Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 259 258: Note: The Bitter River God is dead

"But we have people who eat Kamikawa Village."

Gu Yan's tone was flat, as if what he said was just a trivial matter.

"I...we!"

"Yes, we!" Gu Yan emphasized the last two words: "You don't think that the meat in the rice porridge I distribute to Xiahe Village every three days is all the bacon that has been saved."

Before entering the stomach of the Kuhe God, Xiahe Village, under the leadership of Gu Yan, gathered part of the village's grain and lived a semi-public life.

Every three days, food would be taken out from the granary for everyone to eat together, and the rest of the time the villagers would take care of themselves at home.

The advantage of this is that part of the food is distributed by the village chief, which can prevent some poorer families in the village from starving to death due to lack of food.

However, having said that, how long can the food last?

Xiahe Village had been in the stomach of the Bitter River God for two years. Although they had made some preparations under the warning of the Bitter River God and had collected all the edible things in the surrounding mountains in advance, the more than 300 people in Xiahe Village had already eaten up all the food during such a long period of time.

Now there is only stale rice left in the granary. Even if Lin Beixuan doesn't come, it can't last more than half a month.

This was preserved despite Gu Yan's repeated inspections.

On the other hand, Shanghe Village had run out of food several months ago, internal conflicts arose, and many people died.

And those who died naturally cannot be wasted.

Gu Yan's words were spoken plainly, but to Yinggu they were like a bolt from the blue.

She couldn't believe what she heard, so she stepped back and uncontrollably lay on the ground and retched.

While vomiting, tears flowed down her face, her eyes were bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth and asked hoarsely: "Did you also use Ajiu's father to make jerky?"

Her husband died a year ago due to a relapse of his old illness. He was taken away by Gu Yan at that time, saying that he would be taken to the ground for burial.

Under Yinggu's hateful gaze, Gu Yan looked indifferent: "I said, we only ate people from Shanghe Village."

Yinggu shook her head after hearing this: "Tell me where Jiu's father is buried. I want to see with my own eyes whether his body is there or not."

Gu Yan sighed when he heard this: "Even if you go to see him now, after so much time, he has already become a pile of bones. Why add to your grief?"

"No!"

"I'm going to go and see. If I can't see it with my own eyes, I'm going to tell everyone about your actions!"

Yinggu pointed at Gu Yan and said, her mood was obviously a little off.

Ajiu was listening nearby. It was not that he didn't understand everything, but his face turned pale as he looked at the village chief whom he had always respected, and then at his mother who seemed to have lost control of her emotions.

'My dad might have been eaten?'

These few short words lingered in his mind like a landslide, casting a considerable shadow on him.

Lin Beixuan looked at the scene in front of him, his expression did not change at all, he looked cold and calm.

Living in this hell, he could not judge whether Gu Yan's actions were right or wrong. He could only blame this damn world.

Gu Yan no longer paid attention to Yinggu's crying and slowly turned his head to look at Lin Beixuan.

"It is indeed as you said. We have eaten humans. What else do you want to know, dear guest?"

At this time, Gu Yan no longer hid anything. After saying what he had been hiding, he seemed to be much more relaxed, but he looked even older.

Lin Beixuan was silent for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from outside.

It's a bald head.

At this moment, he hurriedly ran into the courtyard, holding onto the door of the adobe house, and breathlessly said to Gu Yan, "Village Chief, people from Shanghe Village are here."

Gu Yan frowned: "How many people are here?"

"all!"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yan stood up suddenly.

His face became extremely gloomy, and he turned to Lin Beixuan and said, "Dear guest, we may have to wait until next time to discuss some things."

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Beixuan shook his head, and then he saw Gu Yan quickly following the bald man out.

At this time, there were only three people left in the house. Yinggu's thin shoulders trembled. She hugged the child tightly and murmured in a low voice: "They are coming, they are coming..."

Lin Beixuan didn't know how to persuade the other party, and finally could only say: "It's okay."

After saying this, he left the room and walked in the direction where Gu Yan and others had left.

At this moment, hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of Xiahe Village, standing in a confrontational trend between the two sides.

Guan Shuo stood in front of a group of young and strong people from Xiahe Village, staring at the other group of people, with his eyes focused on the tall and strong middle-aged man in the front.

In this period when everyone is tightening their belts and tightening their belts, everyone is pitifully thin, but the man in front of me is still able to maintain a strong body, and is even a little fat, which is obviously not normal.

