Chapter 76 Destruction [2 in 1]
Lin Jin and the others were physically and mentally exhausted from running around all night, and the next day they slept until the sun was up.
When Lin Jin woke up, she was not fully awake, and she was a little dazed, until she saw Xiao Qiu who was squatting on the bedside and staring at her and Hongxie, and then woke up.
The movement of Lin Jin getting up was too loud, and she accidentally startled Hongxie. As soon as Hongxie opened her eyes, she saw Xiaoqiu looking at them with some timidity. This timid look couldn't be connected with the monster last night at all. Hongxie couldn't help but Sighed.
She went over to hold Xiao Qiu into her arms, but Xiao Qiu didn't struggle. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew that he had done something wrong, so he didn't dare to speak.
Lin Jin changed her clothes and walked over to open the door. The air in the morning is always much cleaner, washing away the boredom in people's hearts.
The number of people in the yard is decreasing day by day, and the few remaining are sick and precarious. If they want to leave, they may leave at any time, but they need to prepare in advance.
Sitting on the stone steps in front of the house, Lin Jin was secretly speculating, and suddenly felt something at her feet nudged her, and it was still warm.Lin Jin kicked his legs reflexively, kicking something down, and then heard a "meow", so small that it was almost inaudible.
Lin Jin looked down and saw that the milky white kitten was nestling on the steps, its little paws were pawing at her trouser legs, and its bright yellow eyes were as bright as glass in the thin sunlight.As soon as Lin Jin stretched out his hand, he picked up the kitten into his arms, not knowing where this little guy came from.Although there are cats in the village, most of them are not so delicate and beautiful.
After hugging the cat for a while, Hongxie also came out, holding Xiaoqiu's hand, still feeling a little unreal.
Hong Mei was a little surprised to see the kitten in Lin Jin's arms, touched the kitten's head, and asked Lin Jin, "Where did this come from?"
Lin Jin said: "I don't know, it must have been lost by someone else, it looks like a domesticated one."
Hongxie was surprised and said: "At this time, even people can't be happy. Who else has such leisure to raise cats?"
Lin Jin was also a little puzzled, but the kitten was indeed so cute that one couldn't help but want to hug it.Lin Jin picked up the kitten, and the kitten stuck out its tongue and licked her nose. Lin Jin kept staring at it, as if trying to see something from the fluffy cat's face, until the kitten looked at her uneasily. Lin Jin twisted his palm before putting it on the ground.
Logically speaking, Xiao Qiu's age should be the age when he likes such small animals, but he didn't expect that as soon as the kitten came to Xiao Qiu's feet, Xiao Qiu immediately started screaming, which made Lin Jin shiver in shock.Hongxie hurriedly grabbed Xiaoqiu to cover her mouth. They had to keep a low profile as much as possible recently, and not let any irrelevant people notice them, otherwise there might be a lot of resistance invisibly when they escaped.
Fortunately, there was almost no one in the backyard at this time, so no one heard Xiao Qiu's voice. Lin Jin didn't dare to let the kitten get close to Xiao Qiu, so he quickly picked it up and put it aside.
Hongmei took Xiaoqiu to the kitchen to look for food, Lin Jin took the washing things and planned to visit Mengshi, she and Hongmei had been taking care of Mengshi these days, it seemed that Mengshi suddenly died when she was about to die. I began to be greedy for the bond of blood and family, always wanting to keep her by my side, and entrusting her with many important things.
Lin Jin went to Mrs. Meng's room, and found Mrs. Meng lying on the bed angrily, with no one around to take care of her. Lin Jin felt a little pity for this woman, but that was all.
Meng Shi reluctantly opened her eyelids to look at Lin Jin, and then closed them again. She stretched out her hand and motioned Lin Jin to wipe her hands.Lin Jin put the cloth in the palm of Meng's hand, but didn't make any further moves.
Meng herself wiped her hands on the hot and humid cloth casually, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, anyone who is treated like before will not be without a grudge, and Lin Jin is no exception, who can not take advantage of others to harm her It's already pretty good.
Lin Jin stood quietly by the side, planning to go out after a while, but Mrs. Meng never said a word. If it wasn't for her previous actions, Lin Jin would almost have thought she was dead.
Suddenly, Lin Jin thought of something. She went to the bedside and poked Meng's forehead through the towel. Sure enough, Meng started to have a fever, which was a sign of the outbreak of the plague.
