Volume 1 The First Awakening of Nangong City Chapter 10 The Misty Tragedy
In the early morning, the old man looked frightened, his face was pale, as if he had been frightened by something, and hurried back from outside the bamboo forest.
Xiuyu jumped down from the roof and shouted at the anxious old man, "Grandpa, what's wrong, so anxious?"
The old man was carrying a basket on his back, looking a little tired, and he must have trotted all the way from the town, and he said with a shudder:
"Oh no, something is wrong—"
At this time, Zi Mo also came out of the house when he heard the sound, drowsy and hazy, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Old man, what's wrong?"
The old man's anxious voice came out quickly, with a sad voice: "There are ghosts in the town, and yesterday overnight, thirteen families encountered strange things at the same time, and the whole family died tragically!"
"Thirteen families are all dead!?"
Xiu Yu's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this, he comforted the panicked old man, and said softly: "Old man, don't be ridiculous first, what happened specifically, tell me slowly." ”
Zi Mo handed over a cup of tea.
After the old man swallowed the tea, his undulating breathing slowly calmed down, he slowed down, his face showed horror, and said: "This morning, before dawn, I went to the town to buy some ingredients, strange to say, when I went, the town turned out to be foggy, I felt a little strange at the time, and when I called out to ask an old friend of mine, I knew that last night, a strange and tragic strange thing happened in the town——"
Xiu Yu Zimo and the two listened carefully to the old man's recollections.
"Yesterday night, thirteen families in the town, a bizarre bloody case, the people in the family, all died tragically, the death was extremely terrifying, and there was a fog and wind blowing at night, this morning, someone found the dead thirteen families......"
The old man's logic was a little confused, and his lips couldn't help but tremble when he spoke, he had lived in the town for decades, and it was the first time he encountered such a tragic event, obviously frightened by the situation in the town.
Xiu Yu and Zi Mo glanced at each other, and they had a common idea in their hearts.
Zi Mo took off a silver hairpin from his hair, handed it to the old man, and said, "Old man, I have to thank you for taking care of me, Xiu Yu and I left today, let's go to the town to check it out, you have to take care of yourself." ”
The old man was in a trance, and after realizing it, he took the silver hairpin.
Xiu Yu shook the old man's rough and wrinkled hand, and said, "Old man, something strange has happened in the town, remember not to go out at night, let's go to investigate the situation, once we find something wrong, we will come back to see you immediately." ”
After calming the old man into the bamboo house, the two glanced at each other.
Xiu Yu said: "I'm afraid there is something unclean, we'd better check it out, otherwise I'm afraid that the old man will also have an accident when the time comes." ”
Zi Mo nodded: "All thirteen families died tragically, the incident is very serious, I'm afraid it's some kind of evil thing, I want to find it out and slaughter it with my own hands!"
Without further ado, the two quickly rushed to the town. The town was less than ten miles away from the bamboo forest, and the two of them walked quickly, and soon arrived.
Xiaoliu Town, a very poor town, has less than 100 households in the town.
After Xiu Yu and the others arrived in the town, they felt the pungent smell of blood very clearly.
There was a smell of depression in the town.
They found an old man who was kneeling on the ground crying and asked, "Old man, what happened?"
The old man burst into tears, choked with tears, and cried out in a sad voice:
"My poor child, you died a miserable death...!"
Seeing that he couldn't find any results, Xiu Yu looked into the house and walked over.
I saw blood splattered on the wall, and a middle-aged man who had long since stopped breathing was covered with a white cloth.
The two crossed the crowd and lifted the white cloth of the dead man.
A miserable cheek shone in front of the two of them.
Xiu Yu's expression was ugly, the middle-aged man died extremely miserably, his face was almost unbelievable, his face was completely unclear, there were claw marks everywhere on his body, and the flesh and white bones were visible to the naked eye.
The man's body was extremely twisted and spasmed, and his nails were pinched deep into his palms, and he must have suffered great pain in the dead money.
What torture this was, such cruelty and bloodshed!
Zi Mo observed for a moment, thoughtfully, and said solemnly: "It seems to be the work of some kind of beast......"
Xiu Yu nodded, avoided the person who cleaned up the corpse in the room, and went out and said, "Let's go, go to the next one to see ......"
