Chapter 42: Heart-Eater

Cao Xiaoyang said unceremoniously: "I have already asked you about the things that should be asked, and now I will say it again, I hope you can really tell the truth, if you hide it at all, it will only be your son who will suffer in the end." Do you have a daughter named Zhang Yulan?"

Asked by Cao Xiaoyang, the couple was still a little hesitant, but because they were really worried about their son's safety, they finally nodded reluctantly.

Cao Xiaoyang saw that there was finally a play, smiled slightly, and then asked: "Then do you know where she is now, and what she has experienced in recent years?"

Zhang Yulan's mother shook her head and said, "We haven't seen that child for more than 20 years, and we don't know where she is now, whether she is alive or dead." ”

When Cao Xiaoyang heard this, he immediately frowned, thinking that Zhang Yulan was already in her twenties when she married Zhuzi, but her mother said that she hadn't seen her for more than 20 years, which was obviously lying.

So Cao Xiaoyang suddenly lowered his face and made a gesture to leave.

"At this time, you still don't want to tell the truth, there's no way, I can't help your son's affairs. ”

At this time, Zhang Yulan's mother hurriedly grabbed Cao Xiaoyang, and then made a gesture to kneel, and said with a crying voice: "Master, I really didn't lie to you, what I said was the truth."

That year, the two of us fled from the north and came here, and we were so poor that we couldn't even eat, but I had a big belly at that time.

At that time, we begged for food everywhere, slept in the grain and straw piles of other people's rice fields at night, endured freezing and starving every day, I thought that the child would not be saved, but I did not expect her to have a big life, and finally I gave birth to her.

After giving birth, I was skinny and skinny, and there was no milk to feed her, so we had to go to someone's house to ask for some rice paste to feed her, at that time we begged for food and passed through a place called Guli Village, and met a kind person, she said that she had no children at home, and was willing to adopt my daughter.

At that time, the two of us thought that if our daughter followed us for food again, we might not live for a few days, but if we gave her to this family, at least our life would be saved, so we agreed to her.

The woman said that she was a widow and that there was no man in the family, so we should name the child, and the father of the baby saw that a magnolia tree had grown in front of the widow's door, so he named the child Zhang Yulan.

That was more than twenty years ago, and if Magnolia was still alive now, it would have been twenty-five by now. ”

After hearing this, Cao Xiaoyang carefully examined the couple and felt that they still seemed to be hiding something, so he continued to ask: "You said that the kind person who took in your child is a widow, so do you know her name and what does she do for a living on weekdays?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yulan's parents' faces showed embarrassment again, seeing Cao Xiaoyang frowning, Zhang Yulan's father sighed and said: "That's the case, after we made money in the town, we went back to Guli Village to find our family Yulan, but at that time, the widow no longer lived in the original place.

And we also heard from the local Miao people that the widow was actually ...... It's a Gu woman.,Usually like to put Gu harm everywhere.,Some Miao doctors in the village drove her out of the village together.,Later, she seemed to live in a cave outside the village.。

Because the people in the village said that the Gu woman was too dangerous, the two of us were scared, so we didn't dare to look for her again. I estimate that since Yulan has fallen into the hands of Gu Po, I am afraid that it is already more than auspicious. ”

At this time, Cao Xiaoyang nodded thoughtfully and turned around to leave.

"Master, what I said is all true, you must save my son. ”

"Don't worry, your son will be fine. ”

Cao Xiaoyang saw that the couple regarded their son as more important than their own lives, but for Zhang Yulan, they no longer went to her when they encountered a little difficulty.

After that, Cao Xiaoyang asked them about the specific location of Naguli Village, and then left, at this time Bai Xiaoyan was waiting for him outside the door.

"Did you hear what they said?"

"I hear you. ”

"And what are you going to do next?"

"Naturally, I went to Guli Village to find that Gu Po. ”

So they returned to Sanhe Village, intending to call Tang Wenwen and leave with their luggage, but as soon as they entered the village, they found that the village was in chaos, as if they had just fought a war.

