Urban Oddities: Strange Tales of Mountain Villages

Chapter 19Malicious

The moment Lin Yang heard the voice, he almost jumped up.

"Junying?!" Huang Dafa was surprised and delighted, and ran forward to open the door.Lin Yang stopped him and asked outside, "Is it Junying?!"

After a while, the voice outside the door said: "...heh, it's me."

Huang Dafa wanted to look at the window, Lin Yang quickly grabbed him and took several steps back before stopping.At this time, the two of them were about three meters away from the window. From a distance, Lin Yang saw two light spots lit up outside the window.The window glass reflected the light from the fire, and neither Lin Yang nor Huang Dafa could see Pu Junying's appearance clearly, but his voice seemed normal, with only a trace of exhaustion.But... Isn't Park Junying infected?He didn't turn into a monster?

"Are you really Pu Junying?" Lin Yang thought for a while and asked, "You entered the mountain alone? When did you come?"

But Pu Junying said: "Lin Yang...you should have heard about me, right?"

Lin Yang didn't say a word, and Pu Junying continued: "I bit my classmate... cluck... You know, I really wanted to eat meat those few days... I couldn't think about it, my mind was full of meat, and I couldn't sleep at night. No, it's like an addiction, I especially want to eat things with blood... Later, I bit my classmate and tasted the blood. From then on, I knew something bad was going to happen, and I could hardly control myself... I, I ... Hehe, I really have no choice but to eat the little white mice in the laboratory."

There was silence outside the window, and Lin Yang heard the sound of wheezing and wheezing.Huang Dafa leaned forward: "You...you eat rats raw?!"

"Giggle..." Pu Junying seemed to be laughing, and when he listened carefully, it sounded like a frog was screaming, "I knew at that time that I couldn't stay in the city anymore... If it kills someone, it will be troublesome..."

Lin Yang didn't know what Pu Junying looked like, but he heard his words clearly and accurately, he didn't look like a delirious monster.Maybe Pu Junying still has a chance to recover, so Lin Yang persuaded: "You should actively cooperate and go back to receive treatment from Teacher Chen!"

Pu Junying sneered: "Treatment? If they take me back, they will definitely isolate me and study me like a monster... Hehe, I have to go abroad in the second half of the year, and I can't afford to delay... Rather than being treated as a monster, I might as well Find a solution by yourself... Lin Yang, Dafa, can you help me?"

Lin Yang saw Pu Junying put his hand on the window glass, and the two light spots were close to the window.But the fire in the hall was too bright, and Lin Yang still couldn't see Pu Junying clearly.

Park Junying's voice sounded again: "It's raining heavily outside, can I come in and say it?"

Huang Dafa almost agreed, but Lin Yang signaled him not to speak.Lin Yang said: "There is fire in the house, aren't you afraid?"

Pu Junying reached in with two wet fingers and pinched out the candle on the windowsill.The wick went out, and there was a wisp of smoke.Lin Yang and Huang Dafa stared at the finger closely - pale, swollen...it didn't look like a normal hand.

Lin Yang tentatively asked, "Have you found a cure?"

Park Junying said: "It's not treatment, it can only be said to be temporarily suppressed... I'm not afraid of fire like those monsters... As long as the virus is suppressed, I'm not afraid of fire, not at all..."

Puffing and puffing sounded again, Pu Junying seemed to be working hard, he withdrew his hand, and said: "To make a long story short, this disease should be a virus infection, I am looking for a way to kill them, only by killing them can I fully recover normal."

As soon as Huang Dafa heard that the other party was saved, he hurriedly said: "Brother, if you want us to help, just ask, if we can help, I will definitely help!"

Huang Dafa is a man of righteousness, but he lacks a brain, Lin Yang said lightly: "Dafa!"

