What Xin Meng was puzzled about was this card. It only had one simple sentence, but she couldn't figure out its meaning.
Seeing that it was almost getting dark, You Yi turned over and jumped out of the window, taking the card from Xin Meng's hand, "Imagination is useless, you will know when the time comes."
Xin Meng stretched tiredly, "You're right, let's think about how to clear the level first. Let's take Xiong Jiabao and go to the valley to have a look first."
He returned to Xiong Jiabao's room and found Wu Xuehua sitting by the bed. When he saw them coming in, he smiled at them.
"Have you finished talking? Why did it take so long? I even missed dinner! Are you hungry? There is still food in the kitchen. I'll heat it up for you?"
Wu Xuehua's attitude was very warm. Xin Meng thought of the meat and shook her head quickly, "No, no, no, there's no need to bother, we're not hungry."
Wu Xuehua wrapped her fingers around the ends of her hair and said with a playful smile, "It's no trouble, you saved my cousin and the lives of other villagers. My dad said that you are the benefactors of Xiuse Village. We are all special." Thanks!”
The girl's expression was sincere, but Xin Meng really had no appetite. He looked at You Yi, You Yi shook his head, and Xin Meng said, "It's really no need, we don't want to eat."
"Okay then," Wu Xuehua pouted and pointed at the glasses of water on the table, "You have to drink water, right?"
Xin Meng was embarrassed to refuse again and nodded quickly. Wu Xuehua pointed at Xiong Jiabao and said, "I have given him this special herb from the mountains. We all drink it when we are sick, but it works. No, his fever is also a little bit... If you withdraw, I guess you won’t have to wait until tomorrow to get better.”
Xin Meng followed her finger to look at Xiong Jiabao, only to see that Xiong Jiabao's face was indeed not that red, but there was still a little pink on his cheeks. He was looking straight at Wu Xuehua's lips, with all the color in his eyes. It's going to overflow.
Xin Meng: "..."
He probably already knows how to give the medicine...
Even without his legs, he still has his mind on all things
What a great feeling!
Xin Meng's remaining sympathy for him was gone.
The phrase "poor people must be hateful", if used to describe Xiong Jiabao, it is simply too appropriate.
Before Wu Xuehua left, she also told them to drink water quickly, otherwise they would get cold. She was very considerate, and she was actually a good girl. However, because of some of the things she had done to someone before, Xin Meng still couldn't develop a good impression of her...
Looking at the glass of water, Xin Meng walked over and picked up the cup. This time the cup was washed very clean. There was clear water inside, and it was still steaming slightly. The temperature from the wall of the cup was just right for the mouth. Xin Meng was indeed thirsty and wanted to drink water, but the cup was almost put to his lips. He suddenly remembered that the water in the village was taken from the reservoir, and many dead bodies had just been soaked in that water...
His stomach was churning. Xin Meng quickly put the water glass back on the table and kept it at a distance, but his lips were still a little dry. He swallowed and was about to endure it when he saw an unopened bottle of mineral water being brought to him. He looked up and saw that it was You Yi.
In fact, the most considerate person should be this man...
Xin Meng took the mineral water and rolled her eyes with a smile.
Xiong Jiabao tried hard to sit up, but he couldn't support his upper body at all. He waved his hands and shouted, "Quick, bring me that glass of water, the one with the yellow cup!"
Xin Meng took a look and saw that there was indeed a yellow tea vat, "Why do you want this?"
"Because that's Huahua, no, Xuehua's cup!" Xiong Jiabao's face turned red. Xin Meng rolled her eyes immediately, picked up the cup and stuffed it into Xiong Jiabao's hand, and said angrily, "Drink quickly! After drinking, let's get out of the valley quickly and we can clear the level!"
Xiong Jiabao was stunned and said, "Have you found a way to clear the customs?"
"It's not certain yet, but it's very likely," Xin Meng simply told him the analysis he had made, and then said, "Let's go up the mountain road and see if we can get out."
Xiong Jiabao's face changed a little, and he said with a grimace, "Brother, my legs are like this, I can't bear the torment..."
"Then what should we do?" Xin Meng asked, "You don't want to go out? That's fine. As long as we go out, you should also be considered cleared."
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant," Xiong Jiabao said pitifully, "I mean... how about you go up and take a look first? If you can really go out, please come back to pick me up. Anyway, anyway, then The ghost is gone, and it won’t be long..."
Xin Meng's face was a little dark and she said nothing.
"I also know that this is not very loyal, but I can't help it. I bleed whenever I move my legs. If I can't go out, I have to come back. There is no hospital or anything like this here, so there is no way to transfuse blood. If I lose too much blood, I will die again..." Xiong Jiabao put the teapot aside, clasped his hands together, and begged with a flattering smile, "And even if you go out first, I may not be able to clear the level immediately. What if I It will take until the wound is infected and you die... As you know, if you die three times, you will be completely dead. You can't even go back to reality. My mother is still waiting for me at home... "
Xiong Jiabao talked about what might happen, and the more he talked about it, the sadder he became, and Xin Meng couldn't bear it.
"I can't afford to gamble, brother Xin. I already died once in the last game, so I only have two chances left..." Xiong Jiabao said with tears really coming out. He wiped his eyes with his arms and looked at them. How pitiful.
Xin Meng pursed her lips and said, "Then don't sleep, we will be back soon."
Xiong Jiabao nodded quickly.
