Some memories are always painful, you want to escape, but you can't forget, this kind of memory is probably a thorn in the human soul.

That crazy night of sacrifice was probably a thorn in Uncle Weijun's soul, but for many people in the town, it was the first miracle!

"I think you saw that too, right? The illusory ship, hearing the joy that actually makes people panic, right? That night was the first time those things appeared" Speaking of this memory, Uncle Wei's expression became very painful, and my emotions followed his pain, as if I saw the picture of that night.

In the crowd of kneeling down, the illusory big boat appeared, and Wei Donglai, with a cruel smile, personally sent his three young children onto the mysterious boat.

On the shore, he was the first to be sacrificed, his body still hanging alone on the high platform, his chest cavity was cut open from the lower abdomen, the internal organs were in front of him, and the blood was still dripping as it was still completely cooled

In Uncle Wei's account, it was a stubborn man, he always firmly believed that Wei Donglai used some way to make all these seemingly 'miracle' things, and after revealing the reason, it would be a sad deception, and he was actually tied to the altar by his younger brother and the most familiar neighbors.

The worst side of human nature erupts at some point, and it is an absolutely unbearable tragedy.

"After that sacrifice, someone finally came to his senses. Maybe it was because I was afraid that such a fate would fall on me, or maybe I was afraid that such a fate would fall on my relatives, or maybe it was just a bloody scene that stimulated their conscience, and I still remember that night, there was such a conversation, and I can never forget it. Uncle Wei Jun continued.

It was a conversation when Wei Donglai led his children on the boat, the eldest of whom was a 9-year-old daughter and said to her father: "Dad, I'm afraid, can I not get on that boat?" ”

“”

"Dad, after getting on that boat, will you never come back?"

"What are you going to do when you come back? Daddy is sending you to a good place. ”

"Dad, but will I never see grandma and mom again?" At this time, Wei Donglai's eldest daughter had already begun to cry.

But Wei Donglai held his child's hand tightly, and hinted that the other two people holding his child's hand quickened their pace together, and silently 'dragged' the child to the boat, yes, it was already dragged, the children refused to go, starting with the eldest daughter began to cry, they called out for their relatives, familiar uncles and aunts, neighbors, but no one stood up

Liu Weijun wanted to stand up at that time, but unfortunately he was afraid, he was afraid that if he destroyed this sacrifice, he would be 'drowned' by the angry people around him, and he didn't have the courage to stand up.

"No one is a saint, and everyone has to face their cowardice painfully, just to follow the crowd. In a flowing water in the wrong direction, those who can stand up are real heroes, and if they can still insist on themselves, then they can be saints, but most people can only pretend to follow the tide before sadly finding that they are just an ordinary person, and I found out for the first time that I was an ordinary person. Uncle Wei Jun said mockingly.

"But you're a hero now, with a group of people who are always holding on." I looked at Uncle Wei Jun and said seriously.

"Now? It's not that I'm a hero, it's that when my dad came back, I understood that if I were his son, I would have to take some responsibility, you know? Uncle Wei Jun told me seriously.

"Second Master Liu is really back?" I glanced at Uncle Wei Jun in surprise, I thought that Second Master Liu had been gone forever since that time.

"Well, he's back." Uncle Wei Jun said lightly.

After that night passed, the town changed completely, Wei Donglai became the real master of the town, and the people in the town were numb to such things as killing people, wasn't that a sacrifice to the gods? Including the town's government, the people in various agencies are so inexplicably tempted, completely subverting the town.

Liu Weijun had insomnia that night, that was with his mother, staying in an empty room, completely insomnia.

The screams of the slain man, the stimulation of the bloody disembowelment, made his whole person in a trance, not to mention sleeping, he didn't even dare to close his eyes, because as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see a piece of blood, and he was also pushed by the crowd and sent to the altar

He never forgot that at the end of the sacrifice, Wei Donglai's gaze seemed to fall on him, viciously, and grinned, that discovery made his whole body tremble when he thought about it.

He didn't sleep that night, and Liu Weijun couldn't close his eyes during the day the next day, even though the whole town was unusually quiet

Because the appearance of Wei Donglai has completely changed the whole town, the people no longer live and work diligently, but have become nervous and idle, and they really can't seem to find anything to do except the daily worship of the gods they want to worship.

