Chapter 44: Almost Exposed

After listening to my words, Uncle Liu sat on the ground with his back to me, and then knitted his bamboo basket, "I'm used to living alone, and I feel clean." Besides, I'm a lot older, I don't have any relatives, and I don't have too many worries in this world, and I live one day at a time. If I die one day, it's actually a relief for me. Just in time, I can go to see my wife and son."

"Son, I haven't heard that you have a son, where is he", I was completely absent-minded and talking to Uncle Liu, but my eyes were staring straight at his neck, and I really wanted to bite down.

"Alas, it's long gone. When he was very young, he had a serious illness, did not survive, and died". Uncle Liu didn't notice any changes in me because he was sitting with his back to me, and he kept talking about the past.

And I quietly leaned towards Uncle Liu. "Recently, there have been monsters in the village, and they have killed Brother Tiezhu, it is not safe for you to live here alone, or you should go to my house to live", I kept talking to him in order not to let Uncle Liu notice the abnormality.

"There's nothing safe and insecure, I've lived this long enough to be so old. If there's any monster that wants to eat people, just eat me. I'm old, and I don't have much to be nostalgic about. If someone has to die, then let me, an old man, die," Uncle Liu said indifferently.

After listening to Uncle Liu's words, I was a little happy, because he said that death was a relief for him. "In that case, Uncle Liu, let me help you get free", I said and bit Uncle Liu's neck from behind.

Uncle Liu didn't struggle too much, but when I pounced on him, I accidentally touched the oil lamp, which fell from the chair and went out. The room suddenly became dark, and this environment was exactly what I wanted. Now I like Dark more and more because I don't want anyone to see me.

Just as I was sucking Uncle Liu's blood freely, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps at the outer door. Then I heard a knock on the door, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, are you there?" I'm the third baby, are you okay, Uncle Liu."

I froze when I heard someone knocking on the door outside the house. At that moment, I felt like I was going to be caught. At the same time, my mind was racing to think about whether to escape through the window, or where to hide in Uncle Liu's house.

Just when I was panicked and at a loss, Uncle Liu, who was dying, said weakly: "What's the matter, Sanwazi, I'm fine, I'm a little uncomfortable, I've fallen asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Hearing Uncle Liu's reply in the house, Sanwazi relieved his heart and said, "I passed by outside your house just now and saw that the lights in your house were out. I heard as if something had fallen, and I was worried about what was wrong with you, so I came over to see you. Since you are not feeling well, then I will not go in, you have a good rest, Uncle Liu, I am leaving, I will come to see you tomorrow."

"Thank you Sanwazi, I'm fine, you hurry up and get busy, pay attention to safety." Hearing Uncle Liu's words, the third baby simply said a few words and turned around and left. It was a short moment that seemed like hundreds of years had passed for me.

In addition, I was also very surprised why Uncle Liu helped me hide that I was going to kill him, just because he was afraid of me, but he didn't look like him.

"Why don't you give me out, so that maybe you will be saved". Listening to my words, Uncle Liu shook his head sluggishly, "I once had a son who unfortunately died when he was thirteen years old, and he looked very similar to you."

After listening to Uncle Liu's words, I understood why he talked to me the most on weekdays. The reason why he didn't confess me just now was because I looked like his dead child.

"Actually, there have been so many things going on in the village lately, and I know that if anyone else is killed, mine may be the greatest. That's why I told the Great Elder two days ago to tell him to talk to the patrol so that they can pay more attention to my movements. Originally, the Great Elder wanted me to move out and live with others, after all, I was too far away here. If something unexpected happens, it's hard for everyone to get here in time. However, I have long had no hope for life, and if my death can contribute to the village, then I will die a well-deserved death."

"I just didn't expect it to be you. Originally, I would never have thought that it was you, but the Great Elder found a piece of coarse cloth in the hand of the iron pillar, and the texture of that piece of cloth looked like it was produced by our village itself.

It's just that everyone's clothes are made of the same material, and I can't tell which family they belong to for a while. And this situation should not be openly told to the people in the village, so as not to panic too much, or even suspect each other, so that it is possible to startle the snake.

Therefore, the Great Elder privately made a unique armband for everyone who watched the night. And this armband can only be worn by those who are on patrol. The Great Elder used this in the hope of narrowing the scope of the murderer.

And when you first came to my room, you said that you were passing by me on a night patrol. However, I didn't see your armband, so I guessed you might be the murderer. The armband was a decision made by the Great Elder yesterday, and you don't know about it yet."

I really didn't expect these things to be said by Uncle Liu. However, he knew that I might be the murderer, but he didn't even watch out for me. And he worked with his back to me, leaving me with the opportunity to sin, and he didn't blame me at all.

Uncle Liu's breath is getting weaker and weaker, and I know that he won't live long. Because at least half of Uncle Liu's blood has been sucked away by me. After listening to Uncle Liu's words, a deep sense of guilt came to my heart. I knelt down in front of Uncle Liu with a thud, and at that moment, I wanted to apologize with death.

As time passed, Uncle Liu's body quickly cooled, and eventually he died.

I don't know how long I knelt there, because I hated myself more and more. Under the desire to eat blood is a mad sin, and after the desire is satisfied, there is endless repentance.

In the end, I still didn't have the courage to turn myself in. I returned to my house full of fear, hinting to myself over and over again, telling myself that it was just a dream.

At noon the next day, the news of Uncle Liu's death came from the village.

Since I didn't suck all of Uncle Liu's blood last night, he looked like he had died peacefully. At the same time, there was a hint of serenity on his face, and his state was not as terrifying as Brother Tiezhu's death. In the end, everyone didn't think that Uncle Liu's death was problematic.
