"You don't want to eat?" Wang Wei asked, his hand already reaching for my lunch, and I nodded.

"I'll rub it, why is yours braised pork? Are there different varieties? Eh, what is yours third uncle?" Seeing Wang Wei robbing other people's lunches one by one, the whole courtyard smiled bitterly.

Except for the little bit of relaxation that Wang Wei created during the meal, the whole courtyard was silent all day, and from time to time someone wanted to break the promise and lead to some topics such as when we could go out and what happened, but the topic was quickly terminated by a silent shaking of the head.

The topic of breaking the silence came from the visitors after lunch.

In the afternoon, the courtyard was still quiet after dinner, and suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open, and three or four people in protective clothing walked in. When the leader entered, he took off the shield on his head, and a warrior behind him tried to stop him, but he stopped him with a gesture.

"Hello everyone, I am the chief physician of this special incident, my surname is Yang, you can call me Dr. Yang. I'm here today to tell you that this special incident is not so terrible, as long as we actively cooperate with the investigation, I guarantee that everyone can get out of this village safely. Of course, the premise is that everyone should actively cooperate, and there will be a doctor who will come to check your body later, if you have a headache or dizziness, as long as you feel uncomfortable in your head, you must tell the doctor, and if the doctor is not there, you can inform the guards on duty at the door in time......"

Dr. Yang has been explaining to us what we need to know about handling special events, but I noticed something strange, only to see that one of the people who followed Dr. Yang in kept making small gestures at me. I couldn't tell who it was under the heavy protective suit. I don't seem to know anyone like that? What's the matter? Did I get tricked too? I don't want to die, I just became a millionaire, and I want to get out alive. Just when my thoughts were a little off, Dr. Yang finished his knowledge popularization, said a few comforting words, and then turned his head and walked out of the door with a few people, only to see the person who kept making small movements at me just now, and gestured to me, as if waiting for the meeting.

Do I really know him?

Not long after Dr. Yang left, the village chief came to the courtyard with a group of doctors, and we asked the village chief about the situation while the doctors were examining.

The village chief didn't know much, he probably knew that more than thirty people died yesterday by the Sword Lake and the people who died in the villagers' homes combined, and there were people dying every night in the past few days, and they were all young and strong young people, they should have been to the Sword Lake on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the way of death was exactly the same, that is, the brain disappeared without trauma.

The village chief also knew so much, and he still knew it by listening to the doctors and the police, and he didn't know whether it was true or not. After the village chief got up and repeatedly told us that we had something to do, he called him and went out with a few doctors to the next house.

I'll go, what's the situation, I haven't heard of hurting people's brains without hurting the body? The whole brain is gone, this is impossible? Could it be that the village chief overheard someone else talking and heard it wrong.........

After the village chief left, the people in the courtyard finally found a common topic, and several people got together to discuss the brain-wrenching epidemic.

At this moment, an old man in the courtyard came up to us on crutches, coughed dryly, and then said to us, "Young man, what did you just say?

Wang Wei looked back, immediately got up, respectfully gave up his stool to the old man to sit down, and then whispered in the old man's ear, "That, the third master, we are talking about the human brain is gone"

"Whose brain is missing?" the third master asked anxiously

"The brains of those who died yesterday are gone"

"Ahh......h

Seeing that the third master suddenly looked like this, Wang Wei hurriedly took the third master's hand and asked, "Third master, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

The third master grabbed Wang Wei's hand tightly and said, "Wang Wei, run, run, run quickly with the young people in the village, it will be too late......... Run!"

The three masters held Wang Wei's hands and the tendons burst out, looking at the nearly ninety-year-old man, Wang Wei tried a few times and couldn't pull his hand out of the hands of the three masters, and then looked at Wang Wei's expression, it seemed that he had been frightened a little awkward by the reaction of the three masters.

The people on the side dragged and comforted, and the three masters gradually let go of the hand holding Wang Wei.

Wang Wei rubbed his hands that were pinched and painful, and asked the three masters, "Three masters, what's wrong?" What scared you, just now the doctor said that as long as you don't go out, it's okay, there are doctors when you're sick, don't be afraid, three masters" After speaking, he also patted the three uncles on the shoulder.

"Go, go, if you don't go, it's too late" At this time, the three masters had empty eyes, and kept repeating words like walking quickly, ignoring Wang Wei at all.

Wang Wei turned his head to the other family members for help, but everyone shook their heads at him everywhere he looked.

Half an hour later, the symptoms of the third master improved slightly, and after drinking a little sugar water, looking at his gradually ruddy face, we were sure that he should be fine. Wang Wei asked tentatively again, "Third master, do you know anything, can you tell us about it?"

The third master asked the person next to him for a cigarette and took a deep breath, but in exchange for a violent cough, he looked at the cigarette, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself, "Smoke again, maybe you can't smoke again" After taking a deep puff of cigarettes, the three masters told us a legend from a long, long time ago. Strictly speaking, he only listened to his grandfather tell this story, and it was a long, long time ago.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of Wang Wei and his clan brought their people to this village to escape the war, but an earthquake in the middle of the Qing Dynasty brought disaster to this village. Disasters do not come from an earthquake, but after an earthquake.

