Chapter 115: The Shadow in the Dead of Night (Second Watch)

My aunt didn't answer my question directly, but asked rhetorically, "Ji Zang, what do you think people live for?" ”

This......

How is it a philosophical question?

For love? For freedom? For the cause? For the ideal? For the sake of human reproduction?

It seems that everything can be done, but each one is a bit one-sided, and this is a completely non-standard answer.

Somehow, I suddenly remembered the words of Liu Tianwang in Inspector Lei Luo, and blurted out: "For eating." ”

"Hey, you've seen that movie too!" Auntie smiled and continued: "That's right, people really live to eat. ”

I was a little confused: Isn't that a line from a movie? It's really the right answer.

The aunt sighed and continued: "Don't look at tourism over the years, remote mountainous areas like Miaojiang are also very profitable, but in history, for so many years, you can have land in the plains. Who wants to live in the mountains? The mountainous terrain is barren, and it was difficult to get enough to eat before there was no tourist economy. Therefore, it is normal for some people to be jealous and hateful of the Han family. ”

It has been said that the history of human warfare is ultimately about food. This is really not true at all, except for the internal war for power, whether it is a peasant uprising or a foreign invasion, it is all for stuttering.

Just like we see in the history books. Every time there is a change of dynasty, it is the common people who can't eat enough to start a war, maybe the reason will be climate change, or serious land annexation, etc., but in fact, the essence is the same, that is, too many people are hungry and can't survive.

As for foreign invasions, it is even more obvious in the history books, as long as there is bad weather on the grassland, the officials stationed on the Great Wall know that they must start preparing for war, because the nomads without rations will definitely go south to raid, they are hungry wolves, and they will not give up until they reach their goal.

Although there have been many famines and wars in history, the Han people occupy relatively rich plains, and this kind of rich life is the envy of many ethnic minorities.

I don't know if people with ulterior motives deliberately contributed to the trouble, or if the tribes that worshiped the demon gods back then still had fish that slipped through the net, some people in the Miaojiang tribe have been quietly spreading a saying that the Miaojiang people actually lived in the Central Plains at the earliest, and the gods of the Miaojiang people were defeated by the gods of the Han family, cut off their heads and sealed them, and drove the Miaojiang people to the impoverished mountainous areas.

Many Miaojiang people believe in this statement, which is also the reason why Miaojiang people have not been very friendly to the Han family in the past, this attitude towards the Han family has run through the entire feudal era, has continued to the Republic of China, and even in the early days of reform and opening up, many Miaojiang people are still hostile to outsiders, but they will not do it so easily.

That is to say, in recent years, transportation has developed, information has developed, exchanges between ethnic groups have become more frequent, and integration has become faster and faster, and the state's preferential policies for ethnic minorities have also been known by more Miaojiang people, so there is no hostility in the past.

It's just that extreme people are everywhere, and even in big cities with civilization and openness, there are incidents of cults hurting people, not to mention Miaojiang, which is still relatively backward.

The family where the mother and aunt belong is a family that believes in this statement avidly, and for this reason, they even did not hesitate to sacrifice their mother as bait to infiltrate Huangjialing. The sudden attack was launched during the important ceremony of the Ji family, which almost led to the destruction of the Ji family.

Mother and aunt's family? Isn't that my grandparents' family? Grandma should be fine, but what about grandpa? What about the rest of the family?

"Is it Grandpa? What happened back then was done by my grandfather's family? Is there a problem with that aunt? "I just feel a tingling in my scalp, after all, this kind of thing is really terrifying, and people who are related to me by blood have become hostile black hands, and I feel chills down my spine when I think about it.

"Yes." The aunt nodded with difficulty, sighed, and continued: "But your aunt has nothing to do with all this, she is married to another village. But back then, things were crazy, you know how tricky things were now, right? ”

"My mother has been arrested by my grandfather now? What about grandma, why did she go outside and not come back? As soon as I said this, I knew that I was wrong, that my grandmother had always been by my side, because she didn't want me to be discovered, and she didn't want things to go in a worse direction.

After being silent for a long time, the aunt spoke: "These things will be talked about later, the most important thing now is to get rid of the mark on your arm, and wait for this matter to be done." If we find a way to save your mother, we have to think about it in the long run. ”

My aunt is gone, I lie in bed but I can't sleep, the word grandfather is very kind to many people, but when it comes to me. But I have become the mastermind behind the scenes, how can I be calm?

But when I think of my mother, I feel even more painful, for me, my grandfather's family is still separated by a layer. For the mother, it is her biological father, her family, how painful should the mother be?

What's more, my mother is now being captured by my grandfather's family. imprisoned, as a son, I have the responsibility to save my mother, but it's a pity that I'm a scumbag, and now I'm still too busy to take care of myself. Not to mention going to save people, it's almost the same as delivering food.

The more I thought about it, the more painful I became, I couldn't fall asleep over and over, and time passed little by little. It wasn't until about three o'clock in the morning that I suddenly heard movement outside, so I got up and poked my head out and looked out the window.

The moon isn't very good tonight, it's a waning moon. Although the moonlight could illuminate the scene outside, it was too shadowy to see clearly, and I only saw two figures standing in the corner of the bamboo building opposite, talking.

One is tall and the other is short, and the emotions of the two people seem to be very excited, so the sound of the quarrel will involuntarily become louder. It reached my ears, but they quickly lowered their voices again, and since they were so far away, I couldn't hear what they were saying.

The two of them argued for about ten minutes. In the end, as if a consensus had been reached, the taller man patted the short man on the shoulder, and then quickly disappeared behind the bamboo building, while the short figure stood in the shadows and did not move.

After more than ten minutes, just when I wondered if he was like in a martial arts movie, he suddenly walked out of the shadow of the bamboo building, although I couldn't see his appearance clearly, but the other party's walking movements were a little special. Limped, it seemed to have a disability.

He walked slowly, but he didn't make any special movements, and soon disappeared behind another bamboo building.

I stood at the window and watched such a boring gossip, and I was a little tired. Lying on the bed, I finally fell asleep in a daze.

After falling asleep, I felt like I had come to a hill full of flowers, waiting for me to take a closer look. The whole heart couldn't help but be raised, because the flowers blooming all over the mountains and fields were so enchanting, and the whole hill seemed to be on fire.

Just as I was at a loss in the face of the fiery flowers on the hill, I was awakened from my sleep by a cacophony outside. I got up from the bed, came to the window and looked outside, only to see a crowd of people surrounded by black and oppressive people below, and the crowd was excited, obviously something was wrong.

I hurriedly got dressed, went downstairs and washed my face, and then went out with Liao Qingjiang, who had just gotten up and had a lot of strawberries planted in his neck, and came to the side of the crowd.

My aunt was not in the crowd, and I didn't know the other villagers in the village, and they were chattering in the dialect of Miaojiang, which Liao Qingjiang and I couldn't understand at all, but the eyes of these people looking at the two of us were very strange and full of hostility.

"Shall we go back first? Wait and see the excitement later? "I quit.

"Wait. I felt the breath of death, it was a human death. ”

Liao Qingjiang's words made my hairs stand up all at once, such a thing as a dead person, no matter where it is, is a big deal - as soon as the two of us outsiders arrived, there was a fatal relationship in the village. It is normal for these villagers to be suspicious of us.

While speaking, Feng Tingting also arrived and asked the villagers, "What's wrong?" ”
