Chapter 493: Sacrifice
Zhao Biao hurriedly grabbed half of the sleeve that had been torn off earlier and wiped Ma Wanli's sweat, and looked at the pavilion curiously and said, "That must be!" How can I not know Uncle Ma, you will not be a traitor. Besides, when you tied me up and secretly shoved the back of my ass with such a big guy, no matter how stupid I was, I had to know that there was a problem. By the way, what were you stuffing at the time? While asking, he pulled off his clothes and touched his back, Ma Wanli hurriedly waved his hand: "Lightly hand, lightly, those are the two grenades that your Uncle Ma found on Ma Qi's corpse." Don't blow it up with your baby. ”
Outside the pavilion, the sky was dark, he opened his throat and shouted and cursed with his mouth, grabbed the whistle and blew it playfully, but he couldn't hear any movement in the pavilion. In the pavilion, Zhao Biao carefully took down the grenade and put it in his waist pocket, pointed to a scarlet wooden statue in the pavilion and shouted: "Uncle Ma, look, Wutong God, there is really the Wutong God you said!" But why is the paint so dirty and blurry? ”
Ma Wanli stood up, panting heavily, took the sweat-wiping sleeve and wiped it vigorously on the red wooden statue a few times: "Listen to the tone, you have been making up stories as Uncle Ma." Is Uncle Ma the kind of person who runs the train with his mouth full? You see this is a snake head, this is a hedgehog head, and this is a yellow wolf head...... Which of these is paint, they are all the human blood and beast blood that are smeared on the statue of Wutong God during the annual memorial! ”
After being wiped by Ma Wanli, the wooden statue gradually revealed its original appearance. The five beast heads were grouped together on a slender body draped in robes, strangely grouped in a circle, revealing a hideous expression in all directions of the pavilion. On the wooden body under the rat's head, the white rat raised by the big black sky and the other advanced rats were greedily licking the layers of blood, ignoring the whistle blowing in the big black sky outside the pavilion gate, which was somewhat similar to the expression of Ma Wanli who looked at the head of the Wutong God and talked to himself. Zhao Biao was taken aback, afraid that Ma Wanli would be stunned by this strange idol, so he hurriedly pulled Ma Wanli's sleeve: "Uncle, what's wrong with you, it's okay?" Doesn't it mean that this Lin family is a well-known good family in Mulin City, how can there be such an evil image hidden under the granary? ”
Ma Wanli was standing in front of the statue and muttering to himself in a daze, and was awakened by Zhao Biao's pull, coughed twice, and said: "Yes, who would have thought that the descendants of the Lin family, who are kind and generous, actually worship the gods of Wutong." You see that these five gods are so red and black, I don't know how many years of worship, how much blood has been smeared, and how many babies have been killed, hehe, hehe. Zhao Biao looked at Ma Wanli's gritted teeth and sneered expression, became more and more uneasy, and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?" How do I feel...... I think you're going to get weird when you enter this pavilion. ”
Ma Wanli gave Zhao Biao's head a chestnut chisel fiercely: "Phew, what did your baby say?" I'm like you, I didn't know there was such a sky down there before I jumped into the hole, how could it be weird? Zhao Biao sighed: "You don't know? You don't know that there is a treasure cave of the Lin family here? So what are you talking about with the devil outside?! ”
Zhao Biao's voice was louder, causing the white mouse to look back obsessively, Zhao Biao immediately leaned towards Ma Wanli in fear, who thought that the white mouse was like a smoker who had smoked enough smoke in a tobacco house, and continued to turn around and lick the blood on the wooden statue without paying attention. Ma Wanli chirped: "Look at your baby, cowardly, your Uncle Ma has the ability to introduce it, but he doesn't have the ability to accept it?" Let it be happy a little longer, and see how I pick it up. ”
Zhao Biao said strangely: "What's wrong with this guy, I saw it very fierce and clever earlier, how did it become this virtuous when I entered the pavilion?" Ma Wanli seemed to be addicted to smoking by the appearance of a white mouse, swallowed his saliva, hurriedly took out a cigarette, leaned into Zhao Biao's private lighter and took a greedy puff, and turned in the lung cavity for a long time before reluctantly spitting out the smoke ring, and immediately his whole face was shrouded in smoke: "Hehe, Uncle Ma didn't have time to tell you about this." For Wutong, after the wooden statue of the Wutong God at home is carved, it is not as simple as brushing the varnish. In order to do everything possible to keep the five links, in addition to all kinds of offerings, when the wooden statue is just carved, from the head and neck of the five beast gods downward, all the way to the robe hanging down to the feet, each side has to be painted with the beast god's favorite food, so as to keep the fairy spirit of the five gods from floating out of the wooden statue. The head of the snake has to be coated with frog saliva on the side of the frog, which is to hang the frog in the sun and expose it to the pith water oozing out of the epidermis; The hedgehog head has to be coated with earthworm powder, which is a powder made by drying and grinding earthworms; The yellow wolf's head has to be coated with male eggs, that is, the rooster's testicles are mashed and mixed with egg yolks; The fox's head is coated with hen bone meal, which must be a full-age nine-pound yellow bone. On the side of the rat's head, it is the rat's favorite rat fruit. This rat fruit is a kind of small red shrub berry that grows on the ground is not high, it is rare, if the mouse smells the smell of the rat fruit, it is a group of cats guarding the nest, it will also rush out desperately to bite it, and it can't stand the temptation at all......"
