But before Siqi could figure out whether to go or stay, a sturdy golden retriever sprang out of the bedroom and pounced straight at him. Yu Siqi, who could only subconsciously dodge, said secretly in his heart: "It's not good", but he was still pounced on by the dog, and the scarlet tongue was hanging down and licking his face.

"This dog really doesn't know how to watch the house." Yu Siqi withdrew the dagger in his hand and touched the 'enthusiastic' dog, and the other party also wagged his tail happily. Looking away from the golden retriever, Yu Siqi saw an old woman with gray hair holding a shotgun at him and asked, "Who sent you?" ”

"Don't be impulsive, have something to say." Yu Siqi realized that he had been deceived by this 'enthusiastic dog', first used the dog to distract himself, and then approached with a gun, the 'old woman' in front of him had some brains!

"I've been very restrained, and after my own territory has been frequently harassed, I can still politely talk to 'visitors', which is a kind of 'self-discipline' in itself." The old woman took a step back and tilted her head to signal Yu Siqi to enter the lighted room.

In fact, it stands to reason that Yu Siqi should run away, after all, he is in the darkness now, and he also thinks that his skills must be much more agile than the old woman. But the other party has a gun, even if the body is old, but as long as you can pull the trigger, I'm afraid you can drink a pot of it.

After pondering for a while, Yu Siqi thought that it was better not to move without being completely sure.

Obeying his orders, he walked into the bedroom where he should have sneaked in, and the old woman pushed Yu Siqi forward with the muzzle of her gun until she sat down in a printed high-backed chair.

After taking a closer look at Yu Siqi, he said, "As long as you promise not to move, I will let you go." ”

"This condition is very suitable," Yu Siqi agreed.

"Can you tell me why you, as a big living person with hands and feet, came to my half-dead old woman's house in the middle of the night?" The old woman held a shotgun in one hand and beckoned her dog with one hand to ask.

"I want to find a watch here, and when I'm away from home, I need to have the right thing to remind me of the time." Yu Siqi said calmly.

"That's it?" The old woman was a little unconvinced, she stared at Yu Siqi suspiciously for a long time, and after finding that the other party was indifferent, she gave up.

"Can I take your word for it? At this point in time, you're telling me you're only here for a watch? The old woman's cloudy eyes were tinged with a hint of discoloration, and Yu Siqi could clearly feel that her mood was a little unstable, which was not good news for herself. Maybe he should be prepared in advance, judging from his current position and her position, he can reach the other party's arm within three steps. However, he has not learned any fighting skills, nor has he practiced in actual combat, is there any good way to take the opponent's weapon when he suddenly approaches? Snatching by force is certainly not a good suggestion, and if there is any deviation, you will have to eat the gun.

Yu Siqi, who didn't come up with any countermeasures, fell into a long thought, and at this time, the old woman did not continue to speak, and the two sides entered a silent confrontation.

Then, a noise outside drew the attention of both of them. The old woman wanted to stand up and go to see what was going on, but after trying a few times, she found that she couldn't stand up at all, so she turned her face to Yu Siqi and said, "You go and see what is going on for me, don't try to play tricks." The old woman's muzzle rose a little more.

"As long as you don't get impulsive, I won't move." Yu Siqi tried to make his voice sound less timid, and walked to the windowsill to look down.

The streets outside were bustling with people, the same people who had been chasing him before. But they didn't seem to be looking for something at this time, but escorting something.

When he looked closely, sure enough, there were three living people tied up by ropes in front of the large army who were being escorted to a certain place by those emotional townspeople, and the person in the lead didn't know him, but the prisoners next to him had a little impression, wasn't that Zhao Yong and a certain female host he had watched on TV before?

It's over, why did that Zhao Yong still come over, and he was caught. It's really, and I don't know what to say.

It wasn't until the 'big army' below faded away that Yu Siqi turned back to the old woman and explained to him what he had seen and heard.

