Chai Fei pushed the mud away and actually saw a piece of yellow cloth in the middle. Wrapped in the yellow cloth was a small bunch of soft black hair and some cut nails. Judging from the shape of the nails, they seemed to be cut from a child's hand. In addition, a birth date was written on the red cloth.

Seeing this, Chen Jun also imitated Chai Fei's action and smashed the clay figurine in his hand against the wall. Then he also found the hair and nails wrapped in yellow cloth.

The two of them couldn't even understand the lunar calendar, let alone something as obscure as birth dates, so they both handed the yellow cloth to the camera.

Ji Chu frowned after just one look.

"Anchor....Did you see anything?"

Ji Chu's voice was icy: "Your village chief must have hidden something from you. These two clay figures are not the God of Land or the Goddess of Land at all. They are clearly two five-year-old girls who have passed away, and they are twins."

The two were so shocked by what Ji Chu said that they couldn't close their mouths.

"A 5-year-old girl...twins..." Chai Fei murmured, and then he suddenly remembered something and grabbed Chen Jun's clothes: "The only ones who meet this condition are Zhao Wu's Lingling and Huanhuan."

"Logically speaking, they are both the great-grandchildren of Grandpa Ma San, and they should come to kowtow tonight, but I haven't seen them the whole night. Did something happen to them?"

Chen Jun couldn't believe it: "Lingling and Huanhuan were picked up by their mother who was working away from home two years ago."

[Taken away by their mother? Are the mother and father of these two little girls divorced? ]

Facing questions from the comments, Chai Fei shook his head: "No, but it's no different than being divorced."

"Although Zhao Wu is of the same generation as us in this village, he is 10 years older than us."

"He was a gambler and a drinker. When he was drunk, he would cause trouble everywhere and molest young girls. He had fought with many people in the village because of this."

"His mother, Mrs. Qian, is not someone you can easily mess with. Every time Zhao Wu gets in trouble, she helps him to resolve the situation by first crying, then making a scene, then threatening to hang herself."

"Later, Zhao Wu got older and his bad reputation was known in the surrounding area. No girl was willing to marry him, so Old Lady Qian went to a family that favored boys over girls and bought an unpopular daughter for her son to marry."

[Human trafficking is illegal! ]

[It's a different era now, Chai Fei's village just got a cement road. You can guess how backward this place is just by moving your toes. Buying a wife is probably the norm there.]

Chai Fei did not refute, which was considered as tacit agreement. He continued: "After that woman married into the Zhao family, she was very hardworking and did all kinds of work. We all called her Sister Qiuyue."

"Because of Sister Qiuyue's arrival, Zhao Wu was stable for a while, but soon he returned to his old ways, and even became worse. He stayed away from home all day long, and was eventually beaten by a creditor who came to his doorstep and broke one of his legs."

"During that time, Old Lady Qian cursed in the streets every day, scolding Sister Qiuyue for not being able to control her husband and calling her a jinx."

"This situation continued until Sister Qiuyue became pregnant, and then Old Lady Qian stopped."

"Everyone in the village feels sorry for Sister Qiuyue, thinking that Zhao Wu and Old Lady Qian will treat her better after she has a child."

"Who would have thought that Zhao Wu and Old Lady Qian were extremely patriarchal, and Sister Qiuyue not only failed to give birth to a boy as they wished, but also had two girls her whole life."

"Now, Sister Qiuyue's life will be even more difficult."

"On the day when the two children were brought home, Mrs. Qian said she wanted to drown them in a urine bucket. Later, the village chief stopped her, saying that killing was against the law."

"Sister Qiuyue also said that she could go out to work and earn money to support the family after she was released from confinement, so she begged Mrs. Qian to keep the two children. That's why Lingling and Huanhuan survived."

"Later, before Sister Qiuyue had finished her confinement, she was driven out by Old Lady Qian to work. But the money Sister Qiuyue sent back was not spent on the two children at all. They were raised by hundreds of families in the village."

[What's wrong with girls? There are so many bachelors in rural areas now, isn't it because so many baby girls were killed back then?]

[Didn’t Chen Jun say that they were picked up by their mother two years ago? Why did the anchor say that the two little girls were dead? ]

Chen Jun lowered his head and looked at the two tufts of hair and said in a muffled voice, "Just like the clay figurine was said to be a stone statue, we also heard from Old Lady Qian that Lingling and Huanhuan were taken away. They are distant relatives, so who would chase them to the city to confirm it?"

Thinking of the two little girls who had once called him "uncle" in a soft and tender manner, Chai Fei felt a dull pain in his heart. He wrapped his nails and hair in yellow cloth and stuffed them back into the clay mold, then wrapped them tightly with red cloth and put them back on the altar.

"The only thing we can be sure of now is that Old Lady Qian lied. There must be some kind of deal between her and the village chief!"

At this moment, Chen Jun was not at all as panicked as he was when he first went out. Thinking about his guesses, he unexpectedly discovered that human hearts were much more terrifying than ghosts and gods.

“Brother Fei, let’s go to Zhao Wu’s house now!”

"Ok!"

The two men came out of the land temple and headed straight towards Zhao Wu's house. Not long after, they arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.

Although the whole village was not very wealthy, every household tried their best to repair their own houses. On the other hand, Zhao Wu's yard was too lazy to repair the collapsed wall, which made it convenient for Chai Fei and Chen Jun.

The two men lay at the foot of the low wall, picked up stones and threw them at the Zhao family's gate.

"Who!"

After a loud bang, an old and harsh voice came from inside the house.

Chai Fei and Chen Jun didn't respond, but picked up stones and threw them at the gate again.

"Who is it? Which little bastard is it that stays up late at night and comes to smash my door!"

Chai Fei and Chen Jun still didn't respond. Just as they picked up stones to throw for the third time, the door of the Zhao family was suddenly opened and a ferocious old woman walked out.

Seeing the stones on the ground, she cursed fiercely again, but because of the rumors in the village, she didn't dare to step out of the eaves.

"Anchor, have you seen Mrs. Qian?"

"I saw it." Ji Chu responded weakly.

"Anchor, did Mrs. Qian lie?"

Ji Chu nodded.

"Anchor, what exactly did Mrs. Qian hide? Lingling and Huanhuan, they..."

"They were taken away by your village chief to kill living people." Chai Fei was interrupted by Ji Chu before he could finish his question.

[Beating a living person? How cruel! 】

[Just a quick question, what is a living pile? ]

[The most evil secret method in Lu Ban's book is to pour a living person into the building when there are problems during construction, and let this person become the patron saint of the building, so that the construction can go smoothly! ]

[So Lingling and Huanhuan were...too cruel!]

Chai Fei and Chen Jun felt the blood in their bodies begin to flow backwards. They originally thought that the bridge was weird because the place used to be a mass grave. Unexpectedly, the people lying in the bridge were the two 5-year-old girls who once called them "uncle".
