Chapter 199 Flash Flood
Infected by the blond man's emotions, the expressions of the three people in Jiangcheng also became cautious, and even Chenran who acted casually restrained himself unconsciously.
"What happened a few days later?" Jiang Cheng asked calmly.
The blond man pursed his lips, and then took a swig of wine. The woman serving him didn't know whether she was distracted or frightened by the blond man's expression, but she didn't step forward to fill the bottle with wine.
“A few days later, the person responsible for guarding the edge of the forest suddenly broke into my home and told me to my surprise that those who had disappeared before were back.”
"Come back?" The fat man's eyes widened.
Jiang Cheng glanced at Fatty, who immediately became silent.
"Yes, they are back," the blond man paused and continued: "In any case, this is a great good thing for the town. The old people have children again, and the women have children again. Husband, children... got a father again."
"That night, We were in the town to greet the returning warriors. The town had not been so lively for a long time. Everyone brought out the best wine they had collected, and the men met until they were drunk. "
"In. While drinking, they told what happened after entering the forest"
From here on, the blond man's memories began to become unclear. Perhaps it was his own problem, or perhaps the memories of the men who came out of the forest were biased.
In short, according to the memories of the blond man who is the mayor, not long after the hunters entered the forest, they encountered a rare heavy rain, which caused a flash flood.
At that time, they were in a low-lying area with little room to hide. The flash flood was so fierce that those who could not dodge were swept away in an instant. After the flash flood, when they counted the number of people, they found that one person was missing.
The man is a very young hunter, but he has rich experience and is considered one of the leaders of the team.
The townspeople have a deep relationship with each other. They have all been brothers since childhood, so naturally they cannot abandon him, so even though they know that he is in danger, they still follow the direction of the mountain torrent to find someone.
No, more specifically looking for corpses.
People swept away by flash floods have almost no chance of surviving, especially in deep mountains.
All they had to do was take the body back and bury it.
If you can.
At this moment, they have given up searching for the previously missing people, because based on the weather, they may have encountered a disaster similar to a flash flood, and their chances of survival are very slim.
But what they didn't expect was that, following the direction of the mountain torrent, they actually came to a place they had never been before.
This place is already deep in the forest, and here they discovered a giant stone plate.
The stone plate is pure white, with a strange light floating on it.
Obviously, the stone plate should have been covered by soil before, but now it was washed out due to flash floods.
They were surprised to find that there were fruit trees growing near the stone plate, and the fruits on them were extremely sweet. A stream meandered along the stone plate, and the water was so clear that one could even see the fish coming and going below.< br>
The men talked about how mysterious the stone plate was, and everyone in the town was stunned.
So much so that they forgot their original intention was to find someone.
It’s no wonder that they would be interested there. The sea is no longer a mother-like existence to them. It is becoming more and more difficult to get food from the sea. The mysterious stone plate they accidentally discovered is just right. Make up for the lack of supplies.
Especially because it is an excellent water source, migration seems to be a good choice
With almost no need for discussion, everyone unanimously decided that the hunters will lead the way tomorrow and everyone will go to the forest to have a look.
That night, the blond man who was the mayor drank too much because he was happy, so he was carried back in the middle of the banquet.
As he was lying on the bed, he was drowsily woken up by someone tapping him. The tapping was very hard. The person who came seemed to be in a hurry and kept calling his name in a low voice.
But when the blond man opened his eyes and looked at the person, his mind, which had been unconscious due to drunkenness, suddenly became enlightened. Not only was it bright, but his hair also stood up.
The man squatting in front of him was unkempt and covered in mud, with only two bloodshot eyes staring straight at him. But even so, the blond man still recognized him at a glance!
It was the young man who was washed away by the flash flood!
But isn't he dead?
Could it be? !
Just when the blond man was trembling with fear and speechless, the young man who was washed away by the flash flood spoke.
"Mayor," he said with a cry: "We encountered a flash flood. Except for me, everyone else in the team died!"
"What?!"< br>
Hearing this, the fat man must have felt similar to the former mayor. His heart rose in his throat. If what the men who came back outside said was true, then the young man in front of him was a ghost!
But what if what the young man said is true?
Then what the hell could the men at the banquet outside be?
But then, the fat man's mind turned around, and he immediately determined that the young man who sneaked into the blond man's room was telling the truth, and he was the real one.
Otherwise the fat man looked at the livid-looking blond man, and he might not have a chance to tell himself this story today.
A faint chill came from my heart. Those things outside were really evil, but what was even more terrifying was the white stone plate mentioned by the blond man.
In Su Xiaoxiao's narrative, a strange white stone plate also appeared.
At the same time, numerous bones were piled on the stone plate.
And those bones can come back to life and kill those who get close.
I am afraid that the things Miss Su and her brother met were the men who "returned" from the forest in the story of the blond man.
What are they?
Ghost?
After thinking about it, Fatty always felt that they were not consistent with the image of ghosts in Fatty's mind. They were more like weird existences that were driven to action by some kind of instinct.
There seemed to be something deeper controlling them, but Fatty had no idea for a moment.
As for what happened after that night, the blond man did not mention it, but it could be felt from his eyes that huge changes occurred in the town after that night.
Because his next words were, "I took the remaining men in the town"
The rest.
"Finally we found the stone plate," the light of the torch illuminated the blond hair The man's knife-carved face was reflected in and out of light. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was hoarse as if he had swallowed sand, "Near the stone plate is a barren dead land, with no grass growing, and the dark red soil is like Soaked in blood, on the stone plate."
He paused and suddenly raised his head, his eyes red as if bleeding, "The corpses of the townspeople were piled up layer by layer! , all, all the missing people are here!" Update during May Day, the book club will send out red envelopes at 9 o'clock tomorrow night, group number: 309592377
