Chapter 33 Bloodletting
"Woooo."
The night gradually became deeper and the fog became sticky. The mountains in the distance were slim and could not be seen clearly. I don’t know what kind of animal heard a few wails at night, which made the night particularly deserted.
At the foot of the mountain, there were flashing flames, and more than a dozen families could be seen vaguely.
The village is very quiet, most of the houses are dark, and only the house at the east end is still lit.
"She was caught in the evil spirit, and the evil spirit was held in her body and she had to bleed." A hoarse voice came, and the sound was very unpleasant, as if her throat had been burned by fire.
"Listen to you, I'll leave it to you." Another voice of gratitude sounded, as if very happy.
"Woooo."
The whine sound in the room suddenly became louder and the sound became quicker.
There was only one oil lamp in the house, but more than twenty people sat around it, squeezing the house tightly.
In the middle of the room, a woman was tied with her hair messy and greasy, sticking to each other. Only a few pieces of fabric left on her clothes were hanging on her body, and she couldn't stop anything. There were ropes tied to her body, and her skin was covered with blue and purple wounds.
Among the crowd sitting around, there were many bachelors, and their twinkling eyes passed by the woman intentionally or unintentionally, as if their breathing became rapid.
The woman's mouth was stuffed tightly by a piece of linen, and her eyes were filled with unconcealed fear.
"Turn your man, bear it a little bit. Yan Po is also for your own good. If you release blood, the disease will be cured." A middle-aged man who looked at the honest and flirted with some distress and said comfortingly.
The Yan Po he mentioned was an old woman who looked like she was sixty or seventy years old.
Her figure was hunched and her body was as thin as a skeleton. Her diluted white hair was carefully tied into a bun by her, and she inserted it with a wooden hairpin. Her skin was like wrinkled and dried yellow paper, and there seemed to be hidden secrets between the ditches.
Yan Po seemed to love beauty when she was young, and this habit has continued to this day.
Her bumpy face was covered with thick powder and her blush was gently applied.
Po Yan smiled and showed several big yellow teeth missing. She took out a short knife from under the platform beside her and slowly walked to the woman.
"Woooo."
The woman's whimper became louder, and she shook her head desperately, her eyes full of horror.
"You have to be obedient, you can harm you?" The honest man hugged the woman's head and kept persuading.
The knife in Yan Po's hand pressed on the skin on the woman's thigh. He held it with one hand and used force on the other hand. The knife was not very sharp. She needed some strength to cut the woman's skin.
"Sher."
Accompanied by a subtle sour sound, the knife cut open the flesh on the woman's thigh, and blood couldn't stop flowing out.
Blood dripped on the ground and flowed to the woman's private parts. The emotions of the people sitting around became slightly excited, and they looked at everything in front of them without blinking.
It was as if watching a grand sacrifice.
"Believe in God and believe in God, and you will not suffer from all diseases."
Some people are chanting some vague words, and gradually, more and more people are chanting together.
These people have a different kind of vitality, their eyes are bright, and they seem to be full of hope for the future.
The woman's tears were flowing out, and she struggled harder and more hysterical. Her man had to press her head desperately and whisper some comforting words.
At first, her resistance was quite fierce, but as time went by, her movements gradually became smaller.
The blood formed a small pond on the uneven ground, and the house was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and the splashed blood had long soaked the clothes of the loyal man.
It was warm at first, but now it is cold.
The loyal and kind man suddenly let go of the person he had been holding tightly and gasped.
The woman's eyes stared at her tightly, and the glow in her pupils had long disappeared. Her face was pale and a layer of blue. Her mouth opened slightly, like a fish that had reached the shore, which was dried alive.
"Spiriting a man...Spiriting a man...Spiriting a man...Spiriting a man...She is dead."
The man's lips trembled twice and took two steps back. He pointed at the woman, but looked up at Po Yan.
Yan Po's face remained unchanged, but she slowly wiped the knife with a white cloth.
"The evil spirit in her is too strong. When I bleed her, the evil spirit rushed out all of her. She couldn't stand it." Yan Po's voice was low and she explained impatiently.
"Then... can you lead men into the Pure Land?"
The man's heartache tears flowed out. He looked at the miserable woman in death, he hesitated for a while before asking.
"Your woman came from another place. If you don't believe in the empress, you always want to escape. There is a high probability that you can't get in." Yan Po sneered and put the knife back into the partition under the table.
"Then...what should I do? Well, I'm still thinking about reuniting with her in Pure Land Township in the future?" The man was a little anxious. If he couldn't see a woman in Pure Land Township, wouldn't he still be a bachelor after he died?
How can I have the face to face my parents?
"It's okay to let her enter the Pure Land. You recite the "Accumulating Blessings Sutra" a thousand times a day, and you have accumulated enough blessings for her. I can't say that the Empress will let her in for an exception." Yan Po smiled, her face was indescribable.
...
Wu Xuanyi walked on the mountain path with difficulty. A layer of frost appeared on the ground and fell on the smooth stone slabs, which was a little smooth. There were abysses on both sides of the mountain path. If you were not careful, you had to slide down.
He held the donkey behind. This beast was really timid. He didn't dare to climb the road up the mountain. He had to pull it hard.
"Then there is a village ahead. We will arrive after we pass this mountain." Wu Xuanzhi's eyes were nice, and even from a distance, he could see the village in the distance.
Those men who worked in the workplace were sweating all over, and they were able to rest when they heard it, and they were all energetic.
"This trip is really not easy. If we hadn't paid a high salary, we wouldn't have come to this place." Although it was not far from the next county, the road was extremely rugged. It took them two days on the road just.
"Hey, you guys wait for me for a while, I'll go and put some water."
There were three hurdles, and a man couldn't hold it anymore. He found a space and faced the cliff. He untied the rope tied his pants and felt refreshed.
"As soon as I see Xiao Lang, I'm going out today..." Seeing the empty place, the man opened his throat and shouted.
A local love song was called like a boatman's horn by him.
The others around also burst into laughter and yelled.
"Oh my god, what the hell!"
