Chapter 113: Choice
Long Yi sighed for a long time before he said slowly:
"I haven't seen it either, I think I've seen it in an old book. In ancient books, it is said that the blood man is the carrier of the zombies to supply their own blood.
"In order to maintain their size and motivation, zombies have to drink blood a lot. While the zombie bites the blood vessels with its teeth, it also invades the bitten human body, especially the blood, paralyzing the human nerves and corrupting the human organs, and the person becomes a zombie. Then another round of bloodsucking and turning into a zombie.
"Inspired zombies are afraid that there will be more and more zombies, which will make it difficult for them to find their own blood. They came up with a way to get the best of both worlds: instead of sucking the blood all at once, they left the blood that allowed the vampire to survive and let him continue to live.
Ryuichi continued, "And leave your own smell on his body, and when this person's blood grows, come back and suck it, every time."
"A bloody man can be fed by zombies for decades or even centuries, until he is too old to make blood anymore and becomes a zombie himself.
"In this way, the zombies have enough blood supply, and they don't kill other people, so the blood source can't be reduced.
"So, people called the people who supplied the blood of the zombies 'blood people' – people who supplied blood.
"When the zombie bit the blood vessel, it had already transmitted the zombie poison to this bloody man. Due to the control of zombies, just less. In fact, this bloody man is already half a zombie, and he has all the functions of a zombie.
"Blood people are sucked once, and it takes a long time to raise them. In order to recover faster, the blood man also uses the same method to cultivate his own blood man. In this way, it is passed down from generation to generation, and behind a zombie, there is often a large number of bloody people. ”
"It's horrible!" Qi Xiaoting transmitted: "They treat me as a bloody person, what should I do?" ”
"When you look at things and do things, there is always a time to make things clear."
"Can our herbal water cure this virus?"
"It can't be cured. Zombie poison is the most poisonous virus, as long as it is contaminated, it will not invade. Our herbal water doesn't work as much. ”
"Isn't there anything to hold it back?"
"Yes, the black donkey's hooves and the ink fountain line."
Qi Xiaoting listened to Long Yi's voice as she walked. In the eyes of outsiders, Qi Xiaoting is like a walking corpse, listlessly allowed to be led by others. is sitting on the fact that she is a "blood man".
When the village chief's house arrived, the interrogation room, which was also the village chief's office, was in a cross-courtyard, two rooms open, with only a desk and two chairs, empty more like a torture room.
The village chief is in his fifties, slightly chubby, wearing a robe and a short coat, much like the old rich man in the feudal era in Qi Xiaoting's previous life.
After the three of them "led" Qi Xiaoting into the house, the unknown middle-aged man called the village chief out and talked for a while in the courtyard.
Sure enough, as soon as the village chief sat down on the chair in front of the desk, he asked:
"Tell me honestly, was Lao Tanzi bitten by you?"
Qi Xiaoting: "No, when I saw him, he was already covered in blood." ”
Village Chief: "It's just dawning, you are an outsider, what are you doing in Weitang?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "I went for a walk, and I happened to meet you." ”
Village Chief: "Qubble! Has anyone proved that you were walking? ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Back to the village chief, here's the thing: I have the habit of getting up early to walk around the corner, and after I get up, I walk along the street.
Yesterday afternoon, Uncle Ha Jinshun's youngest son said that his big yellow dog was found on the edge of the reed pond, and I wanted to walk south to see the situation there.
"When I came to the edge of the reed pond, I suddenly heard a rustling sound from the reeds, and I felt strange, so I walked over.
"Before I could get to the reeds, I saw a dark shadow rushing past me. I felt that something was wrong, so I took two quick steps, pulled out the reeds and looked at it, and found a middle-aged man lying on the ground, his face covered in blood.
"When I saw that the wounded man had a bark face, a nose facing the sky, and a broom eyebrow, I thought it was Uncle Ha Jinshun, the father of the benefactor, so I smeared a twisted gourd potion on the wound and poured a gourd into his mouth.
"With these two gourd potions to protect, I know that Uncle Ha Jinshun has no worries about his life, so I went to chase the murderer."
Village Chief: "Did you catch up?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "No. Chased to the small house in the grove and disappeared. ”
Village Chief: "You went to the house?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Look inside the wall." ”
Village Chief: "Did you go to the house?" ”
Qi Xiaoting thought to herself: At this time, it is better to have more than one thing. Then he said, "When he saw that the door of the house was locked, he did not go down, and found in the courtyard the artemisia grass that had been trampled down." Because I didn't see anyone, and I was worried about Uncle Ha Jinshun here, I didn't look for it anymore and hurried back. ”
Village Chief: "According to what you say, you saved Lao Tanzi." How did Lao Tanzi identify you as the one who bit him? ”
Qi Xiaoting: "I did give him a potion to chase him." I am praying for divine water, and it has miraculous effects. I don't believe you can verify that the wound of the injured person has now formed a thin scab, and there is no blood oozing out at all. ”
The village chief shouted outside the door: "Lao Tanzi, Lao Tanzi come in!" ”
The injured man squeezed in from the crowd at the door and said in a rambling voice, "Village chief, I'm ...... I am here. I had a wound on my neck, but not deep. I didn't suck it and left, village chief, look at me...... Isn't it ......"
