Chapter 3 Nine Streets and Alleys
The roofs are uneven, and the horse hunts over a few roofs to reach the Nine Streets and Alleys. The Nine Streets and Alleys almost traverse the Fasheng District, and it is a long alley, which is mostly filled with wealthy merchants' houses and academies, and the alley can barely accommodate horse-drawn carriages. Because the wealthy merchants mostly lived in independent courtyards, the buildings were very separated from each other, high and low, and there were ponds, willow trees, and various alleys that branched out in the middle, so there were no horizontal roofs to connect them.
When the horse fell to the ninth street and alley, the sky was bright and sunny at this time, but there was not a single pedestrian in the huge alley. Countless debris, garbage, and decomposing corpses littered the road. There was the buzzing of flies everywhere, but the banners of each academy were still there.
When the sun shines, half of the alley is dark, and half of the alley is bright.
Hunting Ma slowed down, knowing that there might be walking corpses in the pile of corpses lying here. The walking corpse attacks people very quickly, and if it suddenly erupts, it may not be able to stop itself.
He pulled out his knife and tried not to get close to the pile of corpses. Suddenly, he heard a familiar hiccup behind a pillar in the shadows on one side.
The corpse decomposes, and for a period of time, it will continue to emit a hiccup sound. Hunting Horse flipped the knife so that it swirled along his wrist, and then quietly circled to the side of the walking corpse. The walking corpse spotted him, and at the moment of lunging, the horse hunter raised his knife and cut off half of the corpse's head. Then he did not stop, but continued to walk, and soon came to the door of the library.
This is a very large building, the door is open, and there are at least a dozen walking corpses inside, squeezing the entrance of the library building, because the threshold is too high, so the corpses are stuck outside the building with the threshold above the knee. The building was seven or eight stories high, and all the windows and doors were closed, and no living person was seen.
If there are still guards alive, a sentry post should be made on the third or fourth floor, so that if there are survivors around them who are burning fires at night, they can see them. If the walking corpse gathers, they can also find it in the first place. But now there is not a single sentry post, and the windows and doors are closed, and only the female dependents may be left. Xunma thought to himself, but he couldn't enter the building now, as long as there were more than two walking corpses and got closer, the chance of being bitten was very high.
He recalled that when he cleared the mountain, he was attacked by walking corpses in the cave at close range, and if it wasn't for the speed of his knife at that time, it would have rotted now. The knife was almost bitten to the brill, and it took a lot of money to recover it later. Thinking about it, he climbed onto the roof opposite the library building, pulled out the arrow, and shot an arrow at the windows on each floor.
As a result, the window on the top floor opened, and a young girl poked her head out to look around, looking for a horse and whispering: "Is Miss Su Rong here? ā
"Are you sent by Shen Gongzi's family in the south of the city?" the girl asked.
"No, I am a Betelgeuse cavalryman, not employed by a wealthy merchant. "Xun Ma Xin said, you should not be a fool, I said that I am Betelgeuse cavalry. Can't you understand people?
"That's not good, our young lady said, unless Shen Mo Gongzi in the south of the city comes in person, or someone sent by Shen Mo Gongzi to save her, she won't leave. "And my young lady is annoyed that the arrow you just shot at my lady's head and distorted her hair." ā
Xun Ma rang for a moment, a little doubtful that he had heard it wrong, he tried to reminisce for a while, and asked, "How many of you are?"
"Just me and Miss, our guards are on the first floor, and they are all dead. ā
"You are just two girls' homes, and the whole city is full of walking corpses, but you have to wait for a young man of Shen Mo to leave, your young lady is afraid that she is a pig's brain, right?" said Xunma.
The girl's face changed, and she took a sip and closed the window. Xunma felt amused in his heart, pulled out the arrow, pulled out the arrow, and shot three arrows in a row, and the window opened again, and the maid covered her forehead and scolded softly: "You are crazy!
Xun Ma said: "Is Shen Wei Gongzi the young lady's sweetheart?"
The girl said: "It's not Shen Gongzi, is it because you can't do it, Shen Gongzi is a talented man in the south of the city, have you ever heard the article of hitting the festival and singing endlessly, it was written by Shen Gongzi?"
