Chapter 22: Danger
The child shivered as if she had been struck by lightning, and then as if she had been struck by lightning, white smoke rose and her skin quickly festered and blackened. It kept clutching its face, and pieces of bloody skin fell off. Runzi's father took the opportunity to push up with his hand, pulled out, and finally got out of danger.
As everyone knows, the child still refuses to give up, spitting out his black pus-draining tongue and wanting to taste the human taste. Although the picture in front of him was extremely terrifying, he couldn't hear the sound, and he saw the two of them injured and hiding. And I was the closest to the child, and he still had a pistol under him, and maybe many people would behave unexpectedly after being scared stupid, and I also made a move that Junko and Runko's father couldn't believe.
I jumped out, grabbed the pistol, stood up from the back of the child, pointed it at the head, and learned the posture of Runzi's father to shoot it, and instantly the tiger's mouth was numb, and the pistol fell off my hand. I thought this shot would subdue the child, but he didn't expect him to die, and he turned around and pounced on me, and his head was almost a skeleton, and the upper and lower rows of long fangs glowed red in the light.
I stumbled and fell backwards, watching the child slowly move towards me, stealing a chicken and not eating a handful of rice, I was so frightened that I was about to pee my pants, I felt that the child's figure was so tall, and I was extremely small. If there was a dung pit here, I wouldn't hesitate to jump into it, but will the heavens open their eyes again?
It happened so suddenly, I thought it would be worth it to see the faces of my loved ones before I died, but it was such a terrifying zombie that I could only close my eyes tightly and leave myself a little good memory.
I closed my eyes, my whole body tensed, and I didn't dare to come out, but after a long time, the whole world seemed to suddenly fall silent. I had the courage to touch my neck, and then my head and body, thinking that it didn't hurt or itch, could it be that I was already dead, or I had become a zombie, so I didn't feel any pain.
I opened my eyes tentatively, and at first glance, I saw Runzi and Runzi's father looking at me with a smile, and they still laughed at me at this time, I really have no conscience, if I hadn't reacted on the spot, you would have seen Lord Yama a long time ago. But there seemed to be something more in the corner of my eye, and my eyes slipped down, and in front of my open leg lay a corpse, the skull was just against my crotch, and there was a puddle of bubbling black water under the bones, and the smell was like stinky tofu that had been drying in the sun for a hundred years.
Runko's father came over to help me up in shock, patted me on the shoulder, picked up the gun and pinned it to my waist, Runzi also walked over, we looked at each other and smiled, understanding what was going on, and my whole body was relaxed.
After a night of tossing, we faced the warm sunshine, stretched out greatly, the cold sweat had dried, I had never had such a hearty experience.
At this time, a group of people came running from a distance, and it turned out to be police uncles in white clothes and green pants. I saw Runko's father playing dumb riddles with them for a long time, and I remembered that my ears couldn't hear at all. I pointed to Junko's ear, and he immediately understood what I meant, so he said a few words to his father, and they looked at me, and then Junko and I were taken to the village clinic by a young policeman.
After the diagnosis, it was found that there was no problem with my ears at all, which made me restless, thinking that I could not be cured, so I said something to comfort me. After a month, I almost entered the silent world, but luckily Junko would often come and take me out to play, but then my ears were inexplicably better, and I really couldn't figure it out.
What puzzled me the most was not only this one thing, but also why the zombie child bit Junko and her family, but not me, and later I realized that it was not my luck. This incident was determined by the police station to be an accident, and the process and details were not announced to the public, and the mysterious disappearance of the "third brother" became a fugitive secretly pursued by the police. After Runzi's father's explanation, my parents didn't worry too much about this matter, and this matter was considered over. Later, I learned that after the child's family members were bitten to death, they were all bloodless, thin into a piece of paper, and the body was moved out of the "ghost boat", because I could not find other relatives for the time being, and I was afraid that the corpse would change, so I had to burn it, and the place was in the crematorium 30 miles away from the village. Speaking of this crematorium, it is the only place in the township where people are legally burned, but families rarely send their ancestors there, which is roughly not as good as the traditional funeral concept. Many people think that this is a departure from the traditional custom of "entering the soil for peace", and it is a great disrespect to their family to die without a whole body, and basically there are ancestral graves, mountains and land, why should they be packed in a small box, how aggrieved, although the country has a policy, but it is only advocated, not mandatory, so the crematorium is inaccessible. For the police station, they have a lot to do with crematoriums, many of them are foreigners or died accidentally, in those days, the countryside was not closed at night, the human nature was pure, and the work of the police was similar to the current neighborhood committee, which was a trivial matter. I heard Runzi say that when his father was just discharged from the army, he was very uncomfortable, and he always wanted to make some achievements, but he didn't expect that the work was very leisurely, but one night after a month, he still has palpitations, and he will jump up in the middle of the night several times in his dreams, making Runko and his fucking insomnia commonplace. It was one night in September one year, the annual National Day was approaching, and it was the turn of Runzi's father and two other old policemen to be on duty. In order to maintain the safety during the National Day, as usual, it is necessary to inspect it, three rounds of patrols during the day and night, and the bicycle tires are broken several times. "I said Runzi Dad, it's almost time, go back on patrol." Lao Zhang learned the tone of the villagers and made jokes. "Comrade Lao Zhang, please be strict, my surname is Du Mingfeng, don't you always call me Runzi Daddy." "Okay, Comrade Du Feng, you can go on patrol, I've taken you there once during the day, you know how to walk!" Lao Zhang said with a smile. "Remember!" Father Runzi thought about it for a while, nodded slightly, and drew a map in his mind. Riding a bicycle, Runzi's father walked out of the police station and headed straight for the patrol route. Half an hour later, Runzi's father came to the bottom of a hill, saying that it was a hill, but it was actually a relatively large dirt bag, if it weren't for the fact that the mountain was covered with gravel outside the mountain, it would only take two or three minutes to ride around. Runzi's father pushed the car, while walking down the slope, while thinking about the days of the army: "Alas, I don't know how the comrades-in-arms are doing, Laipi's hair has grown, it is said that the earthwork is really unreliable, superstition is superstition, the second fat and the hygienist have a baby, and the old squad leader ...... "Walking and walking, Runzi's father has already gone downhill, suddenly, a figure appeared at a distance of about twenty meters, with his back to himself, and in a trance, he was swinging up and down in a jogging way, looking strange, big night, such a place, how can anyone come here to do activities. So he became alert, avoided startling the snake, simply parked his bicycle on the side of the road, and followed. What's even more strange is that the distance between the two has been kept at about twenty meters, no matter how fast and slow Runzi's father is, even if he stops, the distance remains the same.
