Chapter 440: Firewood House
Huskies are not very alert dogs, they may even wag their tails at thieves and beg for mercy, and are generally not a suitable animal for housekeeping.
But it could smell the smell of flesh from Xiaomen and Cai Ling--it was obviously the fishy smell of human flesh, this smell, I'm afraid this dog had only smelled it on zombies.
The dog kept growling, but he didn't dare to approach the two.
"Can you please stop it from barking? What the hell is it calling?? Can you still make people sleep? Shunqiang muttered dissatisfied.
Luo Xue was worried that everyone would "make a fuss" about the puppy, so she walked to the corner of the house with it.
The little door is in the eyes and listened to in the heart. In the dark, he keenly observed everyone's situation, remembering everyone's voice and characteristics. He has done this kind of thing before, and he is familiar with it.
His top priority is to deceive everyone's trust.
Only in this way will he be able to move freely and flexibly and thus achieve his goal: to find a suitable victim every day!!
"Maybe we smell blood, right? It's great that you have dogs, it's safe!! Xiaomen said.
In his heart, he couldn't wait to trick everyone into killing the dog as food!
Everyone hates Jiang Cai, but now that Jiang Cai is dead, everyone doesn't have too much regret.
Zheng Jieming's stomach growled, everyone hadn't eaten enough, and if they didn't sleep well now, they wouldn't have much energy to go out to find food tomorrow. He thought for a moment and urged everyone to hurry up and rest.
"Is it necessary to check on Jiang Cai's condition right now?" Geng asked Zheng Jieming directly.
Zheng Jieming thought about it, everyone is now very overdrawn in physical strength and energy, and their reaction and thinking ability are much weaker, this is the second half of the night, and it is dangerous to go out, so he gave up this idea.
But Zheng Jieming is still not very relieved about Xiaomen and Cai Ling, he always feels that something is wrong.
The small door is indeed impeccable. A dirty villager, humble and pitiful, he didn't see anything too big wrong, and Cai Ling didn't show anything particularly suspicious.
Zheng Jieming tried to interrogate them again, but without any substantive results, he locked the two in the firewood room.
"Wait until Jiang Cai's situation is confirmed tomorrow, and we can release you. So I'm wronged tonight. Zheng Jieming said to Xiaomen and threw him a quilt.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!! Thank you so much, you are my benefactors!! Xiaomen kowtowed and thanked him, almost squeezing out two tears, "I was so happy to finally see someone!" ”
Zheng Jieming thought about it, locked the firewood room from the outside, and then went to rest.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When everyone walked away, Xiaomen immediately turned his head and began to hurry up to brainwash Cai Ling.
"Stinky boy, you're okay. If this happens, take a good credit to you. You have to think about it! Running out of food is not something that can be solved in a day or two, a group of us are locals, we have already searched these villages, if there is food, who is so down? "I can tell you this, even if you don't meet us, if it takes a few more days, I can give you a ticket: your people will kill each other and eat human flesh like us." ”
Cai Ling didn't answer, just nodded dullly.
He didn't blame himself for anything in his heart
He was still blank.
But there was always an inner voice of his own that bewitched him: I want to eat meat, and that meat is delicious
"Tonight, I will do what I suggest them do, you cheer me up and cooperate with me! Do you hear me!! Xiaomen looked fierce and patted Cai Ling's head.
"Speak! Hold your hands up on your head and speak! ”
Cai Ling obediently put his hand on his head and agreed.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
But in the darkness, these words of the little door were not heard by others.
Outside the firewood room, a figure stood quietly.
The man's breathing and footsteps were soft, and he leaned motionless against the wall by the door, and no one noticed that it was up, let alone outside the wood room.
"Cannibalism? Cannibalism? ”
The man whispered to himself, but his voice was so soft that he could only hear it if he put his ear to his mouth.
It spoke in a very relaxed tone, even with an innocent smile.
A strange smile appeared on its lips at the same time.
The smile looked very bright, but at the same time very strange.
The man even drew a small circle in the sky with his left hand to express his mood at the time.
Then the man crept back to where he had slept, as if it had never been.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The next morning, everyone woke up early, and almost all of them were awakened hungry.
