Chapter Thirty-Six Past Events (Part Two)

  "Isn't he in college?" asked Yanzhong "Why is he at the threshing ground?"

  "Alas, that child is filial but also very stubborn." Eldest sister sighed. "Although Mrs. Cui from the Cui family makes a living by embroidering flowers, after all, farmers have to do some physical labor. Usually, everyone takes turns to help out with the chores, but Cui Meng grew up to be 15 years old and refused to let others help him, insisting on being self-sufficient. In fact, that child was very thin, with hardly any flesh on his body, where did he get the strength from? That year during the busy farming season, he took leave from university to come back and help with the farm work, and insisted on going up the mountain with the men to dry the wheat. The village head had originally arranged for 12 people to go, but was persuaded by him and let him go. As a result of his going, Mrs. Cui from the Cui family went crazy and ran away, and until now, no one knows where she is, whether she's dead or alive."

  "What's going on?"

  "No one knows what happened that day. The night before, when I went up the mountain to deliver food, everyone was fine and said that this year's harvest was good and the weather was also good, and we could come down from the mountain in a few days. But the next morning, when I and the younger sister from the neighboring family went up the mountain again..." The older sister suddenly stopped here, her body couldn't help but tremble with fear, thinking about what happened back then still had a great impact on her.

  The swallow winds did not dare to urge, although anxious in their hearts, they still waited patiently. After a while, the elder sister continued: "When we arrived at the halfway up the mountain, we saw a pile of wheat in front of us and laid out a long mat on top of it. All the men lay down together in a row, looking like they were sunbathing from afar. The girl next door even said that these men were really lazy, taking advantage of the opportunity to sleep. They didn't even smell the aroma when we brought them food and get up. But - when we took a closer look, we were almost scared to death on the spot! All these men were dead. Each person had their head cut off and neatly placed beside them."

  "Cut off? How can you prove that no one reported it?" Yanfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that there would be such a brutal case in the two-stage mountain, but he had studied countless big cases since his police school days. However, he had never heard of this case possibly being concealed by the villagers themselves, which is very common in remote mountainous areas.

  The elder sister nodded in confirmation of Yanfeng's judgment that this matter had never been reported to the police.

  "We two ran down the mountain like crazy to find the village chief. The village chief was also panicked and hurriedly brought people up to see the result, only to find that these men's necks had very flat cuts, as if they were beheaded with one knife, but there was no wound on their bodies. The wooden house was clean as if no one had lived in it before, and there was not a single drop of blood on the corpses, as if all the blood had been sucked dry!"

  No blood? Vampire? The more Yanzhi listened, the stranger it sounded. Looking at Big Sister's expression, she didn't seem to be lying either. But how was this possible? No matter how powerful a killer was, silently and effortlessly killing thirteen strong laborers would be difficult. Moreover, they were all killed with one knife stroke without any bloodstains! Even if the killer could cast illusions like Wula and Cheese, it was still too strange that not a single drop of blood had flowed out!

  "There's another thing," the elder sister continued. "All the men were drained of blood, with no shortage of arms or legs. But Cui Meng was miserable, I don't know if it was because some wild beast came at midnight. His body was gone, leaving only his head behind. When his mother saw him, she fainted on the spot. After waking up, she didn't care about anyone and just held her son's head, not crying, and walked down the mountain step by step. Later, no one ever saw her again."

  This situation caught Yan Feng's attention because the people in this case kept saying that they wanted to find the body. Is there a connection between this mysterious Cui Sao and her son Cui Meng, who lost his body? But then who killed the men in the village overnight? What was the reason? What method? What motive? And why did they take away Cui Meng's body? Was it really taken away by wild beasts? Why would so many strong men not be taken away, but instead a weak and thin young scholar like Cui Meng was taken away?

  "What else happened afterwards?"

  The village had already been unlucky enough with this kind of thing happening, but it was just the wife of the Chui family who couldn't think straight. But what's even more unfortunate is that the youngest daughter of the village chief, Xiao Lan, also lost her mind. This girl and Chui Meng had always been in love, and the village chief had said that once Chui Meng graduated from college, he would let them get married. Now that Chui Meng was dead, Xiao Lan became muddled-headed and said she wanted to go up the mountain to dig out a beast's den and bring back Chui Meng's body, so he wouldn't be left without a complete corpse. Everyone was busy with the funeral and finding gods and goddesses to drive away evil spirits, but no one paid attention to what this 17-year-old girl said, thinking she was just talking nonsense because of her grief. But unexpectedly, she really took her yellow dog up the mountain and didn't come back for a day and night. The yellow dog came back alone, and the village chief became anxious and let the yellow dog lead the way to organize people to go up the mountain to find them. Because the village chief was usually kind to people, all the men in the village volunteered to go together. They searched for two days but didn't come back. The women in the village thought that with all the men together, even if there were monsters, they wouldn't be afraid. But they really didn't come back, not a single person came back! Twenty years have passed and still no one has returned!

  "Let's mourn, sister-in-law. I'll take care of this and find out the truth." Yanzhong didn't know how to comfort her, so he just expressed his determination to clarify the facts. "But haven't you organized people to search for him?"

  "In just a few days, we saw the big yellow dog running back alone again, but this time it died as soon as it reached the edge of the village. At that time, everyone panicked and went to report to the government in the county town, wanting to bring the men back. But for some reason, there was a heavy rainstorm that month, which flooded everything away. For three years afterwards, we searched intermittently but couldn't find even a single hair from them. This made everyone believe what the gods and goddesses had said: it was the mountain god who recruited the yin soldiers to take the men away. If they wanted to let them be reincarnated, they would have to guard the yin energy for their whole lives. Therefore, families with boys in the village all sent them to live with relatives nearby, leaving only women to guard the village. They also buried all the men's clothes and shoes at the back of the village, except for the twelve who died earlier. It was said that this way, they wouldn't have trouble finding a place to reincarnate."

  "What happened to those four students ten years ago?"

  "They want to go up the mountain to pick medicine, we reminded them that they can't go up the mountain, but these kids don't listen." The elder sister sighed: "Especially those two little lovers holding hands and wanting to jump into the fire pit, no one can stop them." The elder sister mentioned Wula and Song Jian, completely forgetting that Yan Feng had said that one of the four people was his girlfriend.

  Yan Feng didn't know what to make of these words. Last night, Nai Qie hadn't lied, the first to betray was Wu La Song Jian, as her determined pursuer had already won her heart, so why did she still cling to him? Was it love or possessiveness? But this couldn't make him feel any better, he should have been nicer to Wu La, with her current state, or maybe he also had some responsibility.

  He came here to investigate the case of mistaken corpse, but unexpectedly got entangled in another bizarre matter. However, he can't be impatient and must take it one step at a time, first solving the mystery of the misplaced corpses, then investigating what led to the strange deaths of those thirteen people that year. Of course, the top priority is to rescue Linglong.
