Chapter 622 (2/2)

Xue Junli’s expression was heavy

With that order, the group immediately followed

This ti was already a strenuous task, not toan old lady on his back, he was faltering and had difficultyforward

The crowd followed not too far or close The people ahead climbed too slowly and they had to slon the pace of following They even chatted because they were too bored

Tang Mianqiu, “Qiuqiu, what do you think of this?”

Xiao Tangqiu pondered for a moment and replied, “Actually, I have heard of si Mianmian was iqiu said, “I heard that there used to be a poor, se was very poor so they would carry the elderly who could no longer work up the mountain and let the people live…”

Tang Mian the old? They can just watch their parents die?”

Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips, “For them, this should have become a tradition? They have abandoned their parents, but they know that they will also be abandoned by their children in the future Their parents were sacrificed and at the same time they will be sacrificed for their children in the future”

Tang Mianmian’s mouth twitched, “What kind of fucked up feudal and barbaric tradition is this? Even the poorest shouldn’t do this! What’s the difference between this and personally killing their parents?”

Xiao Tangqiu nodded, “This custoe so I re children for food’s simple and crude cruelty in the 1980s and 1990s, this peaceful cruelty… seezhen ca on with that mountain God? Is there really a qiu shook his head, “I don’t know Maybe it’s a local legend Perhaps the ancestors of Hundred Ghosts Town made up the story that there is a Holy Mountain near the village in order to disguise and beautify their actions of abandoning their elderly Since there is athe old, they were sending the old to accompany the mountain God The old people sent to the ‘Holy Mountain’ will protect their children and grandchildren with the mountain God and bless this Hundred Ghosts Town…”

Tang Mianmian snorted immediately, “If I were an elderly sent to this deserted area, I would never blessand that shi+tty Hundred Ghosts Town! You killed ? Peh! You wish!+ I will curse you to die an ugly death! ”

Xue Junli sneered, “Are the old people sent to the mountains really innocent? Haven’t they abandoned their parents before?”

Tang Mianmian was struck dumb, Xue Junli’s words really made sense… Those old people ere abandoned on the “Holy Mountain”, each of them once carried the old people from their home to the “Holy Mountain” and abandoned the as they were villagers in Hundred Ghosts Town, no one was innocent They used to be young and once were the young people who carried their elderly to the hills And now, the young people who carried therow old sooner or later and becoh they had not stained their hands with blood, they had still fallen into the quagmire of sin, and each of them was a part of that cycle of sin

No one was innocent

Even that grandrand the food saved by her elder’s “self-sacrifice”, and noas her turn She beca” person

Did she really want to die?

It probably was not the case Everyone was afraid of death, but she knew that if she didn’t do this, the food at hoh and her son may starve The worst was to beco the authority of tradition

Everyone was silent Xiao Tangqiu was lost in thought Theup the mountain with his mother on his back not far away He was exhausted and still didn’t stop He didn’t seem to dare to stop Maybe he was afraid that once he stopped, he would never have the courage to carry his mother on the top

The old lady was so relieved that she sometimes wiped the sweat on her son’s face with a sleeve

The sky was getting dark and the two of the closer to the peak of the hill

Theheavier and slower and the old lady suddenly spoke again, “We’re about to reach the top of the hill, Taro is indeed ritted his teeth and said nothing

“In the future, once ood care of himself, eat on time, and wear more clothes…” The old lady was like an ordinaryher son to wear qiu was also feeling down He couldn’t help but think of hisof this, he couldn’t help but look at Shen Yuan and saw that Shen Yuan’s gaze was heavy and thoughtful

His heart suddenly ju?”
