Jiang Nuo was called out by him again, her expression unchanged, her eyebrows slightly raised, "No, you seem to be quite popular with the kids."
After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation, his smile lasting only a second.
Led by He Jiu, the group of guests arrived at the village chief's house in the village. A winding stream flowed right in front of the house, with lush vegetation and colorful flowers in full bloom, creating a picturesque scene.
Si Yan had just passed by this path when she sneezed several times in a row, covering her nose and burying her face in Jiang Nuo's shoulder, "The fragrance of the flowers here is too strong."
Not only him, but the other guests also felt that the fragrance of the flowers was too strong. Their nostrils were filled with the scent of pollen, and even their breath smelled of flowers.
He Jiu took out a few masks from her backpack and handed them to them, saying, "The village chief's family really likes flowers; I was overwhelmed by the smell when I first arrived."
Holy crap, this isn't just planting flowers in front of the house, it's like digging a house in the garden!
It feels like a dream, so dreamy!
Am I the only one wondering how many snakes, rats, insects, and ants live in this garden...? It doesn't feel very clean.
"Here you are! You've finally arrived!"
A nimble, lean old man ran out, and upon seeing the crowd, he was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together as he greeted them, "We've finally been waiting for you! I'm the village chief of Fragrant Water Village!"
Jiang Nuo quickly scanned the man; he had wounds of varying degrees on his arms and thighs, like cuts from a fight.
"Hello, village chief, my name is Jiang Nuo."
"Oh my! So you're Master Jiang! That young lady inside praised you to me for ages!"
The village chief grinned excitedly, greeted the other guests, invited them inside, and then sighed with emotion.
"Now that you're here, I can finally relax. Zombies are a menace, and with this little girl from out of town, this is the fourth one!"
"Could there really be zombies?"
Zhou Yize muttered to himself, walking closer to Jiang Nuo and asking, "Could it be some kind of wild animal? Aren't they said they only come out at night? Maybe the villagers are just too scared and have mistaken it for something else."
Jiang Nuo gave him a strange look. "Why do you think the whole village is blind?"
Zhou Yize: "... That's not what I meant."
Jiang Nuo patted him on the shoulder, "Give up the resistance, accept the facts, there really are ghosts, it's absolutely true."
As they were talking, the guests entered the room. Jiang Nuo pointed to the girl on the bed and asked, "Does she look like she's been bitten by a wild animal?"
Zhou Yize looked in the direction he was pointing, gasped, and took a few steps back.
The person on the bed is really terrifying.
The girl looked very young, but her face was sallow and ashen. Her head was tilted to one side, her lips were bluish, and the bite wound on her neck was black and festering. Her hands were placed flat on her chest, and her nails were extremely long.
It was almost identical to the zombies Zhou Yize remembered.
Oh my god, this is terrifying!! How did Shuishui get like this?!
Shuishui, I finally saw you!
The fans who had been waiting in the live stream room, too afraid to leave, finally saw the person and were all very excited.
" God Nuo!!!"
Jiang Nuo was startled before she could finish speaking and turned to look at the source of the sound.
She was a cute little girl, dressed in a pink beanie, pink shirt and pink pants; at first glance, she looked like a little pink dumpling.
"Hello, hello." Jiang Nuo recognized her. "Are you Glutinous Rice Ball Chicken?"
"It's me! My real name is Jiang Qianqian!"
Jiang Qianqian was overjoyed to finally see her idol, the one who had saved her life.
He then looked at Si Yan, who was still holding Jiang Nuo's hand tightly, and took a few deep breaths. He patted his chest and hopped over to the unconscious person on the bed.
" Shuishui! Jiang Nuo and Si Yan are real!! Wake up and see them..."
After Jiang Qianqian finished speaking, she froze and wiped away her tears. "Waaaaah, God Nuo, come quickly and come see Qianqian! She's been unconscious for a long time."
Si Yan also joined in, showing great concern for the CP fans.
" Corpse Qi has entered the body," he murmured, then looked up at Jiang Nuo, who was examining Shuishui's eyes, with a hint of doubt.
"Why did the Corpse Qi avoid her heart? Was it a coincidence?"
Jiang Nuo shook her head. "It doesn't seem like a coincidence. They said Shuishui was from this village. Does the village chief know anything about that?"
The village chief sighed and waved his hand, "Don't even mention it. She's pitiful. Her father was a corpse driver who died young, and her mother was a vicious old woman who was mentally unstable. She grew up on the charity of everyone in our village."
"He finally went off to study at university, and he insisted on coming back for the holidays, only to run into this."
As he spoke, he pulled a small object from the simple cabinet by the bedside. "These were placed here by the two masters who came yesterday. They said they could suppress the Corpse Qi in Shuishui's body."
Si Yan took it, examined it carefully, and frowned. "This is Corpse-Suppressing Plaque from the Dao Xuan Association, but..."
He flipped the plaques over; the back was cracked, as if someone had smashed them open. Both plaques were like that.
"This sign has been smashed and is no longer valid. Where are those two people?" Si Yan asked.
"Those two masters went out into the mountains, supposedly to scout ahead," the village chief replied, leaving the space beside the bed for the guests.
What a coincidence! I'm guessing the village chief has a problem!
I think the cracks on the back of this tile are quite obvious. Didn't the village chief notice anything wrong with it?
"Oh, well, maybe people just think that's the pattern... There's no evidence, so let's not jump to conclusions."
Jiang Nuo raised her hand to attract everyone's attention, "Don't you guys think her fingers are pointing to... four?"
He held up his hand and made a four as well.
Pu Sang: "The movements are similar, but her hands are too stiff; it's hard to capture the essence."
"Four..."
The village chief's wife, who had been silently watching from the doorway, suddenly reacted, slapping her thigh hard, "I knew it!"
She strode in, her voice trembling with emotion. "The first three! The first three people who were bitten to death by zombies last night, that's a number too!"
"Ah!" Jiang Qianqian suddenly screamed, clutching her head in terror. "But... but Shuishui isn't dead yet, how can she have such a number?"
"Watch out!" Si Yan noticed that Shuishui's head had moved, so she quickly pulled Jiang Nuo over and held her hand tightly.
Pu Sang and Li Ta, who had crowded to the front to take a look, also stepped back.
Shuishui suddenly raised her right hand, which was pointing at the numbers, and bent it in an extremely contorted position, making a cracking sound from the bones.
Its head turned immediately, its eyes opened to reveal a deep black, staring at Li Ta. Its dark lips parted, and it raised four fingers, pointing them at Li Ta.
"Damn it! It's me again!"
Li Ta touched the wound on his leg, "The giant snake bit me too, so you're targeting me as well!"
Lin Yu stroked his chin and spoke silently, his fingertips trembling slightly, "So she means, the fourth person to die is you?"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to..."
