Zhuang Qian of Rebirth in the End Times
Chapter 48 Children
Zhuang Qian opened his eyes amidst the noise, the thin silk quilt was very warm, he rubbed subconsciously, and found that he was tightly imprisoned in Gu Chen's arms, they had been sleeping together these few days.
Zhuang Qian controlled the source force and opened the window, and the fresh spring breath rushed in with the drizzle, and it rained again.The thin rain made the scenery outside the window hazy and unreal. Zhuang Qian squinted her eyes, feeling the temperature and fresh air behind her comfortably, and felt that the noise downstairs seemed a little far away.
"Mumu, are you awake?" Gu Chen's breath suddenly puffed into his ears, startling Zhuang Qian, he turned his head, Gu Chen's dark eyes still had a hint of confusion from just waking up, but they were much softer than usual, Zhuang Qian Qian lowered her head and kissed him, "It seems that something happened, you should sleep for a while." Then she turned over and got up.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, how could this tone have the feeling that a husband feels towards his wife after a night of ups and downs, he saw Zhuang Qian's back in a good mood and left the room, he couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Qian walked downstairs, her hair was a little wet after washing her face.He noticed that there was a warm breakfast on the square table in the main hall, still emitting a faint white steam, but no one moved their chopsticks.
"Brother Zhuang Qian, Zhang Muyu has escaped." Ye Xiwen was obediently sitting on a chair placed in the hall.
Zhuang Qian was stunned for a moment: "Run away?"
"Zhuang Qian, did you wake me up? You and Gu Chen had a vigil in the middle of the night, do you want to sleep longer?" Ye Jingcheng was coming in from the door with a large blue and white porcelain bowl. When he saw Zhuang Qian, he knew that the voice was too loud in the morning. big.
Zhuang Qian smiled at him: "It's okay, I slept pretty well yesterday." He and Gu Chen went to Moxuan Palace to take a spiritual milk bath at night, and practiced along the way, so it's okay if you don't sleep.
Just as they were talking, Meng Yuan and Yu Mengyao walked in together, followed by the wilting Tang Yunzhe.Meng Yuan glanced at Tang Yunzhe with disgust, Tang Yunzhe silently moved a small bench and sat in the corner, and looked at Zhuang Qian obsequiously: "Boss Zhuang, hehe."
Tang Yunzhe would only yell like that when he did something wrong or wanted to do bad things together, Zhuang Qian stroked his forehead: "Did you let the child go?"
Tang Yunzhe touched his head in embarrassment: "I went to the bathroom halfway, and I was there all the time, and the security formation didn't respond. I only found out that the child was gone in the morning."
"Actually, I can't blame you. Who knows that this house has a basement and leads to the outside." Yu Mengyao smiled at him, and the spring blossomed in an instant, "But you don't eat meat for dinner today."
Tang Yunzhe nodded quickly.
"Have you looked for it?" This is Gu Chen who also came down from upstairs.
Meng Yuan shrugged: "There is no one in Zhang Muyu's house, and he couldn't find it nearby, and he stole some food in the end, so he probably won't show up for the time being."
"I can't help it. Every village has paths and storage rooms that only its own people know. I guess he's hiding." Ye Jingcheng set the tableware, "Let's have breakfast first, and I'll ask after I enter the village."
Several people sat around the table.
"It's a pity, I think the child is suspicious." Gu Chen picked up a piece of shrimp dumpling for Zhuang Qian, and ate one for himself. These were packed from the big restaurant at that time, and they were very delicious when they were warmed up.
Meng Yuan nodded and said the same: "Xiao Xi, make a ball of light and throw it out."
Ye Xiwen seemed to understand a little bit, and quickly gathered a small golden light ball and threw it out. The dark black energy in Meng Yuan's hand rushed up and collided with each other. "Boom—" The two kinds of energy were devoured violently, shrinking smaller and smaller, turning into a golden and black twisted shape, shrunk twice, and suddenly exploded, emitting a dazzling light...Zhuang Qian quickly used a spell to put the Explosions are stuck in a radius.
"You see, the energies of light and dark elements are absolutely in conflict, but that kid named Zhang Muyu has dual elements." Meng Yuan pointed to the floor tiles that were broken into small pieces within the explosion range.
