Lijia Village is actually a very complex village. At least, in Licunzheng's eyes, their Lijia Village actually hides countless darkness.

Before becoming a village chief, Li Cunzheng was an ordinary young man in the village. When he was young, he played and played with the children in other villages. When he reached age, he began to go to the clan school and learn etiquette. Then he followed the gentlemen in the clan to study in other towns and get fame.

After failing the exam repeatedly, Li Cunzheng was too old and no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to study, so he returned to the village. Instead, he was attracted by the previous village and pushed him to become a new village and started to do business for the village. This made Li Cunzheng feel that life is another village, so he should be in a good position in the village and repay the village.

But Li Cunzheng did not expect that the village he saw on weekdays was not so beautiful.

The previous village chief retired after only ten years of work. Li Cunzheng had not understood why. But when he first stepped into the ancestral hall and listened to the lectures and tasks assigned by the head of the Li family, Li Cunzheng then understood why the previous village chief arrested him and took the position.

I couldn't stand it anymore and was in a hurry to find someone to take the burden! And he happened to meet the request of the patriarchs and was attracted by the previous Mumamasa!

Poor he is still glad he has always been...

After that, Li Cunzheng learned for the first time that several people died in the village every year, and these people were almost all a whole household and several people.

For the first time, Li Cunzheng knew that there was a forest in the west of their village that was not allowed to enter and exit, and there was always a rotten smell floating everywhere, which was unbearable.

Only then did Li Cunzheng realize that there was actually a disease in their village that was deliberately raised! And the people raised were the people in the ancestral hall in the village that were respected by all the villagers! And after they developed this disease, they wanted to spread the disease...

Li Cunzheng didn't understand why at that time, so he asked the head of the Li family.

At the beginning, the head of the Li family did not want to tell him what he meant, and just said that he would just look at the village! After asking a few more times, Li Cunzheng got an answer. The head of the Li family said that it was because there were medicines for curing this disease in their village. As long as the disease became a disaster, they could sell medicines so that the villagers in the entire village could live a good life!

Li Cunzheng didn't understand why the patriarch planned like this and exchanged the lives of countless people for this wealth!

But the head of the Li family took out a piece of paper and showed it to Li Cunzheng, and told him that it was left by his ancestors. There were not many things written on the paper, but the meaning was a bit terrifying!

It was a prophecy, which said that the Lijia Village settled in this place, and the reason why their descendants could prosper was because the ancestors made a covenant with the mountain god, and the year and month agreed on in the covenant were about to come. When the time came, their Lijia Village needed to sign a new alliance with the mountain god, and they also needed to sacrifice first!

And these lives killed by the epidemic can become sacrifices of the mountain god.

Li Cun didn't believe this reason.

Mountain God? If their Lijia Village really has a covenant with the mountain god and asks for protection from the mountain god, how could it be that in their village, there has never been a ceremony to worship the mountain god for so many years? There is no such legend. Could it be that if this alliance with the mountain god, I would not have to thank you for hundreds of years?

Moreover, how can the life that has been spread and killed become a sacrifice?

Li Cunzheng couldn't understand these! But the head of the Li family did not need him to figure it out. He just told Li Cunzheng seriously that the village has been preparing for this matter over the years! Now that things are ready, how can we give up halfway? What's more, it also concerns the fate of the entire village. Could it be that Li Cunzheng is going to destroy and betray the entire village? Is he worthy of the support of the village for so many years? Is he worthy of the family?

Once such a burden was suppressed, Li Cunzheng didn't dare to resist at all.

Thinking of the cannibalistic gaze of the head of the Li family and others looking at him, Li Cunzheng was also very worried about his family, so he could only grit his teeth and respond.

However, he still thought about everything too naively.

Later, he discovered that in their village, in fact, they had to sacrifice human lives every year, even every month. And this human life was sacrificed in the woods west of the village! And the rotten smell that never dissipated all year round was actually the smell of the rotten bodies of the corpses of the sacrificed villagers.

Li Cunzheng didn't dare to think too much, and he didn't dare to get close to the woods. Whenever there was anything about it, Li Cunzheng responded vaguely. If he could leave it to the head of the Li family and others for arrangements, he would never say anything more. He just pretended that he didn't know anything.

But more and more people are offering sacrifices, and those who are used to recuperate are also consuming very quickly. It is impossible to always use the lives of the villagers in their village. If this is the end, how many living places can they have in their Lijia Village, right?

So, the head of the Li family told Li Village to start sending people out of the village to attract some foreign merchants or travelers to their village and entertained them enthusiastically. After investigating the background, he locked the people in the forest to the west, and saw that they were sick and died in the end...

In the end, after the head of the Li family said that the time was right, the epidemic was taken away by someone and sent it out from Lijia Village...

Those who were suffering from the epidemic were full of hope to go out. They were promised that they would come back and get the medicine after walking around! However, none of the people who went out came back, and their families were found to be infected soon after, and then sent to the woods to the west...

There were more and more empty houses in the village, and more and more villagers disappeared. Gradually, some people discovered it and began to look for Li Village to ask about the news, which made him wake up and ask about the medicine. Since the epidemic has spread like the plan of the patriarch and others in Biyang, the villagers in their village should be saved! Not to mention, some villagers who are not planning have been infected for no reason, and they should have received medicine to cure it!

However, Li Cun was holding hope, but what he got was a blow like an abyss.

The medicine in the clan leader's hand was gone without knowing when...
Chapter completed!
