Ren Baqian and his party entered the stockade, and saw more than a hundred stone houses arranged in a circle in the stockade, and there was a huge open space in the middle of the stockade. popularity.
Ren Baqian took a closer look at the houses on both sides. Although they were stone houses commonly seen by the ancient people, the stones here were the same as the land, with a mottled dark red color, as if they had been stained with blood.
Pushing open the door of a stone house, there is only a wooden bed, a table, three stools and a cabinet inside.
In addition, there are two people.
Two men and women in their thirties and forties, with blue-gray all over their bodies and no clothes, were sitting on the bed, staring straight ahead.
Ren Baqian walked up to the two of them and took a look, the eyes of the two were the same as the two just now, without a trace of expression, like the eyes of a dead person.
Ren Baqian touched the foreheads of the two of them, the temperature was warm, but lower than normal.
After exploring his nose, he was still breathing, but very slowly and lightly.
I wanted to put my hand on the woman's heart to sense the heartbeat, but considering the thickness of the fat in the other person's heart, it is not easy to feel the heartbeat, so I finally pressed my hand on the man's heart.
The heart beats about ten times a minute.
"What are you doing?" The empress asked when she walked into the room and saw Ren Baqian put her hand on the man's heart.
"Their heartbeats are very slow, about ten beats per minute, and eighty beats for normal people." Ren Baqian said, turning his head and said.
The heartbeat of the ancient people is about 80 beats, probably to supply sufficient blood and energy to the body, so it is faster than ordinary people.
"Oh!" The Empress nodded.
"Look at the other rooms." Ren Baqian walked to the door and took the Empress's hand and went out.
I went into seven or eight rooms in a row, and the conditions inside were pretty much the same. In each room, there were people sitting there, men or women, the same without clothes, no matter the skin color, the dead eyes, or the condition of the body. , are almost less.
If it wasn't for breathing and heartbeat, Ren Baqian would have felt like puppets made of clay.
When entering another room, Ren Baqian suddenly said, "Did Your Majesty notice a problem?"
"What?"
"It seems that there are no young people or children." Ren Baqian said with a frown.
Letting Baqian say that, the empress also remembered that the houses she entered just now were filled with people over the age of thirty or forty, not only did they have no children, there were no young people in their teens or twenties.
It's normal for one or two houses, but it's not normal if it happens in seven or eight houses.
Even according to the proportion, the proportion of young people and children under the age of thirty will not be less than one-third.
After all, the lifespan of ordinary ancient people is only a hundred years old.
"Look again..." Ren Baqian had entered the primary school student mode at this time, and he had never encountered such a strange thing or such a weird village in his life, which aroused his curiosity.
"Justice!" the Empress called out to Justice as soon as she left the door: "Have someone check all the rooms to see if there are any youths and children under the age of 30."
Ren Baqian didn't care about the queen's arrangement, but pushed through the doors one by one to look at them. When he walked through half of the houses, there was news from the fair side: "There are no young people or children in all the houses."
Then Ren Baqian, the Empress and the others found a corner to rest in the village, waiting to see what would happen at night.
According to Yasheng's words, these people will come to life at night.
Ren Baqian pondered for a long time during his break, but he didn't think of anything, but he had many messy and unreliable thoughts.
For example, the upper body of the ghost, for example, the people here have died many years ago.
After all, it is very close to Diyin Spring, but only a day's journey away.
According to legend, the Yin Spring is the passage to the world of death.
Coupled with the weirdness in this village, Ren Baqian's imagination ran wild.
When everyone arrived, it was already close to Shen Shi, that is, around 3 pm.
After waiting for another two hours, night began to fall.
When the sun completely set, a strange smell began to permeate in the cottage.
It smells like earthy smell.
Afterwards, various voices began to appear in the village that had been silent all this time.
The sounds of stretching, talking, and sighing came from the stone houses.
Ren Baqian's eyes were fixed on the two people thrown on the ground not far ahead.
As night fell, the old man and the middle-aged woman opened their eyes one after another, looked around, as if they didn't see everyone, they walked towards the stone house in the village on their own.
Following the footsteps of the two, other people also came out of the room one after another, all naked, with a stiff expression, and greeted the people around them.
"Musu, have you dealt with today's prey?"
"That was three days ago, your memory is getting worse and worse!"
"Xu Dalian, you don't even have any clothes on, you just come out with a flick of a cock! Be careful that the elder beats you to death!"
"Xu Yier, aren't you going to Yacheng? When are you leaving?"
"Who saw my kid? I don't know where he went last night. I searched all day but couldn't find it."
"Auntie, do you have any wild vegetables? Grab some for me."
The Empress, Ren Baqian, and Fei Qi all frowned as they watched the suddenly "lively" village.
"Your Majesty, that person should be named Xu Dalian. People asked him that he didn't wear any clothes, but he asked another person when he was going to Yacheng... The conversations of these people didn't match up at all. They weren't talking at all, but He was talking about something that was pre-ordered." Ren Baqian patted the back of the Empress's hand and said.
The empress nodded, without Ren Baqian saying, she could see it too.
But Ren Baqian is more familiar with this phenomenon than the Empress.
This reminded him of the np in the game.
Speak exactly as programmed.
This is what the people in the village gave him.
"It's kind of weird!" Justice stood aside and said with his arms in his arms. "There are so many of us here, and none of these people have seen it."
Soon, one of the phenomena caught the attention of Ren Baqian and the others.
Thirty or forty people formed a team and walked out of the stockade.
"Follow and have a look." Ren Baqian immediately jumped up from the ground.
Ren Baqian and the others didn't shy away from it, they just walked through the middle of the village and followed the group of people out of the village.
After walking for about half an hour, those people stopped at a place full of pits, and then dug the ground around them with their hands.
Soon, Ren Baqian knew what these people were digging for.
Each one is as long as a child's arm, and the whole body is blue.
Those people grabbed the wriggling bugs one by one, each of them grabbed five or six with both hands, and then stood in a line and walked back to the stockade as before.
During the whole process, those people still said certain things according to the established procedures.
Weird!
Looking at those people, Ren Baqian's hairs stood on end.
