After listening to Awu¡¯s story, I finally had a general understanding of the village¡¯s secrets, but then a new mystery emerged. I asked Awu: "Since you have all taken the elixir, why do you still have to perform sacrifices every month?"
My question made Awu's face suddenly look a little strange. He said a little lonely: "That's because we have all become slaves of the Water God Although the elixir has given us a long life, in turn, we Everyone in the village has also been controlled by the elixir."
Awu told me that the original elixir, in addition to allowing people to live longer and gain extraordinary healing abilities, actually had very strong side effects. That is, people who took the elixir would feel as if they had taken drugs. It creates a strong dependence and must be swallowed again after a period of time. Once the elixir is not taken for a long time, the person taking the drug will also experience withdrawal reactions similar to drug withdrawal. And this withdrawal reaction is far more painful than drug withdrawal.
Because of this reason, coupled with the desire for immortality, the people in the village would be so frantic to kidnap tourists passing by. As for why they specifically select young women, it is because over hundreds of years, people in the village have gradually figured out a rule, that is, the sacrifices to the water god are best made by women, and the younger and more beautiful they are, the more beautiful they are. Good, because only young and beautiful women can exchange for the elixir given to them by the Water God.
This is also the reason why people in the village were so enthusiastic about Lin Qianyi at first, because in their opinion, with Lin Qianyi's appearance, the water god will be very satisfied, and maybe he will give the people in the village an extra Reward of elixir of life.
Although so far, I still don¡¯t know what the water god is and what the elixir given by the water god is, the facts before me make me unable to believe Awu¡¯s words.
I really didn¡¯t expect that just because of a somewhat unusual kidnapping case, Lin Qianyi and I would be involved in another mysterious incident. This reminds me of what the third fat man said to me at the beginning. He said that I was a broom star and would encounter mysterious events wherever I went. It really seemed like this.
On the other side, after saying everything, Awu sat back in his original position in the cell and said to me: "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said, and you can leave here. Since you said that Miss Lin was taken by them Altar, the ceremony must be about to begin. Usually at this time, everyone in the village will gather there. If you want to escape, now is the time."
I raised my head and said to him: "Wait a minute, I have one last question, you have to answer me!"
Awu laughed loudly: "Yes, but if you want to ask me how to rescue Miss Lin, there is only one answer, it is impossible! Those of us who have taken the elixir, even if we are shot by a gun, as long as it is not You won't die if you are hit directly on the head, so unless you bring an army, it is impossible to rescue Miss Lin from their hands."
"No, that's not what I want to ask." I said, "What I want to know is actually why you want to help me? Don't say that you have a good impression of Qian Yi. I think that for an immortal person, Said, love is probably the cheapest thing."
Awu put away his smile and shook his head: "I really have a crush on Miss Lin. But you are right, I want to help you. Apart from this reason, there are actually other reasons. That reason , is my father"
I once heard the old village chief say that Awu¡¯s father and his mother, Widow Liu, had left the village and lived outside for a long time until his father died. Widow Liu returned to the village with her three children who were born in other places.
However, what I don¡¯t know is that the reason Awu¡¯s father wanted to leave the village with the elixir and go out to work was not actually for money. The real reason why they left here was to get rid of life in this village and get rid of the elixir that was like a drug!
According to Awu himself, his father has been a kind-hearted person since he was a child. When he grew up, he was exposed to some ideas from the outside world because he went out to do errands for the village, and he began to have an interest in what the villagers were doing. Objected. I don¡¯t know since when, Awu¡¯s father began to feel guilty about the villagers¡¯ constant kidnapping of foreign women and using their lives in exchange for the elixir. He felt disgusted with the life in the village. Finally one day, he took Widow Liu secretly left the village, and the two lived together in the field for more than ten years.
HereIn the past few years, Awu and his two younger brothers were born one after another, and the family of five lived peacefully like ordinary people for several years. However, just a few years ago, Awu's father's physical condition began to gradually deteriorate to the level of ordinary people, probably because he had not taken the elixir for a long time, and he suddenly suffered from severe kidney failure. At that time, if Awu's father chose to return to the village and take the elixir again, his kidney failure might still be cured. However, he was tired of life in the village, so he chose to stay outside. In the end, he died because of this. And died of illness.
Before dying, Awu¡¯s father told Awu about the elixir, and also reminded Awu that if he died, their mother would most likely return to the village. He hoped that by then, Awu could try his best to convince his mother not to take any more elixir even after returning to the village. Because although that thing can give people more lifespan, it is exchanged for the lives of those innocent girls. If you use the lives of others to exchange for your own immortality, even if you can live for hundreds of years, you will have to give up after you die. Abi Hell, where you will never be reincarnated for eternity.
And sure enough, the death of Awu's father changed Widow Liu's temperament drastically. Since leaving the village, Widow Liu has experienced painful withdrawal reactions several times every year because she stopped taking the elixir. It is only because of the presence of Awu's father that she can persevere. After Awu's father passed away, Widow Liu finally couldn't hold on any longer and decided to take her children back to her hometown.
After returning to the village, Widow Liu not only took the elixir again, but also let her three children take it too.
At that time, Ah Wu had just grown up, and he didn¡¯t quite understand his father¡¯s words. Instead, he was very interested in what his mother said about the elixir that could prolong people¡¯s lives. In this way, Awu forgot his father's last words, participated in the village's sacrifice for the first time with his two brothers, took the elixir, and became a slave to the elixir like everyone else.
After taking the elixir, Awu was still immersed in the joy caused by the wonderful effects of the elixir. But as he lived in the village for a long time, Awu gradually began to recall his father's words.
In addition, after Widow Liu returned to the village, the farmhouse she ran became a trap used by the village to kidnap foreign women. When she saw again and again, those girls who fell into the clutches of the villagers because of their mothers were sacrificed to the water god and buried. After his death, Awu gradually realized the guilt his father felt at that time.
"Do you know? In the few short years since I returned to the village, I have actually seen dozens of young girls being pushed to the water god. Those girls are all young and beautiful. If it weren't for My mother, they may still have a lot of good times, but now, their flesh and blood has become the elixir that we eat. The people in our village are like vampires, using the life span of others in exchange for our own. Longevity! This is really disgusting!¡±
Awu's words finally cleared up the doubts in my mind. At the same time, I could also understand his feelings. It was obvious that the villagers in this village had become different because of the existence of the elixir. Living cannibals, although they don't really eat people, their behavior of using those young girls and exchanging their lives for the elixir is actually no different from real cannibalism. How could anyone with some conscience endure such behavior? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
