"What to eat? Or cooked food?"

Fu Yan frowned and asked, "Where did it come from specifically?"

"It wasn't written." Cen Yi said, "That's what was written in the village diary. It is a gift from the Holy Mother. And after the first person went to get the food, gradually other believers could also get the food when they went again, so people in the village went there one after another."

Cen Yi added: " But not everyone can get food, right?"

"Yes. It seems that these people are not pious enough, so they did not receive the gift." Cen Yi said, "Oh, by the way, it is said in the village history that Shengxi Village is for To help the village overcome the disaster as soon as possible, we also organized the Madonna's Day in advance. I mean, the Madonna's Day with a sacrificial nature."

Fu Yan asked: "Did you tell me about the selection of children?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said that I made an exception. , not long after that, some villagers got food." Cen Yi replied, "I was still thinking about what these people could use to make temporary sacrifices during the famine years. I just heard you say that they used children to make sacrifices. "Human Sacrifice", then I realized that what they were offering as sacrifices was human beings. In those days, people were dying of hunger everywhere, so it was probably easier for them to "offer" children. Since they wouldn't survive anyway, it might feel better to offer them to the Holy Mother." "

Just. Like this?" Fu Yan asked, "Is there any description of this matter?" "

No, the core idea of ​​this matter is that the Virgin Mary rescued the villagers in the famine." Cen Yi said, "The original text is not so long, I use vernacular and You said it. Why don't you go back and read the original text."

"No need." Fu Yan believed in Cen Yi's level and just checked again, "Didn't it mention that people from other villages and thieves also came to rob Food, but was blocked by wild beasts?"

"Huh? No?" Cen Yi recalled carefully, "There is a saying that people outside also want to get the blessing of the Holy Mother, and the Holy Mother 'shuns them'. No specifics Write about how to 'avoid'."

Fu Yan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "I have a guess."

"Don't be so secretive, Xiao Fu." The lead reporter said, "If you have any guesses, just tell me. . This place even practices 'human sacrifice', what else can scare us?"

Fu Yan then said: "There is a word called 'Yi Zi and eat'."

After saying this, everyone fell silent A few seconds.

It's not that they don't understand the word, it's that the meaning pops up in their minds, as if they were hit hard on the head. Some kind of impulse rolled up the throat, and the imagination triggered by just four words made everyone feel sick.

It was Cen Yi who was the first to confirm: "Are you saying that those meats are not the game given by the Virgin Mother, but... children who starve to death?" "

This is just a guess on my part, you can think so -" Fu Yandao , "They held a ceremony and carried out a 'human sacrifice', and those children were thrown into the cave. After that, people began to be able to get meat, and it was cooked. This is for sure, don't chop it up and cook it." If it's cooked, I'm afraid even those hungry cultists may not be able to eat it."

Cen Yi said: "According to this, those people who prayed to the Holy Mother but did not get food are actually because they still dare not eat humans. ? It's just that in order to cover up the matter, other villagers wrote them off as people who were not pious enough."

"Maybe." Fu Yan paused and then said, "I was just thinking, if the pit used to throw children is just like Fang Xin Yue said..."

Fang Xinyue felt that this was too disgusting, and was suddenly called out: "Me?" "

Yes, if it is as you said, it is just because of tidal changes or some kind of mountain pattern, the water will recede once every ten years. . So after three years of severe drought and extreme water shortage, it is very likely that the tide will recede." Fu Yan said slowly, "When the villagers see the receding tide, they will think that it is time to sacrifice their children. In other words, they are just too lazy to deal with it in detail. Children who starved to death, so they simply threw them in as sacrifices. After that, the first person who was so hungry came and looked at the children in the pit, or at the meat..."

Fang Xinyue said: "But , Those are people! How can they actually eat it? Even if one or two madmen do this, the whole village... I just want to vomit just imagining it!" "

This is a tacit understanding." Cen Yi said, "They If they want to survive, they can only silently follow in the footsteps of the former, otherwise they can only wait for death. But if they want to deceive other people, themselves, and future generations, they can only write it as a gift from the gods. And outsiders simply cannot If you can't find a cave to get food, it's natural to be shunned by the Virgin."

Cen Yi thought of a word - "two-legged sheep" - but he didn't say it to make everyone feel more disgusted. He turned around and said: "Perhaps those who eat human flesh may not be truly saved. This is what happened in the disaster years. The dead people are likely to carry various viruses, some of which cannot be killed even by high temperatures. It is transmitted to those who eat it. For example, prions, if infected, may damage the brain..." "

So, the people in Shengxi Village are so crazy now?" Another male reporter also said with a disgusted expression, "They Maybe they are all the descendants of those villagers who eat human flesh! No wonder these people are so crazy. Their ancestors cannibalized people and went crazy by eating their brains. They have inherited it!" The

leading reporter said: "There can't be so many people who eat human flesh. Aren't there only ten children for each sacrifice? Even if they all are eaten, people in the famine era have no meat at all, how many people can be supported?"

Fu Yan heard this question, thought for two seconds, and said: "About this matter... ..."

"Do you have any more guesses?"

