Chapter IV Investigation of Linjia Village
"Well done, Ge. You've actually started practicing martial arts. Wang Zhutou came from the side.
"It's thanks to you, Uncle Wang, who taught me the Tiger Fist technique. ”
"Yes, yes, you are very talented in martial arts, I am optimistic about you. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Wang. ”
Ge Tian respectfully saluted Wang Zhutou with both hands in his fists.
"Hey, don't be so polite. Come, put the wild boar on your back, although this pig is small, it can be sold for seven or eight hundred dollars, don't waste it. ”
As he spoke, Wang Zhutou wrapped the wild boar's belly around with a cloth, and then called Ge Tian to carry it on his back.
Although this wild boar is only a teenager, it is also 200 pounds.
Thanks to Ge Tian, he is also a martial artist who has a strong body, otherwise such a heavy wild boar would not be able to carry it at all.
Next, Wang Zhutou walked behind Ge Tian, pointed out Ge Tian's road, and continued to Linjia Village.
Ge Tian carried the wild boar on his back and walked with heavy steps. It's summer again, and the hot sweat is dripping, wetting the placket.
"How long will it take for Uncle Wang to get to Linjia Village? It's too far!" Ge Tian looked at the endless path and couldn't help but complain.
"It's coming, it's coming. ”
"Half an hour ago, you said the same thing. ”
"At your rate, it's estimated that there will be another 1 hour, just in time for noon, and you can still catch up for a hot meal. ”
When Ge Tian heard this, he looked helpless, so he had to speed up his march slightly. From slow walking to normal walking speed.
This time, Ge Tian was no longer afraid, and he was safe all the way.
I finally arrived at Linjia Village before 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
There are a total of 457 households in Linjia Village, with nearly 1,400 people. It can be said to be one of the largest villages outside Pingdong City.
Ge Tian and Wang Yu walked quickly on the path at the entrance of the village, it was lunch time, and the whole village was full of smoke, full of incense.
"You see, it's not here, just in time for dinner, come with me. Wang Zhu said quickly, and walked in front of Ge Tian to lead the way.
Ge Tian was still carrying a 200-pound wild boar on his back, and he was tired and panting and followed behind.
In Linjia Village, the location of each household is staggered, vaguely forming a labyrinth-like effect, and ordinary people may want to get lost in it.
Ge Tian followed Wang Zhu around quickly, looking curiously at the rural scene of this different world, and found that it was similar to the ancient countryside.
Gray walls and black tiles, a courtyard-like house.
After a while, I came to the door of a family, which was obviously a big family, and it should be a relatively high-status person in the village.
"Knock, knock"
The king came forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"Is Village Chief Lin here? I'm Wang An, the catcher from Pingdong City, who came to investigate the demon incident. ”
"Squeak, squeak"
A little gray-haired old man opened the door and came out.
"It turned out to be Wang An, who is this little brother?"
"He's a newcomer, and he hasn't been recruited for a long time, and his name is Ge Tian. ”
"Oh, don't stand at the door, come in and talk about it. ”
"Come to Xiaoge, put the wild boar in the yard of the village chief's house. ”
"Okay, Uncle Wang. ”
Ge Tian and Wang Zhutou followed Village Chief Lin into the living room of his house.
"Village Chief Lin, the wild boar outside was caught by us on the road, so let's kill it for lunch. ”
"Hahaha, okay, I'll tell my subordinates to do it. Village Chief Lin was very happy to hear that Wang Zhutou was going to kill the wild boar for cooking.
"Village Chief Lin, which family in your village died more than 20 last night!"
"It's Lin Hai's house at the foot of the mountain in the east, it's the big landlord in the village, and we heard them screaming at night, and we were all afraid and didn't dare to go.
When I went to look again in the morning, I found that they had all turned into dried corpses, and the blood was all over their bodies, which was terrifying. This is the first time that a demon has directly attacked it, and no demon has ever entered the village before. ”
"Can you take us there? ”
"Okay, then, when I'm done eating, I'll let the family take you to have a look. ”
"Then thank you to the village chief. Wang Zhutou clasped his fists and bowed.
At noon, Ge Tian and Wang Zhutou had a sumptuous meal at the village chief's house, with big fish and meat.
"Thank you Village Chief Lin for your hospitality. ”
"You're polite, you're polite, so I'll have someone take you. ”
"Dog, you take the two officials to Lin Hai's house in the east of the village to have a look. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
A young man dressed in gray linen walked up to Ge Tian and Wang Zhukuai.
"Two officials, please come with me. ”
Ten minutes later, Ge Tian and the three came to Lin Hai's house.
Lin Hai is worthy of being a big landlord in the village, and his home is a standard four-entry courtyard. It can be regarded as one of the few mansions in the village.
The four-entry courtyard is that four houses are enclosed in a courtyard, and a total of four courtyards are connected. It's about fifteen hundred squares.
"The two officials will go in by themselves, and I'll wait outside. ”
"Good. ”
The door of Lin Hai's house has been opened, and it seems that the villagers came to open it in the morning.
Wang Zhutou walked in first. Ge Tian saw that Uncle Wang was walking fast, and he hurriedly followed.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a middle-aged stout woman in a white linen dress, lying on her back on the ground, her face was pale and hideous, as if she had experienced great pain, and there were two black round holes in her neck.
As if she had been caught up by something, she threw herself to the ground from the front, biting her neck and sucking up all the blood from her body.
"Uncle Wang, what kind of demon did this, it's really terrible!"
"It's a lot like a zombie, sucking the blood of the human body, and there is still corpse poison in the tooth hole in this neck. ”
"Zombie? Then she was bitten to death, why hasn't she turned into a zombie?"
"All the essence, blood, and bone marrow in her body have been sucked out.
Now it's just a pile of rotten meat, and it can't be transformed at all. Let's take a look inside and keep up with me. ”
"Okay, Uncle Wang. ”
Ge Tian cautiously followed Wang Zhu, and looked back from time to time to observe, for fear that if a zombie suddenly rushed out and bit him, it would be over.
Continuing to go deep into the courtyard of Lin Hai's house, he found that there were people in the houses and courtyards wearing linen clothes or silk clothes, lying on their backs on the ground.
There was a frightened expression on his face, as if something terrifying was there, and the exposed skin was even more bloodless, and he had been sucked up by the zombies and turned into human beings.
Until Ge Tian followed Wang Yu to the back, the master bedroom of Lin Hai's house.
As soon as the door was opened, a figure felt the sunlight and immediately ducked into the shadows.
It's just over one o'clock, and the summer midday sun is very strong, and the ultraviolet rays are even stronger.
"Ge boy, be careful, there is a zombie here that has been transformed. ”
Ge Tian poked his head out from behind Wang Zhukuai, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man in silk, curled up on the bed, where he could hide from the sun.
Ge Tian saw that it had not seen anyone and pounced fiercely, so he cautiously opened the two windows in the room under the cover of Wang Zhukuai, and more sunlight shone in.
The zombie sensed it and shrank into the shadows desperately, for fear of being exposed to the sun.
Ge Tian concentrated his attention, staring at the zombie, and sure enough, the system annotation floated out again.
"Lin Hai (Purple Zombie, the incomplete form of a zombie that has just been transformed)"
"Realm: Quenching body half heavy (purple zombie strength is less than one weight)"
"Random kills: 10 XP, 100 taels of silver tickets. ”
