Chapter 142

"Hey! Deer, did you come out to mow the grass so early today?"

The little deer looked up, and it was Jin Hai, the son of the big landlord in the town.

She lowered her head cowardly, and carefully put the cut grass into the basket.

Jin Hai ran over with a grin, pulling Xiao Lu to run.

"What's the point of cutting pigweed? Come play with me. The crickets on the mountain are interesting."

Fawn broke free from him in panic, and said in a low voice: "I can't go to play, if I behave badly, my mother will send me to the altar."

Speaking of the altar, the two children shivered.

Jin Hai withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and no longer forced Xiao Lu to play with him, the altar is not just for fun.

The bugs inside are as big as snakes, and the most terrifying thing is that they can eat people!

"I said what's so good about this altar. People in the town go in every year, and we can't let others know."

Jin Hai pouted, his father took him inside once, and the bugs there scared him so much that he didn't dare to sleep for three days.

He doesn't want to go in again!

Xiao Lu pursed her lips and did not speak. Unlike Jin Hai, she is the only child in the family and knows more than him.

Every year, people who pass by the town will suddenly disappear. She has seen her parents help other people and kill a truck driver who passed by here, just to make up for the sacrifice at the end of the month.

She has been wondering, shouldn't beef and mutton be used for sacrifices?Why kill?
This year, her family was also allocated quotas. She got up at night once and heard the conversations of her parents.

"If you really can't catch anyone, then hand over the deer. The deer is the most useless at home. It eats more and does less work. It is her blessing to be used as a sacrifice."

Thinking of this, Xiao Lu shivered again and buried himself in mowing the grass.

If she could do a little more work, would A Niang not send her as a sacrifice?

He took the sickle in her hand with both hands, and quickly cut down all the pigweed nearby.

"Why did you come out to mow the grass so early?"

The tall and thin man faced the light and became the only bright color in Xiao Lu's eyes.

Xiaolu sniffed, trying not to cry.

Officer Chen is the nicest guy in the town, and the out-of-town officers in the police station are very friendly.

After Chen Xinran finished cutting the pigweed, he tied the pigweed firmly to the deer's back.

"I'll take you back." He touched Xiao Lu's head, took Xiao Lu's hand and sent her home.

There was no one at home, and Xiao Lu had nothing to entertain Chen Xinran. After thinking about it, she decided to pour Chen Xinran a glass of water.

"Officer Chen, wait for me, I will come right away."

Chen Xinran was wandering in the yard of Xiaolu's house, and found that the water tank in her house was not covered. Out of kindness, he picked up the wooden cover and walked over.

As a result, I walked over and looked, and was stunned. There was a bloody person lying in the water tank. Isn't this person the truck driver who just came to the town yesterday?
Chen Xinran remembered him, and even registered him himself.

His eyes became sharp in an instant, and before he could do anything, there was a loud bang, and the back of his head was hit by a heavy object, Chen Xinran's eyes darkened and he passed out.

Fawn's father stood behind him with a gloomy face.

"Who told you to bring outsiders back." Xiaolu's father, with anger in his eyes, took out Xiaolu who was holding a water glass.

Tears filled Xiaolu's eyes, and she knew that Officer Chen might not survive.

Xiaolu's father invited the mayor to his home, and the mayor was in charge of all the sacrifice-related work in the town.

The mayor took a deep puff of his cigarette, and said lightly, "Why did you beat this kid? He is Chief Hou's favorite, right-hand man, capable man."

Xiao Lu's father gave Xiao Lu a hard look, blaming this stinky girl.

"He found our sacrifice." Xiaolu's father said.

"Well, it's really impossible to stay." The mayor nodded. After all these years of doing this secretly, it was because of a police station that kept suppressing them.

"It's time to clean up the police station."

Get rid of the outsiders inside, those who should be driven away, and find a way to deal with those who can't. There can be no outsiders in the town.

In the middle of the night, Xiaolu sneaked up while his parents were not paying attention, lifted the planks of the cellar, and untied Chen Xinran inside.

After Chen Xinran got his freedom, the first thing he thought of was to go to Director Hou and report the matter quickly.

Not long after escaping Xiaolu's house, Chen Xinran met Xu Hongzhi.

"Hey! Chen Xinran, where have you been looking for you all day?" Xu Hongzhi put his arms around Chen Xinran's shoulders, and the two brothers walked side by side.

Chen Xinran told Xu Hongzhi exactly what happened to him, but he didn't notice the flickering light in Xu Hongzhi's eyes.

The next day, a big news came out of the town. A murderous maniac came to the town. Last night, he rushed to the town and killed a truck driver. Officer Chen Xinran saw it and fought fiercely with the murderer. In the end, he died heroically, and the murderer escaped with injuries.

Director Hou couldn't bear this blow and couldn't afford to fall ill. He applied to his superiors to be transferred out of this sad place.

A new chief took office, the police station was purged, and a large number of police officers were gradually removed and replaced.

The deer was locked in the cellar and starved for three days. She thought she was going to starve to death like this. On the afternoon of the third day, a woman rescued her.

"The little girl really looks good."

She pinched the deer's face and looked at it for a long time, looking very satisfied.

"Come on, I'll take this girl away."

The woman said to the fawn's parents.

Xiao Lu's father was no longer as fierce as usual, but just kept nodding and bowing.

Fawn followed the woman out of nowhere.

The woman asked her, do you want to survive?

Of course Xiaolu thought, she didn't want to live this kind of life of being sent to the altar every day.

The woman told her, follow her, as long as you learn well, you don't need to look at anyone's face in the future.

Xiao Lu followed her to the only hotel in the town, and then suddenly realized that this woman was the owner of the hotel.

"Why did you kill those innocent passers-by?" Xiaolu asked her.

"In order to redeem the soul." The woman's eyes were very fanatical, just like when her parents mentioned sacrifices.

The fawn was afraid of the bugs in the altar, but the woman said that it was a god and should not be afraid of it.

"The current prosperity of the town is brought by the gods. Our town used to be dilapidated and poor. Since the gods came here, we have prospered."

"Although these people captured the teachers of the divine religion decades ago, it doesn't matter. The seeds sown by God have already taken root and sprouted in our land. You see, as long as we give us a little breathing time, we will be able to grow again. developed, and the mayor is our new leader."

Xiaolu didn't understand, she just wanted to live.

But as she got older, Xiao Lu's innocent eyes also began to change. From the day she took over the hotel, her name was Lu Niang.
