The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar and the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar were a grand sacrificial day in a small mountain village many years ago, but I still remember it, maybe there are not many people in the world.

The grass and trees on the roadside were stained with dew, and I don’t know how many webs that spiders woven hard at night had been destroyed along the way. Although it was midsummer, the morning in the mountains was always cool and the sun was gentle. A few people and demons stood on a small hill and looked at the evil temple in the distance.

This is a rare open-air temple, located remotely, far away from the mountain village, and backed by the mountains. The most eye-catching one is the huge stone altar and the newly swept gray statue in the temple.

Zheng Zhilan still remembers the scene when she first met him.

It was in a sacrifice, and someone was offering sacrifices to the evil gods. At that time, he was still very young and was taken to watch the sacrifice for the first time. The adults that day were seriously distorted to the small temple, and even seemed a bit ridiculous and ridiculous monster kneeling on the hillside behind the temple, but in her eyes, there was a huge and majestic monster standing on the hillside behind the temple. The monster had strong limbs, sharp claws like knives, with its wings behind it, hanging down its huge head, and staring at the group of mortals who sacrificed to him.

His expression was so solemn, as if he was attending a grand sacrifice, which made her suddenly feel that this was an extremely solemn thing.

But there were only a dozen people who sacrificed that day.

Later, the times became so fast. From the fact that there was only one color TV in the village, every household had many electrical appliances. The elderly gradually passed away, and adults never came back when they went out to work. Young people no longer believed in these "evil temples and evil sacrifices". The door locks of the temple were rusted and no one took care of them. They only opened once a year. Each time, only one little girl would walk in and pray alone.

Until a mudslide rushes down the highest mountain and destroys half of the village.

She was the only one left in the village.

Zheng Zhilan used to think that maybe the world would continue like this, everyone would go to the city, the small mountain village would be completely forgotten, and no one would ever find it. Even after a few years, even her uncles and uncles would forget how to walk the road to the mountain, and the life of her Qinghe and the evil gods would last forever.

...

The girl in a simple blue dress knelt quietly in front of the altar, alone, lowered her head and prayed in a low voice.

In order to prepare for the sacrifice, she has been busy since yesterday, selected twenty sheep, got up early this morning, cleared all the weeds in the temple, and swept away the dust for the stone statues.

Now is prayer time.

The others and demons stood in the distance and watched. Most of them were very qualitative and kept quiet. Even His Highness, the demon king, did not make any noise. Only the old monster was the most annoying.

“On June 6th, watch Gu Xiu…

"Ah Chun beat six or nine...

"Hey you said it"

Huaixue turned his head and looked around them, and stopped singing: "The evil god is really amazing. Can he bear it if he only eats this meal every year?"

Baozi quietly turned his head and looked at him.

In the past, I had very little contact with Brother Huai Xu, and it was limited to an occasional meal. Everyone came to have a free meal. As the saying goes, the friendship between the free meal is as light as water. Both sides didn't know much about it. I knew that Brother Huai Xu was extremely beautiful and was the yy partner of cotton swabs every night. Until this time, she suddenly felt that

Is there something wrong with this person?

But she didn't dare to ask, she just dared to think silently in her heart.

Zhou Li gave Huai Xu a blank look, lowered his head and whispered: "This shows that Lord Evil God is a monster who is free from low-level interests. Unlike some monsters, he only knows how to eat them all day long."

Huai Xu frowned when she heard this.

His Highness King Yu also frowned.

"Except Your Highness!"

"call……"

Your Highness, King Yu, was relieved.

The Great Demon King frowned even more.

Baozi secretly glanced at Brother Nan again, thinking about the word "Your Highness".

"Oh"

The old monster yawned again, picked a small flower from the side, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and said impatiently: "Has it been so long? Have you ever had so much to say?"

"You're so annoying."

"Why am I annoyed??"

“Be quiet.”

"That's not a god, just a monster like me." Huai Xu shook his head and spit out the petals, "Your girlfriend is still standing here."

"..." Zhou Li glanced at him, "What does it taste?"

“It’s hard to worry about, not delicious.”

"Stop talking."

"oh……"

The girl kneeling in the temple was so pious. In front of her, the monster with a huge head lowered down and looked solemn, with scarlet eyes staring at the girl's figure. The slender girl looked far smaller than his head, as if she could swallow it in one bite.

The evil god is also a rare silence.

Zhou Li looked at him intently.

The world is blurred, and the only clear thing in the distance is the two figures, one big and one small, as if they are the center of the world.

A girl's voice blew in the wind: "If you want to leave, then leave, don't wait here all the time. We all appreciate you..."

This is the last sentence.

The girl stood up and bowed and retreated.

"Squeak..."

The old temple door slowly closed.

The girl turned around, faced the door, stood for a long time, and then turned around and left along the path.

"Is it over?"

The old monster asked her quickly.

"Um."

Miss Zheng nodded gently.

The old monster blinked and looked into the evil god in the distance: "He hasn't eaten the sheep yet, when will he eat it?"

Miss Zheng took the reins of the cow and horse, and sat Zhou Li on the horse's back. She didn't really want to talk at this moment, but she still replied in a low voice while walking back: "I don't know, we are not qualified to care about when Lord Evil God will enjoy the sacrifice, but generally he will enjoy it at night."

"At night? Are you afraid of being seen?" The old monster's eyes were rolling around, "If I just stood here and kept looking at him, would he be embarrassed to eat?"

“…”

Back to the village.

Miss Zheng sat under the eaves, holding a pear in her hand, and was quietly peeling it.

Because she was not very skilled, she looked particularly serious.

The pear skin hung long and did not break.

After peeling, she threw the complete pear skin to the members of the dog gang to eat, and what she got was a smooth pear, which she handed to Zhou Li.

"Thanks."

"Um."

Miss Zheng picked up another one and continued to peel it.

There were a few mouths queuing next to it.

His Highness Yu King took out the rope and jumped up. He stopped every time he jumped a few times to see if the numbers displayed on the small screen on the rope handle were correct, and then try again quickly and try again. What she was interested in seemed not the sport of jumping rope, but the smart sniffing rope.

Lord Tuanzi next to him has been beaten several times by jumping rope. What’s amazing is that neither Your Highness, King Yu nor Lord Tuanzi cares about it at all.

Maybe this is why Lord Tuanzi is so sturdy.

"When will you go down the mountain?"

"It's the morning after tomorrow."

"After God..."

"Well, because my brother is back." Zhou Li whispered, "He kept yelling to play ball with me."

"oh."

"We will come before school starts." Zhou Li smiled, "If you have business to come to Yancheng, or pass by Yancheng, you can come to us and let's go eat skewers together."

"good."

Miss Zheng peeled another pear and handed it to Huai Xu next to Zhou Li this time.

The next one of Huai Xu was the little cousin. She waited patiently and was not anxious at all. She seemed to be watching "Brother Nan" jump rope, but in fact she was eavesdropping on her cousin and Miss Zheng.

She was very disappointed that she was about to leave the morning after tomorrow. She might have desserts to eat, cold drinks to drink, unlimited ice cream, fruits and peeling, and may not have to meet again in the next life.
