Ling Huan was looking for the source of the ringtone. She noticed the sound from a long distance away, but she didn't expect it to get closer and closer and stop behind her. She saw the woman's lace-up embroidered shoes at a glance
, lotus leaves are green, with small golden bells hanging on both sides. This is the source of the sound.
She is a beautiful girl, about the same age as herself. Looking up, you can see that the dark skirt reaches to the calf, decorated with pear blossoms. There is a plain sachet on her waist, and if you look up, you can piece it together. It is a light dress.
Green little furisode. At least judging from her current dress and body shape, she doesn't look like someone who lacks food and clothing. She also wears exquisite clothes.
Three-stringed earrings. But her hair quality is something else to say: the ends of the dark and back hair are slightly curled and pulled to the right. There is a section of hair that is too light for some reason and fades to golden brown, and is braided and wrapped around the back.
, fixed with a white hairpin. Is that jade? No, it's ivory, with the ends carved to look like ginkgo leaves.
She suffered from poor nutrition for at least a period of time, so she suffered from the sequelae. Lingyu knew because she had seen relatives in similar situations. However, Lingyu could not determine what the instrument in her hand was. It was also... a three-stringed instrument.
It seemed different, at least it was different from what she had seen before. The wood was mahogany, and the covering was animal skin? At least it wasn't snake skin.
"Are you... a relative of this family?" Ling Huan and Yi Yiran both looked at her.
She didn't speak, but shook her head, as if she was just passing by. But at this moment, Ye Lingquan heard people's screams and turned her head to look over. She was horrified to find several shambling living corpses walking away.
Come over, each one's face is ulcerated, emitting a stench, and it is extremely terrifying. One or two of the frightened passers-by ran away, and the living corpse did not seem to chase them, only
It was moving slowly this way. Ling Huan could clearly feel that her small body was still shaking, and the arms carrying her were also shaking - or in fact, she herself was shaking. She finally realized the feeling of "being
What does it feel like to be "too scared to walk"? At this point, she couldn't move a step at all, and she couldn't make a sound with her open mouth.
The woman of her own age looked back and seemed not as scared as the others.
"Oh...why are they still following me?"
She spoke, her voice very soft, like a breeze blowing through the grass.
She held the instrument in her hands and did not play. She just used some kind of white pick to draw three silk threads. Is that ivory too? The living corpse suddenly stopped there, motionless. Ye Lingyu thought to himself,
Who is she? Why can she control the behavior of these monsters? This seems dangerous, could it be...
"mother!!"
Shen Yiran finally couldn't hold back and yelled, which was as harsh as the sound of a broken string. After that, she burst into tears. Ling Huan was frightened, and the living corpses that had been standing suddenly started to move again.
Get up and move towards them.
At this moment, someone climbed over the wall and came out so fast that Ling Huan felt as if the shadow of a bird was passing over his head. But the next moment, Shen Wenzheng stood in front of the two of them with his stick horizontally. Immediately afterwards, Xie
Zhe and Hanshang also rushed out of the door.
The moment the two people came out, they only saw the shadow of the stick passing through their sight. The sound of the long stick cutting through the air was endless. She hit the vital point with every move. This wonderful stick technique looked like it had been practiced, rising and falling.
, it was dazzling. Pulling, lifting, hooking, winding, letting, and picking, every movement was clean and neat, without any redundancy. They were stunned for a moment before they remembered to help.
When Xie Zhe drew out his sword, the wind blew up. He moved the sword blade along the wind and used the force to make moves. Han Sheng knew that it was not appropriate to use magic at this time, otherwise he would hurt others. He drew out the dagger and Dealing with living corpses. Those corpses are just dead people after all, and they are not as flexible as human beings. After three strikes, five divided by two, these living corpses made the three of them lie on the ground. Ling Huan noticed that their weapons None of them are stained with blood - they are all made of high-quality iron, and the workmanship is fine, and the sword, stick, and stick skills are all extremely fast, so fast that even blood stains have no time to hang on them. Even the slightly sticky ones are quickly thrown away by the next move. .
"You can't 'kill' them by stabbing them through the heart..."
Xie Zhe stepped on the waist of a living corpse. It was struggling hard and kept moving even when it was pinned to the ground by his sword. It was like a trapped crab. When he drew out his sword and was about to behead it, Han Zhang suddenly bent down and stabbed the dagger into its head with force. It immediately stopped moving. Xie Zhe moved his feet and looked at Han Zhang with doubts.
"Beheading is useless," he said. "When I just cut off the corpse's feet, I saw that they could still run and the feet were jumping like maggots. I remembered that Mrs. Shen had stabbed the head directly. If If you just cut off the head, I'm afraid the body can still move."
Too bad.
Xie Zhe turned around and found that there was indeed a headless living corpse that he had just beheaded rushing towards Ling Huan and Yiran. Xie Zhe stepped forward and cut the mess with a sharp knife. The meridians of its body broke instantly and it immediately fell to the ground. While cutting the tendons, He used too much force and chopped off the left hand of the corpse. This was a woman who had died not long ago, and her hand was relatively intact, except for a few corpse spots. The hand fell to the ground, but a few fingers stood up on their own and quickly Running towards Shen Yiran. Ling Huan didn't think much, and pushed the child aside with her right hand. She waved her left hand to try to resist its attack, but was grabbed tightly by the wrist. She could no longer think about why this thing happened. Why was it so powerful? She pulled it hard with her right hand, but couldn't pull it off. Even though it was such a slender hand, it was extremely powerful, not at all like the strength its owner could use when he was alive.
