Chapter 2: The Mysterious Village (3) Human Skin Envelope Green Beans

  I hastily turned around, and on the table behind me was a bottle of nitroglycerin pills. I picked it up and handed it to Old Jin, who swallowed several after which his eyes closed slightly, lying quietly for a while before letting out a long breath.

  "His heart has been bad, once excited...” Old Jin's words had just reached this point when a loud "bang" was heard from the outside room. My eyes met Old Jin's, and then he immediately jumped down from the kang, lifted the door curtain, and a burning smell rushed into my nostrils.

  Alas, I knew that Jin Douzi was cooking, but those who didn't know would have thought he was secretly manufacturing military explosives. However, it's strange to say that when Jin Douzi went to serve the meal, he suddenly vanished without a trace. I followed him down from the kang and was walking out when Old Jin Tou rushed into the house holding Jin Douzi, quickly bringing out that peculiar knife and a bamboo basket. From it, he picked out several larger, bluish-green frogs, rapidly peeling off their skin to reveal tender flesh. I have tried this thing before, although its appearance is quite revolting, but it can be considered delicious!

  But unexpectedly, Old Jin Tou didn't feed the meat of the raccoon dog to Jin Douzi, instead he carefully picked out two black things from the white flesh and put them into Jin Douzi's mouth, then threw the meat aside.

  After a few minutes, Jin Douzi's body suddenly shook violently, and then his whole body was shaking intensely. He suddenly stood up, like he had been possessed by a evil spirit, with his head lowered and his body trembling uncontrollably.

  Old Jin took off his shoes in a hurry, pried open the golden bean's mouth, and then stuffed the shoe into its mouth. I understand this point. Generally, people who have epilepsy are prone to biting their tongues off, holding the shoe can avoid biting the tongue.

  Jin Douzi's body convulsed for about ten minutes, then suddenly lay down again. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, saying: "Grandpa, is he here again?"

  Old Jin nodded and said to Jin Douzi: "Go, go rest in that house!"

  Jin Douzi listened carefully and his body recovered to normal, walking lightly into another room. Old Jin Tou simply tidied up and returned to the house saying: "Alright, I'll continue telling you about my daughter!"

  I nodded, although I was a bit hungry now, but that story was really too attractive.

  I saw her lying on a mound, with a black shadow behind her. Although I didn't know what it was, I felt that it was definitely not something good. I rushed over and pulled out a short knife used for hunting. The thing seemed to have noticed me, and as soon as I rushed over, it disappeared without a trace. That's how I carried my daughter back home. When she woke up, it was already past 11 at night. She kept shouting that she was thirsty, so I quickly got Tang Jun to boil some hot water. After drinking several pots of water, she fell asleep again. My heart was filled with unbearable pain as I watched Yingzi suddenly fall down in front of me, while guarding our newborn baby, Jindou. But since that night, strange things started happening at my house." Old Jin said, pouring himself a cup of wine and drinking it all in one gulp.

  "Huh? What's going on?" I curiously widened my eyes, Old Jin glanced at me and filled the cup in front of me with wine, poured himself a cup as well, raised his glass, and downed it in one gulp. My eyes remained fixed on Old Jin, picked up the glass and also finished the wine in one go. It was strange that this wine had a faint fragrance, which was very unusual and couldn't be described in specific terms, but felt incredibly refreshing.

  "After Hongying fell asleep, I also went back to my room and poured myself a glass of wine, preparing to calm down and rest. Unexpectedly, Tang Jun couldn't sleep either, and after hearing about our ordeal, he was worried sick about Hongying's safety. Alas, wasn't I too?

  Saying this, he took another deep breath and continued: 'It must have been around midnight when suddenly I heard a faint "drip-drip" sound coming from outside my window. The sound got closer and closer, and soon I could hear the sound of drums and cymbals getting louder, heading in the direction of my house. Both Tang Jun and I held our breaths, wondering what was happening outside.' Old Jin said this while tightly gripping his wine bottle."
