Chapter 72 – Dusty Photographs
On this side were the three siblings, Zhou Hao and Fang Jinggang, heading towards Lijiang University, while on the other side, Zhuge Hongduan and the others, after escaping at the business school’s soccer stadium, kept running. Passionate Firestorm Picture Feast/
Zhuge Hongduan single-handedly holding a long sword in front of the road, all the zombies blocking the way to clean up one by one, no mercy can be said, the sword flower dance, there are zombies broken head open brain killed in this.
Behind the people who follow, the wild wolf is the hands across the arms by Zhuge Hongduan point acupuncture point drowsy Qin Xueling, the stone is the back of the degree of injury is very serious Lone Zero, at this time Lone Zero in the daze in the mouth from time to time there is blood coming out, stained red stone’s back.
“Red Dust, Zero, he’s still vomiting blood.” Stone felt his back was wet again and immediately knew that Lone Returning Zero was vomiting blood again and immediately shouted to Zhuge Hongduan in front of him.
As Stone was running, his body tried to stay as smooth as possible so that Dokgoo Guiye would not suffer from the bumps causing his injuries to get worse. However, Dugu Guiye was spitting out blood non-stop, and his heart was also in a great hurry.
“Hold back, we have to escape from the range where that giant snake’s attack could potentially reach.” Zhuge Hongduan kept waving the long sword in his hand and said to the stone behind him without looking back.
“…… “The stone wanted to say, I am able to endure, but zero he can’t endure ah. But now also can only escape, can’t make a stop here.
The crowd ran for a period of time, the back of the giant snake direction of the sound can not be heard and can not be seen, Zhuge Hongduan slowly slowed down the speed, and see the roadside path not far away from there is a house in, immediately to the past there.
This house is very old, should be years no one has come, idle, only two floors, or wooden boards built into.
Zhuge Hongduan force on the door so a collision, almost the entire wooden door are broken, but fortunately, the first bad is the rusty lock.
Inside the house because no one cleaned for many years, a long time, actually has accumulated a thick layer of dust, already can write on it, spider webs are also all kinds of hitchhiking, there are still spiders climbing on the web.
Zhuge Hongduan’s sudden attack, suddenly the doorway raised a burst of dust, such as vehicles traveling quickly through the hot sun under the dirt road.
Zhuge Hongduan immediately retracted his long sword and pulled up his clothes to cover his nose. As the dust slowly fell to the ground, the crowd walked into the hut.
Zhuge Hongduan closed the wooden door and used the table next to it to block the door.
The furniture inside the house was covered by white cloth, so the dust didn’t fall on the furniture and accumulated on the white cloth, and as the dust increased, the white cloth also turned grayish-black.
Inside the room there are two long sofas, Zhuge Hongduan pulled down the white cloth on top of it, immediately revealing a sandalwood sofa, a meter and a half long and 1.1 meters wide, on top of which it is completely possible to lie down and sleep a person.
Put Dugu Gui Zuo and Qin Xue Ling to lie down on the two rosewood sofas respectively, then the crowd gathered around Dugu Gui Zuo.
“Take off all of his top, move gently.” Zhuge Hongduan said to Stone and Coyote, the last time he took off Dugu Gui Zero’s clothes, he also wasted some effort, one hand can’t afford to hurt ah.
When Stone and Coyote heard Zhuge Hongduan’s words, they immediately slowly lifted up Dugu Gu Gui Zero’s upper body, let him sit up, and then carefully took off Dugu Gui Zero’s clothes one by one, soon, Dugu Gui Zero’s upper body was in a state of shock, but he was not in a state of shock.
Soon, after Dugu Gui Zero’s shirt was taken off, he saw that Dugu Gui Zero’s body had a series of scars, these were scars left from the past, and on Dugu Gui Zero’s back, there was a shocking bruise, almost covering the whole back, which had turned purple-black.
Zhuge Hongduan came to the back of Dugu Gui Zero, used his hand to point on his back a few times, then he gently pushed on Dugu Gui Zero’s back and pressed with his fingers, and then took his pulse on his right hand pulse for a while, and said:
“The spine is not seriously injured, but it has injured the internal organs.”
