The fairy city of the market man

Chapter 4 4. Escape
"Buzz!"

At the same time as the City God dissipated, the embroidery needle suddenly appeared, piercing the scarlet eyes of the monster with a roar!
The embroidery needle appeared so suddenly that the monster had no time to block it with its claws, and just closed its eyelids.

With the double skins covered, only the extremely black face remains, and the embroidery needles do not know where to nail it.

Amidst the loud "bang", the little embroidery needle made the monster's head fall back violently as if it had been hit hard!
But it only looked up once, it shook its head, and soon opened its scarlet eyes again.

In the city lord's mansion, an old woman with peonies embroidered on her shoes and short lapel soared into the air, took back the embroidery needle, and flew towards the monster resolutely!

She was not stupid, she knew that she couldn't fight this monster head-on, so she just flew under the monster's belly, trying to find the vital point!

The monster didn't give her a chance, swung its tails behind it, and slammed into its belly, hitting the old woman with just one blow!

With the sound of "bang", the old woman fell hard to the ground!
In the concierge department, the timid girl bit her lips, jumped up, and picked up her grandmother in the air.

The creatures in front are full of feasts, the monster's twin tails shake again, and the black mist envelops the city, rolling from east to west!

Can't stop it this time!
The black mist passes through Dongzheng Street, the butcher under the table in the vegetable market, the accountant under the counter of the calligraphy and painting shop, the old man in the house in the alley, the caged bird and the fish in the fish and bird shop, all the flesh and blood are gone with the fog.

The robes suddenly lost their support and collapsed limply.

At the crossroads, the fake gods who usually tell fortunes, the real students who write family letters and couplets for others, the teahouse waiter, and the fat man who sells braised meat, their flesh and blood are gone with the mist.

The black mist rolls across Nanbeitong Street, children squatting on the tops of old willow trees, thugs watching in the gambling house, the big bully who sells loan sharks, the top card in Liuxuyuan, the man rubbing his back in the bathhouse, and the city lord's mansion falling to the ground Except for a few immortals, all the generals, tiger guards, government soldiers, masters and servants of Cao's mansion disappeared.

The black mist finally rolled westward along West Main Street, swallowing up the shopkeeper of the silverware shop, the couple from the Mengjia porridge shop, the crippled man driving the carriage, the unscrupulous boss of the pharmacy, and the clerk of the shoe shop.

The toads in the ditches, the mice in the holes, the crickets in the cracks in the walls, and the ants crawling around, none of them survived.

This black mist devours all life, and the bluestone slabs on the ground, doors and windows that have been there for many years, and mattresses are not affected in the slightest.

Sudden upheaval, Shang San'er was also panicked and his legs were sore and weak, but he still remembered that he must not leave his mother behind.

Leaving Cao Si behind, he ran home in a hurry.

Fortunately, Cao Si wanted to drag him to confront his old lady before, and the place to watch the battle was not far from the merchant's old house!
The old lady didn't like to climb the roof to watch the excitement, and she didn't care about the battle between immortals and immortals in the sky above the city lord's mansion, but the sudden billowing black smoke from the east, the sudden earthquake, and the horrified screams from the roofs of the surrounding people also let her know that something was wrong!
Holding the rolling pin in her hand, she paced back and forth anxiously in front of the courtyard gate, waiting.

When Shang San'er ran home in a hurry, without a word of gossip, he supported her on the back: "My mother hugs me tight!"

Picking up and about to run, my old lady yelled again: "Take Lao Huang!"

Shang San'er didn't like to stay at home since she was a child, and Lao Huang spent the most time with her, and the old lady couldn't bear to leave her behind.

Helpless, Shang San'er had no choice but to bend over to hug the old yellow dog again, and ran out desperately.

The old woman on the back had great strength when beating him, but she was actually very thin, only about eighty catties.

Old Huang was very strong a few years ago, but now he is only skin and bones, weighing about ten catties.

Holding the old lady on her back with one hand and Lao Huang with the other, Shang San'er ran out desperately!

More than 90 kilograms usually feel heavy, but at this moment, I have used all my strength, and I don't feel it at all!

It's not just him struggling for his life, there are people running with chickens and ducks, children on their backs, and money in their arms in the alleys.

Shang San'er ran faster, although he had a lot to bear, he was young after all, and when he was struggling for his life, he showed all his strength, surpassing many slow-legged ones along the way.

He didn't have time to turn his head to look at the situation in the mid-air to the east. When he ran past Zhang's house where falling tiles hit his front teeth, the old woman with embroidery needles was just hit by the monster's tail and fell from the air.

When I ran to the entrance of the alley and turned into Xizheng Street, the black fog had just swallowed Dongzheng Street.

There are still a few hundred steps away from the city gate, and the black mist has already covered the Mengjia porridge shop!

With his foot strength, he couldn't escape the black mist, but under the gate of the west city, a yellow mask was lit up, covering the last dozen or so escapees before the black mist.

"I can't go into town for too long, let's go!"

Shang San'er gritted his teeth and fled for his life, but he didn't know who was talking, but he shouted on his back, "Thank you mother-in-law for helping me, I will go to the earth temple to burn incense more in the future!"

He rushed out of the city in three steps at a time, and the yellow mask was also forced out of the city by the black mist, barely holding on outside the city.

