In the evening, the door of the villa was knocked again. The village head sincerely apologized for what happened before, but did not mention the whole story, and then invited a group of people to the ancestral hall for a dinner.

Of course Luo Yinbing and Ji Chu would not refuse.

A group of five set off, and saw many villagers along the way, the young ones were only six or seven years old, and the older ones had gray beards and hair. They all had joyful smiles on their faces, and they did not see the haze of the end times at all.

Luo Yinbing followed the village chief and walked all the way to the ancestral hall. He said it was a gathering in the ancestral hall, but in fact the place was set in an open space on the side. There was a bonfire in the center of the open space. Dozens of tables were placed around the bonfire. Many people had already gathered. sit on the seat.

There is a stage next to it, and they are singing babbling songs. They are all clichéd old scripts, but what the villagers want is just the atmosphere. No one really listens to the play seriously, but they are in small groups in the background music. to fight together to drink.

Luo Yinbing was a little stunned to find that this dinner was more lively than he had imagined. Even before the end of the world, he had rarely participated in such a grand gathering.

Luo Yinbing and his party were arranged at a table near the bonfire. Several villagers were already sitting there, and when they saw them, they all showed kind smiles.

The situation in front of him was too surprising, Luo Yinbing and Ji Chu exchanged glances, but they were both puzzled.

Luo Yinbing finally looked at Gu Cha, the young man with a baby face was smiling now, the bonfire fell into his eyes, making his eyes bright, Luo Yinbing said in a low voice: "Analyze the food here."

Gu Cha was startled, and suddenly came back to his senses. Since they were participating in the dinner party, they must eat these dishes, and they had to be cautious. He looked at the villagers on the left and right who had already started eating without paying attention. Chewing carefully for a long time.

Gu Cha's eyes flickered, he pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and finally said, "No problem."

He put down his chopsticks, poured another glass of wine, respected Luo Yinbing and the others from a distance, and drank it down, the firelight coated his baby face with a layer of light, and the corners of his mouth turned up to reveal pear dimples, and said: "Good wine. "

So the party continued.

Luo Yinbing picked up the chopsticks, looked at the table in front of him, and felt the excitement of the New Year before the apocalypse. He couldn't help but smile slightly. Luo Yinbing didn't look forward to the taste before eating the food, but his eyes lit up after eating.

It's not an amazing taste, but with the smoke and fire that is unique to home-cooked dishes, this is the taste that everyone has been away for a long time. It has been too long since I have eaten such a dish.

Compared with this banquet, the food in the canteen in the safety zone can be regarded as dry food.

Luo Yinbing took a few mouthfuls, and suddenly felt another person's gaze, and turned his head to meet Shang Jichu's gaze. The young man was holding the chopsticks with his slender fingertips, but instead of dropping them, he tilted his head, gently and seriously Look at Luo Yinbing.

Luo Yinbing looked back at him suspiciously.

Ji Chu sat beside him. The young man's profile was handsome, with deep and sharp features, but the gentleness of his brows and eyes neutralized the sharpness of his temperament. The orange light fell on his face, which was coated with a halo, and his eyes were filled with warmth. bright colors.

Luo Yinbing asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Ji Chu got closer, and the villagers not far away were bustling and noisy, so he leaned directly into Luo Yinbing's ear, and whispered softly in a deep voice, "I want to see what you like."

Before Luo Yinbing could reply, he said again: "In addition to that house, there is also a piece of land in my space, which has been left unused before, maybe it can be used in the future."

Luo Yinbing asked, "Use it?"

Ji Chu smiled: "Plant some vegetables that you like, so that you can eat whatever you want in the future."

Luo Yinbing imagined the scene, he thought, what Ji Chu wanted might not be as simple as what he said on the surface, that young man had always longed to have a home, maybe he wanted to turn that space into a home, into a place in the last days. A Taoyuan.

Luo Yinbing smiled, who would have thought that what the most powerful person in the world would have thought was actually a leisurely farming life, but he found that he couldn't help being moved, couldn't help imagining what such a life would be like.

