Chapter 28: The Dead Man (1)
The clouds disappeared and the rain fell, the sun rose in the east, and on the side of the mountain road on the outskirts of Chongqing, two black shadows floated like ghosts.
"Why do you want to save me?"
The man didn't speak, his steps faltered, but he didn't stop for a moment, stubbornly carrying the woman on his back and walking forward slowly.
The woman seemed to be dying, lying on the man's back and breathing softly, she did not hide her tears any longer, the tears slid down her cheeks, and became a puddle of water stains on the man's blood-stained shoulders.
"I'm surprised that you can come back and save me, no, it's a surprise."
The person she was guarding against had just escaped from the encirclement and slaughter of zombies on her back.
The man's face was gloomy and gloomy, and when he heard the woman's words, his throat shrugged up and down. moving, but continuing to act silently, his body was getting colder and colder, and soon, it would change to another person at a very rapid pace, so before that, he had to find a place to settle the woman on his back, and keep it within the range he could protect.
The woman was dizzy, she had just experienced the span of life and death, her body had already been overwhelmed by the ghost gate, the stench of rotting and bloody on her body had not been eliminated, and the nausea from the bottom of her stomach eroded her sanity and sobriety again and again.
The woman's breath gradually became unstable, lying on the man's shoulder, her fingers hooked the corners of the man's sleeve, and with all her senses, she spoke with difficulty, and instructed: "From here, when you enter the mountain road, you turn to the left, and go straight to the bottom of an old banyan tree, and when you see the old banyan tree, continue to go forward from the direction of the pestle of a stone, and go around the ditch, where there is a wooden house, where you can rest." ”
After saying this, she ran out of strength, tilted her head and leaned on the man's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
The man was afraid that she would fall, so he turned upside down, and after tightening the person with his backhand, he walked to the depths of Huangshan according to the instructions she had just said.
When Tan Shurun woke up, his mind was groggy, and after moving his limbs, he found himself lying on the bed in the wooden house, with a thick bear blanket underneath, soft and comfortable.
In the middle of the room was a dragon burning, charcoal was swishing, the flames were dancing in the oil lamp beside the bed, and in the dim light, she saw the man leaning against the door, the man with his hands on his chest, his starry eyes closed, and his stiff sword eyebrows almost furrowed.
Tan Shurun wanted to speak, but after being frightened, his throat could only emit a hoarse murmur similar to a whimper.
"Yue Yue, are you okay?"
Leaning on the door frame, Yue Yue trembled, but soon returned to his original state, holding his arms with both hands and shrinking into a ball, opened his eyes, and looked at Tan Shurun pitifully, his eyes were blood-red, transparent like blood jade, staring at Tan Shurun.
Obviously, the temperature inside the wooden house was very warm, but the more he looked at it, Tan Shurun inexplicably rose from the bottom of his heart with a coldness, which was a surging fear from the depths of his soul.
At this time, Yue Yue reminded Tan Shurun of the zombie king in his previous life, with a tyrannical personality and a short temper and irritability.
And, according to legend, the Zombie King has a pair of terrifying eyes.
Tan Shurun knew that he should stay away at this time, so as not to be harmed, the zombie king is inhumane, this is the cognition that everyone in the entire land of China will deeply imprint in their minds in the future.
But what lingers in her mind is the image of this man running with a sword to save her, although it is not clear why Yue Yue saved her, but he saved her, this is a fact, and something must be done as a thank you and reward.
"I'm not malicious, I won't hurt you."
Tan Shurun trembled, sat up with his hands on the bed board, and slowly walked towards Yue Yue with his hands on the table on the side.
Yue Yue retreated little by little as Tan Shurun approached, and finally there was no way to retreat, so he simply shrank into the corner of the wall, bared his teeth, and let out a low roar from his throat like a wounded beast, low and desperate.
"You saved me, remember, so I won't hurt you, let me see, what's wrong with you, okay?"
Tan Shurun's voice was gentle, perhaps because of her repeated assurances that she would not hurt him, so that Yue Yue relaxed her vigilance, and stared at her more and more without warning, although she still did not show any closeness, but she no longer resisted Tan Shurun's approach.
