Chapter 119 The Damaged Door Panel
The village chief glanced at the locked doors and windows, and his eyes fell on Yaya.
"Dear baby, are you having fun playing with your sister?"
Yaya responded excitedly, "Okay," and the village chief felt relieved. After all, the secret of their village could not be seen by an outsider.
The village chief no longer doubted Feng Tianning and took out a few steamed buns from the refrigerator and put them on the table.
"Yaya's mom is not here, so let's eat this today."
Feng Tianning nodded. She had never been very demanding about food, but now she couldn't eat much and had a bad feeling in her heart.
After dinner, the village chief took her to the empty room in the back.
"Girl, I remind you again, no matter what noise you hear at night, don't come out, especially if you hear knocking or scratching on the door."
Looking at the serious expression of the village chief, Feng Tianning swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue and nodded obediently.
Seeing that she understood, the village chief returned to his room, looking back every few steps.
Feng Tianning didn't sleep until two o'clock in the middle of the night, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside.
But until dawn, there was still no movement outside the village chief's house.
Feng Tianning suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that the purple zombie had been subdued?
The chickens in the village had already crowed twice. When Feng Tianning went out, he happened to meet Fu Ruxuan and Xuan Gou Chen who were rushing over.
Looking at the bruises on their eyes, she realized something was wrong. She glanced at the village chief who was busy in the kitchen and pulled them behind the pigpen.
"What did you see last night?"
Xuan Gou Chen rubbed his aching eyebrows and spoke first:
"Yesterday, after Zhang Laosan and I returned home, everything was fine until one o'clock. But after one o'clock, there seemed to be footsteps outside."
"Footsteps?"
Xuan Gou Chen nodded and took out a photo from his mobile phone.
“These are the footprints I took after I came out this morning.”
The footsteps at Zhang Laosan's door last night did not last long. Just when Xuan Gou Chen was about to go out to take a look, he suddenly saw Zhang Laosan guarding the door.
Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Laosan covered her mouth with his hand.
Just when she was confused, there was a sudden sound of knocking on the door and nails scratching on wooden boards.
Xuan Gou Chen immediately got goose bumps all over his body and squatted at the foot of the wall with Zhang Laosan.
I don't know how long it took before the knocking on the door gradually subsided. "What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?"
Zhang Laosan's face was full of anger. He didn't listen to her explanation at all and wanted to drive Xuan Gou Chen out immediately.
After hearing her words, Feng Tianning looked at Fu Ruxuan with a serious expression.
"You also encountered this situation?"
Fu Ruxuan shook her head. She didn't see any zombies, but all the pigs of Chen Si's family died in the pigsty early in the morning. There were two holes on their bodies, but there was no sign of bleeding under the holes, and all the blood in their bodies had disappeared.
Chen Si refused to let her stay there no matter what, and insisted that Fu Ruxuan had attracted something that killed his pigs.
"So you two are homeless now?"
They nodded with a look of grievance on their faces.
"Tianning, how were you last night?"
Feng Tianning pondered for a moment and said:
"Nothing."
"Captain Liu said we need to maintain order here and protect the villagers, so we can't leave for the time being."
Fu Ruxuan nodded. She also received a call from Captain Liu.
"The story out there is that it was a case of rabies. Captain Liu's message is that we absolutely cannot tell anyone about the zombie incident, or else it will cause panic."
"We are homeless now, so we have no choice but to come to you for help."
Feng Tianning frowned and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhang Laosan who came in a hurry.
"Village chief, you must save me!"
As soon as Zhang Laosan entered the door, he rushed to the village chief and started crying with tears and snot.
"The thing in the ancestral temple has haunted me, you must save me!"
The village chief's expression suddenly changed. He glanced at Feng Tianning and the others standing outside and said in a low voice:
"Don't be afraid, go in and talk."
Feng Tianning and the others did not follow in, but walked forward a few steps and stopped about seven or eight meters away from the room.
Although the two people in the room deliberately lowered their voices, they were monks and their hearing was hundreds of times stronger than that of ordinary people. The conversation inside was clearly heard by them.
Inside the house, Zhang Laosan trembled as he hugged the village chief's thighs, his lips pale as he spoke:
"Village Chief, the monster in the ancestral hall has escaped and is haunting me... haunting me..."
The village chief frowned, scolded him, looked outside cautiously, and when he saw that there was no movement, he pulled him up.
"Nonsense, there's nothing in the ancestral hall."
The village chief's eyes flickered a little, but Zhang Laosan didn't notice it at all. Seeing that the village chief didn't believe him, Zhang Laosan became anxious.
"Village Chief, we all know what's inside the ancestral hall. You don't have to hide it."
"We followed you in that day and saw what was in the coffin, and..."
"What else?" The village chief's face was full of anger at this moment, and he wanted to kick Zhang Laosan out directly.
"We also brought back a few jade pendants, which were all worthless things."
Zhang Laosan's voice became smaller and smaller, and his head was almost buried in the ground.
"What a mess!"
The village chief slapped his thigh, looked at Zhang Laosan who was kneeling on the ground in front of him with a look of dismay, and said through gritted teeth:
"Who did you go with?"
Zhang Laosan hesitated for a moment and finally said Chen Si's name.
Seeing that the village chief remained silent, Zhang Laosan was so anxious that he was about to cry. He kowtowed to him and cried out:
"Someone knocked on my door last night. I was terrified all night. I finally made it to dawn and went out to find that someone had poked several holes in my door panel with their fingers."
"That's a door made of acacia wood. Human hands aren't steel bars. How could they possibly poke it out?"
"Village Chief, I must have attracted something when I went to the ancestral temple that day. You must save me!"
The village chief had a serious look on his face and was about to speak when he heard a commotion outside.
"What's going on?" He pushed open the door and suddenly saw more than a dozen villagers crowded in his yard, looking like they wanted to ask for an explanation.
Seeing the village chief come out, the leading villager stepped forward and said:
"Village chief, my dog was bitten to death last night."
"Yes, three of my pigs were bitten to death."
“My sheep are gone too.”
…
The village chief felt dizzy and yelled, "Shut up!" The yard instantly became quiet.
After a long while, a villager spoke cautiously:
"Village chief, our livestock were all drained of blood and died, and they all had two holes on their backs."
"Could there be a problem at the ancestral temple?"
