Chapter 385: Hurting People and Injuring of Themselves

Meitang Village is secluded from the world, and the villagers are self-sufficient. They also pay great attention to health preservation, so most people here live long lives.

Meitang Village abides by ancient teachings and has an unwritten rule regarding the appointment of new witches and old men. They can only take office if there have been no minor deaths, young and middle-aged people dying, or elderly people dying within six months.

To put it simply, only if no one dies in the village within half a year can it mean that God recognizes this person as the witch. Otherwise, either a successor must be replaced or another half year must be waited.

It is said that this situation rarely happens, and most of the witch elders take office step by step. Of course, there are unexpected things. There are records of replacing the witch elders in the village annals.

The clan leader came forward and tried to persuade Aunt Tian earnestly, using the future of the entire village as a bargaining chip, and asked her to hide Dayu's death.

At first Aunt Tian definitely disagreed, and even said emotionally that this was a clear sign from God, do you still want to go against God? Aren’t you afraid of being punished by God?

The clan leader spoke earnestly and told Aunt Tian the truth.

It was unrealistic to wait another half year for the succession or to change the candidate for Wu Lao. The old Wu Lao had passed away, and the village could not live without Wu Lao for a day. Moreover, of the two sons of the old Wu Lao, the younger son suffered from a strange disease and could not take on the responsibility.

"I knew then that the clan leader kept saying that he was doing this for the good of the village, but in fact he was in cahoots with Wu Lao." Auntie Tian sneered, "If he really wanted to do this for the good of the village, he shouldn't have gone against the will of heaven, and he shouldn't have ignored the fact that Wu Lao's second son had a strange disease."

The old witch designated the next witch candidate. The villagers would not know in advance, but as the village chief, he would know it. Auntie Tian knew the truth because of Dayu. The old witch's second son had a strange disease, which was most likely related to the current witch.

The clan leader is obviously covering up for the current clan leader.

At that time, Auntie Tian didn't want to obey, and thought about fighting to the end, and even wanted to die with Wu Lao. But she soon realized that she was weak and her arms could not twist her thighs. If she fought head-on, she would not only fail to avenge Dayu, but would also most likely cause Dayu to be wronged.

"My disappointment and disillusionment with Meitang Village began from that time," said Auntie Tian. "I couldn't show it too obviously in front of the clan leader and the witch elder. I couldn't let them know that I knew the truth. Dayu had already died with his eyes open. I could only pretend to be crazy and stupid as a temporary measure to let Dayu be buried in peace first."

It was the patriarch’s consent.

If Aunt Tian agrees not to announce Dayu's death and claims that Dayu was just out, then Dayu can be buried in the cave.

Cave burial is the highest form of burial in Meitang Village. Those who can be buried in caves are all authoritative and respected people in Meitang Village over the years. With the protection and blessing of heaven, their bodies will remain intact for a long time and they will be reborn into a better family in the next life.

Most villagers are cremated after their death.

In addition to high-standard cave burials, Meitang Village has had cremation for a long time. The fate of ordinary people is also to return to dust in the end.

After hearing what Auntie Tian said, Hang Si suddenly realized. Before, they thought that the cave was the final resting place of all the people in Meitang Village, so they could not see any graves when they entered the village. But if they think about it carefully, although Meitang Village has a small population, it has a long history. How could there be so many caves for the deceased to stay?
It turns out that being buried in a cave after death is the greatest honor for Meitang Village.

"Later I decided to join forces with him." Aunt Tian looked up at Duan Yi.

"Maybe in your eyes he has done all kinds of evil things and is unforgivable, but to me, none of this matters. I am weak, and the people in the village will not offend the clan leader and the witch elder to help me. I can only rely on external forces."

The clan leader's favoritism and inaction made Aunt Tian completely lose her support and hope. She was even more certain that Tian Dayu's death was not only related to Wu Lao, but even the clan leader knew about it.

If they want to keep it secret, this is the only way.

"They tried to find out how much I knew about what happened back then, but because everyone in the village thought Dayu was out of the village, they paid extra attention to me, so they didn't dare to do anything to me."

Hang Si felt a chill on his back when he heard this. If what Auntie Tian said was true, then since Tian Dayu was murdered, Auntie Tian has been walking on thin ice every day.

Nian Baixiao was puzzled, "Meitang Village is isolated from the world, why did you join forces with this guy?"

Duan Yi frowned and glanced at Nian Baixiao. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the three words "this guy".

After Nian Baixiao asked this question, he understood it on his own and said, "I can understand that. You have traveled thousands of miles to recognize your relatives, so you should know exactly how to enter and exit Meitang Village. Even if you are a fool, you can do this smoothly."

"You're looking for death!" Duan Yi got so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Nian Baixiao.

Nian Baixiao fell backwards.

He fell down, and didn't rush to sit up. Instead of being angry, he looked like he was smiling.

Hang Si knew clearly that he was intentionally provoking Duan Yi.

It is certainly scary for a murderer to be extremely cruel, but what is even scarier is that he is extremely calm and has a very solid mental quality.

This was the impression Duan Yi gave them at the beginning, he was able to take every step carefully and thoughtfully.

But gradually they discovered that perhaps Duan Yi was not as indestructible as they had imagined.

The fact that he could go to Meitang Village already meant that he had a weak spot.

For someone who longs for a father so much, family affection may become the knife that can kill him.

So it makes sense that he didn't hold a grudge against Aunt Ueta.

Nowadays, apart from Duan Yi himself, Aunt Tian is the only person in the world who has a relationship with his father. It can't be said that he loves his father so much, but he does have some reasonable feelings for her.

In addition, the two of them had a common interest relationship.

For Aunt Tian, ​​the desperado Duan Yi is the most powerful assistant. He is an outsider and is willing to take risks. Having two more lives on his hands is nothing to him.

For Duan Yi, Meitang Village is the best place to take action because of the right time, place and people. The strong magnetic field can shield Lu Nanshen's proud hearing ability.

Now Hangsi's analysis is more thorough.

What does it mean to solve the problem silently? I'm afraid this is the situation we are facing now.

He was skeptical before, but now Hang Si is sure that Duan Yi is well aware of Lu Nanshen's multiple personality disorder, otherwise why would he choose such a place.

The magnetic field here is the perfect burial place for Lu Nanshen. He will be trapped in a world of multiple personalities and unable to get out. This is Duan Yi's careful choice.

"Duan Yi, you racked your brains to do all this, but what's the result?" Hang Si sneered, "You're just buried here with us. You haven't even thought about your own escape route. Is this revenge?"

Nian Baixiao and Hang Si echoed each other, "You can think of this step at the top, right? What kind of words are you talking about? Oh, hurting others 800 times and hurting yourself 1,000 times. If it were a high-end player, he would have fled before the avalanche came."
