Xu Yiman said softly to Jiang He, "Those wounds have a reaction to life. Obviously, those wounds were left when the deceased was alive. Simply judging from the stiffness of the corpse, he died less than three years ago. about an hour."

Luo Yu cut the rope with a machete, and then asked the villagers to get the body back. It has only been two days since the members of the task force came to this village, and a total of four people have died in the village. It will take another day for Guan Deng to arrange for the police to find the members of the task force. When the police find the place, they still don't know how things will develop.

These hunters took off their clothes, and then tied them into a simple soft stretcher, wrapped the body in it and carried them down the mountain. All the villagers were silent, presumably these people did not have the strength and mind to continue looking for Niu Qiuju.

"Wait." When the corpse passed by Jiang He, Jiang He suddenly said to the two hunters who were carrying the corpse.

"What's wrong?" Gangzi turned around and asked.

Jiang He pushed the clothes away with his hands, revealing the corpse in the clothes once again. Jiang He stretched out his index finger and wiped it on the corpse's stomach, and Jiang He's index finger was immediately covered with blood. But then, a shocking scene happened. Jiang He first put his index finger under his nose and sniffed, then he stuck out his tongue and licked his index finger.

Such a move made the villagers feel really disgusting and shocked the rest of the task force.

"What are you doing?" Gangzi frowned and squeezed these words out of his mouth.

Jiang He smacking the taste in his mouth, wiped the blood from his index finger onto his body, and then explained to the shocked crowd, "Zhang Meng's body was smeared with meat sauce."

"Meat sauce?" everyone asked.

Jiang He nodded, observing the corpse, and said, "It's really meat sauce, Zhang Meng was not only tied to a tree, his mouth was sealed with tape, and he was smeared with meat on his stomach and other parts. Sauce. Whether it's a wolf or a dog, their sense of smell is very sensitive, and the taste of meat sauce is far stronger than that of a human."

"The murderer did this in the hope that the beasts would eat this man as soon as possible, otherwise the villagers would most likely discover his disappearance and save him." Jiang He said decisively.

But the main problem now is that Jiang He doesn't know if Niu Qiuju's disappearance has anything to do with the murderer.

"Murderer?" A villager shook his head and said, "This is the curse, this is the curse in our village since that woman died, everyone has heard the curse song. Once the curse begins, it can't be stopped unless the A woman can rest in peace, but that woman has never been able to rest in peace, not even a Taoist priest can do it!"

Hearing the villager's words, Jiang He thought of the tall and thin Taoist priest. After noon yesterday, Jiang He never saw the Taoist priest again.

"Does the Taoist priest not live in the village?" Jiang He asked.

A villager said, "Naturally an expert like the Taoist priest cannot live with us, he lives in the woods."

"In the woods?" Jiang He asked, "Aren't you afraid that he is in danger?"

"If it's a curse, he's naturally not afraid. I've never heard of a Taoist being afraid of ghosts." Luo Yu waved his hand and motioned Gangzi and the others to carry the corpse away. He then said, "But now Linzi There are man-eating beasts everywhere. Before our hunters kill these beasts, it is better to bring the Taoist priest. Otherwise, the villagers will have some minor pains and illnesses, and there will be nothing to do at that time.”

"We'll go with you." Jiang He said, "I still have something to ask you."

Luo Yu put the machete in his hand back to his waist and nodded.

The place where the Taoist priest lived is halfway up the mountain, and you can reach it if you continue to walk up this road.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Jiang He gradually distanced himself from the villagers who came down the mountain, and then Jiang He said, "Brother Luo, there is one thing I have always wondered about. The forest has become a wild dog, what is the situation?"

"Dogs?" Luo Yu smiled: "Maybe the people in the village don't like keeping dogs."

Jiang He shook his head and said to Luo Yu, "Brother Luo, we have heard what you and the village chief said before. You said that this is definitely not a trace from a wolf's bite."

"That's not necessarily a dog." Luo Yu said.

Jiang He raised his arm, pointed to his wound, and said, "Actually, when I came here, I was attacked by a dog, and we're pretty sure it wasn't a wolf, it was a dog, and a A dog that surpasses human flesh."

Luo Yu stopped. He stared at Jiang He motionless, with one hand on the machete at his waist, as if he was ready to use the machete to split Jiang He into two pieces at any time.

