My Weird Life

  Chapter 561 Old and Weak, Black Dog, Red Mist (12)

  A piece of red mixed with a little bit of white mist wandering among the mountains in the sky.

  Under the numerous mountains, houses and buildings are lined up one after another, row upon row, in a well-arranged arrangement, forming a city.

  There are no people in this city.

  In front of the tavern on the corner of the street, bright wine flags were raised on bamboo poles. The door of the grain store opposite the wooden building was open, but the store was empty.

   On the street outside the grain store, there is a layer of rice grain.

  Several sacks containing half a bag of grain lay in the middle of the road.

  Whether it was the thin layer of rice grain or the burlap bag that still contained half a bag of grain, it was covered with mud and footprints.

  Someone lying on his back in the street,

  The man's eyes were open, and he had lost his breath forever.

On the quiet street, on the top floor of the wooden building opposite the grain store, a small head protruded from the window supported by wooden sticks. He quietly looked at the scattered rice grains and grain bags in front of the grain store. After a while, he looked away and looked at the red mist wandering among the mountains in the distance.

  The child with a small head looks back,

  Looking in the opposite direction to the mountains on the horizon—

  On the street as far as the eye can see,

  There are corpses lying all over the place.

   Some of the corpses had no heads, and the incisions on the necks were smooth and neat, and some of them looked superficially without any wounds.

spring is coming,

  The weather is getting warmer.

  Many of the corpses were swollen and much fatter than average.

  Unidentified green liquid poured out from their eyes, ears, mouths and noses,

  The stench of dead bodies wafted back and forth on the street.

  The wind can't blow away such a strong taste.

The young boy turned his head and looked at the attic behind him. More than a dozen old, weak, sick and disabled in ragged clothes gathered in the attic on this floor. There was a woman breastfeeding a child in her arms, an old man holding an oil lamp, and a blind old woman. Holding a cane.

at this time,

   Seeing the child turn back,

  These people all focused their attention on him.

  Even a blind old woman turned her head, and turned her empty eye sockets to a child who jumped from a high stool.

   "It's the same as yesterday.

  The food below the building is still there, and there is no one outside.

  There is still a red mist floating on Maoshan Mountain, I don’t know when it will disperse. "The child reported to the dozen or so people crowded in the attic in a childish voice.

  Everyone frowned when they heard his words.

   "The fog hasn't cleared, the fog hasn't cleared..."

   "There is no food left..."

   "The milk is about to run out, if this continues, my doll will be lost!"

   "I can't keep it alive, don't you see where it is now? That doll of yours, I can't keep it alive..."

  People's arguments are weak.

  After they discussed a few words with each other, the woman who was breastfeeding the baby began to cry softly while holding the baby.

  Her cry woke up the child in her arms,

  The child was also crying weakly.

  Among the crowd, the tallest old man looked around at the miserable faces of the people around him, sighed, and waved to the child at the window: "Come here, Hu'er."

  The childish boy ran to him obediently and was held in his arms.

He looked at the slightly shiny floor in front of him in the dark, and continued to say: "It's definitely not good to continue hiding here, adults and children have nothing to eat, so it won't last for a few days, until we don't even run downstairs If you find the strength to eat, you can only eat each other's flesh—

   In the end, they all have to die.

  So, we have to go down.

  Go down and fight for survival. "

   "Yes, we have to go down and fight for survival.

   You will die if you huddle here - if you fall asleep every day, you may not be able to wake up the next day. We are such a big caravan, and now there are only a dozen of us, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled...

  My son, he died while dreaming. "The slightly fatter old woman wiped her eyes and said.

   Several people nodded in agreement.

  The younger woman curled up next to the blind old woman, tremblingly said: "I, I dare not go down, San'er is right below..."

   "He is a corpse, what are you afraid of?" The old woman gave the young woman a hard look.

  The young woman pursed her lips and said nothing more.

in this way,

  After discussion by more than a dozen people, they finally decided to leave the attic where they stayed for nearly half a month, leave this place, and go outside to find a way out.

  The tall old man carries a sack on his back and entrusts his grandson to the care of the old woman.

  He went first,

  First down the stairs.

   Arrived on the second floor,

   Several corpses were piled up on the stairs on the second floor, and a strong corpse smell emanated from the corpses.

  These corpses are like those that young children see outside,

   Some corpses have lost their heads, and the neck incision is smooth and neat;

  Some are intact, with no visible wounds on the surface.

   "I'm sorry..."

   The old man muttered, picked up the shovel in his hand, and lifted up several corpses piled up at the top of the stairs. A layer of dark red, putrid corpse water dripped on the wooden floor.

  He stepped on the floor where the corpses were flowing with a shovel, leaving a string of footprints on the floor.

   More than a dozen old and weak women and children followed behind.

  On the spacious floor of the second floor, seven or eight corpses were piled up, all of whom were familiar faces. The dozen or so living people present could call out the name of each corpse.

  The young woman looked at the young man sitting in the corner, who seemed to be asleep, her eyes were red, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

  The whole wooden building has an extremely strong smell of corpses,

   She sniffed the scent, feeling a little sad in her heart, but more of it was fear.

Therefore, his eyes only stayed slightly on the corpse of the young man sitting in the corner, and when he saw the dark green liquid dripping from the corner of the mouth of the corpse, his sadness completely turned into fear. The young woman hurriedly followed the team, Walked away from here.

