Doomsday Reincarnation

Chapter 53: Unused kiln

The street in the distance was hidden in darkness. As the footsteps approached, Qin Yi saw a shadow separate from the darkness and became clearer.

It was a tall and familiar figure, with his right hand in his trousers pocket and his left hand holding something unknown, walking slowly at a slow pace.

It seems to be Gong Xiao, but Qin Yi did not dare to relax.

It wasn't until he walked about seven or eight meters away that Qin Yi saw that what he was holding in his hand turned out to be the head she used as a racket before - the white hair on the head was being held in his hand.

"Tsk, why are you so nervous?" Gong Xiao pulled out his hand in his trouser pocket and gestured to Qin Yi, "Although I'm a lot older, you won't be able to recognize me, right?"

Qin Yi really didn't know this person, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the fake even if he wanted to ask something.

She thought about it, retracted the knife, and asked, "Why did you suddenly disappear from the house before?"

Gong Xiao walked over and said, "You have to ask the ghost, but that ghost has allowed me to see some useful information for us."

The head in his hand swayed gently as he walked, and the mouth kept opening and closing.

Qin Yi wanted to ask if there was any information, but couldn't help but ask first: "Why are you holding this?"

Gong Xiao glanced down and threw it to the corner next to him, saying: "I saw it was running outside the town and was passed in, so I caught it. Wake up people, it's time to discuss it. Just a moment."

Qin Yi went to wake up Ma Wei first, but Ma Wei woke up in a daze, and when she saw Gong Xiao, she exclaimed, "Why are you here again?!"

With her yelling, Hu Lai didn't need Qin Yi to wake him up. He bounced off the ground and asked in a panic, "What's wrong? What happened?!"

After he finished speaking, he really came to his senses. As soon as he looked up, he saw Gong Xiao, followed by a look of shock and alertness.

This made Gong Xiao feel strange.

Qin Yi explained: "There was a wounded person who appeared here before, and disappeared after taking us to the wasteland outside the town."

"The wasteland over there?" Gong Xiao raised his eyebrows, showing a smile: "It's really interesting."

The four of them sat together, listening to Gong Xiao narrate what happened after he disappeared.

At that time, the room suddenly became dark, but in the blink of an eye it lit up again.

But in such a blink of an eye, all the furnishings in the room have changed, any modern things have disappeared without a trace, and everything has become the old things of the past, except for the one in his hand. flyer.

As soon as Gong Xiao turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man lying on the ground. The other party was wearing linen clothes common in ancient times, and although his hair was messy, it could be seen that it was long hair tied behind his head.

It's completely ancient costumes.

The man was skinny, with a thick layer of dry skin on his mouth, and lay dying on the ground, only the rolling eyes still represented that he still had breath.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside.

Gong Xiao walked to the door and saw the situation clearly.

Everyone outside was dressed in ancient costumes, and everyone looked very malnourished, so thin that they could be blown over by a gust of wind.

There were still many dying people sitting by the side of the road. Gong Xiao turned around and saw a dead body on the right side of the door where he was standing.

On the street, four men escorted an old woman to walk forward together, followed by a woman in her twenties who hugged the old woman's legs tightly and was dragged forward by them, leaving long traces on the ground.

She didn't care about her legs that were rubbed by the ground, and shouted hoarsely: "No, you can't do this! You can't kill people! Grandma... Grandma!"

A middle-aged woman walked out and stepped on the woman's arm.

She screamed in pain, and the hands holding the old woman could not help loosening.

The men paused and looked back at her.

One of the men sighed and said, "Xiaocao, don't be stubborn anymore, everyone has already said it, every household is like this, how can you make an exception when you arrive at your house?"

The woman called Xiaocao shouted loudly and was about to rush forward, but was hugged by the woman just now and dragged her tightly.

The men continued to walk forward with the old woman, and the old woman slowly turned her head and gave Xiao Cao a sad and hopeless look.

Gong Xiao subconsciously felt that he should follow, so he stepped behind them.

Those people didn't seem to see him, and no one looked at him.

He could see that the old man was escorted in the opposite direction from the town's mouth, and should be escorted out from the town's end.

As he walked, he read the introduction on the flyer, and then he understood that he had seen the drought two hundred years ago, and these people were about to send the old man to the death kiln.

