Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 80 Hu Jiachong (3)

Only the hall and the three main rooms on both sides collapsed, and the wings and backyards on the east and west sides did not affect it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I came to my senses, stood in the doorway, and looked around, and could see that there were several houses in the vicinity surrounded by trees and trees.

This is a small mountain village halfway up the mountainside, and it is obvious that the mountain road is covered with firewood and grass, and it is clear that it has long been deserted and deserted. But I obviously saw so many dozen or twenty men, women and children at night, and I also watched an authentic flower drum opera "Bang Hai Plays Jin Toad". My heart sank, and my surroundings became strange, and even the sunlight above my head took on a strange color, and even though it was nearly noon, I could still feel a suppressed resentment flowing in this courtyard.

I was suspicious, thought for a moment, and went back to the courtyard with the courage to do so.

The courtyard is the one you see at night, but the landscape is very different. The earthen walls are green and tiled with walls, the shrubs are overgrown with weeds, and even the steps have a lot of weeds, and there is a stage in the yard, but it has long since collapsed, and it is overgrown with wild grass and shrubs.

I didn't dare to slack off, so I quickly restrained my mood, raised the spirit of the twelve, released my consciousness, and was careful to be on guard.

Suddenly remembering that he had eaten rice in the kitchen in the backyard, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and according to his memory, he bypassed the collapsed hall and entered the backyard.

The backyard is even more barren, with hares and mountain rats roaming the grass. I found the smelly kitchen, and the tables and chairs were still there, but they were dusty, covered with footprints of plum blossoms, and piles of dried bones of animals of unknown origin. One of them was recently piled on top, and the small amount of stinky meat was littered with flies and maggots.

Thinking that I had eaten here last night (maybe the night before), I suddenly turned my stomach upside down, squatted down with shortness of breath, and vomited profusely, sweating profusely, tears and salivation. Because there was no goods in my stomach, I couldn't vomit anything, and I vomited bitter bile water all over the ground, and it took a while to stop.

I glanced at the large iron pot with the lid covered with ash and rust, and did not dare to open it again, and I turned and ran out of the kitchen in horror, fearing that if I was too late, I would vomit to death in the house.

I couldn't believe what had happened the night before, and I strongly suspected that I had a nightmare, but the strange yard, the dirty clothes and pants on my body, the visible scars on my body and the newly collapsed house, all told me unmistakably that it was not a dream, but a real thing.

Once again, I had the same fear as I did when I encountered a supernatural event three years ago, even though I was no longer the same as I was three years ago.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost noon, the sun was hanging high overhead, hot, shining on my body there was a burning sensation, but I just felt cold. I took out the talismans from my trouser pocket, and I couldn't help but laugh and cry. The rain and sweat have already soaked the runes on the thin yellow paper into a ball, like a big flower face in a singing opera. And the matchbox in the pocket also fell apart, and the medicine skin and medicine head were damp, and they were all wiped off, and there was no spark at all.

I was so helpless that I had to spread out the scattered matchboxes, matchsticks, and talismans on the stone slab to expose them to the sun, but fortunately, they were dried in the sun after a while.

Finally lit a match, after turning those few talismans into ashes, I felt a lot better, and my courage seemed to return to my body, I knew that this was actually a psychological effect, with my current strength, and the idle ghosts would not dare to provoke me at all, not so much that I was afraid of them, they should be more afraid and jealous of me. All this happened in an attempt to lead me into a desperate situation, to trap me, preferably to death, because they did not dare to face me and confront me.

Thinking about this, I immediately became energetic and high-spirited. Maybe it was because I was too hungry, maybe I had taken the medicine given to me by Uncle Liang before, or maybe it was both, although I don't know how long I hadn't eaten, I didn't feel hungry when my stomach was empty, on the contrary, I was in good spirits.

At this point, it is useless to think too much. Whether the fat man is missing, or the drunkard is in a hurry, it is not something I can control. Now I just want to find out what happened, so that I can find the demon fox, sing a song on the last ridge, and take one step at a time.

