Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao still thought that the wedding customs in this village were strange, so they waited with the bride, wanting to see when the groom would appear.
At midnight, he suddenly heard a noise outside, but the bride was still sitting there, motionless. If he hadn't seen her walking by herself just now, Qian Jiujiu would have doubted whether she was still alive.
Qian Jiujiu yawned and felt a little sleepy: "Husband, I'm going to sleep for a while, you continue to watch."
Mu Yexiao nodded. Qian Jiujiu was about to go to bed. It was already the middle of the night, so it was normal for her to feel sleepy. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard a noise: "Is the groom finally here?"
Qian Jiujiu woke up instantly from his sleepiness. The two of them stared at the door intently and saw that the person coming in was the old man with white beard who had been shouting just now. He was not the groom at all.
Behind the white-bearded old man were two young men, who were obviously quite excited: "Village Chief, can we take her away?"
It seems that this old man with a white beard is the chief of this mysterious village. The chief nodded and said, "You can take her away. She is unconscious now, so it is the best time to take her away. Hurry up. Tomorrow morning, someone will come to check if she is still there."
A young man couldn't help but mutter, "The mountain god's bride, if this is left here, everyone will be uneasy."
Two young men walked up to the bride, one of them carrying her on his back: "Then village chief, let's go."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. What did the Mountain God's Bride mean? Why didn't they understand
Subconsciously, I followed them and found two people, taking turns carrying the bride, walking on a small path and leaving quickly. I didn't know where they were going. Could it be to see the mountain god
As the sky got brighter, the two men carrying the bride were already far away from the village. They put the bride down and sat on the ground to rest.
"We shouldn't be discovered by the villagers now. We should walk slowly on the road ahead. I'm so tired. I thought it was a good job, but I didn't expect it to be hard labor."
The other rolled his eyes and said, "You are just young, little brother. This trip is really a good job. We just need to send her to the brothel in Xianyou Town and get a lot of money."
"And you can also get in touch with the girls there, which will make you a real man. Our village is so closed, and most people can't go out. This is a rare opportunity."
The man who spoke first rolled his eyes and said, "Why do I need to go to a brothel to become a man? Just look at Tong Ruyan, she's pretty and clean."
Oh, it seems this guy knows everything. The older one quickly said, "Bullshit, you can't touch her, she's going to be sold for a high price. You forgot that the bride of the mountain god has been cultivated by the whole village since she was old enough to understand. She is not for you to waste."
That's true. The young man fell silent. At this moment, a fourth person suddenly appeared here. It was Tong Ruyu who was preparing to secretly return to the village to take a look.
Tong Ruyu saw at a glance that the woman on the ground was this year's bride of the mountain god from her clothes, but why was she here
When they saw Tong Ruyu, the two young men were also stunned. It was the young man who shouted first: "Tong Ruyu, you are not dead?"
Tong Ruyu looked at the young man and said, "Tong Qi, Tong Zheng, why are you two here? And why is the Mountain God's Bride here?"
After calculating the date, Tong Ruyu figured out that yesterday should have been the day when the mountain god married his bride. But he was very surprised, why was the bride here
Tong Qi didn't know what to do for a moment. But Tong Zheng understood instantly and looked at Tong Ruyu: "Tong Ruyu, why didn't you die? And don't tell anyone about this."
Tong Ruyu looked at the person in front of her in confusion, and saw Tong Zheng suddenly untie the veil of the Mountain God's Bride: "Look who this is? You have been away for five years. This is your sister. Your sister has grown up and was chosen as the Mountain God's Bride yesterday."
Tong Ruyu felt a pain in her heart, the mountain god bride turned out to be her sister. The mountain god bride was a custom in Tongjia Village. Every year after the crops were planted, a sacrifice would be held in Tongjia Village.
The name of this sacrifice is the Mountain God's Bride. As the name suggests, a talented woman is selected from the village and given to the Mountain God, hoping that the Mountain God will bless their village with a good harvest and earn more money.
I still remember that five years ago, the girl that Tong Ruyu liked was chosen as the bride of the mountain god. For this reason, Tong Ruyu couldn't bear to let go of the girl he liked, so he thought about eloping with the girl he liked.
They had originally agreed to leave together the night before, but Tong Ruyu did not wait for his beloved girl. Instead, he waited for the village chief and other people in the village.
