MTL - True and False Daughters Joined Forces [Metaphysics]-Chapter 268 The village eats people
The place was silent.
The night wind blew through, and the icy moonlight shone on the body, making it particularly cool.
"Eat, eat people?" Ruan Mei stuttered in surprise, her eyes were about to pop out, "Are these people okay? Are they hidden cannibals?"
Jin Changkong didn't understand: "Do human beings taste good? Why do humans eat humans? Few animals in nature eat their kin."
Yunxiao Yunting said in unison: "I haven't eaten it, I don't know."
Taoyao sneered: "This only shows that those humans are inferior to animals, killing cubs, killing parents and children, killing the same clan, eating the same clan, hehe."
The crimes are numerous, and it is not much different from Gu Fang, who took away his own son.
Even if it is such an outrageous thing as cannibalism, there is no human monster who doubts the authenticity of the information itself, which makes Bai Xiaoshu feel that he and his little brothers are respected, and have a secret joy in his heart.
"The lifespan of rats is generally not long. The news that the little brothers have inquired about is only in recent years. The news of the past few years has only been passed down, and there is only a vague approximation, which can only be used as a certain reference."
Not every short-lived mouse can have such an opportunity as Baixiaomouse. It is rare to have a clear thinking. That is to say, there are many kinds of mice on Changshou Island, and they hear and see many things. Only by integrating and supplementing a certain amount of association can we obtain the final information that Baixiaoshu needs.
"My little brothers don't know if they are cannibals or not, but I have seen them eat human flesh and shame them. How about you? Are you going to have a look?" Showing everyone the way.
Su Yunshao took the lead and went first: "Go!"
It's not easy for Bai Xiaoshou to become a handsome little brother who is 1.9 meters tall, and it is not easy to hide in Su Yunshao's pocket with the appearance of a small hamster.
This is how they cooperated during the day, and Jin Changkong would also fly over, and he didn't mind taking a little hamster that big, although Bai Xiaomo was really a little solid.
"Come up."
After Bai Xiaomo jumped up, he carefully moved his buttocks on Jin Changkong's claws, trying to find a place where his buttocks wouldn't stick, but unfortunately, the golden eagle's claws were really meatless.
Of course, at this point, he himself is the same.
Bai Xiaomo really wanted to sit on Jin Changkong's furry back, but Jin Changkong said that it would affect his flight. He was busy with work during the day, so he really didn't have time to care about comfort. Now... He pulled out a wool bowl from the space and tied it to him. Gold long empty paws.
Jin Changkong: "..." Do you still want to settle down on my paws? Don't be too aggressive!
After Baixiaoshu installed the wool bowl, he jumped in and turned around, and found that the comfort was acceptable, so he quickly took out a fragrant jerky from the space to bribe the driver.
"Brother, have a bite?"
"...Come on!" Jin Changkong took it as the fare.
Su Yunshao found out that the two of them were eating jerky, and asked Baixiaoshu for some to feed Yunxiao Yunting and Taoyao.
The goblins can eat whatever food they want, and the ghost envoys can only eat it after offerings, which is not very convenient on the road, but they have more things to care about, and they don't mind this little snack.
And I just mentioned the topic of cannibalism, they don't want to eat any meat for the time being, so as not to make related associations.
Ruan Mei: "I thought cannibalism was a terrible description, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Ge Yue: "I thought it was scary enough to send one's own children as sacrifices. Who would have thought that there would be cannibalism behind them. The selfishness and viciousness of human nature are really unimaginable."
Shan'er: "I didn't see this in Xiaoxiao's dream. I'm not sure if Xiaoxiao didn't know and was afraid of cannibalism, or if the situation of cannibalism only started in recent years."
"Xiao Xiao's psychological quality is not good. He will recall the scene where his friend was killed. If you really know that the village is eating people and have seen or tried it with your own eyes, such a picture should not be missed."
Su Yunshao believed that neither Wang Cuihua nor Aunt Hong could escape the magic formation he set up, so the possibility of Xiao Xiao being able to escape was even smaller.
The demons and ghosts of the King of Hell did not doubt Su Yunshao's ability, and thought down along her line of thought.
