Chapter 100 Su Xiaoxiao

Zhuang Ruoyu woke up.

He opened his eyes weakly, looked at Jiang Lingyin, and asked, "You saved me?"

Jiang Lingyin smiled and answered her: "Yes, it's us."

Ye Wenjing couldn't wait to come forward and asked, "Zhuang Ruoyu, tell us about the Heavenly Maiden Festival."

When Zhuang Ruoyu heard the words "Heavenly Maiden Sacrifice", he suddenly burst into laughter.

Shouted: "What kind of Tiannu Festival is this? It's all fake! Everything is fake! It's just a way for those with ulterior motives to make money!"

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing looked at each other, both with surprise and confusion on their faces.

Jiang Lingyin gently comforted Zhuang Ruoyou: "Don't get excited first, tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Zhuang Ruoyu panted heavily, his eyes full of anger and pain: "The so-called Heavenly Maiden Festival is nothing but a lie fabricated by the village bullies and the Holy Envoy.

Every year they choose an innocent girl, saying that she is to be offered as a sacrifice to the gods of the ancient temple, but in fact they use her to extort money from the villagers.

Later, the story of the Heavenly Maiden Festival spread and became more and more outrageous. It was said that it could fulfill all people's wishes.

So many wealthy people and even high-ranking officials came to participate.

All the money went into the pockets of the village chief and his men, while those poor girls lost their lives in vain!"

Ye Wenjing clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "These crazy guys are simply lawless!"

Jiang Lingyin frowned when she heard Zhuang Ruoyu mention the Holy Envoy.

Turning to discuss with Ye Wenjing: "We have been tracking down clues of the Fuhua Society and captured a group of believers for living sacrifice.

According to the believers, it was a holy messenger who contacted them secretly, bewitching them to donate money and organize living sacrifices.

Sacrifice young girls to fulfill their ridiculous wishes."

Ye Wenjing looked solemn and said, "It seems that the Tiannu sacrifice in Xiangyun Village and the living sacrifice of those villains in Juelu Inn are most likely the same group."

Jiang Lingyin nodded slightly, and then continued: "Moreover, it is very likely related to the Fuhua Society. The Fuhua Society has committed many evil deeds and has harmed countless innocent people."

Ye Wenjing clenched his fists and said firmly, "We must root them out this time and not let them do evil again."

Jiang Lingyin looked into the distance with a determined gaze and said, "But the conspiracy behind this is probably more complicated than we imagined. We still need to think carefully."

Ye Wenjing frowned, thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, let's start from Xiangyun Village. Maybe we can find more key clues."

Jiang Lingyin nodded in agreement: "Well, let's first find out the situation here, and then make plans for the next step. When we go back tomorrow, we will meet up with the others and see what they have gained."

Jiang Lingyin asked Zhuang Ruoyou: "Have you ever been chosen as a goddess? How did you survive?"

Zhuang Ruoyu's eyes dimmed instantly, and he said slowly: "Twenty years ago, the goddess chosen at the beginning was indeed me."

Jiang Lingyin asked: "What happened next?"

Zhuang Ruoyu took a deep breath and continued, "Later, the goddess became someone else."

Jiang Lingyin asked anxiously: "Who is it?"

Zhuang Ruoyu was in great pain. He covered his face with his hands, unable to bear the memories.

After a long silence, he spoke with difficulty: "It's my younger brother."

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were both shocked.

Confused, he asked, "Aren't women the only choice for the celestial maiden? Why did you choose your brother?"

Zhuang Ruoyu said in a trembling voice: "Because my brother was a celestial maiden for someone else...so he died."

Jiang Lingyin asked again: "For you?"

Zhuang Ruoyu bit his lip and said, "No, no, I'm working for a wandering doctor named Su Xiaoxiao.

I was the chosen goddess at first, but later Su Xiaoxiao was chosen, and my brother died for her."

At this point, Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing said in unison: "Su Xiaoxiao? Are you sure?"

Zhuang Ruoyu raised his head, his eyes firm: "It is absolutely true, it is Su Xiaoxiao."

Jiang Lingyin frowned and said thoughtfully: "Did Su Xiaoxiao ask your brother to take her place?"

Zhuang Ruoyou shook his head: "No, my brother volunteered."

Zhuang Ruoyu fell into memories...

Zhuang Ruoyu's family were not originally from Xiangyun Village.

It was just because a flash flood hit the place where they originally lived and their houses were destroyed.

Zhuang's father took his twin children, Zhuang Ruoyu and her younger brother, and fled to Xiangyun Village to settle down.

Because there was no doctor in Xiangyun Village, and Zhuang's father was a famous barefoot doctor in the area, Zhuang Ruoyu and his two daughters were admitted to stay.

The village chief also decided to divide the land among the farmers.

Originally, the family of three lived a good life.

Zhuang Ruoyu recalled that time.

There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "Although life was hard back then, it was warm as a family."

Ye Wenjing asked: "What happened next?"

Zhuang Ruoyu sighed and continued, "All the misfortunes happened after I rescued a seriously injured woman while I was collecting herbs in the mountains."

Jiang Lingyin asked curiously: "Who is that woman? Is she related to the Tiannu Festival?"

Zhuang Ruoyu looked solemn: "That woman's name is Su Xiaoxiao.

I rescued her and brought her home, where my father treated her injuries.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxiao, who is about the same age as me, has excellent medical skills and has written many prescriptions for my father.

While she was recuperating at our house, everything was normal at first.

But later, somehow, the Tiannu Festival happened."

Ye Wenjing frowned: "Could it be that Su Xiaoxiao has a direct connection with the Tiannu Festival?"

Zhuang Ruoyou bit her lip and said, “I’m not sure either, but since I saved her, all kinds of strange rumors have started to spread in the village.

They said she came to steal the village treasure and they wanted to kill her.

Not long after, the village said that they were going to hold a celestial maiden festival, and I was chosen by the village chief to be the celestial maiden to be sacrificed alive.

Zhuang Ruoyu said: "As we got along for a long time, we developed feelings for each other. Our family did not think that Su Xiaoxiao came to steal treasures, so I persuaded Su Xiaoxiao to leave the village as soon as possible at night, otherwise she would be in great danger.

But Su Xiaoxiao wanted to take me with her, saying that she couldn’t stand by and watch me being murdered by the ignorant villagers. ”

Zhuang Ruoyu's voice was filled with pain and helplessness, "But I can't bear to abandon my father and brother. Once we leave Xiangyun Village, my father and brother will be homeless again.

As long as they stay in the village, according to my father's reputation, they may be able to spend their old age in peace, so I did not agree to Su Xiaoxiao's request. "

Jiang Lingyin said angrily: "This village chief is too much!"

Ye Wenjing clenched his fists: "This is simply lawless!"

Zhuang Ruoyou continued, “But I don’t know how, one night later, the village chief suddenly said that the goddess had been replaced.

He told the villagers that since Su Xiaoxiao had evil intentions towards the treasures in the ancient temple, they might as well use her to offer sacrifices to the heaven.

So Su Xiaoxiao was treated as a goddess and tied to the altar. "

Zhuang Ruoyu's eyes were full of tears. "I was so scared at the time that I wanted to save her, but was stopped by the villagers. My father said he was afraid that I would cause trouble, so he drugged me."

Ye Wenjing said: "What happened next? Why did your brother..."