After Xin Meng and the two left the door, he happily picked up the tea vat again, and drank the water in the cup in small sips with a crazy look on his face, trying to lick every place on the mouth of the vat that Wu Xuehua might have drank from. My mind was filled with the soft touch when I was being given medicine, and I didn’t even taste the bitterness of the herbal soup...
Repeatedly recalling the beautiful feelings at that time, Xiong Jiabao smiled and closed his eyes.
Xin Meng and You Yi ran up the mountain road and soon came to the end. As expected, the originally blocked wall outside had disappeared, replaced by a kind of dark chaos, which was exactly the same as the small door they had passed through before.
"It's true!" Xin Meng was so happy that she wanted to rush over immediately, but thinking of Xiong Jiabao, she tried to hold it back and turned around to go back to pick up the person.
When he was about to reach the village chief's house, You Yi suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Wait, something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Xin Meng looked around and found nothing wrong. He then looked at the closed window of Xiong Jiabao's house. It seemed that it had been opened just now? But why don’t you just close the window, there’s nothing strange about it
You Yi glanced at him, "This village is very primitive. Have you seen candles?"
Xin Meng was stunned, "No," and then he suddenly reacted, turned his head sharply, and looked at the window of the village chief's bedroom!
There's candlelight in there!
"Did there originally be candles in the village?" Xin Meng murmured, "That's right, they also said that occasionally people would leave the valley and go outside..."
It makes sense, but perhaps because of You Yi's cautious state, Xin Meng also felt uneasy. The two stopped talking and groped toward the window softly. When they reached the window, Xin Meng He carefully raised his head and exposed one eye from under the window. When he looked inside, his eyes widened immediately. He covered his mouth in disbelief and almost screamed!
Blood, blood everywhere!
Xiong Jiabao, whose lower legs were exposed, was placed on a long table. A deep mark was cut out on his neck. There was only a thin layer of flesh connecting his head and body. He lost his heart as a source of power and had no blood. If it squirts out again, it will already be dead!
The ground has become a pool of blood.
Wu Dacheng, the enthusiastic and responsible village chief they were familiar with, Wu Xuehua, who they thought was pure, kind and a good girl just a moment ago, and Wu Deli, who was so grateful for their life-saving grace in the afternoon that he was about to cry, and was wearing a suit that was also stained with blood. Wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife in his hand, he cut off Xiong Jiabao's corpse one after another, cutting off long strips of flesh...
This time, Xin Meng was so scared that her legs weakened and she almost fell to the ground. Her fingers were trembling and the corners of her eyes were moist. Fortunately, You Yi on the side hugged him in time so that he didn't make too much noise. His expression also changed. Not pretty.
The voices of people inside were heard.
"I've been lucky lately. There's always fresh meat. This time everyone can have a hearty meal." This is Wu Dacheng.
"Yes, and I heard that they have dealt with those ghosts, and what happened last time will not happen again, and we can eat meat well again," Wu Deli said, "I cooked that woman's meat last time, and the result was Many of the villagers who ate have died, and even the outsiders can't escape (liǎo). It's so scary. Everyone has been eating vegetables honestly recently, and their faces have turned green. I told Xuehua that if in the future If you can’t even eat that meat, you might as well die.”
"You just worry too much. No matter how powerful those ghosts are, can they still kill (two) people in the village?" Wu Xuehua said contemptuously, "They didn't escape our stomachs when they were alive, and they can still turn over when they are dead. God can’t do it!”
"Don't tell me, this time it's a bit scary," Wu Dacheng said seriously, "For so many years, the villagers have lured outsiders in and shared the food. Now these people have died and turned into ghosts. It's really scary. Jianwei's family has The family is dead!"
Wu Deli asked quickly, "What about the bodies of Uncle Jianwei and others... and Xiaomei's..."
Wu Dacheng teased, "I know you are thinking about Xiaomei. I have shared Jianwei and Dongzi's meat with everyone, and I will keep Xiaomei's for you. After all, you two are still engaged and will get married sooner or later. I will leave it all to you." , and others can’t say anything.”
Wu Deli was overjoyed: "Leave everything to me?! That's great! Thank you, uncle!"
The people inside laughed again and again, and Xin Meng outside almost vomited his stomach. You Yi simply covered his ears, but Xin Meng shook his head, even if he was holding back his nausea, he still wanted to know the whole truth.
The conversation in the room continued.
"It's a pity that those outsiders have been buried by their companions, and the meat is too dirty to eat," Wu Deli said regretfully.
"The one that was left in our house was so chewed up that there wasn't even a ounce of meat left on the bones. I took out the internal organs and put them in the kitchen. I simply gave the skeleton back to them in exchange for trust. The other one... is in the reservoir, folks. They all went to grab the meat of Jianwei and the others, and they didn't take care of that person. Moreover, it was not easy to act too obviously in front of outsiders to alert them, so they made a mistake," Wu Dacheng said, "But it's okay, the remaining three people It’s enough for our whole village to share two kilograms of meat.”
"Speaking of which, where did the other two people go?" Wu Deli asked curiously, "They didn't run away, did they?"
"No," Wu Xuehua said quickly, "I added medicine to the water. They would fall over as soon as they drank the water, but they seemed to go out to the mountains immediately after drinking it. The effects of the medicine should have taken effect by now. I don't know where they are. They are rolling on the mountain road. Let’s take care of this and then go look for them on the mountain. We will definitely find them.”
