The black cat is on top, the evil spirits retreat

Before they reached the cave, they could catch the fishy smell in the air, Jun Heng followed behind them calmly, a pile of corpses of mountain animals piled up outside the entrance of the cave, and the stench came over his face as he approached. A ravine lay across, and the eyes wandered into it.

The cave dwellings were originally open-air, but they covered them with dense broken branches so that there was no daylight.

"I didn't kill someone on purpose..." the man murmured, "The younger sister ran out from here the day before yesterday, and my elder brother and I went out to find someone, but we couldn't help but want to suck blood, so we killed him..."

Without waiting for Jun Heng to say anything, he added weakly: "Well, it is indeed murder...".There was a piece of burnt skin on his face, and after the rain washed it, it looked even more terrifying. Only the drooping eyelids and drooping corners of the mouth could tell that his expression was extremely sad at the moment.

The blue and white eyeballs rolled around, and tears suddenly flowed out, black and red...

"It was someone else who turned you into executioners." Jun Heng looked at the darkness inside, and stood at the entrance of the cave to block the light outside. His low tone sounded like a calm statement, or some kind of disguise comfort.

"Drinking the blood of these things will fill you up?" Jun Heng lifted his chin and glanced at the pile of stinking animal carcasses.

The man who spoke just now shook his head, he was still very hungry, but when he thought that he had become such a monster, he didn't even have the courage to go home.

"If I can be full, I won't want to bite anyone I see!" The man called "Big Brother" glared at Jun Heng roughly. The heavy rain outside obviously didn't extinguish the anger that had been rising in his heart, and he couldn't go back home. , This is the anger and grievance that can only be hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

"But—" He stared at Jun Heng's clothes, and said frankly: "I bit those two people, and they have nothing to do with my brother!"

Jun Heng nodded in understanding, the younger brother looks paler than the elder brother, and he may have done less rough work, judging by his words and expression, he is weaker.

"I……"

"To shut up!"

Just as the younger brother was about to say something, he was interrupted roughly.

"On the way home, my siblings and I were bitten by a monster that came out of nowhere... It looked like a Taoist costume." He continued, and when he was struggling, he pulled it off his waist. whisk.

"It was only when I woke up that I realized that I wasn't dead. There were only two of the four siblings left... I hurried home in a panic, only to realize that I didn't know what kind of monster I had turned into."

Smelling the popularity around them, as if I could feel the fresh blood flowing in their bodies, I couldn't control my hands and feet, and almost hurt someone.

It wasn't until the moment the sun shone on the skin and saw the festering skin on the back of their hands that they could truly believe that they had become monsters overnight.

I had no choice but to escape into this cave dwelling nearby and live by sucking the blood of animals. Although I was still hungry, I could still bear it.

"I didn't expect Xiao Wu to sneak out when we were resting during the day..." As he spoke, his arms drooped by his sides, the anger when he spoke just now completely dissipated, he was very depressed, and his tone became low.

Junheng looked at the drizzle outside with their backs behind their backs, and after a long time, there was still no sign of stopping. Raindrops seeped from the branches and leaves above their heads and landed on their muddy heads and clothes. Sitting there motionless, silent.

"Your sister has already..." Jun Heng paused suddenly, and the word "death" blurted out became "Entered reincarnation and has not received any punishment."

I couldn't see the brilliance in their eyes, but the corners of their mouths twitched suddenly when they heard this sentence, they must be relieved.

But thinking that Pei Chief had also gone through a process from sobriety to despondency, Jun Heng's eyes darkened a little, and his lips were pursed tightly.Who knows how long their mentality can persist, and I let them go for a while, if another life is lost at that time, it will cause a big mistake, and I feel a little tangled in my heart.

The strong smell of medicine outside the courtyard wafts out of the jar, lingering in the courtyard with the dense humidity after the rain. If you smell it carefully, you can feel the bitterness in it.In the house, Rongli lay peacefully on the bed.After much difficulty, his complexion turned pale again.

"You can't just move at will!" The old doctor squinted his eyes and spoke kindly.In the past two or three days, he has come to the Zhou Mansion twice, his eyes fell on the slightly pale flame knot seal, and he stroked his long silver beard with one hand.

What he means is that you can't arrange formations at will and use your own energy.

"Thank you." Rong Li leaned on the bed and nodded slightly.

"May I ask this, old man?" The old doctor tapped his fingers on his slender wrist.

Rong Li took a steady look, Chu Xi and Ziyu were busy decocting medicine, and there were only him and the old doctor in the room.

"The seal of the formation."

"Hmm..." The old master stroked his beard and nodded, "I know, I'm just curious what you use it for?"

"The living corpses in the city recently."

"Living corpses..." This is the first time the old doctor heard people call them living corpses, his white-gray eyebrows twitched. In fact, he just came over from the yamen and saw the corpses with Wu Zuo. There were obvious marks on the sides of their necks. Bite marks, deep bone visible.

"Well, a living corpse." Rong Li's every sentence was very concise.

A living corpse?

The old doctor stared at Rongli's pale face, making sure that what he said was indeed the truth, but why is it called a living corpse?

"How did it get its name?"

Rong Li licked his slightly dry lips, "They are like walking corpses, delirious, aggressive, biting and blood-sucking, and quick in action."

After thinking for a while, he said: "They are like walking dead, unconscious, aggressive, biting people and sucking blood, and quick in action." "After being bitten, they feel like a cold and can infect others."

Those who are drained of blood will die, and those who do not die will be infected.

The old doctor carefully considered this sentence in his heart, once passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, and a hundred to a thousand... Wouldn't they all become living corpses if this continued?The white eyebrows collapsed tightly, and the creases at the corners of the eyes were folded several times, stained with the dust of the years.