Shang San'er tilted his head to see the phantom old woman who released the yellow mask with a cane, doesn't she look like the land woman enshrined in the land temple outside the city?
"The City God is no match for it, let alone me. If it hadn't been for its current intention to do evil in the City Lord's Mansion, the earthen cover would have been broken long ago. Don't wait here!"

The landlady urged her loudly, Shang San'er dared not stop to catch her breath, and hurriedly fled west again with her mother on her back!
But the turning point came immediately, a red light flew into the city with a roar, the "rumbling" sound was mixed with an ear-splitting roar, and the black mist around the city gate retreated rapidly.

The landlady shouted happily: "I don't want to have a god come to save me, the time of death for the evil has come!"

Everything was too sudden today, the panic was still uncertain, and the situation was reversed again. The people who escaped from the city stopped and looked back after hearing the sound.

The landlady was overjoyed, the monsters in the city were only roaring and screaming, and the black mist had disappeared. Someone asked on the ridge, "Landmama, do we still have to run away?"

Really exhausted, Shang San'er also wanted to stop to catch his breath, and wanted to ask, but others preempted him.

The landlady replied, "Don't worry, the gods are here to save you, why do you need to run away?"

A large area collapsed outside the west city gate in an instant, and there were rough panting sounds everywhere.

Just as the land lady said, the monster's angry roar never stopped, and within a moment, a huge black shadow escaped from Green Willow City, and also flew westward!
Wherever it passes, the vegetation dies and the insects and birds turn to ashes.

Looking in from the opening of the city gate, the city has already calmed down. There are still many people lying on the west main street. They are all in their robes, but there are only white bones underneath!

The monster turned into a black shadow and fled, but there was no one chasing after it. The one who hated it and asked unwillingly, "Heavenly Immortal came to rescue him, why didn't he chase and kill that Youmo?"

Twenty miles outside the square wall of Green Willow City is the territory of this landwoman. The common people don't know, but she can detect the whereabouts of the fairy: "The fairy has gone to reinforce the seal at the bottom of the mountain in the sixth section, so that no ghosts come out again. You wait And rest assured, the Celestial Immortal has no plans to spare, since he has acted like this, there must be another way for the fleeing Youmo, and he will not let it cause trouble again!"

The landlady spoke with certainty, no matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to believe her.

At this time, there is no fear of life. Who can survive for the relatives and friends who failed to escape in the dark mist before?

For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, each of them could not help crying and howling in grief, and did not dare to go to the city to see.

It was too late to cry when I ran for my life before, and those who were in a hurry to cry didn't escape.

Shang San'er's only relative is an uncle, whose family is in the east of the city, and he probably could not escape, but due to the decline of the business, there has been little contact in the past ten years, and the old lady is just sitting on the muddy floor and feeling sad.

The landlady didn't persuade people of the sorrow of the world. Apart from the city gate, there were still many people who had fled far away from the west gate.

The people of Luliu City built sheds outside the west gate to raise more livestock, but they didn't care about it at this time. The landlady went to collect some melons and fruits from a distance, and the refugees also went to the field to pick some to satisfy their hunger and thirst first.

In order to watch the big drama of the Zhou family in the city lord's mansion, many people have not had dinner yet.

In this catastrophe, quite a few escaped from the west city gate, especially those who happened to be in the west main street when the incident happened.

However, the population of the city, originally more than [-], is already less than one in ten.

At this time, Shang Sancao Sicai had to gather again, and the two scourges escaped.

Cao Si was full of food and the whole family was not hungry, so he would not cry at this time, but when he saw others mourning, crazy, wailing, and numb, he felt upset for a while, and ran to the ghost of the land woman and asked: "Grandmother, Is it possible to go back to the city now?"

At this time, it was almost dark, not to mention the fear of remaining poison, even the dead people in the city can scare people crazy. : "It's okay, but the water in the city has been polluted, so is the food, don't import it!"

When Cao Si got the letter, he felt at ease, and gnawed on a melon again, and said loudly, "I'll go check it out first!"

Seeing him trotting briskly towards the city gate, Shang San'er finally realized: "This guy doesn't care about his life just to get rich?"

The dark and silent dead city is frightening, but it can't resist the temptation of white money. The city is full of dead people and riches. If you go in boldly, how much can you pick up?

The deeds of the city god and the landlady when they were alive are also spread in Luliu City. They all have merit and virtue, and they will not lie.
After I figured it out, my heart was on fire, I moved to the old lady, and called out cautiously: "Mother!"

He can see through Cao Si's thoughts, and my old lady can also see through him. Seeing that the rolling pin is about to be smashed, Shang San'er hurriedly said in a low voice: "Just this time, the money to marry a wife is enough. Maybe the old businessman can turn around again." The mother-in-law of the land said nothing happened!"

The son's temperament has been known for a long time, and he is obviously afraid of her, but in the face of this turning scene, if he really wants to stop him, he may sneak away in the middle of the night while he is asleep at home!
The old lady had a headache, and after gritting her teeth for a while, she pointed at the old Huang and said, "Take the dog, it's good to be courageous!"

Lao Huang has limited mobility, and carrying it is just a burden, but the old lady finally let go, and Shang San'er had to agree.

There were more than two merchants, three, Cao, and four rogues in the city, but before they escaped, among the others, there were those who wanted to make money. They were not as courageous as these two. They only thought about such a big city, and they would pick it up no matter what. If it's not over, it's better to let the two rogues go to test it first, and wait until dawn before entering the city to be safe.

After Shang San'er carried Lao Huang into the city gate, no one followed.
