Chapter 1: Tributes
Before dawn, Bai girl awakened from her dream. She rubbed her eyes and saw several villagers pushing in the door, sweeping the father who was “sleeping” on the bed with grass. The mother was crying in a low voice, she jumped out of bed and walked to her mother. The villagers carried their father out without going too far, and dug a pit at the foot of the mountain at the village entrance.
Bai Ya walked to his father who was wrapped in the grass, and reached out his hand to push him, but he did not wake up. She raised her small face, looked at her mother-in-law, and said milkily, “Mother, why isn’t your father still awake?”
Her mother was so speechless that someone told her, “Your father is dead.”
Baiya tilted her head and asked, “What’s the matter with death?” No one spoke, someone lifted her father and put it into the dug pit. Bai girl walked to her mother, and it turned out that she was buried? She whispered, “Mother, we buried Dad so deep. Why did Dad come out when he woke up?”
The crying mother suddenly hugged her and burst into tears. She didn’t know how long she had been crying. Her mother pulled her back, and she looked back at the mound that had already been filled, still ignorant.
As soon as she got home, Mother Yang from the village came to visit. She sat on the threshold, listening only to her mother-in-law whispering to her mother, what was vaguely “In a disaster like this, you have a woman with a child and no food at home. How can you live …” It’s not difficult to get married, but it’s a trouble to bring a child after all … “
She was just over five years old and half understood, but still faintly understood. Mother-in-law Yang left first, and she ran to her mother and grabbed her robe: “Mother, don’t give me away. I’ll go hunting with adults next year, and I will feed you later!”
Her mother hugged her, tears like rain.
More and more people in the village have developed strange diseases, coughing, fever, and blood in their sputum. They will soon die, and then be buried in the soil or burned into a pile of ashes.
The village chief summoned everyone to discuss the matter, saying that the calamity of the heavens would be an act of injustice and angered the mountain god. The villagers have already been scared. Although the Dayan Kingdom is near here, the court has long taken care of itself. If the officials and grandfathers take care of it, they will be afraid that the people in the village are already dead.
It is useless to ask people, it is better to ask God. So the village decided to worship the mountain god.
South of the village is Nanshan, there is a mountain temple, there is a strange hole next to the temple, bottomless. The villagers who entered it never came out again. The ancestors in the village said that the cave was connected to Yincao Difu.
When sacrificing the mountain god, as long as you throw the three animals and five grains into the temple, and throw the boys and girls into the cave, you are at your best. Just good children, who wants to sacrifice God? No one spoke for a long time, the village chief stood taller and looked at the villagers and said, “Choose a child and subsidize one or two dollars.”
Bai Ya held her mother’s hand and stood in the middle of the crowd. She had no idea what it was doing. A child nearby took a wooden stick to play with her. She hid next to her mother and hide-and-seek with her partner. After a while, her mother took her home, and for a long time she put on her new clothes, recombed her hair, and tied a red head rope. She plunged into her mother’s arms: “Mother, when I grow up, I will honor you.”
Mother’s tears dripped into her hair, cold and cold. The door was kicked open with a bang, and the village chief broke in, pulling her out of her mother’s arms and carrying it on her shoulders, the world turned upside down. She waved her hands and feet and shouted, “Mother! Mother!”
The woman covered her face with her hands, her shoulders shook, and she refused to look up. She twisted like a worm: “You lie to me, I hate you!” The mother cried even harder, and the man who carried her pounded her head hard: “Be honest!”
She was in pain, and her tears fell down one after another: “Mother, if my father isn’t dead, he won’t use me for a coin or two, right?” The woman held her head in her hands and cried. She didn’t speak anymore, death was not a good thing, there was no death, no more.
Bai Ya twisted her body desperately, but that strength was completely negligible. Several villagers tied her with a rope, gagged, and picked it with a basket, and went to the mountain temple. The other boy in the same basket was also tied into a twist. Bai girl trembled to talk to him, but he kept crying and didn’t look at her at all.
The village chief and the others did not know what was being said in the mountain temple. The villagers sometimes bowed down and sometimes whispered prayers. Then someone lifted two baskets. Bai girl felt that it was dark before she could scream, and she was dumped into the cave.
Rolling all the way, the boy in front struggled desperately, but his voice was only in his throat. The white girl poke out the futon in her mouth and lowered her head desperately to bite the rope between the boy’s hands. Something was swimming cold in the boy’s body. She asked milkily, “Hey? What are you doing here …”
The boy didn’t answer her, his body began to twitch desperately, and then slowly moved still. Her mouth was covered with blood, and she finally bit open the rope between his hands and pushed him with satisfaction: “Hey, you can move!”
However, the boy didn’t move, and from his collar, a colorful head protruded, and his mouth was spitting letters.
She opened her mouth wide but couldn’t make it. In the boundless darkness, the things swim coldly and slickly in the boy’s body, and they ate his entire body!
When the black wolf dragged her out of the cave, she bit her foot. But she didn’t feel the pain. She just sat idly at the entrance of the cave, looking at the “big black dog” in front of whom she did not know where to run.
