When the mirror ends

As soon as the space was transformed, the consciousness of the world brought Peng Zefeng to a barren village.

They were suspended in mid-air, looking at the small village below that looked like reality but only existed in the past. The real feeling was as if they had traveled to that time and really lived with those villagers.

The villagers don't look very good, and the word yellow and thin is the best way to describe it.But even if they couldn't walk steadily, they still insisted on working in the fields, as if this could change the drought of the land and save the dying crops.

It is simply impossible that if only they had a little rationality, they would realize that what they were doing was futile and would only add more burden to their hungry and tired bodies.

Unless there is a heavy rain, this drought will only consume people and animals here.

But when people are almost desperate, they can't see the situation clearly. Even if it's useless, they can only bite the bullet, otherwise they have to admit that they are a trapped beast waiting to die, and they can only wait to die.

If they are unwilling to accept such a result, then they can only move as much as possible, even if it is useless.

The dry river bed was already full of cracks, and the cracks in the ground were deeper and bigger. Not to mention the crops, most of the weeds were yellow, and many of them had become complete fuel. A little spark could burn the whole land.

But the people in the field are crumbling, and the people by the river have obsession on their faces.

World awareness brought Peng Zefeng closer.There was a man holding back a sack carrying a sack. There were living creatures in the sack, and the living creatures were struggling all the time.You don't need to think about it, you can know what the man's actions mean.

"The drought has led to years of famine, and they've been trapped here for years, eating what they can and what they can't...the boundaries are gone."

The World Consciousness knows all the things in all periods and places on the earth. All these things will be recorded in the database, and it has all the permissions of the database.

Like now, it is looking at the memory of the world, while searching for the relevant background, and supplementing Peng Zefeng's explanation.

Food boundaries?Peng Zefeng couldn't make any judgments on the situation at that time, but he was a little uncomfortable. He felt uncomfortable for those weak and weak people who had no choice but to be sacrificed.

There is no choice, and they are traded just because they are weak.

No freedom, abandoning dignity, abandoning the bottom line, just to survive.

The man carried the sack to another family's house. The man from that family looked at the man silently for a while, then opened the door halfway, and entered the house.After a while, he also came out with a sack.

Inside the sack was a heavy object of similar size, but the man seemed to have knocked the living creature out, without the slightest sign of struggling.

The two complete the exchange, and the man starts walking back.

It may be because he is tired, or he may have a heavy psychological burden. In short, the man's steps are getting heavier.

"In this case..." How many?

Peng Zefeng knew the answer before he finished asking, how could there not be many?In times of famine and war, nothing is impossible, so how could such a thing be an exception?

Unable to bear to watch it any longer, Peng Zefeng wanted World Consciousness to stop following that man, but World Consciousness shook his head and signaled him to continue watching.

After the man returned home, he put the sack on the ground, sat on a small stool beside him, resting his elbows on his thighs, covering his face with his hands, his body trembling slightly.

After some ideological struggle, he reached out to the sack, opened the rope at the mouth of the sack, and then pulled it down.Every movement of his was extremely slow, and after a while, he only showed the child's face.

That face was quite familiar to Peng Zefeng, although the difference was a bit big, he could still be identified as the embarrassing person later on.

The next sentence of World Consciousness verified his conjecture: "That child is the spirit body in your clinic, and his name is Fang Yincheng."

When the man saw the child's face, the pain on his face was even worse. Just when he seemed to be determined to do something, a little girl with pigtails ran in outside the door.She was too young and didn't know what was going on. She pulled the man's sleeve, "Father, what's wrong with this brother? Why is he sleeping in a sack? Can we carry him to the bed to sleep?"

The man hugged the little girl in his arms, and said with red eyes: "Daddy, daddy listens to you."

The little girl was very happy, she didn't know that she saved another child, she just helped her father move him to the bed.

After the man put the little boy to bed, he went to the field to find his wife.

He hugged her vigorously, and then smiled, "Ameng, you have seen me handle prey before, right? Do you remember how to do it?"

The woman's eyes were still red, she didn't understand why the man suddenly asked her this.

"Remember? If you remember, come to the back room in a quarter of an hour, where I used to handle the prey." The man's tone was anxious, as if he was afraid that the woman would not know how to deal with it, so he wished he could come by himself.

The woman was still immersed in grief, she didn't react to anything, she just nodded her head under the man's eagerly looking eyes.

After a quarter of an hour, when she came to the back room, she didn't know what the man meant.

There is no prey to be caught in the mountains, and no one is needed to cultivate the fields. There are no men as the backbone. In this case, it makes no difference whether a family has a man or not.

