Chapter 587 Sacrifice
"Well, actually, you should tell me what's going on. I'm running out of patience." Liu Jun walked in from the kitchen door and looked at Zheng Xiao's parents and said.
"No, it's nothing." Zheng Xiao's parents looked at each other and said in unison.
"If I'm not wrong, Zheng Xiao seems to be suffering from great pain. I guess you didn't get his body back, right?" Liu Jun asked, squinting his eyes.
Zheng Xiao's father's face turned as pale as paper, and he said tremblingly: "You...you...how did you know..."
But then he seemed to realize what he said wrongly, not only stopped speaking, but also avoided Liu Jun's gaze.
At this time, Zheng Xiao's mother started to speak. She smiled unnaturally at Liu Jun and said, "Xiao Jun, stop thinking so wildly. There is nothing happening here. We are all very good, and so is A Xiao.
Everyone is fine..."
But before she finished speaking, a hoarse and old voice suddenly sounded from behind Liu Jun: "Very good, what is very good? Do you plan to let him leave here directly? Can you rescue A Xiao?"
That voice suddenly shocked everyone, including Liu Jun. If this girl was an assassin, Liu Jun suspected that he had been stabbed.
Liu Jun looked back and saw Zheng Xiao's grandmother already standing at the door of the kitchen, watching them coldly.
This was the first time Liu Jun saw Grandma Zheng Xiao's face clearly. It was dark last night, so Liu Jun couldn't see very clearly. Grandma Zheng Xiao looked very old, and her face was covered with wrinkles like knives.
His back was hunched, but his eyes still showed a very strange look.
Zheng Xiao's father seemed a little embarrassed and immediately said: "Mom, why did you come downstairs?"
Grandma Zheng Xiao didn't say anything else. She turned around and walked upstairs again. She disappeared around the corner of the stairs soon, and then there was a sound of the door closing upstairs.
At this time, Zheng Xiao's parents seemed to be relieved, and their expressions finally softened a little.
Zheng Xiao's parents said to Liu Jun: "Xiao Jun, don't think too much, there's nothing wrong. It's still early, you can take a rest. Your aunt and I will ask you to come down for breakfast later. It's morning."
Xiao has called. He is staying well at his friend's place. He needs to stay a few more days. After you have breakfast, your uncle and aunt will take you out of the village first. When Xiao comes back, we will ask him to find you."
Liu Jun sighed, what the hell, are the living dead so stubborn?
He didn't say anything to Zheng Xiao's parents. Liu Jun knew their psychology. He could only say that he was a kind-hearted person and he didn't want to implicate anyone else after his death.
Zheng Xiao's parents must have known that the place where their son died was in great danger. They believed that Liu Jun was going to die if he went there, so they kept it secret from Liu Jun.
Since Zheng Xiao's parents refused to talk here, Liu Jun felt that Zheng Xiao's grandma was a good breakthrough point.
Last night, Grandma Zheng Xiao urged Liu Jun to leave this place. The old lady's behavior this morning seemed to be hoping that Liu Jun would bring back the body of his grandson Zheng Xiao.
Liu Jun walked to the door of the old lady's room and knocked lightly. After waiting for a while, there was no answer. Liu Jun hesitated, opened the door directly, and walked in slowly.
It is early summer now, the most vibrant time, but there is an indescribable, lifeless feeling in the room.
Thick curtains blocked everything outside, leaving only a corner of the curtain edge, which shone half a ray of light on the cement floor of the room and also on a faded wicker chair.
The room was a bit dark and moldy, and it seemed that here we could no longer distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter, nor could we distinguish between sunny days and dark clouds.
Sitting on the wicker chair was an old woman with frosty hair on her temples. She was staring blankly at the curtains with a hint of light. Her wrinkled face had a dull expression, and there was no trace of brilliance in her dim eyes, as if she
The meaning of existence has been lost, and living is just a matter of lingering.
Liu Jun's voice when he walked into the house was not quiet. The main reason was that the wooden floor was old and old, and when people stepped on it, it would make a "squeak" sound.
