Chapter 233: Strange Village
Nomura.
"Wei Ye, this village is a little weird, there is obviously the trajectory of people's lives, but there is no breath of people, according to all the brothers who knocked on the door, there is no movement in the house. ”
After a long time, the knife came to Wei Xiaobao's side, frowned and said, with a solemn expression. After knocking for a long time, none of them opened the door, and not even a trace of sound came out.
Wei Xiaobao listened to Xiaodao's words, and had a plan to find out, the more weird the village, the more problematic it turned out. Since it's not clear, let's open the door one by one and take a look.
"Who!?"
But just as Wei Xiaobao was about to ask Xiaodao to take people to open the doors of every house, he suddenly saw a person standing behind a low wall.
So Wei Xiaobao looked at it fiercely and shouted.
With Wei Xiaobao's loud shout, everyone present found the figure, and without thinking too much, they quickly stepped forward and surrounded the person.
Behind the low wall, there was an old man dressed strangely, with a thin yellow face and a terminally ill appearance, holding a crutch taller than himself, and covered with fist-sized skeletons, like the skulls of babies, which echoed the masks on the faces of the members of the Heaven and Earth Society.
The old man stared at Wei Xiaobao without blinking, as if he had already seen the leader of Wei Xiaobao's group at a glance.
Wei Xiaobao raised his eyebrows, slowly walked in front of the old man, hugged his fists, smiled and said, "Old man, we are from an expedition team, passing by here, we want to ask for a bite to eat, I don't know if it's convenient or not?"
The old man looked at Wei Xiaobao for a moment, then looked at the black-clothed people around him, turned around and walked back.
"Eat something and get out of here, people here don't welcome people from outside the world. ”
The old man spoke as he walked, his voice hoarse.
"Good. ”
Wei Xiaobao nodded with a smile and followed behind the old man.
Soon, the crowd was led by the old man to the old man's house, a dilapidated thatched house, and a yard tied up with a fence.
There was a shabby square table in the courtyard, and around the square table were a few wooden stools, and the old man motioned for everyone to sit in the courtyard, and he hobbled to the thatched hut by himself.
Wei Xiaobao didn't care, sat on the stool by himself, turned his head and gestured to the knife, so that he could pay attention to the situation around him.
This village is indeed not simple, otherwise why did not a single person open the door after knocking on the door for a long time, but an old man suddenly appeared, and this old man did not have any fear when he saw that he was surrounded by more than a dozen people in black who were not good.
The knife did not sit, and like the other men, they all stood in the courtyard, looking guarded, and he also noticed that something was wrong with the old man.
It didn't take long for the old man to hobbled out with a wooden dustpan in his hand.
There are three bowls of water, three nests, three dishes of wild vegetables, and three pairs of chopsticks in the dustpan.
"There is only enough food at home to entertain three people, so you can divide it among yourself. ”
The old man whispered as he put down the things one by one.
"Thank you. ”
Wei Xiaobao hugged his fists and said with a smile.
After the old man put down his things, he slowly sat opposite Wei Xiaobao, not feeling that there was anything wrong with the courtyard being full of people all of a sudden, as if he didn't see it.
Wei Xiaobao picked up one of the bowls of water on the table, took a few sips, and burped unsatisfactorily.
"Old man, are you alone in your village, why don't you see anyone else?"
Wei Xiaobao pretended to have nothing to say while picking up a nest head and ate it directly.
"There's a custom here that every day at dawn, every family worships the gods, and it's not time to go out. ”
The old man paused for a moment and said slowly.
"Then why did you leave so early?"
Wei Xiaobao asked curiously.
"Half of the people are buried, and the gods can't save me. ”
The old man shook his head and said.
Listening to the old man's words, Wei Xiaobao wondered in his heart, if it was really a custom, if he was really so superstitious about the gods, how could he not do it because he was about to die?
"Old man, let me ask you about something. ”
Wei Xiaobao looked at the old man with a smile and changed the topic.
The old man didn't speak, and looked at Wei Xiaobao quietly, as if he was waiting for Wei Xiaobao to ask.
"You've lived here for so long, have you ever seen some people in black cloaks haunt this neighborhood?
Wei Xiaobao asked, staring at the old man's eyes tightly.
Hearing Wei Xiaobao's words, the old man's face changed instantly, although it was fleeting, it still did not escape Wei Xiaobao's eyes.
"Why don't you eat it? There's enough food for three people. ”
The old man didn't answer Wei Xiaobao's words, turned his head to look at the other people standing in the courtyard, and asked strangely.
"They don't go hungry. ”
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said lightly.
"Then drink some water. ”
The old man continued, suddenly becoming enthusiastic.
"Neither are they thirsty. ”
Wei Xiaobao continued to refuse.
Hearing Wei Xiaobao reject himself twice in a row, the old man suddenly stood up, flipped over the things on the table, sank his face, and glared at Wei Xiaobao.
"Let's go! You're not welcome here!
The old man kept pounding the ground with his crutches and said coldly.
Looking at the old man who suddenly seemed to be a different person, a sneer appeared on the corner of Wei Xiaobao's mouth, and he slowly stood up.
But when he just stood up, he suddenly couldn't help but look around, outside the fence wall, I don't know when many people appeared, wearing the same clothes as old people, men and women.
But there were only no children, all of them looked dull, and their eyes looked straight at Wei Xiaobao and the others.
The knife also noticed this change, and turned to look at it sharply, with a look of surprise.
These people don't know when they appeared, not to mention the knife, even Wei Xiaobao didn't find it.
"Let's go. ”
Wei Xiaobao frowned, glanced at everyone, and took the lead in walking out of the courtyard.
Xiaodao had a calm face, beckoned more than a dozen of his subordinates to follow Wei Xiaobao quickly.
......
On the road.
"Master Wei, did you notice when those people appeared outside the fence?"
Xiaodao followed Wei Xiaobao's side, frowning as he walked.
"Nope. ”
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and continued to walk forward.
Hearing Wei Xiaobao's answer, Xiaodao's brows furrowed even tighter, and he thought that Wei Xiaobao had already felt it.
"It's so weird, there is not a single child in the village, could it be that the skull on the old man's crutches is ......"
Halfway through his words, he couldn't go on, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"They must have some connection to the undead. ”
Wei Xiaobao said in a deep voice.
"Is that village the lair of the undead?"
Knife's eyes widened in surprise and asked loudly.
"Probably not, there are no people in the village who know martial arts, unless they are all first-class masters, otherwise they can't hide it from me. ”
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said affirmatively.
Everyone stopped talking, and all continued to walk forward silently, but everyone's heart seemed to be pressing a piece of something, suppressing everyone's nerves.
There is one thing Wei Xiaobao didn't say, the bowl of water and the nest head were poisoned by people, if it weren't for his deep internal strength, I'm afraid it would have been unimaginable.
