With the sound of a gunshot, there was a strange cry from the west, piercing and screaming, as if with a kind of magnetism, which made people's hearts tug.

"What's going on!" Sun Yan picked up the gun, because he had never touched this kind of thing at all, and in a moment of panic, the moment his index finger touched the trigger, he almost involuntarily pulled it down.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and saw clearly that the muzzle of his gun was pointed at the back of Abmat's head.

When Abmat heard the gunshot and the screams that followed, his face changed dramatically. He looked up in horror in the direction of the west, as if he could discern something in the dark night of the fire.

"What's that call?" Xiao asked with a big lip.

"Who knows, leave it alone!" Abmat glanced over his head and quickened his pace.

"But that shot just now obviously hit something!" Sun Yan asked.

Abmat did not reply, but moved forward.

Sun Yan frowned, feeling that this old man's words and deeds were extremely strange, as if he was hiding something from them, but he was afraid to speak.

Abmat's home is on the eastern side of the village. The house covers quite a large area, with a two-meter-high adobe wall surrounding the courtyard. But when I went in, the big guy was dumbfounded, the yard is quite big, but there are actually two flat rooms!

Abmat led the four of them into the house, the room was shabby, there was basically no better furniture, and on the window side of the inner room, there was a large kang nearly one meter high and two meters wide, and a straw mat was spread on the kang, which felt quite hard.

Seeing this kang, everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink. I thought I could sleep comfortably, but can this hard kang be a little more comfortable to lie on than lying on the ground? It's not enough to sleep in the car, it's a little squeezed, but at least the seat is soft.

Seeing several big men standing in front of the kang and twisting and pinching, Abmat took a stick and knocked them on the legs.

"What? I'm disgusted, let's make do with a night's sleep, and you'll leave tomorrow! He said and threw over four quilts. Several people put the quilt under the kang, and took out the jacket in the bag as a pillow, until they were comfortable, and then lay down side by side.

As soon as he lay down, Sun Yan's mind began to be chaotic, flashing all kinds of things that happened today like a marquee. As soon as he entered the village, he was surrounded and beaten by a group of children, and Xiao Wang suddenly received a hoe on his head, Qi Dongrui, the ** young master, finally made a big fight, and there was an inexplicable gunshot and scream just now.

Sun Yan was exhausted by too many things in a day, but the most unwilling thing was the matter of the guide, although Abmat had explained the situation in this village very clearly, and it was clear that it would not work to spend money to hire people, but he was holding back a lot of strength in his heart, and said that it would be like this, but he obviously didn't want to give up yet.

Tomorrow, the widows of the village will surely drive them out of the village as if they were to drive out the plague, and even Abumat will not be able to protect them, even if they are not reconciled.

Thinking about it, he didn't think of any way, but Xiao Da Lip next to him was already asleep, and he was snoring at the moment, and it was blowing in Sun Yan's ears. kicked him a few times, but it didn't stop, Sun Yan sat up impatiently, troughed the cake, and missed the best time to fall asleep. Turning his head to see that Qi Dongrui on the other end didn't even sleep, the wide mobile phone screen flashed with a dazzling white light, and when he saw Sun Yan sitting up, he looked up, and then lay down and played with himself.

Abmat was in the room outside, smoking a cigarette on a chaise longue. Sun Yan gently dragged the stool and sat down, seeing that the old man was thinking about something, and he was thinking about it.

"Village chief, old man." Sun Yan whispered.

Lying on a chair, Abmat turned to look at him and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?" ”

"Isn't it like I can't sleep, seeing that you haven't slept either, I want to come over and chat with you." Sun Yan said with a smile.

As soon as he heard that he wanted to chat, Abmat immediately frowned and said, "What is there to talk about, hurry up and go to sleep, I'm also sleepy." ”

"What are you sleepy, aren't you quite energetic, the old people don't sleep much, I don't think you can sleep until the second half of the night."

"Hey, hey." Abmat stared at Sun Yan with a smile on his face, "You young man is too funny, don't you want to sleep now?" ”

"Are you wondering about that gunshot?" Sun Yan ignored his words and opened his mouth.

Abmat was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became trance-like. Sun Yan saw that his expression was wrong, and thought that there must be a lot of articles in it, so he asked: "When I was sitting in the car before, I felt strange. As soon as the sun set, all the people in the village ran out and lit the fire with torches, and the light of the fire illuminated the whole village. When it got dark, the campfire fence covered the village like a net. Are you guarding against something? ”

Abmat's two nostrils suddenly widened, and he took a hard breath, Sun Yan saw his reaction, and immediately asked: "Are you guarding against some beast, maybe it's the wolf of Lop Nur you said before, is it really something?" ”

The old man took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Actually, it's not a wolf, we don't know what it is, but it did come out of Lop Nur and eat people." ”

Sun Yan was stunned: "What? Cannibalism?! ”

This voice raised an octave, which frightened Abmat so much that he almost bounced off the recliner, and seeing Sun Yan's incredible expression, he explained: "It's a cannibal, but it's just one, I guess it should be a beast similar to a tiger wolf." Moreover, the thing seemed to be afraid of light and fire, and only dared to come out at night, but during the day it was hidden, so we couldn't see what it looked like, so we had to think of such a way to prevent him from entering the village and attacking people. ”

"How long has this been?"

"Two months ago, it popped up. At that time, I slipped into the village and entered the village entrance A Bao and his family, but the family of four was gone. Later, on and off, several more families had accidents, but fortunately a month later, we figured out the weakness of this thing, and we remembered to use fire. ”

"You didn't report it to the government? Let the state send someone down to investigate, maybe some kind of robbers and gangsters, maybe they are doing evil. Sun Yan persuaded.

"Hey, young man, it's easy for you to say, how dare you. A few years ago, the whole village was still beautiful and seemed to make a lot of money, but in recent years, it has become a widow's village with only women and children. And now I'm harassed by this kind of ghost, I'm really afraid of shame when I say it. Abmat said with a sad face, "The key is that nothing happened to the other three villages, and if there is such a disaster in our village, God must be punishing us, so we can only bear it." ”

"You said this thing came out of Lop Nur?"

"yes." Abimat nodded.

Sun Yan continued to ask him: "The person who came out of Lop Nur is still in the village?" ”

Abumat was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"The village chief, the old man. Lop Nur is 50 kilometers away from your village, and you said that the man-eating thing came out of Lop Nur, and it must have followed the people who came out of it to your village. ”

"This is" Abmat actually stumbled, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Sun Yan waited for a while, and was just about to open his mouth to speak, when there was another gunshot outside.

The two of them were suddenly excited, and they didn't realize what was going on. I saw a little girl suddenly break in from the outside and talk to Abmat out of breath. Although Sun Yan couldn't understand a word, he could read the expression on the little girl's face: something happened.

When Abumat heard this, he also panicked, turned to Sun Yan and said, "You guys sleep well, I'll come when I go and see." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly paced out the door. Sun Yan was stunned in place, saying what to tell him to sleep well, how could he sleep at this time! He hurriedly went back to the back room and put on his coat, and when he saw that Qi Dongrui's kid also sat up, put on his shoes and said, "Go out and have a look." ”
