New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

While Xiaoyanzi and the others continued on their way to Yunzhou, An San also reported to the authorities and asked the soldiers to investigate Xingfu Village.

An San did not elaborate on the humiliation that Yao Ji had suffered, nor did he say how she used the poison to destroy the entire village.

After all, if the poison is revealed to the public and people know that it has such a powerful effect, then people will be wary of Miaojiang and covet it, which will be a catastrophe for Miaojiang.

So he briefly summarized and explained to the county magistrate that after Yao Ji was tricked into the village, she found a way to knock out the villagers. When she was escaping, she happened to meet the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley and others. Everyone wanted to help her find evidence. As a result, the only survivor of Xingfu Village set a fire in an attempt to destroy all the evidence. Yao Ji couldn't bear to see him being complacent, so she dragged him to die with her.

Those people were burned to death, and even if there were survivors who died miserably, they were killed by Lin Hu. An San pushed the sin onto Lin Hu, preserving the last bit of Yao Ji's dignity, and hoped that the county officials would not discover the existence of the Gu worm, otherwise, Miaojiang would never have peace in the future.

Fortunately, the county magistrate and others did not notice anything unusual. After a period of investigation, they confirmed that what An San said was true. The people in this village were indeed beasts in human form. This also proved that what Yao Ji said to them was not a lie.

Yao Ji was not the first woman to be tricked into entering. Before her, there were more than a dozen people who were abducted, and some were deceived into entering.

Xingfu Village, whose original name was Lanwa Village, was a place where people favored boys over girls. Many girls were thrown away or drowned at birth, resulting in most men being unable to marry when they grew up. So those men tried to abduct or trick girls into coming in. Later, they felt that Lanwa Village didn’t sound good, so they changed its name to Xingfu Village.

These trafficked women have been subjected to inhuman torture and abuse, and some have even lost their lives. And those women who were deceived have become reproductive tools for these men, and their fate is equally tragic.

This village is located deep in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, with inconvenient transportation and isolated from the outside world, so few people know that there is such a village here. There is an unwritten rule in this village: women cannot leave the village. This restriction is a constraint for women, but a protection for men.

Lin Hu has lived in this village since he was a child, and he always thought that his village was full of warmth and kindness. However, as he grew older, he gradually discovered that this village was not as good as he imagined.

When he was a child, Lin Hu was closely watched by his family and had almost no chance to contact the outside world. All he saw were the people and things in the village, which made him mistakenly believe that everything in the village was harmonious. But in fact, he didn't know that the whole village was hiding many dark sides.

His parents once threw his three sisters to death. What a cruel act! But he knew nothing about it and thought his parents were kind people. His eldest sister-in-law married his eldest brother voluntarily. Although he occasionally saw injuries on his eldest sister-in-law, and his eldest brother sometimes told him that women need to be disciplined, he thought it was normal behavior.

So when Yao Ji was injured and heard her say that she wanted to go to his house to recuperate, he hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

At that time, he still had a bit of kindness and compassion in his heart. He hoped to help the injured woman recover and provide her with a safe environment. However, fate played a cruel joke on him.

But he didn't expect that when he later learned that she was raped and humiliated by her father and elder brother, the shock in his heart made him unable to accept it. When he learned the secret of this village, the dirty blood in his body began to become excited, and it was an irresistible impulse. He hesitated for only a moment before choosing to join in.

What happened afterwards was just as the enchantress said, but before that, more than a dozen girls were trafficked into the village. Once they were in, they could not get out because there were mountains nearby and there were people guarding the entrance to the village. Many girls were trafficked into the village for more than a decade, and after having children, they were trapped in the village. These girls lost their freedom and became prisoners of this evil village. Their lives were full of pain and despair, unable to live or die. They were so painful and desperate that they became numb and even gradually assimilated.

After being tricked into the village, the enchantress discovered that it was full of filth and ugliness. She had hoped that someone would save her, but the reality disappointed her. All the men in the village coveted her beauty and figure, and they attacked her like hungry wolves.

The women showed two extreme attitudes: one was jealousy, the other was indifference. This desperate environment made the enchantress choose to destroy the entire village and kill all the villagers without hesitation after she regained her abilities. Perhaps those women who had already been assimilated would also feel a little relieved, because this village was too dirty and trapped them in darkness for the first half of their lives.

When the officers and soldiers discovered these secrets from clues, everyone was shocked.

This once peaceful and tranquil village has now been burned to ruins. The fire destroyed most of the village, but a small part of it was spared. In the houses that were not burned, the officers and soldiers found several bodies with miserable deaths. What was horrifying was that they also found a hidden secret room in one of the houses, which was filled with various torture instruments used to torture women.

What is even more shocking is that there are secret rooms hidden under almost every house. Some of the secret rooms stored food, but unfortunately they have been burned; while other secret rooms are full of horror, with torture instruments and human skeletons placed inside.

On the hillside behind the village, there were a large number of earth pits, each with a body buried in it. Some were so old that they had turned into bones, but when they were counted carefully, there were actually hundreds of bodies.

Faced with such an astonishing discovery, the officers and soldiers could not help but feel a chill. This once seemingly ordinary village actually hid so much darkness and evil behind it.

Even the usually calm An San was shocked by the scene before him. He had never thought that such a seemingly beautiful and peaceful place could actually hide so much evil.

The soldiers collected the remains and buried them on the spot. However, further investigation is needed to determine whether there are other survivors or escapees in the village. In addition, in-depth and detailed investigations are also needed to determine where the women in the village were trafficked from and whether they have connections with superiors or harbouring people. All of this will take a lot of time and effort.

After careful consideration, An San finally decided to pass the news to An Yi. He reported the matter in detail to his superiors, hoping that it would be properly handled. Although he had considered reporting the matter directly to the emperor, as a secret guard, he should communicate with his superiors and report the situation first in the presence of his superiors. Therefore, he could only inform his superiors of the progress of the matter first, and then they would decide how to convey it to the emperor. Although this might delay some time, it was also in line with the rules and procedures.

After the letter was finished and sent away by carrier pigeon, An San looked at the county magistrate in front of him and suddenly said, "Sir, I have another unwelcome request."

The county magistrate asked quickly, "Your Excellency, please feel free to speak!"

An San said, "After you go back, can you write a notice to inform the world about the situation in this village? In particular, remind all women to be careful when they go out, not to trust strangers, and not to go to strangers' homes easily."

After hearing this, the county magistrate thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "Good idea, I will do it."
