"boom!"

Lightning tore through the sky, torrential rain poured down, but there was silence in the brightly lit manor. Several lanterns under the gate swayed in the strong wind, and eventually fell to the ground unsupported.

The gate of the manor was open, and the servant in charge of the lamps was lying on the door. A lantern happened to be in his hand. With his eyes open, half of his body was under the eaves, and half of his body was exposed in the rain. The blood from his throat was gurgling. All over the place, within a short while, the lantern was dyed red and washed clean by the rain.

In the backyard, the neck of the last person standing was cut off, and he kicked him away. The man in black asked, "Is there still life left?"

"360 people, all of them are here." Another man in black replied.

"Get something?"

"got it."

"Walk."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and more blood was washed out from under the scattered corpses in the yard, and the pungent bloody smell was gradually washed away by the rain.

"Ahem." A slight cough came from under a woman, and then, a small hand slowly stretched out from under the woman's arm.

It was a child about three or four years old. The place where the woman fell was very close to the back door of the yard, with her back facing the massacres. Half of her body fell on the steps, curled up on the ground, just enough to cover the child firmly. Under the body, so he was lucky to escape the catastrophe.

The child struggled to crawl out from under the woman, but his strength was so weak that he could no longer move as soon as he poked his head out. He had to reach out and push the woman's arm, but there was no response. He blinked his eyes, as if Confused why his mother didn't get up and hug him like in the past.

After a long time, he regained some strength, twisted his body, and finally freed himself from under the woman. At this time, he was out of breath, and he raised his hand to push the woman's arm again, but he still couldn't respond. He was about to cry, but somehow he held back, wiped the rain and blood off his face, sat obediently beside the woman, and reached out to reach for the rattle that fell to the ground next to him.

The crisp "dong dong" sound of the rattle was covered by the sound of heavy rain, making it seem so insignificant.

The child played for a long time, but no one paid attention to him. He yawned and went back to the woman who hadn't moved.

The rain didn't abated, and his body hurt, so he still squeezed himself under the woman, snuggled into her arms, and slowly fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, the clouds were over and the rain was over, and the sun shone in the yard, revealing a mess.

The child came out of the woman's arms, his cheeks were abnormally red, obviously he had caught a cold, seeing that the woman was still not moving, he pushed her again, but there was still no response, he was a little aggrieved, leaned forward, and reached out to touch her woman's face.

After a night of heavy rain, the woman's fair skin began to swell a little, the wound on her neck was washed white by the rain, and her body was already stiff and cold to the touch.

The child was terrified. He put his arms around the woman's arm and tried to pull her up, but he was so weak that he couldn't pull her up. On the ground, he fell down the stairs and bumped into the corpse of a gray-clothed servant before stopping, unable to get up for a long time.

He sat up with the arm of the gray-clothed servant, smiled apologetically at him, stood up and stumbled towards the house.

Not long after, he came out from the small side door, dragging a quilt with great difficulty in his hands. The quilt was too big, and more than half of it was dragged on the ground.

After spending a long time, the quilt was finally covered on the woman. The child sat in front of the woman, touched his empty stomach, and wanted to push her, but seemed to be concerned about her "illness", so he stood up and walked towards the kitchen .

After a while, he wobbled back with two steamed buns, sat next to the woman again, took a bite himself, then tore the other steamed bun into small pieces, and fed them into the woman's mouth.

Naturally women don't eat it, so he waited and saw that she still wouldn't eat it, so he put down the steamed bun, wanting to wait for her to wake up to eat, then took his own steamed bun and gnawed it aside, and cuddled up to the woman again after she was full , got into her arms, leaned over with difficulty, rubbed the top of her head against her palms, and then curled up contentedly and fell asleep.

On the mountain path, three ragged teenagers ran fast with their bodies bent.

The thinnest boy panted heavily, stopped and covered his stomach and begged, "No, I can't run anymore."

The two people in front stopped when they heard the words, and the tall and thin boy in the lead said, "Hurry up, Chuanzi, the two monkeys will catch up later, we can't eat and walk around."

Another fat man complained: "Chuanzi, you are the fault of the three of us, you can't run anymore, if you didn't want to steal Erhouzi's money, would we be chased to this wilderness?" ?”

Seeing that Chuanzi was about to quarrel with his blushing muscles, and the noise of searching for them was getting closer and closer, the thin and tall boy hurriedly stopped and said: "Okay, don't make noise, it's getting dark, quickly find a place to hide, at night We'll be safe."

The vegetation on this mountain is not dense, and the three boys who are not small can only keep changing places if they want to avoid being discovered.

Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, the three of them squatted behind a big rock and were sweating anxiously. The fat man couldn't help but punched Chuanzi with his elbow, "How much money did you steal from him? Why did you chase him for so long? do not give up?"

"Yeah, it's just a money bag." The skinny man was still panting heavily, wishing he could spread it on the ground, "I haven't opened it yet, so I'm being chased."

The fat man hated iron but steel, "Since you stole it alone, why did you drag us away? Isn't this harming us?"

"I didn't think so much..."

The tall and thin boy who had been observing the surroundings interrupted the conversation between the two, "They are coming, let's run to the east, hurry up!"

"But Boss, the east side is so empty, isn't it a free gift for us to go out..."

"So much nonsense, when did listening to the boss hurt us?" Before Chuanzi finished speaking, he was grabbed by the fat man and ran after the tall and thin boy.

"They're over there!"

"Come on!"

Sure enough, as soon as the three of them showed up, they were discovered by the pursuers. Not long after, more than a dozen people chased after them in a mighty manner, and the sound of footsteps behind them was endless.

With a flock of tails running straight two miles east, a valley appeared in front of him. The tall and thin boy rushed into it first, followed by the other two boys.