"Is it going to start again?" The old woman's expression was surprisingly calm, and she slowly put down the shotgun in her hand and said, "Don't leave this house tonight, there is a room next to me, and if you take a shower, there is a bathroom downstairs." ”

Faced with the sudden change in the old woman's attitude, Yu Siqi didn't quite understand, and even had some doubts. The old woman seemed to realize this, and she put her shotgun on the leg of her chair and said, "If you don't want to die, I suggest that you leave Mendu Town tomorrow morning, go back to the society of the living, and forget all about it." Of course, don't take the big road. ”

"I don't understand what you mean," Yu Siqi said directly, "Did that scene happen many times just now?" ”

"Do you know that this means anything to you?" The old woman asked indifferently.

"There are people I know in there," Yu Siqi was disgusted by such indifference, and he raised his voice slightly and said, "Maybe I am not friends with him, but he has helped me." ”

"Then what you should do is try to live rather than find out what he's going through." The old woman's tone was very calm, like an emotionless robot.

"Is ignorance a blessing? I've thought about this before, but now it doesn't seem to apply to me. Yu Siqi dragged a chair over and sat down across from her and asked, "If it's convenient, can you tell me everything you know?" ”

"It's likely that you've never seen something in your life, but even then do you want to find out?" She confirmed for the last time, and when she saw Yu Siqi's resolute gaze, she leaned back in her chair and said, "You should know that there is no living person in Mendu Town now, right?" ”

"Yes, I've seen this strange phenomenon in the daytime." Yu Siqi said.

"In fact, not only Mendu Town, but also the entire Tangjiawan area is like this." The old woman coughed a few times, and some black blood splattered on her chest, but she didn't care about it at all, and continued: "This old woman in front of you has been dead for three months, and unlike the other townsfolk who were killed, I died of illness. But you can see it now, I'm alive again, I can eat, I can walk, I can think, and I still have insomnia as often as before. ”

"How did you come back to life?" Yu Siqi has also experienced resurrection from the dead, so he doesn't particularly care about this kind of unbelievable thing, he cares more about the reason.

"I just remember that when I crawled out of the dirt, the whole cemetery was submerged in water." The old woman struggled to recall: "There were terrible sights everywhere, and I myself was frightened and fainted several times before I reluctantly returned home. ”

"Tell me what will happen to those who are caught, they seem to be miserable if you hear me." Yu Siqi shifted the subject to his greater concern.

"Don't worry, young man, don't you want to know what they want to do?" The old woman asked.

"Of course I want to know, but I also want to know what happens to them." Yu Siqi said.

"To be sacrificed as a living sacrifice," said the old woman, "you know that although we dead people have come back to life, our bodies are still rotting day by day, and this is probably a violation of the laws of nature." There is only one way to slow down decay, and that is the 'blue elixir'. ”

After speaking, the old woman took out a small ** child from her arms, shook it in front of Siqi and said: "This strange substance of suspicious origin can make the laws of nature temporarily ineffective in us, I don't know how much the effect is, and I don't plan to know." Being able to breathe normal air again is a luxury, but some ungrateful guys are using this 'luxury' to break the bigger rules. ”

"I've heard this elsewhere, and more than once, but thank you for filling in the area I didn't understand." Yu Siqi said euphemistically.

"Who did you listen to?" The old woman asked.

"How many of your 'people' are there, like Shibo, Barry, and the dog?" Yu Siqi recalled it for a moment, and found that the faces of these people were still so clear in his mind.

"Hmph" the old woman snorted contemptuously, as if she was disdainful of the people Siqi said, which made him very concerned.

"I see, were you taken by Shi Yi Chun to Barina in Mendu Town by Hitchhiker on the main road, and then he asked the dog to take you around town. Then you stayed at his sister's, and in the end you escaped without being caught for some reason, and ran to me to steal something, or take refuge? Although there were some deviations in the details of the old woman's words, they were basically the same as what Yu Siqi had experienced.

This made him startled and asked, "How did you know so much detail?" ”

"Of course I know, it's something that all the inhabitants of the whole town of Mendu know. The sinister Barry and the cunning Shi Yi Chun and his 'dog legs' have murdered many outsiders with this very 'childish' routine, I'm afraid they don't even know themselves. The old woman said in disgust, "The so-called 'blue elixir' is nothing more than a special substance extracted from the bones of the living after their sacrifice, this is what a young man with glasses told me." That's the only reason why I didn't keep taking it, I'd rather these old legs rot completely than be a 'man-eating monster'! ”

"What an impassioned speech," the dog's voice came from outside the house, "but isn't it a little?" ”