Ruan Mei: "That means Xiaoxiao didn't know about it?"
Ge Yue: "Could it be that eating people is just the behavior of individual villagers?"
Shan'er: "No matter how bad they are, it is possible for one or two people to eat people. People in an entire village can overcome psychological barriers to do this. I still feel a little scary and can't believe it."
The little mice only said that there was cannibalism in the village, and they didn't know how many people were involved. Baixiaoshu, who was holding the jerky in his mouth, suggested, "Let's go to the shameful place first, check the number, and understand. After the basic situation, I will find an insider, Yun Shao will cast an illusion, and Shan'er will know if he dreams of it?"
It's a good preconceived idea, but the reality is not so easy.
When they really got to the place where the villagers were embarrassed, all the demons and ghosts were discouraged, it was because this place was too special.
When Baixiaoshu was collecting news, they only knew a location closest to them from the little mice, and only when they arrived did they find out... It turned out to be a big cesspool.
Given that the location of the shame is too special, the work of counting the numbers suddenly becomes extremely difficult.
Ghost envoys were all human during their lifetime. Even if they were able to make their bodies transparent, they would not really come into contact with the cesspool. That kind of psychological shadow was still difficult to remove. They always felt that their whole body was stinky and dirty. You will feel that there is still a smell.
After long-term fermentation, the manure pit will emit gases such as biogas and hydrogen sulfide, and it is also corrosive to a certain extent. It may be fine to throw human bones in for a few days, but the longer the time, the harder it is to find traces.
Bai Xiaoshu covered his face: "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully."
He only thought that it was normal for a rotten smell where the corpses and human bones were thrown away, but he didn't expect that the real source of the smell was this, careless!
"It's okay." Su Yunshao turned around and left first. There are many ways to get clues, and there is no need to let the ghosts go to the cesspit to look for human bones.
Xuanmen pays attention to facts, and the police pay attention to evidence. They don't need to go down. The police are afraid that this trip will be indispensable.
Amitabha!
Hades: "Where are you going? Do you want me to use the ghost gate to see you off?"
Su Yunshao nodded: "Go to Ai'er's parents' house."
This cesspool is located in Gujia Village, northwest of Changshou Island. It is more than 20 miles away from Changshou Village. Will the villagers of Changshou Village carry human bones all the way here to throw them here? Too much work.
Really want to do this, what is the purpose? Framed and framed it? Neither Gujia Village nor Changshou Village could withstand the investigation.
So the only possibility is that the villagers in Gujia Village can also eat people.
Even if the information of Baixiaoshu's little brothers is wrong, there are no human bones in the cesspit here. As parents who love their children, they must know something.
The group quickly passed through the gate of **** and hid their identities to the home of their beloved son's parents.
Su Yunshao asked for a few overhead pictures from Bai Xiaoshu, and told Shan'er a few words, Shan'er wrote them down one by one, and quickly dived into the dream of the beloved's parents, linking the two's dreams together.
There was a fog in the dream, and the vision was greatly obstructed. Ai'er's mother couldn't see where she went. She put her hands on her mouth to make a trumpet, and shouted loudly: "Ai'er, are you there?"
The voice came out, and soon footsteps came towards this side, it was Ai'er's father.
The couple will be at a loss as to the current situation. At this moment, the thick fog around them faded a little, revealing a girl with a bamboo hat bent over to work in the field.
Looking at the familiar figure of the girl, the couple ran over: "Ai'er!"
Ai'er's mother hugged her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time: "Ai'er, mother has not seen you for a long time, you have no conscience, you don't come to see me in reality, you don't come to see me in dreams, I gave birth to you in October , how can you be so heartless?!"
Ai'er's father hugged his wife and daughter, enjoying the warmth of his wife and daughter, "It's alright, it's alright, our family is reunited!"
At this moment, the hugged girl raised her head, revealing the skeleton face with no flesh and blood.
"Ah—" Ai'er's mother shoved the skeleton away, screamed, turned around and ran.
Xu Shiren would indeed show his unusual potential when frightened. With this push by Ai'er's mother, the girl and Ai'er's father were pushed to the ground together, and Ai'er's father, who was holding the girl, was placed on the bottom.
