Chapter 66: The Blood Cuckoo in the Cold Rain [8]
The smell of rain is already very difficult to spread.
Especially since the rain is not small, and the raindrops are also very heavy.
As a foreign beast, Zhao Mingming's senses are naturally much more sensitive than humans.
If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you would not smell a trace of blood at all.
But since there is a smell of blood, it proves that someone is bleeding.
This person must not be Zhao Mingming or sugar-fried chestnuts.
Apart from them, there were no living beings on this path.
Only the body in front of the carriage was very horizontal in the middle of the road.
"Miss...... These ten people?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.
It looks like I'm a little scared.
She's seen the dead.
But no matter how many times the dead see them, they will still be afraid.
His friends always couldn't understand the act.
That's right, killers also have friends.
It's just that his friends are either people he can't kill, or people he doesn't want to kill, or they are killers like him.
It is said that there was once an extremely famous killer in the rivers and lakes.
Every time I kill someone, I vomit like a newcomer who has just debuted.
After vomiting, the killer will go and drink.
The most important thing for a killer is his body.
Whether it is a vigorous skill when killing, or a flexible body when escaping, you need a healthy and strong body to support.
But this killer never did.
After vomiting, normal people should change to eat something.
And this food should not be too meaty and greasy, it is best to drink a bowl of light soup, or rice porridge.
But you shouldn't drink anyway.
What is the difference between drinking wine and drinking porridge.
Drinking porridge may also make him sick to his stomach and nauseous.
But drinking doesn't.
He's going to drink.
His reasoning was that the wine was also made from grain and water.
And porridge is also made with rice and water.
In the paper bag at hand, there is also a small half bag of fried chestnuts with sugar.
She picked one up and put it in her mouth, chewed it for a long time, but it was still difficult to swallow......
It was as if someone had stuffed a lump of cotton in his throat, and he was choked to death.
On the contrary, it made him feel indescribably comfortable and happy.
Sugar-fried chestnuts aren't a killer though.
But now she wants to drink......
As I chewed, I started to feel a little nauseous.
As a last resort, he turned his head and spit out all the sparsely chopped sugar-fried chestnuts in his mouth.
Not only that, but the sugar-fried chestnuts also retched a few times.
There was not a single void left.
I can't even drink water.
It was very strange that Sugar-fried Chestnuts also had the idea of drinking to herself, and she had obviously drunk it a few times......
"It's a person!"
Sugar-fried chestnuts followed up and took a look.
"It's still a little girl. ”
"It's useless......"
Sugar-fried chestnuts slapped their heads heavily and said.
looked back and found that his young lady Zhao Mingming had already walked over.
It seems that the time here has been constant.
She wears a floral dress.
Zhao Mingming recognized that the flowers embroidered on it were all peonies.
Zhao Mingming nodded and said.
The little girl was lying on the ground.
The muddy ground had collapsed, a hole that looked exactly like her body.
This little girl is wearing a skirt with peonies and flowers, no matter how poor she is, she is also the daughter of a large family.
It's just that why are you lying here on a rainy night?
Suddenly, Zhao Mingming felt that something was wrong.
Clusters, clusters, purple and red, unusually dense.
Peony is often called a rich flower in the world.
It can always be closely related to money and status.
Rhododendron red is the majority, especially in the south.
There are also white ones, but they are rare.
Scarcity is expensive.
The embroidery of the skirt on this little girl is not a peony.
It's the cuckoo.
White cuckoo.
But the skirt on the little girl's body, although it was a white azalea pattern, was now smudged scarlet.
Zhao Mingming took a closer look, and the pungent smell of blood rushed straight to her head, making her frown.
The white cuckoo on the skirt was stained red by the little girl's own blood.
Although this is not a peony, isn't the white rhododendron more precious than the peony?
But why did Zhao Mingming admit her mistake?
It's not because she doesn't know anything about the flowers of the world.
Then he straightened up.
"Miss, who wants to be so cruel to such a little girl?!"
Sugar-fried chestnuts stomped their feet angrily and said.
