Chapter 243: Mountain Village
"Xiaochen! Are you bastard playing with me again! It's been half an hour's walk, not to mention any villages, there is no end in sight to this forest! In the peaceful forest, there was a sudden burst of crisp female voice, which was very good, but the content was full of complaints. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The people who walked with her seemed to be very afraid of her, and they didn't dare to resist her words at all, just silently looked at the bushes in front of them, and kept using the spirit sword in their hands to cut out a road that could be passed by people.
"Why don't you speak!" Zhang Lu was very helpless, this mountain forest didn't see a trace of the meaning of the end at all, but the more the shrubs walked, the more lush they became, and from time to time a few poisonous snakes sprang out of the forest, although they were all caught by Yichen in the end, but this kid obviously wanted to disgust Zhang Lu, and even wanted to make a fire to roast snake meat several times.
Finally, Zhang Lu was angry, taking advantage of Yi Chen's immersion in the idea of roasting snake meat, and bit him in the face, leaving a row of tooth marks on his face, which made Yi Chen give up the idea of roasting snake meat.
But through this, Zhang Lu also discovered that Yi Chen is a person who usually likes to eat vegetables and the like, likes to read books very much, and even has a special habit for all kinds of game.
"How dare I speak! Didn't you say I'm a little brother? You, the eldest brother, are chirping and screaming here, and the patience of the younger brother is listening, what can you say? Yi Chen replied very angrily, and it seemed that he was stunned by Zhang Lu's mouth before.
There is indeed a mountain village ahead, but Yi Chen is also wondering, why this mountain forest feels farther away from the mountain village the more he walks, as if he is walking towards a mirror, there is a mountain village in the mirror, but if he goes towards that side, it will only make him farther and farther away from his destination.
Just when Yi Chen was thinking about whether to turn back the same way, Zhang Lu suddenly listened, and sniffed the air around him with his eyes closed, as if he had found something.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Didn't you ask about the faint stench?" Zhang Lu asked a little strangely.
"Yes but I didn't say it, this forest already smells a little, not to mention that there is a corpse over there!" Yi Chen was not shocked, replied lightly, and then pointed to the root of a big tree in the distance, "The smell is coming from over there, are you sure you want to go and see it?" ”
As he spoke, Yi Chen's face showed a strange expression, and Zhang Lu was confused.
Intuition told Zhang Lu not to try to explore once Yi Chen showed this kind of expression, because Zhang Lu found that this was when Yi Chen wanted to tease her, but this smell was related to dead corpses, which made Zhang Lu want to take a look.
In the end, reason did not prevail over curiosity!
Zhang Lu left Yi Chen, and then jumped near the big tree in an instant, the closer he got to the tree, the more he felt that the smell was very strong, and when he turned the trunk, he found that there was indeed a corpse over there.
However, the moment he saw the corpse, Zhang Lu immediately regretted it, not because the corpse was terrible, but mainly because the corpse was too disgusting.
Although the corpse was not human, it looked like a sheep, but the corpse was obviously extremely decomposed, and as Zhang Lu walked over, she found a group of meat worms almost the size of a thumb lying on the corpse.
The white flowers of those insects walked through the carcass of the sheep, and constantly made a numbing sound that made the scalp tingle, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable at the sight.
"These turned out to be maggots? But that's big enough! ”
Zhang Lu just wanted to leave, but found that Yi Chen had come behind her at some point, and was frowning at the sheep corpse lying on the ground.
"Let's go! This thing is really disgusting! Zhang Lu looked disgusted, and then pointed with his bare hand, and the cold cold air suddenly wrapped all the corpses of the whole sheep, and even those evil maggots were frozen into ice cubes.
Yi Chen saw that she hadn't looked carefully, and the girl was confused by the corpse, and suddenly hit her head in anger, and then hurriedly came to the frozen corpse to observe carefully, trying to see if she could find some clues.
This look really made him discover something.
First of all, there are obvious nicks on the sheep's hooves, according to the depth and shape of the nicks, it can be judged that this is a mark carved by artificiality, and importantly, there is a very small bell hidden in the position of the sheep's neck, although the bell is pressed under the neck by the sheep, making it difficult to see, but Yi Chen still found the rope that tied the bell.
In this way, it seems that this sheep must have been raised, not a wild sheep.
"Have you seen enough, why don't you hurry up!" Zhang Lu was very impatient, she always felt that she could ask about the smell of the sheep corpse and the wriggling of those maggots through the ice, even if it was impossible for them to move.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look first, this sheep is our guide out of the woodland, otherwise you want to stay here for as long as you want!" Yi Chen looked at her obliquely, then turned around and carefully circled around the sheep carcass several times, and then stopped, looking at the village in the distance through the paper crane.
Liang Jiu seemed to be dissatisfied with the crane's vision, Yichen stepped lightly on the ground, and then clicked on the branches of the trees a few times, and then the whole person directly crossed the top of the tree, came to the air, and observed into the distance with his own vision.
"Did you find anything?" As soon as Yi Chen came, Zhang Lu asked a little impatiently.
"Yes, that is, we were deceived by this scenery again, the village that the paper crane saw does exist, but it is projected to this side from a distance, so we can't go out of this wood!"
"So what are we going to do?" Zhang Lu was a little anxious.
"But it's okay, fortunately, this poor sheep has pointed us out a path, although the traces are very faint, but we can still tell from that direction!" Yi Chen pointed to the barely visible trail on the ground.
Zhang Lu looked at it and found that there were almost invisible footprints where he was pointing, and those footprints were obviously the sheep's, so Yi Chen's meaning was that he was ready to follow the sheep's footprints and try to go out.
Sure enough, as soon as Yi Chen finished speaking, he took Zhang Lu along the almost invisible footprint and went on the road again, but this time Yi Chen did not look slow, but raised the speed to the fastest and walked through the forest at a high speed.
The results of this speed were obvious, and in less than ten minutes, they had stopped on a trail that clearly had human footprints.
The path was not very wide, so it could barely accommodate two people walking side by side, and on both sides of the path, they found a large field, and there were many vegetables growing in the field, apparently someone was taking care of it.
And at the end of the field of vision, a village is quietly nestled in the mountains, and the smoke of cooking stoves keeps pouring from there.
