Chapter 638: The Unknown Sacrifice
He admits that the child's behavior during the day was excessive, unreasonable, and even disgusted him, but all this was forgotten by him after the previous experience.
The wind outside seemed to have blown into the village from the top of the mountain, and the sound of the wind was like countless babies crying, and people's scalps tingled when they heard it.
When the wind hits the roof, facades and windows, it is like tens of thousands of palms slapping hard around the house, "Bang! The sound was particularly violent.
At this moment, almost no one could sleep anymore, and everyone in the village woke up in the familiar and violent movements, but no one dared to turn on the lights, so they could only cover themselves in the quilt and shiver.
The sound of ping-pong outside and the movement of smashing things are mixed together, which has a bit of a taste of gongs and drums.
It's as if you're going to have a thrilling feast in this silent night.
The original dark night was instantly stirred up and became noisy, but the noise was not lively, the more noisy it was, the more chills it made people's hearts chill.
Jiang Futing originally thought that this kid would be depressed for at least a while, after all, he had just screamed so heartbreaking in the mountains and forests.
Unexpectedly, he came back to his senses quickly, and his soul was completely gone, and his face was so calm that he couldn't speak.
Jiang Futing watched his figure, watched him get out of bed, and then looked out the window.
The sight outside was so dark that he couldn't even see anything clearly, but he still looked very seriously, and his quiet appearance and his flamboyance during the day were completely two people.
The movement outside the house grew louder and louder, and the sound of lapping the house, wailing and whining the wind tossed the village into chaos.
Jiang Futing was worried about whether this fragile bungalow would collapse.
When he was thinking nonsense, Li Yu, who was standing by the window, suddenly said something he had heard not long ago, "Fifteen is coming again." ”
The childish voice sounded indifferent, as if he had long been accustomed to the terrible movement outside, and he was so frank that he had no other reaction.
This sentence made Jiang Futing hear it twice in a row in such a short period of time, and he couldn't pay attention to it if he didn't want to.
Li Yuxiang deliberately said to him, and after he finished speaking, he turned around, but there was no trace of contrivedness on his body, and he climbed back on the bed and leaned his back against the head of the bed.
Jiang Futing has been sitting at the foot of the bed looking at him, although this kind of indifference is unreasonable to appear on such a young child, it seems that there is no sense of disobedience.
The performance he shows during the day is not as simple as that of an ordinary seven or eight-year-old child, and his thinking itself is much more mature than that of his peers.
Even when he encounters painful things now, he will suppress his emotions like an adult.
Li Yu sat on the bed for a long time, and finally came back to his senses, the arrogance in his eyes returned a lot, and the first thing he cared about was Jiang Futing's feet, "Aren't you lame?" How can you run so fast, you can't be pretending, right? ”
In order to prove his innocence, Jiang Futing deliberately pulled his trouser legs to show him, and the white cloth on the wound was completely stained red with blood under the violent running just now.
Li Yu's little face was a little convinced, and his doubts were not completely dispelled, he muttered suspiciously, "The wound is quite similar to that, who knows if you pretend to be exaggerated." ”
Jiang Futing put it down
Trouser legs, sitting upright, facing him without any disgrace.
He found that in the face of outsiders, his skin was thicker than the city wall.
When Li met him, he just looked at himself with a blank look, and then remembered that this person was mute.
Just now, he was in a critical condition, and he was completely immersed in the joy of seeing his mother, and his coming and going was completely controlled by this person, and he directly forgot about this person's disability.
Li Yu didn't expect the stubble of the mobile phone, jumped off the bed again, rummaged through his cabinet, and then took out the exercise book and pen.
He slapped the table domineeringly, "Whatever you want to say, just write this!" I'm in a good mood and would like to say a few more words to you. ”
He was suspicious, but this dumb man didn't remember the events of the day, and just now this situation was willing to take him out desperately, which made him a little impressed.
I didn't expect that I would owe a favor to the dumb man.
Li Yu looked at the little face that had not yet grown, learned from the adults to carry his hands on his back, sighed sadly, and found that after sighing, half a day had passed, Jiang Futing just held a pen and looked at the blank notebook, without writing a word.
"You don't have anything to say? Aren't you terrible at arguing with my dad in the afternoon? Li Yu said as if dissatisfied.
Jiang Futing just held the pen and still didn't answer his question.
He didn't expect that this child could be literate, but looking around here, it doesn't look like there is a school, maybe it was taught by the child's mother.
Most of the women who can read and write are also abducted from the city, but they don't know what they did, and they died so miserably.
When he held the pen and thought about it, Li Yu began to urge impatiently, "You haven't thought about it yet?" Didn't think about getting back to your ......."
Li Yu was halfway through speaking, and suddenly immediately reacted to what he had missed, glared at him, and asked, "How did you get out of the firewood room?!" Didn't my dad lock him up! ”
Jiang Futing knew that he could hide from the monk, but he couldn't hide from the temple, and the problem of what should come always had to come.
He didn't make waves on his face, he didn't use the line of books he wrote every day, but he was upright with every stroke, and he still looked very beautiful, "The lock is old and loose." ”
Li Yu blinked at this answer, his brows furrowed on his little face, and he really had a bit of mature and thoughtful feeling, he thought about it and felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable.
Can the lock be opened from the inside so easily when it ages?
But after all, a child is still a child, and he is obviously suspicious, but he still has to stand in the other party's position to convince himself.
Subconscious habits will feel that what adults say is right.
