Chapter Seventy-Two: Death

The old man who repaired shoes suddenly narrowed his eyes at this time: "After I walked out, I heard a gunshot." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Gunshots? Uncle, you are joking, you said that at that time, the snow closed the mountain, and Shouguang Village is located in the deep mountains, how could there be hunters who came out to hunt at that time. Lin Tao laughed, not caring at all about the seriousness on the face of the old man who repaired shoes.

"But but, you're right, it was absolutely impossible for any hunters to come out to hunt at that time, under the heavy snow, the mountain road was very slippery, and if you were not careful, you would fall into the ravine, no matter which hunter would not come out at that time, but what I heard was a series of gunshots, at least more than twenty times."

After the old man repaired shoes, Lin Tao also began to think, feeling that this old man repairing shoes seemed to be asking himself.

"Don't think about it, it's definitely gunshots, and I quickly confirmed it." The old man who repaired shoes said, revealing his cautious black teeth, as if he was laughing at Lin Tao, but Lin Tao laughed at this old man in his heart, he must know, he just didn't want to say it, pretending to be a fool in front of you, so that you could have a sense of accomplishment, and tell me how to go directly, and I will leave immediately.

"After hearing the gunshots, I was so frightened that I fell to the ground, after all, we were in a lot of chaos here at that time, there were many remnant spies and bandits, and I was so nervous at that time, you must know that those people are killing people without blinking, especially in order to keep their tracks, according to others, they will not reveal their whereabouts to others, and those who know have kept their mouths shut forever."

"Guess who those people are." Thank you, the old man glanced at Lin Tao with a little meaning.

"I'm definitely the PLA." Lin Tao said with his mouth crossed, but when he saw the surprised expression of the old man who repaired shoes, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Yes, yes, amazing, heroes are teenagers, it's really the People's Liberation Army." The old man nodded in praise.

Lin Tao will steal the fun, this can be understood without thinking about it, it seems that this old man who repairs shoes is old and confused.

"I crept out of the snow, but I saw a black crowd of people on the top of the hill, which frightened me, and hurried towards the back of the village, but they walked faster than I did, and soon they reached the village, and I hid in a haystack behind the village, and peeled off the snow that covered it and looked outside, but they did not come, and the village began to make noise, probably from house to house, and I don't know what they would think when they saw the corpses, until eveningI saw two little soldiers with guns and flashlights walking near me, and then I realized that the rescuers had come, but there were no living people in this village. ”

"That night, there were a lot of people on their patrol, I was in a hurry, I wanted to escape, otherwise I would definitely be found after staying for a long time, and the snow at night also stopped, I was afraid that if I continued to stay, I would definitely be found the next day, once they questioned me, I didn't know how to explain, and finally I had to sneak out while most of them were also crawling out, running along the edge of the village to the outside, but then I suddenly found myself in front of the woods with two white shadows dangling, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to leave, thinking that a ghost had come out to haunt me, but after a while, I heard the voice of someone in front of me. ”

The old man said, stopped, and thought about it vigorously, feeling that he didn't want to get up and didn't tell himself, so he didn't plan to let himself go today, and he didn't tell himself the location of Lianguang and how to get there.

"By the way, I remembered, at that time I was sure that it was a person and then quietly approached, only to find out that they were actually two doctors in white coats, I was strange, people are dead, what do doctors do, can they be brought back to life, but I don't understand what they said."

"The person who turned his back to me at that time should have been reporting to his superiors in front of him, saying, 'Team leader, should we report to our superiors, this incident is by no means as simple as we imagined, once the parasites in those people's bodies break out, the consequences are not what we can imagine, and now we seem to have been infected, but no one else knows yet, you hurry up and make a decision, dozens of names are in your hands.' ”

"No, the order of the superior is to report the matter here thoroughly, and there is another order that we cannot refuse, even if it is at the expense of life, it must be thoroughly investigated, although everyone is now infected, but there is no onset of illness, after holding on for a while, under observation, I will make a decision." When the man had finished speaking, he sighed and turned around and walked towards the village.

The person in the back also stomped a few feet hard and left quickly, but I pondered for a long time to understand what they meant, it must be that they have some disease, so that person is so worried, and found his superior to report, but the superior also knows, but has not yet found a solution, and they are likely to die as inexplicably as those in the village, and there are still many holes in the body, but I quickly thought that I was very likely to be infected, and I was so scared that my soul was not possessed, hurriedly ran outside, just thinking about returning home and being safer. ”

"I didn't sleep endlessly, I ran for two days to come back here, to report to the owner, but I came back and fell ill directly, high fever did not go away, all day long, I realized that I was very likely to be infected, about to die, but on the night when I was disheartened, I suddenly woke up by a gust of cold wind, looking at the window that was blown open, but I didn't have the strength to close, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this night, think about dying and die, who made my life miserable, But in a daze, I found that the window was actually closed, and the ghosts of my friend and his daughter-in-law appeared in front of my bed, bowed to me and thanked me, and then disappeared, and I sat up at once, covered in cold sweat, but found that my fever had subsided. ”

"It's really a trick." The old man who repaired shoes looked at the sun and smiled, probably because he helped his friend bury the body and was blessed.

But I thought about it again, what happened to the People's Liberation Army in Shouguang Village, although I listened to the story for a long time and was a little impatient, but at this time I suddenly became interested, so I asked quickly.

But the old man who repaired the shoes only said two simple words: "Dead." ”

"How can they all be dead, there are so many people, and none of them have come out alive to report the news." Lin Tao was a little surprised, and he guessed that the cause of death of the people in Shouguang Village and those of the People's Liberation Army who passed later was not infected by anything, but was eaten up by Gu worms, but why was this old man who repaired shoes okay, could it be because of his friend's ghost.

Looking at Lin Tao's puzzled expression, the old man was also very emotional and continued: "I started working after I got sick at that time, and one day I went to the street to buy things, and I heard someone talking that the People's Liberation Army who entered the mountain some time ago all died in Shouguang Village, how miserable it was, that is when I realized that they must have died after being infected, but soon the next day I heard that there were many more People's Liberation Army entering the mountain, and this time there were hundreds of people." ”

"After that, those People's Liberation Army had no news, until half a year later, the original Shouguang changed its name to Lianguang, and moved a lot of people to live, it is said that a lot of money was given before anyone was willing, and then I guessed that the second batch of the People's Liberation Army went into the matter and quietly left, but why I didn't die was also out of my own expectations, until one night I dreamed of the bleeding old locust tree, and then I remembered that I must have drunk the blood of the locust tree to survive, I wanted to thank the old locust tree for saving my life, but the fear of being there kept me from stepping into this town again. ”

Finally finished speaking, Lin Tao took a breath, his buttocks were numb, and he was about to stand up, but he found that the old man's hand on his shoulder didn't know when: "We people here call that incident fifty years ago a death incident, but we don't allow it to be talked about everywhere, don't say that it is me and you." ”

Lin Tao nodded, stood up, shook his shoulders, shook his waist, and moved a little, only then did he feel a little more comfortable.

"By the way, you haven't told me how to get to Lianguang Village." Lin Tao stood and said, but he couldn't see the face of the old man with his head down and his shoes.

"Are you sure where else to go?" The indifferent voice of the old man repairing shoes came out of his mouth, but the moment he raised his head, he felt a lot stranger.
