Chapter 36: The Village of Corpses
Those figures, straight and stiff outside the door, the shadows reflected on the yellowed papier-mΓ’chΓ© doors and windows, like ghosts, for a while, the four people in the room paused for a moment, all held their breath, except for the sound of wind and rain, the sound of qiΔ stopped.
Gu Wenmin's beautiful lips were pursed into a line, and his dark eyes stared directly at the shadow on the door, and then, he turned his head to look at me, his voice was a little unstable, and said, "Old Chen...... What to do. "She always called me by my name, but now she has changed her name in a hurry.
Tofu rubbed his eyes hard and muttered, "This must be a hallucination, I must be still fucking dreaming." After saying that, he opened his eyes again, and when he saw the shadow on the door and window, a wave of fear flashed in Tofu's eyes, almost despair.
I don't know what my expression is at the moment, my guts should be the biggest among the several, but at this time, I only feel that my hands and feet are cold, my heart is pounding, and my throat is a little dry.
At this moment, the stiff black shadows outside the door suddenly moved, and with a thud that resounded through the night, those things began to hit the door. I don't need to look through the crack in the door, I also know that at this moment, all the things that were originally going to the outside of the village have been piled up outside our door.
The old wooden door bolt squeaked under the impact, as if it would break in the next moment, and the three tofu were probably too frightened to move, so I forced myself to calm down and said violently; "Quick, put something on top of the door."
The three of them were six gods and no masters, and their minds were blank when they heard me say this, and they instantly came to their strength, and their movements were actually one step faster than me, and they quickly moved the nearest table from us, and then the cabinets and tables were put on the table together, and the entire wooden door was tightly condensed.
The four of us breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as the breath reached our throats, we heard a bang, and the carved window broke a big hole, sawdust flew sideways, and a thin head came in through the hole.
It was a bruised dead face, with two obscene eyes glowing yellow, staring straight at us, with only a layer of skin on its head, like a moving dried corpse.
With its appearance, a strong stench of corpses came to its nostrils, this thing was even more terrifying than the corpses under the Huiyong River at that time, and it struggled with its head to get in. Although the door is resisted, but the top of this old-fashioned wooden door is hollowed out, the bearing force is relatively weak, only to hear another bang, another head drilled in, and then go on like this, I am afraid that the entire upper part of the wooden door will be smashed by them.
In an emergency, I thought of the old man on the second floor, and now that I think about it, I even wonder if the old man is a human or a ghost.
Seeing that those things were about to crawl in, Tofu's lips trembled, and he said, "Lao, Lao Chen, what should I do?" Rao is my boldness, in this case, the operation of the brain is also a lot slower, for a while can only say: "I don't know what these are, quickly, they are coming in, hurry up, let's go to the second floor, there are still many rooms on the second floor, close the door and hide for a while." β
A few people after I reminded them, did not dare to delay, twisted the backpack, like a mourning dog hurriedly ran to the second floor, we almost ran to the staircase, the door of those dry corpse-like things smashed the wooden door, one by one poured in, in a hurry to see, all of them were wearing rotten cloth, skin bruised dried corpses, among which there were vaguely two dried corpses that had not yet decomposed, wearing modern mountaineering clothes.
At a glance, a dense mass of dried corpses poured into the first floor, and the yellow cloudy eyes moved upward, staring at us on the stairs. Where did the four of us dare to stay longer, we ran wildly, and went to the corridor on the second floor in one breath.
It was pitch black, only our flashlight emitted a dim yellow glow, as if the power supply was insufficient, and the light of the flashlight was already very weak. I immediately spotted a closed door, pointed to it, and said, "The old man is inside, see if you can push it open, let's go in and hide." β
Don't look at Gu Wenmin is a girl, but it is estimated that she is a perennial photography trek, and her body is very good, running in front of the tofu, which is closest to the door. When she heard this, she immediately pushed hard, and the wooden door creaked, and it opened all of a sudden.
Gu Wenmin probably didn't expect it to be so easy, and he was stunned for a moment.
