Chapter 214 Red Plum Footprints
The blood of a dead body stops flowing.

That's why endothermic animals lose their body temperature slowly after death.

Without further trauma, the blood in the dead body will not flow out.

Even if the wound is cut open, because the blood coagulates, the blood that comes out will not be too much.

But now...

Even a thumb-sized fish in the stream seemed to have squeezed out all the blood, gushing out.

Even things like crabs, which have no blood, ooze some orange stuff.

Not to mention that the birds and beasts were all dead, and the blood and water gathered into a stream of water, rushing against the decayed weeds and soil, and slowly flowed into the stream.

The already turbid stream water soon became extremely dirty, with a strong smell of death.

I took out the razor and rolled up the sleeves of my robe, trying to push aside a dead bird next to me to see why these dead things were still bleeding.

"Don't!" Mo Xiu put his arms around me and tapped his fingers lightly.

The water vapor floated darkly, and the dead bird was lifted by the water vapor and turned over.

I saw that the feathers were soaked with blood, but they were still seeping out.

General Mo took a breath, hugged me directly and said, "Go back."

He didn't say why these dead bodies were oozing blood, but from the look on his face, it was obvious why, so he didn't even want to look at them.

Before I left, I took a look at the stream. The whole stream was orange-red, and a big bubble popped up from time to time, floating on the water.

The whole creek seemed to be stagnant water!
But this time Mo Xiu took me directly home.

But what I didn't expect was that Awen and He Gu were both on the first floor. They pulled up two stools and sat on them. Their expressions were not very good.

He Shou, however, was wearing a black robe this time, and stepped on Xiao Xingye's body: "Aren't you brave enough? If I asked you to catch fish for me, how dare you buy fish for your grandfather He Shou?"

Seeing us coming back, He Shou glanced at the black robe on me, then at Moxiu's black undershirt, and at his own.

Sighing heavily, he poked his head slowly, and saw that the original black robe became like a turtle shell.

Forget about the tortoise lines, the lines are still golden and have dark lines, as if they were peeled off the tortoise shell.

He also said proudly: "It's not scary to wear different clothes. Whoever is ugly will be embarrassed."

As he spoke, he brushed his hair back, but when he looked up at Mo Xiu's face, he touched his own face.

It seemed that the ugly one was not Mo Xiu but himself, so he simply blinked again and turned into a turtle pressing on Xiao Xingye.

"You go take a shower first, clean a wound, and change clothes." Mo Xiu pushed me.

Glancing at He Shou who had transformed into a big black turtle, he asked Chao A: "We have worked hard these years. It is not easy to lead these disciples."

As a disciple, He Gu immediately blushed and stood up quickly: "Junior sister is injured, I will help her deal with it."

But as soon as he got up, Mo Xiu stared at him, and He Gu looked at the injury on my back.

Seems to have remembered something, quickly took out two porcelain bottles and gave them to me: "Men and women are different, little junior sister can handle it by herself! The black one is scalding oil with Jinhua Jiebao, and the white one is oral anti-inflammatory medicine."

"Thank you." I took the bottle.

He turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Xiao Xingye grunting under the pressure of He Shou, the big turtle.

After all, they had collaborated on some things, and Xiao Xingye might still have the secret of the Long family bloodline, so it was better to keep it.

He pursed his lips and said to He Shou: "Brother, are you tired? There is a bathtub in the large bathroom behind the first floor, do you want to take a bath?"

He Shou is a big black tortoise who wants to compete with the sky, and he just wants to soak in the water for a bath.

"No need..." He Shou pressed on Xiao Xingye and moved his limbs. Although his movements seemed inelegant, he was able to crush Xiao Xingye.

Xiao Xingye looked at me sideways and gritted his teeth, but he was forced to groan from time to time.

He Shou was still dissatisfied and sank down: "This man is a bone-setter, he can control water and can fish. I asked him to catch me some wild river fish from the river, and he actually bought it for me from the supermarket. !”

Seeing that Xiao Xingye's eyeballs were about to come out from the pressure, I squeezed the medicine bottle and glanced at Mo Xiu.

"Awen." Mo Xiu looked at Xiao Xingye and called out in a low voice.

Ah Wen looked helpless, but stared at He Shou and said, "Go take a bath!"

