When Ren Baqian and his party entered the village, they saw that there were more than 100 stone houses arranged in a ring in the village, and in the middle of the village was a huge open space, and there were some fires or fragments of sundries in the open space, which made the village more popular.

Ren Baqian took a closer look at the houses on both sides, although it was the kind of stone house common to the ancient people, but the stones here were the same as the earth, with a mottled dark red, as if they had been stained with blood.

Pushing open the door of a stone house, there was only a wooden bed, a table, three stools, and a cupboard.

Other than that, there are two people.

Two men and women in their thirties and forties, covered in blue-gray and wearing nothing, were sitting on the bed, their eyes looking straight ahead.

Ren Baqian walked up to the two of them and looked at them, their eyes were the same as those of Fang Cai, without a trace of brilliance, like the eyes of a dead man.

Ren Baqian touched the foreheads of the two of them, there was a temperature, but it was lower than normal.

I probed my nose and breathed, but it was slow and light.

I wanted to reach out to the woman's heart to give it a heartbeat, but considering the problem that the thickness of the fat in the other party's heart is not easy to perceive the heartbeat, I finally pressed my hand on the man's heart.

The heart beats about 10 times a minute.

"What are you doing?" asked the empress as she walked into the room and saw Ren Baqian put her hand on the man's heart.

"Their heartbeats are very slow, about 10 beats a minute, compared to 80 beats in a normal person. Ren Baqian said, turning his head and saying.

The heartbeat of the ancient people is about eighty beats, probably to supply enough blood and energy to the body, so it is faster than ordinary people.

"Oh!" the Empress nodded.

"Look at the other rooms. Ren Baqian walked to the door and took the empress's hand and went out.

Seven or eight rooms were entered, and the situation in them was much the same, and in each room there were people sitting, male or female, the same unclothed, whether it was the color of the skin, the eyes of the dead man, or the condition of the body, all about the same.

If it weren't for the breathing and heartbeat, it really made Ren Baqian feel like a mud puppet.

When he entered another room, Ren Baqian suddenly said, "Has Your Majesty found a problem?"

"What?"

"There don't seem to be young people, and there are no children. Ren Baqian said with a frown.

Hearing Ren Baqian say this, the empress also remembered that the houses she had just entered were full of people over thirty or forty years old, not only did they have no children, but even young people in their teens and twenties.

One or two of these conditions are normal, but if they are all in seven or eight houses, it is not normal.

Even according to the proportion, the proportion of young people under the age of 30 and children will not be less than one-third.

After all, the lifespan of ordinary ancient people is not more than 100 years old.

"Look at ...... again" Ren Baqian entered the elementary school student mode at this time, and he had never encountered such a strange thing or such a strange village in his life, which aroused all his curiosity.

"Justice!" the empress called Justice when she went out: "Let all the rooms be inspected to see if there are any young people and children under the age of thirty." ”

Ren Baqian didn't care about the empress's arrangement, but instead pushed through the doors one by one to look, and when he walked through half of the house, news also came from the just side: "There are no young people and children in all the houses." ”

Afterwards, Ren Baqian, the empress and others found a corner in the village to rest, waiting to see what the situation was at night.

According to Yasheng's words, these people will come back to life at night.

Ren Baqian pondered for a long time while resting, and he didn't think of anything, but there were many messy and unreliable ideas.

For example, the ghost body, for example, the people here died many years ago or something.

After all, this place is very close to the Earth Yin Spring, but it is only a day's journey.

Legend has it that the Earth Yin Spring is a passage to the world of the dead.

Coupled with the weirdness in this village, Ren Baqian came to his mind.

When everyone arrived, it was already close to Shenshi, that is, it was close to 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After waiting for another two hours, night began to fall.

When the sun goes down completely, a strange smell begins to permeate the cottage.

It smells like an earthy smell.

Subsequently, various voices began to appear in the stockade, which had been silent.

The sound of stretching one's waist, the sound of talking, and the sound of sighing came from one stone house after another.

Ren Baqian's eyes kept staring at the two people who were thrown on the ground not far ahead.

As night came, the old man and the middle-aged woman opened their eyes one after another, looked around, as if they didn't see everyone, and walked towards the stone house in the village.

With the footsteps of the two of them, everyone else also came out of the room, all naked, and greeted the people around them with a somewhat stiff expression.

"Mushu, has today's prey been dealt with?"

"That was three days ago, and your memory is getting worse and worse!"

"Xu Da face, you don't have any clothes on, just shake xx and come out! Be careful that the elder beats you to death!"

"Xu Yier, aren't you going to Yacheng?

"Who saw my boy? I don't know where he ran last night, I didn't find it for a day. ”

"Auntie, do you have any wild vegetables? ”

The empress, Ren Baqian, and Feiqi looked at the suddenly "lively" village, and they all frowned.

"Your Majesty, that person should be named Xu Da Mian, others asked him that he didn't wear any clothes, but he asked when the other person was going to Yacheng...... These people's conversations don't match at all, they are not talking at all, they are talking about something that has been predetermined in advance. Ren Baqian patted the back of the empress's hand and said.

The empress nodded, no need for Ren Baqian to say, she could see it.

However, Ren Baqian is more familiar with this phenomenon than the empress.

This reminded him of NPCs in the game.

Speak exactly according to the set routine.

That's how the people in the stockade felt him.

"It's a little weird!" said Justice as he stood aside and embraced. "There are so many of us here, and none of these people have seen it. ”

Soon, one of the phenomena attracted the attention of Ren Baqian and others.

Thirty or forty people marched out in a group towards the outside of the stockade.

"Follow along. Ren Baqian immediately jumped up from the ground.

Ren Baqian and the others did not shy away from it, so they passed through the middle of the stockade and followed the group out of the stockade.

After walking for about half an hour, the men stopped in a place full of pits and dug their hands into the ground around them.

Soon, Ren Baqian knew what these people were digging.

A bug with the length of a child's arm and a cyan body.

The men grabbed the wriggling worms in their hands, each of them five or six in both hands, and then stood in a line and walked back towards the stockade as before.

All the while, the people were still saying something according to the established procedure.

Uncanny!

Looking at those people, Ren Baqian's hairs stood up.
