Chapter 70 Wugu Village (End)

The commotion on their side finally alarmed the village chief and the surrounding villagers. Without a doubt, the village chief rushed to the front and was the first to arrive.

Just like Fu Yuqing, the voice had already arrived before he arrived: "How dare you break into our secret building! This is too much! This is too disrespectful to the dead and our ancestors!"

But when he ran over and saw the scene in front of him, he flapped his wings like a duck with its neck strangled, and then there was no sound.

Villagers from the surrounding area came over one after another. Seeing this, Fu Yuqing immediately pointed at the basement and asked, "Village Chief, can you explain to us what's going on?"

“So many dead people!”

"That's, that's someone raising a Gu?!"

"It's Xue Ligu. Xue Ligu is actually raising Gu in the dark building!"

He Chunhui laughed. He seemed to find it very funny. He laughed complicatedly, then laughed several more times. He laughed so hard that tears almost came out. "You still think she is raising Gu. You can press her as much as you want about anything related to raising Gu."

"Doctor He?!"

"Doctor He, why are you here?"

"You didn't leave?"

He Chunhui said: "I left, and I hated myself for leaving. I went to find someone to save her, and when I came back I saw her dead on the Fengyu Bridge."

Fu Yuqing immediately grasped the key point, "You said you found someone to rescue her, you know what happened to her!"

He Chunhui hugged the black cat and smiled, "Yes, I know, I know what she went through."

When I first saw her, she was wearing a plain white dress, with her long hair casually tied behind her. She was sitting under the stilt house pounding medicine. When she heard the sound and turned around, a gust of wind happened to blow on the mountain. Her hair brushed against her silent eyes, and bamboo leaves fell on her sleeves. She looked like a demon who had been practicing in the mountains for a hundred years and was ignorant of the world.

It was a fleeting glimpse during those peaceful days, and he would never have imagined what this woman, who made him stop in her tracks at first sight, had experienced.

He had originally planned to stay in Wugu Village for only a week, but she dragged it out for a week, then another week, then another month, and even wanted to drag it out for a lifetime.

It was not until he expressed this thought that he sensed the anger and despair beneath her calm.

Until he found strange bugs on Liu Bo's body.

Only then did he realize that she was not a monster brought up by the beautiful mountains and rivers, but a poor person trapped by this mountain and this village.

Only then did he realize what was behind this village that seemed to have many simple and honest villagers.

He Chunhui said: "You said that Uncle Liu was kind-hearted and adopted Xue Ligu, who he picked up? But Xue Ligu was trafficked to Wugu Village."

A villager immediately said: "Who would buy a girl? Most people buy a boy!"

He Chunhui said: "Because boys can't be used to practice Gu, when you saw the Gu worm, weren't you all suspicious of women?"

He Chunhui continued, "You say Liu Boren is a good man, but he even raised a sickly girl? But Xue Ligu was tortured by him and became sick."

Another villager said, "Doctor He, how can you say that about Uncle Liu? What evidence do you have?"

"The evidence is right here." Doctor He pointed at the basement of the dark building that was exposed at an angle. "These are the girls Liu Wenfeng killed. He practiced Gu on humans in this dark basement. Xue Ligu was the only girl who survived. She had been a Gu worm her whole life. It's ridiculous that you treated her as a Gu woman!"

He Chunhui will always remember the bitterness on her face when he told her that he wanted to take her away and marry her.

She said, "Doctor He, I may not be able to give birth to a healthy child, just like Rosary, are you still willing to let me be your wife?"

Deep in her heart without her realizing it, even she herself considered herself to be a [蝦]. That was a consciousness that was deeply rooted in her bones and blood since she was a child and grew up with her. She was just a [蝦] raised by humans in a dark basement, no different from a rosary or a golden silkworm.

Even though she had read so many books and understood a lot of truths and pains.

Lin Xiang, who had just heard the noise and ran over behind the village chief, approached Xia Bai and asked him, "Xia Bai, what is a human Gu?"

It's not like he hadn't done his homework and read a lot of information. He knew what a cat ghost Gu, a golden silkworm Gu, and a snake Gu were...but he had never seen a human Gu.

Xia Bai: "Golden Silkworm Gu is a kind of insect Gu. The main targets of insect Gu are various poisonous insects. If you don't understand human Gu, try replacing [golden silkworm] with [human]. The main target of human Gu is human."

Replace [Golden Silkworm] with [Human]?

How do I change this?

How can this be changed?

Lin Xiang looked at the white bones in the basement of the dark building, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps.

Is this what he thought? These girls were being raised here like poisonous insects, and just like the poisonous insects in a jar, only one could survive and become the final human poison.

