Chapter 32 Food Chain!
Branches on the moon.

The sky was not as clear as expected after the rain.

A gray cloud floated from nowhere, obscuring the moonlight.

in the village.

When Zheng Xiu followed a few steps, the doors that were secretly opened closed again in a blink of an eye.

Obviously.

The existence of the "Night Butcher" is no secret in the village.

Fengbei knew it, the village chief knew it, everyone knew it.

They acquiesced to the existence of the late night butcher.

The villagers and the Butcher of the Night are connected in some tight way.

Passing by the door of the village chief's house, the place where they used to drink soup is now also closed tightly. After being scared away by Wang Cangyun, the village chief slipped back home and hid.

Wang Cangyun, the young man, and his subordinates all disappeared during Zheng Xiu's attack on Fengbei.

They really left?
Zheng Xiu was surprised.

Soon, he was a little disappointed again. Mr. Zheng thought that Wang Cangyun would be his help in killing the butcher in the middle of the night, but in the end he paid by mistake.

The two walked along the village fence to the east of the village. The sound of the gurgling water was very clear in the silent night.

Zheng Xiu walked towards the river.

"Don't go there."

Zheng Xiu turned his head and smiled: "What's in the river?"

Xiao Fengbei hesitated for a moment, then said: "Fish... carp, there are many, many, white carp."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Fengbei quickly ran into the woods.

Zheng Xiu looked at the back of Feng Bei running away. Although the little girl said she was willing to save her life, she seemed to be resigned. Her words and deeds seemed to say, if you don't keep up, I will leave you alone and leave you to fate.

After thinking about it, Zheng Xiu remembered the horror of the "Late Night Butcher" that night. His trumpet had reached the full level in repeated experiences, and there was really no reason to fight the "Midnight Butcher".

It's better to take advantage of this start and find the real customs clearance route.

When you come to Linshen, there is a small slope, which slopes downwards, and at the end is a small river.

Under a big tree that is as thick as two people hugging each other, there is a natural recess. Someone built a simple shed with branches, like a simple home.

【Investigation】.

Zheng Xiu arrived here for the first time and missed a scout.

Reconnaissance rarely fails.

Come again.

The investigation was a small success.

【You follow Fengbei here. 】

[You observe carefully and find that the leaves on the branches used to build the shed have long withered, as if for a while. 】

[You found some small animal remains and dead cores of wild fruits nearby. 】

That's all for the information.

[Intuition] It wasn't triggered, and Fengbei brought him here, so there shouldn't be any danger.

and many more.

Zheng Xiu understood it, and said in surprise, "Is this all you eat?"

Feng Bei nodded silently.

Zheng Xiu asked again: "Bai Li, what's the problem?"

Feng Bei shook his head lightly, lifted a few branches, and signaled Zheng Xiu to hide in: "Don't come out."

Zheng Xiu went in.

The small nest accommodates Feng Bei's body easily, but Zheng Xiu's body, Zheng Xiu feels like a big grizzly bear curled up in a chihuahua kennel.

Seeing that Zheng Xiu had finally squeezed in, Feng Bei pursed his dry lips, and warned again: "You... don't come out."

"The white carp..." Zheng Xiu looked at Xiao Fengbei's thin figure, and said the terrible guess in his heart: "Did they grow up eating white meat?"

White meat refers to human flesh.

Fengbei's thin body trembled slightly, and he walked back towards the village, and his figure disappeared into the night soon after.

Zheng Xiu raised his head and looked at the sky.

He had tried squatting in the woods and was struck to death by thunder in the clear sky, and now he was hiding under a tree, it was hard for him not to think about it.It's just that the sky gave Zheng Xiu a strange feeling at the moment, the gray color was like clouds and fog, as if this Baili Village was covered by a gray hood.

At this time, Zheng Xiu remembered that in his heart, the appearance of Baili Village on the map was wrapped in a shell that looked like a preserved egg, just like the current situation.

ooh-

In the forest, a wolf howl suddenly sounded, but the wolf howl stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly strangled the neck.

There was a sound of fluttering wings in the sky, and it was a group of panicked birds, scurrying around indiscriminately.

