In the drowsiness, Ming Xia heard a strange sound, as if there were many coins in a huge bag, and this bag was hanging high in the air.As the bag shakes, the coins rub against each other and make a rattling sound.The gray bird reluctantly retreated as if driven away by the strange sound.And the sound of what seemed to be a gunshot was approaching and becoming clearer and clearer.Ming Xia opened his eyes and saw the light and shadow swaying in the gaps between the doors and windows, as if someone was flashing quickly from outside the door.Then there was a sound of footsteps stopping outside the door of the pet store.Is there anyone in the house?
Someone slapped twice on the roller shutter, we are the rescue team!
The people in the house scrambled to carry the tall bags of dog food.As soon as the bag was removed, everyone found that there was a big crack in the glass door near the ground, and the dog food bag next to it was also scratched, and the dog food was spilled on the ground.But fortunately, these bags are in the way, otherwise the gray bird would have gotten in.At the same time as the dog food bag was removed, the roller shutter rattled and someone lifted it from the outside.The bright light came to the face, stabbing people almost without opening their eyes.Fast!
Fast!
The person at the door shouted, follow me immediately!
Tu Qing only remembered Ming Xia at this time, and hurriedly ran back to set him up, Ming Xiaoliu, can you still hold on?
Comrade, we have someone injured here!
The man in the black protective suit strode in, grabbed Ming Xia's arm and picked him up, can you go?
Ming Xia nodded.He is also a big man anyway, and at this time, where he is willing to become a burden to others, he naturally gritted his back molars to keep up.Tu Qing walked at the end, looking left and right with a reluctant face, I won't leave, they have to be accompanied.Tu Qing looked at the large and small cages in the store at a loss.At the moment, it's not realistic to get all the pets away, but it's obviously not a good idea to leave them at home or out the house.The rescuer wearing protective clothing couldn't help but say, grabbed Tu Qing's collar and pushed him out, hurry up, you can still use the roller shutter here, and you can withstand it for a while.One of his hands was still gripping Ming Xia, who was staggered by him, and one of them hit Tu Qing's back without paying attention.Tu Qing didn't know why, he suddenly stood at the door as if he was stupid.Mingxia's wound was touched, and he grinned in pain, I said what kind of god are you stunned?
Tu Qingmu pointed ahead blankly, look!
Ming Xia looked up and was instantly dumbfounded.In just one morning, the world outside the door has changed beyond recognition.The neat streets and squares turned into a sea of gray-and-white feathers, densely covered with gray-white bird carcasses, and bird feathers and droppings fell everywhere, mixed with patches of dazzling blood.The plane trees in the square and the dark eaves and ridges in the distance also seemed to be covered with snow, so that the original color was almost indiscernible.Tu Qing and Ming Xia glanced at each other, and they both saw a kind of dazed and panic in each other's eyes.Tu Qing sighed, gently pushed Ming Xia, let's go.Several little girls were escorted by rescuers to go first, leaving the rescuers behind the palace to support Ming Xia with one hand and pull the roller shutter down with the other.Tu Qing hurriedly went up to help, still chattering in his mouth, saying that he would come back later, so that the little babies should not be afraid of Yunyun.At this time, the people hiding near the square followed the rescuers one after another.In the early autumn weather, the clothes everyone wore were not thick, many people were wearing colors, and a few were simply carried out on stretchers.Some wept suppressedly, others cursed angrily, and many more remained silent with tired looks.Ming Xia was dragged by the rescuers, and ran forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Although he deliberately wanted to avoid the bird carcasses on the ground, there were many places where there was really no place to put his feet, so he could only grit his teeth and step on them.The corpse of the bird under its feet has a soft elasticity, and because of the feathers, it will have a strange smoothness.Mingxia noticed that some of these bird corpses were shot to death, and some of them had no wounds on their bodies for unknown reasons.This type of bird corpse will feel even more stiff when