Those rag dolls buried by Xue Ligu under the stilt house were her former companions in this dark basement.

Several players looked at the black cat and saw that the black cat was also looking at the basement. The animal's eyes showed no emotion, and it seemed that what it saw was not a corner of hell, but an ordinary room.

She spent many, many years in that room.

She could no longer remember her childhood memories, she only remembered that she lived in a very high place and carried a red crossbody kitten bag. The bag accompanied her to Wugu Village, to the dark basement of Wugu Village.

There are a few skinny children with dull eyes and a lot of insects and snakes here.

Since then, this place has become the darkest yet vivid memory in her life.

At that time, many villagers called the dark building "Yi Zhuang". This name came from the fact that several decades ago, many people died of malaria in Wugu Village, and there was no time to deal with the situation. Some people did not want to cremate their dead family members immediately, so they stored the bodies here.

At that time, Liu Wenfeng was the man who guarded the village.

But later on, apart from the deceased elderly people waiting for their children to return to the village, there were no more corpses here. There were some tablets enshrined here, but no one came to worship except on Qingming Festival.

Liu Wenfeng started raising Gu here. Yes, he is a Gu master.

Others say that only women can learn the art of witchcraft, but he said that this is not true. Women are yin in nature, so they are more suitable for raising witches and being witches.

He relied on raising Gu to harm many people in the village and also gained a lot of things. But he was unwilling to give up. In the dark building, he had a darker and more vigorous desire, and he wanted to raise a human Gu.

In this basement, there are girls who were lost from Wugu Village, girls he stole, and girls he bought.

He told them that they were poisonous insects, and also told them what poisonous insects were and how they should live. The simplest thing was to imitate those poisonous insects and survive by eating them.

When Liu Wenfeng was not around, they leaned against each other, holding hands to resist the darkness and poisonous snakes. When Liu Wenfeng was around, when they were the hungriest, they tore each other apart to grab the poisonous insects and each other's flesh to eat.

One by one the girls died, and the nights grew colder.

Finally, she was left alone.

While she was waiting for her death alone, someone broke into the basement, brought her out, and let her see the sunlight again.

"How, how could it be?"

"No, Uncle Liu would not do such a thing."

"Village chief, village chief, please speak!"

The villagers looked at the village chief, only to find that he had squatted down with his hands covering his head at some point.

He Chunhui also looked at the village chief and asked him: "Village Chief Liu, how long are you going to cover up for your father? You already knew it, didn't you? It was you who brought her out of the basement that year."

All the players were stunned, and the most surprised was Lin Xiang. He had always believed that the village chief was a bad guy, but he didn't expect that it was he who brought Xue Ligu out and did a good thing.

The village chief hit his head repeatedly, his voice hoarse, "But, he is my father, the father who raised me and taught me!"

"So, for his own sake, you allowed the villagers to frame her and allowed them to let her die in the sun? Did you regard her as a stain and evidence of your highly respected father's crime, and wished that she would be destroyed as soon as possible?"

“No, no!” The village chief’s eyes turned red again, and this time he was about to cry. “If that were the case, I wouldn’t have brought her out at the time, and I wouldn’t have kicked her out of the house later. I would have killed her directly.”

The black cat jumped out of He Chunhui's arms, ran to the village chief, licked his face, and licked away a tear on his face.

The village chief's tears finally burst out uncontrollably.

Liu Wenfeng was the most respected person in the village when he was old, and he was also a very respected person in the village when he was young. He was the most educated person in the village.

The person who respected and admired him the most was naturally him, Liu Wenfeng's son.

Probably every man has a period of youth when the person he admires most is his father. This period of time for him is exceptionally long, perhaps much longer than he thought, because his father is really a good person in all aspects.

He loved his wife and son, could earn money and support his family, and was a man of high status in the village. Every time he saw his father writing letters to the villagers, writing Spring Festival couplets, funeral couplets and wedding invitations for the villagers, his eyes must have been very bright, because his chest was very hot at that time, and he vowed in his heart to be a person like his father.

This worship lasted for more than twenty years, and he was about to become a father-like person. He discovered the basement of this dark building by coincidence.

Here, he saw a lot of corpses and a disheveled, sticky girl who was holding a snake and eating it with a blank look in her eyes.

His world came crashing down.

He took the girl out, knowing somehow that if he didn't she would die here.

But he tried to repair his own world.

He cowardly said nothing and asked nothing.

The father told his family that this was a girl he picked up. He felt sorry for her and wanted to adopt her. He didn't know whether his family would agree or not, so he didn't know what to say, so he just put her in the dark room.

He knew that was not the case, because only two days later, his father began to frequently take her into the dark building basement again, but he still said nothing.

He just compensated by feeding her when her father didn't know, teaching her common sense about people, and teaching her to read and write.

