Chapter 11: The "Meat" in the Box
"Whether the village chief's wife is a human or a ghost, in short, all we can do is to prevent it as much as possible. In addition, the reason why the village chief did not tell us the truth at the beginning was that he was afraid that we would suspect that his wife was a ghost and would do something unfavorable to his wife. β
Just when Wang Zi wanted to continue, he saw the village chief push open the door of the house and hurriedly ran over, but he had no choice but to obediently choose to shut up.
"Alright, my wife has started to recover, now let's go."
The village chief raised his hand and pointed to the south of the village, signaling that Xu Laohan's home was in that direction.
The reason why they asked the village chief to find Xu Laohan was mainly because Xu Laohan was also one of the few remaining parties in that incident, and his participation was even higher than that of the village chief.
Because his wife was one of the victims, according to the village chief, Xu Laohan slept next to his wife when she was brutally skinned and killed.
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Laohan not only found that his wife had been killed, but even mistook his wife's human skin for a quilt to cover his body, and did not find out the bad news until he woke up the next day.
His wife was brutally murdered by his side for no apparent reason, and Xu Laohan was naturally extremely sad and angry. So he found the village chief and wanted to find the murderer out of the village.
But after several days of investigation, not only did they not find any trace of the murderer, but many people died in the village.
There are constantly dead people in the village, and the village cadres have never been able to find a way to solve it. This also makes this matter more and more powerful, what a curse, an unjust soul, a heavenly punishment...... And so on, some ghosts and gods are here.
In fact, it's no wonder that the villagers think so, in just a few days, twenty or thirty people died in the village inexplicably, and every villager died without warning, and the death was extremely miserable, which really forced them to associate with ghosts and gods.
This also gave some villagers who were already fed up with poverty and wanted to go outside. So he fled from the wilderness village with his family, young and old. This was a trend at the time.
Nearly two-thirds of the villagers have lost their lives.
As for whether they encountered any accidents on the way. The village chiefs didn't know about it, and in short, they never came back since they left.
Seeing a large number of villagers leaving, the village chief and several village cadres at that time also tried to persuade them to stay. But the effect was minimal. And what makes it even worse for them. There were still dead people in the village. This also made the village chief think about whether to evacuate the village.
Of course, Xu Laohan strongly opposed them admitting defeat and escaping.
But at this juncture, six outsiders came to the village where the mountains wept and the tsunami.
These six people came here out of nowhere. The village chief, including the villagers of Yuanye Village, was very surprised, because Yuanye Village had not seen a single person for several years, and they did not look like the people from the surrounding five villages at all.
The six outsiders approached the village chief and lied to the village chief at first that they were a delegation sent by the city to inspect the village for a few days.
When the village chief heard that these people were sent by the city, he was surprised and delighted, and was shocked that the crisis in the village had not yet been resolved, and if these people were allowed to stay, they might encounter danger. As for the joy, Yuanye Village has finally received the attention of the above, and if these people are entertained well, maybe Yuanye Village can also get rid of the poor township.
It's just that after these people moved in, they didn't stay in the village according to the rules, but looked around for information from the villagers and asked about all kinds of things that had happened in the recent period. Although the village chief and Xu Laohan had already gotten angry with the villagers who stayed behind, there were still some villagers who were not strict in their mouths and poked the matter out.
A few people probably touched the village for two days, and then found the village chief and Xu Laohan, and identified them with them, revealing their identities as curse executors.
He also sternly warned them that the reason why people were being killed in the village one after another was because of a ghost infiltrating the village.
If you don't find a way to get rid of this ghost, then everyone in the village will be killed by it, and absolutely no one will be able to escape.
The village chief didn't believe these people at that time, but Xu Laohan agreed to cooperate with them, but the village chief couldn't resist Xu Laohan, so he had to cooperate with suspicion.
The so-called cooperation, to put it bluntly, is to tell those people in detail what they know about the situation here, and take them around the village.
The other day, nothing was found for these people, and people in the village are still dying tragically.
The village chief's nervous Cheng DΓΉ had also reached his limit at that time, and he was already planning to take his wife away. After all, nothing is more important than his own life, and he, the village chief, is not so important.
It's just that it backfired, and before he could discuss the escape with his wife, his wife was in danger.
When he hurried home to hear the news, the house was in shambles, and filled with a foul stench. His wife fell to the side and did not know whether she was alive or dead, and according to his friend Xu Laohan, it was fortunate that they had come one step earlier, otherwise his wife would have been skinned.
It was also this time that he really learned the identities of those people and learned something about the curse from their mouths.
As for why these people were able to rush over as soon as his wife was attacked, it was because one of these people was an exorcist. The exorcist has a string of beads in his hand, and as long as he splits the beads and puts them into the home of the person who thinks he may be attacked, then if there is danger, the person can immediately sense it.
The thing that attacked his wife was a dried corpse.
The corpse was dressed in red, green, and green paper clothing, with a white-smeared mask on its face, and a rusty dagger in its withered hand.
The first time the village chief saw it was at the house of another villager who had been attacked, and he was almost scared to death by the paper man-like corpse.
Fortunately, the exorcist and the other people were very powerful, and they had a lot of items in their hands that could suppress the dried corpse, so they had no choice but to retreat three times and twice.
Because it was too dangerous to follow them, and he was indeed a bit of an obstacle, he didn't need those people to drive him, and the village chief gave himself an eviction order.
The village chief left, but Xu Laohan was eager to avenge his wife, so he still insisted on following those people, and as for what happened later, it was the same as the village chief who told them at the beginning.
After a struggle with the ghost, the men got rid of the ghost at the cost of losing three of them, and handed the box to the village chief before leaving.
And remind the village chief to hide the box and put it away, and not to open it unless it is a last resort.
The village chief took this matter to heart and reminded his wife very strictly, and his wife also said that she would never touch the box. Who would have thought that her wife had not fulfilled her promise, and on the third day after the man had gone, she had secretly dug the box out of the ground and opened it while he was not at home.
When he came back from outside, he found that his wife was much younger. After careful questioning, he found out that his wife had secretly opened the box behind his back.
Although he was very angry, he was also very curious about the contents of the box, because he had asked Xu Laohan what the box was for, and Xu Laohan replied that he didn't know either.
This time his wife opened the box, and he was able to know what was inside.
His wife's answer surprised him to find a piece of meat in the box. Moreover...... His wife ate the meat raw!
As for why his wife became younger, according to his wife's words, it was because she ate the meat in the box. But then his wife said something that made him creepy:
"I don't think I ate the piece of meat, it's ...... That piece of meat ate me! β
Ever since the box was opened by his wife, the village chief has been living in fear. Every day he kept an eye out for changes in his wife, who, in addition to becoming younger and prettier, was the meat in the box and her longing.
And the box is also amazing, every night around ten o'clock punctually opened, and then a piece of meat is revealed from it.
Seeing that his wife had eaten the meat in the box and had grown younger, and that there was nothing wrong with it, he had the courage to taste it, and the result was out of control, for the meat tasted so good!
He just couldn't resist the smell, he was as addicted as his wife. And in the process of eating this meat, he gradually discovered that this meat also has healing effects, which surprised them even more.
