Chapter 36 Two-legged Sheep
Chapter 36 Two-legged Sheep
The carriage galloped all the way and soon arrived at the village on the route to Kesuo Town.
The entire village is not too big, but it is surrounded by various wooden protective fences, which enclose the village inside and out for two or three circles.
The three of them got off the carriage and looked around. The village was built by the stream. It looked like there were less than a dozen households, and it was built in the forest. The atmosphere was strange.
These houses are simple and ordinary thatched houses. Under the bright sunshine, the whole village feels like a paradise.
Olena led the carriage into the stable in the village and put a lot of hay for the two horses. Seeing the hay, the two horses lowered their heads and ate non-stop, as if they had been hungry for half a year.
The three of them patrolled around the village. There had been no movement since they entered the village, not to mention human figures, not even the sound of birds singing.
"Why is there no one here?"
"That's strange. It wasn't like this when we passed by here before."
Oleina walked in the small village and kept observing. The three of them walked all the way from the village gate into the village, but they didn't see a single person. The whole village seemed to be a deserted place, with only a few Kunkun and sheep in the poultry pen.
However, there was no food in their stone troughs. It seemed that no one had come to feed them for a long time. However, the red eyes of these family members were always staring at the three of them.
The outermost houses have been completely destroyed, with only broken walls remaining, and the whole village exudes an eerie atmosphere.
Shi Hui took the two of them around the entire village, her expression becoming even more suspicious. Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense that kicked in, she always felt that this place was the same as Silent Hill.
"Look, these doors and windows have been reinforced, and the windows are sealed shut. No light can get in at all. It's really weird."
"There are two possibilities. They are defending against attacks from certain creatures, or they are defending against the invasion of bandits or cultists."
After saying that, she came to the big wooden house in the center and pressed hard on the wooden door, but the entire wooden door did not move at all. She almost fell down instead. It was obvious that the inside had been reinforced.
And it is not just strong, it can be said to be an iron wall!
"Olena, go check the surroundings. Be careful and don't leave the village!"
"Okay Miss Hilde!"
After receiving the order, Olena took out her machete and left, while Shihui continued to observe the houses. She came to the dilapidated houses and started looting.
The wooden door on the ground attracted the attention of the people above. There were horrible scratches on it, and the entire wooden door was covered with them. It looked like it had been scratched by some wild animal.
"What kind of hair is this?"
Lime squatted down and took out a small handful of hair from the cracked wall. The hair was covered with so much blood that it stuck together.
She examined the hair carefully, then brought it to her nose and sniffed it.
In addition to the residual smell of blood, there was also a foul and rancid smell. She was not sure what kind of animal the smell was.
"Silver-white hair, silver-white... Brown bears and tigers can't be white, but if it's a white tiger, then it's possible..."
But how could there be a rare tiger like the white tiger in such a place? Shihui laughed at the thought.
After putting the hair into the bag, she came to the nearest wooden house. She took out the throwing knife hanging on her waist, inserted it into the gap of the wooden house door lock, and then kicked the handle of the throwing knife hard.
"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"
After kicking the door several times, Shihui finally broke the lock inside. After pushing the door open, there was only simple furniture, a wooden board and a hammer placed at the door. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"Is it really to defend against something?"
Anne beside her went into the house and started searching. After searching for a long time, she found nothing except farm tools and rotten leftovers. She returned to Shihui helplessly.
"Sister Hilde, there's nothing here. Maybe the villagers have already moved away. After all, this place is quite far from the nearest town."
On the way, Annie just listened to their conversation. Their first stop was the town of Keso, a well-known lake town, and this was the only way they could pass through.
Originally, the three of them planned to stay here for one night to give the two horses some time to catch their breath. Otherwise, if they didn't eat and rest, they would definitely foam at the mouth.
Anne, who had walked out the door, slowly retreated back into the house, tugging at the corner of Shime's clothes with a terrified tone.
"Sister...sister..."
"What's wrong?!"
Hearing Anne's frightened voice, Shihui quickly drew her gun and turned around, but when she saw the faint white mist rising outside the house, her heart tightened.
"Oh no! That guy Ole is still outside!"
Thinking of this, I rushed out of the house immediately. Sure enough, the white fog had covered the entire village, but fortunately it was not too thick. It was just a new fog and not so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
But the fog in this forest is not like that in the city. In the city, at least you can see the direction clearly, but the fog here will only get thicker.
"Open the Demonic Eye and take a look..."
Thinking of this, Lime activated the magic eye. After the skill was activated, the surrounding space turned into lines, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a sketch. The mist could not disturb her.
She turned around and saw Annie trying to come out of the house, and immediately stopped her.
"Annie, stay in the house!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Seeing the fog getting thicker and thicker, Shi Hui didn't care about disturbing any large wild animals and fired three shots into the sky.
Now she could only pray that Oulena would come to her following the sound of gunfire, and Oulena did not let her down. Less than a few minutes later, Oulena rushed out of the white fog and came to her.
Oleina gasped for breath and asked in panic, "What happened, Miss Hilde? It's foggy here, and the fog is getting thicker!"
Shihui patted her shoulder, walked her into the house, and reminded her: "Oulena, you take good care of Annie here, I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, Shihui went into the fog without looking back. No matter how thick the fog was, it had no effect on her. The most urgent thing was to find food. There was a water tank in the house, but no food. The three of them were already starving after running all the way.
If Oulena were to go looking for food, she would never come back. Now she can only rely on herself.
After climbing into the KunKun circle, Shihui grabbed the two male Kuns and twisted their necks hard, then she quickly climbed over the fence while grabbing the two Kuns and prepared to go back.
"Baa baa~~"
Suddenly, the sound from the sheep pen nearby was particularly strange. Shihui turned his head and saw that the three goats were standing on their two legs and jumping in front of the sheep pen like humans.
They kept bleating, and in the end, the sound became more and more like human speech, and those three pairs of scarlet eyes looked extremely strange under the vision of the magic eye.
! ! ! ! ! !
Soon Lime realized that they were not jumping around, but trying to jump out of the sheep pen!
Thinking of this, she returned without stopping. This short distance required almost all her strength.
The two people hiding in the house saw lime rushing out from the white mist, her face full of fear. She threw two chickens into the house, closed the door tightly, and nailed the wooden door with a wooden board and hammer.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dang-dang!”
After nailing three or four wooden boards in succession, she finally felt relieved. But just as she was about to take a breath, she heard the sound of sheep bleating coming from far away outside the house.
“Mee~! Mee~! Mee~!”