Yu Mengyao touched the emerald jade pendant on his chest: "Besides, when he mentioned his parents, how should I put it, it was as if his tail had been stepped on, and he desperately wanted to fight back sharply, but in fact he was about to cry."
"Let's talk in the village."
By the time they packed up their things and went out, the light rain had stopped, and the trees, flowers and plants seemed to have been washed, with the artistic conception of a landscape painting.The small roads in the countryside are already a little muddy under the drizzle. Walking on the road, you can see the cemented walls outside the village from a distance in the drizzle, which is deep and shallow in the drizzle. It is hard to give this a fresh picture of the countryside after the rain. Added a bit of dignity.
Standing outside the wooden door of the village again, Tang Yunzhe shouted to the guards on the wall: "Hey, brother, we've been staying outside for one night, can you let us in?"
The person on the wall nodded: "Okay, I'll open the door right away."
The wooden door was hung up with a rope, and then tied up after it was closed. Behind the wooden door was a large iron door, which was unloaded from where it was pressed on.The heavy iron door was pulled open, and the wooden door was slowly lowered, set up on the ditch, and when it fell on the ground, it made a loud noise and splashed some muddy water.
The wooden door was a little wet, with muddy footprints on it. Someone had obviously entered and exited. Shallow water had accumulated in the ditch, and occasionally there would be a circle of ripples inside, and then some kind of creature was seen bringing up the sediment at the bottom of the pit. A piece of water is muddied, and then disappears into the turbidity.
"It should be loach, right?" Ye Jingcheng pulled his curious son to prevent him from sliding down.
Walking through the creaking wooden planks, you entered the village.The young guard came up quickly, with a warm smile on his face: "The village told me, I will take you to find him now."
The young man was wearing casual clothes and walking in front with rain boots on his feet. From time to time, he enthusiastically introduced the facilities in the village to them, which was not annoying.
"Are you a college student?" Meng Yuan smiled and chatted with the young man. It's not good to let him say it alone, isn't it?
The young man smiled shyly: "It's just a small city in a three-year school, and I'm worried about graduating and looking for a job. Don't you just go home on weekends and have a look when you're free? It's the end of the world, fortunately!"
"Indeed, you don't know, the city is in chaos." Yu Mengyao, who was not in the city at all, opened her mouth and patted her chest with lingering fear, as if she had thought of something terrible, and her beautiful face was filled with sadness .
The young man was stunned for a moment, and Tang Yunzhe patted him on the shoulder carelessly, "What's the use of studying well in university? Look, we don't need to look for a job now."
Just like this, the young man quickly became acquainted with Zhuang Qian and the others. His name is Zhang Shunnian, and he is one of the Shunzi generation in the village.Soon Zhang Shunnian revealed the basic situation of the village. In such a traditional and backward small village, the head of the village is actually the one with the greatest power, who is often only the direct descendant of the surname Zhang. At the same time, the direct descendants of the village are also very popular Respect, because only they can open ancestral halls to worship ancestors.The ancestral hall of Zhangjia Village is on the mountainside behind the back mountain.
"Worshiping the ancestors?" Zhuang Qian raised his eyebrows, he thought that young people didn't really believe in such things.
Zhang Shunnian's expression was a bit tangled and complicated: "I didn't believe it at first, but you see that the end of the world has arrived, and this ancestral hall is too weird..." As he spoke, a trace of piety appeared on his face involuntarily.
Tang Yunzhe leaned over curiously: "Strange? Tell me, brother!"
Zhang Shunnian's complexion changed, and he stopped talking suddenly: "It's nothing, it's just that every year when there is drought or some disaster, the temple will be opened for sacrifice, but it's a miracle, and I don't believe it."
If I ask him again, he refuses to say a word.
It's impossible for Zhuang Qian and the others to get to the bottom of it, otherwise the intention of the cliché would be too obvious.Just about to ask Zhang Muyu, Zhang Shunnian suddenly leaned into Tang Yunzhe's ear and asked in a low voice, "Brother Tang, did you use electric lights last night? I saw the lights on in your house from afar!" His voice With a hint of eagerness and envy, Zhangjiacun has been cut off from electricity since the end of the world. There are diesel generators in the village, but who is willing to use that little oil until the critical moment?
