At this time, my heart was very confused, and I knew that if it was Tu Cun, we would definitely survive, but this was fundamentally contrary to my morality.

Finally, I rubbed my temples and said, "I decided that I would stay, and if you want to go, you can go." The others looked at each other, and Lotte sat down next to me with a smile and said, "Then I won't go." Everyone else nodded and sat down around me. You guys? I looked at them suspiciously.

Huang Ying smiled and said, "It proves that we have found a good captain, if you are really so easy to take people's lives, I am afraid that I will not know when you will be sold." My eyes suddenly turned red, and I turned my hand and took out a few rebirth ankhs and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you guys, even the captain dares to play tricks and look for death, be careful that I really sold you." ”

After that, I counted the ankhs in my hand and said: "It just so happens that I exchanged one before, Bai Ming gave me seven, I gave Huang Ying, one each for Goody and Cheng Hongsheng, and one for resurrecting Cheng Hongsheng, and now I have four more, and Goody and Cheng Hongsheng both have one, I don't want it, one for each of you." ”

The others didn't refuse, they all knew that I had more days to live, and they didn't excuse me, they all took the ankh and put it away carefully. I smiled and said, "Okay, let's wait for dawn." ”

And at this moment, an old figure slowly appeared in front of us, which startled us, this person's face was exactly the same as the one on the tombstone, it was Wu Hong, he looked at us as if he was facing a great enemy, waved his hand and smiled: "Young man, it is good to sacrifice yourself for others, but why don't you go to the village to have a look, go, go." After speaking, the figure gradually disappeared again.

Looking at the vanished figures, we glanced at each other, and then at the village down the hill. Lotte swallowed his saliva and said, "To go or not?" I turned my head to look at the photo of Wu Hong on the tombstone, I nodded and said, "Go, since you are all ready to die, why don't you go." With that, I led the way to the village down the hill.

The village is at the foot of the Tomb Hill and not too far, we were only a few minutes walk away. Walking into the entrance of the village, a dilapidated and desolate atmosphere came to my face. I knocked on the door of a faint candle. No, it didn't open.

I turned to another door and knocked again, but still no one opened. (What's going on?) I leaned over the window, and the window here was still the same as in ancient times, a lattice window, pasted with a piece of white rice paper. It's just that the rice paper pasted on the window is already in tatters. Through the window, I saw that there didn't seem to be anyone inside, only a kerosene lamp on the table.

Lotte and the others crowded over and asked, "What do you see?" I shook my head and continued to stretch my neck to look inside.

And at this moment, a voice that was even older than Wu Hong suddenly came from behind us: "What are you doing?" I was so frightened that I hurriedly turned to see an old lady, she was very old, her face was crawling with furrows, her skin had lost its moisture, and it was like a dry straw sticking to her bones, she was bent over, holding a kerosene lamp in her hand, looking at us suspiciously.

I smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, that's right, old woman, we are passing by here, and we want to ask for a drink from a family and ask for directions." The old man didn't have much suspicion, and soon believed us, and she turned to the side and said, "You young people, there is no one in the village anymore, only I am an old woman, I want to drink water, come with me." "Luckily, I put away Yellow Shadow's gun before I went down the mountain, and I think the old woman must have thought we were lost explorers.

Following the old man, we came to a low house at the end of the village, the old man pushed the door in, poured a bowl of water for one of us, and said, "Mother-in-law, I am too old to carry water, only this water, you drink it slowly." Looking at the clear mountain spring in the bowl, I can't help but think of the time when I lived in the mountains with my father when I was a child, I picked up the bowl, I drank the water in the bowl in one gulp, suddenly, a cool from the throat to the body, carefully smacked my mouth, there seemed to be a trace of sweetness, I put down the bowl, and said from the heart: "It's delicious." ”

When the old man saw my performance, he smiled and said, "You young people, you are thirsty, do you want your mother-in-law to give you another bowl?" I shook my head and hurriedly said, "No need mother-in-law. "When the old man saw that I didn't seem to be thirsty, he sat down next to us.

I looked around, and the room was very simple, except for a small water tank and stove, a table and a cupboard. There was a door next to the cupboard that was blocked by a curtain, and I thought this was the old man's room. I looked at the kerosene lamp on the table and asked, "Mother-in-law, where are all the people in this village, it seems that you are the only one left?" ”

The old man stood up, picked the wick of the kerosene lamp, sighed, and said, "All are dead." Lotte and I looked at each other, and I continued to ask, "How is it possible to be dead?" ”

The old man looked at the light on the table and seemed to fall into memory: "It was the spring of 1967, a young man in our village who was outside went home for the New Year, who knew ・・・・・・" Speaking of this, the old man's cloudy eyes actually shed two lines of tears, we did not interrupt the old man's words, the old man continued: "A few days after the young man came back, he began to itch all over, and the doctor in the village showed him, and he couldn't see any fame, and the young man's family had nothing to do, so they had to pick some herbs in the mountains to heal him, But the young man soon died, and when he died, his whole body was rotten, and only bones remained, and this matter was originally passed after the young man's death, but later, all the people who came into contact with the young man began to itch all over their bodies. ”

