I stayed up all night at the county magistrate's house, and it was really pitiful to see this old bachelor.

When people are middle-aged, they don't have a daughter-in-law.

This county magistrate Zhang's real name is Zhang Dacai, who was originally a wealthy family in the local area, and collected more than 10,000 yuan to donate to the county magistrate, originally thinking that the county magistrate would only be in office for three or four years.

It's just that who thought that he was assigned to this ghost place, and the term of office was original, thinking that it would be over after he got through it, but in the past three years, three years and three years, in a blink of an eye, he has been the county magistrate here for five terms.

Fifteen years of poor life created this Qing official who didn't even care about the outside of his buttocks, and the wife in his hometown remarried with his family property for ten years before he knew that he didn't even have a child until now.

As for why Wang Yan knew about this, after all, it was too rare to find someone who could talk to his heart.

Through what he saw and heard described in the mouth of County Magistrate Zhang, he also roughly judged some basic conditions of the entire Wind Flame Kingdom.

For this country, Wang Yan summed it up in one sentence: there is no past, there is no future.

The only way out for young offspring like them when they are fifteen or sixteen years old is to sell themselves into slavery by all means, not to mention whether they can earn money or not, at least they can eat normal meals.

I think that if I didn't have the memory of my past life and the knowledge of my past life, I was afraid that after I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I would have to let people tie a big iron chain around my neck and play monkey.

My father has not been seen since I became conscious, and I can't help but tremble in my heart when I think about it, my father will not be the same......

I finally came to a shit-like place when I was finally reborn.

By the time Wang Yan woke up, it was already morning, and the county magistrate was not at home, so he was very curious about the wine that the county magistrate drank yesterday.

Quietly open the door of the cellar and go down to steal wine and drink.

I saw a large vat in the depths of the cellar where two people hugged each other, and I thought that this old bachelor had a lot of wine. I took a small pot and secretly poured some, and tasted it, the taste was surprisingly good, and the wine was slightly yellow, thinking that it was made from this grain.

In this vast desert, not to mention that this wine, even the grain, can only be enjoyed by the princes, nobles, wealthy merchants and gentry, and the common people should not think about it at all, especially the food produced in the country is even more scarce, and the places that can produce a large amount of grain in the country of wind and heat can be counted on one hand.

Tons of tons of ......

The small half pot of wine went down, and Wang Yan didn't expect that he would come out to steal wine one day when he was so repulsed by wine.

Just when he was still looking for anything else to eat, the county magistrate's family was pushed away with a bang, which frightened Wang Yan.

"County Chief! County Chief!"

Seeing that there was no one at home, he hurried to look for it elsewhere.

Wang Yan also climbed into the house a little drunk, if he was caught, it would be really nice to say.

Crawling out of the cellar, I only felt a little drunk. As soon as he pushed open the door, Wang Yan was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.

Sand, all sand, the original familiar old and weak town was buried by yellow sand at this time, and the buildings several people high were buried under the sand at this time.

Seeing this, Wang Yan hurriedly ran in the direction of home, and had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

When he returned to the door, his house was still fine, but when the door was opened, his mother was not at home, so Wang Yan hurriedly went out to find it.

"Aunt Li, have you seen my mother? Uncle Wang, have you seen my mother?"

“......”

No one around responded to him, and everyone in the county was digging the dead out of the sand with all sorts of tools.

Wang Yan was also panicked at this time, and hurriedly climbed to the roof of the high place, holding his breath and shouting loudly.

"Mother's !!"

Standing on a high place, you can also look up at the surroundings, and fifty percent of the houses are either buried under the sand or directly blown down by the wind, which can not help but make people feel shocked.

Obviously it was fine yesterday, but how could it be ...... overnight

In the distance, the sacred lake in the county could be seen from the roof of Wang Yan's house, but now it has been replaced by a shallow, somewhat moist-looking sand dune.

Wang Yan was stunned, he knew what it meant.

When the water source is cut off, everyone here will die.

The county magistrate waited for the wind and sand to stop, and then hurriedly came out to bring people to rescue the disaster, and many people died because of it, which is really no choice but to wait for the dust to settle and then think of a way, but no one expected that this holy lake would be buried by the yellow sand overnight.

Something that is simply unthinkable.

The county magistrate called a large group of people, and finally got out the bronze object found yesterday and placed it on the shore of the holy lake.

Worship the heavens.

