Chapter 118 women’s Taoist priest
All the dogs in the village have eaten human flesh, and dogs who have eaten meat can no longer be vegetarians. From frugal to extravagant, it is easy to change from extravagant to frugal. This has been a very simple truth since ancient times. But sometimes, people just ignore this simple truth.
The villagers didn’t realize what had happened until the first dog pounced on the person.
That day, when a child was walking on the road, a dog rushed out of a family’s yard. The dog, which was almost bigger than the child, threw the child to the ground, and the sharp teeth pushed the child directly from behind. The child’s neck was pierced.
All the dogs smelled this wonderful **** and sweet smell.
The dogs barked and rushed out, and they rushed towards the child one after another. The child didn’t even have a chance to stand up. Seven or eight dogs surrounded the child, next to those puppies who couldn’t squeeze in.
The tragic cries and the barking of countless dogs finally caught the villagers’ attention.
The villagers saw a child who was not in the shape of a human from the crowd of dogs.
When the villagers dispersed the dogs, they saw a little child who was almost a bone. Dogs have always been friends of human beings, and dogs have never eaten people, but these villagers forced these dogs into wolves again. This is the first time a dog has eaten a villager, but it won’t be the last.
The villagers looked at the guard dogs lying in front of their houses, like demons in dog skins, and no one was sure that these dogs would never eat people again. Since there is no way to determine whether these dogs will eat people, eat them all.
This is how the world is. Either dogs eat people or people eat dogs.
But dogs are not such stupid animals, and after killing almost two-thirds of the dogs in the village, the rest of the dogs realized the change in the situation. The dogs howled and fled into the woods, and the villagers never saw the dogs again.
Later, the entire village no longer had dogs.
This is the story that Luo Yu’s grandfather told Luo Yu. In fact, the villagers all know the story of their own village. Until now, although the villagers can eat meat in every household, the habit of not raising dogs has been maintained.
Jiang He pondered while listening to Luo Yu’s story.
Could the dog that attacked him be the descendant of the dog that ate human flesh in the village before? The gene for cannibalism has been passed down from generation to generation? After simply thinking for a moment, Jiang He knew that this conclusion was unreliable. Jiang He had been in close contact with that dog, and that dog had eaten human flesh.
Cannibalism is not a difficult thing to understand, what is difficult to understand is where this dog ate human flesh.
“Is there really no one in the village who keeps dogs?” Jiang He asked.
“No.” Luo Yu shook his head.
“Then how did these dogs get here?” Jiang He asked as he walked forward, “Could it be that they are descendants of those dogs? You can hunt wolves, so these dogs can’t be killed, right?”
Facing Jiang He’s questioning, Luo Yu seemed impatient: “These dogs seem to be newcomers, they have never encountered them before.”
Jiang He wanted to ask more questions, but Luo Yu pointed to the front and said, “If you see the house in front of you, it’s the home of Taoist priest Gao.”
The flashlight illuminated the house in the distance. It was a small wooden hut on the hillside. Living in such a place, Jiang He even doubted whether there was an electric light here. Just looking at it from the outside, there is no light coming out of the house, the whole house is pitch-dark, and it looks like no one lives at all.
Luo Yu walked to the front of the hut in a few steps. After knocking on the door, there was no response at all.
“Master Gao, Master Gao!” Luo Yu shouted while knocking on the door: “The village is too chaotic now, and there are beasts and other things in the woods, we are here to pick you up, and you still come to live in the village recently. Bar.”
But there was still no sound inside, and Taoist Gao didn’t seem to be there.
“Master Gao! Master Gao!” Luo Yu shouted again: “If you are inside, promise, or we will go in, are you inside?”
After waiting for a while, there was still no sound.
Luo Yu and Jiang He looked at each other, Luo Yu took a few steps back, and then with one run, he kicked the door of Taoist Gao’s house open.
The flashlight shone in, and several people filed in.
This is a very small wooden house with only a single room inside, and the furnishings in the single room are also very simple. Next to the wall is a bed. There are simple quilts and bedding on the bed. At this moment, they are neatly folded. There is no trace of anyone lying on the bed. Next to the bed is a home-made table with a cup and a lunch box on it.
On the other side of the room was a large water tank, half of the water in the tank, and a scoop was floating in it.
Jiang He took a look at the room. There was no electric light on the ceiling, which meant that there was no electricity.
Wang Chao couldn’t understand how a person could live in such an environment.
“What is this!” Jiang He’s flashlight hit something, which surprised everyone.
