The two walked into the village and came face to face with an elder. He looked to be about sixty years old. His skin was tanned by the sun and was a little loose. It seemed that he had exerted a lot of strength when he was young. He was wrapped in a heavy jacket.
The leather robe is a little uncomfortable with the early spring weather.
When the old man saw Chen Yunsheng, his expression turned into surprise, then into surprise, and he smiled like he was seeing prey, "A stranger? There have been no strangers in Luoyun Village for decades."
The old man spoke incomprehensively because he was excited. Chen Yunsheng could barely hear clearly, and he clasped his fists towards the old man and said, "Sir, we have traveled here and want to find a place to rest. Sorry for bothering you."
The old man smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed like crescent moons, "Don't bother me, don't bother me, please come if you haven't invited me yet. I hope you'll have some distinguished guests that you can't wait for, come with me."
Chen Yunsheng was slightly taken aback by the old man's enthusiasm, and then followed him forward. Although there were only a few dozen households in the small village, the roads were twisted and irregular, and the houses in the village also varied in height.
There is a sense of irregular ugliness.
Chen Yunsheng looked at Liu Xiaoshan and found that the woman's brows were also frowning. It seemed that she felt the same as him.
The old man finally stopped in front of an old two-story house, pointed at the house with a smile and said: "Two guests from Luoyun Village, you will rest here today. No one will disturb you. If you have any requests,
There is a bell in the house. If you ring it casually, someone will listen. However, the customs in this village are weird, so you two just don’t walk around casually. I will have someone bring you dinner in a while. "
Without waiting for Chen Yunsheng to speak, he put a copper key into his hand. He walked away alone. Seeing the old man's back shaking every step, Chen Yunsheng was secretly suspicious. He came to the front of the house and put a key on the lock.
The green patina told him that this place had been uninhabited for a long time. But when he opened the door, he found that the house was still relatively tidy. At least it didn't look like it had been uninhabited for a long time.
"Do you think that old man is weird?" Liu Xiaoshan said softly.
Chen Yunsheng nodded and said: "Too enthusiastic and a little nervous."
Liu Xiaoshan pointed to the bed in the house and said, "This bedding has a smell."
"What does it smell like?"
"The smell of dead people." At this time, the door of the room suddenly opened and a young man walked in. He answered Chen Yunsheng's question.
"Who are you?" Chen Yunsheng asked vigilantly. He didn't feel it when the other party approached the house. He didn't know whether it was due to negligence or something else.
"Uncle Jiu asked me to bring you something to eat." The young man said with a smile.
"What did you mean by what you just said?"
"The original owner of this house has been dead for many years, so this sister said there is a smell in the house, but of course it cannot smell like a living person." The young man said jokingly.
Seeing that the doubts on Chen Yunsheng's face had not diminished, he continued: "The villagers make a living by hunting, so naturally they will not be too wealthy. How can there be an idle house for the two of you? The original owner of this household wanted to save his life during a hunting trip.
The man was bitten by a wild beast and died not long after he returned. In order to commemorate his feats during his lifetime, the villagers specially preserved his house, so the house has remained empty until now. It is only used occasionally when there are tourists.
.”
"What is your name?" Chen Yunsheng asked.
The young man showed a pure smile and said: "For us rough people in the mountains, just call me Lao San. The one who just spoke to you is Uncle Jiu, the elder in the village, everyone listens to him."
The third child put down the basket in his hand and took out several coarse porcelain jars. An alluring aroma of meat was released from the jars.
The third child said politely: "Invite two distinguished guests to dinner. In the barren mountains and ridges, there are no vegetables and only meat. It is a bit crude and vulgar. You can eat whatever you want."
After saying that, he stood aside with his hands down, watching helplessly, as if waiting for Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan to eat.
"You go back first and thank Uncle Jiu for me." Chen Yunsheng said politely. He did not go over and open the jars.
The third child still didn't leave, with a hint of displeasure on his face as he said, "Why don't our distinguished guests eat? Do you think our food is hard to swallow?"
Chen Yunsheng felt a hint of accusation in the other person's tone, and said unhappily: "It's just that we don't like eating under the gaze of others."
The third child smiled awkwardly, pointed to the food on the table, and said: "The local customs are like this, so don't blame me. I will go down now, you remember to eat."
After the third child left the room, Chen Yunsheng walked to the table and opened a coarse porcelain jar. The aroma of the meat was even stronger. The meat in the porcelain jar had obviously been stewed for a long time, and the soup was bright in color, with a faint layer of fluorescence flashing.
"There seems to be something wrong." Although Chen Yunsheng didn't understand pharmacology, he knew that the bright light in the soup must have been added to something.
"It seems that there is a problem in this village. Do you dare to stay and find out?" Liu Xiaoshan looked at Chen Yunsheng.
"Of course. We will take action when the moon rises above the willows today." Chen Yunsheng was inspired by suffering and nothing, and somewhat changed.
