Chapter 55: Old Street II
The old street extends in all directions, and the end of each fork is an exit, the asphalt road with a slight pothole, the yellow lacquer lines on both sides are blurred, and the old locust trees with thick trunks cover the sun, and also shroud the wooden old-fashioned houses around them, some of them seem to be crumbling and slightly tilted, but walking in the meantime, it gives people a sense of inexplicable historical intimacy, savoring carefully, and can smell a unique aroma of mahogany, which is refreshing. Flash Dance
And Zirou, who was walking in it at this moment, suddenly glanced at the bagged food in front of the tricycle on the side of the road, picked up a potholed hard cake from it, and asked curiously: "Lin Hao, what is this?"
Oh! Lin Hao smiled and said, "Stone cake!"
Stone cake? Zirou repeated the word, frowned slightly, and looked at the cake in her hand that was already covered with black spots due to dampness, "Can stones also make cakes?"
Ha ha! Lin Hao shook his head and explained: "Of course, it is not made of stones, but is heated with specific stones and used as the bottom of the pot to bake the cake base.
Is it tasty? Zirou glanced at the stone cake, then looked at Lin Hao with beautiful eyes, and asked blankly.
Lin Hao nodded and said, "It's okay, it's crispy and fragrant, but if you eat too much, it's a little dry!"
It's amazing, I really want to take a bite! Zirou looked at the soft stone cake in her hand, imagined what it was, swallowed a small mouthful, and muttered to herself.
Seeing Zirou in a daze at the stone cake, Lin Hao said: "This is already damp, wait and see if there is any preserved, you can taste it!"
Hearing this, Zirou smiled sweetly at Lin Hao, revealing her silver-white teeth, "Okay!" ”
Looking at the gentle smile in front of him, for some reason, Lin Hao's heartstrings trembled violently, and then he quickly lowered his head and walked forward.
Walking slowly, there was no one all the way, and the atmosphere was lonely and cold, but Zirou's originally slightly scared and reserved psychology was completely let go at the moment, with a curious face, and jumped up and down to beckon Lin Hao to hurry up. When he turned a corner and saw all kinds of trinkets on the wooden shelves of the old house next to him, his eyes lit up, and he was as surprised as if he had discovered a new continent, and stretched out his hand and said, "Wow, sachet!" Immediately, the pale green nails carefully touched the exquisite handmade zodiac sachets, and the corners of his mouth were also filled with a smile.
At that moment, Zirou kept comparing the sachets, turned her head and asked, "Lin Hao, which zodiac are you?"
Chicken official! The tip of Lin Hao's nose was rushed by the slightly pungent smell of the sachet, and he frowned.
Hearing this, Zirou picked out a golden rooster sachet and handed it to Lin Hao, reminiscing: "I saw sachets when I was a child, and I never saw them again when I grew up, I heard the old man say that sachets can repel mosquitoes and insects, and can also bless peace, I also want to bring one to my mother, she is a sheep, here are a few sheep-shaped sachets, Lin Hao, which one do you see?" After finishing speaking, he held one in one hand and put it in front of Lin Hao's eyes.
The one on your left hand! Lin Hao thought for a moment and suggested.
Why? Zirou looked at the blue trimmed lamb in her left hand.
Lin Hao explained with a smile: "Sachets are memories of childhood, every mother also has a childhood, after reading this, you will remember the happy past when you were a child, and people will become more optimistic!" I don't know why, after finishing the words, the corners of Lin Hao's eyes with a half-grinning smile were astringent, and his mother's kind back suddenly appeared in front of him, making him unable to extricate himself.
Oh, yes! Zirou held the sachet in her hand and muttered to herself. Then he clenched the cute sachet in the shape of a lamb, pursed the corners of his mouth, and his heart was slightly tingling.
The two were emotionally sympathetic, silent for a moment, seeing that Zi was silent, Lin Hao, who got rid of his depression, thought that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly stepped forward to comfort: "I think so, of course, the most important thing is you, otherwise I will ask someone to take a bag and put all these back, you pick slowly."
