Chapter 82 Things are in chaos outside. Lin Tianyou nodded...
Lin Tianyou nodded vigorously, already imagining the feeling of eating meat every day.
The man threw the meat from his chopsticks on the ground, picked up a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and Lin Tianyou quickly picked it up and ate it.
"Seventh Brother, tie them up."
Lin Tianyou had no interest in knowing who the men were referring to; he simply enjoyed the delicious meat in his mouth.
Before Zhang Cuiping could react, she was dragged out by two people who suddenly rushed in.
"What...what are you going to do? Let me go..."
Zhang Cuiping's scream brought Lin Tianyou back to his senses, but by then a silver dagger had appeared before him.
Lin Tianyou couldn't see the man's face, only the man's ornate boots and the dagger hovering in mid-air.
He paused for two seconds, then took it as if possessed, and was immediately dragged out of the main room by the man called Lao Qi.
"Hahaha--"
The man suddenly burst into laughter and followed him out.
In the courtyard, Zhang Cuiping and Lin Yongwu were tied to two chairs, their faces filled with fear and panic. When they saw their son come out with a dagger, they shouted even more agitatedly, "Son, what are you doing with that knife? Drop it..."
Zhang Cuiping cried and begged for mercy, "Please, sir, spare my son! He's just a child!"
The man seemed to be getting impatient. He frowned and Zhang Cuiping and Lin Yongwu were punched twice, instantly silencing them.
When Lin Tianyou saw his parents tied up, he was instantly terrified and trembled with fear, praying in his heart that they wouldn't kill him.
Perhaps heaven heard his prayers, for the man's sinister voice rang in his ears.
"Go, kill them! If you kill them, no one will control you anymore. If you kill them, you can have meat every day... Hahaha... If you kill them, you can live a better life..."
As the man spoke, he began to laugh wildly and kicked Lin Tianyou, forcing him to stumble forward a few steps.
Lin Tianyou's hands were trembling, and the dagger in his hand was about to fall.
Zhang Cuiping and Lin Yongwu were so frightened by the man that their pupils trembled. What kind of demon was this?
"I assure you," the man's devilish voice rang out, "if you kill them with your own hands, I will ensure you never go hungry again and eat meat every day. If you don't kill them..."
Lin Tianyou trembled violently, his face and body were soaked with sweat in just a short time.
"If you don't kill them, you'll be the one dying today!"
The man's fierce voice suddenly came close to Lin Tianyou's ear, startling him so much that he trembled and dropped the dagger in his hand with a clatter.
The moment the dagger fell, Zhang Cuiping and Lin Yongwu both breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, their eyes suddenly widened.
Lin Tianyou slowly bent down, picked up the dagger from the ground, and walked step by step toward the two of them.
Zhang Cuiping cried out for her only beloved son.
"Son... wake up! We are your parents! We are the parents who have always loved you..."
Lin Yongwu quickly added, "Think about it carefully. Your parents always give you the best things first. Look at your sister, then think about yourself..."
Both of them tried to wake Lin Tianyou up. At this point, they believed that the child had been drugged by the devil in front of them, otherwise why would he listen to him so obediently?
Lin Tianyou stood in front of the two men, his youthful face showing no trace of childishness, but rather a chilling ruthlessness.
His bloodshot eyes reflected the image of his parents tied to chairs and their pleading faces as they tried to wake him.
He couldn't see any of these things.
There was only one sentence on my mind.
If we kill them, we won't have to starve.
He slowly raised the knife, but couldn't bring himself to put it down.
The man's crazed eyes narrowed dangerously, and he gave his subordinate a wink. The subordinate ran over and searched Zhang Cuiping and Lin Yongwu, finding two packages wrapped in cloth on each of them.
The two packages were knocked to the ground; they contained some pastries and slices of meat.
Before Lin Tianyou could think of anything else while looking at the things on the ground, the man's sinister voice came again.
"Look, they steal food every day, but why are you always starving?" The man reached out and pressed down on Lin Tianyou's hand holding the dagger, saying each word clearly, "Hahahaha... Let me tell you why, because they never intended to leave you anything... They wanted to starve you to death slowly; you're just a burden to them..."
The man's words sounded like a hypnotic spell in his ear, and Lin Tianyou suddenly thought of his sister.
I remember how my parents treated my older sister, and how she was beaten...
Seeing their son's increasingly frantic expression, Lin Yongwu and his wife cried out in trembling voices, "It's not like that..."
"ah--"
Lin Tianyou could no longer bear it. Hatred surged into his heart. He closed his eyes tightly, shouted, and swung the dagger in his hand wildly at the two of them with all his might.
Every cut was made with all his might, scalding blood spraying onto his face and body, the aroma of vegetables turning into a maddening stench of blood...
The man was very satisfied. He slowly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood splattered on his body. Then he laughed and took several steps back.
It wasn't until the screams in front of him finally stopped that Lin Tianyou stopped what he was doing and slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw blood still gushing from the necks of the two people whose faces had been slashed beyond recognition. If he hadn't known that these were his parents, he probably wouldn't have recognized who they were.
