Chapter 3 Don't talk to me
The village is actually not big, with more than thirty thatched houses scattered scattered on the flat highlands surrounded by rivers and woods.
There are large woods surrounding the village.
A muddy river runs through it.
The path leading to the outside of the village is a dirt road. The villagers come and go every day and have long been trampled down to the ground without a single weed.
But since the red moon came...
On the solid road surface, weeds sprouted out of the ground and grew wildly, almost becoming a lawn.
Li Kui walked out of his house and walked to the east end of the village. His steps were very light, and he observed every small fenced courtyard as he walked.
Most of the houses I saw had their doors closed, and there was not a soul in sight.
The originally lively and peaceful small village became deathly silent.
"Brother Ergou!"
Suddenly, a pretty figure jumped out from the thorn and blocked the way.
"It's you again..."
Li Kui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the short-haired girl in front of him, with the sickle slung behind her back.
This short-haired girl was named Chou Nu in Li Ergou's memory.
Ugly slave, ugly slave, as the name suggests, his appearance is extremely ugly.
She was born with facial deformities and distorted facial features. Not only was she ugly, she was also stupid and unable to speak.
However, the red moon completely changed her.
The effect of this plastic surgery is comparable to reincarnation.
Moreover, her dull brain became smarter, eloquent, lively and cute.
But Li Kui knew very well that everything was an illusion!
Affected by the red moon, his brain has long been abnormal, and even looking at a pig feels pretty.
Li Kui said coldly: "Make way."
The ugly slave chuckled: "Brother Ergou, where are you going? Can I go with you?"
Li Kui: "Not good."
He stepped aside and walked past the ugly slave, walking faster and faster.
The ugly slave fell silent, watching Li Kui move away, his figure disappearing into the mist, and then chuckled.
Li Kui quickly walked to the entrance of the village.
There is a tree stump beside the road.
At this moment, on that pier, stood an old man with a white beard, his eyes closed, his arms raised, twisting and adjusting, as if he wanted to assume a certain posture.
Li Kui recognized the old man with a white beard and asked in a low voice: "Second uncle, what are you doing?"
The old man with the white beard opened his eyes and whispered: "Shh! Don't talk to me, I am a tree now."
After saying that, he continued to stand on the tree stump and pose, swaying from side to side, as if swaying in the wind.
"..."
Li Kui sighed and left quickly.
There is a large area of farmland not far from the east end of the village, right next to the river. All the villagers' harvest for the year comes from this fertile land.
Looking around, you can see a variety of crops planted in the crop fields, including pumpkins, cabbages, radishes, beans, peppers and other vegetables. You can also see cucumbers, watermelons, croissant and other fruits.
Crops from different seasons actually grow together, and they are all ripe and falling.
Li Kui walked to the pumpkin patch.
Between the broad pumpkin leaves, there is a giant pumpkin, more than one meter high and more than three meters long. It is lying across the field, which is particularly eye-catching.
This pumpkin weighs at least three hundred kilograms.
And there are hundreds of huge pumpkins like this in this field.
Not only pumpkins, but all other fruits and vegetables have changed, either huge or the flesh color is different.
For example, the giant round watermelon is more than one meter in diameter. After being cut, the flesh of the melon is green and the rind turns red, as if it is wearing clothes inside out.
Li Kui couldn't help but look up at the red moon hanging high in the sky, and sighed: "Awesome, it not only drives people crazy, but also mutates plants..."
In the past, they relied on the sky for food. The harvests were good and bad, and the villagers often went hungry.
Who would have thought that after the red moon appeared, everything would mutate, and endless food would be available at once.
However, not many villagers ate such rich ingredients.
Li Kui quickly picked half of the vegetables and fruits in the bamboo basket, and continued walking forward until he came to the river.
In the turbid river water, there are splashes from time to time.
On the shore, there are big fish stranded one after another, carp, silver carp, catfish, all big fish two or three meters long.
"The fish have also mutated."
The fish in the water grew rapidly and became extremely huge, but the river water did not change and was still as deep.
As a result, many big fish were trapped in the shallows as soon as they swam to the shore.
Li Kui took a look and found that carp and silver carp had too many spines and the fish couldn't be chewed. Catfish was easier to handle.
He dragged a big catfish ashore, knocked it unconscious with a stone, and then carried it into a bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket became extremely bulky.
Li Kui had thin arms and thin legs, so he would definitely not be able to carry it back. He could only drag it back on the ground, little by little.
I was exhausted after dragging all the way back home.
Li Kui rested for a while, walked to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, and prepared to throw away the third uncle's head.
But when the lid of the pot was opened, it was empty inside.
Third uncle's head disappeared.
Li Kui looked around and noticed a bloody handprint on the edge of the stove. After comparing it, it was smaller than his own hand.
He looked up at the small fenced courtyard next door, but did not see his third aunt.
But the third uncle's broken corpse, with his open chest, still lay in the small courtyard, reflecting the scarlet moonlight.
The horrific scene actually has a sense of beauty.
In the distance, there were bursts of giggles, and someone seemed very happy.
Li Kui remained silent.
Kill fish, wash vegetables, and light a fire to cook.
This time, he did not cook all the fish, but only cooked one or two kilograms. The remaining meat was marinated with coarse salt and stored.
Another hearty meal.
After the meal, I also ate a cucumber and a tomato.
After eating, he was exhausted, so he hid in the house, closed the cell door and windows, and then lay on the bed to rest.
As soon as you close your eyes and open them, a day passes.
Maybe.
There was no clock to tell the time, so Li Kui didn't know how long he slept, but he felt pretty good after getting up and was obviously not that tired.
Look down at your chest.
In the hexagonal container, some blue liquid accumulated at the bottom, shaking back and forth.
Li Kui smiled with satisfaction.
Then, he walked to the window, lifted the thick cloth and observed quietly, and then listened attentively to the other side next door.
“It’s quiet outside, very nice.”
Li Kui took out a large piece of fish, opened the door and went out, fetching water, cutting vegetables, and making a fire, all at ease.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps, very dull footsteps.
Li Kui quickly turned to look outside the door and saw a tall figure slowly passing by the door.
Li Ergou's memory was instantly activated.
In the whole village, there was only one person who was so tall and strong, and everyone called him Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang is very strong, has a bad temper, and likes to bully others.
Unfortunately, he has become a lingering shadow of Li Ergou's childhood.
