abnormal

There was a terrible scream behind him, and some inexplicable wails and laughter, all of which inadvertently reminded Ciri and Phil that this time things were not as simple as they imagined.

"What are you doing? It's better to go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get out for a while, and if it gets foggy at this time, it won't be easy to go. The old man's voice felt very strange, as if it was changing at any time, it was really a little confusing, but now, leaving this forest was the main thing, and the rest could only be said to be straight to the bridge.

In this way, the old man walked in front, and Ciri and Phil followed closely behind, but they still kept a distance from the old man, and if the old man in front of him was a ghost, he would have enough time to react.

It's impossible to tell the time now, but why do you talk about fog? If it's foggy, imagine the previous experiences, there should be a ghost.

"Actually, you don't have to be too afraid, there is a saying that it is a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, you don't have to think about anything in your hearts, what should come will still come." The old man spoke again, but every sentence could fully express their feelings, which made Ciri feel more and more uneasy, and she must find a way to see through the old man's true face.

The three of them kept walking forward, and slowly walked out of the forest with the sound of their feet stepping on the branches.

"It's getting late now, and there's nowhere to go, so why don't you go with me to the village, and remember that at night, no matter what sound you hear, don't agree, don't go out, and don't go sneaking around." The old man's voice suddenly became extremely vicissitudes. Phil was slowly starting to get nervous.

"Then the two of us will bother." Ciri agreed to the old man's request in one go.

In this way, the old man took them to the village, but the village was lifeless, and there was no sign of life, but every house was lit with lights, and the streets were clean, only at the entrance of the village, and the old lady who sold things sat at the door of the house, and the old lady saw two strangers coming from the entrance of the village.

"Lady Wang, it's so late, haven't you closed the stall yet? That's right, you haven't got the stall yet, make two servings, I'll go back and clean up the room first, and treat these two well, so that it's all recorded in me. The old man finished and left, leaving only two people standing in place.

"Oh, it's good if you call me Mrs. Wang, you are a foreigner, it is a face that you have never seen before, just make two servings, our special dishes here, usually the people in the village will come to eat here, thank you for looking up to me." Wang Po looked at them with a new eye.

Then he turned around and went to get busy.

Ciri and Phil sat on a small stool with a pot of tea on the table, and Ciri reached for the teapot and teacup, which was upside down on a plate. "What's wrong? Did you notice something, or is it abnormal? Phil watched Ciri's actions and reached for the teacup as well. The teacup is still warm, and the water in the teapot is also hot, which means that the teacup has just been used, and the water in the teapot has just been boiled, so there seems to be nothing abnormal. Phil said and picked up a teacup, and when he got a glass of water, the water vapor of the hot water had been steaming, and through the yellow light, the steam that could be seen should be no problem if it was hot, because when he was in the villa, the food froze when it was cold, because there were ghosts around, it was hot, and there should be no such thing as ghosts.

"Yes, but the size of this village should be small, and it is impossible to boil water all the time, you look carefully, the kettle is hot, but the table at the bottom is still cold, and there is dust on the table, that is, it is not used often, because few people come. It's still a coincidence that we're here, and the old man just now. Ciri still felt that it was not normal, and Phil was also thinking about the details.

"Yes, it's really very suspicious for you to say that, first of all, in the woods, he suddenly appeared, and then didn't you say it before, he is very familiar with everything in the woods, and I just saw the eyes of Wang Po, it seems that I am a little afraid of him, my eyes have been dodging something, I don't dare to look at us head-on, and now it is basically certain that the old man I met in the forest, forget it, that old man, is not normal." Phil turned his head to look at the princess, who was a typical old woman.

"Grandma Wang, don't be busy yet, come here, let's have some tea, let's talk a little about homely things." Ciri suddenly raised her voice and speaking speed, Ciri's voice seemed very enthusiastic, Phil looked at Ciri, because she believed that Ciri must have her own reason for doing this, and didn't say anything more, Phil just looked at Ciri quietly, with brown hair and big shining eyes.

