Reaper boss

Chapter 58 Sacrifice

Early the next morning, the village was very noisy. Xie Bai and other players hadn't finished their breakfast properly, so they followed the sound and followed the villagers to see what was going on.

Before they got close, they heard the sound of arguing and blaming each other.

"Aunt Cui was going to send the child there in the morning. When she opened the door and went in, she found that the old grandson had suddenly gone crazy, drooling, yelling that he was coming for revenge, that he was going to kill him, and anyone who approached him would be arrested. He was so wounded that he was completely unrecognizable."

"That's right, I saw it too, it's super scary."

"So, the man from Aunt Cui's family found a few people, and finally tied him up. He planned to see if he got better later, and see if he needed to see a doctor. Unexpectedly, wow, when he opened the door, he was already dead. ! The ax was split from the middle of the head, and all the brains flowed out!"

"Isn't it? Who killed the person?!"

"I don't know, wow, the old grandson's mother was crying terribly. She is blaming the people who locked up her son, saying that they killed her son."

According to the discussion of several villagers, I managed to get a general idea of ​​what happened, that is, the woman who escaped yesterday died, and the man also went crazy. After being tied up by the villagers, for some reason, his head was split in half by an axe, and his death was terrifying.

In the middle of the crowd, there was indeed the cry of an old woman, yelling that her child's life was miserable.

She still hugged her dead grandson tightly in her arms, crying loudly: "It was fine yesterday, but suddenly it disappeared, and I am left with a widowed mother, and I have to bring an ignorant little grandson. How to live! Just let me die too!"

The old woman's hair was mixed with a lot of white hair. Although she had wrinkles, she was still in good spirits. Her eyes were piercing and she was full of energy. She knelt in front of her son's corpse and pressed her head against the child's head. Unfortunately sad.

There must be some sadness, but if you look carefully, the old woman's eyes are more calculating. The son died and could not be brought back to life. The family has no money and the living conditions are bad. Why don't those people who kidnapped his son take advantage of the fact that everyone in the village is here now? People spit out some money, and life in the future must be difficult.

So she lowered her head and cried without stopping.

Surrounded by a few men, they were the ones who tied up the old sun. His face was not good at this time. The old sun went crazy and almost hurt them, but he didn't expect that he suddenly died so strangely. This time, instead, they didn't make sense.

Lao Sun's death was tragic and weird. The villagers who saw it were panicked and hairy on their backs. In addition, when Lao Sun went crazy, he said that the ghost had returned for revenge, which made them even more uneasy, but no one dared to say it first. The old grandson just died accidentally, and it has nothing to do with ghosts.

Because Lao Sun's death was attributed to being tied up, he brought down the ax while struggling, and died in an accident. Several people who tied up Lao Sun had to pool money to compensate Lao Sun's mother. It cost more than 1 yuan. When the old grandson saw it, she was displeased immediately, and she yelled: "[-] yuan?! My son's life is so worthless? None of the girls you bought cost more than this price! "

She howled recklessly, and as soon as she finished shouting, the faces of the people around her changed, and she herself paused, realizing that she had said the wrong thing.

The villagers in the periphery looked directly at the few players not far away, with dim eyes.

The players are always panicking, who the hell wants to hear this!It's none of our business that your people howled it themselves!

Xie Bai was calm, and the air was quiet for a few seconds before he slowly raised his head from the mobile game and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

It was completely as if he hadn't heard anything, dazed and innocent.

Seeing him like this, several players pretended not to hear anything, discussing the game in their own right.In fact, from their distance, it is true that they can't hear clearly. It's just that the players' hearing is sharper, so that they can understand the situation in the crowd clearly.

The villagers pondered, dubiously, and because of the affairs of their village and the reason that it was inconvenient for a few outsiders to participate, people watched them go back to the house where they lived.

The players had to leave, but they could still hear some sounds while walking.

The old woman lost her voice because she said something wrong, so she could only insist on asking for [-] yuan. After arguing, those people managed to scrape together nearly [-] yuan and gave it to the old grandson. She let go of her tears freely. The grandson, who was hugged tightly in his arms, lowered his head and picked up the money, carefully distinguishing the authenticity from the fake.

Others may think that she is cold-blooded, and the son is dead and only cares about money, but the old woman doesn't think so. The dead have nothing to do after death, but the living must continue to live, and reality is the most important thing.

