Chapter 12: Bloodthirsty Monsters

The closer you get to the village, the more eerie the atmosphere becomes, and even though it's daylight, there is a dead silence up and down the small village.

"The people of this village don't show up during the day?"

Looking out at the deserted village road, Sevi wondered.

"It's so cold outside, maybe they're all heating at home!"

Glancing at the smoking chimney on the roof of a certain room, Han Qingluo tightened the reins in her hand, she couldn't wait to get off the horse and get warm in front of the warm fireplace.

"Go knock on the door!"

Jue was the first to dismount, handed the reins to Lunsen on the side, and walked towards the house of the smoke, and the rest of the people saw this, and they also stopped their horses, and they were tired after a long ride.

"Knock knock!"

The finger joint knocked on the wooden door, making a crisp hitting sound, Jue only knocked three times, and then quietly waited for the master to open the door.

But after a while, there was no movement at the wooden door in front of him, and there were three more knocks, but there was still no sound.

"There won't be no one!" At this time, Han Qingluo came over, exchanged his fingers, slapped the door a few times, took a few steps back, and looked up at the surrounding houses, "The whole village has the smell of fireworks, it doesn't make sense that there is no one, right?" ”

"Why don't we knock on another door?"

After waiting for a long time and still no response, Jue planned to change the target.

Just as they were about to turn around, the door creaked open, and a woman's voice came out: "Who? ”

Through the half-open crack of the door, they saw a haggard woman, holding the door, with a pair of dull eyes, showing malaise, looking at them at the door.

"Hello, madam, we are passing travelers, and we want to take this place to rest for the night, can we?"

Lifting the heavy fur hat, Han Qingluo revealed his little face that had been polished by the wind and frost, and with a harmless smile on the corner of his mouth, he politely asked the woman.

The woman looked at Han Qingluo's gaze and took off her guard a little, but when she looked at Jue, she immediately became vigilant, and she didn't make a sound for a while.

Seeing this, Han Qingluo immediately grabbed Jue's arm, sweetly leaned his head on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Madam, he is my husband, but he looks more fierce, he is very kind in his heart!" ”

Receiving her signal, Jue immediately understood that his expression was too indifferent, and immediately hooked the corners of his lips, and said in response: "Dear madam, we are a group of travelers who have traveled all over the world, we are a little tired after a long journey, and we hope to spend the night, is it okay?" ”

With that, he turned sideways, opened a gap, and showed the woman the Galo who were waiting not far from the door.

The woman lowered her eyelashes, pondered for a moment, and closed the door without answering.

Looking at the wooden door that was closed again, Jue and Han Qingluo glanced at each other, a little helpless.

"What should I do? Why don't we ask someone else? ”

Inexplicably ate a closed door, Han Qingluo was a little discouraged, she pursed the corners of her lips, very lost, just at this time, the cold wind blew, so cold that she shrunk her neck, and hurriedly put on her hat.

Jue couldn't bear her to follow her to the cold again, and then observed the village, only this house had cooking smoke, and unwillingly stepped forward again, wanting to knock on the door.

At the same time, there was a faint moan and cough in the room, as if the woman's reassuring whisper.

"Sick people?"

Jue looked at Han Qingluo.

This sound, through the door, Han Qingluo also heard it clearly, and said busily: "Let's find another house, don't disturb the patient!" ”

"Hmm!"

The two returned to their companions, explained the reason, and the group led the horses and were about to leave.

The closed door opened again, and this time it was fully opened, and a small woman, standing by the door, cried out to them, "Children, come into the house and keep warm!" ”

——

Sitting on a small chair by the fireplace, Han Qingluo closed his eyes and comfortably felt the warmth rushing to him.

The other blood clans stayed quietly at the table next to them, and after knowing that there were sick people in this room, they didn't even gossip a word, and it was rare to be a "gentleman".

As soon as they entered the house, the lady of the house poured hot water for them, and went to the back room, where it seemed that the sick man was there.

After a while, sure enough, there were painful moans and coughs, as well as the woman's anxious reassuring voices.

Han Qingluo, who had a warm heart, listened to the cough, his brows became deeper and deeper, and he said in his heart, being sick in this era is the same as going through the ghost gate, and most doctors are still very unreliable, but it is really miserable.

The cough came faintly from the back room to the living room one after another, and Han Qingluo's "nosy" heart suddenly popped up under the urging of this voice.

She stood up and wanted to find out, if she could solve it with modern knowledge, why not help the kind woman solve her pain?

But at this moment, Jue, who suddenly realized something, got up and stopped Han Qingluo, he lowered his voice and looked serious: "The whole village has a cooking smoke, will this disease be some kind of plague, let's leave quickly!" ”

This also made Han Qingluo's pupils tremble, plague? In the old days, when it broke out in the village, it was the end of the total annihilation!

The Bloodline doesn't matter, they're not affected by the virus, but she's human!

Thinking of it, Han Qingluo hurriedly took out a square scarf, covered her mouth and nose, and retreated, if she was infected with the plague, she couldn't follow Jue and them, otherwise the virus would spread everywhere, wouldn't she become a walking virus bank?

In a panic, there was a sudden bustling sound outside the house, as if someone had returned.

