Chapter 231: Strange Snake Slaughters the Village
"Look, the door doesn't seem to be closed."

Everyone looked at the door of Old Man Zhao's house, and it was indeed not closed.

"Let's go in and take a look, just in case something really happened."

"Ah."

"it is good."

After making the decision, everyone pushed open the door of Old Man Zhao's house.

As soon as I entered, I saw the half-open kitchen door. Through the door, I saw a pair of completely blackened calves.

"Look!!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the finger and their eyes widened.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the other half of the door opened completely, and a dark and hideous corpse appeared before them.

"what!!!"

"Corpse, corpse!"

"It's Lao Zhao's body!!"

After everyone saw what was happening, they all rushed outside.

They were just ordinary villagers who had never seen anything big. They had seen ordinary corpses, but they had never seen a corpse with its whole body turned black and died tragically in the kitchen.

For a moment, everyone in the village was shouting and screaming. Soon, the remaining people, those who had not yet gone out to farm, all knew that Old Man Zhao had died tragically in the kitchen.

For a moment, everyone was in a panic and all the villagers sat around the door of the ancestral hall.

Tian Yong, the village chief of Shitou Village, is in charge of the situation at this time.

Tian Yong stood in the ancestral hall, looking at the villagers who were now half gone, and asked, "Why are there so few people? Did they all go out to farm?"

"I don't know. There were fewer people in the village this morning. We think they were afraid to go out to farm after learning that Lao Zhao was bitten by a snake in the field yesterday."

"Even if they don't dare to go farming, this is a matter that concerns the entire village. How can they not come?" Tian Yong said dissatisfiedly, "Go, call everyone else."

Before he could finish his words, a young figure ran into the ancestral hall from outside, his face terrified, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"Village. Village Chief, no no. Something bad has happened."

"What do you look like? You look so irritable." Tian Yong said and handed him a glass of water.

The young man took the water handed to him by Tian Yong, drank it tremblingly, and took a long time to calm down.

However, you can see that his legs are still trembling.

"Village chief, everyone who didn't come to the ancestral hall today died at home!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ancestral hall fell into silence, and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

When Tian Yong heard the news, his already serious expression became even more serious. "This joke is not funny at all."

The young man waved his hands quickly, "I'm not lying."

"I just went to find someone to come to the ancestral hall. I knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. I thought something had happened, so I climbed over the wall to check. I found him dead in the room."

"The death was horrific. The whole body turned green, the eyes and blood vessels bulged, the face was distorted, and it looked extremely painful."

"Then, I went to check on all the families who hadn't gone to the ancestral hall, and found that they were all dead!!!"

When the young man spoke, his voice was trembling, his pupils were dilated, and he kept shaking his head, as if trying to forget everything he had seen.

Tian Yong stared at the young man, trying to find any signs of lying on his face, but found that there were none.

At this point, Tian Yong had no choice but to believe it.

"I'll go check it out first. You guys go down to the ancestral hall and don't go anywhere else."

Without waiting for anyone's response, Tian Yong walked out of the ancestral hall alone.

The young man was left in the ancestral hall. All the villagers looked at him, wanting him to deny what he had said, but unfortunately, this was the fact.

Tian Yong came out of the ancestral hall and quickly arrived at the first house. He climbed over the wall and walked into the bedroom, where he saw a man and a woman with black bodies, bulging eyes, and dead on the bed.

When Tian Yong saw this scene, his stomach churned and he ran directly to the yard and started vomiting.

It took him a long time to recover, and he continued to move on to the next house in disbelief.

result.

All the villagers who did not go to the ancestral hall died tragically at home. Their deaths were miserable and heartbreaking.

When he finished checking the last house, he collapsed on the ground with tears in his eyes.

Tian Yong returned to the ancestral hall in a daze. Looking at the terrified expressions of the villagers, he felt numb all over.

"Village chief, how's it going?"

"Is it true that half the villagers died?"

"Village Chief, this must be a joke!!!"

The villagers didn't believe what had just been said and could only place their hopes on the village chief Tian Yong.

Tian Yong waved his hands and said weakly, "I just checked with the families who didn't come to the ancestral hall, and no one is alive!!"

After Tian Yong finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground. Even after using up all his strength, he still couldn't stand up.

