Chapter XXXIX

After saying this, Uncle Wei Jun was silent for a long time, then looked at me and said, "Your name is Chen Chengyi, right?" I'll just call you Chengyi, you are a Taoist priest, you come to tell me, is it really my father's ghost that night I saw? ”

I don't know what to say when I look at Liu Erye like this, I can't describe the sadness, goodbye in ten days, I thought I could be relied on, but I didn't want to be separated from my father by life and death.

I can only say to Uncle Wei Jun like this: "He has an unfulfilled wish, and he has come to repay his obsession." ”

"Is this town his obsession and the safety of everyone in this town?"

"He is a true Taoist, he knows what morality is, he understands the right way." I remembered that old man Liu told me that he was a hero, it seems that it really is, from beginning to end, the performance of this little person is as unhesitating as ever, connecting the whole story, you will find that he has not considered himself at all.

"Hehe, thank you for saying this about my father, I'm so proud. That's all I want to tell you about the story, and what I can tell you is that we who stick to the town are a group of people who have been deprived of their lifespan, and you know that those poor people outside the house will not live to be fifty years old, but in order to prevent this 'poison' from harming their blood relatives, they must stick to this town and wait for the light that will come one day! As for me, I have not been deprived of my life, but I have been deprived of my health, and this is still under the so-called 'shelter', in short, I pray for a prayer, and I have to pay a price. You also know that I have no less than a dozen diseases on my body now, hehe, I can tell you responsibly, pull me to the hospital for examination, and you will find that I have no less than five types of cancer. Uncle Wei Jun was tired after talking for so long, and the last paragraph was particularly laborious, and he had already leaned back on the chair lazily after finishing speaking.

I looked at this person in shock and sadness, I don't know how to express the feelings in my heart, he was plagued by more than a dozen diseases, and he was so strong and guarded, although I didn't know what he was guarding, and the story ended inexplicably, I still respected this ordinary person from the heart.

I can't imagine what kind of pain people have to endure when they are plagued by more than a dozen diseases, knowing that in this world, people who are suffering from a single type of cancer or a disease feel that life is simply unbearable! But he is still alive, just like this, alive for the protection of his heart.

"You're a hero, and being alive is sometimes a hero. I think that life that is not empty is meaningful, and you have evolved this meaning to the extreme. When I say this, it is not a compliment, but an impulsive emotion in my heart that has to be vented, and I am not only sincere, but a kind of piety.

In front of him, some people easily give up their lives, which is simply a humble comparison.

"Sometimes, a certain kind of right persistence will make anyone a hero, and I am very happy that people are still chasing and dreaming of heroes, which is the most positive energy in this world. Take a look at this, take your time, and tell me tomorrow about your decision! That's all I can explain to you, and my ability to solve every puzzle is limited, but I hope you can. While speaking, Uncle Wei Jun took out something from his body with some great difficulty and solemnly placed it on the table.

I saw that it was a yellowed letter, which, judging by the creases, had been read many times.

I know that this is the obsession of Liu Erye's ghost, and the letter that will be sent back after returning to the soul within the agreed time, so I also picked up the letter on the table with a solemn mood and carefully put it away.

"Still have questions?" Uncle Wei Jun's breath was terrible, and it seemed that he had reached the limit.

I couldn't bear it, but there were some questions that had to be asked.

"Uncle Wei Jun, the government of this town?"

"Don't count on it, their people, in fact, changed the government once, and I always felt that a few of them didn't seem to be so simple, but then they became their people."

After getting this answer, I suddenly grasped a key point in my heart, if the inference is not wrong, the situation here should have been reported, but if the receiver deceived the superiors and subordinates, but I frowned, thinking about something in my heart, not sure whether I should do it or not.

