Chapter 171 Death Bet

Sure enough, from the place where the crowd was separated, an old man with a white beard wearing a Miao headdress walked in. It was Bai Ning, the village chief of Beiyan Village, Xiangxi. Behind him, he also walked into the scene with his subordinates in awe.

I saw that Ashan was also inside of these people. As soon as he came over, he found that I was also in the crowd, so he nodded to me and expressed his greetings.

When I saw Ashan, I immediately remembered Alai who was locked in the village chief's underground prison. When Guo Dahai guaranteed to leave, Alai was still in the prison, and I don't know how he is now.

Although Ashan promised to let Alai go in front of Abi's ghost, I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I still felt very worried. If it weren't for such a special occasion today, I would definitely go over and ask Ashan for news about Alai in person.

It is naturally not a trivial matter if people die in the village, so when the villagers saw the village chief rushing over, they whispered to each other and started to discuss, as if they placed all their hopes on the village chief.

"Village Chief, it's been a long time since there was such a bizarre murder in our village. What do you think is going on?"

"Yes, Wu Dashu died so strangely. Village chief, you have to ask someone to check it out."

"Village Chief, now everyone is panicked and they don't even have the heart to take care of the crops in the field. What do you think is OK?"

"The village chief, someone died early this morning. Is there something bad about a bad thing that comes to our village?"

The villagers spoke in front of the village chief. They saw Wu Dashu's bizarre death and were worried that this bad luck would also come to their heads, so they all hoped that the village chief would find out the cause of Wu Dashu's death as soon as possible so that they could rest assured.

When Ashan saw the villagers talking one by one, the scene was noisy, and the village chief had no chance to speak a word. He frowned and said loudly to the villagers: "Everyone, calm down, don't talk first. Since the village chief came here, he will find a way for everyone to solve the problem. Everyone can rest assured."

After hearing Ashan say this, the villagers' voices gradually became quiet. Ashan is always by the village chief and is the village chief's most capable assistant, so in the eyes of the villagers, it is still somewhat worth it.

When the village chief saw the scene becoming quiet, he glanced at the villagers and said in a deep voice: "I have heard everyone's opinions just now. I just want to tell you one thing, please don't panic. Our village has been safe and sound for thousands of years, because we have the protection of the snake god. I believe that this time, the snake god will also bless my Beiyan Village to survive the disaster."

After the village chief finished speaking, the villagers showed a calm smile on their faces. In the eyes of the villagers, they all believed in the existence of the snake god, so when the village chief said that the snake god would protect their safety, they all believed it.

Unexpectedly, the village chief suddenly changed his mind and said to the villagers: "However, recently, a woman dared to violate the ancient rules and did not give away the blood of a virgin and offend the snake god. Today, Wu Dashu's death is believed to be the consequence of the snake god's anger."

When the villagers heard this, they were all despised. They were already speculating on the cause of Wu Dashu's death. Now, when the village chief said this, they finally knew why Wu Dashu died. They couldn't believe that there was a girl in their village who dared to violate the ancient teachings and did not sacrifice their virgin blood. This ancient teaching has been implemented in this village for more than a thousand years, but no one has ever dared to violate it.

So they looked at the village chief and wanted to hear the village chief say the girl's name.

"And, I believe this is just the beginning," the village chief's face was solemn, and continued: "If a woman does not give virgin blood to the snake god in time to calm the snake god's anger, I believe that more people in our village will be implicated and more people will die, just like the Wu Dashu you see."

When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other with a shocked expression, and then became angry and anxious. They asked the village chief: "Guardian, which family of girls is actually doing such a thing that goes against the ancient teachings. It would be fine if she suffered herself. Now we will suffer with her. If the snake god gets angry, will we all be done?"

"That's right. Which family's girl did such a traitor? Village Chief, please tell us quickly and let us argue with her family!"

The villagers were in agitation and ready to fight, and the scene was once again in chaos.

When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel worried, because I could hear it a long time ago that the girl in the village chief was referring to Ding Ling. If he announced Ding Ling's name in public, Ding Ling would probably be in trouble in the future.

When I saw the village chief, I wanted to say Ding Ling's name. I really wanted to run over immediately and find something to stuff the old mouth so that he could not speak. However, I knew very well that the villagers at the scene were people who wanted the village chief to be convinced. If I saw me offending their village chief like this, I am afraid that whether I could live today is still a questionable question.

