The old man's words made everyone in the room fall silent.

For the villagers of Inhuman Village, what they want most is to live and live in peace.

However, they were still killed.

Just ask, is it because they have done something wrong, or if the world is too greedy!

"Grandpa, what happened then?"

"They saved the villagers and used the medicinal herbs they brought to heal their wounds. They said they were passing by the medicine merchants, and they had come to see the fire in the village. At first, everyone was still a little jealous of them, after all, the village had just suffered a catastrophe, but after they helped the villagers to treat, they left at dawn the next day. This walk is months. ”

"Months?" Qu Youying said, "It's a long line to catch big fish." ”

Only a true calculator will take longer to kill bigger fish!

The old man nodded and said, "That's right. But at that time, the villagers of Inhuman Village did not expect this to be the case. ”

Yes, how can this kind of thing be thought of so much for villagers who have not been deeply involved in the WTO?

What's more, the other party had a life-saving grace for them, and they left without wanting to reciprocate.

If you meet it again, then this kindness must be repaid.

"In the winter of that year, the sister of the head of Inhuman Village went out to shop, and on the way back, they encountered a snowstorm, and while they were hiding from the wind and snow in the mountains, they met one of them again who had saved them. The man fell into a cliff because of his belongings, got lost in the mountains, and was in danger of dying in a snowstorm. The village chief's sister kindly saved him, but because she was not at ease, she took the person back to the village the next day and hid it in her own home, hidden from outsiders. ”

Qu Youying could think of why the woman did that.

Although she is a life-saving benefactor, after all, the village has village rules, and she is afraid, but she is worried about that person's life, so there is only one way to hide it.

The old man coughed again as he spoke, and it was Xie Xiaoer who patted him on the back on the side to ease his breath, so that he eased up a little.

He wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth and continued to tell the unfinished story.

But the good times didn't last long, and the man's existence was discovered, and the village chief wanted him to leave. The man agreed. But just as he was leaving, someone died. ”

"Dead?"

"Yes." The old man said, "The people of the Inhuman Village will not live to be thirty years old. And the one who died was a month away from his thirtieth birthday. His death, the indifference of the people around him, made the man very strange. Under his questioning, the village chief's sister told the story of the short life of the Inhuman Village. But he immediately said that he had a way to let the people of the village live past the age of thirty. ”

For a village that was destined to die, it would be a great joy to be able to break this terrible prophecy.

What's more, everyone has a greed in their hearts.

As long as there is greed, it will be used.

The man undoubtedly knew what the people of the village wanted most, and used it to achieve his goal.

At first, the people in the village didn't believe it, but the man said he really had a way. It just so happened that there was a person who was about to celebrate his thirtieth birthday with seven days left. So the man made him a test subject. And then he succeeded. The first person in the village to live past his thirtieth birthday appeared. ”

"The appearance of the first one will only intensify the trust of the people in the village in that person, and it is inevitable that he will stay."

Qu Youying's words made the old man nod heavily.

"Yes, after that day, the whole village was shouting, but some people still didn't dare to let their guard down easily. In particular, the village chief, he said, will wait for months, half a year, a year, or more people who are about to survive their thirties to survive. Faced with such conditions, the man easily agreed. He has remained in the village ever since. But miracles have been happening around him, as long as it is the medicine he has developed, the people who take it have passed the thirty safely. Since then, no one has died in the village. Therefore, all the people in the village unconditionally accepted this person and trusted this person. And he also married the village chief's sister and conceived a child that belonged to them. What seemed like a happy life unfolded at that moment. At the time, no one would have thought that the nightmare would strike again without warning after five years of absence. ”

Qu Youying looked at the old man and said to the end, and his timbre choked again.

She can imagine the happiness of such a group of people, after many years of horror.

You can also experience the feeling of being pushed off the cliff at the happiest time.

"What was the purpose of the man's slaughter? If there really were treasures in the village that could be taken at will, it wouldn't have taken him five years. That thing can't be taken easily, can it? ”

Unexpectedly, Su Changdu, who had always been quiet, suddenly asked, and the question was to the point.

The old man didn't answer immediately, and Xie Xiaoer, who was sitting next to him, asked, "Grandpa, is there really a treasure in Yiren Village?" ”

The old man still didn't answer, he looked at the bones of his wife in the box in front of him, and his eyes gradually moistened.

"You can say yes, but you can also say no."

Qu Youying asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Because for the people of Inhuman Village, the most precious thing is their unusual people, and it is the short life they desire the most. But in the eyes of outsiders, these are the ones who occupy the treasure and want to keep it alone. Some people even think that the reason why Inhuman Village has a short lifespan is because they guard something that can make people immortal. They were like a group of faithful guardians, generation after generation, just to protect that thing. Early death is nothing but a sacrifice of one's life. ”

"Ridiculous." Xie Xiaoer sneered, "How can there be any immortal thing in this world?" That's the greed of the world! ”

The old man glanced at him, and there was a rare appreciation in his eyes.