I was silent for a moment, then continued: "The situation in this town is so special, won't the people who come to this town say it? Also, isn't there a part of this town that has gone out? Won't they speak out? ”

"You know that people who live in one place, most of their relatives and friends are from this place, even if there is not, they slowly fade away, that is, strangers! Moreover, you have also come to this town, do you think that the people who come to this town will have the opportunity to say everything about this town? In a situation where government agencies are all umbrellas? No, even if people walk out of this town, they can't, people are 'poisoned', cursed, and if you want to live well when you go out, it's better not to mention everything in the town, otherwise you will die inexplicably, and everything will be watched by a pair of invisible eyes. ”

Hearing Uncle Wei Jun say this, my back felt cold, I looked at Uncle Wei Jun, and found that the things in this town were really terrifying when I thought about it, and the letter in my arms became extremely important.

"Also, Uncle Weijun, will there be some people in this town who are different from ordinary people, you know, I mean people like us."

"It will come, but many people's purpose is actually similar to that of the people in this town, for long, even eternal life. But they all go and never come back, you know what I mean? ”

"Uncle Weijun, I'll give you an answer tomorrow." I was silent for a while, probably knowing what I wanted to know, then stood up and solemnly said to Uncle Wei, I didn't wait to read this letter, I need to read it carefully in a completely calm manner, Uncle Wei said that he wanted an answer, obviously this is related to a certain decision of mine.

"Well, I expect you to be the ones who bring light, and I am waiting for your answer. In addition, Uncle Wei Jun paused, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and then said to me: "Actually, it is under the protection of that so-called god that I have been able to fight until now!" To be exact, it was Uncle Lin's blessing to me, which is really ironic. ”

"If you're right, it doesn't matter what the way is." This is the only comfort I can give Uncle Weijun, but it is also a sincere comfort, I know that this is his heart disease, and he wants to get rid of this.

Uncle Wei Jun waved his hand, indicating that he was going to rest, and it was a miracle that a person who had been suffering so much from time could tell me until now.

With the letter in my arms, I walked out of the room gently, inexplicably heavy and sad in my heart.

―――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――――

When I walked out of the room, I found that the old people had dispersed, and the room was still filled with a faint smell of choking smoke and food.

Old Man Liu, Ruyue and Brother Chengxin were waiting for me, when they saw me come out, they came around, Old Man Liu didn't say anything, he knew better than me about the things in this town, and Ruyue and Brother Chengxin looked at my heavy faces, but they were inexplicably a little more worried.

"Can I stay here at night?" I asked, from the moment we walked into this old building, it was already doomed that the people of this town would not be able to tolerate us.

"Stay here, there are empty rooms. In the last month, four more of our people have died of old age, and the room has been vacant. There was some sadness in Old Man Liu's tone.

With a heavy heart, I lit a cigarette, walked to the window, looked at the outskirts of this town, the Loess Mountains in the distance, and couldn't help asking: "Old man Liu, how many people are left in this town now?" ”

"Not much, a thousand? Two thousand? In short, those who can participate in the sacrifice are the backbone elements! Standing on the high platform is the core figure. "Old Man Liu knows what I want to ask.

I narrowed my eyes in the smoke, and said, "It may be a matter of tiring you to continue guarding the town for a while, and we're leaving." ”

"How?" Old Man Liu's expression couldn't help but reveal disappointment.

I took the cigarette from my mouth, looked at Mr. Liu, and said seriously: "There is no other meaning, because this town is not the source after all." ”

"What do you mean" Old Man Liu's expression suddenly became strange and excited.

"Otherwise, what else can be done?" Even if I didn't read that letter, it didn't affect my decision, that letter could give me some answers at most, the reason why I didn't say that to Uncle Wei Jun in the room just now is because of a kind of respect, respect for Liu Erye, if you don't read his letter carefully, you make a decision, it always seems very abrupt.

Old Man Liu was silent, and finally just muttered: "You are also a real Taoist family." ”

I smiled brightly and said, "Of course. ”

After saying this, I patted Brother Chengxin on the shoulder and said, "Ruyue stays here, you can find a way to get out of this town and inform everyone to gather here." ”

Brother Chengxin didn't ask me anything, at this time he had already put away his worried look, hugged his chest, and said lazily against the wall: "Well, since you have decided, so be it." I'm actually curious about what kind of existence that holy village is, and if the Kita Bay we're looking for is there! ”