But you can live with food.

It was the last thing he could do for his family.

The woman cried loudly, but she did not forget to block the door leading to the back room of the house.

For a while after that, the two children were alive and kicking, and the old man in the family was also flushed.Because of the great stimulation, the woman's desire for life was particularly strong, and she even survived the drought with her two children and the elderly.

I just survived the drought, but failed to usher in a good life.

War happened.

The people in the village didn't know where they got the secret method. They said that other places used this method to save the people in the whole village. They were obviously near the battlefield, but no one was affected.

It's just that this secret method requires sacrifices.

A young, unmarried, crowned man.

This condition is simply nonsense, but at that time there were very few unmarried men, so people said such a condition in order not to affect themselves.

Fang Yincheng happened to be the only unmarried man in their village who was crowned.

When he was 17 years old, his family arranged a matchmaker for him, but the old man in the family was seriously ill and needed daily care, so the woman didn't care and let it go.After that, Fang Yincheng took care of all kinds of matters of taking care of the elderly in the family. One year later, Grandpa still left, leaving Grandma lying in bed and needing help in daily life.

In addition, I have to take medicine once every three days, and the family's money is spent on it. I have no savings and can't make up the bride price. The wedding has been delayed like this.

Who would have thought that this could lead to a "killing disaster".

When Fang Yincheng was put up on the sacrificial altar, Grandma's eyes dimmed, Grandma was buried on the collapsed mountain road, and Grandma worked as a servant girl in an official's house without knowing it.

That year, A-mei went to the market with A-Niang to sell things, and she was chosen to be a maid. She was able to raise almost all the medicine money these years.

But now, no one will ever receive the money she sent back.

When Fang Yincheng was put on the rack, he felt resentment in his heart, but he was relieved thinking that his aunt and sister could still be protected.The only thing that hurt was his grandma. Seeing him being pulled away, she couldn't move, and she didn't know if she could last until his grandma came back...

At that time, although Fang Yincheng wasn't willing, he wasn't really holding a grudge, it's just that the method of sacrifice was much crueler than he thought.

Because it is to protect this land, people must be buried in this land, and then a formation is drawn on it.

The villagers dug a big deep hole and put Fang Yincheng in it. He was tied up and could only maintain a standing posture and was helpless.A group of them surrounded him and filled the ground, the feeling of oppression became stronger and stronger, and the fear of death enveloped him.In the end, only one head remained exposed.

They began to draw a formation with his head as the center, and when the various rituals were completed, the crowd dispersed, leaving only two people guarding the formation from being destroyed.

At the beginning of Fang Yincheng's consciousness, he was still quite clear. He saw the word "prayer" written all over the formation in front of him, and the faces of the two people not far away could not restrain their joy.

It's just that the pressure on his body is getting heavier and heavier, and the feeling of suffocation invades his nerves little by little. After a few hours, he already feels that he can't breathe.The most direct reaction was his complexion, which had changed from the initial yellowish luster to blue-purple, and his eyes protruded outwards.

How much he wishes to have a good time, but no one will satisfy him.

"Do you know why he would go berserk when he heard the word 'worry'?" World Consciousness suddenly asked.

When Peng Zefeng heard the voice of world consciousness, he realized that he had held his breath for some time, and his whole body was icy cold.The feeling of breathing fresh air again only adds to the anger that can't be vented: can people who try to achieve happiness in this way really enjoy their happiness with peace of mind?

I didn't dare to think about what unacceptable things happened later, but I had to figure it out.Peng Zefeng clenched his fists, "What happened...what?"

The world consciousness fast forwarded the time a little, at this time Fang Yincheng was dead, and his soul was floating among the villages.

The souls who have just left the body have no memory, they just float and walk randomly in the place where they lived before, and then walk in the direction of their closest relatives.

"People will stay in the world for a period of time after death, and they will have no memory during this time. Then, under normal circumstances, they will go to a certain place to wait for reincarnation after 7 days." The world consciousness suddenly looked at Peng Zefeng, "Abnormal spirits will With their obsessions, they have been lingering in the world, slowly obliterating their humanity."

Peng Zefeng knew that the world consciousness wanted to tell him that Fang Yincheng was in such a situation, and that he had been wandering in the world.By the time he showed up at his clinic, he was just human, with not much humanity left in him.

But he doesn't care how much "human" part is left in him, he just knows that it is his patient, although it is a bit special, it doesn't matter.

He just wanted to figure out what made Fang Yincheng obsessed.