Lin Jin didn't dare to stay in the house any longer, she quickly ran to the front yard to find Hong Mei.
Hongmei was standing in the middle of the yard, holding Xiaoqiu's hand tightly. When she saw Lin Jin approaching, she said in panic, "The others are also sick."
With a heavy heart, Lin Jin said, "That woman has also started to have a fever."
Without further ado, this place can't stay for long, Lin Jin and Hongmei don't care about anything else, they hurried back to the house and started to pack their things, now no one has time to care where they go, the best way is to escape as soon as the sun is still bright choose.
Lin Jin brought a few changes of clothes, some dry food that Hongmei found in the kitchen, and those bamboo slips that were taken away by Zhang Xi but returned to her in the end.Even with these packages, she still looks very flimsy. She doesn't have much to think about here, and she doesn't have much to take away.
Hong Mei was similar to her, the two of them carried very few things with them, so it would be easier to escape.
They ran all the way to the entrance of the village, basically seeing no one, and occasionally a few people who shuffled past like wandering ghosts had no strength to look at them.
Lin Jin and Hong Mei ran forward recklessly, Xiao Qiu followed in a daze, not knowing what happened.
But soon they realized that something was wrong. They were obviously exhausted from running, but they hadn't reached the entrance of the village. Lin Jin was quite experienced in this kind of situation. Suddenly, there was a meowing sound at his feet.Lin Jin looked down, and it turned out that it was the kitten who followed from nowhere.
Lin Jin's face turned pale all of a sudden, she took a closer look, they didn't even get out of the Meng residence, their backs were soaked with sweat, but they were still standing by the stone steps in front of the house.
Hong Mei's face was also ugly. She and Lin Jin exchanged glances, and the two went out again, but this time they didn't run like last time. They walked out slowly, observing the people and the room next to them, but finally Before I knew it, I returned to the original place.
Lin Jin sat on the ground in frustration, the kitten jumped onto her lap, stuck out its tongue and licked her face, and brushed Lin Jin's hand with its big fluffy tail, Lin Jin felt a little better in his heart.
Hongxie said: "Probably someone is stopping us, not letting us leave now."
Lin Jin also knew that something was wrong, but the reason was still unclear.It was getting dark, and they couldn't leave anyway today.
What Lin Jin was most worried about was not whether they could leave now, but whether they would accidentally get into the plague if they stayed here. Although the plague was actually caused by that curse, there was no guarantee that they would not be implicated.
Hongxie told her to be calm and calm, saying that she would go to the village after dark to see the situation.
Lin Jin nodded, and stayed in the room with Xiao Qiu.
Because Lin Jin was holding the kitten in his arms, Xiao Qiu didn't dare to get close to her. He just sat on the edge of the bed, with half of his buttocks on the bed and half in the air.The kitten wagged its big tail and rubbed against Lin Jin's face, purring. Lin Jin smoothed its fur with one hand, and held the bamboo slips in the other.
The kitten poked its head out for a few glances, and then stretched out its paw to reach it. Lin Jin pressed down its paw and held it in his hand, and it became more honest.
He had been on the road all day and didn't eat anything, so Lin Jin took out a few pancakes from the package they packed and stuffed them into Xiaoqiu's hands, leaving only one for himself.Originally, Lin Jin wanted to go to the kitchen to cook some porridge, but when Xiao Qiu saw that she was about to leave, he went over and pulled her clothes, and the kitten was also biting her trousers there, so Lin Jin gave up and burned some hot water. drink.
Hong Mei came back in the middle of the night, but did not bring any good news. The village seemed to have turned into a circular labyrinth. No matter how you walked, you would always return to the original place. What's worse, the people who got the plague became more seriously ill. Yes, some of them have already begun to rot, and the stench can be smelled from far away.
They were trapped in the village for months without finding a way out.There are only a dozen or so dying people left here and there in the village. It is already summer, and the bodies of those who have not had time to be buried are still in their respective homes, and wherever they go, there is a strong stench of corpses.
Xiao Qiu's temper became more and more irritable, she always tried every means to run out, even once Lin Jin failed to keep an eye on her, she ran to the front yard and dug up the corpses of several servants who were buried deep under the tree.Bloodthirsty by nature, she can't restrain herself, Lin Jin is sometimes really thankful that even if she drinks blood, she only kills the dead, otherwise she and Hongxie might have died.
