Blackwater Corpse Demon
Blackwater Corpse Demon
White River Village was not far from here. After walking for about half a day, they arrived at the village. When they saw the young girls who had been missing for a long time all return in a line, the village was immediately shocked. People ran around to tell each other and soon rushed over. Those who recognized their daughters and found their wives were mixed with joy and sorrow.
Li Xiaoyao looked lonely and didn't pay attention to anyone. Only Lin Yueru was busy rejecting everyone's gratitude.
"Thank you for saving us, young hero and chivalrous lady. Please accept our family's respect…"
"Please come to my humble abode and take a seat. Let us thank you properly…"
"Don't worry about such a small matter. It's nothing." Lin Yueru hurriedly said.”
" After my daughter went missing, my wife cried day and night," one of the villagers said." If it weren't for the two of you saving us, we wouldn't know how to live the rest of our lives!”"Why don't you two stay in the village for a few days? Let the whole village thank you!"”
Lin Yueru was already at a loss for words. She said,""We still have important matters to attend to, so it's not convenient for us to stay any longer.”
Her style was straightforward. She pulled Li Xiaoyao and ran out of sight.
The two of them rushed all the way to the outside of the village before stopping and sitting by the willow embankment to catch up.
Li Xiaoyao sighed. I didn't mean it…"
"Don't be discouraged!" Lin Yueru said. I believe that Sister Ling 'er will be fine.”
Li Xiaoyao had been in a daze for a long time, but he could only pull himself together. He forced a smile and said,"Looks like I have to start from the beginning!”
"But where should we start?" Lin Yueru asked.”
"I have to find Ling 'er no matter where I go!”"Hey, how's your Light-body Technique?" Li Xiaoyao jumped up and asked.”
"Not very good, but compared to the little thief, it's much better!”
"Can you teach me a few steps?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
"Why do you want to learn Qinggong?"
"I think that after learning some qinggong, I'll be able to run faster and it might be easier to find Ling 'er.”
"How fast do you want to run?" Lin Yueru asked. Running to Hei Long Jiang and Gan Su to look for her?”
"This…"
"She has only been missing for a day or two. No matter how powerful a demon is, it can't run far. I said that as long as we go in the right direction, we will definitely find her quickly.”
Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment. Although Lin Yueru's words made sense, he was still unconvinced."Then what do you think is a practical method?”
"That's because you're anxious. Why are you asking me?" Lin Yueru said. I'm not in a hurry!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and strode away. Li Xiaoyao quickly followed and said,"Hey, are you falling out with me again?"
"When did I?" Lin Yueru asked.
"Your expression is so ugly. Why are you suddenly angry again?”
" You only know how to look for Ling 'er," Lin Yueru said as she walked quickly." Why didn't you ask me if I was injured when I killed the fox demon with you?" Did you fall?"
"I know you're not hurt, why do you ask?" Li Xiaoyao asked as he chased after her.”
Lin Yueru became even angrier after hearing that. She said,""How do you know I'm not hurt?"
"I know, is there a need to ask…"
Lin Yueru felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. She couldn't help but quicken her pace so that Li Xiaoyao wouldn't see her crying."I want you to ask. It's your fault if you don't ask!”
Li Xiaoyao couldn't catch up to her and shouted from behind,""You're really ridiculous. Why do you want me to ask when I already know the answer? Hey! Wait for me!"
Lin Yueru didn't care. She simply ran as fast as she could, ignoring Li Xiaoyao who was behind her. She only stopped when she couldn't hear him anymore. She covered her face and started crying.
She did not cry for long before she calmed down. She wiped her face and took out a small comb and mirror to tidy her hair."Stinky brat, you keep making me cry. Next time, I'll make you scream!”
She sat on the spot and waited for Li Xiaoyao to catch up. After waiting for a while, Li Xiaoyao was still not there. She was a little anxious and stood up to call out,"Li Xiaoyao, are you still crawling slowly on the road? Hurry up!"
After a long time, there was still no sound.
Lin Yueru panicked and could only turn back. She shouted,""Hey! Li Xiaoyao, why are you so slow? Are you a tortoise? Hey!"
