Chapter 63: Unknown Creatures Appear
Zhuangxi Village, still the same house, late at night. The cold wind was blowing outside www.biquge.info the villagers fell into a deep sleep, and the village was as silent as death.
"Let's talk about it! What did you all find out today! "Compared to the cold wind outside, the house is much warmer. The seven of us sat in a circle on the big bed, our feet tucked into the quilt.
"The villagers said that those unknown creatures all came out late at night, and the villagers who could see these unknown creatures would get up in the middle of the night to release water, so they could see them!"
"The villagers said that those unknown creatures were extremely ruthless, and they were particularly accurate, and a family in the east of the village heard the screams of the cow in the middle of the night, and when the head of the household got up and went to the cowshed to see, the cow had been bitten and only some bone residue remained!"
"I asked a few households, but they didn't agree on the unidentified creatures, some said they walked on four legs, and some said that the creatures walked on two legs! But they all admit that the unknown creatures are running away very quickly......"
……
"Who?" I shouted out the door.
Although the cold wind howled outside, blowing the windows and door frames rattling; The sound was soft and subtle, but it was definitely something moving outside the house.
"Whoa!" This time, the sound was much clearer, and something was stepping on the firewood, making a noise.
"Bang!" I kicked open the window and jumped out. When I came outside, the thing had climbed over the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
"Boss, do you see clearly, what is it?" Ah Feng asked as he opened the door for me to come in.
"No, it's too fast, and the night is too dark, so I can't see it!" Go over and close the window, I said, shaking my head.
"Brother Wang, it's not good! This unknown creature has intelligence and can eavesdrop on other people's conversations, so it seems that it will be difficult to deal with them! The old Taoist priest said with a frown.
"This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that they can understand people's speech, and can distinguish which people are ordinary local villagers and which are outsiders!" On the first night, I was inexplicably targeted by an unknown creature, and I felt a little bitter.
"Let's sleep, everybody! Tomorrow, Ah Fu and I, as well as Daoist Hua Ren and Xiao Wusi will go into the mountains to search, and the three of you will organize the villagers to do a good job of defense, strengthen the repair of the livestock houses, and impose those on a firmer basis, and block those caves and everything for me! ”
"Brother Fang, which mountain are we going to search?" Ah Fu asked.
"Go East!" I said categorically.
"Why?" Several others asked in unison.
"Because, judging from the accounts of the villagers, these things all fled in the direction of the east of the village after they were discovered, and secondly, every time the livestock of the residents in the east of the village suffered first, and the loss in the east of the village was greater than in several other places! So I concluded that these unidentified creatures were hiding in the mountains on the east side of the village! ”
There is a trail in the east of the village that leads to the deep mountains, I used to know it when I was studying here, but it is in disrepair, and it is probably covered with wild grass for a long time!
Early the next morning, leaving Ajie and the three of them, Afu, the old Taoist, and his apprentice Xiao Wu and I headed for the mountains to the east.
"Brother Wang, you live in this area, do you know how deep this mountain is?" The old Taoist priest asked, pointing to the mountains to the east.
"I can't tell!" I shook my head, there were still mountains behind the mountains, and there was no interruption, and no one knew where the mountains ended.
"The mountains are deep and the forests are thick, and it is easy to hide demons! Brother Wang, it's not easy for you here! ”
......, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" I turned my head and glanced at the old Taoist priest and thought to myself. Can it be easy here? If I let you see the West Mountain or the big tomb of the copper coffin underground, I promise I won't scare you to death.
"Brother Fang, there's a family in front!" Ah Fu, who was opening the way in front, shouted in surprise.
It had been two hours since we set out from the village in the morning, and the four of us were a little tired.
"There is a house, there is smoke, there are rice fields under the house, and there are cold clothes outside the house! This is indeed a family! The old Taoist priest pinched his beard and nodded, "Let's go over and have a look, ask for a glass of water to drink, and then ask this family if they have any information about unknown creatures!"
With that, the old Taoist priest took the lead and walked towards the house. I had some doubts in my heart, I felt that this house was weird, but I couldn't say what was weird.
I shook my head with a wry smile and followed. I thought I must have been too nervous by that unknown creature last night, and now I'm nervous to see everything.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Anyone?" The old Taoist priest gave a look, and his apprentice Xiao Wu stepped forward and knocked on the door and asked.
"Who are you?" There was no response from inside the house, and just as we were at a loss, and we were about to give up our rest and continue to march into the mountains, a hoarse voice came from behind us and asked.
"Oh, grandmother, we are passing into the mountains, and we want to rest at your place!" Seeing that it was an old woman staggering over with a handful of firewood on her back, I quickly stepped forward to take her firewood and helped her carry it to the corner of the kitchen.
"You're such a good boy, huh? You're the Red Army, aren't you? "The old lady grabbed my arm and asked me and Afudao.
"Uh, no!" I glanced at the olive green camouflage uniform that Ah Fu and I were wearing, and I couldn't help but smile wryly and shake my head. I thought to myself that this old woman was too confused, and the Red Army had been a matter of how long it had been.
"It's not the Red Army! Then you must be the Eighth Route Army, right? The old woman's disappointed eyes suddenly lit up again, and she asked happily.
"Huh?" Ah Fu and I looked at each other.
"Only the Eighth Route Army will help us lonely old people, carry water and chop wood, repair houses and clean up, the Eighth Route Army is really a good person!" The old grandmother said excitedly.
"Ahem, that old woman, don't get excited! We are not the Eighth Route Army either! We just ......"
"You're Red Guards, aren't you?" The old lady interrupted me and asked.
"Uh, no... Yes, yes, I am a soldier of the people! "I wanted to deny it, but the old Taoist priest kept giving me a look, telling me not to dwell on these questions, and to quickly inquire about the matter, anyway, this is a confused old woman.
"People's soldiers? Is it the PLA? Is it Mao's *Lord* Table's soldiers? The old woman asked a little confused.
"Ah, yes! I am the People's Liberation Army! "But it's not the soldiers of the Mao *chairman*, this is really hard for me to answer, and now they are all united around the Party Central Committee with President Xi Jinping as the core.
"You nod ass!" Seeing that Ah Fu also nodded with me, I kicked over. Lao Tzu has military training in college, there are military theory classes, and it is a real military service, and you dare to pretend to be the People's Liberation Army even if you are a young man in society and idle all day long?!
