Chapter 42: The Farmhouse Mystery (4)

"Looking at the situation in this village, it seems that it took a long time to struggle before he died. We may be able to find out if there are any clues in the Trusteeship Court. ”

Fu Zhiyan still covered his mouth and nose, and spoke to Gu Yisheng cautiously.

"Indeed, that's the only way to find out now."

Gu Yisheng solemnly agreed with this idea.

The village trustee was killed before the main gate, presumably because he took on the responsibility of protecting the whole village.

Looking at the scattered corpses at the door, some of them still maintained the appearance of farming, and did not seem to realize what was happening around them; The corpses of some young children even kept playing and laughing, smiling on their faces that had not yet been gnawed off their muscles; Some of them lie on their backs or kneels in an embarrassed posture, or bend over their abdomen, as if they are begging for mercy and cannot be killed with a knife.

Presumably this was a surprise attack, which means that this group of robbers came with the purpose of slaughter from the beginning, that is, to make no one alive here, so they did not need to consult and inform, and directly went on a killing spree.

Although they had killed men, all the gold, silver, and iron tools on the ground were there. Gold, silver and iron are the most valuable things, and ordinary robbers will definitely take them as a consolation to their own lives.

Visible......

Not for money, but for simple slaughter.

Such a ruthless death of people.

The purpose of the planting is obvious.

The bodies of the people in front of them were covered with knife marks, apparently killed.

The people in the back were basically people who died of the plague.

The boundaries are clear – that is, it is almost certain that the people here were aware that the people in the back of the house were suffering from the same disease before they were slaughtered, so they concentrated the people in the back of the house to prevent affecting the others.

Other normal people in the front room—at least—did not have any symptoms of the plague.

Gu Yisheng and Fu Zhiyan carefully avoided all kinds of strange creatures on the ground.

"What is this?"

Gu Yisheng pointed to a bug on the ground that suddenly swelled from a small black dot to a fat and bulging state, and was really disgusted.

Fu Zhiyan only glanced at it, recognized it, and replied, "Corpse devourer." ”

He motioned for her to stay away from the thing.

"This thing often eats corpses, and it is mostly seen in various epidemic areas. Although it only eats corpses, you also have to be careful. ”

In the distance, a flag was planted on a house, which was probably the place where the village trustee's court was located.

The two walked slowly.

The black crow wept blood, and the sky sank.

Suddenly.

A pair of hands wrapped around Gu Yisheng's ankles.

Those hands were small.

It was only enough to encircle Gu Yisheng's slender ankles.

Those hands, like dead branches.

Those hands were full of blood and mud.

Around a bold person like Gu Yisheng, he was really frightened.

She looked down and saw that it was a small girl.

She was only a little bit bigger, and she was huddled on the ground covered in corpse blood.

She raised her head like this and looked at Gu Yisheng with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

She spoke weakly, and said a few words angrily: "Help...... Save me. ”

In such a deserted village, there are still people alive!

Gu Yisheng hurriedly lowered her head and wanted to pick up the girl, but was preempted by Fu Zhiyan.

"You are an unmarried little lady, how can you hold it?"

Fu Zhiyan picked up the girl and said, "I'll wait here, you go to the house to explore." ”

Gu Yisheng smiled when he heard this, and felt that this man really liked to be strong.

He didn't seem to be at ease, and said again and again: "Be careful of the things there, don't hurt yourself, and run quickly when you encounter danger." ”

Gu Yisheng responded one by one.

The house was in a mess, but there were still faint traces of the former owner's office.

The middle one was stained with blood, leading to a square shape, as if something had been taken from the past.

In addition, the bookshelves, which should have been full, were all swept to the floor.

Don't......

Could it be that they were looking for something other than the plague death and injury booklet?

Gu Yisheng was full of doubts.

Not far away, something seemed to be touched, making a sound of "Xi Xi shattered".

Sparkling ......

It's a trap!

Before Gu Yisheng could accurately judge the location of the mechanism, a sharp arrow shot straight at her.

Seeing this, she hurriedly flew and flashed, raising a book on the ground as cover.

One arrow does not stop, another arrow comes!

Gu Yisheng almost had nowhere to escape, no way to retreat, and even stopped on the beam of the house and couldn't make a slight move.

"Ding!"

Those sharp arrows that Gu Yisheng had dodged were nailed into the wall one after another, until the wall was shot out of the hollows.

The color of the wall has changed from the original loess skin color to black, red, black and red blood.

Sure enough! This arrow is poisoned!

It's dangerous......!

If Gu Yisheng hadn't dodged just now......

The consequences are unimaginable.

Just when she didn't know where to go, dozens of short arrows were fired at her, and she dodged, several arrows passing her at an extremely small distance.

Walk on the arrow.

Finally, it was a little resting.

Soon there were dozens of arrows......

"Who set up this mechanism, and it's endless?"

Gu Yisheng secretly complained in his heart.

While dodging, she saw a thin glittering rope, presumably triggered by accidentally touching it when she was walking herself.

This thin, shiny rope can only be seen in a slightly brighter place, which shows the ingenuity of the designer.

It's so hidden, it's hard to teach people to survive.

Gu Yisheng carefully shuttled among the dense arrows like rain, walked to the rope with difficulty, and slashed down with a sword following the angle just now......

The trap is stopped!

Gu Yisheng was secretly happy in his heart.

"Squeak Squeak......"

However, before she could catch her breath, her feet were empty and the ground was open......

Gu Yisheng was caught off guard and fell, even if he was lucky enough to grab the ground around him, it was difficult to support him all the time, and he was squeezed down by the recovered mechanism.

She had to let go.

She didn't want to cut off her fingers.

It's dark down there.

It's not just the kind of black that you can't see your fingers, but you don't even know if you have the kind of black that you put your hand out.

She didn't know what kind of place it was.

I just feel like the world is spinning.

In the boundless darkness, everything is shapeless.

Heaven and earth seem to be upside down, and there seem to be countless tentacles around you that are entanglement and scratching you.

Endless cold, immeasurable vertigo.

She only felt herself fall slightly, and she didn't know if it was because of fear or something else.

She only felt that she was soft, but her feet felt like she had stepped on something.

In fact, it is not the darkness that is scary, but the things that may appear in this darkness that you can never predict.
