Chapter 125 The Cursed Village
"Okay, you can arrange it."
So he invited the two Tang brothers, a few friends, and of course, Chu Jiaqi, the girl who had been thrown out of the car by Bao Shuoyu.
When Chu Jiaqi saw Bao Shuoyu, who looked incredibly handsome and carefree, the fear she had felt earlier immediately vanished.
"Bao Shuoyu! Long time no see!"
Bao Shuoyu simply nodded without responding. Seeing Chu Jiaqi, he was a little confused.
Chu Jiaqi happily stuck to his side, asking all sorts of questions, "Shuoyu, what have you been doing lately? I haven't seen you at all, you've been so mysterious."
Bao Shuyu said expressionlessly, "Make money and work."
"Hey, your restaurant is doing so well, why are you working? Just enjoy yourself."
"No, I work for someone else and get paid a little money."
"Oh, you're willing to work for someone else? Ah Yu, why don't you come work for my dad's company? I'll have him arrange a good position for you, and the salary will definitely be higher than what you're doing now!"
"I'm not going."
Why?
"My boss is better looking than you."
This almost made Chu Jiaqi angry again, and she didn't speak to him for the rest of the way, finally getting some peace and quiet.
When they arrived at the funeral home, Lu Yifei's mother's eyes were swollen from crying. As parents, it was naturally extremely painful to see their child suffer the loss of his parents. Before, she had scolded Chen Mi and the others whenever she saw them, but now she didn't say anything. Her eyes were vacant, red and swollen, and her voice was hoarse. She said, "You've come," and then fell silent.
Everyone felt quite upset seeing this, and even Chu Jiaqi, who was prone to making a fuss, silently followed the others and bowed to Lu Yifei's portrait.
The Tang brothers wiped away their tears, feeling even more heartbroken. Although they often argued with Lu Yifei, now that he was gone, it felt so lonely.
On the way back, Bao Shuoyu asked Chen Mi to pass by the street where the Xia Yu Family Metaphysics Hall was located, as he was going to the shop.
Chen Mi knew where he worked, so she dropped him off at the entrance of the metaphysics shop. Chu Jiaqi rolled down the car window and saw Bao Shuoyu walk into the shop. Inside, a very sweet and lovely-looking woman was sitting, and Chu Jiaqi was immediately filled with jealousy.
Hmph, it was just a woman who seduced Bao Shuoyu. So what if she's a little better looking? Is she prettier than me?
"Seriously, how could Shuoyu fall for someone like that and even work for her? Is he out of his mind?"
Although Chen Mi didn't know much about Yu Xiaoluo, he knew about the Savage Valley. "You mean Miss Yu, right? She's quite capable, so don't underestimate her."
"Tch, I think she's pretty good at seducing men. Even a blockhead like Bao Shuoyu can be seduced."
Chen Mi didn't know how to refute it, so she simply kept quiet.
Chu Jiaqi had already made a silent vow to teach that woman surnamed Yu a lesson! How dare she steal my man!

Yu Family Metaphysics Hall.
Today's appointment was with a young brother and sister; the brother was probably around 27 or 28, and the sister was around 25. The two siblings' expressions...
They were all anxious and looked somewhat haggard.
The older brother wasn't very talkative, so it was mostly the younger sister who did the talking. "Master Yu, it seems like my parents are possessed by evil spirits. The other villagers..."
They seem to be possessed by an evil spirit. Could you please go and take a look?
She recounted what had happened; her younger sister's name was Tu Chunyan, and her older brother's name was Tu Xiaoming.
A few nights ago, Tu Chunyan was awakened by a strange noise in the middle of the night. She got up groggily, opened the door to her room, and followed the sound to its source.
It was dark outside, and the lights were off. There was no sound in the living room, but it seemed to be coming from the kitchen. She guessed that it was probably the family's little white cat stealing food again.
"Little Bai, you're craving something sweet again, aren't you?"
She turned on the kitchen light while dozing off, and when she looked into the kitchen, she saw a scene she would never forget: her mother was squatting on the ground, her face covered in blood, gnawing on something that was also covered in blood.
That thing—it was Little White! Her most beloved kitten!
She was trembling all over and screamed, waking Meng Xiaoming. He came out groggily and was stunned by what he saw.
As if waking from a dream, Tu's mother saw what was in her hand and screamed even louder than Tu Chunyan.
Tu Xiaoming calmed down, helped his mother wash the blood off her face and hands, then put the cat in a garbage bag and, under the cover of darkness, threw the dead cat into the outside trash can.
After returning home, the two siblings sat down and asked their mother what had happened. Their mother was also quite frightened and told them the story in fits and starts.
"I don't know either. I thought I was dreaming. I dreamt I was very, very hungry, so I got up to find something to eat, and I found a chocolate cake in the living room. It smelled so sweet, and I was eating it when you woke me up. I never imagined that the cake was—"
Thinking about this, Tu's mother felt a wave of fear and dared not think about it anymore.
Tu Chunyan thought of her father, "What exactly happened? Doesn't Dad know anything about it?"
As they were talking, they saw Tu's father come out of the bedroom. Tu Chunyan was about to call him when she saw him leave the room and walk straight outside. His movements were stiff and his eyes were vacant, which frightened the three of them quite a bit.
The two siblings quickly ran over and stopped their father, but seeing that he seemed to be sleepwalking, they didn't dare to wake him unless he did something particularly strange. They took him back to his room and made him lie down, and Tu's mother also went back to her room.
Because it was late and everyone was tired, I told the two elderly people that they must go to the hospital tomorrow to see if there was anything wrong with their health, and then I went to rest.
So the brother and sister told their parents to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up before they went to work. Their parents went to the hospital together and ran into a few people from the same village. However, they didn't want to talk about it, as it was a rather frightening matter and they were afraid that others would think they had lost their minds. They simply said they had a stomach problem and were getting a check-up.
The butcher's parents underwent a full-body examination, especially of their brains, but no problems were found. They thought it was just an occasional occurrence, perhaps because the butchers were too tired and needed more rest.
But they sleepwalked again the next night and actually took out all the raw meat from the refrigerator and started eating it. Moreover, they discovered that other villagers in the village had also gotten into trouble. Erniu from the village had sneaked into his neighbor's chicken coop in the middle of the night and ate the chickens raw. After eating the chickens, he even fell asleep in the chicken coop.
The neighbor was terrified. When everyone talked about it, they found that more than ten villagers had been acting strangely recently. Everyone thought it was a very strange thing. Fortunately, no one died, but no one could be found to have any health problems. The village chief also reported it to the higher authorities. Everyone suspected that there was something wrong with the village's water source. However, experts came down and found nothing wrong with the water source.
