EBE Chapter 127 The 2nd Story
Chapter 127 The 2nd Story
[Oh, what a crappy story! It terrifies me. Maybe it’s because when Immortal Brother reconstructed the story, he used the place name of Fuyun Village, which made me feel as if it happened there.]
[To be honest, in a remote mountain village like this, it's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen. Although the production team has done a lot of work, I'm still skeptical. Do you remember the haunted house that the kid mentioned when he threatened Brother Xianren and the others? If those words weren't arranged in advance by the production team, wouldn't that be the same as what happened in Fuyun Village?]
[It is recommended to conduct a thorough investigation of this village. I don’t know how many young girls have been killed there.]
[Please don't get mad, it's just a variety show. If it's true, would they dare to broadcast it? ]
[I can tell you ten stories about sacrifices in one go, but this one isn't that scary, is it? In real feudal areas, there are many more horrible things than this. Don't act like you've never seen the world.]
[That's right, don't worry about it, just focus on watching the live broadcast. Guess whether Xianren Ge is going to pick up leaks or help others next? ]
Yan Muhuai was too lazy to take advantage of the situation. He could earn points from Hou Yu by any means necessary, but among artists, he would not cheat others as long as they did not provoke him.
In the first episode, everyone was very dissatisfied with him, and he certainly couldn't tolerate them, even though he knew that they were targeting Thirty-Five's former host.
After the first episode, he felt that those who stayed were okay, and they were teammates who could unite with him and make life difficult for Hou Yu, who was determined to make them sad in the program group.
So he chose to help others answer questions without hesitation.
The ones closest to them were Jiang Li and Yun Ji. Now that there were no villagers on the road to interfere, they quickly found the yard where the two were answering the questions.
The villager that Jiang Li and his friends found was called Fu Zhang. They had discussed this during dinner and learned that everyone in Fuyun Village had the surname Fu. Only some older men or heads of the family would add their original surnames after the character Fu. Their younger generations or people of lower status in the family did not have this blessing.
When Yan Muhuai knocked on the door and entered the yard, Jiang Li and Yun Ji were still sitting beside the square table with serious faces, and they had almost finished the pot of tea.
"Muhuai, you are finally here, please save us. We don't want the points anymore, just take the clues." Jiang Li stood up excitedly when he saw Yan Muhuai and Rong Jin coming.
Yun Ji also quickly stood up, walked to Jiang Li's side, gave up his original seat and let them sit.
Sitting at the top of the square table was a man in his fifties. You didn't need to ask to know that he was Fu Zhang. He had a kind look on his face, and probably because the questions he asked stumped Jiang Li and the others, he still had a smile on his face.
Yun Ji and Jiang Li sat on the left, Yan Muhuai walked to the right, leaving the seat towards the door for Rong Jin to sit.
Unexpectedly, Rong Jin followed Yan Muhuai to the right, and like Jiang Li and the others opposite, they sat on a bench.
"What is your topic? How many questions have you asked?" Yan Muhuai didn't pay attention to Rong Jin's little trick and directly asked Jiang Li on the opposite side.
Jiang Li looked worried. "We have asked eight questions, but it seems we haven't even found the basic direction."
Then he told the topic, "It's about a local guy who married a woman from another place. When she was pregnant and about to give birth, all the family members died suddenly."
"Yes, this is the question. Do you plan to ask it yourself or ask it for them?" Fu Zhang speaks Mandarin with an accent, but he has no problem communicating with people from other places.
Without waiting for Yan Muhuai to speak, Jiang Li spoke first, "They asked it themselves. We gave up."
"No need, just give him two more points and I will ask two questions." Yan Muhuai asked Jiang Li to give points, which was obviously to help him ask questions.
Yun Ji was holding the points card. As soon as Yan Muhuai finished speaking, he took out two cards and pushed them in front of Fu Zhang.
It’s not that he wanted Yan Muhuai’s help so much, but he felt that it would be okay to give these two points cards to Yan Muhuai. He knew that all of Jiang Li’s points were given by Yan Muhuai. Even if he didn’t mention this matter, Yan Muhuai had treated them to lunch today.
"First, did this incident happen more than 20 years ago? Second, the way the pregnant woman died was different from that of other people in the family, right?" Yan Muhuai asked both questions directly, just as he had asked Prince Fu himself.
When Fu Zhang heard Yan Muhuai's question, although he was not as flustered as Prince Fu, he could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
"Yes, the answer to both questions is this." Fu Zhang asked, "So can you restore the truth of the matter?"
After hearing Fu Zhang's answer, Yun Ji showed surprise on his pretty face, then turned and glared at Jiang Li, "Look, I said there was something wrong with the pregnant woman, but you insisted that their whole family was killed by criminals."
Jiang Li looked up at the sky awkwardly.
He thought it was some kind of family massacre, and kept guessing in this direction. Every time Yun Ji asked a different question, he would deny it.
"Or you are not firm enough. If you insist on your own idea, then I will listen to you." Jiang Li still insisted.
Yun Ji retorted, "Didn't you say I would listen to you from now on?"
"I'm talking about your life, not..."
Without waiting for Jiang Li to finish his words, Yan Muhuai stretched out his hand and grabbed the air in front of them, "Collect! Have fun playing the game."
The two of them reacted and sat up straight instantly, as if they were not the ones who had been arguing.
Rong Jin looked at the two of them with envy. He also wanted to be like them and be able to flirt with his master regardless of the occasion.
"Now let me restore the truth of the matter." When Yan Muhuai withdrew his hand, he also waved it in front of Rong Jin. His envy was almost overflowing from the screen. The audience in the live broadcast room would go crazy.
Rong Jin's eyes followed his hand to his face, and he pretended to be serious and frowned, "Okay, you talk, and we listen."
Jiang Li and Yun Ji guessed for a long time and were extremely curious about the truth, but they didn't expect that after Yan Muhuai asked two tricky questions, he could directly give the answer, which was really admirable.
"The truth of the matter is still related to the sacrificial ceremony of Fuyun Village, right? The pregnant woman must love the young man very much to be able to live with him in such a remote place. However, after arriving here, the pregnant woman found that this village was completely different from what she imagined. When she wanted to leave, she found out that she was pregnant. Her family also advised her to wait until she gave birth to the baby before leaving, so as to avoid any accidents on the road where the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous."
As Fu Zhang listened, his expression gradually became solemn.
It was because Yan Muhuai described it so clearly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and it was much more detailed than the answer he had.
"And then?" Fu Zhang subconsciously urged Yan Muhuai when he paused.
He really wanted to know how much more Yan Muhuai could say.
Yan Muhuai continued, "The pregnant woman was in agony and wanted to leave as soon as the child was born, but then someone told her that she would definitely give birth to a daughter, and her daughter would be the next sacrifice and would be sent to the haunted house when she turned sixteen. Her fragile spirit finally collapsed, and after killing her entire family, she was too frightened and fell down with her stomach hitting the door sill. She miscarried on the spot and died of heavy bleeding."