Liu Xiaoshan opened the pots and jars one by one and found that all the meat was fat and thin, and seemed to be the meat of an animal. There was more or less a trace of light on the soup, which must have been added with the same drug.
"This meat is also strange. It doesn't look like the meat of any wild beast." Chen Yunsheng wondered. He had lived on the top of Lingyun Peak for more than ten years, so he naturally knew what the texture of wild beast meat was like.
"Here in the barren mountains and ridges, people make a living by hunting. If this is not the meat of wild beasts, what kind of meat is it?"
The two were silent for a while and looked at each other.
"Human flesh!"
The two said these two words almost at the same time.
"I don't know how many passers-by they have killed." Chen Yunsheng said calmly.
Liu Xiaoshan analyzed it carefully: "I don't know why they did this? For money? This place is far away from the town, and there is no use asking for money. For food? There are so many wild beasts on the mountain that are enough to provide a source of food for the villagers. Besides, every time a passerby passes by.
Even if you have to go through all this trouble, the gain may not be worth the loss. I always feel that the food is a little exquisite, not like what people in the mountains do."
"The thoughts of beasts cannot be guessed by normal people." Chen Yunsheng said coldly.
Liu Xiaoshan always felt that this matter was very strange. There was an extremely important thing spinning around in her mind, but she couldn't catch it. She simply gave up thinking. Since she decided to do it at night, there was no speculation as good as catching it.
A villager came to ask.
Although she gave up thinking, Liu Xiaoshan did not give up looking around in the house. She climbed from the first floor to the second floor. She traced her delicate hands on the thick wooden boards, as if she could trace the grain of the logs back to the year when they were grown.
"There's blood here!"
When Chen Yunsheng heard what Liu Xiaoshan said, he immediately came to the second floor. Liu Xiaoshan found a drop of blood behind a simple wooden grid. It seemed that it had not been long.
"The third child is completely lying." Chen Yunsheng said.
"This blood may be from travelers, locals, or even wild beasts," Liu Xiaoshan said.
The fog did not fade with the discovery of blood, and the village became more and more mysterious. The sky quickly darkened. There was no moonlight tonight, and a thick layer of dark clouds completely obscured the moon.
Two figures flashed out of an ancient two-story attic and disappeared after a few flashes on the loess road. Chen Yunsheng touched a house and Yuan Ci detected that someone was moving in the house just now.
Chen Yunsheng slowly opened the door of the house. What surprised him was that the door was not bolted. This was not normal in the wilderness.
There was no lamp in the room, but Chen Yunsheng's eyes could distinguish objects under the dim light. He could clearly see the third child standing beside the bed. The third child stood there like a wooden stake, motionless, which actually made Chen Yunsheng angry.
A little afraid.
After pondering for a moment, he took action. Chen Yunsheng decided to knock the third child unconscious, and then dragged him to a place where no one was around for interrogation. There were many ways to knock the opponent unconscious. He used the simplest element magnet. Several black lines were like whips.
The same stroke hit Lao San on the head. According to Chen Yunsheng's guess, the opponent must have fallen backwards and fainted at the same time. He happened to use the element magnet to catch the opponent's body.
But something strange happened. The third child's head was violently hit behind his back, and his neck was almost bent in half, bending into an arc that would never happen to a normal person.
The third child turned to Chen Yunsheng and gradually walked toward him, letting out bursts of creepy laughter as he walked.
"He is already dead. I can't feel his breath of life." Liu Xiaoshan said.
Chen Yunsheng took a step back, opened his hands slightly, shot out three golden threads, and quickly cut off the third child's arms. Strangely, there was no blood seeping out, and the cross section was black and red, as if he had been dead for a long time.
The third child still rushed towards Chen Yunsheng, Liu Xiaoshan stabbed the third child in the heart with an ice crystal, and nailed him to the wall. The third child was still trying to rush towards Chen Yunsheng with his hands and feet kicking.
At this moment, Chen Yunsheng felt footsteps coming from behind him, and the magnetic disturbance told him that there were at least a hundred people approaching from behind.
He and Liu Xiaoshan retreated outside the door, only to see that the cabin was surrounded by more than a hundred people with dull eyes, as if covered with a layer of white mist.
Liu Xiaoshan looked at Chen Yunsheng, and Chen Yunsheng saw a look of disgust in her eyes. He thought that Liu Xiaoshan was going to take action. Sure enough, the woman's body was as agile as a water snake, and clouds of water vapor condensed in the dark night, eventually spreading to everything like
On the heads of the villagers accompanying the corpse.
Liu Xiaoshan put his hands together, and a flash of blue flashed across his face. Everyone's bodies suddenly swelled up, as if they were filled with energy. Then countless light blue ice crystals stabbed out from their bodies, and everyone turned into hedgehogs. But
This still cannot stop them from moving forward.
Villagers who looked like "hedgehogs" were still rushing towards Chen Yunsheng. At this time, Chen Yunsheng had finished casting the spell in his hand. More than twenty fire crows dragged their long light tails and rushed towards the crowd, instantly killing these walking corpses.
