After pouring it all into my stomach, I gasped heavily.

Liu Xin looked at me worriedly, and then asked me how was it?

I shook my head and said it was fine. And Yan Yan said, "In this case, you can make your scales grow a little slower." ”

I didn't open the gauze to look at it, but I have already felt a little stiffness in the skin of my arm in the past few days, like a hard membrane covering the skin.

Our car was parked in front of a lonely five-story building.

When you look at the road ahead, you can already see a small village with houses.

Strictly told us that the house over there was where those people lived, but this scale is contagious and grows. As long as it sticks to the meat, it basically can't fall off intact.

Therefore, it is impossible for anyone who knows to go to that village.

And those who don't know can't come here. This building, which is a hotel, earlier, near the sea, there was a capsizing. The innkeeper was rescued by the people in the village at that time. That's why there is a place for outsiders to rest.

Mr. Yin has always had his eyes closed, and in the process, I have gone to see Mr. Yin's performance several times, but there is no abnormality.

It seems that he did not find anyone following either.

In the end, he told us that he would rest for the day here today and take us to the village tomorrow.

A few of us got out of the car. There were people of all ages, women and I was on crutches.

When you enter the store, you will see that on the first floor, there is nothing left, and there is an empty room, and there is a cash register in the far corner.

It's one of those old wooden counters.

A sleepy middle-aged man reclined on a stool.

He barely opened his eyes as soon as we entered the house.

Then Yan Yan walked over and said to the boss: "Five rooms." After finishing speaking, Yan Yan took out a few hundred yuan and put it on the table. The boss didn't even look at us closely, then put a key on the table and said, "The third floor, just five rooms." ”

The boss's voice was slightly broken. After saying that, he continued to sleep with his head down.

I walked behind Strict with a cane, and after a few people went up to the third floor, Strict assigned us the keys.

Liu Xin and I share a room, Lao Pei and him share a room, Lao Yang and Wang Laotou, Mr. Yin one, and Bai Wei one.

Then he told us harshly: "I came here a few years ago, and the boss's attitude is like this, because he doesn't care whether you go to the village or not." There is no food here, and there is food in the car, so you can go and get it later. Others, I am relieved, but only you Liu Hua, you must be cautious. Don't touch the water. Even if you want to drink water, you can only drink salt water with a very high salt content. ”

Lying on the bed in the room, Liu Xin leaned against my side, and then asked softly how my hands are now?

I shook my head and said it was okay, and then told her to get a good night's sleep. The rush in the past few days obviously made Liu Xin's face extremely tired.

I was standing at the window, looking out.

At the same time, there were shadows flickering back and forth under his eyes. When I looked down, I saw that the boss who had broken the sound just now was sitting at the door of the building with a broken bench, and then looked in a direction.

I looked over there, and there was ...... It's where we're going, the village.

After standing for a while, there was another sound of the car door opening downstairs. looked down and saw Bai Wei, and took out a large backpack in the car.

Soon, there was a knock at our door. After opening the door, Bai Wei gave me the food. Two packets of salt were also given.

At night, after Liu Xin fell asleep, I ran to the door of the harsh room.

After opening the door strictly, I entered the house, Lao Pei did not sleep, and the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing.

Harshly asked me if the scales on my hands were starting to grow?

I shook my head and said no, and then continued to ask if it would be dangerous if I went to the village. I don't want anyone else to follow me into danger. Yan Yan shook his head and said, "There is no danger, after entering, just find a corpse with this scale." ”

I asked, "There are no living people in there?" Yan Yan nodded and said: "There are no living people for a long time, this scaly disease will shorten people's lifespan, and the last time I left, almost all the people in the village were dead." But although the people here are physically disabled, they are very good in their hearts, and I stayed here for a while, except for the scale on your hand that has a seventh sense, the other corpses are in a normal state. After saying that, Yan Yan told me to rest early, and when I went to the village tomorrow, I would remove the scales from my arm, and I was done.

I went back to my room with a sigh of relief. Liu Xin was still sleeping, with tears on his face.

I couldn't sleep for a long time after lying down next to her, and at the same time the outside window kept pouring cold air in.

Liu Xin beside him obviously shivered.

I immediately got up to close the window and walked to the window with my cane.

When I closed the window, I noticed that there was still a faint yellow light downstairs.

In the blink of an eye, I saw a person walking into the hotel with his head bowed. However, there are no vehicles around the hotel.

Outsiders?

Looking down, a series of watermarks spread out from the door of the inn.

Silently thinking in his heart not to meddle, he turned around after closing the window, but his face changed slightly.

Because of my room door, I don't know when it opened.

Mr. Yin stood outside the door without saying a word.

I glanced at Liu Xin carefully, then walked up to Mr. Yin and asked him what was wrong?

Mr. Yin shook his head and frowned, "Liu Hua, you have to be careful, that thing on your body...... It's gone. ”

I covered my arm, then frowned and said, "Can you see where you went?" ”

Mr. Yin shook his head and said, "I can see it in you because he doesn't integrate into your body, it's in sync with your movements, but if he melts into someone's body, there's no way to do it." It should be impossible among a few of us. Don't go out later. Even if something happens, don't care. I'll come out as soon as there's any movement. ”

There was some uneasiness in my heart, but I didn't say anything all night. Early the next morning, Yan Yan came knocking on the door, and our group packed up our belongings and left the hotel.

Drive in the direction of the village. When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I realized that this place was deserted.

The houses are basically made of bricks and tiled roofs. And part of it, has already collapsed. Even if it was still there, it had cracked a few large openings in the wall.

But the size of the village is not small. Park next to a stone mill at the entrance of the village. We got out of the car and went into the village.

Mr. Yin asked Yan Yan what method he used to pluck the scales.

Yan Yan said: "The bones are roasted by fire, then smoked, and finally removed and then covered with ashes." ”

Mr. Yin smiled and said, "It seems that you haven't lost the old way." Yan frowned.

I walked between the two of them and played a round.

Mr. Yin closed his eyes for a moment, and then suddenly frowned and said, "There is no corpse." ”

Yan Yan's face changed slightly, and then he immediately slipped into a mud hut next to us.

After coming out, his face turned ugly, but he said, "Impossible, find another room." ”

But a few of us searched all the earthen houses, and by noon we still hadn't found anything, not only the corpses, but also the ashes.

Liu Xin became worried, I held her hand and said that it was okay, there was another way.

Mr. Yin's face was not good, and he couldn't see where to go, and said, "Could it be that someone else has come in the past few years and taken away the corpse here?" ”

Yan Yan shook his head, and then said, "You think you got it away?" The scales on these corpses are contagious and spread. A little knowledgeable people like you and me dare not touch it. So who can come here? ”

The village was able to see the shore, and I unconsciously remembered the footprints of the previous night with water. Then he immediately told the harshness.
