Chapter 278 [Domain · Wedding Banquet] Widow Li
The three of them entered the kitchen blankly.
The kitchen reeked of a nauseating smell of stewed mutton.
Although they didn't kill Abu with their own hands, what they were about to do was still unacceptable to the core.
"Are we really going to slice the meat?"
Chu Jing's face was paler than paper; she was utterly resistant.
"Chu Jing." Du Tingfeng looked at her with a complicated expression: "Think about the domain you entered before."
"Do you think that in the eyes of ghosts, even if we are human, what's the difference between us and Abu?"
The answer is self-evident.
Chu Jing couldn't help but think of her past experiences and fell silent for a moment.
Du Tingfeng is right. Once a person angers a ghost, they will die a more miserable death than Abu.
With a sigh, Chu Jing shook her head and looked at the stove.
The pot lid was tightly closed, and next to the stove were three long, thin knives, which were meat slicing knives, still stained with blood, indicating that they had been used.
The blade is sharp.
"Do you think... this knife wound can hurt Li Fengxiu?" Chen Ji grabbed the knife and asked thoughtfully.
This is directly related to Li Fengxiu's identity.
If the soul is replaced, is the body still human?
"It's no use."
Du Tingfeng tilted his head slightly towards the door.
Li Fengxiu was standing beside the headless sheep, staring at her own hand.
Her hand appeared to be cut by a knife, and drops of black liquid dripped onto the ground, but after only a few seconds, the liquid stopped flowing.
This is clearly not human blood.
So now the Li family has two ghosts.
Li Fengxiu turned to look at the kitchen, seemingly thinking they had been holding knives for too long.
Chu Jing reluctantly picked up a meat slicing knife and walked out first, followed by Du Tingfeng. A few seconds later, Chen Ji came out last.
They immediately noticed that beneath Li Fengxiu's rolled-up sleeves, her hands were as white as jade, without a single wound.
Squatting on the ground, suppressing their nausea, the three began to carve out pieces of meat, throwing them into a nearby basket...
Time seemed to stretch out.
Gradually, everyone became numb from the repeated actions of raising their hands, cutting meat, and throwing it away.
Chu Jing was thinking:
Who is this meat for?
Du Tingfeng was secretly observing Li Fengxiu.
But Chen Ji's brain... was rapidly thinking about something!
Why is the head of the widow from the Li family in the pot?
The instant Chu Jing went out to block the doorway, he quickly lifted the pot lid, and sure enough, inside the pot was a pile of steaming hot mutton!
And right in the middle of the mutton...
It was a head with soft, rotten flesh.
A woman in her forties. Her face showed pain.
She looks about 50% like Li Fengxiu.
That's... Widow Li!
Her distorted expression was remarkably similar to Abu's appearance before his death.
Widow Li also turned into a sheep before she died.
A family of three: the mother becomes a gray sheep, the daughter is replaced, and the son becomes a charred ghost.
Speaking of this, Chen Ji remembered something else.
Abu turned into a gray sheep with a human head, most likely because he ate "mutton".
So... what kind of mutton did he eat? Was it also from a grey sheep? Or was it from Widow Li?
and many more.....
wrong.
Chen Ji suddenly raised his head and asked Li Fengxiu:
Is there still mutton in the pot?
Upon hearing this, Chu Jing and Du Tingfeng's expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Chen Ji nervously!
Li Fengxiu stared coldly at Chen Ji:
"you want to eat?"
She didn't ask Chen Ji if he had lifted the pot lid, because the strong smell of mutton and meat was already wafting out.
"Can I eat it?"
Chen Ji countered with a question.
Li Fengxiu was silent for a few seconds, then made a strange sound, like she was grinding her teeth.
"...That's my flesh."
"Whoever touches it dies."
Chen Ji nodded, said nothing more, and lowered his head to peel the meat.
However, Li Fengxiu's words kept echoing in the minds of the three of them!
My flesh.
Looking at the scene before me, my first thought upon hearing it was: that's my own flesh and blood!
However, it also has a second meaning:
This is the meat I'm going to eat.
Naturally, Chu Jing ruled out the second option, because it was already quite clear that the consequence of eating meat would be turning into a gray sheep.
Chen Ji, who saw Widow Li's head, had a completely different idea from Chu Jing.
First of all, it was definitely not the mutton that they had been tricked into eating with Abu.
Because Abu said he saw the chef cut off the lamb legs yesterday; but none of the lamb legs in the pot were missing, and they were all intact.
The mutton also showed signs of having been cooked multiple times.
Therefore... the flesh of Li's mother was food for Li Fengxiu, which means that the flesh of the grey goat had no negative effect on ghosts.
Are there any other benefits?
Moreover, to whom did the mutton they ate this morning belong?
......
Xiao Yan's round eyes showed a hint of confusion.
She unconsciously covered her mouth, looking at Jiang Zhong with some surprise:
"Master Jiang, what's wrong with you!"
Jiang Zhong, supported by Yin Ziqin, limped along, his body covered in dust.
"I tripped over something while looking for the outhouse," Jiang Zhong said sullenly.
"Luckily I didn't fall into the cesspool, or I would have stank just like that guy." Jiang Zhong glanced coldly at Wu Gong.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, then quickly coughed twice and changed the subject:
"Let's go, let's go to the Li residence first. It's already past 1 PM."
She walked quickly and took the lead, while Jiang Zhong, who had a limp, followed slowly behind.
Yin Ziqin's smiling expression suddenly changed, and her tone became somewhat urgent:
"How's it going? Is the phone properly placed?"
Jiang Zhong nodded impatiently.
Wu Gong asked, "Did you see what the inside of the house looked like?"
"I couldn't see very clearly. It was a mahogany bed, with a gauze curtain covering it; the old lady seemed to be lying on the bed, but I didn't see any other figures."
Jiang Zhong spoke quickly, his fist clenching slightly as he looked at Wu Gong with a gloomy expression.
He knew that old Deng was full of tricks.
Even though everyone had seen through the relationship between Wu Gong and Yin Ziqin, who could have imagined that everyone would be deceived by Wu Gong as soon as they entered the domain?
Half an hour ago.....
Jiang Zhong was pondering the clues about this domain, but the more he thought about it, the more something felt off!
According to Wu Gong, this guidance was extracted from the "Strange Verses".
The original verses chanted by the madman were:
"Quewei, queer, queer."
"The grandson marries his grandmother."
Pigs and sheep sit on the heated brick bed, while family members are cooked in the pot.
"Everyone comes to congratulate me, but I feel truly miserable!"
This is about a wedding banquet that appears joyous on the surface but is actually sinister inside; at first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Everything that needed to be said has been said.
But as Jiang Zhong imitated the madman's tone, he suddenly realized...
The duration is incorrect!
No matter how he reads it, it's different from what the madman is saying!
It's not that the content is inconsistent, but rather it's like two sentences are missing, so no matter how you put it, something doesn't feel right.
Just then, he suddenly heard Wu Gong, who was alone in the inner room, let out a soft laugh.
Through the door, Wu Gong listened as he repeatedly recited the "Strange Verse"...
A faint sound came from the inner room:
Want to know what the missing two sentences are?
