I'm doing crazy things in Beng3

The man opened his mouth, took two steps back, and spoke dejectedly, his voice extremely old and hoarse.

"Ying will be back soon, you should leave with her! The farther you run, the better, and never come back... Remember to listen to your sister in the future, eat well, take medicine well, and grow up well..."

Then he raised his head and looked at Lin affectionately, stroking her hair affectionately.

"Live well, my daughter..."

The voice was extremely sad, sending out the last and most sincere blessing.

Only then did Lin Wei notice that the man also had a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.

Rin looks even more like her father than Sakura.

"Thank you, Father..."

Lin smiled and nodded, tears couldn't help but flow down, then she shook her head, wiped away her tears, and seriously rejected her father's kindness.

"But if I leave, what will happen to the sacrifice?"

"Don't worry about it. I have my own way."

Father is getting ready to leave.

Lin didn't know where he got the strength from, but he grabbed his father's sleeve and stopped him from leaving.

"My father is the village god, and my sister is the village priestess. If my sister and I leave like this, the uncles and aunts in the village will not let you go!"

"This is an adult matter, Rin, you are still young, you don't understand..."

The father tried to break free, but Rin held on too tightly. Fearing that he might hurt his daughter, the father had to resort to gentle words of persuasion.

"Father, this is my responsibility. I will not run away."

Lin's eyes were stubborn, firm but pleading.

"In previous years, when the village held sacrifices, other families had to offer their daughters as sacrifices. People are all made of flesh and blood, so which family wouldn't be sad? But they didn't run away in the end. Why can I run away now that it's my turn to fulfill my obligations to the village? This will make the people in the village lose their morale!"

"These days, everyone's life is hard. It doesn't rain, and crops can't grow in the fields. People are starving to death. If we can't unite, more people will die! Father, you are the chief of the shrine and the head of the village. You should lead everyone through this famine! How can I just leave?"

Lin loosened his grip, and as if he had run out of strength, his voice became lower.

"Father, I am so useless! I shouldn't have embarrassed you at this time... You see, I have never recovered from this disease since I was a child, and it may be difficult to recover in the future... I understand that I have been a burden to father and sister for so many years. At least at this time, I can do something for father and sister. This is an extremely happy thing for me..."

"Ugh……"

The father sighed to the sky. His daughter was right. He was not only a father, but also the chief of Yae Village. So many villagers still depended on him...

I slapped myself hard.

This damn world!

The father was filled with great grief and anger, but he still tried his best to give his daughter a guilty smile and nodded stiffly.

Lin smiled with relief, and nodded happily as if he had been praised.

"Ok!"

Lin threw back the quilt and carefully got out of bed. She first declined her father's hand and slowly put her feet on the ground, then carefully stood up and slowly let her weak body adapt to the new balance.

"Father, look, I can get out of bed by myself!"

Lin seemed very excited, raising his little face as if he was showing off his toy to his father.

The father also nodded sadly and gently stroked his daughter's cheek.

"Yes, my daughter is the best... Sakura too, Rin too... You are all my pride..."

"Thank you, father."

Lin took a deep breath, staggered slowly, and walked towards the door step by step. He almost fell several times, but he stood firm stubbornly, not asking his father to help him, nor did he ask Lin Wei to help him.

I walked to the door and pushed it open with great effort. After trying for a long time, I just couldn't step over the obviously low threshold.

Lin tried several times but failed, so he had no choice but to give up, sighed, turned around and said to his father apologetically,

"Father, my sister will be back soon, but I'm afraid I can't walk the rest of the way. So, please help me..."

Her father squatted down, carried her steadily on his back, then staggered out of the room step by step, in silence.

Lin Wei just watched without saying a word, and followed silently behind him, walking towards the predetermined destination.

Chapter 47: Rin and Ling, Sakura and Sakura

There is another path behind Sakura and Rin's house that leads directly to the shrine on the back mountain. This is not a regular mountain road, but a very narrow and simple dirt road, winding and covered with sand and gravel. If it rains, it will be easy to fall.

Lin Wei carefully memorized every bend and every weed on the path, because Lin had mentioned the origin of this path when they were chatting before.

Originally, the village had only one mountain road leading to the shrine. The villagers raised funds and went to the mountains to mine stones to build the road. The road was carefully maintained on weekdays, and villagers would often come to clean it voluntarily.

Later, Yaezakura became a shrine maiden. In order to balance her duties at the shrine and taking care of her sister, she found a way to open a small road outside the main road, leading directly from the shrine to Yaezakura's residence.

This way, she can reduce the time she spends at home every day by more than half, and have more time to take care of her younger sister.

Ying was just a little girl at that time, how much strength could she have?

This simple mountain road is probably the limit of what she can do.

There is even a fork in the road at the mountainside, one end leads to the Yae Shrine, and the other end leads directly to the mountains and forests in the distance. The purpose is self-evident.

Lin Wei walked on this unsteady path, sighing and feeling a little sad. He could imagine a weak little girl gritting her teeth and desperately swinging a hoe that was not commensurate with her body size, once, twice...

She might accidentally roll down the hillside because of exhaustion, getting bruised all over, and then stubbornly get up, climb back to the middle of the mountain, back among the soil and stones, continue swinging, continue fighting, and continue her unfinished work.

But now, it is forced to undertake another completely opposite mission.

This damn world, this damn era!

Lin Wei also began to curse in his heart.

But he could do nothing, because the ending of everything was already determined, and he could only silently become a spectator.

My father is not very old, perhaps only in his thirties, and he is very light, so he can be blown down by a gust of wind; but at this moment, my father's steps are old and heavy, as if he is an old man who is carrying a weight that his life cannot bear, but he walks steadily step by step, and there is no need to worry about him falling.

