Chapter 57: Too naïve
As soon as he finished shouting, the two of them dodged into the cave.
The space inside was about 100 square meters, with a few oil lamps hanging on the walls, and some people were scattered around the edge of the cave, all with sad and tired expressions on their faces, snuggling up to each other and staring blankly.
As soon as Li Yan's shout sounded, the attention of those people was immediately attracted by him, and they all turned their heads to look at him curiously.
Li Yan swept back and forth left and right in the cave, but did not find Lin Qian and Niu Geng.
At this moment, Guo Jin followed him into the cave, and as soon as he walked in, his fat face showed a burst of excitement, and he opened his throat and shouted: "Everyone come here, the people from the corpse gate are here!" ”
"The man who raised the corpse is here...", "It's finally here...", "We're saved..."
As soon as Guo Jin's words fell, all the people who were sitting with gloomy faces stood up at once, and they all surrounded Li Yan with a "whoosh".
"The master of the corpse gate, help us get rid of these zombies...", the master of the corpse gate, there are a lot of zombies dead in the village...", "The master of the corpse gate..."
There were loud voices one after another, and the chaotic scene was noisy like a vegetable market.
Li Yan was still thinking about where Lin Qian and Niu Geng went, when suddenly so many people rushed up, he was at a loss for what to do, and wanted to say something, but his throat was stuck, and he didn't know how to speak.
"Everyone is quiet, everyone is quiet~" Guo Jin shouted a few times.
The lungs of fat people are generally larger than ordinary people, and this burst of screams of tearing open throats is again in the cave, echoing, and the commotion of the crowd soon stopped.
When everyone was quiet, Guo Jin pointed to Li Yan beside him and said, "This is Li Yan, he was sent by the corpse raising sect to deal with the zombie incident this time, don't worry, with him, the matter will pass soon." ”
The people who came around didn't speak, but their eyes looked at Li Yan expectantly.
Li Yan looked at these people in front of him, and then glanced sideways at Guo Jin, who looked excited, he finally understood the reason why Guo Jin's attitude changed so much after knowing that he was a corpse keeper, and the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart before surfaced in his heart again.
This is a remote mountain village, the zombie tide has only passed for a day, none of them know what happened to Shijie outside, naively thinking that this is just a zombie incident, naively thinking that inviting a disciple of the corpse raising sect can solve all the predicaments in front of them, so that they can live that kind of paradise-like life again.
But it's clear that if you really think so, it's really naïve.
Just, what to say now.
Looking at those pairs of eager eyes, Li Yan knew very well in his heart what kind of consequences he would have if he told the truth.
Hope is shattered, the desire to survive drops sharply, and the catastrophe is devastating.
Li Yan was speechless for a while.
"Sanhuo~" Seeing that Li Yan didn't say anything, Guo Jin hurriedly bumped Li Yan with his elbow, "Say something..."
Li Yan came back to his senses and really wanted to say something, he clenched his fists and cleared his throat: "That..."
As soon as he spoke, there was a sudden silence around him, and everyone lowered their breath, even holding their breath.
The silence in the cave was a little scary, and I was afraid that I could hear clearly if a needle fell to the ground.
Li Yan could feel his heart beating "thump".
He took a deep breath, turned up the volume, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I already thought of a way when I entered the village just now, and there should be no mourning in the proximal time... Zombies are coming to bother you! ”
"Okay...", "Great...", "Finally saved..."
The crowd echoed in harmony again.
Li Yan's face trembled, these people may have stayed in the mountains for a long time, and that feeling was particularly awkward in the last days.
To put it bluntly, it feels like it's too easy to deceive.
Simplicity.
Seeing the renewed hope in the eyes of the villagers, Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he followed up and said: "Everyone go and rest first, I still have something to discuss with Guo Jin, you can rest assured, I will solve all this when I come." ”
After saying this, the crowd should be peaceful for a while, and then dispersed one after another to rest, it is estimated that they have been worried all the time, and they have not slept well.
After everyone dispersed, Li Yan turned around and asked Guo Jin with a trace of doubt: "Guo Jin, where are the two rescued people?" Why didn't I see it?"
"The two of them?" Hearing Li Yan ask, Guo Jin stretched out his fat right hand to block his forehead and looked around, looked around and suddenly said "Huh", and then said with a hint of doubt, "The front is still there, I guess I went out for a walk, I'll take you out to find it." ”
"Hmm." Li Yan nodded, then glanced at the villagers who fell beside the rock wall in twos and threes, and with an indescribable feeling in his heart, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
The entire cliff top is actually like a large natural garden, with shrubs and trees intertwined, and there is a natural cistern somewhere in the cave.
The cliff is surrounded by cliffs, and only the path can reach the top of the mountain, and according to Guo Jin, very early, the elders of the village had the foresight to start planting vegetation on the top of the cliff to stabilize the soil and water, as a place of refuge in times of war.
At this time, Guo Jin took Li Yan with him, as well as Xiao Shui, who had been jumping behind him, and the two of them had already circled around the entire cliff top, but unfortunately they didn't find the two people Guo Kou said.
Li Yan became a little worried for a while.
And the only place left that has not been searched is the grove where the former noble and the woman went in together.
Looking at the woods in front of him, Li Yan thought of the noble eyes and the salty pig hands. He couldn't help but turn his head sideways and asked, "Guo Jin, that woman, I look like she should be about ten years older than Gao Shang, right?" ”
"Isn't it~" Hearing Li Yan talk about this, Guo Jin said with a hint of disdain, "It's a shame to say, as soon as the old village chief left, his son gave him such a leg..."
"And a leg?" Li Yan heard that Guo Jin seemed to have something to say, and became even more confused.
"Actually, it's not that the village can't do this kind of thing, it's just that the old village chief just suffered something, and this son pounced on it, really..."
Li Yan didn't understand the meaning of the words too much, and suddenly had a feeling of being in a fog, and said with a frown: "What you said... What is this kind of thing? ”
