I traveled through time, this is unscientific

Chapter 196 Cellar

196 Cellar

Wu Sanmei looked at Zhou Xiaozhou with a dark face and looked unhappy. After getting in the car, she sat very properly and didn't dare to make a sound.

Now that Zhou Xiaozhou had something to ask, she immediately told him everything.

"Every family has one. It's a cellar built to hide things. Sometimes when we encounter danger, we kids can hide in it."

"Is it a cellar? Is it connected to the cave under the ancestral hall?"

Wu Sanmei found it difficult to answer this question. She didn't know if she could tell Sister Zhou such a confidential matter in the village. But then she thought, Sister Zhou is already registered in the village and is a villager, so there is nothing she can't tell.

"Well, some of them work, but some of the people's houses don't."

"Why? If there is danger in the blocked area, how can they hide?"

"If it's blocked, we'll dig it through ourselves when we have free time!"

That's a strange thing to say.

Zhou Xiaozhou: "You mean, those connections were made by Changren himself, they were his nest or the path he walked. The villagers' houses happened to be built on top of them. And the blocked areas are not Changren's nest, so they need to be dug to reach Changren's nest. Is that right?"

Wu Sanmei nodded. Sister Zhou was really smart. She didn't reveal the village's secret. She guessed it herself.

"So if something happens in your village, just like last time, women and children will hide in Changren's lair. Is this Changren raised by your village?"

Today's trip was really worthwhile. Zhou Xiaozhou knew that he was about to get in touch with the core secrets of the village.

Wu Sanmei shook her head again.

Zhou Xiaozhou and her already have a tacit understanding. The little girl won't say it out loud, but she will nod and shake her head.

"That means your village has occupied someone else's nest and forced them to serve as your thugs."

Zhou Xiaozhou thought it was funny that a giant python was kidnapped by the people of a village.

Wu Sanmei shook her head and nodded.

He continued, "We didn't occupy its nest. It likes to sleep underground for a long time at a time. My grandfather said that it was our ancestors who chose this place to settle down, and then Changren moved here."

"Ancestors? Your great-grandfather's generation?"

"No, it's Grandpa's Grandpa."

"That's so early. So your village hasn't been around that long! Only five or six generations, maybe a hundred years at most."

Zhou Xiaozhou had never heard the villagers talk about these things before, and this time he planned to learn more from Wu Sanmei.

Wu Sanmei tilted her head and looked at Zhou Xiaozhou. She didn't quite understand some of what Sister Zhou said.

But that didn't stop her from continuing, "Changren likes to sleep, and when he wakes up he shouts that he's hungry. In the beginning he would even secretly take away children from the village and eat them."

"So you were taught since childhood that Changren likes to eat people, so you should be good, right?"

"Well, my mother has always told me that children should not run around, as they will be eaten by Changren. Children should not cry or they will come back to eat you."

"This is the same as us. When I was a child, my mother always said, 'Don't cry. Tigers only eat crying children.'" Ge Meili interrupted.

"Yeah, it's this Baozhen over there! He really eats children." Zhou Xiaozhou also made some black humor.

After they finished talking, they burst into giggles, but then they felt it was not appropriate to do so in front of Wu Sanmei and covered their mouths again.

Wu Sanmei didn't mind these things, she also laughed twice, and then continued to tell Changren: "Later, it sometimes slept and sometimes woke up, and when it woke up it would look for food. When it woke up, the whole village had to hide, otherwise they would be eaten by it.

Sometimes when the harvest is bad, it eats up all the wild animals on the mountain, but it still wants more. When the other animals can no longer bear hiding from it, they will choose a sacrifice for it as a last resort. "

Zhou Xiaozhou and the others couldn't laugh anymore. This guy really was supported by the villagers at the cost of their lives.

"Later, a few strangers came in and somehow got to where it slept, and were eaten. Uncle Dashan came up with a solution. Once it was full, it would be quiet. Only in the past few years has the village been living in peace with it."

Well, they have mastered the art of disaster transfer, using the lives of outsiders to save the lives of their own villagers.

Zhou Xiaozhou thought a little bit.

"Third sister! Do you think your grandfather and the others have ever thought about sending me to feed Changren?"

This is very horrifying, but Zhou Xiaozhou couldn’t think about it that way!

"No," Wu Sanmei said firmly, "Sister Zhou, you are a scholar, and Grandpa will not let you go."

Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education at the Flower Garden, she was saved from Shekou.

Then, Zhou Xiaozhou silently drew a cross in his heart and prayed to God.

"Well, Third Sister, how often do you hide from it? How many people can it eat at once?"

Zhou Xiaozhou was completely upset today. While Wu Sanmei was willing to talk, she wanted to find out everything.

Wu Sanmei shook her head and said, "We don't know either. It may have been a little while. Changren has only been a troublemaker six times in my life."

That means taking it once will last for two to three years.

"Were you the ones who woke Changren up the last time? How long has it been?"

Chen Dahe also started talking while driving.

"No, that was an accident. It was only four or five months since Changren last slept. Changren likes winter and usually wakes up when the New Year is approaching. It must have been the roar of the big tiger that woke it up. It doesn't like noise."

Wu Sanmei's frankness in telling them everything she knew solved many of the mysteries surrounding Zhou Xiaozhou in their hearts.

But the more I get to know this village, the more doubts I have.

So annoying! Zhou Xiaozhou doesn't even want to use his brain! Isn't it better to be a parasite who eats and waits to die?

I have a boyfriend who dotes on me and my parents who support me unconditionally, so why do I have to go through that crappy tunnel?

Zhou Xiaozhou felt a little regretful at this moment.

Chen Dahe continued to ask: "How many people does Changren eat at a time? Did your teacher Zhou and the others eat more or less the last time?"

Chen Dahe's questions hit the nail on the head. Zhou Xiaozhou also wanted to know about these things.

Unfortunately, Wu Sanmei shook her head again: "I don't know. Sometimes it eats a lot, sometimes it eats less! Sometimes I give it a horned sheep, and it will eat it. I give it a dying mother, and it will eat it too. There is no fixed number."

Well, she is just a little girl and doesn't know much about these things.

In fact, it would be best to ask Village Chief Wu about these secrets. However, Zhou Xiaozhou was certain that the shrewd old man would not be as easy to talk to as his granddaughter.

"Then, is it because of Changren that the village doesn't raise chickens and ducks?" Zhou Xiaozhou recalled something that she found strange when she first came to the village.

This time, Wu Sanmei nodded affirmatively: "It always likes to steal food. When my mother gave birth to Xiaobao, my brother brought back a few pheasants from the mountains, but they were all stolen by it."

The little girl's face was puffed up when she talked about this, which showed that she was not lying.
