"This story is mentioned in "Blue Lagoon Notes" and "Wind Pavilion Record" - oh, at that time, we had a county order to return to the hometown, calling himself a Blue Lagoon Resident, and wrote a book called Blue Lagoon Notes, which is not well-known, and people like me are still interested in flipping through it. The same is true of that Fengting Lu, which was written by an old man who called himself Mr. Fengting.

There are slight differences between the two books, but the overall context is the same. ”

Lu Qingliang and He Wei listened more seriously.

"At that time, there was a poor boy in our area. This kid is poor, he has no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, he steals chickens and dogs all day long, or goes to the mountains to find some medicinal herbs, hunt some prey and other things in exchange for money to make a living.

One day, the poor boy and a friend who was also a poor boy went hunting in the mountains together. But I didn't come back for four or five days.

In the mountains, it is common for hunters to go into the mountains to hunt and not come back for several days. Besides, these two are bastards, they don't have any popularity, and no one pays attention to them.

More than ten days have passed like this, and the two of them have not returned. The villagers all said that there might have been an accident, or they had fallen off a cliff, or they had been eaten by a wild animal.

Instead of grieving, the villagers felt glad that there was finally no scourge in the village.

But the good times did not last long, and after a few more days, the poor boy came back, but only with him.

According to him, the two of them encountered a beast in the mountains and got lost as they fled. While looking for the way, his companion accidentally fell into the cliff and died, and he was the only one who came back with a life.

This kind of thing was common in those days, and no one doubted it.

But after this incident, I don't know why, this poor boy suddenly became rich. His family built a big house, bought land, went to the county seat to buy fabrics, and recruited tenants, and became a landlord.

Some people wondered where his money came from, but the poor boy kept his mouth shut, saying only that he was lucky and had been rewarded by the county officials.

After a long time, there were rumors that this kid picked up money in the mountains. The companion who didn't come back was killed by him, and he swallowed the money himself. It is also said that they have found thousand-year-old ginseng, 10,000-year-old poria and the like, and everything is said.

In short, this kid is rich and has become a landlord.

But this kid is a good gambler. I used to gamble when I was a poor boy, but now that I have money, I gamble even more. It didn't take long for the house, the land, and all the things to lose. The family affair that had just been negotiated was also blown. This boy has become a poor boy again.

At that time, there was a fool in the village, who was stupid all day, and one day, this fool suddenly disappeared.

The family began to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Later, it was discovered that the poor boy had also disappeared.

At the time, people didn't think of these two things together.

Later, the poor boy returned. When I came back this time, I turned out to be rich again. The earth, the house, and the like are back. The villagers went to inquire, and the poor boy said that he had met a nobleman or something.

This time the villagers were a little skeptical. If you pick up money in the mountains and find some precious medicinal materials, this kind of thing, it is amazing to meet it once, how can it be two times in a row?

But I really couldn't find out anything, so the matter was slowly settled.

This time, the poor boy was honest, stopped gambling, built a house and land, begged his daughter-in-law, and lived an honest life.

is the daughter-in-law he begged, and her mouth is not strict. Once, when I was chatting with the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law in the village, I said that this poor boy slept one day, talked in his sleep, and shouted something like 'Grandpa the mountain god'.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Later, the villagers began to spread that this poor boy did not go into the mountains to pick up money or find any medicinal materials, but met the mountain god grandfather. His companions, who disappeared at the beginning, and the fools who disappeared later in the village, were all kidnapped by this kid and sacrificed to the mountain god grandfather in exchange for money, so that he had money. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qing's conscience shook again.

The change in the image of the local mountain god coincides with the age of the ancestor who lived as determined by genetic traceability.

In the story, it is rumored that the poor boy kidnapped people and sacrificed them to the mountain god in exchange for money, which caused the disappearance of the population.

Whereas......

Organization X is also using various magical means to continuously kidnap people with the Hag.1 gene.

Organization X, the sculpture in Sun Yong's secret room, the image highly overlaps with the image of the local mountain god.

Lu Qingliang and He Wei glanced at each other, and they both saw a touch of solemnity in each other's eyes.

At this moment, what Huang Weimin said is the time to rise. He took a piece of duck meat, nibbled on it in a few bites, spit out the bones, took another glass and drank it dry, savored it for a moment, and began to tell again.

He Wei hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and filled it for him.

"At that time, everyone in the village spread this, but no one had any evidence. The family of the missing fool also tried to trouble the kid, but in the end they couldn't find it.

And then it went away. Life goes by like that, this poor boy also has a child, is a boy, clever and cute, the Blue Lake notes say that the boy can memorize poems at the age of three, and can write at the age of five, becoming a famous prodigy in ten miles and eight towns. Mr. Fengting, an old man, also went to the school to take the exam, and he was full of praise when he came back.