Although Zhang Shunnian's voice was quite low, everyone after the marrow washing and training could still hear it. No wonder he suddenly became so enthusiastic.
Tang Yunzhe pointed at Zhuang Qian proudly: "Have you seen him? Have you seen the space ability? He has a generator in his space!"
"Ah!" Zhang Shunnian glanced at Zhuang Qian enviously. There are more than a dozen spatial abilities in the village. Although they have no self-protection ability when they go on missions, they are always protected and given preferential treatment. He has long been envious of this ability. can.After thinking about it, Zhang Shunnian asked in amazement again: "Then how much oil do you burn every day for using electricity like this, it's hard to find oil."
Tang Yunzhe was even more proud: "Ours is a solar generator, it doesn't burn oil, and it was collected when passing through D city."
Just as Zhang Shunnian was about to ask again, he found that he had already arrived at the center of the village. There was a spacious courtyard house, where the village usually held business meetings and entertained guests, and the village head's house was next to the courtyard house.
"I'll go and tell the village chief first, you wait." Zhang Shunnian, a young man with poor routine skills, entered the gate of the courtyard with some regrets, leaving Zhuang Qian and others outside.
In the reception room, the village head is a man in his 50s, in good spirits, talking enthusiastically to and from Gu Chen, much smoother than Zhang Shunnian standing behind him.Zhuang Qian and the others looked at each other without saying a word. There was still an old man sitting in the room, who was the one who saw them yesterday.It is said that he is Zhang Shunnian's fourth uncle and is very respected in the village.
"Village chief, it might be impolite to ask. Do you know why Zhangjia Village is not lost?" Gu Chen went straight to the point after exchanging pleasantries for a while.
The village was stunned for a moment, but Fourth Uncle Zhang spoke directly, stroking his white beard with his old hand: "That's the ancestors bless us." He said it with certainty and absoluteness, and his tone couldn't help being proud, as if being sheltered was a thing. It's an honor.
Zhuang Qian felt helpless: "Then do you know why there are so many zombies on the highway?"
Uncle Zhang's tone was still the same as before, slowly, with affirmation: "You don't know, it was the ancestors who lured away all the monsters."
Gu Chen looked at the village head and found that his eyes also agreed.
Seeing that there was nothing to be asked from the higher-ups, Yu Mengyao asked softly: "You know there is a child outside the village named Zhang Muyu..."
Before the words were finished, the faces of the village chief and Uncle Zhang changed. Uncle Zhang's eyes were filled with disgust and disgust, and the village chief's eyes were filled with guilt and guilt.Fourth Uncle Zhang held his crutches and slammed the ground hard: "Their family has made God unhappy, this is punishment!"
The village head looked at everyone's suspicious eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he is younger, and his family conditions are considered the best in the village. He has received anti-feudal education, so he is still a little embarrassed to treat a child like this.But he is too evil, the village chief thought, these people don't know, this is really an order from their ancestors!Thinking of this, the village chief coughed twice: "You guys don't know, but we have no choice but to order to punish their family." He pointed to the sky with a mysterious expression on his face.
Standing behind the village chief, Zhang Shunnian completely lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Uncle Zhang took a breath, his cloudy eyes were full of disgust: "He is the broom star, the disaster star."
……
It was embarrassing for the topic to come to this point. Zhuang Qian and the others then rejected the village chief's request to change the generator, and delivered the food for the first three days.The village head seemed to be in a bad mood, so he didn't bother them too much. He only asked them to provide food in the future, and then hand it over to the village office.
Zhang Shunnian led Zhuang Qian and others to the residence with a strange expression on his face.
"Brother Zhang, is this true? Really..." Tang Yunzhe pointed to the sky hesitantly.
Zhang Shunnian sighed with a complicated expression, and shook his head: "I don't know, have you met Zhang Muyu? He is also to blame, but..." He sighed again, "Actually, this matter is a bit complicated. , but most of the people in the village are very traditional, and not many have gone to school, so don’t ask.”——
Day 49 God bless?
Soon, Zhang Shunnian led them to a small single-family courtyard. The old-fashioned courtyard was a bit dilapidated, but it could be seen that it had been refurbished, and the size was just right.
Zhang Shunnian asked them to wait in place, and shouted to a yard opposite: "Aunt Wang!! I brought someone here."
