Chapter 35: [Prayer for Rain] Goddess
"I have only one question, why do you want to clean up a murderous mansion and give us visitors from outside to live in?"
Ning Qiushui stared at the woman on the bed, unable to take his eyes off it.
Mi Lan bit her lip and wanted to say nothing, but as soon as she saw the tablet in Ning Qiushui's hand, she couldn't stop trembling!
"That's not what we intended...... We don't want to be like that......"
Mi Lan's voice was full of guilt and powerlessness.
"But the temple festival is about to ...... If we haven't prepared enough ......"
As soon as she said this, she heard the middle-aged man in the room yell:
"Milan!"
"Shut up, you don't want to live anymore!"
"Is this something that can be said?!"
The three of them were also taken aback by the sudden roar of the middle-aged man!
They turned their heads to look at the middle-aged man and found that his eyes were bloodshot and his mental state was not normal.
"Can't say it...... This kind of thing can't be said! ”
"If you let the goddess know...... We're done!! ”
At the mention of the goddess, the middle-aged man seemed to mention some kind of taboo, and his expression almost collapsed.
And Mi Lan, who was about to tell Ning Qiushui and the three of them all this, also seemed to be awakened by the middle-aged man's roar, she bit her lip tightly and stopped talking.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had fallen into a stalemate again, Bai Xiaoxiao, who had been staying calmly beside Ning Qiushui, suddenly took out a sharp knife from his pocket!
The knife also has a person's name engraved on it - Gardenia.
"I've killed enough people out there, so ...... The world after the Bloodgate usually doesn't like to kill. ”
Bai Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly became extremely cold, completely different from her usual lazy appearance!
The momentum on her body became extremely terrifying, and a rich murderous aura permeated the entire room, and even Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng on the side were frightened by her!
"If we can't find out the truth, we'll die."
"Since it's all death anyway, it's better to kill a few more before you die...... When the cushion back! ”
As she spoke, she walked towards the middle-aged man step by step with a knife.
The latter casually picked up a wooden bench next to him and wanted to fight back, but he obviously underestimated Bai Xiaoxiao's skills.
Just dodged lightly sideways, and the next moment, the sharp blade in Bai Xiaoxiao's hand had already pierced the middle-aged man's neck, subduing him to the ground!
The coldness close to death made the middle-aged man finally calm down.
He didn't dare to move.
Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng on the side were also dumbfounded.
Damn, there is still this kind of operation?
Subdue the NPCs in the Blood Gate directly by force?
"I have to tell you, this knife has avoided your arteries, but if you dare to be presumptuous, I only need to turn the blade a little, and you will die!"
"Do you understand?"
At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao's bewitching and cold temperament on her body was completely revealed.
She was like a female goblin, riding directly on the body of a middle-aged man, this should have been a very fragrant scene, but the sharp and cold blade in her hand made people not have the slightest distraction!
Under the threat of death, the middle-aged man nodded slightly.
He didn't dare to move too much, because the knife in Bai Xiaoxiao's hand was still stuck in his neck!
"Now, to answer our previous question."
The middle-aged man closed his eyes in pain, hesitated for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"I can tell you the truth you want to know, but you must not tell anyone else."
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled, and her face, which was cold a moment ago, suddenly became kind again.
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone else."
"But we know a lot of things, if you let me know you're lying...... You know the consequences. ”
With that, she withdrew the knife in her hand and wiped the blood off it very gracefully.
The wound on the middle-aged man's neck was not deep, and it obviously did not hurt the important blood vessels, but it only bleed a little and stopped.
He let out a long breath, obviously the middle-aged man already knew that if the three people in front of him didn't get the answers they wanted today, it would be difficult for him and his wife to survive.
"It's been a long time, and we don't know everything about it, so let's make a long story short......"
"The village needs to hold a temple festival once a year, and the offerings of the temple festival are ...... It's people! ”
When they heard that the sacrifice of the festival was human, although the three of them had already prepared in their hearts, they couldn't help but shiver slightly.
"What are you going to sacrifice?"
The middle-aged man's face was ugly.
"Sacrifice...... Some people who died a hundred years ago. ”
"Why sacrifice them?"
"I don't know...... It's been the goddess who has been in charge of all this, and we'...... We're only responsible for providing the offerings as she says, and nothing else......"
When Ning Qiushui heard this, he suddenly asked a very strange question:
"Why is the village so poor?"
At the mention of this question, the middle-aged man obviously fell silent, and after a long time he said:
"Every year in the village, every family needs to sell a large amount of grain and meat, and use the money in exchange for the construction of the mountain temple and the land temple, so that we can have a good weather in the coming year......
Ning Qiushui suddenly laughed when he heard this.
"All of this is also in the hands of the goddess, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Yes, it is precisely because of the goddess that everyone can live a stable life, this kind of thing for the common benefit of everyone, we have no reason to refuse, although the poor are poor, but at least ...... Everyone can live in peace. ”
Ning Qiushui thought for a moment and raised a finger:
"I'll ask you a question at the end, and we'll leave after that."
Middle-aged men:
"Good...... Good. ”
Ningqiu Waterway:
"Guangxiu's family was ...... How the hell did he die? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, before the middle-aged man could speak, a strange, cold old woman's voice suddenly came:
"A hundred years ago, when there was a famine in the village, Guangxiu's family not only hoarded a large amount of grain without permission, but also killed the villagers who went to borrow grain, and even made them into food...... This family rides on everyone's head on weekdays to make a fortune, and it is okay to collect money and food in the name of Yanyu Temple, at this moment of life and death, he actually did such an angry thing, causing the people in the village to live poorly, and there are starving people everywhere, but fortunately, my ancestor Ruan Kaihuang stood up and led the villagers to rush into Guangxiu's home, which ended his life of doing many evils! ”
As soon as this voice came out, the bodies of the five people in the room instantly tensed!
Especially the middle-aged man and Mi Lan on the bed, trembling violently, her face was pale, and there was no trace of human color for a long time......
pS: I will write four chapters today and save the manuscript in the evening, and it should be faster tomorrow.
