2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

When he received a call from his grandma urging him to return to the village for the third time, Ruan Yuanzhong wanted to throw the phone out of the window.

But he finally lost his patience and explained: "Grandma, I told you that I have some very important business to discuss these days..."

However, he was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by the angry voice of the grandmother on the other end of the phone: "Your business is more important than your grandfather's health! Your grandfather is over 80 years old this year, and he was seriously ill recently. , if it weren’t for Dr. Liu in the village, he would have died long ago!”

Ruan Yuanzhong felt that his forehead was a little swollen, and he almost squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Yes, you said it, Dr. Liu is here anyway. I am not a doctor, and it will have no effect on grandpa's condition if I go back. "

"Bullshit! It's all bullshit! You don't care about the life and death of me and your grandfather! We worked hard to bring you up, and you left as soon as you said you wanted to leave. You only came back a few times after being away for so many years..."

"Stop, stop, wait, wait, I was wrong, I was wrong grandma."

The voice on the phone was a bit harsh. Ruan Yuanzhong took the phone away and begged for mercy before the other side calmed down a little: "You tell me what medicine you need and how much it costs. I will send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow at the latest." . Or you can take grandpa to a hospital in the city. I know a few good doctors..."

"No matter how good the doctor is, Dr. Liu is better?" Grandma interrupted him again: "We don't want anything from you, we want you back! Doctor Liu said, as long as our whole family is present at the sacrifice the day after tomorrow, and prays to the goddess, you Grandpa’s illness will get better.”

Sure enough, it is like this again.

Ruan Yuan sighed secretly, but on the surface he did not dare to disobey: "Okay, okay, I will discuss it with my business partner and give you an answer tomorrow at the latest."

"You've said this several times, just fool me and fool your grandfather and me to death..."

After nearly half an hour of back and forth, Ruan Yuanzhong finally found a chance to finally hang up the phone.

Putting down the phone, he rubbed his forehead with his hands and whispered to himself: "Dr. Liu... This Dr. Liu and his wife are obviously talented people with high knowledge. How could they be so obsessed with such chaotic beliefs in a small village?" Heart. And they are all Chinese. They can live a good life in China, but they live in a small village in the wilderness for so long. There is something really wrong..."

"Huh?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Ruan Yuanzhong's mind, and he remembered something.

When he was a child, there seemed to be no belief in goddesses in the village?

The Liu family came here after he left the village, and the belief in the goddess also appeared after he left the village. Is there any connection between the two, or is it simply that the belief in goddesses was brought about by the Liu family?

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Brother Hu. It's me, Xiao Ruan, asking you something..."

Half an hour later, Ruan Yuanzhong hung up the phone with a strange smile on his face.

He was sure of one thing. The belief in the Goddess seemed to have been brought to the village by the Liu couple.

According to what Mr. Hu who just called me said, after Ruan Yuanzhong left the village that year, a disease broke out in the village not long after. Many people fell ill in bed and it was said that an elderly person from two families died.

The Liu couple also appeared at that time. They devoted themselves to diagnosis and treatment for the villagers and saved the lives of several critically ill patients. They also placed a white stone statue at the entrance of the village and knelt down to pray for the villagers every day. This finally solved the epidemic.

It was also after this that the belief in the Youhe Goddess gradually became popular in this village, and sacrificial banquets were held every year as autumn approached.

After understanding the details of all these things, a plan gradually took shape in Ruan Yuanzhong's mind.

Although he has been away from the village for so many years, he is not familiar with many situations in the village.

But after all, he grew up in that land and knew some of the shady past events buried there, and even personally participated in them.

Ruan Yuanzhong has been troubled by the relocation of the village for a long time. The old people in the village are as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit. And these stone fortresses are even more indestructible, making it impossible to attack.

However, the strongest fortresses often crumble from within.

Only by using the secrets of the village itself to attack the village can it be effective.

...

Today, it is a worship venue.

Ruan Yuanzhong seemed to be frightened. With a shake of his hand, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The red rice wine also dripped along the cracks in the wooden platform and onto the ground below.

He shouted with a trembling voice: "This is extremely poisonous!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below the high platform.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"How can the sacred wine used for sacrifices be poisonous? Ruan Yuanzhong, you beast is getting more and more outrageous!"

Ruan Yuanzhong seemed to have been prepared. He took out a miniature microphone from his pocket and said loudly: "Quiet, everyone, quiet, listen to me!"

The bodyguard and secretary he brought had already placed Bluetooth speakers around the venue. As soon as he opened his mouth, the sound suppressed all the noise and made people's eardrums itch.

Then Ruan Yuanzhong didn't wait for the people below to react, turned around and pointed his finger at the old man Liu who was standing there blankly: "Doctor Liu, there is something I want you to explain. Excuse me! Why! You and your wife, Teacher Liu , despite living a comfortable and comfortable life in China, he has lived in such a poor village in South Vietnam for more than ten years!"

Before Old Man Liu could answer, Ruan Yuanzhong pointed directly at the villagers in the audience and shouted: "Let me ask you, if you were given a chance, would you like to live in a big city in China, with no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy a convenient and safe life? I live in this small village with fear!"

The sound in the venue gradually became quieter, and this question aroused everyone's thinking.

This multiple-choice question is easy to solve. As long as there is no problem in the brain, even a three-year-old child can choose the most correct answer. But precisely because of this, doubts arose in their hearts.

Yes, why do Dr. Liu and Teacher Liu always stay in this small village?

We have no place to go, but what about them?

The micro-loudspeaker was placed in front of Old Man Liu, and Ruan Yuanzhong's expression was serious and solemn: "Please answer why."

Because he had played drums and danced just now, the old man looked a little tired. He took two steps forward and said in a hoarse voice: "There is no reason. I have wanted to leave countless times, but I can't let go..."

Ruan Yuanzhong didn't even intend to let him finish what he said, and took the microphone back directly: "Since you want to leave, then why not leave! There is only one answer!"

Old Man Liu's mouth was slightly open, his eyes full of confusion. Although he is very tall, he is already old after all. His waist is slightly stooped and he looks smaller than Ruan Yuanzhong visually.

He stood on the high platform, like a dry reed, being blown around by the sudden strong wind.

...

"Are we just going to watch like this?" Yan Muyun couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stand up and kick that annoying little man down.

But he couldn't stand up because he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by Xing Xiuxian next to him: "This is their village's own business, let's not interfere yet."

Yan Muyun wanted to refute, but at this moment, Ruan Yuanzhong on the high platform below spoke again:

"What could make two old people give up their comfortable living environment and live in a remote place for so many years? What is it? Is it love? Is it benevolence and righteousness? Is it sense of responsibility? Don't be kidding, they are Chinese, we are South Vietnam People, they have nothing to do with us!"

"There is only one reason to explain their behavior, and that is..."

"...Revenge!!"