The villagers sitting in the ancestral hall still couldn't believe it when they heard the village chief Tian Yong say it himself.

"Ah! What should I do? This is actually true!!"

"Who on earth could do such a thing? Killing half the people in the village in one night??"

"Could it be the snake that Lao Zhao brought back from the ridge of the field yesterday?"

Speaking of snakes, everyone thought of it at once.

Last night, Old Man Zhao said that he was bitten by a snake on the edge of a field. This incident soon became known to everyone.

And now, half of the village is dead, maybe it was this poisonous snake who did it.

"If it was really a poisonous snake, then what can we do? We in Stone Village have no way to resist poisonous snakes!!"

"Exactly. We're not like the neighboring village of Dahuangbian, where some people grow seven-leaf lilies specifically to protect against poisonous snakes."

"We don't have any. We can go to the village on the edge of the wilderness to ask for it. At worst, we can buy it with money. Life is more important."

"Going to the Great Wilderness Village? It's already noon now. It will take a whole day to go back and forth. By then, everyone in the village will be gone!"

If half the people in a village could die in one night, what about tonight? Maybe everyone would be dead!

By then, even if you bring the herbs back, it will be useless! !

"Village chief, was it really a poisonous snake bite?" someone asked at this time.

After a long pause, Tian Yong finally came to his senses and recalled the appearance of all the corpses he had just seen.

"Everyone I saw had black bodies, with bulging blood vessels and eyeballs. They looked horrible. I don't know if it was a snake, but they were definitely poisoned."

Tian Yong stood up in the center of the ancestral hall, finally regaining some of his dignity as the head of the village.

"How about this? Move a few bodies into the ancestral hall and take a closer look to see if there are any snake bite marks. If there are, it must be a venomous snake, so we can prepare."

"If not, maybe he has eaten something poisonous."

Tian Yong's words immediately gained the support of the remaining people.

After a while, led by the young man who came first, several strong young men moved the body back to the ancestral hall.

The entire ancestral hall, originally smelling of incense, suddenly became filled with a foul odor.

Moreover, the corpse, which had originally just turned black, had begun to fester. Some pustules were even broken during the transportation process, and black pus flowed out of the pustules, making people extremely nauseous.

Some people saw this scene and immediately ran outside to vomit! Tian Yong was one of them!
It took me a while to recover after vomiting.

"Okay, let me do the autopsy!!"

Go ahead, put on your gloves and examine each body carefully.

"There are snake bites."

"There are snake bites."

"There are snake bites."

"There are snake bites."

There were five bodies in a row, all with snake bite marks. The situation was already very obvious, and there was no need to look at the remaining dozens of bodies.

"What should we do, Village Chief?"

The villagers were panicking and asking Tian Yong what to do. Tian Yong took a deep breath and said, "Don't go farming today. Then, tonight, everyone should sleep in the ancestral hall. Arrange someone to keep watch. If you notice anything amiss, call for help immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several women stood up and said, "Village chief, my husband went to farm a long time ago. I don't know what happened in the village. Is he okay?"

"Village chief, my man too!"

"Village Chief, me too!!"

All of a sudden, several women were so anxious that they were about to cry.

If their men were not bitten by poisonous snakes while farming, like Old Man Zhao, even if these women survived, they would have no source of income, and they would have to take their children with them. What's the difference between this and killing them?

Tian Yong's face darkened when he heard this. "Hurry, everyone, go look for them on the ridge of the field now! If you're late, something bad will happen!"

"You know where they farm, lead the way!"

"Okay, Village Chief!!"

All of a sudden, the remaining villagers swarmed towards the ridge of the field, taking two steps at a time, worried that something might happen.

After a while, everyone came to the ridge of the field. Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone closed their eyes.

The women sat on the ground, crying loudly.

Tian Yong looked at the scene on the ridge of the field with a serious expression. He saw several figures emerging on the low seedlings. Each of them was upside down and motionless.

It's obvious that he has been killed.

"Go and fish the body out quickly and see if it's the same body as the one in the ancestral hall!"

A few brave people went to the fields and fished out the body. Without looking closely, they could see that it was completely black, just like the way the villagers died.

"Take them back to the ancestral hall, gather the bodies together and burn them together, otherwise a plague will break out!!"

After saying that, Tian Yong turned around and left. Looking at his back, he looked a little hunched.

