Chapter 104: The Past
The sacrificial ceremony also requires a certain amount of preparation time.
The people outside were all in full swing about the ceremony, as everyone felt that it was impossible for me to get up again.
I really left Dr. Cai to guard me.
Idleness is also idleness, and I took this opportunity to ask Dr. Cai to tell me the history of Caomiao Village.
100,000 barren mountains, located in the middle of nowhere, inaccessible.
Because of this, this place produces extremely valuable Chinese herbs, as well as a variety of mountain delicacies.
Therefore, a long time ago, there were still some people who would risk their lives in the mountains in order to support their families.
Over time, a variety of small villages have been formed, which have continued.
Caomiao Village is also one of them.
It is named after an ancient grass temple dedicated to the gods in the village.
But with the development of the times, more and more people choose to leave here.
Only the elderly with limited mobility and some young children were left behind.
Dr. Cai and his grandson are among them.
Although the days are poor, with the development of 100,000 barren mountains by the 'Climb the Mountain When You Are Full' Donkey Friends Group, the economy is also rising steadily.
Until the coming of the last days.
The miasma that was originally permeating the mountain began to be mixed with the spores of zombie fungi.
This caused the population of Caomiao Village to plummet, and even the original village chief died in the mouth of the zombies.
When it was a mess in the village.
A bus carrying a group of travelers drove into the village.
The car was carrying more than ten people like Wang Fugui and Song Bingxiang.
They are strong and strong, and they also carry all kinds of cold weapons that normal travelers don't carry.
Apparently he took refuge in the mountains.
Soon, he helped the village to calm down the chaos.
And Wang Fugui gradually became the core figure in the village and became the village head.
But four years later, things started to take a strange turn.
I don't know when the zombies in the nearby cities began to gather in the mountains, and there were more and more of them.
(As a zombie, I seriously suspect that there is no food in the city.) )
Desperate, people began to build villages on trees.
But if you hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime.
Even if you don't get bitten to death by zombies, you will be trapped in a tree and starve to death.
Fear surrounds the entire Caomiao Village.
Until Wang Fugui decided to use living people to sacrifice to the ghost god in the grass temple!
Strange to say, after the first sacrifice, the corpses really retreated.
It seems that there is really an invisible force that has begun to protect this land.
With the first, there will be a second.
The hope in despair made everyone start to drink to quench their thirst.
Useless old people, young people who make mistakes, people who fail to meet labor targets.
They have become a shortlist for sacrifices.
Dr. Cai was the only barefoot doctor in the village, so he was able to survive.
But the whole village, there are so many people, once a month, each time the sacrifice of two people, is not something that Caomiao Village can bear.
After that, Wang Fugui used facts to persuade the village chiefs of more than ten nearby villages, large and small.
Each village began to take turns offering offerings.
That's where we are now.
"This month, it was supposed to be offered by Caomiao Village.
But Song Bingxiang observed a boat passing by in the Green River.
As soon as everyone put it together, they planned to use you strangers to carry out sacrifices. ”
Dr. Cai shook his head and said everything he knew.
"Oh, I see."
I listened to his story and was thoughtful.
Here, it seems that it is indeed Zhuo Yinhua's ranch.
A ranch that raises humans and supplies her with food on a regular basis.
"Doctor Cai, do you know why the miasma in the mountains at that time was filled with zombie fungal spores?"
I was curious about the birth of my own race.
The guys I met before, whether it was Winston or the old wine bug, couldn't give a detailed explanation.
"It's like, it's like the mountain god is angry, and suddenly one day, the miasma that we take for granted turns green."
It seems that Dr. Cai can't say clearly.
But there's one thing that everyone tells me the same.
Zombie fungal spores come from underground.
And it's not just Sangkook.
The old wine worm and I were chatting and told me that the whole Green Star, seemingly on the same day, had an outbreak of zombie fungal spores.
"Mr. Bu, do you really want to stay?"
Dr. Cai's wrinkled face slowly lowered at this time.
He's seen too much life and death.
"Don't run." I lay back on the bed again, the 'person' who was going to die should look like he was going to die, "I know the ghost, and I still have a clear account with her." ”
"However, if the ghost god discovers that the sacrifice is not human, what will happen to Caomiao Village?"
Dr. Cai's deep-set eye sockets were filled with the quiet sadness peculiar to old people.
He had already seen that I was a zombie.
But in his eagerness to break the status quo, he chose to hide it.
I even saw a hint of excitement in his calm eyes.
"It's okay, as long as I kill her at that time, I will also have a way to disperse the ordinary zombies around."
I said lightly, "But I won't stay long, so what happens after that depends on the will of God." ”
"It's fine. I don't want to live this kind of life. ”
Dr. Cai stopped talking.
He doesn't need to know what I'm going to do.
It has been made here for so many years, so it is not difficult to collect the things to be prepared for the sacrifice.
Soon, Song Bingxiang came back with someone again.
I heard that there was still the sound of water, and it seemed that I had brought a bucket back.
"Wipe him, you two, and the sacrifice will have the appearance of a sacrifice. Otherwise, the ghost gods will blame it, and it will be everyone who suffers. ”
As he gave orders, he walked over to the bed and probed my snort.
Naturally, I responded to him with a faint breath.
"Alright, Dr. Cai, there's nothing to do with you here, go back."
After Song Bingxiang confirmed that I was not dead, he sent Dr. Cai away.
How long has it been since I've taken a shower?
If you don't count the few times you swim in the water, why is it half a year?
This is the first time that people have been waiting to wipe their bodies.
"Hey, why are you so pale, you look like a zombie."
"You shed so much blood to try, maybe whiter than him."
"It's also oh, brother, you read a lot and know more."
"No, I also had a bachelor's degree."
In the process of two young men, you are talking to me.
I was covered in blood, wiped clean.
"Mr. Song, wipe it clean. We're going to put him on a stretcher. ”
"Wait, go and get two more men and put him on a stretcher.
Pay attention when carrying the stretcher, four people carry it.
Listen to me, not two.
We immediately went to the grass temple to prepare for the sacrifice. ”
Song Bingxiang's status is obviously very high.
He has always commanded others, and he has never done it himself.
"Mr. Song, I think we have enough brothers. Look at our body, it's absolutely fine. ”
"I don't want you to think, I want me to feel.
When the time comes, and the sacrifice is not fresh, I will use you to make up the number.
Listen to me, call two more. ”
Song Bingxiang's order was obviously not something that the two young men who wiped my body could disobey.
Soon, I enjoyed a four-person sedan chair.