Lin Jin would still go to deliver some to Mrs. Meng every day after cooking, but because he was afraid of getting sick, he never stayed for a long time and left after putting down his things.The weather was a bit cloudy that day, with a little rain. When Lin Jin pushed open the door of Mrs. Meng's room, she could vaguely smell something uncomfortable.
She was a little nervous, and the plate in her hand trembled a few times. At that moment, she didn't dare to open the curtain inside.In this life, she didn't have any feelings for Meng Shi, but in her previous life she really regarded Meng Shi as a relative. Even though Meng Shi treated her like that later, Lin Jin never hated her.If it wasn't for Meng Shi, maybe her fate would be even worse than later, and it is not known whether she will survive, so now seeing Meng Shi's death with her own eyes again, she feels a little aggrieved, not really sad, But not very comfortable.
The kitten ran over at some point, and kept hitting her calf with its head at her feet.
Lin Jin pulled it aside with his toes, and said, "Xiaobai, go and stay aside." Lin Jin didn't name it, because it has snow-white fur, so he called it Xiaobai directly, which is simple and easy to remember.
The little white cat didn't listen to her, and stayed close to her feet. Lin Jin was always worried that he would accidentally step on it.
Lin Jin opened the curtain and walked in. She saw Meng Shi lying on her back with one arm hanging by the side of the bed. Her face was a little gray, there was a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and the porcelain cup was broken into several pieces on the ground. There was also blood on the edges.
She committed suicide.
Lin Jin suddenly felt a little unacceptable.
She tied a silk scarf behind her head to cover her mouth and nose, then put on gloves to straighten Meng's body.There were broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Lin Jin shut the kitten out, cleaned the house by himself, then went out and locked the door.
When she returned to the woodshed, Hongmei was sitting in the corner of the yard wiping tears.Lin Jin walked over to her and asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"
Hong Mei spread out her palm to show Lin Jin the key in her hand.
"I really have no choice but to lock her up."
Lin Jin sighed, and sat next to Hongxie. The two of them waited until the evening sun turned the sky red, and then they helped each other rub their legs that were a little sore and numb after sitting for too long, and went back to the room.
Xiao Qiu was chained to a pillar in the house, looking at them in a daze.Lin Jin was afraid to look directly into her eyes. Every time he saw her looking at him with such innocent eyes, he felt as if he had committed some crime.
Lin Jin and Hongmei sat on the bed together and looked at a map of Xi Village that Hongmei had drawn before. The little white cat was sandwiched between them, rubbing against Lin Jin's leg endlessly until Lin Jin's calf and Hongmei touched each other. The places that were together were separated, and it nestled on Lin Jin's feet Shi Shiran.
Lin Jin felt a little strange, so he stretched out his hand to poke the kitten's butt, and the kitten jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on. Lin Jin couldn't help laughing, and finally showed a smiling face after so many days.
Hongxie's plan is that they go out from the back mountain. There is another village on the opposite side of the mountain. Once they get there, they will basically leave Xicun. And so far, they have tried all the ways they can go, and only the back mountain is left. Did not go.On the one hand, that experience was too terrifying, and it would be dangerous to go there rashly if they encounter something again, and on the other hand, because the back mountain is very big, if they walk from the back mountain, they must be prepared to spend the night on the mountain.
Lin Jin frowned as he looked at the road map drawn by Hongmei, but he didn't notice that the kitten at his feet was a little restless.
When Hongmei looks at the kitten, she always has an indescribable feeling. It is a little guy the size of two palms, which inexplicably makes her feel chills on her back, especially when those eyes are staring at her. The feeling is even more obvious.She wanted to find an opportunity to tell Lin Jin about the kitten several times, worrying that if there was any problem, but every time she wanted to speak, she would be interrupted by various things, which made her feel more and more nervous. worried.
There were too many dead people in the village, so every night it would be a little gloomy. After Hongxie settled Xiaoqiu to sleep, she quickly went back to bed and lay down. Lin Jin over here was already asleep.
Lin Jin slept deeply, but she was still a little vigilant because she was worried all the time. She felt it when Hong Mei went to bed, but she didn't care, turned over and went back to sleep.
