I am a snake, so it is reasonable for me to teach a group of demons.

At the entrance of Changliu Village, the girl was tied to a cross-shaped stake with a hemp rope.

Around the stake, the firewood contributed by each household was piled up like a mountain.

The firewood that should have been used to boil water was used to burn people.

The girl lowered her head, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall. No one could see her face clearly, and no one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

"Burn the drought lady to death and release the river god!"

"This damn girl, why does she want to eat the river god when there are so many other things to eat? She is so greedy"

"You can't blame her. Who knew that the river god would be a loach? Wang Ye said, that day many children in our village went into the mud, there were so many river shrimps and loaches, but the river god was touched by the rain boy."

"In the final analysis, this little girl was harmed by Yu Wazi."

"Bullshit, there must be a destiny in the dark. If this little bitch wasn't the reincarnation of the drought demon girl, how could the river god be so clever as to be eaten by her?"

"The Cui River that had flowed for hundreds of years dried up, the old well that had nurtured more than a dozen generations of people dried up, and most of the corn seedlings in the fields were sunburned to death. It was all because of this little bitch."

"Compared to last year, this year's corn production has dropped by at least 70%, all thanks to this little bitch"

"My sheep have no water to drink, and several of them have died of thirst. It is a good thing for them to be burned to death, otherwise I would have drained their blood drop by drop, peeled off their flesh piece by piece, and broken their bones inch by inch."

"What sins did Canglan and Qu Yiqing commit in their previous lives that they actually accepted this disaster star as their goddaughter, which brought great harm to our Changliu Village."

"I will use this little bitch's ashes as fertilizer and spread them all over my Li family land."

"I also want"

……

The girl raised her head slightly.

She couldn't see the villagers clearly.

The light was too bright.

"What crime have I committed?!" the girl murmured, unable to figure out.

"" The sun rises in the east.

I give you a magic talisman to sweep away all the bad things."

The middle-aged Taoist priest in a yin-yang robe, holding a peach wood sword in one hand and a yellow paper talisman in the other, chanted something and performed a sword dance for the girl and the villagers.

"The fire of the mountains comes out of his mouth, and the light of the flying gate is captured by the talisman."

"Subdue demons and monsters, and turn the dead into auspiciousness.

Taishang Laojun, hurry up and obey the command"

""Seal!"

The Taoist priest waved his sleeves in a low voice.

The yellow paper talisman flew through the air like a blade, and with a snap, it stuck firmly to the girl's chest.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, shocking everyone.

"Taoist priest!"

Li Minyin was quick to support the Taoist priest who was about to fall.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."

The Taoist priest, whose face was as pale as paper, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said weakly,"The three souls and seven spirits of the drought girl have been fixed in her heart by my immortal talisman. We can start now."

"The Taoist priest's magic is unpredictable. I admire him."

"Taoist priest, thank you for your hard work. Please come to my humble abode for dinner later."The villagers were talking to each other, flattering the Taoist priest so much that their mouths were almost grinning from ear to ear, which made Wang Ye envious.

‘The Taoist priest is so amazing. He can spit blood just by saying so. How did he do that?

Li Minyin lit a torch and came to the firewood pile.

He looked at the girl's face, which was scorched by the sun.

He looked at her patched and worn linen clothes.

And her little feet, which seemed to have been soaked in the loess.

The man's throat moved and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

His throat was burning, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of magma.

""Let me do it~"

Old Wang took two steps forward.

Li Minyin hurriedly handed over the torch and hurriedly merged into the crowd.

Li Shishi cursed in a low voice,"Cowardly as a mouse."

Old Wang's ears were not deaf.

He slowly turned around, looking at Li Shishi, and stretched out his dry hand holding the torch.

"You are brave, why don't you come?"

Li Shi's face turned pale, and she lowered her head hurriedly. Not to mention speaking, she didn't even have the courage to look Old Wang in the eye.

……

Under the gaze of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, some cold, some gloomy, some full of smiles,

Old Wang stared at the girl's pair of clear peach blossom eyes with distinct black and white.

"Girl, do you have any last words?"

Old Wang asked

"Grandpa Wang, Xiaoyu is still sleeping under the shade of the tree at the edge of the field."

"Please wake him up later."

"If he asks where your sister is, just say I ran away."

"I couldn't stand the hardship of learning to sing opera, cooking every day, and carrying water to irrigate the seedlings every day, so I ran away."

Old Wang nodded,"Okay."

