Chapter 40: Cannibals
As soon as he walked out of the cave, Tuso gasped and ran in, "I just said there was a problem, the people in the village ......"
After speaking, he saw me holding Yu Nian in his arms, so he asked, "What's going on?" ”
"You said yours, what's wrong with the people in the village?"
"Dead, no ...... alive"
I held Yu Nian's hand softly, and I thought that Yu Nian might not let these people go easily, but I never expected her to be so ruthless.
But now I believe that Yu Nian has her own reasons for doing things, and maybe the truth is not as simple as I seem.
I paused and said, "It's a long story, I'll explain it to you later." ”
When he returned to the house, Teng Chongchong was leaning against the wall to drink water, and Liao Kao was taking care of him on the side.
Seeing Yu Nian fainting, everyone's expressions were slightly surprised.
"What's going on?"
I told me about the girl asking me to go to the cave, and the whole village was selling organs and eating human skin.
Teng Chongchong threw away the quilt on his body in fear, his expression was disgusted, and he asked me in fear, "Then what should we do now?" ”
"Wait a little longer, I still have something to ask the mother and daughter, and we'll make plans when Yu Nian wakes up."
I put the rest of my thoughts in the room, then turned around and went back to the cave downstairs.
Lao Meng tied the two girls together, stood in place at a loss, and called me for help after seeing me go down, "What's the matter, these two women keep scolding me." ”
"It's over, aren't you usually good at scolding?"
As I spoke, I grabbed a chair from the ground, sat down in front of the two of them, and asked, "From now on, I will ask you to answer, if there is half a lie, I will kill you immediately." ”
The eldest sister, who was still kind-eyed, spat at me: "I answered the question, can you let me go?" Are we really critics? ”
These two men are clearly not afraid of death, so it seems difficult to extract any useful answers from their mouths at this time.
But as Yu Nian said, if this cave village has been feeding on lost tourists, it is very likely that he has seen my dad before.
I pinched the woman's chin, found a picture of my dad on my phone, and sent it to the woman, "Have you seen this person?" ”
Her expression changed visibly, and she asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”
I immediately realized that she might have actually seen my dad, so I quickly got up from my chair, "Have you seen him?" When have you met him? Where is he now? ”
But she deliberately teased me, don't look over it and stop talking.
I suddenly remembered the ledger that Yu Nian had thrown on the ground before, and if I wanted to extract any useful information from this woman's mouth, I had to find something that could threaten her.
I picked up the ledger from the ground, and the instantaneous change in the expression on the woman's face told me that this thing must be very important.
I flipped through it and found that the first half of the book was all about the price of each organ and the time of slaughter of each corpse.
It was densely written, about dozens of pages, and the number of victims on it was roughly estimated to be in the hundreds over the years.
It seems that Yu Nian is merciful in strangling the people in this village to death, and this kind of crime requires a thousand knives to relieve the hatred.
Who once lay on this bed was the son of whose family, whose husband, and whose relatives.
These bloodthirsty demons are really in vain.
I casually turned the page and found that the things recorded in the back were completely different from the previous ones.
I quickly flipped through two pages, my hands trembling with anger, and finally I slowly raised my head from the ledger, gritted my teeth and asked, "Who the fuck are you?" ”
Lao Meng was surprised by my reaction, and hurriedly took the account book in my hand and looked through it.
The second half of the text records when the gang moved to the village and how they killed everyone in the village overnight.
There are 36 households and 127 people.
They tortured and killed the children and the elderly in the village, and dissected the young and middle-aged.
I finally realized that things were not simple, such a group of people came to this village for some reason, and the doves occupied the magpie's nest and squatted here. It must not be just for the simple reason of killing people and dissecting corpses, selling organs, and cannibalism.
But before I could ask any more questions, the two women winked at each other, then pressed their jaws, and their heads tilted and fell to the ground.
I rushed over and broke the woman's mouth, only to find that they had killed themselves by biting off their tongues.
I angrily kicked down the chair behind me, and the clue I had just gotten was suddenly broken again.
I thought about it for a while, and grabbed the ledger on the ground, "Old Meng, go out with me for a walk." ”
The two men couldn't pry any answers out of their mouths, and they might have found them elsewhere.
There were not many residents in the cave, so we decided to look for them one by one.
I've been moving from the north before, but I've never been here from the south of the stream.
