At this point, the picture suddenly went dark, just like the end of a movie, and all the images finally came to an end.

But the hearts of all those who have seen these videos cannot calm down after the video ends.

Especially Jiang Xingfa and the four of them, their faces were even uglier than the rotting corpse of the old landlord.

Niu Yi didn't know how to read words and expressions, and murmured in a trembling voice: "Then the meat we've been eating...couldn't it...grow from that granddaughter, right?"

Before he finished speaking, Weng Ying, who was on the verge of collapse, shouted, "Shut up!"

You Shiting looked at their distressed appearance, gloated and said, "That's why I asked you to go around the village more. To tell you the truth, this village doesn't even have a mouse, and there are no edible animals!"

"Ouch—" Miao Xiaoxiao, the most timid of all, couldn't help it first, covered his mouth and rushed to the yard to vomit, and the next second Weng Ying and Niu Yi also went.

Even Jiang Xingfa, who had the best temper among several people, had a pale face and asked in a trembling voice: "Did you know it from the beginning?"

"No, we didn't know at first." Ke Xu said.

"I don't know why you have never touched that meat?!" Jiang Xingfa couldn't help but growl: "You know you can't eat it, why didn't you stop us?!"

Ke Xu stared at him with icy eyes, and asked back: "If I stop you, won't you eat it?"

They wouldn't, just like when Ke Xu asked them to go to the village to collect clues, they didn't listen, but they still hated these three people who seemed to have seen everything, but never said anything.

Jiang Xingfa felt that they were like three aloof gods, watching other people make mistakes indifferently like ants, in order to show their wisdom and wisdom, and feel complacent.

Ke Xu ignored them, and turned to Ning Zishan to find a shovel in the tool room, then walked to the screen wall where his granddaughter had been staring at the open space, tapped a spot with his toe and said, "Dig."

Ning Zishan waved the shovel and began to dig towards that piece. The first shovel had just been inserted not too deep, when Ning Zishan felt something hard on the ground blocking his downward force.

Ning Zishan looked back at Ke Xu, then dug open the land, and saw a piece of red cloth, which was torn by the blade of the shovel, exposing a golden semicircle inside.

Ke Xu squatted down, and together with Ning Zishan, he dug out the whole piece of red cloth with his hands, and when he opened it, he found a head inside!

The head was also shriveled and shriveled, and the surface was painted with a layer of gold paint, but it couldn't hide the painful and hideous expression on its face.

You Shiting stood behind the two, bent over and said, "This is the head of the golden body in the ancestral hall."

Jiang Xingfa and the others also stood watching from a distance. Although they could not understand the conversations, although they hated Ke Xu in their hearts, they had reached this point. They had no time to re-investigate the clues of the mission. Only by relying on Ke Xu and the others could it be possible. There is a silver lining.

"It seems that the granddaughter can't enter the yard because this is buried in the ground." Ning Zishan guessed: "So the other bones thrown on Jin's body were also taken away by the villagers, so as long as they don't go out at night, the granddaughter can't either. into their house."

Ke Xu wrapped up the head, put it back into the pit, and said to Ning Zishan: "Bury it back first, in case the granddaughter comes again tonight, she can enter the yard without the protection of the head, and we will be in danger then."

Ning Zishan nodded, filled the soil again and buried his head back.

After burying, Ke Xu patted the soil on his hands and said to Ning Zishan, "Go, go back to sleep, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

After returning to the room, Ning Zishan was a little disappointed: "It seems that we guessed wrong, the meat was not grown from the meat taken away from the granddaughter, so what are they going to do with the meat taken away from the granddaughter?"

Ke Xu glanced at him: "Haven't you ever thought that maybe we are 'seeds'?"

Ning Zishan looked at him in shock when he heard the words, his mouth was slightly opened, and he blinked slowly after a while.

If they were 'seeds', then why the villagers were so enthusiastic about them, why they sent people to monitor them, and why they gave them the little leftover meat to eat, it all made sense.

"I see." Ning Zishan suddenly realized: "The first day I came here, I saw the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village discussing something. Now that I think about it, what they were discussing at that time must be who will be used for this celebration. When we came to be the 'seeds', but at this moment, we came, like rain after a long drought, so the villagers were so excited when they saw us."

Ke Xu snorted: "But this time their wishful thinking will come to nothing."

Ning Zishan thought for a while, then asked doubtfully, "Where did the corpse of the old landlord go? Could it be that there is a 'meat growing base' in the village?"

Ke Xu said quietly: "Maybe she was taken to make a golden body."

"You mean that the enshrined golden body we saw in the ancestral hall is the old landlord?" Ning Zishan said incredulously, "But if he is really the old landlord, then why would he help the villagers stop his granddaughter? Doesn't he want to take revenge? "

Ke Xu said: "I'm afraid only they themselves know about this."

"Then shall we go tomorrow?" Ning Zishan asked.

