Chapter 15: The Sacrifice

"What sound?" A chill ran down Erxi's spine.

"Pig barks." Xiao Li looked at him and smiled, his eyes changed, no longer like a five or six-year-old child, maliciously filled his big clear eyes, and he didn't hide it at all.

The wind and rain were shaking, the whole house was hazy under the wind and rain, and it seemed that it was not so real, and there were several figures in the courtyard, each of them was expressionless, not like a living person, but like a few puppets holding strings.

Erxi looked left and right, and found that each of the three members of the family did not move, and the dead fish-like eyes looked at him, motionless, eager to poke a hole in him.

Now, he finally realized that something was wrong, and cold sweat was dripping down, and he gasped sharply, and retreated towards the door little by little.

"Dad, he's going to run." Xiao Li suddenly raised his hand, and his delicate fingertips were facing Erxi, startling him out of a spirit. At the same time, he heard a "clang" behind him, turned his head, and found that the woman had locked the door, and showed him a warm smile.

"Brother Hu, if you let me go back, I will never leak a word about today's events, I haven't seen anything, I haven't heard anything......"

Just as he was trembling and begging for mercy, there was another scream in the backyard, terrible and painful, piercing through the rain and fog and plunging straight into the inky sky.

"Didn't you hear anything? Then you say, what is this cry? Hu Jing grinned, revealing the yellow-black front teeth inside.

"The pig barks, yes...... It's the pig that screams. Erxi continued his words, and he cried, tears streaming down his cheeks.

In the haze of tears, he saw Hu Jing pick up an axe at his feet, walk towards him with heavy steps, and when he reached his side, he put the axe against his neck, "Go, I'll let you see how we slaughtered pigs." ”

***

Erxi was tied to a bloodstained chair, the dried blood was of course not his own, and he didn't know if it was the bloody man who was dragged out of the pigsty. After all, two people have died, this man should be the third, and himself, will it be the fourth......

Human and livestock.

Erxi recognized the man who was moaning, he was Wangcheng, the tea stall in the market, he had been missing for several days, it turned out that he had been brought here.

Now, Wang Cheng was carried by Hu Jing to a stone table, his hands and feet tied to the four wooden stakes standing at the four corners of the stone table, and he couldn't move. But Erxi felt that they were doing it too much, because there was hardly a piece of intact place on Wang Cheng's body, and the corner of his forehead was smashed by a sharp weapon, and the wound had already suppurated, oozing black and red pus and blood outward. The rest of the body was black and purple, apparently having been beaten

A few meals. Now Wang Cheng was already dying, and there were only a few broken breaths left in his chest, barely enough for him to let out a pre-death moan.

Erxi is very strange, why did they leave Wang Cheng until this time, if they didn't want to be discovered, they should have killed Wang Cheng when they caught him, why did they wait so long to attack him, could it be just to torture him for a few more days, let him taste the pain and then give him a good time?

Thinking of this, he seemed to anticipate his fate in the future, and shivered heavily, and his body trembled even more.

Several people of the Hu family went to the outer courtyard after tying up Wang Cheng, and now in the inner courtyard, there are only two of them left, Er Xi stared at Wang Cheng's eyes, and found that in addition to despair, there was another thing inside.

Extrication.

Yes, this man was relieved before he died, which shows what inhuman torture he had suffered.

Erxi cried again, although his mouth was filled with a fishy rag, but he still let out a silent wail, he finally figured out now, it turned out that he and the Hu family father and son did not meet by chance, they have been guarding the door of the gambling house, waiting for his stupid rabbit to fall into the trap.

The door of the inner courtyard was pushed open, and Erxi saw Hu Jing and his old father walking in front, the two of them carrying a bronze tripod together, Xiaoli and the aunt of the Hu family followed closely behind, and the four of them all looked solemn, even with a little awe, and the appearance of Fang Cai was like two people.

What are they going to do? What's in it?

Erxi stared at the bronze tripod intently, and he found that the tripod was shaking slightly, and the lid of the tripod was shaken by the shaking, revealing a black gap.

Could it be that there is a living creature in the ding?

A huge fear held Erxi tightly from head to toe, and he stared at the crack, and vaguely saw something swim against the gap and disappear into the depths of the bronze tripod. He gasped heavily, his whole back pressed against the back of his chair, trying to get a little farther away from the huge copper ding, a little farther away.

It turned out that Wang Cheng was still wrong, death was not liberation, death was a pain that was even more unbearable than picking out the gall and plucking out the heart.

The bronze tripod was placed in front of the stone table, and the contents seemed to smell blood, so it became excited, and its body hit the wall of the tripod with a "tom tom".

Wang Cheng completely collapsed, he must have regretted that he was awake at the moment, so he suddenly opened his mouth and clamped his two rows of teeth fiercely......

"Dad, he bit his tongue and killed himself."

Xiao Li exclaimed, Hu Jing hurriedly walked to Wang Cheng's side, and desperately opened his mouth, but it was too late, and the bitten off half of his tongue rolled from his lips to the ground, bounced twice on the ground, and did not move.

Seeing this scene, the four members of the Hu family were all shocked, and the woman knelt down with weak legs, kowtowing to the bronze Dading, and muttering some words that Erxi couldn't understand.

"It is a great taboo for a man or an animal to die on the altar." Hu Laohan shook his son's arm and muttered to himself.

Hu Jing also panicked, he slapped Wang Cheng's face desperately, pinching and pouring water, but half a moment passed, and the fat figure on the stone table still didn't wake up.

"Let's change people." The aunt of the Hu family trembled and pulled her husband's arm, while glancing at Erxi.

"I've already gone to the altar, and now I'm going to change people, I'm afraid it won't be done." Hu Jing clenched his fists and stared at the bronze tripod with his eyes, "If it breaks, everything we have done will be in vain." ”

Falling short?

Hearing him say these four words, a bright light suddenly rose in Erxi's heart, could it be that because of Wang Cheng's death, all this is over? Won't you become a human animal?

Aftermath.

He tried his best to savor the beauty of these four words, and burst into a hearty laugh from the bottom of his heart.

"Click".

The lid suddenly fell to the ground, and in the darkness, something slowly poked out, and it slowly swam to the ground, winding towards the half of the tongue.

Erxi stared at the strange scene in front of him and let out a silent scream. ()
