The vicious female supporting role is ruthless and arrogant

Chapter 252 Cannibalism

Xu Qingfeng held the old man and said, "Uncle, are you okay? Is Gege Village that scary?"

The old man sat back, straightened his body, raised his small bamboo cup and took a sip of wine, grinning and saying:

"My boy, this Goge Village is really weird."

He Yi pretended to know nothing and asked jokingly:

"Master, what's so weird? Are they going to eat people?"

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect the old man to actually nod.

“He really eats it!”

Several people looked at the old man in astonishment.

“Our village is not close to Gege Village, but decades ago, if you wanted to go to the market, you had to pass by their village.

Later, there were so many rumors about the horrors of Gog Village that people were so scared that they stopped passing through their village.

"Then how do you know that people in their village practice cannibalism?" Xu Qingfeng asked curiously.

Having said that, the old man raised his glass and took a sip, then continued with a grin:

“When I was ten years old, I went to the market with my eldest brother and his wife.

In those days, on market day, people of all ages, rich or poor, wanted to take a stroll around the market. It was very lively.

It was so lively that naturally there were a lot of people, and everyone was crowded together in the market, so I got separated from my brother and sister-in-law.

I looked for them in the market for most of the day but couldn't find them. It was getting dark, so I had no choice but to go back home the same way I came.

I am small and have short legs, so it was completely dark when I had only walked one-third of the way.

I could have found my way back, but once it got dark I got scared.

In addition, it was night, so the judgment ability was much worse, and as a result, he took the wrong road.

I don't know how I ended up wandering around and ended up in Gege Village.

It seemed like they were holding some kind of ceremony that day.

I saw several people tied to a wooden table. It was quite far away and it was dark, so I couldn't tell whether the people tied to the table were dead or alive.

I saw many people holding knives, surrounding the people tied to the table, cutting off their meat, and then turning around and roasting it over the fire.

I was so scared at the time that I turned and ran.

I don't know where he ran off to.

He was so frightened, tired and hungry that he fainted on the hillside.

But in a daze, I seemed to see a beautiful older sister picked me up and carried me for a long distance.

When I woke up, I was already lying in my bed at home.

I asked my family if it was a beautiful older sister who sent me back.

My family said I was possessed by a demon and there was no elder sister to take me back.

They found me in the vegetable field near the entrance of the village.

After my family said this, I couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or reality.

But I saw scenes of cannibalism in Goge Village, and I guarantee that they are absolutely true.

I also told the adults at home about this.

But my parents didn’t believe it and told me not to mention it again, otherwise people would think I was crazy.

I was young at that time, so of course I was afraid that people would say I was crazy. So, from then on, I never mentioned the cannibalism in Goge Village to anyone again. "

"Uncle, the scene of cannibalism you saw in Goge Village, could it be an illusion?"

The old man shook his head, "Absolutely impossible.

The pretty young ladies I saw later were most likely hallucinations caused by hunger and cold.

But the scene of cannibalism could never be an illusion.

I was already ten years old at that time, so there was no way I could have made a mistake.”

He Yi and the others looked at each other, half believing and half doubting what the old man said.

“No matter how dangerous it is, we have to try to go into the village and find someone.

This person is our friend’s sister, maybe she has a way to cure my wife’s eyes without surgery.”

The old man looked up at Zuo Zixuan, who was staring blankly in front of him, and thought for a moment before saying:

"If you really want to go, put two pieces of licorice in your mouth before entering the village."

He Yi and Xu Qingfeng looked at the old man in shock, "Licorice"?

Isn't this the antidote they usually use to cure the Datura drug?

"Uncle, why do you need to hold licorice in your mouth?" Song Yingyan asked with a strange look on his face.

“After that incident, I always consciously or unconsciously observed the people of Goge Village.

He just wanted to prove that the cannibalism scene he saw was not an illusion, and even ran to the entrance of their village many times to wander around.

However, I am the type who is both timid and ambitious. I want to sneak into the village to find out what is going on, but I am afraid of being eaten if I enter the village, so I just dare to hide at the entrance of their village and observe.

I found that every time their villagers entered the village, they would put something small in their mouths.

Once, a villager dropped one on the ground. After he left, I ran over to pick it up and checked it. It was just an ordinary piece of licorice.

I think the reason why they were not affected when entering and exiting was probably because they were holding the licorice in their mouths.

But I don’t have the guts to go in there with liquorice in my mouth.”

"You don't have the guts to go in with licorice in your mouth. Why didn't you tell me when I went there?"

The door was pushed open from the outside and a middle-aged man came in.

"Hey..., when did you come back, little brat?"

The middle-aged man ignored the old man and walked straight towards He Yi.

"Hello, Captain He, I am Lin Chunhong, the mayor of Wuma Town."

Lin Chunhong politely extended his hand to He Yi.

