The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 244
Seeing that the sun was about to set and there was only a smear of sunset glow in the sky, the villagers of Zuoer Village gathered around the entrance of the village as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

I secretly thought something was wrong, but now that Fatty and Wang Yuanchao are unconscious, how can I deal with the group of villagers in front of me by myself?What's more, I don't even have a dick thing on me.

I don't know why, but at the critical moment, I suddenly thought of Miss Si. He had worked so hard to lure the three of us here. How could he let us die at the hands of a group of ignorant villagers?

But I waited left and right, but I didn't see the figure of the fourth girl.

After the old village chief came over, he began to give orders to the villagers, picking a few strong villagers to lift us up.

"Village chief, as long as we dedicate them to the Stove Lord, the whole village can have a big meal. It's amazing!" A villager said with bright eyes.

"That is, when the Stove Lord first appeared, everyone ate comfortably and comfortably, but within a year, everyone's ears were dedicated to the Stove Lord. We had to cut off the ears of those who entered the mountain and follow the Stove Lord. The prince changed the big meal, now that the government has closed the mountain, it is difficult for us to get fresh ears, these dolls are delivered to our door by themselves, don't blame us..." The old village chief swallowed his saliva when he said this.

"Folks, remember that every household brings bowls and chopsticks. As the village head, I will never eat alone, everyone has a share!" The old village head raised his arms and shouted.

In response to the old village head was a burst of jubilant cheers.

Old men and women in their 80s and [-]s, and children down to a few years old, all held a bowl with their dirty hands, and did not wipe their mouths full of saliva, but just stared at us frantically.Just like in "Journey to the West", the monster saw the Tang monk's flesh.

Seeing this scene, I seem to feel that I have become Tang Monk, Wang Yuanchao has become Monk Sha, the fat man has become Zhu Bajie, and the fourth girl is the Monkey King who has not come for a long time.

I don't know what I'm thinking, anyway, the more I think about it, the more scared I become, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that these villagers are a bunch of cannibals!

When several strong men carried us through the crowd, the lazy man suddenly yelled: "Wait a minute! Village Chief, doesn't the Stove Lord love the ears of fresh water spirits the most? Cut them off alive in front of his old man, so that we can eat fresh water." In exchange for more feasts."

"But look at these guys, all of them are hungry, with their hearts sticking to their backs, and their faces are yellow and thin. I'm afraid the Stove Lord won't like it." The lazy man said awkwardly.

"Yes, the lazy man is right."

"It's different for lazy people who have read books." The villagers echoed.

After hearing what the lazy man said, the old village chief walked up to us, checked carefully, and even touched my belly.I quickly closed my eyes, held my breath, and tried not to let the old village chief find out that I was awake, but my stomach still let out a groan from the hunger.

"Well, I'm hungry. Feed them ear-cutting rice! Then let's go on the road. The time is coming soon, and Lord Stove will be angry if the time is delayed." The old village chief nodded and said when he heard my stomach growling.

And I got goosebumps when I heard it.

What the hell is ear-cut rice?Is it the same as the decapitation meal in the prison, after eating, he will go to the execution ground.

I couldn't help shivering, but the villagers opened our mouths involuntarily and stuffed a bowl of yellow brown rice in. Although I was extremely hungry, I couldn't eat a single bite.

Intense fear has taken over my whole body.

The villagers fed them a couple of mouthfuls indiscriminately, and poured some water, which was considered to be the completion of the ceremony of 'cutting the ear rice'.

In a daze, I felt that I was being carried into a wooden frame. I quietly opened my eyes and looked, only to be horrified to find that the so-called wooden frame turned out to be a red coffin!
The surrounding area was so dark that I couldn't see the real appearance of the coffin, but I could clearly smell the faint rotten smell released from the coffin.

The villagers of Zuoer Village are frankly frugal, so many dead people have been put in this coffin. Maybe every time they catch outsiders, they will stuff them into this coffin and offer it to Lord Stove.

After Fatty and Wang Yuanchao were also loaded into the other two coffins, the villagers, led by the village chief, carried us to the back of the mountain.

Seeing that no one noticed me, I secretly sat up from the coffin and took the opportunity to observe the surrounding situation!

Behind the three coffins is a dense team, at least there must be hundreds of people. It seems that the whole village has been mobilized.

These villagers all wore sackcloth and filial piety, their lips and eyes were horribly painted with blood, and they held birthday peaches, red tasseled spears, erhu, gongs and drums and other costumes for singing operas.

The twelve strong men who carried the coffin at the head were wearing bright red costumes and a big red flower on their chests. The red and white colors of this team gave me a strong visual impact.

The old village chief led the way alone with a green lantern in front of him.

Now the sun had already set, and the whole team walked on the dim mountain road, looking very intrusive, like a team of dark soldiers entering the mountain.

And we who are packed in three coffins are like sacrifices to the Yin God.

Every time the villagers passed a mountain pass, they sang folk songs that I couldn't understand in a thick Henan accent, and then continued to walk forward, repeating this action.

This should be the custom of Zuo Er Village, right?But no matter how you look at it, how do you feel awkward.

But these villagers didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, they enjoyed it and sang folk songs at the top of their voices, even children.I saw that the veins on their necks were bulging, and their eyeballs were also swollen due to blood congestion, but the more they sang, the more energetic they sang. In addition, they were painted as human beings, and one ear was missing. The more it makes me feel like a starving ghost reincarnated in their hell.

The weird folk songs float back and forth in the gloomy back mountain.

I was also flustered, and I didn't know how the Stove Lord could take such a bite and turn a good village into a paradise for crazy people.I had no choice but to force myself to close my eyes, not to look at these villagers.

The mountain road was not far or near, and it took about two hours to walk, when the old village chief who was holding a lantern in front of the team shouted: "Stop!"

The mighty team stopped the car immediately. I was startled by the sudden movement. I picked up the coffin and looked out. I don’t know when we have come to the center of the dark mountains. There is a small river at the foot of the mountain. Pass.

A tall stage has been set up with bamboo poles on the river, and the four pillars supporting the stage are covered with red paint, just like the gates of hell in the underworld!
