The corpse has long been broken, the flesh and blood have been eroded by the years, and the most conspicuous thing is that this white bone corpse is incomplete, obviously missing the bones of the left hand, and the emptiness is very conspicuous.

"Ye Jushi, this is the 'ghost' in the river, the source of your uneasiness... Poor Dao is right. Li Yun took out the folding fan, hid his face and said indifferently: "Isn't it very similar to the legendary punishment, dipping in the pig cage? Put a person in the pig cage, and then sink to the bottom of the river, which was used to punish the person who came out of the wall... Also, as a sacrifice. ”

When he saw this white bone corpse, Ye Weiguo's expression was a little unnatural, and the old lady of the Qian family was even more excited and wanted to pounce on it, still muttering about living, living, living...

Almost everyone was nervous and uneasy by the corpse out of the cage, this corpse in the village is a proper homicide, where have the villagers seen this battle...

"Is this an evil spirit? But even this corpse can't hurt the old lady of the Qian family like this, she was driven crazy by this ghost. Ye Weiguo came out to defend and said: "Maybe this corpse fell into it before, there is no way, our ancestors punished adultery by dipping in the pig cage, and it is normal for a corpse to appear in it..."

The punishment method of dipping the pig cage is a punishment in ancient times, and even in modern rural areas, especially in the village where information is blocked, the village chief basically acts as a court to pronounce a person's sin, and it is not uncommon to dip the pig cage.

"Forensic doctors don't lie, if they call the police, they can quickly find out the year of the corpse, but even if it is checked out the year, it can't be good, so many years of unsolved cases, all the clues have long been cut off, maybe the murderer of the year is gone, isn't it?" Li Yun looked at Ye Weiguo with an indifferent face, and then looked at this white bone corpse.

Qian Kai looked at this corpse in a daze, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak...

This corpse, as if there was something special about him...

Ye Weiguo's wife came out with an excited face and said: "You dead Taoist priest, let people make such an unfortunate thing, you go, people like you are not welcome in the village..."

At this time, Su Li slipped out of Li Yun's arms, and everyone noticed the suffocating little fox, which rushed to the front of the old lady of the Qian family, and bit the rope that bound the old lady Qian.

Click-

After biting it open, he got back into Li Yun's arms with lightning speed, only poking out a small head and secretly observing .jpg.

"Survive... Survive... I want to survive..."The old lady of the Qian family rushed out, everyone thought that the old lady of the Qian family was going to rush to the river, but they didn't expect that the old lady of the Qian family rushed to the front of this cage...

"You're going to... Survive..."

Ye Weiguo hurriedly asked people to pull the old lady of the Qian family away, and the young adults also followed suit, what does this holding bone really look like.

"Quickly pull the old lady of the Qian family away, what does this look like, there are outsiders here. ”

However, I don't know where the old lady of the Qian family got the strength, so she refused to let go of the dry bones in her hands...

Now it is difficult for everyone to do it, and they don't dare to use too much strength, for fear of throwing this already weak old woman down, which is putting the cart before the horse...

"Hey, you should know who this corpse is, or what do you mean by you telling me to fish it up... You say..."Qian Kai came to Li Yun with an excited face and asked, and he didn't care when he was wet.

Li Yun closed the folding fan, lightly pointed to the bones held by the old lady of the Qian family, and said lightly: "The name of this corpse is called Zhong Wei." ”

When the name Zhong Wei was mentioned, Ye Weiguo's face suddenly froze, and he looked at Li Yun in disbelief, and his expression was like saying "How do you know"...

At this time, Ye Weiguo looked at Li Yun with a pleading face and said.

"This is our village's business, you don't have to mix it, we will take this corpse and bury it, so that this corpse of unknown origin can return to its roots..."

Ye Weiguo's attitude changed so much that the people around him were suspicious, and some people sensed that something was wrong.

Don't... Is this corpse related to Ye Weiguo? and Ye Weiguo, who always thinks about the village?

