Chapter 111 Women

After greeting each other for a while, the village chief led the people away. At this time, Jiang Cheng suddenly said: "Village Chief!"

When the village chief and his party turned around, Jiang Cheng pointed at the dark night and asked, "Are you going back at night?"

"We" the village chief looked embarrassed for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by a wry smile, "Thank you for your concern, little brother, we won't go back tonight."

"Then come in and live together," Jiang Cheng said very naturally. "You can also tell us what happened in the village in the evening."

As soon as they heard what happened in the village, the expressions of the young men next to the village chief changed. Finally, the village chief answered, "Thank you, little brother. We won't disturb you. You guys have a good rest. I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning."

After saying these words, the village chief and his party left. Looking at the way they hurried, it seemed as if something terrible was chasing them.

After watching the village chief and others disappear into the night, everyone turned around and prepared to go back to the hotel to rest. Suddenly, they realized that the owner of the hotel was standing at the door, staring at them without saying a word.

It wasn't until they got closer that they were surprised to realize that the shop owner had been staring in the direction where the village chief and others were leaving, with an indescribable weirdness in his eyes.

Disgust, and unconcealed fear.

"Brother Liu," Zhou Rong naturally saw something strange about the store owner. He obviously knew the village chief and others, and had a very bad impression of the latter, otherwise he wouldn't be refused entry.

Reminiscent of the woman I met in the afternoon and the words of the old man passing the cigarette, it seems that people from Xiaoshijian Village are very unpopular in Anping Town.

It was not a specific person who was targeted, but the entire Xiaoshijian Village.

What happened in this village?

The shop owner woke up from a dream after being called by Zhou Rong. He shuddered subconsciously. All this was secretly watched by several people.

"Brother Liu," Zhou Rong had a very good attitude and acted very approachable. He also glanced in the direction the store owner was looking and pretended to be curious, "What are you looking at?"

The shop owner's throat rolled, he pursed his lips first, and then said quickly in a deep voice: "You guys come in first, and we'll talk later."

After the last person walked into the hotel, the owner immediately closed the door. Then he paused, as if he was worried, and found a long wooden stick to hold the door from the inside.

After doing all this, the store owner's nervous expression relaxed slightly. He carefully lay down at the crack of the door and looked outside. After a while, he retracted his neck.

"How come you, a group of outsiders, have anything to do with them?" The shop owner, who had just come back to his senses, looked at a few people and said in a not very polite tone.

"We came back to visit relatives." Jiang Zhongyi was closest to the store owner, so he simply thought of an excuse and prepared to prevaricate. He continued: "We have been living abroad for many years, and this time we plan to return to our hometown to live."

I didn’t expect——

"you are lying!"

The shop owner's face suddenly darkened, as if he wanted to swallow Jiang Zhongyi in one gulp, and his next words shocked everyone instantly.

"It's impossible that anyone is willing to return to that village," the store owner looked nervously, glaring at Jiang Zhongyi, almost speaking out word by word: "Everyone who is willing to return to that place is dead!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhongyi's expression froze instantly.

In the end, Pei Qian spoke slowly and helped Jiang Zhongyi, "Store," Pei Qian spoke slowly but with great momentum. He looked into the shop owner's eyes and said sincerely, "To be honest, we are here by invitation." To solve a problem for Xiaoshijian Village.

The shop owner didn't ask the whole story, as if he had determined that the incident mentioned by the visitor was the incident in his mind, and said with an anxious expression: "Old man, you are confused!"

"Then what happened in Xiaoshijian Village is something you can get involved in?"

"That's a curse!" The shop owner suddenly became excited, clenching his hands into fists, and veins appeared on his neck, "It's those people who died in vain who came to their Xiaoshijian Village to collect debts!"

Zhou Rong looked at the shop owner. The excitement he showed was not only due to fear, but also a part of anger. It seemed that something must have happened in Xiaoshijian Village before that made people and gods angry.

This not only led to the so-called curse of the dead, but also made people nearby to be hostile to people from Xiaoshijian Village, even a lonely woman who lost her husband.

Thinking of this, Zhou Rong asked in a low voice: "What happened in this little Shijian Village?"

With a sigh, the shop owner pulled out a bench and sat down slowly. There was an oil lamp burning on the table. Occasionally, the wind blew by, and the flames flickered in and out of his face.

"This matter started 20 years ago," his voice became different from before, as if he was caught in a long memory.

"Xiaoshijian Village is located in the mountains. It is remote and has developed very slowly. The villagers have relied on fishing and hunting for their livelihood for generations."

"But many years ago, the Jialan River downstream was dammed and a reservoir was built. The fishery was also greatly affected. It was already a remote place, and now it is even worse." He sighed and shook his head slowly. "Where can any woman be willing to marry?" to here."

"But it's impossible not to have a woman. There are three unfilial piety factors, but not having an offspring is the worst. Every household cannot cut off its incense, so someone suggested finding a woman from outside." The shop owner sneered and suddenly explained: "They say they are looking for them, but they are actually lying. It’s a crutch.”

"But the women are not stupid. After being deceived and abducted here, they found that the situation was completely different from what they had promised or imagined before, so they all wanted to go home. If they were not allowed to go home, they would make a scene or even run away secretly."

"But how could they escape? There are bachelors in every family there, and they all need women."

"No matter where they escape to, hell is waiting for them."

Chen Xiaomeng stood beside him and keenly observed that when the shop owner said this, his eyes suddenly exploded with a sharpness. His two arms hung at his sides, and purple blood vessels floated on his clenched fists.

He sympathized with those women and their miserable situation.

"What happened next?" Yu Man asked softly.

At this moment, she also restrained her previous indifferent attitude, which was regarded as the last respect for those suffering women back then.

"There is no impenetrable wall," the shop owner put his hands on the table, his expression slightly relieved, "Finally, the police found this village hidden in the mountains based on clues. Many people came that day, not only the police, but also many anxious parents who heard the news and rushed to see their abducted daughters."

"The girls' parents were heartbroken when they saw the tragic condition of their children. They broke through the blockade set up by the police in anger, snatched the main culprit of the abduction from the hands of a group of policemen, and then beat them to death."

"It is said that the scene was very bloody at the time, with flesh and mud mixed together, and not even a complete body was left."