Zirou shook her head and said, "That's it, my mother will definitely like it." Speaking of this, Zirou glanced at Lin Hao and said, "Lin Hao, what about your mother, won't you pick one for her?"
Lin Hao didn't want to share his sadness with her, so his face turned white, and he waved his hand and said, "My mother has a sachet, she doesn't need it!"
Oh! Zirou was disappointed.
Maybe the old man is always outdated, so the things on the old street are also outdated and quaint, but it is precisely this obsolescence that gives Zirou Lin Hao and the two a different kind of nostalgia, and their hands touch the red lacquered pillars of the old attic from time to time, feeling the temperature on them. I seemed to hear the warm laughter of the old man in my ears again, under the locust tree, the rickety back of the bridge player never left, whose children were fighting and scolding the street again, everything brought the two back to the beautiful and warm times of the past.
Zirou walked silently to another fork in the road, the light breeze blew, the air was also filled with the fragrance of acacia flowers, the gadgets along the way made Zirou even more dizzying, her hands and neck were covered with jade pendants and Anxi's unique peace card, walking and shaking, innocent eyes squinted slightly, full of childishness.
Lin Hao, what is this? Zirou asked when she saw the tight-fitting gorgeous clothes in front of a store.
Lin Hao took a closer look and said, "There are a lot of ** in Anxi, this is the clothing of ** girls, they all wear this when fasting!"
I'm going to wear it too! Zirou's hand caressed the satin-like smooth garment covered with sparkling pendants, and looked at Lin Hao with a longing look.
Lin Hao looked at his watch, it was almost five o'clock, and he was going back when he waited, so he should fulfill Zirou's last wish. At that moment, he snapped his fingers at the guards in the distance and told them to go to the back room to investigate, and at the same time warned Zirou seriously: "It's not too early, we have to go back after changing our clothes."
Kindness! Zirou nodded obediently, but Yixin threw herself on the exquisite costume, imagining what she would look like in her.
After a while, the guard returned, stretched out his hand, and gestured, indicating that it was okay. But seeing this, Lin Hao was not at ease, he personally went in and took a turn, the back room is the bedroom of the boss's family, it can be seen that it is a devout *** believer, the wall is hung with a *** calendar, the pattern is a mosque, an old-fashioned dry yellow Koran is placed in the center, the bed table is also tidy, and there is a faint smell of incense. Seeing that there was no danger, Shan Wu asked Zirou to go to the back room to change clothes, and she stood outside the door to guard.
After a while, Zirou, who had changed her clothes, opened the door and walked out, her little face was shy and bowed her head silently, obviously not sure if her clothes looked good with her.
To tell the truth, Lin Hao couldn't recognize the new Ziroulai for a while, the tip of his nose smelled the unique faint aroma of **, the long hair in front of him was soft and slightly curly, covered with a silk hijab, covering the pink neck, and the pure white hijab embedded with gold edges was embroidered with elegant flowers and plants, which looked fresh and beautiful, plus Zi Rou's big eyes blinked and blinked, and he summoned long live with a little cuteness Read the full text. As for the ** girl's clothes do not like to be charming, most of them are mainly black, blue and white, and the soft body is a milky white cardigan, embroidered at the placket, with bright colors, realistic images, bright piping, and the finishing touch. Although it is a little old-fashioned, it can be matched very well under the beautiful face of the soft sky without modification, and the sweet smile that gently emerges at the corner of the mouth is like a hibiscus out of the water, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly.
Zirou saw Lin Hao's eyes flashing with surprise, knowing that the effect of the costume was good, at the moment, she came to the mirror, went around a few circles, and admired herself.
Seeing that Zirou was almost playing, Lin Hao eased his nerves and reminded, "It's time to go!" ”
Zirou obviously forgot the promise just now, pursed her pink lips, walked out of the wooden house, and said with a bit of begging: "Turn around again, I'm not tired yet?"