Zheng Xiu didn't see it from the angle of view. Those birds flew into the air, and they all twitched at the same time. They fell straight to the ground and died in the forest.

"There is movement! 'That thing' is dispatched!"

Although it was impossible to see clearly in the dark, the strange movements around him from time to time made Zheng Xiu aware of something unusual.

He slept in the village house that night, and it happened around this time.

Zheng Xiu is still unable to confirm whether the beast-like figure is a human or a ghost—but from an objective point of view, he would rather believe that it is a lunatic, otherwise it will be difficult to explain why the villagers live with him.

What does it have to do with Xiaofengbei?
Is it her father?
With the development of ghosts so far and Zheng Xiu's continuous exploration, Zheng Xiu feels that he is very close to the truth.

But he didn't come here for decryption this time, but simply speed pass.

This place is just a phantom of 20 years ago, and the past cannot be repeated.

Zheng Xiu didn't really travel to the past, he can even switch to reality at any time now, hang up the phone here, and squat safely until dawn, this dungeon is considered to be cleared.

Never thought it would be so simple.

But thinking about it again, how much effort did Zheng Xiu put in for this?

First came the Four Great Bandit Families, Disease, Heavy Rain, Commander Wang, and finally Feng Bei.

"I, Mr. Zheng, was able to speed pass, not because of luck, but because of my own hard work!"

Zheng Xiu sighed and gladly accepted the admiration for himself.

No matter what he did, the "blood massacre of the whole village of Baili Village" is a certain "history". The massacre of 26 families in the whole village is a foregone conclusion.

But in fact.

Even if Zheng Xiu didn't go to witness it with his own eyes.

Regarding the "Baili Village Tragedy" that happened 20 years ago, the causes and consequences have been vaguely clarified.

The background is that bandits are rampant, and the villagers are poor and hungry.

Then, for some reason, a white carp grew in the small river in the east of the village.

The villagers started to fish for a living, but the carp growing in a small river cannot be the main food supply all year round, and it is obvious that they will be caught one day.

Immediately after that, someone discovered that if white meat was fed to the fish, the fish would multiply quickly.

The lunatics started killing people to feed the fish, and the villagers ate the fish, and a new food chain was born.

continues to this day.

Although this conclusion is very horrifying, but in that world, black shops on the side of the road can ambush ghosts, and nothing is impossible.

Even though the lunatic was crazy, he wasn't completely insane, as one could guess from the living conditions of the residents.

And when it gets dark, all the villagers in the village will go home quickly and close the door, apparently fearful of the madman's late-night haunts.

It is very likely that Baili Village once killed many bandits. The bandits knew that this place was dangerous, but they did not dare to provoke it. A delicate balance was reached.

Zheng Xiu shook his head suddenly, a sense of numbness rushed to his scalp when he woke up.

No, there are not many people on that official road, and it is very likely that bandits also depend on the "cannibal white carp" produced in this village for a living!
Thinking hard!
Zheng Xiuwo changed his posture in the tree hole, and was shocked. It was hard to imagine that in the troubled times 20 years ago, in an inconspicuous corner of Dagan Land, such an outrageous thing could happen.

A total of 26 people from 46 families died tragically overnight.

and many more.

26 households?

Zheng Xiu closed his eyes, and the familiar villages flashed in his mind one by one.

He starts counting.

One, two, three, four... 26!

Including "Feng's Butcher Shop", there are exactly 26 households in total!
"Everyone dies?"

"Hasn't this food chain existed for a long time?"

"Why is it on this night?"

"Is this an illusion of the past, or am I now living in the past 20 years ago as 'Zheng Shan'?"

"If this was 20 years ago."

"There is no such person as Wang Cangyun in the current dynasty, which means that they probably died here!"

"If it's the latter, would it be because of the appearance of 'I' that they killed them?"

"Or was it the Treasure King's fault?"

"This is just an incarnation fabricated out of thin air!"

"An 'avatar' that doesn't exist!"

"So it must be the Treasure King's fault!"

"I see!"

"What does it have to do with me!"

Zheng Xiu shook his head repeatedly in the dark.

After a while.

Squeak - squeak - squeak -

In the distance, in the silent forest, there was a sharp and piercing sound.

It sounded like a heavy metal object being dragged slowly on the ground.