So much so that at a cursory glance before, it was mistaken for a peony.
"She was seriously injured. ”
Zhao Mingming said.
This alone proves that she is not an ordinary little girl.
In these years, girls who have not married will only run away from two places.
One is home and the other is a brothel.
She's smart though.
But as Zhao Mingming said, the critical moment was to forget to use his brain.
A little girl lay in the middle of the road covered in bruises.
But the girl who ran out of the brothel would not end well......
Naturally, you can't find a beating.
However, the brothel guys used a special bamboo card to teach the runaway girls.
Those who ran away from home were either forced to marry or had conflicts with their parents.
And those who ran out of the brothel were all to escape the torture of the boundless sea of suffering.
However, the girl who ran away from home, the family will only look for it anxiously, and as for beating and scolding and dispropriating, it is also a matter after returning home.
The bustard was reluctant to break it......
Otherwise, when you take off your clothes when you pick up customers, you will be covered with scars, bruises and purples, and you won't be able to scare away those people who are circulating?
What puzzled Zhao Mingming was that this little girl neither ran away from home nor ran away from a brothel.
The face is wide and the thickness is moderate.
When it hit the girl, the pain was extremely strong, but it only left a shallow red mark.
After all, the bodies of these girls in this brothel are all living cash cows.
Brothels and ordinary people simply don't have such strength and opportunities.
Perhaps, she brought it on herself. ”
Zhao Mingming said.
Because she has a heavy knife on the front and back of her body.
Many of the rest of the scars were like hidden weapons, and they seemed to have been caused by some unique blade.
Such scars can obviously be caused by a life-and-death chase.
has seen too much deceit in the world, the world is hot and cold, and Zhao Mingming's heart has also changed a lot.
There are no nine mountains in the world.
Humans have never been alien beasts.
If it was when she first came down the mountain.
Zhao Mingming will definitely be very enthusiastic to carry the little girl into the carriage, and then let the sugar fried chestnuts quickly drive the carriage to the nearest town, and invite Langzhong to treat her.
But now, Zhao Mingming just stood motionless beside this little girl.
When she was eating in a wine shop, she heard people talking about the mountains.
One of them made a special impression on her.
"Be nosy, eat more fart, be less nosy, and be less sloppy. ”
They will always put their personal interests above the whole community.
Zhao Mingming felt that since she had made up her mind to walk the world, she had to be the same as a human being.
Ultimately, it's all about being nosy.
This is true of human affairs.
Individuals just sweep the snow in front of their own doors.
In this way, the world can also get peace.
When she heard it for the first time, it took a lot of effort for Zhao Mingming to hold back herself from laughing.
But the hands that raised the baskets, and the violent trembling of her shoulders, betrayed her.
Now that I think about it, that other person's saying is not rough.
However, it still wet Zhao Mingming's clothes and hair.
Dots of water were left from her sideburns.
An occasional drop fell on her long eyelashes.
But if she really wanted to abandon this little girl like this, she couldn't give up.
The sugar-fried chestnuts seemed to see the entanglement in the young lady's heart, and stood quietly aside, obediently silent.
At this time, the rain gradually faded.
Sugar-fried chestnuts couldn't bear to say.
Her heart is still extremely soft and kind.
She felt that the same should be true of the young lady.
"Let's go......"
Zhao Mingming sighed and said.
"Miss......"
"Besides, the little girl may be dead. ”
Zhao Mingming turned her gaze to the ground and continued.
As a result, as soon as the words fell, I saw the little girl's hand twitch slightly.
But I don't know why I chose to sit on the sidelines this time.
"The world is so big, there are many poor people. We can't do it. ”
Zhao Mingming said to the sugar-fried chestnuts.
She had carefully probed before.
Although the body is still warm.
But there is no difference at all to the slightest breath and pulse.
"Miss! she's not dead!"
Sugar-fried chestnuts exclaimed.
Zhao Mingming also felt very surprised.
"Miss, she's not dead!"
Sugar-fried chestnuts saw that Zhao Mingming was indifferent, and said again.
