Chapter 557 The Reason for Leaving the Resentful Corpse Behind

Tang Yuanyuan followed Yan Qing out with the tightly bound corpse on his back. Old Man Chen stretched out his hand to stop them, "Where are you taking him? He didn't hurt anyone, you can't kill him!"

Chen Changsheng immediately held down the hand that Old Man Chen had extended, "Master, don't worry about my dad. Just deal with this monster as you see fit."

Chen Hao: "Yes, yes, yes, deal with it quickly and eliminate the harm to the people."

Wang Yongfang and Wang Yongshou, brother and sister, did not say anything, but the fear and anxiety on their faces were enough to express their thoughts.

"!!!" Old Master Chen glared at Chen Changsheng angrily. He was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, but from his expression, it could be seen that he cursed quite dirty.

Tang Yuanyuan carried the corpse, stopped, and turned around. The corpse's head passed in front of Mr. Chen, and the bloody face was facing Mr. Chen, less than ten centimeters away.

The strong visual impact made Mr. Chen subconsciously take two steps back. Chen Changsheng and Chen Hao, the father and son who were supporting him, were so frightened that their eyes widened and their legs went weak.

Wang Yongfang and Wang Yongshou were also close to the corpse and they took a few steps back in fear, fearing that the corpse would suddenly move and bite them.

"Old man, look at you, you are afraid of him, why do you keep him here?" Tang Yuanyuan complained, "You are here to feed him with your flesh and blood?"

"He doesn't even need to bite you. If he stays with you for too long, you will become a resentful corpse like him that eats people, including your son and grandson."

Mr. Chen: "I..."

"Stop being so abusive. Your brother's soul has already gone to the underworld. This is just a corpse. If you want to see him and feel really guilty, you can go to Shangyuan Village to look for our ancestor. If your brother hasn't been reincarnated, you might still be able to see him."

He can still see his elder brother! Old Man Chen's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Tang Yuanyuan in disbelief.

Chen Changsheng and Chen Hao: I can still see ghosts!!

Awesome Master!
Wang Yongshou said excitedly, "Yes, Uncle Chen, if you really want to see your elder brother, you can go to Shangyuan Village to find Master Yang!"

Wang Yongfang's eyes moved, and he looked at Yan Qing and Tang Yuanyuan in disbelief. They actually knew Master Yang from Shangyuan Village!
As the village chief, Shangyuan Village has been developing rapidly recently. She has heard about Shangyuan Village's deeds in various meetings, and naturally has also heard of the name of Master Yang of Shangyuan Village.

Maybe she didn't know how powerful the heads of Sanqing Palace were, but she must know how powerful Master Yang was, who helped develop Shangyuan Village.

Taoist Master Yan Qing and his friends know Master Yang, which means that what he said about helping to find the reason for the loss of the village’s wealth was not just talk!

Thinking of this, Wang Yongfang's heart was pounding and he couldn't hide his excitement.

Old Master Chen looked confused. What Master Yang?

Isn’t his elder brother right here? Where else can he see him?
Tang Yuanyuan continued, "If his body was used as a tool to harm others after his death, do you think he would be at peace?"

These two sentences touched Mr. Chen's heart. He looked sad, the corners of his lips twitched, but he couldn't say anything.

Yan Qing glanced at Mr. Chen calmly, then continued walking forward.

Tang Yuanyuan turned around and followed. The corpse started to turn, causing a gust of wind and a rotten stench to float in the air. Chen Hao almost passed out.

Old Master Chen looked at their backs as they left. He seemed to have aged many years in an instant, and his back became a little more hunched.

Brother and sister Wang Yongfang and Wang Yongshou hurried to catch up.

After they were far away, Chen Changsheng asked Old Man Chen, "Dad, what did the master mean when he said you felt guilty?"

Could it be possible that there was some unknown secret behind his uncle's death?

"I have never told anyone about this," Old Master Chen said in a trembling, hoarse voice, "I was the one who killed your uncle."

Chen Changsheng and his son Chen Hao: !!! His father (grandfather) killed his own eldest brother? !

They suspected there was something wrong with their ears.

Old Man Chen sighed. What happened decades ago was still vivid in his mind as if it happened yesterday and could not be forgotten.

Mr. Chen was only fifteen years old that year, at the age of being rebellious and naughty.

The day his eldest brother had the accident was the busy farming season, and everyone in the village was working in the fields.

In order to be lazy and not work, he pretended to have heatstroke and felt unwell and ran home to rest. In fact, he sneaked up the mountain alone to find wild fruits to eat.

His elder brother Chen Dachang was worried about his health, so he ran home to see him and got some heat-relief medicine from the village barefoot doctor.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, I encountered a house collapse and lost my life.

He, the man pretending to be sick, played in the mountains until the sun was about to set and then went back. When he returned, he saw a yard full of people, his parents crying out his and his elder brother's names in grief, the house collapsed into ruins, and his elder brother's body.

Seeing that he came back safe and sound, his mother hugged him and cried bitterly, and kept asking him where he had been.

The young Mr. Chen looked at his elder brother lying on the ground with his face smashed beyond recognition. His hands and feet felt cold, his mind went blank, and he couldn't utter a word.

He was obviously just being lazy and didn't want to work, but he didn't want to cause his elder brother to lose his life.

When his parents kept asking him why he came from outside, he didn't dare say that he was pretending to be sick and went to the mountains to play, for fear of being beaten and also afraid of taking the responsibility of indirectly causing his brother's death.

So he lied and said that he went to the mountain to help his brother find herbs, and indeed he had the herbs that his brother usually drank in his hand.

He had picked it on his way down the mountain and it accidentally became evidence of his lie.

His brother is weaker than him and needs to take medicine frequently.

His brother was worried about his illness and went home to see him, bringing some summer heat-reducing medicine.

The two brothers have a good relationship and always think about each other.

There was nothing wrong with this reason and excuse, and no one suspected that he was lying. All we could feel was that his brother had a bad fate.

Only he himself knows this.

This matter has been hidden in Mr. Chen's heart for decades, and he has never mentioned it to his parents or family.

So when Mr. Chen found out that the thief who stole the village poultry was his brother who came back from the dead, he was happy and excited.

He thought this must be a chance given to him by God to atone for his sins, so he secretly brought Chen Dachang back home when Chen Changsheng and his son were not paying attention.

The resentful corpse ate raw meat and did not recognize him. How could he not see these abnormalities?

Old Master Chen could naturally see it, but this secret that he had never told anyone had been weighing on his heart for decades, and he could hardly bear it anymore.

So he stubbornly believed that he was his elder brother, and that he had come back to life. He wanted to use his last days to compensate him and make up for the mistakes he had made, so that he would feel better.

Chen Changsheng and Chen Hao looked at Grandpa Chen with complicated expressions. They didn't expect that there was such a hidden story behind the death of his uncle (great-grandfather).

This incident could be considered a natural disaster, but if Mr. Chen had not been lazy and lied at the time, Chen Dachang would not have returned home at that time, and would not have happened to encounter the collapse of the house.

He didn't mean to do it, but it indirectly led to Chen Dachang's death.
