Captain Fei walked out of the dilapidated wooden house, raised his hand and stretched out a palm,
tick tock,
A drop of rain smashed into the palm of his hand.
At this moment, outside the house, it is raining continuously, and in the distance of the sky, there is still a dull thunder that is gradually fading away.
Captain Fei felt the temperature of his body surface, looked at the drizzle in front of him, and the thunder that was fading away, spring rain
Does the time happen around March, April and May
Captain Fei's eyes pondered.
And the sky at this time, as the thunder went away, the rain gradually stopped, the dark clouds above the head dissipated, and the sun gradually shone down, and the rain was over and the sky was clear.
Captain Fei closed his eyes and slightly felt the warmth of the sun shining on the skin of his cheeks, and then felt the cool breeze blowing on his face after the spring rain. There is a fishy smell in his nose, and everything in front of him is so real.
"Since it's a memory replay, the subject of resentment will appear soon..." Captain Fei suddenly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed across his face, his face was very calm and collected.
He looked in front of him,
a lake,
a pier,
a dilapidated wooden house,
Not far away, there are scattered houses built along the lake, and a few fishing boats docked on the shore. These fishing boats are very old fishing boats.
Some of them are like the awning boats that were most common in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River in the era before the liberation of the whole country.
The boat canopy is woven into a semicircle with bamboo strips, covering the hull tightly. People can light a fire, cook, eat, drink and sleep inside; there are also long and short wooden pulps, so people can paddle with hands and feet. The hull is long and narrow. , The underwater resistance is small, and there are many advantages of transporting goods and living people without delay.
The environment in front of me is very obvious. This is a small fishing village that depends on the lake for a living. The entire fishing village is only a few dozen households. It is very small, and this small fishing village is still very backward and poor.
"Is this a memory that happened in the last century?"
"Um?"
Captain Fei was suddenly surprised, and turned his head to look at the dilapidated wooden house behind him. He saw that in the empty wooden house that was originally empty except for him, at some point, he was on that tall, square wooden table that didn't look like it was for children. Next, there is an extra little boy squatting with his hands on his knees.
Perhaps because of the poverty and backwardness of this era, the little boy was severely malnourished, almost skinny and skinny. What's even more strange is that the little boy's whole body is covered under a large adult's clothes that don't match his size, covering all the exposed skin.
"There is a square table, but there are four stools as high as the table... This should be a family of three, or a family of four. Parents are not here because they continue to go fishing in such rainy days to subsidize poor families ?"
"And what about the little boy hiding under the table? This little boy is the source of everything?"
Captain Fei didn't act immediately.
He knew that the evil spirit that was sealed in the necromancer hadn't really appeared yet, and now it was just a memory playback. No matter how much he did, it would be futile, so he waited quietly, but he was always vigilant, ready to fight back at any time .
He is not worried about the safety of his old comrades in arms.
Dealing with the scene in front of him is what his old comrade-in-arms who has awakened mental abilities is good at, and he is more comfortable than him.
At this moment, the rain is over and the sky is clear, and the sun is getting bigger and bigger.
The little boy under the table seemed to be very afraid of the sun, nervously wrapping his adult clothes tightly around his body, and shrunk his body further back under the wooden table.
"Is it because you are afraid of being exposed to the sun?" Captain Fei could only passively watch the memory playback in front of him.
"Ah Liang, come out and play together."
"Ah Liang, let's go to the reeds by the lake to catch small crabs."
"Ah Liang, it's the fishing season. The adults are all in the county town to catch the fish market. Come play with us while the adults are away."
A group of children who lived in the fishing village ran to the cabin and shouted. At this moment, the memory of the resentful spirit was still playing back, and none of them could see Captain Fei.
"You, you guys, are you really willing to play with me? You... are you not afraid of me?" The little boy, who was hiding under the table with his legs crossed, was full of surprise and longing in his voice.
He was weak and sick since he was a child, so he could only be locked in the house all the time. He was isolated and excluded by his peers. Being able to play with and integrate into his peers has always been his greatest desire.
"Yes, but before my father and mother left, they told me not to leave the house." Just when the little boy happily crawled out from under the table, but looking at the ray of sunlight leaking in through the cracks in the room, he felt a little nervous. He hesitated and flinched back.
