Nightmare Attack

Sun Yuangang, who was wearing a plaid shirt, couldn't help it anymore, "This bridge must not be repaired. Think about it, if the bridge was built to allow these murderers to cross the river, how many innocent people would die tragically?"

"But...but if we don't repair the bridge, what...what will we do? Those crazy women won't let us go. []" Weng Chenglin, who was wearing a large old suit and dressed quite fashionably, looked in the direction of the door. His face was full of worry.

"Oh, do you think those guys will let us go after repairing the bridge?" Luan Lihui's voice became louder, filled with grief and anger, "Didn't you listen to that old woman? She said that Empress Zhusheng didn't like us. Tomorrow morning we will all be sacrificed alive, our limbs cut off and our bodies thrown into the Blackwater River."

"Yeah, these damn demons, they won't let us go. The bridge won't be repaired. Let's fight with them!"

"Yes, fight them!"

"In a while, we will collect as many weapons as we can, then sneak out and kill everyone we see. Kill one to get back our money, kill two to earn one, and avenge those brothers who died in vain!"

The crowd was furious, and the power a person unleashed in despair was astonishing. Since he knew there was no way to survive, he simply gave it a try.

"Wait, everyone, listen to what I have to say."

Seeing Li Bai stand up, the noisy scene suddenly became quiet. As the only woman among these people, Li Bai did not mingle with those crazy women, but defended them in every way. Everyone saw this.

"Everyone, the bridge must be repaired. This is tonight's task. And if the bridge is not repaired, we people will not be able to leave Blackwater Village."

"But as for how to build the bridge and what it looks like, that's our business. I think we can make a fuss about it."

Lu Zhangyuan, who had a fair face and had blocked a sword for Yao, Shun and Yu, thought thoughtfully, "Sister Li, you said before that those crazy women might be afraid of water."

"Yes, so Li Bai and I just worked out a plan. If we can make the bridge collapse when the villagers are crossing the river, causing those villagers to fall into the water, maybe we can have a chance of survival."

Yao and Shunyu also stood up at this moment and made it clear about his and Li Bai's plan. This plan was of great importance and it would definitely not work just relying on the two of them. They needed everyone's help.

Before proposing this plan, Li Bai and Yao, Shun, and Yu also had arguments. After all, there was still a crimson hidden among them. However, the situation was urgent and we could only take one step at a time. We should be more vigilant in the task and take advantage of every opportunity. .

Compared with the lurking Crimson, the tasks before us and those weird villagers are the most intuitive threats.

Of course, there is also the Immortal Empress. Until now, they still haven't figured out what the hell she is.

It didn't take much effort to convince these people. Knowing that there was still a glimmer of hope, everyone expressed their willingness to cooperate and follow Li Bai's arrangements.

Weng Chenglin, who was wearing a large suit, wrapped his clothes tightly, and his throat rolled unconsciously, as if he thought of something terrible, "I said, do any of you know what a Jisei kiln is? It sounds scary."

"I know this." A loud voice sounded. It was a dark-skinned man with a short stature. The man didn't talk often. He looked fierce and had bulging tendons on his neck. Yao, Shun, and Yu had noticed this a long time ago. When I met such a person, I knew his name was Wu Qiang.

"I used to work as a porter in Bangbang over there at home. I heard a Bangbang who often worked with me say that there was a mountain over there from his house, and there were many such things behind the mountain. But That was all before liberation.”

"In that era when people were treated as non-human beings, if an elderly person in the family lived a long time, especially if his children or grandchildren were in poor health, and the old man was particularly energetic, the neighbors would say that the old man was living the lifespan of his children and grandchildren. This is called... Long live your children and grandchildren.”

"It's very simple to get rid of it. Just find a remote place in the nearby mountains, such as a mountain wall or a bush. Dig a cave that can accommodate one person. Then look for a good life, beat gongs and drums, and dress up. The old man carried it up the mountain and put it into the cave."

"From then on, people were arranged to go up the mountain to deliver meals every day, one meal a day. The person who delivered the meals took a brick with him, and every time he delivered a meal, he built a brick outside the old man's cave. As time went by, the old man was sealed in the cave. If the food cannot be delivered to the cave, there is no need to deliver it, and the person delivering the food will not go. "

"By the way, there is another saying. If the person delivering food sprains his foot or is injured on the road, then there is a reason. You can lie at home and wait for the injury to recover, which can take as short as 3 or 5 days. , as long as ten days and a half, then there is no need to send meals. "

A lonely old man would never be able to endure hunger and cold for such a long time. Huang Jun, who was wearing glasses, raised his head in doubt: "Then these old people will stay in the cave honestly, and they will not find it again." Home?"

After a moment of silence, Wu Qiang shook his head slightly and sighed: "No, it is said that there are very few old people who can eat for 10 days. Many old people have no food and water since they were carried on the mountain, and they will die in a few days." ”

"It's because the old man's heart has died since he was carried up the mountain." Li Bai felt uncomfortable in his heart when he thought of that scene.

Wu Qiang paused, and then slowly said: "Actually, it's not all what you think. Many old people go there voluntarily, and they even force their children to carry them up the mountain. They think they are useless. Without the ability to farm, one more person would have to eat more food. In an era when food was expensive and scarce, they wanted to leave food to their children. "

"For these reasons, this Jisei Kiln also has several names, including Zisei Kiln and Old Man's Cave."

Li Bai Yao and Shunyu looked at Wu Qiang with a hint of vigilance. After all, it was okay if he knew, and he knew it in such detail, which didn't sound like hearsay.

Yao and Shunyu glanced at Li Bai, then looked at Wu Qiang and asked: "Brother Wu, what are the rules and taboos about going to the death kiln?"

"Taboo..." Wu Qiang shook his head after thinking for a moment, with sincerity on his simple face, "I really don't know this, and he didn't say it at the time."

But Wu Qiang didn't say it, Li Bai had to say it. After all, they all had to go to the death kiln tonight. If they suffered heavy casualties, tonight's plan would be difficult.

And if Wu Qiang is really crimson, he probably knows these taboos even if he doesn't say them.

"What a coincidence, I have also heard some rumors about the Jisei Kiln. It is said that if you can't see the faces of the people inside clearly when you get close to the Jisei Kiln, you should never reply. This is a taboo." Li Bai looked cautious.

"Why?" Lu Zhangyuan, whose shoulder was still bleeding, asked.

"Because you don't know whether the people inside are dead or not, and whether the person talking to you is a human or a ghost."
