There is a case!

Zhou Zhen immediately became alert.

If it was a normal situation, there was such a movement in the kitchen, he must have immediately hid away.

However, this is the village chief's house.

And his current identity is the youngest son of the village chief's family, Ji Li!

This identity is the best talisman!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen stood by the door, stretched out his hand, and very carefully pushed open the kitchen door.

The back of the door was pitch black, with no lights, only a few rays of moonlight leaking out of the palm-sized window, illuminating the approximate outline.

The kitchen is a rectangular room, with an earthen stove and adobe cabinets on the outside, and next to the cabinet is a large water tank that every peasant household has.

The tank is covered with a heavy wooden lid that is organically enclosed inside, and the outer half can be opened separately, and on top of the lid is a water scoop made of gourd cut.

Since most of the things were made of earth, even in the bright moonlight, the whole stove still looked dusty.

The door slowly opened, and the field of view widened.

The layout of the entire kitchen is presented in front of you, except for the earthen stove and cabinet at the entrance, and going inside, there is a row of fences, which have sinks and troughs, which seem to be used to close something.

It's quiet inside, it's cleaned, and there's nothing out of the ordinary.

The chewing sound I heard just now disappeared, as if it were a hallucination.

Zhou Zhen frowned and immediately looked at the ground.

On the solid muddy floor, the traces of the fine broom swept were faintly recognizable, and the blood that had just flowed out of the crack in the door did not leave a trace.

It seems that everything is his delusion.

Knowing that the situation was wrong, Zhou Zhen did not flinch at all, moved his steps, and slowly walked into the kitchen.

The walls and roof of this room were carefully painted to protect them from the wind and rain, but a few clumps of thatch were still stuffed in the windows to block them, and the cold wind blew in through the cracks, and the whole stove was very cold, like an ice cellar.

Zhou Zhen's body subconsciously curled up slightly, he walked quickly to the edge of the stove, stood on tiptoe, and pulled the lid on the outside cauldron, trying to find food.

The pot was empty, washed clean, and there was nothing.

Zhou Zhen opened the back pot and the small pot again, checked the whole stove, and confirmed that there was no food, he came to the adobe masonry cabinet, this kind of cabinet, in addition to placing dishes and chopsticks, is to store some leftovers that cannot be eaten for the time being, or the materials for the food that needs to be made the next day.

But Zhou Zhen searched carefully inside, and found nothing except a few stoneware vessels.

The kitchen was simply furnished, and Zhou Zhen quickly searched for it, but found no food except for the cold water in the water tank, not even raw rice and wheat were nowhere to be found.

This made Zhou Zhen's brows furrow.

But he soon remembered that there were many poultry in the village chief's house.

As the son of the village chief's family, he should have no problem eating a chicken.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen glanced at the fence in the kitchen, according to reason, those poultry should be driven into this fence at night, and they will be released during the day.

But for some reason, the fence is now empty, and there is not a single poultry.

So, Zhou Zhen pushed open the kitchen door, returned to the main house, and after coming to the main entrance of the thatched house, he pulled the latch little by little, planning to go to the yard to have a look.

"Wang! Barking!! ”

Just when Zhou Zhen carefully took off the latch and opened the wooden door little by little, there was a violent dog barking sound outside the door!

The night that had been extremely quiet was broken in an instant.

Zhou Zhen's face changed, and his body, which had just flashed through the slit, immediately retreated.

Outside the door, the watchdog was still barking: "Wangwang!" ”

It was a black and white country dog, chained to the door on a leash and only able to move around a certain area.

Zhou Zhen frowned and looked at the housekeeper dog, his current identity is Ji Li, the youngest son of the village chief's family.

Theoretically, he should be the little owner of the dog.

However, this dog is now barking extremely fiercely, and if it is not tied to a leash, it will even rush up to attack, and it seems that he does not recognize his owner at all!

After thinking about it, Zhou Zhen quickly closed the door, but the barking of the watchdog did not stop, but continued to bark in the night: "Wangwangwang...... Wangwang...... Woooo ”

Zhou Zhen was in a stalemate with the watchdog for a moment through the door, and found that in addition to the dog's barking becoming more and more fierce, everything seemed to be normal in the village chief's house, and no one had the intention of coming out to check.

