Chapter 24: Liu Yiyun
The bright moon was white, the wind was gusting, and the surroundings were silent, Qiu Hu only felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and then pinched the rune in his hand, leaned on the zombie with his back, and slowly observed the surroundings.
Qiu Hu's eyes were dark with green light at this time, but in fact, he was breathing slowly, and he was concentrating on sweeping the surrounding woods, he really couldn't imagine why the corpse would disappear quietly, if it was artificial, no matter what means the other party used, he would not be able to take away a dead body that was beating with the queue when Qiu Hu was unaware, unless Qiu Hu's senses were blinded first, which was obviously unrealistic.
Then there is only one possibility, this dead corpse escaped by itself, and it was under the control of Qiu Hu's soul bell, and it released its own control under Qiu Hu's nose and slipped away quietly.
For a while, Qiu Hu was like a great enemy, he wasn't sure if this dead corpse was still around, but he was sure that this dead corpse seemed to retain its intelligence, and it was extremely powerful, it was the most troublesome dead corpse he had encountered so far, no, maybe it would be more appropriate to call him a zombie now, and it was an ordinary zombie.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the night was thick, the moon was gradually covered by a layer of dark clouds, the cold wind around became stronger, and one or two icy raindrops fell on Qiu Hu's forehead.
"Whew~"
Qiu Hu exhaled a long breath, put away the rune paper in his hand, and looked up at the gloomy night sky.
It's going to rain......
At this point, it was determined that the zombie had already fled and was not around. As for where he went, Qiu Hu knew very well that there was only one place, and that was the high-ranking foreign mansion of Qinghe County.
There are less than three hours before the sky is about to dawn again, and in front of the situation, it is a good strategy to return to the dead corpse inn to settle these zombies, and rush to Qinghe County when the day is clear.
After paying attention, Qiu Hu immediately returned, concentrating on the way, doubling his vigilance, and driving away the corpses at a fast speed, and finally came to the Dead Corpse Inn when the rain broke out.
Due to the unrelenting rush along the way, there was still more than an hour before dawn, but the boss had already cleaned up the inn, but the damaged tables, chairs and wooden planks had not had time to be repaired.
"I knew you would come back," the bearded boss wiped the table and smiled at Qiu Hu, who had just finished his corpse, "I just said that it would rain in the middle of the night, and you didn't listen, now you know." ”
Qiu Hu came to the table and sat down, took the tea handed by the boss, and took a few sips: "No, even if it rains, I'm not afraid, at most I will go to the next store." ”
"Huh? What did you just bring in with those four zombies? The boss looked surprised.
Qiu Hu put down the tea bowl and nodded.
"Really?" The boss narrowed his eyes.
"That's right, the job I took stinks and I found out halfway through that he flew by himself."
"Right under your nose? You can't stop him? ”
"No," Qiu Hu shook his head, "I didn't notice it at all. ”
"Sss The boss couldn't help but tilt his head and take a breath, "I'm afraid it's not an ordinary evil thing." ”
"Yes, so I'm going to leave at dawn, I know where he is, it shouldn't hurt anyone during the day, I will rush to Qinghe County while I am here, maybe I can catch up." Qiu Hu took off his green cloth hat and flicked the water droplets on it.
"Hmm...... Then you should be careful," the boss glanced at the door, "and leave these to me, keep you as you are." ”
"Thank you very much." Qiu Hu seriously arched his hand to the boss.
"Master Tiger, you're polite." The boss returned Qiu Hu's salute with a hippie smile.
"Hey...... Ah......h
Suddenly, a call came from the door, and the two looked at each other instantly.
"Ahh......h Xiaosheng is polite. A handsome young man dressed in white and carrying a cage scholar on his back got up from the door and staggered to salute Qiu Hu and the others with muddy water on his body.
"Who are you?" The boss saw at a glance that this person was definitely not the guest he was picking up, and asked with a serious face.
"Xiaosheng Liu Yiyun, ancestral home in Guzhang County, Xiangxi, Hunan, coincided with the Spring Festival, this trip was to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but tonight encountered such heavy rain, so I wanted to take this time to rest, and the rain stopped and left." The white-faced scholar bowed his hand, his voice sounded clear and clean, but he was faintly trembling, maybe it was because Fang Cai's fall was a little painful, or he was frightened by the boss's fierce appearance.
Guzhang County? Qiu Hu's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but glance at the young man in white twice.
"Go, go, you find another place to stay," the boss frowned and waved, "this is not the place you should be." ”
Liu Yiyun frowned slightly, and bowed to the boss again with a begging face: "Xiaosheng just rests for a while, and when the rain is lighter, he will leave." There are still some entanglements left in this trip, and I hope that the boss can make it convenient. ”
The young man took out a few copper coins wrapped in a clean white handkerchief, and handed them to the bearded boss with respectful hands, bowing his head and looking worried.
"It's all said it's not where you should live, and it's not a matter of money." The boss's voice was obviously more serious than Fang Cai, "This is a dead man's shop, and the living don't live here." ”
"Huh?" Liu Yiyun took two steps back in horror, looked at the boss in surprise, and then his face became angry, his eyes swept Qiu Hu, and he said to the boss: "The ancients said: Bullying people is a curse, but sparing people is a blessing. If the gentleman really does not want to take shelter in the bottom, he should leave in the rain below, and there is no need to be so insulting. ”
Qiu Hu and the boss were stunned at the same time, a little confused for a while, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"Hahahaha......"
Liu Yiyun saw that the two did not respond, but looked at him with laughter, as if he was mocking and playing, his face was eager for a while, and there were some tears in his eyes, and he shouted: "What's so funny, how can the two of you be so deceitful!" ”
This voice directly shouted at the two of them, looking at Liu Yiyun as if a little woman had been humiliated, coupled with her white clothes splashed with muddy water, she was pitiful and sincere, and she was afraid under her anger.
"Hahaha, hey, Master Tiger, how can this kid be like a girl." The boss laughed so hard that his tone was full of ridicule, but there was no real malice.
Qiu Hu was also smiling, only to feel that this young man was too innocent, and he didn't know where he got the courage to dare to travel alone in the mountains late at night.
"You, ......" Liu Yiyun's voice was eager, and the look of anxiety and indignation on his delicate and white face converged, pointing at the boss as if he was crying.
"Okay," the boss waved his hand, his face straightened, "I'm the owner of this shop, I have the final say, if you don't have an umbrella, I'll give you one, leave quickly." ”
Liu Yiyun bit his lower lip tightly and continued to argue with the boss.
"Huh?" The boss stared at him with a fierce face.
Instantly frightened, Liu Yiyun took a few steps back, and then shook his white sleeves: "Although Xiaosheng is not a noble and elegant person, he also doesn't want to be under the same roof with a rude and ugly person like you, so he will leave!" ”
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning flashed in an instant, and the explosion thundered.
"Ahh
Liu Yiyun, who had just arrived at the door, screamed, and was so frightened that he sat back down where he had just fallen.
Then he immediately gritted his teeth and stood up again, glared at the boss who seemed to be smiling twice, took two deep breaths, and slowly moved his steps out of the door again with a worried face.
"Stay."
A majestic and calm voice was like a silk thread, directly pulling back Liu Yiyun's right leg that was half of the threshold away.
Liu Yiyun turned to look at the source of the voice in surprise, and at the same time, the bearded boss also looked at Qiu Hu with a strange expression.
