After leaving the Jiang family villa and breathing the air outside, Jiang Ci was in a good mood.
Because just now, she felt that she had recovered a lot of her luck. If she continued at this rate, she would soon recover all her luck.
But it shouldn't be so smooth later. If her guess is correct, the forces behind the Jiang family will soon be unable to restrain themselves and take action.
As for Master Zhang, the person behind this is definitely not him, but if he dares to have any evil intentions, don't blame her!
Before her luck is fully recovered, it is still useful to keep Jiang Qianxue, otherwise with her character, Jiang Qianxue would never be able to stay around for such a long time.
The night is getting darker.
Jiang Ci was about to take out her cell phone to take a taxi when a call came in. After seeing the note, she frowned slightly.
After picking up the phone, Si Yubai's anxious voice came from the other side: "Master Jiang, help me, something happened to my sister!"
Jiang Ci looked calm and said quietly, "Tell me what's going on."
"Okay, here's what happened." Si Yubai said, his eyes full of anxiety.
"My sister's name is Si Yiran. She is a junior this year. She was invited to attend the birthday party of her classmate a few days ago. There were three girls and four boys at the party, plus my sister and her classmate. There are nine of them in total.”
"My sister originally promised to go home today, but now it's almost dark and she hasn't come back. Then I just received a call from my sister's classmates. They said something happened to my sister! "
"The people who went to the party together this time are all students of Kyoto University, and they are also my sister's classmates."
Si Yiran has loved painting since she was a child, so she chose the Fine Arts Department of Kyoto University as her college major. The girl celebrating her birthday this time is her deskmate and good friend Xu Wanwan.
Xu Wanwan is pretty and cheerful, so she is very popular in the class.
This birthday party was Si Yiran's idea. She invited several other good friends in the class to attend, and everyone celebrated Xu Wanwan's twenty-first birthday together.
Because it was Xu Wanwan's birthday, the party was naturally held at her home, and several people had fun at her home all day long.
After the party, they made an appointment to go out together for a few days. The young man's ideas were very out-of-the-box, and they hit it off immediately.
But when they were discussing where to go, they ran into difficulties. Although they were all from wealthy families in Kyoto, they had already visited all the entertainment venues in Kyoto.
At this moment, Xu Wanwan suddenly thought of a place, and she suggested: "Have you ever heard of Jinyang Mountain in City A? Why don't we go there to explore!"
"Jinyang Mountain?" One of the girls asked: "Wanwan, are you talking about the Jinyang Mountain where terrifying legends have been circulating?"
Xu Wanwan nodded: "Yes, that's it."
Twenty years ago, there was a small village called Jinyang Village deep in Jinyang Mountain. The people in the village believed in the mountain god because they believed that the mountain god existed. Therefore, they paid to build a mountain temple on the top of the mountain. .
Strangely enough, since the mountain temple was built, the harvest in the village has been getting better and better every year.
Everyone thinks that this is the reason why this mountain temple was built. The mountain god feels everyone's faith and will naturally bless them.
Since then, the villagers have become more convinced that the mountain god is real. Every household in the village enshrines a statue of the mountain god. Over time, belief in the mountain god has become a custom in Jinyang Village.
The accident happened in the third year after the mountain temple was built.
One morning, the villagers got up early to plow the fields as usual, only to find that all the crops in the fields had died inexplicably. This happened to more than one household, but to more than fifty households in the whole village.
Not only that, even the livestock raised at home all died of illness.
This thing was so weird that no one knew what happened. They only knew that the whole village seemed to be cursed. Overnight, there was no one alive except human beings in the village!
The villagers were terrified, thinking that the mountain god was angry and punishing them. If they wanted the village to return to its former peace, they had to appease the mountain god's anger.
So they decided to send the mountain god to marry a bride to appease the mountain god's anger.
They selected qualified girls from the village. In the end, there were six qualified girls, but none of them was willing. After all, no one wanted to marry a god who only lived in people's thoughts.
This is not possible. If there is no bride to marry the mountain god, the mountain god's anger cannot be appeased.
Although everyone hopes that the village can return to its former vitality, people are selfish and no parents are willing to sacrifice their children for the sake of the village.
………
The finally selected bride was called Erya. Erya was an orphan in the village. Her parents went out to work when she was very young and never came back.
After a long time, everyone agreed that they were dead, otherwise why didn't they come back to see them after so many years.
Erya is a child who grew up eating hundreds of meals. It can be said that without the help of the villagers, she would have died a long time ago.
So now when it was the villagers' turn to need help, they thought Erya should help.
After all, if it weren't for them, Erya would have died long ago.
But Erya has a sweetheart, so she is unwilling to marry the mountain god.
Erya's sweetheart is also from this village, named Li Wen.
Although everyone is kind to her, she still hopes to marry the person she likes.
For Li Wen, Erya refused to marry the mountain god at all, because Li Wen had promised her that he would marry her when she came of age, and she would be an adult in a few days.
Everyone in the village condemned Erya, but so what, as long as she could marry Li Wen, she was willing no matter how much infamy she suffered.
In order to force her to compromise, the villagers locked her up and deprived her of food, but even so, Erya never let go.
The bride who marries the mountain god must be sincere. In other words, she must be willing. If the bride is not willing, there is no point in getting married.
On the third day of Erya's imprisonment, Li Wen came to see her.
Erya happily stepped forward and hugged him, "Brother Li Wen, are you here to save me?"
"Brother Li Wen, let's run away together. I don't want to marry some mountain god, I just want to marry you!"
Erya was dreaming happily, but Li Wen suddenly pushed her away: "Erya, how can you be so selfish? Can you just bear it? They are people who have helped you before!"
Erya looked at him in astonishment. She never thought that Li Wen was also here to persuade her to marry the mountain god.
Erya pushed him away angrily: "Yes, I have never forgotten this kindness, but why must I use my happiness to repay the kindness?"
"Don't you remember our agreement? You said you would marry me!" Erya asked him.
Li Wen said impatiently: "Yes, I said it, but it was just a joke and cannot be taken seriously."
"Everyone in the village needs you now. You can't be so selfish. It's a bargain to exchange your own happiness for the prosperity of the village in the future!"