Lin Wei followed quietly behind him, saying nothing, just taking everything in and keeping it in his heart.

It was getting dark when we arrived at the Yae Shrine.

The man walked up the stairs without stopping, carrying his daughter on his back;

Lin Wei stood at the intersection of three roads. After a moment of silence, he followed the same route as last time, heading towards another similar yet different destination.

Everything seems like a lifetime ago, familiar, but ultimately different.

Lin Wei followed the footsteps of the father and daughter and climbed the last staircase. It was much shorter than the last time and he soon reached the end and stepped into the final torii gate, reaching the end and the beginning of everything.

Looking past the father and daughter who had already stopped, Lin Wei first admired the familiar yet unfamiliar Yae Shrine.

Although it is small in size, it is majestic and grand. It is the only building in the village that is truly built with blue bricks and black tiles.

There are also the solemn torii gates along the way, and the clean and tidy bluestone mountain road leading directly to the shrine.

Lin Wei's heart moved, and he turned his head to look at the poor and simple Yae Village at the foot of the mountain...

You can say those villagers are stupid, ignorant, and vulgar;

But it really cannot be said that they are greedy, arrogant, or cruel.

Look at Yae Village below your feet. They have done their best within the scope of their knowledge.

It is indeed ignorant and pathetic, but who can be blamed?

Lin Wei looked up at the sky which was already beginning to darken, dark clouds were rolling in, and heavy rain was about to come.

Zi Feiyu, know the joy of fish?

Lin Wei no longer looked at the village behind him.

You are not a fish, so how do you know the suffering of a fish?

After all, it's just a struggle in this world that is neither gentle nor correct.

Five hundred years ago and five hundred years later, it’s just that the vision has been broadened.

Lin Wei looked at the girl who obediently stretched out her hands and let her father tie her hands up.

There is no difference between fifty thousand years ago and fifty thousand years later!

Aren't there people who, one after another, group after group, voluntarily step up to the altar, offer themselves as sacrifices, and use their lives and blood to continue the path of their species forward in the darkness?

All the same...

"Father, can you do me one more favor?"

The pink-haired girl, who was kneeling quietly in the center of the altar, suddenly spoke to her father in an embarrassed manner, as if she was ashamed of her behavior;

"My sister will come here soon. She will definitely want to take me away! I'm afraid..."

Lin's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he lowered his head. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly raised his head and smiled at his father.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to help myself and run away with my sister, screwing up everything and causing my father and sister to be criticized by uncles and aunts because of me... So..."

Lin's smile is bright and lovely, like a young cherry blossom about to bloom;

"So... please, father, give me... my..."

Rin tried many times but couldn't finish the sentence.

"...Father, am I useless?"

Lin cried, as helpless as a kitten with nowhere to take shelter in the rain.

The father stood up slowly without saying a word. He understood what Rin meant.

He walked solemnly behind his daughter, slowly and carefully drew the sword from his waist, gritted his teeth, and cut two shallow wounds on Lin's ankles.

Lin held his breath and concentrated, and even though his body was tense because of fear, he didn't make a sound.

Hearing the sound of the sword being sheathed, Rin breathed a sigh of relief, and for the last time, he looked up at his father and gave him a lovely, bright smile.

"Thank you, father..."

Then, the smile became shallower and more bitter, the corners of the mouth trembled and drooped, the lips began to purse tightly, and trembled more and more.

Finally, she couldn't control herself and burst into tears, but she still managed not to lose her composure. She just lowered her head, cried, and shed tears...

"Woooooooo..."

Listening to the sad crying, Lin Wei found that his vision had become blurry without knowing when. He reached out to wipe it, but his hand was wet.

Why am I crying?

Along with this doubtful voice, tears began to flow out of his eyes uncontrollably. No matter how hard he wiped, he could not stop the tears from flowing like a flood.

Gradually, he felt something was wrong. Why did my hands feel so delicate?

His heart tightened, he wiped his face vigorously with his sleeve, dried the water from his eyes with a cloth, turned around suddenly, and saw Lin Wei standing behind him!

"Shh..."

Lin Wei smiled at him mysteriously and raised a finger to his mouth, signaling him to keep quiet.

"Lin Wei" looked down and saw that her red and white shrine maiden costume and the wide sleeve of her right hand were wet, and her tears even wet the shimenaga rope around her waist.

So, I am Yaezakura...

The pink-haired witch looked confused, a little unsure of the situation. She once again looked up at Lin Wei, who was a head taller than her.

Lin Wei smiled mysteriously at her again, without explaining anything, but just pointed to the entrance of the shrine.

Yaesakura turned around hurriedly and saw her father pulling another version of herself who was obviously much younger towards them. Behind them was a group of villagers surrounding them, with fanatical and somewhat crazy expressions.

Yaezakura was anxious and was about to rush towards Rin, but like a shadow, she passed through everyone out of thin air and could not actually make contact with her.

"how so?"

Yaesakura looked very sad. She called out Rin's name loudly and even put her hands on her sister's arms and shook them hard in an attempt to wake her up.

However, she couldn't do it. At this moment, she was really just a shadow.

After realizing the reality, Yaezakura fell to the ground and cried, filled with grief and anger.

Lin Wei walked over and gently pulled her up, watching this cruel ending with her.

Yaezakura closed her eyes and turned her head to the side, gritting her teeth and not wanting to watch or listen. Lin Wei didn't force her and just watched.

The young Yaezakura silently took the sacrificial knife handed to her by her father, silently walked up to the altar, and silently came to her sister's altar.
