"Just ask."
Linzi said.
"What is the status of your parents in the village?"
Linzi was stunned for a moment, he lowered his head, "This question, I asked my grandmother today, my father is a priest, and my mother is also a position of this kind, in short, her status is very high." ” "So, they are the heads of the Six Mangs" "There are many strongholds in the Six Mang Sect, our village is just one of them, as for whether my parents are the heads, I really don't know, it shouldn't be, the heads of the Six Mang Sect should not be called priests, I know too little about them" He looked at me depressedly and said, "Sometimes, I really envy you, how much I wish my family would be like your family, they don't have to be particularly rich, as long as they are ordinary people, my parents' hands have been stained with the blood of too many people" I didn't know how to comfort Linzi, so I continued to ask him: "Didn't you say that your parents were also ordinary people at first, they were still in business, and then they were taken by Redbeard to join the Six Mangjiao, I remember you said that they did some bad things with Redbeard, what do you mean that your village is so closed, their business is" "You saw the cornfield when you came?"
I nodded.
"I have some impressions that my parents first bought the land, hired people to plant it, and some directly contracted it to people outside the village, but then the people related to the land died."
Linzi swallowed his saliva, touched his pocket, took out the shriveled cigarette case, and when there was no smoke, he threw the cigarette case directly behind the door.
"At first, I heard that the hired workers, as well as the people who contracted the land, were suffering from injuries one after another, and my father had injured them, and then they died before they were cured.
I always thought Redbeard was the culprit. ” "Actually," Wang Ying asked nervously.
"Actually, those people were not wounded, but killed, without exception, all of them."
Linzi's voice was very low.
"Is it that those people were sacrificed as human animals," Wang Ying asked cautiously.
Linzi nodded, "And Redbeard is not the culprit, it's because I don't want to believe that my parents did those things, and I am willing to believe what my brother said to me from the bottom of my heart, and I believe that Redbeard is a wicked person." ” The fact is that the business of Linzi's parents is to recruit workers from the outside, and then sacrifice them, and if they don't meet the requirements, they will be killed directly, and then turned into living corpses.
"Can you whole village accept this kind of sacrifice?"
I still can't understand this cruel and bloody custom.
Linzi shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that our village has a history of many years, and these customs have been handed down, and I don't know much about the rest, in my opinion, they are no different from madmen" Before Linzi finished speaking, the door creaked.
I saw Grandma Linzi standing outside the door, and Linzi hurriedly opened the door and let the old man into the house.
"I'm not going in, it's not early, you all go to sleep."
Grandma Linzi's expression was calm, but her tone was irrefutable.
She probably heard what we just said about human animals, and she didn't want us to continue talking.
When I thought that Grandma Linzi was highly respected in the village, I must have agreed with that kind of human sacrifice.
Thinking of this, sweat broke out on my forehead, I shouldn't have fallen asleep and been dragged to the sacrifice "You don't have to be so afraid of me, I'm different from them, you can sleep in peace."
Her voice was kind, with a kindness in her old age, as if my grandmother were talking to me.
Linzi hurriedly agreed, and after grandma left, our topic ended here, and we each lay down.
Groggy and groggy, I finally fell asleep, accompanied by nightmares all night.
The next day, I was woken up by a cacophony of talking, as if someone was knocking on the door outside.
"Quick, get up, kid."
When I opened my eyes, I saw Grandma Linzi standing next to my pillow, and she looked nervously at Rinko and me.
I sat up with a spirit, and Linzi, Wang Ying and Yaqing all woke up.
A quick glance at the time, it's eleven o'clock in the morning.
"I didn't expect them to dare to search me here, you guys hurry up and hide."
Grandma Linzi said anxiously.
Linzi blinked, "Oh no, it must have been seen when I went to pick up the three of you yesterday, they came for me, I shouldn't have known you were here." ” "Then what should I do now," Wang Ying asked worriedly.
Yaqing was even more frightened, her face darkened, "Brother, I don't want to be cooked."
"Don't be afraid, you follow grandma to the backyard cellar, I'll clean up here and go to you, bring your belongings, don't leave traces."
Linzi quickly admonished.
The three of us took our things and followed Grandma Linzi towards the backyard quickly.
I didn't see it clearly last night, but there was a small gate on the east side of the courtyard, through which you could walk to the backyard.
Three jujube trees were planted in the backyard, and some vegetables were planted under the trees, but they were not yet ripe.
And near the base of the wall, there are two cellars.
Cellars are very common in the countryside and can be used to store vegetables and fruits, peanuts, sweet potatoes and much more.
The cellar is generally not too large, with a depth of about three meters.
The cellars dug by each family are different in size, but the structure is similar.
The top is made up of branches, covered with a layer of oiled paper, and then covered with wild grass and soil, and the entrance is the size of a manhole cover, which is usually covered with wooden planks and weeds and oiled paper.
I've been afraid of going into the cellar since I was a child, and my sister laughed at me about it.

I always feel that the cellar is wet, like a grave pit, and some graves are getting smaller and smaller, and one side may indeed be washed out of a black hole by the rain.
Every time I pass by a place like that, I feel like a dead person is crawling up from it.
Another reason that scared me was that when I went down to the cellar as a child, I saw a big snake entrenched, and I was terrified at the time, and I haven't been in the cellar since.
"Let's go down.
Don't touch what's inside. ” Grandma Linzi bent down to help us open the entrance to one of the cellars and said nervously.
"Won't they come here," Yaqing asked worriedly, "And what's in here, is there a dead man?"
He may have never seen this kind of cellar, Grandma Linzi sighed anxiously, "If you don't go down, don't you want to go out from the main gate, go down quickly, they won't come to the backyard" Wang Ying saw that Yaqing and I were hesitant, took a deep breath, and went down first.
After the three of us went down to the cellar, Linzi soon came.
Grandma Linzi helped us cover the entrance to the cellar and left.
As soon as I entered the cellar, I smelled a strange smell, like a potion, and a slight smell, which was not the same as the earthy cellar I remembered.
