Chapter Twenty-One: Ghoul Rats
Since the living corpses ran in the direction of the Dead Man's Ditch, although there has been no more accident in the village, it has also been shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness and fear.
Strange to say, there have been more and more rats in the village lately, and almost every one of them can catch up with a cat.
Haw~
A large gray rat stood in the middle of the village road, looking around with dark bean-sized eyes.
But after what happened before, what I hate most now is rats, and as long as I see mice, I feel extremely uncomfortable and don't want to get close.
Bang!
Haw!
I kicked the stone on the side of the road in the direction of the mouse, startled the mouse away, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn, there have been more and more rats in the village recently, I really don't know where there is so much food in the village, raise these beasts!" ”
With an inadvertent remark, Liu Yixiao on the side suddenly changed her expression.
Liu Yixiao suddenly raised her hand and grabbed my arm, and I took a cold breath in some pain: "Hey, you light, a girl has so much strength." ”
"What did you just say?!" Liu Yixiao frowned and looked at me and asked.
I repeated what I had just said word by word: "I said, you are lighter, a girl has so much strength!" ”
"Not that! It's the sentence above. Liu Yixiao said with a solemn expression: "You just said that there have been more and more rats in the village recently, I don't know where there are so many things to eat in the village to raise them?!" ”
"yes, didn't you notice? Recently, there have been more rats outside the village than people, and they are all fat and big, and they are not afraid of people. Looking at Liu Yixiao's expression, I was a little scared, after all, the things that Liu Yixiao could care about were generally not good things, but I still answered truthfully.
Liu Yixiao stopped, stared at me seriously and asked: "Jiuliu, you said that now the people in the village are hiding in their own homes, and it is impossible for those rats to enter the house to steal food, so what they eat is outside, outside, what can they find to eat?" ”
"What to eat?! What to eat! I muttered to myself, and a terrible thought flashed through my mind, that there was something to eat out there, and that these rats could eat fat and big, and their hair was shiny and shiny, and they were more energetic than humans.
Liu Yixiao had already understood, nodded slowly, and agreed with my conjecture: "That's right, it's what you guessed, what can feed these many rats is the corpse buried in the dead man's ditch!" ”
These rats that have been wreaking havoc in the village lately have actually survived by eating corpse meat!
I was shocked, and I felt even more disgusted when I saw that the smooth fur on the rats was all raised by corpses.
Liu Yixiao continued to walk forward and continued: "Where there can be so many corpses near the village, it will be a dead man's ditch. ”
"Isn't that great, they can also get rid of those corpses." I tugged at the corners of my mouth and joked behind Liu Yixiao.
"Then you say, given the scale of these rats the night before, how long would it take to eat the corpses?! What will they do after eating the corpse?! The look on Liu Yixiao's face was not relaxed, her eyes were quiet, and she said lightly.
I didn't know how to answer, I was stunned.
"If they finish eating the corpses, then the next food is the living people in the village."
Liu Yixiao said it without any scruples.
I swallowed my saliva in fear, and I was also a little scared when Liu Yixiao said, so I quickened my pace and followed Liu Yixiao, a gust of wind blew, rolling up a leaf and flying in the air, I couldn't help but shiver, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on my body.
"By the way, Jiuliu, where are there more corpses near the village?" Liu Yixiao seemed to think of something, turned her head to look at me and asked softly.
"What are you going to do?!" I looked at Liu Yixiao next to me suddenly, vaguely guessed her plan in my heart, and asked vigilantly in my heart.
Seeing that I was so vigilant, Liu Yixiao covered her mouth and smiled: "No, you don't have to be so nervous, I just want to figure out one thing." ”
Sure enough, I knew that Liu Yixiao would definitely not simply want to know where there were many corpses, she just wanted to find out.
“…… Dead man's ditch. Facing Liu Yixiao's clear eyes, I was finally defeated, like a defeated rooster, shrugged my head and said: "The old man in the village said that in the past, there were people who died in the war, and later some people who died in vain were buried there. ”
Liu Yixiao insisted on going to the dead man's ditch to see the situation, I didn't worry about her alone, so I had to follow behind, although I might encounter those ghosts, I still need Liu Yixiao's protection......
I took Liu Yixiao to the Dead Man's Ditch.
But I saw a terrifying scene.
In the originally gentle ditch of the dead, huge pits appeared, and Liu Yixiao and I were in it, like a drop in the ocean.
What's even more strange is that in each giant pit, there are piles of white bones, and on top of the white bones, there is a fat mouse lying in it, with a satisfied look.
"This ...... What's going on?! I was dumbfounded, looking at the scene in front of me, could it be that these rats dug up these corpses buried in the ditch of the dead and ate them?!
Liu Yixiao was unusually calm, stood next to them and looked at the mice, and said slowly: "These are corpse eaters, they specialize in eating carrion from corpses, and the family immortals who possessed wood before are in charge of this group, and it is warning us that the time is almost up." ”
"When?" I asked for some reason.
Liu Yixiao frowned and nodded, looked around, and seemed to have found something: "Yes, before these corpses are eaten, if we haven't found out who they want, then after eating, their next rations will be the people in the village." ”
"What's wrong?" I followed Liu Yixiao to look around, except for the bare branches, there were one bone pit after another, and the people who watched were creepy and numb.
Liu Yixiao looked at me thoughtfully, and said softly, "It's okay, let's go." ”
Sure enough, as Liu Yixiao said, within a few days, the village began to see rats everywhere.
I don't know if it's the reason why no one usually walks around in the village, those rats are bold one by one, so they simply walk back and forth in the village in the daytime, and hide when they meet people, staring at you with a pair of small dark eyes.
There are even cats in the village who are forced to jump up and down by mice, baring their teeth and blowing up their hair.
At this time, I also felt what Liu Yixiao said, something that was pressed for time.
During the day, swarms of rats are scurrying, at night there are female ghosts crying, and there are living corpses that will jump out and bite your neck at some point, and finally some people can't stand it.
