Chapter 9: Humanized Monsters

Mo Liang's eyes were like feet. Chasing buns, from the house to the outside, from the stove to the bedside. Baozi was embarrassed by his staring, and scolded him in disgust, "I can't work like you." ”

"Oh. Mo Liang responded, but he still didn't look away.

After the bun ran out that day, he was restless. I was always thinking about the way the bun looked before she went out, thinking about her and saying, "I know you have always looked down on me and thought I was cheap." I don't have the ability to make money for you..." Thinking about it, Mo Liang felt that he couldn't sit down, afraid that something would happen to the buns. He went out to look around, and inquired about people, and heard that a girl had followed some gangsters into the depths of the alley, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. When I saw the buns, those words naturally blurted out without going through my mind.

Now, he is half-lying on the bed, supporting his head with one hand, and smirking while looking at the buns, as if his heart has been filled with honey. Baozi didn't expect him to change so much, and he was like two people before.

Originally, Mo Liang always didn't have a good face for her, either coldly or arrogantly. But now, he looked like a half-grown child.

Mo Liang stared at the bun, and he couldn't get enough of it with a pair of eyes.

This is my wife, and I will have a wife in the future. Mo Liang thought. He never thought that he would one day have a wife,

Mo Liang took a stool and moved it to Baozi and walked down.

"What are you doing?" said Baozi.

Mo Liang didn't speak, he just laughed. He turned his head, lifted his clothes, and said, "I have an itch on my back, you scratch it for me." ”

"Don't make a fuss. Baozi said.

"I'm honest, I have an itch on my back. Mo Liang said.

Baozi had no choice but to sit down and press his hand on Mo Liang's back. She was a little embarrassed, and this was the first time she had touched a man so seriously. "At the bottom point, at the bottom point, yes, yes, this is it. Mo Liang looked satisfied.

Bun looked at Mo Liang's back. She didn't have such an opportunity before, and now she found that Mo Liang had many wounds on his back, some of which looked like they had been smashed with blunt objects, and some of which looked like they had been cut by sharp objects.

"Are you serious about that?" asked Baozi.

"What?"

"It's just... That's what you said, you want me to be your wife. Baozi said hesitantly.

"What, you regretted it?" Mo Liang turned his head suddenly.

"No, it is. Baozi didn't know what to say, "You are a mysterious person, one will say this, one will say that." Said you want me to be your wife, but I don't know you at all. ”

"Am I mysterious?" Mo Liang seemed to have no realization. "What do you want to know?"

When Mo Liang asked, Baozi couldn't answer it all of a sudden. She pressed Mo Liang's back and said, "Like, how did you get this wound? ”

Mo Liang turned his head, "No matter how you say this, it's all boring, and there's nothing to talk about." ”

"But I want to know. Baozi hugged Mo Liang from behind, his head resting on his shoulder, "I want you to tell me little by little." It was the first time that a woman leaned on him so gently, and Mo Liang felt warm in his heart.

"Yes, take your time, I'll tell you. Mo Liang rubbed the bun's head.

Mo Liang was in a good mood and decided to have a luxury and took the buns to the restaurant for a meal. Baozi refused at first, she showed the appearance of a housekeeper early on, but she couldn't stand Mo Liang's persuasion. When I arrived at the restaurant, I sat down tremblingly, but I didn't want to order it, and I didn't want it. Mo Liang still called a man, and regardless of whether the bun was willing or not, he reported seven or eight dish names in one go. When I looked back after ordering the food, the buns looked distressed and were about to squeeze blood.

Baozi thought that in the future, it would be two people to live, and all aspects would naturally have to be carefully calculated, although she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but the life of eating the last meal all the year round also made her learn to be diligent and thrifty early. "Don't worry about it, I'm really going to run out of money, I just want to eat like you, okay?" Mo Liang quipped, and Baozi saw that he looked unserious, and his heart was sweet again.

After the two finished eating, they came out of the restaurant with their stomachs covered with satisfaction, and walked down the street holding hands, only feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Mo Liang doesn't want to take revenge on Snake Three now, nor does he want to get the golden ball back. The golden ball tormented him for a few days, and now I heard Baozi say that the golden ball disappeared with Snake Three. It's good, he's never seen it. Mo Liang looked at the woman beside him, and only felt that he had hope for his future life, and his whole body was full of energy.

Neither of them wanted to go home like this, so they wandered aimlessly on the streets, immersed in the world of the two, and ignored everything around them. I don't know how long I've been shopping, but even the buns, which have always been sluggish, feel that something is wrong. She couldn't tell what was wrong. The street, which used to be always full of traffic, is now much deserted, and everyone looks weird and different from usual.

