Chapter 15: Poisonous Corpses

By half-past ten, all five of us had eaten and drunk, ready for a night's rest for the long journey of tomorrow.

Mo Ranchen said that he kept watch in the first half of the night, and handed it over to Liu Yang and Jin Ye in the second half of the night. Lin Su and I are in poor physical fitness, and we can only keep up tomorrow with a good rest, so we didn't arrange a vigil.

"Sleeping outside?" Mo Ranchen looked at me lying at his feet with some puzzlement.

"Hmm." I nodded, and he didn't ask any more.

We only brought a tent, but we bought a king size that could accommodate four or five people. But I'm a person who is very afraid of the cold, and sleeping by the fire is more peaceful.

After a long day of traveling, I was also exhausted, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep. But I didn't sleep well, and the wounds on my body were scorching and painful, which always kept me in a state of light sleep.

At night, Mo Zhanchen went in to rest, and when Kong Xian came out to keep vigil, I had some impressions of being half-asleep and half-awake. He brought me a dress and put it on me, maybe he was a little bored, and he rubbed my hair with his hands in the middle of the night. I was too lazy to move, so I went with him.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, we packed up our things and continued deeper into the mountains. According to the diagram of the city, the final location we will go to is a relatively shallow basin. It is located in the middle of a mountain and is shaped like a spider. Roughly speaking, it is not too far away from us, and if it goes well, it should be possible to reach it in a day or two.

Lin Su complained along the way that she forgot to bring a comb, so I had no choice but to go up and help her gouge twice with her hands, and then bundle it up.

Liu Yang, who was walking in the front, turned around and said, "Eh, little girl, what are you so stinky and beautiful?" Your clothes are all torn, and your hair is neatly combed, it's not much better. Now in this radius of a hundred miles, except for our old men, there are only wild people, and you have already won the victory. As he spoke, he sang, "You are the most beautiful ...... in my heart."

Lin Su was amused by him, and said with a smile: "Then what if I run into my male god?" ”

"Hey, it's still a male god! Your male god is a savage? I don't think the three of us have been fascinated by your charm, otherwise you wouldn't have grabbed instant noodles from me last night, and you wouldn't have been so presumptuous in grinding. After Liu Yang finished speaking, he turned his head and asked me: "Little brother, are you right?" ”

I smiled at him and hurried behind Mo Ranchen to escape the impending world war.

Sure enough, Lin Su bent down and picked up a thorn strip from the ground, raised his hand and threw it towards Liu Yang, "Who do you say grinding his teeth?" You say it again, try it! ”

"Ouch, eldest lady, why don't you do it without speculation, if you don't admit it, you won't admit it, I think it's over if I don't hear it. Eh, you don't, you don't come, really hey! Liu Yang swayed around to avoid Lin Su's thorns, but the smile on his face was like a flower.

By noon we had gone deep into the mountains, and it was not easy to walk in the mountains, and we searched many areas in the vicinity, but we did not find a single road. I sighed silently in my heart all the way, if I found a tour guide, it would save a lot of trouble.

After walking another one or twenty miles, I suddenly found that we were actually back on track, and traces of human activity began to appear under our feet, and there was obviously a path that had been stepped on in the distance, and by this time it had begun to darken, and I looked down at my watch and walked for another four or five hours.

"Where are you spending the night tonight?" Lin Su looked at the steep slope in front of him, and looked like he couldn't see hope.

I wasn't worried, for the roof of a hut in the distance had peeked out from among the trees, and I pointed in the direction and said, "The thatched hut ahead should be an intermediate station." ”

"What is an intermediate station?" Lin Su didn't quite understand, at first glance it was a girl from the city, and she didn't know how difficult it was to go out of the mountain and enter the mountain, so I explained: "This intermediate station was built by the people of the mountain village to avoid staying overnight in the wild on the way out of the mountain. If there is no mountain village in it, it may be a temporary foothold set up by people who go into the mountains to hunt and gather medicinal herbs. It is usually a wooden house, covered with oilcloth and wool grass, and the area is not large, but it can shelter from the wind and rain, and there are some necessities of life, such as oil lamps, firewood, pots and pans, etc., and even vegetables can be found around. ”

When we saw the house, we had a little bottom in our hearts, and while walking in the direction of the house, we paid attention to whether there was a little cutie in the grass forest who could be used as dinner.

Before dark, we finally arrived at the temporary settlement, but the thatched hut was very dilapidated, the wooden planks and grass on the roof had partially collapsed, and it was clear that no one had come for a long time, so it must have been deserted.

However, the daily necessities in it are very perfect, but we can't use much at present, the pots and pans are almost rotten, and the spoons have become colanders full of holes. The small jar in the corner was marinated in the bean curd, and when I opened it, I saw that it was full of maggots, and I almost hooked up my dinner yesterday.

"It stinks in here!" Lin Su covered his nose and complained.

