I don't know when I got into trouble with him again, and this bad face seemed to be something I owe him.

"Bai Jiuyan, the river god is not him, where is the real river god?"

Bai Jiuyan gritted his teeth and recited my name: "Hu Ningshe!"

The temperature in the sky is dropping too fast.

I held my shoulders with my hands and rubbed them back and forth: "Bai Jiuyan, what's wrong with me?"

"You haven't seen me like that. Shouldn't you care about where I went and what I did? Ask me if I'm injured?"

"Ah... you don't look like you're hurt," I said depressedly, "Ah, my grandma is awake. Grandma!"

I ran over and hugged my grandmother who had just woken up. A sigh came from behind, and I automatically ignored it.

"She She, grandma, what's wrong?"

I hugged my grandma tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the next second. "Grandma, where have you been? You are almost scaring me to death."

"She She, as long as you're fine." Grandma didn't seem to be planning to talk about what happened that day, she stood up slowly. I always felt that she was much older.

Tears burst out again, and I turned my head and wiped it away quietly with my hands. The most afraid that my grandmother was worried about me. She was the most precious person in the world, more important than my life, and the person I wanted to protect.

My grandmother and I went home together, and Bai Jiuyan disappeared again. I really hope that the person who saved me just now was Bai Ke, but as time went by, my strange feeling about Bai Ke was about to dissipate with the wind.

Bai Ke, did you hear it?

If you don't show up again, I'll almost forget you.

"Grandma! I think I have to leave the village." I suddenly said while eating egg custard today.

Grandma didn't react for a while, and later she said, "Okay, the village is really not suitable for you."

"No, grandma. If possible, I want to live in the village all the time, but the people in the village are unwilling to spare me. So many years have passed. They still regard me as the disaster star. They want me to sacrifice to the river and have even chosen the days."

Grandma was so angry: "Oh! I was killed by a thousand swords. Did this happen when I was not here? I was so sad that I was old. Grandma can't protect you."

"Grandma, don't say that, it's me who implicated grandma." I put down the bowl in my hand and hugged grandma.

Just as we were in love, there were crowds of people outside the door, and then there was a violent knock on the door.

"Who is it so late."

"Open the door! We see your smoke."

It's three o'clock in the morning, and the villagers actually came to my house at this time.

Grandma told me not to speak in the room, so she opened the door and walked out.

I wanted to call my grandma, but my grandma said she had a way.

I carefully lay at the door and looked out through the crack of the door.

The villagers rushed into my yard with rude rudeness. Some people were holding shovels, some people were holding hoes, and some were holding torches. The group was in a vast and seemed to be going to sweep.

"Old Mrs. Hu! If you hand over that girl today, there will be nothing you have to do here. You don't have to worry that no one will give you a care for you in the future. Everyone in our village will remember your kindness in your heart. But if you are ungrateful, don't worry about our relationship with the village for so many years."

Grandma's voice was very small, and I couldn't see what she was saying. She could only see her thin body, hunched over and a small world where I was hiding.

"The 18th birthday is not possible!"

"I think it makes sense."

"What if she ran away?"

...

The people in the village began to discuss it hotly. I thought my grandma must have talked about my birthday and bought me time to escape.

However, I didn't think I should run away this time.

To be precise, if my grandma left the village with me, I would turn around and leave without taking back; but my grandma is in her seventies and I dare not take the risk of that terrible curse. I wouldn’t leave, so I wouldn’t leave either.

Just when my grandma resisted the villagers alone, I suddenly decided that I would fight against the villagers.

I won't leave.

Jiwotou asked again: "What should I do if she ran away?"

I opened the door and blocked my grandma.

Grandma hurriedly pulled me to the side: "Sheshe, why did you run out? Go back to the house, the adults talk, there is no child."

"No, this time I will face it with my grandma." I glared at those people: "I will not leave Hujia Village, nor will I mention you to sacrifice to the river. I! Hu Ningshe! My life can only be controlled by myself."

"Hahaha."

The villagers laughed, they would not take my words to heart, they treated me as a child.

The village chief, who said without saying a word, said, "I think it's OK after my 18th birthday."

"Captain, how can you agree?"

"Yes, she will have a long time to celebrate her birthday. If she runs away... my Cuihua has already made a date with a baby."

"My Ping'er is not good either. She is not a perfect jade. Sacrifice to the river will make the river god angry..."

The girl with two big braids blushed: "Mom, you are talking nonsense! I am!"

The woman slapped the girl in the face: "If we are not, there is nothing to be ashamed of."

...

I looked at their poor acting skills in front of me and smiled and said: It's so ironic. In order to avoid sacrifice to the river, they said one ridiculous reason after another and kept protecting their own family. How selfish. When basins of dirty water were pouring on me, they were so natural, so ignoring their shame...

"Okay, okay, stop acting." I said, "My grandma is in the village. This time... I will never leave her no matter what."

When I said this, everyone's eyes lit up, as if they had caught my handle.

"Yes, Hu Ningshe, if you dare to escape, your grandmother will be left alone in our village. Especially you know, there is no light in this village at night, and it is possible that the old man will slid into the ditch."

I threatened me? I, Hu Ning, would not take this trick.

"Haha..." I met the man's eyes: "Then let me tell you, you'd better take good care of my grandma. If my grandma is thorny, I will definitely make this Hujia Village uneasy. Don't forget that I have something on my body, such as... a skinned person... and for example, a person who is bleeding from the seven orifices..."

Didn’t they press all those things on my head? It doesn’t matter whether I admit it or not.

"Hu Ningshe, you are not a human!"

I smiled and said, "If I am a human, you must like to bully me more, right? Remember, I am not a human, be polite to me in the future! Now, get out of here."

"See how long you can be arrogant!"

"Hahaha...get out, while I don't want to do it. Let me remind you that Cuihua fell asleep inexplicably while making soup today. Whoever guarded me fell asleep unknowingly... If you don't leave, maybe..."

When I said this, the village chief came out to be a peacemaker again: "Okay, I have to go to the fields tomorrow, and everyone will go back to their own houses."