[Could it be that Ye Weiguo, who seems to be kind-hearted, is actually a murderer?]

The peasant women and men who had just stood next to them to discuss the exorcism of ghosts quietly stayed away from Ye Weiguo, for fear of being involved with this murderer, and their eyes became gloomy.

Ye Weiguo didn't care about the attitude of the people in the village towards him, he just continued to step forward, looking at Li Yun with a pleading face, and he looked like he would kneel down if you didn't agree.

"You've collected the money, you've done the rituals, you don't have a reason to stay, do you... It's not good for everyone to say it. ”

"Well, the Poor Dao has indeed done this Fa, and it has been done very seriously, but the duties of the Poor Dao have not been completed yet. Li Yun looked at Ye Weiguo indifferently and said: "You let the poor road come, didn't you let the poor road come to exorcise the ghost? This ghost was not expelled, the poor road is deserved to receive this money..."

Ye Weiguo pointed at Li Yun with an excited face and said.

"There are no ghosts with Ben, where did the ghost come from, it's just a rotting corpse! There are ghosts, we will ask another person to expel them, you don't have to be so concerned..."

Li Yun walked slowly in front of Ye Weiguo, and pointed at Ye Weiguo's heart with the folding fan in his hand with a smile.

"Of course there are ghosts, but this ghost is a ghost of the heart, a ghost tormented by nightmares in the heart. ”

"Heart ghost..."Ye Weiguo muttered and lowered his head.

Li Yun continued to stare at Ye Weiguo's eyes and said.

"Let everyone see, your heart, your heart..."

A round of illusion appeared in front of Li Yun and Ye Weiguo.

The smoke of gunfire was everywhere, it was a war-torn era, and it was still the same place.

As always, the poor village that is no different from the present -

The scene in front of me is like a silent movie, there is no sound, there is no earth-shattering movement, you can only see that in this poor village in front of you, there is nothing in front of you, just like this silent movie.

Li Yun felt that in fact, at this time of the year, there was no sound...

And the center of this silent film is a group of ragged and thin young people, carrying a person to the small river by carrying a pig cage, but this bamboo cage is not filled with pigs, it is a person, a thin middle-aged man with drooling at the corner of his mouth, this middle-aged man is stubborn, more dry and thin than the young people around him, and the young people around him are different, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth are smiling, smiling stupidly, and talking stupidly...

And behind this group of ragged young people, there was also a young girl, this young stupid girl chased the pig cage like this, trying to stop people's steps, but it was useless, a stupid girl could not stop the team of teenagers in the village.

In the pig cage, the demented Zhong Wei was chanting to the young old lady of the Qian family in front of him.

There is no sound, but you can easily discern what the mouth shape represents.

[Live...]

The infinite loop of these three words is the last words left by the stupid Zhong Wei to his daughter.

The illusion was broken, and Ye Weiguo was pulled out of the illusion.

"You told Poor Dao that the old lady of the Qian family became crazy because of fright and dementia, the real situation is that the old lady of the Qian family has been crazy like this from before to now, this is a genetic disease, and it is precisely because of this that you chose the Zhong Wei family as a sacrifice..."Li Yun looked at Ye Weiguo with an indifferent face and said: "The person who killed this Zhong Wei is not you, not others, but everyone present except the old lady of the Qian family... It is for these reasons that these old people do not dare to let their grandchildren come near this place, and they do not dare to go near this place where their sins are buried. ”

Just when Ye Weiguo's wife wanted to say gossip to confuse the public and slander people, Ye Weiguo himself stopped her and took the heaviest step in her life.

Knelt down in front of the pig pen...

"That's right... I admit it... That's what we did... What happened back then..."

"There was a famine in the village, there was no harvest for a year, many people starved to death, including our parents, and the only food was left for us young people, so we planned to sacrifice to the river god and let the river god save our fields... I was selected by lot... Zhong Wei of the Zhong family... Let him be a living sacrifice to the god of the river..."

