Chapter 200: Drinking Wine to Pour Out Sorrow Is Even More Sorrowful
There was no escape, and instinctively, I closed my eyes, hugged the poor little girl tightly in my arms, and shielded her with my weak body.
A familiar feeling of being surrounded by death, which only appears in nightmares, reappeared in my mind, a feeling of haste and horror like drowning in a raging torrent with no life-saving object to grasp.
At the last moment, Qiao Yu flew over from the opposite side, his swift figure collided with the roaring beast, and the little girl and I were gently moved to a safe place by Qiao Yu's spiritual power.
It happened suddenly just now, and Qiao Yu didn't have time to do anything, so he had to recklessly use his body to stop this monster from attacking me and the little girl.
As his body slammed into the demon, the demon's sharp claws and sharp fangs inevitably hurt him.
The demon hugged Qiao Yu's body with all four limbs, and the huge hideous and fishy mouth gnawed towards Qiao Yu's face.
When the little girl saw this, she screamed in fright, her legs went limp, and she could no longer run.
Qiao Yu, who was entangled by the beast, hurriedly exercised, firmly fixed the wolf kiss that pounced on him with both hands, and tore it outward.
Qiao Yu's strength was already amazing at this time, the monster's head, which was torn outward by his hand that exerted spiritual power, quickly deviated from the direction of the neck, Qiao Yu ignored the pain of being scratched on his body, his hands continued to exert strength, only to hear a "click", the monster's neck was immediately twisted by Qiao Yu, and the monster spurted out a stream of blood from its mouth, and then its head was tilted, its eyes were closed, and its body softened.
Qiao Yu took off the claws of the demon that was still hooked into his skin and regained his freedom.
The little girl and I were watching the battle from the sidelines, and we were already scared and depressed, but at this moment, seeing that Qiao Yu finally killed the demon and escaped from the clutches of the devil, I couldn't help crying with joy, and we all pounced on it to check Qiao Yu's injuries.
When I saw the red blood gurgling outward from the broken skin on Qiao Yu's chest, tears of distress and worry almost fell out.
Hurriedly tore his dress and went to bandage Qiao Yu's wounds, but Qiao Yu pretended to be strong and didn't want me to heal him, he used internal force to force out the claws of the monster that was broken in his body, and then took the elixir he carried with him, and the wound stopped bleeding and recovered temporarily.
At this time, several monsters that broke into the building were killed by Qiao Yu one after another, and the terrifying corpses of beasts were lying on the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The stagnant water on the city streets gradually receded a lot with the end of the rainstorm, and the demons that fell from the sky also died, wounded, and disappeared one by one, and the frightened people began to retreat from the sheltered buildings under the persuasion of Qiao Yu and me.
Qiao Yu and I were busy directing and helping the injured citizens evacuate, and when we were done with everything and returned home, it was already late at night, Qiao Yu was worried about my safety and didn't worry that I would live alone, so we decided to lie down in my clothes and continue to live on the sofa in the living room to take care of me.
Seeing Qiao Yu's clothes wet by the heavy rain, and scratched by monsters, there were still many blood stains left in the cracks of the clothes, I couldn't bear it, so I urged him to go to the bathroom to take a bath, and picked a set of Jia Qing's new clothes that he didn't wear, hung them at the door, and dodged into the bedroom, telling Qiao Yu that he could replace his dirty clothes with these clothes, Qiao Yu didn't want to trouble me, but later, seeing that I insisted repeatedly, he agreed, he took Jia Qing's idle clothes casually and walked into the bathroom.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that when Qiao Yu came out of the bathroom before he had washed off the shower, the door opened unexpectedly, and Jia Qing returned home from the sky.
I heard the sound of the door from the bedroom, and I came out to check in a panic, only to see that it was Jia Qing who rushed back.
Qiao Yu hadn't finished taking a shower, and when he heard the sound of the door opening in the room, he shouted through the door, "Lingyun, is Jia Qing back?" I was afraid that Jia Qing would misunderstand something, so I was nervous for a while, and replied nervously, "Yes, Qiao Yu, it's him back." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Yu, who was quick with his hands and feet, had already quickly dressed and flashed out of the bathroom, with small crystal droplets hanging on his freshly washed wet hair, looking handsome and charming.
"You, you?" Jia Qing pointed at Qiao Yu and opened her mouth angrily.
"You misunderstood, Jia Qing, Qiao Yu and I have nothing, it's just that our city suddenly had a catastrophic weather today, and a few man-eating monsters fell from the sky, Qiao Yu was injured in order to save me, and his clothes were torn to pieces by monsters, so I found him a set of new clothes that you don't usually use."
