Mo Qing couldn't help but feel horrified by this description. She looked at "Abu" again and looked into those bright red eyes for a moment. She felt very uncomfortable for some reason.
Mo Qing exhaled and asked Song Yiyuan: "Can he speak?"
Song Yiyuan was startled for a moment: "Probably...no way." Song Yiyuan scratched his head, "Anyway, I haven't heard him speak until now."
Chi Shi threw him to the monster named Abu and then disappeared.
In Song Yiyuan's limited reserve of biological knowledge, there is absolutely no species that can be equated with "Abu". If he hadn't developed a certain psychological quality at the Eighth Base, he would have been scared crazy by now.
At first, he tried to communicate with Abu, but Abu never spoke, so he assumed that Abu could not speak.
He turned around and found an enamel cup, raised it and shook it, then pointed to the time on it: "This is a commemorative enamel cup issued uniformly 40 years ago."
Mo Qing lowered his head and looked at the pressure cooker: "There is also rice."
He talked a lot, trying to prove the possibility of entering and leaving Xiwu Village.
Having said this, Song Yiyuan stood up from the wooden stool.
"The latest batch of buildings must be about a hundred years old. These buildings have basically become dilapidated buildings. The ones that can be lived in, except for the one we are in, is the one about a hundred meters in front, but there is no trace of habitation.
, it has been abandoned for a while.”
Mo Qing wanted to chase, but was stopped by Song Yiyuan.
Song Yiyuan nodded simply.
Because it was so weird, he didn't find it strange at all.
He has never thought about this problem!
Song Yiyuan looked up at Abu and asked: "Abu, can you speak?"
"Abu doesn't need to eat. It's normal not to use the kitchen. But he even cleans the kitchen. Isn't it a bit..."
Song Yiyuan wanted to stop him, but he ran too fast and disappeared before Song Yiyuan could say anything.
Song Yiyuan was shocked.
"Abu saved me," Song Yiyuan said. "I only went out twice in total. Once I got lost and walked back, and the second time I met a monster. Fortunately, I was saved by Abu. After that, I didn't dare to leave the village.
Now, I usually just walk around the village."
Mo Qing raised his head and looked at the wooden house: "If a house like this had not been taken care of for several years, it would not be what it is now. The monsters outside the village kill people without blinking an eye, so they should not be in the mood to clean the house. According to the elimination method,
There is only Abu... But why? He wants to help Chi Shi and you, and also cleans the room? "
"But it's not right."
"Yes, yes, there is rice." Song Yiyuan nodded hurriedly, his face slightly distorted as he thought about it, "But this is well-preserved, and it is barely edible when cooked... I estimate it must be several years old, and there is not much left in the house.
Duo. Oh, neither Abu nor the monsters outside seem to need to eat. I suspect this rice was left behind by people in the village."
Mo Qing nodded: "Anything gained?"
Mo Qing said: "According to your analysis, in the past few years, the last living person in the village has disappeared?"
He pointed to the pressure cooker again: "And this pressure cooker, it lasted twenty years."
During the day, he would go out for a walk, hoping to find Mo Qing and the others, but after leaving the village, if he was lucky, he would walk back to Xiwu Village by himself, but if he was not lucky, he would encounter a monster outside the village.
After Song Yiyuan woke up, he was warned by Chi Shi and knew that Abu could be trusted, so Song Yiyuan was not too panicked.
Mo Qing asked: "How can you survive if you encounter a monster outside the village?"
"...it seems so."
"Also," he pointed into the room, "there are posters and washbasins in the room, both from twenty years ago. In short, there are many things that came from outside."
"Why--"
Abu rolled his eyes and shifted his gaze from Mo Qing to Song Yiyuan. After a while, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, but the next moment he turned around and ran away.
Speaking of this, she looked towards the kitchen.
"Stop chasing him," Song Yiyuan sighed helplessly, "He always disappears without a trace, but he will come back after a while."
"Yes, a little bit." Song Yiyuan considered it for a moment and continued, "On the surface, this is an ordinary village. It's not big. Judging from the scale, there were only about a hundred households living in it at its peak."
Mo Qing thought for a while and simply stayed: "Tell me more about your experience in the past two days."
"OK."
"The strange thing is that this village has existed for an incalculable period of time. I even saw traces of buildings from the Tang and Song Dynasties in the village. The farther west you go, the older the buildings become, but now there are only ruins left."
"The lifestyle of the people who originally lived here seems to be the same as ours, and they must be able to enter and exit Xiwu Village freely, because -"
"It should be."
"What's wrong?"
Xiwu Village was quiet at night, just like a ghost village. He usually stayed in the house.
Song Yiyuan probably guessed what she wanted to say, and immediately said: "When I woke up, the kitchen was also clean. It was very clean inside and out, as if the owner had just left. But no one had used the kitchen for a long time... Oh, including the toilet in the back.”
"But he can understand what we say." Mo Qing said.
