The feast was finally over in the blink of an eye.
Every guest present gave Shengxiu two yuan, which was considered as living expenses for him.
After all, without his parents, he will still have to live his life in the future.
Zhang Fan pulled Zhang Fan towards home.
On the way back, Zhang Fan saw the flowers that were blooming on the roadside. For some reason, they were all twisted into a whirlpool.
And even the birds in the sky were twisted and elongated into twists, falling to the ground, and their bodies turned into a spiral and ferocious posture.
This scene made Zhang Fan terrified.
It’s not that I was frightened by the sight in front of me.
But, it's just too disgusting.
Although the bodies of these birds have turned into spirals, they are not dead, they are still alive, but every time they tremble, the spirals tighten and make strange squeaking sounds from time to time.
"Don't look too much and leave quickly." As if she didn't want Zhang Fan to see these weird and ferocious things, her mother reminded him in a low voice and pulled him to run towards home in a hurry.
But......
As they get closer to home, there will be more and more visions on the road.
Snails as big as a fist began to appear one after another.
They were densely packed all over the walls and in every corner, on trees, on the ground, on roofs, and in grass and flowers.
They crawled slowly while dripping with transparent mucus.
The whirlpool-shaped snail shell seemed to have a life of its own. In Zhang Fan's eyes, it kept squirming crazily, as if to attract his eyes and attention.
In a daze, Zhang Fan trembled and hurriedly stopped looking.
These snails are so evil that just looking at them for a long time makes you feel like your soul is being affected.
Whirlpool, whirlpool again.
Perhaps this so-called curse has something to do with the whirlpool.
After Uncle and Aunt Laoxiu died, they turned into swirling clouds of black smoke.
The same thing happened to the dog man and woman who were hacked to death by their mother last night. Their bodies were twisted into twisted spirals, which must have something to do with the whirlpool.
The mother looked at the bizarre and strange scenes around her. She no longer had the calmness she had just now, but desperately pulled Zhang Fan toward home and accelerated her pace.
After a long time, the door of the house was pushed open, and the mother dragged Zhang Fan into the courtyard.
Perhaps because she had run so fast, my mother was panting from exhaustion, sweating profusely, and almost collapsed.
After a while, she stood up, looked at Zhang Fan and said seriously: "This village is no longer safe. You have to leave now."
"I want to leave?" Zhang Fan was obviously stunned, with astonishment on his face, as if he didn't expect his mother to say such things to him.
"This village is under a curse and it's getting worse," the mother explained.
"What about you? Aren't you going to leave with me?" Zhang Fan swallowed and asked.
Since the village had been cursed, he thought it would be better to take his mother with him if he wanted to escape.
After all, my mother has been very kind to me these past two days.
It made him feel a mother's love that he had never experienced before.
"I can't walk anymore." The mother sighed, then lifted the hair on the back of her head, exposing the scalp underneath.
Under the back of the mother's head, there was a black swirl mark that was slowly rotating.
This black vortex mark was spreading faster and faster, and it might not take long before it would occupy her entire head.
"This is......"
When Zhang Fan saw this scene, he gasped instantly, his face full of disbelief.
This was the first time he had seen this happen.
Could it be that my mother was also cursed by the whirlpool?
"The curse of Black Whirlpool Village has broken out. No one can escape. You can still save your life by escaping now while you are not contaminated by the curse." The mother put her hair down, her expression full of bitterness.
Her eyes were so calm, without any panic, but instead there was a touch of relief.
"Go along the path, along the fields, and go east, and you will be able to get out of the Black Whirlpool Village."
"Don't go to the hospital, let alone your cousin."
"She is no longer normal and has been assimilated by the whirlpool."
"You have to run further for your life."
Mother took out a handful of scattered bills from her pocket, which totaled nearly a dozen yuan.
She solemnly handed the money into Zhang Fan's hands and asked him to run away with it.
"Mom, come with me. Don't stay here alone, or you will die."
Zhang Fan has already seen the horror of the vortex curse. People or things left here will be transformed in the direction of the vortex intentionally or unintentionally.
Maybe the old Uncle Xiu who died before was contaminated by the whirlpool curse, and finally he went insane and rolled himself alive in the water tank.
Then to the dog man and woman next door.
There are also pregnant women such as my cousin who is pregnant in the hospital.
Now, even the grass and flowers on the road and even the birds in the sky have been assimilated by the whirlpool curse.
Maybe it won't be long before everything here becomes weirder and weirder, and eventually becomes part of the whirlpool.