The matter was settled for the time being, and the villagers dispersed in displeasure. The old grandson had some money in her hand, so she was able to arrange a good funeral for her son.

On the way back, the old grandson, wife and grandson passed the house where Xie Bai and the others lived. The crazy woman next door suddenly ran out, hugged her grandson and called my child.

The old grandson was in a bad mood today, but when she saw a crazy woman, she became angry and beat the woman without saying a word, pulled her hair as if venting, punched and kicked her, and dragged her grandson back .At first, the grandson was frightened by the mad woman's embrace, but now he felt pain and fear. Thinking of his violent father, he shivered.

The crazy woman didn't let go of the child, and even hugged and touched her head to comfort her, saying that mother is protecting you, don't be afraid.

Later, the dark-skinned man came out in time, stopped the matter before things got worse, and pulled his delirious mother back.

At this time, the crazy woman's hair was ripped into a mess, like dry straw. On the contrary, the old grandson had no problem, but she had a fierce face and spat angrily, "Women from outside are scumbags. If you kill a man, How dare you steal other people's children!"

The dark-skinned man stared at him coldly, and took a step forward, apparently not allowing others to scold his mother.

The old grandson was frightened, her face changed, but she immediately poked her neck up and yelled, "Why? Do you still want to beat the old man? I understand that your mother is a lunatic. A widowed mother who lost her son?!"

After she said this, the nearby villagers were watching again. It is true that dark-skinned men can't touch her casually.

The old grandson saw it, and snorted coldly. Many daughters-in-law in the village were bought from outsiders, and they were not in the village. They wanted to run out of the mountains all day long, so the old grandson didn't like those foreign women very much, especially his son. The old woman had just died, and her son was gone when she turned around. She felt that it was the foreign woman who killed her son, and she became angry when she saw this crazy woman.

She spat viciously towards their door, dragged her grandson and left.

Throughout the whole process, Xie Bai and the others leaned against the door, taking all the dispute into their eyes, not saying a word, and remained expressionless.

Before the dark-skinned man led his mother into the house, he seemed to sense something, turned his head to look over, and met Xie Bai's eyes.The cold, deep gray eyes, just looked at each other for a moment, then he turned his head again, went straight into the house, and didn't look back.

It seems that this village has many secrets, and outsiders are not welcome to explore.

Xie Bai lazily leaned against the door frame, gnawing on the crunchy fruit brought by the female ghost, with a leisurely posture, without any worries.

In winter, it gets dark early in the village. After a group of people had dinner and took turns taking a bath, the sky was completely covered by black cloth, the moon was covered, and only a few stars were dotted. Unfortunately, the light was too small to illuminate the darkness.

Everyone in the village stayed in their own houses at this moment, and few people came out.

Although such a miserable thing happened during the day, it didn't happen in my own home after all. After sighing, I didn't care anymore.

Xie Bai bought a lot of fruit before, and gave the little girl beef jerky to the family. After mocking the old granddaughter's hypocrisy and crying and making pies at night, they started doing their favorite thing—— count money.

All the money they saved was put in an iron box and hidden under a loose brick under the bed. After taking it out, they poured all the money on the bed, counted one by one, and watched more and more money , I was very happy in my heart, not to mention these two days, because those water fish from the city made a lot of money for nothing.

When the iron box fell, all the money fell in the middle of the bed.

The two couples looked greedily, their eyes shining.

But on closer inspection, something seemed wrong.

This money...why does it seem to have changed?

They picked up one and looked at it.

The color is still red, but the human head printed on it has become a bearded man wearing a beaded crown, the image is the Jade Emperor on TV, the denomination has become [-] million, and there are a few words written on it - heaven and earth universal banknotes .

This is Yinsi paper!Mingbi!

The two couples suddenly understood, their faces suddenly turned pale, and they stared at the bed of colorful banknotes, terrified.

Money, which was originally deeply loved, turned into the most terrifying thing. They stared at it in horror, unbelievable, the hairs on their backs stood on end!

The man panicked, exploded from the bed, and jumped to the ground, "What, what's going on?! Who played a prank? They exchanged our money?!"

The woman was also afraid, "Impossible... We hide so secretly, no one should know, except for the matter of my old grandson in the morning, I have never gone out..."

Speaking of Old Sun, I immediately remembered the words that he went crazy, his eyes were blood red, and he screamed that the ghosts had come to take revenge.

