Chapter 10 Uninhabited Village
Galo took a deep breath: These two ancestors are here to anger him, right?
"Ahem, Lord Earl, aren't we going to keep up with them?" Elke, who was on the side, leaned over unfamiliarly.
Galo kicked the horse's belly hard, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go away!" After saying that, he drove his horse and rushed up, leaving Elk alone to digest his angry words: "Do you want me to go away?" Or keep up? ”
……
It's been a day of overcast.
A little coldness suddenly hit Han Qingluo's face, and she looked up at the sky: once or twice, dusty raindrops hit her eyelashes and cheeks one after another...... It's starting to drizzle.
The group drove their horses slowly on the muddy village road, and the whole village was so quiet that only the "chirping" of horses' hooves trampling the mud. The houses in the whole village are all gray and mud bricks, which is very suitable for today's gloomy and gloomy weather.
Han Qingluo always had the feeling of walking into a ghost village, and couldn't help but whisper to Jue on the side: "Do you think this village is a little strange?" ”
Jue's gaze roamed between the houses on both sides: "Be careful. ”
Garlo remembers that some time ago, there were still people in this village, why is it so quiet today?
Everyone walked quietly on the road to the village with doubts.
"Everybody's in place." Seeing that they were approaching the end of the village, Galo called for a halt and ordered Elk to lead a few blood guards to search.
The drizzle hit her body, and soon soaked the clothes on her body, Han Qingluo turned over and dismounted, and walked to the nearby eaves to take shelter, and the coolness of the autumn rain spread to her body along the wet clothes.
"Ahh Han Qingluo couldn't help but sneeze, rubbed his nose, and said casually: "It's so cold"
Jue, who was beside him, turned around and pushed open the door of the house, Han Qingluo was about to say that he had trespassed into the house, but he heard him say "no one".
Well?
Han Qingluo took the opportunity to look inside, there was really no one figure, and the door was not locked.
"Lord Earl, there seems to be no one in this village!" At this point, Elke, who had finished the search, shouted in their direction.
Where have all the people gone?
The collective disappearance of the whole village inevitably made Han Qingluo think of the story of "Closed Gate Village", and she shuddered even more, not knowing whether it was because her clothes were wet or the weather was too cold, she felt that her body was even colder.
"Come in and get warm!"
Jue's words brought Han Qingluo's thoughts back, and she looked at it, in the dim room, a fire was already burning in the fireplace. Leaned over to the fireplace and said "thank you".
But after a while, Galo and the others also followed: "You stay honest, and we will go out and look carefully." ”
After a while, the two "intruders" by the fireplace didn't seem to want to deal with him, and Garlo had never been so hurt in his pride, but he still faced this fact, calmly said "Let's go" to Elk next to him, and left the hut.
When he came, he left four blood guards at the door.
Han Qingluo glanced at the blood guard at the door, and said with a smile: "To deal with arrogant guys, we have to be even more arrogant. ”
Jue threw the last firewood in his hand into the fireplace and clapped his hands: "You bake your body first, and I'll walk around this room." ”
"Hmm." Han Qingluo walked to the door of the room, closed the door, and took off the wet clothes on his body.
The whole room is quite large, but because of the weather, the light in the house is very poor. The furniture is neatly arranged and there is no missing appearance.
The fingertips swiped over the counter, and no dust was found, indicating that someone had lived in it recently. There is no trace of a fight either, so where did the whole village go?
Suddenly, Jue's eyes focused on a cabinet next to the bedside, which was sprinkled with coarse bread crumbs, and walked over with slow steps......
"Look, it looks like someone from the village is back!"
As soon as he walked to the cabinet, Jue was attracted by the sound outside, glanced at the cabinet thoughtfully, and walked out. And after the cabinet left completely, the door of the cabinet opened slowly......
Following the shouting, Jue and Han Qingluo in the house ran out, and sure enough, there seemed to be several figures near the entrance of the village. Look at those few figures, staggering and slow, a bit like old people.
It's just that there is something indescribably strange about the way they walk.
"I'll go and call the Counts back, and you stay." One of the Blood Guards led the way, and the other three nodded.
"Then I'll go to the front and ask about the situation, don't move around!" Another blood guard instructed, and trotted towards the figures at the entrance of the village.
"Do you think these old people are a little weird?" Han Qingluo crossed his hands and crossed his arms and expressed the doubts in his heart, "Even if you are old, you can't walk like this, right?" ”
"They don't seem to be people." Jue said coldly without emotion, as if this thing was normal.
