The old village chief gathered everyone in an open space, sighed, and said, "Everyone heard what Lord Chijiu said just now. Now if you have children at home, stand up."
The villagers felt like they were dying when they heard this. This... Who would have to bear it? Whose child is not the flesh in his heart? Isn't this cutting his flesh on them?
Some village women with children even protect their children behind them, like a hen protecting their cubs, for fear that someone would take away her child.
A man in the crowd said, "We can't discuss with Lord Chijiu? We have never sacrificed children in previous years, so why this year..."
The old village chief glared fiercely, "Why are you ignorant, and you are ignorant? This time I said it was a sacrifice to Lord Shanjun. It seems that even Lord Chijiu is not the opponent of Lord Shanjun.
If you anger Lord Shanjun, the entire village will suffer. Is this what you want to see?"
The villagers were silent.
"Or what if we move?"
At this time, another person suggested that the old village chief didn't even look at him, and the risk and cost of moving away was much greater than that of two boys and girls.
"I know everyone can't bear to leave their children, but everyone should know that this snake coiled mountain is only a few hundred miles away. Without mentioning the various beasts along the way, even if we run away, we can't run far.
Run out of the snake pan mountain, what if the demon you meet is even more excessive than this Lord Shanjun?”
The old village chief continued to persuade everyone with great thought.
"Whoever should be able to tell which one is more important."
......
The crowd was still silent.
"Everyone doesn't say anything, just pretend that everyone has accusations. Now if you have children at home, come and draw lots."
The old village chief is worthy of being the old village chief, and he convinced everyone in a few words.
At this time, another person in the crowd said, "Some time ago, didn't a girl come to our village? Why not..."
The man didn't continue talking, but everyone knew the meaning.
When the old village chief heard him say this, the figure of the little girl also appeared in his mind.
The little girl was brought back from the forest by a hunter in the village half a year ago. When she found out, she almost died at the mouth of the wolf. If the hunters who went there were not all strong men, she might not have been able to rescue her.
.
When they rescued the little girl, they found that she was not a normal person. Ordinary people had black hair, but the little girl had white hair before the old man and had white hair.
This scared the villagers. Is this a reincarnation of a disaster star, which makes me feel like this again.
Even the hunter who took her in, dared not take her.
The villagers wanted to drive her out of the village, but the little girl seemed to know that she couldn't survive after leaving the village and refused to go out. Even if the villagers carried her out, she would walk back by herself.
After trying a few times, the little girl always ran back by herself, so the villagers discussed how she would take her with her when she went to the town and put her in the town, so the little girl kept it until now.
On weekdays, the little girl always wanders around the village. Occasionally, some villagers can't stand it, so she gives her some food. She often picks wild fruits and doesn't talk much. She sleeps on the big tree at the entrance of the village at night.
Until now.
The old village chief hesitated, "Will this Lord Shanjun dislike that little girl..."
"No, how could monsters care about these things? Even if they are not satisfied, then we will sacrifice one more time."
The man seemed extremely confident, and this was a killing of two birds with one stone. He could get rid of the disaster star and meet the conditions for sacrifice. It was perfect.
Although the old village chief hesitated, there was no better way, so he asked several village women in the village to find the little girl and dress up.
Now there is still a boy who needs to draw lots, and the old village chief still has to take charge of the overall situation here and cannot get out of here for a while.
It is not difficult to find a little girl. Usually, at dusk, she climbs up the big tree outside the village.
A few old and old aunts in the village soon came to the big tree and saw a small figure, dressed in tattered clothes, mud stains on their heads and faces, staring at the falling sunset, looking a little bit more
Poor and beautiful.
One of the aunts shouted, "Little girl, you haven't eaten yet, are you? Come, come down and have a meal."
The little girl looked at everyone with bright big eyes, looking extremely alert. Most of the people in the village were not friendly to her, especially some children, who enjoyed bullying her all day long.
Seeing that the little girl was unmoved, the old aunt said again: "Why don't you believe it yet? This time, there is a great thing!"