The girl pondered for a while and continued,"Grandpa Wang, my family has seven plots of land. If possible, please irrigate at least one plot."

"A piece of land can barely support my stepfather, stepmother, and Xiaoyu until next year."

Old Wang's skinny hand holding the torch was wet.

"Okay, Grandpa promises you."

The peach blossom eyes suddenly sparkled with sparkling

"Grandpa Wang, I don't know when my adoptive parents will be back."

"Xiaoyu was too young, only four years old, and couldn't reach the stove even if he stood on a stool"

"Xiaoyu likes to kick the quilt when she sleeps"

"Also, Xiaoyu likes to eat egg custard the most, and there are still a lot of eggs left from the eggs bought by her stepmother."

"Animals become irritable due to lack of water. Don't let Xiaoyu go up the mountain."

"There are also Wangcai and Laifu"

"Grandpa Wang, you must take good care of Xiaoyu!"

The torch trembled slightly, and Old Wang whispered:"Girl, don't worry, Grandpa will definitely hand over Xiaoyu to your adoptive parents in good condition."

"grandfather"

"here I am"

"Did I... make any mistakes?"

Seeing the serious look on the girl's face, Lao Wang said with a trembling heart:"No, child, you didn't make any mistakes at all."

The girl smiled lightly,"That's good, it's good that I didn't make any mistakes, otherwise even if I died, my stepmother would curse me."

""Hu~" he exhaled a long breath, and then he trembled and pushed the torch against the hay.

"Burn you to death, you little bitch!"

Li Shi said with a fierce smile.

Just as the torch was about to ignite the hay, a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting on a small bench under the shade of the tree suddenly raised a subtle smile.���

The sound of the firewood breaking through the air suddenly stopped.

Old Wang suddenly screamed in pain and threw away the torch.

The villagers were shocked at first, and then they looked intently.

In front of the firewood pile, there was a stone.

""Hey!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.

On the ancient road a dozen feet away, stood a boy of about eleven or twelve years old, not much older than Li Shan, the child king of Changliu Village.

The boy was wearing a coarse linen shirt, a pair of tattered straw sandals on his feet, and an iron sword on his back.

In front of everyone, the boy took off the iron sword.

With a clang, he drew the sword out of the sheath.

Then he walked to a willow tree by the side of the road.

He held the sword in one hand and chopped it down diagonally.

The iron sword was sheathed.

The boy walked towards the crowd.

Behind him, the willow tree trunk, which was about the thickness of an adult's thigh, slowly fell.

With a bang, the dust flew up.

""Gulp~"

Swallowing sounds came one after another.

No one dared to look down on the boy.

At the head of the village, the boy stood still, first looking at the girl tied to the stake, then his bright eyes swept over the villagers, and finally set his eyes on the Taoist priest.

"My name is Cheng Hu, which means tiger.

The boy was full of killing intent and did not hide it at all.

With a thud, the Taoist priest knelt on his knees.

"Young man, please don't kill me. I haven't received the 120 taels of snowflake silver yet."

"Poor Taoist priest, I didn't even take the deposit."

Seeing the boy's hand on the hilt of the sword, the Taoist priest quickly pointed at Lao Wang's head.

"Young man, it's him, it's him, it's him"

"Wang Haoyang ordered me to do this."

"There is no such thing as a river god, and there is no such thing as a drought demon."

"Everything was done to snatch the water from the Cang family's private well."

The young man's sharp eyes swept across the villagers' faces, some of which were shocked, some dazed, and some ashamed.

"River God?!"

"Drought girl?!"

"Foolish!"

The young man said coldly,"I came from Lingshi County, Yunzhou, a long way. Along the way, I saw rivers drying up and crops dying."

"Food prices soared, wells ran dry, and tens of thousands of people fled"

"This severe drought affected several states."

"I dare to ask, if you sacrifice this little girl, can the river god of your village make rain fall on the earth?"

The villagers were ashamed and angry.

The boy exposed their shame and anger in broad daylight.

But they did not feel a trace of guilt.

""Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the boy looked back at the shade of the tree. His two dark pupils suddenly shrank.

The middle-aged Taoist priest who had been kneeling properly before, disappeared without a trace, along with the little white donkey.

…… ps: In the next chapter, the heroine leaves the village.

I have to go to work tomorrow, Monday. I will try to write another chapter later and update early tomorrow.

I guarantee that someone will leave a comment asking who Cheng Hu is.
