Chapter 130 No One is Innocent
Qi Chong was shocked and shouted, "What?"
"Sacrificing women to the mountain god?!"
He looked at the village chief in disbelief, "Uncle, are you really using women for sacrifice?"
The village chief's eyes were dark, and he retorted gloomily: "What do you know? This is a secret method passed down by our ancestors."
"Our ancestors in Shili Village have lived in the mountains for generations, and have made their living from the mountains. If we displease the mountain god, she will not allow us to live."
"In the past, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep were used for sacrifice. But after a little girl accidentally fell into a cave and died, the people who went to collect the body discovered that the stones in the cave were different. They were shiny and beautiful..."
"This must be a reward from the Mountain Goddess!"
When the village chief said this, his face showed madness.
"Master Shen, you are right. Everyone became rich overnight but could not keep their money. They squandered it without restraint, causing Shili Village to gradually decline."
Xu Nan'an said painfully, "So you set your sights on your own daughter. You want to sacrifice Lili to the mountain god!"
"Being chosen to serve the Mountain Goddess is my daughter's supreme honor. What do you know?"
The village chief angrily said, "If you, a stinky boy, hadn't seen it, how could the sacrifice have gone wrong?"
Xu Nan'an roared with red eyes: "What sacrifice? It's obviously you who are brutally killing Lili!"
Qi Chong was shocked: "Nan'an, you saw it..."
Xu Nan'an nodded with a painful expression.
“I see…”
"My parents are quite far-sighted. They plan to take me to study abroad. I want to take Lili with me."
"That night, I went to his house, and unexpectedly I saw him and several villagers whipping Lili."
"Lili was beaten until she was covered in blood, lying naked in a pool of blood..."
At this point, Xu Nanan held his head in pain, refusing to recall the bloody scene anymore.
Shen Wan was silent for a moment, and then said, "You were so scared at that time, even when Lili asked you for help, you didn't take a step towards her."
Xu Nanan fell to his knees and cried in regret towards the direction of the mine that was covered by the mudslide.
"Lili, I'm sorry... I was so scared at that time... I'm sorry... If I could be braver... maybe you wouldn't have died..."
Shen Wan sighed: "On the night of the sacrifice, Lili's death was inevitable."
"That's right!" The village chief's eyes were twisted with madness, "My daughter is going to be sacrificed to the mountain goddess and serve her! No one can stop her!"
"This brat was standing at the door, scared silly. I gave him a whip to get him to join in, but he was a jerk, so he ran away in fear."
"The sacrificial ceremony cannot be interrupted. If he sees it, he must join in and complete the final ceremony."
"I didn't expect that when I went to look for him, his parents had already taken him away."
The village chief gnashed his teeth when he mentioned this, "If you hadn't discovered it and refused to join, how could the ceremony fail!"
"The mountain goddess is angry because the ceremony was interrupted!"
"In the past ten years or so, many people in our village have died or become disabled, all because of you!"
Qi Chong suddenly thought of something: "No wonder my parents suddenly wanted to move my sister and me to the city. It turns out that they knew you had done something so crazy and they were afraid that you would sacrifice my sister!"
The village chief glared at him viciously: "How can serving the mountain goddess be so crazy? It's a blessing that many people want but cannot obtain!"
"My poor daughter was badly harmed by Xu Nan'an. She died in vain!"
"Wang Tiezhu!!" Xu Nan'an rushed over to hit him in a rage, "Lili is your biological daughter, how could you have the heart to do that to her!"
When he thought of Lili being beaten to death by them, he felt hatred and guilt, and beat the village chief madly, as if he wanted to vent all the regret he had accumulated over the years.
Soon the village chief was beaten black and blue and had several teeth knocked out.
Qi Chong did not try to stop the fight. He was furious: "What era is this? And you are still offering sacrifices to the mountain god? How could a proper mountain god want to take a person's life?"
"So one Lili is not enough, and you guys keep sacrificing the lives of women in the village."
"Until now, there is not a single woman left!"
“Oh my God!”
"Even beasts cannot do such cruel and inhumane evil!"
The village chief was beaten to death by Xu Nan'an, but he still made a weak excuse: "This is the rule passed down by our ancestors... I am not wrong..."
"Your village was originally a place of great feng shui, but because of greed, you didn't hesitate to beat your loved ones to death with your own hands, maybe your daughter, maybe your wife, maybe your mother!"
Shen Wan said angrily: "Everything that Shili Village is suffering now is retribution for you!"
She noticed when she entered the village that every villager was carrying sin.
I didn’t expect the sin to be so serious and outrageous!
"Retribution... hehe..." The village chief spit out blood and laughed crazily: "We will find new mines... and everyone will become rich overnight..."
"What the hell." Chen Wan glanced at the sky, turned back and said to Qi Chong: "Take Mr. Xu with you, let's go."
Qi Chong was dumbfounded: "Leave now?"
Xu Nan'an regretted, "I won't leave. I want to find Lili. I don't want to escape anymore!"
Although Qi Chong didn't know what Shen Wan was up to, he knew it was right to listen to her.
"Master Shen won't harm you. She must have her reasons for letting you go."
Xu Nanan looked at Shen Wan with red eyes, pleading in his eyes.
"Lili's soul is not here. She was not sacrificed and was not suppressed." Shen Wan said, "Let's go back and prepare things first."
Only then did Xu Nanan get up.
The village chief was still lying on the ground.
None of the three paid any attention to him and went straight down the mountain.
As soon as they returned to the village, someone noticed that the village chief did not come back with them. Thinking something had happened, they hurriedly took people to the mountains to find the bruised village chief and brought him back.
"Call the police? Why call the police?" The village chief was lying on the bed, cursing weakly, "Go and catch these three people!"
The villagers hurried to chase the three people.
On a certain hilltop.
Shen Wan and the other two looked down at the villagers chasing after them with murderous intent, holding kitchen knives and other weapons.
Qi Chong was horrified: "They are crazy! Fortunately, Master Shen had the foresight to lead us away, otherwise we would have been chopped into pieces if we were a step later."
Shen Wan said calmly: "They have been dazzled by the illusory overnight wealth."
Xu Nan'an slumped on the ground, his expression numb, "I just want to see Lili..."
The villagers below couldn't find the three of them, so they went back to the village in a noisy manner to report to the village chief.
Qi Chong quickly took out his cell phone and said, "These people are guilty. I have to call someone to arrest them!"
Shen Wan pointed to the dark clouds in the distance and said, "The storm is coming."
"Yeah, we have to get back to the car to get out of the rain."
"What I mean is that this rain will wash away the sins of Shili Village."
"Captain Qi, it's too late for you to get someone over here."
Qi Chong looked at the village and then looked at her in shock.
