Feng Zhenniang looked at her sister-in-law, niece-in-law and others who were crying miserably, and couldn't help but cover her heart. Oh my God, are all the people in this village... gone?
It's no use for Zhang Dacui and Yu Lanhua to regret it now. Even when they told this matter back home, they just treated it as a joke. She still remembered jokingly telling her brothers from her natal family that she had to give up the family business and run away to save her life.
What did my brothers say? He also said with a smile that there were so many men in their prime in the village, and if one came, he would kill one, if two came, he would kill a pair.
Shuanzi said that these mobs were very cunning. They would sneak into the village and carry out massacres at night when everyone was resting. If he had not gotten up in the middle of the night to unlock the toilet, he himself would have become a victim of these mobs.
Young children were thrown to death, strangled, and cooked. The puppy next door to Yu Lanhua's house was thrown directly into the fire and roasted. The group of evil spirits actually waited until it was cooked before eating it.
The predecessors of the mob were also ordinary people. They knew the cellars and grain storage places in the people's homes, and they could touch them accurately. Even the young wives and children hiding in the cellars were not spared and were killed one after another.
Linjia Village and several surrounding villages are probably in great danger. It is unknown how many people can be as lucky as Shuanzi and escape from the butcher's knife.
"Shuanzi, Shuanzi! What's wrong with you?" Lu Hua wanted to ask about the situation in Zhaojiagou, as her parents' home was there. However, before she could get a chance to talk, Shuanzi closed his eyes and fainted.
San Liang and Zhao Qing carried him to the rain shelter to rest. Lin Rui looked at Shuanzi's dripping wet clothes and shouted, "San Liang, go get him some clothes from my bag. I don't know how he managed to survive this cold weather!"
Lin Zicheng and Lin Ziyang also nodded. They had been in the mountains for seven or eight days. They almost died of thirst a few days ago and almost froze to death in the next few days. Even those of them who had food and clothes found it so difficult to endure, not to mention Shuanzi who only had this set of summer clothes, which got wet and dried along the way.
It's still raining outside now. Shuanzi came here in the rain. It's a blessing that he didn't get eaten by tigers or wolves along the way.
Sanliang did as he was told, took out Lin Rui's clothes and placed them where Shuanzi was lying. He easily pulled Shuanzi's thin body up and unbuttoned his clothes with his other hand.
The people of Lin Chao were already thin and hungry due to the chaotic times. In addition, Shuanzi had been chasing them desperately these days and had not had any decent food to eat. Now they were skinny and their skin was hanging limply on their bodies, looking particularly terrifying.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a sin, what a sin!" Lin Pingmao looked in the direction of Shuanzi, his cloudy eyes filled with tears. He didn't know whether he felt sorry for the suffering Shuanzi had endured along the way, or was thinking about the villagers who had died in Linjia Village.
"Lin Rui, look at this..." Zhao Qing took two steps back in surprise, looking at Shuanzi's back in horror.
His attitude successfully aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all came forward to check it out.
In order to make it easier for Lin Rui to see, San Liang directly turned the plug to face him. Even Lin Rui couldn't help but gasp, because there were leeches of all sizes stuck on the back of the plug!
Because these leeches sucked enough blood, they grew very fat, with yellow and black stripes running across their fat bodies.
The entire back, from the neck to the waist, is densely packed with these leeches. Now that I haven't taken off my lower clothes yet, I guess there are leeches on my legs too.
Sanliang wanted to take off his clothes, but there were not only men outside, but also many women who were looking at him disgusted by the leeches. How...how could he take off his clothes?
Lin Rui simply asked Sanliang to take out his clothes and form a circle, and then he took off Shuanzi's pants.
Just as he guessed, there were many leeches on his legs. Perhaps Shuanzi was not destined to die, otherwise the excessive blood loss would be enough to make him faint in some corner of the mountain and then be eaten by carnivorous animals in the mountains.
"Hurry and bring the torch over!" Lin Pingmao asked his eldest son Lin Changtai to immediately pass the torch to Lin Rui and the others. In order to give them enough space to rescue, most of the people in Lin Rui's rain shelter were crowded in the small shack of Lin Changfa and Lin Changhe.
As an old farmer, Lin Pingmao is very familiar with the habits of leeches. He is most likely to be bitten by these leeches when he goes to the fields to plant rice and weed. They stick to your calves and suck your blood until their bodies become round. You can't just pull them out, as their mouthparts will remain in the skin and flesh, causing inflammation and swelling. In severe cases, the infection can lead to death.
To deal with leeches, one way is to pat the skin near the bite with your hands to shake them off by the vibration; the other way is to bake them with fire to evaporate the water vapor in their bodies and immediately leave the human body.
Considering that the leeches on Shuanzi's body are now too densely distributed, it is obviously inappropriate to swat them with hands. Even if there are only a few, he is unwilling to swat those slippery and soft leeches with one hand.
Therefore, the quickest way is to use fire to bake the leeches, so that they will flee on their own.
The leeches, roasted by the torch, curled up and fell off the bolt. Finally, they were collected together with leaves and there was a small handful of them.
Shuanzi's lips are now pale and he is in a coma, which is caused by excessive blood sucking caused by these things.
"Hurry, hurry, throw it away!" Zhao Qing was also disgusted with these soft-bodied creatures and kept asking San Liang to throw them away.
Lin Rui knew that leeches were also a kind of Chinese medicinal ingredient, but now he had no intention of turning waste into treasure and just wanted to throw it away.
Leeches and slugs are most afraid of salt. Originally, he wanted to ask Sanliang to sprinkle some salt on the food to kill them all, but then he thought that even salt for people would soon be scarce. If he did that, his mother would be the first one to find him and scold him for wasting things.
After removing the leeches from Shuanzi's body and changing him into dry clothes, Shuanzi still did not wake up and was still sleeping soundly.
When a person is trying to survive outside, it may sound light, but it will be very heavy for the person to actually put it into practice. There are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains. I guess you have to open one eye and close the other even when sleeping at night so that you can escape at any time.
Now that I have finally caught up with the main group, I must have a good sleep.
After making a fuss for most of the night, Lin Rui and the others were exhausted. After a quick wash, they lay down on the wooden bed to rest. Tonight was Uncle Changtai's night and Lin Ziming was on guard.
The two sisters-in-law, Chen Zhi and Chen Mei, were feeling grief-stricken and extremely guilty at this moment. When they left Linjia Village, they blamed Lin Rui, but now they blamed themselves!
She blamed herself for not believing Lin Rui's words and her father-in-law's decision. If she had been stricter when her father-in-law asked them to go home and tell him the news, her parents and brothers might have escaped. And she didn't know if her poor daughter and son-in-law were still alive!