She ran back for quite a while before she saw Li Xiaoyao sitting on the side of the road, his ankle bleeding profusely.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yueru asked in shock.”
"I was bitten by a little fox while chasing a tigress," Li Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile.”
Lin Yu 'eru was furious and anxious when she heard that he was still mocking her. She said,""You…you deserve to be bitten to death! How did this happen?"
"How would I know?" Li Xiaoyao asked. All of a sudden, my leg was bitten. The fox didn't let go and tore off a piece of my flesh!”
Lin Yueru quickly bent down and personally undid Li Xiaoyao's shoes and socks. As expected, his ankle was badly mutilated and looked very scary.
Lin Yueru hurriedly tied his wound with a handkerchief and said,""We have to find a doctor to take a look!"
"It's just a flesh wound. It's nothing."”
"No, my father said that physical injuries are the most terrible. We martial artists sometimes hurt our skin and bones. If we insist on being brave and not take care of them, you will know how hard it is in twenty years! If the wound was not healed properly, it would easily damage the meridians. If the cold qi and poison gas invaded again, after the wound was sealed, the accumulated filth would not be able to disperse. It would accumulate and become an inexplicable strange disease.”
"Is it really that serious?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
"Anyway, don't joke about the wound!"
Lin Yueru lifted Li Xiaoyao's arm and wrapped it around her shoulder.""Can you leave like this?"
"Sure."
"Yes, let's go to the village and find a doctor.”
Li Xiaoyao was supported by Lin Yueru as they walked along the country road. The faint fragrance on her body constantly entered Li Xiaoyao's nose. Li Xiaoyao actually felt a trace of warmth in his heart."This girl isn't that unreasonable.”
At this moment, a farmer carrying a hoe was passing by. Seeing that Li Xiaoyao's feet and body were covered in blood, he hurriedly asked,""Is this little brother injured? Are your injuries serious?"
"Are there any doctors nearby?" Lin Yueru asked. Please show me the way."
The villagers were always enthusiastic. The farmer said,""It's not far, it's not far. I'll take you there!”
"Thank you, big brother." Lin Yu 'eru was relieved. The farmer led the way and went around a bush before reaching the main road. There were more and more people around. The farmer turned around and said to the two,""It'll be fine once we reach Fairy Doctor Han's house! Fairy Doctor Han was not only skilled in medicine, but she was also the most compassionate!”
"That's good." Lin Yueru smiled.”
As the three of them walked, they saw a large crowd of residents ahead, filling up the entire path. The farmer in front said,"Make way, make way. There are injured people who need to go to Doctor Han's house. Everyone, make way…"
They shouted all the way so that Lin Yueru could help Li Xiaoyao pass by. Lin Yueru turned around curiously and saw that those people were all crowded in front of a shop. No one was willing to give way.
"What does that shop sell?" Lin Yueru asked curiously. There are so many people?"
The farmer's face sank and he curled his lips.”
"Black-hearted goods? What is it?" Li Xiaoyao was puzzled.
"Glutinous Rice."
"Glutinous rice is an ordinary thing. Why did it become black-hearted?" Lin Yueru asked.”
"Don't you know that glutinous rice can cure zombies?" asked the farmer.”
"So what?" Lin Yueru asked.
The farmer said," A little further from our village is Blackwater Town. There are zombies in Blackwater Town now. Everyone is very afraid!”
"Then go buy glutinous rice elsewhere. Why do you have to squeeze here?" Lin Yueru said.”
"That damned Minister Luo!" the farmer said. When the neighboring village was plagued by zombies, he bought glutinous rice at a slightly higher price than the market price. All the farmers and rice shops sold glutinous rice to him. Now, everyone is worried that the demonic corpses in Black Water Town will come to White River Village to cause trouble, so they are fighting to buy glutinous rice to deal with the zombies. A small bag in his palm costs 100 wen.”
"How can there be such a black-hearted person?" Lin Yueru asked angrily. He didn't care about human lives at all!”
