Chapter 34 The old village chief (9)
"Just those three people who ran out?" At this time, Qinhuai's head was covered with a layer of dense beads of sweat. It was obvious that this depressing and heavy story affected his mind.
Likewise, I was so nervous. I simply didn't dare to put myself in those villagers' shoes and imagine how I would feel.
Master said: "There are more than just those three, listen to me."
As Master told us, we continued to follow the story back to that depressing and desperate small mountain village.
The days are passing by, and in the last five days, the villagers have become a little numb, and all the chickens and ducks have died. The next round will be the pigs, cows and other things in the village.
No one cares about money anymore. In front of life, what else is more important?
Therefore, people simply drove out the pigs, cows and so on. Anyway, they would die if they were kept at home, so they might as well let them out. Thinking about those things coming to the house, it makes people feel scared and panicked.
In the last three days, all the larger domestic animals were dead, including the dogs raised by the villagers. At this time, the village showed a strange kind of despair. Think about it, a village with no living creatures except people.
What a kind of death!
More and more people like to gather together in the ancestral hall. Even if they are in a daze, they still gather like this. In an increasingly gloomy life, who still has the heart to work?
At this time, a villager walked to the ancestral hall, his face calm and heavy, and he said: "I felt depressed, so I went out for a walk, and then I saw that all the fish had turned white."
There was a dead silence. The fish is dead? Everyone had this thought in their mind, and then they all sat numbly. If it dies, just die. Since the death of the old village chief, no one in the village has mentioned it at all.
As for the harvest of fish, so be it if they die.
Anyway, what they have heard the most these days is nothing more than death.
But should we continue to be numb like this? The answer is no, because on the penultimate day, someone died in the village, and it was a child!
Due to the unrest these days, the villagers all choose to lock their children at home, and they don't have much thought to take care of them. But where are the children kept? Therefore, they will sneak out to play.
!
This child also died in a remote corner. What happened was that a group of children had had enough fun and went home!
Then something happened to the child. The villagers looked at the child's body silently. The little body was curled up, with its eyes open in fear, but the neck was at a special, twisted angle, which was obviously injured.
Broken.
In addition, his face was pale, and the two obvious holes on his neck had turned white, indicating that the blood had been sucked dry.
This village has had legends about zombies since ancient times, and corpses have also been burned. Naturally, people knew what the old village chief had become!
"Ah" is the voice of the child's father wailing to the sky.
"How can you be so cruel that you won't even let a child go?" was the sad cry of the child's mother.
This is an unprecedented horror. As soon as people think of an unknown creature that has been peeping at them in the dark, they feel hairy in their hearts. Finally, people explode!
"It's going to kill us all, let's fight it, I'll fight it!"
"Even if I only have one life, waiting for death will be death, fighting will be death, and I will fight too!"
"That's it, I don't want to wait to die anymore, I'll fight for it!"
"Fight"
"Fight"
Because of the child's death, the crowd became excited, and everyone began to gather together and think of a solution!
The strategy was discussed in the village ancestral hall. After the discussion, everyone went home.
And that night, another death occurred in the village, this time an old couple who died without children. The death condition was the same, they were frightened, their bodies were twisted, and their blood was sucked dry.
It can also be said that this time it was even worse, because all the bones in the deceased's body were broken in many places!
People became calm and persistent, and they silently collected the bodies of the old couple. Someone suggested: "Don't scatter, everyone, just gather in the ancestral hall. I don't believe that more than 200 people can't survive!"
People stopped going home and began to gather at the ancestral hall. The men were busy, expanding the ancestral hall and building thick walls around the ancestral hall. The women were also busy cooking, sharpening knives for the men and so on.
Some people say that zombies are afraid of dog blood, but where are the dogs in the village? Some people say that zombies are afraid of fire, so they piled firewood and a lot of wine in the corner of the ancestral hall! Anyway, it was a fight!
After gathering at the ancestral hall, there were no more deaths in the village. I don’t know if it was because of its popularity, but people didn’t even dream anymore!
Some people are happy about this and feel that their resistance has finally paid off, while others are worried about it and feel that it is the calm before the storm!
Zhao Jun was a worried person. His grandfather had been a Taoist priest for a period of time. Of course, he only read a few books and learned some country-style Taoist priests. But even then, he still knew a lot.
Grandpa has passed away a long time ago, but when Zhao Jun was young, he told him many taboos of various kinds, including some things about zombies.
Zhao Jun knew that the zombies were powerful, but very powerful. They were said to be afraid of fire, but ordinary fire could not burn them. What kind of Yang fire must be used? The heavier the Yang energy, the better.
Do you want to sit back and wait for death? Zhao Jun is not willing to accept it! Do you want to resist with everyone? Zhao Jun feels that there is not much hope. Powerful zombies can massacre the city. This is an ancient legend. He believes it now. He feels that more than 200 people are not enough!
Zhao Jun had an idea that everyone should run away together that night. That night when the old village chief came to seek revenge, he would no longer play tricks on the wall. If everyone ran away together, there was no telling how many more could escape!
He expressed his idea, but after trying it many times, how could the desperate villagers still listen to him? Besides, it was scary to leave the crowd now, so everyone rejected Zhao Jun.
Some people were so angry that they wanted to beat Zhao Jun, saying that he was throwing cold water on him, so Zhao Jun did not dare to say anything.
It was around 9 o'clock in the evening on the 14th day. It was an extremely gloomy night. People gathered in the ancestral hall. Children and old people were in the middle, women were on the inner floor, and then there were some young people outside, and some strong people on the outside.
man.
As long as it passes 12 o'clock, it will be the 15th day. At that time, it will be the time the old village chief announced! People have begun to prepare for it, and there are still less than 3 hours until now.
Zhao Jun was among them, but at this moment, he suddenly said: "My stomach hurts so much. There is no toilet in this ancestral hall. I have to go there for a while."
Zhao Jun decided to take a gamble!
Of course he left the ancestral hall smoothly, and he actually went to pee. Because he was nervous, he really needed to pee. He held the knife tightly, looked at the ancestral hall, hesitated for a minute, then gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away.
I have to say that Zhao Jun is a very courageous man. Even though he knew that there was a monster hiding in this village, he still chose to take the risk and escape alone! He had no choice but to feel pain in his heart!
He has a family, a mother, and a sister. If he can't convince them, what can he do? He has to live to leave some blood for the Zhao family.
Of course, his mother and sister knew about his plan. They both said, "You run away, and we will be with everyone." My mother even said, "If everyone doesn't believe you, there is nothing we can do. Our family will not put all our eggs in one basket."
inside,
Zhao Jun avoided the main road leading to the ancestral hall and took a small path to run up the mountain leading to the outer village. He was crying while running. In fact, he couldn't tell whether it was because he really didn't accept the persuasion or because he didn't want to leave this area.
village, leaving fellow villagers
There was no light at night, not even the moon. What kind of darkness was it? Fortunately, Zhao Jun was familiar with the road. He stumbled up the mountain surprisingly smoothly!
The mountains were full of insects, but there was no annoying fog. Zhao Jun gritted his teeth and had only one thought: he must run out.
He buried his head and walked, walked, walked halfway up the mountain, and actually reached the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain! Only then did Zhao Jun realize that he was covered in cold sweat. He knew that the villagers wanted to go out, even halfway up the mountain.
If you can't cross it, let alone get to the top of this mountain?
What does this mean? It means I escaped!
