While Lu Rui was preparing breakfast, He Yu left the orphanage and went to the village.

I thought that there would be no one early in the morning, but He Yu saw several villagers moving stools and sitting in the open space, facing the east, where a round of morning sun was rising.

Seeing He Yu, the eyes of the group of people without waves were like the lake water smashed into by stones, rippling slightly and disappearing quickly, compared to this outsider, the distant sun was obviously more popular with them.

He met the man who guided her to the former dean, who was alone under a yellow-fed tree, sitting on a small black wooden stool, looking at the sun that was not yet dazzling.

When He Yu came to him, his eyelids lifted, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he drooped down, not welcome, so he ignored it.

Closer, He Yu observed that the blood vessels under his pale skin were blue and black, and lifeless.

He Yu turned his gaze away to look at the other villagers, and a terrible thought grew wildly in his mind-

None of them are alive.

Often facing the loess with their backs to the sky, how can the complexion of these villagers be so white, coupled with their abnormal behavior without the slightest vitality, they are still dressed so thinly in late autumn and early winter, and they don't look like normal people.

He Yu stretched out his hand and touched the back of the man's hand, which was cold and cold, like a palm that had been exposed in winter, but He Yu didn't think that the cold touch was because of the cold weather.

When the man met her, he looked up, and he asked, "What are you doing?"

"You are not a living person. He Yu affirmed, "What the hell are you?"

"You've seen it. The man said.

"There should be only me and Lu Rui here. ”

"Lu Rui!" the man raised his voice slightly, as if He Yu had mentioned something that could touch him.

The man stood up and looked at He Yu at eye level, he was about the same height as He Yu, and he could directly see He Yu's cold eyes, although the feelings in them were very light, but they were very smart.

It is an eyeball that only living people have.

"You told her!?" the man asked.

He Yu didn't understand why the man cared about this, but she could see that the man cared about this matter, so she said, "I won't tell her for the time being." ”

The man breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at He Yu and laughed, "You are very bold, you know that we are not alive anymore, and you dare to stay here." ”

"I've spent the night in an orphanage. He Yu smiled, indicating that she was not afraid.

At the mention of the orphanage, the man reverted to his silence and returned to that state of indifference.

He Yu thought for a while and said, "Lu Rui wants to go home, but she can't get out. She wanted me to stay for her for a few days, so she could take a leave of absence and go back. ”

The man showed an unhappy expression, "That woman won't let her go." ”

"Qian Sifang said that if I stayed, I could let Lu Rui ask for leave and go home. "He Yu's face did not change and made something out of nothing," Moreover, if Lu Rui finds out that you are not actually alive, she must be eager to leave here immediately. ”

The man obviously didn't want Lu Rui to know the truth, and he didn't want Lu Rui to leave here.

"You promise you won't tell her. ”

"I promise. ”

"What do you want to know?" the man pulled over the stool and sat down again.

He Yu also took out a small stool from the space and sat down opposite him. This hand surprised the man, he opened his mouth for a while before saying, "Are you a fairy girl?"

When he said this, his tone didn't fluctuate much, just a slight surprise, and then he seemed to understand why He Yu dared to stay here alone.

He asked, "Can you cure us?"

Govern?

He Yu raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "What is your situation?"

The man continued to repeat the previous question, and after getting a negative answer from He Yu, he let out an "oh".

He Yu was not disappointed when he heard his tone, and even had a faint joy.

The man said that he didn't know what happened to them, but he didn't think that they were not living people. The man felt that they were just sick, an inexplicable contagion.

The contagion turned them into a corpse, nothing special other than that.

The man lifted his sleeve and grabbed it on his arm, and a piece of meat was grabbed off, revealing the carrion inside, and he stuffed the meat back again, smoothing out the surface skin. Like plasticine, rub it vigorously a few times, and it will be smooth.

"Do you think we are dead or alive?" the man asked, their bodies turned into corpses, but they could still think and act as usual, but their bodies did not need to eat, nor could they feel temperature or pain. Over time, the spirit was also transformed into a corpse and became numb and cold.

"As long as you're in the village, you're contagious. When the man said this, he stared at He Yu and smiled.

He Yu reflexively touched his arm, which was soft, elastic, and the temperature that came out through his clothes.

"It's only a matter of time before you get infected. The man said, "As long as you stay long enough." ”

The man continued to laugh, but his face was not warm at all, "If you get sick, you can't leave the village, you have to stay here forever." ”

"Why is this happening?" asked Ho.

"Retribution!" someone said.

It was a woman who interjected, about forty years old, chubby, and she had stood aside and listened since the man talked about the "contagious disease".

The woman smiled flatteringly at He Yu, her expression was much more vivid than that of a man, more like a living person.

If the complexion wasn't so pale.

The man didn't like this person who interjected, and said with a dark face: "You still want to go, but there is no door." ”

"I'm not here to talk to you, you want to be dead, I don't want to. After the woman finished scolding the man, she stretched out her hand to pull He Yu, "Let's stay away from him, he will hurt people, Xiao Rui, that kid, he deceived him!"

The man sneered, pointed at He Yu and asked, "I hurt people, so what are you looking for her?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you. "The woman wanted to pull He Yu away, but found that she couldn't.

He Yu looked at her with a gloomy gaze, and the woman immediately let go of her hand, "Ouch, the little girls now are not afraid of death." ”

He Yu laughed at this time, his eyes crooked, "Sister, there are many people who will not be afraid, let's talk together." Tell me, why did the eldest brother trick Lu Rui into coming over. ”

The woman glanced at He Yu, who was smiling, and then at the man with a black face, her eyes rolled twice mechanically, and said, "It's not that he doesn't have a wife and children, and he wants to find someone to come and see him." Speaking of which, I'm miserable!"

The woman cried loudly, but not a single tear fell, and the flesh on her face moved stiffly.

She cried about her loneliness, that her daughter, who had been stabbed a thousand times, had not come back to see her for five or six years, and that she wanted to see her daughter, who was working outside the home.

"If you really miss Nizi, why don't you go out to see her by yourself!" the man sneered, "It's not that I'm afraid of death." If you want to laugh at the belly of the pig, they are all dead and afraid of death. ”
