After all the black eels left Zhou Wei's abdomen, the four teenagers on the shore gradually regained their senses, and they panicked and pulled the surrounding corpses floating on the surface of the water to the shore.

"Now, what now?"

"Quick...... Go back to the village and call someone! ”

"No, you can't! The dog is dead, and we can't get out of it! ”

"And what do you want?"

"Calm down, everyone, there is no one else here except us anyway. And he is the only one in the dog's house, and his father has not come home yet. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Sink him to the bottom!"

The four teenagers gathered around Zhou Wei's corpse to discuss, because they were afraid, so the evil door in their hearts was opened, and everyone unanimously decided - sink the corpse!

Only Guojun hugged his legs, curled up on the ground, trembling all over, and did not say a word.

The four teenagers brought rocks, put them into the fishing net with Zhou Wei's body, and then pushed them into the water.

The four of them stood on the shore, watching indifferently as their companion's corpse slowly sank into the turquoise water.

Perhaps at this moment in their hearts, Zhou Wei in the fishing net has long ceased to be a friend and partner, but just an endless trouble.

A tall and strong teenager forcibly arrested the frightened Guojun, and the five teenagers got together and swore that no matter what happened in the future, no one would be allowed to leak today's affairs.

Then they left the riverbank.

The figures of the five teenagers vanished, and the sky suddenly darkened, turning from day to night.

Ning Xue looked at the corpses of the four teenagers on the ground and said, "Is it over?" ”

Wang Yu nodded.

Director Wei sighed and said, "I didn't expect Zhou Wei's body to be sunk by the four of them. ”

The township chief was extremely disappointed and said: "These children are so stupid! How could they do such a thing? ”

Wang Yu can understand their approach, after all, people are also animals, and the most basic instinct of animals is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Of course, understanding does not mean recognition, let alone support.

Ning Xue looked at the reflection of her group on the river, and said suspiciously: "Wang Yu, what did you say Zhou Wei saw underwater, why was he scared like that?" ”

"I'm afraid it has something to do with those weird eels."

Wang Yu turned his head to the village chief and asked, "I just heard you say that those fish are called water ghost fish?" ”

"Yes." The township chief swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied nervously: "When I was a child, I once heard my grandfather talk about it, saying that there was a famine in the past, everyone was hungry and had nothing to eat, at that time my grandfather was still a child, and his memory of the famine years at that time was particularly profound. ”

Director Wei was a little impatient and reprimanded: "What does this have to do with the water ghost fish?" How did you go further and further to your grandfather's famine? ”

Wang Yu said: "Don't interrupt, let him continue." ”

Ning Xue also reassured the township chief: "Don't worry, you just speak slowly, just make it clear." ”

The township chief began to continue: "Then one day, our village really ate meat, and every family got a few catties of meat. According to my grandfather, he was about to die of malnutrition at that time, but thanks to this stew, he was pulled back from the ghost gate in time. ”

Director Wei said with a look of disbelief: "Where can I get meat in the famine years, and every family gets two catties, how can there be such a good thing, I'm afraid that your grandfather lived a fake famine era?" ”

The township chief followed his words and said: "That's right, at that time, my grandfather was also curious about where this meat came from, but the adults in the family were silent and vague, and they didn't want to say it. Five days later, the village divided the meat again, this time it was one or two catties per family. On the day of the meat distribution, the adults in the village locked the children in their homes and forbade them to go out. But my grandfather was so curious that he climbed to the top of the building, and through the attic window, he found that the meat had been pushed by the neighbors in a small cart. ”

Director Wei shook his head and said: "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, in the famine years, the people in your own village were hungry, and finally a little meaty, how can there be any reason to take it to other villagers." ”

He found that Ning Xue's eyes were glaring at him, and he suddenly became excited, and quickly turned his head and patted the township chief's shoulder and said with a smile: "You go on, I promise not to intervene this time." ”

"Since then, every five days, the village has been able to eat meat, sometimes brought in by neighboring villages, and sometimes sent by the village to pull meat from neighboring villages," the township chief said. Gradually, however, my grandfather discovered that the day after each meat distribution, there would be one less woman in the village, sometimes there would be fewer big sisters who were not married, and sometimes there would be fewer big aunts...... And since then, no one in the village has spoken of them again, as if they never existed. ”

Ning Xue suddenly felt a strong discomfort in her tail: "Could it be that those meats are actually ......?"

The township chief nodded: "Actually, it's human flesh." In ancient times, there was an idiom called Yizi and eating. And my grandfather used to be a famine when he was a child, and he used the village as a unit to exchange villagers for food. Every time on the night before the change of food, the parents of each family will gather together to draw lots, and whoever wins the lottery will have to give a 'human food', and the families who have been drawn will not participate in the subsequent lottery until each family has taken a turn, and then start drawing again. My family was fortunate that the first round of the lottery was still drawn, and our village was forced to suspend this kind of food exchange activity. ”

Wang Yu sighed helplessly, many times in order to be able to live, there is no lower limit at all, morality or something, that is only after filling the stomach without worrying about food and clothing, human beings begin to consider high-level spiritual needs.

Ning Xue reacted very strongly, she said angrily: "Why is it that every time we push out, it is our women? ”

The three men present looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

After all, from ancient times to the present, even in modern society, women are still generally regarded as vassals of men, and many times in them, the attributes of objects are even greater than their attributes as a person.

This is the sorrow of our contemporary society that prides itself on being civilized.

It's not Wang Yu, they can say it clearly in just a few words.

So this kind of thing, naturally, it is the best way to keep your mouth shut and not speak.

After Ning Xue's anger calmed down a little, Wang Yu opened his mouth to change the topic and said, "Township Chief, you have said so much, but you still haven't made it clear how this water ghost fish came about. ”

"Right now...... That's it right away. ”

The township chief glanced at Ning Xue in a panic, wiped a few drops of cold sweat from his forehead, and then continued: "Later, there was a girl in the village who refused to obey death, she was unwilling to be a 'human food', and she was unwilling to be killed and dismembered and sent to a neighboring village as food. So she desperately escaped from the village, and was chased all the way to the river by the people in the village, and there was no way to escape. She would rather commit suicide by jumping into the river than be used. ”

Ning Xue said: "Even if that girl dies, the people in the village will definitely not let her body go?" ”

The township chief nodded and said, "What the eldest lady said is right. When the villagers came to the river, they saw the girl's body floating on the water, so a few men went into the water to pull it up, and some villagers on the shore were laughing, saying that it would be easier to save trouble. At that time, my grandfather quietly followed the adults to the river, and he hid in the grass and witnessed the horrific scene. ”

Wang Yu immediately asked, "What did your grandfather see?" ”

The township chief said with a frightened face: "My grandfather saw a few men who were just about to swim to the girl's side, and the girl's corpse suddenly turned into hundreds of black eels, and these eels dragged several men into the water in a blink of an eye, and soon the surface of the water was dyed blood red. The villagers who later jumped into the water to save people also died in the belly of the fish. The villagers who were watching on the shore were so frightened that they fled in panic. It was because of this accident that since then, our Baisha Township has suspended the food exchange activities, and everyone has lived a hungry life again, but fortunately, the famine did not last long, and it has passed. ”
