Chapter 22 [Prayer for Rain] Annotation
At that moment, Ning Qiushui felt a constant chill on his back.
He vaguely felt that something terrible might have happened in the village during the great drought that year......
Just when Ning and Bai were carefully observing the portrait, Liu Chengfeng came to the side and checked the annotation of the portrait.
"Sure enough, it was a great drought...... Hey, come and see! β
Liu Chengfeng seemed to have discovered something, his face changed, and he shouted at the two people next to the portrait.
The two came over immediately, and when they saw the direction of Liu Chengfeng's finger, they were all stunned.
There...... A new name has appeared.
Extensive repair.
"Also surnamed Guang? Will it have something to do with Hirokawa? β
Ning Qiushui's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly skimmed through the annotations of this picture.
The annotation roughly meansβ
About 120 years ago, there was a three-year drought in Qiyu Village, and the stream was cut off, not only did the crops not harvest, but even the flowers and trees on the mountain completely died.
At that time, the water source of the whole village was continued by an ancient well dug by the predecessors.
But the drought was followed by famine, and seeing that more and more people were dying of starvation in the village, some of the villagers went to the house of Guangxiu, the only member of the village at that time, and wanted to borrow some surplus grain from Guangxiu to eat.
But when they went, they never came back.
The other villagers noticed that something was wrong, so they quietly went to the door of Guang Xiu's house together, and found that Guang Xiu had killed the villagers who went to their house to borrow food, chopped them up and fed them to the dogs!
After this incident was exposed, the villagers of the entire village were furious!
Led by a middle-aged man named Ruan Kai Huang, the villagers entered Guang Xiu's house together, chopped Guang Xiu to pieces on the spot, and imprisoned his wife and children in the Yanyu Temple.
The Yanyu Temple is a rain temple built by Guangxiu to gather the property of the whole village, and the villagers offer tribute every year to pray to the land for good weather every year.
But in fact, that temple was just a means used by Guangxiu to collect money.
Strange to say, on the night Guangxiu was chopped up, there was a rain in the sky.
The Yanyu Temple was struck by lightning and caught fire.
Some people saw that the fire was not extinguished under the heavy rain, but burned more and more, so Guangxiu's wife and children were burned to death in the Yanyu Temple.
The villagers all said that this was God's opening of their eyes, and the wicked were punished by God.
In the end, under the leadership of Nguyen Kai Hoang, the villagers gradually returned to a stable life.
In order to commemorate Nguyen Kai Hoang's contribution to Qiyu Village, the descendants cast a miniature version of the portrait for him with gold and built an ancestral hall.
That's all there is to the annotations.
"It seems that the person holding the sickle in that painting is Ruan Kaihuang, and the one tied to the ground is Guangxiu and his wife and children."
"If that's ......"
Ning Qiushui immediately took out the tablet in his hand, looked at the word Guangchuan on it, and said with a little excitement:
"Hirokawa...... Could it be the son of Guangxiu who was burned to death? β
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
"Chances are."
As she spoke, she seemed to have found something, and she let out a 'huh' sound from her mouth, and walked to the front of the annotation, looked her eyes up and down, and took out a small flashlight from her body and shone it, and her voice suddenly became a lot more serious:
"There's something behind this note!"
When Ning and Liu heard this, they immediately stepped forward.
"What's that?"
Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright and uncertain.
"I don't know, but there's a large space in the wall behind the note."
"You ...... Get out of the way. β
The two knew what she was going to do, but Liu Chengfeng glared and stopped:
"Sister Bai, don't mess around, didn't the old man who swept the floor before say that things here can't be moved?"
Bai Xiaoxiao said calmly:
"Don't worry, I know it."
Seeing that she insisted on doing so, both of them took a few steps back, Bai Xiaoxiao was not polite at all, and took out a few coins from her pocket, she picked one out of it, and fiddled with it on the top of the annotation box for a while, and the screws on it were unscrewed!
"Damn, you can still screw like this!"
Liu Chengfeng looked stupid.
As the screws on the annotation box were unscrewed, Bai Xiaoxiao carefully took down the annotation, and the wall behind it really had a big inward groove!
And the terrible scene inside the groove made the three of them stunned in place!
I saw that in that small groove, there were two corpses with extremely twisted shapes!
This groove is about 50*50*50Cm cube, and it is hard to imagine how such a groove can accommodate the corpses of two adults!
The expressions of the two corpses were extremely frightened, as if they had seen something terrible before they died, entangled with each other, and the two miserable white faces stared out of the groove like this......
"It's them?!"
Ning Qiushui snorted secretly.
The two looked at him.
"Little brother, do you know them?"
Ning Qiushui nodded and replied:
"Do you remember what the old man who swept the floor said just now, last night at 8 or 9 o'clock, two tourists came to this place......"
"When I first entered the Blood Gate yesterday and gathered in the open space, although I didn't see everyone's faces clearly, I can roughly remember the clothes, these two people are the same as us, they are people outside the Blood Gate!"
"This morning, I wondered why there were three of us missing when there was only one corpse in the open space outside!"
"Now it seems...... The other two missing people are here! β
As Ning Qiushui finished speaking, Liu Chengfeng swallowed a mouthful of saliva:
"You say...... What made them what they are? β
Both were silent.
Theoretically, it is impossible for man to do this.
At least it is impossible to knead two corpses into dough and stuff them into such a small space without blood!
So...... What is it?
Just when the three of them were silent, a voice suddenly came from behind them that made their scalps tingle!
"Didn't I tell you before...... Don't just touch the things in the ancestral hall? β
"You ......"
"Why don't you listen......"
pS: There is one more more, send it later