"That's right. And there's another thing I forgot to tell you just now." Fu Yan said, "Didn't I say that there were more than ten children's corpses in the pit of the cave? Finally, I forgot to tell you. The ones above should have been thrown in just after the coma, and they look very complete, which is normal. But the ones below, theoretically at least ten years ago, still look very complete, with almost no signs of decay.

"I doubt it. , after these remains are submerged in water, some miraculous reactions will occur, causing the remains in the water to look incorruptible after ten or decades. It may be because of this that a large amount of methane gas has not accumulated in the cave due to decay, and the entire cave will not collapse with a little spark. "

Fu Yan stopped after saying this. But everyone else understood that the main purpose of what he said was not to talk about the embalming of the corpse.

Fang Xinyue said in shock: "You mean, those hungry villagers might put them in the water? Anyone who has been there for ten or several decades...? !

"I don't know, it's just a guess. " But it doesn't matter if it's not. In short, there's no need to regard this as a real miracle, don't think about it. Fu Yan paused and decided to change the topic, "Didn't you read something else?" Go ahead and talk. "

The last two sentences were obviously directed at Cen Yi. If another NPC had told him, he would probably have to deal with other messy things in the village chronicles of Shengxi Village. But Cen Yi had Fu Yan's head on his mind. Dian Bo opened his mouth and said: "I also saw a story in this book of monsters. To put it simply, it said that Nuwa created a village of people and protected them forever. They have watched over their children since they were young until they grew up and passed away. As long as they are in the Holy Breath Village, they will be blessed by the Holy Mother. "

"......Um? Fu Yan was speechless, "You don't mean to say that Nuwa built a Holy Breath Village with all the effort, right?"

"I know it sounds ridiculous, but after I read the story, it felt like that. " "Cen Yi said, "It says that a long time ago, a child got lost in the mountains one day, and then completely disappeared, and no one in the village found him. Later, the child's mother had a dream about a very tall woman with the face of a human and the body of a snake, and the missing child was beside her.

"The child looked very healthy and happy, and the woman said that she liked children and would take care of them when they grew up, so there was no need to look for more children. She also said that the people in that village were actually the descendants she created, so the whole village was created by her. He grew up under her protection. After the mother of the child wakes up, if there is another missing child in the village, the villagers will know that the child was taken care of by that goddess and will not look for him."

Fu Yan asked: "This story mentions the name 'Nu Wa' Have you?"

"No." Cen Yi said, "She is the so-called 'goddess' in this story. She looks like Nuwa and does half of the things she does like the legendary Nuwa. I just summed it up casually." "

This story... ...How ridiculous." Fang Xinyue was speechless, "You believe it in a dream?"

"It's just a fairy tale, what kind of logic do you need?" Cen Yi said, "From this point of view, this goddess really looks like the Holy Mother of Shengxi Village. . At least taking away the children, and the so-called blessing of the village, are very similar to the setting of the Virgin Mary."

"But the appearance is not the same, right?" Fu Yan said, "You just said that the statue of the Virgin Mary has a human face and a snake body... "

At this moment, the boy grabbed Fu Yan's hand and squeezed it.

"Huh?" Fu Yan was startled for a moment, then turned his head towards the boy, "What?"

The boy couldn't speak, so he could only scratch Fu Yan's palm in the dark. It's a little itchy every now and then. Fu Yan resisted the urge to scratch. He didn't know what he was going to draw at first, but when he drew a long stroke, Fu Yan suddenly guessed: "Are you drawing the human face and snake body you just mentioned?" The

boy immediately Squeeze his hand.

--It really is?

Fu Yan was startled for a moment and asked, "What's wrong with this appearance?"

The boy didn't seem to know how to express his thoughts. He hesitated for a while before raising his hand and tracing Fu Yan's face slowly and gently with his fingers. Touch down gently. His fingertips went from Fu Yan's forehead, to his cheeks, to his chin, and even down his shoulders. Fu Yan was silent for a while, and suddenly felt blessed. He pulled the boy close to his ear and said, "You mean, the human face and the snake body are the appearance of the Holy Mother, right?" At such a close

distance, the boy nodded directly. Fu Yan could still feel the other person's touch on the side of his face.

——It seems that the identity of the "goddess" can almost be summed up.

Fu Yan looked at the tasks that had not yet moved in the taskbar and felt that the answer was almost ready to come out. It's not finished yet, maybe he needs to finalize it.

Determine whether the situation posted at the sacrifice is a manifestation of the Holy Virgin or a man-made farce. It was even determined whether the so-called "gods saved people from famine" in the past was a real miracle or a lie spread by the victims to cover up the truth after cannibalism.

Fu Yan was about to catch Cen Yi and ask in a low voice, but suddenly he had a premonition. He turned his head and looked into the dark woods. Although his eyes could not see anything clearly, he still felt that something was about to appear.

Cen Yi asked: "What, what did the kid want to express just now? Has he heard that legend..."

"Shh!" Fu Yan covered his mouth, "Someone is coming!"

As if to confirm his words, just a few seconds later, Several shaking lights appeared on the ridge in the distance!
