"This whole bunch of madmen." Fatty held the door back while gasping for breath.
"It's definitely not as simple as a madman! If they were crazy, they would have ignored us all the time, or attacked us all the time. "I guess it was someone 'ordered' the villagers to attack us when we were digging."
Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine. Could it be that there was a mastermind hiding behind the scenes in this village?
"Chen, hurry up and tell us more. What is the background of this ghost village?"
Fatty pulled Chen Tuozi, what happened today was really incomprehensible.
"Originally, this matter was very strange, I don't want to tell you guys that Fatty, the reason you don't know about Shaozi Village is actually because there's a reason. "When I came here, I had something that I didn't reveal to you guys. Firstly, I didn't think it was important, and secondly, I didn't know what to do …"
Chen Tuozi said slowly.
"Got it, pick the point." Fatty interrupted him snappily.
"That's the main point!"
Chen Tuozi was annoyed that his words were interrupted.
"The Shaozi Village was sealed only in the seventies, when my father was one of the first people to enter the Shaozi Village. They originally wanted to find out what kind of illness the villagers had, but after staying in the village for nearly a year, they still couldn't find the root of their illness."
Chen Tuozi frowned for a moment and then continued, "Everything will be fine after we go back, but a problem will happen in half a year! "When my mother was sleeping, her bed was suddenly chopped off by my father's axe. When I went to visit her the next day, I saw my father chopping her body into pieces. He was so mangled that I could barely see a head …"
I took in a breath of cold air, as I found it hard to believe. What kind of secret was hidden in the Shaozi Village?
When I was young, I was completely ignorant. When I was a little bit older, I went to see my father at the mental hospital, he said that there was a person living inside his head, and he would talk to me endlessly every night.
After saying that, Chen Tuozi smiled bitterly: "Maybe some of these words are just my old man's bullshit. After all, he was already seriously crazy by that time." But let me remind you, everything here is probably more terrible than we thought! Why did such a valiant village disappear so quickly? Why would Reese's tomb be buried here? And the most important thing is why my dad became like that. "
"The origin of all this lies in the Shaozi Village. Let's not think of anything else right now, and just scram to the side if it is a priceless Azure Goat Tallow. "Now we just have to figure out how to get a better understanding of this place. Otherwise, even if we go back, the only outcome will be death!" Chen Tuozi said.
I'm having more and more headaches now.
Was the reason the Shaozi Village had become like this, because Grandfather had opened Reese's grave all those years ago, or was this place a cursed place in the first place?
Other people were also silent after Chen Tuozi's words. They originally thought it was just a battle of attrition, but now it seemed like everyone was involved.
"Have you ever heard of a village suffering a disaster like this?" I broke the silence and asked Chen Tuozi.
After all, he is an old man, and he definitely knows more about this than we do.
"In '95, it was said that there were zombies in Chengdu. It was said that the Chengdu archaeological team dug up two mummies in one of the tombs. They didn't think too much about it at the time and just drove them back to the museum to study. I've heard that those who come into contact with it become deranged and bite at everything they see as if it were rabies. Hearing Dingdang's words, I suddenly remember that there seems to be something similar between the two. " Chen Tuozi said.
"Are you f * cking saying that there are zombies under Shaozi Village?" Fatty was so scared that he trembled.
Zombies, in the eyes of an earth teacher, were more vicious than dumplings.
No matter how strong the dumpling was, it was just biting people to capture them. As long as the black donkey's hooves were stuffed into its mouth, it would be done for. Even three to five strong men like it could be tied up with hemp rope. However, zombies were poisonous and invulnerable. Often, when zombies came out of tombs, even teachers who carried machetes and hunting rifles would be killed. Furthermore, if they were bitten or grabbed by zombies, they would also become zombies.
If my grandfather really dug out a zombie, then it would be the same as Chengdu, turning all of the villagers of Shaozi Village into a ghost, which made sense.
"We weren't fooled by Fourth Girl were we? Logically speaking, he is Cao Sizhi's son, so he should be more familiar with this tomb than we are. But just now, he told us to dig the soil and attracted the villagers to surround us, he's obviously trying to kill us! "
Fatty suddenly said.
I frowned but didn't say anything. I had never seen Fourth Girl before, so naturally, we weren't friends. But one thing is certain, we listened to him and dug, and were attacked by the people from Shaozi Village.
"I can't do anything about it, Fourth Girl is the only one who knows about Shaozi Village." Chen Tuozi sighed.
"Have you noticed that the duration of our illness is getting shorter and shorter!"
Wang Yuanchao, who was on the side, suddenly said.
I nodded. At first it seemed like an hour, but only a day later did I have to gulp down water every half hour to relieve the heat.
"Dammit, in a few more days, won't we have to lie down by the ditch and drink water at any time?" Fatty said with his hair standing on end.
"Not only that, Fatty, do you remember how you felt before you drank water?" I was very pale, because I thought of something bad in my speculations.
"Yep, it's like there's something I want to drill into my body. It hurts so much." Fatty said with fear still lingering in his heart.
"Yes, just like that! As time goes on, the thirst becomes shorter and shorter. If we don't fill the water in time once, those things will drill into our brains and become like the villagers here. "
In this village, regardless of gender or age, there seemed to be some problems with their mental state. It was very possible that the problem originated from here.
Fatty was shocked by what I said and said, "Lee Dingdang, don't be such a scaredy cat. Do you have a way to solve this?"
I pondered for a long time before suddenly clenching my teeth and saying, "We still have the initiative right now. With the map in my hands, if we want to solve our problems, we must first find the items that my grandfather and the others dug out! Don't worry about strange zombies or diseases, dig it out first, if there's a problem, we can talk about it later. "
"Do you mean that we should go to the cave to look for Reese's grave?" Chen Tuozi stood up immediately.
"Yes!" Rather than getting completely exposed like this, it would be better to investigate what my grandfather and the others have dug out! I have a feeling that the reason this village has become like this, is definitely related to the thing that my grandfather dug out back then, and it might even be that Azure Goat Tallow. " "No," I said.
"Child, you don't understand how powerful they are. If we act rashly like this, it is very likely that everyone will be involved. Let's just wait for Fourth Girl!" Chen Tuozi shook his head.
"I agree with Lee Dingdang." Wang Yuanchao said with a deep voice.
"I agree too! "Old Man Chen, if you have so much confidence in Fourth Girl, then stay here by yourself and see if he will come to save you." Fatty scoffed.
"Alright, we'll act on time tonight when Old Village Head returns. Shaozi Village people normally look like zombies, as if we touched some kind of taboo before going crazy. We will bring enough water, water bottles, water bags and so on, and wait for the whole village to go to sleep before setting off! "
I took out the map and drew a circle on the huge red cross that my grandfather had marked. This should be near the yard of the woman who had sharpened the knife that morning, not far from where we had dug.
Looking at the huge red cross, I felt a little scared.
Any place marked in red ink on a map usually represented danger.
But from the moment we stepped into the Shaozi Village, there had been no way to retreat!
