3. God is long dead
Walking forward, Liu Fan came to the door of a house. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is anyone home, please? I'm passing by here and want to take a break, I don't know if it's convenient? ”
Liu Fan's voice was very gentle, for fear of making these villagers think that he had come with malice. But the door knocked for a long time, there was no response, and it was lifeless.
Liu Fan glanced at the jade-faced fox, as if he was seeking some information, but the jade-faced fox was hanging up with a posture that had nothing to do with himself, which made Liu Fan annoyed for a while.
"Don't look at me, I'm not a fairy, and I can't help it if people don't want to open the door! I said that if you want to give up, you don't believe it, and it's really urgent to quit now! ”
What the jade-faced fox said was very pertinent, but Liu Fan didn't say anything, and was about to turn around and walk to the next one to ask again.
"Squeak!"
The door opened quietly, and the person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, but immediately felt like an old man in his sixties.
The skin was wrinkled and dry, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a symptom of malnutrition and lack of moisture, and the pupils of both eyes were very numb, so I didn't know what I was thinking. just looked at Liu Fan, looking a little curious.
"Hello! I'm a foreigner, and I'm here. Liu Fan politely explained his intentions, wanting to please some visitors.
"Oh! O out-of-towners! We don't necessarily have a few outsiders here in a year, but it's very new! ”
The person who came spoke, lukewarm, at least knowing that Liu Fan had no hostility after coming, which made Liu Fan feel that the development of things seemed to be less difficult.
After that, there was no surprise, after a few words of conversation, Liu Fan and the jade-faced fox finally entered this room, although this traditional wooden house is not big, but it is very clean, but Liu Fan always feels that there is a lot of things missing.
"Sorry, guest, we lack everything here. Food and water are very scarce, and it is impossible to find water and grow crops here. ”
The owner of the house is very direct and says what is lacking here, so as not to make the guests mistakenly think that he is stingy and is reluctant to take good things out to entertain.
However, Liu Fan didn't care, and just asked curiously: "Well, it's okay, I inquired before I came, I'm just curious about how you can live here for so many years." Why not move somewhere else sooner? ”
"Heh......" the owner of the house smiled, looking particularly desolate and helpless.
"Guest, do you think we don't want to? But who else is alive with the people who moved out of here? It's fate, do you believe it? People born here can only suffer here for the rest of their lives, and I have long been used to it. ”
Liu Fan got very crucial information, which was not mentioned by the jade-faced fox before.
In fact, Liu Fan was secretly frightened, not only the land and plants here have been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, but even the people here are no exception!
No one born here can escape from here! This made Liu Fan very confused for the first time. What is the reason for all this? Could it be that Heavenly Dao is really so ruthless, how long will it torture these people?
Immediately, Liu Fan thought of a very critical question and asked, "Will people from other villages come to you for anything?" How do you solve the problem of food and water supply? ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the owner replied, "Naturally, the local lamas and those well-meaning people helped us, and from time to time they would bring us water and food, so that we would not all starve to death." ”
Liu Fan sighed, thinking about taking 10,000 steps back and saying that this should be regarded as a trace of mercy from the Heavenly Dao, right? At least not so much that they all die of famine.
"I want to know more specifically, you said that the people who escaped from your village are dead, so do you know how they died?" Liu Fan didn't let go of any clues, and he had a premonition in his heart that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
The owner of the house pondered for a moment, and seemed a little hesitant in the face of Liu Fan's question. There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and the whole person looked very uneasy.
Liu Fan immediately gave him a meditation talisman to calm him down, maybe this matter was very scary, otherwise the owner of the house would not have that kind of frightened expression.
For a moment, the owner of the house became the same as before, thinking about what happened in his memory, and then slowly said to Liu Fan.
"Almost twenty years ago, right? It's a bit vague, and I was still very young at that time. Maybe only young people have that kind of courage and perseverance, right? The owner of the house was hesitant and a little reluctant to mention it, but perhaps he had a glimmer of hope for Liu Fan, so he continued.
"At that time, we were all very young, and we were not willing to live this kind of inhuman life, so we thought of escaping from here, but ......"
The owner of the house became a little excited again, the memory of that year may have really caused him a lot of mental trauma, imagine what it must be like for a middle-aged man in his 40s to become like this.
"It's okay, you say, I might be able to help you out." Liu Fan comforted softly, and the owner of the house calmed down again.
"There's nothing to say anyway, the two guys I was trying to escape from here are dead. They walked out of the area first, and then their whole bodies turned purple and red, and their expressions were hideous, and they instantly turned into a blood mist. I'll never forget their desperate expressions! After the owner of the house finished speaking, he seemed to be a little better.
Liu Fan imagined that kind of picture, which was indeed a little unacceptable. At least more than 20 years have passed, and the middle-aged owner of the house can't let go, after all, he is a mortal, and being able to survive until now proves that he is very good.
"That's it! It's really hard for you, I still want to ask you one last question, I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer? Liu Fan asked solemnly.
"Ask! It's more enjoyable to say it than to hold it in your heart until it's buried in the ground! ”
"Good! Do you have any sacrificial gods or anything like that? Or do you not believe that God will come and save you? ”
The owner of the house smiled, looking very helpless, and there was more of a powerlessness and despair in the bitter smile.
"God is dead! If there were a God, we wouldn't have to suffer this curse from generation to generation! How can there be such a thing as a god? Forget it, guest, you should get out of here early, seeing that you are a young man, there should be more things to do. ”
Liu Fan shook his head, smiled weirdly, and glanced at the lazy jade-faced fox on his shoulder, and he had already made a plan in his heart, maybe he could really solve the root problem of this dry land, which had plagued many people for more than a thousand years. (To be continued)
