Chapter 58 Yun Fu doesn’t like a bad life!
"If he died before, then the whole thing is clear. You harbored resentment because of the tragic deaths of your own children and grandchildren, so you deliberately fabricated a story about the river god and had the villagers sacrifice their own children to the river god, causing them to lose their children and grandchildren as well."
For the first time ever, Qi Hanzhou spoke before Yun Fu could open her mouth.
Yun Fu gave him a thumbs up, even though he couldn't see it.
"You're right. It's a pity that none of these idiots could figure out such a simple truth and killed their own children with their own hands."
The villagers were dumbfounded.
"Fake? The river god is fake? The sacrifice is fake, everything is fake?"
"How is that possible?"
"Witch, please say something!"
…
Even though the truth is right in front of us, some people still don't want to believe it.
Because no one is willing to admit that they killed their own children with their own hands.
But the expressions on their faces made the fortune teller very happy. She suddenly looked forward to the expressions on these people's faces when she told the truth in person.
It must be very exciting!
She threw her head back and laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, a bunch of idiots, what they said is true, there is no such thing as a river god, I just made up a story, and you actually believed it all."
"Do you know how hard I have to hold back my laughter every time I see you idiots throwing your own children and grandchildren into the river to feed that fish monster?"
"Why? It was my Dabao who fell into the water and drowned. He was obviously the best-behaved child in the village! It must have been those naughty kids in your family who pushed him in! It must be like this!"
"My Dabao is so lonely down there by himself. I can't bear to let him go, so I sent some of his friends down there to keep him company."
…
The truth was similar to what Yun Fu had guessed.
This witch planned all this just to avenge her grandson.
The truth was revealed by the witch herself, and those villagers who wanted to escape could no longer hide their eyes.
"Niu Dabao drowned while fishing in the river. What does it have to do with others? Witch, are you crazy?"
"Yes, Niu Dabao's death was an accident! How can you put the blame on us?"
"You crazy woman, I'm going to beat you to death to avenge my Erniu!"
…
One person rushed forward first and fought with the witch, and then the second person came along.
Then a group of villagers, after learning the truth, went crazy and picked up sticks and stones to attack the witch.
He was shouting that he wanted to avenge his children and grandchildren who had died tragically at the hands of the giant crocodile.
Yun Fu chose to stand by and watch these people's dog-eat-dog behavior.
Everyone here is no longer an innocent victim when they agree to use children for sacrifice.
But he is the perpetrator and accomplice in killing those children.
——
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
Yun Fu didn't want the three little kids to stay here and continue watching these people commit violence.
So he suggested sending Mu Lingyun home.
The Mu family's grandparents and grandchildren lived in a dilapidated thatched hut at the end of the village. After several heavy rains, there were several large holes in the roof, the doors and windows were shaky, and the whole house looked like it was about to collapse at any time.
Mu Lingyun led the way in front with reserved movements.
Because everyone in the village said that my grandfather was a weirdo and an old lunatic, and no one wanted to interact with them.
This was the first time someone came to visit their home.
When Yun Fu entered the thatched hut, her eyes lit up.
Different from what you see outside.
The house is very clean and the furnishings are very comfortable. Although it is shabby and old, it is not difficult to see the owner's care.
"Is Ling Yun back?"
Mu Yong, who was lying on his back on the bed, heard the noise and asked.
"Grandfather, it's my grandson who's back, and there are a few guests."
Mu Lingyun quickly ran to the bed, lay down next to Mu Yong, and said.
After all, he was only a child of six or seven years old. After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, he couldn't help crying when he saw the only person close to him in the world.
He told his grandfather everything about how he was almost sacrificed to the earth dragon by the villagers, and how Yun Fu and the others appeared and saved him.
Mu Yong was so angry that his whole body was shaking. "I told them long ago that thing was an earth dragon, not a river god at all! Why don't they believe me?"
"A bunch of ignorant villagers! They actually listened to the lies made up by that vicious village woman!"
"There's no such thing as a river god in this world, and there's no such thing as a river god's divine punishment. This flood was caused by the continuous heavy rains, which caused the river water to rise."
…
Yun Fu curled her pink lips, quite surprised that such a knowledgeable old man could be found in this small mountain village.
"The old man is right. Floods are not scary. What's scary is people's hearts. We could have given early warnings, built dams, and planted trees to prevent floods, but no one did it."
"Everyone placed their hopes on a god that didn't even exist."
“It’s pitiful, sad, and lamentable!”
Mu Yong raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the young voice. Seeing that it was a pretty girl, his expression paused and he was a little surprised.
"Who is this girl?"
Yun Fu nodded at him and gave her name: "Yun Fu, I'm an exiled prisoner passing by."
Mu Lingyun was afraid that the old man would be unhappy if he knew Yun Fu's identity as an exiled prisoner, so he hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, she was the one who jumped into the river to save my grandson. She, she also chased away the earth dragon!"
But Mu Yong didn't mind Yun Fu's identity. He stroked his beard and stared at Yun Fu with his wise eyes for a few more seconds. "To be able to casually say that she is an exile, this girl must be extraordinary."
"It's the same with you, old man. I never thought that in such an ignorant and remote village, I would meet someone as insightful as you."
Yun Fu is not stupid. The way this old man behaves and the furnishings in this room make it seem that he is someone who could not be raised in this small village.
Mu Yong sighed and said, "In this chaotic world, perhaps living in a muddled state would make me happier."
Yun Fu didn't quite agree with his statement: "Whether it's a chaotic world or a prosperous one, it has nothing to do with how I choose to live. I don't like living in a muddle-headed and depressed state. Even in a chaotic world, I have my own way of living!"
To put it simply, Yun Fu doesn't like a bad life!
Qi Hanzhou was touched by her words and began to think about how he should live his future life.
Yun Fu was not here to discuss the philosophy of life with the old man. Her eyes fell on the old man's injured leg, which was tied up with two branches.
"I know some medical skills. Let me take a look at the wound on your leg."
