Although Lu Xuan is old, his eyesight is not bad, he saw that figure from a distance, and saw some sparse hair on the other party's body, full of scales, and his early memories resurfaced.

"It should be right, except for the children of the old turtle village, no one looks like this, and they come out to dig wild radish roots in winter. ”

Lu Laoba looked at it carefully and sighed slightly.

Just listening to these words, you know that there is something strange about this so-called old turtle village.

Decades have passed, and Lu Xuan can still recall this village when he sees it, which is enough to prove its specialness.

The old turtle village has a bit of origin, in Lu Xuan's youth, there are many villagers in this village suffering from strange diseases, this strange disease is called the turtle disease, people who suffer from this turtle disease, even if they are young children, the appearance looks like loose skin, sparse hair, rickets, scales, just like fish turtle turtles.

In fact, the name Lao Turtle Village also came from this.

Because of this strange disease, people say that the people of the old turtle village have offended the gods, so the villagers of the old turtle village are quite rejected by outsiders, in the past, Lu Xuan because of his own crossing, plus he carried an extraordinary treasure, so he had a little idea, doubting whether this turtle disease really involves demons and monsters, and went to see it in person, but he didn't find anything unusual, guessing that it was probably just a genetic disease.

However, this year, the world is not bad, the old turtle village is ostracized, and there are always many normal people, how can they not let a child run out to dig wild vegetable roots in this winter.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Lu Laoba said: "Brother Xuan, you haven't been back for many years, I don't know, since you left, there have been more and more people suffering from that strange disease in Lao Turtle Village.

In this case, outsiders can't avoid it, where they dare to have any contact, even the merchants passing by, and they don't dare to collect the catch of the old turtle village, the catch can't be sold, and there is no other livelihood, let alone the village, and it is difficult to live in this winter. ”

"Now there are only about 30 people left in the old turtle village, and this winter is over, I am afraid that there will be some dead and injured, and maybe in a few years, the village will no longer exist. ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh, but he remembered an old man in the past, so his heart moved.

"Ah Yun, you take the three of him back to the village first, and then settle them in Lao Ba's house, and I'm going to go to Lao Turtle Village to have a look. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Lu Xuan's whimsical words, Zhou Yun was a little inexplicable.

"Brother Xuan, what are you doing in the old turtle village?"

Lu Laoba couldn't help but ask, he knew that Lu Xuan was not a person with no purpose, and there must be some purpose for this trip, could it be that he heard about the tragic situation of Lao Turtle Village and wanted to help?

He didn't doubt this, although Lu Xuan acted domineering in his early years, he was also a little kind-hearted, and often helped some people in need, if it weren't for this, after the death of his brother-in-law Zhou Qing, Lu Ying's family was also sad and peaceful, including some old people's care.

Lu Xuan shook his head and did not answer.

"Ah Yun, give me the hunting knife. ”

Lu Xuan asked for the hunting knife from Zhou Yun's hand, and then divided the wild deer into two halves.

"Do you still have dry food with you?"

"It's all gone. ”

Zhou Yun shook his head.

Lu Xuan didn't ask much immediately, turned to half of the wild deer on his back, and said: "I have something to do in Lao Turtle Village, Ah Yun, you take someone back first, take care of the three of them, they are locked by me, and they have no strength in a day or two, if anyone comes to find someone before I come back, let you come out and drag me back." ”

After speaking, seeing Zhou Yun nodding, he walked towards the child who was digging with his things.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other, just waiting for Zhou Yun and Lu Laoba's orders.

"That's it, your uncle has his own plans, let him go by himself, go back to the village first, your family is still worried now. ”

Although Zhou Yun was worried about whether it would be inappropriate for his uncle to be at his age, but thinking of Lu Xuan's skills, he was much more powerful than his nephew, who was in the prime of life, and as Lu Laoba said, they were injured, and the old mother, wife and daughter at home were still worried, so they had to go back first.

So he didn't say anything more and set off straight.

……

But he said that Lu Xuan, passing through the snow forest, and didn't want to spend internal force to shake away the ice and snow, the sloppy robe on his body didn't know how much snow water was stained, and it was a little wet, but he didn't care, and walked towards the slow child in the old turtle village.

When I looked closer, I saw that the child was wearing a rotten skin, with many holes leaking out of his body, no shoes on his feet, sparse hair on the top of his head, some dysentery, his skin was full of wrinkles, and some ringworm like scales could be seen.

Lu Xuan was about to speak, but as soon as he approached, the child heard the movement he made, and suddenly raised his head like a frightened little beast.

The moment he saw Lu Xuan, he ran away in a panic.

Lu Xuan was stunned and hurriedly chased after him, but he didn't dare to chase too fast, for fear that the child would be too frightened and fall into some hole.

Lu Xuan hung from afar, the child looked back from time to time, saw him following, did not dare to slow down, ran for about a quarter of an hour, there was a dilapidated and dead village in front of him, the thatched house seemed to have not been repaired for many years, there were no mountains and forests around, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, like a wilderness. I can't even hear the movement of people's lives, it's silent, and it doesn't seem to have any life.

But the boy jumped somewhere and disappeared.

Lu Xuan looked at the village and was stunned for a while, before sighing slightly.

Compared with the changes in Jiangtou Village, the old turtle village can be said to be a vicissitudes of life.

You must know that Lu Xuan also came to the old turtle village back then, although there were people in the old turtle village back then, but there were still a few, the old turtle village is no different from Jiangtou Village, but because of the strange disease, no outsiders dare to come here.

But now, I see that there is still a little bit of human existence.

"Dare to ask if there are still people living in the village?"

Lu Xuan walked into the village and shouted.

After a while, I heard a sparse voice, and in a short time, among these dilapidated houses, there were figures with rickety and thin bodies, all covered in wrinkled skin ringworm, like hungry ghosts.

On top of the shriveled and ugly faces, a pair of deep sunken eye sockets looked at Lu Xuan directly.

Or the half of the wild deer with blood on his shoulder.

Even if he is already old, he has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this strange scene.

If it weren't for the strength of the martial arts, he would be able to hear the breath of these figures clearly, but he was afraid that he would think that he was seeing some demons and monsters.

Subconsciously took two steps back, and in an instant, he threw half of the wild deer on the snow in front of him, and the wild deer fell to the ground, blood splashed inside, and the smell of blood suddenly diffused.

And at this moment, the aura of those figures was a screen, and the next moment, one by one, they seemed to use all their strength to rush towards the half of the wild deer carcass.
