Raiders of Abuse Scum

After sleeping until dawn, Jiujiu opened her eyes and went downstairs to eat.

Zhang Jinkang was already waiting for Jiujiu downstairs.

Seeing Jiujiu coming down, Zhang Jinkang's eyes were filled with envy.

Jiujiu finished breakfast under Zhang Jinkang's envious eyes.

After dinner, it was naturally impossible for the two of them to stay in the inn, so Jiujiu offered to go out for a walk to see if they could find some more evidence.

And Lijia Village has basically been to the places that can be visited, Jiujiu thought about it, and took Zhang Jinkang to the previous shop that sold incense and paper money.

It is also strange to say that this incense and paper money shop was very busy with people coming and going, but today it is deserted and empty.

Jiujiu stood at the door and knocked on the door. The shop owner raised his head in response. After seeing Jiujiu, he was stunned for a while, and smiled at Jiujiu, "Little girl, you are here."

Jiujiu walked into the shop, "Why is no one here today?"

"He has been here, and they dare not come."

"Who is he?"

"Sacrifice." The store owner's face was filled with indelible sorrow, "little girl, when the sacrifice is over, you can go as far as you can. Don't spend your whole life in this kind of ghost place like me."

The shop owner's words sounded very meaningful.

Jiujiu, who just wanted to turn around, sat on the stool directly, looked at the shop owner and asked, "Boss, can you tell me the story of Lijiacun?"

"The story of Li Family Village?"

The boss parted his mouth and showed a sarcasm smile, then sat up straight and sighed, "Forget it, I have nothing to do today, so let me tell you the story of Lijia Village.

Our Lijia Village used to have a population of 5,000. "

After the boss finished speaking, he slapped Jiujiu.

Hearing that the boss said five thousand people, Zhang Jinkang immediately said, "This is impossible,"

Although the size of this village is large, it doesn't look like it can be built by 500 people, but it can't be exaggerated to have 5,000 people.

His own words were questioned, and the store owner's expression turned a little dark for a moment. He glanced at Zhang Jinkang sullenly, and said coldly, "If you don't believe me, then go out."

Zhang Jinkang was very clear about the temper of these npcs, and quickly apologized, "I made a slip of the tongue, the boss can't be blamed."

Regarding Zhang Jinkang's apology, the boss snorted and continued to tell Jiujiu, "Three hundred years ago, a mountain torrent broke out. One month later, the flood still hasn't receded. If this continues, the villagers will starve to death. Someone said , The God of the River was angry about the flash flood this time, so he had to find a pair of boys and girls to sacrifice, otherwise, the flood would not subside."

"The people in the village have been trapped on the mountain for more than a month. They have eaten everything they can eat. If the flood doesn't recede, they will eat people. After hearing such an idea, they immediately agreed.

At that time, there were more than 5,000 people in the village, and the reason why most of them escaped was because a man named Mo Xiao knocked on doors from door to door after he realized something was wrong, telling them to run for their lives.

There are quite a few people in the village who have children, but whoever’s children are their own darlings, and they are reluctant to let their children be sacrificed, so some people say, Mo Xiao is so kind, or take Mo Xiao children as sacrifices.

Although Mo Xiao was kind-hearted, he didn't want to let his own children be sacrificed. However, the villagers were so numerous that they beat Mo Xiao unconscious without waiting for Mo Xiao's consent, and took away his two children.

When Mo Xiao woke up, his child had already been sacrificed.

Strange to say, since the sacrifice, the mountain torrent really subsided, and all the villagers went back, but Mo Xiao stayed on the mountain.

Ten years passed like this. Ten years later, Mo Xiao came back suddenly, claiming to be a priest, and said that the mountain torrents would come again soon, and if he wanted to extinguish the anger of the river god, he had to use a pair of boys and girls as sacrifices. , otherwise the flash flood will erupt again.

Everyone in the village thought that Mo Xiao was not crazy because the child was gone, and they didn't take it seriously, but three days later, when the flood suddenly hit, less than half of the villagers were drowned, and those who survived chose a couple. Boys and girls were used as sacrifices for Mo Xiao to sacrifice to the river god.

Mo Xiao, on the other hand, built a river temple deep in the mountains for the villagers to worship.

As time passed, Mo Xiao wanted more and more boys and girls, until this year, there were ten pairs.

In recent years, it is not that the people in the village have not thought about going out, but Lijiacun is a cursed place. As long as there is blood in Lijiacun, they will not be able to escape at all. In a few years, when no one can be a sacrifice, I am afraid The Li family village is about to disappear completely. "

The boss didn't know why Xiaoyao sacrificed, but Jiujiu understood.

I'm afraid that Xiaoyao wants to use the lives of those children to maintain Xiaohe Xiaoshen's life.

However, Jiujiu's mentality has undergone some changes.

At first, Jiujiu was disgusted by Xiaoyao's use of children as sacrifices, but at the moment, she felt a little distressed.

He was the kindest heart at the beginning, and he was willing to risk his life to let all the villagers escape from danger, but in the end, he lost his favorite pair of children.

He wanted to choose to be kind, but reality forced him to be cruel, so he could only be cruel.

Looking at the lonely expression of the boss, Jiujiu suddenly asked, "I can ask, why do you know so much?"

The boss parted his mouth and showed a weird smile, "Because I'm his friend."

The boss's words made Zhang Jinkang's face look terrified again.

He thought that Xiaoyao and his two children were ghosts here, but he didn't expect that this seemingly normal shop owner was also abnormal.

Regarding the boss's truth, Jiujiu stood up, said thank you, then turned and left.

Before Jiujiu left, the boss chased after him instead, forced Jiujiu to stuff a pack of paper money for incense sticks, and said with a smile, "Find a place to burn it before the sacrifice."

Jiujiu thanked her, and left with the joss paper money.

Zhang Jinkang followed closely behind, but his eyes were fixed on the joss paper money in Jiujiu's hand, and his eyes rolled around in his eye sockets, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang only came to such a place that day, but knowing the reason for the sacrifice in Lijia Village was also rewarding.

Back at the inn, after dinner, Jiujiu went to wash up, while Zhang Jinkang stared at the joss paper money that Jiujiu casually put on the table in a daze.

Jiujiu finished washing and went straight to bed.

In the early morning of the next day, after the two of them went downstairs and had breakfast, they saw people coming and going outside the inn.

And the old woman who always had a gloomy face also had a rare smile on her face, and she took the initiative to say to Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang, "Tomorrow will be a sacrifice."

The longing tone on his face was really weird.

Jiujiu frowned, feeling that the matter of offering sacrifices was different from what she had imagined.

Because there were too many people outside today, Jiujiu and Zhang Jinkang did not go out.
