Chapter 30: The Empty Village
Perhaps because of the murder, Yu Yi hid in the dead woods until it was dark, and the movements of the surrounding pursuit and encirclement subsided. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 By the time he left the dead woods again, it was already daylight.
"What should be done now? Where would you be, O Bosling? Walking out of the woods, he looked at the sky that had been re-covered with white clouds and sighed. Last night, the little girl had mentioned a man named Willers, saying that he might know about Bossling's whereabouts. But where to find him?
And also...... Could it be that the white-robed man who led the way was Willes? 'No, no, no, probably not. He quickly dismissed his suspicions. The white-robed man had been leading the way for him, not only had no malice, but seemed to have been trying to tell him something, which did not match the "culprit" in the little girl's mouth. Moreover, according to the little girl, Willers should have been actively looking for her, and the white-robed man disappeared the moment the girl appeared last night.
After wandering around with no purpose in his heart, he found that he had come to the house where the deformed villagers lived. 'Well, now that it's dawn, let me take a good look at what kind of monsters you are. He thought to himself, crouching among a few low trees in the distance, observing the movement in the village ahead.
However, after squatting for more than half an hour, he felt something abnormal. On the big night of last night, a group of villagers looked for him in the woods all night, without any care. However, now there is no movement in the broad daylight, and after such a long time, there is not even a single figure to be seen.
"Could it be that it was too late last night, and we all make up for sleep today?" Talking ridiculous nonsense, Yu Yi had slowly walked out of the bushes. After thinking about it for a while, he still walked to those dilapidated houses with the consciousness of not being able to enter the tiger's den.
Cautiously came to the first wooden house, and leaned in, but there was no sign of it. Then came the second room, and then the third room...... Soon, he could be sure that there was no one in this village. But those deformed villagers last night clearly lived here.
"Where are they going?" He asked himself, confused. Everyone had disappeared, but that was a good thing, at least he could search the village now. Hopefully, he can find some valuable information that will at least let him know a little about this quirky Late Moon Village.
But after a search, there was nothing but one empty house after another. It must be said that there is, and that is the terrible "ornaments" in the house, all kinds of ornaments supported by objects on the human body.
What about the other part of the village? Will they disappear now, too? Yu Yi couldn't help but think. He couldn't help but take a step, following the path he remembered last night, and found the reed swing.
Sure enough, the half of the village in the reeds was also empty. It is still unknown where these villagers have gone, but there is a lot of written information that can be found in this half of the village. By the daylight in the sky at this time, he could clearly see what was going on inside the house.
This half of the village seems to be relatively civilized compared to the other half, at least judging by the writing they put on the walls. On the walls of almost every house, the words "He is guilty!" are carved with sharp knives. "I'm guilty!"
Then he searched for a worn-out letterhead in a hidden mezzanine of a drawer. "It's good to be able to write." He laughed, at least he had found some clues here than the aperverted people's dwellings.
But judging from the contents of the letter, it seems that the unsent letter is just an inconsequential love letter. Most of the content expresses the writer's love and praise for his long-cherished "Lena". "Your face makes Yue Liang hide in the clouds with shame" such an undisguised sycophant contracted the main body of the letter.
However, when Yu Yi pressed the letter on the table with a disgusted face, the content on the back of the letter made his eyelids jump. He saw three words: Willers.
This made him pick up the letter again and re-read the second half of the book. It was probably after the letter was written that Neville said after expressing his love:
If you accept my love. I've figured I'll take you far away from this goddamn place, that damn bastard of Willers can't do whatever he wants! I will never let him stain your holiness! Never......
The letter was written at this point, and the rest of the letter has not been written to this day, which may be the reason why it was not sent in the end. But no matter what, a tragic story looming behind this letter is linked to the person Yu Yi cares about now, Willes. And this guy, the character he plays in this story, doesn't seem to be a good person either.
The words "do whatever he wants" and "stain" made him unconsciously think of the little girl's words. This is not the place where women should be, which makes Willes's image even more evil. However, the little girl said that Willers might know about Bosling's whereabouts. So......
Yu Yi couldn't help but think of a very bad idea, if that was the case, he would definitely break that damn bastard into pieces.
"Am I guilty? He was guilty...... Who is he referring to? Could it be this Willes? "Either way, it's just speculation. Since the clues he wanted could be found in this half of the village, he would eventually find out the truth.
But in reality, it didn't go as smoothly as he imagined. After searching most of the other houses, there were no more literary and artistic young people who loved to write letters. The only thing that gave him hope was the only locked church-like house in the village, and perhaps there was some valuable information hidden inside. However, the huge locks at the door kept him out.
"Uncle, how do you get in?" After going around this so-called church, Yu Yi went back and forth a few times, but he couldn't find any passages such as windows that allowed him to climb over the wall.
After a few attempts to no avail, he sat against the wall and complained, "I've been working for a long time, I'm hungry, and I don't have a ......," and he suddenly realized what he had been missing - he hadn't found any food in these villagers' houses at all!
"Click...... It can't be another group of ghosts, right? He couldn't help but have this conjecture that made his scalp tingle. At this moment, his ears caught the slight movement coming from the side.
He stood up cautiously, moving his body to the side a little, and then slowly poked his head out to look in the direction from which the movement had come from. However, what I saw was just an ordinary earth dog, not even a wild dog that would actively attack humans.
"Whew." As soon as he let down his guard, he noticed that the dog seemed to have something in its mouth. "Brother Dog, that's ...... in your mouth" He was thinking about how to negotiate with the earth dog in front of him, but the earth dog had already thrown the items in his mouth to the ground, and then turned around and ran away.