Luo Yinbing raised his glass to Ji Chu and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

Thousands of people were sitting in this open space, and the lively laughter and laughter could be heard. Perhaps because of the influence of this environment, the gloomy look in Luo Yinbing's eyes dissipated, and there was a gleam of light in the corner of his mouth. smile.

Ji Chu looked at him, his Adam's apple moved slightly, then his eyelashes drooped slightly, and the invisible field opened.

Luo Yinbing suddenly noticed that the movements of all the people around him stopped, instead of slowing down as before, but completely paused. Among the crowd, only Ji Chu was still looking at him tenderly, with light-colored pupils filled with Shining stars.

Ji Chu said softly, "I want to kiss you."

On the dining table, Lu Ning turned his head habitually, showing a look of looking for candy, and then he paused.

The corners of Luo Yinbing's eyes were reddish, and he was panting lightly, his lips were moistened with water, and looked a little tempting, a question mark suddenly popped up in Lu Ning's heart.

What happened at that moment just now?

Lu Ning went to see Ji Chu again, and found that the young man looked full and had a faint smile on his face.

A bold idea came to Lu Ning's mind. She raised her glass and asked tentatively, "How is this wine?"

Both Luo Yinbing and Ji Chu cast their eyes on her, Lu Ning pretended to be calm and said: "If it's too strong, I won't try it."

Luo Yinbing was silent for a moment, as if refusing to reply.

Ji Chu pursed his lips, smiled lightly and said, "It's very sweet."

Lu Ning nodded expressionlessly, confirming his guess, now Luo Yinbing and Ji Chu can show their affection in public without being known to outsiders, Lu Ning, as an outsider who wants to eat sugar, raised his hand and put the The wine was drained in one gulp.

Bitter wine hurts the throat.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!" A violent cough sounded, Lu Ning blushed and looked at the wine glass in his hand, and then at Ji Chu.

It is conservatively estimated that this glass of wine has more than 40 degrees, but just now Ji Chu told her with a smile that it is very sweet.

Lu Ning: Is it sweet wine?

No, it's love.

Halfway through the banquet, the villagers in Xuejia Village were all excited. Many of them drank, left their seats flushed and gathered around the bonfire, dancing. Xuejia Village was like the most common place before the end of the world. Like a village, they laughed and sang and danced.

Looking at the cheerful figures of the crowd in the firelight, Luo Yinbing was affected by the laughter, but somehow felt a trace of sadness.

A strong man in his 30s walked by. It was a villager at the next table. His face was flushed, his eyes were a little blurred, he jumped around the fire several times, and suddenly fell to his knees.

The flames reflected on his face, Luo Yinbing saw that with tears in his eyes, the strong man kowtowed in the direction of the ancestral hall, and he stood up unsteadily after a long time.

He said in a loud voice: "Ancestor bless, let my wife and daughter be safe!"

The villagers in Xuejia Village were silent for a moment, and then the voices became noisy again, and people kept prostrating, begging for the safety of their families.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Luo Yinbing fell into deep thought. An inexplicable complex emotion infected the villagers, but he couldn't see what the emotion was.

Luo Yinbing looked at Ji Chu, but before he could speak, the young man asked in a tacit understanding, "Go out for a walk?"

Luo Yinbing nodded, and the two told Lu Ning and Gu Cha to remember to go back to their residence earlier, then quietly got up and left the ancestral hall.

Almost all the villagers in the village gathered in the ancestral hall. Xuejia Village was empty and the roads were deserted.

After walking for a few minutes, the noise behind him died down, and Ji Chu suddenly approached, holding Luo Yinbing in his arms.

Luo Yinbing was startled for a moment, but she didn't resist. Instead, she took advantage of the situation and adjusted into a more comfortable position in Ji Chu's embrace, then turned her head slightly, looking at Ji Chu's handsome profile who was close at hand.

Luo Yinbing smiled and said, "Why are you hugging me again all of a sudden?"

Ji Chu replied in a deep voice, "I'm drunk."

Luo Yinbing was a little funny, Ji Chu obviously didn't drink alcohol, at most he passed half a mouthful, how could he be drunk, he looked at Ji Chu through the lamp by the roadside, and found that the young man's face was calm as usual, but the tips of his ears turned red Thoroughly.

