I guess the bartender also noticed that I was almost "squeezed dry" by him, so he didn't talk to me with the same enthusiasm as before, and he didn't reveal any new information to me. If I want to know more about this Regarding the village affairs, I'm afraid I have to take out the counting paper.
I thought there was nothing I wanted to know before. In fact, after thinking about it carefully, I found that there were too many things I wanted to know. For example, how many areas are there in this outer village? Because the dining hall is divided into time slots every day, each 5,000 people can only occupy one and a half hours, and so on.
In the first three days, I was lucky enough to be able to see all my friends among so many people. Later I found out that the time for eating comes at a regular time every day, which lasts about three or four days. Every time I Not until I could see all my friends did I realize that this village was much bigger than I thought.
After all, this is a continuous loess mountain range, almost like a no-man's land. Hiding tens of thousands of people in such vast mountains is actually not as difficult as imagined.
However, due to the uncertainty of time, I simply cannot calculate how many people there are in this village. So how many areas there are is what I urgently want to know. Only in that way can I determine the location of my partners.
Also, where is Uchimura
How are the levels in the village divided? Who are the people in the inner village? Are they all cultivators? Or a Taoist priest? Are there any forces behind this that are supporting this village? If so, what kind of force is it? Where are the sacrifices? Is the area of God the inner village? if not... .
The more I thought about it, the more questions I had. Later, I didn’t dare to think about it anymore, because I was afraid that many of them were beyond the ability of this little bartender to answer.
While I was drinking, I felt the thing in my hand. It was like a ball. I touched it and it looked like a wax ball. I covered it up naturally and casually and put the ball into my pocket.
And the bartender looked so disinterested that he wouldn't notice me at all, so how could he discover this secret little move of mine
My curiosity was completely aroused by that adult. In fact, I no longer wanted to stay in this noisy pub. However, in order to show that I was a newcomer, I still pretended to be very precious and drank all the wine I bought. Due to some considerations, I also pretended to be generous and asked the bartender to drink two bottles. He didn't show much gratitude, but I didn't care. I just wanted to bury a little foreshadowing for myself in this dangerous and mysterious place. That's all... .
Finally, I finished all the wine. I pretended to be half drunk and walked out of the so-called entertainment room with a light step.
Outside the gate, there was that silent village again. Everything in that recreation room seemed to be a world separated from the village... There were a few patrolling village officials, looking at me intentionally or unintentionally, but I didn't care. Humming a song, I walked towards my cave dwelling with a happy look.
The difference is that today I saw a large piece of flat land over there, with several women leading a group of children standing there, and then standing in front of these children was a man. The man was also a village minister, but I If you are a little familiar with him, that set of weird movements to strengthen your body is what he taught those children... .
Due to the distance, I couldn't see clearly whether there were any children from the town inside. However, when I came to this place, I understood to some extent what was going on in this village that kept asking the town to sacrifice children. , there is no need to imagine how loyal and pious children who have been raised in "captivity" like this since childhood must be. Many children are originally a blank sheet of paper, and they are easier to be exaggerated than adults! Therefore, they are taken more seriously!
And this kind of thing started to happen in 195 years. Suppose they lived in the Holy Village and had offspring. From generation to generation... I suddenly broke out in fine sweat. What's the difference between this breeding farm? ? There was an endless stream of sacrifices, all of them brainless but loyal...
At the same time, I started to feel sad!
Maybe they saw that I noticed the situation of the children over there. These village officials were not happy. The village official said before that I was a dishonest ant. They must have communicated with each other, so they paid special attention to it. A little bit... It looked like I was snooping, so he wanted to drive me away.
I pretended to be drunk and spat on the ground, very naturally, turned my head without focusing my eyes, and then staggered away nonchalantly. A drunk man's thinking and reaction abilities were so slow, they You shouldn't care about me, right
Seeing me walking away, the village officials didn't pay special attention to me. I just walked back to my cave dwelling lightly, and no one came to ask me. It wasn't until I entered the cave dwelling and closed the door that I could Completely relaxed, and finally no longer acted like that.
Taking a long breath, I quickly scooped a ladle of water from the large vat that was placed aside, then washed my face and poured it over my head to drive away the remaining alcohol and allow myself to completely calm down and sober up. In this village, all that is required is constant vigilance.
However, thankfully, there is no surveillance in this house, or in such a remote place, installing surveillance in a cave dwelling is a huge project and unrealistic, or they are not worried about what we know at all, As long as you can't escape, it doesn't matter, so... .
I didn’t think too much about it. After all, when I came here, it was an almost impossible project to escape from the topography. The only entrance to the sky and the surrounding environmentally friendly rolling high slopes had almost no vegetation on it. , it was more difficult than climbing the cliff to escape the siege before.
After thinking wildly for a while, I took out the ball-like thing from my pocket. I felt it looked like a wax ball before, but I didn't expect it to be a wax ball.
I lifted it up and looked at it, and I saw at a glance that there was a rolled-up note hidden in the wax pill. Or maybe I was afraid that the note would be difficult to pass around and would not easily attract my attention, so I deliberately sealed it with wax. .
I guessed what this mysterious man was thinking, and then without hesitation I pinched open the wax ball, took out the rolled paper inside, and unfolded it almost impatiently.
The handwriting on it is very unfamiliar to me. It is just a row of pen handwriting. Every stroke is precise. It seems that the owner of this handwriting is a person with great self-control and self-planning. The content is that three days later, the house under the moon will See you beforehand.
Well? I frowned. Although it was just a simple sentence, the destination, time and place were clearly stated. Does that adult want to see me? And in such a secretive way? But isn’t it too ostentatious to see in front of the house
I burned the note with a lighter and wiped away the remaining ashes. Only when there were no traces left did I stand up with confidence, take out a cigarette and light it.
When we come to this village, facing powerful forces, we have nothing to rely on. The bachelor can no longer be single, so it doesn't matter if there is another mysterious figure who wants to see me, so let's meet him. However, it is inevitable that I will still guess the owner's character through handwriting, and then slowly think about who I know has such a character
Xiao Chengqian? This was the person I was most suspicious of, but was he? I smiled bitterly. Young Master Xiao is actually a man with little strategy, and his personality is completely opposite to his handsome and somewhat feminine face. He is basically a bandit...
Because of the drunkenness, I started to think far away. I don’t know when I just put my clothes on and fell asleep on the kang in the cave. During my free time in the afternoon, no one cared whether I was sleeping or nervous... .
I slept until dinner time. I was woken up by the village clerk who came in to investigate the situation. Nothing can be violated here. Even if you don't want to eat, you must go to the canteen according to the time.
I didn't care about going against these small rules, so I simply left with the village official.
After dinner, there were the so-called worship, exercise... and other inexplicable chores. After that, I returned to my cave dwelling and habitually marked a line in a secret place to record that another ordinary day had passed, but I didn't want to At this time, the insect that had been lying on my arm started to move violently.
My hand that was holding a yellow stone stopped. It seems that today is not such a peaceful day.
