Before I had time to ask what was going on, Bai Zimo disappeared, and then my body felt cold. It seemed that he had returned to my body.
Who hurt him?
I can't imagine that there is anyone in our village who can hurt this snake monster.
Well, he said he was not a demon.
But no matter what he is, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a mysterious and terrifying existence. Who has the ability to hurt him?
"Bai Zimo, are you okay? Tell me what happened?" I tried to talk to him in my body to see if I could find any useful information.
I also wanted to ask him if he had seen my dad missing.
But Bai Zimo didn't react at all. He must have been beaten to death.
I was thinking this in my heart, and my head was buzzing. How could things become like this? Obviously three people went out to play together, but in the end I was the only one left. What happened?
He just told me to go quickly. Where can I go? What forced him to say such a thing?
Just when I was puzzled, there was a noise outside.
I looked back and said, "Hey guys, I'm afraid the whole village has been mobilized. There's a huge crowd outside, which has completely surrounded my small courtyard."
The village chief took the lead and came to my yard, pointed at me and said, "Everyone, tie up this freak and send him to the ancestral hall to petition. Only if he is forgiven can we in Yunjia Village have a way to live. Otherwise, everyone will die!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several uncles behind him came over and tied me up like a criminal.
I couldn't break free from their hands, so I could only glare at them: "Why should I be tied up? I didn't do anything wrong?"
"Why, just because you are a freak, you have snakes on your body, you will harm everyone in our village. If Yun Yan hadn't been protecting you, you would have died a long time ago. Now he can't protect himself, so just accept your fate Bar!"
The village chief's words made me dizzy. Sure enough, something happened to my adoptive father.
Now Bai Zimo has become weak again and has no way to help me. As a girl, how can I be their opponent? I can only let them carry me like a chicken to the ancestral hall.
Our village is an ordinary small mountain village. Every household has a single courtyard and a small tile-roofed house, but this ancestral hall is the only one that is impressively built.
When I was a child, I really wanted to go in and see what was happening behind the gate, but I was never able to do so.
I didn't expect to go in in such a condition today.
If I had known that this would happen, then Bai Zimo should not have come out of my body and ran away alone, so that he would not be injured, and now he can follow me into the ancestral hall, and wait until he gets his things back, maybe You can also save me and my adoptive father.
Well now, they are all prisoners.
Of course, I'm not sure whether my adoptive father also fell into their hands.
I was tied up by them, but I was thinking in my heart, what should I do when I get to the ancestral hall? What will they do to me?
We are all from the same village. Even if I am a little weird, it won't kill me, right?
Maybe it's just to scare me so that I won't dare to stay in this village in the future.
Anyway, I have to go to school in other places. I can come back a few times in the future. If I don’t stay, I won’t stay. Why do I do this?
But I clearly felt that they were not trying to scare me this time, so I asked the aunt next to me: "Auntie, what are you trying to do by tying me up? Where is my dad? Why doesn't he come out?"
The lady usually struck me as quite kind. At least she never called me a freak like others. I thought she might be able to reveal some information.
But she shook her head and whispered: "Don't speak, God will hear you. You made a mistake, and you will naturally be punished. As for the rest, I don't know."
After she finished speaking, she quickly walked away from me.
I was immediately dumbfounded. When did the people in the village believe in God?
Are you going to punish me?
Is there any mistake? Everyone has been in peace and harmony these years. What did I do wrong?
Damn Bai Zimo, isn't it his debt again?
This guy can't pretend to be dead now, let me bear all this alone, you bastard!
If my host dies, won’t he also suffer?
Just as I was thinking about it, they took me outside the ancestral hall.
All these villagers knelt down, and I was forced to kneel down and kowtow.
There are no ancestors of mine here, so I’m just kidding myself.
Even if I have ancestors, they can't be tied up like this, right?
But no matter how reluctant I was, I could only let them continue.
The door of the ancestral hall was wide open, and the smell of incense and candles came from inside. It seemed that someone had been ready inside, just waiting to catch me.
I think the inside of the ancestral hall can be described as magnificent, which is completely different from the houses where we villagers live.
I really can’t understand why people would rather live in a poor place than build such a good ancestral temple. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
And I saw that the number of tablets provided here exceeded my imagination.
The number of people in our village is not small, there should be three to four hundred people in total, but the memorial tablets here seem to be more than the number of people in our village.
I can't imagine how old this ancestral hall is and how many ancestral tablets there are.
What surprised me even more was that my adoptive father was also in the ancestral hall.
He was tied to a pillar, and the backpack was thrown aside carelessly. The men stuffed towels into his mouth, not knowing what they were trying to prevent.
When he saw me, his eyes were filled with helplessness and sadness.
When I saw that he was also tied up, I cried out, "Dad, why are you caught here? What do they want to do?"
But the adoptive father could only shake his head, and tears began to fill his kind eyes.
I struggled hard to get to him, but these villagers were like crazy, holding me down, and some people took out a knife, which seemed to be prepared for me.
They want to kill me.
Is there any royal law for this?