Ji Chu paused, and said softly, "I want to hug you."

Since Luo Yinbing's right knee recovered, Ji Chu's opportunities to hug him have decreased a lot. Although he still tried his best not to miss every opportunity, he always felt that it was not enough.

Ji Chu sighed softly: "I want to hold you forever and never let go."

Luo Yinbing glanced at the young man's face pretending to be calm, then at his blushing ears, relaxed lazily, rubbed against the young man's ear, and replied, "Okay."

Ji Chu's eyes brightened slightly, and following the guidance of the young man in his arms, he carried him all the way to where Luo Yinbing wanted to go.

Standing at the entrance of Xuejia Village, Ji Chu asked in confusion, "Why do you come here?"

Luo Yinbing touched his shoulder. Although Ji Chu was reluctant, he knew that it was time to get down to business, so he put Luo Yinbing down.

Luo Yinbing's eyes, which were filled with a smile just now, sank and turned into a usual silence. He said, "I've been very strange since I first came here. I've never seen any safe zone without walls, but Xuejia Village But no, he is in the middle of two provinces and cities, but he doesn't seem to worry about zombie attacks at all."

Ji Chu was startled, he quickly got into the mood, followed Luo Yinbing's thoughts and said, "This is consistent with their refusal to go to the safe zone."

Because they knew that they would not be attacked by zombies, the villagers of Xuejia Village did not need to build walls, nor did they need to go to the safe zone like other villages, but the question was, why did they know that they would not be attacked by zombies?

Luo Yinbing said: "Let's go, walk around the village, maybe we can find something."

On a night when the moon was scarce, the howling wind during the day also stopped. Luo Yinbing and Ji Chu walked side by side under the moonlight. They knew that they were doing business, and their eyes kept scanning the ground in front of them, but their hands couldn't help but move. Handshake.

Ten minutes later, Luo Yinbing and Ji Chu walked to the northeast corner of the village. The accident during the day happened near here, and the two immediately became more focused on searching.

The road in front of him was not smooth, Luo Yinbing's eyes scanned carefully, not ignoring the ravines and debris piled up on the ground, when passing by a certain house, he suddenly paused.

His eyes fell on the ups and downs of the ground not far away, where it looked like the ground was uneven, but the observation power endowed by the supernatural power of the brain made Luo Yinbing notice something abnormal.

Luo Yinbing's eyes darkened. Seeing his expression, Ji Chu walked up neatly. The engineering shovel appeared in the young man's hands out of thin air. He quickly dug up a corner of the ground, revealing the things hidden inside.

It was a zombie.

The zombie was completely dead, its gray skin was stained with dirt, and its scarlet eyes were closed. What appeared in front of the two of them was only a pale and emaciated corpse.

Somebody buried it here, and even filled up the ground in a disguised way, so that people can't see that something was buried here, only the slight ups and downs of the ground can be seen.

Ji Chu got up, frowned slightly, put on a pair of gloves and continued digging.

The corpse of the zombie was finally fully exposed in front of the two of them. Luo Yinbing squatted down and looked at the zombie in front of him. He had seen countless corpses of zombies before, and the one in front of him was no different at first glance.

But when his eyes fell on a certain place, Luo Yinbing's breathing suddenly stopped.

The zombie's brain is empty.

Not long after the end of the world, humans knew that the weakness of zombies was in the head, and they still had the crystals in their brains. After that, it was difficult for the zombies to keep their skulls intact. Humans were keen to split their skulls and use the crystals inside as hunting tools. reward.

Therefore, Luo Yinbing had seen countless zombies with damaged brains, but none of them were like the one in front of him.

Its skull is not damaged, but a large piece is missing, and its brain has not been damaged by searching for the crystal, but it is completely missing.

The zombie's scalp was limp and drooping, and Luo Yinbing's complexion changed slightly. It was as if someone hunted the zombie in front of him, and then dug out the brain as prey, or even... food.

Luo Yinbing thought of the porcelain altar in the afternoon.

At that time, he saw that there was something like meat paste inside, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Thinking about it now, the doubt suddenly has an answer.

Luo Yinbing felt a slight chill behind his back. He looked at the village in front of him. The villagers of Xuejia Village obviously looked hospitable and friendly, and the folk customs were also very simple. It was unexpected that they could do such a thing.

