in the ancient last days

Chapter 9 Metal Matchboxes

Chu Zhao thought for a while, and the two of them wanted to get off the carriage.

"Wait." The eldest princess hurriedly stopped her son, and Chu's father also showed embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" Chu Zhao followed the eyes of the two opposite people, and was stunned.

It turned out that the black hair above his elbows reached his waist at some point, like a woman's long hair.

There is a bronze mirror hanging on the wall of the carriage, and an extremely beautiful young man is reflected in the mirror, with long black hair, pale complexion without pores, and a sinister aura around him for no reason. ordinary people.

Opening his lips, Chu Zhao saw the two small fangs protruding from the tip of his tongue, which were white and tender, and they looked strangely beautiful against the blood-red eyes.

“…”

He knew why his father and mother were hesitant to speak.

Originally, Chu Zhao wanted to find a suitable time to tell them about the foreseeable end of the world because he considered the ability of the eldest princess and Father Chu to bear it.

After hesitating for a while, Chu Zhao stared at them and said, "Father, mother, I had a dream..."

The weirdness in the dream was narrated, causing ripples in the silent carriage.

After listening to the son's words, as expected, the eldest princess and the son-in-law looked at each other, and the eyes were completely unreal.

Chu Zhaoyin went to the system and the fact that he came from the 22nd century, and only told them the end-time scene he saw, and then an "old man" appeared in his dream and gave him a certain special ability.Countless changes in natural disasters, human corpses revived and turned into monsters, and the world turned into a hellish scene... The couple felt creepy and unbelievable.

"Is your brain burnt?" The eldest princess murmured to herself while clutching Chu Zhao's forehead.

Chu Zhao knew it would be like this. What happened in their world at the end of the world is horrifying, and here it is simply subverting the three views of the ancients.

"Father, mother, look at me and think about the scene that happened a day ago..." Chu Zhao's face still had the immature look of a teenager, but his bright eyes were impossible to ignore.

After a while of silence, while Chu's father was still hesitating, the eldest princess chose to believe her son, her beautiful face hardened, and her temperament was like a knife: "In this case, Chang Qing, we have to speed up the drive and go back to Jiangyin. The night is long and the dream is full. Whatever happens, be pre-emptive."

Slowly, Father Chu nodded his head, with some terrified fear of disillusionment in his eyes.

The knowledgeable Tanhualang was completely frightened. If it is true that the world will become like that as his son said, what kind of Shura scene will the world be like, and where will the common people go?

.....

There was no way to stay in the car, Chu Zhao tried it, and found that the color of his eyes could be changed, and he got out of the carriage to restore his eyes to their original state.

Ah Da was leading the other guards to clean up the venue. After being attacked by the bandits in the village a few days ago, the scene was quite messy. The vicious bandits who were tied aside also needed to be dealt with later.

Chu Zhao, who was in the carriage, came out and immediately attracted everyone's attention. The attitude of the others towards him was really strange, as if they wanted to look at him but didn't dare to look at him.

To be exaggerated, the eyes looking at Chu Zhao don't seem to be looking at people, but as if they are looking at some gods?

The previous scene of giant meteorite impact shocked everyone.In the ancient times when the news was ignorant and there were various legends about the power of kings and gods bestowed by gods, the young master descended from the sky like a god-man, and the appearance of carrying the black meteorite was really shocking.

Now everyone in the princess mansion feels that there is some kind of "miracle" in Chu Zhao, and secretly admires and awes him.

When the veterans are resting now, they are whispering that Chu Zhao is the reincarnation of the "immortal" in the sky.

"Absolutely, I am the old man of the mansion. You have forgotten what was the little master born with? How big is the purple thunder! Born with the thunder, is this not a fairy? Isn't it just a fairy descending to the world to pass the tribulation!"

The person who spoke was obviously convinced of this, and the rest of the people also followed suit.

"Could it be true? The little master is the reincarnation of a celestial being?"

Ah Da didn't care, no matter what, Chu Zhao was the little master for whom he would sacrifice his life, the little master of the princess mansion, whether it was a fairy or a mortal, it didn't matter.

"Uncle, what do you want from me?" Chu Zhao asked doubtfully.

"Hey." Ah Da smiled, "Young master, the stone that fell from the sky earlier is here, do you want to see it? We don't know how to deal with it yet."

