Chapter 102: No Man's Dead City (Part II)
Lin Daxiong leaned hard in the carriage, thinking of the situation when Lu Fengxian was taken away, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, this feeling was not like a worry between friends, but a kind of grief and anger when a relative was taken away, and the grief and anger were mixed with some concerns, for fear that Lu Fengxian's body would be ruined by the bully. But with just a face-to-face contact, he knew that it was unlikely that Lu Fengxian would be able to keep his chastity.
Bleeding too much before, coupled with a few days of overnight driving, Lin Daxiong felt thirsty and hungry, very uncomfortable, in addition to the pain of the wound, he felt that his brain was as confused as if it had exploded, he lifted the curtain and looked, Bai Qing had not come back yet, and there was a mess in and out of the city.
Very unfamiliar with this place, he didn't get out of the car and walked around, and waited in the carriage for a long time before seeing Bai Qing panting and walking back, bringing back medicinal herbs, food and water.
"I don't know much about internal medicine, so I just found some herbs for external application, you can try it and see if it works." Bai Qing carried a wooden box with several herbs in it, several of which had been seen by Nobita, when Lu Fengxian explained the medicinal use to Zheng Ling'er in the past, he listened to some of them from the side, but he also recognized them.
"By the way, there's something I want to ask you." Lin Daxiong instructed Bai Qing to use a medicine mortar to pound the herbs, and said, "What's going on with the coffin inside the ghost, do you know?" ”
"Didn't you say it before? It is the iniquity of the rat. Bai Qing said lightly.
"No, what I want to ask is, ...... the people in the coffin" Lin Daxiong said halfway, but he didn't know how to organize the language, could it be difficult to tell her that these people were his friends in another time and space, and Zheng Ling'er was still his "half daughter"?
"What's wrong with the people inside? They are all ordinary people, residents who used to be ghosts. Bai Qing finished tinkering with the medicine, put the mortar aside, and freed up his hand to take the kettle to drink.
"Devilish residents? Are you sure? Lin Daxiong was shocked, and when he saw Bai Qing nodding, he still asked unwillingly: "How do you know that you are not a ghost villager." ”
"How do you know I'm not?" Bai Qing suddenly stopped the movement of his hand and stared at Nobita with a pair of watery eyes.
"This ......" Lin Daxiong paused for a moment, pointed to the armband on Bai Qing's arm and said, "Didn't you kill the rat spirit for this armband?" ”
"Who told you I was for it?" Bai Qing said with a smile: "This armband is just a gadget made up by the warlords, the armband is different, it means that you stand on a different position, but it is just a little trick used by the authorities to brainwash!" ”
"Really? This is not a knife will ......" Lin Daxiong stopped in the middle of his words, he suddenly realized that these were just speculations of his own group, after all, this is a different time and space, and everything cannot be reasoned according to the previous world.
"A long time ago, that area was a village with hundreds of families, and then it was slaughtered, and it became what it is now. The person inside the coffin is indeed a villager......" Bai Qing said, tears flashing in his eyes.
"I'm sorry White Girl, I mentioned your sadness."
Lin Daxiong can guess when he looks at her, maybe he recalls the past, so he doesn't ask more, about the bodies of the five teachers and Zheng Ling'er, it is probably Bai Qing who confessed to the mistake, otherwise even if there is a possibility of hitting the face, it will not be so coincidental, hitting six people at once, this probability is too low.
What Lin Daxiong couldn't figure out the most was that since he arrived in the underworld, things have happened one after another along the way, and he has almost no time and energy to rescue Zheng Ling'er again, but why did she appear in this place?
"I've been fine for a long time." Bai Qingqiang smiled, took out two cakes from a cloth bag, handed them to Nobita and said, "Let's eat something first, we have to hurry in a while." ”
Lin Daxiong nodded in thanks, put the cake to his mouth and took a bite, it was made of barley noodles, and there was no taste.
Judging from the clues left outside the city, those residents were killed by soldiers who had just slipped out of the city gate when they heard the news and fled, so there were not many corpses in the city, and there was a desolation everywhere. But the fleeing people will not leave food, so there are very few things in the city that can be found to be satisfied, these cakes were found by Bai Qing after searching from house to house for a long time, there are six in all, two were eaten, and there are four left.
However, there was still a long way to go, so Bai Qing wrapped the bread in a cloth, put it in his arms, and then sat back in front of the carriage and whipped his horse.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if the medicine has a curative effect, Lin Daxiong soon felt that his body could move freely, and he opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside moving rapidly, but he was worried about Lu Fengxian in his heart. At first, he was only worried about whether her body would be defiled, but now Nobita only begged her to come back safely, and he didn't think about it.
According to Bai Qing, the "master" is a reclusive scattered immortal, with superb Taoism and ability, he can fly to the sky and escape from the sky, and he can swallow clouds and spit out fog below, and he can do anything. For this statement, Lin Daxiong felt that it was a bit exaggerated, not to mention how high the Fa must be cultivated to "fly to the sky", but the word "immortal" is very unreasonable.