After a while, she suddenly felt a bit wet on one cheek, as if she had been licked by something. She tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't. After a while, her lips suddenly stuck to something. The thing was very familiar to the touch, and Lin Jin's heart was in a mess in an instant.
She tried her best to calm her heartbeat, trying to pretend that she was in a deep sleep, but her nerves became more and more excited, and the blood all over her body was boiling, which was hard to restrain.
In the past few years, she often regretted that if she didn't let her go when she saw Zhang Xi that time, or simply relied on her for nothing, maybe she wouldn't have to separate later. Sometimes she would think, either go out and find Zhang Xi, let's go to the place where they met later in the previous life, but she was worried that Zhang Xi would come back suddenly as soon as she left. If she didn't see herself when she came back, would she be very disappointed...
Lin Jin was thinking wildly, but the warm touch on his lips suddenly disappeared. Lin Jin suddenly reached out and hugged the body covering him. The body was stiff for a moment, and then Lin Jin's hands were empty, as if just now Hugged into a mass of air.
Lin Jin hurriedly got up and lit the lamp, only to find that beside her bed there was only a kitten who was woken up and looked at her with wide eyes, and there was nothing else.
Lin Jin couldn't help but say that he was not disappointed. Zhang Xi came, but for some reason he didn't want to see her, and he couldn't even let her take a look.
Lin Jin nestled under the quilt depressedly, and stroked the cat casually.
Hong Mei was woken up by the light, and asked her: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
Lin Jin shook his head, went to blow out the lamp, and said, "It's nothing, I just woke up suddenly."
I slept soundly that night, and no one expected to see such a nightmare when I woke up the next day.If possible, Lin Jin really wanted to just fall asleep like this, and don't look at that scene again.
After waking up, Hongmei went to see Xiaoqiu who was locked up at first sight. When she found that the chain that locked Xiaoqiu had been opened and Xiaoqiu had gone somewhere, she was terrified.
Lin Jin didn't know what happened when she was shaken vigorously by Hongxie. When she saw that Xiaoqiu was gone, she panicked. The younger sister Hongxie managed to find hadn't been able to reunite for a year or so. Lin Jin disappeared just like that, and Lin Jin was extremely anxious.
They casually put on some clothes and ran out, and then found that the air outside the house was filled with diluted scarlet, and a thin layer of blood mist covered their eyes, full of pungent smell.
The kitten ran out and bit Lin Jin's trousers hard to prevent her from leaving. Lin Jin didn't expect it to be so strong that it could actually grab her, but now she had to go out with Hongmei to find Xiaoqiu, so she bent over He lowered his waist and held the kitten in his arms, then ran out with Hong Mei.
This time they were not stopped by the door of Meng's house and ran out all the way.
The whole village was shrouded in blood mist, and there seemed to be a few vague figures in the alley. The two walked back to back. When passing by those people, Lin Jin raised his head and glanced at their faces, almost sharpened. call out.
The flesh on the faces of these people has completely festered, like corpses that have been placed for a long time, and the bones are faintly visible. Their necks are clearly segmented, like bamboo, and they are still constantly elongating.
Lin Jin and the others stumbled and ran out, paying attention to Xiaoqiu along the way, but they never saw it. Only the old man sitting on the rattan chair by the roadside, enjoying the shade as usual, raised his hideous face and stretched out his hand to want to Grabbing them, Lin Jin's sleeves were caught several times. It was the kitten in his arms that stretched out its paws and slapped the old and withered hands away, and Lin Jin was able to escape.
The more they ran forward, the more people were wandering on the road like ghosts. The blood-colored thick fog almost blocked their breathing, so they had to slow down their pace to avoid dizziness.
There are dead people everywhere on the streets, most of them are in strange shapes, and some of them make people feel very uncomfortable.Lin Jin looked at those old people who were still holding soil in their hands and trying to stuff it into their mouths, their stomachs were distended, and the skinny and gray-faced children who were nestling in their mother's arms, felt a little sore in their eye sockets.
Hongxie called Xiaoqiu's name one after another, but no one answered. Hongxie's voice became hoarse and her voice became smaller and smaller, until finally she was using her breath.
Lin Jin supported her and told her to sit down and rest for a while. Hongmei couldn't hold on any longer and almost sat down on a stone by the road. She stretched out her hand to support the stone and felt that something was sticking to her hand , She raised her hand and saw that it was covered with black and red blood, Hongxie immediately lay beside her and vomited.