At the same time, the woman in the back room also seemed to hear the noise, opened the door and walked out, seeing Han Qingluo and Jue at the door, she was a little puzzled, and when she looked at the masked Han Qingluo again, she misunderstood: "I'm sorry, the smell may be heavier at home, don't dislike this young lady!" ”

After speaking, he bypassed the two of them and walked to the door.

Embarrassed, Han Qingluo despised himself slightly, and then followed Jue's gaze and looked towards the inner room.

Through the crack in the door, a boy lay on the bed in the back room, his face flushed in the dim candlelight, as if he had a high fever.

Soon the woman who had opened the crack in the door and looked back again, and saw the two of them looking at their son in the house, and explained: "This is my only son, Hughes, who not long ago began to fall ill at a strange incident, alas......"

Han Qingluo showed pity on his face, took his wife's hand to comfort her, and changed the topic: "What happened to the movement outside the house just now?" ”

The woman let out an "oh" and looked up, "That's the men who sent them to the funeral have returned, and last night, something strange happened in the village, and six men died at once." ”

No wonder I felt the atmosphere was weird before I came!

Han Qingluo nodded, silent, and meditated in his heart.

"Why did you die?" Jue interjected into the topic and glanced at the room, "Also died because of illness?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and the fear in her eyes suddenly revealed: "There is a monster in the village, saying that it is a bloodthirsty vampire, who first killed my husband, and then frightened my poor son to the point that he was sick, and later, he brutally killed six men in the village, it is terrible!" ”

When she said that she was excited, she whimpered and cried, and said intermittently: "You must not go out at night, it is very dangerous." ”

In order to divert the woman's emotions, Han Qingluo took her hand enthusiastically, thinking that since it was not a plague, then she had to help the woman: "Don't worry, the men in this room are all good, they may be able to help the village solve the monsters, now, let me see the situation of your son." ”

The woman wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Han Qingluo in surprise: "You are a doctor?" ”

"Uh......" Han Qingluo looked at Jue, "No, but I know a little bit, and I may not be able to help you cure your son's illness, but it's better than watching him feel uncomfortable!" ”

The woman nodded in agreement and took the initiative to take her to the bedside, and Han Qingluo gave Jue a "please rest assured" look, and followed the woman into the back room.

"Isn't it the plague?"

As soon as Jue sat down, Jin on his side asked loudly, and the crowd of melon-eating people around the table also surrounded him.

Jue's head responded: "No! ”

This group of blood clans breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second they were startled by Jue's words: "However, I heard from the owner of the house that there is a blood clan in this village, and seven villagers have been killed." ”

Murder?

This word, falling on their group of blood clans, seems to have a bit of a derogatory meaning, except that Galo is a nobleman, it seems that he has never foraged for blood food, it is all done by the lower ranks, and the other blood clans present are more or less burdened with some "murders".

It's just that they have been mixed with Han Qingluo, a human being, for a long time, and they have taken care of her to some extent, and they have not "committed crimes" frequently.

"Indiscriminate killing of innocents?" Sevi pretended to fold his arms and looked indignant, "Let us, a group of righteous people, help this poor ...... Humans! ”

Garlo glanced at him, and seemed to find that this guy was a little greasy again, he was a ruthless guy at the beginning, but he didn't expect to be such a "fool" behind his back.

"Sevi, you're getting more and more out of shape, how much 'indiscriminate killing' you have in your hands, don't you know?"

Listening to Galo's merciless taunt, the corners of Sevi's lips hooked, and he didn't care: "It was before, and now it's now, I'm standing in front of you, how much do you think I look like before?" ”

"Uh......"

Everyone was stunned.

"Alright, let's get down to business!"

Seeing that the situation was about to deviate again, Jue hurriedly pulled back, "Since Luo Du has promised the woman to help, we can't stand by and help this village solve the problem!" ”

"It stands to reason that the current blood clan society is also tightly bound enough, which clan guy is deliberately doing things?"

Gallo questioned.

"It's not just our blood clan that is bloodthirsty, but also werewolves, what about demons?"

Sevi inadvertently reminded everyone, the atmosphere suddenly became serious, the soul ring was in their hands, and of course the demons would not let them go.

"Then ......" Jia Luo had a bad premonition in his heart, "If something happens in this village, could it be that the demons deliberately set a trap for us?" ”

"yes, do they know we're going through this village?"

Sevi also responded to the Tao.

"Then let's get out of here!"

Yuke immediately stood up.

"Don't worry!" Jue stopped Yuke, "It's all just speculation. ”

Back room.

Han Qingluo roughly checked Xiusi's condition, and heard the woman say that Xiusi had been suffering from intermittent fever and nightmares from time to time.

There are too many causes of fever, and she is not a professional doctor, so she can only instruct the woman to wipe his skin with warm water when Hugh is hot, and when his hands and feet are cold, pay attention to heat preservation, and most importantly, drink more warm water.

The woman wrote them down one by one, and was very grateful, as long as it was not an open-ended bloodletting, she was willing to try.

"Also, if you believe me, you can pick some dandelions to soak in water and feed, maybe it will be useful!"

Before leaving, Han Qingluo remembered a good thing to clear heat and detoxify, and reminded the woman.

Seeing the woman's dazed look, Han Qingluo planned to be a good person to the end: "I'll take you to dig it!" ”

So she went out of the house with the woman, but before she could leave the village, she was stopped by a stern voice: "Where are you going?" ”
