I stopped and my breath froze, "Sacrifice? What sacrifice?"

The silly son shook the dead chicken in his hand and danced and sang in front of my eyes: "On February 2, God raises his head, a pretty bride with a red hijab, wears new clothes, gets on the sedan chair, plays the suona, goes to get married, who to marry, to marry

God of the Moon Mountain! Hey hey, the mountain god wants to get a wife again!"

Mountain God? If I remember correctly, this place is still under the jurisdiction of Bai Hu.

The white tiger is the mountain god.

Is he getting a wife?

A ray of blue light flew out from the bone chain around my neck, fell behind me, transformed into a human form, and walked to my side.

"The hills here belong to the Baiyu Pipe, and the water flow belongs to the small wind pipe. I have not received the news that Baiyu is getting married."

I bit my lip and thought about it, then shook my head, "No, I have heard this song sung by children in the same village before, but I have only heard it twice since I was a child. Later I asked my mother-in-law, and she said that it has been passed down from ancient times.

The old songs that came down are forbidden songs. Next time I hear them, I will tell her who sang them and she will deal with those people."

"I have been in charge of this place for thousands of years, and I have never heard of the mountain god getting married."

"Perhaps, he overheard someone singing this song secretly, so he learned it and sang it for fun. When he was a child, he had a fever and burned out his brain. He is a fool. He actually doesn't understand anything... A fool says some weird things, which is very strange.

normal."

Xuan Ye looked at me deeply and hesitated to speak.

"Fool Li, what are you talking about?" Bai Yueyue appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the fool's arm and dragged him away: "Let's go! Go home, go home!"

The fool threw the chicken away unhappily, pouting and resisting: "I won't go, I won't go! I want to play with sister Ranran!"

Bai Yueyue kicked the fool's leg in annoyance, and yelled at the fool fiercely: "Play with me, play with your mother! Go! If you don't leave, I will ask my mother-in-law to come and kill you! I will fill you in the manure pit and let you

Go eat shit!”

The fool was frightened by Bai Yueyue, and instantly showed a fearful expression. He waved his hands repeatedly and yelled: "Don't throw Doudou into the manure pit! Doudou is afraid! Yueyue, you are so cruel. You are so beautiful, why are you so cruel?"

You are so vicious, you should marry the mountain god as your bride!"

"Get out!" Bai Yueyue was completely offended. She grabbed the fool's ears and roughly dragged him away. She cursed fiercely: "You learn everything all day long. Do you want to die? Stop talking nonsense!"

Sew your mouth shut with a needle!"

The fool was afraid that she might actually sew his mouth with a needle, so he trembled and covered half of his face, and never dared to speak nonsense again.

When Bai Yueyue walked past us carrying the fool, she paid careful attention to Xuan Ye beside me...

She has a thumb ring given to her by her mother-in-law and can see Xuan Ye.

However, there was no announcement.

After the fool was taken away by Bai Yueyue, I held Xuan Ye's hand and continued to walk forward.

"Axuan, I don't know why, but ever since I left Licheng, I've always had an ominous premonition in my heart."

"Don't be afraid." He rubbed my palm with his thumb and gently comforted me: "As long as I am here, nothing will happen."

"Yeah." Even though that's what he said, I still felt uneasy and couldn't feel at ease at all.

You know, even when I was kidnapped by Xie Jianan, the bad premonition I felt beforehand was not as strong as the present one...

I hope it’s just me worrying too much!

When I entered the earthen house where I once lived, I was about to clean it up, but Xuan Ye waved his sleeves and directly used magic to clean up the room for me, saving me a huge time-consuming and labor-intensive trouble.

I was already tired after two days of riding in the car. Now that the room was clean, I got lazy and sat down on the wooden bed covered with clean bedding. I fell back and started to spread it out.

Xuan Ye has been hiding in the bone chain around my neck for the past two days to recuperate. I am very tired now, but he is better. He is energetic after he comes out.

He picked up the small rattle placed on the child's crib and shook it. The sound of the drum was very pleasant. He held up the rattle in a novel way and asked me, "Is this something Madam used to play when she was a child?"

I propped up my body and took a casual look, "Yes! This is the rattle I have played with since I was a child, and the paint on it is almost peeled off by me. The little bed next to you is also mine, but to be precise, this one

All the children’s toys in the whole house were given to me by my mother-in-law.”

He raised his finger to the tiger-headed bell on the small bed, and his eyes showed extremely tender affection, "Did Madam live in this house when she was a child?"

The bright moonlight rising in the east poured in through the wooden lattice window, and fell mottledly on the child's dilapidated crib in front of the bed.

Half of his figure was coated with a layer of cool silver light by the moon outside the window, and his wide sleeves swayed gently in the evening breeze. Looking from a distance, he looked as beautiful as a painting.

I changed my position and lay on my side on the bed, looking at his silhouette, I felt at ease: "No, I lived in the front room with my mother-in-law before I was seven years old. At that time, I slept in the same room as Bai Yueyue, and we

A family of three are crowded into one place.

Later, when she grew up, Bai Yueyue hated me more and more, and she didn't want me to sleep on her bed all the time and live in the same room with her.

We always started fighting as soon as we met. Sometimes, I would sleep until midnight and I would be suddenly woken up by Bai Yueyue biting me or strangling my neck. As long as I resisted even a little bit, we would start fighting in the early morning.

Daybreak.