There was no movement outside the window, only the noise of heavy rain.Lin Yang thought that Pu Junying was gone, but he didn't expect that a palm "slapped" on the window glass, and Pu Junying's panting sounded again. He spoke a few words intermittently, but neither Lin Yang nor Huang Dafa could hear them clearly.Pu Junying seemed unable to hold on, and his palm left the window, and his voice was never heard again.Lin Yang went to the window, it was stormy outside, and Pu Junying had disappeared.

The meditation hall on the third floor——

Luo Yi woke up suddenly. He walked to the window and looked at it. It was still raining heavily outside the window, and the sound of rushing seemed to be pouring water.Luo Yi walked downstairs and glanced at the bedroom as he passed by. The candle on the window sill was still on, Yang Chunhua was asleep, and Wang Jingxiang and Jin Minxian were sleeping on the floor.They kept close to each other, for fear that Yang Chunhua would run back to find her daughter if she didn't pay attention.Yang Chunhua sometimes wakes up and sometimes sleeps, more often she mutters to herself as if in a dream, saying that she will go back and cook for Liu Qi.What happened to Liu Qi hit Yang Chunhua too hard. The proprietress, who was usually rosy, looked sickly now, and almost lost the strength to walk.Luo Yi went down to the first floor. In the hall, Huang Dafa and Lin Yang were sitting on the ground, facing the fire, motionless.Luo Yi went around to the front, startling the two of them.Luo Yi sat down and said, "I thought you were asleep." Huang Dafa and Lin Yang laughed twice and said nothing. Luo Yi felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and looked around: "Has anyone been here?"

Huang Dafa thought he said that someone had entered the house, so he quickly said, "No."

The candle on the window sill was still burning, and the windowpane was wet and looked like a palm print.Luo Yi added some firewood to the fire, watching the flames without speaking.Lin Yang and Huang Dafa had something on their minds, and they also sat blankly.After a while, Lin Yang decided to tell Luo Yi about Pu Junying.Huang Dafa has no opinion, he also wants to hear Luo Yi's analysis.After all, Park Junying is their good buddy, and everyone feels uncomfortable when encountering such a thing.When Lin Yang was speaking, Huang Dafa added, but Luo Yi sighed after listening.Lin Yang suddenly understood: "Don't worry about him?"

Luo Yi nodded: "Since he has the ability to enter the mountain, he must be able to go out. We are almost in danger, so how can we have time to talk to him? Besides, he is also infected. Although it can be temporarily restrained, the restraint is What kind of medicine, how long does it last? Will he attack us if the medicine fails?"

Lin Yang's mind went blank, and the only thing he felt was that his nose was running down again.Luo Yi took off his shirt and threw it to Lin Yang. The shirt was still warm with Luo Yi's body temperature.Lin Yang put on his shirt, re-tied the towel around his waist, and said casually, "I still need a pair of pants."

Luo Yi asked: "Do you want the inside or the outside?"

Lin Yang: "I want it if you give it to me."

Luo Yi: "I'll give it to you if you want it."

Huang Dafa was amused by them: "They are all brothers who wear a pair of trousers, what's the difference between the inside and the outside!"

The three laughed for a while, Luo Yi turned over the fire, and said that he would take Huang Dafa to walk the brick road once in the morning, Lin Yang would also go, and asked Jin Minxian to come down and watch the fire.They have to be optimistic about the route as soon as possible, and strive to leave the village as soon as possible.

In the early morning, the rain stopped, the sun shone a little, and then retreated into the clouds, and the rainstorm was finally coming to an end.When Jin Minxian came down, Lin Yang was holding the lid of the pot behind his back, and Huang Dafa picked up a burning branch as a torch.

"Dafa." Jin Minxian said, "Jingxiang wants me to pass a message, if you don't obey and run around, she will beat you when you come back."

Huang Dafa smiled hippie: "Oh, I'm so scared!"

Jin Minxian didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled.When Huang Dafa looked up and saw Wang Jingxiang on the stairs, he was immediately frightened.

Wang Jingxiang: "You try?"

Huang Dafa: "Don't dare!"