In the opposite yard is a newly built small building, four stories high, with white bricks on the walls, which is a popular house style in rural areas a few years ago.Soon, the iron door of the small building opposite was opened, and a fat woman in a calico apron came out while wiping her hands: "Here, come, why is it so early, I thought it would be noon? "
The woman named Aunt Wang had a simple but enthusiastic smile. Like most rural women, she was not well dressed and her skin was rough. Her black hair was simply tied up and tied with a black hair tie.Aunt Wang came out and patted Zhang Shunnian: "Nianzi, go to my house to drink quilt water, Haizi was thinking about you yesterday, hey, it would be great if Dajiang was still here."
As Aunt Wang said, her enthusiastic face was a little gloomy, but he quickly cheered up and greeted Zhuang Qian and the others: "Look at me, you are temporarily living in the village, children in big cities are just different. The skin is tender and tender, and it looks energetic. Come on, the house opposite is my house. It is usually vacant, and it is rented out when people come. Don’t look at the old house. The furniture inside is all newly built and used. They are all high-quality wood, I didn't say that, Xiaoyu's father's carpentry is..."
Originally, Aunt Wang led Zhuang Qian and others into the house while talking enthusiastically, but at this point, she seemed to have turned over some taboo, and suddenly closed her mouth, with panic and fear on her face.She clasped her rough hands together in a pose of worshiping Buddha, bowed to the sky twice, then put it down, and wiped her hands with her apron embarrassedly: "You see, I don't know much about talking, so let's go into the room, I It was cleaned yesterday."
Everyone looked at each other and followed into the house.
This is a two-story house. The light in the room is a little dark, but it is newly repaired inside. The floor is not a concrete floor, but tiles, and the walls are covered with light-colored wallpaper. There is no display in the hall. furniture.Going up the stairs, the ground is covered with floors. Although it looks like artificial wood and the quality is average, it brightens the color of the whole room. There are three rooms on the second floor. The wooden furniture inside looks of good quality, although the style Simple, but strong and durable.
"Look, this is the master bedroom. This room is for children. This room is usually empty. You can sleep with a few quilts. There is also a guest room on the first floor." Aunt Wang introduced the room, her eyes were moving The wall of the master bedroom is a little sad and sad, there are a few nails, there is nothing on it, but there are two squares on the white wallpaper, which are lighter.
Soon everyone returned to the living room. Zhuang Qian took out a large sofa and invited Aunt Wang to sit on it: "Aunt Wang, sit down."
Aunt Wang's eyes showed surprise and envy: "This is a spatial ability!"
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but I feel a space when I wake up." Zhuang Qian nodded, with a little joy and pride on her face.
"Spatial powers are good! Little boy is lucky." Aunt Wang rubbed the hem of her apron cautiously, and looked at the white leather sofa hesitantly, "I won't sit on this one, give me a bench Enough."
Yu Mengyao gently put her hands on Aunt Wang's shoulders, and gently pressed her on the sofa, with a little girl acting like a baby to her elders: "Aunt Wang, just sit down, we are guests, how can we let the master Make hard benches at home."
Aunt Wang continued to rub the change of her apron: "Oh, okay, sit here."
She watched Zhuang Qian take out a coffee table and a set of tea sets, and then started to make tea, she couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed, the kids in the city are so particular.
"Aunt Wang, we just want to ask you about the situation in the last days." Ye Jingcheng smiled softly, and it was easy for the elderly to have a good impression.
Aunt Wang nodded, and was just about to agree, when suddenly there was a "beep" sound in her pocket, Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, and took out an electronic watch from her apron pocket in embarrassment: "Ah, I'm going back to make It's time for dinner, why don't I come over in the afternoon." Aunt Wang said with some embarrassment.
Gu Chen put the poured tea in front of Aunt Wang: "Why don't you eat here again? We happen to be cooking too, and we have nothing to thank you for cleaning the house."
Aunt Wang quickly refused: "Hey, I still have two children waiting to eat at home, forget it."
Ye Xiwen gently tugged at the corner of Ye Jingcheng's clothes, looking expectantly.Ye Jingcheng patted his head: "Why don't you call the child over, Aunt Wang, and it will be very convenient to add two pairs of chopsticks."
