For others, it's just an ordinary night, as usual, sleep until dawn.
But for Suzuran, she seemed to have fallen into hell.
No matter how she cried, the group refused to let her go. After a long time, the group finally stopped. Just when she thought she was about to be free, the person who was injured by her with a scythe suddenly picked it up. After removing the sickle that fell on the ground, he gestured in his hand.
"Do you want to play something else?" The man took the sickle and made a slash on Lily of the valley's face.
The men who had been crazy all night heard his proposal, but became even more excited, and one by one directly agreed without hesitation.
"Sure! Anyway, she is going to be sacrificed to the Lord of Water. It's better to let us play. Anyway, the village chief said, as long as we promise to be alive after dawn." One of the men rubbed his hands and showed his face. Smirk.
Suzuran seemed to be aware of something, she violently supported the bed with her remaining strength to stand up, and she wanted to run with her legs away.
But after last night, she didn't have the slightest strength on her body, and the teeth marks on her body were constantly bleeding, making her unable to lift the slightest strength.
Lily of the valley who stood up was soon kicked to the ground by them. They even took out her unfinished red thread from her embroidery basket and tied her limbs to the four sides of the bed, unable to move.
The big man who proposed to play first took the sickle and walked to Suzuran's side, and then struck her for the first time with a frightened expression on her face.
The screams in the room rang all night, and finally stopped when dawn approached.
It was because the group of people were afraid that she would really kill her, so they took their hands away.
Li Han proudly picked up the skin he had peeled off with a sickle, "Seeing if I have peeled it, it looks better than what you peeled. This skin looks like it is alive." As he said, he stretched out his hand. Go touch it.
Others saw the large intact piece of skin in his hand and were not convinced. One of them snatched the sickle in Li Han's hand. It seemed that they wanted to peel a larger, more complete and beautiful piece of skin off her. .
Li Han snatched the sickle that had been taken back, and cursed a few words, "You're crazy, look at her like a dead dog, can you still start, you think of being scolded by the village chief."
After saying this, Li Han saw that the sky outside gradually brightened, waved to the others around him, and said, "Go and put on that girl's clothes, and I will carry her to Lord Shui later. , Can’t be seen what we do.”
The others responded and wrapped the clothes they had torn off.
But the clothes were too thin, and the skin on his body had been peeled off by them. The blood on that body instantly dyed the clothes red.
Seeing this, Li Han added, "Wear her two more clothes, preferably clothes that can cover the blood."
Everyone thought for a while, and finally put on her a red dress with broken flowers by the bed of Lily of the valley.
Lily of the valley is like a puppet, moving with their movements, even if one of them didn't pay attention to the wound on her body when they were doing it, she didn't move.
But when she saw the dress in a daze, her body couldn't help but shrink.
That is the fabric she deliberately saved. She wants to make a new dress for Sister Hua'er, so she can't be soiled by herself.
But her shrinking body was regarded as uncooperative by others, and the few people who had a bad temper immediately gave her a slap in the face.
He scolded and said what he was dissatisfied with, "At first, I said that it was for Xiaohua to sacrifice to Lord Water. At that time, I was a little excited, but I didn't expect that the old man would insist on it and replace it with this girl. It’s a disappointment, and I still don’t think honestly."
The man took a sip on the ground, and then warned Suzuran, "You better be obedient now, otherwise you are the one who suffers."
When Suzuran heard the words she said at the beginning, she still didn't believe it, but thought of the way Grandpa San looked at her at the time, and made it clear that he had known about it a long time ago, and that she would become like this, completely for the flower. Sister suffered.
At this moment, the seeds of resentment were planted in her heart.
Li Han waved his hand impatiently at them and urged, "Hurry up, it will be time later."
When offering sacrifices to the Lord of Water, it must be when the sky is just getting pale, preferably when there is fog.
Because it is said that Lord Water does not like the way people see it, it will only appear during this time period. If you want to worship Lord Water, it is best not to miss the time.
After being urged, the people wearing the clothes speeded up, and finally reluctantly put them on. The blood that bleeds can't be seen clearly, but the clothes look crooked and not quite right. Look like.
Li Han didn't care about this, and asked them to drag people into the pig cage outside.
Suzuran couldn't help shaking when she saw the pig cage not far away.
When the person who dragged her over saw it, his mouth began to curse again, "Anyway, you won't be able to live like this anymore, and you are thinking of other things."
Everyone stuffed the lily of the valley into the pig cage at will, and then two or three people stood in their respective positions very skillfully, picking up the bamboo poles and leaving.
The person behind suddenly said, "Then how to deal with these things?"
He was referring to the skins on the ground that were peeled off by them and thrown on the ground at will.
Li Han took a look and said, "Don't worry about that, her parents will take care of it then."
When she heard the word father and mother, Ling Lan, who had been unable to move, opened her eyes wide and stared at the closed door next to her, as if she was waiting for the final redemption.
But until she was carried to the edge of the pond, none of her good parents and her younger brother came out to rescue her, even if she didn't even look at her.
She hates it.
Because he wanted to sacrifice to the Lord of Water, the village chief called people from house to door in advance. When the lily of the valley was carried to the edge of the pond, there were already a lot of people around, and it seemed that they were waiting for the Lord of Water.
She saw the third grandfather who she had always treated as her own grandfather.
He came too.
Standing not far away, the fog was heavy and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Suzuran wanted to ask him aloud why he did this, but her throat couldn't make any noise anymore.
She also saw Sister Hua'er among the group of people.
But Sister Hua'er was talking to the green plum next door, and the two of them didn't know what they said. They were pointing at Lily of the valley and laughing while covering their mouths.
Lily of the valley's heart became cold, and even her whole body seemed to be immersed in cold water.
Among the people in the circle, they all looked at her relatives, neighbors and friends growing up.
No one of them stepped forward to stop her, no one said a word for her, and even waited for the sacrifice of Lord Water with a look of expectation.
At this moment, Suzuran finally understood that these people's hearts were cold, and no matter how they covered them, they would still not be hot.
