in the ancient last days

Near Xin County, Chu Family Village.

Beside the short fence, a zombie with a broken foot dressed as a scholar in a robe staggered towards the direction of the guards. When the soldiers on the sentry tower found the trace of the zombie, they quickly blew a loud whistle.

The guard's eyes froze, and the bow and arrow instantly shot and killed the zombie approaching Zhuangzi from a long distance.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous."

"It's really thanks to the divine bow given by the young master." The guard wiped his sweat and sighed. No matter the past few days, he still felt unaccustomed to the zombies whose appearance was no different from human beings.

The companion laughed and scolded: "Of course, if it wasn't for the young master, you would be able to stand here in a good manner? Focus on guarding, there are still your family in the village."

The two guards were members of the corps temporarily set up by the Chu family. There were not enough manpower in the village. In order to strengthen the defense, Chu Zhao took out a whistle and a compound bow from the space.

The whistle can let the guards quickly blow the warning when they find that zombies are approaching Zhuangzi. The compound bow is one of the important weapons used by the ancient army. It is similar to his short crossbow. It has a long range and is easy for ordinary people to use. good weapon.

With this crossbow, the guards of Chujiazhuang can quickly kill the zombies before they come into close contact with them.

There were only four guns in Chu Zhao’s space. After returning to the manor, he took them all out. Except for the Condor Shortbow on his body, the other three were given to Uncle A, Princess Eldest and Daddy, and his own one was kept. To the guards at the gate of the city.

A small number of people expressed their incomprehension. This kind of powerful, semi-automatic cold weapon with amazing penetrating power and lethality after modern transformation is like a divine weapon to their ancients. Isn't a group of ordinary guards without any training a catastrophe?

On the contrary, the peasants who were dependent on the Chu family were very grateful for Chu Zhao's decision.They have family members on duty in the village, and the "artifact" given by Chu Zhao is like a reassurance for them, so they don't have to worry about it day and night.

Many people secretly set up Chu Zhao's monument of longevity in the room, and quietly worshiped it.To them, Chu Zhao, who worried about them protecting their lives and blocking the dangers outside, was a divine existence like a fairy.

In just five days, the outside is a hell on earth, and the inside is a protective circle of temporary peace.

Chujiazhuang, under the defense of iron barrels built by Chu Zhao, the eldest princess and others, is like another paradise isolated from the world.

Behind the exquisite screen with mountain and sea patterns, there was a sound of rushing water, and Chu Zhao walked out of the bathroom in a snow-white robe and headed for the bedroom.

There is a purple wooden table exuding a faint fragrance in the room. In the four corners of the room, four candles as thick as a baby's arms are lit respectively. Writing on the desk.

The maid on the side carefully rubbed the ink for him, Chu Zhao lowered his eyes seriously, the nib of the pen was stained with a little ink, and then slowly wrote down the experience of escaping from the princess mansion so far on the rough straw paper.All kinds of experiences along the way, including the analysis of the strength of the Chu family so far in the face of the sudden outbreak of corpse disaster.

Because of this rescue, Chu Zhao's reputation in the village rose rapidly, so the eldest princess handed over most of the affairs in the village to her son, especially the guards and private soldiers.Father Chu didn't have any objection either, he had always listened to his wife and was self-aware of his ability to lead.

"Huh." Gently blowing on the undried handwriting on the straw paper, Chu Zhao propped his chin in thought.

Now that many changes have taken place, the originally imagined papermaking technology and some methods of making the Chu family rich can no longer be used. The most urgent task is to solve the food and security problems in the village.

How can such a big man support himself?

Food... Chu Zhao couldn't help touching the black ring pinned to his index finger, and there seemed to be a space full of chickens inside.

"Chichi." The tiny fur brushed against his cheeks, interrupting his thoughts, and Chu Zhao lowered his head to meet the eyes of the yellow chicken.

Wide-eyed and small-eyed, the other party lay on the corner of the straw paper, moved his dirty feet, with an innocent look on his face.

Chu Zhao curled his lips: "What do you look at, and then I will eat you up."

"Ji." The little yellow ball was extremely aggrieved.

The maid tied the cloak for him, Chu Zhao stepped out of the door, and Ran Mo, who was guarding under the eaves, followed quickly.

As soon as the door was opened, the cold wind brushed against his face like a knife. Chu Zhao couldn't help but pull up the hood a little bit. He didn't have such good luck in getting ink. He blushed from the cold and his neck was stiff. Arm muttered: "This is the weather."

Obviously it was the spring when the ice and snow should melt, but at night it was as if it was frozen, especially the cold wind, which was blowing so loudly that no one dared to go out.

Chu Zhao: "Let's go."

The two walked towards the lobby, and occasionally the maid on duty on the road would raise a lamp to salute the two.

Look carefully, there are many fewer people than before, and it looks a little cold.

There is a flood of corpses outside, but fortunately there is still food and other supplies in the village, and it can keep running for the time being, but it is impossible to eat as wastefully as before. The Chu family has changed the rules since the disaster broke out. , but one table for all.

