Chapter 193 Selling children to others for lake sacrifice is also murder
Pei Di and He Wangyao had never seen this situation before, so they were a little uncomfortable with it.
He Wangyao complained: "No way, this bloody sacrifice is really useful?" "
There are rumors in the village that there are spiritual creatures in the lake. There is no problem with using three animals for sacrifice. Taoism has the tradition of three animals for sacrifice." Li Wenhe said, and paused, "Now I understand why you don't allow people to eat fish. It's really disgusting."
He understood, but the visual impact of the scene in front of him was too great, and he also felt a little uncomfortable.
Ming Zhuo: "I don't eat fish, not for this reason. Which lake doesn't have corpses? Small ones include plankton, fish and shrimp, etc. I won't list the big ones. The lake water has the ability to purify itself, so this is not a problem."
After a pause, she said lightly, "I don't eat fish, purely because fish meat stinks."
Fang Linxiao, who had praised fish meat for being delicious in the morning: "..."
Teacher Ruan, are you serious? If he continued, he would almost doubt his life!
The witch over there had finished the sacrificial dance and began to prepare to place the sacrifice in the lake.
Li Wenhe and Zhuang Xun both guessed whether Ming Zhuo was just watching the excitement. Their eyes were always locked on those bloody pigs, cows and sheep, worrying whether there would be something fishy going on.
Meanwhile, in an unnoticed corner, several villagers picked up a box and prepared to throw it into the lake.
"Wait a minute, there's a child in the box!" Someone hurried over and took a breath.
Ming Zhuo raised his eyebrows. Isn't this Sister Hong?
Sister Hong glared at Ming Zhuo and walked over. "That Chu Yuqi sent someone to tell her that she suspected a child had accidentally crawled into the box, and she had to check it before throwing it into the lake."
Zhuang Xun and Li Wenhe looked at each other quickly, and hurried out of the crowd, ready to open the box for inspection.
The witch was a little unhappy, "Nonsense! Disrupting the lake festival, what if the lake god is unhappy and doesn't bless us!"
The more she said this, the less likely Zhuang Xun and Li Wenhe would give up.
"It's just a matter of opening the box and taking a look. What can it delay? Or are you thinking something wrong?" Li Wenhe said, "Why don't we call the police?"
Although Xianyuan Village is located in a remote area, with no village or shop nearby, it is not isolated from the world after all.
If someone really intends to murder, the police will not ignore it.
Sister Hong has a light truck at home and often has to go to the county to sell fish. She has more contact with the outside world and is even more reluctant to get involved in trouble.
"Auntie Huang, human life is at stake. Let them take a look." Sister Hong called the witch directly.
Many villagers followed suit and helped to speak.
Zhuang Xun saw that the witch's expression relaxed, and stepped forward to open the wooden box.
There were some fragmentary offerings inside, but there was definitely no child.
The witch said angrily: "See, there is nothing, you are blaspheming the gods, you will be punished!"
Sister Hong was confused, could it be that the little girl was lying to her? She turned her head and glared at Ming Zhuo angrily. She said that these people were younger than each other, and they were so unreliable!
Zhuang Xun and Li Wenhe were also a little embarrassed. They were strongly asked to leave the Wangxiantai by several villagers in sacrificial clothes.
"Please leave now, you are not welcome here!" He Wangyao and his group were implicated and forcefully expelled.
Fang Linxiao thought it was just right, he didn't want to waste time here, "Teacher Ruan, let's go."
When he turned around, he found that Ming Zhuo was not where he was just now.
Several villagers were also startled. They turned around and shouted, "What are you doing? Get down quickly!"
It was impossible to go down. Ming Zhuo had already walked to the edge of the Wangxian Terrace while no one was paying attention. Seeing that the matter was exposed, she quickly avoided the villagers who came to catch her and ran up to the Wangxian Terrace.
The witch was about to faint. "Why did you come up again? The gods will really punish you!"
Ming Zhuo chuckled and said, "It's hard to say whether the gods will punish you, but the criminal law will really punish you."
She walked to the bloody three animals. The corpses of these pigs, cows and sheep were eye-catching enough. Everyone would look at them at the first time, but they would definitely not want to take a second look.
Because it was too bloody, who would be willing to take a closer look at the corpses?
Because of this, this is the perfect tool for sneaking into the warehouse.
She squatted down, tore off the red silk tied on the corpse, and suddenly opened the cow's broken belly. A two or three-year-old child rolled out.
The villagers who were originally furious were stunned, "There really is a child?"
The child was stuffed in after being knocked unconscious. Mingzhuo pressed on the child's head a few times. The child coughed, woke up, and cried out.
"Mom!"
Sister Hong heard the voice sounded familiar, and took a closer look at the child, "Auntie Lian, isn't this your granddaughter?" The
thin old lady was stunned for a moment, and then ran up crying, "Niuniu, my Niuniu!"
In the crowd, someone quickly looked at each other and wanted to run.
Mingzhuo: "Wenwen!"
Li Wenhe had been alerted the moment the child appeared in the cow's belly. He had been watching the crowd and hurriedly chased after them.
Zhuang Xun was even faster than him. Fang Linxiao was stunned for a second or two before chasing after them.
Soon, the three of them returned with a middle-aged man and woman.
Meanwhile, Mingzhuo had already arrested the witch.
"I don't know, I don't know anything. I bought the virgin from someone, and I didn't know she was swapped!" The middle-aged woman was the first to distance herself from the matter.
The man also said, "We were deceived! They told us that the family sold it voluntarily!"
The witch: "It has nothing to do with me, they traded it themselves!"
Aunt Lian wiped her tears, "It's raining and Niuniu is cold, I'll take her home first."
At this time, someone hurried over, it was the young woman Mingzhuo had met once before.
"Baby!" Hu Miao quickly took off her coat and wrapped her young daughter up, the child hugged her neck and cried loudly.
She quickly glanced at the witch and the middle-aged couple, restraining her anger, "I will investigate this matter to the end, none of you can escape!"
At the moment, comforting her daughter was the most important thing. She held her daughter in her arms, while Aunt Lian held an umbrella for the two of them, preparing to leave.
Ming Zhuo: "Wait a minute."
"Do you have anything else to do?" Hu Miao looked at Ming Zhuo warily. Even though she knew that he had saved her daughter, she subconsciously rejected this group of people.
Knowing that so many people had come to the village, she had been hiding at home for the past two days to avoid meeting them.
Ming Zhuo ignored the hostility in her eyes and said lightly: "You sold the child to others for the lake sacrifice, which is also murder. You can't leave." Hu
Miao widened her eyes and said angrily: "Nonsense! This is the baby I gave birth to with great effort. I am not short of money. How could I sell it..."
She paused, reacted suddenly, and turned to look at the old lady beside her. "Mom?"
Aunt Lian's face didn't change: "You bunch of liars, stop talking nonsense, our family would never sell a child!"
Sister Hong immediately stood up: "That's right, Aunt Lian is famous for her kindness, Miaomiao still pays her several thousand every month, there is no way she would sell a child! You are not well-trained, don't wrongly accuse a good person!"
