The man approached step by step, and An Ning could only be so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and just moved back with a look of fear on his face.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry to succeed, and was enjoying the fun of a cat catching a mouse.
Soon, An Ning could no longer retreat. Now she had been forced into a corner with no way to retreat.
Seeing the devil's claws reaching out, she could only hug her shoulders to protect the ragged clothes, close her eyes, huddle up, and scream loudly driven by fear.
But the tearing in her imagination did not appear. "Ah!" An Ning heard a scream, followed by an angry voice, "How dare you hit me?"
An Ning slowly raised her head, and quietly opened her eyes from the protection built up by her hands, looking nervously and horrified at what was happening in the room.
From the narrow gap, An Ning saw her mother being kicked away by a man and hit against the wall. She was holding a stone that was just in her grasp, with blood stains on it.
The man's forehead was now broken, and blood was dripping down. The blood flowed down from above, passing through his eyebrows, blurring his right eye, and then moving downward across his face, leaving a clear blood mark.
, combined with his current ruthless and furious expression, the whole person looked extremely terrifying.
"Made, I didn't expect that I would be beaten by you today." The man picked up the woman with one hand. At this time, she had no reaction. The heavy kick just now left her still unable to catch her breath.
.
"Pah!" There was a crisp slap in the face, causing the corners of her mouth to bleed, and five bright red finger prints quickly appeared on her face.
Seeing that the woman in his hand showed no reaction, the man no longer had the desire to hit her anymore and threw her heavily to the ground.
"Bah! I'm disturbing my mood. I'll deal with you after I get your daughter." The man spat heavily, then added another kick.
Turning around and heading towards An Ning, An Ning suddenly wanted to close her eyes again.
She had no choice but to close her eyes and shrink into a ball, which could bring her a sense of security.
But the next scene made her cry uncontrollably.
Just when the man wanted to get closer to peace, the woman who had been silent once again stretched out her hand tremblingly and firmly grasped the man's trouser leg, preventing him from moving forward.
"No, no, don't hurt my daughter..." The weak voice continued intermittently, but the hand did not let go.
"Made, let go." The man tried hard on his legs to break free, but in vain.
The hand was as white as white, and it grabbed his leg like a pair of pliers. The man had to squat down and use two hands to forcefully separate the hand that was holding his leg.
Just as he was about to step forward, the hands stretched out again, but this time there were two hands. The woman hung her entire body on his feet and hugged him tightly with both hands. The man could not move a step.
The man was so angry that he beat the woman on the head crazily and kicked the woman's body with his other foot.
Seeing her mother being beaten so violently, An Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood up crying.
She ran to the door and slapped it wildly. The woman's strength was already weak, not to mention that she was still a girl. Now she could only ask for help from the two men standing guard outside, hoping that they could help her get rid of this bully of their mother and daughter.
people.
"Please, open the door! Help us, help us, we are about to be beaten to death." An Ning cried helplessly, tears falling like broken pearls.
After taking pictures for a long time, just when An Ning was about to despair, "squeak", finally, the door opened.
The guard outside the house glanced at An Ning indifferently, but ignored her and said to the man who was still beating.
"Your time is up, and the noise has become too loud. It's time to leave, otherwise it will be difficult for us to explain."
The man was really afraid that something would happen, so he kicked her hard again and left cursing.
Then, the door closed again.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, An Ning finally felt a little safer. She ran to her mother who fell on the ground crying, sat on the ground, lifted her up with difficulty, and put her head on his lap.
Seeing her mother's body covered in bruises and injuries, An Ning couldn't help crying sadly.
"An, An Ning..." came a weak voice.
An Ning quickly stopped crying and leaned down to hear what her mother was saying.
"So... so peaceful, no crying."
"Mom is going to find your father. You have to be alone from now on."
When she said this, there was infinite sadness in her eyes. How could she be so good?
My daughter will be sacrificed tomorrow and eaten alive by wild beasts on the mountain.
This damn world of cannibalism!
"My poor little peace."
The woman raised her hand with difficulty, touched An Ning's face, and then pulled her fallen hair behind her ears with great difficulty.
Finally, the hand fell weakly and landed heavily on the ground. An Ning's face turned pale, and the mother in her arms was silent.
"Mother!!!" An Ning cried heartbreakingly.
"Boom!" There was a deafening thunder in the sky, and a bright lightning split the dark night. It disappeared in an instant, and then the sound of "pattering" rain could be heard.
The remaining lamps in the house were like beans. The wind and rain blew in along the cracks in the windows, and the lights flickered, flickering on and off, and then never turned on again.
Tang Sen witnessed all this. Nothing here was an obstacle to him. He could pass through house walls and even people. He already understood that this was the depth of the Bone Spirit's soul. This was her most unforgettable memory.
