ACT 57: The City Wall

acT57: Before dawn on the city walls, a small group of people walked through the ruins of the city to an arched bridge that was not long, the railings carved with lifelike animal heads, and the gray and white marble steps became whiter in the moonlight.

Beneath the bridge was a churning moat, dark moss as far as the eye could see, and a pool of stagnant water trapped in the river emitted a disgusting smell.

Directly in front of the arched bridge, an arched city gate lies in front of it, the mottled ancient city gate is closed, the dark red lacquer surface is peeling off, and there are rows of dense copper nails at the top, but the bottom is as smooth as new, leaving dense holes.

The plaque embedded above the city gate has ancient seals

"Vermilion Bird Gate", after years of wind and frost baptism, every stroke is still clear, like a knife and axe, through the back of the paper.

The three girls who were tied together with hemp rope were pushed forward, and followed the indifferent man to the magnificent city gate, looking at the high wall and the stars, and their eyes showed a completely different meaning.

To be honest, Meng Fan regretted it at the moment, he shouldn't have choked with him in the temple before, maybe he had been with Song Jiu for too long, he was used to it, and he never took the indifferent man seriously from beginning to end.

As a result, the indifferent man slapped her hard with his actions, reminding her again that anyone who can survive in this world so far has absolutely no pure waste wood.

The pickup truck didn't drive far before it stopped, and the indifferent man didn't stop too long, ordered the militia to unload the supplies and distribute them, and led everyone on foot through the ghostly ruined city, all the way to the foot of the city wall without danger.

Mengfan has never been to this city, but she has heard Song Jiu say that his sister is in this city, and that was more than two years ago, Song Jiu had thought about coming here one day to find his sister, but then the long road was long, there were many people and many things, and he never heard him mention it again.

The world is impermanent, and I never thought that everyone would appear here in this way today. I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run, for this famous cultural capital, Mengfan does not know much, but he is by no means ignorant.

Her former friend here once said: travel here is not afraid of losing, because this city is square, along one direction, as long as you see the city wall, it means that you have entered the city.

During the day, the fake Taoist priest said that the temple is located in the suburbs, and there are many walking corpses in the city, and there is a city wall here, which means that behind the city wall should be the city center full of a large number of walking corpses.

Judging from the performance of the indifferent man all the way, he is obviously very familiar with this place, and the path and direction he chooses are purposeful, although it is difficult to walk, but he avoids many walking corpses.

In addition, Song Jiu said before that the indifferent man may be a breakthrough to find a new place to settle...... From this, it can be seen that behind the city wall should be his destination.

Meng Fan glanced at the pale Xu Aifei, the latter had a blank look in his eyes, obviously he didn't know anything about that guy's past, and at the moment he was in the 'rebels', this girl only had the fear of the road ahead, and basically couldn't help Meng Fan much.

It's that the acne girl is in a good mental state, and she sneered at the indifferent man all the way when she seized the opportunity, although it didn't play a substantive role, but at least it sounded quite happy...... Meng Fan secretly pinched Xu Aifei's hand and threw her a reassuring look, the latter was puzzled, looked down at her wrist, a light flashed in his eyes, and at the same time secretly scolded himself for not being bright enough.

The three girls have been messing around in the camp, and when they went out to collect supplies, Mengfan went to a dilapidated jewelry store to retrieve a large pile of jewelry and ornaments, and made several strings of beads in his spare time, and a string of people with good relationships.

Seeing that Mengfan's wrist was empty, Effie guessed that she must have found an opportunity to drop the code, but could that little bead guide Song Jiu and the others to find here?

Xu Aifei looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly lifted the lace cuffs, shook her bracelet, and asked Meng Fan with her eyes if she needed to disassemble it.

Meng Fan shook his head slightly, and the indifferent man standing under the city gate moved his mouth in front of him: "Don't be discovered by him." Effie didn't know what Mengfan's plans were, seeing that she looked confident, and remembered what she did in the dungeon, she suddenly gained a little confidence, so she didn't say more, and quickly rolled down the cuffs, covering the bracelet tightly, and the acne girl on the side learned from it, and secretly probed the tied hands to the hem of the clothes, and could hide them for a while.

The indifferent man paced around the city gate a few times, called over to a relatively thin militiaman, took his neck and walked to the corner of the outer wall near the side of the moat, pointed to a position about four meters high, and said: "You climb up, there is a loose brick there, pry the brick out, and use the lighter to light the lead inside." The militia was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that he was determined, he rolled up his sleeves and climbed up in disbelief.

There is a slope on the wall of the city wall, the bluestone like the steps is stacked on top of each other, the protruding finger width distance is just for people to step on and climb, in the past, you need to buy a ticket to see the lantern show on the city wall, there are always some brave people who climb the city wall in order to evade tickets, and the success rate is quite high.

The militiaman's tendons and flesh were not given in vain, and he began to shrink back a little, climbed two meters and found the feeling, so he accelerated his speed and panned like a spider man to the place pointed by the indifferent man, and took a closer look, and sure enough, he found an obvious depression between the moss-covered masonry, so he pulled out the dagger and inserted it into the brick joint, priing out the loose green brick.

