Chapter 204: Yan family tragedy, curse or man-made?
The next day.
early morning.
Yan Cisheng knelt in the blood-stained ground.
In front of him was the skeleton of his old father, with obvious teeth marks still remaining on it.
The internal organs, flesh and blood... were all eaten up by him.
Hard to imagine.
In just one night, he ate a person of the same size raw.
It is even more difficult to imagine what kind of horrific scene happened in this room that night.
He looked dazed.
Then, his eyes turned white and he fainted.
……
Let’s talk about the east entrance of Yanjia Village.
One morning, an old farmer who was plowing the fields passed by this place and noticed a faint pungent smell of blood. He walked a few steps closer and looked inside. He saw a bloody man kneeling in the house. He was immediately scared out of his wits and started to pee and shit. Then he ran to a house at the north entrance and shouted inside.
"Yanzilai, something happened in your family!"
After shouting a few times, a woman in her thirties, with a broad waist and a plain face, but a woman who looked like a good mother, pushed open the wooden door and started to curse: "You are disrespectful to your elders. My family is doing well here, how come something bad happened? You come to curse me so early in the morning? I haven't offended you, have I?"
After three questions in a row, the old farmer was silenced. Because he was frightened and his mind was not as flexible as when he was young, he stood at the door hesitating for a long time and couldn't explain clearly.
The woman named Yan Zilai turned around and went into the house, picked up the broom, and was about to sweep away the unlucky star, muttering the word "bad luck" under her breath.
Yan Zilai is Yan Ci's eldest sister. The "Zi" in her name means hoping for a son. Although she was given a humble name, her old father was actually not bad to her. Although he would beat and scold her occasionally, he would never let her go hungry as long as he had food.
Of course, it certainly can't be compared with the gift of life.
I saw that the drought woman had already taken the broom and was about to sweep the bad luck out of the door.
But when he got closer, he smelled a foul odor of feces and urine. He looked down and saw that the old man's pants were full of dirty things. He was about to mock the man, wondering if he was so old that he couldn't take care of himself, but suddenly he thought of something.
It was at this time that the old man hurriedly adjusted his thoughts and said, "Bah, I was wrong, it's not your home, it's your mother's home, go and have a look!"
Upon hearing this, the drought-stricken woman immediately turned around and woke up her sleeping husband. Her husband did not dare to delay, and hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed to his father-in-law's house with his wife. Sure enough, he smelled a bloody odor before they got close.
Afterwards, more and more people gathered.
Yan Citian’s second sister, “Yan Dilai”, also received the news and rushed over with her husband. Soon, the two sisters knelt at the door and cried bitterly.
They were a good family.
Such a tragedy happened overnight, and everyone would say: How sad.
The village chief brought a few strong young men to maintain order at the scene.
Yan Shiliu and the others were investigating the "Father Eater" curse, and how could they miss it when the curse came true? So after hearing the news, they all rushed here and looked inside.
The magician has a bottle of potion called "Water Eye Potion", which is made from materials such as deep-sea one-eyed fish, prickly grass, dog blood, and spring worms. The potion has magical powers. He has used it once before, when he was fighting a giant python in the water. He smeared the potion in his eyes and gained the ability to see in water.
At this moment, he took out the magic potion, gave each person a few drops, and told them that applying it on the eyes could increase vision and insight, allowing them to observe the situation in the room and help capture details. In short, it would come in handy.
Li Changxiao had long wanted to experience the power of the potion. He took the potion and applied it to his eyes as the magician instructed. Then he felt a stinging pain. It was not the kind of pain that made it hard to open your eyes, but the kind of pain that came with a slight coolness and a bit of numbness.
Afterwards, his eyesight indeed improved. The effectiveness of this magic potion was not low, but it was only temporary. However, compared with his own magic: Eye of Detection, it was still far inferior.
After using the water eye potion, the scene in the room suddenly became clear to everyone. What they saw was dried blood on the ground, scattered bones, and unconsumed coarse grains, wild vegetables, and scalps with hair.
Yan Shiliu frowned.
Then, from what he overheard from others, he learned that this tragedy might be the fulfillment of the curse of the father-eater.
He only imagined the scene last night, and he felt his stomach churning, and had a strong urge to vomit. His mind was shaking, and he was speechless. He had only heard about it before, but now was the first time he had personally experienced such a tragedy. To be honest, before today, he was not sure whether the "curse" that had been circulating in the village was true or false, or how true it was.
......
After investigating the situation in the village, the village chief walked up to the villagers with a sad look on his face, "Old Fu... Alas."
The villagers suddenly turned pale.
At this time, Yan Shiliu came up and said, "Village Chief, there is a dead person in our village after all."
"When Uncle Fu was a child, he fed me candy. I can't let him die in obscurity. I am very good at Qinggong. I want to go to the town and call the famous detective to investigate."
Yan Shiliu spoke seriously, and the skinny old Taoist just said inwardly "What a clever boy" when he heard it. He was experienced and could tell at a glance that these words were sincere but also intended to test the waters.
Even though the house is scary now, if we really look into it, it is still unclear whether it was a deliberate murder or a curse.
After all, if we talk about the evilness of human hearts, it is no worse than the so-called curse...
The village chief frowned upon hearing this, "Little Sixteen, I know you are very filial, and I have seen everything you have done for everyone, but... Listen to what the village chief has said, let's just let this matter go, and let's not delve into it. When Cisheng wakes up, don't mention these things."
Seeing that Yan Shiliu was still hesitant to speak, the village chief then said something meaningful, "Little Shiliu, you are still young. This kind of situation has happened several times in our village before. There is nothing we can do about it. Alas, fate is determined by heaven. We are just a drop in the ocean."
"Besides, even if you go out and want to hire a magician, they may not come to our remote place. There is a lot of chaos outside right now, and the government is busy with their own affairs, so how can they have time to take care of us?"
"If you feel really bad, take them out for some fun."
Having said this, the village chief already felt sleepy, waved his hand, and asked everyone to leave.
The villagers soon went about their own business and stopped talking. This matter was too taboo and they would not even discuss it in their spare time after meals. Only when the couple had finished having sex and were sleeping together would they talk about it in whispers.
On the way back.
The Gu girl patted Yan Shiliu's shoulder and said with a smile, "Boy, I didn't expect your village to be so weird."
Yan Shiliu quickly shushed him, looked around, and said, "Let's talk when we get back."
