Chapter 204 Festival
"What if someone had to pull you out of bed in the middle of the night?"
Huo Manshu said very calmly, but the scene she described was extremely scary, "You can pretend to be sleeping, but what if he grabs your shoulders and blows on you face to face."
Cheng Dongdong couldn't help but trembled, but he still said calmly: "This situation you said will not happen."
"No one will care about you on the festival day."
Cheng Dongdong is sure of this.
Everyone in the village is busy on festival days, because if they are not prepared, they may be the ones who die at night.
Although we often watch others die, we are not willing to do so when it is our turn.
"What kind of festival is the Festival Day? Why doesn't your family have that atmosphere?"
Huo Manshu was not sleepy at all. She was here to complete the task, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
"Because my family does not meet the conditions for celebrating the festival."
Cheng Dongdong pointed to the lights that were gradually turning on outside: "Those are all corpse oil lamps. There is no corpse oil in my house."
Cheng Dongdong lowered his voice: "And the most important thing is, my surname is not Wang, my surname is Cheng."
In the past, Cheng Dongdong never thought that his surname, which was incompatible with Wangjia Village, would save his life.
The people in Wangjia Village are feudal and superstitious, and they are a group of brainwashed people.
Since ancient times, Wangjia Village has had an unwritten rule that adult girls cannot exist in Wangjia Village, because there has been a rumor in the village that girls growing up in Wangjia Village will bring disaster to the village.
Therefore, the women in Wangjiacun now are either very young children, or they are all old aunts.
And those old aunts are not from Wangjiacun, they were all kidnapped from outside to survive.
Cheng Dongdong's mother was also abducted from outside.
Unlike those women whose thoughts have become rigid and brainwashed, Cheng Dongdong's mother has always resisted. Cheng Dongdong was even named by his mother.
If Cheng Dongdong's father hadn't died early, Cheng Dongdong would probably be mentally retarded now.
Although life is a little harder now, at least I don't have to do those disgusting things.
"Those girls who were about to come of age are dead."
Huo Manshu asked Cheng Dongdong with certainty: "The corpse oil is made from their corpses."
Some things are easy to associate. Ho Manshu and the others can be teleported back, and those girls who want to escape will definitely not be able to escape.
Moreover, this village has always had this festival day, so the corpse oil must be replenished.
It will be clear at a glance who to supplement.
Cheng Dongdong nodded: "I have seen it with my own eyes. The sister was obviously still alive, but the people in the village turned a blind eye and threw her into a pot."
Thinking of the sister's screams at that time, Cheng Dongdong still had a shadow in his heart, "I also thought about running away, but I couldn't get out. I walked and walked, and finally I would walk back to the village."
Cheng Dongdong felt a little depressed when he said this, "So I want to study outside. As long as I can study outside, I will definitely be able to get out of here."
Unfortunately, it was only one step away. He was obviously the one who provided the back-up funding at the time, but at the last moment he became Wang Xiaoliang.
Cheng Dongdong actually understood that the village chief deliberately refused to let him go because he was afraid that others would know the secret of Wangjia Village.
Wang Xiaoliang was born with a nimble mind and was good at doing business. He was just old enough to go to school, so the village chief naturally asked him to take Cheng Dongdong's place. As for what a festival day is, Cheng Dongdong shuddered: "It was a monster's eating day. The madmen in Wangjiacun regarded the monster's eating as a celebration!"
He saw with his own eyes from the window a monster with a huge head and a small body crawling up from the ground and eating all the people who had died in the village within a month.
Huo Manshu and the others arrived just in time, as it was almost the end of the month, and this monster came up to eat people again.
"The monster you are talking about has a head that looks like an inflatable and a body that looks like chicken legs?"
Huo Manshu seemed to know what the monster Cheng Dongdong was talking about.
But if it was really what she thought, then this Wangjia Village would be even more strange.
"Yes, it is such a terrible monster!"
Cheng Dongdong knew that Huo Manshu was not an ordinary person, and anyone who could know the nightmare was definitely not a mortal.
Having said so much, Cheng Dongdong was not afraid to tell Huo Manshu: "Actually, I originally wanted to sign a contract with that nightmare. I wanted to use the power of the nightmare to kill that monster. I wanted to leave here. It was Wang Xiaoliang who accidentally found out that I had a nightmare and came to snatch the nightmare from me.”
Wang Xiaoliang's actions inadvertently saved Cheng Dongdong's life.
"Wang Xiaoliang is not as good as he appears outside. He is actually a hypocritical person."
In front of Wang Kaiyuan, Cheng Dongdong told everything he knew about Wang Xiaoliang, "Wang Xiaoliang often complained that Mr. Wang gave him too little pocket money.
Speaking of Mr. Wang is just a nice word.
I heard that Wang Xiaoliang recently asked Mr. Wang for a pair of sneakers, but Mr. Wang did not agree.”
Halfway through Cheng Dongdong's words, Wang Kaiyuan already understood what he meant.
He wanted to say that the reason why Wang Xiaoliang hurt him with that nightmare was just because of a pair of sneakers.
Wang Kaiyuan found it a bit funny. He thought that these children would be pretty good as long as they had enough food and clothing, but he didn't expect that he would sponsor an enemy.
"My life, Wang Kaiyuan, is only worth a pair of sneakers?" Wang Kaiyuan shook his head, feeling quite complicated.
"The sneakers are okay, but if it's because of a pencil and an eraser, then you should really cry."
Huo Manshu interjected, "Don't be discouraged. Even if you are a good person, you will be rewarded. I saved you, didn't I? You must know that I don't just save people casually."
Wang Kaiyuan thought about it and realized that this was also the case. He was very lucky to have met Huo Manshu on the eve of the accident.
While several people were talking in low voices, there was a sudden knock on the door of Cheng Dongdong's house, one sound faster than the other.
"Look, someone knocked on the door before midnight."
Huo Manshu was not surprised. She had to complete the task anyway, and there was no way to complete the task without going out.
Just
Looking at the two people around her, one big and one small, who were holding back, Huo Manshu thought about it and summoned the giant snail into the house.
"You all stay in this snail shell. Don't come out until I come, or I won't care if you die."
As long as those two people don't come out of this snail shell, Huo Manshu can guarantee that nothing will happen to them.
The giant snail's defensive power has stood the test of facts.
Wang Kaiyuan wanted to follow Huo Manshu every step of the way. After all, the most dangerous place was also the safest place.
However, he also knew that he was holding himself back, not daring to say much, and just being obedient into a snail shell. Now he has no other requirements, just stay alive.