Several people were so frightened that they didn’t know where to start. Ling Huan might be injured by pulling hard. But if she didn’t help, her forearm would be cut off by the dead hand! However, it was at this time that the strings of the piano were plucked. The sound rang again. It turned out that the woman did not run away, but sat on a stone by the roadside and played the piano. I just made the piano make sound, but I am afraid it was because the piano did not have a strap, so it could not be played directly.
The hand suddenly let go on its own. It slowed down a lot and crawled towards the place where the music was coming from. The subdued corpses, and even the body parts, also used their own movement methods to move towards the place in different postures and speeds. He moved with her. If any passerby saw this scene, he would probably have nightmares for several nights.
They were all stunned.
"...It seems that I guessed right, they don't listen with their ears."
"You're doing experiments on us?" Han Chang was a little surprised.
"This is a helpless move. I just thought of it for a moment. I have no intention of harming anyone. Go help that girl first. You guys should run away quickly. We can still delay here for a while."
Shen Wenzheng said sternly: "What kind of sorcery are you doing?! You can make such monsters do your bidding. What do you want!"
"If I wanted to harm you, I would have secretly ordered them to attack you. You first go to the teahouse on the east side - the only one open. I passed by there. I will explain it to you later. If you don't look for medicine, ,The girl’s injury will be worse.”
It is understandable that Shen Wenzheng is so angry. Her daughter was almost attacked by a monster just now. Thanks to Miss Ling Huan's kindness and kindness, she was attacked immediately. It was also her own responsibility to fail to protect her daughter. She had no one to blame. What's more, for Ling Huan For the safety of Huan and her daughter, she had to evacuate this place. Did Xie Zhe and Han Zhang not think so? It was helpless to leave like this, but there was no other way. Although there were many of them, who could be left with this woman? They confronted each other, but no one wanted to leave Ling Huan alone and argue with this woman of unknown origin. What if she really knew some terrible magic?
They quickly left and went to the teahouse on the east side. The woman did not lie to them, there was indeed only one teahouse open. There were only two tables of people sitting there, which combined were as many as them. They ran to the second floor and ordered whatever they wanted. After drinking tea, Han Zhang asked the waiter about the nearest medical center to get some medicine. Fortunately, Ling Huan didn’t seem to feel any discomfort so far. She only had a little skin breakage, not much blood, but it was very painful from being pinched. It left a mark. Shen Wenzheng felt really uncomfortable looking at it.
"I'm really sorry, Miss Ye. If something goes wrong with you, I am really...how can I bear such a great kindness? Come on, kowtow to my sister."
I am afraid that this kind of Jianghu woman will never do such a thing easily. As the saying goes, a man has gold at his knees, and the same is true for a daughter. Still knowing who saved her, she knelt down neatly. Ling Huan immediately stood up and pulled her, hurriedly explain:
"No way! It's not a big deal for me, and it's not like I was bitten by a corpse. If that's the case, why don't you kowtow in front of my grave? It's because I'm too confident and think I can push it away. I went up to it stupidly, but unexpectedly I was caught by it, hahaha..."
"You're still laughing." Xie Zhe sighed several times, "Oh, don't do this kind of thing again next time."
Later, Han Zhang came back with the medicine and gave it to the kitchen to cook and applied it to Ling Huan. He kept it secret and didn't say what it was for. When he came back, he explained to Xie Zhe and others that no one else should know about it. When he was getting medicine, the people at the pharmacy were asking questions, because they were foreigners, and no one would protect them if someone got infected. People are now panic-stricken, and if anything goes wrong, they may be reported to the government immediately. Han Shang only said that he was prepared for any emergencies and prepared them first. Those people followed the previous prescription for detoxifying and reducing fever. He said that this could also be used to apply external wounds before, but it was actually bitten and it was of little use.
After applying the medicine, Ling Huan carefully pulled back his sleeves to cover the gauze, so that no one would see anything strange. They sat for a while, talked, drank some tea, and began to wonder whether the woman would come.
"I guess they just sent us away, so why are we here?" Shen Wenzheng said angrily, "They are probably from outside like us, otherwise the news would have spread all over the town."
"It's not necessarily a good thing that she is making such a public statement and letting people from the government see it. I don't think she would take such a big risk to do such a thing. But whether she will come to see us is another matter. I'm probably afraid. Let’s extort her money.”
Han Shan sneered: "Humph, who says it's not the case? Although the sound of the piano has a spiritual energy, I can't tell what kind of magic it is. The shamisen looks like an ordinary piano. But...she
When you say 'not listening with your ears', does it mean some other kind of resonance?"
Ling Huan thought to herself, it turns out this is shamisen. She didn't say it out loud because she was a little afraid that everyone would laugh at her.
