Chapter 150: Hunting Spirit Village—A Strange Old Friend
My first reaction was that the village was haunted, but looking at the bustling scene in front of me, I felt that it was very real, and it was definitely not a dream. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I didn't dare to go out, I just hid behind the door frame and looked out, after all, these people came out of thin air, and I didn't know what their origin was. But the thought of the partition in the room behind me, full of insect legs and dead centipedes, made my scalp tingle, and this dilemma was very tormenting.
Forget it, I'd better go out and have a look, it's not a way to stay like this, maybe these people are just normal villagers, maybe they can show me the way.
With this in mind, I walked slowly towards the courtyard gate, which had been closed at some point, and I pulled the latch on the door again, and when I walked to the road, I saw everyone walking unhurriedly, and their faces made a casual expression that did not seem to care about me as an outsider.
Suddenly, a shout rang out behind me: "Hey, mouse! Long time no see! ”
I looked back and saw a small man about my age standing under the eaves next door, waving in my direction.
Was he calling me?
I looked at him in frustration, and I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was very excited, and I was sure that he was indeed looking at me.
Seeing that I didn't react, the little man ran straight over, climbed over the low courtyard wall, and jumped in front of me at once.
Don't look at him not tall, but he is very agile, his thin arms are full of scars, and his eyes are constantly rolling, giving people the impression that he is very clever and likes to play small calculations.
The little man spoke with a strange accent and smiled at me: "Mouse, how many years have we not seen each other, and we still pretend not to know me without saying hello or talking?" ”
I looked at him blankly and said, "You...... Who is it? ”
The little man's face suddenly changed, and he said with a little anger: "We are good brothers who grew up wearing a pair of pants, and we are half a point to buy a popsicle, what are you pretending to be with me now?!" ”
I saw that he was a little anxious, so I pretended to have an epiphany expression, raised my hand and said, "Oh! You...... You are ......"
"Yes, I'm wood!"
"Yes, wood!" I said excitedly, although I said so, but I was still very puzzled in my heart, where is this, my mouse, he wood, then I have to gnaw him up?
Wood patted me on the shoulder and grinned, "Where have you been all these years?" The village has completely changed! ”
I didn't know how to answer for a while, and in a hurry, I hurriedly explained, "I...... I seem to have amnesia, I can't remember a lot of things, what the hell is this place? ”
Mu Tou's face sank when he heard this, and I couldn't help but feel a tightening heart, could it be that I said the wrong thing? But then I heard him say: "Let's go into the house and talk about it, there are many things that I can't explain clearly for a while!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged me into the room, and the wood looked out cautiously through the crack in the door, then locked the door and window, and led me to a table.
It was a small round handmade table, which must have been some years old, covered in stains and scratches, with a kerosene lamp on it, and a fruit bowl next to it, but the apples inside seemed to be rotten.
"Do you remember, this is a small table where we played together at two or five o'clock when we were young, I remember that your father made it for our family, at that time you were unlucky, and you could cry all night at home if you lost the picture." Wood looked down and stroked the tabletop.
I was confused, but since he said I was his brother, I would continue to act, and maybe I could get something out of his mouth.
I looked at the round table, pretended to be very sad and shook my head: "The impression is a little vague, I don't dare to think too deeply, my head hurts when I remember it!" ”
Mu slapped his thigh and smiled: "Many people are like you, in fact, they are escaping reality, you see that you have even changed the tone of your speech!" ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but get nervous, it seems that I can't say too much, otherwise sooner or later I will have to show my stuff.
Mu got up and walked to the back room, and said let me sit for a while, I waited for a while, and then I saw him come out with two cups of tea, and he handed it to me: "Try our tea, when you were a child, you came to our house every day to drink, saying that you can go without eating for the rest of your life with this thing." ”
I looked at him suspiciously, smelling the fragrance of this tea, not like ordinary tea, I gently blew open the floating leaves on it, took a small sip, and suddenly felt that the whole person was much more sober! This tea is really unusual, although it is very bitter, but after drinking it, people seem to immediately become energetic, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.
"You still like the taste." Wood said lightly, "Hey, things are not human, and only you are still the same!" ”
I remembered the previous topic and asked, "What the hell is this place, how can those people outside suddenly appear like ghosts?" ”
Mu took a sip of tea, and said: "I know you don't have amnesia, just go straight to the point, you disappeared inexplicably three years ago, and the people in the village looked for it, and I didn't see you for three days and three nights, and on the fourth day, there were strange things in the village, and people disappeared one after another, and later, all the people were gone, leaving only me and the butchers in the east of the village." ”
"You mean, I used to be from this village?"
Mu smiled, did not answer me, and continued: "Since then, this village has been abandoned, and those pig killers have left one after another, my parents are not there, and I have no money, so I have to live here alone, grow some vegetables in the back mountain, and usually see whose door is not closed, so I go in and have some things, and my life is so-so." ”
He sighed and continued: "I don't know where everyone went, but within a few months, a strange thing suddenly happened: every night, those inexplicable people would suddenly appear outside, I didn't know them at all, as if they were from another world, I began to think that they were haunted, and I didn't dare to go out for several days, but then I gradually got used to it, and I didn't see anything bad happening, so I dared to go out and see if they were human or ghost. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, but I still listened intently to what he said: "I talked to them, but those people ignored me and walked forward with their heads down. The weirdest thing is that these people are not afraid of pain, and they won't fight back if you beat them. Then I tried to follow a man, and found that he kept walking back and forth along a road, wandering aimlessly, and everyone else did the same, until dawn, night and night. ”
"NPCs!" I sighed.
"What do you mean by a critique race?" Wood wondered.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" I realized that Wood probably hadn't been exposed to computer games. Through the gap in the window, I saw the people outside, and suddenly I felt that they were very similar to the guardians in the ghost town, could this be another "ghost town"?
