Chapter 285 The Wooden Cage

At this time, Taohuawu was peaceful, children were chasing and playing, women were busy with their work, and several old people were basking in the sun in front of their houses. At first glance, everything seemed normal, but Song Jiang looked at it for a while. I found another problem, this Taohuawu seems to be missing something compared to the general countryside...

"Did you see what Taohuawu lacks compared to ordinary villages?" Song Jiang turned to look at them and asked.

"Young and middle-aged men, haven't you said this before?" Deng Kai said with a puzzled expression.

But Song Jiang shook his head and said, "It's livestock... Take a closer look, are there chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep in this village?"

After hearing this, the few people all condescendingly searched in Taohuawu, but they really didn't see any family with livestock, not even a watchdog guarding the house...

"They don't eat meat? I said last night that we were invited to a vegetarian feast. I dare say that everyone in Taohuawu is vegetarian!" Deng Kai said in surprise.

After hearing this, Gu Hao snorted coldly, "They don't eat meat during the day, but they eat it deliciously at night..."

Song Jiang and Deng Kai all showed disgusted expressions when they heard this, and Zhou Shiwu said calmly, "I've heard of cannibalism before, but it's either because I have to survive in an extreme environment. The choice is, or to believe that eating the flesh of the dead will give you some kind of power. This kind of thing did happen in some African countries in the early years... Although the economic conditions in Taohuawu are not good, it is not so bad that you have to rely on human flesh to feed your hunger So I feel that the latter is more likely, and as far as I know, human flesh is not very tasty."

Deng Kai curled his lips and said, "It's as if you have eaten it..."

Zhou Shiwu smiled and said, "I have never eaten human flesh, but I have eaten rats, snakes, crocodiles and so on. Believe me... the meat of carnivores is very ordinary, and some are even sour. But the rat meat tastes good when grilled!"

When Deng Kai heard that Zhou Shiwu even ate rats, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you don't need to go into such detail..."

Zhou Shiwu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but Gu Hao continued to be disgusted. He said, "An adult's mouth wants to eat anything, and the meat is naturally sour... It is said that the meat of a baby less than three years old tastes very good, because Children under the age of three are not polluted by the world, and the food they eat is relatively simple and clean.”

The more Deng Kai listened, the more disgusted he became. He retched for a long time and said, "The two of you must have had a grudge against me in your previous life, so you came to me in this life just to restrain me!"

Zhou Shiwu only laughed a few times when he heard this, but Gu Hao's expression changed slightly, and then he snorted coldly, "Wrong... You should have accumulated great virtue in your previous life to meet us."

Time soon came to night. After Song Jiang and his group ate something casually on the mountain, they took advantage of the moonlight to go back to Taohuawu. The situation in the village was basically the same as last night. After dark, there were no villagers around. Walking around in the village...

"Do you think they can sleep as soon as it gets dark?" Deng Kai whispered.

Song Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't know... Maybe I'm used to it."

"Sleeping from dark to dawn, this must have spoiled my brain!" Deng Kai couldn't help complaining.

The few people had discussed it before entering the village. The purpose of their trip was to go door-to-door to find out what ulterior secrets were hidden in the cylindrical house they had been hiding.

In view of the fact that there must be forty or fifty households in the whole village, in order to save time and make it easier to move, of course they couldn't move together as five people, so they were divided into three groups, Song Jiang and Meng Zhe were in one group, Deng Kai A group with Gu Hao, Zhou Shiwu a group by himself.

Song Jiang and Deng Kai are mediocre, and when they are in danger, they are basically meat buns beating dogs, so they have to follow a powerful boss, and Zhou Shiwu is a gangster, not to mention his skills, the most important thing is that he is alone It was indeed easier to get into the house... So the group of people divided into three groups not long after entering the village, and went all the way from the village head to the village tail.

This kind of cylindrical house in Taohuawu has a characteristic, that is, the windows are opened too high, and the possibility of ordinary thieves trying to break in through the windows is a bit small. Song Jiang stood under the window and looked up. The ground was at least three meters away, so he whispered to Meng Zhe, "Why don't you step on me and climb up?"

But who is Meng Zhe?He gave Song Jiang a disdainful look, then turned around and walked to the front door, stretched out his hand to grab the air lightly, and the closed wooden door slowly opened by itself... Seeing this, Song Jiang raised his head silently. Thumbs up, I gave Meng Zhe a thumbs up. It seems that the master is the master, and he still maintains the demeanor of the master when he does the thing of slipping the door and picking the lock!
After the two entered the house, they found that this kind of house used to be divided into upper and lower floors. The first floor was basically used to store some daily necessities and a place for cooking and eating. It can be guessed from the snoring sound from above. The first floor should be the family's bedroom.

At this time, Song Jiang glanced at the simple wooden ladder going upstairs, and felt that if he climbed up from here, he would definitely make a "creaking" sound, so he looked at Meng Zhe with a embarrassed face, and signaled him with his eyes: How about you Go up and give him a hug?
Meng Zhe glanced at him when he saw it, and jumped up with his legs bent. Then he gently grabbed the floor of the second floor with one hand, and slowly poked his head up to check the situation...

Two bedrooms are separated by curtains on the upper floor of this family. From the bottom of the curtains, it can be seen that there is a double wooden bed, which should be the "master bedroom", and the one next to it has a single bedroom. The bed should be the "children's room".

After Meng Zhe looked around, he didn't find anything wrong. When he glanced at the northwest corner of the second floor, a large wooden cage caught his attention...

Because the light in that place was very dark, he could only vaguely see a black figure squatting in the wooden cage. At first, Meng Zhe thought it was the big dog raised by the family, but after thinking about it, he felt wrong. Rural areas are used to watch homes and nursing homes. I have never seen any rural family that keeps dogs in wooden cages on the second floor! ?

Thinking of this, Meng Zhe tensed his hands and climbed up to the second floor. Then he walked slowly to the wooden cage, took a closer look inside, and found that it was a young man curled up in the wooden cage in……