Lin Jin couldn't stand this kind of nausea either. She waited for Hongxie to slow down a little and then helped her continue to walk out. The little white cat jumped from her embrace to the ground, barking loudly, looking extremely anxious. Lin Jin pointed at its paws. It was the way out of the village. Lin Jin was actually a little moved at that moment. She was just an ordinary person, and she couldn't be so selfless and sacrifice herself for others. If she continued to accompany Hong Maybe no one will be able to get out in the end, and they will all be buried here, but her conscience does not allow her to leave like this, and she has no way of convincing herself to leave Hongmei here alone and search for it hopelessly.
Lin Jin asked Hongmei to wait there for a while, then she picked up the kitten and ran quickly to the road closest to the entrance of the village, then put the kitten down and said, "I don't care where you come from or why you approach me, but you don't have to worry about it." My business, this is my own choice, you don't have to accompany me to die, hurry up, run now, don't follow me!"
After Lin Jin finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. Halfway through the run, she looked back and found that there was no kitten following behind her. She was relieved, but for some reason she felt a little disappointed.
Lin Jin pulls on Hongxie and continues to walk into the mountains. Hongxie says she thinks Xiaoqiu should be in the mountains.
The fog got thicker as he went in, and the strong smell of blood almost made people faint. Lin Jin felt that his eyes were starting to swell and weep, and his vision was a little blurred.
She was very scared in her heart, worried that she would become blind again, and didn't know where Zhang Xi was now. Lin Jin hoped that Zhang Xi could come to save her when she was in danger, but she was also afraid of her coming, and she didn't want Zhang Xi to come because of her. into danger again.
Hongmei was supported by Lin Jin to walk, and when she reached a corner of a mountain road, Hongmei stopped suddenly, pointed to a forest diagonally ahead, and said, "Xiaoqiu is over there!"
Without saying a word, Lin Jin led her to walk there, and when she got closer, she found a figure in the forest.
They pushed aside the branches and walked over. Xiao Qiu was still holding a few hearts that had just been pulled out from the chests of people lying on the ground. As soon as she saw Lin Jin and the others, they threw away the things in their hands and quickly walked Get out of the bushes on the other side.
Hong Mei shook off Lin Jin's hand and chased after him, followed closely by Lin Jin.
But they still failed to catch up with Xiaoqiu, and watched her run away again.
After Hongxie was born, half of her spiritual knowledge and spells were given to Xiao Qiu. If Xiao Qiu deliberately didn't want her to find it, she had nothing to do.
Just now, the two of them were only focused on chasing people, but they didn't realize that they had walked on a road they had never walked before.
It seems to be very close to the top of the mountain, there are cliffs everywhere, the sky is a dull red, and it is spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Jin felt the mountain wall and walked back and forth slowly. The mountain was also full of dead bodies, newly buried and old, all over the whole mountain.
When they came to a main road, they thought they had finally found their way, and hurried towards the road, but after running past without thinking, they saw the mass grave that they saw that night suddenly appeared in front of them, and the hairs all over their bodies stood up. The two held hands tightly, but couldn't get a trace of warmth from each other.
There were hundreds of corpses in front of them. They stood up unsteadily in a strange posture, and Xiao Qiu stood among them.
She has lost her sanity and doesn't recognize the two older sisters in front of her. She just keeps licking her bloody hands.The corpses continued to gather towards her until they submerged her, Hong Mei couldn't stop it, she could only break down and cry loudly.
Lin Jin's eyes became extremely dry. She kept looking forward for an unknown amount of time, until she felt as if her legs had been nailed to the ground and could not move, the blood mist in the air began to slowly dissipate. The corpses fell down one by one.
When the sky returned to normal clearness, the mass graves were completely silent, and what happened just now seemed to be an illusion, only the agate-like translucent and ruddy bamboo standing gracefully in the breeze in front of me showed that The reality of all that has happened.

When Lin Jin woke up, she was not fully awake, and she was a little dazed, until she saw Xiao Qiu who was squatting on the bedside and staring at her and Hongxie, and then woke up.

It is already summer, and the bodies of those who have not had time to be buried are still in their respective homes, and wherever they go, there is a strong stench of corpses.
