"Ah, don't be afraid, girl. I, Zhui Ying, have always been docile. It's probably because I saw the girl as a stranger, that's why I'm so abnormal."
Qin Zheng saw that the girl was afraid of his war horse, so he tied Zhuiying to a tree nearby, patted its head gently, and advised: "Be good Zhuiying, don't act nonsense, you will scare the girl."
"
The chasing shadow was obviously more restless. However, he was tightly tied by Qin Zheng, so he had no choice but to hiss and roar at the ground with his hooves.
"Girl, can you tell me what happened to you here?"
Qin Zheng asked the girl gently:
"Ah, Mr. Qin, I'm not going to hide anything from you."
The girl was relieved when she saw that he had tied up the horse, and said to him with a sad look: "My name is Yulan, and I am fourteen years old this year. I am from this city. A few days ago, a goblin suddenly appeared here.
, it came out every night to eat human hearts and livers at first, and the county magistrate also sent soldiers to catch it, but they were all killed by it. Later, the monster became a habit and could come out to eat people during the day, so this Qingyang County
Here, all the rich families have moved away, and the poor people with no money have no choice but to sit and wait for death. The slave family is poor and has nowhere to move; the slave family was the last one to be eaten last night. The slave family’s mother hid the slave family in the water of her house.
In the vat, I escaped this disaster, but I only pitied the slave family's parents, but they were eaten alive by the monster! The slave family was thinking about escaping from Qingyang during the day, and didn't want to meet the young master. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, so hurry up and follow
Let’s leave together with the slave family”
As she said this, she reached out to pull Qin Zheng
"Ah, it turns out to be Miss Yulan"
However, Qin Zheng had no intention of letting her hold hands. He chuckled, raised his hands and made a gesture to her.
Yu Lan jumped away, blinked at him, smiled, and said: "Master, you are really weird. We have had such a big disaster here. I told you, but you don't seem to believe it."
, just smile at people, can’t they lie to you! There is a goblin hiding in Qingyang now, I can’t wait to escape immediately, why don’t you know how to be afraid? You still have the intention to plot against me!”
"There's no point in being afraid."
Qin Zheng still answered cheerfully: "Now that the demon is so powerful, even if you and I escape now, if it wants to catch and eat it, do you think we can outrun the demon?"
"But it's even more terrifying to stay here and wait to die!"
Yulan suddenly approached him and said with pleading eyes: "This young master, I think you are dignified and majestic. I think you are a good family. How about you take me out of here? I am too scared to be alone. Now I am alone."
, I am homeless and have no relatives alive. If you are willing to take me in as a slave, my slave will be willing to hold a dustpan and sweeper, be your servant, and serve you for the rest of your life in return!"
"Miss Magnolia, please don't say that."
Qin Zheng persuaded, "I can escort you out of here, but I don't want you to be a slave. Since you are a good girl, how can I use you as a slave? Escorting you is just a small effort. You don't have to ask for anything in return."
"Ah, I didn't expect Mr. Qin that you are so loyal. The Nu family is so grateful!" After hearing this, Yu Lan said a deep blessing to him.
As he said that, he was about to untie the horse, but Yu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Master, your horse is too strong. I'm afraid that you should hold it. I will walk slowly beside you, but
good?"
"OK"
Qin Zheng nodded in agreement without hesitation, then asked her to come to his side, blocking the distance between Zhui Ying and her with his body. Then Fang untied the rope, took the restless Zhui Ying, and walked with her to the street.
"Miss Yulan, are you the only one left in this city?"
Qin Zheng tightened his grip on the reins so that Chai Ying could not escape from his control, and walked with Yulan to ask questions.
"Yes, the slave's family was originally the last one left. Now... the slave's family is the last one here."
Magnolia replied gloomily
"So is there anyone in the county government office?"
"It's gone a long time ago. The monster eats people, regardless of officials or civilians."
…
Qin Zheng and Yulan were chatting about each other. Suddenly, Yulan let out an ouch and fell to the ground.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Qin Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but the strength holding Zhui Ying's hand inevitably weakened a lot. Zhui Ying broke free from his grasp and rushed over, standing up to face the Yulan man, holding his iron hoof.
He was about to kick his front hooves. Qin Zheng had quick eyes and quick hands. He hurriedly stepped in front of him and slapped Zhuiying hard.
"Oh!"
Following Yulan's exclamation, Zhuiying's center of gravity was unstable and he was hit hard by Qin Zheng. He was actually pushed to the ground.
"Chirp!"
Zhuiying let out a long hiss and lay on the ground, causing a burst of dust to fly.
"Girl, are you okay?"
Qin Zheng glanced at Zhuiying distressedly, but still turned his head to help Magnolia and asked with concern
"Thank you, sir. I'm fine. I accidentally fell down just now. It's just that your horse..."
Yu Lan patted the dust on her skirt, stood up, and pointed worriedly at Zhui Ying lying on the ground.
Seeing that she was okay, Qin Zheng walked quickly to Zhuiying and squatted down to check. He saw that Zhuiying's dark eyes seemed to be flashing with tears. He was lying on the ground with his two front hooves lying weakly in front of him. Looking carefully
When I checked, I found that the horse's front hoof was fractured.
"Oh my god, Chai Ying!"
Qin Zheng didn't expect that his beloved horse would be injured by his own hands, and he felt heartbroken.
"It's all because of me that the young master's beloved horse was injured. Yulan is really very sorry!"
Yulan said apologetically from the side
"I can't blame you. It's because I didn't control it properly. It's just Zhuiying who used to be very docile. I don't know why he is so irritable today."
Qin Zheng took out his sword from his waist, cut off a piece of his robe, and found a fallen branch nearby to bandage Zhuiying, "It's just that Zhuiying can't move now, so I can't escort you away, girl, so I have to
Please go by yourself"
"Sir, how can a retarded girl from my family walk alone? What's more, you are here alone, aren't you afraid of the goblins coming out to harm you? Now your beloved horse is injured and it can't move. We can't stay here for a long time.
Why don't you give up your love?"
Yulan persuaded from the side.
"No, I want to leave. The girl will go by herself. Zhuiying has been with me for many years. I really can't bear to abandon it like this."
Qin Zheng simply got up and went to find a clean stone nearby, moved it to Zhuiying, sat down on the spot, and answered with his sword: "It is precisely because there are goblins in and out that I can't just let them here, girl."
Please go by yourself"
"Sir, since you refuse to leave, then I, Yulan, won't leave either."