"He only knows money, not human life," the farmer said with a wry smile.”
Finally, they left the crowd at Luo's Rice Shop. Apricot trees were in front of them, emitting a faint fragrance. The houses were white and neat, looking quiet and elegant under the shadows of the trees.
The farmer said," That's where Doctor Han's house is. You can go there yourself. I'm not going."”
Lin Yueru saw that the farmer looked a little scared and felt strange, but she didn't ask any more questions. She thanked him a few times before helping Li Xiaoyao walk through the open door.
However, as soon as she walked in, Lin Yueru was shocked. There was an open courtyard inside the door. It was covered with many white coarse cloths, and a group of dying patients were lying on the ground.
A young girl shuttled between them, feeding them water and medicine, and occasionally giving instructions to the boy holding the medicine bottle beside her.
When the young girl saw that someone was there, she raised her head. Her face was beautiful, and her long, beautiful eyes emitted a kind light.
She stood up and said,"This young master is injured. Is his injury very serious?"”
"He was bitten by a fox," Lin Yueru said.”
Li Xiaoyao added,"When I was chasing the tigress!"”
Lin Yueru glared at him and said,""You know that there's hope, so you're laughing at me? If I had known earlier, I would have left you on the road and let you bleed!”
"It's too late for you to regret now!" Li Xiaoyao laughed.”
The woman looked at her injuries and said,""It's fine. Come in."
Although Lin Yueru had argued verbally with Li Xiaoyao, she still helped him into the house. Unexpectedly, there were even more people in the house. Some were lying on bamboo beds, while others were sitting on a row of stools, waiting for treatment.
At the end of the hall, there was a wide table filled with acupuncture tools, portraits, bone models, and some medicinal herbs and papers. A tall and thin old man in a loose robe was sitting on a chair, taking people's pulse.
The room was filled with low moans."Ouch…It hurts!"
"What a terrifying monster!"
"Yu 'Er, where are you?”
Li Xiaoyao felt his heart ache. The young girl helped Li Xiaoyao sit down and turned her head,""Ah 'Bao, come over here and clean this young master's wound.”
With that, he turned around and left to take care of the injured.
A child with a double bun responded and quickly came over. He knelt in front of Li Xiaoyao and helped him untie the handkerchief tied to him, and cleaned his wound with agile movements. Initially, Lin Yueru was still a little worried when she saw that he was so young. However, after seeing that he was skilled in his movements, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Ah 'Bao, who's that girl?" Lin Yueru asked.”
Before Ah 'Bao could answer, a resident nearby said,"Are you from another village? Everyone in the village knew about Fairy Doctor Han and his daughter. She was Fairy Doctor Han's daughter, Miss Meng Ci. She was beautiful and kind-hearted!”
"Her medical skills are also very good?" Lin Yueru asked.”
"Of course. Otherwise, how could the Fairy Doctor Han handle two villagers?”
"There's only one doctor in two villages?" Lin Yueru asked curiously.”
" No," another villager said." It's the people of the two villages who believe in the Han Fairy Doctor. Only the Han Fairy Doctor is willing to take in people who have been bitten by zombies like this!"”
"What?"
The villager pointed at the person lying on the ground and said,"Those people were all bitten by zombies. Each of them had different symptoms.”
Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao turned their heads in surprise. As expected, the people lying on the courtyard outside did not look like living people. Although they could move, their faces were either black or their eyes were dull. Some of them had grown strange fangs and were bound to the ground.
It was no wonder that the farmer did not dare to get close. What was rare was that Han Mengci was not afraid at all. She shuttled through the crowd and took care of these people with great care, recording their illnesses.
As he spoke, another person was dragged in. It was a person with a broken leg and blood dripping non-stop.
When the Fairy Doctor Han saw this, she quickly stood up and went out to welcome the patient with a broken leg. She helped him in and treated him first. That person had already fainted. Doctor Han asked as she gave him first aid,"How could he be injured like this?"