"Fuck you, I said you gave one less copper coin, don't you understand people?" a loud curse sounded. Baozi and Mo Liang turned their heads and saw a vegetable vendor grabbing a person's collar and shouting loudly in the vegetable shop next to them. The guest was not convinced, and pulled his hand and said, "When I gave it to you, it was obviously calculated, but you blamed me for getting rid of it yourself?"

The two of them have big eyes and small eyes, and no one will let anyone. Suddenly, the vendor took up the kitchen knife beside him, and made a gesture to cut the man. "Okay, you tease me, I can't kill you today. When a few people who were selling vegetables on the side saw it, they hurriedly went up and stopped, "What is Lao Li doing, for a copper coin..."

The guest who had a hard face was also startled when he saw this, and ran away with his legs.

Mo Liang held an attitude of not being idle, pulled the bun and continued to walk forward. I only heard Baozi say, "The anger of that vegetable seller is really big, and he has to cut people for a copper coin." ”

"It's not certain, as soon as people are angry, anything can be done. As soon as Mo Liang finished speaking, he heard the screams of children on the side. A middle-aged woman was holding a child of about six or seven years old and was falling to the ground. According to her ruthlessness, the child would have to fall to death in a few strokes. At this moment, a father of the child ran over, grabbed the woman's hair and tore her to the ground. "You dare to smash Lao Tzu's seed!" he pressed the woman to the ground and held her by the neck as if he wanted to strangle her. Fortunately, the woman had a lot of strength, and she pushed the man away without pressing for a while, and the two of them scuffled together.

Along the way, Mo Liang and the two saw no less than four or five quarrels and fights. I even saw two pairs of wild mandarin ducks in broad daylight.

Mo Liang and Baozi looked at each other, and only felt that everyone on the street today was like eating explosives. At this time, only a scream was heard, followed by a cry.

The two ran over to see that the door of a house on the side of the street was wide open, and in the room, a woman was crying with a hanging man in her arms. Crying and crying, the woman picked up a knife from the stove on the side, and before anyone else could stop it, she didn't hesitate, and the knife slid open her neck, and blood gushed out.

It's not over here, there is a noise over there, and in the restaurant across the street, a showgirl is naked, and her clothes are torn indiscriminately. A man pressed her to the ground in public, and was about to take off her skirt. The entertainer screamed and struggled.

There was a circle of people around the two of them, but no one stepped forward to stop them. Some people have the heart to step forward, but when they see that the people around them don't move, they retract their steps again.

At this moment, rumbling footsteps sounded in the street, and I saw a group of guards who were usually responsible for maintaining law and order in the town running towards this direction. The onlookers saw it and consciously gave way to it. The guards did not look at this place, but passed by and ran to the other side.

"Hey, here and there. A passer-by stepped forward and grabbed a soldier and said, "There's a man picking up a girl's clothes." ”

The soldier shoved him away, "Get out, there's no time for you right now." ”

The man was pushed aside, angry and inexplicable, "You said that these soldiers usually shout five and drink six, but it is useless to really meet something." Another man walked up to him and said, "You don't know. It's said that there are monsters in the city, and now all the garrisons are rushing there, so how can they have time to take care of other things. ”

"Youkai, what youkai?" asked Mo Liang, who heard the man speak.

"Monsters are monsters, there are everything, but there is no human appearance. I heard that people have changed. The man said in a good manner, "The road in Shanhefang is completely closed, and few people inside have escaped. Either you become a youkai, or you let the youkai eat it. ”

Mo Liang's eyes narrowed into a slit as he listened. He looked in the direction of the guards' departure, and the strange thought of following him suddenly occurred in his mind.

This thought came suddenly, and he didn't think about it, so he said to the bun next to him, "You go home now, close the door and don't come out, don't open the door when anyone comes, wait for me obediently." ”

Baozi grabbed his clothes, his eyes full of worry, "What are you going to do?"

"I have something to figure out, and I'll go back when I go. Rest assured, I'll be fine. After Mo Liang finished speaking, he pressed her hand, and then ran in the direction where the guards had left.

Baozi watched Mo Liang's back disappear at the end of the street, and when he turned around, the man who picked people's clothes had been pressed aside by a person. When others saw that someone had made a move, they also swarmed up. Grabbing the man who had already been pressed to the ground and couldn't move, punch after kick, he beckoned to the man's head without light or weight. And the girl shrank to the side with her clothes in her arms, crying profusely.

