What was too late? Although I didn’t know, the faint sound of drumming made my heart inexplicably frightened. It was as if the moment the sound sounded, a horrifying secret was officially revealed in front of my eyes.

The curtain opened.

"The child will be fine for the time being, at least he won't die in a short period of time. If you are really determined to save everyone and are not here just to explore the secrets out of curiosity, then follow me now. If not, follow me too.

If I leave and you become a sacrifice, it will only make the evil more powerful." Mr. Liu's urgent words made me wake up instantly after I was stunned when I heard the sound of drum music coming from the river.

I inexplicably believed in this old man. Although I was not here to explore the secrets, let alone save people, I was just looking for clues about Master. However, not saving people when they are in trouble has never been the style of our Lao Li lineage. Our Taoist heart

The foundation is the righteousness and the bottom line. If it is destroyed, there will be no way to talk about it.

Inexplicably, when I came to this village, I was burdened with a heavy responsibility again.

At Mr. Liu's urging, I glanced at the four crying children, silently apologized in my heart, and finally moved my steps. Small impatience can lead to big decisions about gains and losses. After years of growth, I finally learned how to handle them.

We left amidst Wei Donglai's sneer, but his words still lingered in my ears: "Those who can't escape will always be seen."

Mr. Liu didn't argue with Wei Donglai at all. He just pulled me down the hillside quickly. Unfortunately, the dozen or so people in this group were all old people. Their pace was destined not to be fast. Even if I could carry Mr. Liu away, what about the others?

?I can only follow their footsteps and leave.

The sound of the drumming is getting louder and louder, the banging drums and the high-pitched suona, with the unique melodious flavor of the northwest, form a cheerful "Welcome Song". This should be a wedding song, right? I

I'm not sure whether the suona has played too many sad music, just like "Orchid Flower". I always feel that there is a hint of sadness in it.

What's even more terrifying is the sad mystery, because although these music are clear, they are not as clear and thorough as the music in the world. Instead, they seem to come from the unknown space in the sky, with such an ethereal meaning! I

It's hard to imagine what kind of people are banging in the Yellow River. Did they come by walking on the water or by boat?

Even if I am really well-informed, this is beyond my knowledge and I have no way of imagining it.

My face was getting uglier and uglier, and I didn’t know why just hearing this music made me feel so heavy. Mr. Liu, who had been walking beside me, turned his head and glanced at me with his flashlight on.

, probably seeing my ugly face, he asked in disbelief: "Did you hear that?"

"What?" I didn't react for a moment, and I couldn't figure out what Mr. Liu meant.

"I mean, did you hear anything?" Mr. Liu said with some difficulty.

"I heard a loud drumming sound. Shouldn't I hear it when it's so loud? Old man, did you mean another sound?" I was a little unsure. Is this what Mr. Liu was asking about?

"You really heard it?" Mr. Liu's face became ugly, as ugly as mine, but he didn't explain anything. He just muttered a few words in a dialect that I couldn't understand. There were more than a dozen other old men.

The eyes he looked at me were suddenly full of sympathy. I didn't understand what this meant. Suddenly I felt a little flustered for no reason. Shouldn't I hear it?

While I was talking, halfway down the hillside, I heard deafening cheers coming from behind. At that moment, I felt that the will of the ghost soldier I invited had returned. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so fast? Who is it?

You casually broke my magic trick? Wei Donglai?

"The auspicious time has come. The sacred ship and the great messenger have also arrived. Let's see you off." A loud voice also sounded among the people's cheers at the same time, even overpowering the people's cheers. It was Wei Donglai's voice.

.

The magic of inviting gods has been broken, and among the people who have woken up, no one wants to hold me accountable. It seems that they are having a carnival at this moment. Wei Donglai's words made people's cheers louder, and gradually turned into a rhythm.

Wei Donglai shouted loudly, and Wei Donglai laughed. I couldn't help but look back. Wei Donglai and other men in black had already jumped off the high platform with their children in their arms, and also went down the hillside.

My heart is getting more and more confused. The people who reminded me to be careful while dancing, the people who anxiously pulled my pants when I didn’t kneel down, and the crumpled money the old man took out of his arms in the rented house.

With the crazy cheers, the crying faces of children, and the clear sound of drums, which one is the true face of the people in the town? Are they kind or evil? Sober or numb?

"Hey" Mr. Liu's long sigh echoed in my ears, and there were faint tears in his eyes, but no one explained anything to me, and I was full of doubts, which almost made my heart explode.

What's terrible is that the sound of the drum music is getting clearer and clearer. Accompanying the sound of the drum music, there are also the voices of people coming from the Yellow River. It seems that it is really a lively wedding procession coming towards this side. Waking up, the nothingness

The laughter and laughter were both real and illusory. I could hear it, but it seemed like I was watching a movie again. It was just the sound of a movie.

Among the illusory, joyful and peaceful sounds, there were also sounds of crying. The sounds were so desperate, but the more they cried, the louder people's laughter became, just like teasing a child and making him cry.

The cute appearance makes the adults more and more happy.

I seemed to be able to understand the emotions in it, mocking the crying person for not sparing his blessings, but the thoughts in my mind were getting more and more confusing, and by this time we had already reached the bottom of the hillside. Halfway up the hillside, there was the town

The so-called people sending off their relatives cheered so sincerely and from the bottom of their hearts, but there were also discordant sounds - a few suppressed sounds of mourning and crying.

"Let's go." Seeing me turn around, Mr. Liu's face was full of pain. He seemed to have no courage to look back, and he pulled me toward the exit of the timber transportation office.

I don't know whether it was because of his excitement or something else. Under the light of the flashlight, he was clearly full of familiarity in the wood transportation department. He also tripped over a piece of rotten wood and fell to the ground. He let out a painful groan and hugged him.

I couldn't stand up for a long time.

The people around him gathered around him, and the tears in Mr. Liu's eyes became even more intense. He struggled to stand up several times, but he just shouted: "Let's go, let's go!" Unfortunately, he couldn't stand up at all.

I didn't understand the reason for such a sad and anxious scene, so I could only step forward, help Mr. Liu up, carry him on his back, and say, "I'll carry you on my back."

But at this moment, unusual cheers rang out from the crowd, accompanied by the familiar sound of boats breaking the waves. Was it my imagination that there really was a procession to welcome the bride? My heart was inexplicably frightened and exploded.

My curiosity made me look back

"That's all, you heard it after all." Mr. Liu's helpless voice came from behind me, and I looked up and saw that the Yellow River, which was originally dark, suddenly lit up with an inexplicable light, like fire, but so void.

I couldn't move my feet at all. I just watched helplessly as the group of people seeing off their relatives had walked down the hillside to the edge of the Yellow River, which was very close at hand. Then they fell silent, and then everything happened.

Kneel down.

I clearly saw a few figures who were unwilling to kneel down, but were pulled down to kneel down. The suppressed and sad crying sounds came from their mouths.

Wei Donglai stood at the front of the team. Several men in black beside him raised the boys and girls in their hands. Several children were struggling and crying in the hands of the men in black, but no one stood up. They cried.

To no avail, this scene made my heart hurt inexplicably.

However, the next moment, a huge red boat inexplicably sailed out of the bend on the side of the backwater bay and stopped silently in the backwater bay. Then, another boat followed behind it.

The appearance of these boats does not make people feel at all at ease. Instead, it is filled with a strange smell. It seems that there are many people standing on the boats, and the cheerful sound of drums is coming from the boats!