Several people’s flashlights were shining on this thing, Jiang He walked up and squatted down.
“Isn’t this the machete you used?” Jiang He asked Luo Yu next to him.
Luo Yu nodded, also crouched down, and then carefully observed the machete.
Jiang He saw that it was exactly the same as the machete used by Orion, and there was blood on the blade of the machete. The blood had solidified at this moment, and it looked like it had been there for a long time. But Jiang He had no way of determining whether the blood belonged to humans or some other animal.
“This machete.” Luo Yu gently picked up the machete, then waved it a few times in the air, and said, “This machete seems to be the one I just lost.”
“Gangzi’s machete?” Jiang He looked at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu nodded and shook his head again, and said, “I’m not sure, we’d better go back and ask Gangzi.”
Jiang He nodded.
However, who this machete belongs to, this high Taoist priest is really suspicious. From the first time that Taoist Gao saw the members of the task force, the Taoist Gao saw that the members of the task force were not pleasing to the eye, and later tried to drive them away several times. Thinking about it now, could it be that these people obstructed the plan of this high Taoist priest?
“Do a good search.” This time it was Shao Lao who said: “It was not in the house in the middle of the night, and under such circumstances, it was a little too suspicious.”
What Shao Lao said was really good, and a few people began to look for it in this small room.
Soon, Wang Chao found a box under the bed, and the box contained some things that should not belong to the Taoist priest.
“Isn’t this a women’s clothing!” Wang Chao said.
Everyone turned back and found that Wang Chao was holding a skirt in his hand, and this thing was obviously only used by women. Then, Wang Chao took out one after another of women’s clothes from the box.
“The Taoist priest is married?” Jiang He asked.
“No.” Luo Yu shook his head and said, “Daoist Gao has lived here for a while, but I’ve never heard that Taoist Gao got married, or that Taoist Gao had any women.”
Wang Chao put the box on the ground, dragged his chin with his hand, and said while thinking: “Could it be that Taoist Gao made a ghost? Taoist Gao lives alone in this place, and it is very convenient to move. In such a possibility, the so-called curse was created by the high Taoist priest. He dressed in a woman’s skirt and pretended to be a ghost. He also told me about pretending to be a ghost before.”
“But why did he do this?” Luo Yu asked.
“Why do you do this?” Wang Chao scratched his cheeks, and after a while, he said, “Because he is a Taoist priest, he can only make money if he is haunted, so he must do this.”
Jiang He shook his head, denying Wang Chao’s words: “It really doesn’t make sense, money has no more use in this village, I’m 70% sure that if it was done by Taoist priest, he would definitely It will not be for money, if it is for money, he can leave this village completely.”
“By the way, Brother Luo, did Taoist priest Gao live in this village since he was a child?” Jiang He asked.
“No.” Luo Yu shook his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Let me think about it, it seems that Taoist Gao came here five years ago. According to what he said, he is a wandering person. Taoist priest. Five years ago, he came to a barren village and built a wooden hut on the mountain. Since he is a Taoist priest, he also understands some skills in seeing a doctor and saving people, so the villagers are happy for him to stay.”
“Five years ago.” Jiang He muttered to himself, “If he was a wandering Taoist, why didn’t he leave when he came.”
Luo Yu replied: “This question has been asked before. He said that there is a place with good feng shui in the mountains, and he hopes to be buried there when he dies. Taoists seem to value the feng shui of a cemetery. If they don’t stay here, I’m afraid the villagers won’t let him be buried there.”
Hearing Luo Yu finished speaking, Shao Lao said decisively: “He is lying.”
“Lying?” Luo Yu was a little puzzled.
Shao Lao opened his mouth and said: “People choose a cemetery with good feng shui for the sake of the descendants of Yinze, and Taoist Gao doesn’t even have a wife, let alone any descendants, what kind of good feng shui cemetery do you want? His purpose must not be here, he must It is because of some other purpose that I came to this village!”
“What other purpose would it be?” Luo Yu asked rhetorically.
At this moment, there was an ethereal voice in the distance, the voice was like weeping and melodious.
“Terrorist ballad!” Jiang He heard it.
“I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost!” Luo Yu walked out of the house first and shoved the machete he saw in the house to Jiang He: “Let’s go!”
Shao Lao said: “Wang Chao and I stay here, waiting for Taoist priest Gao to come back, you guys go have a look, turn off the flashlights, and be careful.”
“clear.”
The place where the singing came is not far away.