I thought that the few of us would at least have to bang on the door, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, and I was a little stunned for a while. I'm cautious, the easier it is, the more I feel that something is strange in my heart, but before I can think about it, Tofu has already gasped and said, "It's coming!" β
When I turned my head, I saw that a dried corpse had already gone up the stairs and was about to turn into the corridor where we were. Although I had a lot of doubts in my heart, but in this case, I couldn't think about it anymore, the four of them flashed into the room, closed the door with their backhands, and plugged in the door bolt, only then they were barely relieved, and Tofu shouted in his mouth: "Quick, move some more things over and top it." β
Gu Wenmin and Mao Rooster immediately began to move the tables and chairs in the room, and I had an extra eye and watched the environment in the room with a flashlight.
The interior of the room is very retro, although it is not ornate, but it follows the layout of the ancient attic, divided into two parts, and one sleeps inside, blocked by a rotten screen covered with dust.
Outside, there is hospitality, with an old and quaint tea table, and nothing else. And there was such a big commotion, but the old man did not show up, it seems that I was right, I am afraid that the old man is not a person.
Since it was the second floor, the wooden door was much shorter, and everything was stacked on top of each other, and we were not afraid of them breaking in for a while, and it was only at this point that we were really relieved.
Gu Wenmin said worriedly: "What now?" β
Tofu said: "This place can't stay, we have to find a way to escape." β
The hairy rooster stammered, "Can ...... But this is a dry corpse village, there are so many dried corpses outside, let's ...... How, how do we escape, escape? β
At the critical moment of tofu, his brain was quite good, and he recalled: "When we came in, we walked through the gate of the village, but now we have entered the second floor, and the back of the second floor should be facing the outside of the village, so let's take a look from the back." β
Gu Wenmin's eyes lit up and he praised: "This method is feasible. I want to think about it...... The back should be in the ......"
Tofu finally did something smart, and I immediately said, "It should be in the opposite position from us, that is, the bedroom behind the screen, let's go, let's go and have a look." β
At this moment, the things outside had already crowded to the second floor, and began to bang on the door, and the low wooden door could barely withstand it for a while under the accumulation of various tables, chairs, and wardrobes. The four of us walked quickly across the screen and entered the bedroom with the help of the dimming glow of the flashlight.
Looking into the bedroom, there was still a person lying on the bed inside.
Tofu exclaimed: "Damn, this old man is still asleep." β
Gu Wenmin said: "There must be a demon when it is abnormal, normal people have such a big movement, who can still sleep, everyone be careful." After that, she took out some things from her backpack and threw them at us, like some camera equipment, tripods and the like, the quality is relatively good, heavy to start with, very weighty, can be used as weapons.
At the critical moment of tofu, he didn't forget to pat his ass, and praised Gu Wenmin: "Miss Gu, you are really a charcoal in the snow, just like the timely rain in the dry land, the spring breeze warms my heart, the blood shines on the red tassels, Xiao Dou admires." β
I really wanted to beat him to death with a stick, so I lowered my voice and said, "Stop slapping and work." β
The hairy rooster is not useful, and I can't let Gu Wenmin take risks as a girl, so I immediately gave Tofu a look. Although Tofu is timid, he does not lag behind at the critical moment, and when he understands the situation in front of him, he can only take it seriously and rush forward. The two of us, one left and one right, struck left and right, and leaned towards the old man on the bed.
As the light drew closer, I could see the person on the bed clearly, and judging by the clothes, there was no doubt that it was the old man, who had his back to us, and who had not covered the quilt, revealing the back of his neck.
As soon as I looked at the back of the neck, I felt a cool breath swishing from the ears, because there was no flesh on the neck, only a layer of dry skin against the bones, so that the shape of the bones was clearly visible, and at the same time, a strange smell that seemed to be smelly but not smelly also rushed into the tip of our noses.
Tofu held his breath and said in a dumb voice: "What taste, why do I feel a little familiar?" β
I said secretly: Of course I am familiar, this is the smell of corpse oil emanating from the corpse of the Huiyong River.
The old man in front of him was a corpse that had been bubbling with oil.
