Chapter 21: A Dangerous Night in a Murderous Village
"Something's wrong!"
The adjutant rolled over and scrambled to his feet.
He waved his hand: "Go over and have a look!" ”
Immediately, a soldier grabbed a gun and trotted over to check.
"Bang"
Another shot.
"Ahh The screams intensified, but the soldier who had just run over did not return.
"Something is wrong!"
Zhang Wen and the adjutant glanced at each other.
It was the same person who listened to the screams, as if he had been terrified.
"A few more people!" The adjutant continued: "Whoever it is, shoot and kill".
At this time, Shen Dashuai also woke up and walked out under the protection of the soldiers.
"Adjutant, why is there a gunshot?"
The adjutant sweated: "Marshal, I have already sent someone to check." ”
"Bang!"
The gunshots rang out again, accompanied by that scream.
However, there were many soldiers sent over this time, and when the guns rang out, the sound of intensive gunfire was heard "bang", "bang", "bang", "bang......
It took about a dozen seconds to stop.
Finding that the gunshots had disappeared and then there was no movement, the adjutant asked in a loud voice, "Are there any living people?" ”
"Report! Already killed the bastard who shot it! ”
Zhang Wen and the adjutant glanced at each other: "Let's go, go over and have a look!" ”
In Zhang Wen's opinion, this should be a means for Qian Zhenren to escape for his life, Taoism can be used to catch ghosts and exorcise demons, and of course, there are also blinding methods that can cover the eyes of ordinary people.
But when he carried a gun and went to the meadow with the adjutant, he was stunned.
Qian Zhenren is dead, and there is a bloody hole in the center of his eyebrows.
Not far from Qian Zhenren's corpse, there was also the corpse of a soldier, which had been beaten into a hornet's nest by random shooting.
There were also two bodies in the distance, which were the soldiers who had just heard the gunshots and followed the adjutant's order to come to investigate.
"Identification"
"Qian Zhenren (Corpse), Status: Dead"
"It's really dead, it's not a trick." Zhang Wen turned his head to look at the adjutant, and the adjutant nodded, roughly understanding what Zhang Wen meant.
"What the hell is going on!" The adjutant asked.
A soldier swallowed: "Adjutant, Mr. Zhang, this village, maybe there is such a thing." ”
"yes, I remember that we ran into a ghost hitting the wall not long ago." The other soldier nodded as well.
The adjutant glared and pulled out his pistol: "Disturb the morale of the army, believe it or not, I broke you!" ”
He didn't know where he had hit the evil spirit, but now was not the time to be discouraged.
Zhang Wen touched the shell gun on his waist with one hand, and quietly grabbed the yellow talisman in his pocket with the other, and asked, "What did you see just now?" ”
"Wang Cai went crazy, and he shot at us as soon as we came."
The soldier who spoke just now pointed to the corpse that had been beaten into a hornet's nest:
"A few of us shot him and killed him, tsk! It's so scary, the intestines that were hit by the bullets are leaking out, and they shoot desperately, trying to kill us, I've never seen such a fatal person after so many years of being a soldier. ”
Several others nodded their heads.
The adjutant was not sure, he quietly walked to Zhang Wen's side, and in his impression, Zhang Wen was a strange person.
Whisper, "Isn't it?" ”
Zhang Wen shook his head slightly: "It's hard to make a conclusion." ”
He walked up to Wang Cai's corpse, and endured not to look at the disgusting scene, but to look at the face that had opened its mouth wide and stared at it because of horror.
"He's the soldier in charge of guarding Qian Zhenren."
Zhang Wen was surprised in his heart: "That is to say, Qian Zhenren wanted to relieve himself just now, and Wang Cai followed him in order to guard Qian Zhenren, but Wang Cai suddenly went crazy and shot Qian Zhenren." ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Wen walked towards Qian Zhenren, who was not blind, and gently turned Qian Zhenren's corpse over, with a large blood hole in the back of his head, which was sunken in, and the bullet was shot into the back of his head at a very close distance, and then drilled out of the center of his eyebrows.
