I really don't want to be a teacher

In the sky after the rain, the sun shines through the clouds, swaying towards the wet road and forest again.

As one person and one mouse moved forward without haste, the road gradually dried out. Although the oncoming wind still had a bit of mountain atmosphere, it lacked some moisture in the air.

……

"Wow..."

Walking to a bend in the winding mountain road, Lian Ge slightly stomped his feet, and a car passed by Lian Ge quickly after passing the bend.

Standing at the beginning of the curve, Lian Ge looked forward.

On the side is the turning point of the mountain road leading to the other direction, and in front of him is the hill beside the road.

As if it had been excavated, the hill appeared steep, and the slope leading to the top of the mountain was more like a wall in front of you.

The bottom of the hillside is artificially reinforced to prevent landslides, and the top of the hillside is a shrub forest growing tightly on the soil. Between the two, there is exposed yellow soil.

Standing beside the road, along the hillside, Lian Ge raised his head slightly and looked up.

Lian Ge paused slightly until his gaze seemed to pass over the hill blocking his eyes.

……

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge turned his head and glanced at the little white mouse.

The little white mouse immediately put down its forelimb knowingly, and its paws tightly grasped the clothes on Lian Ge's shoulders.

Seeing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to the steep hill in front of him again.

Looking at the almost vertical hills, Lian Ge carried and drove the mana in his body, and jumped up,

Under the influence of mana, Lian Ge directly crossed the artificially reinforced section at the top of the hillside, and stepped on a rock firmly embedded in the hill.

After a slight pause, he lifted up and jumped again, just like leaves rising against the wind, he crossed the exposed hill with a few steps, stepped on a few clods of mud, splashed a burst of mud dust, and was swept away by the mountain wind. blow off.

Afterwards, Lian Ge stepped on a bush that was gripping the soil.

Looking at the slowing hillside in front of him, Lian Ge smiled slightly, moved away, and walked towards the hill in front of him facing the luxuriant forest.

Then, the road behind was gradually left behind.

……

"Whoa..."

"Chirp..."

On the ground, the roots of the trees are intertwined, and in front of them, dense branches and dense leaves block the way.

Pulling aside the branches and leaves blocking the way forward, listening to the sounds of insects and birds lingering in my ears from time to time, one person and one mouse pass through the dense forest that blocks the sun,

After going downhill several times and going uphill several times, after crossing several hills, the surrounding area becomes more and more quiet, and there are few people around, only the sound of insects and birds is still ringing.

It's getting closer to evening,

After the rain, the sun, which broke free from the clouds and swayed the sun to the ground, has also turned into the setting sun and is constantly approaching the horizon.

Under the cover of heavy branches and dense leaves, the mountain forest, which has been covered with most of the sunlight, looks even darker.

"Whoa..."

After crossing another hill and standing on the top of the hill, Lian Ge stopped his feet again.

Behind him, there is still a dense forest, but in front of him, there is a clear divide, no matter how difficult it is to see a few standing trees,

Down the top of the hill, there are layers of terraced fields, and some crops are planted on the terraced fields.

Further down is the foot of the mountain,

At the foot of the mountain is a valley surrounded by mountains that are also covered with terraced fields.

The bottom of the valley is slightly flat, and there are trees and buildings gathered in it, forming a village.

On the hill on the right, a meandering river flows out from the hillside, passes through the entire village, flows out from the left, passes through the foot of the hill on the left, and stretches away.

Looking at the meandering river, Lian Ge paused slightly.

In the valley, most of the buildings in the village are built along the meandering river, and the direction that the river flows is the rolling Yellow River.

Under the eyes of the sky, the entire village was haunted by a strong yin and resentment, but it seemed to be blocked by a barrier, blocking most of the grievance and yin from outside the village.

Looking at the village, Lian Ge paused slightly on the top of the hill,

"Let's go and have a look."

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge moved his footsteps again, facing the setting sun that was about to fall into the horizon, and walked towards the village at the foot of the mountain, in the valley.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Raising its forelimbs, the little white mouse also looked at the village at the foot of the mountain and barked twice.

"Yeah... It's quite dirty. How can it not be dirty if it hides filth."

Looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, Lian Ge said softly while moving his steps.

While speaking, Lian Ge used his mana to cast an invisibility spell on himself and the little white mouse.

……

Along with the ridges on the terraced fields, Lian Ge descended slowly, the sunlight from the setting sun was blocked by the surrounding mountains, and it became darker but clearer in front of his eyes.

This is not a small village, and there are at least a hundred households in the buildings lined up in forests.

The buildings are similar to the villages I saw before, either with red bricks and black tiles, or with rocky loess grass roofs,

But under the eyes of the sky, it is quite different.

Going down the terraced fields and bypassing the village, Lian Ge walked to the entrance of the village in the valley.

……

At the entrance of the village, Lian Ge slightly stamped his feet.

The river passing through the whole village is beside him. The river channel is relatively wide. In the channel nearly ten meters wide, the river gurgles towards the outside of the village.

Perhaps because of the terrain, the water flow is not too fast, but the water volume is sufficient, and the water is still clear, but the bottom cannot be seen.

Looking at the wide and deep river, Lian Ge paused slightly.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge turned his gaze and looked at the two figures beside him.

