Chapter Ninety-Five: The Mysterious Village
Lao Dao fluttered in the lake several times before he surfaced, spit out a mouthful of lake water and raised his eyebrows: "The poor road is not watery, you are trying to murder." ”
Luoluo patted his paws and smiled: "You are a camel spirit, and you can't die, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go down to the bottom of the lake to see." ”
Li Mo looked at Lao Dao, who was about to climb to the shore of the lake, and said, "If you come up now, I will kick you down again if you come up once." ”
Lao Dao's expression is very exciting, is this cute little girl still human, and actually forced a camel to dive to investigate the enemy. But in the end, he still didn't dare to disobey, he stayed at the bottom of the lake for a while and resurfaced, and said: "There is nothing special at the bottom, except for the fish, the sand of the lake, and the aquatic plants." ”
Li Mo asked: "What about the underground tunnel, is there no one?"
"No, I swear to God that there really isn't anything abnormal underneath, if I lie, I will be a single person for the rest of my life, and I will never see a beauty. ”
Luoluo muttered in a low voice: "What do you want to see the beauty, just have a female camel to see." ”
The angry old man wanted to pinch him, but Luoluo hid in Su Yaoyao's arms, and he didn't succeed.
Li Mo thought about it, and he could only wait for the evening to investigate, but those endless giant skeletons were a big trouble. In the morning, when I was exploring the small world, I found that the foot of a hill near the village was covered with the kind of red fruit that the village chief had brought, and I had picked a lot of it by the way.
Sitting in a small room in the wooden house, Li Mo stared at the red fruit, closed his eyes and thought for a long time before taking out the mountains and rivers. Every time Shanheding is broken, it needs to be returned to the dantian to cultivate, but fortunately, it recovers quickly.
She had refined all the little red fruits into juice, and they were as red as blood.
When night was about to fall, all three of them were nervously waiting, but there was a knock on the wooden door.
Li Mo's consciousness swept away, and outside the door was a little boy in the village, only hanging a few leaves around his waist, and after the wooden door was opened, he knelt on the ground pitifully and said: "A few immortals, my mother is sick, please save my mother." ”
Li Mo was a little hesitant, it was going to be dark soon, and they still had something to do. Su Yaoyao helped the little boy up with a sympathetic look and said, "Momo, he is so pitiful, he is still so filial, let's go and show his mother, it won't take too long." ”
Su Yaoyao is still too kind, isn't her heart cold and strong enough, sighed, Li Mo followed the little boy to his cabin.
The little boy is only 9 years old, listening to his chatter along the way, and probably knowing his life experience, he is the only one in the family who depends on his mother, and his father never came back after he went out the night before he was born.
Li Mo guessed that his father's outing probably didn't resist his inner curiosity, and when he went out at night, he was killed by the giant skull outside, and now he is estimated to have become a member of the skull.
His family's cabin is about the same size as the one Li Mo lives in now, but it is very old, and it feels like it has been built for decades and has not been repaired for several years.
The boy's mother was supposed to be in her prime, but her long hair was gray, and she lay on the bed with a thin face, revealing her pointed chin. When he saw Li Mo and the others, he wanted to come down and salute, but he didn't have the strength to get up.
Li Mo pressed her hand, and the cyan blood vessels under the dry skin were clearly visible. She wasn't actually sick, she just hadn't eaten enough for a long time, was malnourished and weak. A good person did it to the end, Li Mo picked up a bamboo cup on the table, poured a glass of water, dripped a drop of spiritual honey, and asked the little boy to feed her and drink.
He left some food on the table and was about to leave, but suddenly he found that the hand of the woman on the bed who had exposed the hay quilt had turned into white bones, and then he saw that there was a human hand that had returned to a thin and cracked but fleshy body.
Li Mo stepped forward, grabbed her wrist and said, "Do people in your village often get sick? ”
The woman opened her mouth but did not speak, but the little boy replied, "Ah Fat's grandfather is also sick, and Aunt Peach Blossom of the village chief's family is in the same situation as my mother." ”
Li Mo looked at the little boy and said, "Did anything strange happen to your mother, such as turning into a skeleton?" ”
"Sister Immortal, don't scare me, my mother is lying here, how can she become a skeleton. ”
The woman's hands did not turn into white bones again, and Li Mo went back with doubts.
Lao Dao waited for them in the house, and when he saw the people coming back, he said, "Shouldn't we go, for in half an hour, it will be completely dark." ”
Li Mo said: "We won't go to the lake tonight, just stay in the village, I suspect that there is something strange in this village." ”
Then Li Mo briefly recounted what happened at the little boy's house, and finally said: "I am absolutely not mistaken, when the woman's palm turned into white bones, the aura emanating from her body was the same as that of a giant skull. ”
Quickly divide the work, including Luoluo and Xiao Hei, and each person sneaks into a house to explore before it gets completely dark.
On this night, it was also a night walk of millions of skeletons, and the wind was gusting.
The first light of dawn shone into the small world, and everything was calm again, but the three and two children who had regathered in the wooden house could not calm down.
Lao Dao seemed to be frightened, and as soon as they met, he said: "It's terrifying, which family I stay, all turned into white bones after dark, and by 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, all turned into black giant skulls, and the bureau is even stronger than the skull army outside, it is estimated that I can be crushed to death by stretching out a finger bone." Luckily, they didn't notice me, and I was so scared that I couldn't breathe. ”
In other words, the people in the whole village are actually not people, they are all skeletons dressed in flesh and blood, but the villagers, including the village chief, don't seem to know this. And the strange thing is that they can still live like normal people, and even have children.
Luoluo pointed out the key point: "If we go out to deal with the skeleton people, after we kill all those outside, will the people in the village also come to deal with us?" So in order to relieve our worries, I think it's better to kill these people first at dawn." ”
Su Yaoyao was a little unbearable, and said: "But they are all living people now, and the little boy yesterday, he is still so filial." ”
Li Mo can't do this kind of slaughter of the village, not to mention that these villagers are now flesh and blood, alive. Yesterday she went to the village chief's house, a room full of people turned into white bones and skulls, the old village chief would cough in the middle of the night, and his son and daughter-in-law would boil hot water for him to drink, even if they were real skulls, they were also skulls with feelings.
So at night they continued to go to the lake to kill the giant skull, and this time at night they brought the juice made of red fruit, which is the nemesis of the giant skull, and when it is touched by the slightest touch, it will change from the giant skull to an ordinary mortal skeleton, which is not aggressive. Facing the giant puppet that rushed like a tide, Li Mo and the three of them forced themselves to the middle of the lake.
But these giant skeletons did not hesitate to die with skeletons, but also to stop them from going down to the bottom of the lake, and after killing them all night, they still stopped at the tenth water staircase, and still did not know anything about the situation below.
