I’ll Quit Being a God

The money secretly given to the village chief and the money to buy the new wedding dress have used up all the family's small savings. She was already in a bad mood now, and her son kept making troubles. Even she, who doted on her son the most, couldn't stand it anymore.

Picking up the little boy fiercely, the peasant woman slapped him in the face and cursed, "If you keep making trouble! If you make trouble again, I will send you to the mountains and let the mountain god eat you!"

Such a threat had an immediate effect.

The little boy stiffened, his expression a little horrified. But the next second, he shouted unconvinced.

"Liar! You lie! Dad said that after I offer little sister Ai to the mountain god, the mountain god will not come to eat me! Sister Ai has gone in my place! The mountain god will not eat me!"

"You just don't want to buy me clothes, you just lie to me... Wuwuwuwu... You buy new clothes for Xiao Ai, but not for me... Wuwuwu... You are partial! You are partial! She is going to die, and she is still wearing such beautiful new clothes... Wuwuwu... You are wasting money! You are partial! Wuwuwu..."

The little boy covered his face and cried in frustration again.

However, the little boy's crying made the girl outside the door freeze.

She stood blankly in the darkness outside the door, listening to the noise and crying in the room, her expression a little dull.

In the story she knew, it was the mountain god who needed a virgin, so the adults in the village decided by drawing lots. In the end, she was unfortunately chosen and had to wear the new wedding dress purchased by her uncle and aunt to enter the mountain.

Because she was chosen, her aunt, who had always hated her, unexpectedly cared about her and cooked her several delicious meals. The uncle also sighed several times, complaining about his incompetence and saying that he failed to protect his second brother's daughter, and he felt very guilty.

At that time, the girl suddenly discovered that although her uncle's family did not treat her well on weekdays, they really treated her as a relative. After she encountered such a thing, it was her uncles and aunts who she usually disliked the most who treated her best.

That's why after Master Shan Shen released her back, she was so happy that she wanted to run home and share her joy with her uncle and aunt.

If her uncle and aunt knew that she survived, they would be very happy, right?

——This is what she originally thought.

But now I heard a completely different story.

The girl's expression was a little stiff.

She began to think about those things before. After she was selected, her uncle and aunt began to treat her kindly and did good things to her...

Are all those concerns and love all fake? Everything they did was to trick her into becoming a scapegoat?

Because the chosen one is not her at all? But the uncle's son?

So why did her uncle and aunt, who had always disliked her, suddenly change their attitude?

The girl's expression became frightened and desperate.

After hearing these words, the door in front of her no longer looked friendly at all. Instead, it looked as scary as a closed door. A ghost might jump out and catch her at any time.

The constant noises and cries inside the door were no longer warm, and became like the howls of evil spirits in hell, which made her feel cold all over and her face looked sad.

It's not like this... It's not like this... Don't become like this...

The girl held her hands tightly in front of her chest, kept retreating, and shook her head desperately.

She even had an urge to run away and escape from here.

But where can I run...

The girl was desperate.

Her mother has died of illness and her father's whereabouts are unknown. Now, her only relative and only place to stay in the world is the small house in front of her.

But the people in this room actually tricked her into becoming a scapegoat...

Woo...

The girl's heart was already filled with sadness.

At this moment, there was the sound of shaking footsteps behind her, and someone was approaching.

The girl with a dull expression turned around subconsciously and saw the person behind her.

It was a lame drunkard with a shaky figure and a face full of stubble - it was her uncle and her father's eldest brother.

Ai Laizi...

When the girl turned back, a blazing white lightning flashed across the night sky. The pale light shone on the ground and on the girl's face, making her little face with a desperate expression pale.

At that moment, the drunk man behind the girl clearly saw this strange scene.

Because he was lame on one leg, the man who was called Ai Laizi by the villagers widened his eyes in horror.

Then he let out a heart-rending scream.

"Ghost ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

…

A quarter of an hour later, the girl, who was tied up by the villagers, was escorted outside the village chief's house.

There was still lightning and thunder in the night sky, and the howling wind blew everything in the small mountain village.

All the young and strong men in the village have gathered here, forming a circle around the village chief's house.

