The old woman let go of Jin An's hand.
The man walked towards the bonfire like crazy, talking nonsense in a painful and self-reproaching manner.
Originally, the villagers of Taoyuan Village had no reaction to the old woman's appearance.
No one hurt her.
No one paid any attention to her.
But after the old woman came within a few feet of the bonfire, the villagers of Taoyuan Village seemed to have just seen the old woman, and actually started to beat and kick the old woman away.
"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar and crazy woman? Come on, don't disturb the village banquet in Taoyuan Village. It's bad luck. You don't have any daughters or sons here. Don't talk nonsense anymore."
"Hey, this crazy beggar woman seems to be the mother of the blind Shen Qiu and the deaf Shen Shaolin?"
"Didn't she dislike her two children as a burden, so she didn't want to disappear without her children? I heard that she ran away with some wild man, so why did she come back..."
The crazy old woman was pushed far away from the bonfire by the villagers.
The villagers wouldn't let her near the bonfire.
Jin An frowned and watched everything happening in front of him.
These Taoyuan Village villagers were all influenced by the male and female couple. It is said that the Taoyuan Village villagers were beating, scolding and driving away the old woman, but it is better to say that the old woman's children have never forgiven her. I feel deep resentment towards her.
Mother is the first person a child sees after birth.
Mother is the child's most trusted support.
Everything I am, everything I am, I owe to my mother.
But when one day, the most trusted person, whose blood is thicker than water, is abandoned and pushed into the abyss by his own hands, this kind of blow that destroys all a person's beliefs will also push people's hearts to the extreme abyss.
Do you abandon your children just because the children you gave birth to are either blind or deaf?
But the siblings never gave up on themselves. The sister who was born blind became a pair of ears for the deaf brother, and the brother who was born deaf became a pair of eyes for the blind sister.
Their blood is thicker than water.
But it is better than blood is thicker than water.
The two siblings have been willing to be each other's shadows since they were young, and have survived strong. Although the elder sister has never seen the light of this world, and the younger brother has never clearly heard the voice of this world, they still have sunshine in their hearts, and there is sunshine everywhere they look.
Until that day...
All the sunshine in their lives was abandoned by the mother who regarded them as life...
Their lifelong resentment.
Neither can forgive his mother.
So, the brother and sister used the hands of the villagers to beat and kick the gray-haired old woman with a hunchback, venting their inner resentment and not letting the old woman get closer to the bonfire?
No matter how hard the old woman begged and fell to the ground to explain, the villagers would not let her get close to the bonfire, and they would not let the old woman, who was covered in mud and dirty, tarnish the brightest fire in the village.
Jin An, who had a drop of corpse oil on his left and right shoulders and between his eyebrows, could only be seen by the living but invisible by the dead. Through the cries of the old woman and the insults of the villagers, he began to gradually understand the ins and outs of everything.
Seeing the old woman being driven out of the village by the villagers of Taoyuan Village, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Uncle Master, is this what you want?"
"When you came to Taoyuan Village to slay demons and plan to eradicate all the filthy and dirty things hidden in Taoyuan Village, you also met Shen Qiu and Shen Shaolin's mother, right?"
"You also learned all the truth about Taoyuan Village, and saw the innocent brother and sister who were sacrificed as human skins by the selfish villagers, right?"
Jin An murmured.
It's just that his whispers are getting colder and colder.
because!
he!
It’s hard to calm down!
After learning all the truth, Jin An felt heartbroken and uncomfortable.
That is what is called full of anger.
Uncle Master.
I already know why you are upset.
Why can't you let go of such a deep obsession?
Are you sympathizing with the mother who was deceived by evil people and lived in grief and self-blame all her life after her children were killed?
Are you pitying the siblings who were born blind and deaf, and who should be as simple as jade, right?
You want to resolve the resentment and misunderstanding between mother and son. You want the siblings to forgive their mother...
You want to redress the injustice for the mother and son who suffered a tragic fate, you want to redress the injustice for the mother and son...
So even after you die, you still can't let go of the obsession you had during your lifetime. You linger outside Taoyuan Village again and again to prevent more innocent people from entering Taoyuan Village, a village where people can eat people. You want to save Taoyuan Village.
"Uncle Master."
"From tonight onwards, this is no longer your alone."
"It's no longer your obsession alone."
"tonight……"
"Let me expose the true face of this cannibal village, send all the evil ones to eternal hell, and get the justice they deserve for the good ones."
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded!
Jin An's eyes became colder and colder. He turned around and left here, returning to Song Fangping's house. His back, wearing a five-color Taoist robe and striding away, stood as straight as a sword at this moment.
That tall and straight back is like a perseverance in the wind and snow;
Like a wall standing thousands of feet strong;
Like the spine of an edged sword, it is sharp and murderous.
Tonight’s feast of headless corpses.
He won't be absent.
Because he wanted to personally put down the evil demons dancing all over the village at the Headless Corpse Banquet.
There is justice in the world.
…
…
When Jin An returned to Song Fangping's house, the villagers and urchins who had come to Song Fangping's house had already been there for a while.
The old Taoist priests are delaying the villagers.
When they saw Jin An walking out from behind a group of villagers, the old Taoist priest and Li Weiwei, who had almost lost track of Jin An's whereabouts, breathed a sigh of relief.
While Li Huwei and Yu Youzi were playing tricks on the villagers, the old Taoist priest sneaked back into the house and wiped three drops of corpse oil from Jin An's body.
While the old Taoist priest was wiping off three drops of corpse oil for Jin An, he was muttering to himself about how long it took Jin An to leave. He almost revealed his secret just now and was almost forced in by the villagers to search him.
The old Taoist priest was still muttering and complaining, but he found that Jin An had become a little taciturn since he came back from his trip, so he asked what was wrong with Jin An and whether he had encountered something outside.
The old Taoist priest asked Jin An to speak up if something happened. Don't always carry it alone. As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth a military advisor. Here are he, Li Weiwei and Yu Youzi.
Hmm.
Forget about sharpening the sword.
If you sharpen your sword, you can remember to eat on time without anyone calling you, and you will not starve yourself to death. The old Taoist priest feels that you have burned high incense.
The old Taoist priest complained about sword sharpening, which immediately amused Jin An. The depression in his heart also dissipated a lot, so he briefly told the old Taoist priest what he had just seen and heard.
The truth about Taoyuan Village is actually very different from what the villagers of Taoyuan Village told.
It was indeed Mr. Yuan and his group of antique dealers who personally laid out Taoyuan Village back then, promising the villagers of Taoyuan Village that he could help them change their appearance in exchange for their precious lives.
However, the villagers of Taoyuan Village are not innocent victims in all this. On the contrary, they themselves are also greedy perpetrators.
No one in this Taoyuan Village is innocent.
If Jin An hadn't borrowed three drops of corpse oil to go out this time and happened to meet the crazy old woman Shen, I'm afraid the dark truth about Taoyuan Village would have been buried in history forever.
To be continued...
