Inside Sun Yong's house.

After some speculation just now. I thought about what if the "time" of the rainy village was not quite the same as the "time" we understood before. Can it be explained so far. All the weird things happening? Let's say the car keeps going downhill, and after a long, long time, we don't feel hungry, we don't feel convenient, and so on.

Of course, these questions are very esoteric and complex to think about, and I'm not a physicist, so just think about it and forget it.

After all, Xiao Qicai's statement is just an assumption, in addition to the armillary sphere, there may be other relatively simple timers in this village, which are also calculated by the saying of "week". We just don't know.

So next. While they were still analyzing the armillary sphere, I sneaked out of bed. Walk out of the house, into the hall, and carefully look at everything around you. At this time, I saw the big black pot on the stove, and suddenly I had an idea, "Suppose we come here, the concept of time is really different from what we usually understand, so we don't feel hungry, why do people in this village need to eat?" This pot is supposed to be for cooking and eating, right? In addition to being a little mysterious, this Sun Yong is secretive about some questions, avoiding answers, and his appearance is no different from other ordinary people, people always have to eat when they should eat, so I think maybe we think too much, maybe we have experienced a lot of strange things. Therefore, I always like to think about very simple things into complicated ones. ”

Thinking of this, I was going to walk over to see what was in the big black cauldron, and I was also curious about what these people were eating. I always feel that Sun Yong does have some secrets, otherwise I asked them just now if they had a market or something. Why don't you answer it?

Next, I just walked in front of the big black cauldron, just stretched out my hand, and before I could lift the lid of the pot, suddenly there was a "swoop" sound behind me, as if something was rushing towards my back. At the same time, I suddenly heard a sound similar to the screams of human beings in great pain!

I turned my head quickly, and all I felt was a flower in front of me. Then a cat-sized creature stretched out its claws and scratched at my face!

I subconsciously stepped back, covering my face with my arm, and the next moment, I heard a "plop" sound, and my arm was grabbed by the strange animal and a few not-so-deep bloody wounds. At the same time, Little Colorful heard the movement and hurriedly ran out, and when they saw it, everyone gathered around and asked me if I was okay, and then, together we turned our eyes to the creature that scratched me!

At this moment, it was lying quietly on the ground, looking at us with cold eyes, not afraid of people at all.

The appearance of the creature is indeed about the same size as an ordinary, domestic cat, about 30~40 cm long, with large, rabbit-like ears, and a few brown spots scattered on the gray fur. In terms of appearance, this creature looks like a mouse, and a bit like a rabbit, and looks a little cute, but I don't know why, when those eyes are staring at us, they are motionless, revealing a fierce light, especially the cry of this thing, it is very strange to listen to in the ears, just like the screams of human beings, if you don't see the appearance of this thing, it is impossible to associate the sound just now with the animal in front of you anyway.

But what the hell is this thing?

When Xiao Qicai helped me check the injury, Shen Xiaoxi looked at it for a long time and judged, "This thing should be the Ili pika, only Xinjiang has it in the world, and the number of them in the world is less than 2,500, which is an endangered animal." ”

As soon as the words fell, what was the thing called a pika, suddenly turned around and ran away. It is very agile, jumping up and down, and running very fast.

Shen Xiaoxi said worriedly, "Although the Ili pika has a cute appearance, according to the legends of some areas of Xinjiang, this thing is a murderous thing, and once it appears, it means ......" Speaking of this, Shen Xiaoxi paused, and Feng Tiansong immediately asked very cooperatively, "What does it mean?" ”

Shen Xiaoxi took a deep breath and said word by word, "It means that it is going to ...... Or have already begun to die! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that the expression on their faces was a little stiff.

Feng Tiansong rubbed his hands, smiled reluctantly, and said, "I never believed in this kind of thing. How can there be so many bizarre claims, and don't you think it's a bit funny to impose such cruel claims on a very cute little animal? Human beings have never lacked the ability to scare themselves, what fierce things, ominous, taboo...... I don't believe any of them! ”

Feng Tiansong said that he didn't believe it, but the face with sunglasses still looked around a little uneasy and nervous. After noticing anything abnormal, Feng Tiansong breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and patted me on the shoulder, and asked, "How are you?" ”

I looked at the bloody mouth on my arm, and it had begun to coagulate. "It's okay, it's not serious." I'm just wondering, since it's an endangered animal, how can it be in this village? ”

