Zheng Dao and Mingyang traveled throughout the village, and finally found a person in the northeast of the village. Zheng Dao and Mingyang went straight to this person, walked to the outside of the courtyard where this person lived, and saw a young man chopping wood. When he saw Zheng Dao and Mingyang, the young man nervously clenched the axe in his hand and stared at the two coldly.

Mingyang stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask little brother, why is there no one in your village?"

The young man snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, ask knowingly, if you want to arrest us and leave, just do it, it's a big deal." The young man's words stunned both of them, and they didn't understand what he was talking about.

Zheng Dao opened his mouth and said, "We are just passing by, what are we doing to arrest you?"

When the young man heard Zheng Dao say this, his expression eased slightly, and he asked cautiously, "Didn't you come down from the mountain?"

Mingyang replied, "Which mountain? We came from there." As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the entrance to the village.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Did I say that, it's still two days before the full moon arrives, why did you come so early." ”

The young man's words made the two of them confused, and Zheng Dao asked again: "Why is there no one else in this village, only your family is left?"

The young man put down his axe, shook his head and sighed, "Alas, they have all escaped, those who can escape have fled, and those who can't have escaped have been eaten." ”

Zheng Dao and Mingyang were both surprised and asked, "Eaten?"

The young man nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes, they were all eaten, I couldn't escape because my old mother was paralyzed in bed and couldn't move, so I couldn't escape, and I insisted on hiding in Tibet until now, and it is estimated that the full moon night of the day after tomorrow is also in the catastrophe, you guys go quickly, if they catch you, you will definitely die." ”

Zheng Dao and Mingyang looked at each other, knowing that things were not simple, and immediately walked into the hospital, Zheng Dao asked: "What happened to you, you tell us in detail." ”

The young man threw the axe on the ground, turned around and went into the house to wash his hands and get the tea bowl, and Zheng Dao and Mingyang followed into the house. The house was very neat and clean, and there was an old woman lying on a bed in the east room, although she was paralyzed in the bed, but the bedding was new, the clothes were clean, and her face was ruddy and kind.

Hearing someone enter the house, the old woman asked in a harmonious voice, "Who?" and the young man replied loudly, "Mother, two passers-by have come in and begged for a bowl of water." ”

The old woman said again: "Oh, son, didn't you let you run away quickly, why don't you leave, no one has been here in the past few days, everyone has fled, you should also go quickly, I am a blind old woman who dies, my mother can't drag you down." ”

The young man walked to the bed and said loudly: "Mother, don't listen to their nonsense, there is no such thing as a man-eater, they are making you happy." ”

The old woman nodded and said to herself: "You can't lie to your mother, if you are all eaten, you don't leave a queen for your old Yu family, how can I go to see your father, it's my mother who dragged you down." Tears welled up in the old woman's eyes.

The young man hurriedly stepped forward to comfort his mother, and finally stopped the old woman's tears, and while comforting his mother, the young man took a pear and peeled it, put it in the old woman's hand, stood up and waved to Zheng Dao and Mingyang, and the three of them walked to the courtyard and sat at a small square table.

The young man poured three cups of tea and put them in front of everyone, and said softly: "Alas, we were originally a very peaceful and peaceful mountain village, and our lives were peaceful and harmonious.

But just a few months ago, a group of people, more than thirty in total, came up on a mountain far north of the village, and they all looked fierce and vicious, they were man-eating demons. All of them are very powerful, not only are they strong and strong, but they also have some spells, and we are powerless to resist.

His subordinates are already difficult to deal with, and their king is even more powerful, he can make you unable to move just by standing in front of you, and the feeling of oppression seems to be able to tear you apart. They made it a rule that the king should eat a virgin or a virgin every three days.

On the first and fifteenth days of the new month, when the moon is full, his men will also eat people. Several nearby villages were to be offered to them in turn, and the king sent his men to guard the entrances of each village, and went to the village every three days and the day of the full moon to arrest people.

We can't sit idly by and start fleeing en masse, because those people are limited in manpower, and although many people have been killed and eaten, many have escaped. If I carried my mother on my back, I would definitely be caught, so I simply didn't leave, and I kept hiding from my mother that I didn't dare to tell her.

Sighing, the young man continued: "But a while ago, when I went up the mountain to chop wood, a relative from another village came to my house, and he was kind enough to help me and my mother escape, so he told my mother about it.

When my mother heard about it, she was very anxious, and the relative saw that I was not at home, and could not help us escape for a while, and was afraid of being targeted by those demons, so she left first without waiting for me. When I got home, my mother tried her best to persuade me to run away on my own.

I couldn't leave my mother alone, so I coaxed her to say that it was all a rumor, and there was no such thing. But how could my mother believe it, knowing that I couldn't let her go, so she refused to leave. In order to force me to leave, a few days ago, my mother took advantage of my time when I was out to chop wood, and even thought of suicide.

That day, my mother crawled into the outhouse and found a short knife, fortunately she sprained her right arm when she fell off the bed, and her left arm was not flexible.

I want to bite my tongue and kill myself, but I have no teeth in my mouth. Later, she hit the stove with her head, but after this toss, she had no strength, and coupled with her immobility, she just knocked out a few large bags on her head and fainted.

When I rushed back to see this scene, I was really scared half to death, and hurriedly picked up the old lady and put her back on the bed, bandaged and medicated her. But the old lady was still bent on death, and she began not to eat or drink. I didn't dare to go out anymore, so I could only guard her every day.

Good words and comfort don't work, I can only say to my mother that as long as she doesn't eat, I won't eat, and my mother has no choice but to rely on me. I also made up my mind that I can live one day at a time, and I can honor my mother one day at a time. Now that everyone has run out, the day after tomorrow is the night of the full moon, and our mother and I will definitely die. ”

Zheng Dao and Mingyang were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this, Zheng Dao punched the square table and said angrily: "It's too rampant, I'll meet them." ”

The young man immediately made a soft gesture and pointed to the room again, Zheng Dao knew that he was speechless, and immediately sat down to relieve his emotions. The young man said softly: "Brother Tai, don't take risks, those people are all demons who eat people without blinking, all of them are strong in kung fu, don't talk about yourself, even 1,800 people are not their opponents."

If we can resist, there will be not a thousand or eight hundred young people in our village and several nearby villages, but it will still be useless, and the leader will just stand there and we will not be able to move.
