Chapter 7 New House (please collect, please vote)
"you wanna die!!"
Looking at the head rolling down in the basin, the old master let out a low roar. When he looked up, his face turned stinky and rotten, covered with abscesses and rotten flesh.
But Xu Tong didn't care about this, he just picked up the knife and chopped.
But what he didn't expect was that before he could chop it down, two thick arms behind him hugged him tightly.
Looking back, I saw that it was the bald body whose head had been chopped off. Without the head, it could still move.
Seeing this, the old master grabbed the butcher knife on the table and stabbed Xu Tong.
Fortunately, Xu Tong ducked sideways, raised his leg and kicked the old guy to the ground.
Before the old guy could get up, Li Bo finally realized something belatedly. He rushed over from the side and hit the old man hard with his huge body, sending him flying several meters away.
It was also the old guy's unlucky fate. He bumped directly into the big iron pot on the stove. The pot full of boiling water was splashed on his head with a "crash" sound.
"Hey~~"
It's strange to say that the old man couldn't move when the pot of boiling water was poured on his head. When Li Bo took a closer look, the old man's face actually melted away like a burning candle, and the skin and flesh on his limbs were gone. , replaced by straws tied with twine.
After Xu Tong saw the old man's appearance, he turned back to look at Tiepan's bald head. Their eyes met, and Xu Tong's eyes became playful.
Seeing this, the bald man suddenly felt an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, Xu Tong raised his foot and stepped hard on the edge of the iron basin. The bald man's eyes were suddenly dazzled. Only then did he realize that his head was thrown into the air. In his blurred vision, a black cloth shoe with a white sole kicked him on the bridge of his nose. .
"boom!"
After the round head drew an arc in mid-air, it dropped into another large pot on the stove with an unmistakable "plop" sound.
Unfortunately, this pot was not boiling water, but hot oil, and I only heard a "sizzling..." sound.
Xu Tong only felt a light movement behind him. The headless corpse hugging his body had fallen straight to the ground. Like the old man, it had turned into straw.
"Oh my God!"
Li Bo sat down on the ground. He had just escaped from the mouth of a zombie. How could he be dining with ghosts in the blink of an eye? It was not too exciting for Li Bo.
"Brother Xu, how do you know they are not human??"
Hearing Li Bo's words, Xu Tong did not answer him directly, but asked instead: "Have you seen the barren mountains and wild ridges around that village, not even a single arable land? It's just such a big place with no river in front and no water behind. There is no mountain spring, and there is not even a well in the village. Do you think this place is normal?"
Li Bo scratched his head and thought about it carefully. They walked around the village before entering the village. It was true that they had not seen any cultivated land, no well, and not even livestock.
These details that he had ignored, the more he thought about them, the weirder they became.
After all, this is not a modern world like in reality. There are no wide roads, convenient transportation, nor express delivery and takeaway.
There are neither fields nor water here. How do these villagers survive to this day?
"Then how can you deny that this is not a bandit's den?" Li Bo continued to ask.
But he was not interested in giving Li Bo an answer. He patted the belly of the piglet on the table. The little guy was also cute. At this time, he no longer screamed but kept arching his nose towards him and making a sound in his mouth. A humming nasal sound.
"You're lucky, let's go!"
He casually untied the piglet and prepared to let it go.
"Brother Xu, what should we do next?"
Li Bo was not in the mood to continue eating. After all, this village was too weird. There were bright lights not far from the fence. He didn't need to think about it to know that there was something wrong with these villagers. Maybe they were not human. When he thought that he had entered a ghost As soon as he was in bed, Li Bo felt anxious for a while.
Candles are brightly lit in the distance, and people are singing and laughing.
Underfoot are two ‘corpses’ that have turned into scarecrows.
Such a strange scene made Xu Tong think of another thing: "Who do you think the bride is?"
"ah???"
Li Bo scratched his head, wondering if this was the question he was asking?
"I don't know??" Li Bo really couldn't understand Xu Tong's thoughts, so he could only shake his head with a dull expression.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Xu Tong turned around and looked at himself with a heartbroken expression: "You don't have a soul."
"I??"
Seeing the disappointed look on his face, Li Bo panicked and quickly thought about which step he had made wrong or what he said wrongly.
Seeing Li Bo's confused look, he felt even more disappointed.
In fact, he still liked the Li Bo who was trapped next to the coffin. At that time, Li Bo had eyes that chose others to eat, like a ferocious Tibetan mastiff.
And now Li Bo...is just a Chihuahua at best.
In addition to disappointment, there is also a deep sense of loneliness.
"Get ready, let's set the fire!" He walked to the stove, pulled out two torches from it, and handed one of them to Li Bo.
"set fire??"
Li Bo took the torch but received no explanation from Xu Tong, but when he saw that he had started to light the fire, he could only follow it stupidly.