"The adults are not here now, we sneak out to play, come back before they come back, we will definitely not be found."
"Yeah, come play with us."
The children persuaded them together. In the end, the little boy hiding under the table showed a happy smile for the first time. Wearing the adult's loose clothes, he tried his best to cover himself tightly. He was a little afraid of the sun, but he still happily ran out Find the little ones to play with.
"This fool, really thought we would play with him."
"Shh, keep your voice down so that he doesn't hear you, or it won't be fun later on."
"Haha, yes, yes, yes, let's see how we can tease him later."
"I heard that he has been suffering from a strange disease. He has been wearing adult clothes to wrap himself up and never shows his face. How could someone play with him for such a weird person? A fool deserves to be bullied."
"My grandpa told me that he might not be human."
"Not human? Could it be a ghost?"
"If it's a human being, why would you be afraid of the sun and keep hiding at home from the sun?"
"Let's expose him and see if this silly boy is a man or a ghost. We'll take off his clothes later."
"Okay, okay, I like playing ghost games the most."
Captain Fei frowned as he looked at the little boy Aliang who was happily walking in the front because he was finally recognized by his peers, and then listened to the conversation of a few children who deliberately lagged a few steps behind.
There was a hint of unbearable color in his eyes, even though he knew that this was a replay of memory that had happened in the last century, he still couldn't help feeling a little bit of compassion.
But at the same time, he was very clear that he was powerless to stop everything in front of him before the memory playback ended.
"Ah Liang, there is a little crab here, hurry up, catch it quickly."
"Where? Why didn't I see it?"
"Your clothes are too big, covering your sight. How can you see the little crabs so small? You take off your clothes and go down into the reed field. How can you catch the little crabs when you stand on the shore."
"You can't take off these clothes! I'll help you find the little crabs on the shore, or we'll play on the shore, the water is too dangerous."
Plop!
Suddenly there was the sound of something heavy falling into the water, and then Ah Liang was struggling in the water, calling for help.
"Haha, idiot, you really thought we would play with you, but you really believed it, hahaha."
"Do you want clothes, fool? Swim to the shore and catch us, and we will give you clothes."
"Come and catch us, haha."
However, screams of panic came from the shore soon. The little boy who was struggling in the lake, with no clothes to cover his skin, started to turn red, purple, and rotten and ulcerated in patches after being directly exposed to the sun. .
"Help! Ghost!"
The children scattered in fright. A few minutes later, Ah Liang grabbed the reeds on the bank, put on his original clothes that had been discarded on the ground, and fled the bank like a frightened deer. Hiding deep under the table.
Wet all over, the severe pain caused by the burning of the skin made him cry in pain.
"I just want someone to play with me."
"I don't want to be scary, I really just want someone to play with me...Father, mother, Ah Hao hurts, I really hurt!"
Captain Fei watched in silence as the skin on the boy's body was festering and bleeding.
"A porphyrin (lín) patient?"
Porphyria, which is a genetic disease, can be congenital or acquired. Patients suffering from porphyria are sensitive to light. Once exposed to the sun, skin inflammation, erosion, scab, ulcer, atrophy, edema, etc. will occur. Erosion surface.
This genetic disease was not officially recognized in the developed Western world until the 18th century. And because the number of patients is extremely rare, very few people in the western world know about porphyria, let alone the ancient people who were backward and ignorant at that time, and the whole country had not been liberated.
"Huh? The memory replay hasn't ended yet, hasn't the evil spirit in the necromancer come out yet?"
"Even if you were pushed into the water by them, don't you at this moment resent the world?"
"Is there any greater pain than the present, that will make you start to resent this world?!"
While Captain Fei was silent, there were suddenly many people's voices outside the house, and amidst the little boy's cries, shouts and struggles, he was brutally grabbed out from under the table by the adults who barged in, and punched him. kick out.
Fishing village ancestral hall.
When the little boy saw his parents, they were beaten to the point of bleeding and tied to two wooden posts in the firewood pile.
"Father! Mother!"
The little boy huddled in fear under the wet, obviously ill-fitting adult clothes. The skin on the back of his hands was festered and blood holes were exposed. He was struggling to save his parents, but he was kicked and turned over several times.
