Chapter Twenty-Six: Coming to Gaofu Again
Qingshui County, Gaofu.
After a night of wind and rain, the wall courtyard looks new, the original magnificent mansion, shining in the rising sun, people have begun to clean the water in front of the door and in the courtyard, orderly cleaning the inside and outside of the house.
"Ahh
A loud scream resounded throughout the Gao Mansion, frightening the senior staff wai to wake up from his dream, and the disheveled woman next to him also opened her eyes and looked blankly at the senior staff.
"What's going on?" The senior shouted outside the door.
"Oh no, sir, all the horses in the stable are dead!" A man stood outside the door, leaning over, his voice sounding extremely anxious, even frightened.
"What?" Gao Yuanwai got up from the bed and hurriedly put on his shoes and was about to go out.
"Sir, clothes." The woman next to her grabbed the senior member and handed him a coat.
The senior officer took the clothes and pushed the door out directly, and said to the man while fiddling with the clothes: "Go, take me quickly!" ”
The two of them quickly came to the stable, and at this time there was already a crowd of people, both men and women, all of whom looked panicked and frightened.
"Sir, you're here." Out of it came an old man in a light black robe who looked like he was about sixty years old, and greeted the senior outside.
"What's going on, old grandson." Gao Yuanwai came all the way, dragging his fat body and was already out of breath.
"This morning I went down to feed the horses, and as soon as I entered, I saw that all ten horses were dead, and there was blood all over the walls and the ground." Lao Sun said with a sad face.
When the senior officer heard the rumors, he was about to go to the stable to see what was going on, but was stopped by Lao Sun.
"Master, the scene is unbearable......"
"Isn't it just that the horse is dead, what can't be seen." The senior officer shook off Lao Sun's hand and walked directly into the stable.
As soon as he arrived at the door, a strong and pungent smell of blood and stench came directly to his face, and the senior staff hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, but the smell was so strong that even their eyes hurt.
As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a blood-red color, with blood stains on the walls and floors, as well as internal organs and unknown liquids.
On the ground was a pile of horse corpses, not many of which looked like a pile of rotten meat.
But none of the corpses were intact, some of the horse's heads were missing, as if they had been twisted alive, some of them had a large opening directly from the stomach, and the blood of the internal organs was scattered all over the ground, and some of the two hind legs were directly torn off, bringing out a net of intestines and horses' stomachs, and the smell was terrible......
A closer look reveals that the carcasses of these horses have signs of gnawing, especially those where there is a lot of bleeding, with a row of obvious tooth marks and bitten holes.
"Vomit ......" Gao Yuanwai directly squirted out the abalone juice that his wife gave him last night, and with a handful of chicken, duck and fish meat, it rushed out like an unstoppable force.
Lao Sun hurriedly grabbed the senior staff and quickly took him away from the miserable stable.
"It's okay, sir." Lao Sun took the mouthwash from the senior member and asked with concern.
"Vomit...... What kind of monster is this...... Vomit...... It's just cruel. The senior staff was retching and frightened.
"Master, go and rest first, I'll call someone to deal with it at the stable." Lao Sun helped the senior staff to return to the courtyard.
"Tell the back kitchen to stop cooking for me." The senior staff returned to the house without looking back.
......
At noon, Qiu Hu and Liu Yiyun came to Qingshui County.
The normal journey from the Dead Corpse Inn to Qingshui County is only half a day, and it is naturally slower to chase the corpse at night like Qiu Hu. Liu Yiyun also had to pass through Qingshui County to catch the exam, and since they were on the same road, the two naturally went together.
Along the way, the two talked and laughed, and gradually became acquainted, Qiu Hu was tall and big, burly, Liu Yiyun was thin and lively, and the head with a white cloth hat was also at Qiu Hu's nose. One is green and the other is white, walking on the street as if playing, and it looks quite harmonious.
Because it's daytime, zombies only come out at night, and now it's clueless to find nature, so it's not impossible to take a leisurely walk to Gaofu.
"Brother Qiu, can I really go in with you?" At the gate of Gaofu, Liu Yiyun asked Qiu Hu in a low voice, and his voice sounded a little worried.
