Chapter 173 The last girl in the village
With the two of them bickering back and forth, the heavy atmosphere finally relaxed a little.
Finally, I slowly returned to the theme, "Then the old man and the young man came to the village and set up a miasma for the village?"
Dongsheng nodded.
"But what's the reason? A magician will never act without a reason."
There was a trace of reminiscence in Dongsheng's eyes, "The village chief told the villagers at that time that the miasma was set up so that the master could solve the problem of the village not being able to give birth to girls."
Shen Dinghai jumped out, "What does the miasma that can make people faint have to do with not being able to give birth to a girl! That old guy is definitely talking nonsense!"
Dongsheng smiled sadly, "You're right. Later, when I grew up, I realized how ridiculous this explanation was."
"The existence of those miasma should be just to better trap the girls who were abducted into the village..."
Shen Dinghai couldn't bear it anymore, "What kind of magician is this with corrupt moral character! Wouldn't he feel bad about sleeping at night by performing such a harmful magic?!"
Dongsheng's eyes were full of confusion, "Maybe the village chief used other reasons to deceive the master...The master is omnipotent and will not do anything harmful to others."
Shen Dinghai was stunned when he heard this, "Who instilled this wrong idea into you!"
"Wouldn't capable people harm others? That's completely wrong! It's scary when capable people harm others!"
Dongsheng blinked in confusion, "Is that so?"
"Of course it is!" Shen Dinghai hated the iron. "This master has united with the village chief to harm you like this! You actually think the master is a good person?!"
Ran Ran patted Shen Dinghai comfortingly, "You can speak normally, but second nephew, you'd better not be so excited."
"Dongsheng, please continue, besides the miasma, are there any other magical things in the village?"
"No, in fact, even the miasma didn't seem very magical to us at first, because people in our village can come and go freely without being affected by the miasma."
Dongsheng lowered his eyes, "Until I met Yunxiang...at the beginning, she thought about running away..."
"She did try this. Once she prepared for a long time, and she set the time to escape when a festival was held in the village... It was a very, very grand festival, and even unlucky people like me could participate."
"Yunxiang escaped."
After Dongsheng said this, he didn't speak again for a long time, as if he had lost all courage.
Ran Ran noticed that she trembled obviously when she mentioned the word "festival".
Shen Dinghai looked forward to it, "Yunxiang escaped, what happens next?"
Dongsheng smiled sadly, "Isn't the result obvious..."
"I avoided the festival in the village. At the entrance of the village, I saw Yunxiang returning to the village again and again under the influence of the miasma. The expression on her face changed from happiness that she thought she could escape, to fear, and finally to fear. become……"
What Dongsheng didn't want to say, Ranran completed it for her.
"A heart filled with despair."
"Yes, Yunxiang has never thought about escaping again."
Dongsheng took a deep breath with tears in her eyes, as if this could make up for the courage she had lost in her body.
"She waited so long for an opportunity. She thought that when the people who were usually responsible for watching over her went to drink and watch the fun, she could take the opportunity to escape..."
Ran Ran took over the words indifferently, "However, the lax defense is not an opportunity, but a manifestation of Gude Village's full confidence in the existence of Miasma."
"They never thought Yunxiang could escape."
"She is an outsider cursed by this village."
Ran Ran couldn't help but tighten her palms, "But you are not, you can obviously take her away."
Shen Dinghai's face was full of pain, "This is really the best opportunity! You can secretly take Yunxiang out of the village, and then return to the village without anyone noticing. Anyway, everyone in the village is drinking and having fun together, and there is no one else." Will find out.”
This time Dongsheng didn't open her mouth to defend herself, and there was only a look of dejection on her face.
As Ran Ran got closer, he heard her murmuring something. "It's too late...it's too late..."
"What's too late?"
Dongsheng's black eyes regained some brilliance under Ranran's gaze.
"In the village, I am the only person who can talk to Yunxiang. She may have thought that I was different from the people in the village. She would beg me and beg me to help her escape. She would even tell me The plan she prepared, I just need to help her in certain aspects.”
"But every time I heard it, I would run away in fear. As time passed, Yunxiang could see me clearly."
"I am no different from the men in the village."
"She didn't reveal anything to me during the festival. She must have thought clearly that there is no one in the village she can rely on."
"She has to escape alone."
Shen Dinghai frowned when he heard this, "Then how did you know that Yunxiang would escape that day?"
"I hit it by mistake..."
Ranran suddenly said, "Did the two masters come to the village festival?"
Dongsheng was stunned, "Yes, Master Ruan seems to be here."
Ran Ran frowned slightly, looking at Dongsheng with suspicion flashing in her eyes, "Is it really a mistake?"
She didn't allow Dongsheng to argue and said directly: "You said before that you haven't really come into contact with the two masters, and your attitude towards the masters is positive..."
"It's hard to hold a festival that everyone can participate in. This is obviously a good opportunity for you to meet the master. Why didn't you go?"
Dongsheng fell into silence, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of something.
Ran Ran had no intention of letting her go, "Dongsheng, why are you avoiding the festival!"
Dongsheng covered his head in pain, "Don't ask, please..."
Surprise flashed in Shen Dinghai's eyes. He didn't expect that Dongsheng would still want to hide it from them at this time.
Ran Ran took a deep breath: "Have you forgotten what you promised us?" She said word by word, "You have to tell us everything you know."
There was a plea in Dongsheng's black eyes, "But this matter has nothing to do with Yunxiang. Aren't we going to save Yunxiang and everyone in the village?"
"Even if we don't know about this, we can still..."
Shen Dinghai interrupted Dongsheng with a cold face, "You are so dishonest and you still expect us to fulfill our promise? Besides, my cousin has never promised you to save Yunxiang."
"After all, what happens in Good Village has nothing to do with us!"
"We can just finish our own business and leave directly!" After Shen Dinghai finished speaking sternly, he couldn't help but mutter.
"I just said that this kid is not a good person, and my cousin is so cruel to me because of him..."
As soon as Dongsheng heard the word "leave", he immediately panicked, "You can't leave! If you leave Good Village, there will really be no hope!"
Shen Dinghai had exhausted his patience, so he just spoke with a cold face.
"So are you going to say it or not?"
"I said...I said..." Dongsheng curled up on the ground like a sinner.
"The reason I avoided the festival was because I was the one to die!"
Dongsheng seemed to have finally found an outlet to vent his anger, and said hurriedly: "The village festival is not to celebrate a harvest or other happy events, but a massacre!"
"Bleeding, cutting, burning! They killed a man at the festival!"
"Kill who?"
Dongsheng's voice was as soft as if it was about to disappear.
"They thought she was the last girl in the village."
