Chapter 30: Unspeakable Terror
At noon, Hua Chen came back from outside with an umbrella, her face was pale, and she was actually walking with her feet.
"Master, where have you been?" Bai Jing was helping the peasant woman fetch water, and when he saw Hua Chen, he immediately put the bucket in his hand aside and hurriedly ran in front of Hua Chen.
As soon as Bai Jing approached, Hua Chen fell straight into Bai Jing's arms as if he had no bones, and the flower umbrella in his hand fell to the ground, and the umbrella was full of blood-red blood.
"Master?" Bai Jing looked down at Hua Chen, tried to scream, and found that Hua Chen had passed out in his arms.
What happened last night? Why did Hua Chen become like this? It's really puzzling.
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Bai Gongzi, your lady has been in a coma for five days, and she hasn't eaten a drop of water, will it ......" The peasant woman was embroidering flowers outside, looking at the white scene of grilled fish from time to time.
"No, it won't." Bai Jing said with great certainty.
Seeing that Bai Jing was so sure, the peasant woman stopped talking, but muttered in her heart, ordinary people would starve to death if they didn't eat or drink for five days, why are people like fairies in here okay, is she really an immortal?
The aroma of grilled fish slowly spread into the room, and the eyelashes of the person lying on the bed moved slightly.
"I'm so hungry." Hua Chen walked out of the house, she touched her stomach, her expression was very simple, her eyes were like a baby, simple and innocent.
"Wake up, finally wake up." When the peasant woman saw Hua Chen get up, she immediately put down the embroidery in her hand and turned into the house to look for the dishes and chopsticks.
Hua Chen sat in front of Bai Jing, stretched out his hand to ask for grilled fish, his jade hand on his cheek, and looked at Bai Jing with his eyes.
At this moment, Bai Jing couldn't stand it anymore, and he coughed, "You haven't told you where you went that night." This sentence is his only insistence, as long as he repeats it, he can't stand it anymore.
Hua Chen's eyes turned and saw the flower umbrella not far away, she took the flower umbrella and opened it under the scorching sun.
The blood stains in the flower umbrella were faintly flowing, as if they were alive.
"This is ......" Bai Jing stared blankly at the flower umbrella, not knowing how to understand what he saw.
"No." Hua Chen closed the flower umbrella and reached out to ask for the grilled fish.
Bai Jing really didn't know what to say this time, he handed the grilled fish to Hua Chen's hand, but he didn't dare to take his eyes off the flower umbrella.
What is the blood flowing in this umbrella? Is it still a living thing?
Hua Chen, who knew everything he really wanted to do, sat aside and concentrated on eating grilled fish, like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, and it was probably not easy for her to tell him everything.
It's not easy, Bai Jing tried to learn something from Hua Chen's mouth in the past, and she could always make him angry enough.
Suddenly, the flower umbrella suddenly smoked, and the black smoke came out of the flower umbrella little by little, disappearing into the sky and the earth. After a while, only one umbrella bone remained.
Bai Jing knew that this living creature must have disappeared, and it would definitely be lost in the future.
"Master, there is one thing I want to tell you, I want to bring my aunt with us, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Yes." Hua Chen didn't hesitate and agreed to Bai Jing.
On the road again, there was one more peasant woman, and Bai Jing promised that the peasant woman would take her to Dragon City, and when she got there, she would find a place to live.
There are few pedestrians along the way, the closer you get to the former Golden Rooster City, the more barren it becomes, the people here seem to have left, and now the remaining half of the empty city, is there any people in the Golden Rooster City?
The walls were ruined, and the gates were wide open, and not a single person entered or exited inside, only the sound of the howling wind.
"This Golden Rooster City is really unfavorable, a good city, if you say no, it will be gone." The peasant woman carried the burden on her shoulders, and could only sigh a few words about the current situation in Jinji City.
"Auntie, we'll take you to Dragon City first, and then go elsewhere after you settle down."
"I've met a kind person, but I don't have any relatives in Dragon City, I don't know anyone, and I don't know ......," the peasant woman was worried about her own fate.
"I have a friend in Dragon City, if you don't dislike it, you can help over there."
"Really? Then I won't worry. The peasant woman's face was full of smiles, and after sweeping away her previous worries, the whole person looked a lot brighter.
Hua Chen, dressed in white, followed behind the two and entered the Imperial Dragon City, the gate of the Imperial Dragon City is not far from the dilapidated Golden Rooster City gate, the Royal Dragon City is the first city to open seven gates, the more gates, the more powerful the country.
Walking into the Dragon City, a soaring flying dragon was placed in the center of the city gate, lifelike, shining with golden light, there was no guard next to it, the people guarding the city gate were not far away, but no one stopped the people from stroking the dragon.
"Oh my God, it looks like it's made of gold, it's real gold." When the peasant woman first entered the Dragon City, she was shocked to see the golden flying dragon.