Zhao Biao nodded and said, "Ah, I understand." If this rat fruit is eaten by a rat, it will get drunk...... Ma Wanli shook his head and said, "The rat fruit does not have this effect. I told you what was painted red on this wooden statue, right? ”
Zhao Biao thought for a while and said, "You said it was child blood." Ma Wanli squinted at Zhao Biao and said, "Yes." Baby's blood. Do you think that the child is bleeding and he hurts, and when he hurts, he cries and makes a fuss too much, what should he do if he alarms outsiders? Zhao Biao shuddered when Ma Wanli saw it, and said with a forced smile: "Shut your mouth?" ”
Ma Wanli shook his head and said, "Then it's not suffocating?" I told you that you have to use live child blood. Zhao Biao unconsciously distanced himself from Ma Wanli: "This, I don't know about this." Ma Wanli spat out another mouthful of smoke, his face gradually became hideous, and he said in a low voice: "Anesthetic, they will give the baby sugar water mixed with anesthetic first." This not only ensures that outsiders are not alarmed during the whole worship ceremony, but also ensures that the baby is never hurt to death...... You go and look at the table against the door, and the big black sky is full of strength, and it looks very shaky. ”
Zhao Biao didn't know why he suddenly had an indescribable strangeness to Ma Wanli at the moment, he couldn't wait to stay away from Ma Wanli, so he agreed to leave and pushed the table, feeling that although the table was shaking badly, it had not moved, and he was about to turn back and talk to Ma Wanli, when he was suddenly stunned.
The outside of the wooden door is broken and the paint is broken, but the paint inside is still bright, through the reflection of the paint under the flashlight, Zhao Biao saw Ma Wanli next to the Wutong statue secretly biting on the wooden statue, looking up to see that Zhao Biao had not looked back, his face was weirdly twisted and terrifying, and he lowered his head and gnawed a few bites. Zhao Biao instantly turned eighteen knots in his heart, thinking about more rats outside, after all, he still didn't dare to open the door and escape, coughed first, and said, "Uncle Ma, the table is fine." Then he turned around.
Ma Wanli hurriedly straightened up, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Your baby come here, I have something to say to you. Zhao Biao looked at a few deep tooth marks on the statue, and said with a forced smile: "You say, I can hear it when I stand here." ”
Ma Wanli said angrily: "You can hear the dark sky outside!" Why are you so far away from me? Come here! Zhao Biao took a step back and shook his head: "I...... I'd better stay away from you. Seriously, Uncle Ma, I always feel that you have changed since you got into a hole, as if you have been put on the body by something. Ma Wanli was stunned and scolded: "What kind of bastard is this!" How did I change? Zhao Biao was a little farther away: "I...... I can't tell. Anyway, I think you know a little too much, and you can't hide half of your speech, and you don't look like the oily-headed and cowering Uncle Ma before - hey, I'm not scolding you, but really...... I, now listening to you, I feel chills on my body, and I can't believe it. ”
Ma Wanli didn't speak, stared at Zhao Biao for a while, and saw that Zhao Biao was even more uncomfortable, and finally Ma Wanli sighed: "If I knew less, would you still be alive to talk now?" I've been feeding the rats with the Ma brothers for a long time! Come here, come here, Uncle Ma will understand when he says it. Zhao Biao swallowed his saliva, looked at the blood paint that Ma Wanli's mouth hadn't had time to wipe off, and quietly took out the grenade that Ma Wanli had stuffed on his body earlier, shook his head and said, "You say, it's okay to be quiet." I have good ears, and I can hear it when I stand here. ”
Ma Wanli smiled gloomily: "Dare to love your baby and Uncle Ma!" How old are you, can't you get by? If you don't come, I'll pass. Zhao Biao was squeezed by Ma Wanli's face and turned red, and somehow looked at Ma Wanli's smiling face and the expression of the five-way god beast head with a weird smile becoming more and more similar, seeing Ma Wanli stepping forward, he raised the grenade in a hurry, pulled the string and shouted: "Don't come here!" Come back and I'll pull the strings! ”
Ma Wanli was startled, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't, your baby is crazy!" Uncle Ma, why can't you stop you, you want to play with me? Zhao Biao's head shook like a rattle: "No, Uncle Ma, you're not sorry for me, I, I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that you are no longer the Uncle Ma who guarded the flag with me on the ground!" ”
Ma Wanli stomped his feet and said, "My master, why are you confused at this juncture?!" Let me tell you, after all these years, there is not much left of the anesthetic effect in the blood of the child on the wooden statue. In a little while, we'll be in big trouble when this white-haired rat wakes up! Zhao Biao looked at the rats that had stopped licking the wood and were lying on the ground and twitching, and then looked at Ma Wanli, who was anxious to walk to his side, he didn't know what to do for a while, and suddenly shouted: "You said, after entering the pavilion, you told me that you didn't know there was such a ghost place here before jumping into the hole." But as soon as you took out the golden beans on the Ma family brothers in the cave, you said that you knew that the Lin family had a treasure cave here. Is it normal that you speak so incoherently and incomprehensibly when you do things that people can't understand at all?! Do you think I didn't see you gnawing on the idol? How do you make me believe you?! ”