The light of the torches swaying in the strong wind reflected the gloomy and uncertain expressions of the people. And the little girl who was being escorted to kneel in the crowd lowered her head in despair, her mouth was sealed with a piece of cloth, and she couldn't even cry out in defense.

In the house in front lives the most authoritative old man in the village.

When a big event happened in the village, everyone immediately gathered here to wait for the village chief's instructions. Before that, someone had already come over in advance to inform the village chief of what happened.

So everyone didn't wait too long before the door of the house was pushed open. .

Immediately afterwards, the village chief on crutches was supported by his son and walked out.

Under the dim light of the torch, the old man walked slowly and finally came to the girl. Amid everyone's nervous gazes, the old village chief lowered his head, looked at the girl in front of him, and frowned.

The little girl in front of her was wearing a bright red wedding dress, exactly the same as when she was sent to the mountain. But the hem of her skirt was covered with mud, and the original color of her shoes was no longer visible at all. The dirty look was clearly that she had escaped from the mountains.

After a few seconds of silence, the village chief looked up at the villagers in front of him and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where did you find her?"

The village chief asked, and everyone looked at the lame man in the crowd.

Being stared at by everyone, Ai Zizi hurriedly walked out and cautiously reported to the village chief, "She was found in front of my house, village chief. I thought she was a ghost who came back to demand her life, which scared me. Fortunately, she was found in front of my house, village chief." We found that she had a shadow, not a ghost, so we guessed that she had escaped from the mountains secretly, so we immediately caught her and brought her to you."

"Then after she was caught by you, did she have any excuse?" the village chief asked, but his eyes remained on the little girl.

At this time, the little girl's face was pale and there were scars on her forehead. It seemed that the villagers' process of catching her was not smooth.

Noticing the village chief's gaze, Ai Zizi quickly defended, "When we caught her, she struggled desperately and talked nonsense, saying that she didn't escape privately and that the mountain god let her back. She also bit people with her teeth. , in desperation, we just...just..."

After talking about it, Ai Laizi's voice became smaller and smaller, because the village chief was staring at him with an extremely stern look.

After Ai Laizi shut up, the old man paused the crutch in his hand and stared at him coldly, "Stop talking? Go ahead and tell me how you can dedicate it to the mountain god." The virgin was injured!"

The old man's angry questioning made the group of young men and women speechless. They lowered their heads silently and did not dare to say a word of contradiction.

Seeing them like this, the old man became even more angry.

He smashed the crutch in his hand hard, and his hair and hair were all angry, "A bunch of pigs! They do things without thinking at all!"

"Even if you want to catch her, you can't hurt her! Why didn't you think of such a simple thing? You made her scarred and swollen. What if the mountain god doesn't like it and wants us to replace him with someone else? Then what should we do? Which of your children should be used as a donation? Or directly blamed, which of you can afford it?!"

The village chief yelled angrily, but everyone shrank their necks and listened obediently, not daring to contradict him.

When the old man had finished scolding him, everyone asked cautiously, "Village chief, what should we do next?"

"Yes, village chief, what should we do? This little bitch escaped from the mountain privately. The mountain god won't be angry..."

Everyone was worried, fearing that they would offend the mountain god.

But the old man shook his head and gave everyone a reassurance.

"If Lord Mountain God was really angry, our village would have been in disaster long ago. Why would it be your turn to worry? There has been no movement until now. Maybe the old man didn't notice that this little bitch escaped."

"So let's hurry up and send this little bitch back to the mountains. Maybe it's still too late. This time we have people guarding him. We must not let this little bitch escape on his own again."

Having said this, the village chief paused his crutch vigorously, looked at everyone present sternly, and said, "Let's go into the mountain immediately!"

"If Lord Mountain God is really angry, our aquatic village will be completely destroyed!"

Chapter 6 The Mountain God is Angry

In the dark mountain forest, the wind is howling and the mountain roads are rugged.

The villagers holding torches walking on the mountain road were very careful, for fear that they would fall off the cliff and die if they were not careful.