stepped on.Ming Xia seemed to sink into a strange and lengthy dream, and the sensations in her body gradually became numb, only the touch on her arm that was tightly grasped by another person was extremely vivid.Ming Xia muttered to herself: Be sober, Ming Xiaoliu.They were walking out along East Street at the moment, and the porch on this side was crushed by the gray birds in a few places, and it was impossible to see the situation under the porch from the outside, and it was impossible to determine whether there were gray birds hiding, so everyone was extra careful when passing through the collapsed place.Not far ahead is the exit of East Street, and by here, the number of bird carcasses on the ground has begun to slowly decrease.Before Ming Xia could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the rescuers walking in front suddenly shout and lie down.Ming Xia, who was running, didn't react, so he felt a strong force coming from his arm, and his body threw himself uncontrollably to the side and crashed into the arms of the rescuers.At the same time, there was a soft pop in my ears, and then warm water droplets splashed out, and the fishy smell overflowed, sprinkled all over Ming Xia's body.A gray bird grazed his shoulder and fell to the ground, a large hole in his chest blasted open, and his wings were still fluttering desperately.Mingxia stood up straight, his shoulders trembling slightly.The rescuer let go of his hand, wiped a handful on Ming Xia's face very rudely, and comforted him and said: Don't be afraid, this bird is not poisonous.Tomorrow summer, ordinary people splashed their faces with blood, will the first thing they think of is whether it is poisonous or not?!
Ming Xia couldn't help but rub his chin with his sleeve, thinking that this person was really good at talking.With such a fall, the wound on his shoulder opened again.The warm liquid ran down his arm and fell on the corpse of the gray bird, which looked like blood stains on the gray bird's body.This completely unfamiliar touch is far greater than the pain for Ming Xia, who has never been seriously injured.However, he was so frightened today that he could hypnotize himself and pretend that he didn't see anything.Thank you.Ming Xia thanked him in a hoarse voice, if this person hadn't dragged him just now, the gray bird's claws would have grabbed his head.The rescuer was about to speak, but his pupils shrank suddenly.He grabbed Ming Xia's arm and pushed him hard, pushing him under the half-collapsed porch, and shouted: Go in!
Ming Xia was dizzy and was pushed into the half-collapsed porch, and found that the doors and windows of the shop under the porch were wide open, so he hurriedly rushed in.This is a small shop that sells cosmetics, probably because the doors and windows were open before the accident, but it is well preserved, but the things in the store are a little messy, and I don't know if it was turned over by people or birds.Ming Xia was hurriedly closing the window, and the two hidden wooden doors were pushed open from the outside, and several embarrassed people rushed in, followed by a flock of gray birds, chasing after them in a resolute swooping posture.One of the two rescuers running at the back closed the door, and the other fired two shots at the closing crack of the door, smashing the two gray birds that had half of their bodies squeezed into the crack of the door, and flew upside down.The door closed quickly, and there was a crackling sound on the panel.Fortunately, because the porch collapsed to cover the window, there was no gray bird coming to hit the glass for a while.The crowd was stunned.Ming Xia noticed that half of Tu Qing's collar was torn off, and there were a few bird feathers on his hair, but fortunately he was not injured.The rest of the people were more or less lightly injured, and the crying little girl had broken her foot and her ankle was swollen high.Perhaps numb from the fright, she seemed much calmer than she had been in the morning.The rescuer who fired the shot slid down the door, stretched out his hand and pushed his helmet up, let out a long breath and said, "Rest for a while, take a breath, and go out later."
Under the helmet, a slightly tired young face was revealed, with a slightly dark complexion, two heroic sword eyebrows raised slightly, and the eyes were like deep pools, implying the intention of slaughter.Ming Xia couldn't help but glance at him more, and whispered to Tu Qing: I seem to have seen him somewhere.Tu Qing grinned dryly, you must have remembered it wrong!
