Chapter 38 Sacrifice to the Mountain God(1/2)
I knelt down and looked at Yun'er, and confirmed again: "You said Liu Yiran went after the shadow?"
"Yes, sister, so don't worry, Liu Yiran is a snake who has been practicing for thousands of years. He is more than enough to deal with a black shadow. He will definitely be able to get the child back!"
Yun'er thought I was worried about the child's safety and didn't react for a while.
But what I care about now is who sent me home yesterday. I think this matter is very important, and it concerns who else knows about it.
"Yun'er, after I fainted last night, who sent me away from here?"
I thought of the dark figure and the familiar eyes I met with Yun'er, and I always felt that the dark figure should be someone I knew.
I remember that he told me at the time that he was doing all this for my own good, and I also thought that the only person in the world who was truly good to me was my adoptive father.
But it's really hard for me to connect my adoptive father with this dark shadow. The only way I can explain it is that there is a relationship between my adoptive father and Master Mu.
As a result, Yun'er looked at Wang Lexin and hesitated but still didn't say anything.
Instead, Wang Lexin said: "Liu Yiran handed you over to me, and I took you home!"
When Cong Yun'er said that there was a Taoist priest who collected those wronged souls, I guessed that Master Mu would be here, but I didn't expect that Wang Lexin was also there.
In addition, my adoptive father never left Wang Lexin and told me that Bai Zimo had left. Therefore, I think that my adoptive father may have cooperated with Master Mu to deal with Bai Zimo.
I knew that my adoptive father wanted to protect me and didn't want me to be associated with a snake demon, but there was no need to be so cruel to Bai Zimo.
If I hadn't gotten up in time to lift the restriction, I don't know what would have happened to Bai Zimo.
As I thought about it, I felt more and more something was wrong.
It seems that I rescued Bai Zimo after releasing the restriction, but none of the other things that happened after the restriction was released was what I wanted to see.
The innocent soul was released, Ni Lin was stolen, the child was robbed, and Bai Zimo continued to sleep...
I couldn't help but wonder if their ultimate goal in doing all this was to get me to unlock the ancestral hall's restrictions?
Thinking of this, my mind suddenly went blank and I wondered if I had done something wrong.
A feeling of powerlessness and defeat hit me instantly.
It was Li Hongbo's very dissatisfied words from the side that woke me up: "Why are you people so cold-blooded? At this time, you don't care about the situation of your children, but you care about who sent you home. I thought you were different from the people in Yunjia Village.
Now it seems that they all have the same virtue."
Wang Lexin wanted to hit Li Hongbo a few more times, but I quickly stopped him: "Wang Lexin, don't hit him. He has no choice but to do so. Those are his wife and daughter. Although his behavior is a bit extreme, it is excusable!"
"Because you are so kind, he just wanted to kill you!" Wang Lexin muttered, but still silently withdrew his hand.
"Okay, since the child is not here, let's go out first. After staying in this place for a long time, I feel very depressed!" I said and motioned to Wang Lexin and Li Hongbo to leave together.
But just when we were about to leave, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards us.
I immediately became alert, and it wasn't until his figure became clear that I saw that it was Liu Yiran who was back.
His fair face was stained with blood, and his originally clean black robe now looked dirty. In short, his image was completely lost.
Before I had time to ask him how he ended up like this, he took out a child from his arms and handed it to me, and said hurriedly: "Let's see if it's still alive. I'll go change my clothes first!"
"Hey..." Before I could finish my words, he disappeared in a flash.
How long has it been since I still cared about my image?
Sure enough, handsome people spend different energy on their bodies.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I quickly took a look at the child in my arms. At this time, the child cried loudly and looked at me with his round eyes, just like a newborn child looking at its mother.
I felt a burst of joy inexplicably, she was still alive, so good!
This child is indeed very lucky. Despite all the hard work in the past few days, nothing happened. He is still crying so loudly now.
When Li Hongbo heard the child crying, he reacted quickly and immediately wanted to come over and hug him: "Give me the child quickly, this is my daughter."
I took a few steps back and looked at him and said, "The child has been found, what are you going to do?"
I know that everyone has prejudices against Coffin, and I am not sure whether Li Hongbo really loves this daughter. Although he has said so much before, it is what he said after all. Who knows what his real thoughts are.
If he goes back and abuses the child, or harms the child in other ways, wouldn't the child just come out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den?
Li Hongbo was stunned for a moment, then said: "How about you return the child to me, I will leave Yunjia Village immediately, and I will not mention what happened in Yunjia Village to anyone in the future?"
"Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for raising a coffin?" I couldn't help but ask.
