Quick Wear: Beautiful, Strong, Miserable, Whitening Guide
Chapter 139 Unexplained Scars
Chu Ziyu looked at the man in front of him. He didn't look like the fat guy from last night at all. The man standing in front of him now was clearly just an ordinary farmer with a sallow complexion and a thin body.
They walked along the bumpy dirt road and finally arrived at the entrance of the village. The village chief's house was located right opposite the entrance of the village. Compared with other villagers, the village chief's house was slightly better - it was a simple thatched house made of bricks and spliced with wood.
A group of people walked into the house, but they didn't see the village chief, and the man who led the way had already left. The room was dimly lit, with the only lighting coming from the cracked glass on the wall.
Although the muddy ground under my feet has been roughly leveled, there are still many small cracks. Looking around, I saw a few broken old chairs and a wooden square table in the house, with the tabletop cluttered with various sundries.
Lin Ci'an looked around the room absentmindedly, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by a picture frame hanging on the wall. There seemed to be a black and white photo in the frame, and out of curiosity, he picked it up and took a look. It was a young girl wearing a simple dress without patterns and a long braided hair. Hearing the sound of a cane hitting the ground outside the house, Lin Ci'an put the picture frame back in place, turned around quickly, and looked towards the door.
The village chief looked at the five people in front of him, his eyes sweeping over each of their faces, but he did not ask any more questions about the disappeared female anchor, as if this person had never existed.
After a moment of silence, the village chief slowly spoke and told the story of the Rock Sheep Village: "A long time ago, our village was not called Rock Sheep Village. At that time, a family in the village became rich by raising sheep, and others followed suit, so every household began to raise sheep. Later, in order to commemorate this history, the village was renamed Rock Sheep Village. However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. One year, the village decided to marry a bride to a businessman from outside the village who came to buy sheep.
Who would have thought that on the wedding day, the bride died unexpectedly without any warning. Since then, the sheep in the village have died one after another, and the once prosperous sheep industry collapsed in an instant. Overnight, the Rock Sheep Village fell into poverty again, and what was worse was that all kinds of strange events occurred frequently. At first, only some villagers accidentally fell and broke bones; gradually, even the village was blocked by a mysterious force, and people could not take a step out, and could only vaguely see vague human figures in the dense fog... "
The village chief talked endlessly about the strange things that happened in the village over the years, and before he knew it, it was almost noon. He stopped talking, took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Okay, let's stop here for today. In my opinion, all these strange phenomena are not accidental. I'm afraid there are evil spirits at work, and they have cast a vicious curse on our village! So I have to trouble you to investigate further."
After saying that, the village chief cast his gaze towards Gao Daqiang and Lin Ci'an, then turned his head to Chu Ziyu. After all, these were reporters he specially invited to report on the oddities of the village so as to attract more people.
"I hope reporter Chu can write us a report about the strange things happening in the village."
Chu Ziyu didn't expect that the village chief in the courtyard would care about him, so he quickly nodded and agreed.
The five people were treated to a meal by the village chief. When Lin Ci'an saw that the village chief seemed to want to get up and leave, he quickly asked, "Village chief, who is the beautiful girl in the photo hanging on the wall?"
When the village chief heard this, his body stiffened slightly. He turned around slowly, a trace of sadness and nostalgia appeared on his face, and he said softly: "That was my daughter. Unfortunately, she suffered a misfortune and left me." As soon as he finished speaking, he said no more, walked out of the room, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.
The village chief and several strong men in the village were busy preparing dinner on the stove outside the house. The five people in the house fell into silence. After they looked at each other at the same time, they naturally divided into two groups. Lin Ci'an took Chu Ziyu's bandaged hand and walked to the side, deliberately keeping a certain distance from the other three.
Lin Ci'an lowered his voice and said to Chu Ziyu, "Although the village chief said that this village makes a living by raising sheep, these so-called sheep may actually be living people! It seems that we are now reduced to two-legged sheep. Therefore, we must be extra careful!" Chu Ziyu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, indicating that he fully agreed with Lin Ci'an's opinion.
At this time, the village chief walked into the house with steaming hot meals and enthusiastically invited everyone to have a meal together. There were a few simple and plain home-cooked dishes on the table, nothing unusual. However, the atmosphere was extremely dull during the whole meal, and everyone was silent. Only the village chief would occasionally break the deadlock and say a few words to try to liven up the atmosphere.
After dinner, the village chief told everyone that they could walk around the village at will, but remember not to go to the center of the village and to return to their residence before dark.
Everyone took action and began to explore this mysterious village in depth. However, unlike others, Lin Ci'an was not eager to join them. Instead, he pulled Chu Ziyu back to their hut.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Lin Ci'an was keenly aware of something strange - Chu Ziyu's clothes on his chest were stained with blood! You know, last night Lin Ci'an personally washed and dried Chu Ziyu's clothes, and carefully changed them for him. According to common sense, this situation would never happen. Lin Ci'an was extremely anxious, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to tear open Chu Ziyu's clothes, wanting to find out the reason.
Surprisingly, after a careful inspection, Lin Ci'an did not find any fresh wounds, but unexpectedly found five or six piercing wounds on his chest that were obviously caused by swords. These wounds had obviously healed for a long time. But these wounds were clearly not there yesterday, as if there were a few more flaws on a beautiful jade.
Looking at Chu Ziyu's bewildered eyes, Lin Ci'an knew that he would not get an answer from him. Helplessly, Lin Ci'an sighed softly, silently helped Chu Ziyu tidy up his clothes, and then buttoned them carefully.
He untied the bandages on Chu Ziyu's hands and noticed that Chu Ziyu's hands, which should have been as soft as jade, now showed a skeleton-like state, which was shocking.
However, Lin Ci'an had already cleaned the dirt off his hands yesterday and bandaged him carefully. Although the injury did not improve significantly, it did not deteriorate to a worse state, but just maintained the current state.
Lin Ci'an realized that he was beginning to feel sorry for Chu Ziyu, and thought to himself, "Really? You are really worthless. You are already dead, but you still care about this and that." But he was still prepared to use the points to treat Chu Ziyu after the mission was successful.
