The syllables emanating from the mouth of the young man leading the team made Fan Jinghuan feel uncomfortable all over, as if something kept whispering in his ears.
The village slowly emerged before his eyes. He had not been home for ten years.
He couldn't remember how he left, but his life of living under someone else's roof for more than ten years had not been easy.
Every time I look at my aunt's family, I feel like I can never fit into this family.
In the middle of the night, Fan Jinghuan is always covered with a quilt and wiping tears, thinking about how great it would be if his parents were by his side all the time.
When his parents appeared, they turned a blind eye to him, which he couldn't accept.
After entering the village, the dense flow of people dispersed and walked towards various parts of the village.
Looking at his parents who had left, Fan Jinghuan took a deep look at Lu Zeyu and chased after his parents.
Lu Zeyu walked numbly towards his home, knowledge constantly emerging in his mind.
When he saw the knowledge part, Lu Zeyu couldn't help but sneer.
"It's all a made-up ritual and it actually believes it to be true. It's really ridiculous."
Wang Hui's unwilling eyes deeply impressed Lu Zeyu's mind. Will he be the next one?
"No, I've seen its location."
His sister's voice rang in his ears again. Lu Zeyu slumped on the chair and said with exhaustion:
"Sister, where have you been?"
Mao Mao stood on Lu Zeyu's shoulder, thought carefully and said:
"What you can't understand, it's better not to know."
"good."
After a while, my sister asked doubtfully:
"I can already smell its fragrance. Don't you want to go and have a look?"
"I'm so tired, I want to rest."
Lu Zeyu couldn't open his eyes due to the exhaustion all over his body, and what the mountain god gave him was just giving him a splitting headache.
He could no longer open his eyelids and fell into a drowsy sleep.
"The human body is really too fragile. Go ahead and devour it. Go ahead and devour the supreme delicacy."
These were the last words Lu Zeyu heard before he woke up.
A rapid knock on the door broke Lu Zeyu's dream.
The giants in the sky still looked down on the village, their numbers undiminished.
"I have worked hard for so long, but it is all in vain."
Lu Zeyu laughed sarcastically.
"Here, who is it?"
The old wooden door opened with a creak, and a lean man sat on the doorstep.
He turned his head and was about to say something, but when he saw Lu Zeyu, he asked in disbelief:
"Brother-in-law?"
Hearing this voice, the back figure in my mind became clearer.
"Uncle!"
Seeing his long-lost relatives, Lu Zeyu said enthusiastically:
"Uncle, come in quickly, come in quickly."
Ignoring Lu Zeyu's enthusiasm, his uncle said seriously:
"Why are you back here? What deal did you make with that monster?"
Ignoring his uncle's question, Lu Zeyu walked towards the kitchen.
But his uncle kept chattering behind him, and his body, which had become skin and bones, was heartbreaking.
With tears streaming down his eyes, Lu Zeyu came to the kitchen and hugged his uncle, saying softly:
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's okay, it's okay."
But the uncle turned a blind eye to all this, gently touched Lu Zeyu's face with his hand and said in silence:
"It was me who harmed you! It was me who harmed you!"
At the dinner table, my uncle, who was devouring his food, kept asking those questions.
"I became a mountain priest, and he is willing to make a deal with me, which is to put you back."
When my uncle heard this, he stopped wolfing down his food and cursed:
"Confused, confused, people here will be able to leave in another ten years. When will you be able to leave after you become a priest?"
"If the driver dies and the car breaks down, no one can get out of this world."
After hearing this, the uncle slumped down in his chair, his eyes lost their energy, and he kept mumbling.
"I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for you!"
"What happened to my uncle?"
Looking at his old uncle who had become so skinny and skinny, Lu Zeyu couldn't help but ask.
The old uncle's eyes were full of fear, he looked around and covered his mouth and shook his head.
Lu Zeyu used the priest's ability to drive away the surrounding red threads.
The giant looked here, glanced briefly and then looked away.
"Uncle, it won't hear it. Believe me, I am its priest. I have this right."
The uncle remained unmoved, and after Lu Zeyu's repeated pleas, he finally began to tell the story of the village.
"One day a meteorite fell here, and everything started going wrong."
The uncle struggled to recall everything that had happened.
"No one could get to the meteorite at first, and no one noticed. Later, no one could go out. No matter how they walked, they would return to the village."
Suck! Suck!
The uncle quickly scooped up the porridge in the bowl and continued to tell what happened.
"That group of mysterious black figures appeared in the sky. He is making a deal with everyone. If one person is replaced by another, if one person leaves, the other person will stay here for ten years."
Hearing this, Lu Zeyu couldn't help but ask:
"Then no one resisted?"
Upon hearing this, my uncle laughed and said:
"Yes, someone disobeyed and the whole family disappeared."
"Where are you going?"
"You don't want to know, keep going."
"When everyone had chosen who to leave, a bus came. I should have stayed, but I went out."
Lu Zeyu thought carefully and said:
"Is it because of my aunt?"
"She was a little girl at the time, and she was willing to give me her place after just a few words of deception. She also said it was because of love."
The uncle wiped his tears when he said this, and Lu Zeyu continued to ask:
"Then why are you back again?"
"I feel bad about it. When I got here, I didn't save anyone but was caught by it. I might as well have stayed here."
"Then do you want to see her later?"
The uncle shook his head and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"What are you looking at, letting her see me like this?"
"Uncle, do you know Bailu?"
Lu Zeyu asked tentatively.
"Bai Lu, there is no one named Bai in our village?"
"ah?"
Facing his uncle's answer, Lu Zeyu looked quite confused.
Since Bailu has nothing to do with this village, why did he come here?
According to the current situation, everyone who comes here should have something to do with the village.
Wang Hui and Fan Jinghuan were both from this village and were sent away in the first place.
"Uncle, where did that meteorite fall?"
The uncle held his head, his face distorted by the severe pain.
"I can't remember."
"In the cornfield."
Sister's voice appeared again, reminding Lu Zeyu where the meteorite fell.
"I can already smell the delicious food that doesn't belong to this world. I have never enjoyed it after being here for so long."
