I clarified with Du Jie that the note left by Zhang Qi might not have been what he wanted to leave behind, but rather someone else's deliberate attempt to mislead us into thinking Zhang Qi had left. In reality, Zhang Qi was being hidden at home by Ah Xing and subjected to inhumane torture. Moreover, I also told Du Jie about the appearance of Zhang Qi that I saw and the process of his torture.

  I also told Du Jie that the blood of those women we sucked was a kind of emotional poison, called Blood Curse. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hanged himself on a woman's body and couldn't hold back from going to find her before eight o'clock. If this continues, Zhang Qi will be our role model!

  When Du Jie thoroughly understood, he was so scared that his face turned pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept pouring out. Looking at Sunzi's posture, it seemed like he was about to escape from the tent immediately...

  Du Jie is afraid, which doesn't surprise me at all because I know him too well. Although he has a lot of money, when something really happens, he's truly scared; he's not a brave person.

  "I said you little brat, why are you looking like you're going to abandon me and run away by yourself?" I shouted at him.

  "I...I didn't! What's that, Gu...Gu...Gui Yi, are you telling the truth? Are you kidding me?" Du Jie stared at me with wide eyes.

  "You idiot! At this time, what are you still looking for fun!" I scolded.

  "What's the hold up?! Let's hurry and run!" Du Jie was getting anxious.

  "Let's run for a bit! It doesn't matter if we run or not at this point, besides, we're not even sure... Ugh, forget it. I won't say some things to you. Wait, isn't there some festival or ritual in this village tonight? Let's go take a look and see if we can find anything out. To be honest, I'm curious too. After that, we can hit the road, anyway, it doesn't make a difference today."

  "But curiosity kills the cat!" Du Jie exclaimed loudly.

  "Look at you! You're a good-for-nothing who can't even handle two taels of oil in your dog belly! It was you who came to this village out of curiosity about their walking marriage custom. Now you're afraid? Want to run away? What did you do earlier?" I'm getting angry now.

  "I didn't think it would be this dangerous!"

  Seeing Du Jie Zhen becoming anxious, I whispered to him: "Alright! It's not a big deal, you don't have to be afraid. Since I've already sensed the danger, we won't get into trouble. My little abacus is ringing loudly in my heart. Tell me, how many times have you listened to me? When you messed up, wasn't it me who helped you settle things down? Even when you forced yourself on that female teacher, it was me who took care of you and made sure she didn't say anything. You've forgotten all these things? With me as your backbone, I'll guarantee you live at least a hundred years!"

  "Really... nothing can go wrong now?" Du Jie asked me cautiously.

  "Say it can't be done and it can't be done, stop nagging like a woman!" I said with impatience.

  Seeing the impatience on my face, Du Jie didn't ask any more questions and just lay down quietly with me, not eating or drinking anything. After Du Jie lay down, he asked me for a cigarette and took two puffs before saying to me...

  "Gu Yi, you said A Xing is torturing Qi Ge so much, but I think of that woman who messed with me. Now it seems that the woman who messed with me is also very strange!"

  "What kind of weird method is this?" I raised an eyebrow and stared at Du Jie.

  "I won't mention anything else, just last night, when I went there, I saw her scrubbing a dirty jar."

  "Make a jar?" When Du Jie mentioned the jar, I suddenly thought of the two jars next to Tingting's skylight at home, and the scene of women in the village moving back and forth on the wooden platform on the attic with these jars.

  "What is she doing with a jar?" I asked.

  "When I asked him, Du Jie replied to me: 'At that time, I saw her putting various medicinal herbs and some unknown powders into this vat. So I asked her what she was doing, and she turned around with a smile and told me that she was brewing some medicinal herbs for me to nourish my body. She said that after the medicinal herbs were brewed, as long as I soaked in the vat for a few days, it would definitely make me strong and energetic. At that time, I still thought she was considerate, but now it seems that I don't know what kind of medicine she was brewing for me!'"

  After Du Jie told me about this matter, I also had a premonition that something was not quite right. From the very beginning, I felt that there was something strange about this jar, but I didn't think much of it and thought it was just used for pickling vegetables or something. Now that Du Jie has gotten that woman to say that she uses this jar to soak medicine for Du Jie's health, I feel like there's a problem.

