Chapter 24 The Village of No Man

I looked up at the stars in the sky boredly, and suddenly remembered something. In the past, there seemed to be a foreigner sitting under the apple tree to rest. Then he was hit by the apple falling from the tree and found a law. If the apple hit me now, would I also find out what kind of reasons are hidden in the encounters these days?

I looked up hard at the apples on the tree. Although there were many, they were all hung strongly, and none of them seemed to fall off. I had to shake my head in disappointment.

Bored, I took out an apple from my pocket and slowly chewed it over the time. I turned around and looked at the snoring money skewers. I was extremely envious. It was a blessing to be able to eat and sleep.

At this moment, a sound of "Crack!Crack!" suddenly came from my ears, very much like the sound I made when I nibble an apple. Although it was not very loud, it seemed extremely clear on this quiet night.

I quickly turned around and looked for the source of the sound. I soon found that the sound was coming from the wall. I gently kicked Qian Chuanzi with my feet a few times. "Well----" Qian Chuanzi was kicked up, looked around in a daze, then turned to look at me again. I quickly made a silent gesture, raised my hand and pointed to the direction of the wall.

Qian Chuanzi did not make any sound, staring at the wall blankly. After a few seconds, the confusion on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of horror. Obviously, he also heard the sound, and then suddenly became scared and woke up.

Qian Chuanzi and I held a short stick and the other held a soul-breaking knife. We raised our feet slowly, took a step, walked carefully, and walked over carefully, and walked to the side of the empty wooden door. The gap on the wooden door was too narrow, and we had to open it a little more if we wanted to enter, but through this gap, we could at least see the scene inside. There was a relatively large open space in the door, and further forward were several simple houses. The walls were made of many gravels of different sizes and soil. The roof was covered with thatch, and the inside of the house was pitch black. I wonder if anyone lived there.

Due to the angle, I did not find the source of the sound, so I had to take the courage to slowly open the wooden door. Although my movements were already very light, the wooden door was too heavy. When I opened it, it sounded several times, which scared us both in a cold sweat. We stood in front of the door for several seconds and did not dare to take a step. However, the sound of "crack!crack!" did not stop, but instead became clearer because of the proximity of the distance.

Qian Chuanzi and I looked at each other, encouraging each other, then poked out half of our body and looked into the wooden door. The scene in front of us was similar to what we saw through the crack in the door just now, but because of the wider vision, the scene was more comprehensive. Behind the door was an open space the size of a basketball court, and further forward was a relatively wide dirt road. There were simple houses on both sides of the road. There was a courtyard wall of more than half a person made of gravel in front of each room. It felt like this should be a village, or a relatively poor one.

There was no one in the village, nor was there any chickens or dogs barking. Except for the "crack, crack" sound, the rest of the place was dead silent, which felt very strange, especially since we have not found the source of that sound so far, so we can only roughly judge that it should be somewhere not far ahead.

"Be careful!" I whispered to Qian Chuanzi, then walked through the open space to the nearest courtyard, holding the low wall and looking inside. The yard was very messy. There were many unknown plants planted under the yard wall on one side, but now it was trampled. There was a small house like a chicken coop on the other side, which collapsed halfway, and the things raised inside were gone. The door of the yard was completely open, and a big hole was knocked out by something in the wooden window.

What attracted my attention was that there was a large wooden basin in the middle of the yard, with some clothes in it, and a small stool next to it. Now the water in the basin is gone, and even the clothes have dried up, and there are a lot of fallen leaves and wind and sand piled up on it. It is conceivable that the owner here should be washing clothes at that time, and then suddenly encountered an accident and never came back since then. Moreover, this incident seemed to have happened many days ago.

I stared at the doors and windows for a while. The room was dark and I couldn't see anything. I was hesitating whether to go in and take a look. But in the end, I decided to find the source of the sound first. Otherwise, if there was something terrible blocking the door when I entered the house, it would really be like closing the door and beating the dog. No, it should be closing the door and beating people.

I walked along the courtyard wall a few steps and came to the outside of the next house’s yard. The scene here was similar to what I saw just now. I didn’t delay, but just took a quick look and left.

