Chapter 22: Lulu
In a cellar in Yucheng, an old man stuck to the mud wall and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement outside, at this time the outside of the cellar was very quiet, and he couldn't hear anything except his own heartbeat.
He bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the planks covering the cellar, and waited for a few more moments, not finding anything wrong. Then he lifted the plank, slowly poked his head out, and carefully probed around, and found that there was no one except a few corpses, and presumably the demon had left, and he crawled out of the cellar lightly.
The huge jade city and spacious streets can no longer see the bustle and prosperity of the past, leaving only devastation and corpses everywhere.
Occasionally, there was a gust of wind, but it was also cold and bleak.
The scrawny old man shuffled forward with heavy steps, his ragged clothes, yellow dirt sticking to the scattered silver threads, and a pair of old hands like the roots of an old tree were covered with dirt.
After the magic mutation occurred at that time, in order to protect his daughter and father, Ning Jingcheng stopped the three demon mutants and delayed the time to be bitten to death, so the old man had the opportunity to hide in the cellar with his granddaughter.
Ning Jingcheng's family was originally an official eunuch's family, but they were implicated in the Zichen Revolution at that time and were exiled here, and his wife left him because of this.
Twenty-seven days had passed since the time of the demonic transformation, and the remaining food in the cellar had already been eaten by the old man and his granddaughter, who had been hungry for more than two days.
Although there were footsteps or subtle screams every now and then, after a strong fighting yesterday, no sound came into the cellar, which gave the old man the courage to go out of the cellar.
——
Yang Qice was in pain, slowly opened his eyes, Yang Qice slowly stood up, rubbed his neck, and looked at the corpses everywhere in front of him, Yang Qice couldn't help but be a little surprised, he was obviously unconscious less than a foot away from the demon mutant approaching him, why did they die? Yang Qice looked around and found that the ghost dumb army beside him had also been cut off his head, and when he was shocked, he hurriedly picked up his horizontal knife from the ground and entered a state of preparation.
Yang Qice cautiously observed the surroundings and found that the heads of each corpse were behind the body, and the wounds were neat, as if they had been beheaded by someone at the same time. He was even more shocked in his heart, and his first thought was that such things could not exist in the world, but Yang Qice was immediately relieved, the magic change could happen, and what else could not happen.
Since he was still alive, he must not be interested in his own life. Yang Qice thought so, and then threw the horizontal knife in his hand to the ground and checked the injuries on his body.
Seeing that there was no injury on his body except for being soiled by black blood, Yang Qice was shocked, he clearly remembered that he had been bitten on his calf, but now except for the tattered clothes and pants, there was no injury, not even a bite mark....... How is this possible?
Suddenly, Yang Qice felt that his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground again in an instant, unconscious.
——
In the distance, the old man had been hiding in the corner and watching this scene, at first he mistook it for a demon mutant, and was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind a low wall.
After a long time, the old man heard a "clang", as if it was the sound of a weapon falling to the ground. He was scared and curious, and his fingers scratched at the mud wall, and he struggled for a while, and finally curiosity overcame fear, and he poked his head out and looked over.
Yang Qice also fell to the ground at this time......
After looking at it for a while, the old man found that there was no movement there, and his heart turned up, and he walked cautiously towards Yang Qice.
After getting closer, the old man crept down and carefully checked whether there was black blood on Yang Qice's body, and after seeing that Yang Qice only had the black blood on his body, the old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and probed Yang Qice's nose with his hand slightly, and found that there was still a slight breath, and immediately carried Yang Qice on his back.
——
After putting Yang Qice in the house, the old man went out again to explore the surroundings, as for Yang Qice's identity, the old man thought that he was just a small soldier.
The old man looked back at Yang Qice before going out, and shook his head slightly, presumably, the group of people who fought against the demon mutant people yesterday must be them, but unfortunately it seems that there is only one person left.
"Alas......"
After a pillar of incense, the old man had already explored the surroundings and found that there was indeed no demon to change people, and his hanging heart finally let go, and he came to the cellar and called his granddaughter up from the cellar.
Yang Qice also woke up at this time, although his body was fine, but Yang Qice felt weak and powerless, and he couldn't exert any strength.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, Yang Qice couldn't help but be vigilant. Seeing the old man leading his granddaughter into the door, Yang Qice immediately dragged his weak body and quickly got up and grabbed Ning Lulu's neck, and after finding out that it was an old man and a little girl, he quickly let go of his hand, and after slowly standing firm, he coughed awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry... Did you save me? ”
Ning Lulu was also frightened at this moment, and after Yang Qice let go, she immediately hid behind the old man and looked at Yang Qice in fear.
The old man was originally angry when he saw Yang Qice pinching his granddaughter, and just wanted to step forward to fight with him, but after seeing Yang Qice quickly let go and apologize, his anger disappeared without a trace in an instant, but he still said angrily: "Hmph, otherwise who saved you?" If it weren't for the fact that I saw you fighting to the death with those demon mutants, I would have let you get out of here now. ”
Yang Qice returned to the kang and sat down, although his face was expressionless, but his eyes also revealed a trace of embarrassment.
Suddenly, a demon mutant rushed into the door, and the old man was suddenly full of disbelief, he had just carefully probed the surroundings, why...... Seeing that the demon mutant wanted to bite his granddaughter, the old man immediately stepped forward to block it, Yang Qice was extremely weak now, and he didn't have time to step forward, and the old man's neck was bitten off immediately.......
"Ahh
Ning Lulu screamed in fear when she saw this, and then hurriedly pulled the demon mutant to separate her grandfather, but how much strength did a weak woman have? Seeing that the old man had lost his breath, the demon mutant changed his target and wanted to attack Ning Lulu.
Yang Qice finally arrived at this moment, picked up the horizontal knife that the old man had brought back with him, and slashed towards the demon mutant.
Between the lightning and flint, the head of the demon mutant was split in two. Yang Qice also hurriedly retreated back at this time, and it took about three or four steps to stabilize his body.
Ning Lulu saw her grandfather die...... Sitting in front of his grandfather's corpse and crying, Yang Qice immediately shouted coldly, "Shut up!" ”
Ning Lulu immediately choked up, looked at Yang Qice with a frightened face, and stopped crying, but the tears still couldn't stop falling.
