Chapter 149

The child was put on the firewood pile. He lowered his head and closed his eyes. I could not see the movement. I bit my lip and knew that he was still alive.

The men began to kneel down, the women knelt down, the torches were put aside, and they began to sing the so-called hymn.

I looked around carefully with my head down. There were gloomy songs, unintelligible songs, the flat ground without a breath of wind in the middle of the night, and the children tied to the firewood.

The village head opened his eyes and looked at me fiercely. I didn't dare to look up again and lowered my head. The chanting around me became louder and louder. It seemed to be integrated with the picture in my mind. My head began to repeat the pain of the previous few days.

I don't know when the singing has already stopped. The village head holds a torch and shouts three times. He throws the torch into the firewood pile. Looking at the blazing fire, I can see the beating flames in front of me. My eyes are out of focus. I can only see the bright and dark flames. There is a fierce cry in my ear, mixed with the crackling sound of firewood burning.

is as like as two peas. It's really like the scene in my dream.

Gradually I couldn't hear the sound. I could only see the flames burning higher and higher. People's faces painted with patterns couldn't see their facial features clearly. They all had the same religious appearance

Still have, still have the mother of the child, kneel down in the crowd, tear heart crack lung of cry cry, fall on the ground, but have no way.

Everything in front of me coincides with the scene in my mind, and I gradually can't see it. Only with the sense of despair, suffocation and helplessness, which are wrapped by heavy flames and bound by hands and feet, my hands and feet begin to soften.

I don't know how long it took. Suddenly, I felt as if I was in the warm and cool water, as if I was soaking in the warm swimming pool in summer. The feeling of comfort made me feel refreshed. The fire had burned out, and the men had cleaned up the venue, as if nothing had happened, but there was still some smell in the air, disgusting.

The village head said in a low voice in local dialect, the villagers looked at ease, and they were less alert and defensive to me. The women were smiling, and the children were following their parents blindly.

The sacrifice was over. I went back to my room with my wife unconsciously. I didn't remember anything after the fire started. I was sweating and lying on the bed with weak hands and feet.

Qin Li held my hand tightly and asked me anxiously, "what's the matter with you?"

I pursed my lips and shook my head: "it's OK, I dream of those things, and my dream experience, which is integrated with the scene just now, and I fell into those pictures all of a sudden, and I didn't come back."

Qin Li's face was a little ugly. He wiped the sweat off my face for me.

"You've just turned pale. I yelled in your ear for several times, but I didn't respond. Since you started to close your eyes, you've been sweating layer by layer. The woman changed your clothes for you."

Sure enough, the robe had been taken off, but I didn't know how to explain it to Qin Li, so I could only shake my head: "don't worry, it's really OK. The dream and reality made me confused all of a sudden, and now I'll come back."

But Qin Li still frowned: "you shouldn't have seen these things."

After listening to the ceremony, I regret that Qin agreed to attend.

I looked at Qin Li with a smile and explained: "let me face all this directly, but it can solve many things and solve many puzzles in my heart. I don't want you to feel guilty for this."

But Qin Li is still a look of remorse, I can only hold his hand to divert his attention: "I just didn't notice anything, you? Do you feel anything? "

Although Qin Li's face was still very ugly, it was not as deep as before. Shen Ning said to me for a moment, "when I just sacrificed, there was a ghost."

Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment. It was the first time I heard the word ghost. I looked at Qin Li doubtfully: "what is it like? Does his presence make any difference? Is it different from ghosts? "

Qin Li nodded, things are more difficult than he thought, if it is a ghost, he can easily solve, but this time is not the same.

"The ghost is different from the ghost. It exists by eating the sacrifice, that is, the soul of the child, and the belief of these villagers." Qin Li explained.

I came into contact with the ghost for the first time, but looking at Qin Li's face, I knew that he was not a layman: "is it difficult to solve? If we can't solve it, we should try our best to retreat. "

Qin Li looked at me with dark eyes. After a long time, he said, "I know that I will protect you and myself. There are some differences between ghost and ghost. I'm afraid he came here before."

After listening to this, I just feel the panic in my heart rising slowly, with the goose bumps on my skin spreading all over my body.

I comforted myself for a long time, and then I slowly suppressed the inner horror.

"Is there no way to find this ghost?"

after thinking for a moment, I asked Qin Li a question.

"There is no way to find it at present, except that it appeared in the village head's dream before."Qin Lichong showed a helpless expression on my face, and obviously had no clue about it.

Speaking of dreams, it reminds me of the miserable dream. The pious and warm faces of the villagers are in sharp contrast with the tears on the woman's face.

I don't know if it's because I witnessed the tragedy in my dream, and the scene of separation between mother and son is deeply imprinted in my mind.

No matter which mother has the heart to see her child burned alive.

It is clear that the distance between the two people is so close that as long as the mother runs a few steps, she can save her child.

But only in vain to see their October pregnancy, a little bit of life bred for the public interest on such a little bit of disappearance, this is how heartbreaking, how tragic ah!

I can't wait to think of these things burning again.

"Are they just burning children to get a good harvest! This is ridiculous! If knowledge is poor, we should read more books, learn more truth, and become a good citizen who abides by the law. They are so inhuman and insane

"If the good farmland fails to yield, we should learn better sowing knowledge and make progress in technology! Instead of stupid and ridiculous believe that only by burning children can make the village harvest! How can these people still be so stupid in such an advanced era?

maybe it's because I'm too excited and angry. Qin Li didn't dare to take my words.
