The rain washed the raw meat on the ground, and the smell of blood filled the nose, which greatly affected the appetite.
The village chief's eyes were cruel because of the reflection of blood. But when he raised his head again, he looked respectful again: "Everyone is joking, it's hot and dry here, and there are no bees."
As an excellent liberal arts student, Suer denied this statement, and his attitude changed abruptly after popularizing knowledge: "God's messenger is understanding, and if it's really troublesome, we won't force it."
Li Zicang emphasized again: "But fruits and vegetables must be given enough."
Hit a stick to give a date, although they are very dissatisfied with their behavior of not eating raw meat, but compared to the tricky requirements such as honey dew, vegetables are among the acceptable range.
Sur turned to look at Trillion, arrogant.
Trillion understands, pushes down the sugar coat of Su, in a bad tone: "You, cook!"
The village chief said quickly: "Just leave this kind of rough work to us."
Trillion: "We have to clean the food we eat nine to eighty times, and the seasoning is even more accurate, which ordinary humans can't do."
"… "
The corner of the village chief's mouth twitched, and he focused on Su Tangying... petite and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
Compared to the others, this girl looked harmless and easily bullied, and hesitated to say to a young guy, "Let this angel go to the kitchen."
After a full hour, the rain almost stopped, and Su Tangying returned.
The village chief glared at the young man, dissatisfied that he had been gone for so long.
The boy is very helpless.
Who would have thought that this girl really washed a few vegetable leaves eighty-one times, and only gently stroked it with her fingertips every time she washed it. There were times when he almost couldn't help but yell at him. Since he was afraid of washing it, he couldn't clean it a few times less. !
The green vegetables served on the table, together with the bloody pig's head, are simply pleasing to the eye.
Su Er slowly ate a vegetable leaf in his mouth, and gave Ji Heng a piece: "This place is different from the treatment in heaven, so I will order it soon."
Ji Heng's movements were more graceful, and he said softly, "The village chief just wanted to scold you, but held back."
Sur: "Call me?"
"From the point of view of mouth shape, it seems that he wants to denounce 'treacherous people'."
Sur curled his lips slightly, very dissatisfied, he was clearly the envoy.
Seeing that he has completely taken the role, Ji Heng couldn't help but laugh a little.
Feeling that if they continue to get along with each other, their longevity will be ruined by anger, the village chief's tone is slightly cold: "Are you full?"
Sur gave up the provocation and nodded.
"The people of the village are simple and honest, and they do not close their households at night. I hope you can follow the local customs."
After the village chief said this, the villagers began to withdraw from the table.
The children couldn't help, they chased and laughed. The adults scolded a few words before pouting and reluctantly going home.
After paying attention to the movements of these children for a while, Sur ignored the busy villagers, and returned to the room with his hands behind his back with a gesture of throwing his hands at the shopkeeper.
The sound of packing things outside came from time to time, and players gathered in the same room to discuss things.
Li Zicang took out the mirror and put his hand on the now calm peach heart: "Whenever there is a crisis of life and death, the peach heart will beat, which is equivalent to a crisis alarm."
After experiencing three life-and-death crises, he was able to leave alive, except for the calls for help in the desert, and now there are only two left.
"According to this inference, the danger to the village should not be much."
However, people always feel that something is not right. Even a novice here, can feel the strangeness of the village.
Trillion looked at Su Tangying: "Did you find out when you went to the kitchen?"
Su Tangying shook his head: "Everything is normal."
The amount of information is too small, and the results of the discussions cannot be dispersed. Yizhu walked at the back, and before going out, her eyes lingered on Su Er, and said with a smile, "The village chief specially reminded you not to close the house at night, and don't break the rules easily."
Sur shuddered and turned his neck stiffly: "God said that he will pick us up in three days, and we must hurry up and go out to collect clues."
Ji Heng smiled and said nothing.
Thinking of Yizhu's look before leaving, Su Er pinched his brows and was very puzzled: "Don't all girls like the type that brings a sense of security?"
Among several male players, he is the only one who is not satisfied with this at all.
"Resonance." Ji Heng said lightly: "Yizhu hates the shackles of secular etiquette, let alone the fetters between parents and children."
Sur was stunned for a moment, and the two did have similarities in this regard.
The game arranged a false and perfect life for them, but unfortunately it was useless.
Seeing his silence, Ji Heng changed the subject: "Puppy love is not good."
Sur just thought of the experience in the copy of Wudu, who would have expected the topic to turn unexpectedly: "Huh?"
Ji Heng: "I'll let Yao Zhi pay more attention."
The subtext is that the next math test results are backwards, which is the pot of puppy love.
"..." Sur almost didn't swear: "I have no love for Yizhu at all."
Since ancient times, there have been people who suffer from the same disease, and rarely fall in love with the same disease. Because people like to chase the missing parts of themselves in the other half, Suer is not immune to the vulgarity, and prefers to be mature and stable.
The noisy movement outside gradually subsided. He went out to take a look. All the tables and chairs for the banquet had been removed. When he came back, Sur bowed his head and thought: "The village is not particularly short of water."
