The Land of Unforgettable Death 6
The big white goose with sleek feathers was lifted high up, flapping back and forth with its webbed feet like paddling in the water, but it could not stop being thrown out by its owner who had clamped its wings and could easily decide its life or death.
A pair of white wings flapped in the air, and in the bright and dazzling beam of light, countless tiny down feathers floated in the air.
At the same time, the big white goose itself was like a heavy stone, and the water was like a black hole with strong attraction. Its fluffy feathers and wide webbed feet did not play any role at all, and it sank straight down the moment it touched the water surface.
The people on the bridge were waiting anxiously, thinking that if the goose could fly, there would still be a glimmer of hope. But when the result came out, they began to lament.
The results of two consecutive tests on poultry were clear: swimming from the river to the other side was not a feasible escape route.
The road out of the village was completely blocked.
"Is it haunted?" the woman asked.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the woman who had been screaming nervously before. The village chief frowned and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Her older sister, who was on good terms with her, couldn't stand her mystification: "Fen'er, what on earth do you want to say?"
The woman silently lifted her clothes. The three layers of bandages wrapped around her belly still couldn't stop the blood from seeping out. Without a barrier, the internal organs, which had begun to rot two days ago and were now stuck together, would probably slide out of the gaping hole in no time.
In fact, that was exactly what happened last time. She trembled as she bent down and picked them up and stuffed them back in. Although for her now, the presence or absence of internal organs was not a big deal.
She showed it tentatively, hoping someone would give her some useful advice. She was afraid of scaring others away, and she didn't even dare to remove the medical bandage that only served as a cover.
The old sisters were the first to scream at the top of their lungs, unleashing an unprecedented amount of energy. The elderly people who normally had to use a cane to walk started running away.
There are enemies among the masses!
The villagers, who were already extremely nervous, immediately scattered like animals and birds, and the others who were standing on the periphery and didn't know why ran the fastest.
The world changed overnight, and decades of trust crumbled. Everyone was too worried to think about anything else, and at the slightest sign of trouble, they all chose to abandon cooperation and flee home.
"Dad, Mom, it's okay, let's walk slowly." Considering the old man's health, Yin's mother slowed down her pace when she saw her feet stepping on the deserted path.
Qiong Qing patted her thighs to relax her tense muscles and shook her head, "What a sin!"
The neighbors' house was completely silent and the fire had gone out, making it difficult to connect it with the previous carnival scene.
The group returned home, and Ji Lin locked the two heavy iron doors.
The wind swirled and blew the fallen leaves around in circles. Yinsui stared at it rising and falling. Every time they burned paper money on Qingming Festival, when this kind of swirling wind appeared, his grandparents would say that it was the deceased coming back to collect the money.
She walked up the steps eagerly, and when she was about to enter the living room door, she couldn't help but look back, and the leaves flew high.
Three adults with worried faces sat under the cherry tree in the yard, talking in low voices, their bodies whipped by the shadows cast by the branches.
It's not fair at all that I'm the one who knows the most so far, but I'm prohibited from participating in the subsequent discussion.
"What are you talking about?" He went away and came back.
Qiong Qing waved her hand like she was chasing away a fly: "Sui Sui, go play over there first. We are discussing the important matters."
"Oh." He walked away unhappily.
At the end of his words, Ji Lin pondered for a moment and said to Yin's mother, "From now on, you should live on the second floor with Sui Sui. Although we two old bones are not as strong as young people, we can still call for help. Just run away when we call."
"That won't do. We shouldn't let an elderly person put himself in danger."
Lin Qiongqing and others are stubborn. Once they make a decision, no one can change it, and they won't change their minds no matter how much they are persuaded.
As a grandfather, Ji Lin took the tools and went upstairs with Yinmu, walked to the large room between the master bedroom and the corridor, which was where Yinsui slept, and fixed it with a strong rope to make a simple zipline. If anything happened, the mother and daughter could use it to escape to the bamboo forest behind the house.
"If it really doesn't work..." They have been saying this often since the incident happened.
Before falling asleep, Yin Sui turned over and asked his mother, who was in a state of reverie, "Mom, what about Dad?"
The woman, who had been distracted countless times during the day, turned back to Shenhua and replied softly, "He's an adult. He'll come back when it's safe. Go to sleep."
Can't sleep.
Since that day, every time he fell asleep, his forebrain would automatically jump to what he saw and heard downstairs of Qin Yun Building: Qin Yun with big red lips smiling mysteriously, and Chen Lei's unrecognizable body turned into a piece of meat and the scene of fire.
With nothing to do, the family went to bed early when the clock pointed to eight o'clock, which was exactly when a party was being held in the yard next door.
"Bang!"
“Hahahahahaha…”
Qin Yun's show was on time. Would she still stand on the rooftop and watch silently? It didn't matter anymore. After finally waiting for the show to end, Yin Sui turned over and fell asleep peacefully facing the wall.
It's raining... Outside the window came the sound of running water and the dull thud of bamboos and awnings being slapped.
She sat up happily as she felt a bit of novelty in her boring prison life.