Clang—
The courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. When the sound of a knife hitting the ground rang out, Lin Tianyou felt a sharp pain in his chest.
But he didn't pay much attention and turned around to kneel down and beg the man behind him.
"My lord, you promised me..." Lin Tianyou's lips trembled, his words were indistinct, and he was completely stunned, his empty eyes devoid of any light.
The man looked down at Lin Tianyou, then walked past him, wrapped the blood-stained dagger on the ground in a handkerchief, and slowly wiped it clean. He then ordered his men, "Cut off their flesh so they can have meat to eat every meal!"
The man walked away, and Lin Tianyou remained lying on the ground for a long time without getting up. When someone lifted him up and pried open his mouth, the pungent smell of blood filled his nostrils and he suddenly vomited. When someone forced him to eat meat, he took advantage of the chaos to pull out the knife from that person's body and was about to stab the man in the back.
Before he could even make a move, he was stabbed through the body with a knife.
The man who had just entered the house turned around and was instantly furious, his eyebrows twitching.
He roared angrily, "If you killed him, then you can eat him in his place! You're not allowed to die until you've finished eating!"
The play was cut short because all the actors died. The man found it all meaningless and angrily smashed all the furniture in the main room to pieces before he could calm down.
The day the four corpses were carried through the village, everyone was trembling with fear. Some even vomited so badly upon seeing the two mutilated corpses that they couldn't stand up straight.
The hatred in Zhou Caixia's heart had long since vanished, leaving only endless fear.
Everything changed in the days that followed.
Every few days, villagers would be dragged into the village chief's house, only to emerge as various corpses missing limbs. At first, everyone would try to please him and work even harder, but later, when they saw that the people being taken to the village chief's house were not only ordinary people but also soldiers, they lost the will to cook and work, and lived in constant fear.
They used to wonder what important person lived in the Murakami's house, but now they no longer wanted to know. They knew that a monstrous monster who ate people without spitting out bones lived there, a demon whose maniacal laughter could be heard every day.
In the mountains.
These days were leisurely and peaceful. The men followed Chen Gengnian to learn hunting. At first, they didn't have much success, but soon, they would bring home game every day. What they couldn't finish, they would make into preserved meat.
The wild vegetables in spring are very fragrant, and many of them are things they have never eaten before. The children eat meat heartily and laugh loudly, and they live a very comfortable life every day.
Under the "tutoring" of Lin Yanfeng and A Bao, A Meng was able to speak some simple words in front of people, and everything was slowly becoming natural.
Although they made many preparations for the isolation, they knew nothing about the outside world.
So Meng took the initiative to suggest that he go out and fly around to see what the situation was like outside.
Lin Qingan was very worried and refused to agree to let it get into danger.
Lin Qing'an disagreed with A Meng, but he didn't dare to leave, fearing that he would anger people if he came back.
Perhaps because he had been eating too much meat and too much salt lately, Lin Qing'an had little appetite and was always sleepy. Chen Gengnian tried all sorts of delicious food to coax his husband, but Lin Qing'an remained listless. This worried Chen Gengnian and everyone else, who were afraid that he had fallen ill.
At this moment, A Meng quickly volunteered to go to town to bring back some medicinal herbs.
Lin Qingan still refused: "I'm not sick, why would I bring medicine!"
"Just bring back some digestible food so you can eat properly." As soon as A Meng said this, seeing that Lin Qing'an was about to object again, it quickly brought up Chen Yuetao and said, "How can you be like this? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least consider other people's feelings. Look at your mother, she's lost weight these past few days because she's worried about you!"
As soon as Ah Meng spoke, Lin Qing'an saw Chen Yuetao cooking porridge in the kitchen. At first glance, Chen Yuetao seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Lin Qing'an couldn't help but waver, wondering if the spiritual spring water was no longer effective?
He asked Chen Gengnian, who didn't know what to say either. He was worried about both Lin Qing'an and A Meng, so he said, "No, I'll go. I'll take a longer route to the town, that way..."
"Give me a break!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qing'an and A Meng both rejected him in unison. Lin Qing'an said, "Let's not even talk about how long you can walk on those two legs. Even the birds in the sky are worried about you. Do you think you need a few more lives to walk on the ground?"
A Meng quickly flew forward, flapping its wings and swaying to show off its strengths once again. Chen Gengnian knew it was showing off to him, so he didn't give it a look.
Lin Qing'an finally gave in to A Meng's persistent pleading and agreed that it could only fly to the town and then come back.
After instructing it to take extra medicine for colds and flu, it also wrote a letter to the village head and Uncle Hu.
Ameng was overjoyed. He had been cooped up in the mountains for days, and now that he could finally go out, he was very happy.
When Baifu tried to follow, he was slapped twice by A Meng before he reluctantly lay down on the ground and stopped moving.
Everyone burst into laughter at the sight of the eagle and the dog playfully fighting.
When A-Meng returned, it was noon the next day. When he came back, Lin Qing-An was still sleeping. A-Meng anxiously went to find Chen Geng-Nian.
"The outside world is in complete chaos!"