"Reasonable dog brother," teased, Yu Yi stepped forward to pick up the object that had been dropped, "This is ...... Key? Could it be the key to the church? He soon realized that this must be someone helping him, who was it? Is it the white-robed man again? He looked around quickly, but couldn't find anything.
But that's not the point either, the point now is that he got the keys to the church. So, naturally, he had to find out.
"Click"
"Lulu......"
With the sound of the iron lock being dragged, the blockade in front of the church door was finally lifted. Throwing away the chain at will, Yu Yi pushed open the double wooden door of the church with both hands.
The long dragging sound of "quack, quack, quack......" brought up a puff of flying dust. Under the sunlight, they are clearly visible, and through the flying dust, Yu Yi can see the situation inside the house at a glance, and sure enough, this is a church!
When he entered the church, his eyes were fixed on the thick book on the central lectern, hoping that it was not a codex of teachings. Walking three or two steps to the lectern, he couldn't wait to open the thick book. Surprisingly, this is actually a book such as a believer's diary. Just by reading the first few photos, I realized that it was a record of what a devout believer had seen and felt.
As for how Yu Yi knew about the devotion of this believer? The blood stains on the paper should have been enough to explain all this, for this believer he used his own blood in writing this journal. In this way, every page of the journal was still full of writing, presumably a very healthy believer.
Of course, a large part of such a log can be skimmed, and Yu Yi only finds what he is interested in.
“…… It has always been the case that in the southern village of the late moon, there will be a most outstanding, excellent, and recognized young man as the messenger of the moonlight to illuminate the village. In the place of the most beautiful moon god, he will spread her glory to the entire Late Moon Village, at least the South Village. On the wedding night of the beautiful maidens in the village, the messenger of the moon will take the place of their flawed husbands and give her the most memorable first night to pray for their next generation......"
"Your uncle! I should have come here as an emissary a long time ago, I could at least work here until I was sixty years old, right? It doesn't matter if you retire later! Seeing this, Yu Yi couldn't help but complain, but due to the dim light in the room, he couldn't see the content of the blackened bloodstains clearly. He couldn't help but hold the book and walked to the side under the sun.
Something unexpected happened, and before he could continue to look down, the book in his hand suddenly burst into flames. Moments later, the fire was out of control.
"Wow! Go, go, go! Throwing down the book, he tried to stomp his foot to extinguish the flames on it, but the result was a burst of ashes. What the? Who is it? Who's kidding me, right? Why did it burn up inexplicably? He puffed out.
But in fact, he had already obtained valuable clues from the journal just now, at least now he could understand what he meant by "do whatever he wanted". That Willers is a goddamn whore! He now hoped that he would not learn about the whereabouts of Bai Siling from this Willers' mouth.
After that, Yu Yi investigated the small room on the side of the church, which was very comfortably furnished, with a large soft bed large enough to sleep four or five people. With the protection of those curtains on the outside, I believe that the bed is still relatively clean and tidy. The purpose of this room, in connection with the work of the messenger, is self-evident. Yes, it's an office.
After thoroughly investigating the village, Yu Yi left here. I walked around again, trying to find the room where the little girl had lived before, but after some effort, I didn't find it at all. On the contrary, he had figured out his situation, and the Late Moon Village where he was now was as if he was trapped at the bottom of the valley, although it was not so deep that it would not see the light of day. But it doesn't seem to be easy to get out of this valley.
Just as he was still distressed by his current situation, an old man with gray hair appeared in his sight. From afar, he could see the old man hoe after hoe digging in the muddy ground that had been soaked by the rain last night.
It was the first person he had seen today. Yu Yi quickened his pace and walked towards the other party. After getting closer, he saw the other party's appearance clearly, although the old man looked a little vicissitudes, but he looked like an ordinary normal person. Not at all like the freaks I saw last night.
After skipping an idea in his heart, Yu Yi stepped forward to learn from Xiang Yang's appearance, revealing a harmless smile to make himself appear as kind as possible. "Uncle, are you busy?" He greeted.
"Who are you?" The white-haired old man raised his head and asked, "Aren't you from Late Moon Village?" There are really not many people alive in this village. ”
"My name is Cruise, what do you call you, uncle?" Yu Yi asked with a smile.
The old man stopped what he was doing, looked up at the other and replied, "Todd, Todd Regen." What's wrong? Can I help you? Although his face was full of deep ravines left by the years, it was not difficult to see from his facial features, face shape, and those godly eyes that the old man was also a handsome man when he was young.
'Isn't he really Willers?' Yu Yi asked in his heart. "Uncle, you are from this village, right?"
"I'm the gravekeeper here."
"Is there a tomb here?" Yu Yi asked, he had walked around this area for a long time, but he had never seen anything like a tombstone at all.
The old man squinted at him: "Don't you need to be buried when you die?" Are you ready to directly cheap those wild dogs? "The cemetery is in the far north, so if you haven't seen what the tomb looks like, you can go and see it." ”
"Uncle, what are you digging now?" Yu Yi asked again.
"Dig my own grave." Todd replied without thinking.
Yu Yi was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the cemetery in the northernmost part?" "But this old man has a long-term vision, and with his spirit, at least he will have no problem living another year.
"I'm not going to be buried with those filthy guys." Todd, who was digging the dirt, replied.
didn't care about this, Yu Yi finally asked what he cared about the most: "Uncle, have you ever seen a blonde girl nearby?" Tall, thin and tall, carrying a lilac bow on his back. ”
The white-haired old man stopped what he was doing, put his hands on the handle of the hoe, and replied to him earnestly:
"Nope."