Chapter 6 Food MarkingThe small shop was probably designed to create a vintage feel, and many of the original things in the structure of the house were retained, such as old-fashioned beams, columns, carved window lattices, and two old wooden doors nearly three inches thick.This is much stronger than the glass door of a pet store, and once the copper buckle is closed, even a few strong men can't knock it open.The grey bird was still banging tirelessly on the door, but the dull and dense sound of the crash was no longer frightening.On the one hand, the crowd is one thing, and on the other hand, two rescue workers are communicating with the outside world through the handheld computers they carry with them.This filled everyone with the confidence of being rescued.Ming Xia and Tu Qing rested against the counter, there were not so many chairs in the room, and it was too cold to sit directly on the brick floor, so Tu Qing turned out a few thick cardboards from under the counter to serve as cushions.But Mingxia still felt cold, perhaps because of excessive blood loss, and his consciousness was a little drowsy.Tu Qing took off the short-sleeved shirt on his body and wrapped it around Ming Xia, but such a thin piece of clothing could not keep warm at all.Mingxia is still shrunk into a ball and shaking.The rest of the room also noticed the scene, but in early autumn, it was lukewarm weather, and most of them were wearing only one shirt, and they were scratched by gray birds, so there was nothing they could do if they were in a hurry.The movement caught the attention of two rescuers, one of whom walked over and reached out to try it on Ming Xia's forehead.Tu Qing stared at his movements, and when he saw that he reached out to untie his protective jacket, he hurriedly reached out and stopped it, this is not good.For these rescuers, protective clothing is not only used to keep them warm, but also to charge into battle.The deep and shallow scratches on the suits show that they are in countless times more danger than civilians.In case he gets injured because of this, can he and Mingxia take this responsibility?
The rescuers ignored his obstruction, took off their protective clothing, and bent down to wrap themselves around Ming Xia.There was only a black T-shirt left in the protective suit, and his chest and back were soaked with sweat, and as he got up, a palm-sized dark cyan icon on his chest was revealed.The color of the icon is close to that of a T-shirt, and it is difficult to see the pattern on it unless it is very close.Tu Qing's gaze stayed on the icon for a moment, and his expression became a little complicated.After hesitating for a moment, he still reached out and tugged at the collar of the protective suit, carefully wrapping Ming Xia tightly.Nanjiang, Tu Qing shouted to the man who was about to turn around and leave, and said earnestly: Thank you.I owe you a favor.Little things.Nanjiang glanced at him lightly, you don't hide from us anymore.Tu Qing wanted to speak and stopped.Nanjiang turned around and strode back to his companion's side.Tu Qing looked down at Ming Xia, who was leaning on his shoulder and was sleepy, and sighed slightly.Mingxia was just dizzy and uncomfortable, not really fainted.The subconscious perception of danger also prevented him from really relaxing, so he was still aware of any movement around him.He knew that Tu Qing and the other person had wrapped him in thick clothes, which made him feel much more comfortable, but soon they were both nervous again.A figure in a black T-shirt walked up to him and carried him on his back.Being the object of special care made Ming Xia a little frustrated.He kept reminding himself not to drag others down, but he didn't expect to be injured and still become a burden to the team.Ming Xia lay on the stranger's broad back and asked him in a daze, what kind of monster is this?
Why are you so fierce?
The man carrying him was silent for a moment, and then whispered: It's Rollo.Ming Xia had never heard such a name, and he never knew that in addition to the vultures that eat carrion, there was such a fierce bird that loved to eat fresh meat.It's scary.Ming Xia muttered inarticulately, they must think that human flesh is delicious, and it is easy to catch if they tell the news to other animals Nan Jiang laughed dumbly, thinking that this child was very interesting, half of his arms were gnawed by birds, and he was still worried about the safety of all mankind.Ming Xia felt in a daze that they seemed to have run a long way, and Luo Luo haunted from time to time above his head, but fortunately, there was no danger.Then they walked into a large, dimly lit house, surrounded by a large number of people, buzzing and crying that made his head ache.The scene soon changed again, and they seemed to leave the noisy crowd behind and enter a small quiet room.When there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, Ming Xia finally opened his eyes with difficulty.Don't look.A familiar voice came to his ears, and at the same time, a large hand reached out, blocking half of his face.Ming Xia breathed a sigh of relief, Lao Tu?