They said that Tong Ruyu wanted to destroy the harmony of the village and wanted everyone in the village to starve to death, so they attacked Tong Ruyu and even forced him to jump off the mountain.
Everyone thought that Tong Ruyu would die after jumping, but unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to survive. When he thought that his beloved woman had betrayed him and became the bride of the mountain god, Tong Ruyu was extremely sad and vowed never to come back.
But after Master Ye told him, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart still made him come back. But he met his sister on the way, and saw that his sister was in a strange state: "Did you steal her out?"
Tong Zheng admitted it directly, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, you also know that becoming the bride of the mountain god will definitely not be happy. Every girl disappears after becoming the bride of the mountain god. Who knows if she is dead."
Tong Ruyu also nodded in agreement. The custom of the Mountain God's Bride had been passed down in the village since he was very young. Sometimes, when there were not so many girls in the village, there would be more for no apparent reason.
At that time, the village chief said that they were sent by the mountain god, and asked them to learn in the village how to serve the mountain god. Thinking about it now, it was really a lie.
Tong Zheng continued: "Go check on your sister first. I don't think she's in good condition."
Tong Ruyu wanted to say something, but when she heard Tong Zheng's words, she turned around to look, and then everything went dark and she knew nothing.
Tong Qi looked at Tong Zheng: "How did you knock him out?"
Tong Zheng rolled his eyes: "This person is still alive and has discovered our affairs. We must not let her live. We must knock her out first, then kill her directly and continue to take Tong Ruyan away."
This was a direct killing. Tong Qi was too young and was a little scared: "How do we kill him? We don't have any weapons."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao in the dark had heard almost everything and understood in their hearts that a major case had been uncovered and Tong Ruyu could not die at this time.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu frowned: "Should we show up? Or should we just arrest these two people and interrogate them?"
There must be a lot of things going on here. Mu Yexiao also felt that these two were just small fry. It seemed useless to catch them, so it would be better to let them go out smoothly to meet up.
But Tong Ruyu still had to be saved, but how? Tong Qi was digging a hole at this time: "Are we really going to bury him alive? Isn't it better to just push him down?"
Oh my! Qian Jiujiu’s eyes widened. These two people actually wanted to bury people alive. She didn’t know how they came up with this idea.
Tong Zheng was somewhat speechless: "This guy is lucky. He also fell off a cliff last time and survived. Maybe he is destined not to fall to death. We should just bury him."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. Actually, if they broke the neck, it would be faster. Fortunately, these two idiots didn't think of it, otherwise, it would be really difficult for them to save people.
After waiting for the two men to dig a pit and throw the people in, Qian Jiujiu directly took Tong Ruyu into the space, kept him unconscious, and then continued to set off with Tong Qi and the others.
Soon they saw a familiar scene, it was Xianyou Town. They watched the two people enter Hualou unimpeded and hand Tong Ruyan over to Hualou's mother, who was very happy.
"Don't worry, one per year. We have been working together for such a long time. Don't worry."
Then he took out 20,000 taels of silver notes and gave them to the two men: "Do you want to find two girls?"
Tong Zheng thought about what happened this time, and suddenly he ran out of ideas. He waved his hand and said, "No need. We'll come back next year. I'm going back first."
Mother Hua was still a little surprised. These two people were different from the previous ones. They were so self-disciplined.
After the two left, Mother Hua checked Tong Ruyan's body from head to toe, then nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, this one is better than the previous ones. Just wait until you wake up tomorrow, little girl, starting tomorrow, you can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. After Hua Mama left, Qian Jiujiu appeared and felt Tong Ruyan's pulse. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "So that's how it is."
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu in confusion: "What's going on with her?"
Qian Jiujiu curled his lips: "This is a medicine man."
Mu Yexiao became more and more confused: "Who is the medicine man?"
Qian Jiujiu sighed: "In this world, there is a cruel method, which is to refine people into medicine men like refining medicine. After the practice, as long as you have intimate behavior with this medicine man, you can absorb the medicinal properties and make your body healthier."
"But the life of a medicine man is generally not very long. After a medicine man who has been soaking for several years stops soaking, he can only live for a few more years."
Mu Yexiao's eyes widened. Is there such an evil method in this world