"Brother Xiong, there's nothing in it." The militia reached in and dug it out, only touching their hands full of black ash.

"No, you can look for it again." The indifferent man was stunned and didn't believe in evil: "Look for it again, but if you can't find it, climb up directly!" The militia cursed secretly, the city wall must be at least more than ten meters high, and if the black light is blind, who is it if you miss and fall?

Helplessly, a group of militiamen are relying on him, and no matter how unhappy they are, they can only hold back.

"What does he want to do?" The acne girl was fat, touched the militia holding the rope beside her, and asked, "Which string did you play wrong, why did you mix with him?" ”

"Don't talk." The militia holding the rope looked a little embarrassed, Mengfan and Xu Aifei were not familiar with him, but the acne girl swaggered through the camp all day long, everyone looked up and didn't look down, they were more or less acquaintances, and they were still a little guilty when they were suddenly hostile.

"Do you have a conscience, your aunt didn't add food to you at the beginning, right?" The acne girl didn't give up, and pestered: "I don't embarrass you, tell me, what benefits did the stupid Boyi promise you?" Aren't you afraid that Song Jiu will give you three knives and six holes? ”

"Auntie, don't say a few words, I'll add a few more mouthfuls of food to you in the future." The leash militia must be in his thirties, with a little helplessness on his face, he glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "That Song wine is finished, the city is full of walking corpses, they will definitely go and never return!" ”

"He said you believed it? Then you didn't come to the city with him? Why didn't you think you didn't have enough brains before? The acne girl looked surprised and said strangely: "Give you a chance, kill that stupid Boyi, I'll give you a credit, and don't tell Song Jiu to sue you for being black." ”

"Well, you don't know." The leash militia seemed to have something unspeakable, and he couldn't say one, two, or three after a few babblings, but he was in a hurry, and reprimanded: "Guli, for the sake of our acquaintances, you don't say a word, I will try my best to take care of you." ”

"Phew." The acne girl didn't appreciate it at all, and took a sip and ignored him. Xin Mengfan gave her a thumbs up, blinked slyly, pointed at herself, and then pointed at the militia who was holding the rope, and made a look.

The acne girl understood, touched the militia cheekily, and said in a low voice: "How about letting Mengfan accompany you for one night?" You only make money and don't lose money, and you don't embarrass you, so it's convenient when the time is right? ”

"You, don't talk about it." The militia looked very tormented, and he didn't let the acne girl say more, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to Mengfan, how clever Mengfan was, he pulled the low-cut T-shirt at the right time and threw away an autumn spinach.

The militiaman swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his eyes almost glued to the snow-white, and the looming bra lace muddled his long-lonely man's heart.

The acne girl saw that there was a play, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Okay, do you want to add another Effie and open you a meat, one dragon and two phoenixes?" Xu Aifei has the skills of Mengfan, when she heard that the acne girl actually sold her, her pretty face instantly turned red, her ears were hot, and she glared at Gu Li fiercely.

"Don't talk about it yet." The militia was not tempted to be fake, and it was also hesitant to follow the indifferent man to split, but after Gu Li's provocation, ** had already beaten his reason and his face was swollen.

The acne girl stuck out her tongue with Mengfan, and the latter smiled knowingly and nodded slightly. Dealing with men, Mengfan is an absolute high rank, the militia's tone has softened, and it is estimated that he is making up for the fragrant scene that is destined not to happen at this time, and his eyes are straight.

This side is stirring the spring water, and the other side is still climbing the Jedi. The militia who made a makeshift cameo appearance in Spider-Man successfully climbed the city wall, gestured to the indifferent man below, and bravely touched the city gatehouse.

The indifferent man frowned, secretly praying that nothing would go wrong, and after waiting for a while, he vaguely heard the sound of rustling above the city wall, and after a while, a sleepy-eyed old face poked out of the pheasant.

The indifferent man was overjoyed, hurriedly waved his hand, and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Fifth brother, it's me!" Monkey! ”…… At about the same time, three cars drove through the deep long street and slowly stopped beyond the red wall and bricks.

The militia boys jumped out of the car one by one, the helpers carried them down from the operating table, Jiao Ziqian covered the thin quilt, his lips returned to blood, and he was sleeping deeply.

Liu Yan helped Cook Niangjia jump out of the car and walked to Luo Yu's car with a backpack full of surgical instruments.

"Tired, aren't you? Go back and get a good night's rest. "Liu Yan is in a good mood, Jiao Ziqian's condition has stabilized, and the unconventional blood transfusion has worked, at least he should be able to spend tonight safely.

Luo Yu sat in the heavy-duty off-road cab, although his face was tired slowly, but his cold eyes gradually condensed a layer of frost.

"Something's wrong." Luo Yu spat out a few words, 'Quack Quack' fiddled with the high beams, the flickering temple door reflected by the car lights was empty, and the door of the supermarket with the Red Cross logo on the opposite side of the street was open.