There are clouds in "Sanqing Huayang": immortals, living in the fairy world, fools also know that immortals live in the fairy world, and the cultivators who have reached that height have great love in their hearts and see all living beings, how can they guide a little-known goblin and remove any rat spirit for her.
If you don't believe it, you don't believe it, but at the moment, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, just ask the other party to calculate something more and help you rescue Lu Fengxian safely, Lin Daxiong thought secretly. As night fell, the two of them vaguely saw a stretch of wall in front of them, thinking that it might be another city.
When she was thinking about whether to go around, Bai Qing suddenly frowned, she found that there was no light in the city, and if there was no light, it meant that there was no one in the city, but there were no corpses or anything like that around, it didn't look like it had been slaughtered by the army.
Near the city, there was an abandoned military house on the periphery, Lin Daxiong saw this and asked, "Otherwise, let's rest here......
"I've always felt weird about this city." Although Bai Qing was wearing a veil, Lin Daxiong could still see that she was a little hesitant, so he asked, "What's weird?" ”
Bai Qing stopped the carriage, took a deep breath, and said quietly: "I can't say it, I just feel like it's a dead city, and I can't feel the breath of people." ”
"Not to mention, it's a little weird." Lin Daxiong squinted his eyes when he heard this, and saw that the military house was one or two miles away from the city, and there were scattered firewood and flint stones around it, so he thought: "You see that the military house is still far away from the city, we might as well bake a fire here, sleep comfortably, and make a detour tomorrow morning." ”
Bai Qing gritted his teeth, as if he had made a big decision, and muttered, "Okay! Just listen to Brother Xiong. ”
"Can you stop calling me Brother Xiong in the future, even if you want to call it, just call it Brother Lin, now I'm allergic to the word Xiong." Lin Daxiong jumped out of the carriage as he spoke, and before he had taken a few steps, he smelled a faint meaty aroma similar to air-dried beef.
Following the taste, he walked directly to the barracks, and there was no trace of beef in the surrounding circle, Lin Daxiong shook his head, and secretly sighed that he was slanderous, he saw that there was a flint on the ground and tried to hit it twice, because he had not used this kind of thing before, he couldn't make a fire.
"Brother Lin, let me come." Bai Qing smiled and took the flint from Nobita's hand, shook the firewood on the ground twice, shook off the dust on the surface, and then held the flint in both hands and hit it twice, and soon a fire was lit.
After lighting the fire, the two leaned against the fire, and Bai Qing took out the cake from the cloth bag, broke it in half, and left half for Nobita to hand half of it. "If it's cold, it might taste better if you roast it over a fire."
Lin Daxiong responded, took the cake and baked it on the fire, and then smelled a smell of meat quietly slipping into his nose. This time he clearly felt that the smell was coming from the ground, and he looked down curiously, and found that the soil on the soles of his feet was a little loose, as if it had been thrown by something.
Is there something in there? Lin Daxiong muttered in his heart, took out a piece of firewood from the fire, dusted off the sparks, and lifted it twice on the ground, as if it was no different from ordinary soil.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing here?" Bai Qing was a little curious, so he also smoked a firewood and helped Nobita lift the dirt.
After a while, Lin Daxiong felt that he had touched something hard, and when he looked closely, the smell of meat was emanating from its body, and the surface was wrapped in a layer of soil, and he couldn't see any clues for the time being.
"I'll take a look." Nobita picked it twice with his hand, this thing was only the size of a palm, and after shaking off the soil, he found that it was wrapped in cloth, and when he just wanted to open it to find out, Bai Qing on the side suddenly said: "Bah! Brother Lin, there are ...... down here."
As he spoke, Bai Qing also pulled out a palm-sized thing, which was one round bigger than Lin Daxiong's, and it looked like an oval-shaped cake.
"It's strange, could it be the food hidden here by a passing soldier?" Lin Daxiong swallowed his saliva, smelled the meat and gurgled in his stomach, so he lifted the outer layer of cloth and looked at it by the firelight, and it was indeed a piece of air-dried meat!
"I was right! White girl, you don't have to eat bread today. ”
This food made Nobita feel ecstatic, and he hurriedly went up and took a bite, the taste was a little heavy, it should be a marinated beef, but compared to the bitter and tasteless flatbread, it was a hearty meal.
The fox is a carnivorous canine, Bai Qing saw that there was meat, and her eyes were even more shining, she took off her veil and opened her lips lightly, took a small piece of the meatloaf and bit it reservedly, chewed it and frowned.
"Brother Lin, don't be busy eating, I'll tell you something." Bai Qing said that the meatloaf was still in the fire, Lin Daxiong was eating heartily, and when he saw her react like this, he first shook it for a moment, and then wondered: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with this meat? ”
Bai Qing nodded expressionlessly, and said in a hesitant voice, "I said it...... You have to be prepared. ”
"What's wrong with this fucking meat?" Lin Daxiong sighed badly, and spit out the meat in his mouth at once, as if he had realized the problem, and his stomach was brewing.
Bai Qing lowered his head and said in an imperceptible voice, "This is human flesh." ”