“Is it serious?” Stone and Coyote said nervously, inside their backpacks were medicines for bruises and injuries, but they didn’t bring any for internal injuries.
“His body is tough, but he’s still in some trouble, but he needs some medicine to treat it.” Zhuge Hongduan said, then came over to Qin Xueling’s side and stretched out his hand to press on the back of Qin Xueling’s neck a few times.
Soon, Qin Xue Ling slowly woke up from her lethargy, her eyes wiggled slightly as she opened her eyelids, and the first thing she saw was Zhuge Hongduan, who did not speak or smile. Qin Xue Ling was a bit dazed, her head hadn’t yet turned to think about it, soon, Qin Xue Ling’s body struggled to get up, and shouted on her mouth:
“Rat, Rat where is he?”
“Quiet, he’s fine.” Zhuge Hongduan pressed one hand on Qin Xueling’s shoulder, making it impossible for Qin Xueling to struggle up.
“Where is he now?” Qin Xue Ling’s tears dripped down, her shoulder was pressed by Zhuge Hongduan, but her whole body was powerless, she couldn’t get up at all, she slowly quieted down, and looked at Zhuge Hongduan with tearful eyes and asked.
“He has something to do, don’t worry, he will come back.” Zhuge Hongduan saw Qin Xueling no longer struggling, so he took back the hand that was pressing on her shoulder.
“Rat ……,” Qin Xue Ling stared blankly at the ceiling, lying quietly on the sofa, and murmured Zhou Hao’s flower name on her lips.
Zhuge Hongduan looked at Qin Xueling’s infatuation, immediately shook his head gently, now there is still such an infatuation, it is rare, the affliction to see true love.
Seeing her like this, Zhuge Hongduan originally wanted her to be nice and quiet, he couldn’t bear to disturb her, but for the sake of Dugu Returning, Zhuge Hongduan still asked Qin Xue Ling:
“Xue Ling, is there a school doctor’s office in this neighborhood?”
Qin Xue Ling was still staring blankly at the ceiling, paying no attention to Zhuge Hongduan’s question, not hearing Zhuge Hongduan’s words at all.
Zhuge Hongduan shook his hand in front of Qin XueLing’s eyes, finally causing Qin XueLing to react, Qin XueLing turned her head to look at Zhuge Hongduan with red, swollen and lifeless eyes.
“Xue Ling, you can’t be sad like this, otherwise when Zhou Hao comes back and sees you like this, he will definitely be even more sad.” Zhuge Hongduan unprecedentedly said such words. “Do you want him to be sad too?”
“…… “Qin Xue Ling’s godless eyes slowly regained their luster after hearing Zhuge Hongduan’s words, and she also stopped shedding tears. “I don’t wish to.”
“Then make yourself stronger.”
“I’m sorry.” Qin Xueling struggled to sit up, then apologized to Zhuge Hongduan, apologizing for what happened before. She was really too impulsive before, which only got everyone into trouble, thus Qin Xue Ling felt sorry for everyone.
“No matter what happens in the future, you still still have to be strong.”
“En.” Qin Xue Ling responded, but her eyes were still red.
Seeing that Qin Xue Ling’s emotions had stabilized somewhat, Zhuge Hongduan asked:
“Is there a school doctor’s office in this neighborhood, we need to get some medicine.”
“School doctor’s office?” When Qin Xue Ling heard that, she looked around, because she had been in a coma before, she didn’t even know where she was now. “Where is this?”
“We ran here from the business school side, it’s a long time ago wooden house.” Zhuge Hongduan said.
“A wooden house?” Qin Xueling thought back. “This place should be in the art school, yes, the art school next to the business school is a wooden house, it’s all locked, no one has ever come in. The school doctor’s office? There’s no school nurse’s office around here, but take that path next to here, and when you get to Broadway go all the way to the left, it’s a long walk, there’s a small hospital there.”