Feng Tiansong said, "Don't think about it so much, let's take one step at a time, I can see it now, the so-called once it comes, it will be safe, and it is not good for me to think nonsense, and we will let Sun Yong take us to find those who come from other places like us, ask them, maybe we can get some clues." ”

"Okay!" Later, we walked back into the house. As I walked, I kept stealing my eyes to the big black cauldron, although my curiosity still existed, but after what happened just now, I felt that it was better to have more than one thing, and try not to touch Sun Yong's things again, otherwise it would really attract something more weird, and it would be even worse! ”

……

After returning to the house, we chatted for a while, I don't know how long, we even felt a little sleepy, and when we wanted to sleep, Sun Yong finally came back from outside.

As soon as he pushed open the door and walked in, he kept panting, wiping the sweat from his face, and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting too long......

The sharp-eyed Shen Xiaoxi pointed to the corner of his clothes, and suddenly asked, "Why is there something red on your clothes, is it blood?" Looks like it's spilled! ”

As soon as she said this, we immediately looked at Sun Yong carefully. Sure enough, a faint red color was found underneath the clothes, but it was impossible to determine whether it was blood or not.

Sun Yong was stunned for a moment, but quickly looked down at his clothes and said with a smile, "Is it blood?" I don't know, maybe I got it before, right? You know, people in the village do work such as chopping wood or something, they will always come into contact with some sharp weapons, and they may accidentally injure themselves, and they don't even know it, alas......"

Shen Xiaoxi looked at Sun Yong deeply and said, "So that's the case, I'm sorry, I just asked casually." ”

Sun Yong waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" You're all rested, aren't you? Let's go, take you to meet the tourists who came with you, the rain has stopped outside, the weather can be better, can you go? ”

"Go!" Feng Tiansong and Du Lei stood up from the kang and replied.

Walking out of the door, Shen Xiaoxi pulled Feng Tiansong aside. Little Colorful also pulled me aside, at this time my eyes occasionally met Durley's gaze, and found that he had been staring at me and Little Colorful, but when he met my gaze, he quickly turned his head with a complicated face, pretending that nothing happened.

Xiao Qicai leaned close to my ear and said quickly, "The blood stains on Sun Yong's body look bright red, not dark red, I feel that it should have been splashed just now!" He just said to work, what kind of work is he doing? Why is it splashed with blood, he is clearly lying to us, why is he lying? ”

At this time, Sun Yong, who was walking in front, turned his head, looked at us curiously, and said, "What are you muttering, let's go!" Shen Xiaoxi and Xiao Qicai immediately shrank their heads for a while.

I was distraught by what Xiao Qicai had just said, I felt that this village was too awkward for me, and suddenly I had the idea of leaving here immediately. I guess what Shen Xiaoxi and Feng Tiansong said just now should be similar to these contents.

Sun Yong saw that we were walking too slowly, and urged, "Let's go." ”

We involuntarily and collectively quickened the pace. However, I noticed that everyone in the room was walking a little unnaturally.

…… Killed in action.

As I passed by the rows of thatched huts of other people in the village, I took a look at the environment. Although the rain has stopped at this moment, it is true that as Sun Yong said before, this village is shrouded in a gray weather all year round, and the faces of each villager look like they are covered with a black gas, I can't say that kind of feeling, anyway, I feel that these people's faces are dark, for my understanding, only people with kidney deficiency in the city will have this kind of complexion, which represents the lack of yang, and it may be related to the weather and environment here, after all, if you don't see sunlight all year round, it is also very normal for kidney yang to be insufficient.

After turning a few corners, I noticed another detail.

Although the villagers here are all relatively old and have rough skin, the strange thing is that there is a big difference in the appearance of their facial features.

Some people have a high nose bridge and blue eyes.

There are also people who are well-defined and have brown eyes.

Others have curly hair and thicker lips.

These people wear similar clothes, but their facial features give people the feeling that they are clearly like people of different races, improvised together!

In other words, it's as if people from all over the globe and of all origins are gathered here.

I wanted to ask this question, but Sun Yong quickly took the initiative to explain to us, "The history of Yinyu Village is not long, at most about 20 years, so many of them are tourists from outside, and they don't want to leave after living here for a long time, so they stay here." So the lineage of this village is more complicated, and there are even a lot of half-breeds, as you can see......"

Hearing this, I felt even more that something was wrong.
