The villagers around all looked sad.

It can be seen that the old village chief holds a very high status in their hearts.

Some villagers even took the initiative to bring their own coffins over to help bury the old village chief.

Jiao Chong'e said to Chen Mu and the others, "Let's go in and take a look. The old village chief's body must still be there. From the body, we can also see the cannibal's murder method."

Chen Mu nodded in agreement, and several people walked through the crowd and entered the old village chief's yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Mu smelled a bloody smell.

In the area where the villagers gathered the most, they gathered around the outside and formed a circle.

Chen Mu and his companions squeezed into the crowd and saw a pile of scattered bones inside the circle!

The bones were still wearing clothes, and they were the old village chief's clothes.

But all the flesh on the bones had been eaten away.

No, it cannot even be said to be gnawing, because there was not a trace of meat on the eerie white bones, all of them were eaten up by the man-eating monster.

Jiao Chong'e half squatted down and examined the bones.

The bones were very fresh, indicating that the person had died not long ago, and their height was very similar to that of the old village chief. It must be the old village chief's body.

Jiao Chonge pointed at the bones and said, "Look, the teeth of the man-eating monster are extraordinary.

If it is meat that is eaten by humans, there will be some residue on the bones. Even if it is meat that is chopped by a butcher in the market, there will inevitably be some meat residue on the bones.

But the old village chief's bones were completely free of flesh and were as smooth as porcelain.

The cannibal ghost will eat human flesh directly, sucking all the flesh off the bones, leaving nothing behind.

This is not a trace left by humans. Now we can be sure that the man-eating monster does exist and its killing methods are extremely cruel.

No wonder the word "evil" was added to the name of the weird mission. "

Chen Mu looked at the body of the old village chief, and the thing on his mind was the missing fat man.

When a cannibal kills a person, he will eat all the flesh, leaving only a skeleton.

If the fat man was also killed by the cannibal monster, then he should be able to stuff his bones out one by one through the gap in the door.

This would explain why the fat man disappeared out of thin air in the secret room.

wrong……

Chen Mu looked at the village chief's skeleton. The man-eating ghost had only eaten the meat, but the skeleton was still connected.

Although the gap in the door is as wide as a palm, it is not as long as a person.

In order to get the fat man's skeleton out, you have to disassemble the bones in the room and separate the skeleton into individual bones.

Anyone who has dissected a corpse knows that human bones are extremely hard, and there will be a loud noise when they are cut.

Even if you have never dismembered a corpse, if you have heard your mother chopping pork ribs, you will know how much noise it makes when you try to separate the bones.

Even if the cannibal had sharp teeth and could bite bones, the yard was so quiet at night that it would definitely make a lot of noise.

Chen Mu still hasn't figured out how the fat man disappeared.

But Chen Mu was very sure that the fat man was most likely dead, and was killed by the man-eating monster.

So far, Chen Mu only knows two things about the man-eating ghost:

1: Red veil + red shoes, the identity is suspected to be related to the bride;

2: The cannibalism methods were extremely cruel, leaving only bones.

In addition, there are currently no clear clues as to what conditions will trigger the man-eating ghost to kill people, and what methods can be used to avoid being killed.

Chen Mu speculated that being alone might be one of the triggering conditions.

Therefore, in subsequent actions, we should avoid being left alone.

The villagers have already started taking action to help the village chief deal with the aftermath.

Daohuaxiang Village has simple folk customs and close connections between people. If something happens to one family, other families will come to help.

Chen Mu and the others are outsiders, so it is not convenient for us to interfere here.

Now that the village chief is dead, Chen Mu and his companions are faced with a very realistic problem:

Next, how to solve the problem of eating?

Originally, the village chief was in charge of the meals for these five days, but now that he is dead, there is no one to take care of the meals.

In times of famine, the villagers could barely feed themselves, and no one could possibly take out precious brown rice and wild vegetables to feed a few strangers. That was too extravagant.

With no other options, Chen Mu and his companions had to return to the woodshed first.

Since we only ate wild vegetables and coarse grains last night, we got hungry quickly and everyone was already a little hungry.

When I returned to the yard, the old man in the woodshed had just finished chopping firewood and was sitting in the yard resting.

Seeing them coming back so quickly, the old man in the firewood room couldn't help but ask, "You're back so early? Didn't the village chief call you to eat?"

Jiao Chonge shook his head. "The village chief has passed away. He was killed by a cannibal last night."

Upon hearing that the village chief had died, the old man in the woodshed's hand trembled slightly.

He seemed to be in a trance, recalling past events.

After a long while, the old man came back to his senses and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his old mouth.

"Forget it, it's better to die. It's painful to live in this chaotic world." The old man waved to several players, "Come in with me, I'll give you food."

When they heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.

The old man in the firewood room was alone and poor, and was considered one of the poorer people in the village. How could he be so generous and take the initiative to provide meals for everyone?

Judging from this action alone, the old man in the firewood room is indeed a good man.

Now, everyone was very hungry. The non-meat dishes they had last night had long been digested, and now their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

The old man returned to his room, put the chopped firewood into the stove, and started to make a fire in his big pot to cook.

It’s called cooking, but in fact, it’s just a bunch of wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables eaten at the old man's house are of a lower quality than those used by the village chief for entertainment.

Chen Mu even saw that there were leaves mixed in with the wild vegetables.

As I said, in times of famine, it’s good to have a stutter.

Even so crude, there weren't many wild vegetables in the pot.

The pot is very big, but the wild vegetables inside are only enough for one person.

If Chen Mu guessed correctly, the kind old man in the firewood room should have taken out his own food and shared it with everyone.

As the fire was lit to cook, the bitter wild vegetables began to taste somewhat tempting.

The old man kept adding water to the pot and even added some bark chips.

"If I eat some wood foam, at least it can fill my stomach and keep me from feeling hungry." The old man muttered to himself.

In times of extreme food shortage, it became common practice to add bark chips to food or grind certain trees into powder to make cakes.

Everyone knows that it doesn’t provide much nutrition, but at least it can satisfy your hunger.

The feeling of hunger, especially the feeling of extreme hunger, will be unforgettable once you experience it.

The leaves and wild vegetables that were originally only enough for one person to eat were cooked into a big pot of porridge by the old man.

The old man only had one bowl, so everyone took turns using it. Each person drank a bowl of wild vegetable soup.

Although most of the hot soup is water after drinking it, at least the stomach is not empty.

After a quick meal, the players finally had the energy to think of ways to deal with the man-eating monster.