"What do you mean?" Han Qingluo glanced at Jue and turned his gaze to the entrance of the village again, the blood guard was already approaching those villagers.
Jue didn't answer, just stared straight at the entrance of the village not far away.
From a distance, everything at the entrance of the village seems to be very ordinary, the first few seconds are harmonious, but in the next second, an old man is like crazy, and directly pounces on the blood guard, opening his mouth and biting the blood guard's arm.
"Oh,!" The blood guard was bitten hard by the old man, and the blood guard threw him away directly, and just wanted to scold a few words, the remaining old people also pounced directly on the blood guard.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the blood guard drew his knife and directly cut off a person's head. Dirty, blackened pus and blood sprayed on his face, blurring his vision.
Seeing this, the other two blood guards also drew the knives on their waists and rushed directly to the entrance of the village, ready to help their companions, but the blood guards who asked the question had already been thrown to the ground by a group of crazy old men.
"Ahh Yes! ”
The blood guard who was frantically bitten let out a miserable scream, and the group of old people in front of him did not have the weakness of human aging at all, but were like a few wild beasts, and their strength was as great as that of adult men.
Moreover, he found that he could not stab them with a knife, and that the blood that came out was also foul-smelling pus, like a dead man. What frightened him the most was that the corpse that had been cut off by him could still move!
"Click!"
"Click!"
Two sharp blades sliced through pieces of flesh sounded, and thick black blood with a pungent smell of rotting flesh poured all over his body again. I only felt a lightness on my body, and my arms were tightly pulled and dragged backwards.
It's a companion who has come to his rescue!
"Aren't we going to help?" Faced with this sudden attack, Han Qingluo still couldn't help but be shocked, "Since you know that they are not human, why don't you stop them?" ”
"Of course, the fewer enemies, the better!" Jue looked like he didn't care about himself, "Moreover, you don't know what harm those monsters will cause, so if you rush to help, you may even have to get us in." ”
Han Qingluo nodded: Sure enough, he is the one who puts interests first, and public and private are very clear!
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, indicating that Galo and his party had returned from the end of the village.
Gallol stopped his horse and stopped beside Jue and Han Qingluo, looked at the tragedy that happened at the entrance of the village, and asked eagerly, "What's going on at the entrance of the village?" ”
"Isn't this an overt attack by a villager?" Han Qingluo's face was light.
Galo didn't bother to care about her rudeness, and immediately sent a few blood guards to help, and the three blood guards at the entrance of the village also cut all the crazy villagers into shreds.
A blood guard raised his knife and stabbed it dozens of times at a severed head that was still roaring with open teeth, until it was cut in half, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the shape could not be seen clearly.
Some severed hands and feet were soaked in blackened pools of pus and blood and were still twitching and wriggling, as if each torso had its own consciousness, and even if it left the body, it could move on its own.
After killing all the villagers, the three blood guards were already covered in blood, and the stench could be smelled from afar. Rao is Han Qingluo followed Jue to kill countless robbers, and he had never seen this battle. In addition, under the stench and the visual impact of this blood, I couldn't help but run to the corner and retch.
"What's going on?" The blood guards who rushed to help asked. Because of the filth and stench of the three blood guards, the blood guards who came to help stayed away, and the two sides talked far away.
The first blood guard to be attacked told the whole story in detail, but he hid the fact that he had been bitten.
"Okay, after washing your body, hurry back to the team and report to Lord Earl for more details!"
"Yes!"
But as soon as he walked a few steps, the bitten blood guard felt hot all over, thinking that his companions who were holding him would notice his abnormality, but when they secretly observed, they didn't seem to be able to detect the heat coming from his body.
Is this heat only in the body?
Without much thought, they went back to the village.
……
"It seems that your psychological quality needs to be improved!"
Han Qingluo turned her head resentfully to look at Jue who was gloating behind her, and just as she wanted to speak, another "vomit" forced her head to twist back.
……
The captain of the blood guard, who came to report the situation, told Galo about what happened at the entrance of the village, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face, as if it was the first time he had encountered such a thing: a corpse that would not die?
"Lord Earl, do you need to report this matter to the prince in advance?" Elke, who was on the side, asked, "This anomaly is not very good."
"No, it must be some kind of witch or alchemist, don't make a fuss in individual cases, my father is very busy."
Elk nodded yes.
Strange things happened in the village one after another, and Gallo decided to stay in the village for a few days and secretly check it out.
As the son of the Prince of Cloia, he should have made some merits to show his father, and it was his duty to serve the secret party and the whole of Croia.
