After searching inside and outside the house, but there was no shadow of Xiao Qi and Hei Feng anywhere, Yan Zhen pushed open the door and hit the flashlight into the yard, and at this time it was snowing outside again, and on the thin layer of snow, there were two new footprints. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The footprints of one person and one dog must have been left by Xiao Qi and Hei Feng, and the direction was to the backyard.

In the courtyard of this ordinary farmhouse, firewood is piled up in the front yard, vegetables are stored in the back yard, and there is a shed with a wooden board cover opposite the vegetable cellar, which may be a place to store coal.

The door of the shed was opened, and Yan Zhen called Xiao Qi a few times, but he didn't get a response, he felt that something was wrong.

Turning into the form of fine sand and walking into the wooden shed, there was indeed something in it that surprised Yan Zhen, Xiao Qi and Hei Feng were not in the shed, but there was a well in the middle of the ground!

He had never heard of anyone building a house on a well, except for Sadako, of course, and he stood on the edge of the well and looked down, and there was a bottomless darkness under the mouth of the well, which was about one meter in diameter.

The footprints of Xiao Qi and Hei Feng have reached this point, and there is no trace of returning, so there is a good chance that they have gone down to the bottom of the well.

He was worried that Xiao Qi would be in danger, so he immediately slid down the wall of the well, and he was at the end within a few meters, but there was no trace of Xiao Qi and Heifeng at the bottom of the well.

The flashlight swept over the wall of the well, revealing clear scratches on it, which should have been scratched by fingernails, and there were countless ways, as if they were just for crazy venting, because the traces were all concentrated below, and there was no sign of climbing up.

Whoever had been trapped here must have gone out by now, because Yan Zhen had found a hole in the bottom of the well in a place that was hidden by floating earth.

It was also dug from the bottom up, and someone should have dug through the bottom of the well to release the people trapped here.

Yan Zhen flowed into the hole in the ground, but fortunately, there was only one straight road below, and after walking for about two or three minutes, he suddenly heard a dog barking, and hurriedly accelerated his speed.

At the end of the passage was a square room, and when you approached it, you could smell the smell of old corpses, and Yan Zhen was no stranger to this smell now.

The floor of the house was full of rotting corpses, and due to the low temperature in autumn and winter in the north, the decay rate of corpses was slow, and they were underground, so the basic characteristics of the corpses could still be recognized, men, women and children.

"Ah Zhen, these are the villagers." Xiao Qi floated on the pile of corpses, holding the black wind in his arms.

"Why did you run out and don't tell me?" Yan Zhen didn't look at the corpses, and there was worry and anger in his tone.

"Someone knocked on the door after you left, I thought someone else would enter the village and open the door, but there was no one outside the door, and when I was about to go back to the house, someone in the backyard called your name, I was worried that something would happen to you, so I went down the well to look for you, and then I found this place." Xiao Qi floated back into the passage, she knew that she was fooled, and she also heard that Yan Zhen was angry, after all, she ran out without a sound, Yan Zhen must have been very worried if she didn't see her when she went back, so she didn't think about it, so the more she spoke, the weaker her voice became.

"Is there an exit from above?" Yan Zhen saw that Xiao Qi knew that he had made a mistake, and his face looked panicked, and he couldn't say anything, so he looked at the roof and asked.

"Yes, I open it?" Xiao Qi heard that Yan Zhen's tone softened, and immediately fought for the opportunity to perform.

Yan Zhen responded, Xiao Qi put down the black wind, rushed to the roof and waved the laser knife, and slashed four times before the entire door was unloaded.

This door is open on a cement pouring platform, about ten centimeters thick, made of pure iron, and welded with a welding torch, if there is no laser knife from Xiao Qi, I'm afraid Yan Zhen can't open it.

However, this reminded him that eighty percent of the people who built this house did not know that there were people who were good at making holes underground, of course, it is difficult to say whether they were human beings, and the possibility of being living people is even smaller.

Yan Zhen called them icemen because their bodies exuded cold like ice cubes.

"We may have thought wrong, the villagers were not captured by the icemen." Yan Zhen said after climbing out of the iron gate.

"But many of them have holes in the ground, and the gates are locked from the inside."

"The hole in the ground may have been opened by the villagers after they were killed, and the door was locked after the iceman entered the house."

"And why did they do that?"

"Have you noticed, the few houses we looked at, except for the one we chose, there was no food in the other houses."

"Hey, Lord Street Writer, your brain is curious, do you want to say that those white weirdos are digging holes to find food, and locking the door because they don't want the food to be taken away by outsiders?!"

"That's right."

"Ice-like body temperatures, blood that stops flowing, are you sure they need normal human food?"

Yan Zhen was silent, this is exactly what he hasn't figured out yet, the iceman can be said to be a dead man, and a dead man doesn't need a heat supply.

He was more interested in the cause of the villagers' deaths than in the recipes of the dead, and the cellar-like house was actually a pit for the corpses.

Could it be that there was a plague in the village? Otherwise, it is unlikely that villagers of different ages, young and old, will die in a short period of time.

And who built such a tight room to hoard corpses?

The iron gate was welded from the outside, indicating that someone was alive at the time, and left after sealing the body, and then the ice man appeared, digging the village underground like in a tunnel war.

Anyway, he woke up, and he didn't need much sleep a day, so since he found something strange in the village, it was better to track it down.

"You hear my name being called?"

"Well, I'm in a hurry, so I fell for it."

"Let's go, get to work!"

"What do you do?"

"Find all the food in the village and put it in our house."

Xiao Qiyi heard the spirit, Yan Zhen wanted to fish, if the icemen really needed food, they would definitely take the bait!

The work of carrying food even has a share of the black wind, Xiao Qi put the scattered food in a big bag for it to hold, and there are two rice bags on his back, both of which are ten catties and have not been opened.

The Iceman must have been in the village for some days, and the two and a dog had just filled a bed after collecting all the food.

The time was two o'clock in the second half of the night, Yan Zhen turned into fine sand and sneaked into the hole under the bed, as long as the iceman dared to come, he immediately blocked its retreat, there were Xiao Qi and Hei Feng on it, they attacked on both sides, and the iceman was used as a dumpling filling to wrap it.

They thought very well, but after a day passed, the iceman did not appear again, Xiao Qi felt that it was scared and did not dare to appear, but Yan Zhen thought that the iceman had a reason to get food, and it would definitely come again.

The snow outside the house was falling in a fluttering manner, and if they stayed in the village for too long, it would be troublesome if the snow covered the wheel prints of the armed forces, so Yan Zhen decided to wait another night at most.

If the iceman doesn't appear yet, then no matter if it's a human or a ghost, why he can call Yan Zhen's name, he has to give up the investigation.

At night, Yan Zhen sneaked into the cave again to guard, he slept during the day, and was very energetic at night, and when he stayed until more than ten o'clock, a cold air approached from the other side of the passage, Yan Zhen's spirit was lifted, and the fish finally took the bait.
