Chapter 144: Disobeying the will and angering the gods
We hurriedly looked back and saw that it was the manservant of the god who was speaking.
"Oh, I'm sorry, we made a lot of noise here last night, and we have to continue our journey today. In order not to disturb the gods' rest, we left without saying goodbye."
I stepped forward and explained everything to the maid. I thought he would smile and say goodbye, have a safe journey, etc., and then see us to the door. But I didn't expect that he would look serious and unsmiling.
"Please wait for a moment and let me go back and report to the gods."
After the maid finished speaking, he turned around and went back, leaving the nine of us standing at the door. It seems that the god may have come to see everyone off. If this is the case, then he can be considered a man who understands etiquette.
Ten minutes passed, and we were getting a little impatient. What was the maid doing? Does it take so long to inform the gods? After thinking about it, the figure of the maid finally appeared, and he trotted along with him. It seemed like there was something wrong with him.
Please inform us of urgent matters.
"Hello, is there anything else? If not, I'm afraid we have to leave."
Seeing that the god did not appear, everyone was obviously a little frustrated. It seemed that the god was not what they had just imagined.
"Wait!...The gods have said that you can't leave now!"
The valet shouted breathlessly. He was obviously in a hurry, fearing that we would not be able to bring God's orders if we set off.
"Can't leave? Why?"
We all looked at this short manservant and asked in surprise.
"I don't know about this! Anyway, the gods have said that you can't leave just yet! Please go back!"
The words of the maid were categorical, as if they were ordering us to stay. But what was their purpose? Everyone was puzzled and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do. If they stayed voluntarily, they were now being forced to stay.
We were forced to stay, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation. This kind of valeting method really made us feel uncomfortable.
"Forget it, you should stay here for one more day. The gods ask you to do this, and they must have their own arrangements."
Xiao Hai finally spoke. He didn't seem to understand the intention, so he could only follow the will of the gods and give advice.
"Damn it, don't we have the right to leave if we want to? If that god wanted to keep us, why didn't he come in person instead of sending a male servant?"
Hua Zi could not bear his temper and complained with a frown.
"What do you mean...do you want to disobey the gods' will?"
The maid suddenly raised his head and glared at Hua Zi fiercely. Hua Zi's words just now were obviously disrespectful to the gods, which aroused the maid's strong dissatisfaction. Seeing the expression of the believer in front of me changed drastically, I quickly stopped Hua Zi.
behind.
"Ah, um, I'm sorry, my brother is not very good at talking. I hope you can forgive me if I offended him in any way!"
Seeing that I had apologized, and Xiao Hai's persuasion, the male servant finally calmed down a little and stopped pursuing Hua Zi's guilt.
Now we can't leave. We are in other people's territory and we must follow their rules in every move. The gods have clearly ordered us to stay. We thought something must have happened. Without knowing the situation, we can only wait and see what happens.
Next developments.
We returned to the attic and sat there, feeling uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. People in the village were busy, probably preparing for farming. The old cattle on the edge of the field howled and dragged from time to time.
Carrying a heavy plow, walking in the inlet. People talking
Smiling and laughing, they worked in twos and threes in the fields. Groups of children played house under the altar in the courtyard, always accompanied by a little yellow dog. This seemingly peaceful world was full of prosperity.
Apart from the strong religious atmosphere, it is actually a nice paradise.
A few burly men came downstairs unknowingly. They were here to guard the formation. Could it be that we are being imprisoned here?
"Brother, what are you..."
Hua Zi lay on the railing and asked the strong man in surprise.
"We are here to take away this girl according to the will of the gods."
Several strong men pointed at Jiayi and said expressionlessly.
"What? You want to take Jiayi away?...Can you tell me what's going on?"
I stood up with a bang and asked in great surprise.
"There is no need to ask why the gods want us to do something. Please hand over this girl, otherwise we will do it ourselves."
"Don't take her away! Unless you tell me why!"
Seeing that I had a tough attitude and stood in front of me, several strong men finally stopped.
"The god lost too much mana during the sacrifice last night, and it has not recovered today. He needs a woman to spend time with him tonight. He saw that the woman in your team was pretty last night, so he asked us to pick up the girl."
"What!!! Take Jiayi to spend the night at his place??? She is my wife, why should she spend the night with him!!!"
Hearing such a ridiculous and unbridled request, I suddenly became furious and shouted loudly.
"This is the will of the gods, please don't hinder us."
