Chapter 426: The Purpose of the Sacrifice
Seeing that Wang Song was so nervous, I had no choice but to say: "This place is so close to Miao Village, and it is also the business of Miao Village, so it is not strange that there is such a thing." ”
But unexpectedly, he still said with some unease: "Otherwise, let's live in another place, right?" ”
It's just a village, it's just an ordinary village, and it's impossible to find a better place to live.
"Haven't you already paid the money? And this is an ordinary woman, I have just seen the face, no problem. ”
Hearing me say this, Wang Song was finally a little relieved.
At noon, we had a casual bite to eat at the farmhouse, and then Wang Song rested in his room, while I went outside for a walk.
Xu Wenqiang's wake-up call has always made me uncomfortable, and if something really happens at night, I should have planned for it now.
So I went around a lot of homes from the outside, and I first took a look at the situation in the neighborhood.
In addition to this farmhouse, there is another one, not far from us, but the gate is closed, and I don't know if there are people inside, the only thing that can be known is that there are not many people staying here because the outside is not like where we live, and some clothes are dried.
I was about to go back when I suddenly saw Xu Wenqiang's figure, he was looking at me not far away, some distance, but I still recognized his iconic clothes at a glance.
Just as I was about to walk over, Xu Wenqiang suddenly turned around, walked in another direction, and quickly disappeared from my sight.
I just thought it was a little strange, but considering that our cooperation was over, there was no need to have any intersection with us at this time.
The afternoon passed quickly, and I was basically familiar with the terrain, and even went to the place where we got off the bus earlier.
There was no strange situation, and I don't know what Xu Wenqiang said about it, only at night can I know.
When I got back to the property, I wanted to check with the hostess, but she wasn't there, just my four-year-old son sitting in the yard playing with the dirt.
I walked over and asked boredly, "What about your guests?" ”
He pointed in the direction of Miao Village and said: "I have all gone to Miao Village to play, there is nothing fun on our side, and the tourists who generally come are here to go to Miao Village." ”
I didn't notice how many outsiders there were when I left Miao Village, but I knew that it must not be too many.
After all, most people don't want to travel to this kind of place.
I thought I was bored, so I squatted down and casually asked, "What does your dad do?" ”
"Bricklayer."
He seemed to have fun playing with dirt, and casually perfunctory.
As soon as I thought that I could not know anything from him, I was about to get up and go back to the house, when he suddenly asked again, "Did you also come out of the Miao Village?" ”
The immature voice was full of curiosity, and I stopped and replied, "Yes, but we are just tourists, not people from Miao Village." ”
The little boy nodded, and said indifferently: "I know, my mother said that you are guests, but there is nothing interesting in Miao Village, I have seen their performances before." ”
Performance?
I suddenly became interested, crouched down in front of him again, and asked, "What type of performance?" ”
The little boy thought about it very seriously for a while, and then said, "It's that kind of large-scale sacrificial event, that's what my mother told me, and there are many tourists who also participate, and they seem to come here for this sacrifice." ......"
He pointed upstairs: "There are three tourists living on it, and they went to Miao Village early this morning, saying that there are still sacrificial activities tonight." ”
I immediately sensed that something was not right, Old Man Lu was already dead, if no one died, how could there be a sacrifice?
Moreover, Miao Zhai is now busy changing feng shui, and it is impossible to use sacrifices to absorb yang energy.
Seeing that I was puzzled, the little boy asked innocently, "Didn't you go to Miao Village for this?" ”
I shook my head, and he suddenly asked a little strangely, "But you obviously also participated in the sacrifice!" ”
When I heard this, I was shocked, how could a four-year-old child know that I had participated in the sacrifice?
And it's a little far from Miao Village, even if I participated in the sacrifice and I was the only one who participated in it, they couldn't have known.
Unexpectedly, after the little boy saw my expression, he said, "My mother told me, and she said that you are all people who have participated in the sacrifice. ”
Now I was even more curious about the woman, those things in the bathroom couldn't just be sold to tourists, they must be more or less related to Miao Village.
I was about to ask more when there was a squeak, and the door suddenly opened from outside, and the proprietress came back with a basket of vegetables.
"Xiao Yi, why are you playing with mud again, wash your hands and go back to the house!"
The little boy named Xiao Yi grimaced at me and quickly ran into the house.
I looked at the proprietress and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you tell that I participated in the sacrifice?" ”
The proprietress sat outside washing vegetables and said casually: "Everyone who has participated in the sacrifice will have a lighter yang energy on their bodies than ordinary people, and you are naturally no exception, so I can see it at a glance." ”
I continued to ask, "Could it be that many tourists go to Miao Village for sacrifices?" ”
The proprietress raised her head and asked, "Aren't you?" ”
I immediately shook my head.
"If you are not, there must be other purposes, but most of the people who come to Miao Village are for the sake of sacrifice, and this kind of sacrifice activity, although anyone can participate, but the owner of the sacrifice can only have one person every time."
I became more and more incomprehensible, and subconsciously asked, "Why is this?" ”
She shook her head: "I have to ask the villagers of Miao Village about this, and I don't know." ”
After saying that, her dishes were just finished washing, and she walked in with the dishes.
I looked at her back a little helplessly, because I still wanted to ask her how she could see that I had less yang energy than ordinary people, but when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know how to organize the exit.
After returning to the room, Wang Song had already woken up and was sorting out his backpack, and the box containing the lake fairy grass was placed on the table.
I opened it and looked at it, then put it back in my backpack.
"Do you see any doorways?"
I always thought he was sleeping, but I didn't expect him to know about my outing.
"No, everything is normal in this village, but the sacrificial activities in Miao Village are a little weird, and many people go to Miao Village for the sacrifice."
After I finished speaking, Wang Song picked up his mobile phone and wanted to search for it, but the signal here was too poor and the webpage could not be opened for half a day, so he had to give up.
"Maybe the sacrificial activities can bring them some benefits, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people rushing to come to this kind of ghost place."
This is true, although losing too much yang energy can make people languish and even unlucky, but if they can get what they want, the effort seems to be worth it.
For example, as long as I can get the lake fairy grass, these problems are not big.
Before you know it, the sun is setting and night is falling.
The hostess cooked the meal and specially told us to go down to eat.
I looked at the table, which was slightly more hearty than the noon one, with fish and some meat.
"Is there a river around here?"
After sitting down, I asked casually.
The proprietress nodded: "It's a little far." ”
Wang Song quickly picked up a piece of fish, and after taking a bite, he was full of praise.
"Yes, yes, this fish doesn't smell fishy at all, it's delicious!"
Hearing Wang Song's words, I also took a bite and found that it was indeed as he said, not only did it not smell fishy, but the meat was also very delicious.
Xiao Yi was still a child after all, and said with an innocent face: "That's not it, this fish can't be fed anywhere else except in our village, and it's ......"
Before he could finish his words, the proprietress knocked on his bowl and signaled him not to talk too much when eating fish, as it was easy to get stuck by fish bones.
