"Then you can tell me what else they have done," Linzi also red-eyed.
"Cannibalism."
The old man was trembling all over, accompanied by bouts of retching.
"What" Yaqing's eyes widened in horror, "Cannibal grandmother, are you saying that the people in this village are all descendants of cannibals?"
"I don't know what cannibals are, but I know that they regard all the people outside the village as inferior human animals, and like animals, they are food for the gods.
And those who are not qualified will be eliminated, regarded as the lowest people, directly killed, or imprisoned as coolies. ” Grandma Linzi's teeth creaked, and it sounded like she hated the villagers even more than we did.
"You think they're crazy," Linzi asked in surprise.
"The people in the village are indeed crazy, they have been crazy for a long time, since the day they believe in the Liumang Sect, they have been crazy."
She took two deep breaths and continued: "They felt that they had been appointed by the gods, and that they were the only ones who were qualified to communicate with the gods.
So they hate shamanism and feel that shamanism is blasphemy. ” After hearing this, I couldn't help but say, since these villagers said that the gods blessed them, when did they start to worship like this, and when did the Liumang Sect start to spread here.
Grandma Linzi said that the village has a history of thousands of years, and they have been practicing such bloody sacrifices for a long time.
In modern times, it has converged a lot, and there were more people who sacrificed in the past, but if you go back to it, Grandma Linzi doesn't know the specific years.
And no matter how the wheel of history turns, the villagers here have always lived a prosperous life, free from outside influences, which they believe is the result of the blessing of the gods.
Of course, the village has also suffered locust plagues and droughts, and in those years, they will double their sacrifices and pray for the blessings of God.
"But you still haven't told me why my brother's body is in that cellar," Rinko stared at her grandmother.
"There's nothing to say, it's just a custom in the village, and I don't want your brother to be" Grandma Linzi's voice choked up, "I don't want your brother to die, I don't want his body to be tortured like this after he dies" It sounds like Grandma Linzi is putting everything down to the village itself, but there's one more thing that makes me feel conflicted.
"Grandma Linzi."
I respectfully called her, "If you disagree so much with the way of the villagers, why do they respect you so much, as if you were the greatest priest." ” "Yes, yes, we just heard you talk to that person about human animals, as if you can control their fate."
Wang Ying followed my words.
Grandma Linzi smiled bitterly, the wrinkles on her face deepened, and the smile disappeared immediately.
She sat slowly on a wooden pier on the edge of the cellar and told us why.
She said that she was not from this village, and came here by mistake, and the reason why she had such a status later was all given by Grandpa Linzi, because Grandpa Linzi was the high priest of the village at that time.
Grandpa Linzi accepted and protected her, and after her grandfather's death, the position of high priest was passed to Grandma Linzi, but she didn't want to participate in any sacrifices at all, so she passed it on to her son, who was Linzi's father.
Unexpectedly, Linzi's father was so crazy that he even killed his own flesh and blood, and everything was out of control, so Grandma Linzi is now very painful and disappointed.
Grandma Linzi's tone was full of remorse and resentment, as if she was resenting her cowardice.
She looked into the distance with cloudy eyes, "It took me a lifetime to adapt to the customs of the village, to understand these customs, and finally I can face these calmly, but in my heart, I have never been able to accept it." ” "Grandma, if that's the case, then why did you marry my grandfather in the first place?"
"I accidentally got lost and entered the village, I was almost sacrificed as an adult animal at that time, and then I was rescued by your grandfather, he fell in love with me, he shouldn't be like this, but when feelings come, people can't control them."
A hint of happiness appeared on Grandma Linzi's face, and she continued: "Your grandfather later told people that my birthday was not suitable for human animals, and that I was a person who, like them, received the blessings of the gods.
Of course, the villagers didn't believe me, but after several years, they finally accepted me, your grandfather is really a good man, although he also sacrifices like crazy, but he is different from your father" Grandma Linzi sighed after speaking.
Linzi finally didn't continue to ask about the corpse in the cellar.
Grandma Linzi stood up and reminded us again that we must leave today, and if we miss the opportunity, I am afraid we will never be able to leave again.
"I listened to the young man who had found something and how did he solve it," I asked.
She said that those people were deliberately looking for trouble, and they didn't know where to find one of Linzi's father's clothes, so they didn't say that there were suspicious people who came, but they didn't dare to mess around, so they were sent away by Grandma Linzi.
After hearing her say this, I was a little relieved.
After returning to the house, the four of us continued to cats in the west end of the house, and Grandma Linzi went to make us lunch.
No one dared to speak loudly, and we had to spend these two days with such care.
At this time, Yaqing suddenly walked behind the door and looked at the ground next to him, looking panicked.
"What's wrong Yaqing" "Brother Linzi, did you throw away that empty cigarette case when you cleaned up the house just now?"
asked Yaqing.
I remembered that yesterday Linzi wanted to smoke, but the cigarette was gone, so he threw the cigarette case directly behind the door.
Linzi shook his head and said, "No, maybe grandma cleaned it up." ” Yaqing was very scared, he said that the box of cigarettes looked like something brought from outside, because Grandma Linzi smoked cigarettes, which would definitely arouse the suspicion of others, whether we had been discovered by those people I suddenly remembered another thing and said nervously: "The young man just said that he found something, and it was the empty cigarette case."
Wang Ying told me not to be nervous first, maybe Grandma Linzi saw it later and helped us put it away in time, otherwise when I asked her just now, she would definitely tell us that those people had found cigarette cases.
Linzi nodded, turned her head and walked out, saying that she would go to the kitchen and ask her grandmother if she had seen the cigarette case.
After a while, Linzi returned, and looking at his relaxed face, I knew that our worries were unnecessary.
"My grandmother found the cigarette case, picked it up, threw it under the stove and burned it, no one found it, don't worry."

Linzi said quickly.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to it.
Shortly after lunch, we were resting in the house when suddenly there was a caphony of talking in the alley, although I couldn't quite hear what they were saying.
I hurriedly walked to the window to listen carefully, those people were in a hurry, walking and running, mixed with the sound of some pots and pans colliding together, tinkling very lively.
See you tomorrow t1706231537:
