Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 26 Cannibalism
"This story is mentioned in "Blue Lake Notes" and "Fengting Records"-oh, at that time we had a county magistrate who retired from his old age and returned to his hometown. He called himself Blue Lake Layman and wrote a book called The local experience record of Lanhu Notes is not well-known, and only people like me are interested in reading it. The same is true for the Fengting record, which was written by an old man who called himself Mr. Fengting.

The records in the two books are slightly different, but the overall context is the same. "

Lu Qingliang and He Wei listened more seriously.

"It is said that at that time, there was a poor boy in our area. This boy was poor. He had no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters. He sneaked around all day long, or went to the mountains to find some medicinal materials, hunt for prey and other things in exchange for money to maintain his life.

One day, the poor boy and a friend who was also a poor boy went hunting together in the mountains.But after four or five days, he did not come back.

It is common for hunters in the mountains to go hunting in the mountains and not come back for several days.Besides, these two people are bastards, not very popular, and no one pays attention to them.

It has been like this for more than ten days, and the two of them have not come back.The villagers all commented that there may have been an accident, or fell into a cliff, or was eaten by a beast.

The villagers are not only not sad, but feel glad that there are no more disasters in the village.

But the good times didn't last long, and a few days later, the poor boy came back again, but he was the only one who came back.

According to what he said, the two of them encountered a beast in the mountains and lost their way while escaping.When looking for the way, his companion accidentally fell into the cliff and died. Only he came back with a life.

This kind of thing was considered common in that era, and no one doubted it.

But after this incident, for some reason, this poor boy suddenly became rich.His family built a big house, bought land, went to the county town to buy fabrics, and recruited tenants, and became a landlord in all seriousness.

Some people wondered where his money came from, but the poor boy kept his mouth shut all along, only saying that he was lucky and got a reward from the county officials.

After a long time, there were rumors that this kid picked up money in the mountains.The companion who didn't come back was probably killed by him, and he stole the money himself.It is also said that they found thousands of years of ginseng, ten thousand years of poria cocos, etc., they have everything.

In short, this kid is rich and has become a landlord.

But this kid likes to gamble.I used to gamble when I was a poor boy, but now that I have money, I gamble even more.Not long after, the house and land were all sold out.The marriage that was just negotiated was also blown.This boy became a poor boy again.

At that time, there was a fool in the village who was foolish all day long. One day, the fool suddenly disappeared.

The family began to look for it, but they couldn't find it.It was later discovered that the poor boy had also disappeared.

At that time, people did not think of these two things together.

Later, the poor boy came back again.When I came back this time, I actually had money again.The land, the house and the like are back again.The villagers went to inquire, and the poor boy said that he met a noble person or something.

This time the villagers were a little suspicious.If you picked up money in the mountains and found some rare medicinal materials, it would be a big deal if you encountered such a thing once, how could it happen twice in a row?

But I couldn't find out anything, so I slowly let this matter go.

This time the poor boy became honest, he stopped gambling, built a house, bought land, asked for a wife, and lived an honest life.

It was the daughter-in-law he begged for, with a loose mouth.Once when I was chatting with the eldest girl and the daughter-in-law in the village, I slipped my mouth. It turned out that this poor boy was sleeping one day, talking in his sleep, and yelling something like 'Grandfather of the Mountain God'.

He does not mean that.

Later, the villagers began to spread that this poor boy did not go into the mountains to pick up money or find some medicinal materials, but met the mountain god grandfather.His companion who disappeared at the beginning, and the idiot who disappeared in the village later, were all tied up by this boy and sacrificed to the mountain god grandfather in exchange for money, so that they have money. "

Hearing this, Lu Qingliang's heart was shocked again.

The change in the image of the local mountain god is closely related to the age of the ancestor identified by genetic tracing.

In the story, it is rumored that the poor boy kidnapped people and offered sacrifices to the mountain gods in exchange for money, which caused the disappearance of the population.

and……

The X organization is also constantly abducting people with the Hag.1 gene through various magical means.

Organization X, the sculpture in Sun Yong's secret room, the image highly overlaps with the image of the local mountain god.

Lu Qingliang and He Wei looked at each other, and both of them saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes.

At this moment, what Huang Weimin was talking about was the time to rise.He picked up a piece of duck meat, gnawed off the meat in a few mouthfuls, spit out the bones, picked up the wine glass and drank it dry in one gulp, savored it for a while, and began to narrate again.

He Wei hurriedly picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for him.

"It was rumored in the village at the time, but no one had evidence. The family of the missing idiot also wanted to find trouble with this kid, but in the end they couldn't find it.

This matter gradually disappeared.The days went on like that, and this poor boy also had a child, a boy, clever and cute, according to Blue Lake Notes, the boy could recite poems at the age of three, write at the age of five, and became a well-known child prodigy.Mr. Feng Ting, an old Juren, even went to the school to pass the child's exam, and he was full of praise when he came back.

