Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Despite their suspicions about the situation inside the house, Josh could not resist asking, “What

happened in the room?”

Hannah withdrew her feet in fear and huddled closer to Lilly.

The old woman’s voice was filled with grief and anger as she shared, “A little girl was sitting by the

edge of the bed. However, she wore a layer of human skin and was gnawing on a piece of flesh!”

As soon as she was discovered, the creature wearing human skin swiftly fled with a swoosh,

disappearing into the mountains and forests in an instant.

Trembling, the elderly couple approached the bed and lifted the blanket, only to witness a scene of

blood and gore. All that remained of their son were his skull and a few strands of hair…

Chills ran down everyone’s spines upon hearing this, and the harem spirit yelled out in disbelief.

Lilly asked, “What’s next? How did you manage to capture her and preserve her in a sauerkraut jar?”

The old woman’s tone shifted from grief to resentment.

“Our son was the breadwinner of our family, and we relied on him… Now we have nothing, and our

hope for a future has vanished.”

They were filled with resentment, of course, and hated themselves for their greediness. But it was due

to their greed and their carelessness that they ended up causing their son to die, which they could not

bear.

The entire village became aware of this incident, and some older folks whispered in horror, claiming

that this creature wearing human skin was a monster from the mountains and forests, known as Pretty

Flesh.

Countless lives were lost in the Medali War. The vengeful spirits merged into human flesh, gradually

turning it into a spirit.

They survived by consuming human flesh and blood, particularly targeting the flesh and blood of young

and strong men. They generally avoided confrontation, fleeing after feasting on their sleeping victims.

The old couple desired to capture Pretty Flesh and avenge their son.

However, Pretty Flesh never appeared again, and as the two grew older, the village, which had initially

been in a state of panic, gradually returned to normal.

During that period, the old couple was weakened and faced difficulties in harvesting their crops,

resulting in a shortage of food. They became too fearful to cook and eat vegetables, so they resorted to

growing some mustard greens and making sauerkraut for survival. They cooked sauerkraut porridge to

sustain themselves.

Given her old age and fearlessness, the old woman wished to preserve the Pretty Flesh in a jar through

pickling.

“At that time, there was a girl in the village who constantly quarreled with her husband’s family and

sought death every day. Eventually, she hung herself…”

At this point, Flesh snorted and interrupted, saying, “What do you mean she hung herself? She was

immortal, but the old woman kept telling her every day that there was no reason to live such a life and

that it would be better to die. She provoked the girl, knowing well that she was prone to crying, causing

trouble, and threatening to hang herself if her husband’s family continued mistreating her.”

Under Flesh’s manipulation, the girl hung herself one day when she felt cornered.

Josh and the others immediately recalled the village they had recently passed through, where they

witnessed a room with only one chair and a woman hanging from the beam…

Lilly asked, “And then?”

The old woman hesitated but continued, “After the girl’s death, her husband became a widower. Then,

the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had been constantly quarreling, and everyone knew that the

mother-in-law was difficult to get along with…”

Their family desired to find a new spouse for the widower, but naturally, no one was willing to marry into

their family.

“I tried my best to spread the word.”

Pretty Flesh sought out young and strong men who were single. With a strong man in the village now,

the old couple eagerly hoped to attract Pretty Flesh.

“She came!” the old woman sneered, “After a whole six years, she finally reappeared.”

“She made up another excuse, claiming that she was betrayed by her own family and fled here…

pretending to be pitiful.”

“So that night, while they were in their bridal chamber, we stood guard outside their house. When we

heard strange noises, we rushed in and tied her up with a rope soaked in the blood of a black dog for

many years…”

Everyone expressed amazement at their bravery!

Lilly furrowed her brow and asked, “So, was the second victim, the other strong man eaten up by her?”

Flesh snorted, “Of course not. If I hadn’t let my guard down while I was feasting on his flesh, they

wouldn’t have been able to capture me.”

Lilly was quiet.

In other words, the two elders were intentionally using other people as bait to lure Prettxo.com

fast updatey Flesh without any regard for the lives of their sons.

Her assumption was correct, and now it was time for Pretty Flesh to speak out, “They captured me, but

the strong man was already dead, only half of his body remained with flesh and blood. His elderly

parents went mad, and his mother fell to her death on the stone steps in the courtyard.”

Capturing Pretty Flesh was not an easy task. After a fierce struggle, the elderly men from both families

perished, leaving only the old woman who managed to seize and stuff her into the sauerkraut jar.

“The sauerkraut jar had been soaked in dog blood, and I couldn’t resist once I was trapped inside.”

I could only scream and try to push her away, while the old woman desperately pushed me down.

They fought each other to the death until the old woman died. Even in their final moments, their hands

remained pressed against me, determined to keep me submerged in the vat.

More than a century passed. The old woman’s arm gradually transformed into a spirit, still pressing

down on Pretty Flesh.

The dog’s blood had long dried up, but Flesh remained trapped beneath the skeletal arm, which had

also turned into a ghost. It could no longer escape. After starving for more than a century, it gradually

lost its strength…

Over time, the village went through several generations, witnessed the fall of the Dynasty, and

experienced wars, famine, plagues, and population migrations…

Gradually, only the elderly people remained in the village, and all of them passed away, leaving behind

a ghostly village as the sole reminder of their existence.

The village became eerie and secluded, preventing anyone from venturing into the mountains. In later

years, as roads were constructed, there were instances where the people involved in construction

projects temporarily stayed in the village. However, strange occurrences and strange phenomena

happened to them. Gradually, the village became engulfed by the encroaching mountains and forests,

remaining in its current state.

The abandoned village attracted wandering spirits passing through, and some ghosts chose to make it

their home. The only things that remained the same were the old woman who pickled sauerkraut and

Pretty Flesh, who was trapped in the sauerkraut jar.

Oh, and there was also the girl who hung herself and her grief-stricken mother-in-law, who remained

sitting in a daze at the door, forever locked in their tragic fate.

Having listened to the story, Lilly and the others now understood.

“So, what about the three other members?” Lilly inquired.

The mysterious team consisted of seven members, including Mr. Shaw. Mr. Shaw, Colton, and the four

members who were rescued out of the tank had been rescued, leaving three members who were yet to

be found.
