As time goes by, we are getting farther and farther away from the city center of Yancheng, and closer to the suburbs.
Sometimes I really feel that Yancheng is a very magical place. This does not refer to the weird things I encountered after I came to this city. Although those experiences are also wonderful, the city itself has a subtle leisure and comfort.
Looking around, there are towering hills in the distance, undulating endlessly at the boundary of sight. The sky was slightly gloomy, with large clouds sinking in mid-air, and the surroundings were silent, except that occasionally two sparrows would chirp twice and fly away quickly.
"Is this right here?" Bai lay on the window glass, his small eyes widened, "Isn't it too quiet? You can't even hear a human voice."
Indeed, we had already parked the car at the entrance of the village, but we couldn't hear anything around us except the chirping of birds.
"Come down and have a look." Wen Jiubai said as he unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car. I quickly put my backpack on and followed Wen Jiubai out.
"There is nothing wrong here." Wen Jiubai leaned on the car and took out his mobile phone. I saw him looking up the map, "But there should be at least four or five hundred people in this village. Where are the people now?"
Wen Jiubai's muttering gave me some bad premonitions. We parked the car in place and walked into the village together.
Sure enough, as I expected, even after entering the village, it was eerily quiet inside. He didn't see anyone along the way, nor did he see the big men that Wen Jiubai said he had entrusted to him. Instead, there were some crows perched on the beams of the house, croaking unpleasantly.
Wen Jiubai frowned, and stopped abruptly, causing me to almost accidentally bump into his back.
"Bai." Wen Jiubai said in a low voice, "Go and take a look at the family next door."
"Ah? What are you looking at?" Bai asked.
"Just go, hurry up."
Bai didn't dare to disobey Wen Jiubai's order, although he looked puzzled, he still ran over quickly. In the blink of an eye it had disappeared from my sight.
I raised my head to look at Wen Jiubai, the latter had a very serious expression, his brows were furrowed, and he didn't have the casual attitude of not being serious at all.
is something happened
It didn't take long for Bai to come back in a hurry. He ran so fast that he staggered halfway.
"No, it's not good, Wen Jiubai, inside—"
What's inside, Bai didn't finish. But Wen Jiubai and I don't need to listen to him at all, because Bai's snow-white little paws are now stained with blood red.
"Oops." Wen Jiubai yelled secretly, and immediately ran to that room. I was stunned for a second, then realized, and immediately followed.
The house that Bai went to check was an ordinary thatched hut, the kind you can see everywhere in the countryside. It can only accommodate a family of three. The door is made of wood and the walls are made of plank bricks.
Wen Jiubai pushed open the door violently, and the scene inside is something I will never forget.
In the small thatched hut, from the floor to the ceiling, everything was stained red by splashed blood. The inside was a mess. piled together on the ground.
Messy... It's not enough to describe this scene. It is simply hell on earth.
I froze in place, feeling stomach acid surging upwards. I took several deep breaths before barely stopping the urge to vomit.
"There should be four people in this family." Wen Jiubai frowned slightly, and looked at the layout of the house, "The husband, wife, and two boys were all eaten by the Gu carvings that broke into the house."
"This is too..." Even Bai was too shocked to speak.
"Go and see another house." Wen Jiubai was very calm, and retreated from this bloody room, not forgetting to close the wooden door behind him.
We went into several houses around, and the results were without exception. The bloody scenes stimulated my nerves again and again.
The entire village was slaughtered to the ground. So far, we haven't even found a living person.
The deeper you go into the village, the more frightening the sights you see. At first it was just a scene of misery inside the house, but the more one walked in, the more excited the gu sculpture seemed to be, blood and corpses spread from the inside of the house to the outside, there were mottled bloodstains on the ground, stone slabs, and even tree branches.
"It seems that this Gu sculpture is getting more and more excited. At first it just secretly dragged the people out of the house and ate them, then it broke into the house, and now it has completely turned into a killing hell. "Wen Jiubai murmured.
"Gu Yu, what's wrong with you?" Bai Yuanyuan stopped following Wen Jiubai, turned his head to look at me, and asked in doubt.
That's right, I'm squatting on the ground right now, trembling all over, I can't control my body at all, let alone stand up, I can't even move a finger.
However, it's not because of me...it's mostly because the soul named Xiaobai hiding in my body is too scared to control itself.
"Gu Yu?"
It's all right now, even Wen Jiubai seemed to notice something was wrong and turned around, "What's wrong with you?"
This is the most embarrassing situation in history. At this juncture, I can't leisurely explain to Wen Jiubai why there is a woman's soul in my body.
Almost without thinking, I blurted out, "I'm sorry, that... my stomach hurts."
"Stomach pain?" Bai looked at me strangely, "Did you eat anything at noon?"
"No, I don't know..."
The situation is not good, and now I can hardly even control myself to speak.
"That!" I raised my voice all of a sudden, and said with difficulty, "Go ahead first, I have to find a toilet for my convenience. It's just a good time for the soldiers to observe the village in two directions, right?"
I felt Wen Jiubai's two gazes wandering behind my back, but he still didn't say much in the end.
"Okay, be careful. Call me if you need anything."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Jiubai probably thought that I was stimulated by watching the scene just now... It can't be helped, who told me to act like a coward.
It must be Hinashiro who was stimulated. But as a wandering soul who has wandered for hundreds of years, how could she be frightened into such a state by the picture of the dead
After Wen Jiubai and Bai walked out of sight, I opened my mouth softly.
"Chibai, Chibai? Are you there?"