Thinking about it like this, I relaxed and became immediately interested in this barren little mountain village. I remember that the demon fox once said that this place is called Hu Jiachong, and I decided to go around the courtyard and village first, maybe I can find the source of this resentment and find out the reason for this Hu Jiachong's desolation.

At noon, the yang energy is excessive, not only do the evil people dare not come out, but even the scorpion centipede and those yin-loving poisons hide in the dark and will not show their heads, but there is nothing to fear.

I turned back to the front yard, bypassed the collapsed houses, and went all the way along the cloister, there were horizontal halls and side rooms, large and small, and there were more than a dozen rooms, this was a big courtyard in the mountains, and the original owner must have been a rich man. The furniture in the house also confirms this, carved teeth, beds, tables and chairs, cabinets and wardrobes, all available, ordinary small landlords can not afford to buy. It's just that the walls of the house with big eyes and small holes are crooked, and most of the doors are open, as if the owner is at home or nearby. All the belongings are dilapidated and decayed, and many of them have simply become the nests of wild animals, and there are tattered clothes everywhere, and it seems that they have been barren for ten or twenty years, and they have been eaten by insects and rats, washed by rain, soaked with damp mold, and it is good to have a shelf left.

From the east chamber to the west chamber, I looked all the way, and occasionally rummaged through, but except for some dilapidated jars and moldy needles and threads, I didn't find anything of value. All the houses were cold and damp, mildewy, and full of mosquitoes. This situation made me more and more frightened.

Although most of the things in the house have rotted into garbage, it can be seen that this yard is full of living utensils from the inside out, especially in the kitchen, there is no shortage of pots and pans, and it is still placed in an orderly manner, not at all like a move, but like a big family going out in a hurry, there is no time to clean up, how can this be?

I exited the yard and walked towards the neighboring courtyard. There are only three dilapidated tiled houses in this small courtyard, and the low pigsty and cattle pens on both sides were once thatched, but now they have all collapsed, and the same is true of the house, which has all the utensils for home life.

Without exception, the house was the same as the compound, cold and damp, full of mosquitoes. It was approaching noon, and the yang energy was exuberant, and I didn't feel anything special except for a vague resentment. I retreated to the gate of the large courtyard and sat in the shade of the tree, looking around, feeling a little dazed. The desolation of this village is very strange, and I can't figure out what caused the villagers to leave without even packing up their belongings, and I don't know where the resentment came from.

This sitting is terrible, maybe this lap around consumes a lot of physical strength, plus the mind is focused on nothing else, it seems that there is no feeling, this next rest and relaxation, the hunger suddenly hits, so strong that I sweat all over my body, my feet and hands are weak, and my mouth is very thirsty. After all, according to the shortest estimate, I haven't eaten for more than 20 hours a day and a night, not to mention that I have encountered so many things while climbing mountains and forests, and I am also injured and in a coma, and the consumption is not small. The excitement just now must be the effect of Uncle Liang's oral wound medicine. I once heard Zeng Xianzi and Mr. Lao Shu chat with a few of them said that in the past, there was a thief named Red Rooster in our neighboring village, he had a special ability, he would "rob water", he was a master of treating bruises, no matter how injured he was, as long as he drank a bowl of water, he could walk like a good person, and his strength was greater than usual, and it didn't hurt to go without eating for a few days and nights. It is estimated that it is even greater than Uncle Liang's ability, but unfortunately it was plotted that there was no successor later. Uncle Liang's master is a "king of thieves", and the ability of the red rooster is on par, of course, the wound medicine he prepared will have a magical effect, I don't feel hungry for a while, and it is completely possible to be energetic.

No, we have to find food and water quickly, solve the urgent need, and then hurry down the mountain.

I wiped the sweat from my head, tried to control my desires, beat my spirits, and walked towards the ravine outside the village.

In the mountainous areas of our area, where there are ravines, there will be water in nine out of ten, and many of them have small streams, and I dare not say anything else, crabs must be indispensable, and it is no problem to satisfy hunger temporarily, but now it is the time when the green and yellow are not connected, and most of the wild vegetables have gone to the forest (meaning that they have bloomed and grown old) and the wild fruits are not ripe, and there are no crops planted here, which is the only solution to hunger I want to get.