Giant meteor?Chu Zhao grimaced and nodded.

The two came to the giant crater.

Two days ago, during a solar eclipse, a black meteorite fell from the sky and collided violently with Chu Zhao, making him unconscious. Everyone was shocked and heartbroken, and worried whether the dark stone would cause harm to people, so they ordered everyone to dig a deep hole to bury the monster. stone.

From Chu Zhao's point of view, the huge meteorite, dozens of times larger than him, quietly stayed in the deep pit. It was as black as blood, with faint traces of cracking, exuding a strange aura.Countless guesses flashed through his mind in an instant, "Alien", "Parasite" and other horror movies that had almost faded from his memory reappeared, which gave him a jolt.

"Burn it."

Ah Da was taken aback: "Burn it?"

"En." Chu Zhao nodded solemnly. No matter what kind of monster it is, it is the best choice to destroy and burn it quickly. A place ten miles away will be turned into a playground for the virus, and countless people will be infected at that time.

After the meteorite incident, Chu Zhao seemed to have become the hidden leader of the team. Even Chu's father had to back away when the eldest princess was clearly on his son's side.

So A Da, Sun Dahu and others took the lead, and a group of people tried their best to pile firewood into the deep pit. Ran Mo was also in the accompanying team, and it was heard that Chu Zhao hurried forward here.

The young master who woke up after being injured lost the closeness with him in the past, and Sun Dahu, the eldest princess, sent him to compete with him for the young master's "favor". Be the first to be the most positive.

I don't want to think that it just rained heavily yesterday, and the woodland is very humid, and the wood can't be ignited no matter what, Ran Mo holds the wood and wants to cry but has no tears.

Chu Zhao: "..."

He suddenly remembered that there were no matches at all in the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time, and they usually used utensils such as flint and fire knives to make fire and cook. Now that the team has stayed here for many days because of his coma, I am afraid that the flint and so on will almost be used up.

Chu Zhao secretly checked his space package. Since the transparent body said that his game mall was brought over, the materials he bought for [-] yuan should still be in the package.

Down jacket trousers X[-]

In the apocalypse, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, the cold is not terrible, but the damp and cold breath penetrating into the bones, so fire is very important, Chu Zhao stocked up a lot, his eyes swept from the electronic screen, in the black military There is a slight pause on the lighter, then transfer to the "Electronic Matchbox".

Holding the wet wood and worrying, when he heard a low male voice, Ran Mo looked up in surprise, and the pile of wood almost lost his grip: "Young master?"

Chu Zhao slowly took out a small wooden stick from a black box that looked like a pastry box to everyone: "Use this."

"?"

Ran Mo hugged the pile of wood, and could only watch helplessly as the stupid big man next to him snatched the wooden stick before him, gnashing his teeth with hatred.

Sun Dahu: "Master, what's next?" He foolishly held the matchstick, not knowing how to handle it.

Chu Zhao demonstrated, and saw that the small black wooden stick lightly rubbed against the open side of the wooden box, and then it ignited, and the long bright yellow fireworks swayed in the wind.

Everyone's mouths slowly grew into a letter O, and they probed to look at the grater inside the metal matchbox.

"This, this, is this some kind of magical technique?" The captured mountain bandit hurriedly yelled, his face was bruised and swollen, and he was obviously shocked. It's not like they haven't been to the ground for their livelihood. , but I have never seen anything that can be ignited with a light wave!

Take a look, the bright metal shell (actually stainless steel) has a moisture-proof effect, the exquisite flower carvings and the frosted ignition layer in the storage box, with a light stroke, there will be red flames jumping.

How can you not be amazed!

Reminiscent of the scene where Chu Zhao displayed his supernatural power two days ago, the bandit looked at him with a little awe. Could it be that this young man is the reincarnation of a fairy, as those old things in their motorcade said?

Chu Zhao glanced at him, didn't speak, but was a little speechless in his heart. It was just an old-fashioned metal matchbox bought at a discount of [-] yuan in the mall. You guys have too much drama, right?

The most urgent task is to burn the giant ball first. Chu Zhao didn't say any more, but went to the place where the giant meteor fell, and placed the firewood in a well, hoping to get a lot of heat in a short time to ignite the huge black ball. ball.

Then wave your hand to let others fetch more lit firewood.

