Chapter 41: Hometown (4)
"Oink?"
"Hmm...... Oink. ”
When Old Joy heard this name, he didn't know what to do, so he subconsciously read it in his throat several times, as if he had heard this name somewhere.
But it doesn't matter, Old Joy doesn't want to recall anything now, he never recalls, Ziliang told him that recalling is the most stupid behavior, and those messy things have finally been forgotten, why do you have to recall.
In old Joey's mind, this idea is probably equivalent to, 'The shit that you pull out with all your strength can't be stuffed back into your ass.'" ’
Therefore, Old Joy simply ignored this portrait.
Mia was still smiling and said to old Joey, "This is the greatest pig-headed man in this world, he once killed angels, once slaughtered the Forsaken to a clean one. ”
"Oh."
"Unfortunately, after that, Oinker disappeared, and no one knows where he went." Mia said, and then suddenly whispered to Old Joey: "Actually, I doubt that there is such a person as Oink, maybe it is a virtual character that adults came up with in order to make themselves less afraid of angels." ”
"Oh." Old Joey responded like this, in fact, he really didn't care if there was really Oink, so he chirped: "That...... Do you have anything to eat? ”
Mia was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this man was a poor fellow who had been hungry for many days.
"Ahh Mia said embarrassedly.
Soon, she prepared some food for old Joey, and of course, Pego, although it was not very appetizing, but after all, she had been hungry for so many days, and everything she ate was fragrant.
After that, Old Joy asked another question that he was more concerned about, and that was how to get out of here.
"Hongqiao ......" This is the answer given by Mia.
"Huh? What kind of place is that. ”
"Legend has it that if you want to get out of heaven and see the outside world, you have to walk across the Rainbow Bridge, but only the most devout people have the opportunity to see it." Mia explained: "Those who walk across the Hongqiao will get the ultimate happiness, so all the people of Heaven are working towards this goal. ”
"What does that mean piety?"
"Work hard, farm hard, pay the tribute on time." Mia said, "Of course, this is what we should do, but this harvest is really bad, and there is no way for the village to pay enough tribute, so we have to hide, because those angels are only friendly to the pious people, and if he sees us lazy people, they will definitely purify us." ”
"Oh." Old Joey nodded, he knew that 'purification' meant killing.
It seems that it is a bit difficult to get out of here.
Old Joey was very depressed and wondered, he wondered if there was a way to get out of here quickly, but old Joey was not good at finding a way.
......
After a few days, the villagers finally determined that the angry angels would not return, so one after another, everyone moved out of the bottom and returned to the village on the ground.
They continued to plough and live, and prayed that they would be able to give a satisfactory answer when they were to receive the next offering, so that they would be one step closer to their ultimate happiness.
It seems that in the whole heaven, all the people live like this, although old Joey feels a little awkward, but ...... There was nothing he could do about it. I can only go on like this.
The sun overhead was so dazzling, I don't know how long later, old Joey heard that there were thousands of 'suns' in this world, they were lying on the dome, and their tails had light-emitting organs like fireflies, and once, a 'sun' fell, the size of a windmill.
In this paradise where there is no day or night, old Joey completely lost control of time, he ate when he was hungry, slept when he was sleepy, he had a lot of strength, so the villagers liked him very much, because he could do the work of 5 people, and everyone else said that he would soon be selected as the most pious person, and old Joey seemed very happy when he heard it.
That's it, living, living for a year is no different from living a day.
Finally, one day, two 'angels' came to the village.
Indeed, as I said before, the faces of the angels were 'human', and they were dressed in very clean clothes, and they sat in a carriage drawn by pig-headed men, and they went into the village, and the villagers, took out almost all the grain they had accumulated for so long.
"Is that all the tribute?" The angel asked with a smile.
"Yes, the village chief responded respectfully."
The angel nodded, and ordered a few pig-headed men to carry all the tributes, presumably ready to be transported away.
Old Joey thought he would let the pig-headed men put their things in the car, but the angels didn't, so they let the pig-headed men stand motionless in the back of the car on their backs.
Finally, when the tribute was taken, the angel smiled politely and said, "But it's not enough." ”
At this moment, the whole village let out a sigh, as if they had been studying hard for a long time, but the exam results were still not satisfactory.
This loss and self-blame even infected old Joey a little, and he felt that if he ate less, he would be able to hand over a satisfactory tribute.
However, at this moment......
"Poof......
With a soft sound, old Joey frowned, he was all too familiar with the sound, it was made when a sharp weapon pierced the flesh.
Then, to his astonishment, the village chief swayed a few times and fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood began to ooze from the center of his stomach, while the angel wiped the knife in his hand with a white handkerchief.
Oh, old Joey wasn't surprised that the angel had killed a pig-headed man so easily.
He was amazed...... The village chief, who got along with him day and night, died in front of everyone like this, but the pig-headed people around him did not have the slightest shock, fear, and anger, they seemed to be still annoyed, why the tribute was not paid this time, why they were so useless.
"Well, people of heaven, you need not be upset, it is a sin that the inadequacy of the offering has dusted your pious hearts! But...... Heaven is the land of mercy, you can escape, you can use self-reproach and repentance as the energy to escape, and your lives are in your own hands. ”
"Those who remain will be punished in your place, and those who flee will be burdened with repentance and work harder."
"Then the merciful Lord has said, 'Flee from you!'
Old Joey listened to the angel's words with a bewildered expression.
"What are you talking about?"
However, the people around him seemed to understand, so soon, these people began to run in the same direction in an orderly manner, and old Joey knew that that place was the so-called 'Hope Village'.
"They...... Every once in a while, do you have to repeat this ridiculous tribute? ”
Old Joey scratched his head and thought.
Suddenly, I noticed that the whole village seemed to be the only one left.
