Don't follow the rules

Chapter 131 Lu Jiachong (Fifteen)

"She will kill?" Chunyu asked.

"Yes..." The village head sighed, raised his head, and fixed on Chunyu and Ning Yao with his cloudy eyes.

"Three days." He said.

Ning Yao was confused: "What three days?"

The village chief: "Jinxian just fell from power, and she couldn't wait to kill Lu An. It seems that the suppression during this period has made her suffocate. Before Jinxian came to the village, we had summed up a set of village rules for self-protection. , you can deal with her as much as possible to protect the living people in the village. But now this set of rules is estimated to last for three days, and she will start killing. You must solve this problem within three days, otherwise everyone will have to Let's die together."

He clapped his hands, and when he first entered the house, the person who had heard the village chief's eyes recede pushed open the door of the village chief's house with a thick wooden sign on his back.

The wooden sign looks quite old, with some delicate carvings on the corners, like an old object, but when you look at the front, there are only some words scribbled in ink, which looks very informal.

The village chief ordered the man to place the wooden sign on the ground of the main hall, and everyone came forward to watch it. Not only Ning Yao and Chunyu, but many young people in the village had never seen the wooden sign. It is no longer necessary to abide by these village rules, and the wooden sign has been put away for some years.

——Lujiachong Village Committee Xuan

Ning Yao was about to take pictures to record these regulations, but was stopped by the villagers sternly. The village chief explained to them: "Please understand, including the village rules, all information in our Lujiachong is strictly prohibited from being circulated outside, and taking pictures is naturally not allowed. Allowed."

"So many words, I can't remember them for a while..." Ning Yao curled his lips and put away his phone angrily.

Chunyu took out his small notebook, tore off a piece of paper, and said to the village chief, "Then let's record some key words on the paper, and burn this piece of paper when we leave the village. Can you see it?"

The village chief didn't speak, which was his acquiescence.

When writing "special compensation", Chunyu stopped writing: "May I ask, what is the so-called 'special compensation' here?"

The village chief didn't give a clear explanation, but just smiled, trying to fool around.

But Ning Yao is not willing to let go of this clue: "If you want to get rid of the evil spirits in this village once and for all, you can't always hide it like this. I suggest that everyone should be more open and honest, and it will also save us from wasting time on useless things. place."

Before the village chief could think of a word, Chunyu immediately raised a new question: "We have roughly visited your village and saw that almost every household in your family has a pigsty next to the main house, which means that basically every household has a pigsty. Everyone has a sideline business of raising pigs, but the village regulations explicitly prohibit the villagers from eating these pork, is there any problem with your local pork?"

"We are a village where coffins have been made for generations, and there are some taboos that other villages don't have." A thin middle-aged man came in from the door and answered Chunyu's question for the village head. He smiled politely and extended his hand. He gave Chunyu Ning Yao two cigarettes, but after being rejected by the two of them, he put the cigarettes back in good temper.

The village chief frowned: "Lu Tuo is here."

Lu Tuo nodded respectfully to the village head: "The children in the family were frightened by Lei, and they finally went out after putting them to sleep. They came late."

The village head greeted him: "It's not too late, this is a good time to talk to the two masters about our village."

Lu Tuo stood next to the village chief from his kindness, and explained in detail on behalf of the village chief and Chunyu: "There are indeed many people in the village who raise pigs, and the two masters are knowledgeable people, and they should also know the relationship between the five animals and the five internal organs. The main kidney water, especially the pigs raised in the humid land like ours, is more cloudy. In addition, there are always evil spirits making troubles. People in the village are prone to running into evil after eating it. Prohibiting villagers from eating local pork is also for everyone's safety. "

Ning Yao was puzzled: "Since that's the case, why do you need to raise pigs?"

Lu Tuo turned his head and looked at Ning Yao: "As a side job, I usually eat some household garbage, and I can make some money by selling it after fattening it up. It's a good deal after all."

Taking advantage of Lu Tuo's enthusiasm, Chunyu took up the conversation smoothly: "Then what is this 'special compensation'? Who do you ask for this compensation?"

Lu Tuo, who was chattering, was choked out at once, and he subconsciously glanced back at the village chief, seeing that the village chief's face remained unchanged, he explained stutteringly: "This... this is an attack on evil spirits after doing evil. This kind of containment mechanism, through this kind of compensation, can restrict the actions of some evil spirits. It is... a price that is not convenient to say. Of course, as long as you can get rid of the evil spirits before they harm others, this compensation is neither necessary nor important. gone."

Chunyu caught new information: "The price?"

Lu Tuo spread his hands helplessly: "There is a price for inviting a golden fairy, you should already know it? Both are 'prices', which mean the same thing. Master, we are already very frank, and you should also show some sincerity gone."

"Sincerity?" Ning Yao looked puzzled, "What else do we need to show sincerity?"

"That's it." Lu Tuo smiled, "In order to protect the safety of most people in the village, we had to sacrifice a small number of people. Of course, everyone knows that this is definitely illegal."

He stepped forward and put his hand on Ning Yao's shoulder, seeming to have a good relationship: "But we don't want any villagers to go to jail for this, understand?"

Ning Yao patted his chest: "Understood, I promise to keep my mouth shut!"

Lu Tuo shook his head: "This is not sincerity."

Ning Yao was stunned: "Uh, do you need me to make a written statement?"

Lu Tuo still shook his head and whispered in his ear: "No, my so-called sincerity means...you need to agree with us, so as to ensure that you will really keep your mouth shut."

Ning Yao's mind was completely confused, and he just followed his words in a daze: "How can I stand on the same ground as you?"

"Naturally—killing people."
