Chapter 713: Hope (to be changed)
"There are not many mermaids in this direction."
Hu Xiaobei lowered his head and looked at the bullet holes on the ground, then turned his attention to the thatched cottage in front of him.
Shabby, messy, ordinary.
Like other thatched cottages on the roadside, it's not worth spending time observing.
I have to say something unique...probably the eye-catching red roof.
I don’t know what it was dyed with, but it’s still bright even in the mist.
If you fly to the sky and look down, you will definitely notice it at first sight.
"The red house, Brother Shui Sheng's former home."
Xiaohua stretched out her fingers and spoke timidly.
"Um."
Hu Xiaobei nodded, and then looked at Xiaohua as if he remembered something.
"Where's your home?"
"It should be... also a red house."
The latter thought for a moment and blinked in response.
She didn't remember anything when she was taken away. She learned these things from Song Paitou's mouth.
"It's probably no coincidence that all the children are from here."
The girl whispered softly and slowly narrowed her eyes.
The situation is obvious.
survivor.
But this place…
It's damp and dark, and there's a lack of food.
She didn't think anyone could live in a place like this and survive for more than ten years.
"It's a big problem."
The girl narrowed her eyes.
squeak.
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, exposing the things in the yard.
——
Liu Shuisheng's family is not wealthy.
Not to mention compared to the village chief, even compared to ordinary villagers, he is a bit pitiful.
Collapsed low walls, rotten door frames, and back rooms full of weeds.
The reason for the dilapidation here is not that no one has repaired it, but a simple word.
poverty.
Of course, Wang Jin can see the details so clearly, which means...
Bang!
The wooden door fell off the door frame and fell to the ground.
So dust started to rise.
Long lost dust.
With the threshold as the dividing line, the vast white world is blocked out.
There is no fog in Liu Shuisheng's home, but it is extremely dry.
You will smell dust when you breathe, and there is a thin layer of soil on the ground.
The line of sight is no longer disturbed, and the subtle sluggishness in waving limbs is gone.
The sky is still covered with clouds, but it is no longer so humid.
"It's so cool!"
The drama fanatic, who was devastated by rhinitis, took two sharp breaths, looking relieved.
"Shh."
Wang Jin narrowed his eyes and signaled the drama idiot to shut up.
No fog means lack of factors.
They are now unable to attack the merfolk and are in a passive state.
"The mermaid is not hostile...I can feel it."
Looking away from the two figures in mid-air, Song He looked slightly moved and then spoke.
The scales on his spine have not faded, but are slowly expanding around him, somewhat wrapping his whole body.
The dragon aura on his body became more and more obvious, almost to the point of being visible to the naked eye.
When these words came out of his mouth, there was really no reason to refute them.
"The danger is not limited to mermaids, so be careful."
The young man shook his head slowly, still not letting down his guard.
He picked up the shotgun and stepped forward.
——
"It's such a heavy fog."
Su Xi sniffed her nose and frowned.
The air humidity instantly increased a lot, making her wound very uncomfortable.
"Have you been here?"
Hu Xiaobei was not in a hurry to step into the courtyard, but stood at the door and watched the changes.
The house was not big, so she was not sure that she could bring Su Xi and Xiaohua into it.
If you enter hastily, you may be bumped into by the other party.
"without."
Su Xi slowly shook her head.
Although she had been here with Samsara many years ago, she didn't have the habit of visiting other people's homes.
"Um."
Hu Xiaobei nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The ears on top of her head twitched. She grabbed Su Xi and Xiaohua and slowly backed away.
Snap, snap.
The sound of footsteps came and seemed to be lingering at the door for a while.
Whoosh!
The white shadow flashed through the mist and entered the courtyard quietly.
When the other party goes out to check, determine the location, and then use the fog to cover up and pass quickly.
Obviously, this trick works.
"call…"
In the corner, Hu Xiaobei took a breath.
There aren't many mermaids, which means there aren't many clues.
Since we already know what happened many years ago, we should start from this perspective and be an honest bystander.
So she adjusted her breathing as much as possible and listened to the movement on the other side of the mist.
Crunch.
The door was closed, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
It seems that someone has blocked the door.
"Ahem..."
Heavy breathing.
"Are you okay?"
A slightly panicked voice sounded, and Hu Xiaobei raised his eyebrows.
