This question had always greatly puzzled Dai Wei.
However, everyone had always been reverent towards the mysterious temple, not daring to defy it. Therefore, under normal circumstances, everyone would choose to count off, since it was just a few people and wouldn't waste much time. Thus, it had always been a routine ritual.
However...
Dai Wei remembered very clearly.
It was when he was fourteen years old, one night, having already gone to bed when he suddenly heard a commotion.
Woken up by the noise, he got out of bed and went outside, only to see his dad's friend, Uncle Lei San, looking for him.
"Uncle Lei?"
At that time, Dai Wei found that the usually robust Uncle Lei San was crying his eyes out.
"Lao Dai, something terrible has happened! The village head told us not to talk about it outside, but, but I'm scared!"
That was the first time Dai Wei had ever seen Uncle Lei San cry like that.
