Chapter 22 Stealing a life and escaping a life

At this moment, a wrinkled, withered old face suddenly appeared outside the window, staring at me with cloudy eyes.

"Tsk-cluck-"

An eerie laugh rang out, and the monster began to shout in a mocking voice again: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

Although the shouts belong to the tone of the elderly, they are sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes male and sometimes female.

It dawned on me that I finally understood where this monster came from.

The hospital in Changshou Village is full of elderly people. Most of the old people have a strong desire to survive before they die.

This desire to survive and resentment before death converged little by little, and finally formed such a monster.

Seemingly infected by the monster's emotions, Shi Jianguo also struggled and shouted: "I don't want to die!" ”

I put my palm on Shi Jianguo's eyebrows, used the Taoist innate true qi to help him resist the invasion of evil qi, and gently dissuaded: "You ran out of life a month ago, and you relied on the death of your grandson to exchange your lifespan. ”

"If you don't die, the people in the village will continue to take your granddaughter as a sacrifice and hang herself from that tree."

"I have seen the child, she has been malnourished for a long time, and she is locked in the house every day in fear, and she lives a life that is worse than death......"

"Say no more!"

Shi Jianguo shook his head painfully, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, and said tiredly: "I can't do it myself, please help me turn off the ventilator." ”

I shook my head, "Doing so is tantamount to me killing someone, so you have to do it yourself." ”

When I first came down from the mountain, my grandfather emphasized many times that he wanted me to accumulate luck so that I could avoid disasters from heaven.

Luck is a mysterious thing.

For example, when I was going to bombard the demon tree with the thunder method today, the Loess Plateau, which had not rained for decades, suddenly thundered and flashed, and this was my luck.

Qi luck, like arms and legs, is not consumed with use, but it can be damaged.

For example, doing evil and killing good people in vain will damage luck, and when it is serious, luck will disappear, and bad luck will follow.

Shi Jianguo's hands trembled, and he leaned in front of the button of the ventilator several times, but he couldn't help but put it down.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jianguo fell into a coma because of too much adrenaline injected into his body and was too excited.

This is terrible, am I trying to lose my luck and cut off his ventilator?

Just as I hesitated, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, as if an eye was staring at me!

I subconsciously looked in the direction of the window, and saw Mai Mendon's pale face, clinging to the window, I don't know how long I waited there......

How can it be! I saw her lead the villagers to the lake, and it was impossible to get here at this time!

But almost in the blink of an eye, Mai Mendong disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

A person wants to disappear without a trace from the breath to the body in an instant, even if it is a Daluo Immortal, it is difficult to move!

Am I dazzled?

No...... No way! My eyes can break through delusion, and I will never dazzle!

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang, and the village chief Shi Chengxian stood at the door with a gloomy expression, "What are you doing!?" ”

Mai Mendong's face suddenly appeared and disappeared just now, which disrupted my thinking, so that I didn't find Shi Chengxian who went upstairs.

The old man in front of him who is about to do anything is also the one who knows all the secrets in Shi Jianguo's mouth!

I replied calmly: "Shi Jianguo is already a dying man, and I am preparing to spend time for him." ”

"You dare!"

Shi Chengxian stood in front of the window tremblingly with a crutch, guarding the ventilator, "If you dare to move Shi Jianguo, I will give up this old life to accompany you!" ”

"If you have the ability, you will kill me and Shi Jianguo together! When the time comes, the people in the village will definitely not let you go! ”

I can't figure out why I want to surpass Shi Jianguo, which would make Shi Chengxian have such a big reaction.

That's a good thing for me, though.

I was not in a hurry, sat on the hospital bed next to me, and said calmly: "If I really want to kill someone, you can't stop it, and hundreds of villagers can't stop it." ”

"You dare!?"

Shi Chengxian's forehead was bruised, and his eyes were round, but his drooping old body couldn't stop me at all.

I said calmly, "You shouldn't stop me, and you can't stop me." But I have no grievances with you, and I don't necessarily have to be against you. ”

Shi Chengxian asked nervously, "What do you want?" ”

I said, "Answer me two questions." ”

"First, the relationship between you and Mai Mendon."