Mayor Ma.
"Well, it must have been blown by the wind."
Another voice sounded.
It was a pity that Hu Xiaobei had never heard of the deep and deep male voice.
"We still have time, don't be too anxious."
The man comforted the obviously panicked Village Chief Ma, but there was not much confidence in his voice.
"Brother Song...it's really too late."
A thin sound came from the village chief, who seemed to be scratching his body.
But that creepy friction sound was nothing like what nails and flesh could make.
"Yesterday was the fifth time. You saw what the villagers have become."
"Some people are missing, and some are lying at home covered in blood."
"No one cared about these changes. They started asking me for meat every day."
"Then it's not fucking meat... But no one believes what I say now."
"Even my mother..."
Village Chief Ma gasped, his voice trembling.
"She keeps all the good things for me, but she doesn't want to eat them herself."
"I thought she could escape."
"Everyone is crazy, maybe I am crazy."
"This year... no, I will definitely not make it through this month."
"That lunatic surnamed Wei wants to turn us all into monsters...Who the hell did I provoke?"
thump.
The village chief seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the ground.
"Brother Song, you are a capable person."
"Help brother, I'm begging you."
“…”
Song Paitou sighed.
He sat next to the village chief and his voice was low.
"Brother, I'm just a nobody, not a big name."
"Wei Shanhe is a second-row leader who can reach the sky. He has a very high status in the village."
"Even if I told it in the village, who would believe it?"
Song Paitou sighed heavily.
"I have some connections in the Liu family, maybe I can recruit the third platoon leader."
"But before that, brother has something to ask you."
Song Paitou paused for a few seconds, seeming to organize his words.
After a long time, he said in a deep voice.
"A few months ago, something fell down here."
"Last time I asked, you said I was blinded."
"I'll ask again now."
Song Paitou's voice was low, with a dignity that should not belong to a fisherman.
"What did you do to it?"
“…”
The one who remained silent this time was Village Chief Ma.
After a long cigarette, he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"have eaten."
There was a cry in the village chief's voice.
"The folks eat together."
"It was covered in wounds and I thought it wouldn't survive. Then I..."
Snap! Snap!
A dull slap sounded.
It was obviously Village Chief Ma who was slapping him.
"Brother Song, I was really confused for a moment."
"Save my brother, save the village, please."
"well…"
Song Paitou didn't say much.
He seemed to have expected this.
After a long time, he responded in a deep voice.
"The leader of the third platoon is called Liu Shu, and he is a disciple of the Liu family."
"Do you think he is still willing to help you now?"
"I...sigh."
Village Chief Ma gritted his teeth and seemed to understand something.
He sighed and stopped talking.
"Everything has a spirit, brother."
Blah, blah.
Song Paitou seemed to be busy with something.
"That thing may have come to help you, but a few pieces of flesh were cut off."
"What would you think if it were you?"
Snap.
The flames flashed past, lighting up the inferior hand-rolled cigarettes.
Song Paitou took a deep breath with a complicated expression.
"What's more, Wei Shanhe took advantage of the situation and came in. Your situation is really..."
"It's hard to save a fairy."
“…”
Village Chief Ma didn't speak or even make a sound.
It's like he died suddenly.
"call…"
Song Paitou took another puff of cigarette.
"Seeing as you didn't feed your child those things...brother will give you a clear path."
"Go find that thing, apologize to it, and give it whatever it wants."
"It's okay even if you risk your life. At least you can save the children."
"If you have children, there is hope, right?"
"If you have children, there is hope..."
Village Chief Ma murmured to himself.
The fog suddenly dispersed.
Hu Xiaobei saw clearly the scene in front of him.
Village Chief Ma was covered in blood, almost indistinguishable from a mermaid.
The bald man with a dark complexion smoked a cigarette with a depressed look on his face.
The two people turned their heads together and looked at the child beside them.
Although they are different in age, Hu Xiaobei can still tell.
That's Liu Shuisheng.
(I can’t do it anymore, I have a stomachache, please keep your hands and work hard, please be patient, brothers)
(I will stay up late to finish writing it later, and I can read the second half tomorrow, red bean paste private Marseille)
"There are not many mermaids in this direction."
Hu Xiaobei lowered his head and looked at the bullet holes on the ground, then turned his attention to the thatched cottage in front of him.
