Chapter 175 The Final Act - Cannibalism in Qilin Village
Qiao Dawang was still looking at noodles to stave off hunger.
It pouted, "This is the first time that something has been placed in front of me that I haven't done anything wrong, and I've even paid for, yet I can't eat it..."
Qiao Dawang's words sound so pitiful.
But... it was all for naught!
Joey pushed all the bowls and chopsticks in front of them into a corner and whispered.
"You can't eat it, it contains human hair."
Still worried that Inugami and Joey wouldn't believe her, Joey handed Inugami her old-fashioned single-lens glasses with a nice chain.
"Look."
The two of them went closer and sure enough, they saw that the three bowls contained hair, clumps of black hair coiled together.
Inugami pursed his lips, then looked at the porridge; the bowl in which it was served looked even more disgusting.
It wasn't porridge at all; it was a bloody mess of paste, like some kind of internal organs.
Inugami quickly tilted his head, using the mirror to see what the people around him were eating.
The so-called pancakes were actually filled with human flesh, and the worst part was that they weren't cooked through; you could clearly see the blood on them.
The meat piled up under the boss's stove clearly showed arms, fingers, calves, and feet.
Inugami quickly took the mirror down.
Hua Ran rolled her eyes at him. "I haven't even looked yet."
He took it himself and carefully wiped the mirror clean.
"I don't want dog hair to get in my eyes!"
"I think your fox fur is dirty!"
After saying that, Hua Ran looked at it and then gagged.
"vomit……"
Qiao Yi quickly covered Hua Ran's mouth.
"I even saw brain matter..."
“I know, but I noticed that the waiter and the owner didn’t have any black aura on their foreheads, and their faces didn’t suggest they were evil people. In other words, they didn’t kill this person. They didn’t know they were feeding people human flesh, and their eyes couldn’t see anything.”
Qiao Dawang was still licking his lips.
They showed that they really wanted to eat it.
"Actually, brains... are quite delicious. This doesn't count as me killing people intentionally. These rotten flesh don't have souls either. Why don't I eat them all to save passersby from getting sick from eating these things?"
Qiao Yi held down Qiao Dawan.
"Do you know if it's dirty to bathe or wash the hair of a corpse?"
"Is it dirty or not..."
"If Lu Qianye finds out about this, you'll think about it carefully."
Qiao Dawan was taken aback. "If I don't want to taste it, then I won't eat it."
Joey breathed a sigh of relief and went over to chat with the waiter.
"Waiter, your noodles even have meat in them! The meat tastes so fresh. Where do you get all this meat from?"
"This is all pork, transported down from that village in the mountains every morning, along with chicken, beef, and mutton, so of course it's fresh."
The waiter said this, and then picked up a pancake and took a bite.
"We eat it ourselves."
As a result, because Xiao Er bit too hard, the blood on the meat pie splattered onto her face. She thought it was fresh and juicy juice, so she wiped it off with her hand. The blood broke off, and her whole face was covered in it, which was extremely disgusting.
Joey felt like throwing up.
At this moment, she really felt that having a full Yang life and a strong sense of righteousness was a good thing, and that out of sight, out of mind.
"Could you show me some chickens, cows, and sheep? We want to buy more to eat on the way. Also, what's the name of that village in the mountains? I can't find the road leading up there from nearby."
"Are you going to Qilin Village?"
"Qilin Village..."
The waiter led Joey to the kitchen, where there were several boxes on the floor, all filled with corpses.
There was also a human head, with two big white eyes, staring directly at Joey.
Although these body parts were soulless, Joey still felt disgusted.
It was as if Joey had killed that person; the head was always pointed at Joey.
This forced Joey to stand in a different direction.
"Look, isn't it fresh? These are chickens, cows, and sheep, all from Qilin Village. You said you couldn't find the way to Qilin Village, that's because you have to go through a narrow path in the mountains to get there."
The waiter also mentioned that the meat used in the towns along this road mostly comes from Qilin Village.
"The villagers raise pigs, cattle, and sheep, and they raise them very well. So we started supplying them to the local area, but there's one point where the vendors have to go up there themselves to pick up the meat."
The waiter also said that ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
"Girl, you're not a merchant, are you? There were merchants who tried to sneak in and monopolize the pigs, cattle, and sheep in the village, and even tried to learn how to raise pigs, but they were all beaten down, and they kept saying that the village was haunted."
"Hey, everyone knows that's just their way of ruining other people's reputations, trying to discourage everyone from buying their goods!"
Joey pursed her lips. "Is it possible that the ghost story is real?"
The waiter chuckled.
Tell Joey to stop talking nonsense.
"What kind of ghosts and gods are these? If they really existed, I would pray to gods and Buddhas to make my family rich quickly, but why doesn't it work? So don't believe in them."
Joey nodded. "I'm not a merchant, I'm a Taoist nun. I advise you not to linger too long at night, and don't go near anything you see. Just run away quickly."
"Ha...who are you trying to scare?"
Joey already knew what she wanted to know, and turned to leave.
And she leaned close to Hua Ran's ear.
"Ranran, now that you have most of a physical body, your yin energy is very strong. Go to the kitchen and touch those corpse parts. Don't stay too long. Just send a little bit of yin energy there."
"Oh~ My wife, you want to..."
Qiao Yi raised an eyebrow, and without needing to say much, she and Hua Ran understood each other perfectly.
"Understood, I'll go right away."
Joey quickly packed her things and told Inugami and Joey to wait for them at the carriage.
Although she didn't mind these ignorant people eating human corpses and having diarrhea for a few days, she didn't want to deal with any new grudges after leaving Qilin Village.
After all, if a corpse is left in one place for a long time, even if it no longer has a soul, it will still harbor resentment.
Turn into a zombie or some other monster.
If Hua Ran brings a breath of yin energy, the corpse will become restless at night. Unable to withstand Hua Ran's yin energy, the corpse will decay and turn into pus before sunrise.
Presumably, the waiter wouldn't disbelieve in ghosts and gods.
From then on, they spread the word, telling others not to go to Qilin Village to pick up goods.
Soon, as darkness fell, they entered the alley and heard several screams coming from the small shed behind them.
Meanwhile, Joey and the others successfully entered Qilin Village.
The first thing you see is a pile of bones.
Hanazono and Inugami, both with good hearing, were able to hear some noises.
The two turned around together and saw what appeared to be a person eating something in the withered grass.
They looked ahead and saw that the man's mouth was full of blood.
Hua Ran exclaimed "Ah!" and quickly hid behind Qiao Yi.
"My lady... she... she eats people! We spirits all know not to touch the corpses of our own kind, and not to eat our own kind, yet she eats people..."
The creature with its mouth full of blood tore off a large chunk of its own flesh and ran away quickly, disappearing in a flash.
Before Joey could figure it out, she heard a call.
"Yiyi~"