At this time, a trace of suspicion appeared in the little girl's eyes. What a great thing?
The village women below looked at each other and decided to take out the excuse they had thought of before.
"That's right. When our village chief saw that it was very inconvenient for you to live here alone, he decided to let you serve Lord Shanjun. This quota is very rare."
Service?
Seeing the little girl still looked ignorant.
The village woman continued to explain: "It is to let you be Lord Shanjun's wife. From now on, no one will dare to bully you next to Lord Shanjun. You can eat whatever you want and have many servants to order you."
The village woman said that the scent was full of things, as if she really asked the little girl to marry a rich man.
She believed everything she said.
Is no one bullying myself anymore?
Can you eat enough in the future?
Wouldn't anyone throw themselves away with mud?
Thinking of this scene, the little girl was also a little happy. Her already bright eyes blinked a few times, and it looked like the twinkling stars in the sky.
The little girl was too immature and believed the village woman in just a few words.
Climbed down from the tree.
Under the leadership of several village women, I walked into the village.
The village woman first made a meal for the little girl. Seeing the little girl eating voraciously, the village woman couldn't bear it. This was a sin.
But the little girl had no idea of the truth, and she showed a shy smile to the village woman while eating.
It made the village woman feel even more guilty.
At this time, the old village chief also came over and the boy was chosen. The family was crying, so the old village chief could only comfort him and ran over to see the little girl.
Seeing the little girl's sloppy appearance, he told the village woman to clean up her daughter and remember not to make Lord Shanjun dissatisfied.
The village woman nodded repeatedly.
After the old village chief left, the village woman arranged to wash and dress up the little girl.
When the village woman used clean water to wash away the mud stains on the little girl's face, she couldn't help but feel a little dull.
"What a pretty girl."
When the village woman thought of such a pretty daughter being sent to the demon's mouth, the guilt of the village woman was like a flood and out of control.
The little girl didn't notice it, but asked, "Auntie, what do you think Lord Shanjun looks like?"
This is the first time that a village woman has heard a little girl speak. Her voice is crisp and soft, and it sounds nice. The village woman always thinks that the little girl is mute.
Just when the village woman hesitated whether to tell the little girl the truth, her eyes glanced at the little girl's white hair, and her guilt stopped again.
"Sir Shanjun, Lord Shanjun is the most powerful person in our area. He is also very handsome. Girl, you will be blessed in the future."
The village woman never met any Lord Shanjun, and she only knew the name today.
I can only continue to deceive the little girl.
The little girl had a longing on her face. She didn't know who she was and where she came from. She only knew that when she woke up, she was hated by the village and rolled her eyes.
Now there are finally people who are willing to accept themselves and marry themselves as their wife.
It was like a ray of sunshine suddenly shining into its dark world.
Couples and little girls are not very clear about what they mean, they only know that only people who have a very good relationship and are very close can become couples.
Although she doesn't know Lord Shanjun yet, she will definitely be a qualified wife and will never let Lord Shanjun hate herself like others.
The little girl made up her mind secretly.
When the village woman saw the little girl's appearance, she felt mixed feelings and wanted to say something but couldn't say it. When she thought of her village, she could only swallow her guilt.
......
In a forest, there is a group of fully armed guards, and it seems that they are not easy to mess with.
These guards were all majestic, and there were no masters among them. They seemed to be looking for something. They were following some trace, looking step by step into the depths of the mountains.
"Brother, do you think you can find it?" A burly man showed a bitter smile and said to a more burly man in front of him.
They have been searching for more than half a year, and now they are almost close to the depths of the mountains. You know, even the experts in the Tiannan Mountains in the deep area dare not break in easily.
Another big man hesitated when he heard his second brother's words, but his eyes soon became firmer again.
"The Heavenly Phoenix King has great kindness to us, and that is his only bloodline. We cannot give up so easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man went deep into the mountains and forests.
"well."
The man who asked the question before could only sigh and follow him in.
