I can't help being stunned when I see a man like this: "what's wrong with you, you, you?"
The man put down his chopsticks and looked at me: "all dead, ah, all dead."
I was slightly stunned, and then realized that I had said something wrong. This man saved me. I shouldn't have let him feel sad, so I apologized to him and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such a thing."
The man wiped his tears and squeezed out a smile at me: "it's nothing. In fact, it's not a secret. If you want to listen to me tell you, after all, for so many years, no one has listened to me to tell you the story of their mother and son."
I looked at the man suspiciously: "is it really OK? If it's not convenient
The man gave me a smile: "no harm."
I just nodded: "if it's really nothing, tell it to me!"
The man, um, looked up at the ceiling for a while, as if in his own deep thoughts.
A few minutes later, the man lowered his head and told me a story about them here.
I gradually understood that it was a custom here that harmed their family. Because it was a mountain area, people here believed in the mountain god. Every ten years, the high priest held a sacrifice ceremony to worship the mountain god. The way of offering sacrifices was called the living sacrifice.
The meaning of the living man sacrifice is very obvious. He told me that he loved his wife and children very much. In addition, he had read books outside, so he was very opposed to this kind of sacrifice. However, because of his opposition, not only his wife, but also his children were killed by the high priest. As a sacrifice, the people in the mountain were very pedantic, not only none There was opposition, and all but himself supported the sacrifice.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel shocked: "haven't you asked the government to deal with such a matter?"
The man sighed: "what's the use of the government? It's a remote place here. When the police came, they believed me alone. All the people said that I was a madman. I bit my teeth. The man put down his chopsticks and looked out at the moon. "The moon is so round today."
I had no appetite at all. Seeing the man like this, I didn't want to eat any more. When I wanted to comfort the man, he bowed his head and said, "tomorrow is the day of sacrifice once every ten years. Would you like to go and have a look?"
I wanted to refuse, but I couldn't bear to think that a living human life would be buried in the wizard's hand, so I said to the man, "OK, but I have a question."
The man turned his head and looked at me: "question? What questions? "
I thought about it and said to the man, "you say you want to sacrifice with human life here, but how does the wizard choose people?"
The man sighed and said with a smile: "so you want to ask me this. You don't have to ask me now. I'll take you to have a look tomorrow and you will know."
I think men don't want to say too much, plus I just let him think of his wife and children who died in vain, so he stopped asking.
We went to bed early after dinner.
One night's recuperation I have been much better, the next morning, the man called me up: "how are you now?"
I smile at the man and say: "it's much better, but I want to see Zhuge Yuner, I don't know how she is."
The man nodded and was about to take me away. Suddenly he said to me like he remembered something: "by the way, I have something to explain to you."
I was stunned for a moment: "please say it!"
The man looked out, as if to see if someone was coming. After a while, he closed the door tightly: "after you have seen the girl, come out quickly. Don't let the high priest in the village see the girl."
I can't help being stunned when I hear this from a man: "what do you mean?"
The man God looked at me mysteriously: "don't ask more, just remember my words, as long as after today, even if you take that girl around the village, no one cares about you."
I thought there was something fishy in it, but listening to the man's words, he didn't hurt me, so he nodded to the man: "OK! I promise you. "
The man, um, just took me out of the door.
This is the first time I went out of the house. Although I told the man it was a mountain village, the scope of the village should be not small. There are houses everywhere. It looks very rich. Moreover, the village must have at least 3000 families.
The village was big, but when I went out with the man, there was no one on the street.
I couldn't help but wonder, "eh? What's going on? Why is there no one in the village? "
The man didn't expect that I would ask him suddenly. He turned around and covered my mouth: "Shhh! Keep your voice down. If this is heard by the witches or the high priests, you should follow me and never walk around. Once found out by those people, they will think that you are destroying their sacrificial rites. "I listen to the man said so serious, can't help but be scared, quickly nodded, followed the man to walk forward quickly.