  On the first floor of the wooden building, there are more corpses.

  There are corpses piled all over the ground.

  The shovel in the old man’s hand could no longer clear a path for the people behind him,

  He could only step on the backs and abdomens of those corpses, and walk towards the locked gate of the wooden building.

  Every time everyone stepped on a dead body,

  The corpses would open their mouths slightly, and a rancid liquid would flow out of their mouths.

  Some corpses sprayed out from the mouths of the corpses, and because they were facing the floor, the corpses dripped on the floor—some corpses were lying face up, so some of the sprayed liquid splashed on everyone,

   It caused people to scream and cry from time to time.

  The old man stood at the door and slapped the two doors vigorously with a shovel. The door panels were smashed by him.

  The outside skylight floods into this dark wooden building,

  A stronger smell of corpses poured in from outside the door.

  The inside of the wooden building is like a purgatory, but the outside of the wooden building is not clean, it is a bigger purgatory.

   Bang!

  There were more and more crying and urging sounds from the people behind him, and the frequency of the old man's slapping on the wooden doors increased. Finally, when he swung the shovel down for the last time, the hinges of the two wooden doors broke—

  The dilapidated wooden door collapsed straight out.

  The old man stood at the door, looking at the skylight pouring in from outside the door, he hesitated for a while.

currently,

  The people behind them all stopped urging,

   all hesitated.

  The nightmare-like experience once weighed on everyone's heart, so they were full of fear of the world outside the house. If there was no fear in their hearts, why would more than ten people huddle in the attic and refuse to go out for more than ten days?

   "I'll go first."

  The old man said to the crowd behind him.

  His eyes fell on the young boy who was led by the old woman, he grinned at his grandson, and then looked at the old woman: "If I'm gone..."

   "He is my own grandson!" The old woman said, "If I die, I have to find a way out for him!"

  The old man nodded.

  He held the shovel, turned around,

   Finally stepped out of the wooden building.

   went to the street.

  People in the wooden building gathered at the door, paying attention to the old man's every move with full concentration and without daring to take a breath.

Watching the old man gather up the scattered grain on the street, put the rice grains into the ragged bag he was carrying, watch the old man gather up the rice in several sackcloth pockets, and put a full bag of grain in the grain bag. On the cart next to the store—

"never mind!"

   "Can walk!"

  The people shouted with joy,

   They all rushed out of the door, squeezing the old woman who was guarding the door to the ground.

  She hurriedly held the child in her arms and struggled to stand up.

  The old and weak women and children who rushed out of the wooden building shouted for joy on the street, and gathered around the first old man who walked out the door.

  The old woman took the child's arm,

   also walked towards the tall old man.

   jingle jingle jingle jingle...

  At this time, a bell sounded from a distance.

  The joyful people followed the sound of the bells and looked towards the street entrance not far away—a black dog with a collar around its neck and a bell on it ran out from the side of the intersection.

   As soon as it turned its head, it saw more than ten people gathered on this street.

"dog?"

"Meat!"

  The dozen or so people who had just walked out of the wooden building were stunned when they saw the black dog running on the street. Afterwards, the expressions of joy on their faces became even stronger.

   Someone whistled at the black dog,

  Trying to lure the black dog closer.

  The black dog stands at the crossroads,

  Looking at the dozen or so old and weak women and children,

   Turned his head and looked behind him again.

  Under the eyes of everyone, the dog's face clearly showed a deep sorrow, and it let out a low, old sigh: "Hey...

   One drink and one peck, is it destiny? "

  When the old voice sounded, more than a dozen people who walked out of the wooden building felt that they were hallucinating.

   Everyone looked at each other in dismay!

   At this moment—

  Under the eyes of the crowd,

  The head of the black dog detached from the neck without a sound,

   slipped from the smooth cut neck,

   A stream of blood spattered from the neck cavity!

  A series of golden and red talismans floated out from the fallen black dog's corpse, and gathered in mid-air into a vague human figure. The human figure turned to look at the crowd and said, "Close your eyes!"

next moment,

   The fuzzy human form composed of talismans was also cut into two sections,

   Dissipated in the wind.

  The words and phrases he left before being cut into two paragraphs seemed to carry some kind of inexplicable power, which made more than a dozen people on the street close their eyes involuntarily!

   A chill passed through everyone's body.

  It seemed that something flooded them and went in another direction.

   After a few breaths,

   People open their eyes.

  Right now, everything seems to be business as usual.

  At the intersection of the cross street, a black dog with two parts of its head fell down.

  Among them all,

  The young woman stood upright in place.

   Eyes wide open.

  —For some unknown reason, she opened her eyes ahead of time, and she died without knowing what she saw.

  All the people surrounding the young woman dispersed with a whoosh.

  The child led by the old woman looked up at the mountains at the end of the city—the red mist floating on the mountains drifted down at some point, rolling at the end of the street that the child was facing.

   "The fog is coming."

  He said so.

   "The fog is coming?!"

  Everyone's face was horrified.

  The tumbling red mist at the end of the street slowly rolled out,

   A gust of wind blows,

  The red mist covered the whole street,

   drowned the crowd who had no time to escape.

  In the red mist, the sound of people gnawing on raw meat kept ringing.

  Where the red mist passes,

   shaped pin bone stand.

  All the people who had just escaped from the wooden building died in the wooden building.