"This...isn't that good?" Aunt Wang was still hesitant.
"What's wrong with that? You see, my son hasn't been with his peers for a long time, so it's good to let the children play!" Ye Jingcheng touched his son's crotch again, and Ye Xiwen nodded shyly.
Aunt Wang thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay then, shall I call the child first?"
"Why don't you sit down for a while, Aunt Wang, and call after the meal is ready. By the way, you can also tell us about the end times." Gu Chen said.
Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, and sat down. After all, there is always a shortage of food in the last days, and a meal is a meal. But in this case, she was too embarrassed to always refuse, so she had to stay.
Ye Jingcheng and Yu Mengyao went to cook, and Aunt Wang sat on the sofa and talked to the rest of the people. She was a little embarrassed at first, but she was originally a simple and kind rural woman, and with the eloquence of several people , and soon everyone chatted enthusiastically.
Aunt Wang's husband is surnamed Zhang. She married her in the early years and has been living here. She has three sons, the eldest son Zhang Shunjiang, the second son Zhang Shunhe, and the younger son Zhang Shunhai who was born later in life. Grandson Zhang Huayang is five years older.Originally, the family lived in poverty, but later the second son studied and made money, and life began to improve. Zhang Shunhe built a new house and took his parents to live with his younger brother. Zhang Shunjiang lived in the old house. can take care of each other.Unexpectedly, the end of the world will come as soon as it is said. The husband, Zhang Shunjiang, his wife and the second daughter-in-law have all turned into zombies, and the family suddenly becomes difficult. During the day, Zhang Shunhe goes out to join the adventure team or patrol to make ends meet. His house was vacant, and people who came here usually rented it out to subsidize their families.
Zhuang Qian also published some adventures in the last days, and Aunt Wang got acquainted with these young people immediately, she became less wary and became a lot closer.
At this time, Yu Mengyao and Ye Jingcheng were almost ready to cook the food. They put away the sofa and coffee table, put them on the big round table, and started to arrange the bowls and chopsticks. Aunt Wang went home to call the two children.
When Aunt Wang led the two children into the room, they smelled a strong smell of rice. The two children sniffed, swallowed, and their eyes became longing.But Aunt Wang told her before going out, so they just watched and didn't move.
When Aunt Wang looked at the table, she couldn't help but secretly startled. This table had beer-roasted chicken, a piece of braised fish, and salt and pepper pork ribs. The vegetables in the other dishes were very fresh, and there was plenty of room for the meat. Even all the bowls Added white rice.Aunt Wang became cautious all of a sudden, even before the end of the world, she had never eaten such a good dish, not to mention after the end of the world, their family did not eat meat or rice for a week.Aunt Wang pulled the two children back again and again: "This, this is not acceptable, Zhuang Qian, this is too extravagant, I'd better go home and make some noodles."
Aunt Wang wanted to turn around and leave, but the two children remained motionless, looking at Aunt Wang with eager and expectant eyes, as if they would cry if you don't feed them.Especially the little grandson Zhang Huayang, who had already put his hand in his mouth and gnawed.Aunt Wang got angry and twisted the child's back. The child's feet seemed to have roots, and he insisted on not moving. However, one of these two was born late, and the other was the only golden grandson. They usually don't know how expensive they are. It's not that they have been sharpened in the last days, and they are already noisy now.
Yu Mengyao was putting down the hair she had rolled up while cooking, and her black hair was flowing softly on her shoulders. She bent down slightly, showing a gentle smile: "Are you hungry, kid?"
"Auntie, I'm hungry." Zhang Shunhai hurriedly said loudly, staring at the chicken legs on the plate without moving.
"Then sit down and eat." Yu Mengyao greeted, the child cheered and ran to the table, climbed up the bench with difficulty, picked up the chopsticks and started to attack.Aunt Wang awkwardly stirred the apron with her hands, her face was a little anxious.
Yu Mengyao then pushed Aunt Wang to sit at the table: "You can eat it, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted. Besides, children are growing up, so it is always good to have supplementary nutrition."
Aunt Wang picked up the chopsticks in embarrassment, but still ate very little meat, and occasionally ate some vegetables, and looked embarrassed to accompany the rice, but she didn't stop the two children from eating so much that their faces were covered with tears. Oil, after all, the child hasn't eaten well for a long time, it's so pitiful.