I nodded, this young man should have contracted a very terrifying infectious disease outside. I sat down beside the old man, patted her gently on the back and helped her sort out her somewhat disordered breathing, and the old man continued: "In this way, the people of the village began to be afraid, but there was still no way. More and more people started to itch on their bodies, until one day, my old man locked himself in his room, and I knew that he was also starting to itch. But I was not afraid, I knocked on the old man's door, took his hand and said, 'We are going to die, we are going to die together.'" The old man didn't speak, just shook his head vigorously, and at last he told me that the people in the village were almost dead, and if I could, I would bury them all. ”

Lotte and I looked at each other and seemed to understand the real way to live. I hurriedly asked, "Did you bury them all?" The old man shook his head and continued: "I was already old at that time, and I carried the old man to the mountain with great difficulty. But I used a lot of strength to get the old man who was originally thin, and I really couldn't help the others, so I let them lie at home all the time. ”

I asked curiously, "What about other people's lights?" The old man looked at me and continued: "I ordered it, the whole village died, but I didn't seem to have anything to do, I thought, this is God's punishment, God thinks that I didn't bury the others, so let me live, keep their spirits, I will go from house to house every night to light a lamp, help them light the way to Huangquan." ”

My throat was a little choked, this year is already 2013 This old man, because of his wife's words, he has insisted on it for more than 40 years, I said: "Mother-in-law, otherwise, let's help you bury them." Hearing me say this, the old man got up from the stool excitedly, held my hand and said, "Really? I've asked other passers-by before, but they refused, and I never asked anyone again. ”

I nodded and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely bury them all." After saying that, I stood up and prepared to go out, but the old man hurriedly said, "It's so dark, let's talk about it tomorrow." I shook my head, I can't say that tomorrow we will die, I smiled, "Mother-in-law, we have to leave tomorrow, let's help you do it tonight." The old man also seemed very excited, and walked out with us with a kerosene lamp in his hand.

The old man opened the door one by one, and then carefully wrapped the bones in cloth before handing them to us. I asked Goody to keep carrying the bones up the mountain, and sure enough, as I thought, as long as I put the bones on the grave bag, the bones will slowly sink on their own, and the tombstone will show the name and photo of the person. Cheng Hongsheng was left on the mountain by me, and he kept sketching up photos one after another. The others stayed in the village and helped the mother-in-law wrap up the bones. Luckily, the bones didn't look like corpses, and Goody was able to take a dozen of them back and forth, and soon, the bones of the entire village were taken up the mountain.

Looking at the graves in the mountains, I couldn't help but sigh, it was for these that an old man had been waiting for 46 years. I looked at Cheng Hongsheng's painting and said, "How's it going?" Cheng Hongsheng shook his head and said, "There are only 299 pairs." I asked suspiciously, "How is it possible, you painted the yellow shadow?" Cheng Hongsheng shook his head: "I didn't look comfortable with the yellow shadow, so I covered his tombstone with another corpse." And at this moment, the old man actually stumbled towards us under the traction of Shujing. I hurriedly greeted me and said, "Mother-in-law, why are you here?" ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mother-in-law is happy, now that I think about it, my mother-in-law hasn't seen the old man for several years, and my mother-in-law can't come up alone, it's rare to meet you kind-hearted people, so my mother-in-law asked this girl to help me come up and have a look." With that, the old man walked to a tombstone with Shujing's support, knelt down carefully and said, "Old man, I did it, you should be at ease." "I looked at the tombstone, and it was a picture of Wu Hong on the tombstone.

The old man knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't get up, I patted Shujing and motioned her to help her mother-in-law up, Shujing carefully went over and touched the old man's arm, the old man still didn't move, Shujing looked at the old man carefully, and suddenly turned her head and cried. Goody walked over, looked at the old man, and said, "Brother, mother-in-law, she has passed away." ”

"Qiu Saizhen, died in the summer of 2013, at the age of 109." I looked at Cheng Hongsheng's last painting, touched the old man's tombstone, and said, "Mother-in-law, you go all the way." ”

Lotte walked over and said, "Thank you, Captain." I shook my head and said, "Thank me for what?" Lotte looked at her mother-in-law's tombstone and said, "I think, if we have bad intentions for the village below, I'm afraid we will be killed by Wu Hong's ghost before we go down the mountain, this is really a game that tests people's hearts." I smiled and didn't speak.

It was soon dawn, and the voice of the organizer came from afar: "The mission is complete, and all survivors will get 2 days of survival." ”

Just as I was about to be teleported back to the hall, I saw two old men sitting next to each other on the top of the hill in the distance, whispering something in a whisper.
