At around 3:00 in the afternoon on a winter day, the sky was even darker due to the snow and wind, but many families were still shoveling snow.
Xiang Wentian once again carried the motionless, blood-covered Leng You on his back, followed by Wen Jiuyue, who had a strange expression on his face, and walked through the village.
"Hey... this is..." Seeing Xiang Wentian's face which was even colder than the weather, the villagers turned their gaze to Wen Jiuyue who was wiping her eyes while walking.
"Oh! The girl from the Leng family is in bad condition?" Someone said directly and unscrupulously.
"It's really not working anymore! Tsk tsk..." There was only emotion in the voice.
"It's not such a bad thing. I don't have to be beaten and scolded all day long. Alas... what a sin!" Although there was no one from the Leng family around, someone did reveal his true feelings.
…
Many villagers stopped what they were doing and showed signs of wanting to come forward to watch.
"It is said that there are people who can come back to life after death. I believe that God can have mercy on this child." Wen Jiuyue's hoarse voice made the villagers feel a sense of eeriness.
"scare!"
“Oh my God!”
"Oh my god!"
…
The cold gossip just now turned into a scream of terror, and then everyone quickly ran back home.
The villagers, feeling the chill all the way to the soles of their feet, forgot to think about one question, that is, Xiang Huaixin lived in the northwest corner of the village, and Wen Jiuyue lived in the north of the village, and there was no need to pass through the village to travel between the two places.
So, before Leng You and his companions arrived at Wen Jiuyue's home, Leng You had already died. Wen Jiuyue, who had always liked Leng You and wanted to adopt her, went crazy due to the shock and carried the dead body back home. The news had spread throughout the Daheishan Village.
The next morning, another shocking piece of news quickly spread throughout the village. It was said that the man surnamed Bai who lived in the basement room in the west of the village had been staring with his eyes wide open and shouting all night long.
"Grandpa Bai, all my blood has been drained out. It hurts so much!"
"Grandpa Bai, why didn't you save me?"
"Grandpa Bai, I'm back to see you. I'll come back to see you every day from now on."
…
What's even more horrifying is that the girl from the Leng family, who had already died, suddenly sat up straight before the rooster crowed in the early morning. She didn't move or speak, but just stared in the direction of her home with her pair of red eyes.
After the rooster crowed three times, he suddenly lay down straight again. His cold body seemed to have regained some temperature, but he was still without breath.
Such horrific news was like a bomb to the originally remote, impoverished and peaceful Daheishan Village, and everyone in it was horrified.
Although they had just experienced a long ten-year special period, the superstitious factor deeply rooted in the bones of the people of Daheishan Village had not been erased at all. They were absolutely sure that it was Leng You's wronged spirit with overwhelming resentment after his death that attached itself to Baichangpu's body.
After a lot of trouble, he found that he could not get rid of any resentment, so he returned to his own body with the help or blessing of some demons and monsters. In other words, Leng You was not resurrected, but was pretending to be dead.
As for who will be hunted down next, although the answer is self-evident, countless people were already scared to death the moment they heard the news.
The part that wasn't scared to death was also trying to recall or reflect on whether they had ever done anything to take advantage of this poor and helpless child in the past eight years.
The final answer is that even if not, at least they ignore this tragedy with an extremely indifferent heart, even though sometimes just a little effort from them can save the child from danger.
So before noon, no one in Daheishan Village was bothered to sweep the snow. To be more precise, they no longer dared to come out to sweep the snow. Every family kept their doors tightly closed, for fear that the evil spirit would wander over their heads inadvertently.
The unusually silent mountain village, the gloomy sky, and the increasingly dense and large snowflakes all add to the extremely terrifying and weird feeling.
Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu, who had just finished sweeping the snow and returned to the dim printing room, were now sitting in front of a stove built with adobe bricks, waiting contentedly for the fragrant sweet potatoes in the stove to be cooked.
“Although Xiao Tiancai was only eight years old when we left Pingdu, which is about the same age as Xiao Youyou is now, I could tell at first glance that he was an extraordinary boy.
Remember the first two years when we were sent to the suburbs? I don't know how the little guy managed to suddenly appear in front of us once a month.
A small person, carrying a bag that is almost as big as himself, with a stern face that looks exactly like yours, taking out various foods from the bag one by one.
It was precisely because of this that we were able to survive the most difficult years of hunger.
If it was because the distance was relatively close then, but now this remote little village is more than a thousand kilometers away from Ping. This kid is only fifteen years old, but he dared to get here by himself by riding on a train. This is definitely a courage that most adults cannot have. "
Bai Changlu's eyes were filled with admiration that was about to overflow.
"This brat has been rebellious since he was young. He looks quiet, but he is actually very stubborn. No matter what you say, he has his own ideas.
Back then, he just went with his mother to see me in the suburbs of Pingdu once, and later he dared to secretly hitchhike there alone.
His mother was terribly frightened at first, but after a few times, she actually felt relieved and instead prepared food for him to deliver every month.
This actually emboldened him to get even bolder and hop on the train to come here again today.
If you want to teach him a lesson, you have to teach him a lesson, otherwise he will be in big trouble in the future!"
Xiang Huaixin pretended to have a stern face, but his words had already revealed the pride and satisfaction his father had for his "satisfactory work".
"Brother Xiang, you are being a little unkind! Killing people is not the right path, you are really being mean! You know that my two sons are weak, but you still use these words to poke my heart.
Alas! That’s right, a good father will have a good son! "
Bai Acorus sighed and shook his head in great disappointment.
This is indeed the regret of his life——
Of the two sons, the eldest son inherited his legacy, but his qualifications were mediocre and he could not live up to the title of the Bai family's traditional Chinese medicine master;
Relatively speaking, the younger son had higher qualifications, but he had no interest in medicine. After entering the factory, he was still tinkering with a bunch of bottles and jars all day long, saying that he was doing scientific research.
When the movement came, the father and his two sons were sent to different places, and they have not seen each other for five years.
It is hard to imagine to what extent the eldest son’s medical skills have deteriorated due to working in the fields all day long, and it is even more conceivable that the youngest son must have reached a point where he can’t even touch bottles and jars.
"Your two sons are pretty good, pretty good... at least they wouldn't do anything to hurt their father, right?
Unlike that brat Wen Tian, he made his father, who had been upright all his life, do such a shameful thing as spreading rumors, which really ruined the wisdom of Xiang Huaixin for a lifetime.
Alas! A lifetime of wisdom, ruined in an instant! "
Xiang Huaixin felt like beating his chest when he thought about how he, a general who had once made the enemies tremble in fear on the battlefield, was actually spreading rumors about Leng You's "resurrection" throughout the village at the instigation of his own son.
