Chapter 134 The traitor is Zhou Dalang
The enemy is strong, and they are not bad either.
"So what should we do now? Report him to the police?"
Zhou Lang disagreed, "There is no evidence. How can we expose it?"
Lin Shiqi choked. Indeed, you told the official that I was reincarnated? They said you were possessed by a ghost.
"But Zhou Qinan has been reborn, and he's not even a scholar yet, but he wants to kill the whole Zhou family and bloodbath Taohua Village. I don't know how he will deal with us in the future. This man is dangerous!"
Zhou Lang pondered for a moment.
The murderous intent suddenly appeared, "We can't keep this boy alive. Find a chance to invite him into the mountain tomorrow and let the mountain goddess kill him."
Lin Shiqi understood what he meant.
They still have a few bullets in their hands.
It shouldn't be difficult to get rid of a person in the mountains.
Zhou Qinan colluded with bandits and harmed his neighbors, committing heinous crimes. Killing him can be considered as revenge for the villagers.
Act on behalf of heaven.
Keeping such a scourge around is always a huge danger.
But Lin Shiqi always felt a little uneasy.
The next day, the people of Taohua Village organized an event to thank the Mountain Goddess and required all villagers to go into the mountains to thank the Mountain Goddess for her protection.
There used to be activities to worship the mountain goddess, but those who wanted to go could go, and those who didn’t want to go didn’t go.
This year is different.
Every household and every person has to go.
Wang said, "Master, let's not ask Dalang to go. He should review his lessons at home. Going up the mountain to worship the mountain goddess will take at least half a day."
Zhou Laodao said, "It doesn't take half a day to study. We must worship the Mountain Goddess. If it weren't for the Mountain Goddess, we would all be dead. You don't know, we hid in the mountain that day, and those robbers also climbed up the mountain to find us. If it weren't for the Mountain Goddess protecting us and killing those dog robbers, Dalang might have died long ago!"
"The mountain goddess is so effective. Let's go today. First, we want to thank her. Second, we can ask her to protect our Dalang and help him pass the imperial examination in the autumn and get a high ranking..."
After hearing this, Wang stopped nagging.
"Yes, yes, it's time to go and worship. Dalang, let's all go and worship."
Lin Shiqi also joked, "Brother, what you said makes sense. I will also go and pray for my husband. My husband is also a scholar. Maybe if I pray, he can be admitted as a student."
Now, the scapegoat has been found.
This imaginary mountain goddess.
Wang laughed loudly, "Fourth brother's wife, I'm afraid you are overthinking it. Fourth brother has only been in school for a few days, and he already knows a few words. He is also a lazy boy. How can he pass the exam? No matter how much you beg, I'm afraid the mountain goddess can't help fourth brother."
Lin Shiqi said, "That's hard to say. The Mountain Goddess is so effective. This time she has saved the lives of all our villagers."
After saying that, he ignored her and left.
Wang was behind her, cursing under her breath.
Zhou Qinan came over and dispelled Wang's resentment with a few warm words.
Old Zhou's family joined the large group of people in the village and went up the mountain in a mighty manner.
There is a dilapidated temple of the mountain goddess in the mountain. It is called a temple, but in fact it is just a small cave. There is a stone figure enshrined there. It can be vaguely seen that it is in the shape of a human and it is quite old.
Under the command of the village head, everyone knelt down together.
But there were too many people in Taohua Village to kneel down at the same time, and there was no room.
So, we divided into two groups.
The first group is naturally the respected elders and men in charge of the family in the village.
They knelt together and bowed several times.
Zhou Lang was also among them.
After they finished worshipping and gave up their seats, the remaining women and underage children continued to worship.
Mrs. Zhou, her wife, and grandchildren occupied a large area, and women, children and young children still accounted for more than half of the total population of the village.
The men had no room to stand on the edge and squeezed into the depths of the woods.
Today, not only was the village head leading the group, he also brought offerings and invited a fortune-teller to preside over the ceremony.
The fortune teller asked everyone to bow once, and everyone bowed once.
Then recite some mantras and everyone bows for the second time.
Just when he was doing the third bow, suddenly, the mute girl beside Lin Shiqi suddenly reacted.
He heard a sound of breaking air.
Wipe past the ear.
It was extremely dangerous and made his hair stand on end.
Just as he was about to remind Lin Shiqi, he suddenly thought of something.
Hold it down.
As if nothing had happened, he continued to kneel down with everyone else.
Almost at the same time,
"Ah!" A scream rang out from beside Lin Shiqi and the others.
It’s Wang!
Wang cried out, "Ah! Dalang, Dalang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Qinan covered his ears, blood flowing from his fingertips...
Zhou Qinan tried hard to maintain a smile and a calm expression.
"I'm fine, it's okay, Mom."
He said he was fine, but everyone was not blind, and there was blood between his fingers.
This is obviously an injury.
Mrs. Zhou and the others were also shocked, "What's going on? Ah! Why is Dalang bleeding?"
The women from the same village who were kneeling nearby also started talking.
"Did you hear that sound? It sounded like the sound of the mountain goddess beating up the robbers that night?"
"Ah! Did the Mountain Goddess attack Dalang just now?"
"Why did the Mountain Goddess attack Zhou Dalang? Could it be that the Mountain Goddess doesn't like Zhou Dalang? Or what's going on?"
Lin Shiqi deliberately said, "Didn't our village say that there was a traitor, but we haven't found him yet? Could it be that the Mountain Goddess knows something?"
This topic was brought up.
She doesn't need to do anything else.
The aunts and uncles have a natural skill, gossip, and that opened the seal.
"Could it be that this traitor is Zhou Dalang, and that's why the Mountain Goddess attacked him?"
"Zhou Dalang studies outside every day and has only recently returned to our village. Who knows if he is really studying outside every day or colluding with bandits?"
"Otherwise, if all of us in the village kneel down and worship, the mountain goddess will attack him instead of others!"
…
When Wang heard this, she was furious.
"You people are guilty of verbal abuse, and you will be boiled in oil after you die! Our Dalang is a student, the best scholar in our village. You can't give birth to such a good son, but you are jealous and hate him, so you throw dirty water on him. If anyone keeps talking nonsense, I will tear her mouth apart!"
…
At this time, Old Man Zhou and others also rushed over.
After looking at the situation, I found that the injury was not very serious. The skin of the ear was just scraped and bleeding.
He hurriedly helped Zhou Dalang down the mountain to see the doctor.
Zhou Dalang did not have any extra explanation. At this point, no one would believe him no matter what he said.
He was also scared in his heart. Is the mountain goddess really a spirit?
But he felt like he wasn't...
Old Man Zhou was a protective person. Before he left, he said coldly, "Please be kind in front of the Mountain Goddess."
Everyone stopped talking.