I saw that it was beside Lian Ge, at the entrance of the village.

The two circles lingered, breeding resentment, and the shadowy figure stood there, looking straight at the village in front of him.

The bodies of the two figures are a little swollen, the skin on the wrists is a little off, and the skin on their faces is a little rotten.

Although there are no ropes on his hands, they are still tied behind his back.

His face was grim and painful, as if he wanted to rush into the village, but was blocked by the village's barrier.

And among the two figures, one of them was the female corpse that Lian Ge had seen on the Yellow River before.

Looking at these two figures, Lian Ge paused slightly.

Moving his steps, Lian Ge walked into the village.

Chapter 208 Don't Feed Her

The barrier that prevented the ghost from entering did not stop Lian Ge's pace, and with one step, Lian Ge stepped into the village.

The roads in the village, like building houses, are built along the river that runs through the entire village.

Along the road in the village, Lian Ge moved slowly, walking forward without haste.

In the village, it seemed very quiet, and there was not a single person to be seen on the village road.

Only the lingering wind, from time to time, spread the whispers of the villagers in the houses to Lian Ge's ears, proving that this is not a deserted village.

Lifting his head slightly, Lian Ge glanced above his head.

Although the barrier covering the village blocked most of the yin and resentment, there was still a lot of yin, like passing through a filter, soaking into the barrier, lingering and spreading in the village.

Step by step, Lian Ge looked at the buildings with closed doors and windows beside the road, and walked towards the center of the village with a trace of yin in front of him.

"...It should be again today..."

"...As long as today's ceremony is completed, the village will be able to..."

Listening to the happy or sad voices in the houses, Lian Ge walked to the center of the village without haste.

……

In the center of the village is a small square, and the center is surrounded by a pond dug out by the river that passes through the village.

The upstream river flows into the pond, and then flows out of the village along with the downstream river of the pond.

Next to the river upstream of the pond, there is a tree with deep roots and lush leaves, which seems to be a place for ordinary villagers to enjoy the shade.

But at this moment, a person is tied to the tree.

A young woman in floral cloth was firmly tied to a tree by a thick hemp rope, her wrists were bound with her hands behind her back, and she was also tied with a hemp rope, and a heavy rock was attached to the end of the hemp rope.

The face and eyes of the young woman were full of fear, but her mouth was open. She was tied and strangled by a hemp rope. The colleague who fixed her on the tree also made her speechless and shouted. To make a sound, I could only make a painful groan.

Beside the young woman, under the shade of a leafy tree, a man wearing a short-sleeved sweater was sitting on a stone slab. Although the weather wasn't hot, sweat was gathering on his forehead and slipped from his face from time to time.

From time to time, the man raised his head to look at the young woman who was tied to the tree, and turned his head from time to time to look elsewhere.

Looking at the woman, there was unbearable expression in his eyes, which seemed to be moved with compassion.

And the young woman also noticed the man's eyes, struggled helplessly, groaned, and looked at the man with pleading eyes.

……

Looking back at the woman again, the man hesitated, stood up from the stone slab, went around behind the tree, and untied the rope around the woman's mouth,

"What do you want, water?"

"Brother, I don't want anything, I don't want anything."

After untying the hemp rope around her mouth, the young woman left a red mark around her mouth,

Looking at the man, the young woman burst into tears instantly,

"Brother, please, let me go, let me go."

"I'll be your daughter-in-law and give birth to you, okay? I will never run away. I will stay here and not go anywhere. Please let me go."

Terrified, the young woman begged the man,

"I have a wife."

"I don't eat very much. I can sweep the floor and cook for your house, feed pigs, and farm. It's all fine. Brother, I'm useful. Brother, I'm really useful. Let me go, let me go... "

The young woman pleaded with increasing terror,

"...That's right, that's right, big brother, look at me pretty, sleep with me, sleep with me."

The young woman seemed to be grasping at the last straw, and tears kept gushing from her eyes as she spoke.

The man just shook his head, picked up the water glass from the slate beside him, opened the lid, and put it to the young woman's mouth.

"Have a drink."

"I won't drink, I won't drink... Brother, listen to me, listen to me..."

The woman struggled, shaking her head in fear.

The man just looked at the young woman, put the water glass back on the bluestone board, picked up the hemp rope that he had untied before,

"...Brother, don't, don't...I'll let you sleep, I can do anything, just let me go, I'll work for your house, if I'm lazy you can hit me...Brother, let me go .”

Seeing this, the woman became more terrified, struggled, and shouted.

"If you want to blame, blame your bad life." The man held the rope and was about to re-strangle the young woman's mouth with hemp rope.

"Big Brother, Big Brother... You are trying to sink me into the river, right? It's useless, it's useless... This is superstition, just superstition." The young woman said, tears streaming down her face.

"Nonsense, what do you know! You don't understand anything..." The man seemed to be a little angry, "The chickens, ducks and fish in our village are dying because the water god is angry. As long as he calms down his anger, our village will be fine. Otherwise, everyone in our village will die!"

"It's useless, it's useless, the two that were sold together with me have already been sunk in the river, are they useful!" the woman cried and struggled.

"What do you know, as long as you are sunk, our village will be fine, as long as you are sunk..."
