Chapter 178 Baby Crying
"!!" Xie Wangyan suddenly saw the rows of mummies and almost exclaimed!
Fortunately, Ye Qingxue covered his mouth and said, "Shh."
Ye Qingxue held up the luminous pearl in her hand and took Xie Huanyan to look at the mummies standing in rows.
The mummies in front of me were almost all old people, and many of them were probably at the end of their lives. After turning into mummies, these corpses also became inexplicably hideous, with shriveled skin and grayish complexion.
Although the eyes of each corpse are closed, almost all the mummies are smiling.
In the deserted underground chamber, it seemed even more eerie and abnormal.
Xie Wangyan calmed down for a moment, then signaled Ye Qingxue to put down the hand covering his mouth. He glanced at the mummies - he found that these corpses were all wearing shrouds, and they seemed to be restrained by their descendants.
Thinking again of the custom in Sifang Town that once someone dies, his body must be kept in the ancestral hall for a month. It seems that these people have also been placed in the ancestral hall for a month.
But what makes people feel weird is not just the rows of mummies, but also the uncomfortable smiles on their faces.
But among all the mummies, there are almost no young men or women.
I don't know if only old people who died of natural causes can be put into this underground secret room, or because no young people died here naturally... Xie Wangyan remembered what the madman said.
He said that in this ancestral hall, if the corpse showed signs of decay and dripped onto the floor of the ancestral hall during the one-month suspension period, the filial sons and grandsons of the deceased would be asked to come and lick it clean.
And the reason why that butcher Zhang became a walking corpse was because he didn't follow the rules.
With retribution——
Butcher Zhang did not have any heirs.
He always felt as if he had caught some truth, but it was difficult to break the situation.
Ye Qingxue looked at these mummies for a moment. He held up the luminous pearl in his hand and moved forward. He tore the clothes of the first mummy in two or two strokes.
And on the body of this mummy, there are also scars that appeared on the corpses that died suddenly.
Ye Qingxue then found another one... After searching several in succession, Xie Yanyan found that there were still some mummies with no scars on their bodies.
"...I don't know if there is any connection between them."
Thank you for your nonsense.
Ye Qingxue put down the dagger in her hand and said, "Go back first."
As he spoke, he took Xie Wangyan and left the secret room some distance away from the village.
After the two of them met Meng Xiuyan on the ground, they talked to each other about the scenes underground——
"...Is it possible that none of the old men in Sifang Town were laid to rest?" Meng Xiuyan clicked his tongue, "In the end, they were all hidden in this secret room underground?"
"Besides, the soul-returning incense is not something that ordinary people can obtain."
Meng Xiuyan looked at the two of them, "Should we report this to Senior Brother Yanlu?"
Xie Huanyan was a little hesitant when he heard what he said. He was always worried that he would alert others. Maybe the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better. Before they got the key evidence and clues, it would be better for them to investigate in detail.
After the discussion is over for now.
A few people decided to leave the village and go to Sifang Town to investigate the homes where paper-tied people appeared in their dreams - they left in a hurry, maybe there would be some clues.
……
The three of them were walking in the village. As soon as they passed a place, they heard a scream.
Xie Wangyan was just about to go over to take a look when he was caught by Meng Xiuyan——
"Wait a minute..." Meng Xiuyan looked a little embarrassed, "I heard a sound... It seemed like the sound of a woman going through the pain of childbirth..."
Xie Wangyan listened carefully and found that this was indeed the case.
He looked towards the place where the sound came from and found that it seemed to be an ordinary family...
And after several screams in succession, because the monks had excellent ears, they all heard the faint sound of a baby crying.
It looks like she is indeed giving birth.
Thinking of this, Xie Wangyan breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a baby crying, which probably meant that the mother and child were safe.
A few people were preparing to leave again when they suddenly heard a woman's sobbing coming from the room... followed by a vague sound -
"...Be ruthless..."
"Husband...this is..."
"...What should we do..."
"Not as good as us..."
The voice was intermittent, and the content of the conversation was unavoidable.
Xie Wangyan subconsciously looked at Ye Qingxue beside him, and saw the other party suddenly said, "Go and have a look."
It was already late at night, and there was no one else here for the time being. The three of them carefully arrived near the house. The three of them landed behind the roof. Meng Xiuyan slightly lifted the tiles above his head, revealing a gap, which was just right. See the scene inside the house.
Xie Wangyan looked over intently.
I found a man and a woman inside. The man looked extremely anxious, while the mother who had just given birth was just sobbing softly while holding her infant baby.
Finally, the father snatched the baby from the mother's arms, opened the swaddling clothes, and took out a dagger from his arms.
He was about to stab the baby in his arms right before his eyes——
Xie Yanyan subconsciously clenched his hands, and just as he was thinking about how to stop this, he realized that the father was not trying to kill the baby, but directly cut off the extra foot on the belly.
The position of the foot is just above the umbilical cord.
After cutting off the extra foot on his belly, the father hurriedly covered the mouth of the crying baby, and then put the umbilical cord aside...
Before Xie Huanyan had time to think deeply, he saw someone in the distance seemed to be attracted by the crying of this family.
Several of them hurriedly replaced the tiles, quickly jumped off the roof, and then hid in the backyard of this family.
Before hiding in the backyard, Xie Wangyan found that several people who came to check were very familiar... They seemed to be old men he had met in Sifang Town before, and some of them were highly respected people.
Soon these people walked into this family's home.
The baby was still crying, but the mother had stopped crying.
Because they were slightly apart, they couldn't see clearly what was going on inside the house, and could only hear some conversations -
First there were congratulations from the old men, then the father's joy, and then an old man asked to see the child.
Of course my father didn’t mean to disagree...
"He looks quite strong." An old man said.
"...It's just the wound on my stomach...?"
The man quickly explained that he had lost touch when cutting the umbilical cord.
Then there were some congratulatory sounds, and after a while, the old men slowly left the house... until the group of old men in Sifang Town left.
Xie Wangyan found that the host and hostess of this family also started to pack things at home quickly, as if they wanted to escape from here.
