After saying this, Uncle Wei Jun was silent for a long time, then looked at me and said: "Your name is Chen Chengyi, right? I'll call you Chengyi. You are a Taoist priest. Come and tell me, then Was it really my dad’s ghost that I saw one night?”
I looked at Mr. Liu like this and didn't know what to say. I couldn't describe the sadness. When we saw each other ten days later, I thought I would be able to rely on him, but I didn't expect that I would be separated from my father by life and death.
I can only say this to Uncle Wei Jun: "He came to repay his obsession because his wish was not fulfilled."
"Is his obsession the safety of this town and everyone in this town?"
"He is a true Taoist. He understands morality and justice." I remembered the day Mr. Liu told me that he was a hero. It seems that it is true that from beginning to end, this little man's performance He has no hesitation as always, and connecting the whole story together, you will find that he has never considered himself at all.
"Haha, thank you for saying so about my father. I'm very proud. The story I want to tell you is over here. What else I can tell you is that we who are holding on in the town are a group of people who have been deprived of their lifespan. People, you also know that the poor people outside the house will not live to be fifty years old, but in order to prevent this 'poison' from harming their blood relatives, they must stick to this town and wait for the light to come one day! As for me, I was not deprived of my lifespan, but I was deprived of my health. This was still under the so-called 'protection'... In short, I prayed once and I had to pay a price. You also know that I am now There are no less than a dozen kinds of diseases in my body. Haha, I can tell you responsibly. If you take me to the hospital for a check-up, you will find that I have no less than five types of cancer." Uncle Wei Jun talked for so long and was tired. The last paragraph It took a lot of effort to speak, and after I finished speaking, I leaned back lazily on the chair.
I looked at this man in shock and sadness. I simply didn’t know how to express my feelings. He was suffering from more than a dozen diseases and yet he was so strong in protecting me. Although I didn’t know what he was protecting, and the story ended inexplicably. I still respect this ordinary person from the bottom of my heart.
I simply can't imagine the pain that people suffering from more than a dozen diseases must endure. You know, in this world, people suffering from just one kind of cancer or one disease feel that life is simply unbearable. ! But he is still alive, just living like this, living for the protection in his heart.
"You are a hero, and sometimes you are a hero just because you are alive. I feel that a life that is not empty is meaningful, and you have evolved this meaning to the extreme." When I said this, it was not a compliment, but a There is an impulsive emotion in my heart that has to be vented. I am not just talking about sincerity, but also a kind of piety.
In front of him, some people gave up their lives easily, which was simply a humble comparison.
"Sometimes, a certain kind of correct persistence can make anyone become a hero. I am very happy that people are still pursuing and dreaming of heroes. This is the most positive energy in the world. Take a look at this, you can slowly Look, tell me your decision tomorrow! This is all I can explain and answer for you. My ability is limited and I cannot completely solve every mystery. I hope you can." As he spoke, Wei Uncle Jun took out something very precious from his body with some difficulty and placed it solemnly on the table.
I saw that it was a yellowed letter. Judging from the creases, it had been read many times.
I knew that this was the obsession of Mr. Liu’s ghost. He wanted to send back the letter when he returned to his soul within the agreed time, so I also picked up the letter on the table with a solemn mood and collected it carefully. good.
"Any more questions?" Uncle Wei Jun was panting heavily, and it seemed that he had reached the limit.
Although I can't bear it, some questions must be asked.
"Uncle Weijun, the government of this town...?"
"Don't count on their people. In fact, after the government changed once, I always felt that a few of them were not that simple, but they later became their people."
After getting this answer, I suddenly grasped a key point in my mind. If the inference is correct, the situation here should have been reported, but... if the receiver deceived the superiors, but... I frowned. He frowned, thinking about something in his mind, not sure whether he should do it or not.
I was silent for a moment and continued: "The situation in this town is so special. Won't the people who come to this town tell the truth? Also, isn't there a part of the people in this town who have gone out? Won't they tell the truth?"
