Chapter 448: The Biggest Living Sacrifice
"Did they succeed then?"
"It's worked," Yasumoto smiled.
He still remembers that it was a fairly good day, and it rained all day.
At that time, most of the people in the village were infected with the epidemic and were very weak and had to stay at home.
Originally, there were two doctors in the village, him and Master, but this epidemic came from the gods, so where could they cure it?
His master was imprisoned for his insanity due to too much contact with the gods, and he could only use things like violet grass to make placebos to treat the villagers.
On that day, he went out to pick Narugua and happened to meet a group of shogunate troops.
They were small in number, just a small team, and according to them, they were ordered by the head of the family, Kujo Takayuki, to supervise the situation on the island.
Because of the rebellion, the front line troops of the shogunate army had a severe fear of war, and if it were not for this, the situation here would not have attracted the attention of this great man who was far away in Narukami Island.
This team has been on the island for a while, and it was fine for the first few days, but as the exploration deepened, they began to have headaches, and some team members began to cough up blood, had nightmares every night, and even had a rash on their skin, and a tingling and damp sensation in their chest.
This was a precursor to an epidemic, and many people in the village could not afford to get sick because of the symptoms they had present.
At that time, he naively thought that since the shogunate army knew the true existence of the gods, they would definitely find a way to suppress the gods again, and no matter how bad they were, they would find ways to reduce the influence of the gods.
But then he learned that he was wrong.
Led by his company, they went to Scarlet Village, and out of their natural trust in the shogunate, they told him a lot about the situation in the village, the epidemics of the villagers, and the difficulties of the village
This group of soldiers lied that they had understood the situation and had received orders from above to take them away for treatment on Narukami Island.
Hearing the news, the villagers were overjoyed and helped to send the villagers affected by the epidemic to the boat parked in the Ignorance.
At that time, although Wen Bing's body was also affected, he did not become a member of it.
However, it was only later that he learned that the so-called bringing for treatment was actually just a hoax, and the real purpose of this group of people was to kill these villagers in order to prevent future troubles.
Not only do they have to kill those who have contracted the disease, but they are also among their targets, who have not been affected much so far.
Since it is necessary to eliminate future troubles, then it is necessary to kill everyone in order to truly eliminate future troubles.
The team sank the boat in the middle of nowhere, and the boat carrying most of the villagers sank into the sea.
After that, the team returned to the island.
This time, their target is them who are still alive.
However, this group of soldiers did not get their way.
It had been some time since they returned to the island, and many of the villagers who continued to live in the village had become somewhat insane due to the influence of the gods, claiming to be able to hear the Divine Word.
Among them, the most serious is the village chief Wu Jin.
He was the youngest and strongest samurai in the village.
After the destruction of the town, he led people to build shrines, organized people to buy food from pirates, and asked the shogunate and Watatsumi Island for help, doing his best to maintain stability in the village.
But God didn't fulfill people's wishes.
The harder you try, the more desperate you become.
Eventually, he fell into madness, and madness at its most complete.
They followed the instructions of the god and began to sacrifice the villagers to the shrine.
Wen Bing also noticed the abnormality at this time and left the village.
As soon as the group of soldiers returned to the village, they were surrounded by frenzied villagers, and after the scuffle, only one escaped.
In front of the altar of the shrine, the terrified soldiers tell the truth, which also provokes the villagers to go more and more crazy.
Blood, chaos, madness, evil.
It was the biggest living sacrifice.
After that, the few remaining people in the village became more and more scarce, and to this day, there is only one child named Changji in the village besides him.
Although the village chief is still alive, he has been completely assimilated by the gods who sit in front of the shrine all day.
After listening to this whole story, Jiang Bai didn't know what to say.
The story is like the atmosphere on this island, depressing, desperate, and breathless.
Jiang Bai didn't ask the person in front of him if he stopped him or if he was an accomplice, these no longer made any sense.
The tragedy has been created and cannot be changed.
The people in front of him are also deeply influenced by the gods, and their days are numbered.
He was the only surviving child who could have been taken away from here if he had the chance.
Looking at Jiang Bai, who was silent in front of him, Bao Ben suddenly spoke: "I want to ask you for a favor for me." ”
"What's the busy?"
"I want you to take it with you."
"Aren't you afraid that I'm in league with those shogunates?"
"I'm afraid, but I don't have any other choice."
It's been a long time since anyone has been in this Scarlet Wood Village, and how much of what is happening here will be known to outsiders?
He chose to tell the young man what had happened and didn't expect him to do anything, he just didn't want what happened in Scarlet Village to be buried with their deaths!
At least, after his death, there is still one person in the world who will know the truth here.
Jiang Bai looked at him, "Take him away, what about you?" ”
Yasumoto showed a wry smile, "As a pharmacist, although I can't cure the epidemic, I still know my own physical condition. ”
He didn't live this month.
"Changji is still young, he has not been affected much, he still has a mother, he still has a future."
"If he's willing to come with me, I'll take him to safety." Jiang Bai sighed, he was really too kind.
"Thank you." Yasumoto smiled shallowly.
It was probably the easiest day he'd ever had.
"I'll take you to him." Baoben took Jiang Bai out of the door, it wasn't raining outside now, but thunder flashed from time to time.
"Because of what happened in the village, Nagaji's kid's personality" Yasumoto considered the wording, "It's not very good"
"What's the wrong way?"
"Some snobbishness and greed for money may not be very likable, but this kid is not bad-hearted"
Yasumoto quickly led Ehaku to a house, and next to this house, there was a shrine on which a small child was placing an offering made of clay as a sacrifice.
"Changji!" Yasumoto shouted.
"Uncle Homoto, why are you here? This is? "Changji ran over.
He looked eight or nine years old, very thin, because he lived alone with no one to greet him, his clothes were dirty, and his hair was messy.
He had freckles on his face, and he wasn't very good-looking, but his eyes were bright.
It is a brightness of hope for life, which is very different from capital preservation.