He Yi quickly stood up and held Lin Chunhong's hand, "Hello, Mayor Lin, this is my wife, and this is her apprentice..."

After the introduction, Xu Qingfeng took a lunch box with vegetables out to wash it, and came back to give it to Lin Chunhong, "Mayor Lin, if you don't mind, come and eat and drink with everyone."

Lin Chunhong took the lunch box and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Thank you for the hospitality."

He Yi opened another box of meat slices and poured them into the pot.

"How did Mayor Lin ..."

"How do you know you are Captain He?" Lin Chunhong asked before He Yi finished speaking.

He Yi smiled and nodded.

"Before I got off work at noon today, the leader of the military region called me and told me that you guys were coming over and asked me to take care of you.

I had originally planned to go to the countryside to inspect the spring farming work today. Thinking that you would not arrive until seven or eight o'clock, I went down as planned. I did not expect that you would come down so soon.

It’s really neglectful…”

He Yi shook his head. "There is no neglect. Everything is fine. We will leave tomorrow morning and we don't need any special care."

The old man suddenly felt uneasy while listening to the conversation between Lin Chunhong and He Yi.

He quietly tugged at the corner of Lin Chunhong's clothes under the table, leaned over and whispered something in his ear, and quietly stuffed the two dollars in his hand into his hand.

Lin Chunhong held two dollars in his hand and turned to look at the old man in surprise.

“Dad…, you…”

"I, I don't know." The old man lowered his head in embarrassment.

Lin Chunhong said speechlessly: "Alas, I don't know what to say to you.

I have lived for decades, but I still can't change my bad habit of seeking small gains."

The old man said with a fake smile: "Life was difficult in those years. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, you are a bastard.

I'm not taking advantage of you, so where do you get the tuition and living expenses?"

When Lin Chunhong heard the old man's words, he was suddenly speechless.

The old man had been the village chief for most of his life. When he wanted to bring him and his mother to the town, he simply convened a villagers' meeting and directly passed the position of village chief to his eldest brother.

The villagers were all honest, and no one raised any objections to whoever the old man said he would pass it on to.

When the old man was the village chief, he more or less developed some bad habits of being greedy for small gains.

If anyone comes to him for anything, they have to dig up two green onions from the soil, otherwise he will take you forever.

However, he accepted the things from others and did the job in a thorough manner.

When his eldest brother became the village chief, he no longer had the old man's bad habits, and he was pragmatic in his work and was very much loved by the villagers.

This old man came to the town, but he just couldn't change his old bad habits when he was the village chief.

Lin Chunhong politely handed the two dollars in his hand to Xu Qingfeng.

"Brother, I developed some bad habits when I was young. I'm really sorry for taking your money."

Xu Qingfeng pushed the money back nonchalantly.

"Hey, it's not that much money, just give me some wine."

Lin Chunhong knew that it was not easy to take back the money that the other person had taken out of the bag, so he had to hand the money back to the old man.

"Dad, keep it. Don't do this again next time."

The old man took the money with a smile on his face, "Hey hey hey... I won't do that next time."

next time?

In this remote area, I haven’t seen a stranger staying in the guesthouse for several years. I don’t know if I will have the chance to meet one again while I am still alive.

Lin Chunhong looked at his father's greedy look, raised his head helplessly, and said apologetically to He Yi and the others:

“My father is almost 70 years old this year. He has been the village chief for most of his life. After I became the mayor, I brought them here from the village.

But they just couldn't get used to life in town. Not only were they always sick, but they also became noisy after a long time, which really made us two helpless.

Later, I was assigned a temporary job as a gatekeeper for him.

This way, I can be close to him and take care of him often. He gets sick less often and doesn’t make a fuss. It also helps him pass the time.”

He Yi raised his glass and clinked it with Lin Chunhong, "Master, those who are capable should do more work."

"There is no such thing as the more capable the more work, it's just that there is too much idle time."

Lin Chunhong smiled and shook his head.

"By the way, I heard from the leader that you are going to Goge Village?"

He Yi nodded and asked:

"Could Mayor Lin be the young mayor who went to Gege Village to do propaganda work ten years ago and then fainted at the entrance of the village?"

Lin Chunhong raised his eyebrows and smiled awkwardly:

“Good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.”

Then he turned and looked at the old man.

"Dad, why didn't I know that you went to Goge Village when you were a child?"

The old man took a bite of the food and said, "After that incident, your grandparents didn't let me mention it again.

Today, when I heard that Captain He and his team were going, I said a few more words.

Moreover, I think that Captain He and his men are reasonable and would not think that I am a psychopath or talking nonsense. "

"Then why didn't you tell me about licorice when I went there to do propaganda work?"

"I didn't know you were going to Gege Village to do propaganda. By the time I found out, you had already been brought back, so I didn't mention it again."

Lin Chunhong: …

He is such a good father...
