Chapter 74: Missing Liu Xiao Xi
It was mid-afternoon, and the villagers who had roamed the mountains in search of Meng Fan had gathered near the crack.
"This …… looks like a skinned monkey!"
"I can't imagine that there really are monsters inside the mountains!"
"That Meng Fan kid is still quite powerful, in my place I would have been paralyzed with fear!"
They spotted the rotting corpse that had been disemboweled by Meng Fan and gathered around in fear, their faces crawling with horror……. They hadn't thought that the stunning female ghost that had mesmerized the men would be so disgusting, horrifying, and discomfiting in its true form!
The thought that they actually did that kind of thing with such an unpleasant thing, their hearts are even more unsettled, some people vomited on the spot ……
The women even covered their eyes, their hearts beating violently, their feet retreating backward again and again.
Liu Xiaoxi accompanied Meng mother, through the gap in the crowd, looked at the dead rotting corpse, her eyebrows tightly wrinkled, her complexion revealed a touch of undisguised worry …… Noticing that Meng mother held her hand tightly, she softly consoled a few sentences, saying not to worry, in fact, her own heart has been panicked, itching to immediately rush into the crack and find Meng Fan out. ……
Meng Qingshan, on the other hand, was talking to the villagers, dancing with the sickle in his hand, pointing to the rotting corpse lying on the ground, and pointing to the crack, the emotion is extremely rare excitement, the appearance of collapse, the voice of the words are choked ……
The villagers persuaded, the mind is also chaotic, Liu Erxian is raised in the hands of the machete, looking straight at the crack, a look to rush in to kill some of the posture …… Sun village head in the side of the uneasy pacify, let everyone do not be agitated, things will not be too bad, to talk about it first, to set up a feasible search plan …… Meng Fan must be looking for, everyone's safety and security is also to be guaranteed ……
After an unofficial meeting, the unified plan was not formulated, but the villagers were divided into two factions, one faction advocated organizing a few physically strong people, into the crack to check out, maybe Meng Fan encountered some trouble inside …… Meng Qingshan, Liu Erxie, Zhang Chunkeng, and the vast majority of the people are on this side.
And the other faction has a very small number of people, led by the old king next door, advocating waiting outside, that crack is deep and cold, maybe there will be some ghosts inside, for the sake of everyone's safety, it is not easy to be too adventurous, at the very least, it is necessary to observe a day and a half of …… the starting point of this idea is also inexcusable.
Each has its own reasoning, Sun village head is difficult to decide for a moment, and under no choice, he found Zhang Maozi, wanting to ask her opinion, after all, for the ghosts and monsters, no one is more clear than her.
"You can go in and take a look."
Granny Zhang sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the Soul Determination Talisman affixed to Meng Fan's clothing, and couldn't take her eyes off of it……. At this time, the Soul Determination Talisman's radiance was very stable, unlike before when it dimmed after a while.
"Judging by Meng Fan's Soul Breath, he did experience a fight in the rift before, but now his Soul Breath is stable, which means that there's nothing dangerous, however, he's most likely trapped in a place of some sort, and can't get out for the time being, so it's necessary for you guys to go and look for it."
Her words were said to the Sun Village Chief and Meng Qingshan couple, and even more so to Liu Xiaoxi, she knew her granddaughter very well, don't look at her current appearance as somewhat calm, the more she acted calmly, the more it meant that she had some shocking ideas in her mind, and there was no guarantee that she would do something.
"It's good to be fine, it's good to be fine."
Listening to the words of the Zhang granny, the Sun village head was relieved in his heart, and immediately opened up a few people, formed a scouting squad, took a flashlight, and went …… to the crack, but did not go in for a few steps, and had to return!
The cold inside the crack was aggressive, like an ice cellar, and their bodies simply could not withstand it!
Even Meng Qingshan and Liu Erxie, although strong-willed, but hard to go inside a short way, it is frozen lips purple, can not hold out, had to return back, the face becomes more and more heavy.
Zhang saw that the environment of the crack was worse than expected, then took out some cold-repelling talismans and let the people stick them on their chests and then enter, this time it was really better, the cold-repelling talisman was very effective, as soon as it encountered the cold, it would automatically release a wave of warmth, and with a burst of energy, the team of explorers even went to the place where Meng Fan had killed the first carrion within the cracks.
