Chapter 162 Chapter 162 Li Baili cautiously went to...
Li Baili walked forward cautiously, and found that the figure not far away was no longer moving forward, so she rushed over, rushed to the front of the figure, and took a closer look.
Li Baili discovered that this was not a person, but some crooked willow branches growing on a small mound of grave. Although the branches were green in color, they were slightly whitish.
The white color looked like the skin of a dead person, not like real white leaves. It was very strange. Moreover, most leaves were green. It was so white in such a dark place that it looked like white lanterns floating at first glance, which was even more strange.
The shadow of the willow branch fell on the stone and was slightly blown by the wind. It looked like a living person waving outside. The figure seen outside before was probably this one.
But he had walked for quite a while, and the stones here were not the same as those outside, so how could the shadows be the same? Moreover, this was underground, where did the wind come from?
Li Baili walked around the whitish little grave mound. She didn't feel any wind coming from somewhere, but the willow branches were still swaying gently. Li Baili reached out her hand, wanting to pinch the willow branches to test the situation.
Who knew that a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the corner not far away and suddenly crashed into him. He kicked the thing away, and the thing actually made a human groaning sound.
Li Baili looked carefully and found that it was a man who rushed out from somewhere hiding. He was holding his abdomen, the place where he was kicked just now. He lowered his head and frowned, crying in pain.
Li Baili stood in front of him with her hands in her pockets and asked, "Are you okay?"
He shook his head, frowned tightly, his face turned pale, and his lips were almost bloodless, but after struggling for a while, he still answered: "Not bad."
There was no fear on his face when he answered, just pain, so that his expression was a little distorted. His face was a bit similar to the description Li Baili had heard before.
But because he was so twisted, Li Baili didn't dare to recognize him, so Li Baili asked: "Why are you here?"
"I don't know what happened. Last night, I was walking and I fell here. I couldn't climb out and I couldn't shout to anyone. I had no choice but to stay here and find a place to rest." He rubbed the place where he was kicked and answered vaguely.
Li Baili tilted her head, looked at him carefully and asked, "So you stayed here last night?"
"Yes." The man replied with a sigh.
"Why didn't your family come to see you? Why aren't your friends around?" Li Baili asked in a somewhat puzzled tone.
"They didn't notice at all. It was quite dark at that time. Besides, they didn't come out alone with me and were in a hurry to go home. How could they care?" The person on the other side shook his head and answered with a look of despair.
Li Baili tentatively asked him what his name was, and he answered. Li Baili found that his name was the same as the person she was looking for this time, so she asked him where his family lived. He said that the address was the same as the one Li Baili went to today.
If he didn't lie, then why did his family say that he was taken away from home last night? Could it be that his family was confused by the black energy and lost their minds. After they slept at night, the black energy felt that there was no need to hide it, so it left and was seen by them?
Or maybe they didn't see it, but just felt it in a dream, thought they saw it, and told it as reality? After all, it is true that people are gone. With such an important matter in front of them, they probably can't care about anything else.
Li Baili thought for a moment and said to the person opposite: "Your family asked us to come out to look for you. Can you come with me?"
The man on the other side was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. It was obvious that he wanted to go home very much, but he hesitated and asked hesitantly: "Really? Are you really my family member and you came to see me?"
"It's absolutely true, how could I lie to you?" Li Baili answered without thinking.
The other party was shocked by his speed of answer, believed him, and said happily: "That's great, let's go home now! I've had enough of this hellhole!"
The man kept complaining, "It's dark, cold, damp, and spooky as if there are ghosts. There's actually a grave next to it. Most people can't sleep. The willow branches above are swaying and it hurts my eyes. I'm the only one who can't get out. I have to accept my fate and spend the night here."
"Let's go, let's go!" Li Baili waved her hand and urged him, "My friend is waiting for me outside, don't let him wait anxiously."
"Okay, I'll leave now." When he heard someone outside, he became even happier. He stopped complaining and quickened his pace and walked outside.
Li Baili suddenly noticed a strange sound behind her. She turned around and saw that the small grave mound had broken open. A dry and skinny corpse crawled out of it with green willow branches growing on its head.
No wonder that thing was green and white, it turned out there was a corpse underneath, so it was more normal for it to look so weird.