The most outrageous time was when she picked up a wooden stool and smashed it on my head while I was sleeping. I was immediately knocked unconscious by her wooden stool, and my head was bleeding...until my mother-in-law called us to get up in the early morning.

When I went to school, I discovered that the mattress was covered in my blood.

I almost died from excessive blood loss.

My mother-in-law sent me to the village health center for stitches and bandages, and I was given intravenous injections for a week before she brought me back to recuperate. Maybe my mother-in-law realized that we were incompatible and destined to never live in harmony, so she decided to sleep in the same room.

Something would definitely happen again, so they packed up this old house for me to sleep in."

After hearing this, Qing Leng Zun Shen under the bright moon sighed, "Seven years old, still so young...are you afraid?"

I pursed my lips, feeling quite uncomfortable in my heart: "I'm scared, I'm scared to death. But I am an adopted orphan of unknown origin. I can eat three meals a day and have a sheltered home.

It’s time to be content. Who do you have to be picky and fearful?”

"Xiaoran..." He held the rattle and coaxed in a distressed tone: "Tell me again about your childhood, I want to hear it."

I pouted: "Old memories, trivial things all over the place, there is nothing interesting to hear."

He turned the rattle in his hand, and the sound was very soft and pleasant: "There should be someone to talk to about the grievances that have been pressing in my heart for many years... Xiao Ran, I want to know how you lived during those years when I was absent.

How about."

I turned over and lay flat on the bed. There was no light in the room, but I still covered my eyes with my arms to prevent myself from crying.

"If possible, I would never come back here again in my life.

Xuan, I don't understand why a sister must protect her. Even if I robbed my sister of her food rations when I was a child and caused her to almost starve to death, I should have paid off my repeated forbearance in those years.

When I was in front of my mother-in-law's bed, I wanted to ask her several times why she exchanged my life for my sister's life and why she gave me to Empress Zhusheng. But at the end of the day, I still couldn't ask the question.

Because I know in my heart that even if I ask, my mother-in-law will not tell me the real answer...

Bai Yueyue has been loved by her mother-in-law since she was a child. Every time she celebrates festivals, she has a lot of delicious and fun things, but I don’t have anything. I can only play with her bad things and eat things she doesn’t like.

There are many times when I feel that I am worse than a dog in our house... At least dogs don’t have to depend on people’s faces as to what food they eat at every meal.”

I blinked my wet eyes and sighed: "But thinking about it, I was originally an orphan with no blood relationship with them. My life was picked up by my mother-in-law... In this life, I owe

It's hers, but she doesn't owe me anything, and she has no obligation to be nice to me even if she has no relationship.

Whenever I was wronged when I was a child, I would tell myself silently in my heart that my mother-in-law provided me with food, drink, education, and a living. I should listen to her and regard it as repaying my kindness.

Perhaps because of my living environment, I learned from a very young age to force myself to magnify the good things others do to me and ignore the unfairness and bad things others do to me.

But, despite this...sometimes there are things that I felt calm and calm when I experienced them. I thought I didn't care, but many years later, I would still recall them at a coincidental point in time, and it would feel like a thorn.

It hurts my heart.

It didn't hurt very much, but I couldn't forget the feeling of discomfort. Then I realized that the thorn had always been stuck in my heart. But when I forgot, I ignored the pain. When I thought about it again, it suddenly felt like a pain.

Noticed.”

"Silly girl." He put his fingers on the crib and slowly rocked the crib: "My wife, she has been so sensible and heart-warming since she was a child."

"After I met my parents, I often thought, if I hadn't been stolen, would my life be as peaceful and stable as an ordinary person's? Would I be able to be as unscrupulous as Bai Yueyue?

Hiding in the arms of relatives and acting coquettishly, you can have whatever you want...

Can I just be the one who bullies others, instead of being bullied by others?"

"The bully...isn't Madam." He walked over against the light. The sky was getting heavier and darker, and I couldn't see his facial expression clearly. "It seems that Madam's childhood experience is the same as mine.

, much the same.”

When he sat next to my bed, I took the initiative to turn over and lie on his lap, put my arms around his waist, and buried my head in his robe, "When you were a child, did you also have an elder who was partial to you?"

"Perhaps, it cannot be called partiality." He gently stroked my head and said calmly: "My father and mother are the only children of my father and mother. But my father and my mother have a bad relationship. In order to ensure the stability of the Guixu regime, my father married

The eldest princess of the Penglaizhou Dragon Clan.

They were a divine marriage. Before getting married, neither of them had seen each other in person, so they didn't know how good the other was. At that time, my father already had a sweetheart, a clam spirit.

That clam spirit is a loyal woman. When she fell in love with my father, she confessed that she would never be a concubine in her life. Unless my father was a man of great glory, carrying a palanquin at the age of sixteen, and went to marry her with the ceremony of marrying the Dragon Queen, otherwise she

I would rather never marry my father in my life.

In order to temporarily stabilize his sweetheart, my father pretended to agree, and made an eternal oath with the clam to the other side of the abyss, promising that he would be married to two people for the rest of his life.

However, later on, my father went against his promise and married my mother behind her back.

As soon as my mother got married into the shrine, he couldn't wait to carry the palanquin with the rites of the Dragon Queen to marry the clam spirit. He used the ceremonial guard of the dragon queen of the main wife, but the one he gave to his concubine, the dragon concubine.