This section of the mountain road is very steep. Not only is the road narrow, but it is also surrounded by cliffs. Even hunters who usually go into the mountains are a little scared to walk this section of road in the dark.

What's more, Hanyu Mountain was full of weirdness tonight, making everyone frown and feel heavy.

In the night sky above their heads, thunder and lightning flashed and silver snakes danced wildly.

The huge lightnings pierced the sky one after another, each time making the earth pale.

If weather like this happened in the past, it would have rained heavily.

But tonight there was no thunder but no rain. There was lightning and thunder in the sky, but no raindrops fell. And the further they walked into the mountains, the villagers found that the thunder in the sky became denser.

It seems that somewhere in the Hanyu Mountain, there is something connecting with the thunderclouds in the night sky...

After this terrifying suspicion emerged in people's minds, it quickly turned into whispers.

"There's something unusual about the thunder tonight... Could it be that the mountain god is angry? Will lightning strike us to death?"

"Bah, bah, bah! Wang Laoliu, what nonsense are you talking about! How dare you say such nonsense?"

"That's right! Wang Laoliu, you don't want to die?"

"This thunder and lightning is definitely not the anger of the Mountain God. The Mountain God will definitely forgive us."

"That's right, we are not wrong. Lord Mountain God will definitely forgive us."

"If you want to blame, blame this selfish little bitch who is afraid of death! Even though she was chosen, she still ran out privately... Isn't this intentional to harm us?"

"Yes, yes, it's all this little bitch's fault."

The villagers talked a lot, turning back to glare at the girl in the middle of the team from time to time.

The girl in the red wedding dress had her hands and feet tied up, and then she was carried with a long stick through the knots on her hands and feet, like a pig being carried to a market for sale. She looked quite miserable.

But none of the villagers expressed sympathy for her. Instead, they were full of resentment towards her. If they weren't worried about hurting her flesh and not liking the mountain god, the villagers would have vented their anger on this damn little bitch.

The girl, who was resented by the villagers, had stopped resisting.

She stared blankly at the sky above her head, watching the huge lightning that appeared from time to time in the night sky. She was originally very afraid of thunder, but tonight she was not afraid of these terrible thunders.

She had clearly explained the situation to everyone, and it was clear that the mountain god had let her back, so why didn't everyone believe her? And he scolded her with those vicious words... It's not like she ran away in fear of death, it was really the mountain god who asked her to come back!

And on her way back, the mountain god asked the monkeys to bring her food to prevent her from starving. How could such a good mountain god be the man-eating monster everyone talks about!

The girl felt sad and angry, thinking that the adults must have made a mistake.

At first she tried to argue, but now it didn't matter. No one would believe what she said anyway.

Even though she kept telling everyone that the mountain god did not want sacrifices and that the mountain god did not eat people, no one believed her. Instead, everyone thought she was lying and even sealed her mouth.

Is this the grown-up in the village...

The girl stared blankly at the night sky with flashes of thunder and lightning, her expression a little confused.

She grew up in the village and was familiar with everyone around her. In the past, everyone was amiable. Even if she occasionally got into trouble, the adults would just shake their heads helplessly and forgive her generously. She was really a very good person.

But today, the girl discovered that all this had changed.

The adults who always smiled gently and were kind to her have all changed. There were no smiles on their faces, their once gentle expressions had become vicious, their eyes were filled with resentment, and the familiar faces had now become extremely unfamiliar.

She seemed to be in a strange village, surrounded by a group of strange people.

If only this were all a dream...

The girl thought quietly, looking at the sky above her head with dull eyes.

Boom——

Huge thunder roared between heaven and earth.

In the night sky, a huge thunderbolt suddenly pierced the sky and the earth, and struck down fiercely on the mountains ahead.

The scene of huge thunder and lightning struck the villagers on the mountain road.

Because the lightning was so big, much thicker than ordinary lightning, and it hit the mountain directly...

"That direction seems to be the mountain temple!"

Some of the villagers recognized that direction and screamed in horror.

This sentence made everyone look terrible.

In this weird weather with lightning and thunder, just when the virgins who had been sacrificed were escaping privately, thunder and lightning actually fell in the direction of the mountain temple...