"That……"

"Young master, there is someone asking to see you outside, claiming to be Lu." A servant came in at the door and reported.

Just as the old doctor was about to ask, he took it back instantly.

Rong Li picked up the quilt, and said softly: "Bring them here."

"Yes."

After a while, footsteps came from outside, but it didn't sound like a person, Rong Li tilted his head and looked out.

Lu Youcai held a red paper umbrella in one hand and a little girl in the other, hiding behind him with a timid face, Shu Tian took a step forward, and nodded to him side by side with Lu Youcai.

They also smelled the smell of medicine that filled the yard just now, saw Rong Li's pale face, and the old doctor in the inner room, who originally entrusted the little girl to him, couldn't say it for a moment.

"Ahem..." Lu Youcai coughed twice, but there was no expression on his face that hadn't seen a trace of blood all year round, only the corners of his mouth twitched unintentionally.

Immediately, the eyes of several people in the room fell on him.

"Master Lu...does something happen?" Rong Li felt that he was a little embarrassed at the moment, and his face could be called stiff, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

"I just came to see if you are well, young master..." Lu Youcai tightened his hand holding the umbrella, and smelled the smell of medicine in the air, "It seems that young master needs to be taken care of, so we can't bother you any more." gone."

After finishing speaking, she nodded towards him and signaled Shu Tian to go out with her eyes.

"Aren't we here to entrust someone?"

Shu Tian stepped out of the door, muttering in a low voice that only the two of them could hear clearly.When he came out of the yamen, he saw two voices holding an umbrella to hide from the rain under the eaves, and his face was stunned for a moment.

Only then did I realize that the so-called Dafu was just the dog that the little girl often played with...

Come to think of it, Dafu...Dafu...isn't it just a special name for livestock by ordinary people!

"This is adding to the chaos!" Lu Youcai glared at him, and kept walking. The little girl who was being led was led by him to walk quickly, and he abducted out of Zhou Mansion in a short while.

They were a little annoyed in their hearts, they also knew about Rongli's status in the Zhou family, so it would be wrong to hand it over to Rongli!

At this time, there was no one on the street. The rain had already washed away the traces on the ground, but it could not wash away the pent-up worries and fears in the hearts of the people.

"I can only find a good family to help adopt..." Lu Youcai glanced at the top of the little girl's hair, with a helpless tone.

"Can't I follow my brother and uncle?" The little girl suddenly raised her head, her voice was innocent and naive, her gray pupils stared at him seriously, and there was a little water in the round eyes, as if they said they couldn't, and they were about to overflow generally.

"No!" Shu Tian said firmly.

Lu Youcai had a little smile hidden in the corner of his eyes, amused by the brother and uncle in her words.Hearing Shu Tian's distraught voice again, his mood suddenly improved.

"Who is the elder brother and who is the uncle?" asked with interest.

"You are brother." The little girl stared at him sincerely, then pointed at Shu Tian, ​​"This is uncle..."

"Well... just take a look." The corner of her mouth couldn't hide her smile.Lu Youcai looked at her pitifully, and couldn't bear to leave her here.

"..." Shu Tian shook his head speechlessly, and walked out.Nether ghosts, dead souls, and occasional living corpses didn't guarantee that they wouldn't frighten her.

Feeling that the strength in his hand was a little heavier, Lu Youcai smiled and led her to follow the person in front.

After they all left for a while, seeing off the old doctor, and listening to Chu Xi and Ziyu talking about the morning with their heads up, they didn't realize who the little girl was.

"Young master, there is another young master asking to see you outside." The servant stood outside the door with his head bowed.

Chu Xi and Ziyu looked at each other, they didn't know any of the people who came to visit Rongli today, and now another one came, and couldn't help being curious for a while.

Rong Li raised his eyes, a look of suspicion flashed across his pale face, could it be Lu Youcai?

The servant outside coughed and asked, "Look...are you refusing or..."

"Bring it here."

"Yes."

Chu Xi walked to the door and looked at the entrance of the courtyard. She wanted to see what kind of wind brought so many visiting young masters.It's just that when he saw someone coming, he suddenly exclaimed, whether it was surprise or joy, "It's him!"

Dressed in a black brocade suit, with a black headband hidden in her hair, an unusually fair and handsome face exploded in her mind, the man that Rong Li leaned over to kiss that day!His footsteps stopped abruptly, and he froze at the door. He subdued something that day, and his eyes couldn't help admiring him.

When the sound of footsteps approached, Rong Lihu curled the corners of his lips, sat up and leaned back on the edge of the bed.

Jun Heng just nodded to Chu Xi lightly, and under her surprised eyes, he strode directly into the inner room, sat on the edge of the bed, carefully looked at the pale but slightly smiling face in front of him with deep eyes .

Ziyu was also taken aback, and walked over to tug at Chu Xi's sleeves. These young masters who came out of nowhere, each one was prettier than the other... They all seemed to have a lot to do with His Highness.

"Is this person recognized by the princess?" Ziyu asked in a low voice.

"Yes, yes...it's just..."

"Just what?" Hearing this hesitation, Ziyu became even more curious.

"I thought he was someone who was underestimated by Xiao Shen'er, but I didn't expect him to be acquainted with them..."

"Then...should we...should we leave..." Ziyu curled her lips and pointed to the inner room, "Since they are familiar with each other, the princess doesn't have to worry about your Highness."

Apart from mentioning Zhou Yao's matter to himself, Rong Li never mentioned anyone else. Today, these people also look well-dressed, and they look either rich or expensive, so Chu Xi is inevitably puzzled.I looked back a few times and planned to start to investigate.

The inner room was very quiet, they stood at the door and did not hear any movement.
