CHAPTER XVII

"Cover the children's eyes." The son of the old village chief screamed, and the adults only felt that their scalps were numb, and they hurriedly covered the dolls on the side.

Grandpa Tai was curious about what was going on, and peeked through the gap between his mother's fingers. At that glance, my grandfather's face turned pale with fright, and he only felt that his little heart was so frightened that he had to slow down half a beat.

"Let's go! Give me all back! At this time, the son of the village chief had become the pillar of a group of people, and at the sound of an order, the adults hurriedly rushed back with the children. The loach father went crazy, the monkey father lost his life, and the two women also passed out. The corpses of the loaches and the monkey had become hoodoos in the eyes of everyone, but they left the mouth of the gourd in a hurry with three adults who were still alive.

At this time, Grandpa Tai seemed to have lost three souls and seven spirits, and was allowed to be led by his mother, but once a pair of eyes closed the appearance of two corpses, he emerged.

The group hurried back to the village, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they found that something was wrong. The village, which is bustling with activity on weekdays, is deserted at this time, and the old and weak women and children who remain in the village do not know where they have gone. After what happened before, everyone's hearts were even tighter, and they shouted the names of their relatives loudly. The call was quickly answered, and everyone felt a little more at ease.

When I listened carefully, my relatives were hiding in the room, as if they were afraid of something. The son of the village hurriedly asked the villagers to ask what was going on, and when he asked, he realized that there were two more terrible corpses in the center of the village.

Corpse? Two horrific corpses?

The village chief's son only felt that his scalp was numb, and it seemed that his village had provoked something that he could not afford to provoke.

"What should I do?" Some villagers whispered, mixed with the sorrow of a family who did not dare to return.

"Return, I want to see what can happen to Lang Lang." The village chief's son has also begun to panic in his heart, so he can only pretend to be strong.

However, when the others saw that the village chief's son was so resolute, they had a little bottom in their hearts, and naturally walked towards the center of the village. From a distance, I saw the two corpses lying on the ground, and everyone's faces were instantly drained of blood. Because they recognized them at a glance, those two were loaches and monkeys. The reason for this is that the back of the loach and the leather monkey corpse has turned into white bones, half of the body and half of the body are covered with white bones, and I am afraid that anyone will not forget it after just looking at it.

"Mountain god, please take back the loaches and leather monkeys, we don't want them." The village chief's son had already regretted going to find the two babies at this time, and hurriedly knelt down and begged the mountain god to take the two babies back. All the villagers also felt deeply frightened at this time, and they also knelt down and pleaded bitterly.

As soon as the wails of the villagers ended, the sky was covered with black clouds, and the wind and rain would come in the next moment. Where had the villagers seen such a situation, they were so frightened that they couldn't even stand upright, and they spread out on the ground and cried loudly. A bolt of lightning struck the hill in the distance, causing the villagers to lie on the ground and cry and beg for help, all of them becoming a ball of headless flies.

"Quick, bury these two." At this time, the old village chief's voice slowly sounded.

The old village chief was carried back by the villagers, and he didn't know when he woke up, and after saying this, he fainted again. The man who was holding the old village chief chuckled in his heart, quickly touched the old village chief's pulse, and then cried out: "The village chief is gone." ”

"Daddy!" The village chief's son's voice had become hysterical, and the whole person was covered in a head, which was no longer much different from madness.

"Village Chief." Everyone regarded the old village chief as the backbone, and this time it was a fatal blow to the village.

"Do it, bury these two scourges!" The village chief's son was already red at this time, as if he was going to eat people, and word by word burst out from between his teeth.

The wind was already blowing stronger and stronger, and the sky was about to fall, so the villagers hurriedly moved their hands. Now, the bodies of these two babies have become hoodoos, and the last few brave people tied the two corpses with ropes and pulled them out to bury them. When the last touch of loess covered the two small corpses, the black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, leaving a brilliant rainbow.

The two babies died and were dragged to be buried, not even a straw mat was buried like this, and the rest was the most desolate wind blowing, but it could not blow away the bright seven colors in the sky.

But the matter did not end like this, this time it took the lives of the old village chief and the monkey father. The whole village regards the loach and the monkey family as a disaster, and they are bullied in addition to beating and scolding. The mother of the loach finally couldn't bear the gossip of others, and threw herself into the river with a few babies. The leather monkey and his mother also hanged herself, leaving behind three babies who could just walk. It's also sad to say that these three babies are going to be killed, two babies are hungry and become human beings, and one baby doesn't know when it was bitten by wild dogs. When it was found, the contents of the baby's belly had been eaten clean by wild dogs.

There's also a loach daddy who goes around picking up garbage to fill his stomach. Just a month after this incident, someone found a stinky loach father in a mill, and his whole head had been gnawed by rats.

The natural disaster killed two babies, but Renyan killed two families. The most ironic thing is that when the villagers saw that both families were dead, they thought that the matter was over, and even celebrated with artillery battles. The firecrackers crackled for a long time, but to my grandfather's ears, they sounded like the death knell, ringing the prelude to the death of the whole village.

This did not end the matter, and the village began to experience years of drought. Although there was a drought elsewhere, there was some harvest, but the village did not harvest anything.

By the fifth year, everything on the ground had miraculously grown seedlings, and everyone was ecstatic. But in the month before the heading, all the rice roots were rotten, and at that moment the village went crazy. Then it was discovered that the animals in the family began to rot from the inside to the outside, but the animals did not die until they rotted to the skin. After falling, the whole animal will be opened countless small openings, and countless maggots will crawl out of it.

In this way, the village ushered in a fatal blow, and all the villagers' savings have been exhausted in five years, and everyone began to do whatever it took to survive. The whole village was covered with a stench and a shadow, and every person who died would say one thing before they died, and that was: this is the price.

That's why Grandpa Tai would rather go into the mountains than go back to the purgatory on earth. However, the momentum before coming disappeared at the moment he saw the thick fog, and some only had nerve-stirring memories, so uncomfortable that my grandfather could only desperately bang his head against the tree.

Grandpa didn't know how long it had been hit, and there was already blood on his forehead, and he didn't have the courage to walk into the thick fog in the end. In despair, Grandpa turned to leave, facing the rotting flesh and corpses outside, but a trace of smell got into his nose. Grandpa smelled it, and gave birth to hope.
