When the woman was mentioned, the fourth uncle's eyes became complicated, filled with resentment and fear.
"When those young men first brought the girl back, she had disheveled hair, ragged clothes, and a disgusting stench of mud all over her body. Her face was even covered with dense blood scabs, making her as ugly as a ghost.
Under the doctor's treatment, the woman's life was saved, but she could not remember her name or identity, and she did not know why she was injured in the back mountain.
The fifth aunt, who was childless and widowed early in life, was kind-hearted and kindly took the girl in, treating her like her own daughter. Under the careful care of the fifth aunt, not only did the woman's body recover after a month, but all the scars on her face miraculously disappeared, and her original appearance was restored. "
There were some changes in the eyes of the fourth uncle. The resentment and fear faded away and were replaced by fascination.
"That woman is incredibly beautiful, just like the most beautiful fairy in the legend. Everyone in the town, from the twilight old man to the ignorant young child, not to mention the young and vigorous young people, is fascinated by her. I am so intoxicated by my beauty that I don’t even think about food or tea after not seeing her for half a day.
And she is also extremely considerate. No matter how depressed, sad, angry or violent your mood is, you will become calm and like a spring breeze after talking to her.
Some bold young men in the town found a matchmaker and went to the fifth aunt's house to propose marriage. After all, the fifth aunt was not the woman's biological mother, so she couldn't make the decision for her, so she asked the woman what she wanted. The woman smiled but did not answer. She neither refused nor nodded in agreement.
In this way, those who have come to seek marriage feel that they still have a chance, and those who have not yet come to seek marriage also want to fight for the opportunity. For a while, the matchmakers in the town are very busy.
But even though all the unmarried young men in the town had lined up in front of the fifth aunt's house, the woman still neither nodded nor shook her head.
Gradually, the young people lost their temper and became more and more irritable. Until one day, the two young men had a quarrel and then a fight. Then more and more young people joined the fighting group, and dozens of them fought in front of the fifth aunt's house.
You must know that many of those younger generations are related to each other, and some are even brothers, uncles and nephews. But everyone went crazy, with red eyes, bared teeth, breathing heavily, and punching and kicking their relatives.
When the village chief and clan elders heard the news and rushed to shout the disciples away, it was too late. Four of the disciples were beaten to death. The state of death... was so horrific that even thinking about it still makes my heart palpitate.
The mothers of the four hugged the mutilated bodies of their children and almost cried to death on the spot. After they had dried up their tears and could no longer cry anymore, they vented their anger at the loss of their son on the woman.
They blocked the door of the fifth aunt's house and yelled that the woman was a mourning star, a seductive vixen, and that they wanted to immerse her in a pig cage to avenge her lost son.
Other women in the town had long disliked women and were worried that their husbands would be seduced by women, so all the women in the town broke into the fifth aunt's house, dragged the woman out, tore her clothes, insulted and beat her wantonly.
The fifth aunt was heartbroken and the woman stepped forward to stop him, but she also ended up being beaten together.
Those women have gone crazy too!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the village chief and the clan elders decided to drive the women out of the town after discussion. This barely calmed down the women's anger. But who knows... Alas! "
The fourth uncle stopped talking, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and two old muddy tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
"The village chief and the clan elders lied. It turned out that they had been coveting the woman for a long time, but they didn't dare to show it because of their status. The result of their discussion was not to drive the woman out of the town, but to send her to the rear. The mountain was secretly detained for them to enjoy.
At first there were only the village chief, a few clan elders and two men who were guarding the women. But a clan elder accidentally let it slip one time while drunk, and the news spread among the men in the town.
From then on, the woman became the plaything of the men in the town and died soon after.
On the second day after the woman's death, the village chief and three clan elders suddenly went crazy. They bit everyone in sight like hungry mad dogs, drank blood, ate meat, broke bones and sucked marrow. Their strength was frightening. More than 20 strong men None of them were able to subdue the four of them. In order to protect themselves, the townspeople finally had no choice but to shoot them with hunting bows.
Who knew this was just the beginning of the nightmare!
More and more men in the town began to turn into monsters. They would first target women and children, and then the men who had not turned into monsters would sometimes kill each other.
Some people once tried to escape from the town, but they would faint inexplicably when they walked out of the archway at the entrance of the town, and became the prey of monsters.
The townspeople had no choice but to kill their loved ones who had turned into monsters, but some people would still turn into new monsters the next day.
Only then did the townspeople realize that everyone in the town was cursed.
That woman is the spirit of Grandpa Mountain God, who punishes the townspeople for trespassing in the back mountain.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer women and children in the town, but more and more monsters, the village doctor came up with a way to stuff the moonlight grass growing on the cliff behind the mountain into the corpses to trick the monsters into eating them.