Sun Dahu didn't understand why the young master ordered them to do this, but the young master had a miraculous ability to listen to him, so he ran forward carefully holding a small wooden box that was not half the size of his hand, and a group of veterans carried the pile of firewood Chasing after him madly, the scene was a bit ridiculous.

After finishing all this, Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows and clapped his hands, turned to face the thieves who were tied up and sat in a row, and smiled slowly.

A group of bandits: "..."

It's okay if they are wrong, hero, spare your life!

--

The rain dries up, and the wet grass mud is no longer an obstacle to the carriage.

The convoy of the Princess Mansion repacked and set off on the road.

When walking outside, fire is very important, especially in this weird weather where the daytime is still scorchingly hot, but the night is so cold that the teeth are fighting.

Chu Zhao took out two boxes of matches, and gave one box to Ada, the captain of the guards, but the other box fell below the eyes of everyone, and handed it to the eldest princess who has been helping Chu Zhao since she gave up making small thoughts for Chu Zhao. Liuli who does things.

Seeing the metal matchbox that Chu Zhao handed him, the ferocious knife marks on the old man's face softened a lot. Having licked blood with the tip of a knife on many battlefields, he is well-informed, so naturally he would not think that this "matchstick" Could it really be some kind of miraculous fairy, just feel happy for the little master's trust.

If Ada is joy, Liuli is an antonym.

Joyful, complicated, moved, hesitant, timid.

In just a moment, Chu Zhao saw so many emotions flashing across the face of the girl in front of him.

Finally, it was fixed on a deeply drooping face.

The beautiful maidservant's expression still had the shock of being caught off guard, na na speechless,

"Master, give this to me?"

She thought that the young master didn't want to see her again...

Chu Zhao: "Well, you are not doing things for your mother. It will be more difficult to take care of the daily chores of a caravan. It is cold at night. This box of matches can be used on the tip of your knife."

Liuli raised her head in a daze, looking at the man in front of her, with a proud demeanor, with a mature demeanor that transitioned from a teenager to a young man, a demeanor that people couldn't take their eyes off at all.

She was slightly in a trance. Could it be that the other party didn't know that the eldest princess transferred her to beat her? It was because she wished to eat swan meat and failed the young master's trust...

Seeing Liuli's expression of hesitation, Chu Zhao thought she still had something to say: "What's wrong?"

"I, I," Liuli stared at him, and somehow said suddenly, "Master, I'm not worthy."

Chu Zhao looked at her in surprise,

"So? You just have to tell me if you can do it."

Seeing the other party's expression, Chu Zhao knew that it must be what the eldest princess said to Liuli that made this happen, but no matter how stupid Chu Zhao was, he would not question his own mother for a servant, what he needs now is a capable person, It doesn't matter if Liuli can't do it, some people are watching from behind.

"Take it if you can, it's yours."

After hesitating for a while, Liuli took the silver box from Chu Zhao's hand, biting his lower lip. His eyes made Chu Zhao see a bit of the sharpness of the eldest princess. I don't know if it was his illusion.

"Young master, this slave is offended."

Liuli took a step back and lowered her head. With the fingertips under her sleeves, she carefully stroked the beautifully shaped metal storage box. She slowly tightened her fingers, and the corners of her eyes felt unnaturally moist.

——The young master's trust, she will never let her down again.

Chu Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior at all, and he didn't think there was any problem with giving things to Liuli, who he grew up with.On the contrary, the maids in the convoy looked at Liuli after they knew about this incident. Their eyes changed from ridicule and schadenfreude to faint respect with envy behind them.

After going from hell to heaven, Liuli's state of mind is not the same as before. Now she doesn't care much about other people's opinions, she just wants to do her best to do the task assigned to him by the young master.

To tell everyone staring at her that she is the most worthy one, Chu Zhao's trust is not wrong!

After the eldest princess heard what Mammy said, she smiled and didn't speak. She fiddled with the incense in the stove with Zhu Kou's painted nails, and Danfeng half-closed her eyes: "Young man."

Mammy: "Your Highness doesn't seem angry?"

The eldest princess: "Zhao'er can learn the art of manipulating people, why should I be angry? But this Liuli... can be cultivated for the time being."

Mammy understood.

Therefore, Liuli often turns a blind eye to Liuli's arrangement in the team. Although his attitude has not changed in any way, there are more things secretly delegated to the other party, and there is a faint desire to train the other party to be the first housekeeper. trend.
