I nodded, "I did guess some!" ”

Old Man Song just looked at him leisurely and continued: "The Nightmare Art has always been in the hands of women, and they gathered together and gradually formed a small tribe. In the age of male power, the balance that had always been broken was broken, and the Nightmare Clan hid in seclusion, hiding in a place where no one could find it, and continued to live with the way they were accustomed to it. It's like a bee colony, the female bee is the main force, and the man is at most a tool needed for reproduction. A woman who can inherit the art of nightmares is allowed to go out to experience when she is an adult, because women in the village are respected, and none of the women living in it can stand the men outside at that time, so there is no need to worry that the woman who goes out will not return because of love. But men, like raised animals, are not allowed to leave there for the rest of their lives. And I was born in that place, as a male peak, born and raised in the village. ”

Sanzang and I were a little surprised in our hearts, I didn't expect that Old Man Song himself was from the nightmare village. Old Man Song stretched out his arm, and after rolling up his sleeves, he revealed a piece of snake scales on his arm.

"What is this?"

"Snakes are believed in the village, and women always have a lot of snakes, and a lot of tricks are expressed, and they have the characteristics of snakes. This is also a nightmare, everyone in the village has been hit by the body from the day they are born, which is the embodiment of bloodline and a shackle. As long as you get closer, these cold scales will heat up and tell you who the other person is. ”

When he said this, a self-deprecating chuckle appeared on Old Man Song's face, "For the men in the village, they have learned to be satisfied with the status quo and don't want to change anything. But I don't want to. Once, by accident, a lost couple broke into the village, although their fate was miserable, but I envied the way they got along, which made me yearn for the outside world. The thought was like planting a seed. It took root and sprouted in my heart, and finally one day, during the great sacrifice in the clan, I finally found an opportunity to escape from the village!

I ran as hard as I could, not daring to turn back, for fear that as soon as I turned back, I would see behind me the punishment of the pursuers who had come to capture me, the defectors. It was definitely a horrible torture worse than death! Luckily, I didn't find myself and made it down the hill and headed all the way to the city. The people at the foot of the mountain speak in a very strange tone, many times I can't understand it, and I don't have any money on me, so I inadvertently joined the army, so I can have something to eat at the same time. It can also avoid the pursuit in the village, and the strong smell of blood. It can reduce the influence of this nightmare on your body.

Then there was no war, I stopped here and met a girl, and I liked the way we got along, and it reminded me of the couple I had met. According to the customs outside, I married her. I thought I would be happy from now on, but I found that the shadow of bad luck never left me. Because of this nightmare, I can't unite with the woman from the outside world, and I killed her! I can still remember how painfully she died in my arms! ”

Uncle Song's voice was choked. The words are a little intermittent, his eyes are empty and he doesn't know where to look, perhaps, he is looking at the past!

"I have lived here and never left, accompanying her grave, and this time, so many years have passed. When I saw the snake the other day, I knew that my time of death was coming! The unique king pattern on the head of the snake is the snake in the stockade. Today's scene, I have been mentally prepared, although it seems to come abruptly. ”

He looked at me and Sanzang with apologetic and grateful eyes, "It's really embarrassing for you to force you to listen to me as an old man talk about your past, maybe it's the reason why the death date is approaching, I really want to say what I have been holding in my heart for so many years." I happened to meet you, whether you are a stranger who will not treat me as a madman, or a benefactor who saved my life! I can feel that the person is nearby, and when you save me today, she must have been looked at, if possible, you must find a chance to explain it to her, if you make them uncomfortable and be targeted by them, it will definitely be a nightmare. I just hope she's not angry! ”

"We know, thank you for your candor! The two of us already have a direction, so let's go and get in touch with each other and say goodbye first! ”

said goodbye to Uncle Song, according to Sanzang's description. Ask the villagers where the strange-behaved girl lives. I asked all the way, and finally learned that Aunt Qian's house had a tenant two days ago, and his appearance and clothes were very similar to Sanzang's description.

Following the direction of the villager's eldest brother, I walked towards Aunt Qian's house, and just saw the small courtyard from a distance, and before I could get closer, a girl had already jumped down from an ancient tree on the side of the road, and she was more neat, just blocking the way between me and Sanzang.

Sanzang tugged at my arm, and squeezed three words out of between my teeth in a low voice, "It's her!" ”

Nodding, he quickly glanced at the girl in front of him, who was dressed in the same way, except for a snake-like belt tied around his waist, and snake-shaped accessories around his neck and ears, with a strong religious color.

The girl opened her mouth in a pleasant voice, "What do you two know?" ”

"I only know that this is a private matter of your Nightmare Clan, and we will not interfere, and we don't know anything else!"

The woman seemed to laugh, "Originally, I was a little annoyed that you two were nosy, but now it seems that you are also an interesting person." It's not a big deal to be recognized, as long as you don't tell people who I am, then I don't have to worry about you. ”

"We promise!" I assured the girl with a serious face, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Sanzang is even more exaggerated, "Guarantee, guarantee, absolute guarantee!" Neither of us has a hobby of chewing tongues! ”

The girl's face in front of her finally stopped jumping, but was slightly soothed, "I'm not a person who kills indiscriminately, I just passed by here unintentionally." The old man Song is completely to blame, and everyone who defected from the village was punished as one, and killing my baby snake and cooking it into snake soup was two, which was simply an unforgivable sin! You two remember what you said today, don't interfere with what I'm going to do, don't interfere with what I'm going to do, just go your separate ways. ”

"Yes! It's an honor to be able to see the art of nightmares with our own eyes, and we're leaving! Good bye! Nodding at the girl, she pulled Sanzang and turned around and walked quickly, since everyone had already said that they wouldn't mind, if you don't leave now, when will you wait! (To be continued.) )