He even held his own young lady's arm.
But the twitching of Fang Cai is genuine.
Not only did the sugar-fried chestnuts see it, but Zhao Mingming also saw it.
It's not always like two people to be dazzled at the same time.
When the sugar fried chestnut heard it, he immediately smiled.
After answering, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to lift the little girl from the ground.
Zhao Mingming turned around and walked towards the carriage.
The tone and demeanor were a little pleading.
"That's it...... Let's get her back to the car......"
Zhao Mingming said.
The sugar-fried chestnuts carried the little girl's arm and pushed it upwards slightly.
The little girl let out a muffled snort......
Apparently due to the pull of the sugar-fried chestnuts, the wounds on her body were involved.
There were also a few clean clothes in the car.
Looking at this little girl's figure, it is similar to that of sugar-fried chestnuts.
The dress on her body was either mud or bloodstains, so she had to change it clean.
Hearing the sugar-fried chestnuts say this, they had to put them in the carriage first, and turned around to come back to help.
Now that you've made up your mind to save people, let's be thorough, just a little bit.
Zhao Mingming held the little girl's shoulders, turned her over first, and lay down flat.
"Miss, it's hard for me to do it alone......"
Sugar-fried chestnuts said.
Zhao Mingming had just taken out a brand-new, clean shirt from her baggage.
"I don't know if I can save ......"
Zhao Mingming saw that the little girl was so badly injured, and her heart was also throbbing.
The anatomy of human beings is different from that of alien beasts.
The little girl coughed lightly and spat out some muddy soup from her mouth.
Then came a mouthful of blood.
The whole front and chest of her dress were dyed red.
But for humans, it's really helpless.
Lying flat for a while, watching the little girl's breathing gradually stabilize Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts on one side and at the same time, they subdued her.
This time, although the little girl's face was still in pain, it was much better than before.
Although the alien beast looks the same as a human after taking shape, it is only the skin.
It's still very different on the inside.
If this little girl was a transformed beast, Zhao Mingming would have a way to save her life.
Zhao Mingming held the little girl's head, gently leaned on the carriage, and then began to change her clothes.
The outermost skirt has been firmly attached to the inner lining in the mud and snow, but it can't be taken off.
Seeing this, the sugar-fried chestnuts wiped their right hand towards their waists, and suddenly there was an extra dagger in their hands.
"We carry her, you hold your left leg and I hold your right leg. Put it directly in the carriage and change her clothes. ”
Zhao Mingming said.
The sugar-fried chestnuts nodded, and the two slowly lifted the little girl smoothly and placed it on the horizontal board in front of the carriage.
Immediately, he divided the skirt on the little girl's body and took it off.
All the people present were women, but there was nothing to taboo.
Not to mention saving people first.
"You're smart again!"
Zhao Mingming said.
The sugar-fried chestnuts stuck out their tongues and smiled mischievously.
Inside the skirt, it is still a set of pure white lining.
But at this moment, this inner lining has become a set of bloody clothes.
Not a single corner showed pure whiteness, and it was completely soaked with blood from the wound.
Even if it was a man, at this moment, he had to put aside the great defense of the Rite Sect for the time being.
"This ......"
Sugar-fried chestnuts looked at the little girl's body and was speechless in surprise.
Sugar-fried chestnuts thought in my heart.
She had never seen anyone so badly wounded, nor had she ever seen so much blood shed.
How much blood can be shed in a person?
In some places, it has even been dried hard.
The rain that was just beaten like that didn't dissolve it in the slightest.
"Maybe it really can't be saved......"
Zhao Mingming was also shocked by the scene in front of her.
After relieving himself, he spoke.
Previously, she had only found a coat.
What's more, it's still a small, thin girl.
I'm afraid that more than half of the bloody clothes around me have been eaten by this clothes.
"Take it off...... Find one that you're clean and give her a change in it. ”
But the wind is still blowing.
The most taboo for an injured person, like a drunk person, is to blow the wind and illuminate it.
"Huh?"