It's not like in ancient times, when babies or beauties were killed and then sacrificed to the gods to please the gods, but it was more like a voluntary sacrifice.

"Mother, mother!"

Glancing around, I suddenly found that my mother was by the lake, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her fingernails were full of stains.

Wang Yan hurriedly ran over and hugged his mother.

"You kid, where have you gone, where have you gone? ”

The mother cried and scolded, and while pumping Wang Yan's ass fiercely, Wang Yan just hugged her mother.

Her mother's surname is Ye, and she has a single word Ling, and the neighbors call her Miss Ling'er.

The face is beautiful and looks extremely amazing, it is definitely not too much to describe it as a sinking fish and a goose and a shy flower, looking at the usual dress, you can see that you have the upbringing of a large family, but I don't know why you live in such a place where birds don't.

Naturally, my heart for this mother is also complicated, not to mention the sum of my two lives, but also older than this mother in my previous life.

But a mother is a mother after all.

After a brief reunion with loved ones, there was a deathly silence all around.

I don't know when there is an extra stick in the county magistrate's hand, and it looks like a cane in his hand, but Wang Yan looks like a shovel handle no matter how he looks at it.

With both hands pressed on this stick, the whole person is like a sculpture, emmm Western sculpture.

Seeing that this dress is not up to the top, I can see that this is a dress before, and today this is good, a piece of cloth, a rope, and there is a clean mouth on this cloth.

Zhang Dacai's face was gloomy, standing motionless on the high platform, and from time to time someone came forward to report the disaster.

Just for a while, Wang Yan heard that at least a dozen adults and children he knew had their homes collapsed, and many children were ......

Although it is said that I am reborn and relive my childhood. But to let himself pee and play with the mud with these little kids, Wang Yan asked himself if he could do it.

There was a time when Wang Yan peed, and they were with mud.

Just listening to these children dying one by one, the feeling in my heart is very bitter.

Although this group of children may still have the same future as they do now when they grow up, they ......

The population of the old and weak counties nodded in total, and more than half of them were killed and injured overnight yesterday.

Getting this number, Wang Yan really couldn't accept it, why did he die four or five hundred people in one night.

Without waiting for Wang Yan to recover from the figure of 400 people, the county magistrate dragged Wang Yan back to reality with a word.

"Worship the sky!"

This shout was so imposing and majestic that Wang Yan didn't even react.

Mingming was like a dick when he was drinking with himself yesterday, Wang Yan really couldn't put these two scenes on one person.

I saw a bunch of people standing up in the crowd on their own, most of them were old people, and there was no shortage of young women with children.

Seeing that there were seventy or eighty people, they walked over the high platform one after another, found some broken stone chips on the edge of the high platform and cut their wrists, and walked in the direction of the original holy lake.

Wang Yan's eyes were sharp, seeing that the old women who told stories and chatted to him yesterday were also among this group of people, Wang Yan hurriedly ran forward, blocking the way of this group of old women with both hands.

"Get out of the way. ”

"I don't, what are you going to do!" Ignorance, ignorance, helplessness, this is all Wang Yan thinks in his heart now, he still doesn't understand what is the use of sacrificing to the heavens and seeking death.

But when I think about it, all human beings are inherently unequal, and sometimes I even think that the gap between humans is much greater than the gap between humans and animals, and only death is equal.

"Hit!"

Zhang Dacai was high on top, and Wang Yan was dragged to spank as soon as he gave the order, although the beating was not light, but it was all grown up by his neighbors and aunts, and he was not ruthless.

"Eh, I'm old, I can't walk......"

An old lady staggered towards the place of the sacred lake while hammering her back with her hands behind her back, likewise reaching out to pick up a piece of stone stained with blood and sliding it onto her wrist.

The old lady didn't look at him, and told her story as she walked.

"Kid, I didn't tell you the whole story yesterday, when the water dried up, everyone didn't know what to do, people fought with each other, and even the few wells left in the city couldn't support so many people, so we started voting, and the final result was that people over fifty-five years old should die, those who got sick should die, those who took the lead in making trouble should die, and in the end, even those who looked ugly should die...... Fortunately, the old lady was good-looking at the time. ”

Blood gushed from the old lady's wrist and headed for the center of the lake.

A bright red trail gradually spread to a small depression in the middle of the lake, and there were many people standing by the lake, some of whom lost their vitality soon after their wrists were cut, and some of them were now lying in the sand and still had a trace of consciousness, trying to open their eyes and enjoy the last short period of their lives.