Soon, night falls.

According to Tian Yong's instructions, ten young men were left to keep watch. The small ancestral hall was full of people sleeping, which seemed extremely crowded, but there was nothing that could be done.

Outside the ancestral hall, there were torches everywhere, and the ten night watchmen were also holding torches in their hands.

Even at night, they can still see up to ten meters away.

"How is it? Is there anything unusual?" Tian Yong walked out of the ancestral hall and looked at the ten people who were keeping watch.

"Village Chief, there is nothing wrong."

"I didn't see anything unusual."

"Village chief, could it be that our display is too grand, so these venomous snakes are afraid to come and are afraid to come?"

"That's probably the case. We have torches and people. A venomous snake is just a venomous snake after all. It's normal to be afraid."

Ten people were talking to each other, and their tense nerves were relaxed at this moment.

"I hope so." Tian Yong nodded and changed the subject, "But you still need to be on your toes tonight. No more accidents can happen in Stone Village."

Half of the people in the village died overnight. This would be unacceptable to anyone. He has adjusted well to be in his current state.

"Please work hard tonight. I will get someone to help you with your rice seedlings," said Tian Yong.

"Thank you, village chief!"

After saying that, Tian Yong returned to the ancestral hall.

late at night.

Outside the ancestral hall, the sound of frogs croaking incessantly can be heard, but the villagers of Shitou Village have long been accustomed to such sounds.

The ten people who were keeping watch outside were still in high spirits.

suddenly.

The frogs that had been croaking stopped at this moment. The night, which was supposed to be noisy, suddenly became extremely quiet, as if it had fallen into eternal night.

"What's going on? Why aren't the frogs croaking?"

"Could something have happened?"

"Should we call the village chief and the others?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the frog sounds that had disappeared returned to normal.

"Hey! Here we go again."

"It should be fine."

"It's okay. There's no need to call the village chief and the others. Let them have a good rest."

at the same time.

Inside the ancestral hall.

On the beams, ten pairs of eyes emitting a faint green light kept moving. Their gazes were fixed on the sleeping villagers below, as if they had regarded them as prey.

"Sigh~~~"

As the snake in the front made a sound, the remaining nine snakes turned into killing creatures in the dark and kept moving around in the ancestral hall at the fastest speed.

Every time it passes by a person, it leaves a bite mark on them.

These ten snakes, in the dark night, looked like black lightning, unpredictable.

Anyone who was bitten by them would instantly lose all breath, and black would spread over their body. Even at night, the terrifying black color could be seen on their body.

In just a quarter of an hour, all the people sleeping in the ancestral hall were dead.

Seeing this, the ten snakes retreated, and the ten people who were guarding outside the ancestral hall survived that night.

The next day at noon.

The sun is shining high.

The vicious gaze shone on the faces of the ten night watchmen, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

"It's already noon, why is there no one awake in the ancestral hall?" someone asked.

"Maybe I went through too much yesterday and didn't sleep well last night, so I'm catching up on my sleep now."

"But it's impossible that everyone is like this, right?"

"What do you think? Could something have happened?" someone speculated.

"impossible."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately opposed.

"Nothing happened during our night watch last night. Ten of us surrounded the ancestral hall. Nothing happened outside, so how could there be trouble inside?"

"That's right, there is definitely nothing wrong in the ancestral hall, but I can't hold on any longer and I want to sleep." someone said.

"I'm sleepy too."

"In that case, let's tell the village chief. We are all tired." Someone suggested.

"it is good!"

After unanimous agreement, the ten people pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.

In an instant, a foul odor hit me in the face, as if it was the泔水 that had been cleaned up every few months, making me feel nauseous.

Before they could finish their words, they witnessed a scene that they would never forget in their lifetime.

The villagers who were originally sleeping peacefully in the ancestral hall had all turned into black corpses, with black pus oozing from their bodies and emitting a foul stench.

Seeing this scene, everyone collapsed and cried bitterly.

"What happened? Why are all the people dead?"

"Weren't we keeping watch last night? How come everyone is dead?"

"Why is everything fine outside, but something happened inside?"

"When the incident happened, there was no sound from inside?"

"Ahhhhhh~~~~"

All ten of them looked at the scene in disbelief, and kept saying it was impossible.

Everything that happened before their eyes directly crushed their hearts.
