The rainy night was crushed by the sound of hooves.

All the peasants turned in the direction of the galloping horses, brandishing their torches and surrounding them, and the strange shouts became farther and farther away, but instead left the original protagonist in place.

Looking at the farmers who had suddenly left, Babu gave Monica an inquiring look, now is a rare opportunity, whether to leave or stay, must be decided early.

"No, it's too dangerous to go out now." Monica looked at the visibility around her, sighed and said, "You can still defend the danger in the room, and if you run out, you will be a target for the enemy, not to mention that we don't even know where to go." ”

"How about going back to the edge first?"

"That's more risky." Monica seemed to remember the experience of a long time ago, and shivered, "I don't know why the edge is abnormal, and it is completely unknown whether the result of hitting my head is good or bad." Don't forget that little Anna is scared from the outside, in case she runs headlong into a node like the caravan in Thor before, or an unknown alien with malicious intentions...... Even if Anna had the advantage of her geographical advantage to help fight against so many people, and no one in the caravan that came into direct contact with the other party survived, if we rushed out and bumped into a similar alien, the result would be unimaginable. In contrast, although the situation inside is weird, it can be understood and dealt with at least for the time being, and when you really can't deal with it, take the last risk. But I think ......."

"Can you go over and have a look?" As soon as Babu saw that Monica had been staring in the direction of the galloping horse, she guessed her thoughts, "I agree, there must be something important in there, maybe even a living person, who might be able to figure out what is going on." ”

"Huh? Did you see that? Monica was surprised.

"No, I guess." As soon as Babu pulled Monica, the two lowered their voices, and slowly slipped back to the first floor with Anna in their arms, "This family has escaped, which means that it is not a secret that there is a crisis here, since the other party is in the dark at night and takes great risks, he also wants to go there, and he doesn't even want to wait until dawn tomorrow, there must be something that must be obtained immediately or simply go in to save people, otherwise he will not rush back to spend the night because he can't sleep because he changed his bed." ”

Being lightly punched by Monica, Babu stopped talking nonsense, the two had tested before, before the head exploded into a shadow ball, the other party was still the same as a normal creature, using vision and hearing to find a target, so the two lightly opened the door that was on the verge of collapse, and did not light the lantern, and directly touched the darkness into the darkness.

At this time, the surrounding area was in chaos for several hundred meters, and countless farmers held torches high, waved pitchforks, and slowly surrounded the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of burning torches, chaotic footsteps, and strange shouts were connected, making the surroundings quite lively.

None of the farmers noticed that two of them, almost behind them, slipped through the darkness and sneaked into the farmland on the other side. The unripe crops in the field gave the two of them the best cover, and by the light of the fire and the shadows of the trees, the two walked deeper and deeper, gradually approaching the new black farmhouse.

"Wangwang", the sudden barking of the dog, made the two stop all actions like a freeze frame, and with a low roar, two half-human-high big black dogs ran silently from the ridge. As they passed by the two of them, one of them suddenly stopped, looked down and sniffed around, and circled around the place where they had passed not long ago.

The hearts of the two of them are getting tighter and tighter, and their heartbeats are getting faster and faster, and they can feel the cold sweat oozing from each other's palms when they hold each other's hands. Seeing that the two black dogs had followed the scent, and seeing two more farmers running slowly behind them with torches, Monica couldn't help but make a move twice, but they were stopped by Babu's hand, so she could only force herself to endure it.

The two peasants' footsteps were heavy, and they shouted a few times as they ran past, and the two black dogs immediately ran back to the farmer and continued to surround the direction of the horses' hooves.

"Whew", it wasn't until the two of them and the two dogs ran away that Monica let out a sigh of relief and found that her back was already soaked in cold sweat. Looking at Babu again, she noticed that something was wrong with Babu, his muscles were strangely tense, his breath was short, his cheeks were red, and he looked like he was sick. But after thinking about it carefully, Monica suddenly blushed, punched Babu in the back, and then turned his head and left, his eyes wandered during the whole process and he didn't dare to look at him, and Babu sneered strangely, and followed Monica awkwardly, and the two took advantage of no one to pass, quickly crossed the ridge, hurriedly climbed over the low fence in a few steps, and hid in the courtyard of the farmhouse.

The outside of the wall is still noisy and noisy, but the courtyard is much quieter after a wall, and if you look carefully at the ground inside and outside the door, there are no footprints on the soaked mud floor, indicating that there is nothing in and out recently.

Eyes in the courtyard a little around, the two of them came in in a very timely manner, the sky has begun to whiten, and gradually can see the outlines of the surrounding objects, a little later, it is estimated that they will be blocked outside to catch a square, but now it is much safer, it seems that this group of strange farmers, without a clear goal, will not run around.

