Chapter 19: The butcher's shop


Chase all the way to the end of South Street, there is only a ruin left by the demolition of the house in front of you, at a glance, the broken bricks and tiles are in full view, but there is no shadow of Huancui.

Cheng Muyou hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to the butcher shop beside him.

This butcher shop is not small, it is the largest pig and sheep killing workshop in Xin'an City, every day to night, there are hundreds of pigs and sheep are driven here to slaughter, its courtyard covers an area of about half an acre, it is full of fat pigs and sheep that are hung in half, and the blood is dripping to the ground.

He did not hesitate any longer, turned and walked into the courtyard, and walked among the rows of bloody carcasses of pigs and sheep, his eyes looking around vigilantly, not daring to relax in the slightest.

A gust of autumn wind swept by, blowing the pig and sheep carcasses on both sides and shaking gently, bringing a strong smell of blood.

Cheng Muyou covered his nose with one hand, his footsteps became lighter and lighter, and his gaze passed through the interlaced corpses and landed at the end of the courtyard wall.

There, there was a figure huddled, she was holding her stomach, her body trembling slightly, but her timid eyes crossed the layers of corpses and met Cheng Muyou's gaze.

"Huancui," Cheng Muyou said these two words softly, and slowly walked towards the figure, "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not here to arrest you, I'm here to save you, I believe you haven't done anything ugly, and I also believe that the reason why you have a big belly is because of the accident outside Tianhong Temple that day." ” Huancui didn't speak, she stared at Cheng Muyou with big eyes, but her breathing became more and more rapid, and in the end, she began to exhale heavily, as if she couldn't breathe.

Cheng Muyou had already walked to her side, and when he saw Huancui's appearance, he squatted down, but his eyes fell on her big belly: this belly was even bigger than when he saw her just now, and now, it had torn all her clothes and completely exposed.

It kept throbbing, and one after another, and the blood-red lines on its belly were stretched, like a dense net covering it, which was terrifying.

Cheng Muyou has been a doctor since elementary school, and he has seen a lot of strange diseases, but this is the first time he has seen such a situation, he looked at the stomach that had been stretched brightly, and he didn't know how to react for a while, he was stunned for a while, he suddenly patted his head, "I know what to do, in this world, only she can cure you, hurry, hurry up, follow me to Jihong Embroidery Village." ” As he spoke, he helped Huan Cui up, wrapped one of her arms around her neck, and the other hand on her waist, and just supported her, walking towards the courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

But before he took a few steps, Huancui suddenly let out an exclamation, pressed his hand tightly on his belly, which was beating faster and faster, turned his head to look at Cheng Muyou, and a pair of eyes without brilliance almost jumped out of his sockets, "Big, it seems to be coming out" Cheng Muyou was startled, and reached out and pressed the back of Huancui's hand, "Girl, hold on a little longer, I'll go out and call a carriage, and we'll be able to get to Ji soon."

Before he finished speaking, Huancui suddenly pushed him away, Cheng Muyou staggered, took a few steps back, and just wanted to rush over again, when he suddenly heard a "bang".

Huancui's body exploded in front of him, blood and water mixed with viscera, flying all over the sky, in this thick blood mist, a pitch-black bird flapped its wings and flew out, and after making a hoarse strange cry, it flew straight towards Cheng Muyou, and its wings full of scales swept over his head, holding him to the ground.

Cheng Mu lay motionless, his eyes fixed on the strange bird hovering overhead: although it was not large, its claws were like sharp blades, its beak was like a curved hook, its body was not covered with feathers, and its body was covered with tiny black scales.

The most bizarre thing is its pair of eyes, those two eyeballs are milky white, like a blind man, but Cheng Muyou obviously saw his shadow from the middle.

He knew that it was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to kill itself in one fell swoop, so he kept hovering in the air, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Cheng Muyou slowly touched one hand to his waist, trying to draw his saber out as little as possible without making any sound.

However, before the sword was fully unsheathed, the strange bird noticed his movements, and with another muffled cry, it swooped down from the sky, its claws and beak glowing with a terrifying chill in the setting sun.

Cheng Muyou was frightened and rolled out a few laps on the spot, trying to avoid the attack of the strange bird.

But the strange bird rushed halfway, and actually stopped in the air and didn't move, a pair of gray-white eyes locked Cheng Muyou, its wings exploded little by little, and the same as its body, after a while, it suddenly made a "gada" sound, and then, every scale slowly stood up, like a grinning mouth.

Cheng Muyou was stunned, his body seemed to be frozen, he couldn't move, he could only watch countless black smoke burst out of the scales on the bird's body, and when he approached his side, the smoke turned into a black and scorched grimace, whimpering and wailing, wanting to surround him.

"Chirp."

A crisp chirp descended from the sky, the black smoke disappeared suddenly, Cheng Muyou took a few breaths, and when he raised his head, he saw that there were two shadows, black and blue, entangled in mid-air, fighting each other.

"Jingwei."

He let out a low cry and hurriedly drew his sword, and a skeleton rose from the ground, trying to help Jingwei.

But as soon as he raised his sword, he found that he couldn't shoot at all, because the speed of the two sides was too fast, just like two meteors moving rapidly in mid-air, and a sword slashed over, not to mention that it was extremely difficult to split, even if it was split, it might not necessarily stab anyone.

Fortunately, the person who could help arrived soon, Cheng Muyou heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and then, he saw Yan Niang flash into the courtyard, and after glancing at the air, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and threw it to the flying shadow that was inseparable from each other, and silently recited a few words in her mouth, grabbed her hand violently, and grabbed the embroidered handkerchief into the palm of her hand again.

The handkerchief was bulging, and the thing didn't seem to give up, and was struggling desperately inside, tearing it into strange shapes.

For a moment, Cheng Muyou almost thought that the strange bird was about to break through the handkerchief and fly out, because the embroidered handkerchief was pulled by it to be more than half a person's length, and there were constantly oozing strange cries from inside.

However, Yan Niang never disappointed him, she snorted lightly in her nose, "Beast, death is coming, don't waste your efforts." ” After that, the handkerchief suddenly rose from her palm into the air, and the word "卍" all over her body "噌" emitted a silver light, illuminating Cheng Muyou so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