But I didn't expect that the lining inside of this little girl had become such a scene......
Zhao Mingming held her body and wanted to move her inside.
The rain has stopped though.
A little girl with a sword was covered in blood in the middle of the road.
All these connections made Zhao Mingming have no clue.
I just thought that it would not be easy for this little girl to be hunted down so harshly.
Zhao Mingming's hand just put it on her side, but she felt a little different.
When she looked closer, she saw that under the armpit of the little girl, there was a short sword hanging from her flesh.
Rainy night.
The scabbard of the short sword was also covered with a thick layer of blood.
It's even a little blackened.
After pulling out the sword, Zhao Mingming saw that the blade of the sword was also covered with this thick layer of blood.
Now that she saw this short sword, Zhao Mingming was even more convinced of her judgment.
With the strength of her hands, she tore a hole in the lining of the little girl's body.
Zhao Mingming took out the short sword from it.
"Miss, what do you mean?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.
She had just found an undershirt and was about to put it on for the little girl.
She put it on the tip of her pen and sniffed it, and then she knew it.
"This little girl is also a ruthless character......"
Zhao Mingming put the short sword aside and said.
Zhao Mingming motioned for her to come closer and sniff it.
This smell shocked the sugar-fried chestnuts so much that the short sword almost slipped off his hand......
"Miss...... There are at least twenty-seven or eight people's blood stains on this short sword......"
"Look at this sword!"
Zhao Mingming handed the short sword to the sugar-fried chestnuts and said.
Sugar-fried chestnuts took the short sword, puzzled by its meaning.
This little girl is not of any good origin.
I thought he was a bitter man who was seeking revenge.
Unexpectedly, it was a murderous star.
The sugar-fried chestnuts said tremblingly, stammering a little when they spit out the words, and even mixed a few words in the lingua franca of the beasts of the Nine Mountains.
"So is it a blessing or a curse?"
Zhao Mingming smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Will she kill us when she wakes up......"
Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.
"Are you scared?
Although it is all blood, there is a slight difference between people and people.
These differences can only be smelled by Zhao Mingming, who is a strange beast, and sugar-fried chestnuts.
What's more, the fox clan has a keen sense of smell.
It's one of the few things she has fun.
"Do you feel that there is a mysterious smell on this little girl?"
Zhao Mingming looked at the sugar-fried chestnuts and was changing her clothes, and suddenly spoke.
Zhao Mingming said with a smile.
She likes to see sugar-fried chestnuts deflated.
This habit was present when she did not go down the mountain.
Sugar-fried chestnuts said.
Zhao Mingming frowned, listening to the little girl's closed eyes.
She heard her father Zhao Ze talk about some secrets in the world.
It was just a feeling for her, but she didn't know what words to put to describe it.
It can only be said as "taste".
"Miss, I don't feel ......"
Things in the north, south, west and east can be weathered into intangible with time.
However, the human heart will not change with it, especially the latest immortal heart, which is even more firm and abnormal.
But although this heaven and earth are not old, how can ordinary people enter heaven?
Including why the strange beasts on the Nine Mountains were able to enlighten their minds overnight and were able to transform into human form.
Zhao Ze said that there is a doctrine of immortality in this world, and people's hearts can also transcend things and swim in the depths of the four seas and eight wildernesses.
But the only thing that is immortal is heaven and earth.
And her body is still delicate like a girl who has not yet developed.
How could there be such a strange thing in the world?
Whether it's a beast or a human.
The right way is to pour all the self into learning the Tao or martial arts, so as to seek to be passed down for thousands of years, which is to be immortal.
But this little girl gave Zhao Mingming the feeling that her spirit and body were extremely incompatible.
Although her eyes were closed, Zhao Mingming could also feel that her spirit was already weathered.
In front of the sick tree, the spring of ten thousand trees, the reincarnation of the four seasons, can flaunt the true color of life.
But this vicissitudes need to go through every season to come out at what time.
In any case, it shouldn't be on a little girl.
The time of this life is no different from the four seasons.