It was not until his father grew old, his health deteriorated, and he became more and more crazy about researching human Gu that he pretended to be angry and drove her out of the house.

He brought her, now normal, into an abandoned stilt house, brought her the familiar poison cat from the basement, bought her many books, and everything else she needed. In return, she could not leave the stilt house, let alone Wugu Village, unless necessary.

His father is already in his sixties, and he wants to preserve his father's image throughout his life.

It was fine like this, everything was fine.

Who would have thought that a doctor would come to the village and that damn He Chunhui would come to her stilt house every few days.

Who would have thought that after his father became old and seriously ill, he would begin to place his hopes on witchcraft again and study poisonous insects behind their backs.

Who would have thought that He Chunhui actually recognized the poisonous insect in his father's body.

Who knew that cat hair was taken out of Xiao Qian's cat's stomach.

Who knew, he still chose his father, just like when he was young, and said nothing.

Who knew that the subsequent developments would be completely out of control.

He only saw her with a layer of skin sunburned.

The moment the black cat licked the tears from his eyes, he recognized her.

A long time ago, the night he took her out of the basement, the world collapsed into pieces. Even though he was an adult, he still sat on the ground and broke down and cried. She came over like some kind of animal and licked the tears from his face.

She really wasn't a person then, and she really isn't a person now.

In the end, the things he tried so hard to hold on to were still uncovered and broken.

In the end, we returned to that night.

And she became a cat ghost, and she took revenge on those in the village who had hurt her, but she never took revenge on him.

Why doesn't he have any strange disease? Why don't you take revenge on him?

The village chief lowered his head, a tear fell and landed on his wrinkled hands, and he was stunned for a moment.

The other players were also stunned. They saw more intuitively the rapid aging of the village chief. Under the moonlight, his black hair turned white bit by bit, the wrinkles on his face gradually deepened into ravines, and even his spine became more bent.

Cat ghosts can transfer property, steal lifespan, and kill people.

It turns out that the villager who will get a strange disease tonight is the village chief, and his corresponding disease is his life span.

So tonight's players are...

"ah!--"

Suddenly, a sharp, terrified cry was heard from the front.

When Xia Bai looked up, he saw Tao Baobao, whose hair was all white and her face was full of wrinkles. She was aging as fast as the village chief. Her hair and teeth had already begun to fall out. If this continued, she would soon die.

"Help me! Help me! Ahhhhh! Help me!"

The village chief laughed as if he was relieved, crying as he laughed, and in front of the shocked villagers, he made the secret that could no longer be hidden known to everyone.

"That's right, it's my father, Liu Wenfeng, who is raising Gu. He not only raises cat ghost Gu, he also raises human Gu for longevity. He died because he tried to survive by raising Gu during a serious illness. The Gu worms in his body are raised by himself, not Xue Ligu, nor any woman in the village as you guessed. The Grass Ghost Lady is him, and the Grass Ghost Lady is my father, the Liu Bo you respect, hahaha!"

After saying these words crazily, he slowly closed his eyes, half crying and half laughing, waiting for death to come.

Been a long time coming.

He opened his eyes and saw the shocked looks of the people around him.

His aging suddenly stopped as he said all this.

Xia Bai immediately said to Tao Baobao: "Hurry up and tell me!"

Tao Baobao immediately said: "Xia Bai! Xia Bai has slandered others before! Lin Xiang was once alive, but he slandered Lin Xiang as dead and wanted to bury Lin Xiang as a corpse in the yard of his home!"

“…”

When Xia Bai went to see Qi Yan, Tao Baobao also followed him. She said that she did not agree with Fu Yuqing's words, and that the poisoning and the curse might exist at the same time. Xia Bai performed an autopsy on Qi Yan and found that he indeed had lost both of his kidneys.

At the same time, she asked Xia Bai, if there really was a curse, what they had just speculated about, that saying what others had done to slander others and that was worthy of being cursed, would really be able to break the curse, and that Su Mao's death was only because he had shed too much blood.

Xia Bai said he didn't know, but he might be able to verify it. In order to verify it, and to save their lives at a critical moment, they told each other something they had done to slander others and might be cursed.

After much thought, Xia Bai felt that this was the only thing that could be considered as him slandering others. As for the others, at least he could not think of any.

I don’t know if it’s because Xia Bai’s incident doesn’t count, or if their speculation is wrong, but Tao Baobao’s aging has not stopped.

Just when Xia Bai wanted her to tell him about her own story, she screamed again, "Fu Yuqing! Fu Yuqing was jealous of Qiao Yufan and accused her of seducing her boyfriend. She isolated her in the game and killed her!"

“…”

After saying this, her aging stopped.