Seeing the three of them entered the valley, the group of people following them stopped in surprise.

"Are we still chasing after?"

"I want to go to you, this is the territory of the Chu family, I dare not enter."

"It's hard to explain when I go back now, why don't I stay here for two days?"

"Forget it, when did you hear that all the people who entered Chu's house have come out? Don't guard them all, go back."

How the people behind retreated, the three who had already entered the valley had no idea.

At the beginning of stepping into the valley, the scenery changed, and the three of them just felt as if they had entered a fairyland. There was a green medicine field in front of them, and they didn't know what to plant. The boy pulled, and the fat man almost jumped on him.

There is a fruit forest not far away, and now it is just March, and it is already full of fruits. Looking at the trees full of fruits that are bigger than a fist, even the tall and thin boy is full of determination, and he can't help swallowing.

The fat man jumped out immediately, raised his hand and grabbed two peaches, rubbed them on his body impatiently, bit them down, the juice stained his face, he mumbled while eating, "It's so sweet and fragrant!"

"Fatty Su!" Smelling the sweet fragrance of peaches in the air, the thin and tall boy swallowed, and finally couldn't hold back his kick on the fatty's ass, "Be careful! You don't know how you will die later."

"Good boss, am I okay? You want one too?" The fat man handed the peach to the tall and thin boy with a playful smile, and when he didn't pick it up, he handed it to Chuanzi again.

Chuanzi swallowed, and reached out to take it, but was glared at by the tall and thin boy, and immediately waved his hand, "No, I'm afraid it's poisonous, you forgot, the people who came here before have never gone out, maybe they just ate peaches. "

Fatty's face turned green when he heard it, and the sweet peach taste changed instantly, neither spit nor swallowed.

Seeing him like this, a smile flashed in the eyes of the thin and tall boy, and he slapped Chuanzi on the head, "Okay, don't scare him." He looked around with some doubts in his eyes, "There is a road ahead Way, let's go in."

The terrain in the valley was complicated, and there was a sense of bright willows and flowers. They followed the tall and thin boy around and turned around all the way. The two boys who had been running for a day and were exhausted were crying loudly.

"No, no, I can't walk anymore, but I'm so hungry." The fat man turned over and sat on the road, clutching his stomach.

Although Chuanzi didn't speak, the movement of slumping on the ground was no slower than that of Fatty.

The thin and tall boy was also quite tired. He stood and rested for a while, and said: "You guys rest here for a while, you can see the Chu Family Manor after turning the corner ahead, I will go there first, and come when you have rested."

The fat man waved his hand, indicating that he heard it.

After the thin and tall boy left, the fat man recalled, "Boss is so familiar with this place, has he been here before?"

Chuanzi was also taken aback, "I have been with the boss for several years, and I have never heard him say that he has any relationship with the Chu family."

The fat man stood up suddenly, "I don't know, but don't you think it's strange that I haven't found anyone after coming in for so long? Something must have happened, let's follow quickly."

The two stood up with support, and hurriedly chased in the direction of the thin and tall boy regardless of fatigue.

As the thin and tall boy said, when the path turns a corner, you will see a staircase with about a hundred steps, and then you will see a majestic manor.

The three climbed up the stairs with their arms, and were stunned by the scene in front of them.

I saw the gate of the manor was open, a servant was lying on the side of the door, and a servant was inside the door. The lanterns that were originally hanging on the door were scattered all over the ground and were smashed by the rain.

The thin and tall boy came to his senses first, walked around the corpse carefully, and walked towards the manor.

Passing through the door wall, one can see the mess everywhere, men and women in the courtyard, servants and maidservants lying all over the ground, it may have been a few days, the air is filled with a pungent rancid smell.

The thin and tall boy's hands trembled a little. He squatted down and looked at the corpses one by one. Because he had been soaked in rainwater, he had died for some time. The corpses were swollen and white, and it was difficult to identify them. He had to lean up and watch slowly. .

The other two teenagers didn't know what he was looking for. Although they were afraid, they also helped him clean up the corpses so that he could identify them. Fortunately, all he saw were young women. There were not many female corpses in the yard, so they were able to identify them fairly well. quick.

It was dusk when the few people entered the valley, and at this time the last ray of light in the sky had already fallen.

The fat man suggested: "Boss, it's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first, it's not too late to see tomorrow."

Although Chuanzi didn't say anything, he obviously meant the same thing in his heart.

"Okay, let's find a place to rest for the night first." The thin and tall boy stood up, and his face regained his composure, "Fatty, go find a candle."

The fat man immediately took out a candle from his arms and shook it, "Hey, I don't need to tell you, I've already prepared it." As soon as he lit it with a torch, he saw the two of them looking over, and hurriedly explained: "This is yesterday's candle." I touched it when I passed the sugar shop, but I didn’t get it here, this place is so evil, and there is no one alive, so I dare not run around.”

"It's fine if you don't." The tall and thin boy said, "Go to the back yard, there are vacant houses over there."

The fat man carefully protected the candle with one hand to avoid being blown by the wind. The three of them walked towards the backyard while paying attention not to step on the corpse.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, a gust of wind blew suddenly, the fat man didn't protect him for a while, and the candle suddenly went out.

"what--"

In the darkness, a scream sounded from Chuanzi's mouth, shaking the scalps of the other two numb.

The fat man hurriedly lit the candle again, and slapped Chuanzi on the head, "What's it called? It scared me to death! Didn't the candle go out? As for it? There are all dead people here, be careful not to call it alive."

"Ghost, there is a ghost!" Chuanzi was still in shock, pointing to the back door not far away, "I saw it, he was moving!"

When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly looked in the direction Chuanzi pointed, and gasped immediately.