In this way, in his mind, the heavens and men were fighting, and he blamed this dumb man for being tall and strong, and it was certainly much stronger than him, and it was not impossible to push the door open.
"Oh." Li Yu nodded very reluctantly, accepting his answer and turning the topic away.
The other party opened the mouth to ask questions first, and Jiang Futing did not pretend to be reserved anymore and began to write his questions.
His fingers are white and slender, his sitting posture is very square, and his back is always straight, but his writing looks quite pleasing to the eye.
Li Yu, as a child who doesn't like to study and can't stay on the stool for three seconds, feels that learning to write is so dry for the first time
Dry things can be so good-looking.
He saw that Jiang Futing lowered his head and didn't have the heart to pay attention to him, so he secretly aimed at people, and the scholar straightened his head, but he still couldn't hold on for three seconds, and immediately bent down decadently.
The worship of this mute in my heart inexplicably deepened.
How did he maintain such a boring and dull simple action, he felt a sore back just for a while.
Jiang Futing put down the pen after writing a few simple words, and he could feel the slight change in the line of sight that was stuck on his body.
Fingers pushed the notebook in front of Li Yu: "What are you talking about fifteen?" ”
Li Yu had already guessed that he would definitely ask this question, and deliberately delayed it for a while, trying to whet people's appetites.
But no matter what he did or what he said, Jiang Futing was always indifferent, the more he was like this, the more he wanted to break this peace under the encouragement of the child's heart.
It's just that he can't do it, which makes him feel even more depressed in his heart.
Li Yu deliberately found an excuse: "Well-in fact, you outsiders shouldn't know about these things, and those who know will definitely not be able to get out." ”
He said that he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Jiang Futing like a demonstration.
Jiang Futing rarely responded from his stingy expression, and kindly raised his eyebrows back.
In terms of Li Yu's IQ, it is really difficult to understand Jiang Futing's meaningful response, so he can only deceive himself into thinking that his breakthrough behavior has been successful, and he is not too entangled in this.
He looked Jiang Futing up and down, and in the face of this benefactor, he didn't want to hide it too much: "Anyway, looking at your current situation, there is still a great possibility that everyone will become members of the same village in the future, and it is not a big deal to tell you." ”
Jiang Futing heard from his words that the village chief had 100% ill intentions anyway. The other villagers are hindered by the presence of the village chief, so they can only have their own children, and whether they can get people at that time depends on their ability.
He sat quietly, and there was still no clue on his indifferent face.
Li Yu finally got to the point, he deliberately lay on the table, lowered his voice, and looked a little more mysterious:
"In our place, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar every month is a good day for ghosts. As long as that day comes, the whole mountain will be occupied by ghosts. A living person is never allowed to go out, even during the day. As long as it arrives, it will definitely rain, and it will rain for a day and a night. ”
His low voice and the howling wind outside almost blended in, and the dim chandelier shone on his swarthy little face, and his skin was dyed a little yellow.
The round black eyes were particularly brightly illuminated by the lights gathered on the table.
Jiang Futing listened attentively, and when he looked up, he saw this slightly weird face set off by the atmosphere, and he was subconsciously stunned.
Li Yu noticed his instinctive reaction, and his little face evoked a seemingly innocent and mechanical smile, looking like a lively puppet, which made people's hairs stand on end.
Jiang Futing's first reaction was to put down the pen in his hand and grab his wrist.
His skin was hot, and the pulse on his wrist was still beating strongly, and he looked serious about Li Yu's vital signs
。
It looks like the village doctor in a village, and he looks like him!
Li Yu withdrew his hand rather boredly, why didn't he use this trick well? It's strange, obviously I used to be scared of a quasi.
Jiang Futing knew that he wanted to tease himself in every possible way, and this kid started to fight this idea in the afternoon, and he didn't give up until now, so he simply cooperated with him directly.
Seeing that Li Yu was not interested, he was in a much more relaxed mood, and his eyes swept to the window behind Li Yu.
The movement outside seems to have been shocked, and there is no intention of stopping, if it is really tossed like this for a night, Jiang Futing will wonder if this mountain can be razed at dawn tomorrow morning.
He continued: "Is it like this on the fifteenth of every month? ”
Li Yu also turned his head along his gaze, looking outside, his young face was a little more age-inappropriate and sophisticated.
He nodded slowly, then shook his head in self-denial: "Not really." Only the four or five nights before the fifteenth day ago, the fifteenth sacrifice was done well, but it was the calmest in a month. Everyone is basically afraid of this day, but they are also looking forward to it the most. ”
Sacrifice?
Jiang Futing had heard this word from the old woman who had gone crazy during the day, but he didn't expect to hear it again.
He picked up the pen and continued to ask, "Why?" And what is a sacrifice? ”
"Why ······" Li Yu frowned, obviously this question was a bit out of line, and he replied perfunctorily: "Which so many why?" My dad wouldn't tell me that much, and that's how I can remember. As for the sacrifices······"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and the light flashed in his eyes: "I seem to have heard those eight women secretly mention when chatting, the people who are sacrificed are specially selected by the mountain gods, they will not die, and after the sacrifice, they will become the people around the mountain gods and protect this village together." Eh, dumb! ”
Li Yu suddenly shouted.
Jiang Futing lifted his long eyelashes to look at him.
"There are ghosts in this world, so is there really a god?" His dim eyes were full of sparkle and curiosity.
It is the starlight that every child has when looking forward to the unattainable future.