Looking at the carrion within the crack, the crowd looked at each other and instantly understood one thing: there was not just one carrion!
Meng Qingshan was even more worried, tightly clutching his scythe, the back of his hand bursting with green veins, and Liu Erxie took the lead, continuing to go deeper and deeper, but the deeper they went, the more the Yin coldness became more and more overbearing, freezing through the bone marrow, making it difficult to move an inch, and the talisman had already lost much of its effect.
"You guys retreat back first, I'll walk forward again!"
Meng Qingshan gritted his teeth and moved his frozen legs, intending to continue marching, but was pulled back by the villagers.
"Brother Qingshan, I know you're worried about your son, but, but you can't put your own life on the line ah …… Think about Meng Fan, is he willing to let you do this?"
Under the villagers' forced obstruction, Meng Qingshan finally stopped his steps and glanced at the villagers who had followed along with him, all of them were not in good condition, their eyebrows, hair, and the tip of their noses …… were covered with white frost, they were freezing and shivering, their teeth clenched and gurgled, and between their breaths, they were bubbling with clumps of white mist… …
Coupled with their physical condition was not good, the front is dangerous and unknown, can not be for their own affairs, and let the villagers risk their lives, Meng Qingshan had to lead the people back again, looking at the cracks, stomping and cursing, but there is no way out ……
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaoxi tightly bite a lower lip, secretly glanced at the grandmother put the charm package, face surfaced a flash of determination ……
After all this fuss, the sky is already dark, Sun village chief see things do not help, intends to let some villagers return first, come back tomorrow to wait …… But most of those villagers have been benefited by Meng Fan, and reluctant to leave, and then the Sun village chief's repeated requests, only with disappointment back home; there are also some villagers say nothing, and let the strong stayed There were also some villagers who said nothing and stayed behind to build a fire, looking hopefully at the crack, hoping to see Meng Fan's figure come out of it soon.
Sun village chief presided over the situation in the night, and commissioned people to bring some food and distributed it one by one, and also arranged for people on night duty to monitor the crack at all times, in case something came out of the crack …… Everyone already knew that there was only one carrion undead inside.
The atmosphere is not too relaxed.
The flames of the fire jumped and beeped and booped, and Zhao Blind, who refused to leave, played the erhu again, and the tune of the erhu spread out as the flames stuttered and stuttered, and the time passed minute by minute ……
This long wait continued for two days, and did not wait for Meng Fan to come out, by the evening of the third day, many people had lost confidence and began to leave on their own ……
"No one can survive more than a day in that chilly environment."
The people who left were roughly of this mindset.
An accident happened at this time ……
"Have you all forgotten how good my boss has been to you? Now is the time when he needs us, you guys have the nerve to leave? And you, old Wang, your mother's egg, want to roll on early roll, I do not stop you, you damn don't chirp here, how many people were fooled by you to go away, you and my boss have a grudge is not it ……"
Liu two evil because of the villagers can not stop the departure, nested a belly fire, and see the old king did not do good things, the fire in the belly will ignite, waving a machete, to give the old king some color to see.
The old king was Liu two evil pointed at the nose scolding, the heart is very aggrieved, he did not have any bad ideas, said some of the words are out of good intentions, anyway, there are people to stay, can go back to some of the people is also good, late fall Well, the night is still very cold, some men's health is not optimistic ……
But was Liu two evil so a rebuke, he felt the flavor of the whole change, together with him is not good intentions …… So under the indignation, he and Liu two evil quarrel, the more quarrel the more difficult to hear, the old things are moved out, such as who borrowed who a few buckets of rice relying on not to return, who peeped at whose mother-in-law bathing in the river … … … and so on, and finally even started to fight!
For a time the scene was chaotic, the sound of fighting, the sound of persuasion, the sound of accusation …… was endless.
The haggard looking Sun Village Chief and Meng Qingshan rushed over to talk over the fight, and it took a while to stabilize the scene, but something even worse than that happened ……
In this chaos, Liu Xiaoxi disappeared!
Along with her, there was also a large number of talismans in Zhang's package, all kinds of ……