"Second, what are you doing with that locust tree demon, why do you want to create centenarians by borrowing longevity from juniors?"

Shi Chengxian was shocked and asked, "You are the person brought by Mr. Mai, and you don't know this!?" ”

"I have a cooperative relationship with her, and there are some things that are inconvenient to ask. If you are willing to tell me something, I will never tell anyone a word. ”

After hesitating for a long time, Shi Chengxian still shook his head in horror, "No! I told you about it, and I'm going to die! ”

"If you don't say it, you're also dead."

I said awe-inspiringly, "If I'm not mistaken, you raise centenarians for sacrifice. ”

"There are no hundred-year-old people in the entire village except for you and Shi Jianguo, otherwise you wouldn't be so nervous when I wanted to surpass Shi Jianguo."

"Therefore, if Shi Jianguo is dead, you must also die."

Shi Chengxian glared at me angrily for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, "That's it, it's a death horizontally and vertically, and it doesn't hurt for me to tell you in the afterlife." ”

"I don't know very well, though, because I didn't speak out when Mai Mendong started to take control of the village."

I said calmly, "It's okay, pick up what you know." Don't lie, or I'll kill immediately. ”

In fact, even if Shi Chengxian doesn't want to reveal a word, I can't help him.

After all, killing people affects my luck too much, and I won't do it.

But in the instinct of survival, Shi Chengxian still explained everything to me......

"Since my grandfather's generation, our Longevity Village has been completely controlled by Mr. Mai. The only impression I have of her is that the money never seems to be spent. ”

"In such a poor and remote place, we have no other way to survive than to dig in the soil and eat."

"It was Mr. Mai who appeared and changed everything. She paid to build the dilapidated village like a palace, and gave us supplies and money. ”

"Even for those unmarried bachelors, each with several wives. The only job is to give birth to a child in bed, a million for a child! ”

"But she also set a strange rule for us, but all centenarians must be buried on the day of their 100th birthday, and the coffin will be buried while they are alive!"

"I am the village head, and I have always been responsible for helping Mr. Mai deal with these chores, so I was saved from death."

"In Changshou Village, a centenarian must be buried alive every three years! If someone doesn't live a hundred and then he gets seriously ill, he has to kill his offspring! ”

"It's strange to say. No matter what serious illness that person has, as long as a child dies, he will be able to live for a while longer. ”

"I know...... That's all. ”

Judging from his expression and breath, Shi Chengxian did not lie.

However, the information he provided only confirmed my suspicions, and did not have any substantive effect.

Mai Mendong invited me to come in order to choose an auspicious burial hole for the centenarian.

And killing children and grandchildren to continue their lives is also something I already know.

But...... Cultivating centenarians to be buried alive, what does this Mai Mendong want to do?

Just when I was puzzled, Shi Chengxian asked worriedly: "You said that if you don't kill Shi Jianguo, you can talk about it?" ”

"Of course. But...... He's dead. ”

Shi Chengxian was shocked, and when he looked at Shi Jianguo on the bed, his face was already pale, and he had long been out of breath.

"How so!"

I pointed to Shi Chengxian's feet, "You stepped on his oxygen pipe." ”

"What!?"

Shi Chengxian hurriedly moved his feet, the oxygen hose had been flattened, and Shi Jianguo, who had been out of breath for a long time, was also unable to recover.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if there was no Shi Chengxian's help tonight, I really wouldn't be able to deal with the unconscious Shi Jianguo.

After staring at Shi Jianguo's corpse for a long time, Shi Chengxian suddenly cried out in a loud voice, "I don't want to die!" ”

I said, "Your yang shou was originally only eighty years old. There are three sons, two grandsons, and two granddaughters who have used their deaths to borrow your life for you, so that you can survive to this day. ”

"Thirty and forty are not confused, the Mandate of Heaven of fifty knows the truth of life and death, and reincarnation is also a part of the nature of the Heavenly Dao."

"What are you trying your best to live in fear for?"
