Male Meng Po

When Wei was eleven or fifteen years old, there was not enough rain, the harvest in the fields was halved, and the people in the village were short on food and clothing.

When Wei was [-] or [-] years old, there was news of ferocious beasts raging in the mountains. Not only the wild beasts from somewhere settled in the mountains, but also the hunters who went to hunt in the mountains suffered heavy casualties, and the villagers who barely survived on the mountains lost an important source of food.

When Wei was eleven or seventeen years old, there was a severe drought, the sun was scorching for several months, and the land was dry and cracked. The people in the village were not only facing the fear of no food, but also a shortage of water.

Many people in the village began to die of thirst and starvation, and people panicked. At this time, the people in the village needed something to comfort their hearts.Find a reason for the current situation that has not been as good as a year for several years in a row, and change it.

The earth trembled, it was the mountain gods who were angry, the river flooded, it was the river gods roaring, the sky did not rain, it was the gods in the sky punishing the people here.

Why, because they have two plague gods here.

And not only did they not expel the God of Plague, but also let them live here to eat and drink with themselves. God couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to be punished.

How to solve this incident, naturally the culprit must disappear.

And this statement was made by the old mother of the Wei family who claimed to be very knowledgeable.

The mother of the Wei family has always claimed that she came from a high-class family, even if her family was destroyed when she was very young, and she was the only one left, even if she grew up and married, she lived no different from ordinary civilians. Even if the old woman's eyesight is ill and she hasn't read a book, after all, she read a lot when she was a child.

The old mother of the Wei family still knows about natural disasters, sacrifices and so on.

So when the son grimaced and said that the family would not be able to solve the problem, the mother of the Wei family felt that life could not go on like this.For some things, someone always needs to take the lead, so the old mother of the Wei family was the first to stand up, go to Li Zheng, and explain the matter clearly.

Li Zheng felt that what the old mother of the Wei family said was very reasonable, but the two did not reach a consensus on the method and details of the sacrifice.

The old mother of the Wei family had difficulty moving and often had a wooden crutch in her hand. At this moment, she struck the ground with the crutch majestically, and said dissatisfiedly: "My ancestor was once the prime minister of a country. If the country had not been destroyed and the family had not been moved here, I would still be an aristocrat with status now. I saw it when I was young, and the serious sacrifices to people were not stripped and washed, tied to the altar, severed their heads and limbs, dug If you sacrifice your heart to sacrifice, how come here everything is so simple? Have you thought about it for the villagers, how can it be regarded as respecting the gods if the sacrifice is not respectful?"

Lizheng was in a dilemma, he said helplessly: "It's not that I don't respect God, it's just that everyone here is short of water. Where does the water come from to purify the sacrifices, and I can't drink enough for myself. Besides, there are no brick houses here. How many rooms, where did the altar come from? This is not a big city, but a small village."

The old mother of the Wei family was dumbfounded when she said this, and finally took a step back: "Then cut off their heads and put them on the stage to worship the gods."

Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Okay." After finishing speaking, he remembered that one of the two "plague gods" was the little grandson of the Wei family, so he mentioned: "It's true that the ominous person is Shi, but that Wei Shishi, who was adopted by Shi..."

"What Wei Shishi!" The old mother of the Wei family said angrily, "It's Shishi! He doesn't deserve the surname Wei. He can't contaminate this surname! Back then, I asked my second child to abandon him because I saw that this child was an ominous person. Yes! He is not a member of our Wei family! He is an evil star! I want to see that evil star beheaded with my own eyes!"

As soon as this name was mentioned, the old mother of the Wei family became angry. In her eyes, the surname Wei had to be given by her to be eligible for it, and Shi giving the child this name without authorization was like stealing something important from her. Every time the old mother of the Wei family thought about it, she was full of anger. Because of venting her anger, she found Wei Shiyi, who had survived by chance, very unpleasant, and hoped that he would disappear immediately.

Li Zheng didn't speak, just stroked his beard.He admitted that the ancestors of the Wei family had a little bit of noble blood, but the Wei family has many descendants, and there are more than a few hundred who fled to various places to survive. The surname Wei is not only owned by the old mother of the Wei family. I heard that a man surnamed Wei came from a city in the south, and men have never been proud of this surname.As for how many generations of super-distant relatives the old mother of the Wei family and the man surnamed Wei were, Li Zheng didn't bother to figure it out.

An old woman who clings to the glory of the past, but only this surname can prove it.Li Zheng commented in his heart.

At the same time, Li Zheng also believed that Shi was an ominous person, but Wei Shishi might not be.If a child who was abandoned and picked up is unknown, then what is it that abandoned the child, is it an evil spirit?