This person naturally brought a lot of pressure to Guan Shuo.

"Zhang Kuan, why did you bring so many people to our Xiahe Village?"

The tall and strong middle-aged man opposite grinned, revealing his white teeth.

"Hehe, we all come from the same clan and are relatives. Can't we come over to visit?" Zhang Kuan said with a smile.

The ancestors of Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village did come from the same place. They were formed by a large family that migrated to Kuhe and then split up and multiplied and developed.

Strictly speaking, many people in the upper and lower villages are related to each other to some extent.

But in this world, even though there are many relatives between the two villages, everyone knows which side they should lean towards.

In ancient times, no matter how fierce the internal fighting among the villagers was, they would always be united against the outside world.

This is due to the social and living conditions.

Unlike the present world, except for a few places that still maintain this custom, most of the rural population in most areas have been divided into cities, and the population in the villages is extremely small.

Those who are divided into different communities come from all over the world and it is difficult for them to unite. Even two neighboring families will not visit each other.

Hearing Zhang Kuan's words, Guan Shuo's expression became solemn and he tightly gripped the dagger in his hand.

The more the other party said this, the more problems there were, especially since Shanghe Village had been invaded by "outsiders" some time ago.

"Even if you're just visiting, there's no need to bring so many people."

Guan Shuo glanced at the other side's crowd. There were men and women among them, many of whom were with children.

"Oh, you can't say that. Our two villages are from the same clan. Are you planning to stop receiving so many people? Now that we are all trying to survive here together, we should take care of each other."

"Some time ago, some outsiders came in here. Maybe their original target was your Xiahe Village, but we in Shanghe Village helped to block them. That's why you have been living in peace until now." Seeing Guan Shuo's cold tone, the smile on Zhang Kuan's face gradually faded.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous when you say that?" Guan Shuo almost laughed out loud at Zhang Kuan's words and said sarcastically.

"do not think so."

The smile on Zhang Kuan's face had completely disappeared. He stared at Guan Shuo coldly and said, "I heard that there's an outsider in your village."

"He might be an accomplice of the outsider who killed someone in Shanghe Village last time. Hand him over to me and I will leave with my men right away."

As he said this, Zhang Kuan couldn't help but licking his lips.

Guan Shuo frowned when he heard this. He didn't know the whole story and was a little undecided for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Kuan sneered in his heart and said directly: "Since you can't make up your mind, let me take people in to look for it myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the villagers from Shanghe Village behind Zhang Kuan suddenly lit up, revealing ferocious eyes like hungry wolves.

Compared to Zhang Kuan, these villagers were obviously much more "normal", with sunken cheeks and thin bodies, as if they had been hungry for a long time.

If it weren't for the young men from Xiahe Village standing in front of them, they might have rushed into the village right after Zhang Kuan finished speaking. As for whether they really captured the outsider, that remained to be seen.

"no!"

Guan Shuo rejected it outright.

He looked back and forth at the crowd opposite him. The people from Shanghe Village gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

Zhang Kuan glared, and a fierce aura emanated from his tall and strong body.

"You said no, so it's no? Do you want to destroy the friendship between our two villages because of an outsider?"

Guan Shuo said nothing, but stared into Zhang Kuan's eyes. Even though he was slightly inferior to the other in physique, he did not lose any momentum.

"Oh, it's very good..."

Zhang Kuan pretended to take a step forward, and the villagers from Shanghe Village behind him also walked forward, with a certain desire in their eyes becoming stronger.

But just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, an old voice came from behind Guan Shuo.

"What if I say no?"

Gu Yan, leaning on a cane, stood out from behind Guan Shuo.

He was short and thin, but no one present dared to ignore him, including Zhang Kuan. His momentum also began to weaken, and he no longer had the same aura as when he faced Guan Shuo.

The "village chief" is the most prestigious person in any village. He is also the representative of the village and unites the hearts of the people in the village.

In the two villages of Shanghe and Xiahe, the village chiefs have an irreplaceable and special role, which is to communicate with secular gods.

Therefore, Zhang Kuan was obviously much more respectful when treating Gu Yan.

"So it's really ancient. Look at what happened just now..."

Gu Yan glanced at Zhang Kuan with a cold expression.

"You are not qualified to talk to me. Where is old man Zhang? Call him out."

Hearing Gu Yan's blunt words, Zhang Kuan's expression suddenly turned gloomy and he straightened his body.