The poor boy also has money in his family, and he has such a good child, so he is not desperately spoiled, and he also specially invited a teacher to teach the child the Four Books and Five Classics and other things, preparing to participate in the imperial examination, become a big official, and glorify the lintel.

In the blink of an eye, the child will be a teenager, and it is time to go to the children's examination - oh, the first pass of the imperial examination.

At that time, the child already had some fame, and even his teacher said that there was no problem in passing the children's exam.

But at this juncture, the child turned out to be sick.

The child had a big sore on his back, the size of a soybean at first, then the size of a date, and in five days, it grew to the size of a fist. The red, swollen, painful child cries all day long. It hurt for two days, and I also had a high fever, and people were burned and confused, and it didn't work.

With such a baby bump, this kid was ruthless, scattered all his family wealth, and even invited a famous doctor in the county to treat it. But no matter where the famous doctor came from, he only glanced at it, shook his head and left, saying that it was not cured, and let this kid prepare for the future for the child.

This kid begged a lot, begged the famous doctor to prescribe a prescription for temporary maintenance, took the medicine, and then said that he would go to ask the famous doctor in the house to come and treat him.

At this moment, the village where this kid was, and several surrounding villages, began to disappear again. The day after the kid left, a child in the nearby village was lost, and he couldn't find it. Three days later, a man in the prime of life drank wine at a relative's house, said goodbye to the master's house, went home to sleep, and disappeared.

The third person was a woman, who got up in the morning and went to the market, but never returned.

The serial disappearances are a source of panic.

Later, the kid finally came back, saying that he had asked a famous doctor for life-saving medicine.

Hey, that's weird. After taking this dose of medicine, the child's fever subsided, and after two doses of medicine, the child's big sores became small sores, and after three doses of medicine, the child got out of bed, could eat and drink, and his face was ruddy, and he was cured.

What's even stranger is that since the kid returned home, there have been no missing people in the surrounding villages.

So there is a legend that this kid kidnapped three people and sacrificed them to the mountain god, three people, three doses of medicine, and saved the child's life. ”

Lu Qingliang listened silently, and an idea in his mind couldn't help but appear.

If the "mountain god" in the story is the one worshipped by the X organization, and if the purpose of the X organization's kidnapping of the population is also the same as the poor boy in the story, it is to "sacrifice" to the mountain god in order to seek some kind of benefit, then ......

The three doses of medicine for the poor boy in the story may not be because he tied up three people. Rather, the last of the three has the Hag.1 gene.

The first two people did not possess this gene, and it was useless to sacrifice it to the mountain god.

In ancient times, there was no genetic testing technology, so poor boys could only try their luck by tying up more people.

Of course, Lu Qingliang knew that this was just a little idea and speculation of his own. There are still too many unknowns at this moment, and Huang Weimin's story has not been finished.

The three families who had disappeared refused to give up, and united to find the poor boy to ask for an explanation, and reported to the official. But there is no evidence for this kind of thing, maybe the money was collected, and the county government's statement was nonsense, and then it was over.

Later, it turned out that this kid was sick himself. In the Blue Lake notes, it is said that it is a headache, and in the Fengting Record, it is said that it is a fire sore, in short, it is not curable, and it hurts, and the person who hurts wants to die. This time, he said that he would go to the house to find a doctor to treat the disease.

This time, every household in the nearby ten miles and eight towns has been careful. It didn't matter if you were careful, and the next night, a thief was caught stealing a child in the village. I lit the torch and looked at it, hey, it's this poor boy who claimed to go to the house to seek medical advice!

Now it's terrible, all the previous things have been turned over, and even the county has sent people to arrest people. Those who were missing were even more excited, and they wanted to rush up and kill him. Fortunately, there were officials there, so they were not killed. But he couldn't take him away for the time being, so he could only ask the case in court.

This one is easy to fight, this kid can't bear it, so he can only make all moves.

He said that he did meet the mountain god in the mountain, and the mountain god wanted to eat people, and if he gave others to eat, he would give benefits. I made a fortune twice before, and I also treated my children, but I gave people to the mountain god to eat, and I begged for money and medicine. This time, I couldn't stand the illness anymore, and I wanted to send someone to the mountain god to eat and ask for some medicine to cure the disease. Unexpectedly, every household in ten miles and eight towns was more careful, and he was sick and unable to move, so he was arrested by mistake.

The officials continued to fight, and several bitter masters refused to give up, and continued to ask why they chose their own families. At this time, the boy confessed again, saying, the mountain god does not eat everyone, and those who have no hair and those who have little hair do not eat one. Even if you have a lot of hair, you are only willing to eat one in a few miles. ”

Lu Qingliang's eyes widened suddenly.

Head...... Hair?
