Volume_221.Two more corpses
Except for the discovery of the candle dragon's traces in the grove, other things went well, nothing else happened along the way, before dark, Nian En saw a village emerge, but strangely, it was overgrown with weeds, even the heavy snow could not completely cover it, and the tall wild grass was in the snow, covering those houses.
It looks like this place has been abandoned for a long, long time, not like other places, where humans settled in the sky and the city in the sky began to be deserted, but there is a feeling that this place was like this hundreds of years ago, because the houses there are all adobe houses, low and dilapidated, not like the buildings of human civilization later.
"It looks like we're going to have to settle down there tonight." Feng Yi looked around, and there was a little shelter from the wind and snow around this place, he said.
"Then here, as long as there is a place to sleep." Liu Ruyu replied.
Qi He and Nian En naturally have no opinion, they have all experienced this kind of wind and sleeping days before, and they are not exclusive to revisiting it, Feng Yi saw that everyone had no objection, and the dim sun not far away had already set, and he flew towards the silent ruined village, and finally landed outside the gate of an adobe house, the gate was wooden, and it was half loose when it was drooping, and it looked like it would fall at any time.
The village was a little desolate, the air was a little unusual, and Nyun smelled a stench.
Qi He's brows furrowed, his sense of smell naturally couldn't be worse than Nian'en, the stench seemed to come from all directions, the wind couldn't blow away, his eyes fell on the tattered door, and from the crack in the door, he could vaguely see what was placed inside.
Eun-hee covered his nose and asked with some disgust: "What kind of smell is this, it smells so bad, I'm about to vomit!" β
"It's the smell of rotting corpses." Although Feng Yi didn't like this smell very much, but it hadn't reached the point where Enxi and Ouyang Zi had been, he looked around, even if the smell of decay from the corpses was unpleasant, it couldn't be so strong in the winter, and the wind couldn't blow away, unless, there were a lot of corpses here.
Qi He walked to the door, and then stretched out his hand and gently pushed it, and sure enough, the door fell, and with a "squeak" sound, it was completely torn apart, lying on the ground and smashed into the snow in the yard, and in the middle of the yard, a pile of things also attracted everyone's attention, like straw, piled up very high.
And on top of the straw pile, it was covered with snow, and it looked like no one had touched it for a while.
Feng Yi walked over, and kicked in front of the pile of straw, and those straws fell in response to the sound and scattered in the yard, and then what emerged from the straw were some rotten bones, and the strong stench came to his face, which was much more disgusting than when he was outside just now, Eun Hee took two steps back, his eyes were full of repulsion.
"So many corpses?" Ouyang Zi pinched his nose and stared at the corpses with wide eyes, his voice unconsciously raised, and it seemed that he was also surprised.
"These corpses, it seems that they were all dismembered by others?" Qi He looked at the mutilated arm that had fallen, but instead leaned forward to check it for a while, and he found that the corpses were almost all torn apart, and they looked miserable.
Nian En covered her nose, although she hated the smell too, but she felt that everything in front of her was so familiar, it seemed that she had seen it somewhere? She racked her brains to think about it, and finally, she remembered that once she and the little white fox had arrived at a place called Yiyang Town, which was full of corpses, but she had no clue at that time except for shock and horror, and she couldn't find the murderer at all, and finally gradually forgot about it.
The picture here is very similar to that time!
"Let's look elsewhere!" Nian En said immediately, and she ran out of the yard without looking back, and then prepared to go to the other houses to have a look.
Seeing Nian En turn around and run away, Qi He followed as soon as possible, there is something wrong with this place, there are so many corpses, someone must have poisoned him, if Nian En touches the murderer, it will be trouble!
The others also reacted and followed Nian En to leave the courtyard first.
As expected, Nian En found several courtyards, and when he opened the door, there were corpses inside, there were so many corpses in this small abandoned village?
I'm afraid it's impossible for all the people of a village to have so many corpses combined!
"What's going on?" Ouyang Zi was already dumbfounded, he had never seen such a heart-wrenching murder scene, most of those corpses had already revealed their white bones, it should have been a while, and there were a few new corpses, which had just begun to decompose.
"This, I've seen this before, and it's been like this in other places!" Nian En stammered a little, could it be that someone specializes in killing people?
"See? Where is it? Ouyang Zi asked in surprise.
Nian En told everyone about the incident three years ago, when she had met Silk Lin for the first time in that town, and a huge gluttonous eating the corpses.
This is strange, after listening to Nian'en's words, everyone fell silent, and a gloomy feeling emerged from all directions, maybe what Nian'en said just now was too weird, so there was a little change in psychology, and the village that originally felt empty suddenly felt as if there were people everywhere.
"Shall we ...... Are you still here tonight? Nian En looked at the sky that was getting darker and darker, the sky was already getting dark fast in winter, but in half an hour, it was almost dark.
If they don't spend the night here, it means that Feng Yi has to carry them alone for a night, which is too hard, and sleeping in mid-air, maybe someone will roll down and fall into a pulp.
"I don't want to spend the night here!" Eun-hee said in disgust, asking her to sniff the disgusting smell and sleep for a night, it is better to hurry, and she doesn't need to walk anyway.
"It's not going to work for a night......" Nian En retorted, Feng Yi was the hardest one along the way, Eun Xi was not distressed, she was still distressed.
"But......" Eun Xi wanted to continue, but as soon as she saw Ouyang Zi's eyes, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth again, and now she couldn't go against Nian Eun, otherwise the matter would be abandoned halfway.
Ouyang Zi echoed Nian'en: "Okay, I think so, this has been a day's journey, if it continues like this, Feng Yi will be too hard, there are corpses here, and it seems that the shortest time has begun to decompose, the murderer should not be here anymore, rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning!" β
Eun Xi stomped his feet a little reluctantly and did not speak again, and Ouyang Zi's proposal naturally no one else objected.
Since they decided to spend the night here, they naturally wanted to find a clean place, and they couldn't live with a pile of corpses, and the group searched for a long time before finding a small thatched hut at the end of the village, and immediately decided to spend the night in it, because there was nothing in the small thatched hut, which was very simple, but it was much more comfortable than the corpses outside.
After cleaning up briefly, they slept on their own bunks, only Qi He stood there, as if looking at the small hut, Nian En asked curiously, "What's wrong?" β
"Don't you think this place is clean?" Qi He asked rhetorically, from the moment he entered this small thatched hut, he felt that this thatched hut was simple and simple, but it was strangely clean, a village that had been abandoned for a long time, and I don't know when many corpses were piled up, why there was a house, but it was so clean, they almost didn't clean it just now.
Speaking of this, Nian En finally realized that it was indeed clean, much cleaner than other places, and there was very little dust in it.
"Yes, it's as clean as if someone lives hereβ" Ouyang Zi said, and stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, a cold wind blew in through the crack in the door that was not tightly closed, making a slight noise as if someone was gently pushing the door.
Although Feng Yi and Liu Ruyu are there, Ouyang Zi can also spell, and Eun Xi has also recovered his memory, and the ghost rope should still be useful, but ...... This eerie atmosphere already makes people feel nervous.
Nian En took a step back, and involuntarily grabbed the corner of Qi He's clothes, she felt that the gust of wind just now was so terrifying, Qi He looked down at the little hand, grabbing the corner of his clothes with a nervous look, he suddenly had an urge to hold her, but in the end he didn't do that, just stretched out his arm to block her back: "There seems to be someone outside." β
One sentence made Nian'en's heartstrings tense, and Liu Ruyu, who had already been lying down, stood up silently.