The two people who helped him here said to Fairy Doctor Han,"We escaped from Blackwater Town on the east bank of the river. Zombies are chasing us…"
"Yeah, fortunately, we were lucky and weren't bitten. He was bitten. In order to escape, he fell from a high place and his entire leg was broken!”
The patient with the broken leg suddenly shouted,""My…my arm is so itchy, so itchy…"
He woke up and only cared about the itch. Fairy Doctor Han hurriedly said,"Hold his hand, don't let him grab it.”
The two men hurriedly pressed down on his hand. The man was wailing endlessly, but he did not feel anything about his broken leg. He only complained about the itch. Fairy Doctor Han took out a golden knife and cut open his arm. There were a few black teeth marks on his arm. Once it was cut open, black blood oozed out, and the stench was unbearable.
Black Blood flowed for a while, and the man's moaning gradually became softer, but it turned into a cry of pain."Oh, it hurts, my leg…"
After Fairy Doctor Han bandaged his arm, she instructed the two men,"If the place where he was bitten becomes itchy again later, don't let him scratch it, and you guys aren't allowed to scratch it for him either. Otherwise, the corpse poison will stick to other parts of your body, and it will be dangerous.”
The two of them hurriedly agreed, and Doctor Han went to treat the others.
Li Xiao Yao was dumbstruck. Each of these people had more serious injuries than him.
Po not only cleaned Li Xiao Yao's wound, but also applied the medicine on it. He said,"Young Master, your injuries are no longer a problem. You can leave now.”
"What's up with that demonic corpse?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
Ah 'Bao said, Why don't you ask these people?”
Everyone's faces were filled with worry, and some of them were children who seemed to have no injuries. They didn't know why they stayed here."Fairy Doctor Han is not only taking in patients, but also this child whose parents were bitten by zombies. Who knows how many more people will come in!”
"Do you think Ling 'er was captured by a demonic corpse?" Li Xiaoyao asked Lin Yueru.”
" That's hard to say," Lin Yu 'eru said." If there are demons nearby, even if they didn't take Sister Ling' er away, we can still ask if there are other demons around."”
"Alright, let's go and ask!" Li Xiaoyao said.”
"Can you leave now?" Lin Yueru asked as she helped Li Xiaoyao up.”
Li Xiao Yao nodded, then said to Ah 'Bao,"Little friend, thank you for your miraculous hand. May I ask, how do I get to Blackwater Town?”
As soon as he said that, all the patients in the room looked in Li Xiaoyao's direction.
Even Fairy Doctor Han looked at him and said,"What are you asking?"
"We want to go outside the village, and we would like to ask you to tell us how to get there."”
"What are you doing outside the village?" Fairy Doctor Han asked unhappily.”
"We're not afraid of zombies, don't worry!" Li Xiaoyao said.”
"The guards have already guarded the road to Blackwater Town.”Fairy Doctor Han said.
" Senior," Lin Yu 'eru said," you're worried that we might meet with mishaps. We appreciate your kindness, but if we want to go, we'll still find the way ourselves even if you don't tell us the way…"
"I said you're not allowed to go, so you're not allowed to go!”Fairy Doctor Han said as she slammed the table.
"Why can't you?" Lin Yueru asked.”
"This is the village's rule!”
"Who made that rule?"
"Village Chief."
"Then I'll go beg the village chief…"
"I am the village chief." Fairy Doctor Han said.
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were stunned for a moment. Judging from the expressions of all the patients, they did not seem to be faking it.
Li Xiaoyao said," This…We have important matters to attend to. We can't delay this. A mere zombie can't trouble us."”
Han Mengci walked in and said gently,""You two, don't think that it looks peaceful. This village looks peaceful during the day, but at night, the zombies will gather and cause trouble. It's very scary! It's too dangerous for the two of you to go rashly!”"What a pair of ignorant children!" Fairy Doctor Han muttered.”
Li Xiaoyao was not convinced. He said,"We even subdued the snake demon and fox demon that caused trouble in the White River. Do you think we can take a mere zombie seriously?!"”
Han Mengci said," The two of you may not know this, but everyone in Blackwater Town values martial arts. Even if they were to encounter a zombie rebellion, they would become a dead town overnight. Furthermore, there are only two of you. No matter how brave you are, it won't work."
