Chapter 171: Strange Phenomenon
If you don't have a map, you don't know the way, how do you go? It doesn't matter, as long as the direction is right, you can force a way out of the road.
Huo'er followed Lu Mi to climb over the mountains and mountains, trek through mountains and rivers, and threw away his enthusiasm for eating chicken to Java. Its head is now full of resentment: when will it be able to take a normal path.
Along the way, they passed through several villages and several small towns, although the scale was not as big as Laiding Town, but it was not small.
But both these villages and towns are depressed, and the people are yellow-skinned and skinny.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is the day when the people in the human world have an annual carnival and full of food, and no matter how poor the family is, two taels of meat and a pound of oil can be prepared. And now is not an era of war and strife, forcing the people to live in poverty. So, it's very abnormal, very abnormal.
In the evening of that day, Lu Mi and Huo'er arrived at a small village with about 30 families. It was supposed to be a lively rural evening, but the chickens did not crow, the dogs did not bark, the chimneys were silent, and there was no sense of popularity.
"Squeak!" the fire screamed excitedly at the sight of the village.
Having a village means having delicious food, and it follows Lu Qiqi who has been eating bark and grass roots for many days, and his eyes are almost green. It had to hurry into the village and find something to eat to fill its battered stomach.
Just as it jumped three feet high and wanted to slip in, it suddenly felt its tail tighten, and then it was vigorously dragged to the ground.
When he turned around, it was Lu Qiqi who bit its tail and didn't let it in.
"Wow squeak. Huo'er waved his limbs and body in dissatisfaction and screamed at Lu Yu.
Why don't you let it in, because you're afraid that it will be too fast and grab all the good things first? It's too much, and before you see it, you start to suppress your opponent.
Lu Qiqi scoffed at its careful thoughts, does a god like her need to compete with a little fox everywhere for food? This is too underestimating her.
Huo'er didn't know the inexplicable sense of superiority in her heart, so she saw the right time, kicked her back foot, and kicked Lu Qi, who was biting her tail, into the sky. Then, with the joy of victory, he ran to the nearest house.
Probably the people in this village are relatively poor, and there is no cured meat in front of the door. Huo'er was not polite, and directly slammed open the false door.
When people are happy, accidents always come unexpectedly, and after Huo'er saw the situation inside the door, he screamed, turned around and ran. ran all the way to Lu Mi's side, and without thinking about it, he put his head under Lu Mi's stomach, holding Lu Mi and shaking like chaff.
Although Huo'er is young, as the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, ignorance is fearlessness, what can scare it like this. Lu Mi looked into the room in surprise, and suddenly felt that his soul was scattered, and a cold breath rose on his back.
There were five or six men and women in the room, but none of them were alive, and the strange thing was that they all maintained their last posture before they died. A woman sat at the table with a toddler in her arms, originally feeding the child, a little girl with pigtails sat on the other side, serving soup into her bowl, a little boy wearing a cotton hat snuggled up next to his grandmother and walked to the kitchen together, and the most frightening thing was a middle-aged man who was opening the door, his body was straight and leaning, his eyes were wide and staring ahead, Huo'er was so frightened by him that he turned around and ran.
The biggest thing these people have in common is that they are all very thin, thin as dry wood, whether they are young or old, there seems to be no flesh under the skin of the wrinkled old bark, only a thin layer of skin wrapped around the bones.
It seems that they have all been drained of flesh and blood in an instant, and the whole village is quiet, so it can be speculated that other families should be similar, that is to say, there are only dead people in this village, and there are no living mouths.
What kind of grudge, what kind of grudge, need to slaughter the village, Lu Mi's scalp exploded, and quickly arched the fire that was still hiding under her belly, and signaled to leave quickly.
The frightened Huo'er couldn't wait to leave this terrifying place as soon as possible, and hurriedly ran in front of Lu Qi, as if there was a ghost chasing it behind.
