Chapter 775: The Curse of the Bird River
"You're going to go with me to the Bird River?" I didn't expect Zhao Wei to make such a request to me, "The Jianiao River is a forbidden place, even if you have a heart-eating worm, it will be difficult to survive." ”
"I know." Zhao Wei nodded heavily, and then suddenly asked me: "I must go to the Jianiao River, I want to avenge my mother, my father, and the people who have died in the Jianiao River for generations." ”
Zhao Wei's eyes were bloodshot when he spoke, hatred and anger made his face distort, and there was a gurgling sound in his stomach, which was a heart-piercing worm wriggling, as if it was about to attack at any time.
I frowned and looked at Zhao Wei, I didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Wei's words, I heard the woman say that Zhao Wei was an orphan since he was a child, and his parents died and he was taken care of by Liu Kairong to survive, but he didn't say how his parents died.
"Your parents died in the Kotori River?"
I asked, but Zhao Wei shook his head with tears, which made me a little confused, since Zhao Wei's parents did not die in the Jianiao River, why did Zhao Wei go to the Jianiao River to take revenge, this is simply something that has nothing to do with the wind and horses.
"Although my parents did not die in the Bird River, they were forced to die by the Bird River."
Zhao Wei's words became more and more outrageous, making me more and more confused, "Although there are many skeleton ghosts in the Jianiao River, as far as I know, which skeleton ghosts can't cross the location of the channel, how could your parents be forced to death by a river?" ”
"The reason why you don't understand is because you don't know the curse of the Kotori River."
After Zhao Wei finished speaking, he paused and raised his head to look at me and said: "At the beginning, Shiyazi Village was hunting in the mountains, and there were more than 3,000 people at the time of the largest population, and there were many villages around, but for hundreds of years, the population has only one-tenth left, do you know why?" ”
At that time, there was a lot of game in the mountains to pay back the money, and more hunters hunted to form a village, but later because there were fewer and fewer wild animals in the mountains, and many animals were protected after the opening, the hunters became more and more sad, and most of them left, resulting in the population becoming what it is now.
After I finished speaking, Zhao Wei sneered, "The prohibition of hunting has only been for decades, this mountain is dense and grassy in addition to the forbidden land, and there are many wild beasts, hunters don't need to migrate at all, the reason why they have become such a small number of people is because of the curse of the Jianiao River." ”
"What exactly is the curse of the Kotori River?"
After thinking about it carefully, what Zhao Wei said is indeed reasonable, there are several mountains here, even if there is no way to repay the money if there is less prey, it should not be difficult to feed the people here, and there is no baptism of war here, and the population should not be reduced to one-tenth.
Speaking of the curse of the Jianiao River, Zhao Wei's face was full of hatred and resentment, "The people who live around the Jianiao River will disappear within a year for no reason once a baby is born, and the child's mother will also go to the upper reaches of the Jianiao River to gouge out her eyes and throw herself into the river. ”
Gouging out their eyes and throwing themselves into the river to commit suicide, isn't this what those skeleton ghosts experienced before they died, Liu Baiwen had already told me last time, but what I didn't expect was that those women who committed suicide by gouging out their eyes turned out to be mothers who lost their children one by one.
No wonder the resentment of those skeletons and ghosts is so strong, think of how strong the resentment of a desperate mother who has lost her baby can be, but I can't figure it out, although those women are very painful to lose their children, there is no need to commit suicide.
And where have all those children gone, and hasn't anyone found any clues over the years?
"How long has the curse of the Jianiao River existed, doesn't the second master of the Liu family care?" The thought of those poor women and missing children made a nameless fire rise in my heart.
"The curse has existed for hundreds of years, which is also the reason why the population of Shiyazi Village and the surrounding villages is getting smaller and smaller," Zhao Wei sighed, "I heard that the second master has investigated the root cause of the curse, but unfortunately in the end, it will not be resolved." ”
Hmph, I couldn't help but snort coldly, I have already seen the strength of the second master of the Liu family, even the big centipede demon god enshrined by the Huang family can be destroyed, there is definitely the limit of heaven and earth, and if you cooperate with the charm, you even have the power to surpass the limit of heaven and earth, if they want to investigate the curse here, they will definitely be able to find out.
Later, it was not over, it must have been deliberately laissez-faire, just like the corpse soil under Shiyazi Village, in order to protect the materials of the second master's lineage, they did not take any measures at all, but let the corpse soil alienate into ghosts and zombies, so that the villagers of Shili Eight Village could take the materials and beg them to help.
The second master has always regarded himself as a guardian, but in fact, they are simply accomplices of various ghosts and the curse of the Bird River.
"Later, people found a way to deal with the curse," Zhao Wei's voice trembled a little and said, "That is, after the child is born, as long as the mother dies, the child can be saved." ”
"What, mother is dead." My heart trembled, "Do you want to kill the child's mother?" ”
Zhao Wei nodded heavily, blood and tears flowed from his eyes, and he looked at the direction of the Jia Niao River with a fierce light, "That's right, my mother asked my father to kill her in order to protect me, and then my father raised me, but when I was five years old, my father couldn't bear the mental pressure and committed suicide, and I became an orphan." ”
It turned out to be like this, I looked at Zhao Wei, I didn't expect Zhao Wei to have such a tragic experience, no wonder he had such a big hatred for Jia Bird River, it turned out that his parents died under the curse of Jia Bird River.
"Qin Ling, I know that you are going to go to the Jianiao River with Liu Baiwen, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, because I alone can't extinguish the curse of the Jianiao River, although my strength is limited, but I am already determined to die, please take me with you."
Zhao Wei said to me in a serious tone, almost kneeling down to me, I frowned and wanted to refuse, but in the end I still felt too cruel, Zhao Wei has always put the hatred of his parents in his heart, and now he has become this person and ghost, it is estimated that he doesn't even know when he will die, maybe going to the Jianiao River is his greatest wish.
I nodded, and was about to agree, but then I heard someone say loudly, "No, you can't go with us." ”
I followed the voice and looked over, and found that the person who spoke was Liu Baiwen, Liu Baiwen didn't catch up when I chased the dry corpse just now, and now he suddenly appeared to stop Zhao Wei's request, I said with some unhappiness: "Liu Baiwen, Zhao Wei's strength is also good, maybe he can help us, take him." ”
