Although I have already guessed the situation in the house.

But Su Hewen still couldn't help asking: "What's going on in the house?"

Hanhan retracted her little feet in fear and huddled next to Su Bao.

The old woman's voice was full of grief and anger: "Sitting next to the bed in the room is this little girl. It doesn't look like it's daytime. There is only a layer of human skin, and she is gnawing on a piece of flesh and blood!"

Seeing that he was discovered, the human skin ran away with a whoosh and disappeared in the mountains and forests without a trace.

The old couple trembled and lifted the quilt, only to see that the bed was covered in blood and flesh. Only their son's skull and a few strands of hair were left...

Everyone's hair stood on end when they heard it, and the playboy shouted "exciting".

Su Bao asked: "Then, how did you catch her and pickle her in the sauerkraut jar?"

The old woman's voice changed from sorrow and anger to sinister and resentful.

"Our son is the only labor force in our family, so we, the old couple, point to our son... Now we have nothing, and no hope of life."

There is only resentment in their hearts. Of course they hate that they should not be greedy for gain, but it is precisely because of their greed for gain that they were too careless and killed their son, and the two elders cannot bear it.

This incident made everyone in the village aware of it, and some older people whispered in horror, saying that the human skin was a forest spirit whose name was Beauty Skin.

In the past, the wars in Bashu continued and countless people died. These resentful souls and obsessions condensed on a certain human skin and gradually turned into spirits.

They make a living by gnawing on human flesh and blood, especially the flesh and blood of young and strong men. They generally do not fight with people, but only eat the people they share the same pillow with and then run away immediately.

The old couple wanted to capture the beauty's skin and avenge their son.

But Beauty Skin never appeared again, the two of them got older and older, and the village, which was initially panicked, gradually returned to normal.

During this period, the old couple had no energy, and the crops they produced were not good. They were short of rice and noodles. They no longer dared to cook and eat vegetables. They could only grow some mustard greens and pickle sauerkraut, and cook porridge and sauerkraut to survive. Their old age was extremely miserable.

.

The old woman wished she could pickle the beauty's skin too. She was old anyway and had nothing to be afraid of.

"At that time, there was a young daughter-in-law in the village who had a quarrel with her husband-in-law. She was looking for life and death every day, and one day she hanged herself..."

At this time, Renpi snorted and interjected: "What do you mean by just hanging to death? The little daughter-in-law was originally immortal, but the old woman told her every day that there was nothing to live for in such a life, and it would be better to die."

My daughter-in-law’s suggestion of hurting her, saying that she would cry, make trouble, and hang herself, is known to everyone, so we can’t let her husband’s family bully her in vain.”

Under her instigation, the younger daughter-in-law actually hanged herself one day when she was about to hang herself.

When Su He asked how many people there were, he immediately thought of the village he just passed by. There was only one chair in the center of the house and the woman hanging from the beam...

Su Bao asked: "What then?"

The old woman hesitated and continued: "After the death of the little daughter-in-law of that family, her husband became a widower. In addition, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been quarreling, and people know that the mother-in-law of that family is not easy to get along with..."

Their family wanted to marry again, but naturally no one wanted to marry again.

"I will spread the news as hard as I can."

Beauty Pi is looking for young, strong men who don't have wives. Now that there is such a strong man in the village, the old couple are looking forward to attracting Beauty Pi.

"She is indeed here!" the old woman sneered: "After six years, she finally appeared again."

"She made a different excuse, saying she was betrayed by her parents' family and fled here... pretending to be pitiful."

"So that night when they were having their wedding, we stood guard outside their house. After nightfall, we heard a strange noise and rushed in. We tied her up with a rope soaked in black dog blood for many years..."

Everyone gasped, so brave!

Su Bao frowned and asked, "Is the second victim also willing to eat?"

Human Skin snorted: "Of course, if I hadn't been careful when I was eating flesh and blood, how could they have caught me?"

Su Bao: "..."

In other words, these two old men used other people's lives as bait to deliberately attract beauty skins, without caring about the lives of other people's sons.

She guessed right. This time it was Beautypi's turn to complain: "They arrested me, but the strong man died, leaving only half of his flesh and blood. His old parents went crazy, and his old mother crashed and died on the stone steps of the yard.

superior."

And Beauty Skin was not so easy to catch. After a struggle and a fight, the old men from both families died, leaving only the old woman who grabbed her and stuffed her into the pickle jar.

"The sauerkraut jar was soaked in black dog's blood. I couldn't resist after being stuffed in it."

She could only scream and push out, and the old woman also tried her best to push her down.

The two of them fought like this to the death, until the old woman was dead, but her hands were still pressing the human skin into the vat as if they had a will.

Day after day, year after year, more than a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and the old woman's hands gradually turned into ghosts and ghosts, unwilling to match her own resentment and continue to suppress the beauty's skin.

The blood of the black dog has dried up long ago, but the human skin is pressed by the white bone arm of the same ghost, and it can never come out. After more than a hundred years of starvation, it gradually loses its strength...

Later, this village experienced several generations, experienced the fall of the Qing Dynasty, rebirth in the new era, war, famine, plague, population migration...

Gradually only the old people were left, and gradually everyone died, leaving only this ghost village.

The village is weird, and no one comes to this mountain. Later, the new era came, roads were built, and people who were involved in construction projects wanted to live in the village temporarily, but weird things happened again. Gradually, the village was covered by mountain forests and weeds, and became

What it looks like today.

The abandoned village attracts wandering ghosts who pass by, and some lonely ghosts live here. The only things that remain unchanged are the old woman making pickled vegetables and the human skin in the pickled vegetable vat.

Oh, and there was also the little daughter-in-law who was encouraged to hang herself and her mother-in-law whose son died. The daughter-in-law fell on the beam and the mother-in-law sat at the door sluggishly.

At this point, Su Bao and the others have completely understood.

"Then where do we have three older brothers?" Su Bao asked.

The mysterious team has seven members and one captain. The captain Si Ye and the four members who were thrown out of the vat have been rescued, leaving three members who have not been found.