Yuan Jun looked at Luo Yu's hand, and he was ready at the same time.

The rest of the people also stared at Luo Yu, not knowing what Luo Yu wanted to do.

After a while, Luo Yu continued to walk forward. As he walked, he told everyone a story:

A long time ago, there was a small isolated village in the deep mountains. It was a turbulent era. Almost all the people in the village came to this place from outside. The older generation found this paradise, so they settled down here, and the number of people increased.

There are more people, and trouble will follow. Robbery, rape, murder, all kinds of problems emerge one after another. There were no laws in those days, and whoever had the bigger fist was the law. If this continues, then this village will be no different from the outside world.

They came here because there is no war, no murder, no sin.

But where there are people, there is evil, and the most evil things in human nature go hand in hand, and once they have the right soil, they will resurface.

So all the villagers united, and they formulated an exclusive law that belongs to the village, and the law is very simple. As long as more than two-thirds of the villagers think that a person is a villain, then this person should be executed. There is no law here, the villagers' thoughts are the law.

It is very simple to want to kill a person, everyone may have the idea of ​​wanting to kill someone else in an instant. But there is an essential difference between wanting to kill and killing.

The first villain was chosen, and everyone tied him to a pillar at the entrance of the village.

"How to kill?" a villager asked.

"Isn't it easy to kill people, don't those soldiers outside kill people everywhere?" someone said.

"Then you come!" said the villager.

These kind-hearted villagers don't know **** at all. If they knew how to kill, they wouldn't have escaped to this deep mountain and old forest. Murder is never easy, even though the person in front of him is a damned person, no one can do it.

What is accurate is that these people all want to let him die, but none of them want to do it, and no one wants to be the first.

Sometimes, the imagination of the simple and kind villagers is infinite. Since everyone does not want to kill, why can't they use other things to kill? The wolf is indeed a good choice, but the wolf is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be buried in the wolf's belly, so why not choose an animal that is very similar to the wolf?

The villagers thought of using dogs to do all this, but domestic dogs would not take the initiative to attack humans, nor would they take the initiative to eat humans.

Someone came up with an excellent solution. They dug a large pit in the village that was seven or eight deep and three or four meters in diameter. There was no ladder in this pit, and it was absolutely impossible for people to climb up from below. These people threw a few dogs into the pit, and a few dogs wanted to climb up from the pit, but the pit was too deep, and the dogs had no way to climb up.

So the dogs were starved for five or six days.

In fact, the villagers could starve this man to death, but no one mentioned it, because they had never seen a dog eating a man, and everyone knew it.

After being starved for five or six days, the dogs' eyes were red, and they howled, a sound these dogs had never made. Their bellies were "gurgling", and their teeth seemed to be sharper. The dogs looked at each other, and they were ready to attack each other at any time.

This reminded Mr. Shao of the legend of nine dogs and one mastiff. In order to get the best mastiffs, people would put nine young mastiffs in the cellar and give only a small amount of food, enough for one mastiff. The mastiff had to go through brutal competition and even survive by devouring its own kind, and the mastiff that survived was the king of mastiffs.

Apparently, just as the dogs were about to kill each other, cannibalism, a man was pushed from the top of the pothole.

This is living food.

What happens to a dog who has been hungry for five or six days without food and sees a living human being, the outcome is predictable. Soon, the man was torn to shreds and turned into the delicacy of these vicious dogs.

This is an excellent way of punishment. After seeing the scene of being eaten by a vicious dog, no villager would do evil, because the blood and flesh of the person who was bitten was bloody, and the screams of the people who were bitten were deeply carved into it. in the minds of every villager. If there really is reincarnation, then this is the picture of hell.

One villain after another was elected by the villagers, who dug one pit after another and put dog after dog in it. After an unknown amount of time, the villains in the village were finally eaten up. The villagers don't need these big pits anymore, they need to let the dogs out.

But some things can't be stopped once they start. These watchdogs have returned from hell, their eyes have turned red, and the dog's mouth has a stench of corpses. These dogs who have eaten human flesh can no longer eat the crumbs, and can no longer eat anything else.

But in those days, even people could not eat meat, let alone a dog.

So the first dog pounced on the man.