Just when they were puzzled, they suddenly heard Granny Li's voice, she seemed to be calling for help, Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan hurriedly looked for the sound and found that Granny Zhang was being choked by his stupid grandson.

The dog had also become a faceless man because of the black whirlwind he had been attacked before, and then he saw that his scarred face had a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to bite someone.

Bai Xiaoyan pulled him away and saved Granny Li, but at this time, the dog did not stop, he wanted to attack Bai Xiaoyan like crazy, Bai Xiaoyan made a few moves with him, and found that this guy's strength was surprisingly strong, which was already beyond the limit of ordinary people.

But even so, the dog was not Bai Xiaoyan's opponent at all, and he was subdued after three strokes and five divisions, and then Cao Xiaoyang found a thick rope to tie him up.

Cao Xiaoyang looked at the big mouth on the dog's face, which originally had no facial features, and found that this guy had turned into a bloodthirsty monster, so he picked up a hoe next to him and planned to finish him off.

At this time, Granny Li grabbed him. "No, this is my grandson!"

Cao Xiaoyang was a little helpless for a while, and then he and Bai Xiaoyan found that all the faceless people in the village had turned into dogs, and they were frantically attacking the villagers in the village.

At this time, Tang Wenwen also rushed from the village to meet them, according to her, a large number of villagers in the village have been killed, and those dead villagers soon became the appearance of these monsters, and the original facial features on their faces have all disappeared, except for a bloody mouth that occupies most of their faces.

After that, the three of them worked together to arrest all these faceless monsters and bundle them at the entrance of the village.

At this time, the people in the village were divided into two factions, one of which was that there were relatives in the family who were killed by these monsters and strongly advocated that they should all be burned to death, and the other was the family members of these faceless people represented by Granny Li, who did not support the killing of these monsters.

Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan looked very embarrassed for a while, because they couldn't tell whether these guys were human or not, they didn't want to kill by mistake, but they couldn't let these monsters continue to mess around.

At this moment, the screams of the villagers suddenly came from the entrance of the village.

"There's another one there!"

At this time, I saw a faceless man with a big mouth on the path outside the village staggering towards this side, and several strong young men rushed up with a dick and quickly subdued him.

But he didn't expect this guy to be able to speak, he opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and shouted: "Mr. Cao, I want to find Mr. Cao!"

Cao Xiaoyang felt a little familiar when he heard this voice, and hurriedly walked to his side and asked, "Who are you?"

The guy gasped and said, "Mr. Cao, don't you know me? ”

Cao Xiaoyang noticed the two black holes in this guy's eye socket and was shocked.

"It's you, but how did you end up like this?"

Zhang Blind said: "It's a Gu worm, the Gu worm is going to devour my heart, I can't hold it anymore, Mr. Cao, you must save me!"

"How can I save you?"

"Zhang Yulan, she is the source of Gu worms, as long as she kills the Gu worm mother in her body, the other Gu worms will die. ”

"But where is Zhang Yulan now?"

At this time, Granny Li walked up to Cao Xiaoyang and said, "If I guessed correctly, she should still be in the well now." ”

Suddenly, Cao Xiaoyang seemed to understand something.

At the beginning, Zhang Yulan bewitched Zhuzi to become his wife, and then worked hard for Zhuzi's family after coming to Sanhe Village, and was finally killed by Zhuzi's wife, all of this was not a coincidence, but she had premeditated.

Zhang Yulan's original purpose in coming to Sanhe Village was to create those faceless people, and the facial features of those faceless people disappeared because of the cannibalization of Gu worms, which means that Zhang Yulan had already planted Gu worms into the bodies of those people at that time.

After that, she only needed to let the Gu worms occupy the bodies of those people at the right time, and then those faceless people would become puppets at her mercy.

That is, her goal from the beginning was not the pillar, but all the villagers of Sanhe Village.
