"Do you remember what the dark shadow said?" I hurriedly asked.

"You won't forget when you're dead." Su Yan shuddered: "The black shadow said, in another 16 years, you will marry me." Su Qing didn't know what it meant to marry, so she nodded happily. Then, the shadow's hand suddenly lengthened, grabbed my arm, looked at me and said, 'As for you, it won't be long before it's mine.' I was so frightened that I kept screaming, and when I woke up, I realized that I was crying so hard that I couldn't stop crying.

My mother was frightened again, so she took a red rope and tied it to my face in the same way as the old lady in the car. The second aunt's family came to see what was going on, and she had a child at home, a girl, about four years old. Laugh out loud that I'm crying when I'm so old, ashamed. Then I saw to my horror that the girl was looking behind me, as if something was standing there.

However, the beds in the guest rooms were placed next to the walls, and there was room for people to stand at the back, not to mention everyone standing at the door. I hurriedly asked the girl, 'Did you see anything?' ’

The girl actually nodded and said, "Sister Su Yan, there is an uncle standing behind you. Did he make you cry? ’

The second aunt was frightened, and hurriedly scolded her: "Don't talk nonsense, little child, there is nothing behind Sister Su Yan." He also made her 'bah' three times in a row, and spit out the evil spirit.

I looked back in horror and saw that there was really a dark shadow on the wall behind me, the black shadow of the man I had seen in the car and in my dreams. It didn't look at me, but at the girl from the second aunt's house, looking straight ahead, as if it had encountered something very interesting.

Shortly after returning from her second aunt's house, the girl died. No one knows the cause of death, that is, walking on the road, jumping up as he walks, and he dies after a while. The corpse was exposed to the sun, but it exuded a slight chill, like frozen meat freshly taken out of an ice cellar. ”

"Su Qing's birthday, what day is it?" I listened to this brief description that was more mysterious than a ghost story, and my head was big. If it's simple or pleasing to the eye, it can be used as a conversation point at a party. But this is Su Yan's own experience, and I can't explain it. The feeling of panic is really uncomfortable.

"I don't know." Su Yan and Su Qin shook their heads at the same time, too, in this era when children almost don't remember the age and birthday of their parents, it is indeed difficult for them to remember the birthday of a cousin.

Unexpectedly, Xueyi actually raised her hand and said, "I know." Miss Su Qing's birthday is May 15th, and I remember that every year on her birthday, a girl would give her a birthday gift. ”

"May 15th? Isn't that exactly what it is today? "I'm a little disappointed. The black shadow said that she would pick up Su Qing at the age of twenty-six, and it seemed that her disappearance had nothing to do with her birthday. No, it seems that I have overlooked something! My eyes suddenly lit up, and I asked again: "Xueyi, are you talking about the Common Era or the lunar calendar?" ”

"Miss Su Qing's birthday has always been in your mouth, what?" Snowcoat blinked, not understanding what I meant.

I almost jumped up, and hurriedly opened the perpetual calendar on my phone: "Twenty-six years ago, May 15, should be the second day of the fourth lunar month, which happened to be the day Su Qing disappeared. It seems that her disappearance is really related to the black shadow, the Su family, and even the entire Yangjia Village. ”

Xueyi looked at me puzzled. Su Qin and Su Yan glanced at each other and said, "It has something to do with the Su family, we can understand." But how did Su Qing get involved with Yangjiacun? ”

I didn't rush to explain, but looked at the deep blue, unreal sky through the cracks in the dilapidated roof, and whispered, "Don't you think this village is really weird? ”

"No matter how weird it is, I haven't found anything to do with Su Qing." Su Qin retorted.

"So, Xueyi, what do you think you are? Why do the villagers of Yangjia Village respect you so much? Why is it that you are the only one in the whole village who is leisurely and does not have to do anything? I turned my gaze back to the snowsuit.

A trace of doubt slipped across the girl's face, and she replied blankly: "I, I don't know." ”

"I vaguely guessed something. The connection between you and Su Qing in the dream is not accidental. Because you and she may be the same kind of people. I said slowly.

"I am the same kind of person as Miss Su Qing? What kind of people? The snowcoat held his head high, not knowing why.

"Sacrifice!" I finally spit out two words that I had been chewing on for a long time.

The two sisters Su Qin gasped at the same time. Xueyi still didn't understand.

"I said you were a sacrifice, of course for a reason. In a place of ignorance and backwardness, the population is gradually declining, and it is on the verge of extinction. Then, the most direct means of reviving the village is usually through sacrifice. I said slowly: "In every nation and civilization, the sacrifice is usually a woman under eighteen. Pure and beautiful, with privileges before the sacrifice, living a life of abundance and food. Xueyi, didn't you tell me on the road that other peers have reached the age of talking about marriage at the age of sixteen. Only you don't have a matchmaker to be a matchmaker, and even the opposite sex of the same age dares to communicate with you? ”

Xueyi nodded stunnedly.

"This is the evidence, because you are the wife of the god enshrined in Yangjia Village. Everyone is afraid of you. I said again.

Xueyi finally understood what I meant, shook her head and smiled: "How is this possible, I, I ......"

The girl didn't go on, and it seemed that she was gradually feeling that the attitude of the villagers was a little abnormal for her. Perhaps, the only explanation is the reason I mentioned.

"Ye is silent, do you mean that the black shadows that haunt our Su family, my sister, Su Qing, and the black shadows I have seen are the gods sacrificed in Yangjia Village?" Su Qin asked in a trembling voice: "But how can that so-called god be involved with us and can't get along with my family?" ”

"I don't know, that's what we have to figure out." I shook my head slowly, the three words 'I don't know' are the words I hear the most today and what I say the most, helpless and powerless.

"But one thing I know is that we have to get out of the village as soon as possible, immediately." I withdrew my gaze from the sky and said in an anxious tone: "I always have a sense of urgency, as if some danger is approaching. If you don't run away as soon as possible, you won't be able to escape again! ”

How to escape the village and return to the civilized world is a problem. Because there is something inappropriate in using the word 'escape' to describe it. Since there is no one to stop him and the others from leaving, then just leave silently.