Li Hongbo shook his head: "Your adoptive father never thought you were a freak, right? What's more, I'm still her biological father!"
Looking at his outstretched hands and sincere eyes, I thought about it, it seems to be the same, the child has a biological father, why should I worry about it anymore.
So I planned to give the child to Li Hongbo.
But just when I was about to give him the child, Wang Lexin stopped me and asked Li Hongbo sternly: "Why do you feed this child? Just with your foolhardy brain?"
Yun'er was also cheering from the side: "Yes, you don't plan to raise her as an ordinary child, do you? She is destined to be extraordinary. I'm afraid you won't be able to raise her, but will harm her!"
I watched these two people singing and singing, and I didn't understand what they were trying to say.
Can't this child live with his biological father?
"What nonsense are you two talking about? How could I not be able to support my daughter? How could I harm her?" Li Hongbo said, actually coming to snatch the child.
But with Yun'er and Wang Lexin here, he didn't dare to take action.
"Your child has an extraordinary background, but you are not lucky enough to raise her. If you want to live a good life for the rest of your life, you should be a good person honestly and keep these things in your stomach. Maybe the child will come back to recognize you when she grows up.
Otherwise, you will never have peace in your life, and your children will not be able to live a good life with you!"
There was a hint of intimidation in Wang Lexin's words, and matching his image and temperament, it really seemed like that.
Li Hongbo seemed to be really frightened. He took a few steps back and stayed far away from me before saying, "Then...then...how am I going to raise my child?"
"Give it to her! Look how close this child is to her!" Wang Lexin said, winking at me, as if he was watching a good show.
I never thought about raising a child.
Don't tell me that I still rely on my adoptive father to provide living expenses. Even if I can support myself, I can't support a child.
He shook his head quickly: "The child has a father, why should I raise it? Besides, I can't raise a child!"
Unexpectedly, Wang Lexin said with a pun: "It's okay, I'll raise it with you!"
He is really open-minded and can do anything like helping others raise their children.
The key is that she still raises her with me. Do you really think that I can become her wife? Why are you so beautiful?
Don't say I have Bai Zimo, even if I don't, I can't fall in love with him! He's a scoundrel, a second-rate Taoist!
If it weren't for the fact that this child is just like me and has never even seen his mother before he was born, which makes me feel compassionate, I really want to throw the child directly to him. If you love him, you can raise him, so I won't wade into this muddy water.
Woolen cloth.
Li Hongbo probably couldn't stand it any longer, so he pushed Wang Lexin away and rushed towards me: "It's not anyone else's turn to raise my own child. You guys haven't even grown hair yet. What kind of child will you raise? Hurry up and give it to me!"
I really wanted to give the child to him, but Wang Lexin and Yun'er just didn't agree, insisting that the child couldn't be with her father.
Seeing that he couldn't argue, Li Hongbo glanced at the child in my arms, smiled bitterly and said, "Then you tell me, who should raise my child?"
"This child is born to learn Taoism. How about being my junior sister?" Wang Lexin raised his eyebrows and said with a serious expression.
This master is really using his strength to deceive the master. If Master Mu knew this news, I wonder if the white beard would be so angry.
It is not easy to raise such a young child.
Unexpectedly, Li Hongbo did not object and said cheerfully: "I think this method is okay!"
Just as Li Hongbo nodded, a voice came from the darkness: "I don't agree!"
Immediately afterwards, we saw the village chief walking towards us wearing strange clothes that we had never seen before.
What is he doing at this time?
Could it be that the child was found and he wanted to get it?
When Yun'er saw him, she immediately lowered her voice and said to me: "Sister, he was the one who threw this child into the pool at that time!"
I did guess that there was something wrong with the village chief and that he lied to us, but I was still surprised when I heard with my own ears that it was him who threw the child into the pool.
I didn't expect that he would kill his own grandson just for his own sake. If the child hadn't been so lucky, he would have died long ago.
But now that he sees that the child is fine, he actually wants to interfere with the child's future.
However, what he said next surprised me even more.
He cleared his throat and said to us: "This child was born to be sacrificed in the ancestral hall!"
An ancestral hall?
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. I thought he was just afraid that others would laugh at him for having a coffin at home, so he hid the child, but he deliberately said that the shadow took him away.
Unexpectedly, his real purpose was to let the child sacrifice in the ancestral hall.
What is this concept?
Why on earth could someone be so cruel as to sacrifice a baby in the ancestral hall?
Before, he acted pitifully like a white-haired person giving a black-haired person a favor, but now what he said was so cold-blooded.
I feel really chilled.