The poor boy's family is also rich, and if he has such a good child, he doesn't pamper him desperately. He also specially invites a teacher to come to teach the child the Four Books and Five Classics, and prepares to take the imperial examination, become a high official, and glorify his family.

In a blink of an eye, the child will be a teenager, and it is time to take the Tongsheng Examination—oh, the first pass of the imperial examination.

At that time, the child had already gained some fame, and even his teacher said that there would be no problem in passing the child's examination.

But at this juncture, the child fell ill.

The child had a big sore on his back. At first it was the size of a soybean, and later it was the size of a jujube. In five days, it grew to the size of a fist.Red and swollen, the sore child cried all day long.The pain lasted for two days, and I developed a high fever, which made people feel dizzy from the fever and seemed to be dying.

Just such a precious pimple, this kid became so ruthless, he spent all his family's wealth, and even invited famous doctors from the county to treat him.But no matter where the famous doctor came from, he just took a look at it, then shook his head and left, saying that he couldn't be cured, and asked the boy to prepare for the child's funeral.

This kid begged thousands of times, begged a famous doctor to prescribe a temporary prescription, took the medicine, and then said that he would ask the famous doctor in the mansion to come and treat him.

At this moment, people started to disappear again in the village where this kid was and several surrounding villages.The day after this boy left, a child was lost in the nearby village, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.Three days later, a middle-aged man drank at a relative's house, bid farewell to the host's house, and went home to sleep. He also disappeared after leaving.

The third person was a woman, she got up early in the morning and said she was going to the market, but she never came back.

The continuous disappearance is panic.

Later, the boy finally came back and said that he had sought life-saving medicine from a famous doctor.

Hey, strange to say.With one dose of medicine, the child's fever subsided, after two doses of medicine, the child's big sores turned into small sores, after three doses of medicine, the child got out of bed, could eat and drink, and his face was rosy. , Seeing healed.

What's even more strange is that since this kid returned home, there has been no missing person in the surrounding villages.

So there was a legend again, saying that this boy tied three people and sacrificed them to the mountain god. Three people and three doses of medicine saved the child's life. "

Lu Qingliang listened silently, an idea popped up in his mind irresistibly.

If the "mountain god" in the story is the one worshiped by the X organization, and the purpose of the X organization to kidnap people is to "sacrifice" to the mountain god for some kind of benefit, just like the poor boy in the story, then ...

The three doses of medicine for the poor boy in the story may not be the reason for the three people being tied up.Rather, among the three individuals, only the last one has the Hag.1 gene.

The first two people do not have this gene, and it is useless to sacrifice to the mountain god.

In ancient times, there was no genetic testing technology, and poor boys could only try their luck by kidnapping more people.

Of course, Lu Qingliang knew that this was just his own thoughts and conjectures.There are still too many unknowns at this moment, and Huang Weimin's story is not finished yet.

"The three families of the missing person refused to give up. They joined forces to find the poor boy to ask for an explanation, and even reported it to the government. But there was no evidence for this kind of thing. Maybe it was money collected. The county government's statement was nonsense. Later It's over.

Later, it was replaced by this kid who got sick himself.The blue lake notes said it was a headache, and the Fengting record said it was a fire sore. In short, it couldn't be cured, and it hurt so badly that people who hurt would want to die.This time, he said that he would go to the mansion to find a famous doctor for treatment.

This time, every household in the nearby ten miles and eight villages was more careful.It doesn't matter if you are careful, the next night, a thief who stole a child was caught in the village.I lit a torch and looked, hey, this is the poor boy who claimed to go to the mansion to seek medical treatment!
It's going to be terrible now, all the previous things have been turned out, and even the county has sent people to arrest people.Those families who were missing were even more excited and wanted to rush up and beat him to death.Fortunately, there were Yamen servants, so they were not killed.But I can't take him away for the time being, so I can only ask questions in court.

This trick is easy to fight, this kid can't stand it, so he can only do it all.

He said that he did meet a mountain god in the mountains. If the mountain god wants to eat people, he will give benefits to others.I made a fortune twice before, and treated my children, all of which were given to the mountain god for food and money and medicine.This time, I was so sick that I couldn't stand it, and wanted to give the mountain god another person to eat, and ask for some medicine to cure the disease.Unexpectedly, every household in the ten miles and eight villages was more careful, and in addition to his illness, he was unable to move smoothly, so he was caught by mistake.

The yamen servants continued to fight, and the sufferers of several families refused to give up. They continued to ask why they chose their own family.At this time, the boy confessed again, saying that the mountain god didn't eat everyone, and he didn't eat anyone with hairless or short hair.Even if you have a lot of hair, you are only willing to eat one in a few miles. "

Lu Qingliang's eyes suddenly widened.

hair?
