There's something wrong with this guy

Chapter 20
Her mind gradually went blank, she hurriedly ran off the floor and rushed down the stone steps, only to see that the mountainside was full of towering wooden stakes, with sharp blades standing at the top, blocking the way down the mountain.

"Wang Wang!"

The big black dog bit her trousers and went in the other direction, turning around the middle of the mountain, just walking through the thorn bushes and the steep slopes and rapids, and it took a long time to get to the bottom of the mountain.

Xi Huanyan stumbled to the new house on the edge of the village with her body out of strength. When she saw the lock on the door, her heart sank to the valley. She carefully wiped the dust off the lock, inserted the key into the rusted keyhole, and turned it.

Click.

With a long creaking sound, she entered the house.

The ignorant light enveloped her body. She stood quietly for a while to calm down the tiredness, and then silently washed the pot, brought half a bucket of water from the outside tank, poured it into it, and put it on the steaming rack.

The big black dog followed her step by step, just like when her father died, she followed her mother.

Xi Huanyan looked annoyed, moved the stool to remove the bacon hanging on the beam, cut off the hairy part, and threw it to it, took another piece of meat, washed, cut, and placed it on the steaming rack.

She lit dry firewood and stuffed it into the stove, and the gradually hot light reflected on her body, soothing her cold hands and feet.

The big black dog curled up at her feet, and one person and one dog were roasting fire in the house covered with a thin layer of ash.

Time was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, unable to make any waves, she added firewood calmly, and then sat there, watching all the firewood burn away little by little.

The footsteps outside the door broke the dead silence. One person gently touched the kitchen, and when he saw Xi Huanyan, he was relieved, and the sound of vitality and complaining completely crushed the space to pieces.

"Huanyan, you're back, I'm still wondering why the smoke is coming out of here!"

This is an uncle from the same village, and Xi Huanyan doesn't know him well, but that doesn't hinder him.

"When did you die, why didn't you tell me."

"Hey here." He scratched his head, as if thinking about how to speak.

"It's been a month and a half. That time, the village organized people to go into the mountains to eliminate demons. Most of the people died. Your mother and second uncle are both heroes in the village. The patriarch also sent people up the mountain to find you, but I heard that the mountainside was surrounded. Get up, they can't get in."

"Where's the corpse?"

"They were all burned at the bottom of Fengguo Cliff. It was dark, there were wild beasts, and it was going to rain. How could the few people who were alive bring out so many corpses and burn them together with the monsters."

Xi Huanyan stared silently at the ash in the stove, and the uncle from the same village stood bewildered for a while, then quietly left.

She got up and lifted the lid of the pot, took out the bacon, put it on the table, and ate it one bite at a time, then took a hot shower, sharpened the hatchet in the corner of the kitchen, and went out the door.

The wind of the mountain forest whistled in her ears, she ran faster and faster, plunged into the redwood forest, and rushed into the bottom of the cliff where the wind crossed the cliff.

After that day, it rained for a long time, the water in the cold pool overflowed, and the grass and trees seemed to be more fertile than before. It grew wildly to the calf, and even the long grass around the waist swayed in the breeze, dazzling people.

At the bottom of this empty cliff, her soul also seemed to be empty.

how could be?

Xi Huanyan felt at a loss about losing her parents within a year. She wandered around the cold pool over and over again, with nowhere to go and nothing to do.

click.

She removed her foot, and there was a bone under it.

Xi Huanyan squatted down slowly and pushed aside the grass next to her. Gradually, her speed became faster and faster. The one with the soil threw the long thatch aside. She tried her best to find the original corpse. The world is clear.

The method of disposing of corpses in the village has always been to burn or bury them.

When burning, it will be sprinkled with a layer of black phosphorus powder, so that it burns cleanly and directly turns into ashes.

When buried, a layer of sealed tobacco powder will be sprinkled. This powder is also called animal repellent powder, which can prevent wild animals from digging the soil.

At that time, it was probably too late. They chose to burn, but because of the rain, the burning was not thorough, leaving some corpses.

Xi Huanyan cleared the grass, and there were traces of two burning piles, one large and one small.

The big one, don't think about it, it must be the burning pile of strange demons. The charred and mutilated skeletons of the giant strange demons are still left on the ground. The small one is the burning pile of villagers, and there are still some bones left.

Xi Huanyan was not a fake, and didn't have the ability to restore the method of death through the blackened appearance, but she remembered that her mother had a pendant on her neck, and the pendant could not be burned.

She cleaned the incinerator, but didn't see the shadow of the pendant. She searched around again and again without giving up, but still found nothing.

Was taken?
Or not die here?

There are three ways to get out of the wind and cross the cliff, climbing the cliff, going back to the village around the mountain in the north, and going through the redwood forest from the south to get out of the mountain.

The first two can be ruled out. One has to climb, and the other has to detour. It is too troublesome, and they can only go back the same way.

Xi Huanyan imagined the situation at the time, predicted their path, and walked back slowly. She found a charred tree. Under the tree were some bones and charred rags, and there were dry and cracked beast excrement around.

The bones were scattered and there were no scorch marks. She remembered that her uncle in the same village said that the demon exorcism team encountered heavy rain after leaving the bottom of the cliff, so if this corpse belonged to the team at that time, it must have died on the way back, and the fire only burned it. After a bit of clothing, it was washed away by the heavy rain, cheapening the nearby beasts.

It is an hour and a half away from the village. Those people have just fought against the alien monsters, and they are still injured. Will they come out in the rain?

A word popped into Xi Huanyan's mind, Hunter's House.

She was young and her parents wouldn't let her go to far places. She didn't know the distribution of hunter houses, but she remembered that her father had said that as long as she was in the mountains, there would definitely be a hunter house within a kilometer radius.

Xi Huanyan suppressed her heavy emotions and looked at the big black dog. The black dog seemed to have received some information. He lowered his head and followed the road and led her back to the redwood forest to a hunter's house, but when he got here, it whimpered and whimpered. Come and go, like a headless fly.

At a glance, she felt strange.

The more than 20 sequoia trees around the hunter's house are drooping, and the slender leaves arranged like feathers are dry and yellow, which is the opposite of the gorgeous redwoods outside.

Xi Huanyan became suspicious, hugged the sides of the tree trunk with both hands, and pushed hard, feeling it loosen.

The roots of this tree are not deep and have been replanted!
There was no need for tools to deal with a tree that had been replanted, and she pulled it up with all her might.

There was nothing in the tree pit, and there was no odor. She dug deeper, but still found nothing.

Xi Huanyan was determined to pull up 21 trees, tossing and tossing for an evening and half night, but found nothing.

Exhausted, she pushed the hunter's house away, lit a candle, and the orange fire illuminated the house, giving her a little comfort. She curled up on the wooden bed with her eyes open, unable to sleep.

After a long time, she turned around and closed her eyes, thinking about everything from the day she met the demon to today, but she hasn't finished her memory yet, her eyelids seem to be stuck, and she can't open it, her thoughts are falling like a slippery slope. into darkness.

She fell asleep.

The big black dog also lay on the ground.