The air was quiet, and almost all the younger people were stunned for a while, they didn't expect that there was such a black history in the village, even if most of the people present were not highly educated, but they all knew that the ignorance and cruelty of the living sacrifice...

Qian Kai finally knew why he had a strange feeling for this corpse.

This corpse is his maternal great-grandfather, a relative who is connected by flesh and blood.

"It's not a lottery, because it's a stupid patient, and there won't be any follow-up trouble if you sacrifice him alive... At least that's how I saw it at the time, but unfortunately, even if it was sacrificed alive, the famine was still a famine, nothing changed, and many people died, and only you people survived. Li Yun said indifferently: "This is your inner ghost, the nightmare that has plagued you for many years... In the subsequent famine continuation, you learned that the so-called living sacrifice could not change anything, and in the end, only some people, including you, lived to the present with guilt and remorse..."

Ye Weiguo lowered his head with a heavy face, and did not deny it anymore, the old people around him were the same, Ye Weiguo admitted it, and he had nothing bad to admit.

There are also some old people around who are not very cold, the law does not blame the public, it has been so many years, and there is not even a case record... What if it is revealed now?

Li Yun looked at the faces of these old people and knew what they were thinking now.

"You must be thinking, the law does not blame the public, the matter is now, there is nothing to punish you, you are wrong, very wrong..."Li Yun pointed to the people present and said lightly: "The heart ghost is born from the heart, and if the heart ghost does not fall, it will follow the person for a lifetime, and you will live with this poor guilt for the rest of your life... Isn't it?"

The heart is full of ghosts...

Everyone was silent, but Qian Kai came to his grandmother, watching her go crazy holding the bones of a lost hand, muttering about living, living, living...

"Why... My maternal great-grandfather's hand bones will disappear..."Qian Kai was silent for a moment and said: "Even if you can't do anything now, let him settle down in the ground, our family can't make trouble for your family, after all, we also have to live in the village..."

The incomplete bones were lying there, and some old people didn't know why, so they suddenly vomited on the spot, looking at the incomplete skeleton as if they recalled the nightmare of the year, haunting in their hearts and unable to remove it for a long time.

"Didn't Poor Dao just say?" Li Yun looked at these old people, they all turned their heads, even the most stubborn Ye Weiguo's wife lowered his head, there was no taboo, pointed to the incomplete skeleton and said: "Back then, there was a famine in this village, even if Zhong Wei was sacrificed, this famine still existed, people were not fed and clothed, but some people survived in that environment... Some people may survive the famine by eating turf, but there are still others who have to rely on more radical methods to survive. ”

There was a famine back then...

Lost a hand...

Qian Jiqi pointed at Ye Weiguo with a look of disbelief and said, "Could it be that you..."

In the end, the money was saved and he still didn't say those two words, the word for the devil.

"You are simply not human..."Qian Kai looked at these old people and felt cold, he originally thought that it was enough for unemployed vagrants to play cards and gamble at the entrance of the village every day, but he didn't expect to see even more excessive things today.

"I... What can we do... We were desperate too! We wanted to survive, there was no other way but this, what did we do wrong? He wanted to live, and we wanted to live!" one of the old ladies danced with excitement, waving her cane in her hand, not admitting her mistake at all.

The old lady's family, including her grandson, quietly walked away from her a few steps, and Li Yun could think that the old lady would probably be alone when she returned home.

"The rest is up to you, lay people, to decide whether to expel the demons or let them go and live in nightmares for the rest of your life... It's up to you. ”

Li Yun smiled indifferently and left here slowly, leaving only the villagers who had ghosts in their hearts and no ghosts in their hearts, and the scene was stalemate, and they didn't know what expression to use to face each other.

Ye Weiguo knelt on the ground, looked at the corpse in front of him and muttered.

"What a ghost... If we don't get rid of it, how can our lives be peaceful..."
