Monument of Life and Death

Chapter 496: Master of the face

Chapter 496 Master of Face

Seeing that there was no one near the yard, Xiaolan arched over the railing and came to the road.

There was a strange fragrance in the air, and Xiaolan was a little hungry.

Xiaolan looked at the warehouse from this dirt road, and he just happened to see the reflection of Baomu’s duck-egg head.

At this time, there were faintly chaotic voices in the distance.

Xiaolan hurriedly hid behind a tree and looked in the direction of the sound.

At the end of the dirt road, a group of people in various shirts appeared. Two people walked in front, two people walked behind, and the four were carrying something together.

The four people approached here, Xiaolan looked around, and quickly got into the bushes next to him, peeking through the gaps in the leaves.

They were four dark-skinned young men. The four of them looked a bit similar, except that they had different clothes and hair styles, and they carried a strong bamboo pole on their shoulders.

Hanging on the bamboo pole was the head of the first duck egg who fell into the trap last night. The man was bloody, his head was turned back, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.

Where are those people taking him?

"Fuck me!" One of the four people was suddenly stepped on by the person behind. The person leaped on one leg while lifting his shoes, "What are you doing! What's in a hurry?"

"Can I not be in a hurry? The one caught by the fifth brother's house must have been delivered," the person behind hurriedly pushed the person in front, "Quickly, quickly! I'm hungry!..."

"Just you are hungry! Fuck..."

A few people cursed and walked past Xiaolan, towards the other end of the dirt road.

The one from the fifth brother's house?

Has anyone else been caught?

Xiaolan promised that Baomu would not run far, so she could only watch the four people carrying the corpse and disappear at the end of her sight.

waited in the bushes for a while, there was no other sound.

How come there are so few people in this village during the day?

Xiaolan carefully climbed out of the bushes.

"What are you doing here?"

When a human voice suddenly sounded behind her, Xiaolan's body directly froze, and she even forgot what she had originally planned to do.

"Why didn't you divide the meat?" the voice behind him continued.

Xiaolan slowly turned around, his brain spinning rapidly.

Then, when she saw the face of the person speaking, her brain went down completely.

That is Baomu's face.

"Bao..."

"What's wrong?" Baomu in front of him glanced at Xiaolan, "Why do you seem surprised? What were you looking at?"

This is not Baomu.

Although the facial features and face are exactly the same as Baomu, no matter whether it is hairstyle or body movements, they are not the authentic Baomu who is hiding in the warehouse.

"You are so strange," the person with Bao Mu's face squinted at Xiaolan, "What are you looking at hiding in front of your house? So suspicious... I don't know you think you are those raw meat."

Xiaolan shook his back and hurriedly said, "No...no, I just saw someone caught it."

"Is someone else caught it?" The man patted his thigh, "Oh, everyone caught it, but we didn't."

Xiaolan swallowed, "We didn't catch it either."

"I saw it in my yard," the man frowned. "Like my house, they were caught, but they ran away again and lost a net for nothing."

Xiaolan nodded.

She somewhat understood.

It seems that every family here hides such a face, and what the face looks like will the family look like.

No wonder the villagers want to hunt them down.

Since this person has Baomu's face, this family must have Baomu's face!

"Okay, since we didn't grasp it, let's go to the meat earlier..." The man walked forward two steps as he said, but when Xiaolan didn't follow, he turned his head and asked, "Aren't you going?"

"I...I'll wait for them," Xiaolan raised her hand indiscriminately, "You go first."

"Then we will finish the division when you go..." The man put his hand behind and mumbled and walked away.

Xiaolan waited for him to go a little farther, turned around and ran back to the yard. As soon as he got back to the barn, he saw Baomu pointing outside excitedly and pointing to his face again.

"I know I know," Xiaolan grabbed Baomu's arm, "Brother Baomu, I know, your face must be hidden in that person's house."

Baomu nodded quickly.

"Have you been staring at me just now?" Xiaolan asked.

Baomu nodded.

"Then did you see where that person came from? I have to go to his house."

Baomu took Xiaolan to the door of the warehouse, raised his hand, and pointed to the house next door.

"Is next door here?"