“…”

No one looked at Fu Yuqing's face. They only saw Tao Baobao discover that his aging had stopped, and he burst into tears as if he had survived a disaster.

Xia Bai just took a glance and then looked at the village chief and the black cat.

I don't know when the black cat fell over.

Xia Bai was stunned for a moment.

He Chunhui walked to the village chief, picked it up with trembling fingers, looked at it with his head down, and his throat rolling violently.

"She just wants to be innocent. She is not a Gu woman. She has been a Gu worm all her life. You say she is a Gu woman. How ridiculous and sad is that for her?"

"She is not a grass witch. She did not plant worms in your son because she knew how terrible it was to have worms in the body. She did not steal your family's fortune because she had no chance to know how good wealth is. She did not steal your mother's life because she did not think it was good to live too long."

"You taught her all the ways she used to take revenge on you. However, as long as you admit that you slandered her, you don't even have to say anything about yourself. As long as you say even one thing about her being slandered, your strange illness will be cured."

"Do you understand? Because you taught her that, because you said she cast a spell on you to make your body itch and fester, so you became itchy and fester. When someone said that she didn't cast a spell to make people itch and fester, it denied the fact, and the itching and festering no longer existed."

"But no, no one said anything, not one."

He Chunhui's voice became hoarse. He looked at the silent and motionless black cat in his arms, trembling all over.

"You are not a rosary, a Gu insect, or a business machine. If you can't have a child, we can adopt one. Wait for me, wait for me to come back, bring people to rescue you, and we'll get married."

But when he came back, he saw her dead on the Fengyu Bridge, only two steps away from the other side of the bridge.

The villagers dragged her away by the cage.

Rosary, who was dead in a pool of blood, opened his eyes and looked at him.

He didn't know why she could stay in Nusa Tengu's body. He wanted to hold her and leave Wugu Village, just as he had told her at that time.

But she didn't leave.

He thought she wanted revenge, so he would accompany her to take revenge, but he slowly realized that she didn't want revenge.

The black cat often ran to the villagers' homes and listened when they were about to die, but she always left disappointed.

Until their death, they never said that they had wronged her. Even when they were tortured to death by a strange disease and knew it was a curse, they never thought about whether they had wronged her.

She just wanted them to admit it, she just wanted to be cleared.

Otherwise she would be trapped here forever and unable to leave.

It was not until the village chief revealed Liu Wenfeng, the root of all the truth, that she was finally relieved.

She left.

That dark and terrifying basement where death is always present, that thin and shaky stilt house, that ignorant, cannibalistic, feudal and closed Wugu Village.

He Chunhui's voice was like a sigh, and it was hard to tell whether it was sad or happy: "She finally left."

Players saw a beam of light moving from a dark basement filled with corpses, all the way across the wind and rain bridge, forming the shape of a road.

"We finally passed the level." said Lin Xiang.

Jing Yan said: "Let's go!"

The players all walked onto the path of light.

Xia Bai took one last look at the man holding the black cat, and walked towards the light path leaving the game.

After walking a few steps, he seemed to realize something and turned around. He saw You Yue still standing under a tree, looking forward. His line of sight should have just happened to see Dr. He holding the black cat and the dark basement.

Xia Bai shouted: "You Yue, it's time for us to leave."

It took You Yue two seconds to turn around. His long hair covered his eyes. "Leave?"

Xia Bai nodded.

You Yue immediately came up and walked out of the game with Xia Bai. When they walked onto the Fengyu Bridge, he looked down.

Seeing Xia Bai taking a step, he immediately followed him and crossed the Fengyu Bridge at the same time. At the same time, he grabbed the corner of his clothes, as if he was led out by him.

Just as Xia Bai was about to look back in confusion, he heard the voice of the system.

[Congratulations to the corpse collector Xia Bai for successfully unlocking the Wugu Village map. ]

[The game is calculating, please wait. ]

[The rewards and achievements obtained by the corpse collector Xia Baiben map are as follows:]

【Game points: 4160300. 】

The game points were a lot, but this was the first time that Xia Bai did not get any props or skill rewards in the game.

He didn't feel confused. He really didn't perform very well in this game. Ling Changye also performed very well. Although Jing Yan's skills were a little misleading, his skills did help them a lot. Lin Xiang also contributed a lot.

The game reward should be among these three.

He was a little curious about who took the biggest reward of the game and what it was.

[Congratulations, corpse collector Xia Bai. ]

Just like when the previous game ended, after the relatively mechanical game reward announcement ended, Xia Bai heard a more human voice, sending him out of the game.

This time Xia Bai said silently, "Thank you."

[Congratulations, You Yue, for successfully unlocking the Wugu Village map. ]