"Burn them! Burn them!"
"The three members of this family must have been possessed by evil spirits. Only ghosts are afraid of the sun!"
There was a lot of noise, mixed with the screams of the villagers.
The little boy tried desperately to explain that he was not a ghost, nor was he possessed by evil spirits. He was human, and he was human just like everyone else. He just wanted someone to play with him. He really didn't mean to be scary. The villagers didn't believe it and asked him to take off his clothes to prove himself.
Only human beings are not afraid of the sun.
"Xiaoliang, don't!"
The parents, who were tied up in the pile of firewood and beaten bloody by the villagers, cried out in grief, but the little boy hesitated, and he took off the clothes that had been protecting him all along.
This is an extremely cruel scene.
Exposing porphyria patients to the sun is more painful than torture, not to mention that this is just a child. The little boy is crying in pain, and he is still explaining that he is really human. Please ask the village chief and the villagers Let's not burn his parents.
"It's been half an hour, and he hasn't died yet. Could it be that we misunderstood it, and it's really just a strange disease?"
"Take another half an hour to see."
The villagers looked at the dying little boy on the ground and discussed.
"There is no disease in this world that cannot see the sun. Either it is not a human being, or it is an evil spirit. I have sent people to the county town to find an expert to come to the village to exorcise evil spirits. If your life is hard, as long as you can be honest When people come and drive away the evil spirits for you, we will let you and your parents go." In the ancestral hall, the village chief looked indifferently at the dying little boy on the ground, and the little boy's parents tied to the wooden stakes.
Captain Fei has been watching the development in front of him. Even at this time, the little boy is still gritting his teeth to support the last ray of lamp oil in his life. He has not died yet, and has not yet developed resentment towards this world.
he is waiting
He is waiting for time,
Before the time is up, he must not die.
I can't die!
I can't die!
The little boy stayed up from afternoon to night, but no one came. The villagers gradually lost their patience, and some people began to clamor to burn the three people who had brought misfortune to the village.
"Burn them!"
"Burn them!"
Click... The village head took out a worn foreigner's pocket watch that had been rusted for some years, and was almost completely rusted. He glanced at the time on the pocket watch, and waved his hand indifferently: "It's 8:45 in the evening, go to the county town to find an expert They haven’t come back, it seems that they won’t come tonight, burn them!”
"We must not keep people who recruit evil in our village, otherwise it will bring disaster to the whole village!"
boom!
The kerosene lamp shattered, and kerosene became the fastest combustion accelerant. It instantly turned into two raging fires and engulfed the two people who were tied to the stake, screaming horribly.
"Father! Mother!"
"Liar! Liar! You are all big liars!"
"I've been waiting! I'm not bad!"
"Why do you still burn my father and mother to death!"
The dying little boy, who was bloody and bloody from the sun, cried out hoarsely.
"Are you resentful? Are you angry?"
"Who told you that you are an unclean person? You have brought disaster on your parents. You are the one who actually killed your parents with your own hands!" The village chief and villagers collectively blamed the bloody and dying innocent little boy on the ground. .
"No! I didn't!"
"Tell me, did I kill my parents?"
The head of the little boy on the ground suddenly rotated at a non-human angle of 90 degrees, his face turned to the back, his eyes were as hollow as dead fish eyes, lifeless, staring straight at the direction of Captain Fei.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Let the dead rest in peace, and let the living regain their liberation." Captain Fei clasped his palms together, holding two thin wind blades in his hands.
"Tell me, did I kill my parents?"
The little boy who turned his face 90 degrees to the back, did not listen to what Captain Fei said, and continued to repeat the same sentence lifelessly.
But the next moment!
The skin peeled off severely, and the bloody and thin body suddenly stood up straight, with the neck backward, and rushed towards Captain Fei.
…
At this moment, in the other direction of Li Zhi's community, Zhou City No. 6 Middle School.
When the hands of the wall clock go to 8:45 in the evening,
Outside the closed door of the school's security room, suddenly there was a rapid slapping sound, and there seemed to be the sound of children's messy footsteps... Something outside the security room was about to come in.