Xiao Qiu's temper became more and more irritable, she always tried every means to run out, even once Lin Jin failed to keep an eye on her, she ran to the front yard and dug up the corpses of several servants who were buried deep under the tree.Bloodthirsty by nature, she can't restrain herself, Lin Jin is sometimes really thankful that even if she drinks blood, she only kills the dead, otherwise she and Hongxie might have died.
Lin Jin would still go to deliver some to Mrs. Meng every day after cooking, but because he was afraid of getting sick, he never stayed for a long time and left after putting down his things.The weather was a bit cloudy that day, with a little rain. When Lin Jin pushed open the door of Mrs. Meng's room, she could vaguely smell something uncomfortable.
She was a little nervous, and the plate in her hand trembled a few times. At that moment, she didn't dare to open the curtain inside.In this life, she didn't have any feelings for Meng Shi, but in her previous life she really regarded Meng Shi as a relative. Even though Meng Shi treated her like that later, Lin Jin never hated her.If it wasn't for Meng Shi, maybe her fate would be even worse than later, and it is not known whether she will survive, so now seeing Meng Shi's death with her own eyes again, she feels a little aggrieved, not really sad, But not very comfortable.
The kitten ran over at some point, and kept hitting her calf with its head at her feet.
Lin Jin pulled it aside with his toes, and said, "Xiaobai, go and stay aside." Lin Jin didn't name it, because it has snow-white fur, so he called it Xiaobai directly, which is simple and easy to remember.
The little white cat didn't listen to her, and stayed close to her feet. Lin Jin was always worried that he would accidentally step on it.
Lin Jin opened the curtain and walked in. She saw Meng Shi lying on her back with one arm hanging by the side of the bed. Her face was a little gray, there was a faint trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and the porcelain cup was broken into several pieces on the ground. There was also blood on the edges.
She committed suicide.
Lin Jin suddenly felt a little unacceptable.
She tied a silk scarf behind her head to cover her mouth and nose, then put on gloves to straighten Meng's body.There were broken porcelain pieces on the ground, Lin Jin shut the kitten out, cleaned the house by himself, then went out and locked the door.
When she returned to the woodshed, Hongmei was sitting in the corner of the yard wiping tears.Lin Jin walked over to her and asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"
Hong Mei spread out her palm to show Lin Jin the key in her hand.
"I really have no choice but to lock her up."
Lin Jin sighed, and sat next to Hongxie. The two of them waited until the evening sun turned the sky red, and then they helped each other rub their legs that were a little sore and numb after sitting for too long, and went back to the room.
Xiao Qiu was chained to a pillar in the house, looking at them in a daze.Lin Jin was afraid to look directly into her eyes. Every time he saw her looking at him with such innocent eyes, he felt as if he had committed some crime.
Lin Jin and Hongmei sat on the bed together and looked at a map of Xi Village that Hongmei had drawn before. The little white cat was sandwiched between them, rubbing against Lin Jin's leg endlessly until Lin Jin's calf and Hongmei touched each other. The places that were together were separated, and it nestled on Lin Jin's feet Shi Shiran.
Lin Jin felt a little strange, so he stretched out his hand to poke the kitten's butt, and the kitten jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on. Lin Jin couldn't help laughing, and finally showed a smiling face after so many days.
Hongxie's plan is that they go out from the back mountain. There is another village on the opposite side of the mountain. Once they get there, they will basically leave Xicun. And so far, they have tried all the ways they can go, and only the back mountain is left. Did not go.On the one hand, that experience was too terrifying, and it would be dangerous to go there rashly if they encounter something again, and on the other hand, because the back mountain is very big, if they walk from the back mountain, they must be prepared to spend the night on the mountain.
Lin Jin frowned as he looked at the road map drawn by Hongmei, but he didn't notice that the kitten at his feet was a little restless.
When Hongmei looks at the kitten, she always has an indescribable feeling. It is a little guy the size of two palms, which inexplicably makes her feel chills on her back, especially when those eyes are staring at her. The feeling is even more obvious.She wanted to find an opportunity to tell Lin Jin about the kitten several times, worrying that if there was any problem, but every time she wanted to speak, she would be interrupted by various things, which made her feel more and more nervous. worried.
