Chapter 86 Cannibals

Uncle Li pointed to the pair of male and female corpses in the ice, looked at the stunned Wang Gengyu and said: "They are your son and the so-called daughter-in-law, but their souls have entered the underworld, and these two bodies are really just skins, so it is better to burn them on fire." ”

"Burned, burned?" Wang Gengyu looked at Uncle Li in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and said with a nod of pain: "For my own selfish desires, I have brought such a big trouble to the clansmen, I can't regret it, just burn it, hey." ”

Then, under the command of Uncle Li, the villagers found shovels and pickaxes, smashed the ice, and carried out the two bodies that were hugged tightly together.

When the two corpses passed by Yang Yi, the arms of the two corpses hung down, and he suddenly saw that on the left and right wrists of the two corpses, there were really two shallow red scars, which looked like they were born.

After the two corpses were carried out of the ice cellar, Li Shu'er gave some guidance and set up a wooden shelf at the head of the village, just like holding a bonfire party. Then, Li Shu'er took a porcelain altar, put the ashes of the two people in it, and put Zhang Zhen Soul Talisman on it, and then handed it over to Wang Gengyu to be buried in the ancestral tomb for a memory.

After doing all this, Uncle Li told Wang Gengyu that they were leaving, but where was Wang Gengyu willing to let go, and the villagers who respected Li Shu'er and others like gods also unanimously asked Li Shu'er and them to stay longer, and they wanted every household to take turns to entertain these living immortals from heaven.

"Look at what simple villagers, we just did some trivial things, but we were so embraced, it's really touching." Uncle Li looked at the grateful villagers from the bottom of his heart, wiped his eyes pretentiously, and said beautifully.

"Come on, don't fool around, if you don't leave, those Taiping troops will hit Cangzhou City, and it's too late for us to go back, my God." Yang Yi was afraid that Uncle Li would get off the donkey and stay in this Dawangzhuang for a while, so he said dissuasively with a face.

"Okay, I know that you are worried about your sister Ling'er," Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yi teasingly, and then his face turned straight, "But we really have to hurry, after all, there are still more than 100,000 Li people in Cangzhou City, and it's not fun." ”

After speaking, Uncle Li didn't care about Wang Gengyu and the villagers' hard stay, and insisted on leaving.

Seeing that he really couldn't keep Uncle Li and his party, Wang Gengyu sent someone to take two ingots of gold and a thousand taels of silver, and gave them to Uncle Li as a thank you gift.

Seeing this, Uncle Li bared his teeth and smiled, reached out and grabbed a few ingots of silver and threw them to Wei Ergou, asking him to pick them up and entangle them on the road, and the rest declined.

Bidding farewell to Wang Gengyu and those simple villagers who shed tears, Uncle Li looked at the bamboo basket containing the four female ghosts and the four little ghosts that Wei Ergou was carrying, and saw that there was no shortage of people and things, so he reached out and patted the butt of the green mule ridden by the peach wood demon, and shouted: "Children, hurry up, let's go after the grandsons who are transporting stolen silver." ”

"What are you going to do?" As soon as Wei Ergou heard Uncle Li's words, he didn't know what Uncle Li was thinking, so he asked.

"Think about it, why Cao Tong and the murderers who were killed by that Yingzi were in a hurry to transport the silver out, and where to transport it, there are too many things to say, you entered the Tao late, some things don't know, in the current troubled times, like Jiugong Dao, Qingcha Sect, Yuandun Sect, these left-handed cults are the dregs of the flood, widely collecting disciples, and doing all the bad things that want to make money and kill people, poison the souls, I think that Cao Tong and these murderers are in the same vein as those left-handed ways, Therefore, it is suspected that all this is secretly manipulated by a cult behind the scenes, and if they are not eradicated as soon as possible, more innocent people will certainly suffer. Uncle Li said and said, he made himself a little out of position, and it seemed that he really regarded himself as the grandson of Shuibo Liangshan.

"Pull it down, you're thinking about that lot of silver, aren't you?" Seeing that Uncle Li was determined to take care of every quasi-score in this file, Yang Yi was bitter and couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"Cultivating the Tao, what is the Tao, is not just learning to participate in meditation, pranayama and qi cultivation and seals, spells, mudras, etc., more importantly, it is more important to cultivate the spirit of heaven and man's induction, the courage to do things in the heavenly way, as well as the ambition to accumulate virtue and do good, and make meritorious contributions, this is also the only way to cultivate the Tao and become immortals, so let's eliminate those left-handed cults, not just for the courage of blood and qi or for the sake of yellow and white things, but to complete a kind of practice, you know?" Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou eagerly, and sincerely hoped that his blood-pumping words would resonate with Yang Yi and Wei Ergou.