Originally, it was only a minor earthquake, but it did not cause any major disasters, and there were only a few families whose houses that were not usually very reliable collapsed, and no one was injured. But at the time of the earthquake, someone saw a black fog on the Sword Lake, and the roar of wild beasts could be faintly heard in the fog. The old man in the village said that it was the Shenlong who lived in the Sword Lake who was angry, so it caused an earthquake, and in order to appease the Shenlong patriarch in the Sword Lake, he organized the clansmen to kill pigs and slaughter sheep, and prepared various tributes and chose a good day and auspicious day to lead the clansmen to the Sword Lake to worship the Shenlong.

On the day of the worship, under the leadership of the patriarch, the worship ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner according to the pre-prepared procedures, but when it came to the sacrifice, there was a problem. When the person in charge of placing the sacrifices put the sacrifices on the altar and prepared to return them, they felt a biting wind blowing, and the surface of the Sword Lake suddenly bubbled up like the water was boiling, and in a blink of an eye, the bubbles of Kung Fu had covered the entire lake, and there was a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

"The dragon has appeared, the dragon has appeared, everyone kneel, kneel" In the trembling shouts of the old clan, everyone knelt on the ground in unison, and kept kowtowing to the lake.

After everyone knelt down and bowed three times, the originally swollen lake suddenly calmed down, and no other sound could be heard on the entire Sword Lake except for the sound of the waterfall falling.

Everyone didn't dare to get up, but they still maintained a kneeling posture, stood up, stretched their necks and looked into the sword lake. I saw that the water in the daily calm Sword Lake was slowly flowing without any wind blowing, and it flowed in one direction, and gradually formed a whirlpool in the center of the lake, only to see that the whirlpool eye was getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of the water flow was getting faster and faster.

With the flow of the whirlpool, the water level of the Sword Lake also dropped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, all the water in the lake flowed into the bottom of the lake, and a large black hole with a diameter of four or five meters appeared at the bottom of the lake.

After seeing the big hole, several brave people had already gotten up and walked to the location of the lake, and some even picked up stones and threw them into the bottomless hole.

The patriarch saw that it was too late to stop the actions of several people, and after the stone fell into the hole, he only heard a roar, which was like the roar of an animal. I only felt that the ground under my feet suddenly trembled, and several old and frail people had been shaken to the ground, and then a column of water sprayed out of the hole, the water column was as wide as the entrance of the hole, but the height was immeasurable, according to the old people present at the time, this water column was 100 meters high.

Along with the water jets, there was a constant black mist, and the roars of animals were constantly heard in the mist.

The black fog spread towards the few people standing on the shore at a speed visible to the naked eye, and before the people on the shore could react, they were shrouded in the black fog.

The screams of several people surrounded by the black fog followed one after another, and the screams stopped in less than a minute, and through the thick fog, only a few people could be vaguely seen lying on the ground.

"Dead man!" I don't know who shouted, everyone stood up with a cheer and rushed towards the only path, and a few slow ones were shrouded in the black fog again, and fell into the black fog again in two minutes. After the people in front saw the people behind them fall, they pushed and shoved in order to escape for their lives, and several older people with poor legs and feet were squeezed off the cliffs on the side of the road.

The path up and down the Sword Lake can only accommodate one person, so many people are crowded together, and it is still at the moment of life and death, the chaos of the scene can be imagined. Fortunately, the black mist swallowed a few people and then stopped at the edge of the boulder, just surging constantly, and from time to time there were bursts of beast roars. The fog stayed and gave the villagers a chance to escape.

After a period of chaos, the villagers left behind more than a dozen corpses and fled back to their homes.

After the villagers fled home, they all hid at home and did not dare to go out, the first to calm down was the patriarch, he arranged for people to go out of the village to report to the official, and at the same time asked people to invite the nearby Taoist priests, Daxian to come over, and also found a few young people who are usually bold in the village, under the promise of heavy money, let them sneak back to the sword lake to observe the situation, the patriarch repeatedly explained before the young people set off, if there is anything wrong, run back quickly and tell them.

A few young people came to the edge of the Sword Lake, only to see that the entire Sword Lake was shrouded in black fog, and the black fog was constantly rolling and surging, and it looked like they wanted to go out of the Sword Lake, but there was something that they couldn't see to block it, so that it couldn't get out. Every time the Black Mist tried to approach the edge of the Sword Lake boulder, a terrible roar could be heard. The young man at the head saw the doorway and sent a man back to report to the patriarch.

At this moment, all the clansmen had gathered in front of the patriarch's house, whining and shouting, some suggested moving the whole village, and some suggested going out to hide for a while...... But these methods were not feasible in those days, and the whole team of nearly 1,000 people relied on farming and raising livestock to live, and it would be a problem to move out to eat and drink. While the crowd was arguing, the messenger arrived, and when they learned that the fog seemed to be trapped, their hearts were relieved.
