All puzzles can be solved without guessing.

Early the next morning, after learning the content of the letter, Brother Chengxin only said this sentence. It seemed that it was inevitable for us to venture into that holy village.

I remember that the sky was not completely bright that day, and Brother Chengxin had packed everything and was ready to go. Originally, there was no need to bother, but we discovered on the first night that there was almost no cell phone signal in this town, so

Using modern communication tools is simply not feasible, and the only way is to get out of this town.

And I don’t want to recall the tragedy of that day when we left the town. What was waiting for us at the entrance of the town was the heavily armed people from the so-called town police station!

In the end, Brother Chengxin left the town. Under the protection of those old people, or because Uncle Wei Jun was tough again, he was able to leave the town smoothly.

In fact, I suspect they don't care at all if we leave the town. There used to be some cultivators in this town. They stopped us probably to 'vent their anger', to vent our anger for standing with these old people. The more degenerate the people are.

The more you want to be recognized by others, maybe this is the mentality?

When I returned to Tongzilou, it was just that my head was broken and my face was covered with blood, and Uncle Wei Jun had some hidden diseases somewhere on his body.

But I was very happy, because the depression and pain in this town made me extremely crazy when we got into arguments. At least three of the so-called lunatics in the town were beaten by me until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and I vented myself violently.

emotions.

The waiting days are a bit long, but staying with these miserable people can bring them some comfort. Ruyue and I don't find it difficult to pass the time.

We also learned a lot about the town, such as those so-called 'elites' who can participate in sacrifices. It turns out that the youngest ones are over 60 years old, but most of them still look like middle-class people.

The elderly do not look old, and live without illness or pain, and seem to be very happy and happy.

In addition, the most unusual thing about this town is that there is a quota for giving birth every year. That is to say, the people here are like animals that are fed and must keep giving birth to the holy village.

"Human relations are all in chaos. Once they fall, it seems like there is no bottom line. I can't talk about those things. In short, the deeper the belief in a person, the deeper he falls. There is no fixed relationship between husband and wife anymore.

, it’s all a mess.” Mr. Liu told me these words. I thought of the man and woman who started to have an affair on that street that night. Is this what it turned out to be like?

The more I listened, the more irritable I found myself. If I wasn't still waiting, I would have wanted to leave here and go to the so-called holy village every moment.

But Brother Chengxin didn't keep me waiting too long. Three days later, he came back, and naturally all of our partners came back with him.

They all came. When they came, an old man who went to inquire about news every day discovered them in advance and notified me. I went to pick them up at the alley of the town. I will never forget it. I laughed when I saw Xiao Chengqian walking in front of him with an arrogant look.

He was carrying a stick and looked like a gangster. He was walking arrogantly on the streets of the town, shouting as he walked: "You still have the nerve to beat people? You are worse than a bunch of animals! You know how to pronounce human words?"

How do you write it? Come out to me and see if I don’t hit you all hard and hurt you. You don’t know what it means that a pot is made of iron.”

Tao Bo walked shyly behind Xiao Chengqian, and kept asking Xiao Chengqian: "Brother Chengqian, is this okay?" He was also holding a stick, trying hard to pretend to be fierce, but he was naturally shy, and he lowered his voice from time to time.

With her head down, she looks like a big girl.

"Okay, show off your temperament, okay? Wait a minute, you charge forward, you are the number one thug with your incredible strength." After saying that, Xiao Chengqian waved his stick again and roared ferociously, but his appearance was helpless.

She was originally feminine and handsome, without any toughness at all, and she and Tao Bo were a completely funny duo.

Brother Chengqing and Lu Shan looked embarrassed in the back. Chengzhen and Chengyuan held hands and cracked melon seeds, as if they were from a tourist group. As for Hui Gener, he yawned out of boredom, held his head in his hands, and looked away.

He glanced at Xiao Chengqian and Tao Bo, and then cursed in his Shaanxi accent: "Porcelain horses are stupid."

The last person walking was Brother Chengxin. He just smiled at me gently and said, "We are all here, we can set off."

————————————————————Dividing line——————————————————————

Where is the Holy Village? No one here knows. After staying in the town these days, I know that the so-called top management of this town should be people in the town government. They should know something, but for special reasons

Concern, I don't want to cause trouble.

