Chapter 22 Children(2/2)
When everyone saw this, they all rushed over.
The girl who came out of the cave had a sad face and said while crying:
"It's gone, it's all gone... Our mother is gone, our mother is gone... Wuwuwu..."
As he said this, he squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
When the others heard the sound, they either staggered and collapsed on the ground, or hugged their heads and cried, looking completely unacceptable.
——
The picture in front of him of howling ghosts and wolves made Bai Yi feel a little confused.
Fortunately, at this time, a male swordsman in his early thirties and carrying a giant sword came over.
Compared to others, he looks much more mature and has a smile on his face.
But Bai Yi could see that it was just a forced smile.
A man came to Bai Yi and helped him up from the ground.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"You are from another world, right? I am Michu, nice to meet you."
"How do you know..."
"My mother has the ability to predict the future. She has already seen her own ending. When we were very young, she told us that one day in the future, there will be a person from another world who will free her."
"Your mother...is the Dragon King?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because we come from Stone Village and are unwanted orphans."
——
Any boy or girl handed over by Stone Village.
In fact, to put it bluntly, they are all orphans that the village does not want.
They are usually not welcomed in the village and face a dead end.
Naturally, the villagers were happy to sacrifice them to the Dragon King.
It's just that the villagers don't know that the Dragon King has no interest in eating children.
——
In the contract, the Dragon King said there was no cap on the sacrifices because he was afraid that there would be too many orphans in the village and not enough places.
As for boys and girls?
To be honest, I just mentioned it casually based on the fairy tales I heard and didn't care at all.
Furthermore, the villagers are not that honest at all.
Among the sacrifices sent over, many children were no longer intact, especially girls, most of whom had been violated.
——
After taking in these children, the idle Dragon King took pleasure in raising them.
And in the process of raising them, teach them skills and give them a way to make a living.
After raising them into adults, they were given a start-up capital and driven out of the ghost mountain, not allowing them to come back.
But even so, every year the orphans find a special time to return home collectively.
As long as enough people come back and the law does not punish everyone, the Dragon King will be embarrassed to rebuke them.
"My mother is not a bad person, she is just too lonely..."