Ke Xu asked back, "Where are you going?"

Ning Zishan looked at him with a "just pretend" look: "Of course I went to that thatched cottage, do you think I didn't see you flirting with your granddaughter secretly?"

Ke Xu: "..." No, why does this sound weird?

The next morning, the villagers who delivered the meals came in humming, with puffy faces and weird tunes.

You Shiting deliberately asked him: "Brother, you are in a good mood today, did something good happen?"

The young man who delivered the food put the meat and rice on the table, and said cheerfully: "The celebration will be held tonight. After tonight, we won't have to starve for a while!"

"Then can we participate? The celebration." You Shiting asked again.

"Of course." The young man's smile became strange: "All of us in the village will welcome you."

"That's great!" You Shiting deliberately pretended not to notice, and said happily: "When and where will the celebration be held? We should go there as soon as possible."

"Someone will pick it up when the time comes." The young man said, "You just have to wait in the yard."

After the young man finished speaking, he put down the meal and left. The pink and tender meat slices still exuded an attractive aroma, but Ning Zishan let alone eating meat now, just looking at it makes him feel headache, stomachache and body pain, and his mind is full of yesterday The situation seen in the cellar.

As for Jiang Xingfa and the four of them, Ning Zishan could tell that they were struggling with their appetite, one or two were staring straight at the meat in the bowl, their eyes turned red.

But in the end they still couldn't resist the temptation of meat, just like addicts who are addicted to drugs, even if they know it is fatal, they can't help but want to ingest it.

Niu Yi was the first to do it.

"I can't help it!" He yelled in pain, then put his hand into the meat bowl in despair, grabbed the meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The moment he ate the meat, he felt that he was Even the strands of hair feel extremely satisfied, this is a sense of satisfaction that he has never experienced before, and it is enough to make people sink.

Once someone eats it, the aroma of the meat will be magnified several times, and eventually other people can't control it and join the ranks of eating meat.

This is a drug that cannot be quit, Ning Zishan thought regretfully.

Ke Xu looked at their crazy and ugly appearance with empty eyes, turned his face expressionlessly, and beckoned Ning Zishan to leave the dining room.

You Shiting chased up from behind: "Let's go together?"

Ke Xu nodded, and the three of them entered the backyard together.

After climbing out of the courtyard wall, he walked straight towards the thatched cottage.

This is really a dilapidated thatched house, many places have collapsed, and the furnishings in the house are also very simple, only some necessary daily necessities.

Because of the heavy rain the day before yesterday, there was an indescribable strange smell in the house. Some rotten wooden furniture had been soaked in rainwater, and scum fell off when touched.

The three of them rummaged through the house for useful clues. Ning Zishan walked to the bed. It was a simple thin plank bed. Due to the heavy rain the day before yesterday, the thin bedding on the bed was soaked, with grayish-white mildew clinging to it. The flowers are still not dry yet.

Under the quilt, which was so dirty that its original color could not be seen, Ning Zishan found a suspicious bulge.

So he lifted the quilt with his hands, and was startled by the sudden appearance of a black-brown corpse under the quilt.

To be precise, it should be a black-brown skeleton with no flesh except the head and neck. It is the same as Aunt Huang and Ren Daoyi's death. .

Seeing his movements, Ke Xu moved closer: "It looks like he's been dead for a long time. My granddaughter killed him and covered him with a quilt. It's very considerate."

Ning Zishan murmured, and then sharply noticed that there was a sharp corner protruding from under the hay pillow on which the mummy was resting. It looked like a book.

"Ke Xu." Ning Zishan tugged at his sleeve.

Apparently Ke Xu saw it too, he didn't care about the black skeleton on the bed, he just reached out and pinched the corner, and pulled out the thing that was under it.

Only then did Ning Zishan realize that this was not a book, but a notebook.

"Did you find anything?" You Shiting walked towards the two of them after digging through the rest of the thatched cottage, "Could it be that the granddaughter didn't mean this place? Did you find anything?"

You Shiting was also taken aback when she saw the skeleton on the bed.

Ke Xu shook the notebook in his hand at her, tilted his head and said, "Go, go out and read."

The three of them walked out of the house, the sun shone on their bodies, and it was warm, dispelling the damp chill brought out from the thatched hut.

Because it has been pressed under the pillow, the notebook is not too wet from the rain, but it still has the musty smell of paper soaked in water.

Ke Xu opened the notebook and said in surprise, "It looks like a diary."

It must have been soaked by rain before, and the words on the first few pages of the diary were all smeared into a ball, and nothing could be read.

Ke Xu flipped back again, and finally some legible handwriting appeared.

"September [-]th." Ke Xu read softly: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, but there is no festive atmosphere in the village at all. How can anyone think about celebrating a festival when they can't even eat enough? ? Yes, we are facing a catastrophe of life and death - famine."
