Chapter 15: Crisis
The light of the pearl was no worse than the light, and I looked at the pearl and thought of the picture of the merman crying blood, and my heart felt as if I had been pricked by a needle.
The village chief looked at us and coughed slightly before he spoke: "Actually, our village has already encountered a huge crisis."
At this, the village chief glanced in the direction of the door, and motioned for us to go a little further, as if afraid that our conversation would be heard.
We cooperated and walked a few steps inside, and the village chief continued to speak: "This crisis may cost everyone in the village their lives, so now we must have someone to take us to capture the merman."
"What exactly is the crisis you are talking about?" I listened to the village chief repeatedly emphasize the crisis, but he didn't say it directly, and I was very puzzled.
The village chief sighed, as if he hadn't heard my question, but looked directly at Bai Liunian.
"Sir, would you like to help?" The village chief's eyes stared at Bai Liunian and asked.
"Then tell me first, why." Bai Liunian looked at these pearls, with an incomprehensible look between his eyebrows.
The village chief can't handle Bai Liunian's joy and anger, and he must really not be able to find any masters, so he can only tell us obediently.
He said that this is a long story, starting from more than 300 years ago.
This merman came to their shore and was arrested more than 300 years ago, just as Bai Liunian interpreted in the mural before.
The people of the old fishing village were very poor before, but after capturing the mermaids by despicable means, they lived an extremely rich life.
At that time, a total of 16 mermaids were captured, and some of them were caught, dried up blood and tears, and were cooked and eaten without any effect.
Everyone found that eating the blood of the mermaid can actually maintain youth, and after the old people eat it, they even become younger and younger.
Therefore, the people in the village began to compete to eat the blood of the sharks, which is why the people in the village are all young people.
And last night, after Mr. Du saw the merman, he engraved his name on the stone tablet with his own hands, and after he used the blood in his palm to make a blood spell on the deceased predecessors in the village in the ancestral hall, he also ate the merman's blood.
So, overnight, he was not only radiant, but also noticeably younger.
"But why don't you drink the merman's blood?" I looked at the village chief.
This village chief is also the only old man in this village, since the merman's blood can make people look rejuvenated, why doesn't he drink it? I just don't understand.
When the village chief heard me ask, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying that he not only drank it, but also drank it the most.
This mermaid blood, once drunk, has to be taken for a long time, these people in their village, each person is about three drops a day, a total of fifty-eight people in a village, looking at three drops is not much, but the long-term supply, it is a lot.
Moreover, the village chief found that the first batch of people who drank the blood of the mermaids had begun to show signs of decay.
Among them was the village chief's old father, who also participated in the capture of the merman, and it was he who discovered the powerful power contained in the merman's blood.
However, decades after he regained his youth, he began to slowly go downhill again, and the wrinkles on his skin not only appeared again, but also his body gradually declined.
The decline was terrible, and rapid, almost in a week or so, it became like a living dead dug out of the ground.
The shriveled only had a layer of skin left, and the blood vessels up and down the body burst out, and the eyeballs bulged out to look very terrifying, and after less than half a month, he suddenly died.
In order not to cause panic, the village chief did not say a word about this incident, only saying that the old man accidentally fell into the water and drowned, so the people in the village did not know the reason for this at that time.
It's just that after that, many elders in the village have passed away one after another, and the secrets that they originally wanted to keep can't be kept.
This is why the people in the village always show a gloomy expression now, they have no hope of living, so they can only live gloomily every day.
The village chief also admitted that he has gone from three drops of blood a day to drinking a large glass of blood every day to maintain his body's free movement.
Otherwise, as long as you break for a day, you will be uncomfortable, and your muscles will stiffen and atrophy.
But now there is only one merman left in the village, and it is obviously not enough to meet the needs of so many people, so the village chief has thought for a long time, and if he wants to continue to maintain, he must find more mermaids to walk.
"Can you take a look at it with your hand?" Bai Liunian looked at the village chief and asked for a long time.
After hearing this, the village chief immediately stretched out his hand and showed it to Bai Liunian.
After Bai Liunian saw it, he smiled coldly: "You originally lived more than sixty years, but now, I'm afraid you've lived a hundred years, right?"
"Today, there are more than 200 old men." The village chief looked at Bai Liunian and replied.
Bai Liunian squinted his eyes slightly when he heard this: "More than two hundred, it is already double the lifespan of ordinary people, are you still not satisfied?"
When the village chief heard Bai Liunian say this, he immediately laughed, and said that in this world, immortality should be pursued by many people, and if you can obtain immortality and maintain your youth forever, it will naturally be the best.
Including the emperors in ancient times, why did they cultivate immortals, not just for immortality?
These words of the old village chief made me feel extremely harsh when I heard it, they wanted to kill those innocent mermaids in order to live forever, which was too inhumane.
Moreover, he has lived for more than two hundred years and is not satisfied, and for his immortality, he doesn't know how many mermaids have to pay blood, but he seems to have never thought about those mermaids.
"Mr. Bai, you should have a bone needle in your body, right?" The village chief actually accurately said the poison planted by Bai Liunian.
He is now convinced that Bai Liunian will definitely compromise in order to survive.
Bai Liunian was expressionless, unclear about joy and anger, and the old village chief stared at Bai Liunian for a long time.
"Mr. Bai, staying is beneficial and harmless for you and your friend, I hope you can consider it carefully." He stroked his beard as he spoke: "I'm not forcing you, but now the sacrifice is imminent?"
