Jiang Yue was startled, stopped walking forward, and clenched the knife in her hand.
What kind of thing lives in such scary eyes?
The eyes moved up and down, left and right, but seemed to find nothing.
Are you blind?
The thing inside "watched" quietly for a while, then put out its ears to listen.
Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, it was a human ear. There are survivors inside, not monsters.
But she didn't intend to disturb the villagers, let alone cause trouble. She just wanted to find an empty house and stay there until dawn.
So she remained motionless, and when the other party closed the door and entered the house, she turned around and went out, closing the courtyard door gently.
She didn't notice that the door to the back room was gently opened again, and a disembodied figure quietly appeared, and the ears moved slightly.
Jiang Yue put the knife behind her and walked towards the village.
Since there are villagers in this village, she should stay away a little, so as not to scare people, like a murderer on a rainy night, which may cause misunderstandings and end badly.
The pain in her ankle became more pronounced. For the sake of ventilation, she did not wrap gauze on her forehead. Now after a day of soaking in the rain, the scabs have turned white and tend to become inflamed.
She smoothed back her loose hair to reveal her smooth forehead, which would not easily block her sight.
Half of the houses in the second and third houses had collapsed. She walked to the fourth house, which was a slate house and looked quite solid.
The courtyard door couldn't be pushed open, so she climbed directly onto the one-meter-high wall.
"boom--"
There was a dull sound of landing.
Then there were footsteps in the house.
Tsk, Jiang Yue frowned, are there so many survivors in this village?
She decided to speak first so as not to be beaten as a thief. "Is there anyone inside? I'd like to come and stay overnight."
She folded one hand behind her back and secretly took out two multigrain pancakes.
The people in the room paused when they heard her voice. Two voices were communicating in a low voice, as if they were discussing something. After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged woman with a kind face came out.
There was constant lightning outside, and the dim light shone on her face, which looked a little better than the others.
Her expression was tense, and she looked behind Jiang Yue warily. After making sure that she was the only woman, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Is the young lady alone?"
Jiang Yue nodded, "My husband went ahead to explore the road, and I was waiting behind. Unfortunately, it rained heavily, so I wanted to come to the village to borrow a place to stay and leave tomorrow."
She added, "I thought no one lived in the village, so I jumped over the wall. I was offended. Please forgive me, sister-in-law."
The woman was surprised when she saw the multigrain pancake handed to her, and hurriedly accepted it. First, she made sure that no one was following her, and then welcomed her into the house.
"Little lady, come inside quickly."
Jiang Yue was wearing a coir raincoat and a few long-sleeved pieces under the linen jacket to cover up her slim figure. Wearing only a mask, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
The woman had no candles at home, and the heavy rain was probably going to continue for many more days, and she was reluctant to use firewood. She took Jiang Yue into a small room in the dark and said, "Young lady, please stay here."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Jiang Yue didn't care, as long as she could avoid the rain.
She stood behind the door and listened to a few footsteps outside. They sounded strong and powerful, and they were the footsteps of a strong man. Along the way, the refugees walked on their feet, and few of them walked so solidly.
It's just that this room is far away and I can't hear what they are saying clearly.
She lowered her eyes and stood quietly for a quarter of an hour, no one came over.
There was lightning and thunder outside, lighting up the house. She checked the room up and down, and found that there were basically no furnishings, just a small bed.
She entered the space, changed out of her soaked clothes, and drank two packs of cold medicine.
Then he was so tired that he fell asleep directly.
The wind was howling, and the rain outside was getting heavier, hitting the tiles and making a thumping sound like a drum.
In the next room, several people were discussing something.
The woman closed the door tightly, and then whispered, "It was a young lady. She said that her husband went to explore the way ahead, and it happened to be raining heavily, so she came to find a house to hide from the rain alone... ..."
"Impossible! Her husband would leave a weak woman behind and explore the road alone? This is obviously a lie."
Before she could finish speaking, a man sitting on the edge of the bed replied, "And who hasn't come back until night? If he didn't coax her into leaving her, then the other party has already lost his life. It's so easy to explore the road. of?"
It seems that this group of people dare not go alone to explore the road.
Another little man's little eyes rolled around, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and he asked his sister-in-law, "Is that little lady beautiful?"
There was hesitation on her face, not sure, "She was wearing a raincoat and a hood on her face, so she couldn't see clearly. But the eyes she exposed were very beautiful, and from the sound of her voice, she seemed to be less than twenty years old."
Such a young woman is just right for him! He licked his lips and said, "Why don't you save her life and leave her as my wife?"
He hadn't done that for a long time, and he was so hungry.
Suddenly, he was slapped on the back of the head by another tall, thin man with a scar on his face, "You are the only one who wants a wife? I want it too!"
He touched his head and mumbled, not daring to say anything.
The eldest brother who was sitting on the bed rolled his eyes. These two are really useless. "Okay! You two will sleep for a day each and take turns."
"Hey, that's a good idea!"
Neither of them had any objections.
The eldest brother checked with the woman again, "Does she have any food with her?"
The woman shook her head, "I don't know, it looks like I didn't bring anything. But the pancakes she gave me were very soft and much more delicious than the pancakes made in the village."
Several people licked their lips and ate the two pancakes. They were indeed delicious. They tasted sweet and didn't choke their throats.
The eldest brother agreed, "She gave me the pancakes so generously. She specified that she also had other grains. If she doesn't have them with her, she must have hidden them. She will always tell you if you take your time."
"Besides, didn't she say that her husband went to explore the way? Let's see if her husband will come tomorrow. If he does come..."
His eyes sparkled, "Then let's catch turtles in one urn, or two in a pair!"
Can ducks fly on their territory?
Several people sneered and responded, "Yes!"
Jiang Yue slept in the house until morning. The light outside passed through the window paper and illuminated the house, making her vision clear.
She was startled. It was rare for her to sleep for so long in a strange place.
If you move a little, your whole body will feel sore and numb. After being exposed to the rain for so long, she still had a fever.
She was dizzy, her nose was blocked, and she was shaking all the time. I had no choice but to hug the quilt tightly, and my breath was hot from my nose and mouth.
At this time, "dong dong dong -" there was a knock on the door.
A woman's figure showed through the window paper, and she shouted, "Little lady, are you awake?"
