Chapter 278: Corpse floating in the well
Crack!
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 dripping with laughter.
Wei Hengbo put away the 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 When the knife was withdrawn from the wild dog's neck, a faint wisp of blood was sucked in.
The two brothers and sisters have rich experience in surviving in the wild, so their mission is to go out to find food.
It just came out not long ago.
I came across a wild dog tearing away carrion. When it saw the two of them, it roared and rushed over, but Wei Hengbo slashed to death with a knife.
Wei Hengbo picked up the dog's tail.
“Dinner is ready.”
Wei Qinglan rolled her eyes and pushed him angrily.
"This thing feeds on humans. You are not afraid of being poisoned after eating it. Let's find other beasts."
Wei Hengbo shrugged and looked away.
"Then keep looking, but I think such a beast may be difficult to find."
Following Wei Hengbo's line of sight, the surrounding area of Wu Burial Village is full of weeds and wild trees. , it looks like just an ordinary wasteland, but as long as you open a place of lush grass, you can find human bones under the grass.
The bodies of dead people were randomly dumped in the wilderness.
Any animal that eats meat may not be able to refuse this free food...
...
The west side of Wu Burial Village.
Wen Chao, Jiang Chun, and Ran Qiuhua are 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. Collect these things Get up, very useful for future survival.
In the eyes of Jiang Chun and the two women.
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 don’t know much about 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 out 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 tells them, they will try their best to do it. And because Wen Chao is an old man, there are many jobs that require bending or lifting heavy objects. They didn't let Wen Chao do it, and they would support Wen Chao when they encountered places where he could easily fall.
There is nothing wrong with their thinking.
Use the physical strength of young people 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...
The two women of Wen Chao will He saw all the movements in his eyes, and his eyes were very pleased.
"They are all good kids..."
Jiang Chun was especially admired by him.
As he watched, he felt that some of Jiang Chun's movements seemed a bit like his deceased wife...
...
South 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 mouth of the well. 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!
Somehow.
Aunt Miao was in a daze and was about to fall into the well. If Su Xuan hadn't noticed something strange behind her 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 tried to get two fish out of the river.
They are new people.
So when I entered the blessed land, I also brought in the things around me, such as Aunt Miao’s modified drink bottle used 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. I will play chess with you. If you need someone to talk to, I can also listen to your nagging. I can listen to whatever you say with peace of mind.”
Wu Xian shuttled between the old people diligently.
The tone is a little awkward.
But after he had been busy for a long time, no old man paid attention to him. No matter how he tried to persuade them, it was as if their upper and lower lips were 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, but instead suffered countless cold looks, especially from a thin old woman with tattered clothes, who looked like Looking at him with hatred.
During this period, he saw that Du E was also trying to do something similar. Judging from her frustrated 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 for the time being.
In addition, these rooms are very simple and you can see them all 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 worship tools he has on him should be used sparingly.
While thinking.
Wu Xian suddenly heard painful groans.
He followed the sound to a room and saw the old woman with evil eyes vomiting.
"Woo...wow..."
The filth was stained on the front of the clothes and the ground below.
After vomiting, the old woman felt relieved, but suddenly something failed her, 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.
Dead...
This old woman who didn't give him a good look just now died like this.
Wu Xian had a sullen face and conducted a simple inspection of the old woman's body.
It was found 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. 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..."
