Chapter 11 Women
The others didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Wang Xiaoyi, but instead focused their attention on the corpse in front of them.
"Great! I didn't expect to find the body so quickly." Xiong Qi praised Lin Qiushi's good luck. "I thought we'd have to spend the night outside."
"Let's go and take the body back." Cheng Wen calmed down a little after seeing the body. He spat on the ground and glared at Wang Xiaoyi hatefully. "You're lucky."
Wang Xiaoyi showed a look of fear and tried to hide behind Lin Qiushi. This time, Lin Qiushi didn't let her do that. He grabbed Wang Xiaoyi's wrist and said, "Don't be afraid of him. We're here. Cheng Wen, are you sick? Why are you scaring a girl?"
Cheng Wen said, "She's not even human. I saw it all!" He seemed to be mentally ill and was in a state of rage. However, after Lin Qiushi's words, he at least stopped threatening Wang Xiaoyi and instead lowered his head to work with Xiong Qi to dig the body out of the snow pit.
The corpse had been frozen in the snow for several days, but it still looked the same as before. Even the internal organs and spine could be clearly seen at the broken parts of the waist and abdomen, which made people's scalps tingle.
If this had been Lin Qiushi's first encounter with this world, he would have probably vomited. But after a few days of training, the sight of the corpse had left Lin Qiushi completely unmoved, and he even wanted to study it further.
"How do we move back?" Xiao Ke asked, "Do we carry it on our backs?"
"Let's drag him back." Xiong Qi said, "It's not very respectful to the dead, but it's better than two more people dying."
If it were in the real world, carrying a dead person on your back might not be a big deal, but the world inside the door is too weird. Who knows if the dead person on your back will suddenly come back to life.
"Okay." Lin Qiushi agreed.
So the two of them tied up the body with ropes, and then placed the wooden boards they had brought with them under the body to make a simple sled that was easy to drag across the snow.
"Let's go." After finishing, Xiong Qi and Lin Qiushi each pulled one side of the body and continued along the path. The girls walked ahead, while Lin Qiushi kept his attention on Wang Xiaoyi.
He had just deliberately grasped Wang Xiaoyi's wrist, but felt nothing unusual. The temperature and feel of her skin were normal. Could it be that he had just imagined what had happened in the woods? No... Lin Qiushi immediately dismissed his suspicions. In this world, even an illusion should be treated with caution. After all, one wrong step could cost one's life.
The group walked forward. Ruan Baijie walked behind Lin Qiushi. The two of them were very close. She whispered, "What did you see?"
Lin Qiushi said, "Two shadows."
Ruan Baijie understood and said "oh".
Lin Qiushi asked, "Is it a human?"
Ruan Baijie laughed softly when she heard Lin Qiushi's question. She said, "If I say he's a human, then he's a human. How can you trust me so much?"
Lin Qiushi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because you're pretty?"
Ruan Baijie: "I like to hear that." She paused for a moment and then continued, "I'm not sure, but it's most likely a human. However, we can't relax. After all, even if the main body is human, who knows what strange things he has with him."
Lin Qiushi thought it made a lot of sense.
The mountain path was very narrow, but fortunately the body was not too heavy. They all breathed a sigh of relief after they got down the path, at least they didn't find anything strange on the road.
"Let's go back quickly." Xiong Qi looked at the sky with a worried expression, "It's almost completely dark."
"Yeah." Lin Qiushi responded.
After nightfall, the whole village fell into deathly silence. The rustling sound of falling snowflakes made the surroundings even more quiet.
As everyone continued to move forward, Wang Xiaoyi, who was walking in front, suddenly coughed violently. She seemed to be choking on something, and her body doubled over.
"Wang Xiaoyi, are you okay?" Xiao Ke who was standing next to her asked.
Wang Xiaoyi said nothing, gently waving a hand to indicate that she was fine. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Cheng Wen, who had been calm, suddenly flew into a rage, grabbed the shovel in his hand, and smashed it towards Wang Xiaoyi.
"What are you doing!" Lin Qiushi stopped Cheng Wen in time and said, "Cheng Wen, you're crazy!"
Cheng Wen's eyes were red, like a madman who had lost his mind, and he roared hoarsely, "She is a ghost! Don't stop me!!"
Wang Xiaoyi's cough became more and more severe. She half-knelt on the ground and even began to vomit because of the violent coughing.
Xiao Ke was close to her, and when he saw clearly what she vomited, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Lin Qiushi turned around and saw that Wang Xiaoyi's mouth was full of black hair. She grabbed her neck with her hands, her expression extremely painful. The black hair flowed out of her mouth and kept wriggling on the ground as if it had life.
