Volume Two, Dusty Memories, Chapter 17, The Price

"Hurry up and cover the children's eyes." The old village chief's son shouted. The adults felt their scalps go numb and quickly covered the dolls beside them.
The great-grandfather was curious about what happened, and peeked through the gap between her mother's fingers. At that glance, the great-grandfather turned pale with fright, and felt that his little heart was so frightened that it almost slowed down.
"Let's go! Come all back!" At this time, the village chief's son had become the mainstay of the group. With an order, the adults hurriedly took the children and swarmed back. Father Ni Loach went crazy, Father Pihou lost his life, and the two women
Jia also passed out. The corpses of the loach and the skin monkey had become ominous objects in everyone's eyes. They just carried the three still alive adults and left Hulukou in a hurry.
At this time, the great-grandfather seemed to have lost his soul and soul, and was being held by his mother, but once his eyes were closed, the appearance of two corpses emerged.
A group of people hurried back to the village, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they discovered something was wrong. The usually bustling village was now deserted, and the old, weak, women and children who stayed in the village did not know where they had gone. After what happened before,
Everyone was even more nervous and shouted the names of their loved ones loudly. The call was quickly answered, and everyone felt a little more at ease.
After listening carefully, his relatives were hiding in the room, as if they were afraid of something. The village son quickly asked the villagers to ask what happened. After asking, he found out that there were two more terrifying bodies in the center of the village.
Corpse.
Corpses? Two horrific corpses?
The village chief's son felt his scalp numb. It seemed that his village had offended something he couldn't afford to offend.
"What should I do?" a villager asked in a low voice, mixed with the sadness of not being able to return home.
"Hey, I want to see what happens under the bright sky." The village chief's son was already panicking, so he could only pretend to be strong.
However, when the others saw the village chief's son being so determined, they felt a little confident and naturally headed towards the center of the village. From a distance, they saw the two corpses lying on the ground, and the blood was drained from everyone's faces in an instant.
.Because they recognized them at a glance as Loach and Skin Monkey. The reason was because the backs of the bodies of Loach and Skin Monkey had turned into white bones, half human and half full of bones. I am afraid that anyone would recognize them just by looking at them.
I won't forget it again.
"Mountain God, please take back the loaches and skin monkeys, we don't want them anymore." At this time, the village chief's son regretted going to find the two babies, and quickly knelt down and begged the mountain god to take back the two babies. All the villagers also felt deeply afraid at this time, and also
Then he knelt down and begged.
As soon as the villagers finished wailing, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and a violent storm would come at the next moment. The villagers had never seen such a situation before. They were so frightened that they couldn't even stand upright. They lay on the ground and cried loudly. A bolt of lightning struck in the distance.
On the top of a mountain, the villagers were so frightened that they all lay on the ground crying and begging, turning into a ball of headless flies.
"Quickly, bury these two people." At this time, the old village chief's voice slowly sounded.
The old village chief was carried back by the villagers. He didn't know when he woke up. After saying these words, he passed out again. The man who was supporting the old village chief felt his heart skip a beat and quickly felt the old village chief's pulse.
, and then cried loudly: "The village chief is gone."
"Dad!" The voice of the village chief's son has become hysterical, and his whole body is disheveled, which is no longer much different from madness.
"Village Chief." Everyone regarded the old village chief as their backbone, and this was a fatal blow to the village.
"Get started and bury these two scourges!" The village chief's son's eyes were now red, as if he wanted to eat people, and he word by word fell out from between his teeth.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sky was about to fall. The villagers quickly took action. Now, the bodies of the two children have become ominous objects. The last few brave people tied the two children with ropes.
The two corpses were pulled out and buried. When the last trace of loess covered the two little corpses, the black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, leaving behind a brilliant rainbow.
The two babies died and were dragged away for burial. They were buried without even a straw mat. What was left was a touch of the most desolate wind blowing, but it could not disperse the bright seven colors in the sky.
But the matter did not end like this. This time, the old village chief and Pihou's father were killed. The whole village regarded Ni Loach and Pihou's family as disaster stars. On weekdays, they only beat and scolded them and bullied them. Ni Loach's mother finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Because of other people's gossip, he took several children and threw them all into the river. Skin monkey's mother also
So he hanged himself, leaving behind three babies who were barely able to walk. The fate of these three babies is also heartbreaking. Two of them starved to death and were killed by others. One of them was picked up by a wild dog at some point.
When he was found, the contents of the baby's stomach had been eaten clean by wild dogs.
There was also a loach dad who was crazy about picking up garbage to fill his stomach. Just a month after this incident, someone found the smelly loach dad in a broken mill, and his whole head had been gnawed away by rats.
The natural disaster killed two children, but Renyan killed two families. The most ironic thing is that when the villagers saw that both families were dead, they thought that the matter was over, so they celebrated with firecrackers.
For a long time, it sounded to my great-grandfather's ears like a death knell, ringing the prelude to the death of the entire village.
As expected, the matter did not end with this, and the village began to experience successive years of drought. Although other places also encountered droughts, there were some harvests, but this village had no harvest.
In the fifth year, the things on the ground miraculously sprouted after being planted, and everyone was ecstatic. But one month before the ears were set, all the rice roots were rotten, and many people in the village went crazy at that moment. Then.
Some people found that the animals raised at home rotted from the inside to the outside, but those animals did not die until their skins were rotten. After falling down, the entire animal would have numerous small openings, and countless maggots would crawl out of it.
Just like this, the village received a fatal blow. All the villagers' savings had been wiped out in five years. In order to survive, everyone began to resort to any means. The whole village was shrouded in a layer of stench and shadow, and every person who died faced death.
Before they die, they will utter a rhyme: This is the price.
That's why Grandpa Tai would rather go into the mountains than go back to the purgatory on earth. However, the momentum he had before coming completely disappeared the moment he saw the thick fog, leaving only memories that twitched his nerves. Grandpa Tai felt uncomfortable.
Able to bang his head against a tree.
Grandpa didn’t know how long the collision lasted, and there was already blood on his forehead. In the end, he didn’t have the courage to walk into the thick fog. The desperate grandpa turned around and left to face the carrion and corpses outside.
Chapter completed!
