Chapter 265: Sacrificial Girl (22)
Chapter 265: Sacrificial Girl (22)
The chief led a group of people back to the village. No one dared to breathe. Even if they were injured, they gritted their teeth and endured the pain.
The clan leader returned to the ancestral hall alone with a gloomy face.
The old woman, who had originally wanted to wait until the ceremony was successful to plead for her son to be exempted from punishment, did not dare to step forward at this moment.
The ancestral hall, with the clan leader leaning on a cane, was dark and empty.
There were no more ancestors waiting for her.
It seemed like she was the only one left.
"I will suppress the remnants of the Lin family underground and never let them stand up again."
"Cough cough cough."
Perhaps because he spoke too loudly and was too angry about all this, the patriarch coughed for a long time before he straightened up.
She looked at her old hands holding the cane and her aging body with cold eyes, and sighed helplessly in her heart!
……
Before one crisis is over, another crisis arises!
The man who was sent into the scorpion cave died tragically and was discovered by villagers who delivered food in the morning.
The old woman who lost two children in succession fainted from crying. After being strangled to wake up, she started wailing again.
"Oh my God! Isn't this going to kill me?"
"Why did you specifically kill my child? He is just my child. What did he do wrong?"
The matter was reported to the clan leader, and after staying in the ancestral hall for a night, she looked much better.
"Don't tell me, who hasn't had someone die in their family?"
"Let's do it according to the old rules!"
"Yes."
The clan leader was not surprised and was in no mood to watch, so he just sent his men away.
It's no big deal to make a fuss about a person's death. Her ancestors' souls are scattered and cannot be liberated.
The man was carried all the way back, and the old woman cried all the way. When everyone was getting ready, she wiped her tears and saw her eldest daughter-in-law again.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he just went up and started fighting without saying a word.
"It's all your fault, you useless bastard!"
"Mother!"
After being pulled away, the daughter-in-law timidly walked up to the old woman and acted cute: "Mom, I know you are suffering, you can beat me and scold me to vent your anger, but my second brother really died unjustly, and I am heartbroken. I wonder if I can help my second brother find a wife, so that he can leave with peace of mind!"
After she said this, many people looked over. The old woman's eyes lit up and she stopped wailing immediately!
After thinking it over carefully, I went out!
The old woman felt that she was the one who suffered the most this time!
The remaining son also died. Who could have a more miserable life than her?
"Chief? Chief! You have to make the decision for me!"
The old woman ran to the patriarch's house and began to wail in pain.
She didn't know that her behavior seemed like a threat to the patriarch, and the patriarch looked at her with cold and ruthless eyes!
"Okay, get up and talk!"
The old woman stood up and said, "Chief, look, my son is gone. How should I live?"
"I might as well just die."
"What? If you want to die, go ahead!"
The old woman choked and paused, thinking that the chief was too indifferent. How come her child still died because of going to the scorpion nest? She still felt a little resentful towards the chief in her heart. She had been afraid before, but now seeing her indifferent look on her face, she felt even more resentful.
"Chief, what do you mean by this? If you don't punish my son, will he die?"
"Now, not only do you not care at all, but you say things like that. You deserve to be childless."
The old woman felt something was wrong as soon as she said it, but looking at the patriarch's expression, she remained angry and did not admit her mistake.
But she didn't know that the clan leader had already decided to kill her.
The old woman was thinking more about making herself sound more and more miserable, so that when the time comes she will have a better chance of winning!
After all, there is still a girl who was brought back and locked up!
After all, his son's death was also related to that girl, so he could just sacrifice her as his son's wife!
After a long while, she said, "Chief, you know very well that my son was a good man and died in a strange way. I am just sad that he died at such a young age. I have no other intentions!"
"I naturally have my own arrangements for this matter. Don't worry, you won't suffer any loss. Although the child is gone, I will consider all your reasonable requests in the village in the future."
Old woman: "Thank you, Chief!"
Her face lit up, and after a moment of hesitation she said directly: "Chief, my son died before he could even marry a wife, how pitiful! Can you allow him to have a ghost marriage with Miss Zhao Lan? Although she's ordinary, it's better than nothing!"
"You came here today just to talk about this, right?"
"Yes, Chief, you also love my daughter. You watched her grow up."
"Don't mention this matter anymore. I still have use for that person! Let's go and take care of your son's affairs. Don't waste your time here!"
The old woman, who was about to say something, was frightened by the tapping sound of the cane and stepped back. The expression on her face changed again and again, and finally she had to leave!
She was feeling depressed, so she didn't want to go back first. Instead, she immediately walked towards the wooden house where Zhao Lan was locked up!
There was only a young man guarding outside. After hearing the old woman's yells, he had no choice but to open the door and let her in!
Zhao Lan still hasn't calmed down after what happened last night, and her eyes are dull and dazed!
She thought about it carefully and realized this morning that Shen Zhaowan had not been brought back!
She was still wondering if she had gotten out. But the villagers said it was impossible. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was impossible. After all, she thought Shen Zhaowan would not know the way out!
Now he hasn't come back, could he have gotten lost in the mountains? If that's the case, there's really no way for him to survive!
Thinking of this, Zhao Lan actually smiled!
She felt that she was actually quite good to be alive now.
Suddenly, she noticed that the door suddenly lit up and was then blocked. Zhao Lan turned her head and found that it was an old woman with obvious fine lines at the corners of her eyes and a red complexion around them. She looked at her with ill intent and her eyes were bloodshot.
Zhao Lan instinctively felt that the person coming was not friendly, so she stood up directly. Unfortunately, she was tied up with ropes, and even though she was prepared, she still couldn't dodge!
" Who are you?"
"It's you, the jinx! It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
The man punched and kicked Zhao Lan directly, and didn't listen to what Zhao Lan said at all.
Zhao Lan wanted to ask for help, but she also wanted to fight back.
Unfortunately, they were hit several times before people outside came in and pulled them apart.
"My son is dead, so you can forget about living a good life." The old woman said this before she was dragged out.
Zhao Lan was the only one in the room with a look of resentment on her face. She didn't even know why she was beaten like this, and she was hit on the face and kicked several times on the body. She was really afraid that she would die.
She lay on the ground with no one to care for her. Suddenly she couldn't help crying, and at the same time her wound was hurt, causing the corners of her mouth to grimaced in pain.
"Do you need help?"
