Chapter 493 Weird People
A sudden heavy rain woke everyone up, and Gu Qinghan hurriedly took out the folded rain cloth from the bamboo basket he carried on his back.
Cooperating with Li Junyong, he got a few wooden sticks and set it up.
Except for those people who were sitting on the ground in the open air to rest, the officers and soldiers who were responsible for leading the way had set up marching tents.
Therefore, they did not show any sign of panic at this moment.
The sky seemed to have a hole in it, with raindrops hitting the tarpaulin with a crackling sound. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, and many torches were extinguished.
"It's raining too heavily." Luo Xiqing sat aside, stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops dripping from under the tarpaulin, and muttered.
This rain seemed to be the first time it had rained so heavily in all those days. Everyone had lost all sleepiness and kept their eyes open to watch the rain outside.
Gu Qinghan did not let the fire go out and kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings.
Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of one place and fixed their gaze on it.
"Everyone, shut up."
Not only did Gu Qinghan see it, but the officers and soldiers who were responsible for leading the way also saw it, picked up their weapons, and warned everyone.
For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn.
Li Junyong looked over there, his pupils dilated, and he swallowed.
I saw a slovenly man standing not far away. Normally, he seemed nothing special, but the strange thing was that the man had no eyeballs, and his body and head were covered with mud. It felt like he ran out of the mud, wandering around aimlessly like a wandering soul.
Someone in the crowd said, "I remember there seemed to be a grave nearby."
When they thought about the strange appearance of the person in front of them, the crowd suddenly went wild.
Several officers and soldiers had already surrounded them with weapons in hand.
"Oh my god, it's the middle of the night, can you please stop scaring me? I'm getting goose bumps all over my body."
All the villagers in Shangzhu Village, who had experienced strange things before, were no longer surprised by this kind of thing. Everyone picked up the protective amulet they carried with them - the rattan, and also took the rattan juice in the bottle and rubbed it on their bodies.
It was said to be a protective amulet, but the smell of the rattan juice in the bottle was also very pungent. Everyone in Shangzhu Village made retching sounds when they opened the bottle cork.
With their movements and that unique smell, it was impossible not to attract the attention of other villages.
"No, the people in your village are a little abnormal. Why do they smear shit on themselves?"
A man who was nearby pinched his nose with a distorted expression, and fanned his nose with his hand as if unintentionally, and said with disgust.
Upon hearing this, Ma Youcai immediately retorted, "What bullshit are you talking about. This is a special secret medicine made in our village, not shit! It can prevent all kinds of monsters and ghosts from getting close to you. Although the smell is not very pleasant, it is a good thing."
"What the hell? Ugh... Forget about the monsters and demons that don't dare to get close to us, I'm afraid even humans don't dare to get close to us."
"Tsk, believe it or not. It's best if you don't dare to get close. This area belongs to our village."
Deng Yan crossed his arms and glanced at the people from other villages who were hiding far away, not caring at all.
"Hey, uncle, can you sell me this secret medicine? I want to try it too!"
Zhu Haoyan asked Deng Yan.
"Ayan, what are you doing? Don't you think it was chaotic enough just now?" The middle-aged man at the side pulled the young man who had just stood up and reminded him.
These two people were the villagers who were just besieged by insects. They were from Zhongzhu Village.
"You're wishing. I've already told you this is a unique secret recipe. Of course it's very rare. I won't sell it to you no matter how much money you offer." Deng Yan shook his head and refused.
That's no joke. They don't know where their final destination will be, nor do they know what they will encounter along the way. They don't know if the things they brought are enough to reach their destination. Of course, they will save as much as possible, but they will also use them when necessary. As long as they reach their destination and plant the vines they brought, those ghosts will be afraid that they can't cope with it.
"Well, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it."
Zhu Haoyan felt a little regretful as his body was still itchy. He had originally wanted to give it a try, but others didn't accept it.
People in the surrounding villages didn't quite believe it and just covered their noses silently. Fortunately, it was raining outside, so even if the smell was strong, it was diluted a lot by the rain.
The people from Hsinchu Village just took a look and didn't care. The people in their village were some distance away from other villages and had no intention of getting involved in other people's affairs and leaving.
Gu Qinghan stared at the officers and soldiers, as well as the man standing still in the rain. Without eyes, he could only rely on his hearing, but it happened to be a rainy night.
A rainy night can cover up all sounds or traces.
"Second brother, do you think that person looks like a zombie? His skin color doesn't look right." Wang Shan leaned close to Liu Zhushan's ear and said.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense."
Liu Zhushan patted Wang Shan on the shoulder.
This is not something that can be said. Even if the people who saw it are stupid, they are not blind. They all know that the man looks very strange. He suddenly appeared in this rainy night and didn't say anything. He didn't say it openly because he didn't want to cause a disturbance.
However, things did not go as smoothly as they had imagined. The man who had pretended to be dead in their mouths rushed towards their camp, holding a severed arm in his mouth and started chewing it.
Several officers and soldiers who surrounded him from behind failed to surround him and were knocked to the ground. One of them had a broken arm and had fainted from the pain. Several officers and soldiers were injured to varying degrees.
The man let out a roaring sound, shook his head from side to side, and twitched his ears, as if trying to find someone's location.
Everyone present was startled, but everyone remained sensible and did not exclaim.
Everyone saw the person in front of them. There was a cut on his stomach, which was filled with mud and water. With the rain, the person's skin color and appearance were revealed a little. He was a man in his thirties, with purple skin and bloodstains on the exposed skin.
"Dead, dead person! This person can't have crawled out of the ground."
"He still bites people..."
Some people in the crowd began to whisper.
Gu Qinghan, Li Junyong and Feng Juesheng looked at each other but did not make a move. Suddenly, a man flew over from another direction and attacked the man's back. The guards on the other side all came forward.
The man raised his foot and kicked the other man on the back, then took a burning rattan stick thrown by another soldier and used it directly on the man.
Soon, flames suddenly appeared on the man's body.
"What kind of fire is this? It can't be put out even after the rain." someone asked in surprise.
