Bai Ye simply ignored the village chief's gaze and continued to express his thoughts.
"Hundreds of years ago..." (a lot of blah blah)
He recounted the history of the village that the village chief had told him, and added some of his own insights when talking about the disappearance of the first bride.
“There are many wild beasts in the mountains. You must have seen them there. In fact, she happened to come to the mountain temple and died in the mouth of a wild beast.
But, your ignorant ancestors made up some story about mountain gods.
After a long period of sunny weather, there will be rain; after a long period of rain, there will be more sunny days than sunny days. Think about it yourself, isn’t it that every drought season lasts about the same time? You all choose to sacrifice someone’s daughter when you are about to collapse, and it just happens that the rainy season comes.
As far as I know, the last time you sacrificed my sister, the drought only lasted three months.
But I don't want my sister to go into the fire pit, which in your eyes would be considered as destroying the sacrifice.
Sure enough, the time did not come and it did not rain. You idiots did not dare to question the mountain god, so you pointed the finger at my sister and me.
Village chief, you know all this, right?
You don't have to refute it, I have evidence."
Bai Ye was exhausted after saying so much in one breath. He stopped to relax and his eyes swept over the villagers in the encirclement and the village chief opposite.
The village chief lowered his head and said nothing.
The villagers had different expressions on their faces. They all looked at the village chief outside, waiting for his explanation.
However, there are always people whose brains don't work well.
A burly man with a dark face and thick eyebrows suddenly spoke, his tone full of disdain.
"Why should we trust you? You are a disaster..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was swallowed by the black cat.
Suddenly, the other few people who were ready to make a move shrank their heads. The villagers were so frightened that they dared not breathe. Some of the timid ones had fainted from fear.
Bai Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at the village chief.
"Village chief, the village does have no exit, but we can go over the hill to the outside, right?
I saw a lot of things in your house that shouldn't be there, such as exquisite cloth, peach blossom cakes and osmanthus cakes. No farmer in the village knows how to make these.
I assume you purchased it from outside, so where did the money come from?
This place has been isolated from the outside world for hundreds of years. Where do you get the money to buy it?
Let me guess? "
Bai Ye pretended to think, and continued, "You know there is no mountain god, so you became greedy. Rather than letting the sacrificed women be eaten alive by wild beasts, it is better to sell them outside.
Sold to a wealthy family as a maid, or sold to a brothel, right?
You have gained a lot of benefits through this method..."
When he said this, the villagers suddenly became excited, and their eyes all fell on the village chief, wanting to hear his answer.
They were unwilling to believe this was true and wanted to hear the village chief's excuses to make them feel better.
However, the village chief remained silent.
Bai Ye waved at the black cat, and the black cat immediately understood and took out a few things from its stomach: a few red bellybands, a piece of fine cloth, a box of osmanthus cake, and a silver ingot...
A light black mist wrapped these things and flew twice over the villagers' heads.
Soon, several women recognized the bellyband as the underwear of their daughter whom they had previously abandoned.
"ah--"
"My little Lian, you have such a hard life..."
"Xiao Ju, that belongs to my Xiao Ju. Who the hell hurt you?"
The crying sounds were one after another, making a lot of noise.
Bai Ye glanced at the villagers and saw the complex expressions on their faces: some were sad, some were regretful, and some were numb...
Those who were crying were basically the mothers of those women.
He sighed, looking at the village chief who was already squatting on the ground with his hands covering his ears, and felt a little speechless. You are not the victim, why should you cry...
"Village chief, perhaps you once believed that the mountain god existed, but later you must have discovered the truth.
Perhaps for your position as village chief, to preserve your family's reputation, or perhaps out of greed, you did not tell the villagers, but continued to conceal the truth.
There must be a reason why these bellybands appeared in your house. I believe that you are an old man and would not be disrespectful to your elders, but it is hard to say about your son.
Your son discovered your secret and just did something even more ruthless.
Since there was no mountain god, he acted as a mountain god and hurt one young girl after another.
You must be aware of all this, but you are selfish and watch those poor women being persecuted without doing anything.
You are not worthy of being the village chief!"
After the last sentence was spoken, the village chief fell to his knees.
"I...I am guilty..."
Even if the village chief's words acquiesced to Bai Ye's words just now, the villagers could no longer suppress their emotions and they cursed at the village chief.
The brave old men and the mothers of the victims vented their hatred on the devil, the village chief's son.
They punched and kicked the village chief's son, especially kicking him hard in a certain part of his body.
The wailing and screaming echoed throughout the mountains and forests, and you could tell how painful it was just by listening to them.
But no one sympathized with him, only anger and satisfaction.
Devil, it’s not a pity to die!
Bai Ye did not stop it, and the big yellow dog and the black cat watched with interest.
The black cat spoke human language.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Several villagers were shocked. They were really enlightened today. Cats can speak human language.
The village chief's wife, daughter-in-law, and grandson also received no favorable treatment, but the villagers had not yet taken action against them...
It’s not that I don’t want to do it, the big yellow dog is guarding it.