So, Zhou Zhen reopened the door, and the watchdog barking at the gate suddenly barked even harder.

He glanced at the dog, walked out directly against the door frame on the other side, bypassed the side, and walked in the direction of the back of the house.

When playing the game of "touching the blind", Zhou Zhen had already seen the layout of the courtyard of the village chief's house.

At that time, except for the back of the house, there was no other area to hold the poultry, and if the poultry was in the yard at night, then the most likely place was the back of the house.

Thinking quietly in his heart, Zhou Zhen quickened his pace and came to the back of the thatched house.

However, it was empty, and there were no chickens, ducks and geese to be seen.

Zhou Zhen suddenly felt very strange, why is there nothing in this village chief's house?

Woohoo!

Woo Woo Woo Woo ...... Woohoo!!

The watchdog was still barking hoarsely, as if he didn't know how tired he was.

Zhou Zhen walked around the thatched hut, but he didn't see any trace of poultry at all, and he couldn't find any other food.

He wanted to go to the hedged garden to pick some vegetables to wrap his belly, but the idea arose and was immediately dispelled.

The scene of picking vegetables in the yard of the thatched hut where he lived was turned into dirt made him instinctively wary of the vegetables in this garden.

WhewW......

Just as he was thinking quickly, a cold wind blew, Zhou Zhen suddenly shuddered, and subconsciously hugged his arms.

He had been feeling hungry, cold and tired in the thatched hut where he woke up, essentially this body, which had not eaten for a long time!

He must eat something now!

Moreover, the fact that he was able to figure out the situation so quickly this time, successfully suppressed the main personality, and came out of this body was mainly because he was too familiar with the disease of [split personality].

But it is precisely because of familiarity that he knows very well that the time for him to come out will not be long!

It was as if Chu Jingyan had come out of his body before, and he could only last for a battle, and then he would return to that classroom......

In addition, during the period when Chu Jingyan occupied his body at that time, all the "digital domain" and "digital energy" absorbed by Chu Jingyan belonged to Chu Jingyan's personality.

Therefore, when he occupies this body, all the energy he receives is also his own!

Seeing that there was no food around, and the cold wind was still howling, Zhou Zhen had to go back to the thatched house.

The wind was blowing, quickly taking away the warmth on Zhou Zhen's body, and Zhou Zhen suddenly felt a chill, like thousands of steel knives piercing his skin.

Woohoo!

Woohoo Woo Woo Woo T

The watchdog was still there and continued to bark, Zhou Zhen bypassed it, and when he was about to enter the house, he suddenly thought of something......

The next moment, he walked quickly into the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife that flashed with cold light.

Zhou Zhen walked straight to the watchdog.

The watchdog's bark suddenly became extremely high-pitched, and after a short period of time, it turned sharply into a whimper full of grief and indignation, and finally came to an abrupt end.

Click...... Click...... Click......

In the night, the barking of dogs, which had just been fierce, turned into a low and crisp chopping movement, faintly mixed with the sound of liquid splashing.

※※※

To the north of the village, in the thatched hut with goats tethered to the side houses, the moonlight peeked through the cracks, and the bright light outlined three figures.

Knock knock!

The knocking continued, the crisp knock like gravel thrown into a pond, rippling in the night.

One of the three figures in the room was lying behind the door, looking out through the crack in the door.

Outside the door stood a thin child, as plain-looking, as inconspicuous as a village boy everywhere, with a black mole on his neck, which was exceptionally clear in the cold moonlight, and on his immature face, his black hole eyes were dark and terrifying.

The figure watched carefully, but did not say a word.

At this time, the child outside the door seemed to notice something, and his eyeballless sockets suddenly approached the crack in the door, and also looked at the figure lying on the crack in the door.

The two sides looked at each other through the gap in the wooden door.

The figure lying on the crack of the door was suddenly startled, and his body instinctively wanted to retreat, but as soon as he made a move, he was immediately firmly held down by a strong arm.

At the same time, a low and hoarse voice came from behind him: "Don't move! ”

"Close your eyes slowly."

The figure lying on the crack of the door immediately did so, forcing himself to stay still and remain motionless, while closing his eyes little by little.