At this moment, two streets away from the alley where Mo Liang was at this time, a defensive network composed of wooden fences was drawing a circle in the entire Treasure City. Outside the circle, soldiers armed with crossbows were waiting in the circle, and many soldiers patrolled back and forth outside.

This army is a garrison subordinate to Treasure City. Speaking of the army, compared with the real national army, it is simply not worth mentioning in terms of the scale of numbers. They are also equipped with old weapons from more than 10 years ago.

The army's usual task was to drive the tide of refugees, defend caravans, and, at most, occasionally go on a crusade against nearby bandits. It's not so much the army as the policing force.

But now, they have a career nightmare. Their enemies were few, even very rare, but the few soldiers who had seen the enemy were already incoherent and trembling. The commander tried to get useful information about the enemy from their mouths, but there was very little useful information other than the word 'monster' that he had already known.

At this time, outside the wooden fence, two soldiers were aiming at the inside of the fence with crossbows. In the direction where their arrows pointed, the smoke of the fire gradually filled. Except for the crackling of wood in the fire, the streets are eerily quiet. In the silent smoke, some people were faintly visible.

Just now, both soldiers were sure they had heard something, and they remained motionless, their eyes fixed on the smoke, their sweat running down their foreheads and down their necks. The two of them had never seen the enemy, but when they came to change their guards, they saw the corpse of a soldier being carried down. The corpse was broken at the waist, and there were huge tooth marks on the notch. Along with the corpse, there was an incoherent soldier who shouted, "Mouth, big mouth!"

Soon, the sound gradually became clear, and it became a woman's cry for help. A running figure appeared in the smoke. Then, with a cry of wow, a baby jumped out of the smoke first. It was a woman with a baby in her arms, shouting "Help, save my baby!" and running towards them.

"Stop, don't move!" the soldier shouted in quick succession. But the woman didn't stop, still approaching them frantically. "Please, save my children!"

"Don't move, I'll tell you not to move!" several stops rang out one after another, and the woman did not stop, she looked panicked and very frightened.

As she got closer and closer to the wooden fence, a soldier's fingers pulling the trigger under tension involuntarily tightened, and the arrow flew out with a thud, and then hit the woman's forehead with rare accuracy. The woman's body fell to the ground in an instant, and the baby flew out of the woman's arms and fell to the ground under the action of inertia.

"What are you doing!" someone yelled. The baby also lost his voice shortly after landing. The soldiers looked pale at the two corpses in the distance. For a while, no one went up to check. The captain of the team gave the missing soldier a hard slap, and then ordered him to go in and remove the two bodies of the mother and son.

"Where to move. The soldier asked.

"I don't care where you move, anyway, don't put it here for people to see. Wu Chang took a bite out of him. The soldier couldn't, though reluctantly, walked over the fence towards the mother and son. But he didn't take a few steps before he heard his trembling voice sound again, "Wu, Wu Chief." ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Chang turned his head impatiently, and then froze in place.

I saw that the woman who was shot in the forehead by the arrow twisted her hands a few times, and then staggered to her feet. Her eyes rolled, and she grabbed a white on her chest with both hands and pulled it back. One end of the tube was attached between the woman's breasts and the other end was attached to the baby. The baby was pulled back into her hand like this.

As soon as he touched the woman, the baby immediately cried again. "Oh, my poor child, don't cry, Mommy is here. The woman looked at the child, her eyes still rolling, but the corners of her mouth showed a gentle look. Suddenly, the woman turned at a strange angle, and a pair of white eyes turned to the soldiers outside the fence.

"How dare you hurt my children!" she roared as she walked towards the fence. It wasn't until less than ten steps from the fence that anyone was relieved. "Shoot, shoot!"

For a while, arrows rained down on the woman. The woman's body swayed like a leaf in the wind with each arrow, and she fell again, but the arrows did not stop. Until she was firmly pinned to the ground, there was no more sound.

As soon as they relaxed, several soldiers collapsed to the ground. But the strange thing was not over, when a long tentacle suddenly stretched out from the smoke, and the iron thorn at the tip of the tentacle passed through the woman's back, pulling her into the smoke. Then there was a chewing sound in the smoke, and the cracking of bones.

Such strange tragedies continue to occur all over the encirclement. No one knew what was going on, and the commander of the unit was just doing what he was told. The order came from the castle lord's mansion, but the person who actually gave the order was not the castle lord. The man was now pacing leisurely in the heart of the encirclement.

For the time being, we will still regard him as a human being.