Luo Yinbing pursed his lips. The investigation had progressed, but he was even more puzzled.

He looked down at the corpse and said, "Bury it back first."

The situation is not clear, they can't scare the snake, they should bury it first to see the follow-up actions of the villagers.

Ji Chu nodded, and immediately started to move. Luo Yinbing wanted to help him, but was stopped by the young man.

Ji Chu said in a deep voice, "Dirty."

Luo Yinbing blinked and looked at the young man, just about to say that there is no reason to let you be busy alone, but heard Ji Chu say: "I just don't want you to touch these things."

Luo Yinbing was silent for a moment, then withdrew her hand.

He likes cleanliness, even to the point of a cleanliness obsession, Ji Chu has obviously noticed it a long time ago, and is happy to pamper him on this point.

Ji Chu buried the zombie back. He moved very carefully, and only got dust on the bottom of his trousers. He looked no different from anyone walking, but he actively avoided Luo Yinbing.

The two walked towards the residence, and a few minutes later, Luo Yinbing suddenly approached Ji Chu and held the young man's hand.

Ji Chu's hand was slightly bigger than his, with slender fingers and well-defined joints. Because he was used to using army thorns, his finger pads were covered with calluses, so it was not uncomfortable to hold, but felt at ease.

Luo Yinbing looked forward, didn't turn his head or speak, just held the young man's hand and didn't let go.

Ji Chu twitched his hand, but failed. He paused, slowly tightened his five fingers, and held Luo Yinbing back. His handsome face was illuminated by street lights, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

After returning to the residence, Luo Yinbing saw that the other three had returned, Lu Ning and Wu Fei were in the house, while Gu Cha was lying on the couch in the courtyard, quietly looking up at the night sky.

When he saw Luo Yinbing, the young man sat up a little, hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I have a few words with you?"

Luo Yinbing stopped, looked at Gu Cha, nodded slightly, and asked Ji Chu to go back to the room first.

Luo Yinbing was lying on another recliner, looking at the sky. The only thing that got better after the apocalypse was the air quality. There was no trace of smog. The bright crescent moon was hanging in the air, casting a cool silver glow. There were not many stars tonight. But each one is shining brightly.

Gu Cha said softly, "I'm not doing well today."

The young doll's face was full of melancholy, the dimples were gone from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were a little dim.

As far as he was concerned, his expression today was really terrible, and he rushed to protect Luo Yinbing with all his blood, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't need protection at all, but he himself was injured.

Luo Yinbing said, "You are very good, better than most people I have met."

Accustomed to seeing intrigues in the post-apocalyptic world, and seeing such a sincere person suddenly, Luo Yinbing didn't want the other party's blood to be wiped out.

Gu Cha looked at Luo Yinbing with a chuckle, and said, "Because I think you are like a star, and I don't want to see you get hurt in front of me, so I didn't think too much about it, so I acted directly."

Luo Yinbing was silent.

He didn't agree with what Gu Cha said to him from the bottom of his heart, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

Gu Cha said again: "Actually, I know that Kang Cui has a problem."

Luo Yinbing was a little surprised this time, Kang Cui had been disguised very well, almost no one in the safe zone could see through him, unexpectedly Gu Cha saw through the truth.

Gu Chadao: "I'm an analyst of supernatural powers, and I can see many things more clearly than others, so I can see that Kang Cui's appearance is inconsistent, but I can't expose him, and I even saw him harming someone again. Sad, but there is nothing I can do, and then, I saw you make a move."

Starlight was reflected in Gu Cha's eyes, and the baby-faced young man's expression matured a lot, and he said slowly: "After that, I felt that you are a person like a star, and I probably can't even count as a firefly. Moth."

Luo Yinbing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Cha.

Gu Cha chuckled and said, "Actually, I came to thank you. Moths also yearn for the light. What you did actually pointed out the direction for me."

Luo Yinbing looked at Gu Cha. There were two small dimples on the corners of the young man's mouth, and there was light in his curved eyes. His expression was cheerful and sincere.

Gu Cha said solemnly, "Thank you."
