Chapter 19: The Grief of the Village
He Min'er looked at Wen Xiao Huoyue, her eyes were shocked and disbelieving, "What he said is false, right?" ”
Wen Xiao glanced at He Min'er's eyes, he knew that this kind of thing was not much different from the Arabian Nights, and there was no basis for it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wen Xiao leaned on his lap with his hands and leaned forward, his eyes were scrutinizing and observing.
Observing this ghostly person of unknown origin, "The story is very beautiful, but what does it have to do with the current coffin forest?" Also, the story you are telling doesn't seem to have any basis, it's just your family's words. ”
The man lowered his head, rubbing a small pebble in his hand, the hollowness in his eyes was as good as ever, and his voice was filled with infinite sadness, "After Sima Hezheng died, the village finally returned to its former tranquility and order, and no one was worried that the family would suddenly be robbed and beaten again one day. However, the good times were short-lived after all, and twenty years later, the catastrophe of the village began. ”
Catastrophe? What counts as a catastrophe?
Wen Xiao heard these two words, and his mind remembered the war many years ago, the sun and moon were dark, and the world was full of flames, and she died in the tragic song of blood and fire.
That's the Holocaust!
Of course, the man didn't know that Wen Xiao's thoughts had drifted away, "One day, the men in the village began to pay attention to dressing up, more than women, they began to prefer red and white, and one day a man put on white clothes and red hats, so all the men in the village began to wear white clothes and red hats. These men were no longer diligent in their work, no longer ploughing the fields and planting seedlings, and began to stay at home, when the relationship between husband and wife in every household changed dramatically, and they began to quarrel, and the women could not stand the idleness of the men, and they wasted their time, and they scolded their husbands. Another day, the men of the village began to travel in the middle of the night, gathered in the clearing, looked up at the moon, and did not disperse until dawn. The strange behavior of the men finally caused the women to panic, and they began to lock their yards, and put the door in the deadbolt every night, but the men were like ghosts, all the locks could not close them, the women could not stop them, they tried, but the men seemed to have ten times more strength and could easily push them away. But what really made the women panic was that their sons actually began to wear white clothes and red hats, and the women destroyed all the white clothes and red hats in the village, but at night, the men actually appeared in white clothes and red hats again, and they watched that the clothes and hats seemed to grow out of the man's flesh, and they took off one and grew another. ”
The man looked at his clothes and sighed, helpless.
All three of them were fascinated by it, this kind of thing was simply unheard of, and if it was really just a story, it must be a fascinating story.
Seeing that the three of them were fascinated, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of the three of them.
He continued, "The women live every day in a panic and sleep at night with their eyes closed, knowing that the men are up again and behaving strangely. They wanted to escape from the village, but the heavens seemed to cut it off, and every time they walked out of the village, they were amazed to find that no matter how they went, they could not get out of the village. They were in utter despair, living in fear every day, the fields were becoming barren and the population was becoming scarce, and many women began to commit suicide. ”
He Min'er can't listen to it anymore, ridiculous! It's ridiculous, how could there be such a thing.
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, if it's really like you say, what about those men?"
But after saying that, she regretted it. Men, naturally, are in coffins.
The man looked up at her, "The men started picking up axes and cutting down trees one day, and the women thought they were back to normal, but the joy was soon shattered by the merciless reality, and the men cut down trees not for firewood, but for carpentry and coffins!" ”
Yes? He Min'er exclaimed, this is really the case.
"They were like well-trained soldiers at this time, and the men cooperated with each other to carry the coffin up the hill and place it in the clearing, and one night, they looked at the bright moon and lay down in it collectively."
Wen Xiao was now full of doubts about this story, but he didn't say it, but continued to listen to the man's words, "Then why are you here?" ”
"One day, outsiders finally came to the village, all men, they came to this village, they were very enthusiastic, they did not dislike the women here, in fact there is no difference between women and widows, men and women live together, and pass on the lineage. However, the cycle began, and the men one day repeated the actions of the previous men, burning the coffins of the previous men, and putting new coffins on them, and the village carried the cycle on its back, and every once in a while men would come from outside, and when they came, they couldn't go out and didn't want to go out, as if to complete the mission, and most of the children born to women were men. ”
Wen Xiao stared at him, trying to find out the slightest abnormality in his lying, "You still haven't told me, why are you here?" ”
The man looked at Wen Xiao directly, not afraid of the suspicion in Wen Xiao's eyes, not afraid of his eagle vision, "Because one day, I woke up!" ”
What the? That's the answer? The trio were again shocked.
"One day, I woke up, and I saw that my coffin had been opened, and that there was a man in a suit wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and all the memories that came to me at that moment surfaced all my actions, and I couldn't believe that I had done such a thing, let alone that I was lying in a coffin. I asked the man what the hell was going on. I remember saying something I will never forget. ”
The curiosity of the three of them was aroused by him, "What words?" The three of them spoke almost at the same time, all of them extremely curious.
The man looked at the top of the cave, and there was only a craggy stone wall, "He said, 'The people of the Sima family have really returned. ’”
Don't? Very Min'er blurted out, "Could it be the second uncle?" ”
The man immediately lowered his head quickly and stared at He Min'er, He Min'er was very uncomfortable by her gaze, like five small worms crawling on his body, he shook his shoulder, "Could it be the second uncle?" But he didn't say it to that person, but to Wen Xiao and Huoyue.
Later," the man continued, "he saw that I was about to leave when I woke up, and I immediately asked him who he was." Where are you going? He said that he was going to Sima's house. ”
Wen Xiao stood up and walked around in front of him, just wanting to see a prisoner who had stolen something, "Then why don't you go home?" ”
The man looked at him, his eyes no longer empty, but with a little tear, "I can't go back!" Can't go back! I walked to the door and saw them walking by, and I wanted to go over and hug them, but I saw them like that, and saw them passing through my body, as if I was a breath of air, and no matter how much I shook in front of their eyes, they just couldn't see me. When the man said this, he choked up, tears rushed out of his eyes, and his skinny face was full of tears.
What kind of grief it should be when you are by your relatives' side, but your relatives can't see you.
Wen Xiao and the three of them were stunned, how could this be the case, the two women saw the man crying bitterly, and their hearts were moved, they were already unfortunate, and finally there was hope, but what was waiting for him was despair.