"If it's really Wang Cai who goes crazy, everything will make sense!" Zhang Wen looked back at the other two corpses: "They heard the gunshots coming, and then they were attacked by Wang Cai, and they were shot and killed respectively, until the group of people behind came, and then they shot and killed Wang Cai indiscriminately." ”
"Demon-possessed? If it was a ghost possession, Wang Cai should not have howled with a single shot. ”
Zhang Wen frowned tightly: "Wang Cai was frightened; Scare... But they shot at their own people, and they hit them so accurately? ”
"Mr. Zhang?" The adjutant watched Zhang Wen turn over the corpse on the left and move his head on the right, but he didn't say a word, and his heart was furious.
"It's better to burn all the corpses, and let everyone be careful, don't shoot without permission, there may be some poisonous weeds in this place, which will make people hallucinate."
"Poisonous weeds?"
The adjutant, including the surrounding soldiers, nodded in confusion.
Zhang Wen is to stabilize the morale of the army, but he can probably guess that the thing hiding in the dark should not be high, otherwise he would not take the lead in getting rid of Qian Zhenren by Wang Cai's hand.
"It's a pity that Qian Zhenren is dead, no matter how high his kung fu is, he is afraid of guns."
"Listen to Mr. Zhang, burn all the corpses!"
The adjutant instructed his soldiers to carry the corpses and burn them with firewood on the spot.
Zhang Wen returned to Shen Dashuai's side,
Shen Dashuai put on a coat: "Mr. Zhang, how is it?" ”
He is not afraid of fighting, but he is afraid of this invisible and untouchable thing, and when the bullet is fired, he hears a sound.
"I don't have a clue yet."
Zhang Wen shook his head, he is an ordinary person, and he learned the tricks from horror movies, but when he really touched dirty things, he had no choice.
"But that thing must not be far away from us, maybe it has been staring at us all the time."
"Stare?!" Shen Dashuai shuddered.
Staring at this word was enough for him to get goosebumps.
Turning his neck from side to side, a fat head shook a few times, and then Shen Dashuai approached Zhang Wen: "Mr. Zhang, is there a way to deal with it?" ”
Zhang Wen shook his head decisively.
The enemy is dark and I am clear, and God bless me if I can survive for a long time, let alone deal with ghosts.
After a pause, he said, "First find a group of virgins who are not broken, collect some children's urine for later use, and then ...... It's better to centralize the management of guns, so as not to happen again. ”
"Wang Cai?" Shen Dashuai was puzzled.
Just as the adjutant came back and explained what had just happened to Shen Dashuai, Shen Dashuai was very simple and immediately confiscated his guns, and only he kept the guns himself.
Zhang Wen never showed his gun and kept it.
"Mr. Zhang" adjutant said: "The body has been burned, the gun has been collected, what should we do next?" ”
"Wait!"
Zhang Wen looked up at the moon hanging high and added: "Wait until dawn." ”
If it weren't for the deep mountains and old forests, he might have encountered something on the road, and the thing in the shadows wouldn't necessarily let them go, so he really wanted to set off now.
There were corpses on the firewood, the fire crackled, and the smell of meat came, and everyone was sick to their stomachs, but no one wanted to leave the range of the fire.
The firelight, the hot people sweat, but it makes people feel at ease.
After some more time, the flames of the burning bodies were extinguished, leaving only a dark red spark in the darkness, which flickered with the wind.
"Isn't that thing ready to be sold?"
Zhang Wen has always maintained the movement of holding the gun on his waist with one hand and the rune paper in his pocket with the other, and his hands are sweating because he is too nervous.
He was also afraid that the cinnabar on the talisman paper would be soaked with sweat from his hands, so he rubbed his palms on his thighs from time to time.
On the overly tense night, no one dared to sleep, everyone stared, obviously no one believed that Zhang Wen's "poisonous weeds" caused Wang Cai to go crazy.
"I'm in a hurry! Brother Qian, come with me for a trip. The soldier sitting not far from Zhang Wen said.
The soldier known as Brother Qian, shook his head: "You go by yourself, I'm sleepy." ”
"I don't dare to go myself, I'll go back and invite you to drink." The soldier pleaded again.
Brother Qiange had no choice, so he had to nod: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
The two of them got up quietly, but didn't dare to go too far.
"Looks fine."
Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed slightly.
But suddenly, a scream came, it was Brother Qian: "Crazy, you are crazy!" Xiao Zhou! ”