After the meal, Aunt Wang grabbed the two children tightly, ignoring their pleading eyes, and prepared to drag them home.She bent down and thanked desperately: "I'm really sorry, I missed a meal..."
Zhuang Qian and Gu Chen looked at each other, Zhuang Qian put a bag of rice and a few live chickens in front of Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang was startled: "Son Zhuang Qian... what are you doing?"
Gu Chen followed Zhuang Qian, smiling: "Aunt Wang, we want to know more about the end times, this is just a little thank you."
"No, no, how did this happen, and this, this is nothing to say!" Aunt Wang gratefully let go of the child's hand and shook it desperately.
The hens had brightly colored feathers. They struggled a few times and made a cooing sound even though their feet were tied. The two children looked at the hens with longing eyes.We must know that spring is the time when the crops are green and yellow. The grain stored in winter has been used up, and new ones have not yet grown.These days, even in rural areas, rice is rarely stored. They just save enough for their own use, and sell the rest to improve their lives.Besides, after Aunt Wang's second son, Zhang Shunhe, got rich, she and her wife didn't do much farming and raising animals. They just grew some vegetables and ate them in the yard. They usually concentrated on taking care of their children and chatting with neighbors.
At this moment, the eyes of the two children who had only eaten meat once in a few days lit up instantly.
"Grandma knows!" Zhang Huayang bit his finger and shouted vaguely, "Grandma, I want to eat eggs!! I want to eat eggs!!"
Aunt Wang became anxious: "What nonsense! I just told these kids what I know!"
"I don't care, I don't care! I want to eat eggs!" With tears in his eyes, Zhang Huayang sat on the ground and howled dryly.
Aunt Wang was struggling with the hem of the apron desperately in embarrassment. She wanted to pull the child up and give him a hard lesson, but she was too embarrassed to do it in front of so many people.She glared at her grandson, then looked at her younger son: "Hai Zi, you pulled Yang Yang up, how embarrassing it is..."
Zhang Shunhai stared at his mother, and suddenly rolled his eyes: "Mom, what are you afraid of? Tell them that there will be no loss of meat. Our family is living the worst life in the village now!"
"This..." Aunt Wang was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.
Gu Chen looked at Aunt Wang: "I promise, nothing you said will come out of this house, you see we also want to see our family members soon, please do me a favor!"
Aunt Wang looked hesitantly at the five live chickens, one male, four females, and a bag of rice.This is when Zhang Huayang yelled even louder, with snot and tears streaming out: "Wow, Mom, Dad, I want to eat meat... Woohoo, I want to eat meat..."
Hearing her grandson mention the dead eldest son, Aunt Wang hesitated even more. She gritted her teeth, but she still ended up with the bag of rice: "Boy, you can't tell others what I said, and no one can say what the village chief said." of."
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Xiwen took the two children upstairs to play, the big dining table was put away again, and everyone sat on the sofa again.
"Our Zhangjia Village was not here in the past." Aunt Wang took a sip of tea and said nervously, "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the village was still on the side of the back mountain. Later, when the road was demolished, all of them were moved. Came here."
"Originally, the village was at the foot of the mountain, and the ancestral hall was halfway up the mountain. According to our records, the ancestral hall has been built for hundreds of years, and the tablets inside are densely packed. In fact, no one knows when it was there. So even though the village was moved, But the ancestral hall halfway up the mountain is still untouched, and we usually climb over the mountain to worship ancestors, and the mountain is not high. We are used to doing farm work, and we are not tired, and we seem more sincere."
Aunt Wang organized the language: "Don't say it, this ancestral hall is alive. Usually, it is the Chinese New Year to worship the ancestors. Only the old people in the village can open the door to host. For example, I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. I can only stand outside the door. But outside the Chinese New Year In time, if there is any disaster, the village will open an ancestral hall to worship, not to mention it is quite effective, I remember one year of drought, there was no drop of water, we opened the ancestral hall and knelt for a day, and it rained the next day..." she recalled With a pious light on his face.