"If we are harmed by zombies, we can only blame ourselves for not being skilled enough," Lin Yueru said.”
Han Mengci's attitude became even more resolute. She said,""My father didn't mean to make things difficult for the two of you. If you are bitten by a zombie, not only will you suffer, but if the corpse poison acts up, you will also become a zombie and hurt others. Now that the demonic corpses in Blackwater Town were wreaking havoc in the east of the river, the commoners had no choice but to flee to their village. The village could not even take care of itself. Whether they went to Blackwater Town or not was no longer a matter of whether they wanted to live or not, but a matter of everyone's safety.”
Hearing her words, Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao became even more anxious. What if Ling 'er had already been injured by the zombie? Could he have already become a zombie? Looking around, there was a wave of wailing. He really couldn't imagine Ling 'er becoming like this!
"That's true, but treating people alone won't solve the problem!" Li Xiaoyao said. As long as the demonic corpses were not eliminated, the residents here would never have a day of peace. Why don't we think of a way to get rid of the demonic corpse?”
"It's easier said than done!" Fairy Doctor Han said.”
"Yeah, zombies are different from other monsters. They were invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire, and even more terrifying was that they could release corpse poison. Once the poison gas attacked the heart, even a Celestial Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven could not save him.”
"In the past, demonic corpses would only appear on nights without moonlight. Recently, they would run amok in broad daylight. If this continued, even White River Village would be uninhabitable.”
Li Xiaoyao said," In this world, one thing counters another. Demons are no exception. I believe there must be a way to deal with those demonic corpses!"”
Fairy Doctor Han sighed and did not say anything. It seemed that she also hoped to get rid of the demon.
" Brother Xiaoyao," Lin Yueru pulled Li Xiaoyao and said," I think it's better for us to stay calm and think of a solution slowly."”
"Think of a way slowly?" Li Xiaoyao asked. How do I know if something will happen to Ling 'er when I'm thinking about it slowly? Are you afraid of being frightened?"
"Are you that impatient?" Lin Yueru said angrily."Can you succeed just because you're impatient?" Alright, you can go crash around alone! Don't blame me if you become a zombie! If Sister Ling 'er falls into the hands of a zombie, what can your anxiety change?”
"If you're afraid, then don't go. I'll go save Ling 'er alone!" Li Xiaoyao shouted.”
Lin Yueru couldn't take it anymore. She raised her hand and slapped Li Xiaoyao's face heavily.
Li Xiaoyao was startled. At this moment, a soft voice came from somewhere,"Brother Xiaoyao…"
Li Xiaoyao pressed his face. It was as if his entire body had been struck by lightning. He heard it. It was indeed Zhao Ling 'er's call!
Lin Yueru was also stunned. She wasn't sure what she heard, but it did sound like someone was calling Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao looked around. There were only a few suspicious and unfamiliar faces. Whether they were conscious or unconscious, Zhao Ling 'er was not there.
Li Xiao Yao was so anxious that he felt like he was on fire. He shouted,"Ling 'Er! Where are you?"
Lin Yu 'eru was anxious and thought, Oh no, is Brother Xiaoyao so anxious that he's lost his mind?”
Han Mengci seemed to have thought of something and said,"Could it be that her name is Ling Er?"
"What?" Li Xiaoyao asked hurriedly. Who are you talking about?"
" Two days ago, a lady fainted on the road and was sent here," Han Mengci said." She never woke up, so I don't know her name…"”
"Quickly bring me to take a look!" Li Xiaoyao didn't wait for Han Mengci to finish speaking before he said anxiously.
"Come with me quickly. It's good that you're her family. She has some…mm, there are some things that she needs to tell her family.”
Han Mengci turned around and walked toward the side corridor. Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru followed her through the corridor and came to a row of small rooms. Han Mengci opened one of the small rooms. When she saw the person on the bed, Li Xiaoyao was stunned.
The unconscious person lying on the bed with a face as pale as paper was Zhao Ling 'er.
