Do they have to put that mask on the little girl so that she will never leave the village?

Or give her the freedom to choose her own life in the future?

At this time, I saw Ah Zi coming over because of her mother, her emotions became very excited, crying and shouting: "No, I really don't want to live like this for the rest of my life, I want to go to the outside world to see, I ......"

She said as she fell backwards, reaching the edge of the platform before she knew it.

Fortunately, the platform was not high, and when I stood up, I was just a little dusty.

Su Xin heard a long sigh from under the girl's mother's mask, containing disappointment, and ...... Heartache.

However, after Ah Zi fell off the stone platform, he didn't continue to say anything.

At this moment, Su Xin noticed that the mask in the village chief's hand turned into a sparkling light and disappeared into the air under the gaze of everyone.

Su Xin heard a deep sigh coming from under the mask of Ah Zi's mother, with emotion and regret.

It's a pity that now everything is irreparable.

For those here, there is only one choice.

I still remember that year, a person was because he heard a foreigner say how wonderful the outside world was, so he refused the mask at the banquet ceremony, and then left the mountain village, and returned ten years later, so depressed...... He looked older and haggard than anyone in his forties or fifties here.

When he finally died, he fell down the mountain... Even the sacred tree is not far away to give him a chance to die!

But there's another rule here, which is to respect everyone's choice. Such a ceremony is performed at the age of twelve, rather than directly wearing a mask at the birth of a child, because at this time people already have the ability to think for themselves.

Soon, when the mask in the village chief's hand turned into two points and disappeared, he picked up another mask and walked over to another little boy.

The little boy's eyes looked at the masked and indifferent face in the audience, and then looked at Ah Zi on the other side, who was crying and looking at him expectantly.

He suddenly turned his head to the little girl next to him and said, "Let's go together, didn't you also say that you wanted to see the outside world before?" Even when you're outside, I'll protect you. ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the little girl's hand, and the little girl put her hand behind her back, subconsciously took a step back, and responded: "I said I was curious about the outside world, but my parents told me that no matter what, there is a price to pay." Otherwise, those who come to us have grown up in such a wonderful world, why would they envy our life here? ”

"You" the little boy didn't expect the other party to say such a thing. Indeed, his parents also said such things to him, but the curiosity and yearning for the outside in his heart completely prevailed over his parents' persuasion of him.

Finally, the little boy pointed to the expressionless masked villagers below and said, "Now there is only one chance, and now as long as you wear it, it is impossible to take it off for the rest of your life." Do you want to be like them forever? And, as long as you wear it, you'll never be able to get out of these mountains. ”

The little girl looked down and thought about it, raised her head, her eyes clear and bright: "This is the place where I was born and raised, and what I should build and pay for, not just be my last haven of refuge when I am tired." Don't say any more, I'm not leaving. ”

The village chief, who was wearing a mask on his face, quietly took the mask in his hand, handed it to the boy, and stood quietly in the golden sunlight, like a sculpture.

Ah Zi saw that the two above were still pulling and pulling, and everyone didn't pay attention to her at the moment, she suddenly felt a sense of loss.

She looked at the boy and shouted, "Brother Amin, don't you talk nonsense?" Didn't you say you must go out into the outside world and you will definitely protect me? ”

The boy sighed heavily, looked at the little girl next to him, looked at the village chief, the villagers, and finally gritted his teeth and jumped off the stone platform and stood beside Ah Zi.

As the boy left the stone platform, the mask in the village chief's hand turned into a sparkling light that dissipated into the air.

The girl who remained on the stone platform at the end looked full of anticipation and walked resolutely towards the village chief.

The boy was still a little unwilling to shout at her: "Ah Ying, have you really decided?" ”

Seeing that Ah Ying didn't pay attention to them at all, Ah Zi pulled Ah Min's arm with resentment, "Forget it, she has always been a selfish person, don't you know?" Let's go. ”

Ah Ying came to the old village chief, squatted down slightly, and the white mask in the village chief's hand flew up lightly and pasted on the girl's face.

The mask squirmed slightly, then became tightly knit to the girl's face. It's like growing out of her face.

Then slowly, the white color slowly blended into the girl's face, gradually emerging as she was......

At this moment, a white light was projected from the sacred tree and fell on the girl's body, enveloping her entire body.

Buzz –

The crowd, which had been silent all along, suddenly let out a soft cry.

It turned out to be a miracle!

I still remember that when the old village chief was holding the main banquet ceremony, the sacred tree had a miracle, but it only emitted a faint white light from the mask he was wearing.

The presence of a miracle during the ceremony of the main feast indicates that the blessed person is a person who has more faith and principles and is able to take on great responsibilities.

Just like the village chief back then, he later became a village that really made the village develop better, and the sacred tree became stronger.

Unexpectedly, this time it was a pillar of light that enveloped Ah Ying's whole person!

The old village chief's body shook slightly, because the mask covered his shocked expression could not be seen at the moment, but his excitement could be seen from his slightly trembling movements.

The village chief couldn't help but think in his heart that once every thousand years, the seal would be loosened, and it would also be a catastrophe.

This time the millennium has not yet arrived, but just now I heard the news brought by a few strangers, it should be that the seal has been loosened, and those who have branched out are ready to move.

Originally, I thought that it was those extraordinary foreigners who could let them survive this catastrophe, but now it seems that they are still saving themselves.

The hope of the village in the future is in this girl!

As the pillar of light slowly dissipated, the mask on the girl's face slowly faded, and then changed to her original appearance.

The rest of the people, including the village chief, automatically faded from their faces and became their original appearance.

As for Ah Min and Ah Zi, who chose to leave the village, seeing that Ah Ying actually obtained a miracle, not only in their hearts, but also in their eyes and expressions, they did not hide their jealousy and resentment.

I even think that if I don't choose to give up just now, then the miracle should be my own!

At this point, the ceremony ended.

Everyone began to talk and eat normally, discussing what had happened at the previous feast and so on.

It's as if the unhappiness of the two children rejecting the mask just now didn't happen at all.

They don't try to dictate other people's decisions, because everyone will pay for their own actions, they just need to be themselves.