With this action, the bamboo hat fell, revealing the white skull beneath it.
Ai'er's father was forced to face the skeleton, his face turned blue with fright, he screamed, pushed the skeleton away and ran away.
The couple ran desperately in front, and the skeletons in clothes and bamboo hats chased hard behind them. Every time they took a step, the bones made a rattling sound.
"Dad, Mom..."
The skeleton's mouth opened and closed, and a familiar voice emerged from it. It was the daughter they had not seen for a long time after dividing the two villages.
Aier's mother stopped running away, and as soon as she stopped, she was overtaken by Aier's father who ran behind.
Ai'er's mother ignored her timid husband, just watched the thin skeleton frame in clothes running closer and closer, and strangely saw some familiarity from it.
"...Are you Ai'er?"
"It's me, Mom." Two lines of blood and tears flowed from the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton, looking extremely pitiful and shocking.
The terrifying skeleton turned out to be his own daughter.
Ai'er's mother was no longer afraid, and carefully grabbed her daughter's fleshless skeleton, tears streaming down her face, "My poor Ai'er, how did you become like this?"
Ai'er's father, who had been running for a long time, seemed to circle in a circle, and then ran back again. At this time, he saw his wife crying at the skeleton, and heard his wife shouting at the skeleton, and his mind couldn't move.
The skull cried and said, "Dad, Mom, it's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I'm already dead, and there's really no way to see you!"
Ai'er's mother was anxious: "The village chief is your great-great-great-grandmother. Didn't she protect you well?"
The skeleton cried even more: "She is the one who harmed me! She is the one who harmed me like this!"
The couple was shocked: "What's going on?"
Skeleton: "I don't know what happened, but one day a man came to the house to talk to the village chief. I heard a few words when I passed by. The man looked at me with cold eyes, so scared that I couldn't even run. , the village chief told me to go, I was gone at the time, and fell asleep in a daze at night, and I became like this when I woke up."
This familiar process made the couple grit their teeth: "How dare she treat you like this!"
"Dad, Mom, I hurt so much. My whole body hurts. Every bone in my body feels like it has been thrown into a cesspool. It smells and hurts. I've always wanted to come to you, but I'm too weak."
As he spoke, the skeleton fell down like a rain of bone powder as if it had been corroded by something. Only one skeleton remained, and soon even the skeleton turned into powder.
A gust of wind blew, and the powder on the ground was lifted with the wind.
"No, no, no—!" Ai'er's mother grabbed and hugged desperately, and covering the powder with her body could not prevent her daughter's ashes from being blown away from her hands.
The kind of person she cherishes brutally killed when she doesn't know it, the feeling of powerlessness that can't stop the person she cherishes most from being taken away, it annoys her, drives her crazy, makes her resentful.
The wind stopped, and there was only an empty piece of clothing left on the ground. The clothing was covered with a bamboo hat, and the pointed horns of the bamboo hat were facing them, as if mocking their whims.
"Ahhhh-" Ai'er's mother shouted up to the sky, her eyes were red, "Gu Linghua, it's not enough for you to kill my two daughters, even the last one, I hate you, I want to kill you !"
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
No one knows what mothers who lose their cubs one after another will do out of hatred.
"Ah." Ai'er's father let out a short scream.
It turned out that two lines of blood and tears flowed out of his wife's eyes, exactly the same as the skeleton daughter who had just shed blood and tears.
The wife turned her head to look at him blankly: "I want to kill your great-great-grandmother, can you help me?"
Ai'er's father hesitated, but Ai'er's mother laughed in anger: "That old immortal killed your three daughters one after another, but you didn't dare to let a fart, I was really blind to marry you. Such a coward!"
Being scolded as a coward by his wife in front of him, Ai'er's father couldn't stand his face. He stabbed his neck and said in a very aggressive tone: "Which family on Changshou Island is not like this? Which family doesn't offer sacrifices to the sea god? Why is our family an exception?"
"Yes, I have lived on this island since I was a child, and I know that the island has always been like this. The first daughter was taken as a sacrifice and I recognized it, but what about the second daughter? Why was the second daughter taken as soon as she was born? gone?"