Bai Jing also came here for the first time, this golden dragon made him feel very incredible, this dragon city is not called the dragon city, there is really a dragon in the city, although it is only carved, but this lifelike dragon is really eye-opening.
According to the description in the letter, Bai Jing inquired a lot with the people in the Dragon City before he found out the location of the tavern, and when he got there, it was already dark, and the lanterns in the tavern were hung out, and the orange-yellow light came out, as if leading people to that direction.
"Forget the Worries Tavern, this is it." Bai Jing took out the name of the tavern on the letter and looked at it, and finally said confidently, he glanced back at the peasant woman and Hua Chen, the peasant woman kept looking at Bai Jing, but Hua Chen's eyes kept staring at the lantern at the door of the tavern.
The lantern is no different from the usual lantern, and Bai Jing looks at it and stops looking at it.
"Let's go inside." Bai Jing beckoned the two of them in.
When the people in the tavern saw Bai Jing, they greeted him.
"A few guest officers, please come in, please come in." The shopkeeper said enthusiastically, wiped the table and let a few people take their seats.
Bai Jing walked straight to the shopkeeper, "Do you know a person named You Yinmin?" Probably in his forties. Bai Jing asked.
The shopkeeper was settling accounts, and when he heard Bai Jing's words, he raised his head and looked at Bai Jing with a pair of eyes that had gone through vicissitudes, he stared at Bai Jing's face for a while, and suddenly smiled.
"It turned out to be the Bai family, please sit down." The shopkeeper is even more enthusiastic than the second little one who just shopped.
"You know me?" Bai Jing didn't know this very popular-looking man.
"I don't know you, but the Bai family is my benefactor, and I am the wandering hermit you are looking for." The shopkeeper sat down and poured Bai Jing a cup of tea.
"It turned out to be you, it's like this, this aunt's family has suffered an accident, and now she is lonely, I want her to live here temporarily, help on weekdays, at least have a place to live." Bai Jing introduced the peasant woman to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper asked the peasant woman a few questions, and then agreed with satisfaction, and asked the shopkeeper to arrange for the peasant woman to stay, and the peasant woman knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to thank her, and was helped up by the shopkeeper before leaving with the shopkeeper.
"You're here this time, but you want to get your things back?" When the peasant woman left, You Yinmin chatted with Bai Jing seriously.
"No, since it was given to you by my grandfather, it naturally has his intentions, if it weren't for the time, I wouldn't have come to pick it up." Bai Jing remembered the contents of the letter and didn't mention anything, but he didn't seem to want to give him anything when he saw the shopkeeper, and Bai Jing didn't know what it was, so naturally he wouldn't want it.
This shopkeeper is a friend that Bai Jing's grandfather made when he went out to travel in the early years, and now in the past twenty years, he can still remember the appearance of the Bai family, which is very good.
"I'll definitely hand it over to you when the time comes, it's useless to keep this thing here, but it's still somewhat emotional." As the shopkeeper spoke, his eyes fixed on the lantern at the door of the tavern.
Under the lantern, Hua Chen looked up at the lantern intently, as if he wanted to take it off to find out.
"This is the person who walked with me." Bai Jing introduced.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then understood, smiled and nodded, "Tonight, I will ask the guy to prepare two rooms for you, you can live here for the time being, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, as long as you can do it, I will not give up my opinion." ”
"No, we're leaving now, and there's some important things to do." Bai Jing stood up and walked to Hua Chen's side.
"Okay, then I won't keep you." The shopkeeper nodded, as if he understood what Bai Jing was going to do.
Leaving the tavern, Hua Chen's eyes kept looking back at the lantern.
"Master, what's wrong with you? If you like lanterns, I'll buy you one. ”
Hua Chen shook his head, "That's not an ordinary lantern. Then he stopped talking.
This sentence caused Bai Jing to also glance back at the lantern hanging at the door of the tavern, no matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary lantern, and it is no different.
The dark night, the dilapidated city, the cold wind howling, this day unconsciously cooled down, the sun was shining in the daytime, and there would be gusts of wind at night.
Walking in the desolate city, Bai Jing has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and he always feels that there is an indescribable horror in this Golden Rooster City.
The two of them came to a remote mansion together, Hua Chen pushed the door in, stood at the door but didn't leave.
In the courtyard, more than twenty people dressed in black were waiting for them.
"I've been waiting for a long time." A purple dress said coquettishly.
"It's a ghost." When Bai Jing saw the man, he immediately put away the smile on his face and faced the visitor with a cold face.
It's just that I still wonder in my heart, how can they be waiting here? This half of the Golden Rooster City is not big, and it is not small.
Seeing these people, Hua Chen suddenly smiled, "You guys are so interesting. Hua Chen covered his mouth and smiled.
"Hmph, today I made it difficult for you to fly." The woman in purple said confidently.
Hua Chen raised her hand, and several insects were thrown to the ground by her.
"Dementor, no wonder you're so confident." Bai Jing's pupils shrank when he saw the insects on the ground.
