Chapter 35 Chapter 10 The Human Brain

We broke into several houses one after another, but we still didn't find anyone. How could there be no one in such a huge village? Could it be that there was no one in the village?However, during the day, I saw many villagers who disappeared without a trace. "Is there something going on in the village, so everyone went out?" Xinhong guessed. "How is this possible? What can make the whole village go out together, or in the middle of the night, and then throw us two outsiders here?" I said so, but there was no answer in my heart. "When we came out of the room just now, did we hear a strange sound?" Xinhong said while turning off the flashlight.

"I heard it, but I don't know what's going on?" I saw Xinhong turn off the flashlight and felt puzzled, so I asked, "Why did you turn off the flashlight?" "It can't be charged here, so don't use the flashlight if you can." Xinhong explained softly, "Let's go to the real clay sculpture first." In the village lanes, we walked slowly in the dark. Tonight, the moonlight shone faintly on every corner of Xishui Village, and the whole village seemed to be immersed in an unreal seabed.After walking for a while in the dark, we gradually got used to it. With the faint moonlight, we could barely see the surrounding environment clearly.With previous experience, we walked out of Xishui Village very quickly. When we passed the blue-black stone tablet at the entrance of the village, I subconsciously glanced at the stone tablet, and then looked at the silver moon that was about to be full in the sky, thinking thoughtfully. stopped.

Xinhong, who was walking in front of me, realized that I hadn't followed, so he turned around and asked softly, "Why didn't you leave?" "Xinhong, have you noticed that the yellow mark on this stele may refer to the moon in the sky?" Xinhong heard what I said, walked back, looked at the yellow mark on the stone tablet, and looked up at the moon in the sky.He was silent for a while, and then asked: "I don't think so, why do you ask that, did you find something?" "I'm not sure," I said, shaking my head, "I just think that the yellow mark really looks like the moon, and didn't Teacher Ye send a text message? It also appeared near Xishui Village, so I just feel more and more that this yellow mark may be the moon, but I don’t know why, they want to engrave this mark on various places in the village?"

Xinhong didn't answer me, but just stared blankly at the silver moon that was about to be full. Suddenly he turned his head and said, "Let's go to the real clay sculpture first." I followed Xinhong curiously, but I was thinking in my heart, why did Xinhong always want to go to see the real clay sculpture? Why couldn't he wait until daytime, why did he have to run there in the dark?I remembered my experience during the day, and looked at the surrounding trees vigilantly, why didn't they move?They are still chasing me today. Could it be that the trees in this place are not the dryad Yunyang anymore?I remember that the brocade in the ancient tomb said that there must be a necessary condition to grow into a tree spirit, Yunyang, but no matter what, I can't remember what that condition is.

The woods are not very quiet. From time to time, there are insect calls. Every time we pass by, we will make strange calls.Mosquitoes in the woods even bit people’s faces, so we had no choice but to endure these unbearable pains. Why was the peddler not bitten by mosquitoes at that time? His clothes were much more revealing than ours. "Shusha...Shusha..." There was a strange sound coming from behind, and I turned my head to look behind me vigilantly, but I couldn't see anything unusual.Xinhong noticed that I stopped again, so he urged me to continue on my way, not to stop and look around when I had nothing to do.

Suspiciously, Xinhong and I walked in the direction of Xiaoshishan. I don't know why Xinhong was so anxious to see the live-action clay sculpture again. Maybe Xinhong had already thought of something.However, he will never reveal a word to others, even to me, until he is really sure of his own thoughts.I have also seen that real clay sculpture, except that the real clay sculpture has not decayed after thousands of years, and there is nothing special about it. I just remember that there is a yellow mark on the real clay sculpture. "Shusha...Shusha..." The weird voice came from behind us again.

The woods are full of old fallen leaves, and when we walk on them, there will be a rustling sound.However, the sound we make when we walk is crisp and powerful, not like this weird sound.At first, I thought it was someone following me, but the more I listened to it, the more I felt that the sound didn't sound like a human walking.This voice is a bit muddy and procrastinated. Although this is not an appropriate description of the voice, this is exactly the characteristic of this voice. "Xinhong, did you hear it? There seems to be a strange sound behind us." I looked into the darkness, but couldn't see anything.

