Chapter 63 Ghost Tuozi IV
Genber came to the door of the high priest and called softly, "High priest, are you there?" ”
When the high priest heard this, a handsome young man came out of it, and he had two large feathers stuck in his ears, and these two feathers were inserted directly into his ears.
"Genber, you're here."
Genbo nodded slightly and said, "Xuan'er, this year is the last time you will be a high priest?" ”
"yes, Genber." The high priest's name is Chen Xuan, his family is poor, just because his parents can't pay the rent, he can only send him to the Mo family (one of the four major families), Chen Xuan opens the door curtain and welcomes Genbo into the house.
"I don't want you to help out, after all, this is the last time, so let's keep a memory!"
Genber took out his cigarette stick, stuffed tobacco leaves into his pipe, struck a match, lit the pipe, and took a deep breath.
There were only 300 people in Chiyouzhai, and every ten years one person from among the children would be chosen to serve as the high priest.
The High Priest has a title and is presided over by the four elders of the village.
It is not so much a high priest as a puppet, and the four elders are the four major families in the village, controlling everything in the village.
The office of high priest was just a scapegoat for them.
Genbo looked at the young man in front of him affectionately, and sighed: "Xuan'er, I've really embarrassed you all these years, if you hadn't dealt with them, our village wouldn't be where it is today!" ”
Chen Xuan's eyes were moist, and he choked up and said: "Genbo, don't say it, since I am in this position, I have to do my part for our village, they can do whatever they like!" ”
"Good!" Genber knocked on the cigarette stick and said sharply, "Say it! What do you want to do tomorrow? ”
Chen Xuan whispered into Genbo's ear and said, "Tomorrow I want to take the opportunity of appointing a new high priest to get rid of them. ”
Hearing this, Genbo opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Chen Xuan and said, "Child! You have to think about it, they are not good at stubble! ”
"Don't worry! It will definitely not affect you, they have been rampant in the countryside all these years, and they have done all kinds of evil, even if I can't get rid of them, it's a big deal to think like Juanzi. ”
Seeing Chen Xuan's sworn appearance, Genbo didn't want to say anything, he knew very well in his heart that Chen Xuan wanted to avenge Juanzi.
Genber nodded silently, walked to the door, and sighed, "Alas! They are all hard-working children. ”
After Chen Xuan became the high priest, he fell in love with a foreign woman, Juanzi, and the four elders refused to let them be together for their own interests.
But love can't be stopped, and the two secretly love each other despite the obstacles, which eventually leads to a tragedy.
The four elders first imprisoned Chen Xuan, and then sent someone to brutally kill Juanzi, but they didn't know that Juanzi was already pregnant at this time.
With just one corpse and two lives, Chen Xuan was like a bolt from the blue when he knew it, and since then, he has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge
Chen Xuan secretly contacted many young people in the village, all of whom had been oppressed by the four major families, and they had long been unable to bear it.
Chen Xuan didn't tell Genbo the details, in fact, Chen Xuan didn't know if tomorrow's plan would be successful, and if he didn't tell Genbo, he was actually protecting him.
Not long after Genbo left, the four elders came to Chen Xuan, the four of them looked arrogant, and after seeing Chen Xuan, they said angrily: "I heard that you are going to hold a sacrifice ceremony tomorrow?" ”
Chen Xuan was shocked by their aura, a little frightened, and said in a panic: "Yes, there is such a thing. ”
Sitting in the upper seat, a man with a goatee slapped the table angrily and yelled, "Why don't you discuss such an important matter with us?" ”
It could be seen that the man with the goatee was the eldest of the three of them, and he was the only one of the four who was sitting, and the other three were standing beside him.
Chen Xuan's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly: "I." I am the High Priest ... ”
Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, another person stood up and directly slapped Chen Xuan.
"Smack!"
"Humph! High Priest? Joke, if we hadn't lifted you up, you would be a high priest like a bear. ”
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to hit Chen Xuan again.
"Lao He." The goatee man stopped him, and when Lao He saw that the goatee man was glaring at him, he retreated.
The goatee man stared at Chen Xuan deadly, and said word by word: "You'd better not play tricks on me tomorrow, or I'll make your whole family worse than dead." ”
After speaking, the four of them left, looking at the backs of the four of them, Chen Xuan scolded in his heart: "You wait for me, tomorrow you will either die or I will die." ”
Lao He asked the goatee man puzzled, and said, "Big brother, since we know that kid is going to harm us tomorrow, why don't you give him today... ”
Lao He said, and by the way, he made a movement to wipe his neck.
The big fat man who was traveling with him smiled: "Use your brains more, if you expose him today, where will you see a good show tomorrow." ”
Lao He didn't understand, looking at the goatee man, the goatee man shook his head helplessly and said: "You really have to learn from Lao Sun and use your brain in everything." Let me ask you, why is Chen Xuan dishonest? ”
Lao He replied without thinking: "It must be to get rid of our shackles." ”
"Wrong." The fat man Lao Sun preemptively said: "This kid probably has a grudge against us?" ”
"Hold a grudge?" Lao He scratched his head and looked seriously thinking.
A tall thin man next to him poked Lao He's arm and said, "You forgot, didn't we kill a woman!" ”
"Oh!" Lao He suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! See how I kill him tomorrow. ”
When Genber got home, I didn't ask him directly about the Taoist priest.
Seeing Genber's worried look, I had a hunch that something big was about to happen.
It just so happened that the sleeping baby also woke up, and Genber was startled when he saw the baby's appearance.
"He... Where did you get this from? ”
I pretended not to know what was going on, and looked at him suspiciously, but his son Yun'er saw that his father was wrong, so he asked, "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Don't you usually like children the most? ”
Genber frowned, never took his eyes off the baby for a moment, and asked with a serious expression, "Where did this baby come from?" ”
Seeing that Genbo was really angry, I didn't hide it, and carefully explained how Qingde fell into the cave, the situation in the cave, and how we finally climbed up.
"Ghost Tuozi, Ghost Tuozi, Ghost Tuozi." After hearing this, Genber silently read it three times, and then sat there in a daze, until after a while, he said, "Is there any characteristic of that female corpse?" ”
I looked at Qingde, who was still eating, Qingde glanced at me and muttered in a low voice: "I told you a long time ago that this baby can't be touched, you see, something happened!" ”
As he spoke, Qingde took out something from his arms, which was a ring on the female corpse's hand bone.
