The rain poured down on his thinning hair and crumpled clothes, making him look wet, his arms resting on his knees, and his hands covered in age spots.
There was an eerie aura about this man all over his body, and that aura mixed with the earthy smell of rain made me a little scared.
But Linzi and I stopped.
"Why is he sitting here, is he a villager who suffered in the fire?"
asked Linzi.
I said it was possible, and looked at his shoes, unlike ours, which were all covered in mud, so he was already here before the rain.
In other words, he did not participate in the sacrifice in the village just now.
This old man is probably the same as Grandma Linzi, and he can't stand the bad customs that have been passed down in the village, so he is hiding here.
"If he was already here, maybe he would know where Wang Ying and the others were taken by the three, let's go, let's ask him."
I proposed.
Linzi nodded, and we walked over together.
At a distance of three or four meters from the old man, Linzi and I stopped, he should have heard our voices, but he didn't look up, he kept his head down like that, and he couldn't even see his facial features.
"Uncle, did you see a lot of people coming out just now, do you know where they have gone," I asked him cautiously and politely.
"You're finally out, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
His tone was strange, his breath didn't seem to be too strong, and it seemed like he was pinching his throat and raising his throat.
"Are you waiting for us," Linzi asked in surprise, dragging me back two steps.
This old man is a bit weird, and we have to watch out for it.
"Well, I'm waiting for you, to be exact."
He didn't look up, but it seemed to be saying something to Linzi.
"Wait for me," Rinko asked.
"That's right."
"What are you doing waiting for me, I don't seem to know you" "You'll know."
"What the hell are you waiting for me to do?"
asked Linzi anxiously.
The old man said that he had come to talk to Linzi.
"What are you talking about, you just have to tell me that you were all sacrificing just now, why don't you go" Linzi turned to look at him vigilantly.
"Hmph.
Sacrifice," the old man said coldly, with a questioning tone.
"Yes, don't you have to participate in the sacrifice to the gods?"
"Say whatever you want."
The old man didn't seem to want to discuss the topic any further.
But listening to his words, the implication was that it was not a sacrifice that had just been carried out "It's not a sacrifice, what the hell is that," I asked him anxiously.
The old man ignored me, I looked at Linzi, or let him continue to communicate with the old man.
"Or you can tell us what you want to say while you are waiting for us here," Linzi asked.
The old man sighed, as if clearing his throat, "I want to tell you that last night, you were in trouble, you were in trouble. ” Linzi and I exchanged glances and continued to ask, "What do you say about a catastrophe?"
The old man told us in that strange voice that the fire of the previous night, which had started because of us, would not have spread so widely and affected so many people, but the fire had awakened some people.
In the words of the old man, it was to wake up some dead people.
The dead had been asleep and had not yet been able to wake up, but the fire had reached the place where they were sleeping, so they were awakened early.
When the dead wake up, they become out of control, furious, hateful, and bloodthirsty.
Some of their bodies were burned, so they ran away with the flames to other houses.
Some of the dead were burned to ashes, and those who entered the house were killed by the dead men when the owner of the house went back to put out the fire.
Except for those who were burned to ashes, the dead had been successfully contained, but the dead villagers would not come back to life.
That's why the fire kept spreading, burning more and more, burning more and more, and even some houses with independent courtyards were affected.
And the kind of sleeping dead man that the old man said in his mouth actually refers to the living corpse.
"Didn't you notice just now that there were fewer people going to the sacrifice?"

asked the old man.
Linzi and I nodded, saying that it was less, and I asked the old man again: "Things are already like this, and they are not the same as we think, if you want to blame those living corpses, and the person who made the living corpses." ” "You're shirking your responsibility, but you're scared."
The old man said with great certainty.
I confess that the thought of the innocent villagers who died because of us does fill my heart with fear and guilt.
At this moment, I finally understood why Linzi's parents were suddenly leaving the altar in a hurry during the sacrificial ceremony, as if something big had happened.
It turned out that they were out to control the living corpses.
"You just want to tell us this," Linzi asked.
The old man did not answer his question, but said slowly, "Wait, they will seek revenge on you." ” "Who are they?"
"O dead because of you," replied the old man.
I couldn't help but gasp, and suddenly I felt like I was going to be haunted by ghosts.
"What to do then" "There is no way, you can only come and cover the water with soldiers."
The old man said.
I looked at him, although his hands were covered with age spots, but they were not blackened, and from my point of view, the side of his ears and face were also clean, which means that when he was on fire just now, he did not go to save it, but hid far away.
"You didn't even go to put out the fire, you didn't see those things with your own eyes, how do you know so many things," I asked calmly, but I couldn't help but have a hint of doubt in my tone.
"Yes, you are clean, you didn't go to put out the fire just now, aren't you from the village, how do you know these things," Linzi also said.
"Of course I know a lot of things, and I know about your brother."
The old man kept his head down, and his tone was flat, but with a sense of majesty.
"My brother" Linzi's eyes widened.
"Yes, I know that you have not been able to let go of his death, and you have a lot of questions in your heart, right?"
asked the old man.
Linzi's eyes were red, and he nodded, "Yes, do you know why my parents used their own flesh and blood to sacrifice to the gods, and how could my brother's body be soaked in a water urn?"
The old man said that Linzi's parents didn't want to use their own flesh and blood, but there was another reason for this, and the old man didn't say it.
After a pause, the old man continued: "As for why your brother's body was soaked in a water urn, it is because your mother has never been able to let go of his death and wants to see him again in her lifetime. ” "It was my mother who soaked my brother's body" "Yes, because she wants to resurrect him, she can't let him rot, and put it in the water urn in the cellar just to be as if."
After hearing this, Linzi couldn't understand it even more, so he asked the old man why Linzi's mother didn't want his brother to die so much, why did she sacrifice him to kill him.
"Because you caused your brother's death, in other words, he died for you."
The old man said.