Lin Hao frowned and looked at his watch, and said tolerantly: "Then ten minutes, you must go back at the point."
All right! After finishing speaking, Zirou walked and danced in a delicate and refined costume, and from time to time she made a funny gesture of a Uyghur girl putting her chin down when she danced to Lin Hao, which really made Lin Hao a little crying and laughing, thinking that the little girl was really stuffy.
Not long after leaving, Zirou suddenly pointed to an ancient temple with mottled blue brick and red tile walls hidden behind the ancient building, and said with surprise: "Lin Hao, there is a temple there!"
Don't go, just take a look! Lin Hao looked at the several gloomy funeral shops next to them, and the dark path leading to the temple was sandwiched between them, and the reconnaissance battalion must not have cleaned them, so it was impossible to avoid whether there were any zombies there.
Seeing this, Lin Hao sighed helplessly, and quickly ordered the soldiers to go to arm, and at the same time he quickly followed Zirou's pace, took out the gun from his back, and was on guard.
It is said that it is a temple, in fact, there is only a dilapidated incense burner, a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva that has fallen with gold paint, the main hall is narrow, no one cleans the dust all over, and the mud paint is mottled all around, which looks very down.
Zirou didn't dislike it, kneeling on the yellow satin cushion with a reverent face, bowing three times, for some reason, Zirou's beautiful national costume was not the slightest eye-catching here, but it was the innocent look that was as quiet as a virgin, which made people's heartstrings tremble.
Lin Hao also knelt down, and the moment he looked up, he saw two tear stains on his soft and white face, pear blossoms and rain, which made people feel extremely distressed, he didn't know what made this seemingly happy girl so sad.
After being silent for a long time, Zirou's voice was a little cold, and she asked, "Lin Hao, do you have any wishes?"
I have, and I want everyone around me to be happy! As he spoke, Lin Hao's face appeared in his mind, and his expression couldn't help but be slightly lost.
Including me? Zirou asked.
Lin Hao smiled: "Of course it includes!"
Thank you, Lin Hao! Zirou's words are sincere.
Hearing this, Lin Hao suddenly felt that this seemingly naughty and savage girl had a kind of bitterness in her heart that she couldn't see, at this moment, she was filled with a faint sadness, Lin Hao didn't understand, but she could feel the powerlessness of facing sadness, it seemed that she had spent it like this for a long time.
The sky was getting dark, and Lin Hao saw that it was already half past five, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and said in an eager tone: "Miss Zirou, we should go back, otherwise it will be too dangerous when it gets dark."
Kindness! Zirou responded unexpectedly well-behaved, and then got up, with a faint sentimentality on her face.
And just when the two of them just stepped out of the temple, in an instant, ah! A soldier's terrible roar suddenly sounded from not far away, resounding through the sky, and then, there were bursts of gunfire all around, and the sound was fierce, making people's hearts tremble.
What's wrong? Lin Hao asked Zirou to stay where she was, and he went out to ask the soldiers.
The soldier pointed to the head of the room with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "Ghost corpses!
Following the direction, Lin Hao saw several black shadows jumping flexibly on the roof, and couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, waved his hand and shouted: "Escort Miss Zirou back to the car to read the full text!"
After finishing speaking, more than a dozen guards guarded Lin Hao and Zirou inside, and ran quickly towards the avenue, and the silver-white Buick sedan was already waiting at the crossing.
However, the ghost corpse obviously didn't want to let go of any prey so easily, seeing that Lin Hao's group of people wanted to escape, grinning the corners of his scarlet mouth, and jumping around, he actually pounced into the queue from mid-air from an eaves, because the speed was too fast, and it was so fast that everyone at the intersection relaxed slightly, and no one reacted for a while, but he heard the whistling wind in his ears, and the tip of his nose also smelled a slight fishy smell, and his heart was secretly not good, but the action was always a little slower.
