"Don't kill me." Pu'er shouted. "I said it, I said it, isn't it okay?"
"Continue."
The surrounding villagers had already been suppressed by Dick's momentum and did not dare to stop him.
"My father, my father was actually killed by Jatu. My father became Monster, and they shot him to death."
"What's going on? Please explain it more clearly."
"Monster, Monster, my father has become Monster."
Pu'er looked confused. When Dick saw this, he said directly, "Take me to the cemetery."
"I'll take you there."
Green on the side said, "Look, he is in this state now...
"That's fine."
Then, Dick looked around. "You all should disperse."
The villagers had already wanted to leave. If they hadn't been suppressed by Dick's momentum, they would have nodded one after another and slipped away home.
Pu'er was about to leave, but Dick said directly, "You want to come with me too, is there any problem?"
"No, no problem."
"Oh, by the way." Then he patted Pu'er on the shoulder, "Be polite to my colleagues, you know?"
"Not just the two of us, every demon hunter you meet in the future must be polite, just like you treat me."
"I know, I know." Pu'er said with a headache.
Then Dick turned back and said, "Tyson, Professor Seir, do you want to go with me?"
"No need, we'll stay here just in case something unexpected happens." Tyson replied.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Subsequently, Dick, Green, and Pu'er passed through the center of the village, bypassed a trail, and soon arrived at the cemetery.
There is a stone-carved tomb in the most luxurious position in the center of the cemetery. The soil in front of the tomb has been thrown away. This is the tomb of the former village chief.
"We don't dare to touch the corpse inside, and it's freezing cold here, so it won't rot for a while."
"I understand." Dick nodded and slowly walked into the grave. Then he came to the corpse and squatted down.
Looking at the dead old man in front of him, Dick first used his fingers to pry open his mouth and found that there was no tongue inside. He probed inside with his fingers and groped around again, knowing that it should have been cut off by the root.
Then, Dick discovered that there were several holes in front of the dead village chief, which looked like arrow wounds.
In other words, Jatu shot him to death.
But then why did Pu'er say that his father turned into a monster?
After reading it several times, I still have no clue.
Suddenly, Dick remembered something and opened the deceased's eyes with his fingers.
Compound eyes!
Compound eyes like insects!
The eyes are no different from those of a giant mantis.
Dick stood up and came to Pu'er: "Are you calmer now? Tell me about it. I believe you can express it well."
Pu'er swallowed and said, "Green was temporarily elected as the village chief by the villagers. I know that he actually doesn't want to be the village chief."
"Speaking of business."
"Okay, okay, here it is, a group of Jatu bandits came here two days ago, wanting to burn, kill and loot.
"And my father told them that there is a Withered Manor a few kilometers away. It is very rich there, and unlike our village where there are only old and weak people, the girls there are particularly nourishing.
"So those bandits went to the Withered Manor."
Dick Suddenly, it turns out that the Jatu bandit went to Kardashian's manor for this reason.
"Then why did they kill your father?"
"I think they are venting their anger.
"There are people in our village who understand the Jatu language. It is said that these bandits were defeated in Odinburg, and they were defeated by Order of the Falcon.
"But they said that the one who really defeated them was a demon hunter. If the demon hunter hadn't defended the city, they would have invaded long ago.
"Hey, by the way, they said that the demon hunter has red hair. They are not talking about you, right? Master Dick."
Pu'er looked shocked.
"It's not important." Dick shook his head and said, "Go on."
"Okay, okay. Then they said, my father must have enjoyed all his glory and wealth before, and they wanted to have some fun with him.
"Then the men took out a bottle and forced what little liquid was left in the bottle into my father's mouth."
"That makes sense. No wonder the deceased was not completely demonized. What happened after they finished feeding them the potion?"
"My father went crazy and wanted to attack these Jatu, but was shot to death by Jatu."
"Then they left?"
"Yes, our village is very poor, and there is nothing but a hot spring in the mountains.
"And they are afraid that there will be pursuers and they will kill us and waste time."
"Okay, I understand, what else?"
"... No, no more?"
"Really?" Dick stared at Pu'er, who was trembling and speechless.
"Let me tell you, Master Dick." Green said on the side,
"Actually, the village chief asked us to save him before he drank the potion, but no one dared to take action.
"Pu'er also pushed the village chief in front of Jatu and said: 'I can only sacrifice you to save us all. Isn't that the village chief's duty?'"
"Sure enough, the father is kind and the son is filial!" Dick sneered and looked at Pu'er, who lowered his head and looked timid.
"No wonder this deceased person is obsessed, no wonder they let you," Dick looked Green up and down, "Let you be the village chief, I dare you to take the blame."
"What are you taking the blame for?" Green scratched his head.
"Nothing, Pu'er, now call the villagers and ask them to bring tools to carry the village chief's body back to the courtyard."
"Okay, okay." Pu'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran towards the village.
After a while, the villagers returned with bitter faces, led by Pu'er.
They really don't want to come here, but they don't dare to disobey Dick's order.
Following Dick's instructions, Pu'er obediently used wooden boards to place his father's body on the wooden boards with the help of surrounding villagers. Finally, everyone returned to the courtyard.
Dick felt a little hungry, so he asked the villagers to make some food for him, Tyson and Professor Seir.
Afterwards, he knelt down on the ground and began to recharge his batteries.
It wasn't until around 10 o'clock in the evening that Dick opened his eyes.
This was the time of death of the former village chief.
Soon the villagers set up a fire, lit the village chief's body, and then had people carry out the tied little mute and place it next to the fire.
Then he asked Pu'er to kneel beside the fire, repenting and admitting his mistake.
Dick estimate:
The village chief's soul became obsessed because of his son's betrayal. If Pu'er truly admits his mistake, the village chief's obsession will disappear.
But seeing that the village chief had been completely cremated, the tongue on the little mute's face had completely stopped flapping, but he was still unconscious.
Dick came to the dying little mute, opened his eyelids, and found that there was still a rich, deep black mist in his eyes.