We walked into the cave opposite, and there was no sound in it, and the livestock fell to the ground. Lao Meng kicked it open and said, "It was starvation, not poisoning." ”
Saying that, Lao Meng pushed open the door, and after a creak, there was a sudden unpleasant smell of rot inside.
I didn't have to look at it to guess what was going on inside, but I had to go in to find some clues.
According to the contents of the ledger, there were probably only twenty or thirty cannibals in the future, and there were originally several hundred in the village.
That inevitably means that most of the rooms in the cave village are now empty, and it is even possible that they remain the same as they were when they were first victimized.
When I opened the door, I found that the house was in a mess, and a woman was lying on the threshold of the back room, which had been dried into a dry corpse. A lot of blood flowed from the place below the neck, and the blood stains spread on the ground and turned black, and the blood stains around him were splashed a lot.
The woman's hair was disheveled, and judging from the marks left on the ground, she should have been dragged off the bed.
Judging by the color of the blood, the woman had been dead for more than a year.
For a year, these cannibals have been in the same room with these tragically dead corpses, and they feel terrible to think about.
I looked over to the bed, and there seemed to be a pile of things on the bed, and I gently pinched a corner to pinch the clothes on it, and I saw a shriveled baby under the pile of clothes.
The baby's face was blue and the skin was covered with bleeding spots, and I had the courage to open the baby's eyes, and I saw that there were traces of bleeding on the eyelids, and he had suffocated to death.
The clothes piled up on it should be the tools used by the murderer to stop the baby, and the woman on the ground should be the mother of the child. Judging from the tragic situation at the scene, it was the mother who desperately tried to stop these crazy murderers, but she was dragged by her hair to the door and her throat was cut.
I thought about the terrible situation in the room at that time, clenched my fists tightly, and trembled with anger.
Obviously, the perpetrator didn't care whether he would be found at all, and he didn't even bother to clean up the scene. If there were more tech-enabled tools now, a room full of fingerprints would be collected. Why are these people so rampant? What is the reason for their mass killing?
We didn't find any valuable clues in the first room, so we moved on to the next one as soon as possible.
When I opened the door, I found a person sitting on the wooden bed in the corner, with a quilt on his feet, and his head drooping. There was a long bloody streak on the neck, almost severing the neck.
Blood flowed down the bed from the wound, and black clumps of blood stuck to the quilt. The air was filled with a fishy smell that was disgusting.
I looked at the person sitting on the bed and cautiously walked over. The closer I got to the fishy smell, I endured my nausea and lifted the covers.
The man seemed to have been dead for a while, and the bedding was already densely crawling with all kinds of insects. Something suddenly sprang out of it and scared me to let go. I looked over vigilantly and saw that it was a mouse. I quickly closed the quilt and didn't want to look at it any more.
The man's hair was half white, and he didn't look like a young man, but I took a look at it, and the wound on his neck was six centimeters long, and the surrounding walls, on the futon, and the ground were sprayed with blood, which seemed to be caused by someone cutting the artery with a knife, and the blood spurted out.
In this way, the wound on the neck should be a fatal wound.
After walking through a few houses, I found that almost every house here was in a similar situation, except for the bloody and miserable. It was a horrific massacre, and it was unjustified.
Later, we found a pattern, the cannibals cleared all the caves in the south and lived in them, and the caves in the north were thrown in place, leaving the corpses to rot and stink.
And Yu Nian seems to have discovered this law one step ahead of us, and in a very short period of time, the cannibals in the southern cave were killed.
Lao Meng was a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you say this?" Why did these people go to such great lengths to kill everyone and then take over the place? Just because it's secluded enough to catch some lost tourists from time to time? ”
"It's definitely not that simple, this Pinnacle Ridge itself is inaccessible, and this place is so secretive. If they really want to sell organs for profit, they can find a place where there are more people. Even if you are afraid of being discovered, it is more secluded and safe than here, and there are more tourists here. ”
Lao Meng scratched his ears and cheeks, "That could be the lost tourists in this forest, the smell is more fragrant?" After he finished speaking, he gave himself a cold war, "It's really perverted." ”
I was suddenly woken up by a certain sentence in Lao Meng's words, and hurriedly asked, "What you just said, say it again." ”
"A place that is more secluded and safe than here, and there are many tourists......"
"No, not this one, the next one."
"Lost tourists here are more fragrant?"
That's it, those who are lost in this wood, are more valuable to them.
So who would come here, and who would just come out of that cave and find this cave village at a glance?
It dawned on me that I had been targeted by these people from the moment I walked out of the cave.