Things in the past are irreversible. Although I am very angry, I am also very helpless. I can only watch with cold eyes and be a bystander.
…
Act 4.
The next day, many people gathered in front of An Ning's house.
At this time, An Ning stayed up all night, maintaining that posture and looking at her mother in her arms with dull eyes.
Her mother had died long ago, in that dark night. No matter how hard the rain fell, it could not wash away the sins of the village, and no matter how bright the lightning was, it could not illuminate the darkness of the world.
At this moment, An Ning's heart was filled with despair. He sat on the ground motionless, completely ignoring the group of people in front of him.
"What's going on with this woman?" the village chief asked calmly.
A familiar figure stood out. Even though he had changed his clothes, An Ning still recognized him at a glance. He was the man who broke into the house last night, tried to taint himself, and beat his mother to death. His eyes could not help but turn red, and his eyes revealed
A look of deep hatred.
"Village Chief, this woman must have committed suicide out of fear of crime and tried to escape the judgment of the villagers." The evil man complained first and said righteously.
The village chief's eyes turned to the two men guarding the door. They did not refute and acquiesced to this statement.
Just a woman.
The village chief knew that the matter was not that simple. The woman's body was full of traces of beatings and abuse, but he did not go into details. After all, she was just a woman who had lost her man.
Are three strong men punished for this dead woman?
This is obviously impossible.
"In that case, let's put this matter aside and bury this woman." A cold and ruthless voice sounded, and everything was over.
An Ning didn't expect any fairness, and she had no anger at all since she had already been disappointed with everyone.
She didn't want to plead for mercy or argue any more. She had cried all night last night, and her tears had long since flowed out, and her voice had long been muted and she could not speak.
"Bah!" The man stepped forward and spat, his face full of pride.
"Little beauty, I will come again tonight, wait for me, there will be no one in the way tonight." The man whispered.
Suddenly, An Ning raised her red eyes that seemed to be dripping with blood, and looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with deathly silence.
Suddenly, An Ning became violent and hit the man who was still smiling hard on the arm.
"Ah!!!" A shrill scream rang out, and everyone looked at this sudden scene in shock.
The man also tried hard with his hands to push An Ning away, but An Ning bit her tightly.
At that time, he was also caught off guard and was successfully attacked by An Ning, but now he couldn't get rid of him even if he wanted to.
Everyone rushed to help, and several men struggled to separate the two. At this time, Annie had bitten off a small piece of meat in her mouth.
Everyone gasped, it hurt to look at it.
An Ning's face was covered in blood as she looked at the indifferent and ruthless guard, the sinister village chief, the other people who were gloating over the misfortune, and the villain in front of him who had bitten off a bite of his flesh, with a penetrating smile on his face.
Then, without hesitation, he hit the pillar next to him with all his strength.
His mother fought tooth and nail to protect her reputation, but she couldn't let these people succeed no matter what. She couldn't escape death, but it was just the difference between dying after suffering humiliation and seeking death on her own.
Finally, relief.
The peace of dying was filled with relaxation, revealing a soft smile.
In a daze, An Ning lost consciousness.
Everyone was stunned when they saw An Ning lying on the ground with blood on his head.
They didn't expect this little girl to have the courage to commit suicide.
The man was also shocked, and then he felt a deep chill rising from the bottom of his heart, and the wound on his hand seemed to no longer hurt.
"Wang Ergou." A cold voice came from behind.
The man looked back carefully to see the village chief staring at him expressionlessly. Strong fear arose in his heart, his legs were weak and trembling, and he might kneel down at any time.
He knew that this girl was a sacrifice, and as long as she didn't die, it would be fine no matter what, but now.
She is dead.
When the sacrifice to the mountain god dies, the sacrifice must be re-selected.
And to choose again, that is...
Thinking of this, the man's pupils shrank sharply and he broke into a cold sweat.
"Since An Ning is dead, the sacrifice will be your dog egg." Cold and ruthless words came from the village chief's mouth.
That's right, the person who bullied An Ning last night was Wang Ergou, Goudan's father.
There was no one around to intercede for him.
There must be a sacrifice, so it's either his child or your child, who do you choose?
So, everyone was watching indifferently at this time.
"Village Chief, don't, Village Chief, I know I was wrong, Goudan is innocent! Village Chief!" With a "pop", Wang Ergou could no longer hold on, and suddenly knelt down, pleading with tears in his eyes.
The village chief ignored him, turned around and left, and then everyone dispersed.
Wang Ergou sat slumped on the spot.
Tang Sen watched everything in silence, from An Ning's suicide to the murderer reaping the consequences. He watched calmly.
