After passing through clumps of grass and heavy fog, Yun Xi and others finally arrived at the interior of Qingxi Village.

The clouds have cleared and the fog has dispersed, and the warm sunshine has fallen from the sky, dispelling the previous chill and making the view more vast and beautiful.

The phrase "pull away the clouds and see the light" could not be more appropriate at this moment.

"The mist created by the formation lingers on the outside, but there is none inside."

Qingtan explained.

Yun Xi looked forward. Behind the node where the clouds and mist dispersed, the grass became much shorter, and what followed were houses made of wood and tiles that were about to appear.

This village is not too small, with probably nearly a hundred buildings in front and behind it. However, these buildings look particularly dilapidated from a distance. They must have been in disrepair for a long time. The wood of the buildings has long been rotten after years of wind and rain. Even the original reddish-brown primary color has turned into black.

Surrounding the village are short, simple wooden fences.

This place can vaguely see its original appearance.

Yun Xi stood on the same spot, which was located uphill from the village, but she could still smell the obvious stench, which was a disgusting odor mixed with various unpleasant odors.

The expressions on the three people's faces were subtle and ugly.

Qingtan turned around and looked at them and said: "This is what Qingxi Village looks like now. In the first two or three years, there were still people who were willing to come here to help. As time went by, they became tired. Over time, everyone gave up here. "

"I'm the only one in the village who can see and move normally, but I'm not tall, I'm not strong, and I don't have any money."

"I can't take care of so many people, and there are many people who can't bear to live like this."

"There are more corpses than living people in Qingxi Village now. It's full of corpse odor, dirty water, and garbage... Are you sure you want to go in?"

Xiao Lingyuan covered her mouth and nose: "There are still corpses, won't you help bury them?"

Qingtan opened his arms: "I am fifteen years old this year, but my development is not as good as that of a twelve or thirty-year-old child. Do you think I was able to help them bury them earlier?"

Xiao Lingyuan was immediately speechless.

Ye Nianhan grew up in a slum, and her ability to accept it was naturally better than that of Yun Xi and Xiao Lingyuan, but she still felt uncomfortable.

Even she couldn't help but say such a sentence in her heart.

Is this really where people live?

"I told you before, this place is worse than a slum. It's still too late for you to go back now."

Xiao Lingyuan and Ye Nianhan looked at Yun Xi at the same time. Yun Xi was the one who suggested coming here. Naturally, Yun Xi decided whether to leave or not.

"Nianhan, Xiao Yuan'er, you can leave first."

Yun Xi spoke slowly, intending to stay alone.

"no!"

The two flatly refused.

Xiao Lingyuan hugged her hand: "That's why I left Xiao Xi and left alone! I want to be with Xiao Xi all the time!"

Ye Nianhan quietly raised his hand: "I...I don't know how either."

Warmth like a hot spring flowed in her heart, and Yun Xi felt slightly moved.

Of course, if Xiao Lingyuan hadn't buried his head in her chest and kept rubbing it, she might have been even more moved.

Yun Xi stretched out her hand, lifted Xiao Lingyuan's collar and put her aside: "In this case, let's go over."

Xiao Lingyuan also rolled up his sleeves, looking as if he was ready to die.

Qingtan's eyes flashed slightly, and he wanted to persuade her, but finally gave up and just reminded: "Before entering the village, you'd better be mentally prepared. If you are scared, don't blame us."

"We have seen the photos and are mentally prepared."

"The reality is much scarier than the photos."

Qingtan left a word and walked towards the village.

Yun Xi and the others made their decision, so they naturally followed them without any further hesitation.

When walking down the long gentle slope,

After passing through the short fence, Yun Xi and the others truly realized how dilapidated the environment here was.

Before, they could only see houses from a distance, but now that they entered the village, they could see everything clearly.

There were several deep, narrow pits at the door of every house, and the pits exuded a suffocating stench. Yun Xi and the others tried to hold their heads high and not curiously explore what was in the pits.

In addition, there are many rounded wooden poles nearby. Clothes are hung on the wooden poles. The clothes are relatively clean, but there are many holes.

Occasionally, when the wind is strong, some old and dilapidated wooden walls will shake slightly and make a "squeaking" sound, making people wonder whether they will collapse in the next moment.

"Is this... really a place where people live?"

In the end, Ye Nianhan did not hide her inner words. She once thought that no one in the world would live worse than the beggars in the slums. When she saw them today, she realized her naivety.

There will never be a shortage of poor people in this world.

"There were hundreds of people in the village, and they were all under a so-called curse. This place where hundreds of blind men have been living for more than ten years, do you think it will be okay?"

The doors of every house here were closed tightly. Until Qingtan took them to the center of the village, they didn't see anyone. Instead, the smell around them was dozens of times stronger than before. Didn't smoke them out.

"Do you want... to wear a mask?"

Ye Nianhan asked.

Yun Xi and Xiao Lingyuan nodded repeatedly.

Ye Nianhan quickly took out four masks from the storage ring and put them on everyone.

The ring was given by Yun Xi, and the masks were prepared for them when Yun Xi and the others often went to the slums to visit the children in the orphanage in the past two years.

Qingtan did not take the mask from Ye Nianhan: "I don't need it, I'm used to it."

He walked to the stone in the center of the village, where an iron gong hung.

Qingtan picked up a stone and knocked it on the iron gong that had already changed its shape.

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

Three gongs sounded, and the echoes reverberated.

After a while, "creaking" sounds were heard one after another, and the doors of some wooden houses in the village were slowly pushed open, and rickety figures came out one after another.

The sun shines on these figures. This is not a photo. The people here are not wearing hooded cloaks.

The reality is much scarier than the photos.

Yun Xi and the others deeply understood this sentence at this moment.

Everyone who appeared was reduced to the height of a child, and each one was as skinny as a bone.

Dark green skin swept across their bodies. This dark green was not the bright dark green in the photos, but was extremely dull, like algae hidden under the bluestone.

There is no hair on the top of their heads, but uneven particles, and the pupils in the eye sockets are all white...

Even the way they walk is almost like crawling...

This is a real monster!

Yun Xi was extremely shocked, and suddenly understood the fear of those children, or the fear of the adults who had instilled fear in those children.

Because even she felt horrified when she saw this scene.

Isn't this a time-travel drama? Isn’t this the world of high martial arts?

Why do I feel like I have stepped into a horror novel?
