Chapter 51: A Deserted Village
The closer I got to the village, the more oppressive I felt, and the sun was so bright that I felt a chill creep into my texture, gradually penetrating my limbs.
Compared with my worries, Hua Xixue seemed very relaxed, he looked at the sky from time to time, hummed, and even his steps became much lighter.
Can you imagine a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a thick waist, and half of his face with a beard, stepping on a jumping lotus step, humming a light fisherman's tune and circling around you?
…… I really suspect that he is Wei Zhen's younger brother now, and he may be more seriously ill than Wei Zhen.
After listening to him hum for almost half an hour, I finally couldn't help it: "Can you stop humming?" ”
He looked at me, "Doesn't it sound good?" ”
I pointed to the village, "Don't you notice something weird?" ”
He nodded naturally: "I found it." ”
"Huh?"
He smiled, "No one." ”
He was shocked, and I suddenly realized.
Yes, that's what I find weird, watching it all the way, not a single figure is seen, not even a bird has passed over it, the silence is terrible.
I swallowed dry saliva: "It's so spooky, I don't even want to go in." ”
"Not entering?" He tilted his head to look at me, "You're going to go a long way?" ”
I shook my head, thought for a moment, and said, "You've saved me many times, and if there's any danger at that time, you don't mind running away with me again, right?" ”
He looked at me with a smile on his face, and I continued: "Don't worry, I won't drag you down, although I don't have the equipment to cast a formation, I can chant a spell to resist for a while, and there is no problem in fighting for the gap to escape." ”
He listened to my words, turned his head, stretched out his hand to support his forehead, smiled inexplicably for a long time, and finally looked at me: "Okay." ”
His smile was quite helpless and sarcastic, and I was a little annoyed: "What are you laughing at?" I'm serious. ”
He glanced at me with a smile, didn't speak, and continued to hum a tune and walked forward.
After walking for another half an hour, the entrance of the village was already visible, and it was really silent and empty.
I have been to three lifeless villages, and two of them have been slaughtered and the whole village has been wiped out, and the corpses of the villagers are strewn across the streets, and the doors and windows are splattered with blood. Before leaving, all the pots and pans were light, and even the iron ring on the door was not spared, and the whole village was desolate and depressed, leaving only mud house tiles.
But there was nothing in the village in front of me, it was as if it had fallen asleep quietly, and it was uninhabited.
I stopped at the entrance to the village, my chest tightening more and more uncomfortably.
Hua Xixue asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I'll take a break." I walked to the side and sat down on the stone pier, leaning against the coffin beside me, reaching out to support my head.
Then I suddenly jumped up, coffin!
I turned my head and saw hundreds of coffins behind the flourishing trees! The sunlight falls on the dark red lacquer outside the pine wood, reflecting the cold silence of the forest.
The long wind swept in, the trees swayed together, and the shadows of the trees stretched horizontally, like twisted deformed bones, and in broad daylight, there was a gloomy and miserable atmosphere.
In the midst of the lightning and fire, I suddenly remembered the words I overheard from the handyman on the night when I let the snake go to the southeast side of Mu Xiangcai.
"I heard that there is a deserted village not far from here, the whole village died overnight a hundred years ago, and now there are several coffins at the entrance of the village!"
……
The dullness in my chest became more and more severe, and the appearance of those dead soldiers suddenly jumped out of my mind, and I turned around quickly: "Let's go!" It's weird, I don't want to stay here. ”
He suddenly grabbed me: "Want to go?" ”
I pulled him back: "Come with me!" It's so weird here! If you don't get it right, you'll die! ”
"You don't think ......"
At this moment, I saw a familiar pink shadow turning from a small road in the village, looking like a flower moon, and looking like a willow posture, my eyes widened, I was actually listening to the missing Xia Yue Tower in the rain dojo!
Her willow-like eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her expression was stern, she was holding a yellowed piece of parchment in her hand, looking around as she walked, how could she be a little stupid?
I hurriedly reached out to cover Hua Xixue's mouth, and somehow I got the strength to pull him down and squat behind the coffin with me.
Xia Yuelou stopped, stood in front of a mud house, raised her head slightly, didn't know what she was thinking, and then she shook her head, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked a sneer, and walked towards another place, disappearing from our sight.
I turned my head to look at Hua Xixue and said hurriedly: "It's very dangerous inside, don't go in, let's leave it at that!" After saying that, I got up to leave, but he grabbed me, smiled, and said with interest: "Aren't you afraid?" ”
I slapped his hand away: "You're so annoying! ”
I flashed into the village with a small low wall of mud and a mud wall, and it was full of gray mud houses, but every house and courtyard had a pen house, and the land was flat, and it was arranged neatly and row upon row.
Hua Xixue fell next to me, and before I could say a few words to him, I saw Xia Yuelou turning from another street. After we hurriedly flashed to a mound, Xia Yuelou's eyebrows tightened, biting her lip flap lightly, her complexion was as clear as jade, and her temperament was as cold as ice, as if she had changed her appearance, with a slightly domineering momentum.
She looked down at the parchment in her hand, passed straight in front of us, and occasionally muttered a few words that I didn't understand at all, such as "eye position", "double tiger", "demolition", "shallow elimination", "robbery" and so on.
As soon as her figure disappeared, I immediately jumped up, and Hua Xixue followed closely.
This village occupies a huge area, there are about 2,000 households in the whole village, and there is a village entrance in the east, west, north and south, and the direction we came in is like the entrance of the back village. Some of the open windows lead to the neatly arranged tables, chairs and benches in the house, and the polished teapots and wine cups on the tables. You can't even find a cobweb.
We tiptoed behind Xia Yuelou, she seemed to be looking for something, from the east of the village to the west of the village, from the south of the village to the north of the village. Except for some gray mud houses, there is a large commercial street in the south of the village center, these shops are all white-walled and tiled, and they are all like this in several rows, which is very abrupt.
From noon to dusk, the sun was getting oblique, Xia Yuelou finally stopped, and sat at the entrance of the small vegetable market in the west of the village, with a flat expression and a little lonely eyes.
Hua Xixue pushed me with her shoulder, and her eyes motioned for me to go up and ask, I was about to go out, but I saw Xia Yuelou's delicate body suddenly swaying, and the whole person jumped up, an agile backflip, like a nimble kitten, hiding behind the stone steps next to the vegetable field.
She's so good!
At this moment, six or seven men of five or three thick were striding from North Street with hoes and hoes, dressed plainly, no different from ordinary farmers. I searched them quickly with my mind, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, no demonic spirit, no anger, and no immortal demon. This strange village is still inhabited.
They talked and laughed, passed in front of us, and walked towards the south of the village. I saw Xia Yuelou follow, and I followed closely.
The men all entered a spacious house, and Xia Yuelou slipped into a nearby house. Seeing this, I was going to follow, Hua Xixue patted me on the shoulder, I looked at him suspiciously, he picked me up and jumped on the windowsill on the second floor with me. When I went inside, I found that it was a bedroom, which was very large, and although it was not expensive, it was extremely numerous.
Hua Xixue pulled me to hide behind a large wooden cabinet, almost as soon as we hid, Xia Yuelou came up, and she looked at it very cautiously. Then he began to rummage through the cabinets, not knowing what to find. About half an hour later, it was dark, and the room was dark, and she became more and more anxious to search the place she had found. At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and her thin body was stunned in the dark, and then she rolled on the ground, ran towards us, opened the wooden cabinet in front of us, and hid inside.
