Li Yuguo originally thought that the branch of the Skeleton Cult was a palace or a manor. Even at the very least, there should be a pagoda-like building like Tingxue Pavilion, but the scene in front of him surprised Li Yuguo.
This is a flat ground. The faint appearance of white bones on the ground indicates that this place is a mass grave. However, there are no fresh corpses around, indicating that this mass grave has been abandoned for a long time.
Although it is on the top of the mountain, those earthen bags are still very eye-catching, but there are not only bones here, but also many flowers.
Wisteria, morning glories, white roses, wild chrysanthemums, if you look carefully you will find that this place is full of life.
It seems very ironic that life and death are presented in one place.
In the distance, there is another village with thatched houses, which do not look very sturdy. The faint mildew spots on the roofs indicate that these houses have been there for some years. However, the heavy rain before has rotted many houses. top.
So many people here are repairing their houses, and the scene is very lively.
On Li Huguo's way up the mountain, many people from the Skeleton Cult were carrying things. Some were holding donkeys, and some were carrying them directly on their shoulders. They were all wood and hay.
"Hey! Hey!" Several big men carried a huge log, shouted slogans, and ran towards the village step by step. They were shirtless and muscular, especially the one who took the lead. The hair is very thick and even grows into the shape of a heart, which looks very interesting.
"This is... the branch of the Skeleton Cult?" Li Hugo said.
"Yes, it looks like a mountain village, right? Or a poor mountain village." Xiaoyu said.
"Yeah." Li Hugo said.
Xiaoyu looked back at him: "But it is indeed a mountain village. It turns out that this village suffered from a cold, which was passed from person to person. Almost everyone got sick. They were in danger. Someone happened to pass by at that time and saved them. , so everyone in the village fell into the arms of the Skeleton Cult, and the people here are very pious."
"I can see it." Li Huguo looked around.
Several aunts who were weaving straw ropes waved to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you're back from collecting herbs!"
"Yes, Zhang Ma, this is the medicinal herb prepared for you." Xiaoyu took out a bunch of medicinal herbs from a purse on her waist.
The aunt was surprised and happy when she got the herbal medicine. She smiled from ear to ear with a kind expression on her face.
Li Yuguo's face became a little more relaxed, and he said: "This is a very simple folk custom..."
"The folk customs are simple..." Xiaoyu covered her mouth and smiled.
Li Yuguo glanced at her and said to himself that the girls from the Skeleton Cult all seemed to have good looks, but Xiaoyu was also a saint, so it was natural for her to have such looks. She was a small and exquisite type, and her figure was a bit thinner. She is like a little girl who has not yet developed, with a flat chest. If you didn't look closely, you would think she was a boy, but her facial features are quite delicate, especially her big, watery eyes, which are quite lively.
"What are you looking at? You kidnapped my sister, and now you want to kidnap me?" Xiaoyu shook her hair and stopped looking at Li Hugo, "My sister likes you, but it's just because of the backlash of the charm, and the backlash of the charm also has time. , three months…”
"Three months?"
"Well, after three months, if my sister still likes you, then she really likes you. If not... then it's just the backlash of the charm technique. It is a very profound skill... Of course, I don't like it, after all. Playing with people's emotions seems despicable to me." Xiaoyu came to the door of a house. She opened the door and stood aside and said, "Okay, we're at the place, let's go in."
"I didn't expect you to have a deeper consciousness than Mu Xisha." Li Yuguo smiled and walked in. As soon as he entered, he smelled a musty smell, which made him frown slightly.
Xiaoyu said: "It's not awareness, it's reality... When I started, I was already fifteen years old, and my sister was still a child when she started. She has not experienced many things that a young woman should experience."
"Mother!" shouted, and it turned out that a little baby of two or three years old ran over from a distance and hugged Xiaoyu's leg.
Xiaoyu picked up the child and teased it: "Yes, I'm back."
"Your son?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"No, no, no, I'm just surprised, because you're not very old, and this kid can be your brother, but he is... your son?" Li Hugo said.
Xiaoyu frowned, as if she was aware of something unhappy: "Follow me."
"Oh." Li Yuguo followed obediently, and Xiaoyu waved his hand, and several fireflies suddenly appeared in his sleeves. The light of these fireflies was very dazzling, like a few small light bulbs. You could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary. Firefly, but Xiaoyu's method.
"Before I joined the family, I was a maid of a wealthy family." Xiaoyu's eyes were silent and lifeless. "I was sold to a wealthy family when I was thirteen. The young master at that time was a talented man..."
"Could it be that… "
"Well, because I was the maid of the first wife, but later... the young master married another young lady from a wealthy family under the help of the master. The young master refused to obey, so he took me to the river with him... I never thought that at that time I already had a child. I am pregnant, maybe God is blessing me... I met Master while I was rafting."
"Then your young master..."
"Dead. He happened to pass through a shoal and a few wild dogs took him away. He was not dead at the time, but just unconscious. The real cause of his death was that he was chewed to death by those wild dogs." Xiaoyu said calmly, Without any emotion.
Li Yuguo sighed: "That's really a pity..."
"Later, my master helped me give birth to a child, but I was no longer perfect, so I could only be a saint... and I had no right to inherit the position of leader." Xiaoyu said, "You didn't touch my sister, did you?"
"What do you mean?"
"My sister is one of the heirs of the leader. Although she has temporarily rebelled, she has never done anything to murder the Skeleton Cult. She also helped Wei Dayong successfully escape. Maybe one day she can become a saint again. After becoming a saint, only a woman with a perfect body can succeed the leader." Xiaoyu said.
"I see."
Xiaoyu took Li Yuguo down the steps and headed to the basement: "That Ling Yunxiang lost his position as leader because he was dispossessed, and then he resented my master..."
