But Huang Yi’s disagreement was of no use. Fortunately, the village elders asked their family to send him to the ancestral hall.
He said, "This is the arrangement of our ancestors. We have to worship the gods in this life and for generations to come..."
It was still three days, and after three days, Huang Yi cleaned up the remains of the old village chief.
He was scared at that time, "I thought about running away, and I did it. I even asked them to go with me..."
But it was useless. At first, some young people thought it was too weird.
What kind of god needs human sacrifice?
Isn’t this a cult and a feudal society?
But it seemed like someone was really watching them. Whenever Huang Yi wanted to leave, it would rain in the village.
Every time.
"The rain never stopped," Huang Yi said with a pale smile, "It seems to know what we are thinking. As long as we have the idea of running away, the rain in the village will not stop."
So there were those thirty-four years.
The rain fell for thirty-four years.
Finally Huang Yi collapsed, and those who wanted to escape also collapsed.
Some people couldn't bear it and rushed out, and never came back.
"I was less than 30 years old that year, and I just accepted my fate." Huang Yi looked out the window, "I accepted my fate, we all accepted our fate."
But they did not tell the next generation about the village legend.
Nowadays, those who go out to work in the village are young people in their teens and twenties.
Whether they go out to study or work, they are not allowed to stay in the village.
"They can leave, but we also found a problem. It seems that those who leave can rarely have children. They..." Huang Yi's voice trembled, and his eyes revealed despair. "What the old village chief said is true. We should stay here..."
Everyone present fell silent.
This story sounds so weird and messy.
It takes some time to sort out.
Xie Xiao looked at Huang Yi, who was full of despair, and said, "In fact, many young people nowadays also have difficulty in giving birth..."
"No, they went for a physical check-up and found nothing wrong. But there are very few children born in the village now." Huang Yi looked outside, "As for us, it seems that after this life, this village will be completely gone."
In fact, there are also people who don’t want to go out to work. They want to stay in the village. They can’t understand why their families let them go out as soon as they become adults, whether to go to school or work, and rarely let them go home during festivals...
Huang Yi felt sad. Many times they knew that many of the things they did were wrong, but they just wanted to live...
Who doesn't want to live?
He glanced at his wife and his college sweetheart, but when he came home, it was raining...
There's no going back.
Just like him, I am trapped here forever.
Everyone was so stunned by the sadness in Huang Yi's tone that they dared not speak.
Only Bai Ruanruan spoke at this time, her tone was calm, "In ancient times, there was no difference between humans and livestock to some witch gods."
Her words made everyone else present look at her.
Including Xie Xiao.
After all, everyone present except Bai Ruanruan was human, so this statement sounded quite uncomfortable.
Bai Ruanruan didn't feel anything, she just looked at Huang Yi straight, "So after the old village chief, you started to put the old people in the ancestral hall, right?"
Huang Yi's face turned pale, but he still tried to explain, "It was all voluntary from the elders..."
"Because people are useless when they get old, right?" Xie Xiao's tone turned cold, and he remembered what Huang Da and Huang Er said before, "Is it really all voluntary?"
Xie Xiao didn't believe it and just told Huang Yi what he said himself, who doesn't want to live?
Are those people who were afraid of death in the past no longer afraid of death when they get old?
This is impossible...
Even if there are some voluntary actions, it is absolutely impossible for all of them to be voluntary.
Sister Chen trembled as she spoke, "No wonder the average life expectancy is so short..."
60 years old is a death warrant.
Huang Yi and his wife didn't dare to look at them.
But Huang Yi's wife couldn't help but say, "Everyone is the same. No one will live one more day. We will die at this age..."
"Shut up!" Huang Yi growled.
His wife looked at him and kept her mouth shut.
Huang Yi raised his head and looked at them. "I know you want to call the police when you get out, but it's useless. You can't tell us what's here, and you will be back soon... It's always like this..."
After saying that, he showed a weird expression.
"Have you tried calling the police?" Sister Zhao asked in a trembling voice. She has always been timid and her emotions were on the verge of collapse at this moment.
And the knocking on the door outside did not stop, as if someone would break in at any time.
"It's useless..." Huang Yi's wife laughed bitterly, her smile was uglier than crying, "It's useless, he will come back in the end..."
She looked out the dark window, wishing she hadn't come here more than 20 years ago, and wouldn't have encountered that rain...
Bai Ruanruan frowned, not affected by their emotions, "Have you seen the things in the ancestral hall? What are they?"
She looked at Huang Yi and asked.
Huang Yi showed a horrified expression, "Of course I haven't seen it, how dare I peek..."
He hesitated for a second, glanced at the door that was still knocking, and said, "I haven't seen it before..."
Xie Xiao could tell that he must be hiding something.
At this moment, a baby's cry suddenly came from outside the window.
The sound was so loud that people in the room could still hear it clearly even with the doors and windows closed.
"Whose child is this..." Sister Zhao asked in a trembling voice.
Sister Chen leaned close to her, her voice full of fear, "But there are no children in the village..."
So where did the child's crying come from?
Xie Xiao noticed that Huang Yi's body was trembling, and he watched the sweat dripping down Huang Yi's forehead.
Even his wife sensed that something was wrong with him and reached out to hold his hand, "Old Huang..."
Huang Yi listened to the clear cry of a baby beside his ear and looked out the window with a desperate look in his eyes.
Although they were afraid of rain in the past, they have actually gotten used to it.
But this time it was different, there was a knock on the door...
The most important thing is that the things in the ancestral hall came out...
That cry, he had heard it before...
Right outside the ancestral hall!
Xie Xiao asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Bai Ruanruan, who was standing by, reached out and held Xie Xiao's hand. She had heard this annoying voice before.
It was only a long time ago, but I didn't expect these things to still be alive! And they make quite a few noises.
Bai Ruanruan was a little annoyed. If she had known earlier, she would have taken Xie Xiao away earlier.
Now things might be a bit troublesome.
Huang Yi's teeth chattered up and down for a while, and finally he spoke, "Did you hear the crying? Didn't you ask me what I had seen in the ancestral hall?"
"I haven't seen it, but I have heard this sound. It came from the ancestral hall."
Along with this were the sounds of humans wailing in pain and chewing.