"Hey..." Aunt Wang sighed, "You must just want to ask why the village is not lost but the road is full of it! That is really the ancestors blessed us in the sky! Let me tell you, don't tell others, before the end of the world, summer In September, the rain kept falling, and it kept raining. Seeing that the farmer was about to die and the village was about to be flooded, we were ready to worship our ancestors."
"In the end, the ancestor actually appeared. He gave us a warning and stopped the rain. But we didn't pay attention at that time. You know, young children nowadays can't do this. Hey, the damage caused was really big. Later we were in the ancestral hall The offering of treasures was requested by the ancestors themselves, and the ancestors began to bless us."
"Look, the zombies on the road are actually surrounding the ancestral hall. Our ancestors lured all the zombies away, so that we will be safe." Aunt Wang's face showed a kind of extreme trust and gratitude for the unknown, and she was a little proud , just like the fourth uncle Zhang in the village.
……
Everyone was silent for a while. This sounds unbelievable, but everyone in the village is so convinced that there must be a reason behind it.
"Then, Aunt Wang, do you know Zhang Muyu?" Tang Yunzhe said, "Did you mention that 'Xiao Yu's father' refers to his father? He seems to be able to do carpentry." Tang Yunzhe thought of the place in the yard. A pile of well-preserved scrap wood and old patched wooden horses, as well as professional tools scattered all over the place...
Aunt Wang's expression changed instantly, her eyes opened wide: "This... who told you about this child?!"
"We met by ourselves, what's wrong with him?" Zhuang Qian asked curiously, Zhang Muyu seemed to be taboo in the village.
Aunt Wang shook her head with a pale face: "I really can't say this, this child is very pitiful, but you should stay away from him, no, no..." She said, with a trace of fear and disgust mixed with sympathy and regret on her face. Together, it seems very complicated.
"There's nothing you can't say, he's a disaster! He killed brother and father!!" A sharp voice shouted, and everyone turned their heads. Zhang Shunhai stood at the stairs with a look of resentment and disgust, while Behind him, Zhang Huayang also stood with a disgusted expression, and there were tears in his eyes.
Ye Xiwen, who was walking at the end, shrugged apologetically: "They are going to come down to use the toilet."——
Zhuang Qian controlled the source force and opened the window, and the fresh spring breath rushed in with the drizzle, and it rained again.The thin rain made the scenery outside the window hazy and unreal. Zhuang Qian squinted her eyes, feeling the temperature and fresh air behind her comfortably, and felt that the noise downstairs seemed a little far away.
"Mumu, are you awake?" Gu Chen's breath suddenly puffed into his ears, startling Zhuang Qian, he turned his head, Gu Chen's dark eyes still had a hint of confusion from just waking up, but they were much softer than usual, Zhuang Qian Qian lowered her head and kissed him, "It seems that something happened, you should sleep for a while." Then she turned over and got up.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, how could this tone have the feeling that a husband feels towards his wife after a night of ups and downs, he saw Zhuang Qian's back in a good mood and left the room, he couldn't help laughing.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Qian walked downstairs, her hair was a little wet after washing her face.He noticed that there was a warm breakfast on the square table in the main hall, still emitting a faint white steam, but no one moved their chopsticks.
"Brother Zhuang Qian, Zhang Muyu has escaped." Ye Xiwen was obediently sitting on a chair placed in the hall.
Zhuang Qian was stunned for a moment: "Run away?"
"Zhuang Qian, did you wake me up? You and Gu Chen had a vigil in the middle of the night, do you want to sleep longer?" Ye Jingcheng was coming in from the door with a large blue and white porcelain bowl. When he saw Zhuang Qian, he knew that the voice was too loud in the morning. big.
Zhuang Qian smiled at him: "It's okay, I slept pretty well yesterday." He and Gu Chen went to Moxuan Palace to take a spiritual milk bath at night, and practiced along the way, so it's okay if you don't sleep.
Just as they were talking, Meng Yuan and Yu Mengyao walked in together, followed by the wilting Tang Yunzhe.Meng Yuan glanced at Tang Yunzhe with disgust, Tang Yunzhe silently moved a small bench and sat in the corner, and looked at Zhuang Qian obsequiously: "Boss Zhuang, hehe."
Tang Yunzhe would only yell like that when he did something wrong or wanted to do bad things together, Zhuang Qian stroked his forehead: "Did you let the child go?"