"This..." Ai'er's father got stuck.
"You don't know, right? I tell you, I asked the old immortal, and she said that she asked for it from the person who has been cooperating with our island and providing sacrifices for us. How ridiculous?"
Ai'er's mother laughed bleakly, beating her chest vigorously, making a thump, thump, "My baby girl, who was born after vomiting for half a year in October, is treated as a cargo and is going to leave. I, the mother, only watched At a glance, I don't know anything except that there is a love mark on my daughter's arm!"
Ai'er's father: "..." He lowered his head and said nothing.
Taking advantage of the couple's intense emotional quarrel in the dream, Shan'er quickly got out, "Sir, it's time to start!"
"Okay." Su Yunshao immediately started the illusion.
The next moment, the scene changed.
Ai'er's mother was lying in a small clinic on the island. She was sweating profusely after giving birth, and her face was pale, but her face was full of a mother's smile and brilliance, and she said with difficulty to the doctor who delivered her: "Give it to me. have a look."
The female doctor brought the baby over to show her, "It's a daughter."
Ai'er's mother saw that her daughter's face was red and wrinkled, her mouth was open and she was crying, and her hands and feet were moving randomly. Suddenly, she saw what seemed to be something on her daughter's arm.
"what is that?"
The female doctor looked in the direction of her line of sight, "Oh, it's a love birthmark, it's small and cute."
Love it?
Ai'er's mother smiled and said, "Then call her Ai'er."
Giving birth takes too much energy and effort. Ai Er’s mother fell asleep, and when she woke up, she saw her mother standing by the bed, and her husband and daughter were not there.
"Mom, where is my daughter?"
Mother: "I took it to drink milk."
The mother had no reason to deceive herself, and the mother of Ai Er believed it.
Until she wanted to see her daughter again and again, but couldn't see her for various reasons, she finally realized that something was wrong.
She desperately wanted to see her daughter, but the mother had no choice but to tell her the truth if she didn't want to: "Don't get excited, calm down and listen to me."
"Okay, say it!" The mother and daughter are heart-to-heart, Aier's mother already feels bad, but there is still a little hope in her heart.
The mother said: "The doctor checked Ai'er and she was healthy in all aspects. She was taken away by the village chief not long after she was brought back."
As soon as she heard the village chief, Ai'er's mother thought of the dead daughter. She was so angry that her lower body was pulled and hurt, and her face turned pale, but she couldn't care about the pain.
"What is she doing with my daughter? Does she want to treat my daughter as a sacrifice again?!"
"Don't get excited! She's the child's great-great-great-grandmother. It's normal to see the child."
Ai'er's mother was angry and anxious, and said: "Bah! Which great-great-great-grandmother would throw her great-great-great-granddaughter into the sea? I want to live longer if I don't die. , that's why I took my daughter as a sacrifice! She is so capable, she has another one to be her own! Sea God will definitely give her more life!"
The mother was speechless: "...What nonsense are you talking about? How old is she, how can she have another child?"
Ai'er's mother has already lost a daughter because of the village head, and she learned that the second daughter was taken away by the village head, and she is in a state of lingering fears.
The only thing she wants to do now is to get her daughter back, and she always feels that something will happen if she doesn't bring her back sooner.
"Mom, can you help me bring my daughter back?"
"Okay." To be honest, my mother was also a little scared.
For so long, there has never been a situation on the island where a child would be taken away by the village chief after birth.
The sacrifices offered to the sea **** are generally virgins and virgins over the age of three, but no one can say whether there will be any accidents, and whether there will be exceptions because this is the great-great-great-granddaughter of the village chief.
Mother rushed over in a hurry, came back with a slap print on her face, and said with red eyes, "That old immortal sent Ai'er away. No matter how I asked, she wouldn't say where it was sent."
a bolt from the blue!
Bad hunch came true!
The joy of being a mother is still there, and I am told that my daughter has been given away. What could be more cruel than this? !
"She, why did she send my daughter away? Why did she, why ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah-" Ai'er's mother thumped the bed frantically, screaming hysterically, "I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill She ah ah-"
