Chapter 25: The Vigil (Part II)
In the past few rabbit falls, two of the four ghost catchers have been damaged, and Fang Yue has also suffered a little bit of injury.
This injury could have been completely avoided, but Fang Yue lacked experience in fighting.
However, after a fight, Fang Yue had already established confidence, these four ghosts were fast, except for their strange bodies and difficult injuries with swords, there were no other peculiarities, plus there were fatal weaknesses, so it was not difficult to deal with.
Fang Yue didn't stop at the moment, and once again pounced on a fast catcher with a knife, and the head of the fast catcher was also knocked out.
A heavy Enlightenment Dao Fist made Fang Yue's physical fitness have been comprehensively improved, the speed is fast, in a one-on-one situation, a fast catcher can't last a few rounds under his hands, unless a few catches and fast combined attacks can pose a little threat to him.
And now, the four ghost catchers had been broken by Fang Yue individually, and only the last one remained.
"Boom."
The sound of the long knives striking each other sounded again, and the last catch quickly blocked Fang Yue's slash, and the huge force made it shake its body and staggered back.
Fang Yue was on tiptoe, already pounced in front of it, and slammed his long fist into its head.
"Bang."
After a muffled sound, silence returned to the long street.
Only the four headless corpses stood in place, not moving, and with their heads falling in the distance, under the hazy moonlight, there was an eerie atmosphere.
Suddenly, at the end of the street, in a smoky place, there was another sound of footsteps.
The sound of footsteps, dull and heavy, came from afar, and was particularly clear and loud in the long, silent streets.
"My lord, this Fang Xiucai is stubborn, unwilling to accept the appointment, and beats us and others! Please make sure you call the shots for us. ”
A quick head on the ground said loudly, and his mouth opened and closed.
Fang Yue's face was cold, these ghost things were still alive with only one head left, but they weren't living creatures in the first place, so it wasn't strange.
He had just taken a few steps forward and slashed the chattering head on the ground a few more times, when the owner of the footsteps at the end of the street had stepped out of the smoke and revealed a little figure.
This is a tall figure, more than two feet tall, with a head almost level with the roofs of the two-storey attics on both sides of the street, wearing the official uniform of Zhengqipinzhi County, and is walking towards this side step by step.
"Fang Xiucai, why are you disobedient?"
The voice of the tall figure came from afar, like muffled thunder, buzzing in Fang Yue's ears, with a huge oppressive force.
Fang Yue didn't answer, turned around and ran.
He is alive and well, and where he is willing to accept the official position bestowed by the dead, the devil knows what the consequences will be.
The tall figure walking at the end of the street should be that Wenzhi County, although I don't know what kind of strength the ghost thing he turned into is, but just in terms of the height of more than two zhang, it is not what Fang Yue's current strength can fight.
……
I don't know how long I ran, but the heavy footsteps that had been following me in the distance finally faded away.
"Whew."
Fang Yue sat up from the bed abruptly and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.
The room was silent, except for a bean-like kerosene lamp that emitted a faint yellow glow.
Outside, the wind was whistling and circling.
"Another dream."
Fang Yue sighed in his heart, lifted the quilt, and wanted to go to the next room to inform the shopkeeper that he would come to keep vigil in the middle of the night.
However, with this movement, the left shoulder is close to the back area, and it feels a hot pain.
Fang Yue reached out to touch it, it was wet, and he put his hand in front of the oil lamp to see that it was a hand of bright red blood.
"Damn, it's not that simple as a dream."
Fang Yue's face became a little unsightly, the injury he suffered in the dream could actually be brought to reality.
Fortunately, the knife wound on the shoulder was not too serious, and it didn't even affect the movement of the left hand, but the blood flowed a little too much, Fang Yue estimated that after the injury, he fought violently, and the wound was a little torn.
It was now the middle of the night, and it was difficult to find medicine to stop the bleeding, so Fang Yue tore off a strip of cloth from his robe and bandaged the wound simply.
"Wait until dawn to go to the infirmary to get some medicine, otherwise this kind of knife wound infection will be a nuisance."
Fang Yue frowned and thought, picked up the oil lamp on the wooden table, pushed open the door and walked out, coming to the door of the next room.
There was also an oil lamp lit in the next room, and the shopkeeper was dozing off on a chair in front of the wooden table, his figure reflected in the light of the oil lamp on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Fang Yue gently knocked on the door with the back of his hand.
The shopkeeper, who was dozing off, immediately woke up and said in horror: "Who?" ”
"It's me."
"Oh, it's Fang Xiucai." The shopkeeper calmed down, walked to the door, and opened the door.
"It's the second half of the night, and it's my turn to keep vigil." Fang Yue said.
"It's the middle of the night so soon." The shopkeeper yawned, raised his head and glanced at the Chenzi room in the corner of the second floor in fear, "I accidentally slept just now, and I didn't hear the sound of a change." Thankfully, nothing happened during the night. ”
Fang Yue said: "Nothing is the biggest good thing. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Fang Yue's expression suddenly changed, and he looked solemnly at the direction outside the inn gate.
It was dark, and the door was closed, but outside the door there were footsteps and conversations, mixed with the wind, faintly audible.
Suddenly running outside the inn in the middle of the night, especially at this special moment, the behavior is really suspicious.
Fang Yue lowered his voice and said; "Someone is coming outside, the identity is unknown, you hide in the house, turn off the lights, and don't come out no matter what happens outside."
After that, he stuffed the kerosene lamp in his hand into the shopkeeper, shook his body, lightly stood, ran to the counter in a few steps, and hid under the counter.
The shopkeeper was frightened inexplicably, someone came at this moment, and it was obvious that the person who came was not good.
He hurried back into the house, closed the door gently, bolted it, and then opened the lampshade and extinguished both kerosene lamps.
The darkness aggravated the fear of the shopkeeper, and he originally wanted to climb into bed, but after thinking about it, he simply got under the bed.
"Shop, open the door quickly, we want to stay!"
There was a rough shouting and banging on the door outside the inn gate.
The shopkeeper's professional habits, just wanted to respond, and immediately reacted, covering his mouth with his hand.
The voice of this door, he was faintly familiar, it seemed to be one of the four foot merchants who lived in the Chenzi room before.
"What the hell are they trying to do when they killed someone and now they're running back in the middle of the night?"
The shopkeeper's heart was full of fear, and he couldn't help but think of the terrifying scene he saw in the Chenzi room during the day, the woman's head on the bed and the stumps and flesh all over the ground.
Such a murderous maniac, now in the middle of the night, suddenly ran back to the door of the inn to call the door, where can there be any good things.
The body of the shopkeeper lying under the bed couldn't help but tremble, and he kept praying in his heart that these murderous demons would not open the door, so he would leave quickly.
However, things naturally did not go as he wanted, and the people outside the inn door shouted several times, and when they saw that no one answered the door in the inn, they slapped the door hard.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The sound of banging on the door was very loud, even if the shopkeeper was hiding under the bed, through the door of the inn and the door, the whole two doors still clearly reached his ears.
Like a magic sound, every sound of fear of hitting the door almost made the shopkeeper's heart tremble, and he panicked to the extreme.