His mother was kind to him, but to be honest, he didn't want to see his mother die here.
When he first came to this maze scene, he originally thought that the greatest danger came from his mother, but now it seems that is not the case.
All the ominousness and danger actually come from the whirlpool curse.
And the mother is just a victim of this curse.
If possible, Zhang Fan wanted to save his mother's life and let her escape with him.
"Everything is too late, everything is too late."
"I should actually thank you...thank you for being willing to call me mom."
Suddenly, his mother looked at Zhang Fan and showed a kind and gentle smile.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Fan was immediately dumbfounded and didn't understand why his mother spoke like this.
Has my identity been revealed?
"I'm your son. Isn't it normal for me to call you mom?"
Zhang Fan quickly defended himself with sweat dripping from his forehead.
"No, you are not my little puppy." The mother looked at Zhang Fan with extremely complicated eyes. The expression on her face seemed to be crying and laughing, and was filled with a sadness that outsiders could not describe.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? I'm not a little puppy, who else can I be?"
Hearing this, Zhang Fan's expression changed, his heart beat wildly, and he still tried his best to explain.
"Actually... my little puppy Dan is an unfilial son. He has never called me mom since he was a child... he hates me very much. No matter what I do, I can't impress him. "
"That day, I watched him being killed by twisting and turning in the straw field."
"I could only watch helplessly, but there was nothing I could do. I wanted to die with him, but then I saw you..."
"You feel very different to me. Compared with my real child, I think you are better."
"I have thought more than once, it would be great if you were my puppy."
"Thank you for letting me experience the happiness of being a true mother."
"You are a good boy, let's go, escape from here, live..." The mother stepped forward and gave Zhang Fan a hug, then quickly pushed him away and asked him to escape quickly.
The curse of the whirlpool is very terrifying.
Once it breaks out, all areas within a hundred miles of the outbreak point will be contaminated by a terrible curse.
By then, everyone will die.
He will die under the distortion of the whirlpool and become a monster that is neither human nor ghost.
According to legend, even the souls of the deceased cannot escape the influence of the whirlpool curse.
Zhang Fan looked at his mother in front of him, and the bitterness and sourness in his heart reached the extreme.
It turned out that he had been seen through from the moment he first came to this maze scene and met his mother.
It was because his mother regarded him as the most important person to her that she always cared about him and protected him.
It turns out that the maternal love I encountered was not false, but real.
Zhang Fan sighed, and instead of obeying his mother's words and leaving alone, he stepped forward and grabbed his mother's arm.
Let's go together.
It would be too cold-blooded to leave my mother behind in this situation.
And his mother was kind to him from the bottom of her heart.
Zhang Fan knows that kind of goodness firsthand.
Just when Zhang Fan's palm was about to touch his mother.
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred in the next second.
I saw my mother's eyes turning blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She looked numb and stiff. She took out a wooden comb from her pocket and started to comb her hair.
Her hair was combed into swirling curls. This scene looked very strange.
Apparently, the mother's spirit was once again affected by the curse of the vortex.
After Zhang Fan approached, a strong murderous intent suddenly appeared in her mother's eyes. Then she took out a sharp ax from nowhere and aimed it at Zhang Fan's head and struck it hard.
This ax was powerful and heavy, and when it was swung in the air, it made a dull roar and explosion.
It was obvious that the mother used a lot of strength to do this.
It is conceivable that if this ax hits Zhang Fan's head, he will be killed on the spot.
But just as the mother's ax was about to fall on Zhang Fan's head, suddenly, at this moment, an inexplicable tornado slowly blew from the distant sky.
This tornado was tens of meters high and three to four meters wide. It rose from the ground in a spiral shape from bottom to top. In an instant, it was connected and intertwined with the dark clouds in the sky, forming a line.
Wherever they passed, houses collapsed, landslides and ground cracked, and people wailed.
It moved extremely quickly, and in just a few seconds, it arrived at Zhang Fan's home.
During the boom, sand flew all over the sky, and the ground shook.
Zhang Fan only felt that his vision went dark, he was in a trance, and his body was shaken to the point of being unsteady. If the body spirit had not played a role at the critical moment, he might have been swept away directly.
A few more seconds passed, and the tornado disappeared in a hurry, and the scene in front of Zhang Fan suddenly became clear.
When he looked towards where his mother was just standing, his whole body froze on the spot.
Because he saw no trace of his mother in front of him at this time.
Some only have a bag of food brought back from the banquet, scattered here and there, with oil and water splashing all over the floor.
It reveals a scene of desolation and loneliness.