“En, got it, have a good rest and don’t think much about the rest.” Zhuge Hongduan stood up after knowing where the place to go was there, then said to Stone and Coyote. “Stone, Wild Wolf, you guys stay here and take care of protecting them, I’m going to find medicine and come back.”
“I’ll go with you.” After hearing this, Stone immediately said to Zhuge Hongduan, after all, Zhuge Hongduan only had one hand and was not good at holding things, hence the thought of following along to help.
“No need.” Zhuge Hongduan said indifferently and walked towards the doorway, using his hand to move that table.
“But ……”
“No buts, you two are responsible for properly protecting them, you don’t need to come with me.” Zhuge Hongduan did not allow Stone to say anything more.
“Then you be careful.” Coyote pulled the stone and then said to Zhuge Hongduan. Since Zhuge Hongduan wanted to go by himself, then he let him go. “We will protect them.”
“There shouldn’t be any zombies coming over here, but you guys should still be careful around.” Zhuge Hongduan said and closed the door behind him, continuing with a sentence before moving forward with his sword. “Block the door.”
Originally, Zhuge Hongduan wanted to wait for Zhou Hao to come back to once again use whatever healing bullets he had to treat Dugu Gui Zuo, but with the way things were looking now, Zhou Hao wouldn’t be able to come back for a while, hence why Zhuge Hongduan came out to look for medicines to give to Dugu Gui Zuo, or else his injuries might become serious if he dragged it out.
Zhuge Hongduan carried his sword then sped up and ran towards the location of the small hospital that Qin Xueling had mentioned.
After Stone blocked that door, he carried his gun and looked around the house.
Coyote, on the other hand, took out the mineral water in his backpack and then slowly wiped the blood from Dugu Gueizi’s mouth before using some external medicine to slowly wipe the bruises on Dugu Gueizi’s back.
Qin Xue Ling also stood up from the sofa and walked around the house, curiously looking at the things inside the house. Once in school, when she and her girlfriends passed by here, they were all very curious about this house, after all, on this campus, having such an old but not open wooden house is something very intriguing.
It is said that this room was built by Dr. so-and-so himself, who is also a legend in the school, but with the passage of time and years, some things have been dusty history, and the people who remember it are also slowly becoming less and less.
Only remember that there has been such a person, but do not remember how it is.
Qin Xue Ling walked at a long table, gently remove the white cloth above, there is nothing on it, just a few cups tea set and so on.
Qin Xue Ling with the wooden stairs to the second floor, into the only bedroom, there is a bed, there is a dresser next to the bed, all covered by a white cloth, very simple bedroom.
Qin Xue Ling came to the bed, uncovered a corner of the white cloth, it was a wooden bed. Qin Xue Ling dresser white cloth down, next to the stool of the white cloth also removed, and then sat down, quietly looking at the mirror inside the haggard self.
After looking for a while, thinking about the events of these days, tears streamed from her eyes without her realizing it, and she flung herself on the dresser and cried silently.
“What’s wrong?” Stone appeared outside the doorway at this time, and seeing Qin Xue Ling crying, he immediately asked.
“No, nothing.” Qin Xue Ling replied in a crying voice.
“Don’t worry, Zhou Hao, he’s very good, you saw that he won at arm wrestling then, he’ll be back soon.”
“Hmm.”
Stone looked away.
Qin Xue Ling sat up and took a deep breath, then smiled at herself in the mirror and dried her tears with her hands.
Curious, Qin Xueling opened the dresser drawers to see what goodies were inside.
Drawing open one of the largest drawers, there was a picture frame turned inside, only the back of the frame was visible.
Qin Xue Ling casually took it out, very heavy, held in front of the curious to see whose photo it could be, maybe it is the house owner’s photo.
Just when Qin Xue Ling turned over the photo frame and looked at the front, the whole person’s eyes widened.
“Rat ……”
(Growing up, only slowly found that a lot has been far away from us, when a person walks in a strange city, around the dark shadows filled, once the dream ideal has long been unknown, lonely and lonely accompanied by the lost years of dusty memories, but with a familiar melody buttoned heartstrings, surging down is tears, growing up troubles.)