"I want..." He Shou was still pressing on Xiao Xingye, making indecent gestures.

But he raised his eyes and looked at Awen, and then at me: "Yes. Even if you are an illegitimate child of the Long family's blood, you cannot be bullied."

He Shou stood up at the speed of a tortoise, and straightened the black robe with the golden silk tortoise pattern: "The dead body oozes blood, and the rotten water bubbles. Lord Snake and Ah Wen don't know that this is from the blood of the Long family." Question?"

"The old witch is sealed, but the blood of the Long family..." He Shou glanced at me, and smiled strangely: "I still want to live well, you have to work hard."

Although what He Shou said was meaningless, it was obvious that the blood oozing from the dead bodies might be related to the Long family?

But as soon as He Shou got up, Xiao Xingye spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.

I didn't quite understand what He Shou said, so I looked at Xiao Xingye worriedly. Mo Xiu knew him well, so he wouldn't just leave him alone, would he?

But Mo Xiu just glanced at Xiao Xingye and winked at me: "Go ahead."

It was obvious that he had something to say to Ah Wen, so I glanced at Xiao Xingye and went upstairs.

When he reached the second floor, he instinctively looked up at the ceiling.

After making sure there was no sound, he went into the room and took the clothes.

It was true that my body was covered with injuries and it was impossible to take a shower. I took a bucket and filled half of the bucket with warm water, ready to wipe it with a towel.

But when the faucet was turned on, it squeaked for a long time at first, and then a thin stream of water dripped down after a while.

It's just that the water is turbid, just like the color of the flood after heavy rain.

I looked at the water dripping at the bottom of the bucket, and then glanced at the white towel in my hand, thinking that I didn't have the guts to take a bath with water.

Just as he was about to turn off the faucet, he heard a "puff" sound, and a stream of dark red blood spurted out from the faucet, fell into the bucket, and blistered. The bathroom was immediately filled with a fishy stench. taste.

I hurriedly wanted to turn off the faucet, but I couldn't tighten it tightly, as if the screws were slipping.

Seeing the blood falling into the bucket, the blood foam splashed out of the bucket.

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I was about to plug the faucet with the towel in my hand, but when I stretched out my hand to hold it down, blood splashed on my body, and I couldn't hold it down no matter what.

The blood splashed on my body was still slippery and smelly, which made me very uncomfortable.

When I was in a hurry, I heard my mother's voice: "Close the main gate."

After two days and two nights of staying up, dizzy, coupled with the familiar environment and familiar voice, I seemed to have forgotten what was happening to me for a moment.

Instinctively said "oh", hooked the towel on the faucet and wrapped it tightly first, then turned around and ran downstairs: "Mom, where is the main gate?"

But when I turned my head, I saw that the door of the bathroom was empty. How could there be my mother!
But I clearly heard my mother talking just now.

Suddenly there was a strange and sour feeling in my heart.

But now the stench in the bathroom became stronger, and the blood splashed against the splashing foam, rushing out of the bucket.

I looked outside, but I didn't see my mother, so I prepared to go downstairs.

But as soon as he reached the stairs, he saw a dark shadow flash in front of him, and Mo Xiu came up directly.

He glanced behind me and said, "He Gu has closed the main gate, and the blood will no longer flow out."

"What's going on?" I smelled the fishy smell in the air: "The water in the town is treated by the water plant."

Dead bodies oozing blood will pollute the river water. How come even the tap water from the faucet is like this?
But Mo Xiu looked behind me deeply: "Who are you taking a shower with?"

"It's just me." I was stunned.

Thinking about how Mo Xiu has been a little angry because of my dissection of the snake fetus since I came back.

This will actually ask who I take a bath with?Is this a suspicion that my style of work is not correct?

Then he said in a deep voice: "Except Mr. Snake, I haven't taken a bath with anyone yet."

But Mo Xiu still stared behind me, then reached out and slowly pulled me into his arms to protect me.

It made me confused, but just when I was turned around by Mo Xiu.

I saw two sets of footprints behind me. One was mine, wearing slippers with printed soles.

But the other string is obviously a bare foot with five toes, a half-moon arch, and an oval sole, stained with blood, stepping on the white tiles, like a blossoming red plum blossom.

It's just that after my footprints came out of the bathroom, they ran directly downstairs.

But the string of footprints, after coming out, went to my room.