  At this time, you say that the medicine is for Du Jie to nourish his body, but I don't believe it. Even if it's not used to harm Du Jie, I'd still burn incense to ward off evil spirits. Who knows what kind of poison this is? It's just like the poisonous love curse in their blood, used to harm us.

  I thought it was very likely that something would harm Du Jie, so I got scared. To be honest, if I wasn't afraid, I'd be lying. I don't want my brother to get into trouble, and even more so, I don't want to end up like me being harmed by Han Jingjing in the future with a jar of herbal medicine.

  After thinking for a long time, I said to Du Jie: "I think this village is not for you to recover your body, but to harm you. Anyway, after we finish visiting their so-called sacrificial activities tonight, we will leave and thoroughly leave this village that exudes danger. This place can't be stayed in, if you want to find a woman, there are many outside, and you have plenty of money, spending money to find women is safer than staying here by several hundred times."

  After I said that, Du Jie repeatedly nodded in agreement, saying that no matter what, he would leave tonight. After all, he heard me say this to him, and also told him about Zhang Qi's situation and the so-called "Emotion Poison Blood Curse", this kid should be thoroughly scared now, and doesn't even mention women anymore.

  Like this, we two didn't say anything else either, lay down and fell asleep.

  To be honest, with so many things happening in one day, I really couldn't sleep. However, I knew I had to get a good rest and recharge my energy for the night, when I would sneak out to take a look at that so-called ritual ceremony in their village. I really wanted to figure out some of the things going on in this village, even though I knew it was very dangerous, but I just couldn't help myself, maybe I'm just born to be a troublemaker...

  It is said that every year on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, it is the annual "Ghost Festival" Zhongyuan. In Buddhism, it is called "Ullambana Festival". It is said that on this day, Yanluo Wang opens the gate of hell "Guimen Guan", allowing the imprisoned ghosts to come out and move freely until the end of July before returning to the underworld. Therefore, in the folk, it is customary to worship and invite the souls of the deceased during this period, burn incense money, paper clothes, wax candles, release river lanterns, and perform Buddhist rituals to pray for ancestors' blessings, eliminate disasters and increase good fortune, or help the deceased souls ascend to a higher realm and resolve grievances.

  The people of Magou Village chose to hold what they called a sacrificial ritual on this day, most likely something like worshiping their ancestors. But for this village that now seems mysterious and dangerous in my eyes, I feel that tonight's sacrificial ritual will be anything but ordinary. This is my personal intuition, although my intuition has never been accurate, I still stubbornly think so.

  At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was already dark, and the full moon was hanging high. I pulled Du Jie out of the tent, and then we both held binoculars to look towards the village. Because Du Jie's binoculars had night vision, we could see the situation in the village very clearly.

  Through the telescope, we found that this sacrificial activity in the village is really not simple at all!

  We found that in the center of the village, all the women in the village should be there. They were surrounding the bonfire, chatting and laughing with each other about something.

  What I mean by "not simple" is not just about their dressing, this time, I found that they were not wearing those ethnic minority costumes, but a uniform - naked!

  That's right! Naked, completely naked. One or two hundred beautiful women are naked in front of the bonfire, illuminated by the flames, can you imagine what a scene it would be? These are all perfect figures and stunning beauties, all of them are so charming that men can't move their feet when they see them. So many women, completely naked at night, participating in the ritual activities, this is simply too spectacular...

  As I watched this scene, my little heart was racing so fast. This is the most shocking scene I've ever seen. And Du Jie that kid was even more straightforward, he told me that if we could sneak in later, we must take his solar-powered mobile phone to capture it. If we can leave here safely, he will definitely post this picture on the internet and let millions of netizens experience the shock together. Watching this is absolutely more exciting than watching Cang Teacher...

  But I never thought that because of this sacrificial activity, I discovered a shocking secret in this village! These women are not psychologically abnormal wanting to torture us, nor do they want to make us slaves, but they are brewing an unimaginable and unbelievable huge conspiracy. This is a crazy village, a village that is hard to describe with language.

  Also, because I wanted to secretly observe this sacrificial activity, Du Jie and I almost got surrounded by nearly two hundred beauties!