I didn't want the two of them to look at Uncle Li with a smile for a while, and replied, "I don't understand, why don't you say it again, uncle?" ”

Uncle Li rolled his eyes in anger.

At this time, the peach wood demon, who had not spoken, spoke: "I said that you are not going to freeze to death old lady, what do you want to do, do you decide quickly?" ”

"Eh, girl, when did you learn the tone of the children of the rivers and lakes," Uncle Li teasingly glanced at the impatient peach wood demon, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Yes, don't you know how to escape from the ground, can you help Uncle Er see which direction those bastards are going, hehe"

"This place is frozen like a stone, and you want to kill me," the peach wood demon glanced at Uncle Li with disgust, but he still got down from the green mule, pulled out the hairpin, held it in his hand and recited a few words silently, then threw the hairpin, and the hairpin spun down on the snow, and the peach wood demon looked at the direction pointed by the tail of the hairpin, and said, "They should be going to the northeast." ”

"Ah, coincidentally, we want to go back to Cangzhou, and we just have to go northeast, this is really a wish, okay, let's go." Uncle Li listened to the words of the peach wood demon, laughed, and took the lead to walk northeast in the face of the wind and snow.

Along the way, I also met several small villages along the way, all of which were mostly fleeing to the neighboring Zhili because of the war, and as long as a few old people could not leave their homeland, they were still staying in the village.

Uncle Li and his entourage simply bought some coarse noodles in the village and ate them, and then continued to move forward, not wanting to go, there was no village in front of them to stay overnight.

Seeing that it was getting late, Uncle Li discussed it with Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, and Taomu Demon, and everyone was reluctant to go back, but fortunately they kept moving forward, and it was a big deal to find a leeward place to set up camp, gather a pile of firewood, and drink a few sips of the wine in Uncle Li's wine gourd, it must not be difficult to survive this night.

After making up his mind, Uncle Li cheered up and took Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and the Peach Wood Demon to a barren ridge all the way.

"This ridge is divided into sunny slopes and shady slopes, and there is no wind on the shady slopes, let's go there to find a col, which can be leeward and less snowy, so we can have a good night's sleep." Uncle Li looked at the barren ridge and made a suggestion for camping.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou had no objections, and the peach wood demon didn't look weak, but she had been cultivating for hundreds of years, and the hardships and tribulations she had endured were unimaginable to ordinary people, so she didn't have a problem with this kind of snowy night camping in the wilderness at all, so she naturally nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, Li Shu'er took Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and the Peach Wood Demon to climb the barren ridge, and then walked along a path in the direction of the shady slope.

At this moment, they saw a flash of fire on the shady slope, and at first they thought it was dazzling, but then they looked at it, and sure enough, it was the fire of the silver snake dancing, and occasionally they could hear the noisy voices of people and the neighing of horses, and they couldn't help but be curious, so they tied the green mule to a cluster of bushes, and several people tiptoed over to see what was going on.

When they arrived at the col, Uncle Li and the others squatted down, carefully crawled to the edge of the col, and looked down, and saw four two-horse-drawn taxis parked in the col, and the cars were full of sturdy black wooden boxes tied by thick ropes, each box was locked with a large copper lock, and there was a seal on the outside, I don't know what it contained, but it can be seen from the wheels that fell deep into the snow that the weight of each carriage was not light.

At the tail of the carriages were tethered two horses that were burying their heads in forage, and from the constant snorting of the horses, it could be concluded that the horses were tired from the long journey.

In front of the carriage, eleven or twelve men in fur hats and leather coats, with thick faces and swords at their waists, were drinking around a large and vigorous bonfire, and a long object was faintly visible in the fire, which seemed to be the carcass of an animal such as a sheep or a dog being roasted.

After a while, a man stood up, hooked an iron hook to the object in the fire, and laughed loudly: "This fat sheep has been roasted for some hours, and Lao Tzu is impatient to wait, and first cut off a leg of good meat and wine, haha"

The man was so powerful that he dragged the object out of the fire, but also brought up some of the burning wood, and the flying sparks scalded the rest of the men to their feet to avoid them.

As those sparks dispersed, a black and smoky object suddenly appeared on the white snow, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and the Peach Wood Demon looked at each other, and almost didn't exclaim, the object turned out to be the corpse of a roasted black and charred person.

What kind of person is this, how can he do such a heart-wrenching act of cannibalism?

At this moment, the man who dragged out the corpse pulled out a short knife from his waist, used the knife to cut off a strip of meat from the chest of the corpse, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, and then laughed wildly: "The meat of this girl is really fragrant but not greasy, and it even tastes like me, haha"