Lin Hao was the first to realize it, and immediately, he took out the sharp and shining silver knife on his waist, stabbed the ghost corpse fiercely, and hit the ghost corpse in the back with a knife, blood spurted out like a pillar, and the ghost corpse was stimulated by the stinging pain, screaming and roaring, and his anger was high, twisting his body and grinning at Lin Hao.
But at this time, Lin Hao didn't dare to flash, because behind him was Zi Rou, who was trembling with fright, suddenly, Lin Hao was a little annoyed why his hands were so cheap, but now there was no way, subconsciously raised the gun, aimed at the hideous face of the ghost corpse, and sent out a shuttle of bullets, and the bullets hit the head of the ghost corpse one by one, instantly killing the ghost corpse, but under the action of inertia, the ghost corpse still pounced on Lin Hao, indirectly with Zi Rou, and fell to the ground fiercely, as for Lin Hao, he was covered in blood, his face was hot, and the hand holding the gun was still trembling.
Seeing this, the soldiers rushed over, helped Lin Hao and Zirou up, did not dare to hesitate, quickly helped back into the car, pulled the car door, and then hurriedly called the military doctor to see if the two were injured.
At this moment, Zirou, who was sitting in the car, had a lot of blood on her face, her body curled up in a ball, her teeth couldn't stop chattering, and her little face was pale and pitiful.
Lin Hao leaned on the co-pilot, turned his head to look at Zirou, and felt relieved when he saw that there was no big problem. But just as she was looking back, she suddenly saw a cut in her arm. Seeing this scene, Lin Hao's eyes were stunned, his scalp was numb, and the person seemed to be frozen and motionless, and his brain was hit by a heavy hammer and he couldn't speak. When she came to her senses, she directly ignored the rough stride from the front left seat to the back seat, and did not consult Zirou's thoughts, and quickly tore open her sleeves, it should be that after the zombie fell, the claws accidentally scratched Zirou, fortunately, the ghost corpse was dead and had little strength, and Zirou's ** outfit was strong, so that her Ruxue skin was just scratched through a small mouth, and the scarlet blood leached out, leaving blood marks on the white skin, which had a cruel beauty. However, Lin Hao didn't dare to be careless, the infection of corpse transformation was very fast, especially the mutated zombies, so the whole body was shivering at this moment.
Lin Hao, what's wrong? Zirou also seemed to realize something, and asked uneasily.
No, nothing! Lin Hao shouted, at this moment, the military doctor also came, and when he saw this small wound, he instantly realized something, his face was pale, and he was stunned in place.
Is there a bandage for disinfectant?
Yes. The military doctor trembled and handed the disinfectant and bandages to Lin Hao.
Quickly took it, Lin Hao did not hesitate for a moment, tied the bandage to Zirou's little arm to prevent blood circulation, and at the same time lowered his head and sucked Zirou's wound, striving to wash out the venom a little bit, sucking it almost enough, and then poured the disinfectant on Zirou's arm.
Zirou looked at this scene, for some reason, although her face was a little shy, she felt extremely warm in her heart, and at the same time she couldn't understand why Lin Hao made such a fuss about a small wound.
What a hair, drive! Lin Hao treated Zirou's wounds, and when he saw that the driver was looking at this scene blankly, he couldn't help but scold.
Being scolded by this, the driver came to his senses and drove away quickly, while Zirou whispered like a child on the side: "Lin Hao, just a small wound, not like this!"
You don't understand, you don't understand! Lin Hao muttered to himself, there were still traces of Zirou blood at the corner of his mouth, and for some reason, his heart was like a knife for a while, and his face was painful.
Zirou looked at Lin Hao's resolute and vicissitudes of life, and felt that she couldn't understand Lin Hao, this man seemed to have too much pain in his heart. But with him, Zirou's heart is still a lot more stable. At that moment, he stopped talking, leaned close to Lin Hao, turned his head in a daze, the remnant sun outside the window was like blood, and the beauty made people's hearts palpitate.
