Chapter 117 Longevity Village 27
"Ouch!"
Yun Chu's right foot was tripped by a foreign object and he almost fell to the ground.
She rubbed her sprained right foot in pain, then shone the flashlight over there, trying to see what almost tripped her.
The next second, Yun Chu's expression suddenly became serious.
What tripped her was not a branch or stone, but a human bone!
The whole skeleton was leaning against a tree, and there was a pile of rags on the grass, which looked like the clothes the skeleton wore when he was alive.
Yun Chu looked at the clothes carefully. Judging from the color and pattern, they were clearly clothes for a young woman.
Moreover, in the grass nearby, Yun Chu also found a head flower that was no longer recognizable.
With these evidences, Yun Chu immediately determined that this was a female skeleton.
Yun Chu easily associated the inexplicable appearance of the female skeleton in the forest with a sacrifice.
Could this dead woman be the previous sacrifice?
How did she end up here? How did she die?
Yun Chu didn't have a shovel to bury the bones in the soil, so she could only cover the bones with the foreign objects she had left in her life, as a last bit of decency.
After doing all this, Yun Chu continued to move forward.
Unexpectedly, she found more female bones on the way.
After watching it many times, she could even tell which one died early and which one died late.
These bones are of various shapes, some are taller, some have large frames, and some have small frames.
The only difference is that they are all sacrifices in the sacrifice.
The so-called sacrifice is to drive these girls into the back mountains to fend for themselves.
But no one was willing to offer themselves as sacrifices to the mountain god; they all wanted to survive.
Behind them is the hometown that raised them, and also the executioner who drove them in.
Out of fear in their hearts they dared not look back,
Also in order to survive, they plunged into the unknown mysterious forest just to exchange for a glimmer of hope.
But as weak women, how could they survive in the forest without clothes and food?
Perhaps they also know that surviving is just a luxury, and they enter the forest without hesitation just to give themselves that hope.
Without exception, they eventually became those bones.
Some were attacked by wild beasts and lost limbs, some fell silently beside trees and died of starvation, and some could not face the desperate situation and chose to hang themselves on tree branches with their only remaining clothes.
That's why Yun Chu saw so many white bones along the way.
For more than seventy years, the so-called sacrifice was just to drive young women into the back mountains, and they never saw any mountain gods at all.
This is simply ridiculous!
Yun Chu wanted to beat up the village chief and all the villagers. Is this even humane?
Yun Chu sighed, collected all the bones in the surrounding area and placed them under a tree.
She currently has no tools to dig the grave, so she can only ask them to wait for a while.
After she finds Liuyun, she can activate the system, and then she can buy a shovel through the system mall to bury them.
Yun Chu finally found a dozen skeletons. More might be in other places, or they might be slowly buried by dust over time.
The road ahead was the same as before, with mossy rocks and occasional bugs. After a while, Yunchu got used to it.
As she was walking, she suddenly heard a loud sound of water.
Following the sound, Yun Chu saw a bright light in front of him.
She thought it was the exit, but when she walked out she found it was just an extended cliff.
The huge sound of water is the waterfall under the cliff.
Yun Chu soon discovered that this waterfall was the same one they had seen at the entrance to the village when they first entered the dungeon.
Standing on the cliff, Yunchu could easily see the entire Changshou Village.
But compared to the bustling village before, Changshou Village is now just an empty village.
Their greed killed Chang Lili, and they all died at Chang Lili's hands in the end.
After looking at the scenery for a while, Yunchu prepared to return to the forest to continue looking for Liuyun's trace.
The cold moonlight shines on the lake, making it sparkle.
Yun Chu, who had already left, glanced at the scene, but froze the next second. She discovered a scene that made her even more terrified.
At the source of a stream nearby, a few bones were curled up in the stream.
Because the human body is large and the river is narrow, the bones did not fall down the waterfall.
But the terrifying thing is that since the bones have been huddled in the river, coupled with the sun's rays and the passage of time, the body will slowly decompose.
The decomposed matter will fall down the stream from the waterfall and eventually fall into the stream that runs through Changshou Village.
You know, before using water dragons, villagers generally used stream water, so wasn’t what they were using "corpse water"?
No wonder those backpackers suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after drinking the stream water, and some even died.
It turned out that all this was caused by the villagers themselves.
How much hatred must these skeletons have felt in their lifetime to lie in the river and force themselves to drown?
They could have survived by just sitting up, but they persisted, only to take this step and deal a heavy blow to the villagers.
It seems that if Chang Lili hadn't taken revenge, these villagers wouldn't have lived long.
Drinking corpse water day after day, even if the amount is very small, the toxins in the body accumulated over time cannot be underestimated.
The longevity village is a tragedy. Selfishness, greed, feudal superstition and preference for boys over girls are destined to make this village short-lived.
As soon as he left the cliff and returned to the forest, Yun Chu saw clouds hovering in the air.
It seemed like she had been searching for a long time but it was all in vain, and in the end, the person came out on his own.
It's amazing that it still remembers its master.
Liuyun should be thankful that he is a mace. If it were Beibei, his butt would have been broken into pieces by now.
"You're running so fast without even looking back, don't you know I'm chasing you?
I walked in this broken forest for a long time to find you, and my legs are almost broken."
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and grabbed one of Liuyun's thorns.
Liuyun changed his usual melancholy and circled around Yunchu excitedly.
"Are you having a seizure?"
Yun Chu looked at Liu Yun strangely. How could someone be so happy after being scolded? Is he a masochist?
After circling Yunchu twice, Liuyun suddenly flew in one direction again, but this time the speed was much slower, obviously leading the way for Yunchu.
Yun Chu had been with Liuyun for a long time, so he naturally understood what it meant. Seeing Liuyun leading the way, he followed.
The roads in the forest are complicated, with countless forked paths, not to mention the heavy smog.
If Liuyun hadn’t appeared on his own initiative, Yun Chu might not have been able to find it.
After walking for a while, Yun Chu left the forest.
What catches your eye is a paradise on earth.
Purple fluorescent flowers bloomed on the side of the path, with butterflies of various colors flying around.
There was a small wooden house at the end of the path, and a man with a familiar figure was sitting on a wooden chair outside the house.
Yun Chu slowly walked forward and tried to see the man's face clearly.
The next second, the man turned his head and looked at Yun Chu: "Who are you? Leave quickly while I'm in a good mood, or stay and be my flower fertilizer."
Yun Chu's eyes widened. Wasn't this man the long-lost Yin Hui? !
