Chapter 119 Flame
Chapter 119 Flame
Sitting on the ground, Jiang Jiang looked at the unknown headless statue in the center.
Isn’t the platform under the statue a good hiding place?
Jiang Jiang stood up with the help of Li Sheng. She whispered something in his ear. Li Sheng showed some surprise in his eyes, and then nodded.
"Go, go, don't delay our rest."
As this group of people issued orders to expel them again and again, Jiang Jiang and the others, who were in the wrong, seemed to have concluded that they could not find anyone in the temple and prepared to leave.
Watching the backs of the crowd turning and leaving, the young man, the leader, and the men in the temple all showed tacit smiles on their faces, with a bit of sarcasm and ridicule in their smiles.
Just as he was about to step out of the ruined temple, Li Sheng quickly turned around and ran towards the statue, while Li Xu protected Jiang Jiang behind him and asked her to leave the ruined temple quickly.
The group of people in the temple didn't react at once. Weren't Li Sheng and the others about to leave? Why were they running towards the statue?
Idol! Idol?!
It seems like they are hiding people under the statues!
Li Sheng went around and indeed found a small space under the platform.
He reached inside and pulled out two sacks of linen with great effort.
Li Sheng immediately opened the big pocket, and found the unconscious Li Ergou inside, while the other pocket was filled with bones.
Li Sheng was startled and the bones in the bag fell to the ground.
Everyone in Daxi Village also saw the bones on the ground.
Hand bones, foot bones, and a round head.
"This, this is... these beasts, they eat people!"
Some people were so frightened that they realized that the people they were dealing with could no longer be called human beings. They relied on their youth and strength to catch people and eat them.
If they didn't find Li Ergou, then what about him?
I heard that children's meat is more tender, just like people like to eat roast suckling pig...
"I'm going to fight you beasts!"
Among the crowd, the most angry was Li Ergou's father. His son was almost eaten by the group of beasts in front of him.
The anger in his heart was far greater than his fear, and he raised his knife and wanted to rush into the crowd.
"Go! Kill these bastards!"
There are countless wronged souls and dead bones buried in this small temple. The headless god is forced to become an accomplice in hiding the corpses. Without a head, it cannot see this shocking tragedy.
The group of people in the ruined temple also knew that since the matter was exposed, they would not survive the night, and the only way to escape was to fight to the death.
The two groups were in chaos, and it was obvious that the people of Daxi Village, who had the advantage in weapons, had the upper hand.
Li Sheng took advantage of the chaos to carry Li Ergou outside the temple and handed him over to Jiang Jiang. The next second, he raised the knife in his hand and joined the fight in the temple.
Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the temple, the people in Daxi Village knew that there was a conflict with others.
Li Shuming and Jiang Jiang, who had some prestige, were not present. Many people took out their hoes and sickles, and a large group of people surrounded the dilapidated temple in a heroic manner.
The young man who opened the door earlier was stabbed and finally escaped from the ruined temple in the chaos. Before he could take a breath of fresh air outside and sigh that he had finally escaped, he found that the outside was full of ferocious people from Daxi Village.
He had already been stabbed, with blood soaking half of his clothes. Now his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
He really wanted to tell the boss who was still fighting hard in the temple: Stop it, there are only those people outside.
The cut he made with the knife was quite large, and blood kept flowing out. After a while, the ground was covered with bloodstains.
The people of Daixi Village did not come forward, but just stood in a circle and looked at him with stern and cold expressions.
The man felt cold all over, and his desire for life prompted him to reach out to the crowd.
"Save me, save me, I don't want to die yet."
No one paid any attention to him, as if he was just a wisp of wind, a can of air.
He felt colder and colder, and his body began to shiver unconsciously.
Slowly, his vision began to go dark, and in a trance, he seemed to see the people he had eaten.
Mother, sister, second aunt...
"Don't come looking for me. I was forced to eat you. I was trying to survive. Don't come looking for me..."
His face was filled with fear, and he died before he could finish his words.
"Is this man dead?"
"it seems that."
"What did he just say, he ate his mother?"
"Not only that, it seems there are also his sister and other relatives."
"What a beast!"
Just as everyone was talking, the noise of fighting in the temple gradually died down and finally returned to silence.
Li Xu walked out of the ruined temple with blood all over his body, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.
Facing Jiang Jiang who looked worried, Li Xu raised his hand and told her not to come closer.
"Mom, it's all the blood of those beasts. I'm not injured. Don't come over here, or you'll get your clothes dirty."
Jiang Jiang counted the number of people who walked out of the ruined temple. There were seventeen people, not one missing, and only a few were injured. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Doctor Qin was no longer surprised to see people fighting bloody battles.
Aren't they just some external injuries? His decades of craftsmanship cannot be buried.
Jiang Jiang returned the unconscious Li Ergou to Qian Daya, whose eyes were as red as walnuts.
Qian Daya was crying and laughing while holding the child she had lost and found. The noise finally woke up Li Ergou.
He opened his eyes drowsily and touched Qian Daya's face with his little hand.
"Mom, are you here to pick me up? I can't seem to see you in my dream."
Qian Daya nodded hurriedly and kept repeating it.
"Mom is here to pick you up. It's my fault. Next time I'll accompany you and Ergou won't get lost."
Everyone tacitly agreed not to tell Ergou what had happened, and just treated it as a nightmare.
After working for so long, it was almost dawn.
No one dared to drink the few buckets of water in the temple, so they were all used to wash the patrol members.
According to them, if they have killed the people, what is there to be afraid of?
According to the villagers, no one wanted the temple pots or sleeping blankets.
These things carry resentment and evil spirits, and if used, they can cause families to be broken up and people to suffer.
Even the most frugal family would not have the courage to use it.
Standing at the gate of the dilapidated temple, a strong smell of blood wafted out. The villagers quietly moved away from here, and few people looked in this direction.
Li Xu came to Jiang Jiang and sighed.
"Mom, tell me, how could someone not even let go of his own mother and child?"
Li Xu couldn't imagine how those people in the temple could be so cruel.
"So they are not human beings, but things worse than animals."
Jiang Jiang patted Li Xu on the back. She could see that Li Xu's mentality and world outlook were obviously affected by what had just happened.
"Burn it down, burn this temple down."
"From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes, in the next life, I will be reborn into a good family."
