Chapter 30: The Sole Survivor
Several people acted separately, and Yin Jiuxian followed the path to the west.
The sound will attract the attention of the poisoner, and she cannot open her mouth to call people, but can only look from room to room.
The situation was just ridiculously bad, and there were even dark black blood stains in some courtyards, but there was no one in them.
Not even the frantic villagers.
Yin Jiuxian entered a spacious and atmospheric mansion, where the squire should live or something, and the house was incompatible with the surrounding farmhouse courtyard.
"Anyone?" She asked in a whisper.
Boast!
In the kitchen, there was a loud noise.
Yin Jiuxian's face changed, and he tiptoed outside the kitchen: "Who's in there?" β
There was no answer inside.
Just then, a strange sound came from outside the courtyard.
Click, click, click......
It was as if someone was moving bones, and it was as if someone was gnawing on something.
The sound was terrifying, and Yin Jiuxian's scalp tingled when he heard it.
Xiaoqing also hid his face in the collar: "Let's go!" β
Before the words fell, the door of the house was suddenly openedβ
A man with bulging eyes and blood on his chest and mouth staggered in.
Yin Jiuxian's breath stagnated, and he suddenly noticed that someone was pulling his hand, and when he looked back, he saw a little girl with a gray face!
"Shh The little girl made a "come in" lip shape.
Yin Jiuxian hurriedly ran sideways into the kitchen.
The little girl seemed to be very experienced, but she took out a rancid roast chicken from the cabinet and threw it out of the courtyard door quickly.
The man pounced like a vicious dog, pounced on it, and held the roast chicken for a meal, just with his back to them.
The little girl walked out cautiously and beckoned to Yin Jiuxian.
The two crept out of the mansion, and after running for a while, they happened to meet Wu Yi and the others.
The little girl was panting, and under the curious eyes of several people, she couldn't even straighten her waist.
"Senior sister, where did you find this little girl?" Wuwu asked.
"In the house over there!" Yin Jiuxian pointed behind him, "Inside, there's a ...... inside Poisoned people! β
She couldn't think of what words to use to call these poisoned villagers for a moment, and she was forced to pause.
Wuwu looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes: "It's broken, that's the village chief Uncle Cui's house!" β
With helpers, several people rushed back to the village chief's house again.
The man who was squatting at the door to nibble on roast chicken before didn't know where he had left, and there were only bits and pieces of minced meat on the ground.
Several people searched inside and outside the yard, but they couldn't find any trace of the man.
Wu Yi's expression was solemn: "The whole village has suffered!" β
Yin Jiuxian bent down slightly, looking at the thin little girl: "Do you know where your father and mother went?" β
The little girl pouted: "It's dead." β
She seemed to be a little cramped, her fingers kept picking at the holes in her clothes, and she said angrily, "My father and mother are sick and dead." My uncle and aunt said that I was a disaster star, and I was not allowed to live in the village. β
This little girl was dry and thin, and she looked like she was usually hungry and full.
He was thirteen or fourteen years old, but he looked like a ten-year-old child, severely malnourished.
Such a young girl was kicked out of the village, how did she live these days......
Yin Jiuxian looked at her with some distress: "Where is your home, we will send you back first." β
"Over there." The little girl pointed to the mountainside in the distance.
Along the way, several people were silent.
No one could have imagined that so many things would happen in one day just after arriving at the scene of the incident.
It is very worrying that this journey has not been smooth.
While walking and chatting, Yin Jiuxian learned that the little girl's name was Yueniang.
According to her, her father and mother were dead for four years.
After they died, her uncle and aunt seized the property and kicked her out.
It has been very difficult to live these years, but fortunately, there are a few kind uncles and aunts in the village, who often bring her something to eat. In addition, she herself has cultivated the wasteland, so she can survive until now.
She was supposed to go to the village well this morning to fetch water.
Since the problem with the stream, many villagers have been afraid to drink the stream water, and instead go to a well in the east of the village and queue up to fetch water.
Here's the problem, Yueniang arrived in the village, and happened to meet the villagers who were crazy at the beginning, and bit the guard.
One to ten, ten to hundred......
A strange illness swept through the entire village in just two hours.
Halfway up the mountainside, there is a very small thatched house.
The walls were still cracked, and next to the house was a simple shed with tarpaulin, in which many pots and pans were placed.
"This is my home." Yueniang said, skillfully pushing open the heavy wooden door.
Wu Yi asked the question that everyone was concerned about: "Then do you know where those villagers have gone?" β
"They all seem to have gone to the North Mountain." Yueniang pursed her lips.
"Kitayama?"
"Well, there's a big tomb over there, which was exposed a few years ago. There's a mass grave of martyrs inside! Yueniang had timidity in her eyes.
Wu Yi nodded: "Okay, then you stay at home and don't go out." β
He said, "Wuwu, Brother Zhang, let's go to Beishan to have a look." β
"Good!"
The three men just wanted to leave, but they heard Yin Jiuxian ask, "What about me?" Senior brother, I'm going to go with you. β
"No, it's too dangerous!" Wuwu frowned tightly, "Little junior sister, you haven't seen those people, and even I'm afraid of being crazy!" β
Zhang Zhishao also said: "Yes." Miss Yin, you better stay. Yueniang also needs someone to take care of her, right? β
Yin Jiuxian frowned tightly, "But, I can also help......"
She hadn't forgotten why she had come down this time.
"Obedient." Wu Yi finally made a final decision, "You stay, we will be back soon." β
Anyway, regardless of whether Yin Jiuxian agreed or not, the three of them left together.
Yin Jiuxian looked at the backs of them leaving and sighed faintly.
Of course she knew they were good for herself, but ......
In the setting sun, her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Obviously, he secretly swore in his heart before that he would never associate with these senior brothers again.
As soon as they treated her a little better, she was happy.
"Hey, I'm looking forward to it, so why hide it." A young girl's voice interrupted the calm.
Yueniang's face turned pale, and when she looked around, there were only two of them in the huge room: "Who is talking?!" β
