Wang Hei glanced coldly at Dongsheng's mother, whose eyes were white. The man behind him noticed this look and immediately started shouting.
"Don't think you can escape! Wait until the village chief comes back from his work and appoints you to be dealt with! Wait!"
Wang Hei left with the man, and this time their footsteps were even more hurried than when they came.
As soon as they left, Dongsheng's tense body immediately relaxed. She stretched out her hand towards the black cat, and the black cat jumped down from the tree lightly.
The black cat that speaks human language does not make a "meow" sound, but walks gently towards Dongsheng.
The plum blossom-like furry paws stepped on the ground silently.
Dongsheng laughed, bent down and hugged him, acting coquettishly with the black cat in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you, Lord Black Cat!"
The black cat swung its tail impatiently, and Dongsheng immediately let go of it knowingly, letting it crawl onto her shoulders nimbly. She just stared at the cat as it walked into the small courtyard.
I looked back at my mother, who had already begun to carefully peel the green beans in her hand.
Dongsheng felt a sense of peace seemed to flow through her body. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the black cat's soft fur. The black cat's eyes were slightly closed, which seemed to be comfortable.
"Don't call me like that idiot in the future, I'm not used to it."
"Okay." Dongsheng responded in a low voice, "Then do you think Big Fool and the others will succeed? After my mother heard about me going to the back mountain with them, she seemed to believe them."
Black Cat was silent for a while.
"I want to believe it too."
Dongsheng nodded solemnly, "I believe it too!" Her eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, and the black cat stared at them for a long time.
"Let's go to the back mountain too."
Dongsheng was puzzled, "What are we going to do?"
"Maybe there's something we can do to help."
The black cat moved closer to Dongsheng's cheek, and the soft fur pressed against the side of Dongsheng's face, making her unable to help but laugh.
"You make me so itchy like this. Is this what the big man said when he came to the village? Black cat, why didn't you do it with me before?"
Black Cat did not answer, but repeated the question again.
"Shall we go to the back mountain?"
Dongsheng opened her bright black eyes, and she showed her most real and natural appearance at this time. She didn't know why Black Cat was obsessed with this question, and she didn't know how much price she would have to pay after telling the answer.
"If there's really something we can do to help, go ahead."
The black cat gave a soft "hmm" and looked at the gradually darkening sky. It curled up peacefully on the shoulder of the human it liked.
This should be what humans call happiness.
When Wang Hei rushed to the back mountain with a torch, he saw only a large number of people.
He had never seen so many people in the back mountain. Almost all the men and women in the village were here, and they were clearly divided into two groups.
The man was facing down the mountain, with the mountain at his back, and the shrine was firmly protected behind them.
The woman faced the shrine, her eyes that had experienced many vicissitudes of life were burning with firm belief, and the light was more dazzling than the torch.
Wang Hei squeezed through the crowd and immediately understood what "rebellion" meant before.
As he walked through the crowd of women, every woman he passed looked at him with resentful eyes. The most important thing was...
They all had sharp weapons in their hands.
Some were daggers, some were scissors, and some were simply thin silver needles.
These sharp weapons reflected the torch held in Wang Hei's hand.
Wang Hei instantly became the target of public criticism.
He walked into the crowd of men with such eyes and broke into a cold sweat unconsciously.
"What you told me to do has been done, and those three people ran away." Wang Hei was still staring at the women when he said this.
He never dared to take his attention away from a woman because of fear, and he never used the four words "staring at her with eager eyes" to describe a woman.
But these have now become a reality. "What do they want to do?"
The village chief, who was guarded by several strong men, said sadly: "First they rushed up to ask the men to stop chanting, and then they asked the men to leave the back mountain!"
"They also talked a lot of useless nonsense! I really don't know what they want to do!"
A load of crap? The purpose of the action was so clear, could it be that he already knew the truth... Wang Hei's eyes flashed.
But how do these stupid women know...
The village chief, an old fox, was definitely thinking faster than him. Wang Hei instantly thought of the situation when the village chief asked him to see three outsiders.
So it's them? Those two adults and that girl doll? It only took one day to discover the secret behind Good Village and plan a rebellion of all the women in the village?
absurd!
Wang Hei roared like thunder.
"Shui Gu! Come out!"
The quickest way to break up an alliance is to split off a small part of it.
"Shui Gu! Come out and I won't care about today's matter with you!" Wang Hei shouted loudly, but no one responded to him.
All he could see were the angry eyes of women, they all looked the same, and he couldn't find Shui Nv.
And Shui Gu was among the crowd.
Except when her name was called by Wang Hei at the beginning, her body couldn't help but tremble. After that, she no longer even trembled out of fear out of habit.
"We are not making trouble unreasonably, and we are not talking nonsense. From the beginning to the end, we have only one demand - to drive you away from the temple!"
The group of men became restless.
"This is the shrine for everyone in Gude Village. Why do you drive us away, you bunch of crazy women! They must all be sick today!"
"Really speaking of ownership, the bricks and tiles of this shrine were originally built by men from earlier generations in the village. Why do you drive men away!"
The sky was getting dark, and the torch in Wang Hei's hand became the only light in the hazy night.
It has reached the point where men and women in the village change shifts.
The men all picked up the torches they carried with them and lit them, and the flames gradually lit up in the forest.
This light illuminated their ferocious faces and also reflected the women's firm gazes.
"Now is the time!"
Someone among the women shouted, a very penetrating sound.
The women all raised their sharp weapons and stared at the men.
Horror gradually appeared on the men's faces, "This is outrageous! What do you want to do?!"
The women were unmoved and cut off their left wrists without hesitation.
Blood gushes out and falls onto the brown soil.
This is a land where thousands of innocent souls are buried.
"Our God, we need you, we need you to come."
"You are the boundless wind, you are the angry rainstorm, you are the purple lightning, you are the trembling thunder."
"You are us."
"Only you can save us, only we can save ourselves."
The women chanted in unison. They gradually bent down and prostrated on the ground, pressing their foreheads against the soil and letting the blood seep into the soil.
The men looked on in horror.
Looking at the women kneeling devoutly in front of them, they knew it very clearly.
This time the women were not kneeling at them, but at the shrine behind them.
For a time, the small Gude Village was turbulent. (End of chapter)
