Chapter 8: The Skeleton Beetle

Fang Rui followed Ni Zhiwei to the village to take a look again, and after a few words of advice, Uncle Xu, who was a little uncertain, decided to stay at the entrance of the village to watch Li Lei and a few of them paint.

Further down the village, there was still not a single living thing, and there were broken walls and entangled skull vines everywhere. Fang Rui felt that the air pressure here was a little low, making people feel tightness in the chest and shortness of breath.

Ni Zhiwei got into the stone room with great interest, and the remaining furnishings inside could be seen to be simple and poor back then. After Fang Rui followed Ni Zhiwei into a few stone houses, Ni Zhiwei was a little unhappy, except for the skull vine, there was really nothing.

"Let's go back to them." Ni Zhi proposed.

"What is that place?" Fang Rui pointed behind Ni Zhiwei, the stone house was surprisingly not collapsed and damaged, but it was wrapped by a large number of creepers and other vines, but there was not a single skeleton vine. This is in stark contrast to the skull vines that fill the surroundings.

"It's complete, and you see it's actually bigger than the surrounding stone houses." Ni Zhiwei looked at it.

"Let's take a look?" Fang Rui asked.

"Uh... All right. Ni Zhiwei was a little hesitant, but thinking that it was daylight and there were two men again, he naturally couldn't show his timidity.

When he came to the stone house, Fang Rui found that the gate was actually iron, but half of the door fell to the ground due to the rust caused by the wind and rain for a long time. Entering the house through the iron door, the original windows were full of creepers, and only some light could be drilled through the cracks in the vine leaves, shining on the bluestone slabs on the ground, showing a crooked maze of light maps. Apart from these, there was nothing in the house, a very empty field.

However, the smell in the house was not very good, perhaps because of the lack of ventilation, the musty smell and dust smell made Fang Rui can't help but sneeze, and the echo in the house was formed for a long time before dissipating.

After seeing nothing special in the stone house, Fang Rui and Ni Zhiwei left and walked back to the entrance of the village, and only halfway through they saw the crowd rushing towards them.

Li Lei, who was at the head, shouted at them while running: "Run, run, run, there are flying insects that eat people!" ”

Fang Rui looked behind everyone, and a large area of white flowers was actually a small skull flying in the air, and more small skulls were drilled out of the skull vine flowers that those small skulls flew over. Frightened, Ni Zhiwei and Fang Rui suddenly turned pale, turned around and ran.

But the little skulls behind him are flying closer and closer, and there are skull vines all around, where should I flee to? Fang Rui, who was running, ran with force under his feet, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering the stone house just now, there were no skull vines around it! Thinking of this, Fang Rui shouted: "Follow me!" ”

Everyone had no other choice in the panic, and ran to the stone house with Fang Rui, and when the last person, Sun Xiaoxiao, entered the stone house, they found that sure enough, this stone house had a bit of a doorway, even if the door was half damaged and it was open, but those little skulls all stopped outside the house, and none of them came in.

At this time, Fang Rui could look at them intently, it turned out that they were all beetles with skull patterns on their backs, and they would look like a person's skeleton from a distance.

"What's wrong with Han Xinghua?" Ni Zhiwei, who finally stopped, found that Li Lei who ran over did not have Han Xinghua among them.

"Wow~~!" As soon as he heard Han Xinghua's name, Su Su, who had relaxed, immediately burst into tears, and the others were also frightened, but no one spoke.

"What the hell is going on? Speak! Ni Zhiwei felt bad and asked loudly.

It took a long time for Li Lei to tell the terrifying scene just now.

Not long after Ni Zhiwei and Fang Rui left, Han Xinghua threw the brush and shouted: "If you can't paint it, you don't have any inspiration." ”

After speaking, Han Xinghua packed up the painting tools and looked around the others, looked at the paintings of Li Lei and the others, and after feeling bored, Han Xinghua turned to a skull vine again, took out her mobile phone, and slapped at the flowers.

"Alas, why are you messing around with this female doll, this flower looks unlucky, and it can't be picked!" Old man Xu on the side rushed over and shouted.

"It's just a flower, it's a wildflower and no one cares." Han Xinghua pouted.

