Chapter Eighty-Three: Slaughtering the Village with an Axe
The boss sighed and said, "Hey...... It's not, but I don't know what's wrong, the quality of sleep has been very low recently, and I don't sleep well at night, or I dream when I fall asleep, or I have nightmares! I woke up before dawn......"
Xiong Lei looked up at the black gas coming out of the boss's head, and it was difficult to say it directly, but he felt faintly hungry in his heart, the boss's insomnia and dreams, and the business in the tavern was not good, so it must have something to do with these ghosts staying here......
Xiong Lei pointed to the empty seat next to Jiaqi and said, "Anyway, you have nothing to do, sit down for a while!" Let's talk about ......."
The boss nodded and walked next to Jiaqi, turned his head to look at Jiaqi, who was only drinking by himself, and said, "Beauty...... What's on your mind? ”
Jiaqi pretended not to hear, ignored him, and drank by herself......
Xiong Lei waved his hand at the boss and said, "She's in a bad mood, don't pay attention to her, just let her drink some wine by herself......"
The boss nodded knowingly, turned to the bartender behind him and said, "A few more drinks!" Send! ”
That night, the atmosphere in the whole tavern was very depressing, and Xiong Lei didn't let go of the drink because of the ghosts everywhere around, and he was always afraid that one accidentally would collide with these ghosts and cause unnecessary trouble to himself......
Xiong Lei looked around with his peripheral vision, and said to the owner of the tavern: "This friend of mine knows some face-to-face skills, he just told me, seeing that your face is a little gray, and asked if you have encountered anything strange?" ”
The boss frowned slightly, glanced at Wu Ke, who was sitting next to Xiong Lei, and said to Xiong Lei: "Strange thing? If anything, I have the same nightmare almost every night......"
Xiong Lei asked curiously: "Tell me!" What a dream! ”
The boss sighed softly and told Xiong Lei what happened in his dreams every night......
His dreams were like fragments, which were repeated infinitely, and many times, and he remembered them all......
In the dream, he no longer seemed to be himself, but someone else......
The first clip shows him walking in a small, seemingly remote and isolated village, full of dirt roads, dusty on his clothes and shoes, and even the sky is grayish-yellow......
I don't know why, the villagers don't seem to like him very much, people of all ages are very excluded from him, when he walks in the village, people will hide away when they see him, and even when he walks towards the children playing in the field, the children will run away as if they have seen a monster......
This made his heart very uncomfortable......
In this way, he walked on the dusty road, and wherever he went, the crowds that had gathered together to talk and laugh would disperse......
The second clip is that he is in the home of his dreams, which is an extremely dilapidated grass house, even if it is said that it leaks rain in summer and wind in winter......
He was the only one in his house and an old lady who was sick in bed, dry and emaciated, lying on the bed with a dying breath and sometimes coughing weakly, to prove that she was still alive in the world, and that she was covered with only a two-layer cloth and no cotton......
He sat by the stove, looking at the empty big black pot, there was not a grain of rice in the rice jar, and he looked at it with tears in his eyes......
In the third episode, in the bitter cold wind, he carries a worn bamboo basket on his back and holds a rusty broken axe in his hand, looking for branches to cut on the snowy barren mountains......
At that time, he had only one thought in his heart, which was to chop more firewood so that he could survive this winter......
But the sky always does not fulfill people's wishes, and he only carries an axe around all the way, and finally can only return empty-handed......
When he returned to the dilapidated home with a bamboo basket on his back and a few useless dead branches, he would see the old lady lying peacefully on the bed, and in his dream he knew that the old lady must be dead......
He threw himself on the side of the bed and hissed and shouted: "Mother~~Mother~~"
He knew in his heart that the frail mother froze to death in bed because there was no firewood to keep warm......
In the fourth clip, he walks down the road covered with loess and snow with the rusty and broken axe, his heart full of anger, and his feet are full of corpses, which are the villagers who will turn away from him when they see him......
He took that broken axe, and cut it when he saw anyone!
He rushed to a house, and in the corner of the bed, curled up a young woman with a crying baby in her arms......
The woman trembled and clutched the baby, begging for mercy......
But there was no emotion or pity in his heart......
He walked step by step with his axe to the woman and the child......
He slashed with an axe! One time...... Double-click...... Three times ......
Finally...... The room was quiet......
In the corner of the bed lay a young woman, covered in blood, and in her arms was the body of her child, who was only two months old......
He walked on the road covered with loess, snow and blood, and in his hand was the rusty, blood-stained broken axe......
At his feet were corpses, the same villagers who would turn away from him when they saw him......
And his heart is very calm......
At this point in the story, the owner of the tavern lowered his eyes and whispered, "I don't know, during this time, I have such dreams almost every day......"
Xiong Lei looked around, and the ghosts around him, including the young, the old, and the woman holding the child......
Xiong Lei thought to himself: These ghosts can't be the villagers in the dream that the boss said, right? What is the relationship between these villagers and this boss? Could it be that the boss in the previous life killed someone? Are they now back for revenge?
Xiong Lei shook his head, thinking it shouldn't be? Even if that's the case, shouldn't it suddenly appear? After all, this tavern has been open for a while, even if the wronged creditor of the previous life came back to seek revenge, it shouldn't have been so long before he came back? Xiong Lei was very puzzled in his heart......
The boss said: "Every night, I either can't sleep, or I will have such a dream after falling asleep, and after waking up from the dream, I will keep my eyes open until dawn......
Xiong Lei looked at Wu Ke with an inquiring eye, Wu Ke shrugged his shoulders and shook his head a little helplessly......