Kill people in broad daylight?
I wanted to call the police, but there was nothing I could do.
Then Yunlan took the knife and walked towards me. He looked at me steadily without any emotion in his eyes. He was not like this before. At least in front of Aya, he had always been a loving father, but today he pointed the knife at me. Holding me.
I tried to regain his sense: "Uncle Yunlan, what's wrong with you? I'm Aya's friend, and Aya won't let you hurt me!"
But he didn't listen to me at all, and his eyes were so cold that it was scary. He took a knife and roughly cut open my collar, revealing the head of the white snake inside, and then he smiled evilly.
I finally understood what they were going to do. They wanted to kill the snake, but the snake was on me. Killing the snake would be equivalent to killing me.
Then, someone tore off my clothes from behind, exposing my entire back. I knew that this white snake was now their prey, and I was the sinner harboring the white snake.
So White Snake and I will be executed by them today.
The chill on my body became heavier and heavier, and I called Bai Zimo thousands of times in my heart, but he was like a mud cow crossing the sea, without a trace.
Looking at the gleaming knife, I hurriedly shouted: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, if I don't come out, I will really die!"
But it had no effect. Yunlan didn't even blink, and stabbed the knife directly at my collarbone, hitting the white snake in the head.
This is an attempt to kill me. It seems that they have no intention of letting me live at all.
The pain hit me instantly, and I felt the blood in my body begin to flow out slowly, but I did not die because the injury was not to my heart and lungs.
But the pain is like gouging out the heart.
I raised my eyes and looked at my adoptive father. He had tears streaming down his face. Because his mouth was gagged, he could only make um, um, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
I couldn't help but shed tears. It happened so suddenly and I was not mentally prepared at all.
Enduring the pain, she forced herself to face him and said, "Dad, I'm sorry, I can't go to the town with you once, and I won't be able to accompany you for the rest of my life. Please take care of yourself in the future. Without me as a disaster star, you will have a better life." OK!"
My adoptive father could only look at me with tears in his eyes and shake his head, but could not say anything.
Blood overflowed from the corners of my mouth, and my body became colder and colder. I never expected that I would end up like this when Bai Zimo turned into a human.
He used his last strength to look at his adoptive father: "Thank you for your upbringing over the past eighteen years. I will still be your daughter in the next life."
No one around me stopped the murder. I was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
At this time, Yunlan increased the strength on her hand and turned the knife that was thrust into my body ninety degrees. The sharp sting made me lose consciousness. My body became colder and colder, and it seemed that all my blood was about to drain out.
Endless pain came over me.
I don't know if this knife hurt Bai Zimo. At this moment, I am still thinking about this snake monster that has made me bear the name of a freak for more than ten years. I am really speechless.
The villagers nearby were indifferent to my pain, and some even started cheering: "The freak is dead, the freak is dead, our village is at peace!"
The village chief also stood up at this time and said: "The snake demon has been eliminated. Don't worry, everyone. We will still have good weather and good harvests in the future. Yun Yan adopted the demon girl. His crime is unpardonable. Let's get rid of it all!"
What?
They didn't even let their adoptive father go?
My heart sank, and there was an inexplicable flow of air rushing around my body, as if it was about to burst out of my body at any time.
"Don't hurt my dad. You, all of you, will not die well. I curse you..." I struggled and yelled at them through gritted teeth.
When they heard my curse, they all had expressionless faces, as if they didn't care at all.
"Come on, what qualifications do you have to curse in the ancestral hall, you witch? Our ancestors will not let you go, otherwise why do you think we brought you here?" The village chief looked at me coldly, his eyes full of confusion. Disdainful.
It turns out...it turns out that they had planned how to deal with me from the beginning, and even thought that I would curse me before I died, so they used their ancestors to suppress me.
I hate myself so much. I hate that I have been living peacefully for a long time. I never thought that human nature could have such an evil side. I thought that as long as I didn’t harm others, others wouldn’t harm me.
But now I understand, it's too late.
I was suddenly glad that Aya had left here, otherwise he would have been so sad when he saw me dying in front of him.
I regretted that I didn't spend more time with my adoptive father. I was busy with my studies and rarely came back from boarding in high school. After finally finishing the college entrance examination, I ended up in a coma for more than a month.
He has always been giving, and I have never done a thing for him.
Even going for a walk with him has become a luxury.
My body was getting colder and colder, but even so, they didn't let me go. I didn't know who it was, but they whipped my back with a cane.
There were one or two blows at first, and then the vines fell like raindrops.
Bai Zimo's snake body must have been beaten to pieces by now!
I couldn't even cry anymore, so I fell to the ground and let them beat me.
I am afraid that my life will be fixed at the age of eighteen. However, at this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and everyone began to scream. I tried to open my eyes, only to see a white mist in front of me, and there was a sound in my ears. A strange voice: "It's impossible, how could this happen? It can't be wrong, there must be something wrong..."
I didn't know what he said was wrong, and I didn't have the strength to open my eyes again to see what was going on, so I just fainted.
Plunged into darkness.
