"Old man..."
While Pei Wende was treating Old Man Cao, Afeng, Pei Hong and others waiting outside the house were also looking inside with furrowed brows.
Especially Afeng, who is the "chief culprit", is looking forward to the recovery of Old Man Cao.
For Afeng, who grew up in this inn since childhood, Old Man Cao is his only relative. If the other person dies due to his negligence, he will never forgive himself in this life.
"Don't worry, Wende will cure the old man."
Pei Hong reached out and patted Ah Feng on the shoulder. After some comfort, in order to divert the other party's attention, he asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"A Feng, can you explain to us in detail the scene when the old man was injured?"
Speaking of this, Pei Hong's tone couldn't help but paused, and his expression looked a little confused.
"Where did that monster come from?"
"Where are you now?"
In Pei Hong's impression, although monsters are known for being weird and unpredictable, they also have their own purposes, and this must be the same for the monster that attacked the inn.
But Pei Hong didn't know whether it was Old Man Cao's counterattack that severely damaged the other party, or whether the other party had other hidden agendas.
"That monster?"
After Pei Hong reminded him, Afeng couldn't help but began to recall all the abnormalities that the monster had during the attack.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
It all started in the evening a few days ago.
Just after Afeng saw off a certain post officer, 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 characteristics can be seen at all.
The skinny figure, the unkempt face, and those dull eyes...
If Afeng hadn't been exposed to people from all walks of life all year round and could barely discern clues from some details, I'm afraid most people wouldn't be able to identify him.
Even so, Afeng was not sure whether that "woman" was really a woman.
However, regardless of the gender of the "woman", when Afeng saw her fainting at the door of the inn, she still planned to go and rescue her without saying a word.
"Are you OK?"
When Afeng really saw the front of the woman, he realized that she looked really miserable.
Not to mention the malnutrition caused by long-term hunger, just from 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 helplessly at Afeng, who was rushing over in a hurry, the woman seemed to want to open her mouth to say something, but was unable to make a sound because she was too weak.
"Old man! Come and save people!"
Seeing this situation, Afeng didn't care about anything else and picked up the woman, intending to carry her into the inn first.
As for the unusual wounds on the woman's body and the stench mixed with various flavors, he could no longer care about it.
"Woooooooo..."
It seemed that the woman didn't want Afeng to touch her body. When she saw the other party picking her up, she immediately started struggling like crazy.
"ah!"
Unexpectedly, one of Afeng's arms was scratched by the opponent, and dripping blood instantly poured out from the wound.
"I don't know what happened to you before, but I'm saving you now!"
Upon seeing this, the woman who was still struggling suddenly stopped, but her dull eyes revealed a hint of despair at this moment.
——She just wants to live, she doesn’t want to hurt anyone...
"You bastard, are you nosy again?!"
On the other side, seeing Afeng carrying back a refugee who could tell at first glance that he would not live long, Old Cao was stunned for a moment, and then cursed loudly.
"Don't you know this is an official post? Can't you just bring people in?"
Completely used to Old Man Cao's curses, Afeng directly put the woman on a table, and then said to himself.
"Old man, where did you put the golden sore medicine last time? Lend it to me!"
After glaring at the other person with hatred, Old Man Cao couldn't resist this increasingly "willful" boy, so he could only curse in angrily.
"You go take care of your own wounds first. This guy asked me to do it."
Even if you scold, you still have to feel distressed. The arrogant old man Cao pointed at Ah Feng's wound and motioned for him to clean it first to be careful of contracting tetanus.
In this era, tetanus caused by wound infection was a fatal disease.
Even in the 21st century with advanced medical science, there are still many people who die from infections every year because they do not pay attention to trauma.
"I understand, old man."
Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Afeng's biggest fear now is that Old Man Cao will ignore this woman and let her fend for herself.
Fortunately, Old Man Cao was just as duplicitous as ever and was not really angry because of his unauthorized act of saving people.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Wait a minute, you just said that you were also scratched by that demon...woman?"
Pei Hong originally wanted to say "that monster", but when the words came to his lips, he changed to "that woman".
"My injury is just a minor injury, that's the fatal injury for me."
Shaking his head indifferently, Afeng just continued to look at the inner room with a worried look on his face, for fear that something might happen to the old man.
"Small injury? I hope it's just a minor injury!"
With a feeling of uneasiness rising in his heart, Pei Hong hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask.
No matter whether his concerns are justified or not, speaking out at this time will only disturb the morale of the army.
After Pei Wende cured Old Man Cao, it would not be too late to tell him his worries.
"What happens after that?"
"How did that woman become a monster? Are there any obvious characteristics? And where did she go after that?"
After hearing Pei Hong's series of questions, Afeng himself was actually confused.
Because before he finished cleaning the wound, a noisy sound of fighting broke out in the inn.
So when Afeng heard the sound and returned to the front yard of the inn, what he saw was the woman who had turned into a ferocious zombie and was trying to attack Old Man Cao.
Fortunately, the old man had experienced many battles, and some post officials and post soldiers who noticed the abnormality took action in time, and this was able to stop the other party's killing in time.
"I don't know much about how that woman turned into a monster..."
"Even the fact that 'that monster turned into a woman' was told to me by the old man..."
"I only know that the 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 and died..."