Looking around the courtyard of the farmstead, in addition to the front room, there is also a barn seven or eight meters high on the side, the difference is that there is a small attic at the top of this barn, and the two of them look at each other and smile, both interested in this natural lookout.

Monica raised her chin towards the attic, and Babu nodded, and then quickly approached the barn door, Monica turned her back and pressed back to back with him, cautiously observing everything that was going on in the yard.

"Huh?" Babu in front of the door suddenly made a surprised voice and pressed it very low, but Monica, who was close to him, still heard it, and Monica did not look back, let alone ask, but just bumped Babu's back with her elbow to show inquire.

"It's okay, there's no movement inside." Babu busied his hands and whispered, "It's the door lock." ”

Monica didn't understand what was surprising at the door lock, but suddenly reacted, the weapon was in hand, ready to strike at any moment, and at the same time her voice was lowered: "From the inside? ”

"Hmm."

There was a "bang", and the sound of chains falling from inside the door was heard through the door, and I didn't know how Babu managed to break the padlock through the thin crack in the door, but as the chains fell, the barn door was still opened.

Hiding in the door and not entering the door, the two of them took the first step to search for the corpse with their eyes, probably just killing a cat attracted so many people to besiege, if there were still a few chicken corpses lying in the door, neither of them knew whether to attack or not.

Fortunately, even Anna's nose was used, and she was finally sure that there were no bodies in the barn, and she re-wrapped the chain around the door with her backhand, and the two of them looked at the vertical staircase that led to the attic.

Monica stopped Babu's movements, pointed to herself, and then to the top, and then flexibly climbed the ladder, and Babu tilted her head and sighed regretfully, not knowing what she was regretting, but then moved her eyes to the end of the stairs, beware of something suddenly coming out of it.

Two or three meters from the opening at the end of the staircase, Monica's whip flung out, wrapped around the entrance away from the other end of the staircase, and then pulled herself straight up. She didn't move when she got up, and Babu waited below for almost a minute, her eyebrows furrowing tighter, before she poked her head out of the top of the stairs and typed the agreed code.

With a long sigh, Babu carried Anna behind her back with her backhand, and went up the ladder, and as soon as she got through the entrance, she felt a cold wind carrying the smell of rain rushing towards her face.

It is indeed an open attic on all sides, surrounded by chest-high walls, and the view is very open, just enough to be used as an observation deck, but before looking around, the first thing I see is a child lying in a corner.

The moment he saw the child, Babu's dagger had already slipped into the palm of his hand, but seeing the child's still heaving chest, he gestured to Monica with his gaze: "Alive? ”

"Well, but we just happened to check the dead cat and the dead sheep, and now we can't be sure that only the dead corpse will become the kind of monster below, and the living may not change."

Monica was not at ease, and the two kept a certain distance from the child to observe. It was supposed to be a little girl, about the same age as Anna, eleven or twelve, not tall, with hair half the length and not short, curled up in the corner of the wall motionless, as if it weren't for her breathing and heartbeat, as if she were dead.

The child remained motionless, and the sound of the horse's hooves was getting tighter, and the two men turned away from the child, and lay down against the wall, looking down under the cover of the low wall.

The brightness could barely make out what was going on, it was a sturdy variegated horse, galloping like madness along the dirt path, and one passenger was lying on his back, bouncing up and down with the ups and downs of the horse.

Behind him was muddy and watery, several cows and a herd of sheep were in hot pursuit, I don't know how long it had been chasing him, and farther away, there was a faint group of people wielding farm tools running in this direction, but they had been left far behind.

But now there is a positive one.

The galloping horse was still some distance from where Babu Monica was, and from all directions, a large crowd had already surrounded it. Suddenly bumped into an enemy, and the rider on the horse seemed to be unprepared at all, and tried to change direction in a panic, but as soon as he turned halfway, he crashed headlong into the pile of people around him.

The fast horse easily ran into the two men who stood in the way, but these strange farmers were all holding farm tools, and the farm tools were quite sharp, and the fast horse that hit the man inevitably slowed down a little, and next to it a pitchfork and a nail rake pierced and pierced deep into the horse's belly.

The horse wailed, its hooves weakened, and it rolled into the muddy earth, and the rider on horseback was overturned, followed by several more pitchforks. The fast horse was bleeding profusely and struggled desperately, but more and more farm tools waved over, followed by a herd of cattle and sheep gnawing like crazy, and it didn't take long for the fast horse to be silent.

Solving a goal, strange people and domestic animals turn their attention to the rider again, however, the rider is gone.