When the princess heard Ciri's shout, she stopped the tools she was busy with, covered the pot, added a handful of firewood, and walked over unhurriedly.

When Wang Po left, Phil looked at the pot stove curiously, it was just a traditional rural pot, and there was nothing special, it's just that the firewood burned looked like a thigh, anyway, it was a bone or something.

"Don't worry, where are you from?" Wang Po's voice is very normal, and she has never seen it in appearance, but she looks like an ordinary old woman. "We came from outside to do a research mission, that wood, it's really hard to walk, it's all pits and branches, and you can't see anything." After Ciri finished speaking, she poured two cups of tea, one for herself and one for the princess.

Is it because you are thinking too much? If the old man, this is a ghost, and the village is all normal people, then it is a little unreasonable.

"You guys! Have you worn it? The place of death. When she heard this, she was very surprised and nervous, and immediately stood up, looking very restless, and her eyes were very frightened, as if she had seen something terrible. Seeing this, Phil also took possession, while carefully looking around, while carefully observing the stove, after looking around, his eyes looked directly at the princess, and Ciri saw Phil looking at the princess with an expressionless face, so he coughed softly twice.

"What are you doing, scared me to death, Suddenly stood up, you seem to be very scared, that forest, what's wrong, we don't think there is anything abnormal, what do you say, let's sit down and talk slowly, come, drink saliva first." Phil behaved very suddenly, but she knew what Ciri meant by "cough cough" just now, so she smiled embarrassedly at Wang Po twice, and sat down again, Wang Po looked at the two of them, sighed, and sat down too, holding the teacup in both hands.

"Well, it's a long story, I'm also from an outsider, before, I met a shipwreck on a boat, and I fell into this place, and slowly settled down, this place, people can't leave the village, that is, after people die, each family disposes of the corpses themselves, buries them in their own yards, dry wells, etc., but I don't know what's going on, there are often dead people in the village for a while, and there are livestock that have been inexplicably drained of blood, and the forest you are talking about, we locals, is called the Forest of Death, at the end of the forest, there is a mass grave and a very dilapidated palace, and there were many treasure hunters before, all of whom died. ”

"Then many people went to look for their bodies, but the people who went into the woods never came back, and there were always sneering and crying in the woods, and there were also fights and shouts, but there were also the sound of musical instruments, and the old guys in the village did not know, but there was only one exception, that is, the old man who had just left, we all called him Uncle Zhang, and he always looked like he was not a man or a ghost, and it was said that he was one of those people, and they were a group of people, and they were a hateful robber. Planned to snatch the jewelry and things inside, did not listen to the dissuasion of the village chief at that time, and hacked the village chief's family to death in a fit of anger, and then a group of people went into the forest, and when he came out, only himself, covered in blood, the whole body was blurred with flesh and blood, and at night, that group of people, slaughtered the village, and then their figures, once again disappeared into the deep forest, you are careful A little bit of him is still better, I have never seen him eat and drink, eat five poisons, drink dew. The princess explained to them very patiently, and got up when she finished speaking, and when she spoke, her expression was very calm and calm, and she turned around to get busy, and Phil took the cup, raised his little thumb, pointed to the direction of the stove, and motioned to Ciri to look.

Ciri looked in the direction of Phil's finger, but unfortunately, the figure of the princess was blocked there just now, and she didn't see anything, but Ciri found something else, the color of the flame, emitting black smoke, it should be burned with some oily branches, anyway, it must have a lot of oil, It smells of some burning, like the burnt smell of burnt meat!!

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Wang, we're leaving, I'm really embarrassed this time, if you have a chance, tell Uncle Zhang, and say that we thank him, but we still have something, let's go first, I'm sorry, thank you for your hospitality." When Ciri stood up, he pretended to be careless and spilled the teacup, and the ceramic cup fell to the ground early, and there was no problem with the cup itself, but the problem was the appearance of the water in the cup, the water should be colorless, but when it was spilled, it was obvious that the water in the cup was red when it was sprinkled on the ground.

Also blood-red water.
