Chapter 65: How Many Foolish People 2
Since he found out, I couldn't pretend anymore, so I could only nod and respond: "See, is it the oldest?" "I didn't expect my white-haired old man to really be surnamed Bai.
"Yes, it's him, in fact, my village party secretary can only become because of Uncle Bai..."
In Zhang Hongsheng's next narrative, I just put myself in the position of a bystander to listen and didn't want to be nosy, after all, I have been severely criticized for following them today, but then Zhang Hongsheng's words were not finished, and I almost got up with the case! It's to the point of rage!
That Bai Ye is an elder-level figure in their village, and everyone in the village, including the surrounding villages and even the people in the town, is very scruple about this Bai Ye. In fact, if you want to say the reason, in the end, it is because the economic development here is backward, people's thinking can not keep up with the rapid development, and they are gradually left behind by society, and day after day their thinking stays in a relatively stupid state.
I believe in ghosts and gods, and this Bai Ye is the only 'gentleman' in a large radius so much that he is highly admired, it is said that in the early days, when he followed an old Taoist priest to wander here, the old Taoist priest died, and Bai Ye settled here.
Since the outbreak of the walking corpses, the big guys have not gathered together at the beginning, they are all hiding in their own homes and dare not go out, there are walking corpses everywhere in the village, and many people have been bitten to death in their own homes, and then Zhang Hongsheng took the lead out of the yard and gradually gathered the survivors in the village together.
According to Zhang Hongsheng, at the beginning, there were many more people than now, but later they gradually decreased due to one reason or another.
The problem is that after all of them got together, there was a family with two sons who contracted severe malaria, malaria is a disease that everyone knows, and it is actually the same thing to say that it is serious, and some relatively healthy people can take some antidiarrheal medicine, but if it is not serious, if it cannot be treated in time, malaria does kill people.
There is a private clinic in this village, but the only doctor there has been witnessed as early as the day of the riot, and has been gnawed down, there is no way, Zhang Hongsheng had to prepare to gather some people to go to the clinic to find medicine, but the number of walking corpses wandering in the village at that time was too much, at least for them at that time, the number was enough for them not to dare to go out.
Later, in desperation, Bai Ye, who had been silent with everyone, was suddenly remembered by people, and in their eyes, a master like Bai Ye, who has a means of penetrating the heavens and the earth, must be a piece of cake to cure malaria.
But the white master just kept shaking his head and said that these two children were targeted by their dead Lao Tzu and his mother, how could people fight with ghosts? What's more, it's still the family of the two children, and if you get too close, you will be entangled.
The villagers originally had something to say, but looking at Bai Ye's head and unfathomable appearance, they didn't dare to say more, for fear of offending the immortals who followed the two children.
So later, no one dared to live in the house of the two children, only Zhang Hongsheng's father Zhang Tiejun couldn't bear to let the two children die without anyone to take care of them, and others didn't care about him, so he simply went in to take care of the two children, but even though Zhang Tiejun used all his strength, the lives of the two children were still not saved, and after pulling blood for several days, finally one morning, when Zhang Tiesheng opened the door, he found that the two children were cold.
Just when everyone was a little sad about the death of those two children, and even some younger people privately began to wonder if Bai Ye was making it up, and the two children were clearly sick and dead, no one would have thought that Zhang Tiesheng, who had always been strong, would suddenly collapse.
The exact same illness as the two children, malaria.
At this moment, everyone's eyes when they looked at Bai Ye changed, and some young people who originally suspected him also secretly begged God to worship the Buddha for a long time, hoping that Bai Ye could forgive them for not knowing anything.
In their eyes, Zhang Tiejun's fall is equivalent to doing what Bai Ye said, in fact, I think their logic is quite ridiculous, the two children died of malaria, and other people are haunted by resentful ghosts if they are infected again? It's ridiculous!
After Zhang Tiejun fell, everyone didn't dare to approach him anymore, and left him in the room where the two children slept before and left him alone.
Sister-in-law Zhang was only allowed to go in once a day to bring him some food and water, but how could Zhang Tiesheng still have the strength to eat these things at that time?
