After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"Mom, let me ask you a question, okay?"

Chu Chi was not unhappy about being interrupted, and nodded in response very good-temperedly.

"Okay, just ask."

Lin Youan organized his words in his mind, and then asked tentatively in a very low voice.

"Mom, do you still remember what happened when we met in the dilapidated temple?"

"Remember!"

The head is crispy when it is clicked.

"After the flood, my hometown encountered bad people again, so my parents, family, brothers and sisters, relatives, friends, aunts and uncles, neighbors next door, aunts in the back street, all relatives and friends are dead!"

This tragic life story, which was so miserable that it deserved to be struck by lightning, was finally successfully engraved in Chu Chi's mind after Lin Youan brainwashed him dozens or hundreds of times, and he believed it without a doubt.

Because her little mouth was still chattering about the so-called past that was forced into her by the wicked child in front of her.

It was turning into one awkward slap after another, slapping his face that didn't want it so much, with a crackling sound.

"Then I came all the way here to seek refuge with the fiancé my father had arranged for me..."

The memory of the death suddenly attacked Lin Youan without any warning, making him rub his nose harder, feeling even more guilty.

It was not good to interrupt his mother's narration, and it was even worse to open my mouth and tell her directly, "In fact, this engagement was not arranged by your father, but by me, your son."

Until Chu Chi finished talking about everything he needed to remember, and still couldn't come up with any serious information, Lin Youan knew that with his mother's brain, there was probably no hope.

He sighed again melancholy.

Oh, what should I do?

"An'an, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I just can't figure out some problems, and I'm a little uncomfortable and can't sleep. Mom, you go to sleep first, I'll go read a book."

"Oh."

He huddled in his quilt obediently. If even the smart An An couldn't figure out the problem, then he, who wasn't as smart as him, shouldn't be able to figure it out either. So Chu Chi, who recognized the other person's intelligence, didn't continue to ask questions beyond his ability.

After helping his mother tuck in the corners of the quilt and making sure she wouldn't catch a cold, the little brother, who was full of thoughts, picked up the oil lamp and sat down in front of his bed with heavy steps.

Many thoughts raced through his mind, and after a long time he could only sigh and bend over to gently blow out the oil lamp.

The room remained cold and quiet until dawn.

The team had already packed up and had a hot breakfast before setting off again.

The county lieutenant had repeatedly told us that there might be bandits ahead, so everyone kept their weapons with them and were ready to fight at any time. But after traveling dozens of miles that day, it was surprisingly calm.

After being on guard for a whole day, everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally. We found a flat place sheltered from the wind, set up camp again and cooked.

We've been in a hurry along the way, and not only do people need to eat, but the animals pulling the carts also need to eat. Of course they have to stop and rest, right?

Several brothers from the Li Family Escort Agency gathered together, chatting in low voices while feeding hay to the mules and horses.

"Brother, why do I feel something is not right? We have already passed by Huangmu Village, where are those bandits? Why didn't they come out to attack us?"

The second brother of the Li family has always been a careful and cautious person, and he can be regarded as the brains of the entire Li family escort agency. So in such an obviously unreasonable situation as the current one, he can't help but feel a little worried.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Isn't it a good thing that we didn't encounter bandits? What if you still miss them?"

"That's right. We are lucky if we don't run into any problems. Isn't this a good thing that we can pray to the gods for? Why are you still worried about it, second brother?"

"I hope I never run into those damned bastards again..."

The remaining brothers were all talking and laughing happily. Only the eldest brother of the Li family had the same worried look on his face as his second brother.

"Shut up, all of you brainless bastards! Is this a good thing? Is it worth it for you to have fun in misery?"

The eldest brother is like a father, and no one in the family dares to challenge the eldest brother's authority. Everyone shut up obediently. Brother Li turned his head to look at the sky that was about to get dark, and sighed worriedly.

"The rain is coming."

He turned back and stared at these brainless things in his family, giving them instructions one after another.

"When you sleep at night, keep one eye open, and never leave your weapon. Hold it in your arms while you sleep! If you don't encounter an enemy attack, it's fine. But if you encounter a strong person you can't beat, you must do everything you can to run to your second aunt. But don't get too close to her to prevent accidental injuries. Do you hear me?"

Brother Li explained this rigid survival condition very clearly. After several practices, it was proven that this was definitely the most correct way to survive. Everyone in the Li family nodded obediently.

"Tonight, the second and fifth brothers will guard the first half of the night, and the third brother and I will guard the second half. The rest of you should hurry up and finish your meal and have a good rest."

"understood."

No one raised any objections, and everyone quickly followed the order. After all, no one was a fool, and they knew that the government had arranged patrols, but the Li family couldn't not arrange people to guard the place, wouldn't that be courting death?

It was not until all these things happened that they were escorted by officials by chance, which greatly increased their chances of success. Now that they knew they had benefited from it, they had to be more cautious, diligent and sensible.

Alas, no wonder the old saying goes that fortune and honor are sought in danger. This escort mission is for them, and I am so exhausted.

Li Erge wiped his face and looked at his eldest brother's head full of white hair, which was obviously more weathered. As a person who was born to be careful, he couldn't help but complain a few words out of concern.

"Brother, you are already so old, why are you still keeping watch? You should take care of yourself. Go and have a rest, I will keep watch in the second half of the night."

The eldest brother of the Li family had a serious expression on his face, but under the care of his brothers, his eyebrows and eyes gradually softened. His low-pitched scolding also brought out a bit of warmth.

"I'm in good health. How many years younger are you than me? You look like you've caught a cold. Why are you still keeping watch for the rest of the night? Hurry up and finish your meal. Remember to heat up the medicine before going to bed. Don't worry about me all day long."

"Brother, you..."

“Ah~ho~~!”

What he was about to say was interrupted by a fierce tiger roar. Everyone instinctively drew their swords and looked around.

Sure enough, within a few blinks of an eye, many figures appeared from all directions. The sound of fighting could be heard from the front, and they rushed forward with their weapons in hand without saying a word.