The man walked for a while and then suddenly whispered to me, "let's take the path. It's better not to meet those people."
I gave the man God Dao Dao appearance to make the whole body uncomfortable, but he is also kind, so I did not say anything, followed him secretly to the path.
He and I had just walked into an alley when suddenly we heard the sound of Suona and firecrackers.
After the man heard the sound, he quickly pulled me to a door.
The door was locked. I remembered that the door of every house we passed was locked. I could not help being curious and asked the man in a low voice, "Why are all the doors locked?"
The man was stunned for a moment and took a look at the outside: "well, because in the morning, it's time for the high priest to choose the female sacrifice, so,,", "
I raised my eyebrow slightly:" don't you say that people in the village support sacrifice? In this case, why should we be afraid to choose a sacrifice? "
Man ha ha a smile: "although everyone is superstitious, but no one wants his family as a sacrifice, right?"
When I heard him say that, I felt right, so I nodded.
We can't see the way they choose people when we hide like this.
The man seemed to have guessed my mind and said with a smile: "you don't have to look at things like this in the morning, and there's nothing good to see. It's sad to say that the children of any family have chosen all, ah, and even the superfluous things. Let's not talk about them. Go and have a look at your friend."
Well, I was thinking that it was not good for a living person to lose in this way. I had to find a way to pierce this layer of window paper, which should be a revenge for my life-saving benefactor.
I was just thinking about it, and the man pulled me in and said, "here they are."
I, um, quickly put my back against the iron door.
It seems that the atmosphere outside is not small.
I secretly glanced at the outside, about 50 people, all young men, with decorative masks, red upper body, with hairy things in their hands, kept beating, just like the people who jumped the gods, looking extremely funny.
In the front of these people, there is a guy with a bow waist, holding an unlit lantern in his hand, and has been leading the group forward. Behind them are several men carrying red sedan chairs.
When they were over, I said to the man, "is that the high priest ahead?"
The man nodded: "yes, it is said that the lantern in his hand will choose the girl of the family as the sacrifice when the lantern lights up at the door. However, after reading books for such a long time outside, I guess there must be something fishy in it."
I hum, until these people left, the man said to me: "OK, let's go."
I, er, followed the man around the path has been walking a long way, then to the man said another home.
The man knocked twice on the door, then twice after a pause.
It looks like some kind of code word.
After hearing the knock on the door, the people in the room rushed out and opened a crack in the door to have a look. It was a middle-aged woman.
I was the two of us. The woman asked the man, "20% son, the high priest, did they not follow me?"
He nodded: "has passed, elder sister quick open the door let us in."
The woman this just reacts to come over, quickly opened the door: "come in quickly."
After I went in with the middle-aged man, the woman quickly poked out her head and took a look at the door to make sure that there was no one outside before she put the door back in.
After returning to the house, 20% of the children asked the woman, "what's the matter with the girl?"
The woman wiped the sweat on her head: "nothing. It's estimated that in the next day and a half, I'll wake up. However, when Er Chengzi saw that the woman was hesitant, he was a little anxious, so he asked the woman," elder sister, don't be so hesitant. What's the matter? You can tell me what you want
The woman said with a sigh: "Oh, there is a deep tooth mark on the girl's left chest, which seems to have been bitten by a man, a man, or a man. I applied a lot of medicine in that place, but I didn't see any improvement. Is there anything wrong with this girl?,", "
when I heard the woman say this, I think of those mutated Taoist priests He waved his hand to the woman: "no, auntie. Yuner is a very pure girl. As for the tooth mark wound on her chest, I can't explain it to you. Even if you do, you won't believe that there will be such a thing. By the way, when will the sacrifice outside begin?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
I can't help being stunned when I see a man like this: "what's wrong with you, you, you?"
The man put down his chopsticks and looked at me: "all dead, ah, all dead."
I was slightly stunned, and then realized that I had said something wrong. This man saved me. I shouldn't have let him feel sad, so I apologized to him and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such a thing."