Li Lei and others, who heard the argument between the two, put down their paintbrushes and walked over. Han Xinghua didn't bother to pay attention to Old Man Xu's broken thoughts when he saw that his friends were coming, put the skull flower under his nose and took a deep breath, and said, "The fragrance of this flower is like roast chicken, you can smell it too." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a white shadow burst out of the stamen and instantly drilled into Han Xinghua's nose.

Ahh The skull flower fell to the ground, and Han Xinghua let out a big sneeze, followed by a blood mist, followed by a big sneeze, and the blood that spurted out of Han Xinghua's nose shot out like a fountain. was so frightened that everyone was stunned at that time, and the old man Xu who was standing in front of her was sprayed with blood all over his face.

And Han Xinghua was still sneezing, and after a short time of donating blood, her clothes and the ground in front of her were stained red, and the thick and sour smell of blood made everyone retch while retreating.

Li Lei held his breath and stepped forward to pull Han Xinghua, but he didn't expect her to be pulled around, and at the same time, there was a sneeze, and all the blood was sprayed on the skull vine in front of her.

Suddenly, flying insects came out of those skull flowers, they were not big but had skull patterns on their nails, and pounced on Han Xinghua.

At this time, Han Xinghua was already sitting on the ground due to excessive blood loss, but blood was still pouring out of her nostrils. Those skeleton insects stung her face, and on her hands, a strange chewing sound came, and Han Xinghua was stung all over her face before she even had time to scream, as if it was a ball formed by countless small skulls.

Su Su was the first to scream, turned around and ran, Sun Xiaoxiao and Old Man Xu followed closely behind. Li Lei was also frightened after seeing one of Han Xinghua's fingers peeking out of the dinging beetle's white bones, and then he ran wildly.

"So, you mean Han Xinghua... By those ... What bugs ate it? Ni Zhiwei asked tremblingly.

Li Lei closed his eyes and nodded.

Ni Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, and the whole person stood there stupidly and couldn't say a word.

"What do we do now? The insects can't get in, but we can't get out either! Sun Xiao smiled and took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, "There is no signal on the mobile phone, so I can't call for help!" ”

"Uncle Xu, what's the matter with this bug? What are we going to do? Li Lei could only count on Old Man Xu.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Xu also looked confused and frightened and said, "I've never seen this kind of insect before!" I don't know what to do! ”

"Uncle Xu, you told Granny Jin that you would definitely go back at night, didn't you? If Granny Kim sees that we don't go back, will she bring someone to look for us? Fang Rui tried to stay calm.

"yes, yes, yes." Old man Xu nodded immediately, but immediately became worried again, "This insect is so powerful, what's the use of my mother-in-law when they come, it's not to die?" ”

"It's insects that are always afraid of fire!" Fang Rui said, taking out a lighter from his backpack, then taking out a towel and rolling it into a ball, asking, "Which of you has something like gasoline?" ”

"I, I have!" Sun Xiaoxiao raised his hand, but immediately wailed in frustration, "I ran too quickly just now, our backpacks are all at the entrance of the village!" ”

"Don't worry, I have... There is alcohol for barbecue. Ni Zhiwei only came to his senses from the news of Han Xinghua's death at this time, and handed over the alcohol he was carrying.

Fang Rui soaked the towel with alcohol, then lit the towel and threw it at the skeleton beetle outside the house.

With a bang, the skeleton beetle that was thrown by the burning towel also burst into sparks, and after a few crackling sounds, the charred skeleton beetle fell to the ground.

"Great, they're afraid of fire!" Ni Zhiwei was pleasantly surprised.

"But there are a lot of them, don't you know how they burn?" Fang Rui looked at the large number of skeleton beetles outside with white flowers, worried.

"If you can burn some, maybe these insects will be difficult to retreat after the burn?" Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't manage so much, and proposed to burn it again.

"Then there must be enough flammers!" Fang Rui had a headache, and Li Lei's backpacks fell at the entrance of the village. Now only himself, Ni Zhiwei and Old Man Xu's backpacks are on their bodies, where can they get enough ignitions?

What's even worse is that just after Fang Rui finished speaking, a thunderclap came from the originally gloomy sky, this... It's supposed to be raining? When fire meets water, isn't it even more unburnable? Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