"But they don't think as much as you do, they decided that there are treasures in Inhuman Village. So on that night, when everyone was congratulating the village chief's sister on her imminent birth, the ordeal happened. ”

At this point, he paused, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing before speaking.

"The man who was supposed to be the father took advantage of everyone's absence, opened the gate of the village, and let a group of men in black invade the village and carry out a large-scale massacre. They slew all together, young and old, women and children. Even the sister of the village chief who was about to give birth, his wife, he did not let go. ”

"Brute! That man is a brute! The other party is his wife! No matter how greedy he is, it belongs to their children, how can he be so ruthless! ”

Qu Youying became more and more chilled the more she listened, she couldn't imagine that a person could treat her wife and children like this for the sake of profit.

If not, how could a woman marry a stranger outside the village?

If she didn't love, how could she have the courage to conceive a child for him?

A woman is pregnant for ten months, and it is already hard, and she has to bear the pain of tearing, giving birth to a fetus in her womb.

And a lot of the time, it's nine deaths!

But that man actually killed them!

Qu Youying suddenly remembered that it was the village chief's sister, who was among the bones of the abandoned house, the female corpse who guarded the fetus in her womb until she died.

She was furious, her body trembling slightly.

Mu Jingzhu watched, took a step closer to her, raised his hand and patted her back gently, comforting her wordlessly.

"Xiaoying is right, that person is a brute." Xie Xiaoer was also very unhappy, he turned his head and asked the old man who was also wiping away his tears, and said, "Grandpa, who is that person?" ”

"You all know that man."

The old man looked out the window at the peaceful sky, and the scorching sun shone on the earth.

But it was difficult to shine into this dilapidated and cramped room.

Because it's the same mood as the moment, cold and dark.

"Who is it?"

"Captain."

Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Su Changju, "How do you know it's Tai Wei?" ”

"It's simple. First, Taiwei was born as a pharmacist. Second, more than thirty years ago, the Taiwei had disappeared for five years. Third, the development of Taiwei's career began after he disappeared twenty-five years ago. And in the old man's recollection, if the person's name was mentioned, it would be better expressed, but he didn't, which was the key to this person's identity. Looking at the whole case, even if the bones were dug up and the situation was suspicious, for the Taiwei who wanted to go home to worship his ancestors, ancestor worship was a big deal, but he stayed in Xiangling Town and left for a long time. ”

Su Changju's points are very reasonable.

And it was also confirmed by the old man.

"This boy is right. The person back then was indeed the captain of the dynasty. ”

When the old man spoke of him, his words and expression were mixed with hatred.

"So what did the Captain take from the village?"

It was the silent "Brother Erniu" who asked this, and when he spoke, he also attracted Xie Xiaoer's look.

Although the voice was muffled, a person who had nothing to do with this case would definitely attract attention if he asked about it.

So immediately, Xie Xiaoer was a little suspicious of this person's identity, and when he was about to ask, he was glared at by Qu Youying.

She glanced at him, and then raised her chin towards Su Changdu.

Xie Xiaoer immediately understood, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and changed the topic and said, "What did he take?" ”

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly laughed, he laughed a little helplessly, a little painful.

He took the fruit of the only tree in the village. Then the big tree was also dug up. ”

"What tree has such a big attraction?"

Xie Xiaoer asked.

"yes, what kind of tree is that?"

Qu Youying also asked.

The old man sighed heavily and said, "I don't know." ”

"Huh?"

"No one knows what kind of tree it is, it's evergreen, blooms twice a year, withers overnight, and is the oldest tree in the village. No one knows how old the tree is, but every year, the village chief organizes the villagers to worship the tree, and it is said to be a sacred tree that can fulfill wishes. But the sacred tree only blooms and does not bear fruit, but twenty-five years ago, a month before the destruction of the Inhuman Village, the big tree grew a fruit, round. At that time, some people thought it was ominous, but others thought it was a good thing and enshrined it well. ”

When the old man said this, his eyes suddenly widened, all his qi and blood were used on his head, his whole face was swollen purple, and the person began to twitch.

"What's going on?"

Xie Xiaoer's eyes were quick, and he slapped the old man's back hard, thinking that he was blocked by a mouthful of blood in his throat and couldn't breathe.

Qu Youying also stepped forward to check, the old man's body was stiff, his complexion was cold, and he was black.

"Su Changju, come and see, what's wrong?"

"It's time."

"When?"

is not as exaggerated as the reaction of the two, but Su Changju is very calm.

He sat down on a stool leisurely and said, "It's time for the golden needle to renew his life." ”

"But that's not the end of the story!"

Qu Youying was anxious, but found that the old man was pulling her sleeve.

Seeing this, she leaned down and approached.

The old man was in his ear, his lips and teeth moved lightly, and he opened his mouth with difficulty and said, "That tree...... ...... with blood Irrigate...... Red bark ...... Xilin ......"