"I'm going to kill her! Or she'll kill us!" Cheng Wen had completely lost control. The strength unleashed by a person at his limit was terrifying. In an instant, he had flung Lin Qiushi away. Lin Qiushi fell heavily to the ground, watching helplessly as Cheng Wen swung the shovel and smashed it into Wang Xiaoyi's head.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Wang Xiaoyi screamed miserably as her head was split in two. Hot blood splattered onto the white snow, emitting wisps of white smoke. She stopped vomiting and slowly collapsed in this painful position.
"Haha, haha, she's dead." Cheng Wen showed a satisfied smile. He kicked Wang Xiaoyi's body with his foot and continued to laugh, "Haha, we can live."
No one spoke, and the remaining four people watched this horrifying scene in silence.
The hair that Wang Xiaoyi vomited out gradually began to fade and eventually disappeared. Her eyes were wide open, as if she didn't understand why she would die in this way.
"Haha, haha." Cheng Wen loosened his grip, and the blood-stained shovel fell to the ground. He looked around, seeing expressions of fear or disgust on everyone's faces. "What do you mean by looking at me like that? I saved you!"
“Rustle…”
Just when the atmosphere was frozen, the rustling sound coming from the snow broke the silence.
Lin Qiushi turned around and clearly heard a strange sound coming from the forest - it seemed like something was rubbing against the ground and approaching here.
"What's that sound?" Lin Qiushi felt uneasy. "Let's go."
"Yeah." Xiong Qi's expression also changed slightly. He no longer had the energy to care about Cheng Wen and Lin Qiushi who had killed Wang Xiaoyi. They tacitly pulled the rope and ran towards home.
This time, everyone ran without leaving any energy behind, but the soft snow and heavy clothing still caused them a lot of trouble. Lin Qiushi was panting heavily, but he didn't dare to stop. He could clearly hear the sound getting closer.
Cheng Wen was also running and was at the front of the team. He was the first to arrive at the residence.
"Cheng Wen, open the door quickly!" Xiong Qi shouted angrily.
Cheng Wen opened the door in a panic. Logically, he should have rushed in, but he saw something inside the door and started shoveling at the air, yelling, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
Lin Qiushi initially thought he was having an emotional breakdown, but after closer inspection, he was shocked to discover that Cheng Wen was indeed in trouble. His shadow, cast by the moonlight, had become two. One was his own, and the other was that of a long-haired woman. The woman reached out and held Cheng Wen's hand. The two shadows lay quietly side by side on the ground, as if they had been separated from Cheng Wen's body.
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!!" Cheng Wen screamed miserably. The fear was about to crush his last nerve. In the end, Lin Qiushi couldn't bear it anymore and went up to him and hit him with a knife, knocking him unconscious. Only then did he stop screaming.
"Come in quickly!!!" Ruan Baijie shouted from inside the house, "That thing is coming soon."
Lin Qiushi and Xiong Qi divided the work, one moved the corpse and the other moved the people. Just as they moved the corpse and the people into the house, they heard the harsh rustling sound at the door.
"Knock knock knock." Someone knocked on the door.
The remaining four people in the room were all gasping for breath, and no one responded.
"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking continued. As if realizing they wouldn't open the door, a woman's voice rang out. She said, "Open the door! I'm so hungry. Please give me something to eat."
When Lin Qiushi heard the word "hungry", he immediately thought of the evil god that the carpenter had mentioned.
"I'm so hungry." The woman muttered, her voice getting louder and louder. "Please be kind and give me something to eat."
"Fuck." Xiao Ke suddenly cursed, "Look at the wall!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiushi looked towards the wall and actually saw half of a head sticking out and a pair of black eyes. The wall in the yard was a full two meters high, and it was impossible for a normal human to stick their head out from behind.
"I'm so hungry." The eyes slowly moved and found them standing in the yard. "I'm so hungry. If you don't give me food, I'll have to find it myself."
"What should I do?" Lin Qiushi's mouth was dry.
Ruan Baijie said, "Let's go, ignore her and throw the body into the well first."
"Okay." Lin Qiushi agreed with Ruan Baijie, and together with Xiong Qi, they carried the body and headed towards the well. Ruan Baijie followed them all the way to the wellhead, even daring enough to glance inside.
"Throw it away." Ruan Baijie said.
Lin Qiushi and Xiong Qi let go at the same time, and the broken body slid down the well, but there was no sound of it hitting the ground for a long time.
However, although there was no sound of something landing, there was soon another sound inside... an unpleasant chewing sound.
"It's delicious." The woman outside the wall suddenly said, "It's delicious..."
Lin Qiushi breathed a sigh of relief.
The author has something to say: Lin Qiushi's approach was actually correct, so Ruan Baijie didn't stop him. If he had killed his teammates at will inside the gate, something serious would have happened... I really don't want to get up. I really want to lie in bed with my soft cat in my arms_(:з」∠)_