After looking at the yards of four or five houses, the scenes I saw were very messy. It seemed that at some point a few days ago, some terrible things suddenly happened in the village, and then all the people here left. The reason why it was a terrible thing was that I saw obvious traces of fighting in two of the yards. As for the people here, all the people here left, it was because I had not found any corpses so far, but I saw large areas of dark brown, suspected to be blood-stained in some places. And after walking along the way, the sound of "crack!crack!" became clearer and clearer. Now it is confirmed that this sound was made from the yard a few meters away in front.

Qian Chuanzi and I walked over gently, as if we were thieves. We reached out to hold the courtyard wall and looked inside carefully. This time we saw a person squatting on the ground with our back facing us, lowering our heads as if we were eating something.

This sudden encounter was really surprising. Qian Chuanzi and I were both shocked. The hand holding the wall couldn't help but tremble. Several pieces of gravel fell to the ground, making a "slap" sound, which alarmed the person squatting on the ground. He suddenly turned around.

The moment I saw this person's front, Qian Chuanzi and I were both shocked. The man's face turned out to be dark, very much like the monsters falling from the sky I saw in my dream. The only difference was that his eyes actually shone in the dark like beasts, but the beast emitted green light, while the person's eyes emitted red light, and the blood-red color.

The black skin and red eyes made the person look very scary, but what was even more scary was that the thing this person was holding was a whole human leg, from the ankle to the root of the thigh, but only half of the soles of the feet disappeared.

Because he turned around too quickly, the man still maintained his back to us just now, holding his thighs with his hands, and the soles of his feet were at his mouth. A tendon was pulled out, one end connected to the soles of his feet, and the other end was bitten in his mouth and chewing it hard. Now I finally know how the "crack, crack" sound came from, it was the sound he made when he bit his bones.

It was dark late at night, I was in a strange village with no one, and then I saw the scene of eating people. Qian Chuanzi and I felt that my scalp was about to explode. Now I finally knew where the people in this village were gone. I didn’t escape, but were eaten by the person in front of me.

After staring at us for a while, the man actually cracked his mouth and laughed. Because the distance was very close, he could clearly see its yellow teeth and the fine flesh and blood remaining between the teeth. I felt a churning in my stomach, so I had to swallow hard and suppress the feeling of vomiting.

At this time, the terrifying weird guy had already stood up from the ground. He threw the human legs in his hand on the ground, and looked at us with a happier smile. It seemed that compared with the human legs just now, it thought we should taste better.

"Boss, what should I do?" Qian Chuanzi's courage was obviously much bigger. If it were this situation before, he would have been shocked and fainted. Now he could still say the complete words. Although his tone was a little trembling, "Smash it with a stone!" I shouted in a low voice, then grabbed a stone the size of a fist on the low wall and smashed it forward. Qian Chuanzi immediately did it.

Facing the flying stones, the monster instinctively dodged for a moment, and the stone rubbed its arm and flew over. Then the stone smashed by Qian Chuanzi also arrived, but it was directly hit and accurately hit the legs of the human on the ground. The monster turned his head and looked at it, and an angry expression immediately appeared on his face. He was obviously very angry that we damaged its food.

However, Qian Chuanzi and I couldn't care about so much. We grabbed the stones on the wall and smashed them out. The height of the wall was just right, and the workmanship was very rough. The stones were just randomly bonded with clay. They were not very solid and could easily grab the stones, which undoubtedly increased the speed of our throwing stones.

In an instant, many stones hit the monster, but because the level of our throwing stones was too poor, only a few stones hit the target, and most of them were missed, and the stones hit did not cause much damage to the monster. The only function was to make it take a few steps back and be completely angry, making a beast-like roar, resounding through the quiet night sky, and then rushed towards us desperately regardless of the flying stones.

I quickly accelerated the throwing of stones and picked up large pieces of stones, hoping to knock the monster back. At the same time, I quickly glanced at the surrounding terrain to see if there was any place to use, but after seeing it, I was shocked and sweated. I found several black shadows rushing towards here from a distance.
