Chapter 109 Changle Village
Chapter 109 Changle Village
Gousheng's father, Xu Huasheng, said: "I am the village chief."
He looked at the group of people in front of him whose temperament seemed different from those of them, a group of peasants, and the Dali Temple brand.
For some reason, Gousheng's father did not have the panic he had always felt about being investigated and discovered by the government. Instead, he felt a sense of relief as if a huge rock had finally been lifted off his shoulders.
The people around were in an uproar for a moment when they heard Jia San's identity as the chief judge, but soon they fell silent again. There was numbness in everyone's eyes, and more importantly, a sense of relief.
Shen An checked the situation in the house and then looked at the meat in the pottery jar.
After doing all these actions, he returned to Wei Chu's side, intending to explain to him in a low voice. After contacting Wei Chu's eyes, Shen An said in a normal tone: "Both of them are dead, their blood is still hot, and they haven't been dead for long."
The women in the crowd wiped their tears with their hands, and some sobbed, "How could Sanya's mother be so stupid!" "If you ask me, Shugen deserves it! He deserves to die, he should have died a long time ago!"
"Woo woo woo, people like Shugen should have died long ago!"
Shen An paused, looked at Qin Chaoyan and the others, and said, "The content in the pottery jar is human flesh. Judging from the appearance, it should be the flesh of a child no older than five years old."
After hearing what Shen An said, Wei Wu and Shan Ge, who had been able to keep their composure before, could no longer hold back. They rushed out of the crowd and held onto the earthen wall in the yard while retching.
Wei Zhao and his children were so frightened that they forgot to cry for a moment and their faces were filled with fear.
The villagers in this village were silent for a while, then some burst into screams, some cursed while laughing and crying, some were in a daze, saying they couldn't live anymore, cursing the devil, saying they were also devils and acting crazy.
Qin Chaoyan stared at the situation in the room. Even after hearing Shen An's words, no matter how the people around her reacted, she stood there, staring at the situation in the room.
Her stomach churned, but Qin Chaoyan did not move. Suddenly, perhaps because the noise in the yard was too loud or the smell of blood was too strong, she turned around abruptly and stared straight at Xu Huasheng.
When she looked at him, Xu Huasheng, who was trembling with cold sweat on his forehead but still managed to hold on, collapsed to the ground.
"Gousheng's father!" Gousheng's mother shouted and rushed over to pull him up, but she couldn't. She looked around and didn't want to waste her energy anymore, so she also collapsed to the ground.
"In the pottery jar..." Qin Chaoyan closed her eyes, hiding all her emotions, looking at Xu Huasheng and the others, looking at everyone in the yard.
She asked, "This isn't the first time this has happened, is it? Has this kind of thing always happened in your village? Shugen and the others, Shugen is the man who died inside, who do you mean by 'them' here?"
"They did it, did you? Did you do it?"
"Have you reported what happened here to the police?"
"Where are the other people in your village? It's so noisy here, isn't there anyone coming to take a look?"
The moment Qin Chaoyan opened her mouth, everyone in the yard fell silent. Her series of questions made everyone in the village even more silent, not even daring to cry.
Xu Huasheng struggled to his knees, his head hitting the dirt, and he cried like a trapped beast.
Seeing his appearance, Gousheng's mother pursed her lips tightly and knelt beside him.
Seeing what the couple did, all the villagers in the yard knelt down and shouted that they were guilty.
From Xu Huasheng, Qin Chaoyan and the others learned that this was Changle Village.
Changle Village originally had 58 households. When the drought began, elderly people began to die one after another. Later, more than 20 households in the village died, and the population dropped from more than 300 to more than 100.
Last year, conditions in the village were a bit difficult, but the villagers helped each other and held on, so they were able to survive.
Until, until the nephew of Li Ergou from the village came to seek refuge.
The villagers began to see the evil deeds of evil people in the disaster years. Less than half a month after Li Ergou's nephew came to the village, Li Ergou's mother died of illness.
Then, one after another, Li Ergou's family, Li Ergou, and Li Ergou's youngest son, the entire family of four died.
Then, people in the families of those who were good friends with Li Ergou’s nephew Li Jian began to die.
In years of famine, death is not uncommon.
But gradually, some people noticed something fishy, especially those who had died in their family, they didn't look sad at all, and even looked a little happy.
When the overall environment is bad, family members die one after another. As a living person, you will only feel numb, so how can you feel happy?
In particular, the woman who lived next to them was very hungry at night, so she got up to eat Guanyin soil and actually smelled the aroma of meat.
These days, there’s not even hay roots to eat, so where does the meat come from?
Gradually, the people in the village discovered the clues. This group of people, this group of people, were actually led by this bastard Li Jian to eat meat, human flesh.
However, the village chief Xu Huasheng, as well as the elders and clan elders in the village, could not change their temper, no matter how they preached, beat or scolded them.
So, Xu Huasheng wanted to drive these people out of the village and report it to the police. On the same day, Tian Ya from Xu Huasheng's family was killed. The mothers of those people who were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to report to the police were all killed by this group of people. Their bodies were stomped into pieces and placed in front of them.
They threatened that if anyone dared to expose this matter, none of them would be alive. They were no longer afraid.
At that moment, they were scared. In the past two years, every household in Changle Village would lock their doors whenever they went out, and children and the elderly at home were not allowed to go out.
Later, the crops in the fields failed completely and there was no food. The relief grain from the imperial court was delayed in distribution, and even if it was distributed, it was not enough for the family to survive.
The group led by Li Jian has grown in size. Up to now, there are only a dozen households in this yard left in Changle Village who are still trying hard not to go along with the corrupt people.
Li Jian and his friends don't often stay in the village. There are people in several nearby villages and places for them to stay. The mountains, the wild, and the nearest town are all their spots.
The meat in the pottery jar should be Sanya's. When Sanya's mother couldn't find Sanya last night, she went a little crazy and had a quarrel with Shugen. Shugen didn't care and said that it didn't matter as long as the girl died, it was enough for them to survive.
……
Qin Chaoyan closed her eyes. There was moisture in her eyes, but more than that, there was anger, gushing anger.
She looked at the group of people in front of her. Were they wrong? They were wrong! Were they innocent? Perhaps they were innocent and pitiful!
But what about those who died?