At this time, what I was worried about finally happened. The village chief glanced at these villagers. These villagers seemed to know that they wanted the village chief to have something to say, and immediately calmed down one after another. Then the village chief said with a gloomy expression: "This girl is far away in the sky and near in front of her. She is Ding Ling of the Ding family!"

As soon as this sentence was finished, the villagers burst into angry voices again like a blowout.

"It turns out that it's the stinky girl from the Ding family. She usually looks gentle, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious!"

"Yes, yes, hasn't her Ding family always had a good family tradition? How could Ding Ling not let her give her virgin blood? Could it be that there is something wrong with this girl's style..."

"If you refuse to give your blood to the virgin, you will definitely not be clean. Village chief, you must check this matter carefully. You must not make the snake god angry and harm us innocent people."

"I knew there was something wrong with the Ding family, otherwise Wu Dashu would die in the place where he would die at the door of their Ding family? Right?"

The villagers were discussing angrily and saying all kinds of ugly and dirty words to Ding Ling. When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but secretly worry about Ding Ling's safety.

The guards guarding at the door of Ding's house gradually became uneasy when they saw the villagers so angry. They retreated to the door one after another, as if they were always on guard. Whenever there was a riot among the villagers, they would immediately retreat and close the door.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and a young man with a tiger-backed and bear-backed waist suddenly walked out of the Ding family. As soon as they came out, the momentum of the Ding family seemed to have changed immediately, suppressing the villagers' momentum a lot.

I looked up and saw that the two people were Ding Datong and Ding Yunlong.

Obviously, the voices of the villagers outside became louder and louder, so they had to come out. After all, the Ding family is also a well-known wealthy family in the western Hunan area, and they cannot bully it like this.

As soon as Ding Datong came out, he glared at the loud villagers, glanced at the village chief, and finally turned his eyes to the village chief and stared at the village chief fiercely, because he knew in his heart that everything was initiated by this hateful village chief.

"Captain Bai," Ding Datong said in a cold voice: "I seemed to have heard you say something slandering your little girl just now, is that something happened?"

When the village chief heard this, he was stunned. Although he knew that the Ding family was rich and powerful in the local area, he was not afraid of the world, since he had so many support from the villagers, he naturally did not put the Ding family on the top.

So the village chief smiled slightly on his face and said in a contemptuous tone: "Ding Datong, I just told the truth. Have you slandered your Ding family? Why are you so angry?"

Ding Datong is not a good-looking lamp. When he heard the village chief say this, his mouth twitched and said coldly: "Our Ding family does not intend to violate the old customs. They also plan to ask the little girl to give her virgin blood to the snake god as soon as possible within the year. However, for his own selfishness, Village Chief Bai openly kidnapped the little girl and forced her to do something she didn't want to do, so my little girl refused to donate blood."

"Ding Datong, you..." After hearing Ding Datong's words, the village chief was powerless to refute, and his face turned red with anger.

Originally, the Ding family violated the old customs of this village, but now Ding Datong said this, he became the village chief because when forced, Ding Ling really became the victim and worthy of sympathy.

Almost no villagers knew about Ding Ling's kidnapped by the village chief. Now that this incident was spoken by Ding Datong, it immediately aroused their enthusiasm for discussion. Of course, most of them were accusing the village chief of the wrong ones.

Seeing the situation suddenly reversed, the village chief was worried that the villagers would turn against Ding Datong, so he quickly said, "Even if this is the case, your Ding family violated the old customs of the village and caused the snake god to get angry. This is not fake, right? Wu Dashu's death at your doorstep is the best proof."

As he said that, the village chief was slightly proud of his face, feeling that Ding Datong had no reason to refute him this time. Because such a large body was lying here, the villagers were watching from the public and they could not deny it even if they wanted to.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ding Datong immediately burst into laughter and said coldly: "Captain Bai, people will die in the world every day. Do you also want to blame the death of these people on our Ding family? You said that Wu Dashu's death was because the snake god was angry, and I also said that his death was a coincidence? You insisted on the responsibility of our Ding family, what was your intention?"

Although I don’t like Ding Datong, I have to admit that his eloquence is indeed amazing. At least at this moment, the village chief was speechless and powerless by him.
