Xu Xian sighed, stood up gently, and walked slowly to the back room.
Although the back room was pitch black, his eyesight was amazing and he could easily see the situation inside through the paper window.
The back room was not big, and there were almost no decorations. The most eye-catching thing was a coffin that occupied almost the entire room.
At this moment, there was a constant creaking sound coming from the coffin. It was the sound of the coffin's lid being slowly opened.
Under such a strange situation, the old woman stood in the darkness and watched.
The lid of the coffin was finally opened, revealing the situation inside.
It was the corpse of a young man.
The corpse was wearing a well-tailored robe and had a neat bun. Although the body was tied up with hemp rope, it was still struggling.
His body was leaning against the coffin, and his mouth was stuffed with sackcloth, but he still kept growling.
A green light was emitted from his pale eyes, which were filled with bloodlust and cruelty.
It was obvious that this was a zombie.
However, the old woman was not afraid at all. There was only sorrow in her eyes.
"Grandson, don't be anxious. Grandma will give you blood to drink now.”
His voice was filled with affection.
After she finished speaking, she took out the awl that she had prepared earlier, rolled up her sleeves, and stabbed it fiercely into her arm. Perhaps it was because she was too weak, but not much blood actually flowed out.
There were only intermittent drops of blood on the zombie's face.
The zombie struggled even harder.
He needed more blood.
"Don't worry, don't worry. There's still more."
The old woman did not seem to feel any pain. Her wrinkled face was smiling happily. She actually drilled the awl into her flesh again.
More blood flowed out.
However, the zombie struggled even harder.
The old woman was already on the verge of collapse.
At this moment, the smile on her face finally disappeared.
"Sigh…"
"Good grandson, it's all grandma's fault for being useless…"
"Grandma couldn't take care of you when you were alive. Grandma couldn't feed you even if you died. You're a good child. It's all Nanny's fault. Grandma didn't listen to you. If I had promised you to leave this place earlier, you wouldn't have died.”
The old woman muttered as she removed the cloth from the zombie's mouth. Then, she placed her arm directly beside the zombie's mouth.
As expected, the zombie bit down on the arm and chewed, moaning in satisfaction.
The old woman trembled in pain, but she did not dodge.
She weakly crawled on the coffin, her face covered in tears.
"There are no living people for you to eat today…"
"I'll let you eat your fill tonight. Without me in the future, you have to take good care of yourself.”
"Oh right, a scholar came to my house at night.”
"You used to worship scholars the most, so you must be overjoyed to see them.”
"But Grandma's heart ached when she saw that person. He was handsome, just like you were in the past.”
"You're a good child, and that scholar must be the same.”
"Grandson…"
"Go to sleep after eating tonight. Don't harm that scholar. Grandma wants him to walk out of here because Grandma looks at him as if she's looking at you.”
The old woman had lost her mind and her voice was intermittent.
However, she did not look away from her grandson.
Although Xu Xian didn't fully understand what had happened here, he could roughly guess what had happened.
In fact, he didn't look like the living corpse at all. It could even be said that he had nothing to do with it. However, to the old woman, perhaps it was his identity as a scholar or his similar age. As long as there was anything, it would satisfy her fantasies.
Then they were similar.
Xu Xian didn't know how long the old woman had been feeding the living corpse. He didn't want to think about whether the old woman would have good intentions when she met other people, nor did he want to think about how she could survive in a place full of living corpses.
All of this was not important.
Bang!
Perhaps it was because it was full, the zombie's strength increased greatly, and it actually directly broke the rope. Then, it grabbed the old woman and began to devour her even more cruelly.
Xu Xian closed his eyes.
Then, he walked in.
The old woman's eyes were already unfocused. She saw Xu Xian, but she was speechless.
Xu Xian smiled and said gently.
"I will live well.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman opened her mouth and laughed silently. As she laughed, her pupils dilated and lost all expression.
Xu Xian immediately turned around, not looking at the zombie that was still devouring the old woman's arm.
When he walked into the courtyard, he gently stroked the mane of the date red horse and said in a low voice,
"Burn."
The scorching red light instantly covered the entire courtyard, and then there was a sizzling sound.
The entire courtyard turned into ashes in an instant.
Xu Xian muttered as he looked up at the crescent moon that was half-hidden behind the clouds.
"Presumably, that senior brother of mine should be arriving soon. Let's go, it's time to go to Guobei County.”
Coincidentally, just as Xu Xian was about to leave, a loud noise came from afar.
He exerted a little strength under his feet and arrived at the entrance of the village in an instant.
Not far away, there was a group of horses with broken bones and tendons lying on the ground. There was also a carriage that was about to fall apart.
Not far away from the carriage, a young man dressed like a coachman was surrounded by a dense group of zombies.
What surprised Xu Xian even more was that although the coachman was on the verge of death, he didn't look afraid of death at all!
"What a good man!"