Wang Chengnan was reserved for some children's food, which was set aside by Zheng Jieming after specially informing everyone, and he could hold on for the last half a day. After today, Wang Chengnan will run out of food.
The despair in Fang Xinping's heart was stronger than anyone else's.
Even if adults can eat tree bark, Wang Chengnan can't
She even had some terrible thoughts in her head, which made her almost think about suicide again.
Some people have a bad stomach and even start to feel stomach pain.
Due to eating bark porridge, although everyone's stomach felt a little distended, no one could pass the bowel movement.
Zheng Jieming didn't bother to check the situation of Xiaomen and Cai Ling, so he first dragged Ming Qi outside the courtyard to check the situation of the bird trapping net outside the house.
Geng Zhi and Zhou Jitang walked to the firewood room and released the small door and Cai Ling, who had been closed all night.
"In a moment you take us to the place where yesterday's incident happened, and we must confirm the situation before we can trust you." Geng Zhi said.
Xiaomen nodded repeatedly. "It should be, it should be."
But I thought in my heart, why are these people so vigilant?? What is there to confirm the situation.
At this moment, Xiaomen heard everyone's cheers.
"Did you really catch a bird?!"
"That's great, isn't it our end of the day??"
"! Is this good news, bad news? Xiaomen thought to himself, and glanced back at Cai Ling vigilantly.
But the other party's expression was still sluggish.
Zheng Jieming and Ming Qi took the net and cautiously returned to the house, there were indeed a few birds fluttering inside, but there were only a handful.
a,
Two,
Three.
It's just a very small sparrow.
"Only three?? It's not enough to stuff your teeth!!! When everyone looked at the number carefully, regret and despair overshadowed the short-lived joy again.
"How to divide it is still a problem" Xue Ting whispered to his own people, he didn't want to be too public, he didn't want to be everyone's target.
Zheng Jieming obviously realized the seriousness of the problem now, three skinny sparrows, and none of them can eat!! Now there are dozens of people, what to do???
But he thought about it, and the top priority was to stabilize everyone's morale, and first twist off the sparrow's neck and hand it over to Zhuang Yi.
"Don't worry about so much for now, it's good to eat a little, let's go cook a bowl of soup first, let's get together and drink sparrow bark soup first, at least there is meat and oil stars, and you have to be more comfortable Ming Qi quickly get a few more nets, and others should also think of a way."
Luo Xue hugged the husky and didn't dare to show her face at all.
She heard what everyone had said about dogs last night, and knew that once they were back on the subject, they could become food.
Geng Zhi brought Xiaomen and Cai Ling out, and Zheng Jieming looked at them.
"Let's go first, you two will show us the way first, and let's go see the place where you encountered something yesterday!" Zheng Jieming said.
While several people were walking towards the house at the entrance of the village, Zheng Jieming asked, "How did you survive by yourself?" ”
"It's the same as you! Eat tree bark, birds, rats, and insects," said the little door, "I have always wanted to leave this village, but I can't go anywhere by myself, and I can't do anything if I don't meet you!" ”
"Why is your complexion so good?" Zheng Jieming observed the small door by the light of the day, and secretly wondered in his heart.
Led by the small door, everyone walked to a small house.
The house was gray, with the door hanging diagonally, and there were even couplets on the door.
Cai Ling looked at this room, he himself couldn't tell if he was in this house last night, but his heart suddenly became nervous.
"Do they want to kill people again!?"
He suddenly regained a little consciousness and began to take a closer look at who was following.
Zheng Jieming, Hua Feng, Zhou Jitang, Geng Zhi.
Cai Ling suddenly felt extremely conflicted in his heart.
Say? Or don't say?
Xiaomen glanced at Cai Ling with slanted eyes, and licked his tongue on his lips.
Cai Ling's heart twitched, and he recalled what Xiaomen said last night.
"You'd better follow us, follow us, and you'll survive this winter safely. But if you don't obey, when your people are also hungry and kill each other, you keep it as dry food. ”
Under extreme pressure, the brain's logical thinking often becomes extremely slow, and Cai Ling is like this.
There were indeed traces of battle in this room. Two corpses lay in the corner of the room.
Zheng Jieming stepped forward, lifted the corpse, and looked at the face--neither of them was Jiang Cai.
"Were you here yesterday? What about his corpse? ”
