In the map of mountains, rivers and states, there is a very natural little world.

The flow of time here is much faster than outside.

Mianmian was there and became the smallest baby in the village.

She grew up drinking her mother's milk, and gradually became a little ball of milk, about 3 years old, who could run and jump freely.

Little Naitian follows the children of the same age in the village to go up the mountains and down the rivers every day. She is not at all as quiet and well-behaved as other girls.

However, as time went by, the adults in the village stopped letting the children go out.

"I heard that there was a kid in the next village who played for a while at the foot of the mountain, and got his heart taken out by a fox demon."

"Oh my god, why is God like this? It's hard enough for ordinary people like us to rely on the harvest from the fields for food, why do monsters have to come down from the mountains to eat people?"

"Have you invited the Taoist priest? The abbot of Bixia Temple is very good at catching monsters. Can we ask him to help us get rid of the monsters?"

The adults were talking a lot. Mianmian stood on a chair and leaned over the window to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The village was full of farmers, who lived in thatched mud houses. They worked hard every day, hoping that the harvest would be good, so that they could have some surplus after paying the grain tax, so that their families could have enough to eat.

With such family conditions, it is impossible for the family alone to invite a Taoist priest.

Those Taoist priests who practice Taoism can only be hired if you have money.

The village chief beat the gongs and drums and said, "Let's unite with other villages and have every household pay some money. This is for our own good. If the monster continues to cause trouble, I'm afraid our villages relying on the mountain will not be able to have peace."

When the village chief said this, everyone agreed.

The place where people in the village discussed things was right next to Mianmian's house, so Mianmian heard another scary story.

Previously, a tiger monster appeared in a village somewhere else. The monster ate three children a day. At first, the villagers were asked to offer their own children, and three children would last for a year.

Later, the tiger monster's appetite grew, and he could only take care of the three children for half a year.

The villagers were unwilling to do so. They sacrificed children so frequently, what difference would that make them any different from being killed? They would all be extinct! They wanted to run away, but the tiger demon just killed them.

You can't run away, no one cares.

In desperation, the young and middle-aged men in the village decided to fight the tiger monster. They took the tools they used for farm work at home and fought with the tiger monster.

How could it possibly be a fight? An ordinary tiger coming down the mountain was enough to cause trouble for the villagers, not to mention that the opponent was a monster that could fly over rooftops and walls! How could ordinary people be a match for the tiger monster? All the people in the village were killed by the tiger monster.

This tiger monster ate too many people, so it moved to another village.

The village happened to be close to Bixia Temple, so the Taoist priests there cleaned up the body. The body is still on display in the temple for pilgrims to see.

The tiger demon is worthy of being a tiger demon. Even after death, its body is twice as big as that of an ordinary tiger.

Every pilgrim who visits will be frightened by the corpse of the tiger demon and pray to God and Buddha, hoping that the demon will not go to the place where they live.

When Little Mianmian heard that the tiger monster flattened the child's head with one hand, she touched her own head and ran to her mother, hugging her waist and said, "Mom, monsters are so scary. Mianmian doesn't want to see monsters. I don't want my head to become flat."

The young woman who was sewing and wearing coarse cloth smiled and said, "It's okay. The villagers are discussing how to deal with the monster. It's nothing more than paying some money. Don't be afraid, little Mianmian. It's okay."

With her mother's comfort, Xiao Mianmian felt the fear in her heart slowly disappear.

She stayed at home obediently, waiting for the problem to be solved.

There is a distance between the three villages, so people need to pass on information to each other.

The money was collected, and the young men in the village, together with the young men from other villages, went to Bixia Temple. This trip would take another three days.

Three days later, when they saw the people coming back and heard that the Taoist priest agreed to exorcise the demon, the gloomy atmosphere in the whole village was swept away.

Everyone was happy, feeling that the demon had been eradicated. They no longer confined the children at home and allowed them to play around the village, but they were not allowed to go near the mountain.

Mianmian also went out. She had her hair tied up in a bun and was wearing a little red skirt that her mother made for her. She happily followed the older kids around and played around.

That day, at night, a villager brought some good news.

Why is it half good news?

The Taoist priest tried to catch a fox demon, and he did encounter a fox demon, but he failed to catch it, and the fox demon got seriously injured and ran away.

No matter what, it’s a good thing that the fox demon is injured! “The Taoist priests said that the fox demon is injured, we don’t need to be too scared, just do what we usually do.”

With this sentence, it is equivalent to lifting the ban.

Children can continue to have fun and adults don’t have to worry anymore.

Mianmian can play hide-and-seek with her friends. She is very good at this game and has the ability to climb trees. She can climb up a big tree in no time and hide very secretly.

She hid well, then quietly pushed aside the leaves and looked down, seeing the child who was looking for someone walking around.

Children have a wide range of places to play, so the child found Mianmian and wanted to leave if he couldn't find her.

But Mianmian saw a man with strange circles drawn on his body coming down the mountain.

When the man saw the child looking for someone, he didn't say a word. He just reached out his hand and grabbed the child. With his other hand, he reached towards the child's heart and pulled it out alive.

It was the first time that Mianmian saw such a bloody scene, and the person lying on the ground was her playmate.

Her eyes opened wide and her whole body was trembling. She was so scared that she couldn't make any sound.

The man who took out the person's heart put the heart into a wooden box and walked away without stopping.

Mianmian only felt tears wetting her eyes. She came down from the tree sluggishly, not daring to look at Ermao's body on the ground, and ran back home.

At home, her mother Jiang Yao was washing clothes.

Mianmian walked into the room blankly, lay on the small bed, and said nothing.

Jiang Yao noticed that something was wrong with the child, so she wiped her hands, walked into the house, and asked softly, "Xiao Mianbao, what's wrong?"

Mianmian looked at her mother and wanted to speak, but only “ahhh” sounds came out of her mouth.

Jiang Yao was frightened, so she carried Mianmian out of the house and asked the neighbors to call Mianmian's father home.

Mianmian’s father has returned home, and the whole village is in an uproar!

An adult discovered Ermao's body and gathered the villagers together.

Ermao's family cried and screamed.

Everyone was cursing the fox demon, and as they were cursing they began to hug their children tightly, worrying about how they were going to live.

Mianmian hugged her mother's neck, her big eyes full of panic.

Is that a fox demon killing people? Why doesn't it look like that?