Because cleaning up these people will inevitably alarm Jiang Yi, and I have mixed feelings about Jiang Yi. If I can avoid alarming him, I will try my best not to alarm him! Although I am sure that the people who are here to maintain the so-called everything,

Basically, the department has been betrayed.

So how to get to the Holy Village? After discussion, we found that there is only one way! That is to go to the Holy Village through sacrifice. Only through sacrifice can we get to the Holy Village.

The large-scale sacrifice here is held every two years. Unfortunately, we have encountered it before. At that time, several children were sacrificed. Mr. Liu told me that if the people sent to the holy village were adults, then

It is a small sacrifice. If it is a child, it will be a large sacrifice, and the weird big ship will appear.

The time for large-scale sacrifices is fixed. Once every two years, at least 4 children must be sacrificed, and there is no limit on how many children can be sacrificed at most.

The time for small sacrifices is not fixed. In short, it depends on whether there is a need to sacrifice adults to the holy village. When it is frequent, there will be a small sacrifice almost every day, but when it is not frequent, there may not be one for several months.

We were very anxious, and obviously we couldn't wait for a few months. At this time, Uncle Wei Jun spoke. He reassured us that within three days at most, we would get an opportunity for a small sacrifice. He asked us how to do it specifically.

Don't ask too many questions.

"I will fight for the opportunity for you to sacrifice, but you said you want to get on the boat, but I have no choice, because the Holy Village's boat will not let you capable people get on, otherwise no one will force it on board and try to break in.

It’s such a tragedy that you died while entering the Holy Village. You can only think of a solution on your own! Maybe small-scale sacrifices are much less dangerous than large-scale sacrifices, but I have never seen the envoy take action.” At this point, Mr. Liu stopped talking.

, he is actually telling us about the dangers of this first step.

It's a pity that Xiao Chengqian, who has never seen the sacrifice scene, doesn't care at all. He has recently become addicted to playing with sticks. After hearing what Mr. Liu said, he said indifferently: "Don't let me get on the boat? Then I will knock the so-called messenger

Pass out."

Mr. Liu was stunned. Hui Gen'er and I yawned at the same time. It was really helpless.

He said he would arrange a sacrifice for us within three days, and Uncle Wei Jun actually did so. On the night of the third day, the whole town was shrouded in mist again, and those wandering spirits appeared again.

Mr. Liu woke us up while we were sleeping to recuperate, and said to us with a somewhat sad expression: "Tonight, there will be a sacrifice, and a boat will definitely appear to pick it up. Let's go, it will be too late later.

It’s too late.”

I didn't understand why Mr. Liu was so sad, but he still woke everyone up, put on the black cloaks, and prepared to set off towards the lumber transportation office.

Our plan is to blend in with the group of men in black robes, force ourselves onto the boat and walk in the cold alleyways in late autumn before they notice. I hope everything goes well, but what I don’t understand is why none of these poor old people are there.

Follow us, but let us act alone. What is the purpose of this?

Soon, we arrived at the lumber transportation office. Under the cover of the cloak, no one paid attention to us at first. This kind of head count was probably a high-level matter that had to wait until everyone was gathered.

But we did not act rashly. Instead, we waited in a secret place at the timber transportation area, which was close to the shore of the backwater bay. This distance was suitable for us to suddenly burst out and force a breakthrough.

Compared with that large-scale sacrifice, the noise of this sacrifice was much smaller. After all, we were on a gentle slope and we couldn't hear anything. There were only faint screams in the night wind. I felt inexplicable in my heart.

When I started to feel sad and uneasy, I just hoped it was an illusion caused by the influence on me.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the so-called sacrifice was completed. The faint sound of joy could be heard again. The crowd began to go down the mountain, and the ones at the front were the tied sacrifices.

.

Just after taking a glance, my heart began to throb suddenly, because those sacrifices turned out to be four of the old people who had lived with me for a few days.

But what made me heartbroken to the point of tears welling up in my eyes was not exactly this, but the fact that there were several people in front of me holding several pallets, and on the largest pallet carried by two of them, I could vaguely see a corpse.

I couldn't see clearly who it was, but I couldn't help but shed tears.

"Human struggle has always been accompanied by sacrifices. Without sacrifices, how can we move towards the bright future without sacrifices made of flesh and blood? Don't ask me why there are sacrifices, because this is the collision of the bright side and the dark side of human beings.
