Chapter 325: People's hearts are not ancient...
The fat aunt in the village was furious, she used to quarrel in the village was a shrew scolding the street, and if there was a single radish missing in the field, she could scold from the east of the village to the west of the village.
Now the full responsibility is put on my head.
I was just about to refute, but a few elders pointed at me and scolded: "That's right! It's their Chen family! It was their sins that caused our ancestors and affected our entire village! ”
I'm so angry, I don't usually see any family that believes in the ancestors, otherwise why don't I see how many people go to the old ancestral hall to worship their ancestors during the New Year's holidays, otherwise the ancestral hall will be so dilapidated?
Now when something happens, everyone looks like something.
I pleaded out loud that it was none of my business, but no one listened, but because of my shouting, more people stood against me.
People are like this, under pressure and panic, once there is a breakthrough point, they often do unexpected things.
The situation is like this, they see me as a breakthrough point, they see me as an object to vent their anger and resentment. The fear and anxiety that have accumulated in the past few days have been vented on me.
Those familiar faces in the past have also become very unfamiliar at this moment, so strange that I don't recognize them at all.
Even, those whom I often call uncles and aunts.
In this case, they shouted at me even more.
In the past, those kind faces have become so hideous and terrifying at this time.
In order to dissociate themselves from me and protect themselves, they stepped on me harder at this moment.
I looked at the group of people in front of me in disbelief, and subconsciously stepped back.
"Catch him for me!"
Seeing this, the village party secretary waved his hand, and immediately several men rushed up, ignoring our family, and pushed me to the ground.
At this time, the village party secretary turned his head and asked a respected old man on crutches in the village, "Fifth uncle, what should I do now?" How can I ask for forgiveness from my ancestors? ”
Every village has some veterans who live old and have prestige in the village.
The old man was on crutches, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "If you want to ask the ancestors for forgiveness, you must worship." He offended the old ancestor, so let him be this sacrifice, only by worshipping the old ancestor, the village can survive. ”
When I heard this, I was stupid.
What is the offering? The sacrifices were all domestic animals such as pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep.
If you use me as a sacrifice, doesn't that mean that you will slaughter me as a domestic animal and use it to worship your ancestors? And what age is this?
What a joke, I'm a real person!
After the old man finished speaking, the shouts of the villagers suddenly quieted down, and they seemed to hesitate a little. Obviously, everyone knew what the sacrifice would do.
This is illegal, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, but this poor and remote mountain village is backward in thought.
After a short hesitation, the fat aunt began to take the lead in shouting again, wanting to worship my ancestors. She shouted and encouraged everyone, saying that if I don't die, the ancestor will blame it, and the whole village will be finished.
Because there were people dead in the village two days ago, and the horrific things that happened one after another in the past two days have made the villagers a little irrational.
When I met some people who fanned the flames, the village's eyes turned red at once.
Gradually, some villagers shouted the trumpet to worship their ancestors, at first the sound was very small, only a few sounds, but after a few minutes, the cries became more and more, louder and louder, and more and more reasonable.
So much so that in the end, a group of people completely regarded me as an enemy, an enemy who harmed the village and deserved to die.
Their faces were also a little distorted by the roar.
