Chapter 35: Turning into a Demon
If someone comes in at this time, they will see a bloody mass of corpses.
Xu Shou breathed a long sigh of relief, and he felt a feeling of fulfillment coming from his body. This feeling made him reverberate in his limbs from head to toe.
Xu Shou turned his head, took a candle that was still burning in his hand, and lit the dry wood around him.
The fire burned, and smoke rose to envelop the corpse.
The smoke drifted out of the small window of the prison, which was located at the back of Wuhou's shop, and it would take some time for it to be discovered.
As for the jailers who were originally in prison, they would grind foreign workers during this time. The air in the dark cell is not very good, so the best option is to rest outside under a tree.
In such a hot weather, people will also be lazy.
Xu Shou was not worried, when these people found out, the body was estimated to have been burned beyond recognition.
He came out of the prison, deliberately spared a big circle, and walked back from the backyard.
"Brother Xu, take a break?" A Wuhou asked.
Xu Shou kicked Na Wuhou's buttocks, and said angrily: "What are you resting, get up and work!" ”
A group of Wuhou patrolled the streets listlessly, and both sides of the street were still busy. In the days of the previous dynasty, the northern side of the gods was generally prosperous, but the south was very empty and desolate. However, in the past few years, many workshops have also prospered.
Lirenfang leads to Yongtong Gate, and merchants who come to the capital from here generally choose to sell here. Although the north and south cities are the most crowded, the stalls there are so precious that they are almost hard to find.
Like some fur merchants in the Western Regions, most of them choose to stock up here, take out one or two samples and sell them to various big families. These people are doing big business, not to mention that fur is not like melons and fruits, it is more resistant to storage, so Lirenfang is also famous for its fur and medicinal herb business.
There are quite a few people on both sides of the street, mixed with accents from all over the world. A yellow-haired and blue-eyed man from the Western Regions came over to ask for directions, stumbling and being pushed aside by the impatient Wuhou. I dared to come to the Central Plains without learning all the words, and I didn't have time to listen to your nonsense.
Xu Shou was patrolling the street with people, and suddenly saw a Wuhou hurrying back, shouting as he ran: "Brother Xu, something happened in the shop!" ”
When Xu Shou rushed back with people, the people who patrolled the shop were carrying large buckets of water to the water prison.
The fire was ignited from the dungeon, and the prisoners held in several prisons passed out. Xu Shou saw that the prisoners were rescued, and a special Lang Zhong took a brief look, and woke up with a splash of water that was not a big problem, and several Wuhou with a tiger's back and a bear waist stared at the side to prevent the prisoners from escaping.
Xu Shou's expression was as usual, this fire was originally put by him.
"What's going on, how did the fire get up!" The street envoy roared like thunder.
A jailer muttered, "Maybe Fan Tou drank by himself and knocked the candle on the ground." The remaining firewood in our shop is piled up in the cell. ”
After hearing this, the street envoy became angry: "I told you a long time ago, usually watch more, the cell is on fire, and I will be the last to top the cylinder after the punishment of the yamen!" ”
A few of the jailers didn't speak, and the street envoys were usually nice to everyone.
A piece of coke was lifted out of it, and a pungent smell came to the face, and a few people who were close quickly covered their mouths and noses.
"This should be Fan Tou, look at him like this, it's all burned dry!"
Several Wuhou came over and looked up and down in surprise.
It was as if the cell had been roasted by fire for a long time, and the flesh on his body was almost air-dry, leaving only traces of being burned by the flames. The whole person has lost weight almost in a circle, and his face has completely become a piece of carbon, which is unrecognizable.
"If you see it, this is the end!" The street envoy scolded indignantly, and asked a few people to help carry the charred corpse away.
Xu Shou didn't have the slightest expression, and several martial marquis also had indifferent faces, this cell boss was withdrawn on weekdays, and he didn't know everyone very well. What's more, he is looking for death by himself, he is dead, and everyone doesn't feel it at all.
"Our brother Xu's body was well preserved at that time, so he can come back. Looking at Fan Tou like this, I'm afraid there is no hope. ”
Since Xu Shou came back from the dead, there have been many pilgrims in the nearby temple. People are blind, they believe in everything they see with their eyes, even if they have doubts, but Xu Shou stands there dignifiedly, and patrols the streets with a knife every day.
Xu Shou didn't hear it, as if he was wandering.
Two hours later, the two Wuhou changed shifts, and at this moment the sky was getting dark, Xu Shou signed his name on the roll call book and went home.
Xu Xin'er ran to the door and shouted, "Daddy, you're back." ”
Xu Shou picked up his baby daughter and touched his little head, Xu Shi was already standing outside the door waiting for her husband to come back.
After dinner, the girl went to bed early, and Xu Shou and Xu also fell asleep.
Xu Shou didn't sleep.
He knew he had to act tonight.
It is rumored that there is a poison in the rivers and lakes that can make people want to stop, as long as you drink this poison, you will want to drink the second and third sips. And this poison is slowly destroying a person's body, this person knows it, but he just can't stop.
The voice in his head kept arguing.
Even if he covers his ears, he can hear it clearly.
It was only when he was eating people that he could feel the sound weakening.
But now, there are no more people he wants to eat last, and going out every night like this has exhausted his energy. He wanted to get rid of the sound completely.
Xu Shou opened his eyes and subconsciously propped himself up, but unfortunately the Xu family next to the bed never fell asleep.
She stood up and looked at Xu Shou, the two of them were relatively silent.
"You already knew?" Xu Shou spoke.
Xu took out a box and opened it, revealing the mask of the Oni-faced Yaksha.
Xu Shi was trembling all over, she suddenly hugged Xu Shou, and said in a trembling voice: "Why are you like this?" ”
Xu Shou felt his wife trembling all over, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't cry, it's time to wake up Xin'er in a while." ”
"Will you eat me?" Xu asked.
Xu Shou shook his head.
Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "My husband killed all bad people, they deserve to die." ”
Xu Shou kept staring at his wife, and suddenly said, "Hurry up and leave the capital tomorrow morning and go back to your hometown to stay." This capital is not safe. ”
"How can the national capital not be safe?"
"I can feel it...... You listen to me, take Xin'er, and hurry up. ”
"What about you?"
"I have something to do, not to mention that I am Jin Wuwei, and I am not allowed to leave Beijing without an order."
The husband and wife were very anxious in conversation, Xu Shou suddenly held down his heart, and his heart was trembling.
Bang bang bang!
That voice seemed to be urging him to hurry up, otherwise he would die in the next moment!
Xu Shou snatched the door out and ran directly into the darkness.
He felt a sense of relief coming from his heart, and at this moment, it was as if he had abandoned all confinement.
Skin, so itchy......
Xu Shou began to scratch his skin, but he just put his hand on it, but he had a special feeling.
His arms grew a layer of silvery-white hair.
His face.
Ear.
Neck.
Silver-white hairs began to grow all over the body. Suddenly, he noticed that the moon had turned red tonight. Looking around, I realized that at some point, everything around me turned red.
It was as if everything was soaked in blood.
Xu Shou couldn't help but put his hands on the ground and looked up to the sky and roared.