However, as Lizheng, he still needs to calm the restless emotions of the villagers and make up for it with the life of a boy. Lizheng does not feel guilty.Anyway, there are enough dead children now, and it doesn't matter if there is one more child, not to mention that Wei Shiyi will not live long because he is so skinny.

While leaving Wei's house, Lizheng was talking about sacrifices, but he didn't notice a skinny boy squatting in the weeds outside the wall of Wei's house. It was Wei Shishi who died as soon as he said it.

Wei Shishi came out to dig grass roots, and like the others, he and Shi also ran out of food.In order to survive, I have been digging the roots of weeds recently.A pile grew outside the wall of the Wei family courtyard. In order to maintain a little face and dignity, the old mother of the Wei family never allowed her son to squat in the corner and pull grass roots. The sight came here to mow the grass.

Then, let him know a message.

The boy, who hadn't smiled since he was a child, glanced at the grass root in his hand with his dark eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the dirt and scum on it, chewed and ate it.

He doesn't understand about sacrifices, but he still understands being killed.

Wei Shishi didn't want to die.

Even if he really wanted to die, he would drag the people in this village to die together.

Everyone, don't try to run away.

It's a pity that Wei Shiyi looked at his small and thin arms. Even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't even resist that woman Shi, let alone the villagers of a village.

It is not acceptable to kill directly, you will be defeated and then killed.

Use poison?He doesn't understand drugs.

If you set fire, the number of mistakes is too high, and it is easy for someone to run away, and accidentally hurt yourself.

However, Wei Shishi, who was only seven years old, thought about all the possibilities, and then confirmed that he had no choice but to escape.

Not only did he want to escape by himself, but he also wanted to escape with Shi, and it was difficult to survive with only him as a child.

After Wei Shiyi had had enough grass roots, he sneaked back home and told Shi about the matter.Fortunately, women at this time have a clear head and know who they are and what they want to do now.So she packed up the clothes immediately, and pulled Wei Shishi to leave secretly.

However, he met people from the village on the way.The news spread quickly, and half of the village knew that these two people were going to be sacrificed, and because of this, they all had hope. Everyone held the illusion that the two people would have a good life after death, and glanced here from time to time. .The two men's escape was quickly discovered by a man passing by. The irony is that this man is Shi's ex-husband.

The man roared angrily, and while yelling about Shi and Wei Shiyi's escape, he went home to get a weapon. Soon the men who heard the sound were all dispatched, and chased them out with anything that could be used as a weapon at home.

Shi was thrown stones and spit on by people. She knew that she was hated by others, but she had never encountered so many people chasing and killing them with weapons. People also panicked, and took Wei Shiyi to the direction of the mountain in a panic. run.

Wei Shishi didn't say anything to remind the woman, because he knew that running into the mountains after being discovered was their only way out.Shi is a woman with poor physical strength, and he is a child with slow speed. If he can get rid of these people quickly and have a chance, there is no other way but this dangerous mountain.

Sure enough, when Shi and Wei Shishi came to the foot of the mountain, the pursuers stopped. When they got into the mountain, the pursuers hesitated, quarreled for a long time, and went back cursing.No one dared to go up the mountain.

Later, Shi died in the mountains, and Wei Shiyi met Xi.

And now, Wei Shishi is back again.

In fact, he didn't want to come back, Hexi's life in the mountains was so comfortable, if he could live on forever, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let these guys continue to live here.

But Xi threw him back, does this mean that Xi agrees with his revenge?

For the sufferings he suffered as a child, and for the peace of mind of Shi Nengshi who brought him back to raise him, he should at least give some response to the people here.

He clearly remembered the faces of those who chased him back then.Most of them are gone. I don't know whether they have moved away or starved to death here.Unfortunately, the mastermind is there.

Wei Shishi walked around the village, pretending to know the neighbors, and asked about the people here, Lizheng, he had already met.And the Wei family not only had no population loss in the past five years, but even added a small one.The wife of the eldest of the Wei family was pregnant again. This time, she not only gave birth well, but also raised her. Now she is three years old, but unfortunately she is a girl.

The wife of the second child was also pregnant twice, but unfortunately she was unlucky and did not stay.

The most amazing thing is that, after traveling and a famine year, the old lady of the Wei family is still alive.

The best living in this village is this old woman. She would rather abandon another grandson than let herself lose a bite of food.

As for Shi's ex-husband's wife, that child was born early back then. It was a boy, only one year younger than Wei Shishi. The relationship between the teenagers at home is very good.

Wei Shishi sneered, back then they could discuss how to take away his seven-year-old heart, so now it's not too much for him to settle a small account with the two teenagers who are already in their teens.
