Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 767: Human eaters!

" But that still does not explain why we are in trouble?" Ye Liu asked with a slight crease between his brows, his wife had sent the word out to other villages that no one should eat the meat of those animals and livestock that died in the flood if the other village did not listen to his wife's suggestion just what can they do?         

    

Village head Gu knew this as well but the thing was that when a person was pushed into a corner they forget all about right and wrong, with her lips curled in an eerie smile, Village head Gu continued to answer Ye Liu's question, " The problem is not that the villagers of the big stone village are dying, as long as they stay in their own village, we have nothing to worry about but the thing is …." As Village head Gu remembered what her cousin who married into the Big Mountain village told her, she could not help but gag, at first she thought that what her cousin was telling was nothing but nonsense but then he told her that the villagers of his Village saw a pile of human bones being dug up from the outskirts of the Big stone village and she had to believe it.      

" The thing is that those villagers are now cornered to the point of eating children and the widowed mers!"

Her words caused a small explosion in the heads of the mers, Jiang Fenhua who did not expect to hear something so barbaric immediately covered his mouth as he started to feel sick. He might not be pampered by his mother in the house where he grew up but he was someone who lived in the city and have never heard of something like this before.      

Seeing that Jiang Fenhua was getting sick Chen Mi who was looking rather pale as well pulled the pregnant mer to the outside of the house where the latter could throw up with ease, in the inside of the living room Ye Liu and Shen Li also looked like they were going to be sick which was Yu Dong said to them patiently, " You two, you can go and take a breather as well."      

But how can the two of them leave their wife in such a lurch? This was not a small thing! Eating humans? That was really —— they did not even have the correct words to describe the kind of sin that the villagers of the big stone village were committing.      

Yu Dong however hardly showed any reaction, in the past she had seen people eating the rotten zombies when they were pushed into a corner, so how can something like this faze her? She calmly looked at Village head Gu and solemnly asked, " Is the information correct?"      

" Of course it is," said Village head Gu without even batting an eye, she was afraid that if she did not say one thing after another, she will end up hurling along with the others. " I saw the pile of human bones which my cousin was talking about, they were eaten clean and some were even nibbled….my cousin said that because the human bones were buried at the fork of the two villages they could not even go to the authorities lest the villagers of the big stone village pinned the blame on their village."      

Village head Gu shuffled uncomfortably in her seat and then said, " Because of this I asked around the other villages and found out that the widowed mers and orphan children in the big stone village have been eaten already, now only the ones who are married are left…though once in a while the mer who is least favoured by his wife will be sacrificed, I am afraid that …soon they will come attacking the other villages as well."     

The big stone village was already small in population from the beginning and with this flood and flu, their numbers decreased even further, there were not many villagers left in the village anymore, soon the villagers that can be sacrificed will run out as well and after that? After that surely those monsters will come looking for their village!      

At this moment, Village head Gu was very upset. She was regretting that villagers like big stone village were staying next to her village, those human-eating monsters who do not deserve to even stay alive much less live next to her village!

Yu Dong also frowned when she heard Village head Gu's words, she had a good idea of what was going on in the village. There were many mers who were pregnant at the moment and many have given birth to big fat babies, at the moment if there was any village that was in grave danger then it could be said that it was her village.      

What was more if the villagers were to go outside and come into contact with other villagers and developed the symptoms of flu then it will be really troublesome as well.      

Seeing that Yu Dong was silent, Village head Gu could not help but ask worriedly, " Miss Yu what should we do now?"      

Yu Dong did not answer right away instead she thought about the situation carefully only then did she open her mouth and started reciting their next steps, " For now build two heavily secured shacks on either side of the village entrance," she then pulled a paper and brush before drawing a barricade pole that could be used manually and then added, " Ask the villagers who are strong and sturdy to build a stone wall around the places from where the other village people can sneak inside."      

" Four women who can fight well will be positioned at the shacks day and night they will interchange their duties accordingly, and I will pay them five hundred copper coins a month for their hard work," Yu Dong knew that as long as she paid a hefty sum the women in the village will work hard, five hundred copper coins was half of a silver tael so of course the women will pay special attention to this job.      

She thought of something and then added, " Along with that add ten more women and young girls to patrol around the village, if they see something strange then they need to alert us at once, it does not matter if they are strong or not as long as they do a good job, their pay will be three hundred coins for the time being and …." Yu Dong thought for a moment before adding,      

" Spread the word that if any villager is suffering from the symptoms of flu then I am willing to take care of their meals as well as their family's if they are the only bread earner, until they get better, there will be no lack of meat and grain but if someone dares to hide their sickness or try to help their sick relatives causing the villagers' safety to be endangered, they will be answering me, got it?"     New chapters are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.net