Where are we?
Number Sixteen.Tu Qing whispered: The rescue team has sent all the rescued people here.The doctor is treating your wounds, and you will be fine immediately, bear with me.Mingxia gritted his teeth.He thought that the wound was numb from pain, but he didn't expect it to hurt so much.An old man's voice next to him said, "The young man is very strong."
Ming Xia smiled bitterly, he was dizzy all the way, what kind of strength is this.Your wound is so big that you have to get a few stitches.The old man said: But young people, they have strong resilience, and they will be relieved in a few days, leaving a scar at most.Is the scar a man's medal, it's okay.Mingxia inhaled in pain, doctor, don't we have any anesthesia or medicine here?
The old doctor also sighed, not that there was no anesthesia and medicine, but that we found an unknown substance in Luo Luo's saliva, which can cause slight and hallucinations.Hemp and medicine don't work at all.As soon as he said this, Ming Xia felt better, it turned out that he was not fainting weakly, but was drugged by the gray bird.He said, he used to be the main force on the basketball court, where is he so delicate.The wound was quickly healed.As soon as Tu Qing withdrew the hand that was blocking his eyes, he heard the old doctor ask very suspiciously, what kind of smell is this?
Mingxia's heart jumped, and she secretly wondered if she had a fox odor overnight?!
Why else does everyone say they have a smell on their bodies?
Ming Xia looked at the old doctor in a daze, humming and chirping, I don't know why, someone said this early in the morning, and the owner of the bookstore next door gave me dried wormwood and let me take a bath.The old doctor touched a short beard on his chin thoughtfully.He is probably slightly older than Boss Bi, who opened a bookstore, wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, dry and thin, not looking like a doctor, but like the old fairy in the TV series.Ming Xia touched the wound that was very carefully bandaged, and wondered uncertainly, or maybe this was a retired old doctor who was temporarily recruited to help when he was in his old age in the Taoist temple?
The old doctor looked him up and down with a pair of slender eyes, what did you hit?
Ming Xia looked at Tu Qing suspiciously, and saw that he was also thoughtful, and couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.But the old doctor's question is really hard to answer.He recalled the experience of the past two days, and said tentatively: It's nothing, it's just the bathroom door.I didn't see it clearly when I went to the toilet in the middle of the night, so I bumped into it, and before I finished speaking, the two people on the opposite side showed expressions of crying and laughing.Mingxia was a little confused, and I didn't know what was wrong with this answer.But the old doctor leaned over and sniffed at his shoulder, frowned and asked him, where were you last night?
It's right in the store, and the sidewalk in front of the door.Ming Xia vaguely remembered that someone had asked similar questions, so he recounted last night's experience in detail.I thought it was an inconsequential trifle, but I didn't expect that after the old doctor heard it, his brows were furrowed and he was about to kill flies.No wonder the old doctor muttered to himself, took out a bottle of potion and a packet of cotton wool and handed it to Tu Qing to help him wipe it well.He turned his head and told Ming Xia, don't be too troublesome, take off your clothes, and the focus is not to fall your hair, neck, and back.If you can't wipe it clean, it's really a big problem.I'm going to have to report it quickly.After saying that, he hurried out with his contact.The moment the door opened, Mingxia heard a buzzing sound, a bit like the noise before the concert began.When Ming Xia remembered the semi-comatose state, he heard someone say that the people who were rescued in the old city were all gathered together.It didn't seem that he had misheard.He was just a little curious about where there was such a spacious place in the old town.