People who eat moonlight grass will become confused and will believe whatever others say. With the help of Moonlight Grass, the doctor made the monsters change back to their previous appearance, but they never remembered the woman and what happened after she appeared.
Although the monster no longer loves humans, it does not eat ordinary food. After a few days of this, a monster finally couldn't stand its hunger, and the tragic thing happened again.
The doctor had no choice but to feed them moonlight grass again. These monsters are not resistant to moonlight grass, and they will no longer bite the townspeople after they are full.
There are still men turning into new monsters every day in the town, and the doctor cannot keep an eye on them all day and night. Every time a new monster is discovered and rushed away, several women and children are often killed.
Some women in the town could not bear the torment of fear and took their children with them to commit suicide. The remaining people can only live in fear, living day by day.
After more than 40 years, the town has become what it is now. "
After telling the whole story, the fourth uncle's figure became more and more stooped, and his demeanor became more and more old.
Rong Fei kept listening carefully and asked after pondering for a while after listening to the story.
"Is this year your father-in-law?"
"Nine out of forty."
The fourth uncle counted on his fingers.
The old man has a stooped figure, white beard and hair, wrinkles on his face, and dots of age spots. Anyone who looks at him would think he is in his 70s.
The fourth uncle seemed to have guessed Rong Fei's doubts and grinned bitterly.
"Do you think that the old fool calculated your age wrongly? Hahaha, you are not wrong. Anyone who faces these monster-like relatives all day and night will be like a little old man. He is really exhausted mentally and physically. Sometimes I think about dying, but I can’t bear them turning into monsters again. I can only grit my teeth and support until they are gone, so that I can close my eyes in peace."
"But I have a question."
Rong Fei said.
"Why are you okay, daddy?"
"This little old man doesn't know either. Maybe it's because I buried the woman with my own hands. After the woman died, her body was abandoned in the forest behind the mountain and no one paid attention to it. Although I was still young at that time, I had a crush on women. He had a good impression. He couldn't bear to see her body exposed in the wilderness, so he buried the woman's body under the cliff without telling the people in the town. And because he didn't know the woman's name, he could only set up an unmarked tombstone in front of the grave.
The people in the town realized that Grandpa Mountain God was angry and did not dare to enter the back mountain again. However, the doctor went there once to pick moongrass, and I don't know if he has seen the woman's grave and the inscriptionless monument. Because he did not dare to enter the back mountain, the doctor planted moonlight grass in the town, and now it has covered the entire town. "
"Well, that's quite reasonable."
Rong Fei held his chin with his right hand and nodded.
"Xian Chai seems to still doubt the little old man's words! The little old man dares to swear to God that he will never lie. Otherwise, the sky will strike with thunder and he will not be able to rebirth after death."
Seeing Rong Fei's expression, the fourth uncle raised his finger and said sworn to heaven.
"If an oath is useful, why do you need us detectives? If you want me to believe you, just show me evidence... Hey, who are you?"
Rong Fei suddenly pointed behind his fourth uncle and shouted.
The routine is very old-fashioned, but it works really well.
The fourth uncle quickly looked back, but there was no one behind him.
"Could it be that Xian Chai was dazzled by what he saw? There's someone somewhere... uh uh..."
As soon as the fourth uncle turned around, Rong Fei stretched out his left hand to cover his mouth and nose.
The fourth uncle was inexplicably frightened, thinking that Rong Fei's ferocious lust was not good for him. He was about to pick up a walking stick to fight back, but he smelled a cool and refreshing smell at the end of his nose.
It stands to reason that after smelling this refreshing fragrance, people should feel happy and refreshed. But after the fourth uncle heard about it, his eyes gradually became dull and his body began to tremble slightly.
The medicinal effect of Qingling Powder began to take effect.
When the fourth uncle told the story, Rong Fei felt something was wrong.
The whole incident was told in such detail that basically no detail was left out. The cause, process, result, all events happened as if he was watching from the sidelines.
What he told did not sound like real things that happened in the town, but more like he was recounting novels he had read or stories he had heard.
The whole process is from God's perspective, unless the fourth uncle also has clairvoyance and ears.
Another point is that Rong Fei believes that people will have gray hair overnight under certain extreme emotions, but it is a bit excessive to have age spots appear at the same time.
Based on these two doubts, Rong Fei concluded that his fourth uncle was also confused, so he tried it with Qingling Powder applied on the palm of his left hand.
Seeing the look of his fourth uncle, Rong Fei knew that his guess was correct. The old man had indeed been deceived, and what he just said about the woman was probably false.
After waiting quietly for a while, the expression on the old man's face began to change rapidly.
The fourth uncle's eyes gradually changed. When he regained his clarity, he first stared at Rong Fei who was sitting across from him in confusion for a few times, then turned his head and glanced around, suddenly stood up, took a few steps back, and pointed at Rong Fei. shouted in horror.
"Ah! You...who are you? Where is this?"