The two quickly came to the second house.
There were three people, a man, a woman, and an eight-year-old child, and the family lived in a hut with blood splattered on the mud walls and thatch, and the family of three also died in a pool of blood.
Xiu Yu didn't stop, and then ran all the thirteen households.
After a while, his face was ugly, and the fire of anger burned on his face: "Damn, mad, so mutilating so many people's lives. ”
At least 20 people died in their homes, and these are all ordinary people!
Innocent loss of life!
Zi Mo's face was also not good, her breathing was slightly short, and when she saw the tragic corpses of one family after another, she wondered, "It seems to be done by a beast, but it's a little bit different—"
She thought about it for a while, and after looking around, she realized that the fog that had not dissipated in the town, and guessed: "I'm afraid it's really some kind of unclean thing, judging from the death of these people, they should have been killed alive with sharp claws......
Xiu Yu's face was thoughtful, and after thinking about it slightly, he seemed to realize something, and spoke quickly:
"Let's go, look at the body again and see if there's anything to be found. ”
The two walked into the house again, and they pushed aside the gathered people, lifted the white cloth, and examined the deceased's injuries.
Immediately, the two glanced at each other, and each frowned.
They went to the next one again to check on the deceased's injuries.
This time, they had the answer in their hearts.
"The dead were all caught alive by sharp claws, and their skin was open, which was the most deadly, but the common cause of death of all the dead was that their hearts were taken out. ”
Xiuyu exhaled heavily.
Zi Mo lowered his eyebrows and whispered, with a thoughtful look between his eyebrows: "I like to eat my heart, and I can't think of anything for a while—but in short, it's not a beast, and a beast won't be such a picky eater." ”
"Let's stay in town tonight, maybe that thing will reappear. ”
The two had an idea and stopped at a dead family in town.
Soon, night fell, and the fog rose in the town, and gusts of strange winds came from nowhere, whirring.
For a while, the already dark night, accompanied by a strange fog, became eerie and terrifying.
Xiu Yu and the others breathed slowly, listening to the movements of the night.
As the clock ticked by, there was an eerie silence in the town, and nothing could be heard except the whirring of the wind.
The townspeople fell asleep.
The night seemed extraordinarily long, but it went on very quickly.
Xiu Yu shook off his swelling and aching head, looked at Zi Mo, who was pale, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay, if you go back to the bamboo house to rest first, your internal injuries will not be healed, if you continue to toss like this, I am afraid that you will fall into a dark disease." ”
The two didn't sleep all night.
Zi Mo shook her head, she was already stubborn, and she couldn't hear anyone's persuasion at such a moment. She sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Xiuyu: "It didn't come last night, you should hurry up and replenish your energy, otherwise you won't be able to stay up at night." ”
After speaking, she closed her eyes and recuperated, her hand was sealed, and she breathed.
Xiuyu, who had stayed up all night, nodded tiredly, and took advantage of the situation to find a wooden stake and lean on.
It wasn't until dusk that he woke up from his slumber.
At this time, Zi Mo was staring at him curiously.
Xiu Yu touched his face with his hand, and said differently: "Why are you staring at me?
Zi Mo shook his head and asked strangely, "I said, you are an ordinary person, aren't you afraid of that thing at night?"
After knowing that there was nothing strange on his face, Xiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and pouted: "You are not afraid of a weak woman, let alone a big man!"
"You...!" Zi Mo's handsome face showed a little anger.
Who is the weak woman?
"Okay..."Xiu Yu waved his hand, got up and said, "Let's go out and have a look, and ask the people in the town if there was anything unusual last night." ”
Zi Mo bit her lips lightly, and muttered her teeth: "You are a weak woman, Miss Ben is a country and a city, and women don't let their eyebrows go!"
The afterglow faded as the evening wore on, and the two of them asked some questions in the town, but strangely enough, no one felt unusual, and the night was quiet, except for the strange fog, nothing appeared.
Now the two were puzzled, Xiu Yu looked at the whole town a little strangely, and wondered: "Is it because you are full?"
The two decided to keep watch again tonight.
Nightsong knew the sound, and a strange wind blew the fog of the town, and with the peace of the night, the whole village and town became eerie.
