After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Chapter 217

Jing Xiaocui was dragged to the entrance of the village and piled together with many people.

They are all women in the village.

Some had stomachs as high and swollen as hers, some were wrapped in long gowns, and some were even naked. When they were captured without any chance to resist, their huge bellies were covered with purple spots and stripes, like meat melons that were about to burst.

There were also women with flat bellies, young women who had just gotten married last year, and young girls in the village who used to be full of life.

Even some middle-aged women with gray hair.

Everyone was gathered together tightly, surrounded by their former fathers, husbands, and fathers-in-law.

They cried, crawled, and screamed, trying to recall the little care and love they had in the past, but their voices fell on deaf ears, unable to evoke a trace of humanity.

There were also people who were beaten so hard that they were barely breathing. Jing Xiaocui had seen that woman before. She was a widow with a strong temper.

A real widow. Her husband died in the war, but she managed to curse the entire village on her own. She outlasted her parents-in-law and raised a daughter and two sons. Her sons are studying in school, and her daughter has already married. Her belly is protruding, her hands are so rotten that they are unrecognizable, and half of a wooden handle used for resistance is wrapped in her flesh and blood.

All the people were like pigs to be slaughtered.

Were there any that were looted?

Have.

The father and son of the neighboring territory who had offered to help him have wives at home, so they are not here. Doctor Zhang's wife and daughter are not here. The mother of the village fool is young and beautiful, but she is not here.

The faces of the men surrounding him were blurry and they all looked like they were using the same face.

Occasionally, one of them would have a clearer look and reveal an expression of reluctance. His woman seemed to see a glimmer of hope and reached out her hand with her belly as heavy as a mountain. However, the man immediately retracted his expression and became as cold and cruel as everyone else.

They are all waiting for people to come, they haven’t caught all of them yet.

Some men were whispering in the crowd.

"Are you really dreaming? I lost so much money in betrothal gifts by giving up my daughter. I'm losing a lot."

"How can it be false?"

"Did you dream about the mountain god?"

"It was such a real dream! The mountain god was tall and mighty, with arms a thousand feet long, broad waist and shoulders, and radiating golden light!"

"Did you see the face clearly?"

"How can mortals like us see the appearance of the mountain god? But the auspicious light and auspicious aura are covering it, so it must be correct!"

"He asked you to offer your wife and daughter?"

"I...you...what are you asking? Just follow what the adults said! It can't be wrong!" The person who spoke blushed, cursed incoherently and left.

Li Mazi was upset after being criticized for no reason. His wife had died a long time ago, and she died of dystocia. She risked her life but couldn't give birth to a second child. The eldest was a girl, who was unlucky and drowned in the urine bucket. The second was a son, and he spent all his family's money to send him to the largest kitchen in town as an apprentice. He lived with the little girl who killed her mother. This little girl could wash clothes and cook every day, and was very useful. It was really a bit reluctant to give her away like this.

Such was the panic that day that people offered their wives, daughters, and even mothers to worship the mountain god, saying that it was a dream at night and the god's will.

If you don't obey, you will be sent away by God!

What kind of divine dispatch? What kind of punishment? Who will carry it out? Can we escape? Can only those who have dreamed of it and offer it up be free from divine punishment?

If I, who have never dreamed, take the initiative to cling to him, can I also be blessed?

No one knew who actually had the dream. Everyone swore that it was true, but no one was willing to reveal the specific content of the dream in detail.

When I woke up from a shocking dream, I found that the person I slept in bed with was really pregnant. In just one night, if it wasn't a miracle, how could it be possible?

During the Qingming Festival, accompanied by the crowing of roosters piercing through the gray mist, a grand ceremony of offering wives began.

If one person does this, he is committing murder against his wife and deserves the death penalty. If everyone does this, it is natural and destiny.

At first, it only affected pregnant women. Later, someone pushed away his or her daughter. Then, it was extended to all women who were still able to bear children.

Who cares whether she is a wife, daughter, or mother?

Anyway, you are working like a slave at home, so you might as well become a mountain god and protect the safety of the men in the family. This is what you call a real contribution!

There were also those who were unwilling to offer their wives. Doctor Zhang was the only young man in his family. When the crowd surrounded them, the usually kind-hearted doctor with a mustache actually stood at the door with poison in his hand and shouted angrily, threatening that he would poison the entire village if anyone tried to break in and snatch his wife and daughter.

There's nothing we can do. We understand pharmacology. Even if you are unwilling to donate, there are many who are willing to donate!

The Cui family, whose children were all dark and strong, were unwilling to offer their services. They took a machete and injured two people at the door, refusing to let anyone in. They tried to persuade them, but they refused to listen. Silly and silly, he happily welcomed them into the house, but when he found out that they were going to take his own mother away, he suddenly attacked and blinded one of them with his bare hands. Now no one cared about them anymore!

You deserve to be troubled by women in the future!

There are also those who don’t have a man at home…

Of course I had to snatch it away to do good deeds for the dead man, but this widow refused! It took me half an hour to subdue her. It was really exhausting!

The people around were whispering, waiting for the wives of the mountain gods to gather.

Some people looked terrified and did not dare to go door to door to help search. They just stood by the tied-up pregnant wife and comforted her in a gentle voice:

"There are too many people. I can't defeat them all... I really don't want you to go. I love you the most. You know it. Believe me!"

The tied-up young woman had disheveled hair and was slumped on the ground with a swollen belly. "Please let me go, my dear. No need to cause a fight. Just let me go secretly. Please..."

"How can that be possible?"

The young man stroked the fluffy hair and stained his fingertips with a little dirt: "We still have father and grandfather at home. If you are gone, what if the gods send you down... we can't be unfilial..."

The woman cried with an almost ferocious look on her face: "If you still remember any good things about me, let me go, let me go home. My family is rich, divorce me and compensate you for the betrothal gift..."

The husband's face changed, and he slapped her hard in the face: "What's the difference between being an unfilial person and being a beast? I didn't realize that you were rotten to the core! It's not that I didn't save you, but you wanted me to be unfilial and unrighteous!"

After saying this, the man seemed to have let go of a heavy psychological burden. It wasn't that he was afraid of death, it was that this woman was bad to begin with. People like her should be sent away! He was doing this for the good of his family! He left the circle of people in anger.

Jing Xiaocui has been giving birth and working hard recently. She has to stay up all night to feed her baby, and then fight for her life in the morning. She has no strength left and she doesn't even want to sit up.

She was thrown to the ground and lay face up. The sky was gray after the morning and now it was dazzlingly bright blue. She suddenly remembered a word she heard when she passed by the school when she was young.

what do you say that is?

Call……

Oh.

——The sky is clear and the sun is bright.
