Jin An's eyes pondered for a moment.

He also started walking towards the back of the village.

If Jin An remembers the location correctly, that's where the man and woman stand.

On the road, I met more and more villagers. These Taoyuan villagers were all wearing new clothes that they would only wear out during the holidays.

Moreover, some of these people were carrying fresh fruit baskets in their hands.

Some people were carrying a large white pig that had just been disemboweled and slaughtered. Judging from the thin skin and tender meat, the fat head and big ears, it looked like it was well-raised.

Some people, the whole family, old and young, came together to carry tables and benches, intending to dedicate them to the village to hold a banquet for the whole village.

As for Jin'an, he was walking among the villagers safely, and no one noticed a living person sneaking in among them.

The fire is raging.

In a huge open space behind the village, a huge bonfire was lit.

The flames ignited by the bonfire were as high as two stories high, and illuminated a large open space around it red. At this time, a large number of Taoyuan villagers were busy around the bonfire.

There are shouts of chefs cooking, roasting whole pigs, and roasting whole lambs.

There were villagers talking and laughing as they carried jars of wine from their homes. The wine jars were covered with soil, and it looked like they had been stored in their cellars for many years.

There was also the chatter of women in the village helping to wash vegetables and pick leaves.

There were also the sounds of naughty children chasing each other.

What a lively and busy scene.

Looking at the scene in front of me, it is estimated that in a short time, the whole village's banquet will be arranged and started.

Jin An frowned as he watched the village chefs borrow fire from the largest bonfire in the center of the clearing every time they cooked vegetables, roasted whole pigs, roasted whole lambs, roasted beggar's chickens, etc., and his brows grew tighter and tighter.

The position of the bonfire was exactly where the head sacrifices and the human skins of men and women were held.

A horrifying detail crept into Jin An's mind.

Could those firewood used as fuel for the bonfire be the densely packed and countless human heads in the head sacrifice?

So this flame is a phosphorus fire lit with dead heads? It is also commonly known as a will-o'-the-wisp?

So this table full of wine and food is...?

Jin An thought of the abnormal behavior of Song Fangping and his wife that he saw when they were at Song Fangping's home.

Looking at everything in front of me, it is obvious that the answer is ready to come out.

The origin of Taoyuan Village and the origin of all curses are related to the bonfire in front of us. This bonfire is the firewood that exists in Taoyuan Village.

In mythology, the mythical character who brings fire to the underworld is called Li.

It seems that there is also fire in the world of the dead.

"Not enough, not enough. Let the fire burn brighter."

"Today's fire is not strong enough, and it has been delayed for a long time. Today's village banquet has been delayed by one stick of incense than before. We must continue to add more firewood, otherwise the stew will not be cooked properly. Just in case someone comes to the village today

Those foreigners were not happy with their meal, and they thought it was because our Taoyuan Village was shabby. When we receive guests in Taoyuan Village, we must bring out the best."

The patriarch of Taoyuan Village stood in front of a huge burning bonfire and shouted.

The red light of the flames stained the whole body of the old patriarch with white beard and hair, black and red.

Immediately, a villager echoed: "Chief, I will add some firewood right away."

But his hands were empty, and there was no dry wood in his hand to light the fire, so he dove headlong into the bonfire, dying like a moth to the flame, intensifying the flames of the bonfire.

"Hahaha, let me add more fire. Meat that is not cooked well will not taste good."

Another villager rushed into the bonfire like a moth.

These villagers were crazy and fanatical, and they were like moths to the fire, until about ten people died, and the bonfire became more and more prosperous. The clan leader said with joy that the fire is enough, that's enough. At the same time, the aroma of minced meat beside the bonfire became stronger.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, the clan leader began to order people to go to Song Fangping's house and invite Jin'an and the others to attend the village banquet to welcome the outsiders.

Then, several villagers began to run towards Song Fangping's house. Behind those adult villagers, there were a few big kids jumping behind them to join in the fun.

Just when Jin An focused on those people, suddenly, snap!

A hand as thin as a chicken's claw grabbed Jin An's wrist.

"Taoist Master, let's go, let's go, go quickly, the people in this village are all crazy, they will not be able to bear it any longer!"

"If you don't leave, it will be too late!"

An unkempt, gray-haired, stooped old woman, dressed in rags, dirty and smelly, like a beggar and a mad woman, she held onto Jin An's wrist tremblingly.

.The person shouts anxiously in an unclear and hoarse voice, as if his throat has been injured?

Jin An looked at the old woman in front of him who looked like a crazy woman in surprise.

Can the other party see him?

Living person?

Feeling the weak body temperature coming from his wrist, like a dying candle or a burnt-out lamp, Jin An was even more stunned. How could there be a living person in Taoyuan Village, a village of the dead?

Could it be another outside intruder after them?

"Crazy?"

"What's crazy?"

"Old man, do you know anything about this Taoyuan Village?"

Jin An asked, and he felt that he was closer to the truth.

"Walk!"

"This village needs no living people!"

"We have all been deceived, we have all been deceived. Mr. Yuan and the others have deceived our entire village. He is not changing the face of our Taoyuan Village. They are taking the lives of the entire village and selfishly changing their lives."

Damn it! You took the lives of a whole village just to change one person's fate! You also innocently implicated a pair of my children. Is this your punishment for my mother?"

When the old woman, who was like a crazy beggar, said her last words, she looked in the direction of the bonfire and cried bitterly.

"Mom is wrong, take mom with you."

"After all these years, are you still unwilling to forgive my mother for the mistakes she made back then?"

"Mom has really realized her mistake. She should not have listened to the lies of outsiders. She should not have abandoned you in the first place... Please forgive me. Please don't leave me to live alone in the world, crying every day until my voice becomes hoarse.

...After so many years, why have you never forgiven my mother? Why didn’t you take my mother away, but let your mother live in pain and self-blame every day? My mother really knows that she was wrong, so please take your mother away with you..."
