After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

But he was discovered by the divine servant.

The divine attendant said that this was the mountain god helping the boys and girls to open their acupoints so that they could communicate with the gods in the future, and he would disturb them if he went in rashly.

Xu Shan didn't dare to offend the divine servant, so he could only pretend to leave. In fact, he hid further away, hoping to find an opportunity to rush into the cave and rescue his daughter tomorrow.

As a result, at dawn, he saw two gods' servants coming out of the cave, carrying two large sacks on their backs.

The big sack was stained with blood. Xu Shan felt something was wrong and followed him subconsciously.

Then, it was discovered that the priests threw the large sacks into the river.

Only after they left did Xu Shan dare to go into the water to fish out the sack.

In one of the sacks was his daughter.

But his daughter's heart was taken out, her stomach was cut open, and one of her eyes was gouged out.

Xu Shan was angry and shocked, but he still had his sanity. He quietly took his daughter's body back and buried it.

He went to the god's servant openly and said that he wanted to see his daughter.

But they said that the girl had been taken away by the mountain god and was no longer a mortal. The bond between father and daughter was severed, and the girl would practice with the mountain god.

Xu Shan was furious. He went to report to the police, but he couldn't see the county magistrate at all. Only a clerk came out and sent him away.

The document said that he gave his daughter to the mountain temple for money, which was equivalent to selling a person.

That girl belongs to the mountain temple, and she has to listen to her no matter what she wants to do.

Xu Shan had no choice but to endure it.

Because he has a wife, a paralyzed mother in bed, and three sons.

But since then, he believed in the mountain god on the surface, but secretly observed the gods' messengers.

After that, there were two more human sacrifices. He watched secretly and it was still the same cave, with screams and blood-stained sacks being thrown away.

He fished out all the sacks, which were filled with the mutilated bodies of children.

As soon as he said this, it quickly spread throughout Puliu Town, and the people in the town were all shocked.

Many people find it incredible.

The mountain god has protected them for many years. How could its messenger do such a thing?

Others analyzed it.

Xu Shan said that the boys and girls were tortured to death, some of them had their hearts missing, some had their ears bitten off, etc.

This seems to coincide with the dreams of several noble gentlemen?

It's so weird.

How could the nobles dream of human sacrifice?

Several families even secretly approached Xu Shan because their children had been chosen to be boys or girls.

Originally, these families had an illusion that their child, whose body was nowhere to be found after death, had really gone to cultivate immortality with the mountain god.

Unexpectedly, the result was like this. They wanted to take back the child's body.

Among these people was Widow Cao.

Widow Cao was taken to a small area of ​​solitary graves. There were six graves in total, but no tombstones.

There is a small area at the foot of the mountain that looks very desolate.

Xu Shan gave her a small wooden sword that was found on the body of a little boy.

Widow Cao clenched her fist tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

In fact, she had known for a long time that the child was dead.

Others may have fantasies, but Widow Cao is different.

She thought that if the mountain god was really that powerful, her man would not have died when he was opening the mountain.

What kind of god would need human virgins? Couldn't they just take in a few monsters from the mountains?

So she doesn't believe in mountain gods.

The moment she sent the child away, she knew he had no chance of survival.

But she had no choice. With her husband gone, the family lost its pillar and also its source of income.

Mountain people have no land, so she doesn't even have the option of farming and raising children.

She could only calculate and move forward cautiously, abandoning the sick child in exchange for some money to gain hope of survival for the remaining children.

Widow Cao cried her heart out.

"Cong'er, I'm sorry for you."

She almost fell to the ground.

The helplessness and difficulties I felt at the time, as well as the guilt and uneasiness I felt over the years, all came to my mind.

In a trance, she seemed to be back to that day.

"Mom, cough cough cough, I want to eat an egg, can I?" The little man was lying on the couch, his coughing made him bend over and almost curl up into a ball.

Wait until Widow Cao brings up the egg custard.

Cao Xiaocong ate it carefully, one bite after another.

But right after he finished eating, he couldn't help but hold his stomach.

With a "vomit" sound, he vomited all over the floor.

Widow Cao patted his back.

"Cong'er, what's wrong? Did you eat too fast?"

Cao Xiaocong finally managed to stop feeling nauseous and gave his mother a sweet smile.

"Mother, please send me to be a boy."

"I'm always sick. I can't go out and play, and I can't eat good food. It's so miserable."

"Mom, after I become a boy with the mountain god, will my health improve?"

"Mother, please send me off. I know I've been chosen. When I become a servant of the mountain god, I will protect my family and my brothers and sisters."

There is hope, reluctance and relief in the eyes of children of a few years old.

Widow Cao didn't know what to say for a moment, and tears kept falling.

"Silly child, the mountain god, the mountain god..."

There were some things she didn't know how to say.

Cao Xiaocong threw himself into his mother's arms.

"Mom, I won't live long anyway, please let me try."

This sentence finally made Widow Cao make a decision.

She dressed her son in his cleanest clothes and new shoes.

She carried her son on her back and went to the mountain temple step by step, handing him over to the god's servant.

Widow Cao will never forget that the last time she saw her youngest son, he was still smiling.

He was just laughing when he suddenly coughed up blood. His condition became serious again.

Widow Cao came down the mountain in a daze and arrived at the door of the drugstore, thinking about getting some medicine for her child.

But she didn't go in after all.

The doctor had said long ago that this child would be difficult to raise. If he was born in a wealthy family and had to take tonics every day, he could only be raised to the age of twelve at most.

What's more, she was such a loser as a mother, giving away her own flesh and blood...

Widow Cao cried so hard that she almost died.

Not far away, Xu Shan's eyes also turned red.

He had three sons, but only one little girl was born.

Other families value sons, but he values ​​daughters.

His daughter was so sensible that even if she had a piece of candy, she would leave half for him. Unlike his third son, no matter how much he gave, it would never be enough for him to eat.

But his daughter was chosen to be a virgin, and he didn't want to.

The clan members and the village chief came to persuade him, but they failed to convince him and threatened to drive his family out of the village.

My mother and wife were the first to be unable to bear the pressure.

They took the money.

Xu Shan felt very bad. He watched his daughter crying so miserably and being taken away, and he was helpless.

Because if he stops me, I will threaten him with suicide.

He had no choice between his mother and his daughter, but he felt sorry for his daughter after all.

Over the years, he often burned paper for his daughter, hoping that she would be born into a good family in her next life.
