"": 200, "": "", "": "It was night, still as water, a night with only scattered footsteps, faint knocks at doors, and whispers coaxing people to open up.
Every night in Cabinet Mountain Village was like this.
For many years, at least, Cabinet Mountain Village had maintained this delicate balance and peace.
But lately, Cabinet Mountain Village had been anything but peaceful.
Twenty-nine outsiders had entered and disappeared.
The Chen Sisters' whereabouts were unknown.
No one knew whether Zhang Yunling was alive or dead.
After all those years spent searching for a way out of the village, the route had turned out to be wrong.
There had even been Two-Legged Sheep entering the village, and they had attacked the Village Chief, Zhong Zhicheng...
Worse still, Luo Feng's entire family had disappeared.
After Zhong Zhicheng stripped Luo Feng of his position as team leader, his family vanished without a trace, leaving the people of Cabinet Mountain Village even more unsettled.
True, many people had a problem with Luo Shan, but not without reason. What a piece of work he was. With his father leading the Able-Bodied Team, he threw his weight around Cabinet Mountain Village, stealing, swindling, and cheating at every turn. He and Zhang Jun's gang had caused the village plenty of trouble.
But lately, Luo Shan seemed to have become an entirely different person.
He had led the way to Qiang Village and discovered that You Jiang ate people.
Little by little, he was changing the villagers' opinion of him. Some men in the Able-Bodied Team even said he had more ability than his father and might one day surpass him.
And now these two men, father and son, who could have helped Cabinet Mountain Village, were simply gone.
Who could feel easy about that?
