Chapter 064 Chapter 64
The live broadcast room was as quiet as death.
Shangyang Village, a name that was well-known to the whole country thirty years ago.
The small village in the mountains became famous because of a fire. When the search and rescue personnel arrived, the whole village had been burned down and no one survived.
In the end, the firefighters found a total of 147 bodies from the village. Some of these bodies were burned to death, and some were poisoned.
After testing, it was found that the water source in Shangyang Village contained a large amount of □□, that is, arsenic.
In the past, it was common to use arsenic to poison rats in rural areas. The search and rescue personnel suspected that the people in Shangyang Village were maliciously poisoned and killed, and the fire was set to cover up the cause of death.
In addition, the search and rescue team also found the skeleton of a girl in the jungle at the foot of a mountain. Her body was far away from the village and therefore not affected by the fire.
Based on the marks on the bones, the forensic doctor inferred that she died from being hacked by a sharp weapon. Her injuries matched those of a bone-chopping knife.
Due to the death of all the villagers in Shangyang Village and the backward criminal investigation technology decades ago, this major case that destroyed the village became an unsolved case and will forever lie in the file cabinet of the police station.
What is unexpected is that this case will be reproduced in front of everyone in this way.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a real-life review.
After the background of the village changed, people finally noticed this place. A donkey friend who was hiking posted that he had passed by here with his companions.
The donkey friend posted his experience of passing by here on the platform, which was quite weird:
[I have been here! When my teammates and I hiked to the gate of this village, it was already very late, and we decided to spend the night here.
[My teammates originally planned to enter the village, but I heard about Shangyang Village from insiders and thought this place was spooky. Since they didn't let us in, we set up tents on the flat ground outside the village.
[Because we were worried that there were wild beasts in the wild in the mountains, we would take turns to keep watch. In the second half of the night, I was awakened by my companion who was on watch.
【His expression was very frightened, as if he had seen something terrible. He motioned for me to look outside the tent. I will never forget the scene at that time.
【When we were setting up the tent, we looked inside from outside the village. The houses inside all looked burned down, but that night...that night, we witnessed a big fire burning in the village, and there were cries one after another, and...and...
【There was also a group of children standing at the entrance of the village. They just stood there, staring straight in the direction of our tent.
【I have been a donkey friend for many years and have been to most places, even places that are rumored to be haunted, but this is the first time I have encountered such a terrible situation.
【My teammates and I hid in the tent and stayed awake all night. We didn't dare to leave at all. We didn't dare to come out until the sun shone on the tent at dawn.
[The village has returned to its burned-down state, just like what my friend and I saw last night was an illusion.
[We didn't dare to stay any longer, so we packed up and hurried down the mountain.]
This person is a well-known donkey friend on the Internet. He has taken many hiking videos. Some people have found his teammates' past dynamics through his followers and interactions in the comment area, which confirmed his statement.
[It's terrible. Fortunately, we didn't go into the village. My friend and I were scared. I always felt that we encountered something unknown. I don't think we will hike in the short term. Maybe I should see a psychiatrist? I will suspend updates for the time being and ask for leave from you.]
With the voice of the donkey friend, people on the Internet have successively recounted the strange things they saw when they passed by this place.
For example, the figures flashing by in the village, the occasional shouts, and the strange heat generated by walking on the road in the abandoned village, etc., are endless.
While the Internet was digging into Shangyang Village, the live broadcast continued.
The girl spoke in a childish tone, but her tone was cold.
"The initiator of everything is my mother. My biological mother."
Her name is Xiaoya, and she does not have a formal name. Her mother was a woman who married into the village from another village, but it is better to say that she was sold into the village by her parents rather than married, after all, her betrothal gift was not small at the time.
Xiaoya's mother was very proud of the fact that she could sell a high betrothal gift, which showed that she was worth a lot of money. The money collected by her parents could build a new house for the family and let her younger brother get married.
At first, her husband's family also cherished her, hoping that she could give birth to a son for their family.
But all this changed after she gave birth to Xiaoya.
The mother-in-law scolded her for being a hen that didn't lay eggs, a money-loser, and that it was a waste of money for their family to marry her back.
Her life was not easy afterwards. Not only did she have to serve her mother-in-law and husband, but almost all the farm work fell on her alone.
Half a year later, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she secretly found her mother-in-law and told her that her grandmother was a famous fairy in the village. She had received a fairy's teaching in a dream and knew a method that would definitely give birth to a son.
This method was very insidious, but the desire for a grandson overcame the shackles of morality.
Originally, the mother-in-law was going to take action against Xiaoya, but was stopped by her daughter-in-law, who only said that Xiaoya must be kept.
So, the mother-in-law went around the village and happened to meet a family that was about to drown after giving birth to a baby girl. She asked for the baby girl back.
The two used the baby girl as an introduction, fed a piglet for three months, killed it and made soup.
Soon, Xiaoya's mother became pregnant again.
Not only did she drink the soup herself, she also revealed this secret to several women in the village who had not been able to give birth.
They all asked Xiaoya's mother for piglet soup to drink.
Facts have proved that this method is useful.
Ten months later, the other women who drank the soup together gave birth to boys one after another, but Xiaoya's mother died on the delivery bed due to heavy bleeding.
After her death, the mother-in-law cut open her belly and took out the fetus.