The two couples felt a gust of wind blowing behind them in a trance, and they couldn't help shivering. They stared at each other with wide eyes, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes.

Could it be... the dead really came back for revenge?

The iron box, which has always been a treasure, was thrown into the corner by them. The two couples were so anxious that they couldn't sleep, so they turned over and sat up. It may not have been the middle of the night, and they rushed to the village chief's house with a flashlight, and slammed the door.

When the village chief's wife came to open the door, she was taken aback. Their faces were pale, the lights reflected, and their bodies were covered in dirty dirt. They looked like ghosts who had just crawled out of a grave.

The village chief was woken up in the middle of the night, his heart was burning, and his face was very ugly. When he saw the iron box they were holding in their arms, he poured out the ghost paper inside, his face became even darker, and he cursed impatiently: " Do you have to come to the door in the middle of the night to find bad luck!"

The two couples hurriedly explained that this was the money they had saved, and somehow it had become a ghost note, and then tremblingly brought up the matter of the old grandson again.

This time, the village head was shocked, completely awake, and his scalp was numb and panicked.It's just that he has always been in charge of major events in the village, so he was relatively stable. He calmed down and said, "Anyway, you go back tonight first, don't panic. I will organize a sacrifice tomorrow and let the whole village come By the river, I beg the river god to expel the evil spirits and keep them safe."

Hearing this, the couple's expression became much more stable. They breathed a sigh of relief, and then told the village chief that tomorrow they will slaughter the fattest chicken in the house and present it to the God of the River.After finishing speaking, he turned around and turned on the flashlight, walked the dark dirt road, and quickly returned to his home.

The next day, the players discovered that the villagers were gathering for some large-scale event, and the radio in the village was also broadcasting, asking the villagers to bring their things to the river as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time.

The players didn't know the situation, so they followed the past to see.Logically speaking, the villagers would definitely not let them go, but this sacrificial event came suddenly, and everyone was so busy that they didn't bother to find someone to watch them.

They followed the villagers and came to the river.It is not so much a river, but more like a large lake. At the foot of the mountain, you can't see the edge at a glance. The dark and deep lake is so calm that there are no waves, just like a pool of stagnant water.

On the bank of the river, a few strong villagers moved long wooden tables and put them together to make a sacrificial altar, covered with red cloth, and then put out the tribute food one by one, such as roast chicken, fruit plate, aiba, pastries, Every plate is well placed.This will not show that the village is poor at all.

With incense candles inserted in the censer, the villagers kowtowed and saluted in unison. Their faces were solemn and solemn, without their usual messy expressions.

The players stood behind and discussed in a low voice, "What are they praying for?"

At this time, the villagers stood up, and many people took up the offerings together and put them one by one on the wooden boat tied to the shore. After everything was put away, they untied the ropes and let the wooden boat float away by itself.

Fog rose from the surface of the water, thick and hazy, and it was still slowly approaching the shore. It felt as if something was hiding in the fog and was threatening to swallow the small wooden boat.

As soon as the fog appeared, the villagers all lay down on the ground in awe, muttering in their mouths, so many people made the same movement together, it was quite spectacular and weird to watch.

The faces of the players became very subtle.And the dense fog gave them a very dangerous feeling. No matter how you look at it, this village is not as simple as abduction and trafficking. There is a big boss behind it, and it seems that it is not a human being.

Thinking of this, the players' expressions darkened, feeling uneasy and irritable, and the level of difficulty has risen to a higher level than the previous world.

None of them made a sound, they were just bystanders, wanting to see what the villagers were worshiping.But they are silent and don't want to cause trouble, which doesn't mean others think so.

The villagers who were kneeling behind saw the strangers, stood there with a big face, without any respect, and were very dissatisfied, fearing that the gods would blame them, they yelled for them to kneel too without saying a word.

The players were heartbroken, none of them were willing to kneel.They haven't even kneeled before their parents, what kind of thing is this?

Among them, Xie Bai was even more conspicuous. Not only did he not kneel, but he also didn't show any good looks. He took a bite, biting an apple that came from somewhere, showing disgust, "Tsk, it's still a tribute, it's not sweet enough."

The villagers were frightened and furious, they didn't even have time to think about how he could take away the tribute in front of everyone, they just got angry, their eyes widened, and they stood up and wanted to kick Xie Bai, forcing him to kneel to the river god, it must be disrespectful .