Xunma has read for a few years, and he also knows who Shen Mo is, Shen Mo is a famous talent, ranked within the sixth place in Zhongzhou, and his family is a wealthy businessman, and his brother also works in the imperial city. Unexpectedly, Shen Mo actually had a leg with Su Rong.
"I know where Shen Gongzi is. Xunma said, "If your young lady can come with me, I will take her to see Shen Gongzi." The city is out of control, and he shouldn't be able to save your young lady. ā
Before she could finish speaking, the maid was grabbed by the hair and dragged back to the window, and another girl poked her head out: "Is this true?"
The girl just now was very pretty, and she could be regarded as a beauty. This girl has sharp edges on her face, which cannot be said to be beautiful, but her facial features are stiff, and she looks comfortable and clean in her eyes. Xun Ma Xin said that this must be Su Rong, so he nodded: "Miss Su is a dignitary, I am just a small soldier, I dare not lie to you." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Rong climb out of the window directly, and the maid shouted behind him: "Miss, don't, your stomach!"
Xun Ma immediately saw that Su Rong's belly was already bulging. He was dumbfounded, is this a child who has already been secretly knotted and is pregnant with Shen Gongzi? At this time, Su Rong had already climbed out and lay on the eaves of the second floor of the library building from top to bottom, and then saw that she was like a monkey, quickly turning down from the top floor, layer by layer, to the position on the second floor, and was at the same height as Xunma.
The maid collapsed and crawled out of the window, but was trapped on the edge of the eaves and could not get out again. Su Rong stood up on the tile eaves on the second floor, held his stomach on his head, and said to the top: "You remember to bring all the medical books down." Just looked at Xun Ma, "You hurry up, take me to see Shen Gongzi, the two of us are reunited, you have a lot of rewards." If he doesn't show up again, the child will be born. ā
"It'sā"
"I hid in the library building, pretending to see medical skills to find a way to get rid of the walking corpse, but I was actually afraid that my father would know that I had a big belly. Su Rong looked up at the maid and crawled back to get the book, "As a result, the walking corpses in the Nine Streets and Alleys broke out all of a sudden, and I was trapped here." In three months, my belly got bigger, it should be a son, during which many people passed by here, and I didn't dare to go out, for fear that others would see that I had a big belly and tell my father. ā
Xunma looked at Su Rong, and saw that she moved her shoulders and neck, and her movements were like a man, and she suddenly understood in her heart that this sister was a fool. Before he could react, Su Rong directly ran and jumped from the eaves where she was standing and jumped towards the roof where he was standing.
There was an entire gap between them, and humans would never be able to jump out, so Hunting Ma watched her fall and fall into the pile of walking corpses.
āX!ā Gunma scolded in his heart, and when he turned over and rolled down, he saw Su Rong falling into a pile of corpses, covered with corpse fluid, and the walking corpses on the side heard the movement and turned their heads. Xunma shot arrows quickly, and the three arrows knocked down all the three walking corpses on Su Rong's side, and then went over and hugged Su Rong.
In the darkness around them, countless walking corpses began to rush out at once, and they almost rushed towards the two of them. Almost at the same time, there was an exclamation above their heads, and the maid fell from the top floor to the second floor, holding a large stack of books, hitting the cornice buffer in the middle twice, and then falling to the ground from the second floor, and the blood began to seep out.
Xunma sighed in his heart, dead! The group of walking corpses was immediately attracted by this greater movement, and rushed to the corpse of the maid, Xunma took the opportunity to throw Su Rong directly to the eaves, and turned over himself. Looking back at the miserable condition of the maid, he saw that the maid turned over, rolled out from the feet of the corpses, and ran towards them at a very fast speed.
Looking at her movements, Xun Ma knew that this maid was a practitioner, and immediately took an arrow to cover, touched the bow and arrow, the bow and arrow were gone, turned his head and saw that Su Rong was already holding his bow, and took out an arrow from his waist, three of them were bitten in his mouth, and one of them was an arrow, and he shot down the walking corpse chasing behind the maid, and the action was smooth.
The corpse ran fast, and tripped over the group behind as soon as it fell, and the maid was able to get out, and one turned over on the eaves and hugged Su Rong: "Miss, I'm scared to death!"
At this time, the corpses had gathered at their feet, and even piled up. They all moved towards the rise, trying to grab the three of them.
