Dinner in the village is also very simple, consisting of the most common home-cooked dishes.
One portion of eggplant, one portion of Yong Tau Fu, and one portion of stir-fried shredded potatoes.
It should have been a very common dish, but I don't know whether it was due to a problem with the ingredients or the seasoning, but this thing looked a little weird when it was brought to the table.
I can’t say what’s wrong with it, but I always feel like this dish shouldn’t be like this.
When the old man was putting the pot in, he also sprinkled a handful of something as black as moist soil into the pot. But he deliberately blocked his view of Liang Ye with his body, as if he wanted to prevent the guests from seeing it.
Three plates of food were served, and there was only a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a portion of rice. The old couple stood gloomily beside them, with no intention of joining in.
Liang Ye didn't ask any questions. He picked up the bowl of rice and finished the three dishes like a whirlwind. At the end, he burped and said that it would be better if he gave me more salt, but he still thanked him for the hospitality.
.
During this period, the eyes of the two old men changed from the sinister look in their eyes to a hint of surprise, and by the time they finally finished eating and put down their bowls, they were looking at each other.
That posture was like using her eyes to encrypt a conversation. The old lady's eyes were saying are you sure you put the thing in? The old man returned the look and said of course, even an elephant should have fallen. Who knows what happened to this thing?
Still able to jump around.
"By the way, old man, there are only two of you here? Don't you have any children?" Liang Ye, who was full of wine and food, began to chat.
The two old men's eyelids twitched together.
At this point, they all realized that this person today had a lot of background. After a moment of silence, the old man spoke first.
"There once was a son." He said in a hoarse and weird voice. "He passed the exam, went to university, studied archeology, and traveled around all day long. From time to time, he would send some weird things back, saying they were his.
New discovery.
until one day......"
The old man paused, his eyes flickered, and he looked somewhere in the shadow of the room.
"...They said it was a landslide. My son, a brave young man...he rescued his colleagues, but he couldn't come out."
"Ah, that's right." Liang Ye showed an apologetic expression, but for some reason his expression seemed somewhat insincere, "I'm sorry to remind you of..."
"No, it doesn't matter anymore. Because he will be back soon."
The old man raised an arm numbly and pointed to a dark place in the room. Liang Ye followed the direction of his finger and saw a bronze mirror hanging above the cabinet with exquisite patterns engraved on it.
"That's what he brought back. He said that it's older than we imagined. It was built by someone who has passed away long ago. It contains the wishes of someone who died in ancient times. It symbolizes reunion."
"That's true." The old lady also spoke, with a sharp and unpleasant voice, "The old man and I both dreamed about it, right after the landslide. The child entrusted us with the dream, saying that we could still be reunited, and this mirror could do it.
But it's been underground too long, it's too weak, it needs food..."
"I see."
Liang Ye nodded, indicating that he probably understood.
"So is this why passers-by always go missing here?"
At this time, the villagers gathered outside the door had already walked in. Their eyes were dull and dull, but their faces were so gloomy that they could almost shed water.
The small house was quickly filled to the brim. The two old men retreated to the edge silently, while the weird villagers quickly filled in the room.
"You look extraordinary." The old man said in a hoarse voice, "But no one can stop our family reunion, not even anyone coming."
While he was talking, the villagers were approaching step by step, each of them looking like puppets controlled by an invisible puppeteer.
At this moment, an extremely unpleasant cell phone ringtone rang unexpectedly.
"Calabash baby~ Calabash baby~ A flower on a vine~ I'm not afraid of wind or rain~ la la la la~"
All the gloomy villagers were stunned for a moment.
"Ah, sorry it's my phone number."
Liang Ye made a pause gesture, took out his cell phone from behind, and smiled apologetically.
"Wait a minute, I have to take this... Hello? Ah, yes, it's me."
The villagers stopped and looked at each other, as if making eye contact: What should we do? Should we do something to him?
I don’t know what process they went through to encrypt the voice calls within the team, but in the end they seemed to have come to the conclusion to wait.
Quite polite.
"I'm working here, hurry up..."
As Liang Ye spoke, he made an embarrassed gesture to them, indicating that it would be over soon.
"...Emergency mission? But from my side...uh...ok, okay. Just wait, I'll call you back as soon as I'm done."
Liang Ye hung up the phone, put away his phone, and smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry, work matters come one after another, and the overtime work is endless... By the way, where did we just come from?"
The villagers continued to look at each other.
A few seconds later.
Bang.
The wall was pierced by the huge force, and the bricks and stones fell to the ground with a crash. A young man in the village was blasted through the wall and flew out. He rolled on the ground several times and became motionless.
Immediately afterwards, the window was blasted to pieces with a clang, and two shadows were shot out from inside. Then in the direction of the door, several more villagers fell onto the path outside the door and rolled around.
"The infected...the infected...are all infected."
While Liang Ye was talking, he casually removed a young man's shoulder, and then knocked the latter away with a shoulder collision, smashing the cabinet against the wall.
"Are they all infected? It's good, it saves trouble..."
He moved his body to avoid the kitchen knife coming from behind, grabbed the opponent in front of him and broke his neck.
After a while, villagers who had fallen to the ground were already lying everywhere inside and outside the house.
Liang Ye clapped his hands and walked towards the bronze mirror among the crowd.
"It should be the source of infection?"
But the moment he stretched out his hand to touch the mirror, an astonishing force suddenly erupted from the mirror. Liang Ye was immediately thrown back and flew out of the room. He rolled backwards and stood up from a squatting position.
, squinting his eyes and looking forward.
A majestic momentum burst out from the mirror, and a huge gap was punched through the roof. A gel-like black thing gathered together and gradually gained entity.
A huge twisted monster, its body is like a thing made up of countless vine-like things intertwined together. It does not have the physiological structure of ordinary animals, its entire body twists together, and its dark shell is covered with wrinkles.
"Did you swallow a lot of energy and become like this?"
Liang Ye stood up and twisted his neck joints.
The monster's whole body twisted, as if its entire body had turned into a huge slap and crashed down towards Liang Ye, as powerful as the sky and the earth.
Liang Ye raised his head, looked at it expressionlessly, and lightly clenched his fists.
boom!!!
lightning.
Like God's sharp sword, it split the world into two halves. Thunder rolled from the sky, like a blue waterfall falling, and blue waves exploded on the ground.
...
"Yes, it's me, Liang Ye."
Liang Ye put on his backpack again, packed his things and prepared to leave.
The roof had been penetrated, and villagers were lying everywhere inside and outside. A huge pit was left in the open space outside the door, like someone had taken away a piece of cake. The pit was scorched black, and black smoke was slowly rising.
"Yes, it's over. Don't worry, of course there will be no residue. Aren't you still worried about me doing the work?"
He was talking on the phone and preparing to leave the house.
"Is this an urgent mission? Okay, just ask the plane to go to the coordinates I sent you. I'll be there soon... eh?"
He felt someone pulling on his ankle.
It's the old man who lives in this room.
The old man and the old woman crawled on the ground and grabbed his trouser legs with trembling hands.
"Please...kill us too..."
Liang Ye glanced at the two old men and was silent for a moment.
"Thank you for the hospitality. The dinner was delicious."
He smiled.
"But I'm still sorry, you are not infected. I only kill infected people."
He turned around and left without looking back.
