Chapter 13: All Dead
Li Shan is a typical peasant man, with a strong body, a simple face, and his skin has become dark from long hours of labor, perhaps because he has a whole family on his shoulders, and he is already covered with dust and frost in his forties.
He carried a hunting bow and a pig-killing knife in his hand, and there were black blood stains on the knife.
Anxious with horror, frightened with despair, but under the despair there is a trace of madness at the end of the road, this is the impression that Li Shan gave to Li Yu after seeing Li Shan again after a few days.
When Li Yu appeared, the black dog Dacai suddenly stopped barking, and retreated to Li Yu's side, probably because Li Shan was carrying a pig-killing knife in his hand, and there was a ruthlessness in his body, Dacai stood a little closer to Li Yu, and bowed down to Li Shan's body, his eyes were full of vigilance.
Dogs are faithful protectors of the Lord.
Seeing Li Shan, Li Yu immediately asked, "Second uncle, have you seen my grandfather?" ”
"When you say that, I remember that I haven't seen it for several days," Li Shan replied stunned for a moment.
Hearing the answer, Li Yu's heart was gloomy, it seemed that his grandfather was really gone.
At this time, Li Yu fell into confusion, the town became a ghost domain, and his grandfather didn't know where to go, where did he go?
Li Shan reacted, looked at Li Yu again and said anxiously: "Li Yu, you shouldn't come back, there is an accident in the village, there are many monsters, you are still young, let's go, go as far as possible, go to the town, it is safe there, I have to go, the village can't stay"
Looking up at Li Shan, not knowing what expression to make, Li Yu muttered, "Second uncle, where can you go now?" The town is also full of monsters, lots of monsters ......"
"How so?" Li Shanmeng thought that only the village was like this.
Li Yu smiled bitterly and asked, "By the way, Second Uncle, what happened to you before?" ”
"I was woken up by the screams in the morning, and when I went out, I found that the whole village was in chaos, cattle and sheep were skewered, chickens and ducks were flying, and I turned around to find that my daughter-in-law and son had become man-eating monsters, and then I ran, ran out of the village, and did not run far, at that time, there were more than a dozen people running together, Li Ergou and Li Dadan, we stayed outside for a while, worried that the family would come back, and as a result, it turned out that there were almost no normal people alive in the whole village...... Woohoo......"
Speaking of this, Li Shan, a man as strong as a mountain, actually squatted on the ground and cried.
Looking at Li Shan's appearance, Li Yu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he hesitated for a moment and asked, "And then?" What happened when the village was burned to the ground? ”
After sobbing for a while, Li Shan raised his head with red eyes and said: "After we came back, we found that there were almost no living people in the whole village, there was no normal person, they had become man-eating monsters, we couldn't help it, and then, and then we set a fire to burn the village, and all of them were burned......"
Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't imagine how frightened and desperate they were to make up their minds to burn down the village, their ancestors had lived here for generations, and as a result, all the fires were gone.
With a move in his heart, Li Yu asked, "What about the others?" Why is there only one of you now? ”
"They're all dead, and I'm the only one left"
"Dead? How could they all be dead? ”
"A few were killed by monsters, and the rest, in desperation, they watched their families who became monsters die in the fire, their homes were gone, everything was gone, and then they all rushed into the fire to accompany their families, and they couldn't stop ......, I'm not afraid of death, it's just that my eldest daughter married into the town, I don't know what's going on, I want to go to him, I'm about to leave, and then I heard your voice."
Hearing Li Shan's answer, Li Yu couldn't imagine how desperate and tragic the picture of more than a dozen men rushing to the sea of fire without hesitation was in the face of their family members who turned into monsters and died in the sea of fire.
"Then what are your plans next, second uncle?" Silent for a moment, Li Yu asked.
"I'm going to the town to find my daughter, even if she becomes a monster, I have to see it with my own eyes before I am willing, otherwise I will not be blind" Li Shan wiped a handful of tears and looked in the direction of the town and said firmly.
"Let's go together, so we can take care of it," Li Yu said.
Grandpa is not here, his whereabouts are unknown, Li Yu has no need to stay in the village, he wants to go back to the town and find a way to get the money of Wang Youcai's family, if he is lucky not to die, he may finally find a way to find his grandfather, as for where to find it, how to find it, Li Yu has not thought about it for the time being.
"Well, let's go together," Li Shan nodded sullenly.
Looking at Li Shan, Li Yu said: "By the way, Second Uncle, I came back with Dashu, did you see him?" ”
"He, hey......, come with me, but be careful, there are still monsters in the village that have not yet died" Li Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly, motioning for Li Yu to follow.
Li Yu followed Li Shan, and Dacai did not leave Li Yu's side, vigilant from time to time.
Li Shan and the others burned the village so hard that most of the wooden buildings became white ground, and there were still unburned buildings emitting thick smoke and charcoal fires, and in every burned building you could vaguely see the corpses that had not been completely burned, some one or two, some five or six.
There was no danger, and the two of them and a dog came to the location of Li Dashu's house.
Li Dashu's house was also burned, there were two charred corpses in the building that was still burning, there was a jujube tree in front of his house, Li Dashu was tied to the jujube tree by rattan, looking at the home that had turned into ashes with red eyes and tears, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't speak, he wanted to rush into the charcoal burning home, but he was bound by rattan and couldn't.
"The first thing I found was him, as soon as he came back, he wanted to rush into the house that was still burning, I had no choice but to tie him up, otherwise he would be burned to death" Li Shan looked at Li Dashu and sighed, his eyes full of bitterness of sympathy.
Why didn't Li Shan want to go into the sea of fire to be with his family? But he still has his daughter in town, and he can't die yet, at least not until he sees his daughter.
"Big tree ......" came to the edge of the big tree, and Li Yu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Li Dashu's eyes were numb, and he looked at Li Yu and said in a hoarse voice: "Li Yu, my home is gone, my parents are gone, I have nothing, I have nothing......"
"Big tree, mourning, live well, living is the best reward for your uncle and aunt," Li Yu also said with red eyes.
"Woo......"
Li Dashu cried as soon as he whimpered, and then fainted with excessive sadness.
Li Shan is an adult, although he is sad in his heart, but he is stronger than Li Yu Li Dashu, he took a deep breath to calm down and said: "The village can't stay anymore, there are monsters, we can't collect the corpses of the villagers one by one, let's go, go to the town, I carry the big tree on my back, we leave this sad place, I can't see it, maybe it will be better"
As he spoke, Li Shan went over to cut off the rattan that bound Li Dashu, hung the hunting bow on his chest, and carried Li Dashu on his back.
Looking around this village, where he has lived for more than ten years, Li Yu doesn't know if he can come back after this trip.
Three people and one dog, in the ruins, set foot on the road to the town......
