Chapter Ninety-Nine
Shi Linchu took Feng Yueming into the ancestral hall, and after entering, the bloody gas and the smell of meat became even stronger, this was after the secret guard had extinguished the fire, and the boiling soup in the pot had calmed down.
It is no exaggeration to say that the scene in the ancestral hall is called hell on earth, and what they see outside is less than half of the miserable situation inside.
Six or seven women were leaning against the wall, with rags covered by the secret guards, and their exposed skin was bruised, already with less air in and more breath, and what had happened was obviously self-evident.
Not only women, but even a few good-looking men were in the same situation, but the situation of these men was obviously worse than those women, some of them had already lost their breath, and the flesh on one of his legs was gone.
Feng Yueming retched twice and pressed down again, but the hand holding Shi Linchu's clothes tightened a little more.
Shi Linchu hugged Feng Yueming, looking at this miserable situation, his brows were furrowed, and his face was already full of anger.
Continuing to walk inside, I saw several people tightly tied to the offering table, with rags stuffed in their mouths, and seeing their faces full of horror, except for a young man who came forward, he was obviously asking for help.
Seeing this, Xie Zheng stepped forward and took the rag out of the young man's mouth.
"Help...... Help me...... Save me......" The young man came to Xie Zhengyi, his face full of anxiety, as if a drowning person met driftwood, "I don't want to die, please save me, they want to eat us." ”
As soon as Xie Zheng pulled out the knife, the young man was so frightened that he was stunned there, staring at the knife in Shi Linchu's hand motionlessly, and the others were even more frightened, moving desperately, wanting to get farther away from Xie Zhengyi, but the actions of these people made Xie Zhengyi dare not move for a while, for fear that they would struggle and move and hurt them.
"I'll do it. Seeing this, Feng Yueming took out a dagger that was no longer than a palm from his boot and slowly approached the group of people, "Don't worry, we are here to save you, you will not die." Keep your voice as low as possible, for fear of scaring them yourself.
Feng Yueming didn't let these people relax much, they were still hiding back, for fear that they would become a dead soul under the knife in the next moment, and then become meat in the pot, only that young man came over.
"Girl......" The young man seemed to be much calmer than the others, but the trembling of his body betrayed his fear, "Please let us go." ”
Feng Yueming took a deep look at this young man, and his hand fell.
The young man closed his eyes tightly, and the expression on his face looked like resignation and relief, but the next moment, he felt that the rope on his body was loosened, and he opened his eyes in disbelief, facing Feng Yueming's gaze, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything, but tears fell, and then he cried loudly.
Seeing this, the other people who were tied up came over to Feng Yueming one after another, and the scrambling appearance was actually a little fierce.
Shi Lin Chuyi took Feng Yueming back to his side and hugged him in his arms.
Xie Zhengyi reacted very quickly and blocked in front of Shi Linchu and Feng Yueming, guarding against these people.
When these people looked at Xie Zhengyi, they subconsciously wanted to shrink back again.
Shi Linchu took Feng Yueming's dagger and threw it at the young man's feet, "You go and untie them." "These people are afraid of them, and he is also worried that they will hurt Feng Yueming," the two people who came over looked at them and did not allow them to walk around. ”
Two guards came over and stayed by the side of the group, and sure enough, some of the people who had untied the rope staggered and tried to escape, but they were blocked by the guards, and after a few times, these people continued to shrink by the wall.
Only the young man, after untying everyone, got up and tidied up the clothes on his body, and saluted the two secret guards, "Two strong men, I don't know if Xiaosheng can go and thank the life-saving benefactor and return the dagger." ”
The dark guard glanced at the young man and did not respond.
The young man waited for a while, saluted the two secret guards, and sat down on the ground, without worrying about his life, the fatigue of the past few days came up, and he actually fell asleep against the wall.
After Feng Yueming opened the door behind the ancestral hall, a strong bloody breath came to his face, if the ancestral hall outside is already hell on earth, then this hut inside is already hell, the stumps outside are nothing compared to here, this is simply a slaughter field, chains and ropes are thrown on the ground at will, two stools are spliced together, and there is a dead man tied to it, blood stains the ground, more than a dozen dead people who have been disemboweled, and there is even a pregnant woman who has been disemboweled。
When Shi Lin first saw the pregnant woman, he somehow thought of the small body in the pot outside, and he was also nauseous for a while.
This was beyond Feng Yueming's capacity, and she just glanced at it and buried her face in Shi Linchu's arms.
"It's nothing here, let's go out first. Shi Linchu forcibly suppressed the desire to vomit and said to Xie Zhengyi.
Xie Zhengyi's face was also very ugly, he couldn't say a word, he felt that he would spit it out as long as he opened his mouth, and nodded.
-------------------------------------
The outside looked much better after being cleaned up by the secret guards, and even the cauldron was removed, but the tragic situation seen in this ancestral hall made Feng Yueming unable to stay here for a moment.
On the offering table in the ancestral hall, the tablets are still neatly arranged, and there is almost no dust on them, obviously even in this situation, there is no delay in cleaning here, these butchers should be from this village.
Feng Yueming looked at the bright candles and neat and clean tablets, and her heart was mixed, the ancestral hall used to worship and place the ancestral tablets on weekdays had actually become a slaughter field, which was no longer understandable to her.
"Let's go out and find a room to rest. Shi Linchu said softly to Feng Yueming.
Although Feng Yueming had calmed down, she still felt a little soft, and now she not only wanted to leave this ancestral hall, but also wanted to leave this village, but this was unrealistic after all, so she nodded.
The guards surveyed the whole village, gathered everyone into one room and tied them up, not forgetting to stuff rags in their mouths, and the passers-by who were looted by the villagers were arranged in another courtyard, which was also guarded by the guards.
Feng Yueming's house is relatively poor in the village, it is empty, the furniture is the same, and there is dust everywhere, but it makes them feel relieved, which shows that this house has not been inhabited for a long time, and no one should die here.
It was also a helpless move to choose such a house, after all, the secret guards found blood stains or corpses in more than half of the houses in this village, although it was dilapidated, it was more reassuring.