Breakfast was still biscuits, they simply ate a few pieces and set off.Before leaving, Luo Yi told Jin Minxian not to let in whoever knocked on the door, and if he saw something scary, he should immediately hide away from the window and hide in the corner.

Jin Minxian was quite calm at first, but when Luo Yi gave serious instructions, she immediately became nervous and asked Luo Yi if there was something that was not afraid of fire.She got to the point when she asked.Luo Yi said don't be afraid, let her lock the door, and don't open it when anyone comes.

Lin Yang was fine when he was sitting, but now he felt dizzy when he walked around.I haven't eaten well in the past few days, and I've been hungry in the wind and rain, even if my body is hardened, I can't bear it.Lin Yang was already sweating when he walked out of the yard, his body was so weak, he quickly ate a mint candy to cheer himself up.It only takes more than ten minutes from Hexiangu's house to Zhuantou Road, but in order to avoid the villagers, Luo Yi led them around the side. Lin Yang was dizzy, hungry and tired, and every step seemed to be filled with lead.Huang Dafa said let's go directly and don't take a detour. It takes a long detour to take a detour. It takes more than an hour to go around for more than ten minutes, which not only wastes energy, but also wastes time.When they came out of the mountains, they had to carry Yang Chunhua on their backs, so they had to save their energy and try to get out of these mountains in one go.Luo Yi didn't say a word, Huang Dafa indicated that he had a "torch" in his hand, and picked up a bamboo pole half a person's height, saying that it could be used as a weapon, and he would hit every one that came.Lin Yang was exhausted and didn't want to go too far, so he persuaded Luo Yi to try walking around the village.

After entering the village, Lin Yang regretted it. Although the villagers did not dare to approach, they followed from afar, and more and more villagers gathered in all directions.Seeing that something was wrong, Luo Yi immediately led them into a corner, and walked out of the village a few times.Followed by five villagers, three women and two men, followed them to the path of the brick stairs.Luo Yi walked in front, and Huang Dafa walked in the middle with a "torch".Lin Yang walked at the end and looked back. The five villagers seemed to be climbing up too.Huang Dafa asked Lin Yang to hold a bamboo pole for self-defense. At first, Lin Yang looked back warily all the way, but felt dizzy after walking for a while, and the bamboo pole could be used as a crutch.He really didn't have the strength to look back, he was sweating when he moved, his legs were weak, and he fell behind a few steps unconsciously.Huang Dafa turned a corner along the brick steps. Lin Yang watched his figure disappear among the branches and leaves, and heard Huang Dafa say that the torch was about to burn out, and discussed with Luo Yi about lighting candles.The branches and leaves rotated continuously and turned into a touch of green. The green faded and the darkness struck. Lin Yang's feet softened, and he quickly supported his body with a bamboo pole.Huang Dafa found that Lin Yang was missing, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Lin Yang——!!!"

"I'm behind!" Lin Yang gritted his teeth and walked forward, walking into the road covered by branches and leaves. The branches brushed his arms. He supported the bamboo pole and walked up step by step. Godlike.A hand came in from the branches, grabbed Lin Yang and dragged him out. "Are you okay?" Luo Yi supported him.

