C15 Walking carcass(1)

Bai Mu twirled the blade in his hand in a circle, and with a wave of his hand, the blade descended towards the rope that the child was holding.

"Roar! Roar!" The two old fellows didn't linger any longer and pounced towards Bai Mu.

Bai Mu was no longer a rookie at the start. Moreover, he was now able to display his sudden abilities with great dexterity. Picking up the little boy, he jumped out of the room.

Seeing that they had missed their target, the two of them roared furiously. However, they didn't attack Bai Mu. Instead, they picked up their blades and started touching them.

What kind of rhythm was this?

Looking at the strange movements of the two elders, Bai Mu's frown deepened.

The little boy, who had been pinched under his arm, seemed to realize that his big brother wouldn't hurt him. He raised his head with some difficulty and looked at Bai Mu's face, "Big Brother, let's go quickly. Grandpa and grandma have gone crazy. We won't be able to leave after they're done sharpening their knives."

You can't leave?

Bai Mu glanced at the child before nodding his head as he looked at the pair of husband and wife, who had been hating to tear him apart just a moment ago. They seemed to be a couple who didn't even exist.

"Little brat, I'll take you away. Don't cry for me anymore, otherwise …"

Ye Zichen glanced at the child with a threatening gaze. He thought that the child would nod obediently, but the child wiped his nose with his thumb, and said arrogantly, "Being here is better than that. Why should I cry?"

Eyebrows...

Bai Mu was speechless, but he didn't dare to stay there any longer. He didn't even look at the two men and jumped onto the roof. He then started running in the same direction.

As the wind blew past his ears, Bai Mu didn't stop even for a moment. He headed towards the Bian Tou Mountain that Mo Xin had mentioned.

Looking at the little kid with a face full of worship, Bai Mu laughed. "Little brat, don't tell me you're not afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

"No way. If you were a bad person, you wouldn't have risked your life to save me."

Danger?

Bai Mu found this funny. Although his current abilities weren't that high, it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with the two old fellows from before. However, this child was only seven or eight years old, yet he had the guts to place all his trust in a stranger.

Bai Mu didn't stop his footsteps, but looked at the child in his arms with great interest. However, that child said in a somewhat enjoyable tone, "Big brother, I didn't expect you to run so fast, it's like you're flying."

Bai Mu only smiled without saying a word. If nothing unexpected happened in this village, the entire village would be in such a miserable state.

"Big brother, are you thinking of leaving the village?"

"Otherwise?" Bai Mu didn't even look at the child. Instead, he pondered why he hadn't left the village after running for so long.

"Don't waste your energy, as long as you enter this village you will not be able to leave."

Hearing the child's slightly stinky voice, Bai Mu abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"You can't leave the village?!"

"That's right. Back then, my parents and the people in this village also tried to go out and failed."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Bai Mu stared speechlessly at the brat before him.

"You didn't ask earlier either! Besides, it's good to experience the feeling of the wind! "

"…"

Bai Mu placed the child on the ground and bent his body slightly. "Little child, what's your name?"

The little boy glanced at Bai Mu and reluctantly replied, "Goudan'er!"

"Pfft!" Bai Mu almost burst out in laughter. Was this child too funny?

"What are you laughing at, my grandma said to be named Goudan'er for easy maintenance." Goudan'er saw Bai Mu's smile and returned unhappily. However, when he mentioned his grandparents, his eyes darkened.

Bai Mu also noticed the change in Goudan'er's mood. He squatted down and asked, "Goudan'er, why are your grandparents doing this? Why would she want to confront you with a kitchen knife? "

"It's fine, you don't need to say some euphemistic words just because I'm a kid. I don't understand even if you're too euphemistic. If you want to know about these weird things, I can tell you."

Bai Mu instantly felt a few black lines streak across his forehead. What kind of feeling was this?

"Speaking of which, are all the children these days so precocious?"

Who knew that Goudan'er would roll his eyes at Bai Mu again and then find a protruding stone to sit on. Then, as if recalling a memory, he said, "A month ago, my parents, who were working outside, suddenly came back from the city. Not only them, but all the other young people, or even the children in the family, have also returned. I am naturally very happy for my parents who have not come back for a few years. "

Goudan'er said. His eyes were filled with sadness that did not belong to a child. "However, my parents were clearly unhappy. One day I heard them talking in the house, and they said they didn't know why they had come back to the village.

