Chapter 104: The Foggy Village
Erhu let out a painful groan, and the spirit of the Taoist priest and I was lifted, and our hearts were happy.
After dragging the two of us to climb for so long, the Taoist priest was a little overwhelmed, so he just stopped to rest for a while. I hurriedly called out to the two tigers: "Two tigers, two tigers......"
After shouting more than a dozen times in a row, Erhu's body finally moved, and I saw his head and hands moving, supporting the back of the Taoist priest and trying to sit up, but his body had already been tied to the Taoist priest, so it was naturally impossible to do it. I hurried forward to untie the rope and helped him to sit up.
At this time, Erhu's face was pale and very weak, but fortunately, it was not too late for us to find him, and his blood loss was not enough to be fatal. Now his wound has completely stopped bleeding, and I am afraid this is the main reason why he can wake up.
The injury on Erhu's body is a penetrating injury, although it is extremely coincidental that it did not hurt the viscera, but it also needs to be dealt with in time, what we did before was only to stop the bleeding, which does not guarantee his safety. The Taoist priest fed Erhu some water, his spirit was slightly better, and some luster was regained in his confused eyes, I knew that his consciousness was clear, and I asked him with concern: "Erhu, how do you feel, can you speak?" ”
Erhu glanced at me weakly, and the Taoist priest wanted to feed him water, but he waved his hand to block it, looked at me and smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, I thought I would die this time, but I didn't expect to meet you, God bless!" ”
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you go back, how could you be dragged there? I looked at him and asked the doubts in my heart, and the Taoist priest had the same questions, and also looked at him at this time.
Erhu looked at us helplessly and said: "I did go back that day, but there was an accident in the village, occupied by a gang of robbers, and the villagers were locked up in their own houses. ”
I and the Taoist priest looked at each other, did not speak, we have already learned about this from the mouth of the third uncle, and now the second tiger told me these information, confirming that the Taoist priest they met the person is indeed the third uncle, but what I didn't expect is that what the Taoist priest told me not long ago turned out to be right, grandma is really not in Yeling.
At that time, the Taoist priest said that as long as he went up to the ground, he would have a way to leave, and then there was a change before he could listen to him.
"We already know this, we met the third uncle before, and he came to report the letter." I briefly told the Taoist priests about their meeting with the third uncle, and the second tiger was stunned for a moment: "Third uncle, you said that the third uncle is back?" ”
"Huh? Didn't you meet the third uncle? "I feel a little strange, the Taoist priest they met the third uncle on the afternoon of the day they entered the mountain, and the second tiger left at noon, it stands to reason that the two of them should return to the village at about the same time, didn't they meet?
Erhu shook his head in confusion, I said in my heart that this is not right, the third uncle has contacted the helper before he went into the mountain to find us, it stands to reason that he should immediately meet with the helper who came from the outside world after he goes back, and then rescue the villagers, but Erhu said that he hid in the village for a day and a night after he mixed into the village, that is to say, the third uncle did not take any action after separating from the Taoist priests, how is this possible?
"Erhu, let me ask you, during the time you hid in the village, was there any unusual movement in the village?" I was worried that maybe Erhu was too nervous, so I didn't notice the movement between the third uncle and the gangsters, so I kept it in the dark, but Erhu's answer to me was very resolute: "No, I promise, absolutely not, although I have been hiding, but I have been changing places, those bad guys have guns, if the third uncle fights with them, there will definitely be gunshots, the village is so big, I can't hear it." Besides, I didn't hear the gunshots, even if it was a human voice. ”
Now I'm really confused, what the hell is going on, could it be that the third uncle and the Taoist priest had an accident after they separated?
My mood suddenly became gloomy, and I continued to ask about the current situation in Erhu Village. Erhu's eyes suddenly turned red, tears almost flowed out, he grabbed my hand, and cried sadly: "The village is gone, the village is gone, Uncle Lin is dead, Alan is also dead, I'm useless... I'm useless......"
