Traveler?

Lin Yining's eyes widened instantly as she looked at the girl who was tied up and thrown into the crowd. She looked no more than eleven or twelve years old. Her clothes were covered in mud, her legs were oozing with blood, her hair was disheveled, and her face was swollen and colorless. She raised her head suddenly, and her scarlet eyes stared at the people around her like a mad beast.

Lin Yining was frightened by her eyes and subconsciously hid under her father's chin, but couldn't help but look back at the girl who claimed to be from the future.

"Someone, come and cover this woman's mouth to prevent her from saying any more dirty words." said the patriarch sitting in the middle.

The girl immediately laughed at him, "Are you scared too, you old man? I advise you to let me go, otherwise your whole village will suffer..."

Before she could finish her words, several burly and strong women from the village rushed out, pinned the woman down, slapped her more than ten times, knocked her teeth out, and then took off their stockings and stuffed them into her mouth.

At this time, miserable cries were heard from behind. A woman in rough clothes was supported in. She looked at the woman on the ground and burst into tears again, "Oh, my Ah Xiang, my poor daughter, how could you be possessed by a demon? What should I do in the future..."

"Move Changzhi's family away, don't let this evil woman take advantage of the opportunity to threaten us again." Another elder said.

The chief looked at the tribesmen who were watching with sharp eyes. "Youngest, you say."

Lin Yining saw a middle-aged man walk out of the crowd, shout "Dad" to the clan leader, and then began to narrate what happened. She then realized that this girl had traveled through time a few days earlier than she did, and when she traveled through time, she let the cat out of the bag, scaring her original mother.

"A Xiang can't read a single word, how could she get up in the middle of the night to draw in the yard?" The girl's mother was so scared that she lost her mind, especially when she saw the words that had not been erased yet, she went straight to the village to find a fortune teller.

This witch was quite capable. She glanced at Ah Xiang from a distance and said directly, "Your daughter looks dead. The death on her face has not yet disappeared."

These words directly frightened the woman to death.

"This, this, what should I do?"

The witch took Ah Xiang's birth date and was about to calculate it with her fingers, and then she was taken to the elders by other villagers.

Although Linjia Village is just a village, it is a well-known village of scholars. If there is a boy in the family, he must be sent to the clan school to start learning. Whether he can learn to read or not, he must learn. Therefore, in the generation of Lin Yining's father, there were more than a dozen students and seven or eight scholars. Although no one has entered the official career for so many years, the development has been booming and the family has been moving towards a big trend.

There must be no mistakes at this time.

But Changzhi's family was ignorant and asked a witch from the next village to come. She knelt in front of the elders and begged for forgiveness in tears, "I also love my daughter so much that I asked a witch to come and see my daughter."

The fortune teller was also frightened by this attitude, but she said something with reason and evidence and she definitely couldn't be wrong, so she even swore a solemn oath.

The elders had to take this seriously. Some believed in ghosts and some didn't. This young elder had also heard of it. He accidentally fell into the water a few days ago and was rescued by a young man and sent back home. Fortunately, the young man was only seven years old, otherwise Ah Xiang's reputation would be affected. But I didn't expect that she would still have an unusual incident.

The elders of the clan sent the witch back and gave her a sum of money to keep her quiet. Then they sent a few tight-lipped women to test Ah Xiang, and it turned out that there was indeed something fishy going on.

But this is not a reason to kill Ah Xiang. There have been inexplicably crazy people since ancient times. One more Ah Xiang is not a big deal. Linjia Village can accommodate her.

However, Ah Xiang inadvertently said something treasonous during the test, casually interfering in the decision of the current emperor. Speech crime is a serious crime and the nine generations of the clan will be executed.

The Lin Family Village would never allow this traitor to live, and would not let her leave to harm the tribe members.

Lin Yining didn't know about these things, but she felt that the ancients were not as ignorant as described in the books and could not find the time travelers. She, the time traveler No. 2, was shaking uncontrollably in her father's arms, while the time traveler No. 1 had been beaten to a pulp by the villagers.

But this time traveler is also stupid. How can he come here and say that he is the reincarnation of a goddess, and even perform magic tricks for her mother? Isn't this courting death?

Fortunately, she was wearing a child's leather jacket, so she could pretend to be a child, and whatever she said would be taken as innocent. Lin Yining subconsciously clasped her father's neck again.

Lin Yuzan moved his neck uncomfortably, and looking at his daughter's cautious and timid appearance, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

The head of the village stood in the crowd and made excuses that had been discussed long ago. The truth had already been swallowed by several elders.

The neighboring village also privately deals with many people with bad morals throughout the year, and they haven't dealt with many people in all these years.

"You all saw what Lin Axiang did just now. Do you have any objections?" asked the clan leader.

No one spoke.

The patriarch called out "Changzhi" again.

Ah Xiang's father looked at his almost insane daughter, shed tears, shook his head at the clan leader, and supported his wife away.

Lin Yining stared blankly at the two people's backs as they left. Didn't she want the daughter she gave birth to anymore?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Yuzan whispered a few words to the grandfather of the second clan and left with his daughter in his arms.

Lin Yining lay on her father's shoulder, looking back stupidly. A chill covered her bones, making her speechless. She watched the girl named Ah Xiang being tied to the cross outside, watched the sparks from the haystack turn into a raging fire, watched Ah Xiang scream desperately until she was dying, and watched the surrounding villagers applaud.

"Don't let me possess this era again, otherwise I will destroy Linjia Village, and you murderers will never escape." Ah Xiang's voice was like the abyss, carrying a terrifying hatred, and rang out in the flames.

Lin Yuzan stopped, turned around and looked at the fire with a frown, his eyes flickering and no one knew what he was thinking.

Lin Yining's trembling voice rang in his ears, "Dad, why are they killing people?"

Lin Yuzan reached out and stroked his daughter's cold forehead, his eyes looking at her as if he knew everything. "The world cannot tolerate demons, they deserve to be killed."

"She's not a demon!"

She was born into this world by accident, just like her. If she was exposed one day, she would be tied to a rack and burned to death.

Lin Yuzan half-closed her eyes, hiding the strange color in them, and said with a low laugh, "Qing Jie'er has seen it wrong. She is a demon, different from you."

"If she had hidden well, she would have lived in peace for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, she couldn't hide for even a day. Sister Qing is smarter than her and should be able to tell the difference."

Lin Yining was startled instantly and looked at his father in shock.

Lin Yuzan no longer looked at her. He hummed a country song, patted her back, and walked slowly along the path in the country.

This quiet path leads to her current home at one end and to the ancestral temple where the murder took place at the other end.

A gust of cold wind blew by, carrying with it the bitter smell of burnt flesh. Lin Yining shuddered again. This was the ancient times, a place where people regarded human life as worthless.