Huang Dafa raised his hand and threw it, and the "torch" passed Lin Yang and fell backward.Only then did Lin Yang realize that the villagers had already chased after him. If he was a few minutes later, he would become the target of the villagers' attacks. The "torch" fell on the soil, the fire was extinguished, and the villagers gathered around again.Lin Yang was afraid for a while, Huang Dafa held a long candle in his hand and motioned for Lin Yang to go in the middle.Lin Yang supported the bamboo pole with one hand, and was led by Luo Yi with the other hand. After finally reaching the top of the slope, Lin Yang sat on the rock and never wanted to get up again.Huang Dafa handed him the candle and asked him to take a good rest, and he and Luo Yi looked around on the top of the mountain.It didn’t rain today, and the candles were burning brightly. Lin Yang held the candle and listened to them muttering about the route, and there was still the sound of rustling branches and leaves in his ears, which should be blown by the wind. Lin Yang ignored it at the time, after all. He had a candle in his hand, and the villagers dared not approach him.Lin Yang touched his forehead. He had a fever and his nose was blocked.Lin Yang wanted to take two cold medicines, but found that he didn't bring them out after he checked his pocket.Lin Yang sat in a daze, and suddenly sneezed twice, his nose suddenly cleared, and he smelled a strange smell, like the smell of disinfectant that lingered in the hospital, but it was a little different, that The taste is more pungent and smells very unpleasant.Lin Yang sniffed, suddenly his shoulders sank, someone put his hand on his shoulders, Lin Yang turned his head and saw a foamy white face.That person was obviously not a normal person, his white skin was not only blistered, but also festered.Compared with the villagers, the fat man in front of him is more like a "zombie" in the game.Lin Yang was confused by the fever at the time, and the first thing he did was to look at the candles—the candles were still burning, but not extinguished.

"I'm not afraid of fire..." The man giggled, and the breath he exhaled had a pungent smell.Just as Lin Yang stood up, he pushed him back, his chubby hands were like iron tongs, Lin Yang only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

"You..." Lin Yang trembled all over, "You are... Junying?"

Huang Dafa and Luo Yi heard the movement and turned to see the fat white man.Huang Dafa roared angrily, picked up the stone and rushed up.Lin Yang felt a pain in his shoulder and shouted, "Don't! Don't! He's Junying!!!"

With Lin Yang's roar, Huang Dafa and Luo Yi stopped at the same time.Lin Yang felt that the bones in his shoulders were about to be broken, Pu Junying didn't let go, and kept holding Lin Yang, and suddenly gasped for air like a convulsion, and the pungent smell that he exhaled made Lin Yang almost faint.Huang Dafa tremblingly said: "Are you Junying?"

"Hehe... Hehe... Hehe..." Pu Junying's eyes rolled around uncontrollably. Huang Dafa and Luo Yi saw that the situation was wrong, and they were about to rush up to save people. Unexpectedly, Pu Junying stabilized, blinked, and responded, " Dafa, it's me."

"Junying... You, how did you become like this?!" Huang Dafa was about to cry, the once tall and thin Pu Junying, now looks like a blown corpse, pale and pale... His body has become like this , obviously hopeless.

Park Joon Young said, "I have to find a way to kill the virus...can you help me?"

Luo Yi said: "Junying... calm down, let Lin Yang go first, okay?"

Park Joon Young said: "There is no time, if you still treat me as a brother, please do me a favor!"

Lin Yang tried to stand up, but Pu Junying pushed him back as soon as he moved.Lin Yang's face was livid because of his smoke, and he was almost out of breath.

Luo Yi said: "How do you want us to help?"

What Pu Junying asked them to help is hard to say, but easy to say but not easy.He said that a person needs to be caught for an experiment to study how to kill the virus.He took a fancy to the obedient and obedient Liu Qi, and planned to take her back.And what they want to help is very simple, that is, to lure Liu Qi to the kitchen and trap her with fire.After listening, Luo Yi asked a question: "Since you are not afraid of fire, why don't you go by yourself?"

Pu Junying smiled wryly: "Don't look at me like this... After the virus is suppressed, I am an ordinary person... I have been to a farmhouse, but I couldn't catch it at all, and I was bitten by her."

Only then did Lin Yang understand, no wonder Pu Junying found He Xiangu's house, it turned out that he found the writing on the door!

Luo Yi said: "Okay, let go of Lin Yang first."

Pu Junying was not that stupid, pinching Lin Yang's shoulder to make him stand up.Although Pu Junying said that he is an ordinary person, in fact, his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people.Lin Yang was in pain from being pinched by him, and he heard Pu Junying say in his ear: "Brother... let's go together!"
