The mayor wiped his face and said with difficulty, "The first one to die was my descendant. After I married my wife, I couldn't have a child for many years. It wasn't until I was thirty years old that we finally had our first child. Unexpectedly, he died of illness when he was four or five years old. A few years later, we gave birth to another child, but he died of a cold. It wasn't until we were forty that we finally had our third child. We raised him like a treasure and he grew up to be a strong and smart boy. After that, we arranged for his marriage and gave birth to a grandson and a granddaughter. I thought that my life was finally complete with three generations under the same roof. I didn't expect that three years ago, my son went out for a business trip and got sick again. He was so sick that he became muddle-headed and lost his mind. We watched over him day and night, fearing that something would happen to him. But on the day of the Mystery Maiden Festival, I had to preside over the ceremony and couldn't leave. So, I drugged him and locked him in the house. But I didn't expect that he still … still ran out and jumped into the well with his son and daughter … When I came back, his body floated up. My son … my son … my family's bloodline was completely cut off … "
The old mayor cried blood with every word. Everyone who heard it was sad.
A soft-hearted woman wiped his tears for him, "It's all Bai Laosan's fault! It's all his fault for breaking the ancestral rules and bringing a foreign woman back to the town. That's why there was such a disaster later! That bastard deserved to die! "
Hearing the name Bai Laosan again, Ning Shu pulled Xiahou Qing's sleeve. Xiahou Qing understood and asked again for her, "Who is this Bai Laosan?"
The woman said, "Oh him, he was originally one of the smartest youngsters in our town. His parents passed away early, and the townspeople pitied him. They helped each other to raise him up, providing him with a mouthful of rice and a piece of cloth. Especially the mayor, he took care of him and treated him like half a son. The mayor personally taught him how to read and write. He was the first one in our town to go out to take the imperial examination. Everyone treated him as a literary star. But who would have thought that when he grew up, he would actually do such a thing. He went out to take the High Scholar examination and actually got together with a woman from another tribe. Not only did he get together with her, he even brought her back to town to perform the wedding ceremony. "
Xiao Zhangping listened attentively and couldn't help but ask, "What happened later? What did you do to him? "
"For hundreds of years, he has betrayed the teachings of the ancestors. Such a vile creature naturally needs to be whipped and chased out of the town. But I didn't expect that even so, they still couldn't stop the bad luck of our Bai Town. Not long after they left, the Mayor's son fell ill, and then that incident happened during the Mystic Maiden Festival … After that, strange things kept happening until now. Goddess Xuan Nyu, please calm down. Don't be angry anymore and let us live … "
The townspeople knelt and kowtowed in the direction of the statue.
These ignorant people had no idea what was going on, and what these mysterious things were all about. When they were at their wits' end, they could only pray again and again to the gods that they had faithfully believed in since they were born for a sliver of mercy. As for whether it was useful or not, what could they do?
Ning Shu could not comment on these people's actions. She could only continue to ask, "Bai Lao San, where is he?"
The townspeople laughed mockingly and said sarcastically, "Of course he's dead. They violated the rules of the clan, so how could the ancestors forgive them?! On the day of the leader's son's funeral, he brought that foreign woman back to pay respects, but we jointly drove them out. Not long after that, we heard the news of their sudden death. It was said that they were poisoned, and their deaths were particularly tragic. No one could collect their bodies. In the end, our Mayor was soft-hearted and came forward to take care of their family's funeral. His body was buried in the wild mountain outside the town, and it could be said that he was guarding the family. As for the foreign woman and her child, they were sent back to their original place. If you ask me, the Mayor is too kind. Such an unfilial descendant who disobeyed the ancestors, a traitor to the whole Bai Town, should be ground to ashes and fed to the animals! "