"With a long life, can't everything be prevaricated infinitely? Or maybe so! The town you see today, where people are not producing, but still alive, because there is inexplicable money to feed them, I think it is like raising cattle in captivity, but it makes the people here believe in the so-called gods even more. "Uncle Wei Jun explained to me.

"Inexplicable money?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

"Yes, in addition to taking people away, that messenger will occasionally appear and send a large amount of money, and these money are taken care of by special people, these people are the real 'high-level' of the town, and the people of the town are supported by this kind of money, and they go to eat regularly every day, and after each sacrifice, they can eat and drink at will, and even receive a certain amount of money for entertainment. That's why you have the night of the carnival you see. "Uncle Wei Jun's tone is very flat, but it sounds like a fantasy to me.

What kind of existence is behind this? There's even money to 'captive' people from a town? The puzzle is getting deeper and deeper, I need answers, and will the return of Second Master Liu bring answers? I continued to listen to Uncle Weijun.

A dark night and a day of insomnia made Liu Weijun's spirit at that time out of a state of complete collapse, and the extreme panic tormented him at any time, so much so that he forgot that today should be the day when his father and Uncle Lin returned.

Because I had forgotten, I didn't have any hope, but in the middle of the night, I heard the movement from the courtyard in the midst of continuous insomnia.

"Who?" Almost at the same time, he and his mother heard movement outside the yard and shouted.

"It's me." Second Master Liu's voice reached Liu Weijun's ears, full of exhaustion and depression.

However, even such a voice made Liu Weijun's heart feel inexplicably peaceful, he rushed out of the house at once, and saw the person standing in the courtyard, who was not his father?

"Dad" Liu Weijun shouted excitedly and was about to walk over.

But he didn't want Liu Erye to take a step back inexplicably, and said bitterly to Liu Weijun and his wife who rushed out: "Don't come close to me." ”

Liu Weijun's mother turned on the lights in the courtyard at this time, and saw the dust of Liu Erye standing in the courtyard, as if he was rolling in the tidal flats of the Yellow River, his eyebrows were full of exhaustion and sadness, so he kept a certain distance from them, stood far away, and looked at them.

"Why can't I get close to you?" Liu Weijun asked puzzled, because of insomnia for a day and a night, his temper was not very good, and his words were full of some anger.

As if to vent this anger, he took two steps forward, and he had to do it against Liu Erye.

He is so helpless these days, and finally his father came back, but he was inexplicably not allowed to get close, what is the reason?

But unsurprisingly, Liu Erye took two steps back, and then said to Liu Weijun in a more painful voice: "Will I harm you?" If you don't come closer, you don't come close! If you still want to talk to me, you really don't want to come near me. ”

Second Master Liu was so painful and helpless, this emotion didn't even need to be explained, it could already be felt from his tone.

After all, it was a father-son heart-to-heart, Liu Weijun's heart ached, he finally stopped, just with tears in his eyes, looking at his father a little stupidly, behind him, his mother began to cry inexplicably, the voice was very small at first, and then it turned into a big cry, but in order not to let the neighbors hear, his mother blocked her mouth with her sleeve, just suppressed crying, so that the courtyard was filled with a sad atmosphere.

"Weijun, the town depends on you, all the people in this town have been 'poisoned', and there is no way for anyone to escape, but you have to guard this town, you know? Defend it as the last line of defense, otherwise this 'poison' will spread and destroy many people, and then not only our town will have to face such a fate, but many places will be the same! Here, it cannot become a hell on earth. Looking at his son, Second Master Liu said such a paragraph word by word.

However, Liu Weijun couldn't understand at all, what did he mean by this?

"There is a letter, this is my explanation to you, you can read it carefully word by word." While speaking, Liu Erye put a letter on the ground.

Liu Weijun was sad and sad, where was he still in the mood to read the letter, but Liu Erye actually left without looking back after putting the letter on the ground.

"Dad" Liu Weijun chased two steps, but heard his mother cry loudly all of a sudden.

"Mom, if you don't chase Dad, why are you crying?"

"Silly son, don't you see? Your dad is dead, and it's his soul that came back just now! ”

"What?"

"When I turned on the light, I saw that there was no shadow of your father!"
