Chapter 2 The Two-Legged Sheep
"!"
Although this was not the first time Meng Ke had seen a dead person, it was the first time he had done it by smashing someone else's Heavenly Spirit Cover with one kick.
His legs shook and he sat directly on the ground.
"Quack!"
I heard a familiar voice coming from under my buttocks, followed by a tingling pain in my buttocks.
"Gan, why am I so unlucky?"
Meng Ke gritted his teeth and pulled out the white bone spur on his buttocks, and threw it on the ground angrily.
"Why are there so many broken bones?"
The words blurted out made him realize that something was wrong, and he immediately leaned down to pick up the surrounding soil.
As the dirt around him was swept away, his expression became more and more horrified.
More than a dozen bones were found in the field of just one lattice under his feet.
Morisen's bones glowed pale green in the cold moonlight, as if ghosts were pouring out hatred.
Looking at the skeletons under his feet, even if the cold wind was biting, Meng Ke didn't realize it.
"This village...... I'm afraid I'll be slaughtered......"
Handfuls of dirt fell from his hands, gradually reburying the exposed bones.
Meng Ke's state of mind had gradually changed from shock to numbness, and when he raised his head, he looked at the silent village not far away.
Now turn around and leave, maybe you can live a few more hours.
But, without food, without clothes, ...... It's just a matter of time.
Even the way to die, I have thought about it. It should be starved and fainted on the side of the road first, and then frozen to death by the cold wind, and it is possible that the corpse will be eaten by the hungry homeless.
Anyway, they all have to die, so why not fight for it?
Meng Ke's hand gripped the half-human-tall wooden stick tightly, as if that would give him great confidence.
"People die for money, and they die for food!"
He walked briskly, quickly bypassing the main road into the village, trying to sneak into the village from the side.
The layout of the village is compact, and the traffic is strange, and the chickens and dogs smell each other. If it is a peaceful age, it must be a place where the six animals prosper.
Pity...... It's all ...... now
Meng Ke quietly crept into a house on the outermost side, which was covered with cobwebs and overgrown with weeds.
The furniture in the house was crooked and disorganized, as if it had been looted.
By the moonlight, he could even see a large dark stain on a millstone. If nothing else, there should be no doubt about the bloodstains.
He licked the corners of his chapped lips and subconsciously clenched the wooden stick in his hand, which seemed to give him the courage to continue deeper into the village.
His eyes turned away from the blood-stained stone mill and searched around the room.
There was no food, no water, and no sharp-edged objects.
Even if he guessed the result, Meng Ke was still subconsciously a little disappointed.
Second ......
The third ......
He had searched the houses in the southeastern part of the village, and found nothing but a pair of rusty scissors that had fallen under the bed.
Meng Ke curled up in the corner, the night covering his body. In the darkness, his eyes were desperate and numb, but where there was a glimmer of hope, who would want to fight hard?
"Tear Pull~"
The sound of the cloth tearing rang out in the dark room, and Meng Ke cut a strip of cloth from the only remaining single piece of clothing on his upper body, and tied the scissors to the end of the wooden stick to act as a short gun.
"Knock~" He stabbed the rudimentary weapon in his hand into the dusty bedboard, the sharp point of the scissors sank into the bedboard, and the scissors were still firmly fixed to the wooden stick.
Meng Ke gasped and pulled out the wooden stick, nodding with satisfaction.
The weapon is there, but the physical fitness is still a bit stretched. Not to mention confronting the bandits head-on, even if the scholar who is not short of food and clothing may be better than his physical strength.
Meng Ke was planning how not to alarm others to touch the room with the lights on.
Suddenly, horses neighing and screaming for mercy could be heard not far away.
By the darkness of the night, Meng Ke walked out of the house.
"It's a pity it's too far away."
Meng Ke sighed.
He couldn't see what was going on in that direction, but he could imagine it.
There's definitely a fight there.
"Whew~Whew~Whew!"
The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, blowing Meng Ke's long hair messily.
He stood in place, his eyes a little confused and hesitant.
He didn't know if he should go on or not.
But he seems to have to move on, only this way, he may be able to survive, because the only way for him to survive is to continue to move forward, keep moving forward.
His steps slowed a little, but the distant sound of soldiers colliding seemed to help him make up his mind.
Rush! Fight a good day!
"Whew~Whew~"
Hongtong's bare feet stepped over the snow, making a 'click' sound on the snow.
In the cold wind, Meng Ke's body shook twice, and the soles of his feet were already frozen unconscious.
He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace again, his body staggering and limping, as if he might fall to the ground at any moment.
The iron shears tied to the sticks were rusty and creaked as he walked against the snow.
He didn't polish off the rust, but let it be covered with filthy dirt, so that even if he failed in the end, he could let the other party go to see Lord Yama together.
Enchanted Blade, damage +1, tetanus +99, lethality +90%.
He silently cheered himself up in his heart, and through the shadows and night, he approached the courtyard in the deepest part of the village step by step.
At this moment, the sound of fighting has stopped, the courtyard door is hidden, and a glimmer of light can be faintly seen between the cracks in the door.
"Whew~!"
After Meng Ke glanced at it through the light, his pupils suddenly constricted, and his adrenaline soared.
I saw that inside the courtyard gate, a man was slumping to the ground, surrounded by three people, the strongest of the three was wielding a large knife, and the back of the knife was dripping with blood.
The next moment, the sound of chopping meat on a cutting board sounded, which was particularly harsh in the silent night.
Meng Ke's eyes widened suddenly, his heart beat violently, and his breathing fluctuated violently.
Dismemberment?! It's a dismemberment!
In the current troubled times, if it is simply to take people's lives, where is the need to divide the corpses?
They...... Or maybe they're trying to eat people......
One, two, three......
Inside the house, the knife cut long furrows on the man's body, and the man's blood slid down the knife drop by drop.
A skull rolled to the ground, blood splattered all over the ground.
In addition to the operator, the other two accomplices calmly watched this scene from the side, and there was no fear on their faces except for salivating greed.
"It's a pity that the third and fourth children didn't notice that they were killed by this person for a while."
Next to the desk, a man with a fierce expression and a beard shook his head regretfully, as if he was a little regretful.
"Second brother, what's the pity? Isn't that just two people missing to fight us for food? ”
Another man with a goatee had his eyes lit up, and his eyes were about to pop out as he looked at the flesh on the board.