"My father has given me full authority over all matters in the village. My words are his words."

Gu Yan glanced at Zhang Kuan and said, "Don't think I don't know why you are here."

"roll!"

As someone who knew about the Shanghe Village incident, Gu Yan naturally knew the other party's fundamental purpose of coming this time, so he was not polite at all.

Zhang Kuan smiled coldly. This time he brought the whole village to Xiahe Village and had no intention of going back.

There is no food left in their Shanghe Village. Eating each other among villagers is not a solution and will only drag down the village in the end, so they have to find other solutions.

So he turned his attention to Xiahe Village.

Rather than letting the people in his own village starve to death, it is better to use the people in Xiahe Village as food, so that he can live longer.

He calculated that there were more than 300 elderly, weak, women and children in Xiahe Village, and more than 100 young and strong people.

Although the total number of people in Shanghe Village is less than that of the other side, they have more young and strong people. It is still uncertain who will win or lose if a real fight breaks out.

Moreover, even if both sides suffer heavy losses in the fight, the dead can naturally be used as food, and the problem can be solved in the end.

After realizing this, Zhang Kuan showed a sinister smile on his face, and now he stopped talking nonsense.

"Follow me and kill!"

In an instant, the true intentions were revealed, and the people of Shanghe Village showed the weapons hidden behind their backs.

Zhang Kuan pulled out a two-foot-long broadsword from his back. No one knew how he had hidden it. He led the charge and pounced towards Gu Yan with his strong body.

"careful!"

Guan Shuo pushed Gu Yan away and immediately rushed forward, wielding his dagger.

Keng!
The two swords collided with each other, and the fire of cold weapons appeared.

The villagers from both sides rushed forward and soon started fighting.

Lin Beixuan rushed over and saw this scene. He narrowed his eyes slightly and was considering whether to take action or not, when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the sky.

dong dong!

dong dong!

It was the sound of the Bitter River God's heartbeat, muffled as thunder.

However, this time the heartbeat was much more rapid and continuous than he had heard before.

Immediately afterwards, the ground in the stomach began to shake, and the ground cracked, revealing a blood-red liquid that looked like magma underneath.

Rumble…

The shaking of the ground made the people from both villages stop and look at each other in disbelief.

Gu Yan tried his best to steady himself, took out three incense sticks from his arms and lit them, closed his eyes, poured the stone tablets used for divination on the ground, and silently recited the formula in his mind.

However, in just a moment, his old face turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How could it be, how could it be..."

Gu Yan's eyes widened, his face filled with horror, as if he had seen something that he could not accept. The incense in his hand shook as his palm trembled.

Lin Beixuan also noticed something was wrong, and the panel prompts kept echoing in his mind.

[Note: The special target little vulgar god you encountered - Kuhe God is dead.]

[Note: Special area: The six internal organs of the Kuhe God - the stomach is in a state of continuous collapse. ]

[Note: The aura of disaster from the starving ghosts that was sealed off by the Bitter River God is being released.]

[The influence of the minor god - Kuhe God digesting you is removed, and all attributes are restored. 】

……

……

"The God of the Bitter River is dead!"

Lin Beixuan suddenly looked up at the sky, and saw that the violent muffled thunder had calmed down after the rapid noise just now, and there was no sound for a long time.

But the sky gradually darkened at some point, and the light from the two holes that looked like the sun faded, as if a pair of eyes were slowly closing.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and along with it came a stench that made Lin Beixuan feel suffocated.

"Screw rustle..."

The entire stomach of the Kuhe God began to become strange, with bulges appearing under the ground and inexplicable rustling sounds coming from all around, as if countless insects were crawling.

"not good!"

Without saying a word, Lin Beixuan ran quickly towards the intestinal hole where he came from.

He exerted all his strength and in a short while he arrived at the place where he came from.

But when he looked, he saw that the intestine that was originally open had now completely closed, without a single gap.

Lin Beixuan tried to break the closed entrance of the cave, but no matter what method he used, he could not reopen it.

Now the intestines of the Bitter River God seem to be sealed with some kind of seal. No one can get in from the outside, and no one can get out from the inside. All the people and things in the stomach will perish along with the Bitter River God.

　Sanyang will make up for the chapters he owed yesterday in the next week together with the previous ones. I calculated that if each chapter is 4,000 words, Sanyang owes five chapters.
