Chapter 453: Mountain Demon? Mountain God?
The middle-aged woman's face was covered with tears and she was crying breathlessly.
"Why is there another one?"
The village chief held his forehead with his hand.
"Aunt Li, I'm not stopping you from going up," the village chief crouched down, "You know the rules too. You absolutely can't go up a foggy mountain!"
"Besides, the police have said that there are not only missing people in the mountains, but also fugitives! What can a woman like you do up there?"
What could a middle-aged lady who only knows how to light a fire and cook do by running up there? Wouldn't that just cause trouble?
While explaining, the village chief reached out and tried to pull Aunt Li up from the ground.
Aunt Li shook off his hand, rolled on the ground, and refused to get up.
“I just knew I was going to…”
Aunt Li cried out, "My eldest son was killed by that vicious and shameless female demon. For three whole years, we haven't even found his body... I can't stand by and watch my youngest son get killed by that female demon!"
The village chief was shocked and his eyes widened suddenly: "What? Three years ago, Dayong ran to the mountains!"
"Your youngest son is back too! Why didn't you tell the police!"
Aunt Li suddenly closed her mouth and her eyes flickered.
The faces of the villagers at the scene changed and they began to whisper to each other.
Zhou Ping noticed that some people even curled their lips in disdain.
"What's this reaction?" Zhou Ping whispered as he approached Tu Xiaoxiang.
Jiang Xu glanced at the face of the woman called Aunt Li, his eyes darkening slightly.
The Palace of Children is dark, the bridge of the nose is broken, and a hideous horizontal line cuts off the originally continuous bridge of the nose.
This means that her two sons are not only difficult to rely on, but also commit many evil deeds and bring disaster to their parents.
"Those two scourges of the Li family..." an old man spat, gritting his teeth, "They deserved retribution long ago."
"You!" Aunt Li looked up suddenly, breathing rapidly.
"What's wrong? You're not allowed to talk about it. Your two sons have caused us so much trouble."
The villagers started talking one after another, and Jiang Xu quickly pieced together what had happened.
At the beginning, the Li brothers said that they worked in a bank in the city and had a financial product that needed to be promoted. If you deposited money in the bank, you would get a certain amount of interest every month.
Because it is a new financial product, the interest rate is much higher than the general fixed interest rate of bank deposits.
They are all from the same village, and everyone trusts them and deposits their money with them. Many elderly people even take out their pension money and coffin money.
Everything was fine at first, and they even pretended to pay them some interest every month, but two years later, the two brothers suddenly disappeared.
Everyone then realized something was wrong. They went to the city to inquire and found out that they were not bank employees at all, but scammers who had run away with their money!
"These two bastards, how much money can we rural people save in a year? They took away everyone's hard-earned money!"
"My husband has cancer and needs money for surgery... In the end, he can only be carried back home to die..." The woman wiped her tears.
Now when we think of those two people, we still feel hatred towards them.
Afterwards, Aunt Li and her husband found out about what had happened, so they sold their house, scraped together money, and repaid part of the debt, allowing everyone to recover some of their losses.
Everyone also knew that it was not their fault, so no one took their anger out on them.
I didn’t expect that the little beast was not dead yet and dared to come back!
"I'm sorry, we know we were wrong. His father was angered to death by the two of them, but now Xiaoyu is the only one left in the Li family..."
"You can arrest him and put him in jail, but don't let him be eaten by monsters!
"If both of my sons were killed without an intact body, I... I would not even have the face to be buried in the ancestral tomb after I die!" At this point, Aunt Li could only tell the truth and cried heartbreakingly.
"Nonsense!" A clear female voice suddenly interrupted her, "Sister Mountain Goddess is not a female demon! She never harms anyone! It's that ugly mountain demon who does the harm!"
The person who spoke was a girl with pigtails.
"Mountain demon?" Sun Ruxin frowned and couldn't help asking, "There's a mountain demon on this mountain? What's going on?"
"Last summer, I went mushroom hunting in the mountains and got lost. I also twisted my ankle when it got dark. I was alone in the mountains, surrounded by many scary insects, spiders, mice, and frogs..."
As the shadows of the trees swayed, she suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. She thought it was an adult coming to find her, so she turned around and her pupils suddenly contracted.
It was a twisted figure, with its neck drooping in front of its chest at an extremely strange angle.
With his mouth open, a pair of dark eyes stared at her, his pupils so large that they almost took up the entire eye sockets.
She was so frightened that she froze on the ground for a moment, the color drained from her face, she screamed madly, and crawled to her feet, trying to run away.
The next second, pain came from her feet, and she forgot that she was injured.
It’s over. I really can’t run away now. Am I going to be eaten by the mountain demon?
She sat on the ground and cried loudly, overwhelmed by great fear.
Just when she thought she was really going to die, a red figure walked out of the woods.
The woman was wearing a robe as red as fire, and butterflies were fluttering around her.
She has a slender figure, with waist-length black hair, delicate features, and is as beautiful and noble as a fairy in heaven.
She will never forget this scene.
"Sister Mountain God helped me drive away the terrible mountain demon and those insects, applied herbs to my wounds, gave me wild fruits to eat, and finally led me down the mountain."
"Sister Mountain Goddess is so beautiful, and her eyes are as bright as stars. She is a very good person! She is not a man-eating monster!" The girl said in a firm tone.
"Bah, what do you know, little girl? Don't interrupt when adults are talking!"
"Otherwise, where did all the men who disappeared in the mountains in recent years go? It's clearly a vixen who sucks people's energy!" Aunt Li said angrily.
The girl stamped her feet anxiously: "You are talking nonsense! It was that ugly mountain monster who hurt people, and the fog was also caused by that monster. Fairy sister is the mountain god, the good person who protects us!"
"Yes! Sister Mountain Goddess has saved many people!" Several children in the crowd echoed in unison.
Fu Ming rubbed his temples and felt overwhelmed.
On this Wu Mountain, first there was strange fog, then there were missing policemen and criminals, and an internet celebrity who was ignorant of his own life and death, and now a mountain demon and a female mountain god have appeared.
No, in the legend, it is a female demon that sucks the essence of men.
In the eyes of children, the fairy is a good person who does good things and is as kind as a goddess who has descended from the mountain to the earth.
Which one is true?
Fu Ming's mind became even more confused.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow: "Just go and take a look and you'll know."
Fu Ming walked up and took out his ID. The village chief had heard from the police that a special person would be coming, and...
When his eyes fell on Jiang Xu, his eyes suddenly lit up.
It’s Master Jiang!
"Master Jiang, come in!" the village chief said excitedly.
He quickly opened the roadblock to let a few people in. Aunt Li suddenly rushed over and reached out to grab Jiang Xu's wrist.
"Master, I know you. You are the very popular master!"
"Please, bring my son out safely! He's already realized his mistake, and the Li family is counting on him..."
Jiang Xu frowned slightly and moved sideways to avoid her touch.
"Even if we find your son, I'm afraid he won't have the chance to carry on your family line."
Jiang Xu glanced at her and said in a cold voice, "Or do you still want to protect him?"
Aunt Li missed the opportunity, and when she came to her senses, Jiang Xu had already walked up the mountain.
She froze in place, her face flushing red instantly.
"Aunt Li, get up first and don't cry." At this moment, a pair of white and slender hands reached out and gently helped her up.
