Chapter 526
Yanshi always thought that what Wen Yeyan asked him to look for must be some things that were beneficial to him, not necessarily some poisons he liked. If he didn't look for them, Yanshi's heart would be as uncomfortable as a cat scratching it!
After leaving the ruined house, Yanshi took his people directly towards the direction further west of Lijia Village. When he was on the hillside, he vaguely saw a forest with good growth. If there were any poisons or something, why would the chance of being in the woods be greater?
However, as soon as he brought people to the edge of the woods, Yanshi felt that the smell in the air was a little wrong.
"Have you ever heard it?" Yanshi frowned immediately, and couldn't help but look at the people following him and asked, "What does this smell like?"
"It smells like rotten meat smells like it!" The people immediately frowned and said to Yanshi: "There must be something rotten in this forest... This smell is too bad. Yanshi, are we going to go in?"
"Go, why don't you go!" Yanshi said without hesitation, "Is it okay to have extra facial scarf tied up with another layer? Maybe some wild beast died and the corpse was rotten... Tsk tsk, it seems that no villagers come here in this forest on weekdays! Otherwise, if this is discovered, why would it be like digging a hole to bury it and dealing with the smell!"
The few people nodded silently, tightened the face towel covering their mouth and nose, and then followed Yanshi into the forest.
The more I walked into the forest, the more intense the stench of the rotten meat became, almost making everyone unable to resist it, and they even dared not even say anything.
After Yanshi took a few steps, he was a little reluctant to move forward.
I don’t know what kind of beast this died, and how many people died, so that the stench can be so stunning. Even if they move forward, they will only see rotten flesh and skeletons covered with insects. Thinking about it, they will suffer. It seems that there is no point in the past!
Yanshi covered his mouth and nose with his hands, waved directly to the people behind him, signaling them to turn around and go to the slightly stinky place.
However, the group had just turned around, but saw a person dragging his body in the distance, walking step by step towards him.
Yanshi directly signaled to everyone, and the group went towards the person.
However, when he was about to get closer, Yanshi couldn't help but stop and frowned and looked at the figure who was struggling to move forward.
It was a man in ragged clothes, about thirties, with a dark face, and some dry blood on it. His black hair was gray and scattered in a mess. His face was half covered by the scattered hair, which was a bit unreal. The man's clothes were covered with holes, revealing the dark skin inside and some scabbed wounds...
"Yanshi...can't he smell the stench in the forest?" A man was really curious, covering his mouth, nose and face towel with his hands, and couldn't help but say to Yanshi: "He is like he can't smell anything... If it weren't for him having a problem with himself, or he was already used to it!"
In fact, none of the people present were fools. Looking at the man's clothes and his current appearance, they couldn't help but wonder. Lijia Village was obviously not far away, and this person should be a villager of Lijia Village, but why did he have to live alone in such a smelly forest? How long did it take to live before he could get used to the smelly forest?
"Go over and take a look!" Yanshi covered his mouth and nose, said to the few people, and then followed in the direction of the man.
When they finally got closer, Yanshi wanted to call on the man who was not aware of them at all, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw something and couldn't help but stayed in place.
The few people following Yan Shi looked along his gaze and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
But the man saw nothing, dragging his tired body and walking forward step by step.
"Yanshi, do you want to pull him back!" One person couldn't help but ask Yanshi.
Yanshi shook his head silently, looking ahead but didn't say anything anymore.
He didn't know what to say! And at this moment, Yanshi finally understood what Wen Yeyan meant by the death breath, and finally understood why the forest was so smelly!
Just in the direction of the man's progress, there was an open space. Most of the trees in the open space were cut down, leaving only a piece of stumps. However, the shade on the top of the head seemed to have not been affected and still grew densely, almost covering the sky above the head.
There were some messy rocks on the open space, but these rocks were not originally here, but someone moved here specially. These rocks surrounded the entire open space, leaving only a large gap for use as an entrance and exit.
The position of Yanshi and the others at this moment was just facing the gap, and they could see the corpses placed on the ground in the open space.
Yes, there were corpses in the open space, hundreds of corpses, and all kinds of rotten corpses that emitted endless odor.
Everyone couldn't help but guess. Could it be that the funeral forms in Lijia Village are different? It's not that they are buried in peace, but that they have to put them in the open air to wait for the corpses to rot naturally into bones?
But what was the man going to do when he walked over there? Where were his relatives and preparing to go to the festival?
Yanshi and others couldn't figure it out, so they could only stand silently and watch.
The man finally approached the open space, then stopped, as if he was standing there in a daze. After a long time, he continued to go into the open space, as if he was looking for something, without any fear, and was not affected by the almost suffocating odor.
After a long time, the man suddenly stood still and happened to face Yanshi and the others' direction. Then he cried bitterly and fell to his knees on the ground...
The crying sounded in the woods, but it did not come far away, as if the stones surrounding the open space had covered up all the sounds.
"Yanshi, do you want to go over and take a look?" After hearing it for a while, someone couldn't help asking Yanshi, "I look at the man who doesn't seem to want to rest."