Li Baili blinked his eyes. The corpse had already seen him and rushed towards him, attacking him with its fangs and claws.
He kicked the corpse, and it shattered into pieces as it hit the stone and turned into a pile of debris with a bang. Only the willow branch that was not hit was still intact. It fell from mid-air and landed in the pile of debris. It immediately became listless, its color became even paler, and it no longer floated around, as if it had suddenly become quiet.
The sound here attracted the people walking in front.
As he walked away, he turned around and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet? What are you waiting for? Is it a ghost?"
He was very happy because he could go out. He laughed at his own joke and was laughing there.
Li Baili thought for a while, took out a bag, picked up the body parts and willow branches on the ground, put them in the bag, put the bag in place, and walked out carrying the bag.
After he walked out, he saw Li Hanshuang, who waved at him. He handed the bag to Li Hanshuang and said, "Maybe you can try the things I picked up in there to see if they can clear the black air in the soil. What if it works?"
Li Hanshuang took the bag, took a look at it, and nodded: "I'll pass it on."
The man who came out with Li Baili whispered in her ear: "Is this your friend? He looks scary. I just came out and I didn't recognize him. What a shock!"
"Let's go, let's go," Li Baili waved her hand and urged, "Your family is waiting for you to go home."
"Oh oh." The man nodded, and with the help of a group of people around him, he climbed out of the pit.
Back on the ground, Li Hanshuang handed the bag to Lao Cao and relayed Li Baili's words. Lao Cao blinked, a little incredulous, and then seemed to be thinking about something.
He thought for a while, put away the bag and said, "It would be great if it really works, but there is only this much in a bag, I am afraid it is not enough for our land."
"This cave is very deep. I haven't walked all the way through it," Li Baili heard him say, "Maybe there's more inside. If it's really useful, just go in and look for it. Or maybe the people inside have been alarmed and want to come out on their own.
You just need to stay here and make sure the things inside can't get out. This is also for your own safety. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Lao Cao thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the situation."
"Then let's go back." Li Baili nodded: "Let's go back and see the situation first."
Everyone left.
A group of people came to the edge of the field. Lao Cao dug a hole, poured some of the contents of the bag into the hole, buried the hole again, and stepped on it twice.
After a while, seeing that there was no strange movement inside, he dug up the pit, and suddenly things seemed to become a little normal, but he still couldn't be sure.
He took out the healthy seeds he had prepared earlier and threw them down, following a normal process, waiting for the results. He waited here, waving to the others and saying, "You should go home, go home, take a rest, don't stay here, too many people are not good for the seeds, just leave some people here, don't make any mistakes."
People dispersed.
Li Baili looked at the situation here and knew that the result would have to wait until the next day, so she said goodbye to him and left. He didn't mind and just waved and told them to come back tomorrow when they were free.
The next day, Li Baili and Li Hanshuang came over, and Lao Cao said to them happily: "The seeds have been planted! They didn't disappear! And the soil is much more fertile than before! The things we planted are much stronger!"
"It seems that the things in that package are really useful." Li Baili thought.
"I'll organize some people right now," Lao Cao said excitedly, clenching his fists. "Send some people to guard that hole and kill everything that comes out of it and turn it into fertilizer! Spring planting and autumn harvest are just around the corner!"
"Just in case," Li Baili said, "we'll go with you, so we won't do that again, okay?"
"Sure, sure! If you come with us, our safety is absolutely guaranteed. How could I disagree? But I don't know if we can defeat those things together. If we can't, I'm afraid we'll die. Sigh, why is it so hard to live?" Lao Cao smiled and agreed eagerly. Then he felt a little sad and sighed. The next moment he was fully revived and said, "Let's go now!"
As he spoke, he organized the people, counted the number of people, left some people beside the fields to watch over the seeds and the soil, and went up the mountain with Li Baili and Li Hanshuang.
They returned to the pit. They had been there many times before and had marked it in case anyone got lost or wanted to come back again.
It was not known whether it was too coincidental or too unfortunate, but a roar was heard from inside the cave, and a group of corpses crawled out. Li Baili and Li Hanshuang stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down at the corpses.
Lao Cao and others were standing nearby, looking nervous.