No wonder that person said that he could see the situation of this house from the yard.

"Brother Baomu, it seems that they are going to participate in a ceremony now, I am going to see it now," Xiaolan said, "you stay here, don't make a sound."

Baomu solemnly bid farewell to Xiaolan.

The structure of the small courtyard of the family next door is exactly the same as the one they are hiding in, except that there is no gap in the fence. Xiaolan uses her long legs to cross the fence. The first thing is to walk towards the barn behind the house.

However, there is no big tank in the family’s warehouse.

Xiaolan scratched his head and walked a few steps cautiously.

In the depths of the barn, there was a small sound.

Xiaolan stopped abruptly.

There is some sound again.

Xiaolan has some ideas.

She then approached.

Then, he squatted down suddenly.

Sure enough, in the dark corner of the barn, there is a duck egg head trying to shrink into a ball.

"Don't be afraid..." Xiaolan ran over immediately, "I am also a player!"

Hearing the words, the man raised the head of the duck egg and looked at Xiaolan.

She could feel the man startled for a while.

In the next second, the duck-egg head magnified in front of Xiaolan's eyes, and the person rushed towards Xiaolan. Xiaolan didn't pay attention, and was directly thrown to the ground by that person.

"What are you doing?!…"

The person's hand directly greeted Xiaolan's face, and the two struggled endlessly on the ground. After a while, the person caught many scratches on Xiaolan's face.

Fed up.

Xiaolan raised his legs and kicked the duck egg head out with one foot.

The man fell onto the shed of the barn, and the small barn trembled a few times, and dust was scattered on the top of the two of them. As soon as the man got up from the ground, he was about to pounce on Xiaolan again.

"What are you doing?! I'm here to help you! Are you crazy?!" Xiao Lan ran to the outside of the barn.

The man rushed forward, and the hot sunlight instantly hit him, and he could only retreat angrily.

Xiaolan panted heavily, glanced around vigilantly, and said dissatisfied, "Why are you attacking me?"

The man pointed at Xiaolan and then at himself, making desperate gestures.

Xiaolan lost a stick and went in, "You write."

The man picked up the stick and wrote neatly on the ground, "Your face is mine."

Xiaolan was silent for a while.

The man went on to write, "You stole my face."

"Hey, you can't say that," Xiaolan scratched her face, "This matter...I can explain this matter."

After finishing speaking, she explained the cause and effect of the matter to the furious duck egg head.

"Then why are you here?" the person wrote.

"I...I want to find my face," Xiaolan didn't tell the truth, "maybe when I find my face, I can return your face to you."

"I saw the looks of this family in the morning," the person wrote, "It's a handsome boy about twenty years old with a mole on the corner of his eye. Is that your face?"

It's Baomu's face, right.

At this time, noisy conversation sounded outside, Xiaolan and the duck egg head swiftly crawled back to the depths of the barn and looked through the small window on the road.

Several men laughed and opened the fence door, and walked to the wooden table in the yard. The headed man was carrying a bunch of green things in his hands. The faces of the men were exactly the same, they all looked like Baomu.

"They're back..." Xiaolan said softly, turning her head to see that the man was looking at her face madly.

"Oh, I must return my face to you," Xiaolan said with a guilty heart. "However, I found your face in a water tank, but this house does not have a water tank. From this point of view, the way every family hides our face It should be different... Brother, don't look at it. I ask you, have you heard anything from this family?"

Duck egg head thinks about it.

Xiaolan glanced at the entrance of the warehouse, "Is there no trap at the entrance of this warehouse?"

Duck Dan's head shook his head.

"Then have you been caught in his trap?"

Duckdan nodded, pulled Xiaolan away, and pointed to the back door of the family's house.

"Are you a trap in there?"

nodded.

"Will they hide their face in the house?" Xiaolan lifted his chin and touched the stubble on one hand. "Because the family that hides your face set a trap at the door of the barn, and the face Hidden in the barn."

The duck egg head thought for a while, and it seemed to make sense.

But problems also follow.

Are they going to enter the house through the back door?

After all... those people are staying in the house.

The noise in the yard gradually disappeared. As soon as the door was opened and closed, several people returned to the house.

