Cui Fatzi suddenly howled, startling everyone.

Those villagers who originally stayed in the ancestral hall subconsciously began to retreat, not daring to approach Cui Fatzi.

Tang Yun's eyes suddenly froze, and he had already found that a longitudinal scar appeared on Cui Fatzi's arm. This is where the monster caught the monster in the mouth of the fat man, and now black blood is flowing from the wound.

"Cover his mouth and don't let him make a sound!"

The village chief anxiously tore off a piece of cloth, gathered it into a cloth ball, and stuffed it into Cui Fatzi's mouth. Then he turned his head again and shouted, "Take out the wine!" ”

"Can this wound be cured?" Tang Yun asked in a deep voice.

The village chief's hands trembled a little, and he spilled wine on Cui Fatzi's arm. Cui Fatzi was in pain, trembling all over, and was hurriedly held down by the people next to him.

"My lord, if you are injured by that monster, you must remove the poison from the wound. Fortunately, this adult is still quite conscious, as long as he keeps it, he will be fine. ”

The village chief was calm, he put the wine aside, and took out a new cloth to remove all the blood.

"This is the antidote prepared by the old decay himself, although it can't be completely removed, but it can still suppress this corpse poison." The village chief took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom.

Unscrewed the medicine bottle, and a jet-black liquid flowed out of it, pouring it on Cui Fatzi's arm, seeing Tang Yun looking at him, he hurriedly said: "The old man used to practice medicine in the county and knew some pharmacology. There are some precious medicinal materials in the ancestral hall, and I have come to take them now. ”

"You just said that he was poisoned?"

"It's indeed corpse poison. When I practiced medicine, I also saw many people suffering from this disease. Back then, in the mountains behind us, there were often grave robbers, and many of them would come to me when they were infected with corpse poison. Hehe, at that time, it was also to make ends meet, and I went to the hospital to treat many tomb robbers, so I studied and figured out such a recipe by myself. The village chief's tone was a little embarrassed.

"You say...... This is caused by corpses. ”

The village chief's hand trembled, he slowly spilled all the medicinal juice, and then asked someone to take off a piece of cloth and bandage Cui Fatman's arm.

Cui Fatzi's face is pale now, but his breathing has become much steady, and he still has an effect on this medicine.

The village chief put away the medicine, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, a few young men in our village, and a few public servants in the county government took advantage of those monsters not paying attention and secretly escaped. I'm going to go to the capital to ask for help, but the entrance to the village has been blocked by those monsters, and once I get out, I will definitely be discovered by them. ”

"But one day, the path can lead from the back mountain to the official road outside. This was the road that the people of the village used to prevent banditry during the previous dynasty. ”

"We walked down that road all the way back to the hill, and it was early in the morning. Our movements were already very light, but who knew that when we fell down the back mountain, we could faintly hear a strange roar coming from the back mountain. ”

Tang Yun frowned and asked, "Could it be some kind of beast?" ”

The village chief shook his head: "This won't happen, there were many hunters in the village at the beginning, and the beasts on the entire back mountain were almost wiped out." Later, it was changed to farming. At that time, we thought that there were too many people, and even if there was some wild beast, we would just hide from it. ”

"If you want to walk the path behind the mountain, you have to go through a mass grave. We were already frightened birds, and we were terrified by any disturbance. ”

"That mass grave...... Usually when it passes, it will feel eerie. ”

"Some people say that you should bypass the mass graves. However, at that time, everyone was very anxious, and if they spared the mass grave, they didn't know how many mountain roads they would have to walk. Anyway, they are all dead, so we have the courage to pass. ”

"Who knows......"

"As we went, we suddenly saw many coffins open. A young man from a village came to check and ......"

"In that coffin, it's empty!"

Because many of these coffins are displaced people who died here, helpless, and no one came to bury them. Over time, those who have money buy a coffin for themselves before they die, and those who don't have money are rolled up in a broken straw mat and thrown there. But after all, there should be a corpse.

We were curious, so we searched for several more coffins, but we didn't find the body. But all of us panicked and thought about getting out of here.

We climbed over the hill.

was about to follow the mountain road immediately, but at this time, someone suddenly noticed that at the end of the mountain road, a group of people appeared.

Tang Yun raised his eyebrows: "People? ”

"Dead man!"

There was still a hint of fear in the village chief's eyes: "Those are all corpses in mass graves, and I still have some impressions of a few of them." Some of them had been buried for a long time, and they even crawled out of the coffin. ”

"They spotted us and rushed at us. We were also terrified and fled back in a panic. Along the way, many people were injured. When I was treating their wounds, I saw that some of these people's wounds looked like corpse poison. I tried to treat it with anti-corpse poison, but I didn't expect it to really suppress the toxicity. ”

"So I judge that those people outside are probably also because of this corpse poison. has become this appearance of no one and no ghost! ”

Tang Yun said: "Since the corpse poison has spread from the mass grave...... Did that happen before? ”

The village chief thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, although there were many rumors about mass graves in the past, they were all ignorant and rumored by the villagers, and it was not enough to believe them. ”

Then he thought about it again, and suddenly slapped his face: "There is really one thing, the night before the monster appeared, a person died in the village. ”

"Who?"

"She is a widow, but I have heard that she is unruly, and she is also criticized in the village. In the end, I should have been unable to bear the pressure and committed suicide. Although she said that she died strangely, she was still a member of our village after all. We found a broken straw mat, rolled her body up, and sent her to a mass grave. ”

Tang Yun nodded, the village chief told him a lot of clues.

The most important of these is the source of everything.

Since it was the corpse poison brought down by the dead in the mass grave, it would be good to unravel the source.

Although Tang Yun thought so, he still felt a suppressed feeling in his heart. He always felt that there might be another mystery behind this.

"Huh? Brother Tang, what's wrong with me? Cui Fatzi slowly opened his somewhat blurred eyes, his eyes were still bloodshot.

Tang Yun said: "You have a good rest, wait until the reinforcements arrive, and let them send you to the hospital." ”

It's late at night outside.

The village chief blows out the candles, and the light emitted attracts the attention of the monsters outside. Several of them were exhausted, except for those who had stayed on guard for the night, and the others fell asleep for the time being.

It didn't take long for Tang Yun to open his eyes suddenly.

There was quite a bit of the sound of horses' hooves outside, and a group of heavy footsteps.

Reinforcements are coming!
