Chapter 119: Finding the Clue
(Cat flutter Chinese) That rag is the red armband, and it is also a symbol of their former identity!
The old man's reaction also made me confirm my guess.
"The old people in the village have all been soldiers?" After a moment's hesitation, I asked.
Until now, that title is still taboo among those who have served as soldiers, who were first organized by young students, but later, they are all ruffians and hooligans, who, in the name of socialism, criticize forests and confucius, raid homes, burn, kill and loot, and do almost all kinds of evil, and do things that are even more hateful than those of the Japanese people.
When the old man saw that I saw it, he didn't continue to hide it, and immediately nodded and said, "That's right, after the disbandment, a group of us came here and built four villages according to our respective surnames. β
Hearing the old man say this, I reacted, Zhangjiacun, Wang, Jiangyaojia Village, aren't they the names of those four people?
"Those who worship the red armbands are actually worshipping those four people, right?" I continued.
The old man snorted: "Some people, their brains have been completely washed, and they still worship those four people as gods, but there are also old guys like me who have figured it out, and at the beginning, what we did was simply inferior to beasts." β
When he said this, the old man's eyes were full of remorse.
I didn't sympathize with him, because I knew very well that what they had done was unforgivable, and even if they repented now, it would not be able to undo the sins they had committed.
It's just that I still don't understand, the starving ghosts are obviously the ones who died in the three-year catastrophe before that soldier appeared, but those starving ghosts, why bother these people?
The old man said that this is God's punishment for them, who made them all do so many evils.
I was noncommittal, because I thought of the mysterious master who helped the starving ghost behind the scenes, and he was the key to all this.
"Little Master Tianshi, I advise you to leave our village quickly, you don't have to pity us, everything is what we deserve, and, until now, some old guys are still so bad, they are all old, and they still think about harming young people."
After a pause, the old man said again.
I also know this, there is a lot of news about the old disrespect, the hooligan villain is old, and he is also an old rascal, an old scoundrel, they really deserve to die.
But after all, not everyone is bad, at least the old man in front of me can say this, I believe him, unlike others.
Besides, I don't believe that those starving ghosts were good people when they were alive.
This matter has to be managed.
Subsequently, he said goodbye to the old man and planned to meet the fat monk again.
When he returned to Zhang Laohan's house again, the fat monk had already arrived, and the villagers had already helped put the body in the coffin.
The fat monk sat next to the coffin at this moment, waiting for it to get dark and continue to do things.
I crept up to Ozawa and told him that I had figured out where the rags came from, and by the way, told him my guess.
Ozawa was also a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately set his eyes on the fat monk.
"Tonight, when the fat monk is doing something, let's directly interrupt him to see if he summoned a ghost or if he was the two ghosts who harmed people last night, if it can be determined, it means that the fat monk must have something to do with this matter." Immediately after, Ozawa whispered to me.
I nodded, I thought so too, but, what if the fat monk was the mysterious master? It seems that we are no match for him.
Xiao Ze said, don't care about that for now, let's talk about it after the matter is confirmed, and then find a way to deal with him when the time comes, besides, Ji Wuyi will follow us at this time, if you really want to do it, the fat monk is not necessarily Ji Wuyi's opponent.
My eyes lit up, and I almost forgot that Ji Wuyi was following us this time.
In this way, we did not go to the fat monk all day, and when it was dark, the fat monk really began to chant the spirit mantra again.
I said hello to the village chief in advance and asked the villagers not to watch today, so there are only three of us and the fat monk here.
When the fat monk finished reciting the conjuring spell, two ghosts slowly appeared.
My eyes widened, and I took a closer look, and sure enough, these two ghosts were not Zhang Laohan and his son at all, but the two evil ghosts who killed them!
Seeing that the fat monk was about to continue reciting the mantra, Ozawa and I immediately appeared, interrupted the fat monk, and shouted, "Wait! β
The fat monk was stunned, and after opening his eyes and seeing the three of us: "What's the matter with the donor?" Why are you interrupting me from the undead? β
I said lightly: "Don't pretend, I already know that you are not the undead, but those two starving ghosts who are harmful!" β
The fat monk said unhurriedly: "Oh? So, the donor already knows? β
I nodded, "Yes, why are you helping those starving ghosts?" β
The fat monk said lightly: "Since the donor already knows, it should be clear who those starving ghosts were before they died. β
I shook my head: "How do I know who they were?" β
The fat monk sighed and said: "They are all poor people, although they died of natural disasters on the surface, the truth is indeed that they died of **." β
I heard the meaning of the fat monk's words: "So, do you think that the hungry ghosts are all good people?" β
The fat monk nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for **, how could they starve to death." β
I shook my head and disagreed, I have studied that period of history, although tens of millions of people died in the three years of natural disasters, there are also ** reasons, but the truth is that not all people who starve to death are poor people.
At that time, even if there were no natural disasters, there were seven or eight million people dying of natural causes every year, and in three years, nearly 20 million people died of natural causes alone.
Of course, there were many people who died of starvation, almost 10 million or 20 million.
However, I have asked many old people, and they all said that although the three years were bitter and they ate everything, there were very few people who starved to death, and as long as they found a way, they could always survive.
I wondered how so many people could starve to death.
Hearing me say this, the fat monk frowned, and said angrily: "Donor, you are so naΓ―ve, throughout the ages, natural disasters are not only only in those three years, there have been natural disasters before, but only that time, the most people died, and there were starvation everywhere, that was **, it was not a natural disaster at all!" β
I was speechless, because what the fat monk said was the truth, there were famines in ancient times, but it was the first time that so many people died.
After thinking about it, I said again: "Even if it's **, it has nothing to do with the people in these four villages, although they have all been soldiers with red armbands, but it is also after the natural disaster." β
The fat monk said: "The donor thinks that I helped those starving ghosts because they were the soldiers?" β
"Huh." The fat monk smiled lightly, then shook his head and said, "What the donor said is good, but you don't know the truth at all." β
I was stunned, the truth?
The fat monk didn't explain to me, but turned around and summoned two ghosts to him and said, "You show your true body, let the donor see what you looked like when you died." β
As soon as the words fell, the two ghosts nodded slightly, and then I saw that the two hungry ghosts had changed.
One of the ghosts was a man, and he suddenly became a half-skeleton covered in blood, with no flesh on his limbs and chest, and only the head was still intact.
The other ghost, although she also looks half-skeleton, I can tell that she was supposed to be a pregnant woman when she was alive, but her belly has been cut open, and there is only a skeleton-like baby in it.
The appearance of the two of them is very miserable, and at first glance, they have suffered unimaginable torture in their lives.
"Tell the donor how you all died." The fat monk said again.
The male ghost spoke slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I was eaten alive and died. β
The pregnant woman ghost also spoke: "My child and I were also eaten by people, and my poor child has not yet been born......
Speaking of which, the pregnant woman ghost can't go on anymore.
Hearing what they said, I was shocked, "Who did it!" β
The fat monk said: "You should know that there is a debtor who is wronged, and the evil ghosts will only seek revenge on their enemies!" β
I'm stunned, Zhang Laohan? Cat flutter Chinese
