Chapter 122 Entrustment
As he spoke, Song Yao took out a few rolls of transparent tape and said, "So, try to wrap up any gaps first to avoid any accidents."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Yaoyao."
Li Lian and Er Zhuang took it over, and they helped each other to wrap the ankles, elbows, necks and other parts of their shoes except for the hard soles, to prevent spiders from crawling into them.
After doing all this, screams were heard from several houses in the distance in the village. The sounds echoed in the gray sky, sounding particularly miserable and helpless.
Liang Qing knew that now was not the time to be soft-hearted. She had to know her own limitations. Time was running out, and unless everyone chose to leave the village, not many people could be saved.
At this moment, Li Lian, who was keeping watch at the door, suddenly said, "Qingqing, look, those people running over there, aren't they Xiaoyue and the others?"
Xiaoyue?
Liang Qing frowned and found a few people running towards him from a distance. They looked panicked, as if they were avoiding something.
Li Lian panicked. "Qingqing, what's going on? Why are they here? What if they bring the spider here?"
Song Yao comforted them, "Don't worry, Qingqing and I will stay here and see what happened. You go through the backyard first. It's a blind spot over there and no one can see it."
"Okay, I'll take care of the elderly..."
Li Lian agreed immediately. Now was not the time to refuse. It was obvious that Liang Qing and Song Yao were capable. Since they chose to do so, they must have their own reasons.
Er Zhuang also hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Sister Qingqing, I will protect Grandpa Liang and Grandma Liang."
Liang Qing nodded: "Well, as long as the gray fog has dissipated, there shouldn't be any danger. You guys just wait at the village entrance and find a secluded place. We will come out when we get there."
After arranging everything, Li Lian and Er Zhuang took the elderly people away smoothly.
At this time, Liang Qing and Song Yao saw the person coming clearly.
It was indeed Xiaoyue and her mother-in-law, and the person following them was a member of the patrol team.
The two of them were stumbling as they ran, but fortunately the person behind them was not running very fast either, and kept a certain distance between them, so they were not caught up.
After seeing Liang Qing's family, Xiaoyue burst into tears and shouted loudly: "Sister Qingqing, please save us."
The person was right in front of him, and Liang Qing couldn't just stand by and watch him die. He immediately opened the door and beckoned them into the courtyard: "Come in!"
After the two came in, Liang Qing immediately closed the door and looked at Song Yao. Song Yao then climbed onto the roof at the door.
The situation was unclear, so Liang Qing didn't dare approach the two of them. "What happened to Xiaoyue? Where's the old village chief?"
Xiaoyue and her mother-in-law were exhausted and panting. Seeing Liang Qing standing some distance away from them, Xiaoyue explained with tears in her eyes, "Sister Qingqing, my mother-in-law and I were not bitten by a spider. You, don't worry. But the one chasing us is someone who was bitten by a spider."
After listening to Xiaoyue's explanation, Liang Qing did not relax his vigilance. He first asked the two to check whether there were any spiders, and then he felt relieved.
Seeing the two embarrassed people, she had a bad feeling in her heart: "Where is the old village chief? Why are only you two running out?"
Xiaoyue cried, "Just now, a few patrolmen found someone bitten by a spider and wanted to check on them. Unexpectedly, they were bitten by the spider themselves and came to my house. I tried to persuade my father not to open the door, but you know how stubborn he is. He insisted on opening it, and ended up getting bit by the spider."
"It was then that he realized the seriousness of the spider problem. In order to protect my mother and me, he stopped those spider-men. I took the opportunity to run away."
So that's what happened. Considering the old village chief's character, it's something he could do.
Liang Qing felt a little sad, but now was not the time to be sad. He told Xiaoyue and her mother-in-law to put on their clothes and tape up the gaps.
Then I took the opportunity to pour cold water on the gap under the door to prevent spiders from crawling in from underneath.
At the same time, with the sound of water, a scream came from outside. Song Yao jumped down from the wall and threw down a bucket of water. "Okay, the man outside has been frostbitten."
In fact, it is very simple to subdue a person controlled by a spider. All you need is some cold water. At a temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, the water you pour out will freeze instantly, making them temporarily unable to move.
This was also the idea that Song Yao had just come up with. He mentioned it to Liang Qing just now, and unexpectedly it worked.
The crisis was temporarily resolved and several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Unexpectedly, the voice of the old village chief came from the loudspeaker.
Xiaoyue's nose suddenly felt sore, "Sister Qingqing, the voice on the radio is my father."
Liang Qing also understood the old village chief's approach. Now that he had been bitten by a spider, he was sure he would not survive, so he could only use the radio to make an announcement to everyone in the village.
The voice from the loudspeaker slowly came over: "Fellow villagers, I'm Lao Zheng. I've been the village chief for so many years, and I honestly don't think I've done anything unconscionable. Since this natural disaster, I've been diligently fulfilling my duties as a village chief. However, I was careless about Lao Liu. Liang Qing is right. The world has changed, and it's no longer something we old folks can see clearly. Qingqing told me that spiders can parasitize humans. Lao Liu died and ran back to the village because the spiders were controlling him."
The old village chief paused, as if suppressing some pain, before he slowly said, "I didn't believe it at first. How could a spider control a person? No one of us of the older generation has ever heard of such a bizarre thing. It's so out of the ordinary. Could it be that demons and monsters have just appeared in books?"
"So, I didn't believe Qingqing's words and only had Xiaoyue broadcast the warnings about spider defense. I didn't tell anyone the truth. But now things have gotten out of control. Lao Liu's house has been burned down, and all the spiders hiding in their house have escaped. Some people have even been infested by spiders."
"So, everyone must seal the doors and windows. No matter how the person outside calls for help, do not open your front door. This is the safest way to do it. Although it sounds very inhumane, who knows now whether it is a human wandering outside, or a spider controlling a human skin?"
"The other thing is what Qingqing has always wanted to do. She told me to leave the village as soon as possible and seek shelter outside, but I never agreed. After all, compared to the dangerous outside world, our village has never encountered any problems and has always been safe. Now that we've encountered the spider, I truly understand that the village is no longer a safe haven. Now everyone must escape if they can."
"Qingqing, now Grandpa asks you to take as many of our fellow villagers with you as possible. This is my only last wish."