Erhu cried sadly, and kept beating his chest with his hands, and his words made my heart sink. I hurriedly stopped Erhu and didn't let him continue to harm himself, otherwise with his current injury, if he accidentally broke the wound, we would have nothing, and he would only have a way to die.
I didn't know what was going on, so I couldn't stop comforting him and asking him what was going on? Erhu cried for a while, and then he told what he had experienced.
It turned out that at noon on the day we entered the mountain, Erhu followed the last group of villagers out of the mountain under the persuasion of me and the Taoist priest, and on the way back, Erhu found a hare, thinking that I had not come back for a long time, so he was ready to catch a hare for me to make a tooth sacrifice, so he broke off with that group of villagers. It was precisely because of this accident that Erhu was not caught by the people guarding the village monument, and when he happily carried the hare he caught and was about to enter the village, he happened to see the villagers being escorted into the village.
Erhu sensed that something was wrong at that time, hid, and after careful observation, he also found that the village was surrounded by people. However, the second tiger is different from the third uncle, the third uncle has not lived in the village for a long time, and he does not know about many new dangerous roads into the village, while the second tiger has been staying in the village for more than 20 years, is very familiar with the terrain, and found a road that no one guarded and touched the village.
After entering the village, Erhu found that the village was completely controlled, and there were many gun-wielding gangsters scattered all over the village, and the villagers were all locked up in their respective homes. The second tiger was weak and did not dare to act rashly, hiding in the cowshed of a family, and after nightfall he quietly touched several places, in a dense bush near the ancestral hall, he hid all night. In the second half of the night, many people came from outside the ancestral hall, and they shouted to the ancestral hall, but the door of the ancestral hall opened, and it was at that time that Erhu saw his grandmother, and only then did he know that his grandmother did not actually enter the forest, but in the ancestral hall.
Erhu was very excited, and wanted to rush out at that time, but the group surrounding the ancestral hall had guns in their hands, and there were many of them. Although Erhu has an upright temperament, he is not stupid, and he knows that going out is to die, so he continued to shrink in the bushes to observe the situation.
According to Erhu, almost all the elders in the village were there at that time, and the people surrounding the ancestral hall looked fierce and vicious, and the leaders were negotiating with their grandmother. Due to the distance, Erhu couldn't hear what they were saying, but the two sides didn't talk long before the conflict broke out. The gangsters raised their guns and pointed their guns at the elders at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and were finally stopped by a few black-robed people led by them, the negotiation should have failed, and the grandmother led the old people in the village back to the ancestral hall and closed the gate, and the gangsters also retreated.
Erhu, who was hiding on the side, breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to sneak into the ancestral hall to meet his grandmother, but the gang of gangsters had already surrounded the ancestral hall, and Erhu couldn't find a chance. waited like this until the next night, when it was completely dark, and Erhu finally couldn't help it.
He quietly ran to several familiar households, all of whom had shotguns and young men. According to Erhu's idea, as long as he releases these people, plus the shotguns they have in their hands, the big guys will unite, even if this gang of gangsters has guns, they can fight together, and the bloody nature of the men in the mountains is not just for fun.
But what he never expected was that none of the people he ran away from had moved. Later, Erhu couldn't help it, and climbed over the wall into the house of a brother who had the most iron relationship with him, and at first glance, Erhu was shocked, and all the people in the room fell to the ground, their faces were black and purple, and they looked as if they had been poisoned, although they were still breathing, they had completely lost consciousness.
Erhu looked through a few more houses after that, and the situation was all exactly the same, until this time, Erhu knew how vicious this group of people was, he was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. Just when he didn't know what to do, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered a person, it should be said that it was a group of people - He Xiaoyi, who was stationed in Dingyan Village not long ago because of the murder of Lao Yangtou, a group of policemen.
When he was a child, the second tiger was indeed a naughty demon king of the world, but when he grew up, this guy was really a first-class and honest law-abiding citizen. Erhu didn't think about it, and immediately touched the village guest house where He Xiaoyi and the others lived, but the situation inside made him completely cold.