The villagers wear plain clothes, but they are neat, and there is no odor on their bodies, which proves that they are washing normally every day.
"But when it rains during the day, they are more excited than each other."
Ji Heng's lips curved sarcastically: "Perhaps the real joy is the arrival of the divine envoy."
Glancing at the sky outside the window, and waiting patiently for a while, Ji Heng stood up when the world was completely silent, "Go out and have a look."
It was not because the village chief was deliberately tossing and talking nonsense that the house was not closed at night. The two stood in the dark and observed for a while. Every house opened their doors as far as they could see, and they didn't even do basic concealment.
Sur whispered: "Maybe this village is full of living dead, at least those children are not normal."
Ji Heng didn't know where he got his judgment.
Sur: "The door is wide open. There must be no nightlife. If there is no nightlife, where do the children come from?"
"… "
It sounds absurd at first glance, but the logic is meticulous when you think about it. Ji Heng sighed softly, "It was very thoughtful."
Sur's angle is clear: "So we have to start with the few families with children."
When eating in the afternoon, he felt strange that he had only seen seven or eight children in total. The population of the village is not large, but it is impossible to have only such a few children.
When the banquet was over, Sur paid special attention to the movements of the children, pointed to the west side and said, "In the innermost two rows of houses, there is a family with children."
The moment he took a step, he was pulled by Ji Heng, and when he vaguely heard a movement coming from behind, Su Er quickly held his breath.
Ji Heng motioned to look over.
From a hidden place all the way to the back, they met on a narrow road, and found that it was Su Tangying and Yizhu.
Su Tangying whispered: "We are going to the entrance of the village."
During the day, the villagers were still surrounded by groups, and at night they relaxed their supervision, as if they were certain that they would not be able to escape.
Sur also confessed to where to go, and offered theories on nightlife. After listening, Su Tangying looked at him with a very subtle look, while Yizhu flipped her hair: "It's hard to find bosom friends."
Sur gave a stiff smile and changed the subject: "Where's the trillion?"
Su Tangying: "Go to the well with Li Zicang."
ho-
Just as they were about to go their separate ways, a sudden sound made several people stop at the same time.
Only the sound of the wind wafts by now and then when you prick up your ears and listen carefully. No one moved without authorization, and for a full five minutes, they stood still like a sculpture. Before the patience ran out, the strange voice appeared again, it was hoarse and dry, making people feel like a cat scratched their hearts.
Ji Heng and Su Er glanced at each other, then bent over to peek in through the window, Su Tangying and Yizhu were in charge of watching the wind.
The people in the room were curled up and rolled in pain. The bed was too narrow, and his movements were so large that he fell directly on the hard floor.
"Water." After a heavy fall, the man didn't cry out in pain, just kept clamoring for water.
He climbed to the table, tried to support himself, bit the spout and poured water down his throat. The water in the pot was empty in the blink of an eye, but the man's thirst was not relieved in the slightest.
Through Moonlight Sur, he could see the skin on his body clearly, the shrinkage was quite severe, and the lips were chapped and bleeding.
It was uncomfortable to bow for a long time. After watching the man's painful struggle for a while, Sur took a step to the left, straightened up and lightly hammered his waist. Not knowing what to think, he suddenly ran to a house diagonally opposite.
The same scene is playing out inside the house, with a couple clamoring for water.
About half an hour later, the homeowner's wrinkled skin returned to normal, he got up from the ground and patted the soil on his body, and stood with his hands down at his sides and his head lowered. Suer stared at it for a few seconds, and found that the other party's shoulder moved, and immediately moved aside and pressed against the wall.
Almost at the same time as he dodged, the husband turned his head sharply, the window was empty except for the swaying shadows of trees.
"What are you looking at?" the wife asked.
Husband: "Looks like someone."
Wife: "Maybe it's a mouse... Go and change into clean clothes, the prayer is about to begin."
Sur did not dare to stay any longer, and withdrew very carefully.
The previously spied location was empty.
Looking around, he finally found an arrow on the wall, he followed it, Ji Heng and others stood under an ancient tree not far away.
"It's not a coincidence," Sur said as he walked. "People here seem to be almost dehydrated from thirst at night, and they say they want to pray."
Hearing the word 'prayer', Ji Heng's eyes changed slightly: "Then wait."
This wait is another twenty minutes.
The moon climbed a little higher, and a dark cloud floated over, blocking most of the moonlight.
In the middle of the night, people from every household came out, without communicating with each other, and went silently in one direction.
Sur found that there were no fat people in this village, and the villagers were all skinny. It is not conspicuous during the day, but now the night wind blows into the wide clothes, like a ghost wandering at night.
"Would you like to follow me?" He was a little undecided for a while.
There are many people on the other side. Once they are found to be tearing their faces, they are more likely to suffer.
Ji Heng: "My situation is not very good, let's go and see."
Followed not far or near, everyone carefully observed.
"There are no children among these people," Ji Heng glanced at Suer after following a distance: "Most of your inferences are correct."
The clue gap is to be opened from the village children.