"You know that for people who live in a place, most of their relatives and friends are from this place. Even if they are not, they gradually lose contact and become strangers! Moreover, you have also come to this town. Do you think Will people who come to this town have the opportunity to tell everything about this town? When government agencies are all protective umbrellas? No, even people who leave this town can't, people are all poisoned. ', if you want to live a good life after being cursed, you'd better not mention anything in the town, otherwise you will die inexplicably, and everything is monitored by a pair of invisible eyes. "
Hearing Uncle Wei Jun say this, I felt chills running down my back. I looked at Uncle Wei Jun and found that the things in this town were really terrifying when I thought about it carefully, and the letter in my arms became extremely important. .
"Also, Uncle Weijun, will there be some people who are different from ordinary people in this town? You know, I mean people like us."
"They will come, but the purpose of many people is actually similar to the people in this town. They are for long-term, even eternal life. But they all go and never come back. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Uncle Wei Jun, I will give you an answer tomorrow." I was silent for a while, and I probably understood what I wanted to know. Then I stood up and solemnly said to Uncle Wei Jun, I didn't wait to read it. I need to read this letter carefully and calmly. Uncle Wei Jun wants an answer. Obviously this is related to a certain decision of mine.
"Well, I hope you are the ones who bring light, and I'm waiting for your answer. In addition..." Uncle Wei Jun paused, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, and then said to me: "Actually, It was only with the blessing of that so-called god that I was able to fight until now! To be precise, that was the blessing left to me by Uncle Lin... This is really ironic."
"If you are right, it doesn't matter what the method is." This is the only comfort I can give Uncle Wei Jun, but it is also a sincere comfort. I know this is his heart disease and he wants to get rid of this.
Uncle Wei Jun waved his hand, indicating that he was going to rest. It is a miracle that a person who has been suffering from such pain can talk to me now.
Carrying the letter in my arms, I quietly walked out of the room, feeling inexplicably heavy and sad.
---------Dividing line---------
When I walked out of the room, I found that the old people had dispersed, and the room was still filled with a faint smell of choking smoke and food.
Mr. Liu, Ruyue and Brother Chengxin were waiting for me. When they saw me coming out, they gathered around. Mr. Liu didn’t say anything. He knew the things in this town better than me. Ruyue and Brother Chengxin looked at me. His face was heavy, but there was an inexplicable look of worry.
"Can I stay here tonight?" I asked. From the moment we walked into this old tube building, it was already destined that the people in this town might not be able to accommodate us.
"Live here, there is room available. In the last month, four of our people have died of old age, and rooms are available again." Mr. Liu's tone was a little sad.
With a heavy heart, I lit a cigarette, walked to the window, and looked at the outskirts of this town and the loess mountains in the distance. I couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Liu, are there any left in this town?" How many people are there?”
"There are not many, a thousand people? Two thousand people? In short, those who can participate in the sacrifice are the core members! Those who stand on the high platform are the core people." Mr. Liu knew what I wanted to ask.
I narrowed my eyes due to the smoke, and then said: "I may have to trouble you to continue to guard the town for a while, we have to leave."
"What?" Mr. Liu's expression showed disappointment involuntarily.
I took off the cigarette from my mouth, looked at Mr. Liu, and said seriously: "There is no other meaning, because this town is not the source after all."
"You mean..." Mr. Liu's expression suddenly became strange and inexplicably excited.
"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Even if I didn't read the letter, it wouldn't affect my decision. The letter could at most give me some answers. The reason why I didn't say that to Uncle Wei Jun in the room just now, The reason is a kind of respect, respect for Mr. Liu. If you make a decision without carefully reading his letter, it will always seem very abrupt.
Mr. Liu fell silent, and finally just murmured: "You are also a true Taoist."
I smiled brightly and said, "Of course."
After saying this, I patted Brother Chengxin on the shoulder and said, "Ruyue stays here. You can find a way out of this town and inform everyone to gather here."
Brother Chengxin didn't ask me any more questions. At this time, he had put away his worried expression, hugged his chest, and lazily leaned against the wall and said: "Well, since you have decided, then so be it. I In fact, I am also very curious about what kind of existence that holy village is, and whether the Guidawan we are looking for is there!"
