Chapter 142 The Hanged Dog
"Li Xiaoxiao, follow me. Others can stay alone if they want to die."
Now several children were panicking. They also saw that Ye Tingbai really didn't want to care about them, so they could only grit their teeth and follow them. Ye Tingbai opened the door, and there were more hungry ghosts outside than he had ever seen during the day. There were even more, at least thirty at a rough count, and those he had killed during the day were actually reborn.
This really gave Ye Tingbai a headache. Fortunately, these hungry ghosts were real trash, and the protagonist could cut one off with one knife. However, the mouths of these monsters were still sharp, and a bite would hurt his heart.
Ye Tingbai kept protecting Li Xiaoxiao, but was bitten on the shoulder again.
He retreated while cutting, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village, where the dog lady was standing at the door with a sinister look, and Togo squatted obediently beside her. When he saw the hungry ghost chasing him out, Togo screamed twice, "Hungry" The ghosts ran back to the village as if they were frightened.
When Gou Po saw the embarrassment of several people, she looked a little gloating, and the wrinkles on her face were piled together. Togo barked twice more, and Gou Po looked down and touched its head, as if communicating. Same.
Then she said to several people.
"I'm not telling you not to go out. Come on, go back to bed, the meal is ready."
Gou Po is very strange. The professor's book contains a detailed description of Gou Po. Generally speaking, no one is allowed to leave the village in this kind of village. This is the life of lower class people.
But there will always be problems in this closed life, so only one person in each village knows the existence of the city and can contact it.
Normally, this person would be the village chief, but I don’t know why this village is called Gou Po. It takes three or four hours to drive to Yangcheng from Huanghun Town. You can imagine how long it takes to walk, so Gou Po I kept a lot of dogs specifically for pulling carts.
Medicines, broken promises and other life-sustaining supplies all require Gou Po to go to the city to collect or purchase them. In this regard, the world government is quite humane to the lower class people, and the basic daily necessities are enough. In other words, these If you sit and eat every day waiting to die, the world government can also feed you until you die.
But a person like Gou Po, who is in charge of daily necessities, should be extremely popular, but for some reason she lives alone at the entrance of the village.
It is certain that Gou Po is not a human being. She never enters the village and only appears at night, guarding the village entrance. The ghosts who appear at night seem to have a certain degree of humanity, which is completely different from the hungry ghosts during the day.
This time Gou Po still prepared a table of food for them, and the attraction still existed. The four primary school students enjoyed the food and completely forgot about the way they retched on the roadside in the morning.
Ye Tingbai saw that this bitch still had some humanity left, so he wanted to communicate, so he asked.
"Mother-in-law, did you go out last night?"
Gou Po nodded and looked at Ye Tingbai with cloudy eyes.
"I'll dig some meat for you!"
Ye Tingbai glanced at the pieces of meat on the table and felt his stomach churning, but he still suppressed his nausea and asked.
"Then how can we get out of here?"
As soon as this question was asked, Granny Gou stopped talking. But the way it looks now, it doesn't look like Granny Gou is embarrassing them. According to the old professor's work diary, Granny Gou seems more like looking at these hungry ghosts. of.
At night, several people fell asleep again. Gou Po still went out at midnight. This time Ye Tingbai didn't rest. After all, he slept all day during the day. He quietly walked into the yard and looked at the door. The lock, locked from the outside, was by no means in the state of decay they had seen during the day.
In this village, not only the ghosts, but also the buildings have two states.
There was a small shed next to the kennel. They had looked at it during the day and it was empty. But now Ye Tingbai wanted to look at it again. He tried his best to calm down his emotions and cut open the shed with the watermelon knife in his hand. Open the firewood door.
A strong putrid smell came out, but it was different from what he imagined. There were not only human corpses inside, but also the corpses of thirteen dogs. The man was hanged on the beam with a red rope, and the flesh on his body was It had long since rotted and smelled, and was beyond recognition, but looking at the clothes, it was probably a bitch.
The other thirteen bloody dog corpses had been skinned and deboned, and the remaining flesh and blood had just rotted away. They had been left there for no more than a week.
Ye Tingbai suddenly thought of the group of huskies. He remembered Lan Baibai saying that those dogs told her that they were dead. When he first saw them, they seemed to be jumping out of the cemetery, and how many times they tried their best to stop them. People enter the village.
What is going on here?
Sub-personality: "Turn around, there's a ghost."
Although the sub-personality had warned him in advance, he was still startled. As soon as he turned around, there were more than thirty people standing behind him.
Everyone was in ragged clothes and looked decadent. He also saw the man who stabbed his eye socket with a knife. He stood angrily among the ghosts and stared at Ye Tingbai with his last eye.
The leader turned out to be an old lady who looked exactly like Dog Po, except that she had no dark spots on her face, and her dress and temperament were very different.
"Young man, help us!"
Ye Tingbai: "How can I help?"
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew the wooden door apart, and the dog lady stood at the door with thirteen dogs, her face ferocious, and she yelled in her hoarse voice.
"Go back and pretend I don't exist?"
The hungry ghosts disappeared in an instant, just as suddenly as they came, leaving only the dog woman and Ye Tingbai staring at each other. Ye Tingbai laughed awkwardly twice and turned back to the house. The dog woman didn't say a word, but came up and locked the shed again.
At about three o'clock in the morning, Ye Tingbai sneaked into the village again. He saw the dog woman guarding the entrance of the village. The dog woman also saw him, but at that time Ye Tingbai had already entered the village, and the dog woman couldn't do anything to him.
This village is really like what the old professor wrote, a hundred ghosts parade at night, and their clothes are probably the villagers here, which is completely different from the hungry ghosts in the daytime.
The woman who looks exactly like the dog woman appeared again. This time there was no dog woman to disturb her, and she also expressed her request. She wanted Ye Tingbai to bring the dog woman's bones into the village, so that the dog woman could enter the village and they could go out.
Ye Tingbai: "Everything can be discussed, but you have to tell me what happened?"
The woman who looks like the dog woman said.
"This is our fault. The dog woman you mentioned is my sister. I am the village chief, but she has always been the one to go to Yangcheng to purchase some necessary supplies."
Ye Tingbai understood it immediately. A city manages the lower-class people nearby in a unified manner, but the two sisters look the same, and it is really hard to tell who is going to the city.
At that time, there were many people in the village, and the mountain roads were not easy to walk on. Yangcheng refused to send a car. Finally, the dogs raised by the dog woman came in handy. The dog woman made saddles for them, and they pulled the dog woman back and forth for dozens of miles, but the dogs were exhausted after this trip.
So the dog woman began to expand her Erha army, from the first two to the later thirteen, generation after generation, the dog woman started to pull goods at the age of 25, and this group of Erha also replaced four or five generations, and the life span of a dog is only more than ten years.
Because the dogs raised by the dog lady were too noisy, the villagers began to complain. The dog lady had no choice but to move out of the village and settle down at the entrance of the village. This was not a big deal, and the villagers lived in peace for decades until that year when there was a heavy rain, the mountain road collapsed, and all the crops were flooded.
