Chapter 294: The Blood Peasant's "Vegetable Garden" (2nd Update)
I then looked down, "Uncle Li can plant and harvest, but the other uncles have taken him away......" Judging by the typo, this child may not know many words, but from his expression, it seems that someone here has been infected, but someone else has taken it out and disposed of.
After that, the words on the papyrus began to become so blurry that they could no longer be called words, but some very scribbled graffiti, and it was difficult to distinguish what they were.
I thought I would find some useful clues, but I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated that the clues were interrupted.
Then I looked back at the corpses on the ground, and they were still lying there, and there were several children among them, and the contents of the papyrus were probably written by one of them.
I then searched the room again, and when I saw that there were no other clues available, I jumped out of the hole I had fallen into and left the house.
Then I went to the rest of the house to search, but I didn't find anything of value, some of the rooms were the same as the original one, and there were several corpses of blood-red plants in the room, while others were empty, not even furniture, as if the owner had already moved out.
Never finding any clues, I looked frustrated, and stood alone on the village path, lamenting and contemplating. "How can this be, this village does seem to be the origin of the blood farmer, but why is there no clue at all, could it be that it was really blown up by me?"
At this moment, the void who had not spoken suddenly spoke: "Do you think the murderer will stay at the scene of the crime after committing the crime?" ”
Being so little by him, I vaguely felt that the vain seemed to know something, and his words seemed to remind me intentionally or unintentionally.
"You're saying that this place is just the scene of the crime, not the murderer's location?" I hurriedly asked.
But the void still replied calmly: "I don't know the origin of this matter, but often what we see is not all true, and what we think is not all illusory, as for the truth of this matter, it depends on how you judge it." ”
As soon as I heard this, I thought quickly as if I had suddenly grasped some clue. At the same time, he kept looking around, and whispered in his mouth: "True and false...... Fiction and Reality ......"
Looking at the pile of buildings in front of me that I had destroyed and the remaining thatched huts next to me, it dawned on me: "Could it be that I have been guessing wrong all along?!" This village is indeed the first village where the signs of 'blood farmers' appeared, but the real blood farmers are not here, this is just the vegetable garden of the blood farmers! ”
I said to myself, my eyes widening in surprise. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a "click" was heard, and a thunderclap flashed, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.
"yes, why didn't I think of it before...... The people of this village seem to have been dead for a long time, and the rumors that I first told me that I had heard recently were obviously not in line with the situation here, and the people of this village were already dead, and it was impossible for the old man and his village not to know about it...... Could it be that their entire village is made up of blood farmers, trying to turn all these surrounding places into their vegetable gardens?! ”
I was talking to myself, and at the same time I thought of what the old man and the middle-aged woman had said to us before, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt a chill in my heart, and a cold sweat couldn't help but seep out of my forehead.
At this time, I secretly screamed that it was not good, Hao Yang and Li Zhisheng were still in their house, if they were really blood farmers, then this was the time for them to start!
Immediately, I could not help but say anything, hurriedly summoned the power of the void, pulled out my legs, and galloped towards the village before.
Due to the use of the power of the void, it would have taken me half an hour to travel, but it only took me a few minutes to arrive. At this time, the village was still the same as when I left, with low thatched houses beside the dimly lit paths, and dim candlelight shining from the rooms.
But at this time, I didn't feel the warmth in the candlelight at all, but felt a chill.
In the blink of an eye, I came to the old man's hut, and there was no movement in the house, and it was eerily quiet. Seeing this, I pushed the door open and walked in without saying a word.
The room was empty, the faint candlelight flickered on the table, and the foreboding in my heart grew stronger. With that in mind, I walked briskly towards the bedroom.
At the moment when I opened the bedroom door, I saw the old man and the middle-aged woman holding a cold and shining knife, standing in front of the window with their backs to me, while Hao Yang on the bed was still lying motionless, and Li Zhisheng seemed to be tired at this time, and he was already lying on the side of the bed and falling asleep, unaware of the danger behind him.
Seeing this, I hurriedly shouted: "Hey! What are you doing! With that, I stepped forward quickly, and before the old man and the middle-aged woman could react, I raised the spirit of the dragon, "Bang!" Phew! Two swords knocked off the knives in their hands.
Seeing that the knife in their hands fell to the ground, they turned their heads sharply. In the candlelight, two hideous faces appeared before my eyes, and from their mouths stretched out a slender, bright red vine with a bright red bud growing on the vine.
I saw the bud suddenly open and swoop down on me like an eyeless snake's head.
Because I had been prepared, when I saw the flower bud attacking, I raised my hand and directly cut off the two flower buds at the same time, and the flower bud fell to the ground.
When the old man and the middle-aged woman saw that the buds had been cut off, they hurriedly retreated and slammed into the wall behind them.
At this moment, the sound made by this series of movements woke up Li Zhisheng in his sleep. When he woke up, he looked back and saw that I was raising my sword violently to aim at the old man and the middle-aged woman, and he was a little confused for a while.
"Shen Xu, what's wrong with you?!" Li Zhisheng asked.
"These two people are blood farmers! I shouldn't have spared them in the first place! As I spoke, I grabbed my sword in my backhand and swept it horizontally towards the two men, trying to cut them off directly.
Unbeknownst to me, just as I was making a move, several bright red vines appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around my sword-holding arms and feet.
Seeing this, I wanted to tear the vine with the other one, but as soon as I moved, I was entangled by the vine again. At this moment, I couldn't move my hands and feet, and even if I had the power of the void, it was really difficult to exert it.
Seeing that I could no longer resist, the old man and the middle-aged woman in front of me immediately showed their fierce faces, they swallowed the branches and buds that I had cut off the buds, and slowly approached me with a wicked smile......