However, just after he followed them through the dirt road outside the town, onto a path, and onto a wasteland, he saw a scene that even he couldn't watch calmly--

On that wasteland, there was a long chopping board made of stones and wooden boards, and on the chopping board were several sharp knives and utensils such as wooden basins.

The old man was escorted to this place, and his whole body kept shaking, and finally fainted. With the support of several men, she had to stand there even if she fainted.

The man who persuaded Xiaocao at first sighed, stepped forward and took a pig-killing knife and a wooden basin from the chopping board, then turned around and walked in front of the old man. The old man's heart, closed his eyes, roared and stabbed the knife out!

Blood spurted out instantly, spraying his head and face.

He didn't have time to wipe it, so he quickly picked up the wooden basin to collect the blood. The men supporting the old man on both sides also tacitly dumped the corpse forward, allowing the blood to flow into the basin better...

After that, the old man was put on the long chopping board, and was slowly cleaned up like a butcher cutting a pig.

The head was unacceptable, so it was cut off and thrown into the big pit at the back. The other flesh on the body was divided into many small pieces, and the bones and internal organs that were removed were put together and thrown into another larger one not far away. in the pit.

During the whole process of doing this, the men didn't exchange a word, and they were busy with expressionless faces, as if they were really just dealing with the carcass of an animal.

Gong Xiao slowly walked to the big pit behind them, glanced inside and almost vomited out.

There are at least a dozen **** heads! Each one belongs to an old man.

Look no further, there must be bones plucked from more than a dozen corpses in that bigger pit.

A rotten stench was disgusting, and perhaps disgusting to the living.

About two hours later, they carried a bucket full of human flesh and walked deep into the woods.

Gong Xiao immediately followed, and saw a lot of dry wood stacked in the woods, and there were traces of a fire not far away. The four men moved firewood together, set it on the previous fire, and lit the fire.

Then, the human flesh was skewered with a stick and roasted on the fire.

It didn't take long for a strange meat scent to penetrate everyone's nose, and even Gong Xiao could smell it clearly.

This scent is far superior to the scent of any animal meat, but Gong Xiao smells it, but only feels nauseated.

And the four men were very different from him, they stared at the meat and began to swallow.

After a while, one of the men licked his lips, picked up a piece of cooked meat that had just been roasted, and gnawed it.

Maybe it was because the old man's meat was too old, he bit hard for a while before tearing off a piece, chewing it completely regardless of the heat, and showing a satisfied expression.

When the other three saw this, they all ate...

After an unknown amount of time, all the meat in the bucket was roasted into pieces of cooked meat, and the four men packed up and left and returned to the town.

Before arriving in the town, Gong Xiao saw from a distance that many people were already waiting there.

When a few men walked over with cooked meat and a small bucket of blood, those people swarmed up, grabbed the meat like a treasure, and devoured it.

Gong Xiao resisted the nausea, turned around and left.

I don't know if it was because he had the idea of ​​leaving here, he turned around, and it was dark in front of him. When he saw it clearly, he had returned to the previous house.

The furnishings in the house tend to be modern, and while it looks slightly dated, it is clearly something modern.

He walked out of the house and didn't see anyone else. Thinking that it was closer to the town, he planned to go over first to see if anyone else was here.

As a result, I didn't see anyone, but I saw a head that wanted to leave the town.

He thought of those human heads thrown in the wasteland, but found that there was still a bit of rotten flesh on the head, feeling a little strange, so he grabbed it and walked to the other side to find someone.

"That's all that happened." Gong Xiao said calmly.

But the other three didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

After a while, Ma Wei asked incredulously: "So, the so-called death kiln was never used at all? The old people didn't starve to death, but were eaten by..."

"Obviously that's the case." Gong Xiao nodded, looked at the head that was thrown in the corner, and said slowly, "But there is something strange."

Qin Yi said solemnly, "That was 200 years ago, but the heads we found today are still rotting, and they could never have died 200 years ago."

Hu Lai asked: "Could it be that these descendants will still eat human flesh? These human heads were buried recently!"

"It's not like that." Gong Xiao said, "This head just rushed out of the town entrance again and again, more like those who were trapped in the town and couldn't get out."
