20. Cannibal curse
Zhang Yuchi didn't tell us who the armless old man was, took the captured shotgun and turned around and walked towards the exit of the mine. His brother Zhang Yupeng followed in a few steps, but was stopped by Yuchi turning around and saying, "I can do it myself, you just wait here." ”
"But your ...... hurt"
"Skin trauma, it doesn't matter! This is my job, and I don't need you to mix it up! Zhang Yuchi almost glared at Yupeng and said these words.
At this time, I also noticed that Zhang Yuchi had a cut on the outside of his right leg, and there was blood on his pants, but the blood had already dried up, and it seemed that he had already fought with these madmen in the village for a round before we came over.
Zhang Yupeng didn't say anything more, but I have something to ask Zhang Yuchi! I called out to him, then got up and ran up to him and asked, "What are you going out for?" Kill the whole village? ”
"Are they left to eat people?" Zhang Yuchi did not answer positively, but asked me rhetorically.
"Aren't you shamans? Is there no way to get rid of the spell? Even if you don't have anyone else, will you? Anyway, it's a living village! ”
"Humph!" Zhang Yuchi sneered disdainfully, "Don't fake mercy with me here!" Why didn't I see you pleading with him when I was about to shoot that kid of yours? Now that you're safe, conscience is starting to find out? It's not as simple as you think, let the old man tell you whether this village should be killed or not! ”
Zhang Yuchi shook off this sentence and raised his hand to push him aside, and then walked out of the jade cave.
I knew very well that I didn't have the ability to stop Zhang Yuchi, and I couldn't find any words to refute his words, so I could only go back to the middle of the cave again and throw all my doubts to the armless old man in front of me. And the armless old man told him all he knew.
The old man's surname is Chen, he is sixty-seven this year, he was born in Sanliangzi and grew up in Sanliangzi, the difference is that his ancestors have always been in Sanliangzi Village, to be precise, it should be Donglu Village.
In the past, Donghu Village was indeed a well-known and wealthy village, and the reason why the village was rich was precisely because of the guarding of a jade mine. Later, this jade mine was taken by a group of bandits, and the bandits robbed the mine and occupied the village, and Donglu Village was renamed Sanliangzi Village from then on.
The mine was overrun by bandits, and the life of the villagers was naturally far worse than before, but this was only the beginning of the nightmare.
The bandits of Sanliangzi Village fought with the Japanese devils. Their purpose is not to resist Japan and save the country, but simply to snatch better equipment from the devils. As a result, the repeated ambushes finally provoked the devil, and the little devil began to send troops to fight against the bandits of Sanliangzi.
Bandits are bandits after all, and although there are many more people than devils, there is a huge disparity in combat effectiveness. After several head-to-head confrontations, most of the bandits in Sanliangzi were killed and wounded, and they didn't dare to fight anymore. The bandits didn't dare to show their heads, but the devils didn't give up, maybe the devils regarded this group of bandits as guerrillas, and even began to close the mountains and sweep in order to find the old nest of the Sanliangzi bandits.
However, Sanliangzi Village is in the big mountain pass, and you can't find it if you want to, unless someone leads the way.
The bandits were afraid that someone would go down the mountain and be caught by the devils, so they did not allow the villagers to go out, and also sent people to catch all the people in the surrounding villages who were familiar with the route into the mountain, and then put them in the jade mine like prisoners to prevent people from going out. Later, everything that could be eaten was eaten, and the bandits of Sanliangzi targeted these villagers in the mine.
The bandits said that they were going to fight the devils, and now the devils have nothing to eat, so these people who can't fight have to contribute. So every once in a while, the bandits dragged two people out of the mine, and then Sanliangzi Village could have a few days of meat to eat, and the people locked up in the mine could also get a little soup to drink.
Everyone in the cave knew what the broth was made of, so at first no one wanted to drink it, and even wanted to vomit when they smelled it. But then I couldn't stand the hunger anymore, so I went to drink. Gradually, the bandits stopped treating the people locked up in the mine as human beings, but only as animals that could be pulled out at any time to kill the meat, and even the people in the mine treated each other in this way.
This kind of cannibalism situation lasted for half a year, until the devils finally withdrew, and the people in the mine were finally released, but at that time there were only about two dozen people left, including Old Man Chen's grandmother and his father.
Old man Chen was not born when the bandits ate people, and his father was only in his teens. But in the sixth or third year, Old Man Chen personally experienced a cannibalism, and this time the cannibalism was even more cruel and inhumane than the one decades ago, and the blood curse in the village began that year.
Sixty-three years, an unusual year. The whole country is shrouded in panic caused by hunger, and Sanliangzi Village is no different. At that time, most of the residents of the village were Sanliangzi bandits and the descendants of the bandits, and there were only three "aborigines" like the Jin family.
One day at the beginning of the year, a bandit surnamed Qian in the village tied up a big fat man from outside the village, and the fat man was white and clean, feeling like a young master of an official eunuch's family.
After the bandit surnamed Qian gathered the whole village, he pointed to the fat young master and said to everyone: "This is the mountain boar I brought back from hunting in the mountains, and today every family can get meat to eat, and you can come up and cut it yourself if you want to eat!" ”
When the fat young master heard this, he knelt on the ground and began to cry, saying that he was a human being and not a pig, and begged everyone to let him go.
Maybe it's because everyone in the village had eaten human flesh decades ago, so after the bandit surnamed Qian spoke, people immediately went home to get a knife, and then cut the fat young master from him as a boar, and scraped the fat young master alive. Old man Chen's father also experienced the devil sealing the mountain and eating human flesh, so he also participated in the first murder and meat cutting.
Old Man Chen was seventeen years old at the time, and he was at the scene when the fat young master was killed. The cooked meat was placed on the dining table that night, but Old Man Chen didn't move, and he kept vomiting almost the whole night, but there was nothing in his stomach to make him vomit at all. Two days later, Old Man Chen finally ate the first bite, then the second bite, and then the third bite......
The fat young master was eaten by the people of Sanliangzi Village, which opened a floodgate, and then every few days someone would bring back one or two people from outside the village, these people were also called wild boars, and then they were killed and eaten by the villagers.
One evening in the middle of the year, an old woman who had been shot and broke her leg was arrested and brought into the village, and then the village said that the old woman was a boar and wanted to kill her for meat. But the old woman didn't know how to break free from the rope, and then let everyone present faint, and when the villagers woke up, they found that the old woman was gone, but there was a trail of blood on the ground.
