It's dead again.

Seeing this scene, I subconsciously looked at the people around me, thinking about which one looks more like Conan, and wherever I go, people will die?

Is this too unscientific?

I was a little nervous about this emergencies, but Ma Yiao and Martin were both smart and capable people. After seeing the situation, they immediately rushed into the room. One person checked the corpse on the ground, and the other person unscrewed a bamboo tube wrapped in oil paper, and the light immediately filled the room. Then he looked around and looked for the traces that the murderer might have left.

Feihua and I were just about to step into the house, but we reached out to stop Ma Yiao and said, "Wait first."

I stood at the door, neither going in nor retreating. I waited until Martin finished checking and came back to the room, and he signaled me casually, and then said in a deep voice: "There are at least three people who have taken action, with different weights. One of them may be a child or a woman. It should be nearby shortly after the incident."

Ma Yiao was checking the body. After hearing this, he looked up and said he was a person in the industry?

Martin shook his head and said it was uncertain, it was possible - what did you find here?

Ma Yiao said: "The attack was very ruthless, using a dagger, the man killed himself with one blow, and it seemed like a sneak attack. The woman was hit by three times, one in the head and two in the chest. This is a way to leave no way for people to survive. Obviously, the person who attacked seemed to be trying to cover up something and kill someone to silence..."

Martin jumped and said, "Is it the ones who killed people in front of the mountain before?" They seem... they are also three people, right?"

The following sentence was said to me.

I recalled the situation at that time, nodded and said it was right, it was three people.

Martin frowned and thought for a while, but at this time, Ma Yiao next to him suddenly became tense up and walked quickly towards the inner room. After a few seconds, he shouted, "Who? Come out!"

Before I could wait, I heard the cry of the child, and then saw Ma Yiao carrying a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy to the main house.

The young man grabbed Ma Yiao, crying and making a fuss, and struggled to the death, but he was no match for Ma Yiao and had no way to break free. However, Ma Yiao took the initiative to throw him on the ground.

As soon as the boy landed, he rolled on the ground and suddenly exerted force and rushed towards the door.

I kept staring at him, and when he raised his head, he was shocked, his scalp was numb, as if he saw a ghost - but he saw that the young man had deformed facial features on his face, as if he had been kneaded with dough hard. Not only that, there were many lymphoid rashes and patches on his face, light red, purple or brown-yellow, some were transparent, and some were accompanied by a little scale, which was very terrifying.

On this face, various tumor-like objects accumulate, like evil spirits walking out of hell.

I was shocked, my whole body became stiff, as if I was so sucked by the man. Seeing that he was about to pounce on me, I suddenly stretched out a leg from the slant, and suddenly poked it, kicking the evil-like boy back.

At this time, I realized that although the young man looked ugly like an evil ghost, his physical fitness was just like that of an ordinary person.

Even worse than ordinary people.

When I saw the boy "Ouch" and fell to the dead man and woman on the ground, I came to my senses. At this time, Martin threw the candlelight in his hand on the ground. I found that the man and woman on the ground were also as ugly as this boy, like an evil ghost.

Not only that, their bodies are also deformed and distorted, and in addition to the smell of blood, they also emit a foul smell.

When Ma Yiao saw Feihua and I were stunned and trembled all over. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be afraid, it's not a monster, it's just a leper."

ah?

I woke up only when I heard Ma Yiao's words.

I have heard that leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by leprosy. People with this disease will have skin and nerves, and in severe cases it will become disabled and deformed. This disease will make patients extremely ugly because of its unique pathology. Because of this, many villages before the founding of the People's Republic of China, those who had leprosy were often expelled, some died tragically on the roadside, and some escaped into the mountains and survived.

When I was studying, I heard from a classmate from Xichuan, my hometown, that there was a village in the mountain where they were specially housed for lepers.

Such a leprosy village is isolated from the world. They don’t go out and no one comes in outside.

At this moment, we must have entered a similar leprosy village.

No wonder when they met those villagers outside the mountain, they heard that a few of us were preparing to go into the mountain to find relatives, and their faces looked so unnatural.

It turns out that's the reason.

If this is the case, we can understand the murderer's motive for murder, because in this deep mountain, I suddenly saw such an ugly person, who was a person, and I would be somewhat afraid.

Some people are afraid and run away when they are afraid; while for some evil people, they may kill people when they are afraid.