It's always spring and autumn, cold and summer.
In this kind of repetition, the old and the new are born.
The spring rain is as precious as oil to nourish all things, and the warm spring breeze blows through the willow tops.
After the sting, a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred birds and a phoenix, full of vitality and prosperity.
Even on a rainy day, it can't hide the clarity and flawlessness of the inner sky.
Mind, in the grinding of the field, at different times, should do things to match.
Childhood is like spring.
Fireworks in March, drizzle.
There are no suspicions or worries.
Happiness and sadness are clearly written on the face.
After this time, like the flesh of this girl, it came to midsummer.
Carefree, free laughter and laughter, always flickering, hovering between heaven and earth.
The aftermath lingers, even for thirty days, it cannot be stopped.
Zhao Mingming also experienced that spring.
But in any case, it is not a time to kill.
Only in the fall.
Frost kills all grasses, and everything is solemn.
The scorching sun shines on the earth.
All kinds of fighting spirit and passion burst out.
The rhetoric is like a weed at the end of the world, blowing inexhaustibly, and it is inexhaustible.
No matter who it is, there is a reason and a motive to kill.
As for winter, Zhao Mingming has never understood it.
She can only see one season at most.
than in the spring of the same year, there was more sorrow.
It's more dignified than the summer of youth.
After three seasons of accumulation.
"What's wrong with Miss?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts felt that Zhao Mingming was a little strange.
"Nothing...... It's just that I'm a little uneasy. ”
But that's already a great thing.
"Let's get dressed, let's go quickly......"
Zhao Mingming urged.
With a shout in his mouth, the whip flickered, driving the horse forward.
The rain stopped, and the horses ran very openly.
Zhao Mingming felt that the speed of this horse was gradually improving, and the sense of uneasiness in her heart gradually faded a little.
Zhao Mingming waved her hand and said.
Sugar-fried chestnuts didn't reply again.
With a slight leap, he sat down on the crossboard of the carriage.
Zhao Mingming asked.
If she hadn't held on to the frame of the carriage, she would have been able to throw her out of the emergency stop.
But this little girl was unlucky......
Suddenly, the horse neighed!
Then the front hooves took a few heavy steps on the ground, and finally stopped.
"What's going on?"
"Miss, there's light ahead!"
Sugar-fried chestnuts helped the little girl up and said.
It was a dark and rainy night, and the sky was not yet clear.
At that moment, Zhao Mingming couldn't take care of her at all.
The little girl who was still in a coma went forward again.
One can be next to the baffle of the author of fried chestnuts in sugar.
It's like the moon in the sky.
Take a closer look, there are dots of stars around this round of "Haoyue", like stars in the sky.
"There is indeed light. ”
The clouds obscured the moon.
Where does the light come from?
But Zhao Mingming clearly saw that not far ahead, there was a very lying light.
Sugar-fried chestnuts want to say the word "ghost".
It's not just people who are afraid of ghosts.
After the beasts were enlightened again, they were also strangely afraid of ghosts.
Zhao Mingming said.
The tone was extremely heavy.
"Miss, what is that...... It won't be ......"
Zhao Mingming said.
Straight to the point.
"What's that?"
This seems to be a common disease of living beings.
In fact, what they are afraid of is not ghosts, but the unknown brought by ghosts.
"That's not a ghost. ”
It's just a matter of comfort.
"That's a knife light. ”
Zhao Mingming said.
When the sugar-fried chestnuts heard that they were not ghosts, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, she doesn't care whether what Zhao Mingming said is correct or not.
Anyway, this sentence was the answer she wanted to hear.
The knife is supposed to reflect sunlight or moonlight.
"Some people's knives shine on their own. ”
Zhao Mingming said.
"Knife light?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts exclaimed.
How can a knife shine for no apparent reason?
The previous sense of uneasiness has finally been confirmed.
Zhao Mingming got out of the carriage and stood next to the carriage.
His right hand rests on the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
Then she looked back at the unconscious little girl, and thought to herself that this great good man was really not a good person......
