My heart was filled with guilt towards the two children. I was truly powerless, and I didn't even have the chance to make a move.
At least Liu Qing tried to attack me, but I was immediately suppressed by the villagers and could not get close to them.
Saying such an outcome, it might be a little ironic …
Thinking up to this point, I helplessly sighed, and then saw Old God Wang's eyes staring straight at the mountain, as if he could see something.
At the same time, I felt my heart tremble. That kind of feeling … That feeling came again!
That terrifying gaze, the gaze that had appeared in both dream and reality, suddenly appeared again, and it made me feel as if my heart had been ruthlessly grabbed!
I violently coughed twice, my legs became weak and I almost fell to the ground, just at this time, Lingling anxiously walked over and supported me.
At this moment, the villagers were kowtowing for the miracle in their hearts. They had already let us go just now.
Now and then they looked back at us, but their focus was no longer on us. They were all gathered on the mountain.
All of this could possibly save their lives. How could they not pay attention to it?
I think that people in the village seem to be very important to their lives...
It was not just important.
Anyone who values their own life will feel fear in the face of death. If I didn't have a strong desire to live, I wouldn't have lived to this day.
However, the villagers' desire to survive was different from others. Their desire to survive had reached a degree that was borderline crazy.
It was as if they were willing to do anything to keep themselves alive.
This could be seen from the numbness he felt towards the two children.
This was no longer a desire for life. It had already reached a point where it was almost sick and distorted.
Was this even related to their so-called faith?
I took a deep breath and looked carefully at Old God Wang in front of me for a long time. His hand was moving, and blood was flowing from one of his hands.
I stared at the trajectory of his finger in the air and felt a sense of familiarity. It seems that this symbol, I … I've seen it before … But where have I seen it? I can't remember for a while...
At this time, Lingling stood by my side and asked:
"Elder sister, are you alright?"
Perhaps it was because she saw me being pulled by so many people just now and me staring at Old God Wang in a daze, that Lingling felt somewhat worried.
I nodded.
"I'm fine."
Actually, I really wanted to ask Lingling if there was anything wrong, but I was afraid that if I asked too many questions, I would bring Lingling back to her previous state.
That state gave me a very strange feeling, filled with coldness and despair. It was obvious that she was just a child, but she seemed to have walked out from a grave.
Lingling has just walked out of this state for a short while, so I don't want to provoke her with my words again.
Seeing Lingling and I holding hands, Liu Qing also walked towards me with a smile and stood by my side.
Sensing that Liu Qing had come over, many villagers wanted to stand up, but when they turned around to look at the village chief, the village chief quietly stared at the mountain, not showing any signs of interest to Liu Qing.
Since the Village Chief did not express anything, the villagers could sense that this was a critical moment.
No one wanted to interfere with this situation because of their own actions. They didn't dare to act rashly, so they didn't dare to make any moves.
Liu Qing, who was standing beside me, smiled and said:
"I've seen quite a few pretty girls, but I've really never seen anyone who doesn't like them."
At this moment, he had recovered his mocking expression from when I was tied up. He was still laughing at me.
Even if my personality was a bit cold, when I saw Liu Qing's mocking expression, I still couldn't help but feel a black line appear across my forehead.
Perhaps it was because he was already familiar with Liu Qing, but at this moment, in front of Liu Qing, the emotions of joy, anger, and sadness had gradually become obvious.
It was no longer as covert as it used to be.
Actually, hiding the truth in my heart is only because of distrust, but right now, I feel that Liu Qing is a good person.
Seeing Liu Qing's mocking expression, I whispered:
"Think about yourself before making fun of me. Look at the people around you, they all want to kill you."
Even though it was a very nervous matter, I still easily revealed it because Liu Qing was by my side.
If it was before, I would never be like this.
I am a man with a particularly strong sense of crisis, which is what I have been through since I was a child.
If I hear even the slightest hint of trouble, I'll be on guard and mutter to myself for a long time.
As for Liu Qing, since we seem to have two opposing personalities, he always has a relaxed and without pressure.
Perhaps it was also because of his appearance that I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his presence.
And then I said to him,
"The two children could not be saved. In your heart, you... It must be pretty weird too. "
The reason why he asked such a question wasn't to uncover his scars, but because he felt that if he were to keep everything to himself, the problem would arise if he were to keep it to himself for too long.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qing spread out his hands and said:
"There's nothing weird right? It's impossible even if I think about it. With so many people here, can they just watch as I save them?
I am already fortunate enough to be able to keep my little life. I am very happy. "
He didn't know if he was really being open-minded, or just comforting himself.
I don't think a man who risked his life to save someone would be cold-blooded.
Without waiting for me to continue, Liu Qing suddenly pointed at Old God Wang and said:
"Do you feel that the symbol drawn by that old fart's hand is especially familiar, as if you've seen it somewhere?"
My heart palpitated. When he said this, I had a faint feeling that both of us had met before … Could it be …
I looked at Old God Wang's movements more and more carefully, as if I was carefully analyzing every single one of his movements.
The symbol that he drew was in the air and it didn't have a shape. I tried my best to form a shape in my heart so that it would appear completely within my heart …
"The symbols that you've seen before …"
I whispered to Liu Qing as I watched.
And at this time, Liu Qing continued:
"Do you remember when we were on the mountain half a year ago, you used that move?"
They were drawn on the ground. "
At this moment, I already had such a guess in my heart, but hearing Liu Qing say it out loud, my heart still skipped a beat.
No wonder I felt like I knew him, but I could never tell where I had seen this symbol before.
Because at that time, I was in a crazed state, and my consciousness was blurry. The symbols that I drew were completely subconscious movements, and my impression of them was not particularly deep.
When I finally recalled it, my heart shuddered. I actually saw the symbol again. I have never been able to figure out what exactly it means.
I had long suspected that this symbol was some kind of sacrificial symbol, and I had sacrificed some of my own things.
And now that the Old God Wang has inscribed these runes on such an occasion, it made me even more certain of this.
This kind of activity continued for a few minutes, and only then did the sounds in the mountain slowly calm down. The blood in Old God Wang's hands also slowly stopped flowing.
Old God Wang slowly stood up. All the leaves had fallen to the ground and the wind had died down.
On the ground, there was a faint red color. It was the color of the rain of blood from earlier.
At first, the blood rain didn't seem too big, and the color couldn't be seen. But after a long time, the color could be seen.
At this time, everyone also stood up, looking at Old God Wang with anticipation, some of their lips were trembling from excitement.
It was as if she was afraid the Old God Wang would say something bad.
"From tomorrow onwards, all of you will be coming here daily in the direction of the mountain to offer sacrifices to the burning paper and wine.
As long as I pay my respects, I don't need to chant any names. After three consecutive days, I can tell whether I have been defeated or not. "
After Old God Wang finished this sentence, he stopped and the village head said:
"Everyone is tired. Let's disperse."
At this time, a villager pointed at Liu Qing and said:
"Then, what should we do with this person? It almost ruined our business, so we should at least let him remember a little bit, right? "
