Chapter 55: The Final Mutation
"Hey, this is" Walking into the banyan tree, through the dense cracks in the roots, I saw that in the center of the tree, a place in the soil was slightly loosened, and then, a first-born single horn, covered in dark gold, similar to the dung beetle that was injured by the dragon king last night, drilled out of the ground, but this dung beetle was several times smaller, only the size of a thumb.
"Could it be the dung beetle's toddler from yesterday?" I wondered.
The little dung beetle poked its head, shook its body, shook off the dirt on its body, and at this time, a trace of purple and golden sunlight shone on the little dung beetle's body through the crack in the tree, and suddenly, the little dung beetle seemed to be stimulated, and opened its wings violently, holding its head high, motionless in the direction of the sun's sprinkling, and vaguely, I saw that the belly of the little dung beetle was shrinking and shrinking, like the appearance of human breathing.
"Does this thing breathe?"
"The sun has risen, and the fog has lifted, brother, let's go back." Momo's voice interrupted my doubts, I smirked, and immediately put the matter of the little dung beetle behind me, followed behind Momo and Xiao Shan, and returned to Xiao Shan's home.
Soon, the time of the day passed, and at five o'clock in the evening, when the sun was about to set, a strong man came to Xiao Shan's house, said a few words in dialect, Xiao Shan stood up, and said to Mo Mo: "Little sister, Long Lao said that the time is up." ”
"Hmm." Mo Mo clenched his fists and followed behind Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan and another strong man led us to the back of the village, and when we reached a half-meter-wide road, we found that Long Lao was already on crutches, standing quietly at the intersection alone.
Seeing us approaching, Long Lao tapped the ground with his cane and said, "Little girl, your friend is from here up the mountain, and when it comes to tonight, some bloody things may happen, I didn't want to take the two of you with me, but when the time comes, another little girl may need you to comfort, alas, it's evil." ”
With a long sigh, Long Lao walked steadily towards the path. The path is less than half a meter wide, and it is the path that the village name usually steps on to go up the mountain to chop firewood, so the deeper you go, the more bushes block the middle of the road, and at the end of the day, you can't see where the road is. At this time, another strong man with Xiao Shan was holding a long machete and struggling to open the way ahead.
This walk took three or four hours. And the more he walked forward, the more ugly Long Lao's face became, and along the way, he kept muttering to himself: "I didn't expect this little girl to be so kind, I was afraid that after I had an accident, Mrs. Zhang would unintentionally break out of the deep forest, so I desperately took Mrs. Zhang to the depths, alas." ”
Since the sky had already darkened, the five of us could only follow the thin moonlight and continue to track in the deep mountains and old forests. In the end, I don't know how long I walked, Long Lao, who was walking in the middle, suddenly raised his right hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and when everyone shifted their eyes to him, Long Lao said in a low voice: "They are three hundred meters in front of them, let's slow down, don't startle the snake." ”
Hearing this, everyone calmed down, and even their breathing became slow, Xiao Shan shook his head, and said a little helplessly: "Fortunately, there are no fierce beasts in this area, otherwise if you can't wait for Mrs. Zhang's wisdom to be lost, Zhang Xiaohua may have died in Huangquan a long time ago." ”
walked forward another 300 meters, and sure enough, I found that Zhang Xiaohua was supporting Grandma Zhang, sitting on the ground with her back against a big tree.
Long Lao nodded, and led us to hide behind a big tree less than fifty meters away from Zhang Xiaohua, and then carefully observed the situation on Zhang Xiaohua's side.
Under the meager moonlight, I saw that Zhang Xiaohua's delicate little face was hung with a few scars from the branches, the dark red blood had already congealed into lumps on her face, and her black hair seemed to have been rubbed hard, lying on her face in embarrassment, which made Zhang Xiaohua look extremely haggard.
On the other hand, Grandma Zhang, only a few corners of her clothes were damaged, and she was obviously well cared for by Zhang Xiaohua along the way. Grandma Zhang sat straight next to the roots of the big tree, her expressionless face under the moonlight, giving people a sense of yin and evil.
"Look, Grandma, now it's just the two of us in the whole world, and we don't need to worry about whether we will hurt anyone else in the future. That way, I can be by your side forever, hehe. ”
Brushing a strand of hair hanging between Grandma Zhang's eyebrows, Zhang Xiaohua stared at Grandma Zhang with a gentle face.
After a long time, Zhang Xiaohua let out a breath and said, "Grandma, I don't blame you, I can understand your hard work, you don't want to leave me, and you don't worry about leaving alone, so you will end up like this." But how can I be willing to give up to you, grandma, from childhood to adulthood, since I can remember a little, you have always been by my side, taking care of me, encouraging me, and caring for me when I am sad and sad. ”
"It's been ten years, and I've forgotten what my parents looked like, but you have to endure the pain of losing your son, and pretend to be indifferent to comfort me. If you leave like this, no one will comfort me when I'm sad, talk to me when I'm sleepless, and hug me when I'm happy. Grandma, what is the meaning of my life without you? Yes, listen to Grandpa Long, tonight, your spiritual wisdom will be completely lost, and in the end, although your physical body is still alive, it is essentially dead. You have selflessly accompanied me through the most torturous ten years, and now let your good granddaughter accompany you through the end of her life. ”
"My good granddaughter" Two tears suddenly fell from the expressionless Grandma Zhang's eyes, she stared at Zhang Xiaohua and stretched out her right hand with difficulty, but her right hand fell weakly before it reached Zhang Xiaohua's forehead.
