Chapter 56: The Ancestral Temple
Someone died?
How is this possible! SherΓ©a knew in her heart that as wolves, he and Xiao Yi didn't kill anyone last night!
What's going on?
Sherea almost screamed, but he held back, but his brow furrowed.
There was no killing, but someone died, which was obviously anomalous, and something unusual must have happened.
If you are surprised that someone is dead at this time, I am afraid that Dick will question why someone is so surprised when they die, isn't it normal for wolves to kill? Do you know that the wolf didn't kill last night?
No matter what, you can't reveal that you know...... Something that only a wolf would know.
"Huh? Someone died! Who is it? Xiao also made no secret of his surprise.
But that doesn't matter, after all, Xiao Yi is not like this, but it is not normal, in fact, Dick glanced at Xiao Yi, and there were thousands of thoughts in his head, but in the end he still did not suspect it.
Sherea also asked, "Dick, who was killed by the wolf last night?" β
"......" Dick looked at the two of them for a moment before he said, "Last night, the wolf didn't kill anyone, so it seems that our guards are guarding the right people." β
"Didn't kill anyone?" Sherrea was a little surprised, "Then why are there still dead people?" What's going on? Also, who died? β
ββ¦β¦ The person who died was the mother-in-law, and as for the reason, you can see for yourselves. β
As he spoke, Dick pointed to the source of the sound.
"Mother-in-law is dead?"
Xiao Yi's expression changed, and Sherrea also showed a stunned expression, and the two of them looked in the direction Dick pointed at the same time.
All the people in the village gathered around, and the expressions on their faces were full of grief, sadness, and confusion.
The body of the mother-in-law was right in front of them.
It's just that the corpse of the mother-in-law is very strange, she is covered with bite scars, her already old body is completely shriveled, and her organs are exposed, but there is no trace of blood, just like the beasts that fell from the sky on the day she entered the village.
It's just that, unlike those beasts, and incomprehensibly, the corpse of the mother-in-law has been continuously glowing with white light for some reason.
Ayi was kneeling weakly in front of his mother-in-law's corpse at the moment, his only relative had died, and he didn't know how long he had been crying.
Moreover, unexpectedly, the old village chief, who was already delirious, also knelt in front of his mother-in-law's corpse and let out a whimper that made him feel his grief.
Xiao Yi and Sereia also realized that at this moment, it was better for them not to ask anything first, so they retreated to the same position as Dick.
After mourning for her mother-in-law for a while, the people in the village worked together to bury her.
There is no funeral, because the feast ceremony must also be performed today.
β¦β¦
When he came to the cafeteria, under the comfort of everyone, Ayi slowly talked about his mother-in-law's situation yesterday.
"Grandma yesterday, she suddenly stood at the door and was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said that she was going to the ancestral shrine." Ayi said: "I said to go with her, but she said that she would be back soon, and asked me to wait for her obediently, but ...... I waited until the moment I fell asleep, but I couldn't wait for her to come back! β
"Ancestral Temple?" Xiao also asked, "What is that?" β
"It's not a thing, it's an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of our village." Xiyun explained: "My mother-in-law's former friends, family members, and all the people who died because of the feast in the past are all there. It's just that...... We don't know the exact location of the Ancestral Temple. β
"Don't know the exact location?" Teak Bing Tian was surprised, "Shouldn't the ancestral shrine be to bow down from time to time?" How could it not be known? β
Brother Tie opened his mouth and replied: "Mother-in-law deliberately did not tell us the location of the ancestral temple, she said that there are enough people in the ancestral temple, and enough people have died because of the feast. β
"Let's put down the ancestral shrine in advance, it doesn't matter." Dick looked at everyone, "In short, the cause of my mother-in-law's death should be that she didn't make it to the forced sleep time last night, and she still stayed outside the building, violating rule three, and then ...... Is that a forced death? β
Dick remembered the tragic situation of his mother-in-law's corpse and couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
"That's right." At this time, Yunsha said: "I heard my mother-in-law say that people who violate the rules of the feast are all like that. Being killed by a wolf is different, it is a very normal death. β
"From this, it can be determined that the mother-in-law was not killed by a wolf, but miscalculated her speed and the time of nightfall, and failed to catch the time to sleep and violated the rules and died." Dick came to a conclusion.
"That's not right!" Ayi looked at Dick angrily, "Grandma is not the kind of person who can't tell the time!" β
"Well, there was some accident on the way." Dick also said: "Even if you walk every day, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, not to mention that my mother-in-law is very old......
"......" Ayi lowered his head.
"Did you die in an accident? That's really ...... There's nothing you can do. Xiao Yi's face was slightly gloomy, and he couldn't help but wonder: "But, it's very strange, why did my mother-in-law suddenly go to the ancestral shrine?" β
Hearing Xiao Yi's question, Ayi suddenly yelled at Xiao Yi: "What's so strange! The feast is here again, isn't it normal for her to miss her former family in the ancestral shrine!? β
"Ayi." Xi Yun stepped forward and said, "I know you're sad, but even then you can't lose your temper at people. β
"......" Ayi tilted his head away and said no more.
Dick looked at everyone again, "What Ayi said makes sense, nothing strange, and compared to the ancestral shrine, we need to pay more attention to the feast right now, right?" β
Hearing this, all the people in the village nodded.
yes, no matter what, the feast has to be held, and instead of being sad, think more about how to make this damn feast end sooner.
But soon, the people of the village realized a problem.
All along, they have relied on their mother-in-law, but now that their mother-in-law is gone, who should they rely on?
Who else can be trusted in the village today?
Many people can't help but fall into confusion.
At the same time, Dick looked at these people, and knew the confusion in their hearts. But also because of the clarity, the corners of Dick's mouth couldn't help but rise a little.
Now that my mother-in-law is gone, it is undoubtedly the best time!
SherΓ©a looked at Dick's wicked smile, and it didn't take her to think about it to know that Dick must have paid some attention.
Shereya wanted to remind Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi didn't care about these things at all.
Xiao is also more concerned that there is still very little food today!
"Chef!" Xiao Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran into the kitchen to try to reason with the chef!