Only after that did they return to their normal state. They might have thought that since they had returned, they might as well stay at home for a few days before going back to work in the city. However, what happened afterwards was no longer within our control. First, it was my grandparents and the rest of them starting to sleepwalk, sharpening their knives next to the pigsty in the backyard in the middle of the night.

In the beginning, they only sharpened the knives, but after grinding for an hour, they went back to sleep. Later, their behavior became even weirder, gradually sharpening the knives from night to day, and every day, besides eating, they sharpened the knives. Later I learned from my parents that it wasn't just our family, but the elders of other families also took out their own knives to grind.

Later on, there were a few youngsters who couldn't take it anymore and wanted to persuade their family's elders. Who would have thought that they would actually use a knife to kill their son? A kitchen knife directly slashed across his neck, killing him in one swift and ruthless move. And then, he used a knife and brought up their bones. "

Listening to Goudan'er's words, Bai Mu recalled the young man whose intestines had been chopped off from the old woman's house. It was as if his entire body had no bones.

At this time, Bai Mu couldn't help but think of the white, young, woman-like hands of the bearded old man in his fifties or sixties.

That old Daoist kept hinting at him not to enter the village. Did he know about this village?

His expression was as though he was used to seeing the world before he started talking about other people's matters, "Later on, some of the young people who came back from the outside could not tolerate the habits of the old man and decided to leave. However, when they wanted to leave, they found that they could not leave the village.

No matter what you do, you just walk around the village. My parents took me and I still can't get out. "

"Like us?" Bai Mu looked at Goudan'er. He had already guessed what would happen next, but when he saw that this child didn't seem to want to stop, he didn't interrupt him. Just what had this child experienced in this short month?

"Then one day, my grandpa and grandma started not knowing us and dragged dad out of bed. Then, I saw with my own eyes, like those people, my grandma and grandpa killed my dad, and my dad didn't even have the strength to resist." As Goudan'er spoke, his tears slid down his face once again. However, he extended his hand and wiped them clean. He was so stubborn that not a single tear flowed out.

"Grandfather and Grandmother worked together to pull out father's bones, then they chopped off his flesh and fed it to the pigs. While Grandmother and I were still sharpening our blades and not noticing us, Mom and I wanted to escape. Who knew that after Grandmother and Grandpa and I finished sharpening their blades, it was as though we were stuck halfway in place and couldn't move anymore.

After that, they tied us up with ropes and let us watch as Father and Grandmother chopped the meat into pieces day by day. After cutting off his father's flesh, it was his mother's turn. "Then it's me …"

"So, the reason you wanted me to leave just now was because after they finish sharpening their blades, we will be stopped?" Bai Mu waited for Goudan'er to finish his words before interrupting.

Goudan'er nodded. With reddened eyes, he said, "Other than me, how many other people from the twenty-eight households in this village are still alive?"

"Big brother, I knew from the very beginning that you are definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to escape from my grandfather's and grandmother's assassins, and even more so, you wouldn't have run so fast. Big brother, let's go and see if any of the people in the village are still alive.

Bai Mu glanced at the child. He was clearly only seven or eight years old, yet he could think so much about others. His heart was filled with worry for the safety of others.

Bai Mu reached out his hand to stroke Goudan'er's head, "Don't worry. If there are still living people in the village, I will help to save them." But big brother is also an ordinary person, I can't guarantee that I can get you out of the village. "

Seeing that Goudan'er's eyes had dimmed again, Bai Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry. As long as I can get out of here, I will leave you be."

Bai Mu stood up and glanced at the houses in the village. Although it was night time, in Bai Mu's eyes, it was like day, with no obstacles in his line of sight.

"Let's go. Lead the way, we'll go to the homes of the children."

Mohsin, I hope you are safe.

"Why go to a house with children?" Goudan'er raised his head and asked in a puzzled manner.

"As you said, the one who became abnormal in this village was the elderly, and almost all of the people killed were your parents, then your generation. Several days have passed, so the rest of the people in the village are basically children. And now we'd better go to the ones who have more children. "

"Alright, big brother, let's go quickly!" Goudan'er couldn't wait any longer after hearing Bai Mu's words. He quickly stood up and grabbed onto Bai Mu's sleeve as he prepared to leave.

"Alright, let's go." Bai Mu picked up Goudan'er and headed towards the nearest house that Goudan'er had pointed to.