It was originally a wooden house with a straw roof. When a fire was thrown on it, it quickly ignited.
"on fire!!!"
Someone at the wine table suddenly shouted. Everyone looked up and their faces suddenly became horrified.
The villagers who were singing and laughing just now were crawling around like headless flies, trying to find water to put out the fire.
As a result, even though these villagers searched all over the village, they could not find a water source.
All they could do was watch helplessly as the fire grew bigger and bigger. The villagers began to try their best to extinguish the fire. They smashed the fire with earth and knocked down the houses, causing chaos.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the village, I saw two sneaky figures, one after another, slipping in front of the door of the innermost room in the village from under the eyes of the villagers.
This is the only adobe house in the village. Even the roof is covered with mud tiles. Compared with other wooden thatched houses, it is not much better.
There are two large 囍 characters on the two doors, and two bright red lanterns hang on the door beams.
How festive it looks.
Li Bo reached out and pushed, only to find that the courtyard door was locked.
The two of them looked around and saw that the villagers in front of the door were already busy putting out the fire. When no one was around, they saw Li Bo raising his leg and kicking him.
This fat man had nothing else but a lot of strength. With one kick, there was a "bang!" sound, and the door lock on the courtyard door was broken and flew out.
The yard is not big, with a main room, side rooms on both sides, and a firewood shed with chopped firewood already laid out.
"Huh?"
Xu Tong glanced at the chicken coop and raised his brows, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"Hum hum……"
Before the two of them walked in, a shadow suddenly rushed in from under their feet. It was the little pig that was almost slaughtered just now.
As soon as the little pig entered the courtyard, he banged open the door of the main house and rushed in.
"Follow me and have a look."
He patted Li Bo on the shoulder and asked him to go in first. He closed the courtyard door again, but did not follow Li Bo into the main room. Instead, he scanned the other two side rooms and the kitchen first.
After taking a look at the dishes on the kitchen shelf and groping around the stove with his fingers, Xu Tong felt a little confused.
"Brother Xu!!"
At this time, Li Bo's shout came from the main room, and Xu Tong turned around and rushed over. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that the room in front of him was covered with 囍 characters.
There is a fruit plate on the table, with melon seeds, walnuts, peanuts, dates and so on.
Everything looks exactly like a new house in people's minds.
However, the strange thing is that on the chairs in the room, there are two paper figures, a man and a woman. The paper figures are lifelike, and the clothes on their bodies are all sewn with cotton thread.
The same new red clothes, the man has a big red flower hanging on his chest, and the woman has a red hijab on her head.
At first glance it looks like two living people sitting here.
"Wang Shaohui??"
The paper figures were so lifelike that Xu Tong recognized at a glance that one of them was Wang Shaohui who had left before, and the other...
He held the corner of the hijab with his fingers, gently opened a slit, and took a sideways look, and sure enough, it was Zhou Yu.
"Brother Xu, look at this!!"
Li Bo pulled him to the bedside and opened the bed curtain. He saw Zhou Yu and Wang Shaohui lying on the bed wearing the same clothes as the paper figures.
He stretched out his fingers and put them in front of their noses, and found that both of them were breathing.
But no matter whether Li Bo pinched them or hit them, they couldn't wake up at all.
"Hum hum……"
The piggy on the side kept pushing its head against the door of the big wardrobe next to the bed, as if to remind the two of them that there was something inside. Li Bo walked up and opened the door of the cupboard. Suddenly he saw a figure, and he fell directly on Li Bo. , Li Bo was so frightened that he quickly threw the person to the ground.
Then I took a closer look by candlelight. Isn't it Zhang Hao?
"Hum hum……"
The piglet kept hitting Zhang Hao's forehead, then stood on Zhang Hao and let out a low sob at the two of them. Tears actually rolled down from the piglet's eyes.
"Zhang Hao?" Xu Tong asked tentatively.
Piggy nodded repeatedly.
"Hi~~Are you Zhang Hao??"
Li Bo on the side took a breath and asked again in disbelief. When he saw Zhang Hao nodded again, Li Bo's neck stiffened and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Buzz~~~"
At this time, Xu Tong's ears suddenly moved and he heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open. He couldn't help but frown: "Hide!"
"Huh??Hide??"
Li Bo looked around. It wasn't that there was no place to hide, but that there were many places that couldn't accommodate his fat body. Looking at Zhang Hao on the ground again, I could only curse in my heart, pick up Zhang Hao's body, and hide in the cabinet with the piglet.
Xu Tong didn't have the same worries as Li Bo. He had been locked up in a mental hospital for many years. He was malnourished and relatively thin. He hid in the crack behind the bed, and almost no one could see him through the curtain of the bed.
The two of them had just taken cover when they saw the door of the room being pushed open gently with a "buzz~~" sound.
As a cold wind blew into the room, after blowing out the candles in the room, only two crooked shadows were seen shining in from outside the door...
