Chapter 51: Messenger
I guess the bartender also saw that I was about to be 'squeezed' by him, so I didn't have the same enthusiasm as before, and there was no new news to reveal to me, and if I wanted to know anything more about this village, I was afraid I would have to take out that point paper.
I didn't think I wanted to know anything else, but in fact, after thinking about it, I found that there were so many things I wanted to know, such as how many areas are there in this outer village? Because the daily dining hall is divided into time slots, every 5,000 people can only occupy an hour and a half, so the cycle comes.
The first three days I was lucky enough to see all my friends among so many people, but then I found out that the time to eat is to come every day according to the general time of 'flowing water', about three or four days of reincarnation, every time I can't see all my partners, I know that this village is much bigger than I imagined.
After all, this is a continuous loess mountain range, almost a no-man's land, and hiding tens of thousands of people in this vast mountain is not as difficult as imagined.
However, due to the uncertainty of time, I could not calculate how many people there were in this village, so how many areas there were were that I was desperate to know, and only then could I determine the location of my friends.
Also, where is the Uchimura?
What is the hierarchy in the village? Who are the people in the inner village? Are they all cultivators? Or is it a Taoist priest? Is there a force behind the village that is supporting it? If so, what kind of forces? Where is the sacrifice? Is God's area the inner village? If not
The more I thought about it, the more questions I asked, and then I didn't dare to think about it anymore, because many of them were probably not questions that this little bartender could answer.
While drinking, I felt the thing in my hand, it was a pill-like thing, and I touched it, it was like a wax pill, and I naturally and casually covered it up, and put this ball in my pocket.
And the bartender didn't notice me much at all, so how could he find out about my secret little movements?
My curiosity had been completely aroused by the adult, in fact, I didn't want to stay in this noisy tavern, but in order to show that I was a newcomer, I still pretended to be very cherished and drank all the wine I bought, for some considerations, I also pretended to be very bold and asked the bartender to drink two bottles, he didn't show much gratitude, but I didn't care, I just wanted to bury myself a little foreshadowing in this dangerous and mysterious place
Finally after all the drinks were drunk, I pretended to be half drunk and walked out of the so-called recreation room with some light steps.
Beyond the gate, there was the silent village, and everything in the recreation room was like a world cut off from the village, and there were a few patrolling village officials, looking at me intentionally or unintentionally, and I didn't care about humming a song, and walked towards my cave with a happy look.
The difference is that today I saw a large flat area over there, led by a group of children with a couple of women standing there, and then in front of these children stood a man, who was also a village worker, but I was a little familiar with him, and that set of strange movements to strengthen the body was what he taught, those children
Due to the distance, I can't see whether there are any children in the town inside, but when I come to this place, I understand how much this village keeps letting the town sacrifice children, and how loyal and pious the children who have been raised in this way since they were raised in this way should be, there is no need to imagine that many children are originally a blank sheet of paper, and they are easier to be rendered than adults! Therefore, they are more valued!
And such a thing has been happening since 195, assuming that they live in the holy village and have offspring, so many generations of me suddenly have a body of fine hair sweat, what is the difference between this feedlot? There was an endless stream of sacrifices, all of them brainless and faithful
At the same time, I began to feel sad!
Maybe they saw that I noticed the situation of the children over there, these village officials were not happy, and the village officials said that I was a dishonest ant, and they must have communicated with each other, so they paid special attention to me a little and it seemed that I was snooping, so they wanted to drive me away.
I pretended to be drunk and spit on the ground, very naturally, my eyes turned my head without focus, and then I didn't care, staggered away, a drunk's thinking ability and reaction ability are so slow, they shouldn't care about me, right?
Seeing that I walked away, these village officials did not pay special attention to me, so I walked all the way back to my cave, but no one asked, until I entered the cave and closed the door, I was able to completely relax, and finally did not make that appearance again.
With a long breath, I quickly scooped a scoop of water from the vat that had been set aside, then washed my face, poured my head, and drove away the rest of the wine, so that I could be completely calm and sober, in this village, all I need is to be vigilant at all times.
Thankfully, though, there isn't any surveillance in this house, or in such a remote place, it's a huge undertaking to install surveillance in a cave, it's not realistic, or they don't worry about what we know, as long as they don't escape, it doesn't matter, so
I didn't think too much about it, after all, coming here, just from the topography, escaping is an almost impossible project, the only entrance to the sky and the surrounding green continuous slopes, there is almost no vegetation on it, it is more difficult than I used to climb the cliff to escape from the encirclement.
After thinking about it for a while, I took out the ball-like thing from my pocket, I felt it like a wax pill before, but I didn't expect it to be a wax pill.
I raised it up and looked at it, and at a glance, I saw that there was a rolled-up note hidden in this wax pill, or I was afraid that a note would not be easy to pass and not easy to attract my attention, so I deliberately sealed it with wax.
I guessed the mind of this mysterious man, and then without hesitation, I pinched open the wax pill and took out the rolled up note, almost eagerly unfolding.
The handwriting on it is very unfamiliar to me, it is a row of pen handwriting, every stroke has a clear eye, it seems that the owner of this handwriting is a very self-controlled, very self-planning person, and the content is three days later, see you in front of the house under the moon.
Not? I frowned, although it was only a simple sentence, I had already made the purpose time and place clear, that adult wants to see me? Still in such a stealthy way? But isn't it too flamboyant to see in front of the house?
I burned the note with a lighter, wiped the remaining ashes, and until there was no trace left, I stood up and lit a cigarette.
Come to this village, in the face of powerful forces, we don't have anything to rely on, and we can't be singles anymore, so it doesn't matter if there is another mysterious person or something who wants to see me, then let's see it. It's just that, inevitably, I will still guess the character of the owner through the handwriting, and then slowly recall who I know who would be such a character?
Xiao Chengqian? This was the person I suspected the most, but was he? I smiled bitterly, Young Master Xiao is actually a person who is not very strategic, and his personality is completely contrary to his handsome and somewhat feminine face, and he is a bandit at all
Because of the alcohol, I was so dazed that I thought far away, I don't know when, so I fell asleep on the kang in the cave, and in the free time of the afternoon, no one cared if I was sleeping or nervous
This night, I slept until dinnertime, I was woken up by the village officials who came in to investigate the situation, everything here must not violate the rules, even if you don't want to eat, you must go to the canteen according to the time.
I didn't care about going against these little rules, I just went with the village affairs.
After dinner, there was the so-called worship, exercising inexplicable chores, after the end, I went back to my cave, habitually marked a secret place, recorded that I had passed another dull day, but I didn't want to be at this time, the insects that had been lying on my arm moved violently.
My hand that was holding a yellow stone stopped, and it seems that today is not such a peaceful day