"I heard it too. It doesn't sound like a person walking, but this sound has been following us." "What time is it, turn on the flashlight and see what's behind!" After I finished speaking, I snatched the flashlight from Xinhong's hand and said, "Don't you want to use the flashlight until we are dead? " I stopped talking nonsense, and immediately turned on the flashlight, and a dazzling light shot out from it.Some birds, frogs, etc. were frightened and ran away quickly. Within the range of the light of the flashlight, a small red and black face appeared. Its ears were twitching, its whole body was lying on the ground, and its face was still smiling at us. .My hand shook involuntarily, and the flashlight fell to the ground. Xinhong looked at me with strange eyes, then bent down to pick up the flashlight, and then shone it into the distance.

"It's a baby! Who threw the baby into the woods?" Xinhong said and wanted to walk over. "Don't go there!" I grabbed Xinhong, and then dragged him to run forward crazily. Isn't that baby the one I saw in another Xishui village?At that time, the dryad Yunyang kept reminding me not to get close to that baby, and this baby did have a lot of evil spirits.In short, this baby is not a kind person.Thinking about it now, the baby must have been crawling behind us just now, no wonder the sound it made sounded so weird. "Why did you drag me away?" Xinhong broke free from my hand and said reproachfully, "Why didn't you pick up that baby, if a wild animal ran out of the woods, wouldn't he be dead?"

"You still have the nerve to say that I told you during the day that I have really been to a place called Xishui Village, and it is very strange! There is this strange baby in it, it is definitely not as simple as you think! " As I strode forward, I told Xinhong what I had encountered during the day. After he listened to me, he remained silent, without saying a word.After we left a certain distance and couldn't hear the strange sound, we slowed down.In fact, I don't know what's scary about that baby in my heart, but he just has a very evil aura, and it's always harmless to stay away from him.

According to my memory, the small stone mountain where the real clay sculptures are placed should be not far in front, but there is no light in front of it.I remember when I went there during the day, the young guard put a few candles and a flashlight on the table, why can't I see a trace of light now.Even if it is blown out by the wind, it can still be lit again, and if it cannot be lit, you can still use a flashlight.Could it be that my old memory has degenerated, and I can't even tell the direction, and I found the wrong place.Even so, with the help of the dim moonlight, I can still vaguely see a black object in front of me, which should be the small stone mountain where the clay sculptures of real people are placed. "There may be something strange in front. It is impossible for the guard to not light the candle or turn on the flashlight at such a late hour." Xinhong slowed down and said, "I think the guard is quite timid, there is no reason for him to guard Seeing a person who has been dead for a thousand years dare to sit on the rocky mountain with a black candle." I was also muttering repeatedly in my heart, I don’t know what is the trick. At this time, Xinhong turned on the flashlight vigilantly. In the light, we found a small milky white thing on the ground not far away.Curious, I walked over. The milky white thing seemed to be tofu, soft, and there was some heat coming out.I squatted down, poked the lump with my fingers, and then put my fingers in my mouth to suck it. A very fragrant but fishy taste immediately spread to the tongue buds.I wanted to taste it again, but I was pulled up by Xinhong behind me. "What do you eat indiscriminately, what if it is poisonous?" Xinhong said seriously. "What kind of poison could it be? I think it's quite delicious. Could it be the delicacy that the guard brought back from the county town?" I said while licking my fingers. Xinhong ignored my nonsense, he looked forward with the flashlight, but found that the ground was covered with blood everywhere.I was very surprised, and suddenly lost the mood to taste the milky white thing.We followed the blood trail nervously, and soon came to the side of Xiaoshishan.What was surprising was that the guard fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open, as if they were about to explode, and his face was covered with blood. Xinhong brought the flashlight close to the guard's head, unexpectedly found a big hole in the man's head, and the brain tissue inside flowed out and mixed together vaguely, but his brain was gone trace! I took a deep breath and didn't say a word. If I saw such a scene before going to Tianshan, I would scream in fright, but now I just feel scared and don't scream out of control. Maybe it's called growing up.I licked my lips, and then I remembered that what I ate just now could be... "Could it be that what you ate just now was..." Xinhong said in surprise, but his voice became smaller and smaller. I vomited nauseatedly. I felt my chest was tight and my stomach was twitching. What I tasted just now turned out to be the guard's brain!Xinhong hesitated for a moment, and took me, who was still vomiting, into Xiaoshishan. We carefully looked around with flashlights, but we were even more surprised to find that the real clay sculpture was gone!The yellow-black ground is full of fragments of clay sculptures of real people, but the people in the clay sculptures have disappeared.
