Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Long Night

The villagers obviously also saw Liu Er and the others, and when Liu Er and the others came ashore, they all gathered around and asked Liu Er why he came back again.

"I can't get out." Liu Er had a white face. "The fog outside is very strong, we went out to row a circle, and came back, and the Shuangsheng didn't want us to go out." ”

"He's trying to kill us!" Someone spoke.

The man's voice just fell. All the women and children present wept, and the fear of death completely broke their spirits.

"What did we do wrong, why did this to us!" The village chief knelt on the ground. Crying out loud.

Since they couldn't get out, everyone went back again with the anger in their hearts, and this time, there was no luck in everyone's hearts, because they knew that the Shuangsheng was going to trap everyone here.

He's trying to make everyone die!

On this day, everyone's mood is no longer irritable, there is only endless despair and dead silence, and everyone's eyes are no longer lifeless, and they look extremely numb.

When they went back, they found that all the people who had been raised at home were dead, and the death was very strange, as if they had been sucked dry of blood, and none of the dogs survived.

After discovering this scene, no one expressed surprise. The fear of these two days has numbed them to fear.

It's just a few dead dogs, and nothing.

Only Liu Er felt very scared in his heart, because every time the Double Saint came before, there would be a dog barking, but now, the dog barking has disappeared. Does that mean anything?

"Alas!" Liu Er sighed and returned home with mixed feelings.

That night, though there were no dogs barking. But Liu Er still hasn't slept in the past, he has become accustomed to sleeping during the day and not sleeping at night in the past two days.

The next day, he was just about to get up and go to the ancestral hall for a meeting, when someone knocked on his door.

The face of the person who knocked on the door was particularly frightened, and Liu Er was about to say something, but the man spoke, "The village chief is dead!" ”

"Ahh Liu Er's face turned a little pale with fright, he thought that everyone was dead, but he didn't expect that the village chief, who seemed to him to be almost omnipotent, would die!

Liu Er followed the man to the village chief's house, and as soon as he arrived, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

A lot of people gathered at the village chief's house, but Liu Er still saw the village chief.

Because the village chief hanged himself in front of his house, his body was cut by a knife, black blood was scattered all over the ground, and the whole courtyard was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

None of the people present spoke, and everyone stared at the village chief hanging in front of his house, and the dead silence in his eyes began to be dominated by a hysterical fear.

Finally someone couldn't help it, "The village chief is also dead, I don't think we can bear it anymore, for so many years, we have to worship the double saints every year and festivals, why does it say to us like this, and say that it is grateful, is it so grateful?" ”

"That's right, they're repaying virtue with grudges, it's not like we're not going to let them go on like this, tonight, we're all spending the night in the ancestral hall to see what he can do!" Someone spoke.

This person's mention also made the hearts of everyone present, yes, there are only a few of them and their families, and there is nothing they can do about the double saints, but what if a bunch of people gather together?

The thought of this made everyone start to refresh.

In the end, everyone decided to be together, let Liu Er, the only one who was awake at night, watch, and if everyone had an abnormality, they had to hurry up and remind them.

Liu Er naturally couldn't wait to agree, after all, if the whole village died, it would be his turn.

He doesn't want to die yet, although this life is very hard, he still wants to live!

Liu Er went home to make up for sleep, and waited until four or five o'clock before taking his mother-in-law to the ancestral hall.

As night fell, someone lit an oil lamp, and the dim light illuminated everyone present with a little horror and uneasiness.

It was almost seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and some people couldn't help but yawn, and they were immediately stopped by the people around them.

And Liu Er has been watching the scene in front of him with trepidation, and the fear in his heart has begun to grow like a towering tree, and a love called despair spreads in his heart.

He always felt that things would not be so simple, and the Twin Saints were not such an easy target to deal with.

As time went by, more and more people began to be unable to bear the sleepiness, but the fear in their hearts made them afraid to close their eyes and go to sleep, so they could only cheer up.

Later, when they couldn't bear it anymore, some people took out the bitter gall that had been prepared a long time ago, and those who wanted to sleep brought it up so that they could lick the bitter gall. Cloth table stroke.

The sleepiness has continued, the bitter gall has been passed around in the crowd, everyone feels that this bitter gall is the last hope in everyone's heart, as long as they carry it, as long as they carry it, everyone may find the hope of life.

And Liu Er, who had been awake in the crowd, kept looking at the watch he was wearing, watching the hands move forward little by little, and when it was almost twelve o'clock, his heart jumped.

According to the old practice, at twelve o'clock, it was a critical point, and normally the dogs in the village would bark, but today the dogs were all dead and not heard.

That doesn't mean nothing is happening.

The death of the village chief and those people made Liu Er's heart feel as if it had been smashed by a bullet called fear.

Sure enough, at the moment when the second hand reached twelve, a very sharp woman's laughter came from outside the room, and as soon as this laughter sounded, everyone looked in that direction in horror.

The timid children and women were so frightened by this laughter that they cried.

Soon Liu Er smelled the smell of urine.

Someone was so scared that they peed out.

Liu Er took a deep breath and forcibly cheered up, and at this time, someone spoke, "That's the direction of the Shuangsheng Temple." ”

"Oh my God, they're alive and coming for us?" A woman opened her mouth and screamed.

More and more people were afraid to speak, and the scene became extremely noisy.

At a certain moment, the door of the ancestral hall was knocked on, and with a bang, it was extremely crisp, and everyone present looked at each other, "Who is outside?" ”

"The people living in the village are all in the ancestral hall!" Someone spoke immediately.

At this moment, from the direction of the door, there was the same sharp laughter that had just begun, only this time, the laughter was clearer.

The thing that made the laughter was right outside the door.

Everyone noticed this, and the knock at the door rang rhythmically, and everyone present held their breath, staring at the door like owls in the night.

Bang, bang, bang!

The knock on the door kept ringing, and no one dared to speak, as if they were not the ones who had been making noise out of fear.

Giggles!

A shrill laugh came through the door, and the laughter was full of resentment and a hint of mockery, and it was creepy to listen to.

The villagers who were yawning one after another just now were gone, even a little sleepy.

"It's useless, you can't run away!" The voice in the door rang again.

Then the knocking on the door stopped abruptly, and it took about half an hour before someone tentatively said, "Gone?" ”

"Seems like so." Liu Er also said with some hesitation.

"What the hell is that?" Someone immediately asked.

Liu Er shook his head, "I don't know, it should be like this today, everyone stay up, this time it's over." ”

"Are the double saints we worship our ancestors? How do I feel like we're worshipping dirty things. Someone spoke.

This time no one spoke, and everyone knew that in their hearts.

The twin saints who usually worship themselves as gods may not be a good thing.

The slaughtering of chickens and cows on weekdays for the New Year's holidays, isn't that digging their own graves?

This thought flashed through Liu Er's mind, and suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a pair of huge blood-red eyes staring at the people in the ancestral hall through the window.