There was indeed a strange smell in the house, like something rotting, and like the smell of a sewer, but such a good ventilation structure didn't let the smell dissipate.

All in all, from the perspective of home building, this foothold is quite good, the wooden structure is very stable, except for the loopholes left after the roof collapse, shelter from the wind and rain is still no problem, saving us the trouble of setting up tents.

Liu Yang cut some hay around and prepared to lay a floor for us. Mo Ranchen and Kong Xian continued to look for food, after all, they had followed the road all the way before, and they really didn't see anything to eat. A few sand snakes slipped past me, and they almost scared me half to death.

I was too lazy to move, so I was responsible for cleaning up the house with Lin Su.

However, I really can't start cleaning up, and I don't like the rags on the table, not to mention how dirty they are. I saw a wooden stick in the corner, so I picked it up and tried to top the dead grass hanging from the roof to see if I could hang it on the board, so that it would not be ignited when the fire was lit at night.

"Gross!"

As soon as I poked two sticks, a retching sound came into my ears, and it was Lin Su's voice.

I looked back at her, and she was leaning against the wall, her little face pale and retching.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Yes......" she could no longer utter a complete sentence, and pointed to the place in the corner where the straw mat was covered.

I walked over and lifted the corner of the straw mat, and I was so frightened by the sudden appearance in front of me that I almost sat down...... One foot.

"Is it a person?" As I said to myself, I felt my lips tremble a little, and I didn't know whether to lift or put down the straw mat in my hand.

Lin Su can be regarded as having experienced this time, if it was an ordinary little girl, it is estimated that she would have run out screaming.

I can say without modesty that the corpses I have seen are enough to hold an exhibition, but this corpse, just one glance at my feet, makes me feel cold all over my body.

As it was getting dark, the house was dimly lit, and all I could see was a vague outline, and an emerald ...... Green.

"Little brother, these grasses should be enough, and I will also set up the firewood outside, just waiting for Jin Ye and Mo Zhanchen's game."

Liu Yang smiled and entered the room, and as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere was wrong, and looked at me and Lin Su in a daze and asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you two speak? What about playing one, two, three, wooden people? ”

I pondered that Liu Yang was not a cowardly master, so it shouldn't be a tragic thing for him to look at a corpse. So he put down the corner of the straw mat in his hand, smiled maliciously and said, "There are good things, do you want to see them?" ”

"What the hell, it's still mysterious." Liu Yang was a rough man, he didn't think much about it, strode over, and lifted the entire straw mat with one hand.

Then the whole atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

"Fuck ......" Liu Yang scolded in a low voice, and then his legs were weak and he sat on the ground with his buttocks. He also supported the ground with his hands, and moved back desperately, until he moved out of the door before stopping.

Lin Su estimated that he was the same as me, and he didn't see the whole picture of the corpse, so he turned his head and glanced at it, and hurriedly ran towards the door, almost falling down twice in the middle of the way.

I have been watching the actions of these two people, beating Liu Yang and lifting the straw mat, I didn't dare to look at it. Now that I see their reactions, I am curious and a little afraid to look at them.

He stood in a daze for nearly five minutes.

"Giggle......

With a rooster crow, Mo Ranchen walked in from outside, still carrying three pheasants tied with rope in his hand. He obviously saw Liu Yang and Lin Su's reactions and knew that something was going on inside.

First turned his head to look at me standing in the corner, and then walked to the corpse, his eyes scanned the corpse of Liu Yang and Lin Su very carefully, his expression was indifferent, as if in his eyes this was just an antique worth appreciating.

I felt a little incredible, and my heart said: Why are you so calm? Are we seeing the same corpse? Or have you developed a stronger heart than we did after a day trip to the corpse field?

"He died of poisoning...... Mo Yanchen said, his brows furrowed tightly, "You haven't touched this corpse, have you?" ”

"Bump ......," I stammered a little, "touching the straw mat covering him, does it count?" ”

"I can't say." Mo Ranchen's expression became very solemn.

What do you mean by being inaccurate? Seeing him like this, I was even more curious, and I stiffened my head to look at the terrible corpse.

I really can't say anything at this moment, how do I describe the corpse in front of me? It was no longer possible to distinguish whether it was a real person or a dummy, and its whole body was green, even giving people a transparent feeling. The blood vessels on the body are clearly visible, showing an inky black color, like a silk mesh wrapped around the corpse. Its face was extremely distorted, and it looked like it was in pain when it died.

The moment I saw the corpse, I seemed to know why Liu Yang and Lin Su were so scared.

The eyes of this corpse turned out to be open! Not only that, but it also gives a very fresh feeling, as if a living green weirdo is staring at you, as if the next second it will pounce on you, have a close encounter with you, and then go to hell together.

"If you've ever touched a corpse, you might not survive tonight." Mo Yanchen's cold voice smashed on my heart like a heavy blow.
