The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 401: Demons in Troubled Times

"Father..."

While Pei Wende was treating old man Cao, Afeng, Pei Hong and his group who were waiting outside the house also looked inside with frowning.

Especially Afeng, who is the "culprit", he is looking forward to the recovery of old man Cao.

For A Feng who grew up in this inn since childhood, old man Cao is his only relative. If the other party dies due to his negligence, he will never forgive himself in his life.

"Don't worry, Wende will cure the old man."

He reached out and patted A Feng's shoulder. After Pei Hong comforted him a little, in order to divert the other party's attention, he asked a question that had troubled him for a long time.

"Afeng, can you explain to us in detail the scene when the old man was injured?"

Speaking of this, Pei Hong's tone involuntarily paused, and his expression looked a little puzzled.

"Where did that monster come from?"

"Where are you now?"

In Pei Hong's impression, although monsters are famous for being weird and unpredictable, they also have their own purpose, and this monster that attacked the station must be the same.

It's just that Pei Hong didn't know whether it was old man Cao's counterattack that severely injured the opponent, or whether the opponent had other plans to hide.

"The monster?"

After being reminded by Pei Hong, Afeng couldn't help recalling all the abnormalities of the monster during the attack.

............................................................................................................

Things have to start from the evening a few days ago.

Just after Afeng sent off a certain post official, he found a tired "woman" lying at the door of the post station?
In fact, the reason why the word "woman" is put in quotation marks here is because the other party's body is too thin, so thin that no female features can be seen at all.

His skinny figure, unkempt face, and those pair of lifeless eyes...

If it weren't for Afeng's years of contact with various figures of various religions and nine streams, and he could barely see the clues from some details, I'm afraid ordinary people really wouldn't be able to identify them.

Even so, Afeng is not sure if that "female" is really a woman.

However, regardless of the gender of the "woman", when Afeng saw the other party fainted at the gate of the inn, he still planned to go to help her without saying a word.

"Are you OK?"

When Afeng really saw the woman's face, he realized that the other person's appearance was really horrible.

Not to mention the malnutrition caused by long-term hunger, but the various bite marks and teeth marks on the woman's body, it can be seen that the other party must have suffered inhuman torture before.

"..."

Looking up blankly at A Feng who was rushing over, the woman seemed to want to open her mouth to say something, but she was too weak to make a sound.

"Old man! Come and save someone!"

Seeing this situation, A Feng didn't care about other things, he hugged the woman up, planning to carry her into the post station first.

As for the abnormal wound on the woman's body, as well as the stench mixed with various smells, he could no longer care about it.

"Woooooooo..."

The Naihe woman didn't seem to want A Feng to touch her body, and when she saw the other party hugging her, she immediately struggled like crazy.

"what!"

Unable to defend himself, Afeng's arm was scratched by the opponent, and dripping blood gushed out from the wound in an instant.

"I don't know what happened to you before, but I'm saving you now!"

Seeing this, the woman who was still struggling stopped immediately, but at this moment, there was a touch of despair in those dull eyes.

——She just wants to live, she doesn't want to hurt anyone...

"Bastard, are you nosy again?!"

On the other side, seeing A Feng carrying back a refugee from the outside who knew at a glance that he would not live long, old man Cao was taken aback for a moment, and then cursed loudly.

"Don't you know this is an official post? Can't you just bring people in?"

Completely accustomed to old man Cao's cursing, Afeng put the woman on a table, and then said to himself.

"Old man, where did you put the golden sore medicine last time? Lend me to use it!"

He glared at the other party with hatred, but after all, the old man Cao couldn't hold back this increasingly "willful" kid, so he could only curse angrily.

"Go and deal with your own wound first, this guy asked me to do it."

Scolding is scolding, distressing still needs to be distressed, the arrogant old man Cao pointed to A Feng's wound, and motioned to the other party to clean it first, and be careful of contracting tetanus.

In this day and age, tetanus caused by wound infection is a fatal disease.

Even in the 21st century, where medical science is advanced, there are not a few people who are infected and die every year due to neglect of trauma.

"Understood, old man."

Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, what Afeng is most afraid of now is that old man Cao will ignore this woman and let her fend for herself.

Fortunately, old man Cao was just duplicity as usual, and he was not really angry because of his act of saving people without authorization.

............................................................................................................

"Wait, you just said that you were also scratched by that demon... woman?"

Pei Hong originally wanted to say "that monster's", but when the words came to his lips, he changed to "that woman".

"It's just a minor injury for me, but the old man's is a fatal injury."

Shaking his head indifferently, Afeng just continued to look at the inner room with a worried face, afraid that something might happen to the old man.

"A small injury? I hope it's just a small injury!"

Feeling uneasy in his heart, Pei Hong hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask.

Regardless of whether one's concerns are justified or not, speaking out at this point will only disturb the morale of the army.

After Pei Wende healed old man Cao, it would not be too late to tell him his worries.

"And after that?"

"How did that woman become a monster? Are there any obvious characteristics? And where did she go after that?"

Hearing Pei Hong's series of questions, Afeng himself was also confused.

Because before he finished cleaning the wound, there was a loud battle sound in the station.

So when A Feng heard the sound and returned to the front yard of the station, what he saw was a woman who had turned into a ferocious zombie, trying to attack old man Cao.

Fortunately, the old man had experienced many battles, and some post officials and post soldiers who sensed the abnormality acted in time, which stopped the other party's killing in time.

"I don't know how that woman turned into a monster..."

"Even the fact that 'that monster was transformed from a woman' was told by the old man..."

"I just know that monster seems to be very bloodthirsty and afraid of the sun!"

"After that monster was subdued, before the sun officially came out the next day, she turned into ashes..."
