Chapter 10 The Pond Side

Previous Chapter

"What the hell is going on?" Zou Lianwen bent over, holding his knees with both hands, beads of sweat falling from his head, but he didn't have time to care about these anymore, "That monster, what does it want to do?" ”

"I don't know, but after we got out of the woods, he didn't seem to chase anymore." Zhai Yong still looked gloomy and indifferent, he paused and continued, "He should have his own range of activities, Lao Qian said that he found him in the forest twenty years ago, and Erxi said that he was caught by it in the forest, and he was in the forest just after chasing us, but after he got out of the woods, he stopped chasing ......"

"Ahh Wang Leilei's scream interrupted Zhai Yong's reasoning, he pointed to the pond in front of him in horror, there was a person lying on his stomach in the shallow place by the pond, his slender body was wearing slim jeans, and a down shoulder was covered with a knitted sweater, the water of the pond submerged half of his face, the unkempt ponytail had no life, and the eyes that showed the water stared ahead in horror - she was clearly Zhang Ying, who had disappeared in the morning, she was lying motionless in the water, without a trace of breath.

When Lao Qian saw this scene, he sat on the ground in fright, his face was distorted and looked very painful, as if he couldn't say anything, so he could only instinctively kick the ground with his feet and retreat a long way. When Zou Lianwen and the others saw him, they immediately reacted to what was going on at this time-this was exactly the same as the death of those villagers who died of strange diseases twenty years ago, which evoked the memories of Lao Qian. Everyone immediately retreated backwards towards the woods, for fear that the "strange disease" carried by Zhang Ying would infect them. It wasn't until they retreated to the edge of the woods that they stopped.

"What's next? Call the police? Zhai Yong asked with a gloomy face.

"But there's no cell phone signal here!" Li Jing said.

"You have to cross Dongling Mountain to the east of the deserted village to get a signal." Lao Qian lowered his head, and suddenly came out with this sentence, "But if you go back now, it may be dark over there, and it will be ......"

"And we've got to walk through the woods just now." Zou Lianwen sat next to the tree, he raised his eyes and glanced at everyone's expressions, and immediately understood that everyone didn't want to go back through the woods to call the police, so he raised his head and said slowly, "Then we have to determine one thing next - whether Zhang Jing has an infectious disease on her body." ”

"Holy! Are you crazy?! How can you be sure of this? People are gone! What if there is a contagious disease? Do you still want us to live?! Chen Erxi said emotionally, "Anyway, you have to go by yourself, we won't accompany you." It won't do us any good anyway. ”

Zhai Yong listened to Chen Erxi's words, and his cold face finally changed a little, these performances proved that Zhai Yong was a little angry, but just when Zhai Yong stared at Chen Erxi and wanted to speak, Wang Leilei rushed to Chen Erxi's front with an arrow, pointed at Chen Erxi's nose and said, "How can you talk like this, whether you have anything to do with Zhang Ying or not." She went out with us to travel and had an accident, shouldn't everyone try to help? What's more, she is still my best friend, Zhai Yong's girlfriend, it doesn't matter if you don't help, but why do you say that kind of thing in front of us? Doesn't that hurt? Can't you bear to spend the night by the pond with her, a girl? Do you know if there are any wild beasts around here, and will they run out at night to eat her corpse?! ”

Wang Leilei's series of machine-gun-like questions made Chen Erxi speechless, he scratched the back of his head, and said, "I...... I didn't expect that much, I ...... I was probably just too scared, me, me! ”

"Don't talk! Look! It was Li Jing who spoke, everyone looked in the direction of her finger, there was a buck with broken antlers in the distance, drinking water by the pond, the pond was slightly rippling, slowly rippling, the sunset sprinkled on the lake flashed golden light, everything seemed very quiet, out of Zhang Ying lying on the ground, she was like a black hole, constantly attracting everyone's attention. But the well-drunk stag didn't care, it first raised its head and looked at Chen Erxi and his party arrogantly, and then turned around and left leisurely.

Looking at the doe leaving, Chen Erxi seemed to think of something, he just wanted to speak but was taken by Zhai Yong, and his cold voice startled him.

"Maybe Zhang Ying didn't have a strange disease."

"Why do you say that?" Old Qian looked at Zhai Yong coldly and asked.

"Zhang Ying looks like she's been soaking in the water for a long time, and the deer with the broken horn came to drink water, but nothing happened." Zhai Yong looked at Lao Qian and said.

"That's it?" Old Qian looked disdainful.

"Indeed, if this alone is difficult to tell whether Zhang Ying has been infected, after all, the virus is likely to have an incubation period, if it is rashly approached now, and Zhang Ying is infected with a strange disease, then we are very dangerous." Zou Lianwen echoed.

"So what do we do now? I don't want to leave Zhang Ying here alone, Uncle Qian, how did the people in the village deal with these people lying in the pond when they found them? ”

"This ......," Lao Qian didn't know how to answer for a while, he looked at everyone and had to continue, "At first, everyone carried them back to the village, but later everyone said that it was a strange disease, and no one dared to touch the corpse. ”

"And what happened to the corpses?" Chen Erxi asked with concern.

Together, the villagers built a platform out of wood and burned the bodies on the platform. Yes! It was the old village chief who carried the corpse all the time, and no one else dared to move it. ”

"What happened to the village chief?" Li Jing looked at Lao Qian fixedly and asked.

"Dead."

There was silence.

"It's an old age, and if you die suddenly while lying in bed, it should be a joy and mourning!"

"Damn, don't say it sooner" Chen Erxi looked at Lao Qian reproachfully, stood up and prepared to walk to the lake.

"Hey! Wait a minute! It was Zou Lianwen who spoke

"What's wrong with you, uncle?" Chen Erxi turned around impatiently and looked at Zou Lianwen and asked.

"You can't just get over like that! We are still not sure if Zhang Ying has any infectious diseases. ”

"Oh, didn't you listen to Lao Qian, the old village chief has been carrying the corpse all the time, hasn't it been okay all the time?!"

"Then how can you be sure that you and the old village chief have the same physique? Did the old village chief usually eat anything special? Do you have any special habits? You don't know any of this, and you dare to come close? ”

Chen Erxi stopped talking, he looked at everyone in confusion, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only stand in place.

"That'...... So what do we do? Wang Leilei asked with a crying voice.

"Let's go back first, go over Dongling Mountain and then go to the police." Zhai Yong said.

"But...... But how do we get through the woods? Li Jing hesitated

"I thought of a way, we dispersed, everyone was about 4 meters apart, and then slapped in order as we walked, Zou Lianwen was on the far right, then Lao Qian, then Wang Leilei, Li Jing, Chen Erxi, and finally me. If there is no abnormality, just clap your hands in this order, after Zou Lianwen claps, Lao Qian continues to clap, and so on until me, I will clap my hands twice in a row immediately after clapping, and then reverse back in the previous order, and finally Zou Lianwen will clap again, Zou Lianwen will clap his hands like me after hearing Lao Qian clap his hands, and he will clap his hands like me, and so on, if he encounters a situation, he will clap his hands continuously, if the monster attacks one of us, everyone will follow the voice of the person and rush over, That monster is used to putting his hands on people's shoulders and won't attack right away, so we take advantage of this gap to surround him, with two girls in the middle, and better physical strength on both sides, do you have a problem? ”
