Chapter 241: Man-Eating Carriage
On the street...
A beautifully decorated official carriage was slowly driving on the bustling and lively street. Suddenly, a woman screamed from inside the carriage, and then a panicked little maid rushed out of the carriage in a hurry, her face full of fear, looking at the crowd who didn't notice her, and covered her mouth tightly with both hands, as if trying to prevent more sounds from spilling out. Then.
"Girl, what's wrong?" the driver asked as he stopped the carriage.
"I... I'll go find the master." The maid stammered. She jumped off the carriage without hesitation, lifted her skirt, and ran away like a frightened rabbit.
The driver was shocked when he saw this. He quickly walked to the side of the carriage and asked softly, "Madam, are you okay? Do you need any help?"
However, the only answer he got was a faint cry from inside the car: "Help... Life... Ah——" It was obvious that the lady was in extreme danger, and her voice was full of pain and helplessness.
The driver's heart sank, as he knew that his wife was close to giving birth and was probably about to give birth. Everyone cast their eyes on the magnificent carriage in front of them, secretly guessing that this must be the carriage of a wealthy noble family.
"Madam, we'll be at your house soon." As soon as the driver finished speaking, a strong smell of blood suddenly wafted out of the carriage. He looked down in horror and saw a large amount of bright red blood flowing out from the bottom of the carriage.
"Ah! Madam, you must hold on!" the coachman shouted in panic, waving the whip hurriedly, trying to drive the carriage back home to seek help.
However, at this moment, something strange happened. A sharp scream was heard, and the horse that had been pulling the cart quietly suddenly roared wildly as if it had been greatly frightened, and began to run wildly and jump uncontrollably on the street.
"Godfather! The coachman was eaten by the carriage! People on the street are in danger!" At this moment, Lian Yu, who was standing by the attic window watching the excitement, shouted anxiously. Hearing her shout, Shu and Hua Yu'er simultaneously stuck their heads out of the window and looked out.
The out-of-control carriage was like a ferocious beast, rushing around without any regard for the safety of the pedestrians around it. The driver who was driving just now disappeared without a trace, as if he had really been swallowed up by this strange carriage.
"Not good!" Hua Yu'er screamed, her face turned very pale. She didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said to Shu, "Someone is injured, I'll go take a look." Then she picked up her skirt and ran downstairs.
"Lianyu, wait for your meal here." Shu also responded almost at the same time. He didn't even bother to answer Hua Yuer's words, but just greeted Lianyu, and then his figure flashed, leaping from the table like a ghost, and flew out directly. After a few jumps, he came to the side of the carriage, waved his fist, and hit the horse's head directly.
The frightened horse fell to the ground instantly, and the carriage also turned sideways. An arm flew out of the carriage, and before it hit the ground, it was instantly sucked in by a bloody tongue. The speed was so fast that Shu could not see clearly what was inside. At this time, Hua Yuer ran over with her skirt lifted up and desperately wanted to get into the carriage.
"Be careful!" Shu was quick-witted and grabbed her, pulling her hard to his side. Hua Yuer was a little surprised and looked at Shu in confusion.
"What are you doing? There is someone in there who urgently needs medical treatment! From the looks of it, it should be a pregnant woman who is about to give birth!" Hua Yuer explained anxiously.
Shu stared at the carriage with a strange atmosphere and responded calmly: "The situation inside is unclear. It may be dangerous. We can't act rashly."
However, Hua Yu'er obviously didn't care about that anymore, her mind was full of saving people. Just as she was about to rush in, Shu quickly moved his body, blocked her way, and protected her behind him.
"Waaaaa..." Just then, a loud cry of a baby came from the carriage, echoing throughout the street. Hua Yuer shouted excitedly: "See, I said there was a woman giving birth!"
Before she finished speaking, she could not wait to rush forward. But Shu was one step faster than her. He instantly drew out the long sword from his waist, and the sword blade flashed coldly in the sun. He waved his arm, and a sharp sword energy broke through the air, and the curtain of the carriage was blown open as if it was blown up by a strong wind.
When the curtain was lifted, he was surprised to find a noble lady lying in the carriage, unconscious at the moment. Next to her, a baby covered in blood was crying loudly, with a clear and pleasant voice.
"What are you doing?" Hua Yu'er looked annoyed. She pushed Shu away, then quickly got on the carriage. She turned to Shu and shouted, "Hurry up and go to the nearby pharmacy to find a pair of scissors!" Before she finished speaking, she began to take off her outer clothes, preparing to use them to wrap the baby lying on the ground.
Surprisingly, the crying baby calmed down immediately when it was in Hua Yuer's arms. Hua Yuer didn't dare to delay and hurriedly felt the woman's pulse...
Just as Shu hurriedly returned to the carriage with the scissors and handed them in through the window, he found that no one had responded in the carriage for a long time.
An ominous premonition came to his mind, and he immediately lifted the curtain to check the situation, but what he saw shocked him - there was only a large pool of shocking blood in the carriage, and Hua Yuer, the woman and the baby had disappeared...