Xiaolan was thinking hard, and after a while, the duck's head stabbed Xiaolan's back.

Xiaolan looked up and saw him pointing out the window.

it's dark.

"We can go out." Xiaolan stood up.

Go to get Baomu's face back.

Xiaolan stepped out of the barn and was investigating behind the pillar. The duck head followed her step by step, for fear that Xiaolan would abscond with her face.

Xiaolan holding a stick, walking and testing.

She walked to the back of the simple wooden house, pointed the head of the duck egg forward, Xiaolan poked the stick with a swish, and put a big net on the spot and wrapped Xiaolan's stick in it.

The trap is in this position.

Xiaolan moved her eyes to the back door.

There is no lock on the door, only a wooden handle.

Xiaolan grabbed the handle and gently pulled it away.

Squeak—

The sound of opening the door seemed too harsh in this quiet night, and the two of them froze for a few seconds. Seeing no other movement, Xiaolan held his breath and slowly opened the back door.

There is a black hole in the door, unlike a human being.

A pungent stench came on her face, making Xiaolan a little retching.

It's like something rotten.

Xiaolan opened the door wider, and looked into the house by the moonlight.

Here...it seems to be a kitchen.

The kitchen was messy, no wonder there was such a smell, Xiao Lan leaned in half of his body, and saw a familiar thing on the chopping board.

is the green stuff that the family brought back not long ago.

Xiaolan walked in on tiptoe.

It seems that at least there are no traps in the house.

She walked towards the mass first, and from the texture of the surface, it looked like a lotus leaf.

In the lotus leaf, something is wrapped.

Xiaolan stretched out her hand.

The duck head grabbed Xiaolan's hand.

Xiaolan waved her hand, stretched out, and peeled off the lotus leaf a little bit.

A strong rancid smell is coming.

In the lotus leaf, a person's hand is wrapped.

The hand was bloody, the fracture was neat, bone stubble and plasma dripped onto the cutting board along the lotus leaf.

Xiaolan thought of what the person in this family had said.

Don’t divide the meat?

Could it be...

There was a nausea in Xiaolan's stomach, she quickly moved her eyes away and looked at other places in the kitchen.

A steel basin was placed on the ground. Xiaolan walked over. The steel basin was not filled with water, but some kind of turbid, fishy liquid.

Baomu's face is not here.

Xiaolan thought, even if his face is here, Baomu, who is so sensitive to smells, will never put his face in. It is estimated that he will directly commit suicide and quit the game.

There seemed to be nothing else in the kitchen, Xiaolan moved to the corridor outside the kitchen.

There is no door in this room. All rooms are open. On both sides of the narrow corridor are two rooms with black holes. At the end of the corridor is the living room.

Xiaolan pulled the duck egg head, pointed at himself, pointed to the left, pointed to him, and pointed to the right.

The duck head understood instantly, and the two moved toward the two side rooms against the wall.

Xiaolan poked her head out a little bit.

There was no one in the room on the left. Xiaolan sighed in relief, turned her head, and shook her head when she saw the duck egg.

The room on the left was very empty, and there was no fishy smell. There was only a musty smell that had not been seen for a long time. There were a few scattered clothes on the floor, and nothing else.

The duck egg head guarded at the door of the room, Xiaolan shook his head at him, and the two walked to the room on the right together.

On the right side of , there is a smelly toilet.

A large wooden barrel with a height of one meter was placed against the wall. There was a small wooden barrel on the side. The wooden lid was covered on the small wooden barrel. A long rope was pulled out on the side with some messy rags hanging on the rope.

The big wooden barrel is empty.

Xiaolan looked at the small wooden barrel and the lid, feeling excited unconsciously.

The big tank of that household is covered with a lid.

Xiaolan reached out and lifted the lid.

The two retched silently at the same time.

In the small wooden barrel, there are disgusting excrement.

Xiaolan quickly closed the lid back, turned and pushed the duck egg head to exit the door together.

Next, there is only the living room.

If nothing happens, the family should rest in the living room at this time.

But Xiaolan has no other way.

The two squatted, poking their heads out of the corridor.

Strangely, there is no one in the living room.
