Chapter 278 Corpse floating in the well
Click!
A dog''s head fell to the ground and spun around twice.
??This is a strong wild dog, with well-defined muscles on its body, as if it has been exercising. Its eyes are red and its mouth is running wild.
??Wei Hengbo put away his long knife. The entire blade of the knife was filled with a strange blood color. When the knife was withdrawn from the wild dog''s neck, a faint wisp of blood was sucked in.
They are two brothers and sisters who have rich experience in surviving in the wild, so their task is to go out to find food.
It just came out not long ago.
??Just then he came across a wild dog tearing away carrion. When he saw the two of them, he roared and rushed towards him. Wei Hengbo raised his knife and hacked him to death.
Wei Hengbo picked up the dog''s tail.
“Dinner is served.”
??Wei Qinglan rolled her eyes and pushed him angrily.
"This thing feeds on humans. You are not afraid of being poisoned if you eat it. Let''s find other wild animals."
Wei Hengbo shrugged and looked into the distance.
“Then keep looking, but I think such a beast may be difficult to find.”
?Following Wei Hengbo''s line of sight, Wu Burial Village was surrounded by weeds and wild trees. It looked like an ordinary wasteland, but as long as one cleared the lush grass, human bones could be found under the grass.
The corpses of dead people were randomly dumped in the wilderness.
As long as they are meat-eating animals, I am afraid that they cannot refuse this free food...
…
The west side of Wu Burial Village.
Wen Chao, Jiang Chun, and Ran Qiuhua were collecting some things.
For example, hemp grass can be used to twist ropes, dry firewood can be used to start a fire, mugwort can be disinfected after burning...
?Although the house is empty, many things in the wild can be used. Collecting these things will be very useful for future survival.
From the perspective of the two daughters Jiang and Chun.
The old man Wen Chao is the most reliable one in the team, so if you stay with him, your survival rate should be very high.
The two of them didn’t know much about the Blessed Land.
The strange walking corpses last night and the old people today scared them.
So they discussed it and agreed that if they wanted to survive, they could only rely on experienced seniors.
But they don’t want to be protected by being parasites, nor do they want to sell their looks, etc. If they want to be protected by others, the best way is to show their own value.
So they worked very hard.
Although they have never been exposed to similar work at all, as long as Wen Chao asks them, they will try their best to do it. And because Wen Chao is an old man, they do not allow Wen Chao to do many jobs that require bending or lifting heavy objects. Do it, and you will support Wen Chao when you encounter places where you can easily fall.
There is nothing wrong with their thinking.
Use young people’s physical strength in exchange for survival experience.
??But if Wu Xian sees this scene, he will definitely complain, because the old man Wen Chao has even better physical fitness than Wu Xian...
Wen Chao saw all the movements of the two women in his eyes, his eyes were very pleased.
“They are all good boys…”
Especially Jiang Chun, whom he admired even more.
?As he looked at it, he felt that some of Jiang Chun''s actions seemed a bit like his deceased wife...
…
Southern side of Wu Burial Village.
There are the most people here, five in total.
Aunt Miao, Yang Bin, Xiao Gao, Su Xuan, and Li Juxian were responsible for solving the team’s drinking water problem.
There is a well in the center of Wu Burial Village.
So normally, they have no shortage of daily water.
But when Aunt Miao wanted to fetch water, she smelled a stench as soon as she reached the wellhead. She was shocked to find a human face at the bottom of the well that was swollen and soaked!
??The man''s face had his eyes open, and the corners of his mouth were deformed due to swelling. He vaguely seemed to be smiling at Aunt Miao!
I don’t know why.
Aunt Miao was in a daze and was about to fall into the well.? ? ? ?Had it not been for Su Xuan behind her who noticed something strange and pulled her out in time, she would have become a corpse in the well!
?This horrifying episode.
It can only be said to be a routine event in the blessed land.
But after this incident, they did not dare to fetch water from the well, and even if they took out the water, they did not dare to use it.
So they walked around.
On the south side of the village, I found a clear small river ditch, which should be a tributary of the river under Sanxian Bridge.
?So Yang Bin, Xiao Gao, and Su Xuan carried wooden barrels back and forth to carry water to the village.
Aunt Miao and Li Juxian were trying to get two fish out of the river.
They are new people.
So when entering the blessed land, I also brought in the things around me, such as the modified drink bottle used by Aunt Miao to catch small fish and Li Juxian''s fishing rod.
??But the two of them worked at the river for a long time, but neither caught a single fish.
It''s like there is no life in this clear river ditch...
…
“Grandma, do you have a sore back? My massage skills are great!”
“Old man, you are lonely. Let me play chess with you. If you need someone to talk to, I can also listen to your chatter. I can listen to whatever you say with peace of mind.”
?Wu Xian diligently shuttled among the old people.
The tone is a little bit awkward.
But he had been busy for a long time, but no old man paid attention to him. No matter how he tried to persuade him, these people''s upper and lower lips seemed to be sewn shut.
He walked through all the rooms and returned to the center of the village. After walking around twice, he finally couldn''t help but curse in a low voice.
“Are all these old men mute?”
??Wu Xian did not get any verbal information. Instead, he received numerous cold looks, especially from a thin old woman in tattered clothes, who looked at him as if she had a grudge.
During this period, he saw Du E trying to do something similar. Judging from her depressed expression, he probably didn''t gain much.
?But Wu Xian at least confirmed it.
?These old people are all human beings, not ghosts pretending to be ghosts, so there is no need to worry about these old people suddenly transforming.
?In addition, these rooms are very simple and can be seen at a glance, but Wu Xian did not see any statues of gods, which means that the way of worshiping gods in this blessed place is still a mystery.
So the two god-worshipping tools he has on him should be used sparingly.
While thinking about it.
?Wu Xian suddenly heard painful groans.
He followed the sound to a room and saw the old woman with evil eyes vomiting.
“Woooo…wow…”
Dirt was stained on the front of the clothes and on the ground underneath.
?After vomiting, the old woman took her breath away, but suddenly nothing happened, and her body twitched, and she lay motionless on her side.
?Wu Xian carefully walked over to check and touched the old woman''s neck. She had no pulse.
Died…
??This old woman who just didn''t give him a good look died like this.
Wu Xian looked solemn and conducted a simple inspection of the old woman’s body.
It was discovered that she was severely malnourished and had serious problems with food and drinking water.
The water she drank came from the small pitcher next to her. The water in the pitcher was already smelly. It should have been filled from the well where the corpse was. There was also a bag next to her, which contained moldy dry food...
??The old woman had difficulty moving, and the old people around her had no spare time to take care of her, so she could only eat and drink spoiled food and water, and eventually died from these foods...
?Wu Xian suddenly felt a little confused.
“I understand…”
