Chapter 101: The Woman Who Cried All Night
After all, the hell mission is tonight, and I haven't found a breakthrough in the matter yet, so it's worth it to spend 150 merit points if I can find something.
The picture in front of me turned.
More real than the first time.
The sea breeze howled, and the cold night rain seemed to lap on his cheeks.
Next to a ship docked on the edge of the bay, two men, one thin and one strong, were the same men in the photo, and they looked at the faint light that could be seen in the distance on the sea, where there seemed to be a small island.
The sturdy man looked in the direction of the island, his eyes were a little afraid, "They can't just leave, those crazy people will kill us!
The thin man patted him on the shoulder, "So only we can keep the village, this trip is likely to be life-threatening, but for the sake of the village, neither of us can retreat!"
The man turned and shouted behind him, "Everyone knows what is going on in the village now!
Are they going to burn down the island for the sake of the village?
The screen turns again.
Women in hospital gowns were taken aboard the ship, crying, despairing, struggling, but tied up in the boat and driven to unknown places. The fires on the island were filled with the screams and wails of men.
The screen turns again.
In the humble room, the sturdy man in the photo kicked over the table and roared at the thin man sitting by the doorrail smoking, "What a bad idea! They are all crazy! The children they gave birth to are also crazy! If this continues, our Longtai Village will become a crazy village!"
The thin man smoking a cigarette had a painful face, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! But without women, the incense in our village will be broken!"
In the corner, a woman with messy hair and tattered clothes curled up, holding the child in her arms tightly.
The screen transitions again.
In the silence of the night, on the barren mountain overgrown with weeds, groups of villagers carried lamps up the mountain, carrying small coffins and straw mats, and some knelt on the dirt slope and cried in a low voice, "Why girls? Why are all girls?"
When they went down the mountain, what those parents hummed in their mouths was the nursery rhyme that Lu Chu had heard just now, the nursery rhyme of traveling to keep safe.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chu's heart was full of sadness.
Base...... It wasn't to set fire to the island for the safety of the whole village.
It may be that Longtai Village is located in a remote location, the transportation was not developed back then, and the village was closed to more men and fewer women, forming a situation where there are more and more singles, and they started the idea of the abandoned madhouse.
The children born to the captive women inherited the mother's disease, and as this situation became more and more, the villagers were afraid, so they simply killed their children and buried them in the mountain, and the village seemed to have received some kind of curse, and most of the children born from generation to generation were girls, and many people directly strangled the female fetus in swaddling clothes, and also buried them on the barren mountain.
It became popular in the village to go up and down the mountain to sing the nursery rhyme of peace, as if that would not be disturbed by the souls of the children who had died in the tragedy.
"Lu Chu, Lu Chu!"
"Lu Chu, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
The eyelids slowly opened a slit, and the bright sunlight shone into the room, which was a little dazzling.
Already morning?
Lu Chu sat up slowly, looking at Ji An, who was nervous, as well as Wang Yuxuan, who was frowning, Gu Mengmeng, who looked flustered, and others.
She sat up slowly, there was still a tear left in the corner of her eye, she reached out to wipe it away, Lu Chu raised her eyes to look at the black and white photo on the wooden shelf on the wall, "It's okay, maybe I'm sleepwalking." ”
