I was stunned for a moment, and laughed a little embarrassedly, because I really didn't have anything to eat on me, in a locked down place like Longhu Village. The most precious thing to read in the full text of the latest chapter should be food, and my storage zài is indeed a burden.

The middle-aged man smiled at me and said, "I don't know who you are, but now that I've seen you." I can't see death without saving it, then I'll be very upset, multiple people have more pairs of chopsticks. It's a big deal that each of us eats a little less, so that you can also be fed. ”

The more I listened, the more I was upset, I searched my backpack and found that there were still a few pieces from when I was in Babao Village. There were about a dozen packs of compressed biscuits that I hadn't eaten, and when I took out the compressed biscuits, the little girl also looked at the biscuits in my hand with some longing.

After I gave her the biscuits, I also said to the middle-aged man, "Big brother, I won't bother for too long, you tell me what is going on in this village, and when I get things straightened out, I will leave, and I won't live here." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at me and said, "Look at you like this, you are from outside the village, although I don't know what your purpose is here." But I have to tell you that choosing to come to us is the biggest mistake. As long as you come in, you can't get out. ”

"Can't get out?" I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then you used to ......."

"That was before. Ten years ago, this was the case in this village......" the middle-aged man said, his eyes full of confusion.

The middle-aged man's name is Liu Er, and his daughter's name is Liu Xiangxiang. Liu Er is an orthodox native of Longhu Village, who has lived in Longhu Village since he was a child, and has never been out of this island at all, while Liu Xiangxiang was born a few years after that incident.

In fact, although Longhu Village seems a little strange to others, it is taken for granted in the eyes of the locals of Longhu Village, whether it is people who die in the village or worship the Shuangsheng Temple.

The people of Longhu Village occupy such an island, and they are already completely self-sufficient, although there is no water or electricity, but they can barely live on their own.

When you really need something, you go out and buy it, and it's nothing.

However, ten years ago, on August 15, this peaceful day took a different turn.

When he said this, Liu Er's eyes also had a little fear in them, that kind of fear could not be pretended, it was completely the fear engraved in his bones, if he was not really scared, he would definitely not have this expression when he recalled it.

Although the customs of Longhu Village are different from those of people outside, some festivals are still the same, except that the people here have changed the Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing on August 15 to worship the double saints.

Every year on August 15, the people of Longhu Village gather in the Shuangsheng Temple to worship the Shuangsheng.

Every family has to kill chickens and cows, worship the double saints, and then take the wine and meat after the worship, and go back to the courtyard to enjoy.

That day was no exception.

Since the morning, the people in the village have been busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival worship of the Double Sages, and every family, even children, has to help.

Even the most idle people in the village would pretend to be very diligent on that day.

Liu Er's family is not wealthy in Longhu Village, so he doesn't have any cattle and sheep, but just killed a chicken.

The moon that night was particularly round, according to Liu Er's description, he had never seen such a round and bright moon, this was the most complete moon he had ever seen in his life. Cloth Demon Festival.

So much so that in the evening, the temple in the village wishes that there will be a good harvest in the coming year.

That day, Liu Er took the newly slaughtered chicken at home to worship in the Shuangsheng Temple, and there was no problem when worshipping.

But when the worship was over, a thick fog began to fill the village, which was not as thick as it is now, and they lived on the island, so it was often foggy on weekdays.

So no one took the fog seriously.

When the worship was over, the group returned home with wine and meat, and after eating, they went to sleep.

That night, around twelve o'clock in the night, all the dogs in the village began to bark wildly, and Liu Er said that he was finishing that with his daughter-in-law at that time, and was just about to sleep.

I couldn't sleep because of the dog's barking.

He almost went out and killed the dogs, and the barking continued all night, and he didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, just as he was about to go to bed, a man came into the house.

The person who came in was the village chief of Longhu Village, named Liu Guoqing, who was also quite prestigious in Longhu Village on weekdays, and when he came in, his expression was a little wrong, but he still asked Liu Er not to sleep, and quickly dressed and went to the ancestral hall to gather.

After finishing speaking, he hurried away to remind the next family.

Originally, Liu Er planned to sleep directly, but the village chief was also good to his family on weekdays, and sometimes when the family was poor and couldn't open the pot, the village chief also helped him.

So he thought about it, put on his clothes, let his mother-in-law sleep first, and then went to the ancestral hall after enduring sleepiness.

When I arrived at the ancestral hall, there were already a lot of people in the ancestral hall, and there were many people picking them up one after another, and almost the whole village was here.

Liu Er noticed that the expressions of these people were not quite right, their faces looked miserable and pale, and their faces were full of deep fear, and he found that he was a person who hadn't slept all night, and he was much more energetic than these people.

Soon, all the men in the village came, some of the men in the family had died, that is, the women came, in short, the ancestral hall was overcrowded at that time, but surprisingly no one spoke, and everyone was a little restless to see the village chief standing in the middle of the ancestral hall.

It seems that he is very eager for the village chief to say something.

Liu Er was even more confused, what happened, why was it just one night, everyone was different?

Soon, Liu Er knew the truth of the matter.

It turned out that most people went home that night and went to bed after eating, and some people went to bed a little late, but they didn't go past twelve o'clock.

Of course, there is nothing surprising about this, after all, the villagers of Longhu Village themselves go to bed relatively early, and few go to bed more than twelve o'clock.

Even Liu Er, because he didn't know what was going on that day, he couldn't get up for a long time, so his wife tinkered for a long time, and there was no movement, and finally got hard, but after tinkering for a while, it softened again, and so on a few times, thinking that there was something wrong with him, the two of them were a little frightened, and they didn't fall asleep at twelve o'clock.

After all, they don't have children yet, and if they don't do it then, they will have to cut off their grandchildren.

And those who fell asleep all had a dream, a very bizarre dream.

In the dream, they all saw a handsome man wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty and a beautiful woman wearing the clothes of the lady of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to thank the people in the village, there is nothing to repay, so I can only invite everyone to come and watch a play in my dreams.

It should be to repay everyone.

The dreamers didn't feel anything, after all, Shuangsheng was worshiped by himself since he was a child, and he heard the older people in the village say that these two people were their former ancestors, and it was impossible for the ancestors to harm themselves, so they all agreed and went in to watch the play together.

After entering, these people realized that something was wrong, because they found that there were many people in the house, and these people were from the village, and they counted them, and most of them arrived.

It's just that these people sitting there watching the play have a somewhat dull expression, and they look like they have been frozen by ice.

But they sat down anyway.

The seats that remained were almost all filled, and only two seats were vacant, and then the male saint said, "What should I do, there are still two people who have not come, and the troupe is about to start." ”

"Wait, if they haven't come when the troupe starts, then forget it, after all, the people in the village are basically here, and the troupe doesn't wait for anyone." The saint smiled and said, her lips covered with lipstick looked a little hideous against the white skin.

Lamp Grass Says:

The third and fourth updates are not updated at twelve o'clock, it should be that the audit has been left work, and everyone can read it at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
