Chapter 3308

Ye Pengfei and Ru Shuang were all stunned when they saw the expression of the daughter-in-law.

It's supposed to be a great joy to have a baby, not to mention a boy, but the daughter-in-law's face didn't even have the slightest happy expression, on the contrary, a trace of sadness appeared. What's the situation?

The daughter-in-law didn't seem to want to talk about the child, and Rushuang couldn't ask again.

In a short time, the family has come to ma er GE's home.

There is no shortage of money in Majia village. Almost all the houses in the village are big houses, which are surrounded by fences to form a large courtyard. So is ma er GE's family.

However, it's the Spring Festival in Japan today. Red couplets and red lanterns are pasted on the doors of every house, while a hundred flowers are hung in Ma Er GE's house. The lanterns under the eaves and couplets on the door panels are all changed into white.

Ye Pengfei and others standing outside the courtyard can hear the sound of mourning in the courtyard.

Ma Jiu's family also looks sad at the moment. They bring ye Pengfei and Rusheng into ma er GE's house. After entering, ye Pengfei sees a small black coffin lying in the middle of the main hall. The coffin is surrounded by white flowers cut from white paper.

Ye Pengfei moves in his heart, spreads out his divine sense, and takes a glance inside the coffin. But there is no corpse lying in the coffin, only a set of clothes, shoes and socks worn by children.

It's obviously a clothes grave.

Ye Pengfei turns his head and looks at Rushuang. Both of them don't speak. After finishing their pilgrimage with Ma Jiuyi's family, they walk out of Ma Erge's home and toward Ma Liuge's home.

The situation of Ma Liuge's family is basically the same as that of Ma Erge's family. It's also a pair of white lanterns and couplets, and it's also a small black coffin. In the coffin are the clothes, shoes and socks worn by the children. The difference is that the child of Ma Erge's family is a boy, but the child of Ma Liuge's family is a girl.

After the funeral, it was almost noon. Ma Jiu's family had lunch at Ma Liu's home and went home.

But ye Pengfei noticed that all the people in Majia village were sad today, as if the dead child belonged to their own family. No one in Majia village ever showed a smile.

Ye Pengfei does not believe that majiacun is united to the extent that he can feel the same feelings. There must be something strange in it.

On the way home, ye Pengfei couldn't help asking sister Lin, "how did these two children die?"

Sister Lin is a sentimental person. She has wiped her tears many times along the way. Her handkerchief has been wet for a long time. This kind-hearted woman is very common in the ordinary countryside.

It was ma Jiu who answered him. He was smoking a dry tobacco in his mouth. One day, he sighed: "these two children were captured by the mountain god."

"Mountain God?" Ye Pengfei frowned. These people even called the great devil Mountain God.

"Yes, every year at the end of the new year, the mountain god takes two children from our Majia village, mostly a man and a woman, sometimes two girls."

"Last year, it was the children of Ma DA and Ma Qi. This year, it's ma er and Ma Liu. Ah... "

Ma Jiu said, and he couldn't help taking a deep breath of dry tobacco.

Ye Pengfei is even more surprised. He has heard of the custom of taking children to worship the river god in some places, but he has never heard of taking children to worship the mountain god. What's more, it's not a mountain god at all. It's a great devil!

"Have you seen the mountain god?" Rushuang asked.

Ma Jiu gave a bitter smile. His smile was full of bitterness. At the same time, with a trace of respect, he said, "Mountain God is a God. We are only mortals. Where can we have a chance to see that God?"

Ye Pengfei and Rushuang frown at the same time, and listen to Ma Jiu: "the mountain god takes our children. In exchange, the mountain god will protect our village. It's peaceful. There has never been any disaster in Majia village. It has been peaceful for hundreds of years. Don't you see that our Majia village is richer than the villagers in other places. "

Although Ma Jiu said so, the smile on his face didn't mean the slightest happiness.

At this time, sister Lin had recovered her mood and said, "in addition to one child of Ma Ding, we had eight children in our family. Only Ma Ding has lived to this day. My eight children, all, all..."

When sister Lin said this, she seemed to recall what happened in those years. She couldn't help crying again.

The eight children are his own flesh and blood. No parents are willing to watch their children die. Maybe it's the mountain god who wants to take their children away. As ordinary people, they don't even have the ability to resist.

Hearing this, ye Pengfei and Rushuang finally understand why Ma Ding's daughter-in-law would show a sad look when they talked about children.

In the future, the children in Ma Ding's daughter-in-law's belly will also be captured by the mountain god. How can this make him happy?

It's better to be born for the mountain god than to be born for yourself.

"For hundreds of years, you have worshipped the mountain god for hundreds of years, and two children die every year. How many people will die in these hundreds of years? Won't you resist? " Frost's voice trembled and he was very angry.

Ma Jiu was a man in his forties. His skin was dark, and he was obviously a man of iron. But after hearing Rushuang's angry words, he not only lowered his head, but also said with a sad smile: "the Mountain God asked us for people. They all took them away when we were asleep. Even if we insisted on not sleeping, we would fall asleep unconsciously. The next day, the child would wake up be missing. It's said that this is the magic of the mountain god. ""Even if there is no magic cast by the mountain god, even if we can find the mountain god, what can we do? We are just mortals. Once upon a time, our village had invited many immortal masters to deal with the mountain gods. But after every immortal master lived in the village for one night, the next day it was still dark, and they all left in ashes. "

Ma Jiu said and wiped the tears on his face secretly.

The reality he said is actually the monks in the cultivation world, who are called immortal masters in the mortal world.

"Don't worry, you two. Every year, the mountain god only takes away the children who are not ten years old. Those who are over ten years old are safe. You two can settle down here. " Finally, sister Lin said.

A few people talk, have already returned to the home.

When ye Pengfei and Rushun got home, they went straight back to their room. As soon as they entered the door, Rushun turned cold and said angrily, "what mountain god is this? It's like a monster. I We must find a way to get rid of him! "

If other people such as frost naturally won't care, but Mr. and Mrs. Ma are good to both of them, especially sister Lin, who is a kind woman. Rushuang doesn't want to see this tragedy happen to sister Lin.

Ye Pengfei was silent. Although he didn't speak, his anger was no less than frost.