But even though it was so loud, the old man on the wicker chair still sat quietly, motionless. Just like this room, no one could feel the breath of life at all. Liu Jun even began to doubt whether she was really there.
She is still alive, but the old lady looks more like the living dead than her son and daughter-in-law.
"Old lady, I know that you don't want me to go find Zheng Xiao, because you are afraid that I will take my own life. But I am really not an ordinary person. I came here this time to find Zheng Yang and solve the problem here.
Only Zheng Xiao knows where Zheng Yang is. Only by bringing Zheng Xiao back and returning his soul can I know Zheng Yang's location."
The old lady remained unmoved and silent, just when Liu Jun thought the old lady was dead and wanted to test her breathing.
Suddenly he felt as if someone walked into the room from behind him. Liu Jun suddenly turned around and saw Zheng Xiao's parents behind him.
Zheng Xiao's father's expression was a little serious, but there was also a hint of hesitation and sorrow in his eyes. He said to me in a calm voice: "Xiaojun, my mother-in-law doesn't like others to disturb her rest. Please go out quickly."
Liu Jun's face fell. The most annoying thing for him is to face those kind-hearted people, because you can't force a confession if they don't tell them. Just like Zheng Xiao's parents in front of him, they are all for Liu Jun's good and want Liu Jun.
Jun leaves here, away from danger.
Can Liu Jun catch someone and force him to find out the location of Zheng Xiao's body? Liu Jun is not a good person, but he is not a beast either.
Just when Liu Jun was about to turn around and leave, the old lady, who had been as silent as a dead person, suddenly spoke. The hoarse old woman's voice, like a witch in a movie, suddenly rang in the room: "Son, just tell him
Well, he is not an ordinary person, maybe, he can really do it."
After the old lady finished speaking, she once again looked like an old woman, looking lifeless.
Zheng Xiao's parents glanced at the old lady in surprise, then turned around and left the house with Liu Jun.
The three of them came to the hall downstairs. Zheng Xiao's father hesitated for a long time before speaking. Liu Jun was shocked by this opening.
"All 317 people in our village were sacrificed."
Mouth 317, Liu Jun was shocked. Mo Li and the others had also gone downstairs and were standing next to Liu Jun. They were also extremely shocked at this time.
If this were ancient times, it would be normal to sacrifice and slaughter thousands of people. But this is modern times. More than 300 people in a village were sacrificed. What is the concept?
Killing the village, this is it. Liu Jun has roughly guessed who would do this. The Black Snake Cult has been particularly quiet recently, and the one that is still active is the Wengu organization.
"Can you tell me something?" Liu Jun asked.
"A week ago at night, a group of people suddenly came to the village. They sealed the entire village and prohibited entry and exit. They went from house to house looking for people and arresting them."
"Do you know where the arrest went?"
"There is a big iron gate in the grain farm in the center of the village. Under the iron gate is a place for sacrifices in ancient times. In the past, the old people in the village often scared us and refused to let us go. People from other villages didn't know where it was, and they didn't know what happened to these people.
know”
"Later, a black mist appeared in the village and wandered around the village. Most of the people in the village fainted. When we woke up, we looked like this, the living dead." Zheng Xiao's father smiled bitterly.
"What about Zheng Xiao?" Liu Jun asked.
"A Xiao was one of those people who was captured. After we all became the living dead, A Xiao's soul came back and told us these things. The surviving people in the village once organized a rescue, but that time
, no one has come back. Now in the village, only a few old people are still lingering, and the others have become the living dead." Zheng Xiao's parents looked sad and distressed.
Relatives were separated when they were alive and could not be together when they died. Their son's body was never brought back. In order to prevent Liu Jun from following the path of those who have never returned, the two of them had to hold back their grief and accompany Liu Jun in acting.
"I'm going to see if I can bring Zheng Xiao's body back." Liu Jun stood up with the Mingjian in his hand, and Mo Li Liuli went with him to prevent accidents.
Liu Jun and the other three walked to the street, looked at the direction, and walked towards the middle of the village.
Grandma Zheng Xiao opened the curtains at the window on the second floor, quietly looked at the backs of Liu Jun and others, and prayed silently.