Seeing that Grandma Zhang had regained a little of her senses, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly held Grandma Zhang's right hand, said that it was placed on her forehead, and said in a slightly crying voice: "Grandma, I'm here, don't be afraid, Xiaohua will always be with you, when I couldn't sleep before, you told me stories, now let Xiaohua tell you the story, just tell the story of the angel." Legend has it that in this world, after a good person dies, he will be taken by the angels of the upper realm, and then live in heaven forever. ”
"Silly boy, no matter what, grandma wants you to live well." For the first time, Grandma Zhang's expressionless face showed a hint of happiness, but soon, Grandma Zhang's face showed a painful look, and she yelled fiercely, "Xiaohua, go away, leave me far away, I feel wrong, ah, I want to eat meat, I want to drink blood, I can't control myself." ”
"Ah" Grandma Zhang's whole body stood up violently, she waved her claws and slapped it the tree behind her, and with a bang, all five fingers of Grandma Zhang's right hand were submerged into the tree.
"Sss Seeing this scene, Long Lao took a breath of cold air and said, "The living dead don't come out for a hundred years, there are classics that describe the horror of the living dead in the era of the ancestors, this old lady has not completely mutated into the living dead, it is so fierce, if she is still mutated, I am afraid that the old man is far from her opponent, and when the world is so big, there are few people who can subdue her, it is too terrifying." ”
"Ahh After seeing Grandma Zhang's terrifying appearance and hearing Long Lao's description, Mo Mo's face became extremely ugly, and then thought of Long Lao leaving a bitter Luo Lan on Zhang Xiaohua's body, and then followed Grandma Zhang by moonlight, and finally thought of what Long Lao said before leaving: "Little girl, your friend is from here up the mountain, and when it comes to tonight, some bloody things may happen, I didn't want to take the two of you with me, but when the time comes, another little girl may need you to comfort and create evil." ”
Mo Mo seemed to think of something, and asked in a trembling accent: "Could it be that you have planned to kill Grandma Zhang a long time ago, but why have you waited until now?" No wonder you say that the time has not come, is there some conspiracy? Aren't you here to save Xiaohua now? ”
"You're misunderstanding the dragon." Xiao Shan patted Mo Mo on the shoulder and said, "You have seen how terrifying the living dead are, once the mutation of the living dead is completed, it will be a disaster for the land of China, so it is impossible for Long Lao to watch the living dead mutate without hindrance." But the relationship between Zhang Xiaohua and Mrs. Zhang is so good, if you kill Mrs. Zhang in front of you last night, it may cause Zhang Xiaohua's backlash and leave a shadow in her heart. After all, seeing that his closest people are killed, he can't do anything, who can stand this kind of injury? But if you don't kill it, it may indirectly cause a bloody storm. It is recorded in our own scriptures that the thirst for blood and flesh of the living dead is terrifying, and we do not want to watch the living dead commit evil. ”
"It's not to kill, it's not to kill, so I deliberately led Zhang Xiaohua to take Mrs. Zhang into the deep mountains and old forests, and when the time came, Mrs. Zhang completely lost her mind, and when she shot at Zhang Xiaohua, we took action as soon as possible to subdue Mrs. Zhang. chose to do it at this time, I believe that the damage to Zhang Xiaohua can be minimized. ”
After listening to Xiao Shan's statement, Mo Mo bit his lip and struggled violently in his heart. Looking at Momo's difficult appearance, Xiao Shan continued: "Momo, you are a kind child, I know you care about Zhang Xiaohua's feelings, but we can't affect other lives because of this." Besides, as soon as the time arrives tonight, Mrs. Zhang's spiritual wisdom will be completely lost, and in essence, it will be equivalent to death. I don't think Mrs. Zhang wants to see her still doing evil everywhere after she dies. Long Lao is afraid that Zhang Xiaohua will rely too much on Mrs. Zhang and can't accept this fact, since you are her good friend, you should give her more positive guidance. ”
Mo Mo stared at Zhang Xiaohua in front of him, and after taking a breath, he nodded slightly this time.
"Hehe, my good granddaughter, grandma, I'm hungry, I want to drink blood, I want to eat meat, can I give grandma some?" Not far away, Zhang Xiaohua looked worriedly at Grandma Zhang, who suddenly stood up, and just wanted to take a step forward, Grandma Zhang turned her head and said with a wicked smile, "My good granddaughter, do you know, grandma is really uncomfortable, I want to drink blood, can you bear to look at grandma's uncomfortable appearance?" ”