"Oh, really? What did I not suspect? You don't have to rush to explain to me, I'm tired, I need to rest early, and I have to go to the company tomorrow to deal with important things. Jia Qingwu ignored the two of us anymore, pulled his suitcase, walked through the spacious living room, and walked towards his study.
Qiao Yu saw that Jia Qing seemed to be suspicious of something, so he got up embarrassedly and said goodbye, "Lingyun, since Jia Qing is back, let him accompany you, I'll go back, if there is anything, you can call me at any time." ”
After speaking, Qiao Yu also took his bag of bloody torn clothes and left.
Leaving me alone, I originally wanted to knock on Jia Qing's door and explain one or two to him, but thinking of his arrogant attitude and casual doubts about my character just now, I felt that the explanation was also superfluous, forget it, let it be, the clear will be clear, the turbid will be turbid, the relationship between me and Qiao Yu is innocent, and I don't need to talk to him more.
After running around for most of the day, I was afraid and tired, so I couldn't lift the slightest bit of energy, so I had to freshen up at will, went into the bedroom, closed my door and fell asleep.
It's just that what makes me depressed is that the next morning, when Jia Qing went to work alone, I stayed at home, waiting left and right, but I couldn't wait for Qiao Yu's trace.
I tried to call Qiao Yu's phone, but no one answered, and this sudden change made me shocked and frightened.
Worried that something would happen to Qiao Yu, I hurriedly took the elevator upstairs to check Qiao Yu's movements, but after knocking on the door for a long time and no one answered in the house, it seemed that he had already left home.
I thought that Qiao Yu was just on a whim, going to the street alone to buy foodies or investigate An Lan's case, but I didn't expect that for a whole day, I didn't see Qiao Yu's movements.
Since last night's major riot in the city, everything has been calm again, but in this catastrophe, many innocent lives have died in the whole city.
Some of those who died were drowned in the city's floods, some were electrocuted, and many more were eaten alive by fleeing beasts.
When a new day comes, the sun is shining high above the city, the collapsed houses are still shocking, the discarded garbage and dead bodies have been cleaned up by the government organizers, and the streets of the whole city are clean and tidy again.
But for some reason, there were few cars and pedestrians on the busy streets in the past.
The whole city was like the end of the world, and people were huddled in their homes, afraid to move around at will.
Everything that happened yesterday was too terrifying, too scary, and the people who were so frightened have looked down on everything and underestimated everything, and at this moment, it seems that family and health have become people's primary needs, and work and career have been temporarily thrown out of the clouds.
I didn't want to go to the company, so I waited for Qiao Yu at home alone, but I waited for another day alone and nervously, but I still couldn't wait for Qiao Yu's trace.
Qiao Yu disappeared again, disappeared from my life again, and his sudden departure and disappearance made me fall to the ground again because of the loss of Anlan, the fragile barrier that had just been repaired in the collapsed Heart City.
Jia Qing still ignored me, and I was immersed in deep lovesickness and nostalgia for An Lan alone, and in resentment and loss for Qiao Yu without saying goodbye.
The days went by, I can't count how many days have passed, each day is so long for me, I can no longer wait for the footsteps and calls of familiar people, every day is so short, so short that I can't see the changes of people and things around me, the sunset has set in the west.
Tortured by pain and longing, my heart pierced like a thousand arrows, the pain was unbearable, and I tossed and turned every night, unable to sleep.
I was at the end of my rope, and I didn't know when I started to learn to drink heavily.
When another dusk came, I came to the familiar old place where the two of us had stayed, looking at the familiar scenery in front of me, recalling the scenes in my memory, tears couldn't help but slowly overflow my eyes, my heart was full of pain, and my heart was shattered.
I poured the wine I had brought with me into my stomach one by one, just to use the anesthesia of the alcohol to relieve the wordless pain in my heart.
When the moon was on the willow tops, when everything in front of me shook like a mirage, my nerves had been anesthetized, and that aching heart would take this opportunity to slowly repair.
It's just that I don't know when my wandering form has been targeted by the demons of this city who live on the edge of darkness.
After another night, stumbling and getting drunk and unable to walk, I lay down on the long park lounge chair where Anlan and I used to snuggle together.
Drowsiness and sadness and the intoxication of alcohol made me fall into a deep sleep, and in my dreams, I tried to chase after the figure of my beloved, trying to meet him again in that illusory world, and to see his long-lost familiar bright smile again.
However, I never expected that those demons who were ready to move could no longer hold back the desire to devour and tear me apart, and when I passed out on the chaise longue drunk, demons approached me, peeped into secret, and tried to drag me to a dark corner and bully me.
