Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Han Luo, who was once skinny, looks a lot stronger now. At the age of 19, he is now working as a handyman in the only hotel in the village. The boss loves him because of his hard work.

"Ah Luo, help me take these to my room." Bai Zhi put a bunch of miscellaneous things into Han Luo's hands, picked up her backpack and went out again.

"Girl, where are you going?" The proprietress walked out quickly and said, "Girls are running outside all day, what are you talking about!"

"Qiu Shun opened a new clothing store in the city. I'm going to check it out. You can have lunch first, don't wait for me." Bai Zhi hurriedly changed into a pair of flat shoes, picked up her satchel and went outside.

Han Luo was walking towards the second floor with a bunch of things in his arms, when someone patted his shoulder suddenly, and Bai Cheng said behind him, "How do you go upstairs with so many things? Let me help you."

Bai Cheng and his younger sister Bai Zhi are twins, one is as beautiful as a flower and the other is handsome, they are very eye-catching wherever they go.

"Brother Cheng, where are you not going to Alan today?" Han Luo turned his head and asked Bai Cheng with a smile.

Bai Cheng was six years older than him, and Han Luo usually called him Brother Cheng.

"Don't mention her, I've never seen a woman who is more fierce than her. I just touched her sister's hand and she scratched her face and it still hurts!" Bai Cheng's face did have light scratches, But it's scabbed over.

"You are so fickle, of course she will be angry." Han Luo looked at Bai Cheng helplessly: "Don't talk about her, any woman would not be able to stand you like this."

"Don't talk about these bad things. Is your back injury healed? I brought you some ointment from that famous stingy barefoot doctor." Baicheng took out a tube of ointment from his pocket Pass it to Han Luo.

Han Luo was hit on the back while moving things a few days ago, and it's hard for Baicheng to remember.

"Thank you."

"What are you being polite about?" Baicheng waved his hand indifferently. "In a few days, the patriarch will hold the death sacrifice once every five years. All young people in the village will go there. I don't know what age it is. The patriarch still believes in these feudal things." Baicheng frowned angrily, Originally, I made an appointment with Alan to go on a trip.

"Going to that place again?" I remembered that he fainted for some reason during the last death sacrifice, and woke up after sleeping for several days. Thinking of going there again this time, he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

Moreover, deep in Han Luo's memory, it seems that he has been to that place a long time ago, and he can't remember the exact time. He always feels that there is something waiting for him there, but the more he is like this, the more he resists that place. , Somewhere, his subconscious mind told him to choose the farther away from there.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Bai Cheng waved his hand in front of his eyes, and looked at the young man a little funny. In his opinion, Han Luo has good facial features and a simple and honest personality. He is a good friend who can't be met. .

"I was wondering if I could not go to that place." Han Luo sighed, "My surname is Han, and I am not from the Qiu Family Village."

"You say that, my surname is Bai!"

"You are different. Your mother is from the Qiu Family Village." Han Luo shook his head, telling the truth.

"Hey, you're still so stubborn." Bai Cheng patted his head and said with a smile, "If you're afraid, I'll stand by your side."

"kindness."

Han Luo looked at him and nodded, inexplicably relieved.

The village headed by the patriarch has already started to prepare for the death sacrifice, and there is a solemn and solemn atmosphere everywhere. The men have to wear black clothes and drink rootless water from three days before the death sacrifice.

The hotel has also closed its doors for the past few days, and Han Luo has nothing to do. His mother Han, who was dependent on him a few years ago, also left him, and now he is the only one left to live.

Due to the closure of the whole village in the past few days, Baicheng couldn't enter the city to find his girlfriend, so he had to come to Han Luo's place for a walk from time to time. Baicheng was older than Han Luo, and he was a college student, and he knew a lot. We chatted all over the place together. , to pass the boring days before the death sacrifice.

"What do you think it's not good to call it Death Sacrifice?" Han Luo really doesn't like this name, it sounds very depressing.

Bai Cheng showed a rare serious expression, and said seriously: "A long time ago, the death sacrifice was to kill people, but it was changed later, so that it only needs to be blooded by men who are over eighteen in the village." Seeing Han Luo's inconceivable expression, Bai Cheng After a pause, he said with some hesitation: "Actually, this is about a secret. Not many people know this secret now. Do you know what Qiujia Village used to be?"

Han Luo shook his head.

"Qiu Family Village was not called Qiu Family Village a long time ago, but a den of bandits. They coveted a big family named Ji for a long time. This big family surnamed Ji used to start his business with some tricks to deceive people. Later, I heard that he lived in seclusion to avoid the world. There, there was a famine one year, and the bandit leader took advantage of the darkness to kill Ji’s family, looting and selling them, and the thriving big house was filled with blood overnight.”

Han Luo was stunned for a moment, swallowed, and asked nervously, "What happened next?"

"Later, something went wrong with that house. The bandit's nest built the Qiu Family Village with the stolen wealth, but people in the village disappeared every now and then. People who know a little bit about these things say that they are very troublesome people. , must be suppressed with something, and then there was a death sacrifice, that is, a living sacrifice, and later it developed into the current death sacrifice."

Han Luo felt that the Ji family in the story was so pitiful. They were killed and died tragically while they were alive, and their souls were sealed in that room so that they could not be reborn.But he can't say that no one will agree with him.