The five policemen, including Niu Gang, were all unconscious, with the same symptoms as the other villagers, their faces were black and purple, their breathing was weak, and they were about to die.
Now Erhu really doesn't know what to do, there is no He Xiaoyi among the five policemen, but Erhu doesn't think that He Xiaoyi can hide from a girl, and Bacheng has also been recruited somewhere.
The situation is not optimistic, although Erhu is flustered, he has not lost his sense of proportion, and knows that he should immediately ask for help from the outside world at this time. So he found mobile phones on several unconscious policemen, not that Erhu didn't have a mobile phone, but that his mobile phone was thrown at home, and the neighborhood of his home happened to be occupied by gangsters.
Because it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, Erhu had never called the police, and he didn't know if people could go to work at night. At first, the mobile phone kept prompting that it could not be connected, but Erhu did not give up, and called for more than half an hour, and finally got him through. Erhu was just about to tell the situation in the village, but he heard something wrong with the voice from the mobile phone, it was not the sound of people talking, but an indescribable noisy sound, very harsh, there seemed to be screams in the sound, accompanied by the sizzling sound of radio interference, so frightened that the phone in Erhu's hand fell to the ground.
The situation was terrible, Erhu left the guest house in a panic, touched the side of the path, and prepared to go to the town to call the police. But that's when something truly terrible appeared.
When Erhu said this, his expression was very frightened, and it was obvious that what appeared after him was beyond his imagination.
It was a fog, a fog that appeared suddenly, and Erhu didn't notice it at the time, and he was in a hurry to leave the village, not wanting to be discovered. It was two patrolling gangsters who found Erhu, both of whom were holding rifles in their hands, who drank Erhu and pointed their guns at him. Erhu was shocked in his heart, knowing that it was over, and just as he raised his hand and turned around, he just happened to find a white mist the size of a house filling the air.
It was already past five o'clock, the sky was a little brighter, and all the lights in the village were on, so it didn't look very dark, and the sudden fog looked very strange compared to the clear environment around it. And the eyes of the two villains were all focused on the second tiger, and they didn't notice the fog approaching behind them.
In this way, the two gangsters with modern weapons disappeared without even having time to snort, yes, they just disappeared, disappeared suddenly, leaving nothing behind, along with the clothes they wore and the weapons they were carrying.
Erhu looked at all this dumbfounded, and at the same time, he saw that the village was close to the direction of Yeling, and the same fog was pouring over, they were not gradually rising like ordinary fog, but suddenly appeared from the invisible darkness, and as soon as they appeared, they were so thick that they couldn't see through it, which was very weird.
The mist soon enveloped many houses, and Erhu couldn't see anything, and the fog that had swallowed the two gangsters before slowly pounced on him. The strange scene that happened just now is still vivid, the second tiger was alert, quickly retreated, retreated into the dangerous path he entered the village, and the fog did not mean to give up, quickly followed, it seemed to have life, locked the two tigers, and seemed to not stop if the two tigers were not devoured.
The second tiger was completely frightened, frantically fled, time passed little by little in the process, and when the darkness dispersed and the sky was gray, it would not be long before the sky would be completely bright, and the second tiger also fled to a mountain ridge in the opposite direction of Yeling.
At this time, Erhu turned his head to look again, and found that the large empty field he had escaped just now was completely shrouded in that kind of white fog that was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and he couldn't even see the village at the end of the field. The fog was still spreading, and the second tiger was almost frightened crazy, and a sense of despair suddenly rose in his heart that the world was big but there was nowhere to escape, in fact, he could still go into the mountains, but the white fog would not necessarily stop outside the mountains.
Erhu sat down paralyzed, did not continue to escape, he thought that the villagers might have been swallowed by the white mist, his heart was sad, and he had the heart of death, but at this moment, the old hunter Uncle Lin and his daughter Alan appeared.
