Chapter 1662 Living Son Sun Shou
Sun Yuangang, who was wearing a plaid shirt, couldn't help it anymore, "This bridge must not be repaired. Think about it, if the bridge was built to allow these murderers to cross the river, how many innocent people would be killed?" People died tragically?”
"But...but if the bridge is not repaired, we...what will we do? Those crazy women will not let us go." Weng Chenglin, who was wearing a large old suit and dressed fashionably, looked at the door direction, with worry all over his face.
"Oh, do you think those guys will let us go after repairing the bridge?" Luan Lihui's voice became louder, filled with grief and anger, "Didn't you listen to that old woman? She said The mother-in-law doesn’t like us, Tomorrow morning we will all be sacrificed alive, our hands and feet cut off and our bodies thrown into the Blackwater River."
"Yes, these damn demons, they will not let us go. The bridge will not be repaired. Let's fight with them. ”
"Yes, fight them!"
"After a while, we will collect as many weapons as possible, and then sneak out and kill everyone we see. Kill one to get back our money, kill two to earn one, and avenge those brothers who died in vain! ”
The crowd was furious, and the power that people unleashed in despair was astonishing. Since they knew there was no way to survive, they simply gave it a try.
"Wait, everyone, listen to what I have to say."
Seeing Li Bai stand up, the chaotic scene suddenly became quiet. As the only woman among these people, Li Bai did not talk to Those crazy women are in harmony with each other, but they defend them at every turn. Everyone sees this.
"Everyone, the bridge must be repaired. This is tonight's task. And if the bridge is not repaired, we people will not be able to leave Heishui Village."
"But as for how to repair the bridge and what it will look like, That It’s our business, I think we can make a fuss about this.”
The fair-faced Lu Zhangyuan, who had blocked a sword for Yao and Shun Yu, thought thoughtfully, “Sister Li, you said before, Those crazy Women may be afraid of water."
"Yes, so Li Bai and I just worked out a plan. If we can make the bridge collapse when the villagers' team is crossing the river, so that the villagers fall into the water, maybe we can. There is a glimmer of hope."
Yao and Shunyu also stood up at this moment and made it clear that he and Li Bai's plan was of great importance. It would definitely not work just by relying on the two of them. They needed everyone's help.
Before proposing this plan, Li Bai and Yao, Shun, and Yu also had arguments. After all, there was still a crimson hidden among them. However, the situation was urgent and we could only take one step at a time. We should be more vigilant in the task and take advantage of every opportunity. .
Compared with the lurking Crimson, the tasks before us and those weird villagers are the most intuitive threats.
Of course, there is also the Insert Life Empress. Until now, they have not figured out what the hell she is.
It didn’t take much effort to convince these people. Knowing that there was still a glimmer of hope, everyone expressed their willingness to cooperate and follow Li Bai’s arrangements.
Weng Chenglin, who was wearing a large suit, wrapped his clothes tightly, and his throat rolled unconsciously, as if he thought of something terrible, "I said, do any of you know what a Jisei kiln is? It sounds weird. Scary.”
"I know this." A loud voice sounded. It was a dark-skinned man with a short stature. The man didn't talk often. He looked fierce and had bulging tendons on his neck. Yao, Shun, and Yu had noticed it a long time ago. When I met such a person, I knew his name was Wu Qiang.
“I used to work as a porter in Bangbang over there at home. I heard a Bangbang who often worked with me say that there was a mountain next to his house, and behind the mountain there was There are many such things, but that was before liberation.”
"In that era when people were being treated unfairly, if the elderly in the family lived a long time, especially if the children and grandchildren were in poor health, and the elderly were particularly energetic, the neighbors would say that the old man was living the lifespan of his children and grandchildren. This is called... "It's very difficult to get rid of it."
It's as simple as finding a remote place on a nearby mountain, either a mountain wall or a bush, digging a cave the size of one person, then looking for a good day, beating gongs and drums, and carrying the dressed old man up the mountain and putting him there. "In the cave."
"From now on, it will be arranged every day. People go up the mountain to deliver meals, one meal a day. The person who delivers the meals carries a brick with him, and builds a brick outside the old man's cave every time he delivers a meal. In this way, the old man will be sealed in the cave for a long time, and the food cannot be delivered. If you go in, there is no need to deliver the food, and the person delivering the food will not go.”
"By the way, there is another saying. If the person delivering food sprains his foot or is injured on the road, then there is a reason. You can lie at home and wait for the injury to recover, which can take as little as 3 or 5 days. , it can last up to ten days and a half, so there is no need to send food.”
A lonely old man would never be able to endure hunger and cold for such a long time, Huang Jun, who wore glasses, was puzzled. raised his head: "Then these old people will grow old If you stay in the cave, won't they find it and go home?"
After a moment of silence, Wu Qiang shook his head slightly and sighed: "No, it is said that few people can eat up to 10. Many of the old people who have no food in the world have not been able to get enough food since they were carried on the mountain. They died within a few days. "
"It must be that the old people's hearts have died since they were carried on the mountain." Thinking of that scene, I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
Wu Qiang paused, and then slowly said: "Actually, it's not all what you think. There are many old people who go voluntarily, and they even force their children to carry them up the mountain. They They thought they were useless and had no way to farm without their labor force. Every more person would have to eat more food. In that era of food scarcity, they wanted to leave food to their children. ”
"For these reasons, this Jisei Kiln also has several names, including Zisei Kiln and Old Man's Cave."
Li Baiyao and Shunyu looked at Wu Qiang with a hint of vigilance in their eyes. After all, it doesn't matter if he knows, and he knows it in such detail, it doesn't sound like hearsay.
Yao and Shunyu glanced at Li Bai, then looked at Wu Qiang and asked: "Brother Wu, are there any rules and taboos about going to the death kiln?"
"Taboos..." Wu After thinking for a moment, Qiang still shook his head, with a simple look on his face. He said sincerely, "I really don't know this, and he didn't say anything at the time."
But if Wu Qiang doesn't say it, Li Bai has to say it. After all, they all have to go to the death kiln tonight. Once If you encounter heavy casualties, tonight's plan will be difficult.
And if Wu Qiang is really crimson, he probably knows these taboos even if he doesn't say them.
“What a coincidence, I have also heard some rumors about Jisei Kiln. It is said that if you can’t see the faces of the people inside clearly when you get close to Jisei Kiln, you should never reply. This is a taboo. "Li Bai looked cautious.
“Why?” Lu Zhangyuan, whose shoulder was still bleeding, asked.
"Because you don't know whether the people inside are dead or not, whether the person talking to you is a human or a ghost." (End of Chapter)