After confirming the sex of the fetus, the mother-in-law's hands were shaking with excitement.
It was really a son, the one in her daughter-in-law's belly was really a son!
Unfortunately, the daughter-in-law was not destined to give birth to a son, and died on the birthing bed, killing her eldest grandson.
The mother-in-law hated her, wrapped her up in a straw mat, and threw her into the mountains, and then buried her poor eldest grandson.
Soon, the news that their family had a good recipe for giving birth to a son spread.
Many people came here because of her reputation. The mother-in-law told them that giving birth to a son would require the life of the baby girl.
People who were eager to have a child would not care about the life of the baby girl. Even if
they did not give the child to the mother-in-law, the baby girl would drown or freeze to death. They handed the child to the mother-in-law without any burden.
The family quickly made a lot of money by this method. When Xiaoya was more than four years old, her father carried a woman back in a sack.
The woman was more beautiful than all the women in the village, and she didn't look like a farmer at all.
But the woman's temper was really stubborn. She tried to escape several times, but was caught by her father. In the end, she was imprisoned in the room and could not leave.
The mother-in-law treated her well every day, fed her meals, and gave her soup.
She soon became pregnant and gave birth to a child. People in the family thought that since she already had a child, she would definitely be well behaved, so they relaxed their vigilance and control over her.
Then the woman discovered the secret of the soup.
She vomited so much that her internal organs were about to come out, and said that her mother-in-law was breaking the law and would be sentenced to death.
So the mother-in-law sentenced her to death first. The woman was hacked to death with a bone-chopping knife.
Xiaoya knew nothing about this. She only found her grandmother "sleepwalking" when she couldn't sleep one night, and secretly followed her grandmother to the pigpen, and then discovered the secret of the pigpen.
Xiaoya's grandmother had long forgotten the instructions of her first daughter-in-law not to kill the child.
Anyway, a girl would die, and her son would bring a woman back after a while, and she would have another grandson.
So she chopped Xiaoya to death, and just like she had thrown away her mother, she was thrown away at the foot of a remote mountain.
Less than half a year later, people in the village met with accidents one after another.
The sins of the village were finally burned out by a raging fire.
Xiaoya said: "Brother, for decades, we have trapped the people of Shangyang Village here, repeatedly making them experience the process of death, but now I am too weak and I can't hold on any longer.
"I heard from Grandpa Mandrill who passed by that there was someone who could help us, and sure enough, I drew the lucky bag.
"It doesn't matter to me. I inherited my great-grandmother's bloodline. I have to pay for the sins committed by my mother, but the baby girl here is innocent, and the aunt who once wanted to help me, can you help them and let them have a good rebirth?"
Her tone was earnest and her eyes were sincere, and no one could refuse.
Gu Yan sighed: "Since I have accepted your commission, of course I will take care of the after-sales service."
...
The live broadcast was cut off, but the heat of this matter did not stop, and people's enthusiasm for exploration became higher and higher.
Unexpectedly, less than a day later, a well-known media person received an anonymous call. The other party claimed that she was a survivor of the incident at that time. If the newspaper was willing, she would accept an interview on the condition that she would not show her face and process her voice.
How could the media let go of such a golden opportunity? After confirming the other party's identity, she directly announced the matter on the public platform.
In just three days, the interview was posted online and attracted a huge number of views.
The woman in the interview video was the only woman who did not drink the soup and finally escaped.
Or in other words, the only woman who was spared.
[…The village is very strange and lifeless. I always feel that the air there is filled with a strange kind of death. Even on a sunny day, the light seems very dim, as if it has been dimmed by one hue... Of course, it is not ruled out that it is related to my despair at the time...
[I went to that house and saw a little girl coming in and out every day... Yes, it was... her in the live broadcast. But the other two people in that family seemed to ignore her and never paid any attention to her...
[I actually found it strange, but there were no girls in that village, so I really thought it was their family’s custom, or the tradition of the entire village...
[...Every time I had a meal, she would show up and remind me not to drink the soup. She would avoid other people when talking to me. I thought it was because the people in the family did not allow her to casually chat up with outsiders, and she was worried that she would be beaten if her family saw her...]
Her voice was a little choked.
[Later, I was forced to get pregnant. One night, I was so tormented by the pregnancy reaction that I couldn’t sleep, so I was in a daze on the bed, and I heard the movement in the yard... I saw that the old woman... she...]
She couldn’t continue, but everyone knew what was going on.
[I knew the origin of the soup, and I didn’t dare to touch it anymore. Not long after that, a house suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. I later heard that it seemed that the children of two families fought for a toy, and the loser was full of hatred, so he burned the other family to death in the middle of the night...】
【I always thought that I was able to leave the village because she allowed me to leave. Before she escaped, she said to me, "Sister, you can run away by yourself." I thought she didn't want to leave that village. Later, I was rescued at the foot of the mountain and woke up in the hospital. The doctor told me that I had a miscarriage... It turned out that she left the child in my belly in that village... This is what she meant by "one person."】
Finally, the interview ended with the victim's self-narration, heavy and depressing.
After the interview, the local government quickly issued a notice, preparing to re-investigate the Shangyang Village incident, and directly tagged Gu Yanyi, hoping that he could assist in the investigation.
When Gu Yanyi saw this tagged, he was stunned.