To say that this sister-in-law Zhang is also quite ridiculous, after Zhang Tie fell ill, she was not only sad, but on the contrary, she was reluctant to deliver food every day, for fear of being contaminated with some bad luck. In the end, there was no way for Zhang Hongsheng to deliver it in person, and unfortunately, Zhang Tiesheng ran out of gas the next day.
After Bai Ye learned that Zhang Tiesheng was born, he ordered that it was best to bury the two children and Zhang Tiesheng together, in fact, the so-called empty burial is to dig a pit and not fill it, and throw all of them into the pit. (This is what I saw later in the woods)
Hearing this, Shen Feng asked a little strangely: "Those two children are supposed to be several days before Zhang Tie's death, where were the bodies placed during this period?" ”
Shen Feng's question is exactly what I want to ask, for so long in between, it stands to reason that these two children should have mutated into walking corpses, according to the villagers' fear of walking corpses at that time, how did they keep those two children?
Zhang Hongsheng responded to Shen Feng: "The corpse was placed in the sundries shed in the east, as soon as they died, my father fell ill, and people were panicked, who was in the mood to take care of the two children in that situation outside, plus Bai Ye decided that my father would not survive, so he had to wait until the time to bury the three of them together, so he had to leave them like that for several days." ”
"Wait, wait." I interrupted Zhang Hongsheng and asked strangely, "You mean that the two children didn't stand up during this period?" … Is it the way it is? ”
Zhang Hongsheng also looked at me strangely and nodded: "Yes, it hasn't changed." ”
"Your father too?" Shen Feng then asked.
"Yes, yes, the two kids who were thrown into that pit got up a few days before my dad."
"How long will it be?" I asked.
"About a month, the body was stored in the yard for about 20 days."
"Not rotten?"
"It's not rotten."
After a pause, Zhang Hongsheng seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned his eyes back to me: "That's right!" As soon as you said that, I remembered that there was something so important that I almost forgot to ask. ”
"You ask." I say.
"You come from outside, and when someone dies, do you get up immediately or will it take a long time to come back to life again?" When Zhang Hongsheng asked this question, all of us were thinking about the news he said just now, how could the two children and Zhang Tiesheng stand up after such a long time?
It took a while for Yang Yang to reply to him: "I will stand up within a few minutes of death, this just refers to being bitten to death by a walking corpse, the kind of death you mentioned, we have never encountered it." ”
"Will the corpses all rot?"
Yang Yang nodded: "It's not rotten." ”
Zhang Hongsheng didn't answer, everyone didn't answer again, it's all you look at me and I look at you, with an unknown expression on his face, we have always thought that what we see is everything, we thought that after running around outside for so long, we have thoroughly understood the current world after a few months of crawling in this world, but now, Zhang Hongsheng's words, a few questions, will crush our self-righteous all attacks.
We are far from knowing the current situation, and we can even say that we don't know anything about it now.
How did the virus spread in the first place? Did it really change so dramatically overnight? Or did it happen a long time ago, but it was covered up all the time, and that night it was just a huge breach of the port, which ended up making the situation extremely bad? Why did those two children and Zhang Tiesheng come back to life so long after they died? Why didn't they rot? Is it really like what Bai Ye said? This is completely out of my knowledge of the world of course.
I looked at Suotian, who was still staring at the fire, and asked, "Suotian, do you know what's going on?" ”
As soon as I asked, everyone's eyes were on Suoten, and everyone thought that Suotian might know something that we didn't know, which was strange, but it was, because everyone including me thought so.
Suo Tian didn't respond to my words, but looked at Zhang Hongsheng for a while before speaking: "What you should be concerned about now should be how to stop them from feeding your brother to the walking corpse for a while." ”
Zhang Hongsheng was slightly stunned, and his eyes locked the sky: "I can't stop it alone, their thoughts are hopeless, and it doesn't make sense." It has to be tough. ”
"It's none of our business." The lock-up should be fast.
"Yes, I agree that you will stay."