"Naturally, it's okay, but if you are in a hurry and can leave on your own, then we will say goodbye" Saying that, Qiu Hu was about to clench his fist at Liu Yiyun.
"Hey, don't, don't." Liu Yiyun pulled down Qiu Hu's raised hand, "There are still some days before the first test, and the time to travel must be enough......"
"Hmm." Qiu Hu nodded, "Let's go." ”
Qiu Hu walked to the door, knocked on the door of Gaofu, and after a few breaths, there was no response.
Qiu Hu showed a trace of doubt on his face, and then he knocked the knocker again, still without response.
"Strange, there shouldn't be no talent." Qiu Hu said to himself.
Just as Qiu Hu hesitated, the door opened, and half of his head was still poking out of his head, still the man who guarded the door last time.
"Master Qiu?" The man opened the door, and his voice sounded very surprised, but it seemed to be a little happy.
"Well, this is my little brother." Qiu Hu turned sideways to reveal the slightly shy Liu Yiyun behind him.
"Please come in," the man hurriedly welcomed the two into the door, "I'll go and inform the master." ”
Soon the two were taken to the reception hall by the man, and after a while, the high-ranking people came, but their faces still looked very bad.
"Mr. Qiu, it's great to meet you." When the senior officer saw Qiu Hu, he immediately stepped forward and saluted with his fists, and the haze on his face suddenly dissipated a lot.
"But what happened?" Qiu Hu already had a guess in his heart, but he still wanted to ask for clarification.
"Alas, Mr. Qiu, you don't know, ...... early this morning"
Gao Yuanwai began to express the specific situation to Qiu Hu with his eyebrows, as if recalling the scene in the morning, and retching from memory, listening to his description, Qiu Hu knew in his heart that this matter was done by the zombie who slipped away.
Listening to Gao Yuanwai's description, Liu Yiyun's little face turned pale, the fear and shock on his face were unobstructed, and he was stunned there, and the teacup in his hand inadvertently slipped directly.
"Smack."
The sound of teacups shattering on the ground startled everyone.
"Ah, rude and rude, it's really rude down there." Liu Yiyun immediately stood up and apologized to the senior staff.
"Ah, it's out of the way, it's not in the way." The senior officer waved his hand, and the man next to him immediately cleaned up the debris on the ground, "By the way, this little brother is so beautiful, why haven't you seen it?" ”
"In Xia Liu Yiyun, it is the book ...... Guzhang County," Liu Yiyun immediately spoke.
"It's my buddy, who brought it out with us." Qiu Hu interrupted Liu Yiyun's words with a smile, Liu Yiyun glanced at Qiu Hu, and then nodded with a smile at the senior staff.
"Oh oh, it's polite, it's polite." Gao Yuanwai said with a smile.
Then Qiu Hu cut directly to the topic and informed the reason for the trip, but he heard that the frightened look on the face of the senior member after the corpse turned into a zombie was extremely obvious, and his eyes kept scrolling, as if he was secretly thinking about something.
Afterwards, the senior staff arranged for the two to stay, and then left after instructing the kitchen to prepare lunch, saying that he would be asked to prepare anything he needed, and that he would be rewarded with a lot of money after the matter was completed.
After the senior staff left, Qiu Hu lowered his eyebrows and pondered, he felt that this matter might not be simple, and this senior staff member should have something to hide. And the zombie seems to be even more weird than he imagined, tearing ten strong horses with his bare hands and drinking their blood, it is estimated that tonight will be very difficult, and you must prepare in advance.
Besides, he didn't have anything to do with it except for the spell sent by the master, he only used one in the fight in the corpse inn before, and now there are only three left, and the other corpse chases are definitely useless against that zombie, and it seems that the situation is very unfavorable to him.
"That...... Brother Qiu. Liu Yiyun gently touched Qiu Hu.
"Huh?" Qiu Hu, who was planning to think, turned his head and looked over.
"Tong ...... Is it useful to pee a child......" Liu Yiyun pursed his lips, lowered his head, and looked at this Qiu Hu with evasive eyes.
Qiu Hu's eyes lit up instantly.