Facing the leprosy patient, Ma Yiao was calm, but Martin seemed much more fierce. He walked to the leprosy boy and shouted to him: "Be honest, don't move around, otherwise we are not polite!"

Ma Yiao stepped forward and said gently: "Don't worry, we won't hurt you - who are these two people on the ground? Are your father and mother?"

The boy got up from the ground, looked at us with hatred, but didn't speak.

I guess he thought we killed the two people on the ground, so he quickly explained: "We just arrived here, just wanted to stay, we didn't kill people..."

Ma Yiao reached out to stop my explanation and said, "He knows."

He continued to slow down his tone and said to the teenager: "The murderer should have left. You may have seen them, maybe you didn't see them, but it doesn't matter. We are just here to stay and will not do anything to you."

Hearing our words, the boy's face became calmer. He looked at us hesitantly but still stopped talking.

Ma Yiao walked out of the house first, looked around for a while, and then said, "Go to the temple."

Leprosy is a contagious chronic disease. It is divided into direct contact infection and indirect contact infection. Whether it is physical contact, droplets when a bacterial person coughs and sneezes, or clothes, bedding, hand towels, food utensils, etc. used by the infectious patient, it may be transmitted.

Everyone knows this, so they don’t want to stay here for too long.

We returned to the dilapidated temple just now, and chopped the broken table in the temple to make fire. When I turned around, I saw the leper boy in his teenager carrying a hoe and starting to dig a hole not far from home.

He is not old and in poor health. His hoe is taller than others and it is very difficult to dig.

Fei Hua couldn't stand it and said, "Or, we'll help him- he's pitiful enough, this night..."

Before he finished speaking, Martin, who was making a fire, said coldly: "Precaution yourself first."

After we made a fire, we took out dry food and drinking water from our backpacks, gathered together, and after a simple meal, we began to talk about tomorrow's things - along the way, Martin and Ma Yiao were vague about our destination, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, but when things were about to come, we had to remind us so that we would not have time to react.

Although Martin's father had been to the Baxia Secret Realm, the old man has always been very secretive about this matter and rarely mentioned it.

He seemed to have encountered something terrifying inside, and was scared.

The reason why Martin knew was that when he was sorting out his father's relics, he got a note that described the approximate location of the secret realm of the Baxia and the search method.

However, that was more than 20 years ago. Times have changed, and he is not sure what the situation is.

One thing that is certain is that we are very close.

Martin told us that if we get up tomorrow morning, go south from us, if we find a place like "Duziao", the next thing will be easier.

The corresponding mountains and rivers in the notes are well described in detail, and he is very confident that he can find them.

After assigning tomorrow's tasks, Ma Yiao raised his head and asked Fei Hua who had been looking out: "How is that child?"

Feihua looked pity: "I just buried it, wrapped in two thin quilts, rolled up the mat, put it in the soil, the pit was not dug deep, but he was very strong..."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but say, "It seems that there is only one person in this village. How can he live in the future?"

"However he lives, you don't have to worry about it," Martin said coldly, biting a piece of hard dry beef: "There are so many poor people in the world, I wonder how many people can't even eat. Can you care about it?"

His words made me speechless, but I also knew that he was speaking very realistically.

Letting go of it is our most rational choice.

I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say, but at this time, Feihua shouted: "He is coming to us."

ah?

Everyone, including Ma Yiao, stood up in surprise, and then saw the ugly-looking boy walking into the ruined temple with mud and water. Under the dim oil lamp, his face looked particularly twisted, and turbid mucus oozed out of his scale-like skin, his eyes were red, staring at us.

After a while, he said slowly: "I know where you are going, but I want to tell you that it is not in Tuzi'ao."

The words of this young man shocked us all.

I subconsciously looked out the door. From his house to this dilapidated temple, it was at least ten meters away, so far away, and he was still busy burying his parents. How did he hear us talking?

Eavesdropping?

This is impossible. You know, Feihua was always watching him just now. If he approached, how could Feihua not have a warning?

Martin's face also changed, and he said coldly: "Child, do you know what you are talking about?"

The boy raised his head and said stubbornly: "I know, if you don't believe me, you can go tomorrow and find it. When I didn't say anything - in this world, I am the only one who knows where the Baxia Secret Realm is now, except my parents..."
