Chapter 389

Every time the Divine Mother exerts her divine power, the mountain water will be cut off for a few days. The Divine Mother says that the Mountain God needs a good life to recuperate for a few days because she has borrowed the divine power from her. It's just that the water will be cut off for a few days. It's a great tolerance.

Because of this, the villagers have a deep belief in the mountain god.

Xu Qing gives some warm water and pie to the woman. After the woman thanks, she gulps at the pie, obviously hungry for a long time.

When she finished eating, Xu Qing asked her name.

"My name is Alan. I married to this village three years ago, but not long after I got married, my husband died. People in the village say I'm a killer. They hate me and reject me. I'm a widow. It's so hard to live alone that I always want to remarry. "

Then Alan touched his stomach. "There is a boy in the village who likes me very much. Later I learned that he just lied to me and didn't want to marry me at all. But I'm pregnant and I can't hide my stomach. Everyone asked me who the child was, and I couldn't tell. Then the godmother said that the fetus in my womb was reincarnated by evil spirits and had to be burned. When I wanted to tell the truth, it was too late. It was estimated that even if I said it, we would not believe it. "

Xu Qing: "does shenpo always kill if she wants to kill?"

Alan took a look at Xu Qing and nodded: "at least in the three years I've been married, shenpo has sacrificed five children to the mountain god. Now there are no children in the village. Even the newborn children are given to the mountain god by shenpo."

"But in my hometown, we don't believe in this. We also know that shenpo is deceitful. The villagers here are too stupid. Those children must have been abandoned by shenpo. If the young children are abandoned in the mountains, they will not survive."

"Shenpo sacrificed a lot of children and burned those villagers who didn't obey her discipline alive. There are five strong men behind her. They are said to be the servants of the mountain god and can enjoy the sacrifice of the people, which means that we must support them."

"But these five men only obey the orders of shenpo. They will do whatever shenpo asks them to do. The villagers are very afraid of them. Today, I think they would have done it if they hadn't seen you with knives. "

Xu Qing sneered: "no wonder an old woman dares to be so arrogant. I don't think she has any ability except bravado. But you still tell me what happens in the village every time the goddess performs her magic power. "

Alan thought: "God can ask for rain, every time after the practice, it will rain the next day. In addition, every time she exerts her magic power, the river on the mountain will stop flowing for three or four days. In fact, there are still some strange things. For example, if she points a person a few times, the person will send out a stench. The goddess says that she forces the foul air out of his body... "

Xu Qing: "the move of ants and the low flying of swallows all indicate that it is going to rain. The change of weather can be detected in advance. The river on the mountain is cut off. It may be that the source has been blocked. As for why it has been blocked for three or four days instead of longer, I'm afraid that if the source has been blocked for a long time, it will not be able to withstand the water pressure. And the stench is even simpler. Some plants and insects have their own stench. It's nonsense that she makes them stick on her body and say anything foul. "

Alan also thinks that Xu Qing's statement is reasonable: "anyway, I don't believe it, but people here believe it. I didn't know this village was like this before. I would not have married if I knew earlier. My parents have only one child. I really want to go home. If I can give birth to this child in my stomach, it's good to be my parents' grandson."

Xu Qing comforted her: "don't worry, we will help you."

Alan nodded gratefully: "if it weren't for you, I would be burned to death by them tonight."

Hu Ling said: "the God woman sacrificed her child to the mountain god, and the people in the village just watched. After all, it was their own bone."

Alan: "people here believe in mountain gods, and only married women like me can't accept it. Before, several women were driven crazy by the goddess. I'm lucky that I didn't have a baby at the beginning, or I'll end up like them now."

Said Alan red eyes: "they are so poor."

"Oh, yes." Alan whispered, "sister Cao, the owner of this wooden house, has also been sacrificed to two children, a man and a woman. If these two children are still alive, I'm afraid they can have a family."

Hu Ling felt that this God mother-in-law had done great harm to people: "it's time to cut off people's descendants. There are no children in the village. In the future, there will be no continuation of the village. When all the people in the village die, sooner or later, the village will come to an end."

Alan nodded: "I heard that before the natural disaster, shenpo usually sacrificed livestock and poultry to the mountain god, and occasionally sacrificed living people. After the natural disaster, everyone felt the anger of the mountain god, and shenpo said that she would take a lot of children to appease the mountain god, otherwise the natural disaster would come to people again."

Xu Qing sighed. It's too remote here. If there is government discipline, it's impossible for this kind of strange power to harm children.

Natural disasters are all natural disasters. People are ignorant, so they can be fooled so easily.

This is probably the terrible thing about no culture.Hu Ling disdained to say: "let's wait until tomorrow to see what kind of moth this goddess can come up with."

Xu Qing said to a LAN, "where is your hometown?"

Alan: "Baixing village is in the north, far away from here. It takes three or four days to get there."

Xu Qing: "do you know how to get there?"

Alan nodded: "I always look forward to going home, so I always keep the road home in mind."

Alan described the location, Hu Ling said: "we can go back in that direction, but we will take a long way."

Xu Qing: "how long will it take?"

Hu Ling: "one or two days."

Xu Qing: "it's OK. We'll send Alan home by the way."

Alan was ecstatic: "really? Thank you, thank you! I Unfortunately, I have nothing to repay you... "

Xu Qing: "just along the way, and children are more important. I think your parents will be very happy to see you go back."

Alan wiped his tears and nodded, "Well!"

Xu Qing put Alan in the room upstairs. After being shut up for several days, she was frightened at night. She must be very tired. Pregnant women need to have a lot of rest.

They went back to sleep for a few hours. Xu Qing got up to make breakfast for everyone.

Some children who get up early come to the kitchen to help after washing. Xu Qing sees that sister Cao stares at the children here, with nostalgia and pain in her eyes.