The old lady had no objections, it was not too late for her old man to be happy to see the children eating with her, and there would still be some light and digestible food on the table for her to enjoy.

Seeing Chu Zhao's figure later, the old lady immediately smiled and found that Ran Mo was the only one following him, so she couldn't help asking with concern, "Why are there not many waiters?"

Dye Mo followed like a bamboo pole.

Chu Zhao sat down, and immediately a maidservant brought up basins. He washed his hands and said, "Thank you, old lady, for your concern. It's just that there are not many people in the village at this very moment, so we need to mobilize them. I like Jing, so there is no need to send so many people." Ren Xingshi works hard to serve."

He smiled, his hands were like white jade, the backs were delicate and slender, and the way he wiped them with a handkerchief made the maid bow her head and blush slightly.

The old lady couldn't help laughing, and repeatedly praised Chu Zhao for being sensible.

The eldest princess next to her was expressionless, her brows and eyes slightly proud.

Since the last life-and-death catastrophe, Dai's attitude towards her has become much more friendly after returning, and he praised her for giving birth to a good son.

The seat continued: "Zhao'er is capable and smart, unlike Boy Ling who is too lazy to follow..."

Ye Ling sat and lay down on the gun, swaying the hand of the fan, no, let yourself fight with the monster with blue face and fangs outside?It's better for him to stay obediently and leave this kind of matter to his powerful cousin.

Glancing at Ye Ling, Chu Zhao didn't say a word. The other party was the only son of the second aunt Chu, and he couldn't force him. He thought it would be good for him to act as an emotional regulator on Zhuangzi. Everyone's heart is tense, lest one day they will become like monsters outside the earthen wall.

Going on like this is not a good thing. Everyone has a tension point in their hearts. Once the pressure they bear exceeds, they will start to give up on themselves or have other behaviors.

Ye Ling was still heartless after being frightened. Although the performance of swaying his fan on Zhuangzi was annoying, but seeing the other party like this, in fact, the pressure in his heart would be reduced unconsciously, so he didn't have to let fear overwhelm him.

This is the same reason as the silent comedy movies in a certain country during the ancient earth wars. Wait, so he, this cheap cousin, can also be used to conduct a psychological comfort experiment?

Chu Zhao clasped his fingers and thought.

Ye Ling, who was sitting in the corner, shuddered inexplicably. It was strange that he felt cold even though he was sitting in the room. Where did the evil spirit come from?

Chu Zhao thought in his heart whether he should set up a psychological team some time, so that everyone would not be afraid to face life because of the fear of zombies.

While pondering, he accidentally saw the redness and swelling in the corner of Chu Yinyue's eyes, Chu Zhao asked, "Second aunt?"

Realizing her gaffe, Chu Yinyue quickly turned away and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Seeing the master making a fool of himself, Chu Yinyue's dowry quickly explained softly: "I made the young master laugh, the lady is worried about the second master. A few days ago, the second master wrote a letter saying that he will return to Jiangyin in the next few days, but there is no news yet, so the lady..."

As she said that, she glanced at Chu Zhao carefully, before saying anything, "Second Master, I'm afraid it's too bad now..."

"Shut up!" The eldest princess said angrily, "What kind of eyes do you see master? Hugh show your dirty thoughts in front of others!"

The other party was startled, and quickly kowtowed in fright: "Damn it, damn it!...Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ..”

The old lady also understood what was going on, the women present were all savages, how could she not see that this maid wanted to use Chu Zhao as a raft to encourage him to save people?

The old lady was so angry that her heart, liver and stomach ached, she threw away her chopsticks: "Yinyue, did you teach?"

Chu Yinyue turned pale with shock: "Mother and daughter don't know, everything is Chun Xia's own decision, and my daughter will never dare to plot against her brother's child!"

Chu Changqing was confused, seeing her younger sister kneeling down, she was anxious: "Mother, what are you doing, what are you doing kneeling for punishment after eating properly?"

Chun Xia was still sobbing at the side: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.com, it's all the fault of this servant girl.

Chu Zhao looked calm.

"You are bold!!... Ouch" the old lady began to cry out the pain while clutching her forehead.

"Mom, sister?"

Chu Changqing, the stupid father, finally realized what was going on. He was so anxious, his sister was only such a husband. Would he be expected to watch his own sister become a widow when she died?

The son also absolutely cannot let him go out to take risks, so he can only——

Chu Changqing: "No, I'll go outside and find my brother-in-law."

"Shut up," Dai yelled at him for the first time, his kind face filled with anger: "Now there are monsters out there who can eat people, and if they smell flesh and blood, they will run up to them with all their might. If you, Jintong, are bitten One bite has become like that, let us Chu family, let us mothers, what should we do?"

After finishing speaking, she hugged the stiff princess and began to cry.