The mother, who has been worried for many days, has had her sleep quality at two extremes. She tossed and turned all night long and was almost unconscious at some point. Tonight seemed to be the second situation, and she did not respond to her daughter's movements at all.
Although I was told not to open the curtains, it was too painful not to be able to get close to nature. The living were not like the dead who dissolve in water and disappear in the rain.
In this case, the rain is probably full of them, softened, flowing, invisible souls of the dead.
Realizing this, Yinsui, who was lying beside the rusty protective net, took two steps back and then comforted himself: "My hair is already stained with rainwater, isn't it okay now?" It doesn't matter, there are enough bad things, don't add unnecessary worries and suffocate yourself.
All was silent.
Contrary to expectations, the screams stopped after a day or two. Aside from the lingering smell of blood, the area outside the village was peaceful. As time went on, it became clear that there were no living creatures left. Given the current situation, it was unclear whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
In the midst of all the boredom, even the neighbors' screams, cheers and a simple rain every night became interesting.
She is the one who accepts the current situation the fastest among the four members of the family. After all, the past is the shortest and easiest to overturn. Now she has entered a stage of finding joy in suffering.
After all, this kind of life seems to be endless, and it is impossible to endure waiting in vain. "It is not enough to just be alive, we also need sunshine, freedom, and the fragrance of flowers."
As the rain fell, the smell of blood faded, and the fresh, damp, and cool smell unique to the forest filled the nostrils. Five or six stone tablets were buried at the bottom of the bamboo shadows that swayed like vines whipping the void.
Was it the madman named Chen who woke them up from underground in the beginning? But Qin Yun said it was the woman who drifted here... I hate them, I hate every possibility of dragging my life into disaster.
The shadows of the trees covered my figure, and the sound of rain covered the friction of my hands and feet.
While she was lost in thought, the uninvited guest approached silently.
A paper-white face stretched out, and the blurred facial features slid through the narrow gap one by one, and were separated into pieces of flesh by the fine iron net. The rest of the body was hidden behind the curtain. The eyeballs that were suddenly prominent when they met last time were drowned in the darkness. It was not until he saw the red lips clearly that Yinsui suddenly realized.
It’s Qin Yun.
She was like a giant gecko, with her limbs folded and clinging tightly to the vertical wall, her mouth slightly opened in a slender red crescent-like arc.
"..." He was so frightened that three of his seven souls flew away, and he could only stand there like a wooden chicken.
Qin Yun stopped smiling, his lips moving as he tried to lip-sync with what he was saying.
At least he's not here to harm me.
Knowing her purpose, her three souls that had drifted away gradually returned to her body. Afraid that her mother would find out that she opened the curtains in the middle of the night, she suppressed the urge to scream and carefully observed the lip movements without blinking, but she still couldn't understand.
"Your dad is waiting for you downstairs. If you want to leave, go downstairs and find him."
My dad...ah?
Before the listener could respond, the "humanoid gecko" disappeared.
Qin Yun landed on the ground and stood up, passing by a man who was standing in the rain silently and motionless like a bronze statue. The man had no reaction and stared at the sealed window on the second floor.
The opened gap was closed again, and the small figure made a choice.
This was the choice she expected. She had made the same decision before. They were truly good friends.
Where is the resentful soul that was freed from my mother's body wandering now?
Mother……
The violent storm was blocked out by the thick brick wall, and could only be glimpsed through the hollow pattern at the end of the corridor. It seemed to be called the Eight Treasures of Fortune and Luck, but it was useless and did not seem to bring much fortune.
The living room of the house is decorated in Chinese style. When it rains, the smell of rotting wooden furniture rises from the ground.
In addition, there is another smell coming from the third room on the left, which comes from a decaying human body.
She walked alone through the long and narrow corridor and pushed the door open.
It was raining heavily, and as expected, the bedroom window was not closed, and a small puddle of clear water had accumulated at the base of the wall, reflecting the red and white faces leaning over like paper figures.
The glass window was pushed to the other side to prevent moisture from entering. Too much moisture would have caused the rot to worsen. I should have remembered to close it when I left.
Incidentally, the wind in the room died down, and the dull, intermittent noise of toes hitting the solid wooden wardrobe gradually subsided.
Qin Yun walked to the door and touched the light switch.
The moment the room lights came on, a huge black shadow fell heavily over the head, swaying back and forth.
Mom, I have to die because there is no place for me to stay without you.
My brother is sick. How could he suddenly become so ill when he was so healthy before? I don't understand. He lay in bed, barely breathing, his once bright eyes now cloudy as a dead fish, and his whole body stank of corpses. I've never smelled a corpse, but I imagine the smell is pretty much the same when someone is dying. Death is a difficult thing to hide. No one talks about it, but everyone thinks about it.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be crying every day, and your dad wouldn't suddenly bring home another poor substitute.
Everyone in our family is dead. My brother is on his way to death. My father has been a piece of rotten meat for a long time, but we found out too late. There is also a substitute and his mother - actually, it is okay to let him join. After all, our family is really unlucky and they deserve retribution.
Mom, I have to die because there is no place for me to stay without you.
Who knows if that man will come back with a replacement for me after he gets out?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Let’s talk about it after you come back. It’s almost dawn.