There were too many dead people in the village, so every night it would be a little gloomy. After Hongxie settled Xiaoqiu to sleep, she quickly went back to bed and lay down. Lin Jin over here was already asleep.
Lin Jin slept deeply, but she was still a little vigilant because she was worried all the time. She felt it when Hong Mei went to bed, but she didn't care, turned over and went back to sleep.
After a while, she suddenly felt a bit wet on one cheek, as if she had been licked by something. She tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't. After a while, her lips suddenly stuck to something. The thing was very familiar to the touch, and Lin Jin's heart was in a mess in an instant.
She tried her best to calm her heartbeat, trying to pretend that she was in a deep sleep, but her nerves became more and more excited, and the blood all over her body was boiling, which was hard to restrain.
In the past few years, she often regretted that if she didn't let her go when she saw Zhang Xi that time, or simply relied on her for nothing, maybe she wouldn't have to separate later. Sometimes she would think, either go out and find Zhang Xi, let's go to the place where they met later in the previous life, but she was worried that Zhang Xi would come back suddenly as soon as she left. If she didn't see herself when she came back, would she be very disappointed...
Lin Jin was thinking wildly, but the warm touch on his lips suddenly disappeared. Lin Jin suddenly reached out and hugged the body covering him. The body was stiff for a moment, and then Lin Jin's hands were empty, as if just now Hugged into a mass of air.
Lin Jin hurriedly got up and lit the lamp, only to find that beside her bed there was only a kitten who was woken up and looked at her with wide eyes, and there was nothing else.
Lin Jin couldn't help but say that he was not disappointed. Zhang Xi came, but for some reason he didn't want to see her, and he couldn't even let her take a look.
Lin Jin nestled under the quilt depressedly, and stroked the cat casually.
Hong Mei was woken up by the light, and asked her: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
Lin Jin shook his head, went to blow out the lamp, and said, "It's nothing, I just woke up suddenly."
I slept soundly that night, and no one expected to see such a nightmare when I woke up the next day.If possible, Lin Jin really wanted to just fall asleep like this, and don't look at that scene again.
After waking up, Hongmei went to see Xiaoqiu who was locked up at first sight. When she found that the chain that locked Xiaoqiu had been opened and Xiaoqiu had gone somewhere, she was terrified.
Lin Jin didn't know what happened when she was shaken vigorously by Hongxie. When she saw that Xiaoqiu was gone, she panicked. The younger sister Hongxie managed to find hadn't been able to reunite for a year or so. Lin Jin disappeared just like that, and Lin Jin was extremely anxious.
They casually put on some clothes and ran out, and then found that the air outside the house was filled with diluted scarlet, and a thin layer of blood mist covered their eyes, full of pungent smell.
The kitten ran out and bit Lin Jin's trousers hard to prevent her from leaving. Lin Jin didn't expect it to be so strong that it could actually grab her, but now she had to go out with Hongmei to find Xiaoqiu, so she bent over He lowered his waist and held the kitten in his arms, then ran out with Hong Mei.
This time they were not stopped by the door of Meng's house and ran out all the way.
The whole village was shrouded in blood mist, and there seemed to be a few vague figures in the alley. The two walked back to back. When passing by those people, Lin Jin raised his head and glanced at their faces, almost sharpened. call out.
The flesh on the faces of these people has completely festered, like corpses that have been placed for a long time, and the bones are faintly visible. Their necks are clearly segmented, like bamboo, and they are still constantly elongating.
Lin Jin and the others stumbled and ran out, paying attention to Xiaoqiu along the way, but they never saw it. Only the old man sitting on the rattan chair by the roadside, enjoying the shade as usual, raised his hideous face and stretched out his hand to want to Grabbing them, Lin Jin's sleeves were caught several times. It was the kitten in his arms that stretched out its paws and slapped the old and withered hands away, and Lin Jin was able to escape.
The more they ran forward, the more people were wandering on the road like ghosts. The blood-colored thick fog almost blocked their breathing, so they had to slow down their pace to avoid dizziness.
There are dead people everywhere on the streets, most of them are in strange shapes, and some of them make people feel very uncomfortable.Lin Jin looked at those old people who were still holding soil in their hands and trying to stuff it into their mouths, their stomachs were distended, and the skinny and gray-faced children who were nestling in their mother's arms, felt a little sore in their eye sockets.
