Now the village is wrapped in gray mist, the cold wind is biting, every house is closed, and the whole village is enveloped in cold fog.

After Liang Qing investigated the situation of the gray fog, he went home with Song Yao and met the patrol team organized by the village.

The leader was the village chief, and when he saw the two of them, he greeted: "Xiao Liang, also go out to investigate?" ”

Liang Qing nodded, "That's right, I went to see if the fog had dispersed this time, if it continued, maybe there would be any danger running out of the fog, and I wasn't too worried." ”

The village chief took a puff of dry smoke and sighed: "It's the same, the fog doesn't disperse these days, and even the gray queen can't see it." Alas, I don't know what year it is, and there are some bizarre and strange things. ”

During these days, the village chief was also very busy, lost contact with the outside world, and could only rely on himself to make decisions about many things.

Fortunately, Liang Qing and Song Yao, two young people, were in the village, and they had collected all kinds of information before the volcano erupted, so that the old village chief knew about the outside world.

Suddenly, a piercing scream came from the west end of the village, "Help! ”

Hearing this, everyone was anxious and hurried to the west of the village.

At the west end of the village was a former elementary school, but with the outflow of people, the primary school has no longer function, and has been transformed into a place for the elderly to live, and now lives several families whose houses collapsed due to floods and heavy rains.

Liang Qing and Song Yao glanced at each other and rushed over, wanting to see what was going on.

When they arrived, a dense mass of black crows flew down in the air, and landed on the eaves, looking extremely terrifying in the drowsy mist.

The cry for help was a middle-aged woman who was sitting on the ground crying while holding her husband.

Seeing that the old village chief had arrived, she seemed to have a backbone, and tears flowed out even more.

"Village chief, you have to make the decision for us, our husband and wife are honest, only for one child to go to college, and I haven't done anything bad at all, but my old Liu was suddenly targeted, and when he went out to chop wood, he was hit with two paws on the head, and he fell unconscious not long after he came back."

"I don't know who it is, who has a grudge against our old Liu, and actually made such a ruthless hand. Woo woo, how can I live? ”

Her voice cried miserably, but the body of her husband in her arms slowly cooled.

The old village chief comforted her and said, "Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, don't worry, let's see what's going on first." Although the natural disaster came, everyone now has a reserve of food at home, and there is no shortage of food for one or two. ”

"Besides, I told you not to go out of the village to work in the fields casually, especially if there is gray fog, you see that you are disobedient, and now that something has happened, who do you talk to?"

The daughter-in-law of the Liu family slowly wiped her tears: "I don't know, during the heavy rain, our family's food was ruined. Lao Liu saw that the weather was getting colder day by day, and wanted to chop more firewood and exchange some food from other people in the village, so he secretly went out. ”

The old village chief didn't know what to say.

Since Liang Qing showed him about the tragic situation outside, he had to believe that something good would happen after the gray fog came, so he asked the villagers not to go out to work, and only when the gray fog disappeared could they go out to chop wood in a group.

He knew that Lao Liu was a stubborn species, and he usually didn't listen to what he said, but he didn't expect to be confused at this time, and he lost his life in vain.

He called Song Yao over: "Xiao Song, you have studied as a doctor, show Uncle Liu what is going on." also let your Aunt Liu understand. ”

Song Yao stood over, Aunt Liu slowly let go of her hand, and several people from the patrol team slowly set her up and helped her back to the house.

Lao Liu's body was also carried to the door.

The daughter-in-law of the Liu family cried and cried: "When your Uncle Liu came back, he said that he saw several figures, dancing, originally he thought that other people came out to chop wood, but it was just to scare and scare him, so he yelled at them. Na Cheng thought that those things gave you Uncle Liu a slap, and there were only three claws on his head, which were scratched by people at a glance. ”

Song Yao carefully observed the wounds of the middle-aged man on the ground, and there were three black-red scratches on his wrinkled brows, as if they had been scratched by someone who had suddenly raised a claw.

But how can modern people generally have such long nails, and this depth of nearly two or three centimeters is very much like some kind of claw.

Liang Qing also squatted down and observed Uncle Liu's injury, he had no other wounds all over his body, only the three on his forehead, even if it was scratched by a person, it should not be killed so quickly, it should be caused by something else.

"What the hell is this? Could it be brought by the gray mist? ”

Song Yao shook his head, "Not necessarily, maybe it's just a beast on the mountain that came out, and Uncle Liu was scratched by them." But the average beast is not so aggressive, except in some large brown bears. ”

"But there are no such large beasts in the original mountain, and if there are, there will only be some small animals, such as wild monkeys."

Liang Qing compared, these three paw prints are relatively narrow, and it is indeed likely to be monkeys.

So he nodded and said, "That's possible." Is it because of the loss of sunlight and the lack of food on the mountain, this group of monkeys in the deep mountains had to come farther away to look for food, so they bumped into Uncle Liu and had a conflict. ”

However, small animals should not be fatal, there is only another possibility, and that is that the monkeys have also mutated.

Avoiding Aunt Liu, Song Yao told the old village chief about this speculation.

The old village chief smoked two dry cigarettes and sighed, "That should be it." We once said that we wanted to build a nature reserve, but later it was not done due to some factors. I do know that there are some monkeys in the mountains, and among the older generation, they have heard that they will come out to forage for food in disaster years, and sometimes rob the granaries of village people like bandits. ”

Speaking of this, the old village chief patted his thigh and stood up, "Suffer, then I have to inform all the families in the village of this matter as soon as possible." The place where the grain was originally stored would definitely not be much safer, and the monkey guys had a sensitive nose, and they could repair a little bit of food. ”

Liang Qing nodded, "Okay, then I'll help too." And this group of monkeys may belong to a mutated species, Uncle Liu was injured by his claws, so there may be some toxicity in it, and everyone must be reminded to pay more attention to safety and try not to have a hard time with this group of things. ”

The other members of the patrol also understood the importance of the current situation and quickly took action. (End of chapter)
