Chapter 9: The Boy Without Words
The door had been slowly opened, and then Qin Yu caught a glimpse of a boy squeezing out of the door, and then stopped not far from the courtyard wall, staring at a pair of innocent eyes, looking at the four of them one by one, and then saw that the corners of the boy's mouth were slightly raised, and two bud-like dimples appeared on his pink little face, which looked extremely cute and extremely pleasing.
Seeing that there was a cute-looking boy walking out of the door, even Ximen Qu suddenly relaxed his heart that had been hanging, for cute things, people will more or less relax their guard, let alone human children.
Judging from the boy's dress, he is also quite exquisite, and at first glance he is the child of a rich and noble family.
At this moment, except for Qin Yu, who always lowered his head and couldn't see any expression, the other three were really happy, after all, they hadn't eaten anything since last night, and if they met a rich and noble family, they could have a good meal to fill their stomachs.
The boy only paused slightly when he saw Qin Yu, and then continued to look at the others, perhaps he felt a little strange when he saw Qin Yu, who had always lowered his head, and had a hemp rope tied in his hand.
The rain in the sky had begun to slow down, and the boy looked up at the sky, and then there was a slight displeasure on his face, and he did not speak.
Seeing this situation, Hu Bat hurriedly stepped forward and said cautiously: "This little friend, may I ask if your adult is at home?" As he spoke, the kind smile like sunshine leaked on his face again, and his face was still clouded.
The boy didn't speak, as if he couldn't speak, but nodded slightly towards the bearded bat.
Seeing this, Hu Baat was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly continued: "Then Xiaoyou, can you please inform your family? You see that it is about to rain this day, but there is no shelter in this mountain, we just want to rest in your house, and when the rain is over, we will leave immediately, and we will not bother." “
The boy still didn't answer, which made Hu Bat have some doubts in his heart, "Could it be that this boy is a mute, it is the nature of children to love to talk, of course, there are exceptions, but it is difficult to foresee one out of ten children who don't like to talk." I'm afraid that this answer, only Qin Yu, who always lowered his head and didn't say a word, could answer him accurately.
But at this moment, Qin Yu's heart was already in a mess, fortunately, the pebble would still emit a burst of coldness in his bat belly from time to time, forcibly calming down his heart that had jumped to his throat, he was not in the mood to take care of other people, not to mention that even if he didn't encounter such a terrifying thing, I am afraid that the end in the hands of these three scoundrels would not be much better, especially before he seemed to feel Hu Lai's killing intent towards him.
In his eyes, what kind of boy is this, it is clearly a corpse boy, but it can be seen that this corpse boy may have been a child before his death, as for whether it is cute or not, it is another matter. Qin Yu didn't see the cute appearance of the child in the illusion, he only saw the corpse of the boy who had rotten flesh all over his body and couldn't distinguish his facial features, but he still walked and made various movements.
He could tell that the other three must have seen something else, and from what Hu Bat said to the zombie, he guessed a rough idea.
He still lowered his head, no expression on his face.
Of course, the boy did not speak, but beckoned to the crowd and motioned for them to follow him.
Seeing this, Hu Bat naturally looked happy, hurriedly turned around, and nodded to Hu Lai and Ximen Qu behind him. Then the three of them raised their feet one after another and walked towards the courtyard. Although Qin Yu hesitated in his heart, but seeing that the three of them had followed the zombie into the courtyard of the hellish scene, he had to step forward and walk in, his hand was still tied by the hemp rope, and the other end had been held by Hu Lai, but now there was an inexplicable power surging all over his body, he couldn't say that kind of feeling, because he had never felt this kind of feeling before, he felt something surging in his blood, and wanted to break out of his body, this feeling was itchy, but it made him feel extremely comfortable, he knew that this feeling must have been brought to him by the pebble, and he was very glad that he had just decidedand swallow the pebble into your belly.
However, seeing the skeletons and broken bones all over the ground, he was a little unsure, he could imagine what happened to these people before they died, whether they were disemboweled, or their necks were cut, he remembered the chaotic face of the corpse boy, he must have been cut off by something before his death, his nose, ears, eyes, and tongue must have been cut off alive, and the way of death must have been abnormally painful.
Several people were not in a hurry to enter the door, and if they did, they would first have to ask for the consent of the child's elders. But what made Hu Bat feel strange was that they had spoken loudly enough just now, but until now, the boy's family had not been seen walking out of the door. People are always curious, and if it were him, he would always see what was going on no matter who stopped outside the door to talk to someone.
But fortunately, the door was not completely closed, and there was still only a gap.
Unable to satisfy his curiosity, Hulay peered through the crack in the door into the house hewn out of the mountain wall. But it was always dark in the house, and he couldn't see anything, which made him feel extremely strange, and even though the house was hewn out of the sun, it was not impossible to see anything in the house in broad daylight, "Why is this house so dark?" he muttered quietly.
At that moment, the boy suddenly walked out of the dark house, as if the boy had suddenly appeared out of thin air. The boy was still smiling, still as cute as Fang Cai. But for a moment, Hulai felt that the boy's smile always revealed a hint of weirdness.
The boy gave Hulai a strange look, then put away the smile on his face, as if he sensed something, and then still squeezed out of the crack in the door, still not saying anything, only nodded to the crowd, and then beckoned.
Seeing this, Hu Bat hurriedly stepped forward to the boy and said, "Thank you Xiaoyou," as he spoke, he put his hand into his arms, as if he was groping for something, and after a while, he saw that he was holding a golden thing in his hand, which was clearly a piece of gold, and then said: "This piece of gold, I was rewarded to you at that time, although it is not much, but it can also be used as pocket money..."
...
Qin Yu was already so nervous that he couldn't listen to any words at this time, so he also raised the corner of his eyes and looked inside the house through the crack in the door, but like Hu Lai, he only saw the darkness in the room and couldn't see anything. However, when he saw that Hu Bat casually gave the zombie a piece of gold as a reward, another wave also rose in his heart, if he had such a piece of gold, even if he didn't do anything for a year, he would never be cold and starve. Not to mention gold, he hasn't even seen a copper plate all these years.
The boy was not pretentious, and reached out to take the piece of gold from Hu Bat's hand, but when he touched the piece of gold, his hand also inadvertently touched Hu Bat's hand.
What kind of feeling is this, Hu Bat only felt that his hand was touching a frozen rag, and there was no soft feeling of the child's hand in his imagination, which made him feel strange, and the smile on his face was slightly retracted.