The next moment, he suddenly realized that his hands seemed to be grasping something.

Bang!

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a very strong force next to him, and suddenly pushed him.

He was immediately pushed and fell to the ground.

As soon as it touched the solid ground, the figure immediately opened its eyes, and saw its two companions, one of them swooping down behind the gate, dead against the gate; The other slowly withdrew his hand, the source of the force that had just pushed him away.

Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock......

The knocking continued, and the sturdy latch that had just been tied to it had been halfway open, I don't know when.

The figure who pushed him away immediately walked over and re-fastened the latch.

Bang bang bang!

Ping Pong!

The knocking on the door gradually turned into a slamming sound, and the wooden door was smashed so loudly that it almost jumped.

After a while, the voice faded and finally died down.

It was only by this time that the three people in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The figure who was still sitting on the ground immediately said, "The one who knocked on the door was a child I had never seen before." ”

"I just glanced out the door, and I didn't want to open it."

The figure who was holding against the gate gasped and asked very seriously, "What are the characteristics of that little child?" ”

"Did he make any strange moves?"

The figure sitting on the ground quickly replied, "It was a little boy with no eyes and a black mole on his neck. ”

"Nothing else."

Hearing this, the other two nodded, and the figure who had just pushed away his companion said, "From now on, the three of us will take turns to keep vigil." ”

"When there is a knock on the door, at least two people must be awake!"

Both companions nodded: "Good!" ”

※※※

The village chief's house.

Stove room.

The kitchen that had just been quiet was in full swing at the moment, the fire in the stove was blazing, and the three pots on the stove were filled with water, and they were constantly spitting bubbles at the moment.

The water is boiling.

Zhou Zhen stood by the stove, tiptoeing, and poured the cut dog meat into the three pots at will.

This village chief's guard dog has a fierce temperament and is not weak in combat effectiveness, but after all, he is tied to a rope, and his range of activities is so large.

Zhou Zhen calculated the opponent's attack distance just now, and easily hacked the dog to death with a kitchen knife.

However, after this toss, Zhou Zhen also felt extremely weak.

After throwing the dog meat into the pot, Zhou Zhen sat behind the stove and added firewood and straw to it while roasting the fire to keep warm.

The crimson light of the fire shone on his face, staining the pale complexion with a hint of blood.

Not long after cooking, a rich aroma of meat came out.

Zhou Zhen swallowed his saliva suddenly, immediately got up, came to the adobe masonry cabinet, and turned out a washed pottery Wan.

He knew in his heart that after only cooking for so long, the dog meat might not be fully cooked, let alone easy to eat.

But the time for him to come out may be almost up, and if he doesn't eat, he will go back hungry......

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen pulled the lid of the pot with a little effort, and quickly filled himself with a bowl of broth, as well as two pieces of meat with more meat and less bones, and after blowing it slightly, he couldn't wait to drink the soup.

With the hot soup in his stomach, Zhou Zhen suddenly felt a lot warmer in his body.

He picked up another piece of meat and began to eat it.

The meat was obviously not cooked thoroughly, but Zhou Zhen soon found that his teeth seemed to be very sharp, and when he took a bite, he directly bit the bones in the meat belt and clicked, crushing the food very easily and swallowing it.

Click...... Click......

Zhou Zhen enjoyed chewing the dog meat very much, and even the meat with bones was ground into slag by his teeth.

The meat was really not cooked thoroughly, and with his movements, the blood in it quietly oozed out, slowly sliding down the corners of his mouth.

This pot of dog meat did not use any means and materials to remove the fish, Zhou Zhen originally thought that the taste would be extremely fishy and difficult to swallow, but when he really ate it, he found that it was very suitable for his appetite.

He quickly finished the two pieces of meat in the bowl, and without hesitation, quickly stood on tiptoe and filled himself with a large bowl of meat and soup.

Thereupon......

Click......

Click...... Click......

Click-click-click......

Throughout the kitchen, there was a clear sound of chewing.

Blood flowed down between Zhou Zhen's teeth, gurgling out of the corners of his mouth, dripping to the ground, and quietly converging......

I'm going to the hospital soon, and I'm going to come back after hanging up the water and continue writing.

The timing of the second shift is uncertain.