The villagers often come to worship, and the wild beasts in the mountains know that there will often be food in this cave. When the black wolf dragged her out of the hole, she was meeting another group of wild wolves.
The one-eyed black wolf wrestled with the pack of wolves. She seemed to suddenly wake up, torn the rope, picked up the villager’s shoulder for carrying the tribute, and played a random mess, shouting: “Hey, you guys, you should bully more What a good guy? Oh no, what a good dog ?! “
The crows on the tree rolled their eyes.
The fierce one-eyed wolf eventually ran away to eat the wolf pack, perhaps full, and did not care about her anymore, but dragged the body of a wild wolf, left here, and went deep into the mountains. She was not afraid, she just glanced at the lonely mountain temple and looked down from here, faintly seeing the village. She sniffs—my father is dead. You do n’t want me to marry for your own sake. I hate you, and I do n’t care about you anymore.
She followed the one-eyed black wolf and went deep into the mountains.
It’s so fun in the mountains, there is no need to do housework, there is no need to grind and sew up, and there is no mother crying all day. She played for a day, and soon it became dark.
Twilight entered the forest, she stood in the forest, there was no light and no sound around. No, there was a voice, those shivering, crawling into the clothes of their companions, patterned, cold … She screamed and cried, holding her head in her hands.
She picks mushrooms that little animals have eaten and fruits that have been bitten by bugs. The one-eyed black wolf lives in a nearby stone cave, surrounded by lush wild roses and hemerocallis.
The one-eyed wolf is fierce and bad, often yelling at her with her teeth, she just thinks that this black dog is fierce, no wonder the owner does not want it. But I am not fierce, and my mother does not want me. She curled up in a nearby stone cave with a dog to look after her house and died.
She grinds the branches into spears and bows with horns and tendons. She learns to make traps, digs out traps made by other hunters, and sees what’s wrong.
It was so fun in the mountains. She had eaten poisonous mushrooms. When she met a tiger, a piece of meat was caught on her leg, and she was squatting on the tree day and night with blood. When she met a snake, she was so scared that she cried, and her voice was dumb for several days.
The night in the mountains is so terrible that even the wind swept the leaves can be heard.
She is afraid of the night, and the sky makes people feel safe.
There are no years in the mountains, but time has passed. She hunted more and more prey, the one-eyed wolf found it, and often secretly dragged her peeled prey into her cave. She was angry, screaming at its nose, and it scolded. Slowly she understood something. Such as warning, such as intimidation, such as retreat, such as calling a companion.
When she learned to hunt wild boars with traps, she already had seven or eight dogs around her. Black, light brown, dark gray, with hair, all colors. Some were following her all the way, and some were too young to lose her mother, and she fed.
These guys will drive the prey into her cloth trap, and then she will peel and take away what she needs. They started eating.
She rescued trappers and hunters trapped in the mountains and showed them the way. Remove weapons such as knives, swords, bows from the dead. Every time she saw the body, she was upset.
But she has been hunting, and there are more and more dogs around, and she needs enough food. The dogs started to follow her, they would not approach, and lay in the grass far away, leaving only two ears to turn occasionally.
On this day, she hunted an adult tiger, the dogs ate meat, and she skinned. There was a sudden rush of horseshoes in the mountain, and a low whining sound came from her mouth, and all the dogs hid in the deep grass.
A group of dozens of people, wearing light armor and white horses, the horses are extremely marvelous horses. Hidden in the rose vine, she saw Hemerocallis spp. Everywhere, wild roses in full bloom, and green grass and flowers.
Yi Yi is flying, he is like a devil’s shadow under the moonlit night, like a wind. The wild horse hissed and startled the wolves. He looked up and looked at him.
“What’s that?” He raised his hand and pointed, dozens of people around him saw a lush flower vine.
The crowd approached here, she hid in the stone cave, someone exclaimed: “Wolf! There are wolves!”
She pulled her bow and arrow and listened carefully for footsteps outside. But there was no footsteps, and the bright light burst in front of her, and she was shocked to see a pretty, almost gorgeous face. The arrow in his hand was off the string, and the man reached out to catch it, dialing a flowering vine, and **** pinched the little her.
“What?” The fluffy ball in his hand looked disgusted, but his voice was very pleasant. At such a close distance, she saw his soft, thin black clothes, different from any material she had seen, with delicate dark lines on it. She wrinkled her nose and smelled a good aroma.
Someone around wasn’t sure: “Child? Or monkey?” Seems like a child?
He looked at her carefully, really dirty, with a distasteful look: “You are now in the east of the mountain, and you are the companion of the sky wolf, so you give the surname left, the name wolf.” He threw her to the guard at random: “With those children, keep it alive.”
The guard had repelled the wolves and caught her by the water for a wash.
At that time, the wild rose was in full swing, the hemerocallis was stretched, the flowers and leaves were in the sky. He stood next to a silver chain-like stream, wiping his hands with silk, his fingers were long, smooth and dazzlingly moist. She lowered her head, and saw a tall, slender figure clearly reflected in the water, with the water ripples wavy in circles.
This man … is it a mountain god?
