Chapter Twenty-Five: The Eerie Alley
Zhong Yueyun ran and ran for a long time. But I don't know where to run, how many times my head hit the street corner, and a lot of green dirt was added to my fairy-like face. Along the way, she crossed many gutters, alleys, and forks in the road, looking for a way out of the stenching stone path that looked like a vegetable market, and was terrified. She looked back, and the good people had already been thrown a few streets by her, and she suddenly felt grateful for the intricacies of the streets.
If you catch him, you'll die! If you are caught, you will still be alive, and if you are caught by a monk, you will not be scattered! My father said that in the face of adversity, the most important thing is to never give up. She won't give up, she has to honor her father, apologize to her sister, and Zhou Qingzhan, he will understand her last resort. She begged her sister... Ask the emperor to break their marriage contract... Yes, surely... He said that he wanted to grow old with her, and she would do whatever it took to be with him!
Zhong Yueyun stopped and gasped for breath, she looked east and west, and every pore was in a state of high vigilance. Carefully groping for directions with his ears pricked up.
"Ahh Not ......"
Zhong Yueyun frowned, his face full of depression. One moment she was thanking for the complicated road, the next she wanted to curse it. I saw that the houses were staggered, and the dead ends and intersections were intertwined. One of her raised legs swayed from side to side, hesitating. The clothes on his body were wet with stinky water, and the skin was bitterly cold, and he didn't forget to exude a bad smell. Zhong Yueyun twisted it again, carrying the part to keep it away from the skin, but after letting go, it stuck it back on, still cold. She sighed and left it alone. At this moment, she is in a dilemma, smelly and dirty in the intricate dark streets and alleys, unable to move forward, it is definitely the embarrassment that those nobles in Beijing have never had in their lives, and it will not be embarrassment in the future, right?
"Pick it, pick one. No matter what the situation, there is always something to move forward. Zhong Yueyun secretly cheered herself up, and felt a little more relaxed.
As the night deepened, the whirring cold wind swept by, accompanied by the rustling of dense branches and leaves, and I didn't know what small insects were wailing beside me. At this time, Zhong Yue happened to see a dim light flickering at the end of a narrow alley, one bright and one dark, like the beating of a dying old man's heart, the last ray of light struggling......
Zhong Yueyun looked at this alley, the alley was sloping, and it was not the bluestone paved road on the street, but a dirt road, which seemed to be the worst one in a few days. Zhong Yueyun gritted his teeth and walked forward, and after just a few steps, he found that there seemed to be a lot of black shadows floating in front of him. Zhong Yueyun was creepy, and when he looked closely, it seemed that something strange was crawling, and there was a slight sound. There seemed to be a faint moan in that dark and distant corner. Zhong Yueyun's delicate skin was covered with small bumps.
The unidentified objects crawled towards the flickering light at the end of the street, like a hungry man crawling towards the only bowl of rice in the world. Zhong Yueyun turned around and wanted to choose a new path, but found that it was pitch black all around, and there was only a faint light on this road. She turned slowly and walked forward.
"It's... What is this place? It can't be Shura Hell, right? Am I already dead? Zhong Yueyun shook his head, "No, no, no, I remember what happened just now." It's clearly human—" She walked slowly with heavy steps, and little by little she approached the slow-moving object on the ground. The wind blew on her skin, like rows of thin needles piercing her bones, bringing a numbing pain, and she reached out and scratched it.
It's close... It's close...
She looked cautiously, lightly, for fear that he would hear the movement.
"Ah, old woman!" Zhong Yueyun finally saw clearly what was wriggling, it turned out to be an old woman who was over half a hundred years old! The old woman slumped her legs, put her hands close to the ground, and squirmed forward on the ground. It's like being naughty when I was a child, catching an ant, and brutally pulling out its thin legs and then running away.
Zhong Yueyun remembered her father's soldiers. Her father never let her go to the barracks, but once she hid it so well that no one noticed. That time, in a special room, she saw many people like this poor man. She immediately cried, she was afraid, afraid that her father would be like this one day, she admired, admired the good sons of this room! In them she saw the cohesion of a nation!
That day, she quietly went back and didn't say anything. It's just that from then on, the money is no longer luxurious, and the money saved is secretly distributed to the poor.
Zhong Yueyun looked at the physically disabled old woman, showing sympathy and unbearability. Her father told her that everyone has compassion, and it is better to take a brave step forward than burying compassion deep in their hearts and only having a trace of regret for all things in the world. To do good deeds for others is to do good deeds for oneself.
She walked towards the poor old woman, and in the darkness and haze, the old woman's face gradually appeared from the darkness, and under the faint moonlight was a vicissitudes, pale face, covered with wrinkles, like a silver spider silk at the eaves. The old man's disabled body walked in the darkness with difficulty just by relying on his hands.
Zhong Yueyun approached her, slowly squatted down, and her lips opened slightly: "Old woman......"
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out silently on her side, unusually thin, with distinct knuckles, reflecting the white moonlight, as if from the claws of hell, slowly reaching out to this Zhong Yueyun, but she didn't know it.
The hand slowly approached, slowly approached...... Suddenly, I don't know what it was that suddenly grabbed her ankle, and the cold touch made Zhong Yueyun's heart tremble, and the scream blurted out like that: "Ah......"
But Zhong Yueyun was not the only one who was frightened, and this scream frightened the hand that suddenly let go. The old woman seemed to be frightened, too.
I don't know when, dark clouds rose in the sky, and at this time slowly covered the moon, making this small place even darker. Zhong Yueyun's half-squatting body suddenly fell to the ground, and the trees and soil rotted together, trapping her hand. She turned her head in shock to look at the place where she had pulled the thing just now, the face that met her eyes was dirty and thin, and she couldn't see her age clearly, but with a pair of black and white eyes, she saw Zhong Yueyun looking at him as if she had suddenly woken up, and hurriedly held a rotten tile in her hand and shouted to her: "Okay, girl, okay!"
