The village chief's face instantly turned extremely pale, "Chengwazi, you can't talk nonsense, I was only thirteen years old at that time, how could I follow my father and them to open up the wasteland." ”

"Well, the second question, 65 years ago there was a rat plague in that mountain, and today there is a pest plague in that mountain, with 65 years as a reincarnation, what will happen in the next 65 years?"

My words shocked everyone present, even my father looked at me in surprise, and the village chief's face turned pale and his lips trembled.

I said again, "Village Chief, if you hide it, you won't be able to save dozens of lives, do you still want to keep it a secret and let more people die?" ”

The village chief finally lost his breath, took a deep breath, and glanced at the miserable situation around him, "I have kept this secret for sixty-five years!" I thought it would follow me into the coffin, buried forever underground. ”

The village chief walked up to his father, picked up his sister in his mother's arms, looked at the blood stains on his body, and shook his head, "Your family Chengzi is a good one." ”

Dad scratched the back of his head, took the sister in the village chief's hand, and the mother hugged his father tightly and wiped her tears secretly.

"The story I told you before was not made up, it was true, but as Cheng Wazi said, I was there at the time."

I nodded, the iron gourd bottle pendant on my chest was a little hot, but I didn't notice, I just wanted to hear the secret from the village chief's mouth.

The village chief coughed heavily, "It happened so fast that my father sacrificed the lives of many villagers to save me, and even my father himself was bitten." The rat plague came and went quickly, and I looked at the wreckage all over the ground, and was about to drag my father home, when a blind man came out of the cave, and he said that if the disaster did not endanger the village, he had to keep this secret, and send a group of people to the mountain every sixty-five years to pay tribute to the mountain god. ”

I chuckled in my heart, turned my head to look at my father, and my father also had a shocked expression.

"Later, I went back to the village with my father, and I didn't tell the villagers everything about it, but the next day my father became ill, and within a few days he became exactly like a mouse, even his appearance! I knew it must be the mountain god to blame, so for so many years, I kept this secret until the next sixty-five years..."

Before he could finish his words, his father's body began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ground reflected in the blood-like remnant sun was red. In less than a few moments, Dad's exposed skin had turned red.

I watched in amazement as my father hurriedly hugged my sister to my mother, and then my father's red skin began to burn on its own.

"Ahh

The screams of pain were endless, and the mother knelt on the ground crying in despair with her sister, everyone was far away, with despair in their eyes, as if they were looking at a stranger.

I hurriedly took off my coat to put out the fire, but the village chief grabbed my wrist and shook his head at me, "Cause and effect reincarnation, this is retribution." ”

I shook his hand away, "What bullshit karma!" It's obviously your mistake, why should your father bear it! ”

When I turned around and tried to save my father, the fire could not be stopped, and my father's screams were completely drowned out in the fire.

I watched my father being burned to ashes, my mother had cried until she lost her voice, and the sister in my mother's arms surprisingly did not cry, but quietly nestled in my mother's arms and beckoned to me.

I looked at the fire that was gradually decreasing, and knelt on the ground with a thud, I couldn't believe that my father was so gone, I was holding my sister well one moment, but I didn't expect it to be burned to ashes in the next second.

I knelt on the ground and kowtowed to my father three times, and before I could finish kowtowing, my mother's heart-rending wail sounded in my ears.

I saw my mother holding my sister and burning, and the fire became extremely fast in an instant, the fire was one foot high, and the people around me all ran away, without the slightest intention of saving people, my eyes were red when I cried, and I looked at the group of people with resentment, and the village chief always stood there, watching my family being burned alive, and there was no wave in my heart.

It's late at night, Cangyun is hanging in the sky with the lonely moon, I still kneel in place, looking at the two blackened ground in front of me, even the ashes are not left, I cry blood, grief-stricken, the family was good yesterday around a table to eat, today I am the only one left.

The village chief has been standing next to me on a wooden crutch, "Chengwazi, you know, the pain I endured sixty-five years ago is the same as what you are suffering now, my mother passed away early, and my father and I were left in the family, after that incident, I was the only one left in the family, I was only thirteen years old at the time, and it was difficult to even live, but I had no choice, I had to keep this secret until the next sixty-five years, otherwise I would not be able to close my eyes until I died!" ”

I looked at him blankly, "You can stop it, but you just watched them die!" You think you're protecting this village, but it seems to me that you're just pathetic and begging for your life! ”

The village chief wanted to say something and stopped, but finally shook his head, "Child, this matter is not as simple as you think. ”

I yelled, "Then you say! What the hell is going on! ”

"I've told you everything I need to say, you're a smart one, you should be able to understand."

"Nope! I don't understand! I don't understand why that happened sixty-five years ago, I don't understand why the tragedy will happen again sixty-five years later, and I don't understand what you're afraid of by keeping this secret! "I poured out all my doubts.

I saw the village chief frowning, "If I could know what that mountain really exists, I would definitely stop it, but after so many years, I have investigated, and I have even been to that mountain alone, but in the end I still can't find out the result." ”

"So you're going to send them to death right in front of your eyes?" I looked at the village chief in disbelief.

The village chief sighed, "I don't know how cruel this is, but for the sake of the whole village, I have to do this, if I don't do what the blind man said, and put the village in danger at that time, then I can't explain to my father when I get down!" ”

I closed my eyes and turned my back to the village chief, "I don't care how many things you are still hiding, it doesn't matter to me, this is a complete conspiracy, and you are the murderer!" ”

The lead-gray sky, chaotic, and the originally beautiful night has lost its brilliance at this moment.

I held my father, mother and sister's clothes and buried them in the back mountain, I buried them together, there was no tombstone and no tribute, just like that, in a mountain bag, buried three souls.
