Chapter 2168

"impossible?

Dou Sprout looked panicked at this time and shouted: "How could this happen! Who the hell did this!"

Looking around with his head squinted, he turned to me and asked: "Yunfeng, when you were burying the soil, did you see any suspicious people?"

"No! Except...except for the farmer!"

"Something's wrong...if the farmer found something, then there's no need to dig him out, right?"

Just one night later, not only was the old woman Xu Zhaodi's body gone, but Yang Jun's body was also gone! There was only a big empty pottery jar left in the pit!

"Come here and take a look!" At this time, Brother Yu's voice came from the front.

We hurried over and Brother Yu pointed to the ground.

It rained in the mountains the day before yesterday. Since it is close to the woods and the sunlight is not strong, the ground here is still a little wet. We can clearly see that there are traces of something dragging on the ground.

There was also a row of strange footprints on the ground, which seemed to be human footprints, but after looking closer, I felt it didn't look like it, because the footprints were too wide. Without shoes, they might have been more than 20 centimeters wide!

Xiaoxuan asked doubtfully: "Last night, could a wild dog or bear from the mountains come over and drag the body away and eat it?"

I shook my head: "It's impossible for wild dogs. How can wild dogs have such big feet? As for wild bears, it's impossible! For hundreds of years, there have been no bears near Xisai Mountain!"

With his head and brows furrowed, he squatted on the ground and stared blankly at the strange footprints.

I asked the chief what he had found.

Still raising his head knowingly, he frowned and said: "It's not a dog, it's not a human, it's not a bear. This should be done by a badger with human feet."

"What is a human-footed badger? Is it a wild badger??" Dou Sprout asked curiously.

He stood up and said: "It is a rare animal that likes to make its nest in ancient tombs. I have seen this thing in a tomb before. Some badgers have lived in tombs for a long time and will learn to imitate people. They look like they are walking upright. They eat rats, poisonous snakes and other things in the tomb. If it is a new tomb, they may also open the coffin and eat the dead person."

"It's very abnormal. The human-footed badger is a burrowing animal. Although it is very ferocious, this thing is usually timid and rarely comes out to look for food so arrogantly. Something must have attracted it here."

After listening to what Tou said, I frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Tou, could it be the smell in the big tank that attracted the human-footed badger here?"

He nodded: "It's possible. The top priority now is to find the body. Even if it was disemboweled, we still have to find it!"

I understand what it means.

There are two reasons. One is that he agreed to the old woman's last wish, which was out of love.

Second, there are many farmers in the mountains during the day. It would be a bad thing if these people saw the body. This is reasonable, so we must try our best to look for it regardless of circumstances or reasons.

Folks say that it is a taboo for corpses to be damaged before the first seven days if they are not buried properly. In the past, people who were beheaded had to ask someone to perform rituals before they dared to enter the coffin before being buried. Otherwise, it would easily lead to disaster.

As for what exactly this "disaster" is, everyone agrees.

at this time,

Suddenly, the black cat emerged from the woods.

It meows at us! The tail keeps wagging, I don’t know what it means.

Xiaoxuan squatted down and said, "You mean, you want to take us to find it?"

The black cat turned around and headed towards the woods, and we followed closely behind the black cat.

It was still just seven o'clock in the morning. When a group of us walked deep into the woods, there was a light mist around us.
