Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations
The old village head’s face couldn’t help but change color and his eyes turned red at the mention of this matter. During that huge incident, his son and daughter-in-law, who had just gotten married, disappeared when they went out, and he never saw them again.
The disappearance of so many people at that time left a huge impact on Li Village. Almost every family had lost someone, including a family of seven. Five of them went missing, leaving behind two children. One only reached the waist of an adult in height, while the other was only the height of an adult’s
Imee and had just learned how to walk.
Their village was too remote and too far away from the county town. Almost everyone in the village was cut off from the world, so they didn’t think of calling the police. Since every family had lost someone, the villagers overcame their fear and organized a team dedicated to finding the missing people.
This team consisted of adult men from every family, and every night, they would take turns searching for the missing people.
Compared with the smaller incidents before that, this caused a huge commotion in the village this time.
But it was strange. When the village started recruiting people for the team on a large scale, accidents started to happen in the village.
This was especially true for those who joined the search. They spent a long time searching without finding anyone or any clues, but as long as they joined the search party, they would always be strangely unlucky or suddenly break some bones.
Fora time, even the faces of the villagers would change at the mention of the missing people.
‘When the old village head thought of what happened back then, his face changed drastically and he was scared witless.
After that, the team naturally disbanded, and no one dared to continue searching. It was just that some people in the village were still unwilling to give up. After all, the ones who went missing were their family members. Some lost parents, some lost their wives, and some lost their children.
Those who were unwilling to give up secretly gathered together to search for the missing people, until something happened which made everyone give up completely and no longer dare continue searching.
Wei Xiao listened seriously, and the old village head continued, “At that time, my son had a particularly good friend called Da Meng, who was an upstanding young man. He called me godfather. His family was the only one lucky enough not to lose anyone. This matter originally had nothing to do with
him, but he was a good person. He took the initiative to help out when this happened to everyone else. He was a cheerful person, and was always the first to agree when someone asked for help. He wasn’t greedy or a schemer, and he was good-looking and hardworking. His wife didn’t want him to join the
search, and she kept an eye on him, so he didn’t go. When he found out that my third son went missing, however, that kid came to my house every day, and hid it from his wife. He also secretly got together with other people to help in the search. Unfortunately… unfortunately…”
At this point, the old village chief choked up completely. “Good people don’t live long! This child died for no reason!”
According to those who had witnessed the death of Da Meng, he had been fine at first and did his best to help during the search. There was nothing unusual about him and he was especially brave.
‘When everyone went into the forest to carry out the search, they would chat occasionally, and there was nothing unusual. Later, Da Meng suddenly disappeared for a while, scaring quite a few people back then. Fortunately, they found him quickly. When they found him, however, his mood was a bit off,
and he was no longer as talkative as before, and seemed very quiet.
It was just that everyone had been focused on the search back then, so how could they have dwelled on such a small detail?
Later in the evening, they all left the forest, but it was as if Da Meng was suddenly possessed by something, and he rushed into the river and drowned when no one was paying attention…
