Just as the man was hurriedly drinking water, a weak shout came from afar.
Cheng Chi and Nangong Feizhu hurriedly followed the sound and saw an old man in ragged clothes lying on the ground, shouting at the middle-aged man who was drinking water.
His eyes were so anxious that he didn't even care about Cheng Chi and the other two.
Cheng Chi and Nangong Feizhu felt strange in their hearts. Just as they were about to walk over and ask about the reason, they heard a scream coming from beside them. They were so frightened that they hurriedly took a step back.
The middle-aged man who had finished drinking the water suddenly convulsed. Cheng Chi hurriedly leaned over to check. Before he could get close to him, he heard the frail old man not far away say: "Get away from him quickly! It's dangerous!"
After hearing his words, Cheng Chi hesitated slightly, but still pulled Nangong Feizhu and quickly took a few steps back.
Just when they were about to ask the old man why this was happening, the convulsing man suddenly emitted a strong odor, and the skin all over his body began to become uneven, and he was still squirming violently.
The middle-aged man roared heartbreakingly, and blood spurted out from his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, and he died soon after.
But this was not over yet. The dead middle-aged man stopped struggling, but his body was still squirming violently, as if there was something inside him.
"What a sin! What a sin!"
The old man not far away stood up staggeringly and walked slowly to Cheng Chi and the other two. His eyes were full of sadness. He glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "You two officials, please leave here quickly!
Otherwise it will only increase casualties!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's body suddenly stood up, and with a "bang" sound, his head shot into the sky, bringing with it a column of blood.
Cheng Chi and Nangong Feizhu hurriedly put their weapons in front of themselves, and a horrifying scene had just appeared.
The white bones were peeled off from the headless corpse quickly, as if someone had skillfully dragged them out of the human body.
Soon a complete human skeleton was thrown to the ground, and that person, no, it should be a boneless corpse, slumped on the ground, motionless.
"This...what the hell is this!"
Nangong Feizhu couldn't help shouting, and Cheng Chi also gasped. Looking at the extremely smooth bones on the ground, Cheng Chi suddenly thought of the bones they saw in that alley.
"Could it be...could it be that the bones in that village..."
Cheng Chi looked at the old man in horror, hoping that he could give him a definite answer.
The old man closed his eyes in pain and nodded gently.
When Nangong Feizhu saw this, he pulled Cheng Chi back a few steps and looked at the old man warily. The old man didn't care about Nangong Feizhu's sudden move. He just sat on the ground slumped and said quietly: "I am a villager from Linfeng Village.
Commander, the man just now is called Pan Ganzi, and he is my son."
"Chief of Linfeng Village? Then why are you like this? And what's wrong with your son?"
Cheng Chi walked a few steps closer, took out a qi-replenishing pill from his arms, and handed it to the village chief.
The village chief hesitated slightly, not in a hurry to answer Cheng Chi's question.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Chi said softly: "This is a qi-tonifying elixir that can restore your strength. I am a doctor."
After hearing Cheng Chi's words, the village chief's eyes flashed brightly, and he hurriedly grabbed the elixir and stuffed it into his mouth.
After a while, he found that his physical strength had increased significantly. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Cheng Chi.
"Mr. Doctor, please save us! Please, please save the people in our village!"
The village chief kowtowed and cried bitterly. Cheng Chi frowned and exchanged a look with Nangong Feizhu. After all, he was not very familiar with this place. Nangong Feizhu walked up to the old man and asked in a low voice: "Linfeng Village
It’s close to Zhuyang City, and the Shennong Division is in charge, what happened?”
When asked by Nangong Feizhu, the old man immediately stopped crying, raised his head, sighed heavily, and sobbed: "Sir, we in Linfeng Village have offended the Mountain God, and we have suffered such a disaster!"
Cheng Chi and Nangong Feizhu were even more puzzled. Did they offend the mountain god? Where did this start? The old man wiped his tears and then told the whole story.
Because Linfeng Village is close to Zhuyang City and has the Qianghua River, a unique river, the people of Linfeng Village have gradually become wealthy. However, the ancestors of Linfeng Village were all hunters for generations, and they have never forgotten the custom of hunting.
Every winter solstice, young people in Linfeng Village organize a large-scale safari. On the one hand, they can subsidize their family income, and on the other hand, they can exercise their muscles and dominate their peers.
This year's safari is scheduled to be in Canglie Valley, south of Linfeng Village.
The mountains are undulating on both sides, with green peaks emerging from the rocks. The valley is filled with the fragrance of flowers and covered with greenery. Various exotic birds and beasts often walk through the valley to forage and play. Many groups of hunters from Tianguan City come here to hunt for the skins of rare animals.
Support your family.
In the valley, a white elk was lowering its head to sip water. In a pool where the bottom could be clearly seen, several red carp chased each other, sometimes swimming upstream and sometimes diving down, enjoying themselves. They were scattered around it.
The place was full of companions foraging and playing.
"咻", "咻", "咻"......
Suddenly, there was the sound of countless arrows cutting through the airflow from all around. Sharp arrows were shot rapidly at the herd of elk not far away. The arrows were so fast and powerful that they quickly covered every inch of the land around me like rain falling from the sky.
Amidst the screams of "Ao Ao Ao", as the dust of the arrow rain settled, nearly half of the elk herd fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, losing the ability to move, while the rest scattered and fled.
On the way to escape, another burst of arrows flew, blocking the escape of more than a dozen elk.
In the blink of an eye, the originally harmonious natural scenery turned into a bloody massacre.
With a "Puch" sound, a young man stabbed the short knife into the skull of an elk that was still hit by an arrow. He glanced proudly at the middle-aged man behind him and said with a smile: "Uncle Yue, what do you think of my performance?
"
"You kid! Next time I will help you apply to the village chief to become an official hunter."
The middle-aged man laughed, slapped the young man on the back of the head and turned towards the people who were collecting the loot.
"Huzi, Gouzi, Zhou Sheng, you guys go and collect the arrows, and the rest of you will count the number of elk."
Seeing everyone's excitement, the middle-aged man chuckled.
"Okay, Uncle Yue, leave the collection of arrows to the three of us."
A young man as thin as a monkey smiled, waved his hand and led two people to pick up the arrows on the ground.
"It's rare to see such a large herd of elk here in the past. Today the mountain god is really blessing us, hahaha..."
Behind the middle-aged man, an older man wearing gray coarse linen clothes laughed.