Hongxie called Xiaoqiu's name one after another, but no one answered. Hongxie's voice became hoarse and her voice became smaller and smaller, until finally she was using her breath.
Lin Jin supported her and told her to sit down and rest for a while. Hongmei couldn't hold on any longer and almost sat down on a stone by the road. She stretched out her hand to support the stone and felt that something was sticking to her hand , She raised her hand and saw that it was covered with black and red blood, Hongxie immediately lay beside her and vomited.
Lin Jin couldn't stand this kind of nausea either. She waited for Hongxie to slow down a little and then helped her continue to walk out. The little white cat jumped from her embrace to the ground, barking loudly, looking extremely anxious. Lin Jin pointed at its paws. It was the way out of the village. Lin Jin was actually a little moved at that moment. She was just an ordinary person, and she couldn't be so selfless and sacrifice herself for others. If she continued to accompany Hong Maybe no one will be able to get out in the end, and they will all be buried here, but her conscience does not allow her to leave like this, and she has no way of convincing herself to leave Hongmei here alone and search for it hopelessly.
Lin Jin asked Hongmei to wait there for a while, then she picked up the kitten and ran quickly to the road closest to the entrance of the village, then put the kitten down and said, "I don't care where you come from or why you approach me, but you don't have to worry about it." My business, this is my own choice, you don't have to accompany me to die, hurry up, run now, don't follow me!"
After Lin Jin finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. Halfway through the run, she looked back and found that there was no kitten following behind her. She was relieved, but for some reason she felt a little disappointed.
Lin Jin pulls on Hongxie and continues to walk into the mountains. Hongxie says she thinks Xiaoqiu should be in the mountains.
The fog got thicker as he went in, and the strong smell of blood almost made people faint. Lin Jin felt that his eyes were starting to swell and weep, and his vision was a little blurred.
She was very scared in her heart, worried that she would become blind again, and didn't know where Zhang Xi was now. Lin Jin hoped that Zhang Xi could come to save her when she was in danger, but she was also afraid of her coming, and she didn't want Zhang Xi to come because of her. into danger again.
Hongmei was supported by Lin Jin to walk, and when she reached a corner of a mountain road, Hongmei stopped suddenly, pointed to a forest diagonally ahead, and said, "Xiaoqiu is over there!"
Without saying a word, Lin Jin led her to walk there, and when she got closer, she found a figure in the forest.
They pushed aside the branches and walked over. Xiao Qiu was still holding a few hearts that had just been pulled out from the chests of people lying on the ground. As soon as she saw Lin Jin and the others, they threw away the things in their hands and quickly walked Get out of the bushes on the other side.
Hong Mei shook off Lin Jin's hand and chased after him, followed closely by Lin Jin.
But they still failed to catch up with Xiaoqiu, and watched her run away again.
After Hongxie was born, half of her spiritual knowledge and spells were given to Xiao Qiu. If Xiao Qiu deliberately didn't want her to find it, she had nothing to do.
Just now, the two of them were only focused on chasing people, but they didn't realize that they had walked on a road they had never walked before.
It seems to be very close to the top of the mountain, there are cliffs everywhere, the sky is a dull red, and it is spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Jin felt the mountain wall and walked back and forth slowly. The mountain was also full of dead bodies, newly buried and old, all over the whole mountain.
When they came to a main road, they thought they had finally found their way, and hurried towards the road, but after running past without thinking, they saw the mass grave that they saw that night suddenly appeared in front of them, and the hairs all over their bodies stood up. The two held hands tightly, but couldn't get a trace of warmth from each other.
There were hundreds of corpses in front of them. They stood up unsteadily in a strange posture, and Xiao Qiu stood among them.
She has lost her sanity and doesn't recognize the two older sisters in front of her. She just keeps licking her bloody hands.The corpses continued to gather towards her until they submerged her, Hong Mei couldn't stop it, she could only break down and cry loudly.
Lin Jin's eyes became extremely dry. She kept looking forward for an unknown amount of time, until she felt as if her legs had been nailed to the ground and could not move, the blood mist in the air began to slowly dissipate. The corpses fell down one by one.
When the sky returned to normal clearness, the mass graves were completely silent, and what happened just now seemed to be an illusion, only the agate-like translucent and ruddy bamboo standing gracefully in the breeze in front of me showed that The reality of all that has happened.