There is one thing the old lady did not say, although the life of the second son-in-law is very important to the old lady, but no matter how important it is, it is not as important as that of her own son. She wouldn't do it to death.

Seeing that the old lady was about to faint, Chu Changqing had no choice but to comfort her quickly, while the second aunt Chu pleaded for Chunxia.

It was as if a farce was going on in the room. Ye Ling was at a loss, and turned to Chu Zhao holding the fan handle: "Cousin"

"I support Dad." Chu Zhao opened his eyes, the color of his pupils was obsidian, and there was a cold black light of scrutiny. He glanced at Chun Xia, and looked back after a while: "It's not impossible to find uncle."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The voice echoed in the empty lobby, but no one answered.

The eldest princess and the others were probably pondering over what to say, thinking about how to suppress his thoughts, Ye Ling was stunned, and took a step forward to Chu Zhao's thigh: "Cousin, you are not lying, are you? What you said is true? Can you save my father?!"

Chu Zhao avoided Ye Ling's "love" hug, and replied calmly: "Well, staying in the mansion is still not a long-term solution. No matter how much food is consumed, our Chu family village will only become a city. Solitary grave, so the best strategy now is to strengthen the army and accumulate food widely, so as to survive this disaster safely."

"As for the strength of soldiers..." Chu Zhao clasped his fingers, "That's right, I mean to train soldiers."

"First lead the troops to train for a month, and then send a team to go outside to inquire about the news to find my uncle, and collect some grain seeds by the way."

The plan sounds good, but... the eldest princess asked: "It is not so easy to train an army in a short period of time, Zhaoer, have you thought about it?"

"Father and mother don't need to worry for the time being, I have my own way." Chu Zhao smiled, Ye Ling, the face control, couldn't look away with a confident look.

Tsk, cousin is really.

The couple nodded. They had seen Chu Zhao's miracles before, so they would not doubt this matter. Facing the puzzled eyes of the old lady and the three, they explained to them all the encounters along the way south, especially the Chu Zhao's prophetic dream.

Dai looked at Chu Zhao differently, and when he heard that Jingguo Mansion dragged Chu Zhao into the frozen lake in the winter, his voice was trembling with anger: "Jingguo Mansion, Are you really so arrogant?"

He didn't question Chu's father's behavior of deceiving the emperor by taking his wife and children away from Beijing, but held his hand and couldn't stop comforting him.

Chu Zhao figured it out. This was an old lady who was partial to her armpits. Fortunately, she was reasonable.

As for the second uncle, he really wanted to save him. The second aunt was good to him, and he was also curious about Ye Ling's father who was very heroic.

But there was one thing that he didn't say, that Chu Zhao was not optimistic about whether Father Ye was still alive at the moment.The doomsday disaster spread throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Uncle Ye's martial arts were strong, but there would be no eggs under the nest. Who can say that strong martial arts can prove that the other party is sure to be safe?

You must know that the test of this last days is not only disasters, but also people's hearts.

I didn't take a few steps out of the hall,

Chu Zhao was hurriedly caught up by Ye Ling, "Wait for me! Cousin, cousin..."

Really fed up with this sticky address, Chu Zhao rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to him, but was finally caught up. Ye Ling was out of breath and short of breath: "Whoa...cousin, why don't you go so fast?" What are you going to do?"

Chu Zhao glanced at Ye Ling with both eyes, wanting to see what the other party wanted.

Knowing that her father had a chance to be rescued, Ye Ling looked at Chu Zhao sincerely and said, "Thank you."

Take off that cynical face, and no longer hang the unruly smile.This time, Ye Ling accepted Chu Zhao sincerely, not from the perspective of a stranger who robbed him of his favor, and the last bit of grievance in his heart disappeared.

Chu Zhao smiled, and sure enough, no one in the village would be a good one: "No need."

"Just don't call me cousin from now on."

He is not as old as Xiao Yeling.

"Hee hee." After saying that, Ye Ling really returned to that foolish young man, stepped forward and hugged Chu Zhao's shoulder: "Good brother, let's go! I'll take you to drink the peach blossom carefully brewed by my brother." The wine, buried under the tree in the yard for several years..."

"Didn't I tell you not to call me cousin?"

Ye Ling pretended to be stupid: "That cousin, my cousin has always wanted to know, your fiancé, the Eighth Prince, oh, is the legendary No. [-] beauty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is she really so good-looking? The son of the world does not hesitate to compete with you to be jealous, hehe, have you ever had that..."

"Which one?"

"That's it, that's it..." A certain young man smiled ripplingly, and gestured implyingly.

"roll--!"

Oh my god, my little cousin is really angry!Ye Ling laughed immediately, begging for mercy, and talked for a long time before comforting the other party, wiping the sweat in his heart...

However, this was the first time I saw my cousin get angry, tsk tsk, it seems that the other party's fiancé has a lot of influence on him?

The author has something to say: Zhou Jing wiped his sword one by one: soon, it will be here (smile)

Someone who was drinking: ...a chill down his spine for no reason.
