Chapter 122: The human heart is not ancient

Some people did not believe in evil and paid high prices to hire murderers, and it was true that human life at that time was as cheap as grass, but later, it is said that these people all bled to death.

The villagers of Feng Village did not dare to try again, and could not find the corpses, so they were forced to transform, some opened wine shops, and some opened casinos.

The sage has given him a lot of help in his life, but unfortunately only one person has been passed on to his true skills, he is Cage Devons, who was mellow and kind at the beginning, and was favored by the sage and handed over to him what he had learned all his life, but it is a pity that time has left him traces of time.

Now he is sixty-five, seeing that he is about to die, the life span in ancient times was very short, sixty-five is not a low age, his wife died a few years ago, but it is a pity that he still can't let go of his old age to get a child, Bowen Devonsi, is already thirty-two, but nothing has been achieved, and his most exquisite human skin doll skills have only learned a little fur.

Cage may have sensed that the end was near, and that night, he called Bowen, Bowen's wife and daughter to his bedside, taught him the making of human skin dolls in detail for the last time, and gave him a notebook written by his life's experience, and asked Bowen to dry his skin and make it into a human skin doll after his death, and he would continue to bless the family.

Bowen agreed to his request, and after Cage just died, he picked up an axe and cut off his head, but he couldn't do anything about the most basic peeling, Bowen's wife is very beautiful, one of the best in the village, but for human skin dolls, she also did not learn under the intervention of her husband, in Bowen's words, beautiful girls should not stick dirty things.

When he was helpless, Bowen rolled his eyes, and suddenly saw that Cage's eyes were still open when he fell to the ground, as if he was unwilling to fate or disappointed in him.

Seeing his father's dead eyes, Bowen felt guilty, the hand holding the note in his hand trembled slightly, and finally gritted his teeth, rushed to the room with the note and locked himself up, one pass was a day and a night.

His wife thought that Bowen had an understanding, but she didn't expect Bowen to burn his father's notes under an oil lamp in front of his wife after he came out, and told her that Hugh would mention the matter of human skin dolls in the future, and the large amount of property left by his father would be enough for the family to live happily.

His wife knew that he had chosen to escape, but as long as the family could live in peace, it would be better than anything.

That morning, when the sky was clear, Bowen and his eight-year-old daughter Martha buried Cage together, but the eyes on Cage's head could not be closed, and Bowen was afraid, but he still lowered his head and body to the ground.

At this moment, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and the sky was originally clear, but suddenly the clouds were thick, and the black and oppressive clouds fell very low.

Bowen knelt on his knees and begged his father for forgiveness, telling him that although he could not inherit his mantle, he would take his wife and children to live a good life in the future, and pay tribute to him every year during the New Year's Festival.

After he finished speaking, the clouds really receded and returned to their clarity.

In the months since, they have lived in peace, and the story should have come to an end now, but the real story has just begun.

Bowen is good at making friends, and once brought a few friends home and asked his glamorous wife to prepare snacks for them, and his wife agreed, so he went to the kitchen to prepare.

It's just that her charming appearance has aroused the covetousness of others, at that time, women rarely go out, and even when they go out, they will wear a veil, although it has long been rumored in the village that Bowen's wife is beautiful, and there are not many people who can see it.

At that time, when Cage was still there, his prestige was extremely high, and no one dared to cross this gap, but now it is different from the past, and people with a heart naturally have a small calculation.

After a few months, Bowen became obsessed with drinking, and it didn't take long for him to learn to gamble again.

At that time, the status of women was very different from that of men, and it was impossible to say that there would be a divorce, unless a man wrote a letter of resignation, he could only endure it silently, if he chose to escape, he could only be caught by officers and soldiers, and he could only be immersed in a cage and drowned alive.

Bowen's wife had no idea of running away at the time, after all, she had an eight- or nine-year-old child.

A year later, Bowen, who originally had a lot of property, was desperate, struggling, and had no alcohol to drink, so he began to learn to beat people, at first he only beat his wife, and later learned to beat his children.

And a casino owner who once framed Bowen also stood up at the right time, as long as he was willing to hand over his wife, the boss could give him a large sum of money.

Bowen struggled for seven days, but he was no longer the same Bowen, and he didn't want to spend a day without money.

That night, he had a showdown with his wife. The wife was silent for a long time, and took out an iron box from a box, which was full of silver taels with white flowers, and there were many of them.

This is what she has earned this year, and due to the change of blog posts, she has to make preparations and find several uncles that Cage used to help and learn how to make human skin dolls with them.

There will always be a day when the favor will be repaid, and it will be impossible for those uncles to continue to provide her with corpses, and there are only two ways in front of them, first, use the money to do some small business. Second, continue to search for new sources of corpses and make human skin dolls.

The premise is that the blog post is washed and isolated.

Bowen nodded in agreement, saying that he was going out to look for the body with the money, although his wife was skeptical, but he believed that he should learn to change after a hundred days of husband and wife.

Three days later, Bowen came back with bloodshot eyes, and his wife asked him if he had found the body?

Bowen backhanded his wife in the face and ordered her to go to the casino as soon as possible to pay off the gambling debt.

When his wife heard this, she was more sad than dead, and she suddenly understood that Bowen didn't look for the body with the money at all, but used it to fight against fate.

Looking at a small head peeking out not far away, his wife was in pain.

However, it was difficult for her to accept that she should entrust others.

The night was spent in a quarrel.

The next day, there was a major event in the village, according to rumors, the king wanted to choose the most exquisite human skin doll in the village to control the fortune of the country.

If you can win the favor of the king, be crowned with knighthood, and a large number of gold and silver treasures, it is by no means a dream to be clothed in brocade and jade.

Bowen learned that his wife's human skin doll manufacturing has good skills, which is convenient for his wife to discuss winning the top spot in one fell swoop and living a good life in the future.

His wife agreed to him, but the provenance of the corpse was the biggest difficulty, and they were now at the end of their rope, and they used the spare money to buy the corpse.

Bowen relied on Cage's face, and begged the villagers of Feng Village who used to be kind to Cage, but now Bowen is disgusted that anyone will give him this face.

His wife came forward and was also persuaded to come back, after all, a year's giving, the favor has been used up, and there is one less strong competitor, and their grasp is one more point.

Bowen saw that this road was not working, and he brought up the idea of selling his wife to the casino owner, but his wife resolutely refused.

That night, the wind and clouds changed color, thunder and lightning flashed, from the black clouds on the horizon, almost a moment earlier, a huge lightning bolt streaked across the sky, split the starry sky in half, flashed, and then subsided, accompanied by this lightning thunder, and a moment later, the raindrops the size of beans fell like pebbles, hitting the ground, crackling. Later, it poured down.

In the blink of an eye, there was a blur.

The Bowen family lived in their ancestral home left behind by Cage, and the storm raged like a whip against the dilapidated doors and windows that had fallen into disrepair.

The sound of rain outside the window resembles the desperate roaring beast of the ancient Roman gladiatorial arena.

In this July, known as the Ghost Moon, everything presents an almost eerie scene, which makes the three members of the family feel a cold breath, I don't know if it is brought by this rainy night, or the "squeak" sound brought by this Ghost Moon is particularly terrifying.

Bowen's mind kept coming back to the tragic image of Cage's death, and the head he had cut off himself, the eyes that could never be seen, as if vividly, he thought of the oath he had made, but now he looked at each other.

Finally, the old doors and windows that had survived a hundred years of wind and rain still did not escape this catastrophe, and died in this huge storm, Bowen seemed to be crazy, picking up the big axe that cut off Cage's head in the living room and wielding it continuously.