The five strong men were still expressionless and moved forward. If Jiayi was taken away by them, she would probably become a sheep in a tiger's mouth. As Jiayi's husband, how could I stand by and watch and be slaughtered!
"No one is allowed to take her away!"
I stretched out my hands, hugged Jiayi tightly behind me, and glared at the people in front of me. Now I was on the verge of breaking out.
The strong man was still approaching stubbornly, as if he didn't care about my resistance at all.
"Damn it! I told you, no one is allowed to take her away! If anyone dares to take a step closer, don't blame me for killing him!!!"
I threatened loudly, pulled out the sword and held it in front of me, making a final resistance.
"Fuck you! Whoever dares to touch my sister-in-law, we will chop him up!!!"
Hua Zi suddenly led the brothers to pick up the guys on the ground, and suddenly they rushed forward and guarded me on my left and right sides. Suddenly, the hanging tower was full of swords, clanging, and murderous. Eight young men held weapons in their hands.
He glared at the five strong men.
The strong men were obviously startled by the group of people in front of them. They never expected that the new outsiders would be so united. All eight of them were wearing uniform black clothes and were equipped with machetes and sticks. The five unarmed people were no match for them.
.
After a long confrontation, the contradiction was finally put on hold and no conflict occurred. Of course, this is the best. If a conflict occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
The strong men retreated from the attic with dark faces, then murmured curses and rushed towards the gods' mansion. They must have gone to report to the gods to punish us. This is naturally not an optimistic result. Suppose the gods want to
Even if you punish us, we will still have to suffer.
"You're so stupid! You'd better run! If you don't run, you'll be fried in a frying pan sooner or later!"
Hua Zi spat hard and cursed loudly.
His suggestion may be the last possible one! So everyone hurriedly packed up their weapons, jumped off the attic, and prepared to drive away. But when they got downstairs, they were surrounded by groups of people...
"Where are you going?..."
People gathered little by little and finally surrounded us.
"We still have to go on our way. I hope the folks will let us go! Please!"
Jiayi's voice was trembling and helpless, trying to convince people, but was drowned out by serious questions.
"If you don't follow the will of the gods, you will pay the price!"
There was a cry of conquest in the crowd, as if our resistance was completely against the will and should be punished. Their expressions were still cold and serious, like a group of possessed lunatics. The supremacy of the gods made them admire the gods so much that they were insensitive and indifferent to our experiences.
There is no trace of sympathy.
"I will never let you take away my wife! If you come near me again, you will be really rude!"
I held the handle of the knife tightly and pointed the sharp blade at the dense crowd. Hua Zi and the others also leaned together in panic, trying to make a final struggle.
It seemed that the resistance this time was feeble. Hundreds of people surrounded us so tightly that we could not escape even if we fought hard.
Sweat is dripping from my forehead... How I wish someone could stand up and say a word for us at this time. But people seem to be brainwashed. They only have gods in their minds and only unswerving respect.
.They were not afraid of our weapons at all. Instead, they approached more calmly and calmly... The atmosphere was so oppressive that we couldn't breathe...
Suddenly, a huge hemp net shrouded from the sky, instantly trapping the nine of us inside. As people tightened the rope, the hemp net began to shrink until it restrained the nine of us. I picked up the waist knife and split the thick
He tried to break free from the mesh, but before the first mesh broke, the second mesh fell down, then the third, and the fourth...
Just bound like this, the nine people gradually became like chrysalis, controlled so that they could not move at all.
The crowd in Lingtan cheered. They finally saw the "enemy" being arrested and finally expressed their sincerity in front of the gods they believed in. We violated the wishes of the gods and offended the believers of the gods. Perhaps we, a group of poor people, were originally
Now, instead of being pitiful, they have become people’s public enemies and targets that need to be eradicated urgently.
People gave up farming, children stopped playing, and gathered in the center of the Lingtan, waiting to see the tragic end of the rebels.
We were tied up separately and pulled onto the high altar. Nine of us knelt in a row, facing the center of the altar.
"The gods are alive and bless our common people! The gods are alive and bless our common people..."
The crowd in the audience began to boil again, and slogans to welcome the gods sounded again. If most of the nearby zombies had not been captured, it would have attracted a large number of zombies, and then they were surrounded and engulfed.
Sure enough, under the public's expectation, the god slowly walked to the center of the altar, dragging his long brocade robe with the tulle swaying in the wind on his face, faintly revealing a pair of ferocious and evil eyes.