Village Chief: "As long as the bite is broken, there is no one who is not infectious, and you have a fluke mentality." You will talk about it in a moment, you stick out your neck first, so that I and the others can look at the wounds. ”
Lao Tanzi really stretched out his neck and pointed to the wound for everyone to see.
"Hey, it's really scabbed!"
"Maybe it's less than an hour, it's like three or four days have passed!"
"Even the blood is not flowing out!"
"Amazing! It's really amazing! ”
“…………”
There was a lot of talking.
Qi Xiaoting saw that the situation was favorable to her, and she also wanted to know what happened, so she said: "Village chief, why don't you also let this uncle tell me what happened, he is the party involved, make it all clear, and find out where the two of us are forked!" ”
Village Chief: "Old Tanzi, tell me what's going on?" ”
Lao Tanzi said tremblingly: "Today, I want to go to the ground to have a look." It's already spring, and let's see if the ground needs to be whole.
"When I walked to the edge of the reed pond, I was suddenly beaten in the back, and I didn't know anything at that time. In a daze, I felt someone poke me in the neck, and when I opened my eyes, he was pouring water into my mouth and pressing my tongue with something to make me swallow. I swallowed hard, my neck hurt, and I didn't know anything more.
When I woke up, there was no one around. When I touched the wet neck, I brought my hand to my eyes, only to know that my neck was broken, and I was so frightened that I shouted hello.
"After a while, Lao Yaozi, Lao Laizi, and Erleng came. Ask me what was going on, and I told them. They looked at the wound on my neck and suspected that I had been bitten by a bloody man. I was frightened and scared, and he came back, so he came up here. ”
Village Chief: "Are you sure he bit you?" ”
Lao Tanzi: "I wasn't conscious when I bit it, but I saw him when I woke up." ”
Qi Xiaoting: "I was giving him a potion." If I'm really a bloody man, I've already fled, why come back! ”
"Yes, too." The middle-aged man who called the old man whispered.
Village Chief: "I can't tell you what is going on here. What if you regret it and want to come for a drink? ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Even if I come for a drink, the three of them are standing there, and they can see it from afar, and I will throw myself into the net!" Besides, if I drank his blood, why did I give him a potion? ”
Village Chief: "Not necessarily. The blood man has the same brain as a normal person, and in order to prevent the blood man he cultivates from dying, he often cleans the wound after sucking blood to avoid infection. ”
I'm stinging, how can I say you cut it off!
Qi Xiaoting complained in her heart, and argued forcefully: "I am a fragrant official, my potion has miraculous effects, and you have verified this." The Bloody Man is half a zombie, what Bloody Man can come up with such a magical potion? ”
Qi Xiaoting said this, and the crowd began to discuss again:
"That's exactly what happened. I've never heard of a bloody man healing a person! ”
"His potion is not an ordinary potion, Daguozi's broken leg yesterday morning is now able to walk on crutches!"
"Lao Shunzi's stomach has been sick for more than ten years, and it hurts, I heard that after drinking a small gourd, it doesn't hurt at all."
"It's so effective, it's not a bloody person."
The village chief knocked on the table to silence the people. He asked Qi Xiaoting again: "You are an incense official!" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Yes, my potion is the fragrant ash water I begged for." ”
Village Chief: "Then let me ask you, if Xiangguan is also bitten by a zombie and becomes a bloody person, won't he also treat people?" Wouldn't it be more convenient for those who walk through the villages and alleys to cultivate their own bloody people. ”
Dog mongrel! You're dead or alive, and you're going to put the bloody man's hat on my head!
Qi Xiaoting was so angry that she was speechless for a while, and hurriedly transmitted the meaning of the village chief to Long Yi in the space.
Long Yi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a good way. I had to say that she should calm down, watch things and do things, and it can't be fake.
Seeing that Qi Xiaoting was no longer speechless, the village chief thought that he was at a loss for words, and said: "We allow blood people here to have two choices: one is to choose to be isolated and weld a super large iron cage to put it up.
"The village built two huts and a courtyard. At the beginning, the iron cage was encamped inside. The bloody people eat and sleep in iron cages, and the village assigns special personnel to take care of them, deliver food and clothing, and clean up. Until old age and death. When old people die, even the corpses are left in the house and burned together.
"One is to choose to self-assert. Then the corpse will be burned in the village, and a monument will be erected as a memorial. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Right now?" ”
