Chapter 42 Sacrifice to the Mountain God

Their conversations are still drilling into my ears.

"Why, just with your fists!"

"Alright, alright, I'll come!"

Then I felt my legs pulled up, and the man dragged me roughly into the village, still cursing bad luck in his mouth.

I endured the pain of my torn leg and still looked at the entrance of the village, my fingers cutting through the snow and picking at the ground, making a final struggle.

The man threw me at the door of my grandson's house and left, lying in the snow, his eyes touching the worn and bleeding fingertips, and his heart was desolate.

I don't know how long later, my body was frozen and stiff, the Sun family came back, they saw me, the woman scolded and kicked me a few times, the man walked directly into the yard, took out a rope, and pumped it on me, their son was wearing beautiful clothes bought in the county, holding toys in his arms, looking at me and laughing.

Even though I was almost out of breath and closed my features, the laughter still drilled into my ears.

After they beat me, they dragged me into the house and left me to fend for myself.

At night, I heard the sound of their family playing in the yard, and I tightened up.

Why am I not dead yet? It would have been nice if they had just beaten me to death, or if I had fallen asleep tonight and never woken up, that would have been fine.

I closed my eyes with such expectations, but the next day I opened them, and the pain in my body was as if every inch of my bones had been shattered, and I couldn't move half a minute.

I looked blankly at the thatched hut above my head, when there was a commotion outside, and then I heard a miserable "son".

Then there were bursts of crying outside, they sounded crying sadly, and footsteps, and there seemed to be a lot of people in the courtyard.

I didn't know what was going on outside, I didn't want to know, I was still lying on the dirt floor, in this little house like a box.

"Bang"

There was a noise outside the house, and it was so clear that it seemed so close to me that I could even hear the sound of the landing.

After a while, someone opened the wooden door of the hut, and it was a man, who dragged me out in disgust.

When I came outside, I saw the son of the Sun family lying on the ground soaking wet and his face was bruised, and the daughter-in-law of the Sun family who was kneeling by the wall of my hut with a large bloody hole in her head.

It seems that the two of them have completely lost their breath, and when I saw this, my heart didn't fluctuate much, and I just thought that it was no wonder that the movement just now was so loud, and it turned out that he died next door to me.

My neck and face were pulled by the rope, and I couldn't move because of the pain, so I could only roll my eyes and look at the Sun man.

He looked unacceptable to everything, and was crying on his knees, his whole face was glossed, and his snot was hanging from his chin for a long time.

Maybe my expression was too calm, these villagers were scolding around me, those swear words were drilling into my ears, what a conscienceless white-eyed wolf debt collector......

Maybe it was these scoldings that made the man of the Sun family also notice me, he stepped out of his legs and walked towards me with anger on his face, kicked directly on my stomach, and scolded in his mouth: "You have no conscience, you have raised you for so many years, and you won't shed a single tear when you die, right?" ”

I bit my lip and didn't scream, I knew he was trying to vent on me.

I don't know how long it took, my body hurt almost numb, and my eyelids sank terribly. I'm finally going to die?

I was dragged back into the house and placed on the ground, waiting to die, but unfortunately, I didn't die, and the sound outside was lively, and there were weeping voices everywhere.

It was as if another child's child had fallen into the river and died, and they were crying together and comforting each other.

I just thought the sounds were noisy, and I licked my lips, which had been dry from drinking for days, and my stomach was already hungry and only a layer of skin, and I kept screaming.

I don't understand, why it's all like this and I'm not dead, is God hating me?

I closed my eyes helplessly, and at that moment I felt something flowing in my body, warm, especially in my waist, as if something was moving!

I suddenly opened my eyes and looked at the empty waist, there was nothing, what was going on?

I didn't understand it, but the warm stuff inside me made me feel so comfortable, I closed my eyes and couldn't help but think, I realized that I could actually control that thing.

What's going on here? Do I have worms inside me? But why can I control it?

I couldn't help but wonder that the unknown had driven me into fear, especially when I found out that I had forgotten my name, what was my name? I had already remembered it before......

"How's it going over there?"

Who's talking? I rolled my eyes and looked around, there was no one, I remembered that the Sun family used to worship the Bodhisattva statue and say that it would exorcise ghosts.

Is the Bodhisattva talking to me? Or a ghost?

I opened my dry lips and asked this question into the unoccupied hut, perhaps because I hadn't spoken for so long, and my throat hurt as if I had been cut by a knife with every word I spoke.

The voice rang in my head again: "Why don't you speak?" ”

I have spoken, did he not hear?

"I see, if you are in danger, you must blow the bone whistle, by the way, when you come back from there, I want to take you to the ancient town again."

The voice never sounded again, and I thought back to what the thing that I didn't know if it was a ghost or a god.

He seems to know me when I hear those words, but I have never been out of this village since I was a child, and I have not even been out of the Sun family a few times, so I don't know anyone at all.

And what is the bone whistle he is talking about? And he said to take me to the ancient town again, where is the ancient town? Have I been to that place? I clearly haven't even gone out of Sunjia Village.

I was full of questions, and I thought back to my past memories over and over again, trying to find clues in those memories.

But as I thought about it over and over again, I found that those memories had become blurry, and there were scenes that I remembered just now, but I can't remember now.

The doubts in my mind grew bigger and bigger, and I tried again to recall my name, what was my name?

The wooden door was kicked open, and the sound interrupted my thoughts, and I moved my eyes to look at the wooden door, led by an old man in a dark blue robe, his fingers moving back and forth, squinting.

Just when I was puzzled, the eyes suddenly opened, only to see the old man pointing at me and saying, "I figured it out, she is the wife of the mountain god!" In the past, so many people died in this village because you displeased the mountain god, but now you only need to sacrifice this girl to the mountain god, and you can appease the anger of the mountain god. ”

The man on the side said excitedly, "Really? ”

The old man stroked his beard: "Naturally, it's true." ”

"Then how are we going to sacrifice her to the mountain god?"
