A group of people came in through the door, led by two rickety figures, the old man and the old woman, the owners of the house.
"Move gently, these two children haven't taken any medicine, I'm afraid it will wake them up..." The old man reminded in an old and weak voice while coughing.
"I know, I know, I didn't expect you to have two children in your family." A lowered voice said with some excitement.
The old man showed a hesitant expression and timidly reminded: "Didn't you say that only one is enough?"
"What? If you only need one, how about your big tiger to make up for the other one?" the voice said impatiently.
The old woman suppressed her fear and argued: "But...but doesn't it mean that as long as we get a child to replace Dahu, Dahu won't have to go?"
"We finally have two, how can we let go of one?" the voice said angrily, "Are you the village chief, or am I the village chief?"
"Grandma, please stop saying a few words." A young man's voice said, "I saw that your son and daughter-in-law were dead, and I felt sorry for you, so I said there was only one big tiger."
"Yes, the Djinn said he wanted a boy and a girl. He thought your family was pitiful, so he said that as long as you produce a boy, we will help you make up for the girl." Other villagers agreed.
The old woman looked a little pitiful in these voices. She licked her lips a few times, but she couldn't say anything and huddled next to her husband.
"Good boy, don't blame me..." the two old men muttered while wiping away tears, "our family only has a single seedling of the big tiger..."
"Why are you crying?" The village chief sighed, obviously feeling guilty about what he was about to do, and consoled him, "These two children are going to be fairy boys and serve the djinn, and they can live a good life."
After saying that, he called on everyone to take action and take the two children out of the house.
But none of these people knew that none of the people lying on the kang was asleep.
Ye Taotao and Bai Chiling pretended to be asleep and were carefully carried out by several adults. Bai Xin, Xiao Yan and the bride and groom opened their eyes and followed these people out.
The adults loaded the two children into a simple ox cart. The ox pulling the cart was tied with big red flowers, and the cart was also decorated with some red ribbons. It looked as festive as a festival.
Everyone in the village seemed to have gathered at this time. Holding lanterns in their hands, they drove the ox cart all the way to the end of the village, where a newly built ancestral hall stood.
This ancestral hall is not big, and there was a rush of work when it was built, so it looks quite rough. The altar is not a statue of a god, but a burning lamp. What is placed in front of him is not a tribute of fruits and melons, but a number of writings.
I got my own red paper note.
After driving the ox cart to the ancestral hall, the adults carefully took down the two children, Ye Taotao and Bai Chiling, from the cart and placed them in front of the altar in the ancestral hall.
"Your Majesty, the genie of the lantern, I present a boy and a girl today..." The village chief led the crowd to kneel and kowtow under the lamp on the altar, muttering the sacrificial words in a low voice, with an extremely respectful expression.
After finishing reading Lao Chang's words, he left with the villagers without staying any longer.
Ye Taotao, who was in the ancestral hall, heard the distant noise outside, and then slowly opened his eyes and looked curiously at the lamp on the altar.
"Is this the djinn?"
Bai Chiling also opened his eyes. After seeing the lamp again, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise: "This is my lamp!"
"What's your lamp?" A grumpy voice came from the lamp, "I'm not your lamp!"
Immediately afterwards, a translucent shadow floated out from the lamp.
The phantom is also the image of a child, wearing golden clothes, with golden-red hair floating like fire against gravity. His eyes are also golden, and at the moment he is puffing out his white and tender cheeks, staring with an unhappy look on his face.
See Bai Chiling.
"I know you are here to find me, but I won't go with you. I am the djinn here and I want to stay here!" the djinn said angrily.
The Wedding Lady also practiced Shinto, and her cultivation was far better than that of the Djinn God. Therefore, the moment the Wedding Lady appeared in the village, the Deng God had already felt his presence.
The ubiquitous lanterns in the village were his eyes. He saw that the two children in front of him came with the wedding lady. He didn't want to offend the wedding lady, so he would not embarrass them, but he would not talk to them either.
Walk.
In order to create this kind of incense in the village, he had put in a lot of effort. If he followed them, wouldn't it be in vain?
Ye Taotao stared at the lamp on the altar and said thoughtfully: "Why do you want them to sacrifice boys and girls to you? Do you...cannibalize people?"
When the Djinn God heard this, he immediately became furious: "Eating people? I don't know how to eat people! Gods who eat people will not produce good results in their cultivation!"
At this time, Bai Xin and others who followed also walked into the ancestral hall.
Several people saw the djinn floating in front of Ye Taotao at a glance. Without thinking, they immediately rushed forward. When the little monster hugged her tightly, they carefully inspected her whole body.
"Is Taotao okay?" Bai Xin asked nervously.
Ye Taotao shook her head obediently, "It's okay, dad doesn't have to worry about me."
Bai Chiling on the side was completely ignored.
"What's going on with this lamp? Why are boys and girls used to worship it?" Xiao Yan looked at the lamp god with doubts in his eyes, "You keep saying that you don't know how to eat people, but you want people to be eaten.
The tribute is really suspicious!"
There was a bit of embarrassment on the face of the genie, and he pursed his lips: "I...I..."
"I'm lonely. I want to find two people to play with me!" Finally, he shouted this sentence with red cheeks and angrily.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
The genie pursed his lips and said unhappily: "I don't know why. When they heard that they were going to send someone to play with me, they all cried and said they were unwilling to do anything."
Everyone: "..."
The genie murmured in a low voice: "I haven't lived long since I was born. I'm so young, so what if I want to find the same children to play with me?"
Everyone turned their attention to the wedding lady. She had the highest level of Shinto cultivation and should be able to see through the djinn in front of her who also practiced Shinto.
The bride-groomed lady shook her head slightly and said in a low voice: "He really doesn't smell like a human being."