Tang Yunzhe touched his head in embarrassment: "I went to the bathroom halfway, and I was there all the time, and the security formation didn't respond. I only found out that the child was gone in the morning."
"Actually, I can't blame you. Who knows that this house has a basement and leads to the outside." Yu Mengyao smiled at him, and the spring blossomed in an instant, "But you don't eat meat for dinner today."
Tang Yunzhe nodded quickly.
"Have you looked for it?" This is Gu Chen who also came down from upstairs.
Meng Yuan shrugged: "There is no one in Zhang Muyu's house, and he couldn't find it nearby, and he stole some food in the end, so he probably won't show up for the time being."
"I can't help it. Every village has paths and storage rooms that only its own people know. I guess he's hiding." Ye Jingcheng set the tableware, "Let's have breakfast first, and I'll ask after I enter the village."
Several people sat around the table.
"It's a pity, I think the child is suspicious." Gu Chen picked up a piece of shrimp dumpling for Zhuang Qian, and ate one for himself. These were packed from the big restaurant at that time, and they were very delicious when they were warmed up.
Meng Yuan nodded and said the same: "Xiao Xi, make a ball of light and throw it out."
Ye Xiwen seemed to understand a little bit, and quickly gathered a small golden light ball and threw it out. The dark black energy in Meng Yuan's hand rushed up and collided with each other. "Boom—" The two kinds of energy were devoured violently, shrinking smaller and smaller, turning into a golden and black twisted shape, shrunk twice, and suddenly exploded, emitting a dazzling light...Zhuang Qian quickly used a spell to put the Explosions are stuck in a radius.
"You see, the energies of light and dark elements are absolutely in conflict, but that kid named Zhang Muyu has dual elements." Meng Yuan pointed to the floor tiles that were broken into small pieces within the explosion range.
Yu Mengyao touched the emerald jade pendant on his chest: "Besides, when he mentioned his parents, how should I put it, it was as if his tail had been stepped on, and he desperately wanted to fight back sharply, but in fact he was about to cry."
"Let's talk in the village."
By the time they packed up their things and went out, the light rain had stopped, and the trees, flowers and plants seemed to have been washed, with the artistic conception of a landscape painting.The small roads in the countryside are already a little muddy under the drizzle. Walking on the road, you can see the cemented walls outside the village from a distance in the drizzle, which is deep and shallow in the drizzle. It is hard to give this a fresh picture of the countryside after the rain. Added a bit of dignity.
Standing outside the wooden door of the village again, Tang Yunzhe shouted to the guards on the wall: "Hey, brother, we've been staying outside for one night, can you let us in?"
The person on the wall nodded: "Okay, I'll open the door right away."
The wooden door was hung up with a rope, and then tied up after it was closed. Behind the wooden door was a large iron door, which was unloaded from where it was pressed on.The heavy iron door was pulled open, and the wooden door was slowly lowered, set up on the ditch, and when it fell on the ground, it made a loud noise and splashed some muddy water.
The wooden door was a little wet, with muddy footprints on it. Someone had obviously entered and exited. Shallow water had accumulated in the ditch, and occasionally there would be a circle of ripples inside, and then some kind of creature was seen bringing up the sediment at the bottom of the pit. A piece of water is muddied, and then disappears into the turbidity.
"It should be loach, right?" Ye Jingcheng pulled his curious son to prevent him from sliding down.
Walking through the creaking wooden planks, you entered the village.The young guard came up quickly, with a warm smile on his face: "The village told me, I will take you to find him now."
The young man was wearing casual clothes and walking in front with rain boots on his feet. From time to time, he enthusiastically introduced the facilities in the village to them, which was not annoying.
"Are you a college student?" Meng Yuan smiled and chatted with the young man. It's not good to let him say it alone, isn't it?
The young man smiled shyly: "It's just a small city in a three-year school, and I'm worried about graduating and looking for a job. Don't you just go home on weekends and have a look when you're free? It's the end of the world, fortunately!"
"Indeed, you don't know, the city is in chaos." Yu Mengyao, who was not in the city at all, opened her mouth and patted her chest with lingering fear, as if she had thought of something terrible, and her beautiful face was filled with sadness .
The young man was stunned for a moment, and Tang Yunzhe patted him on the shoulder carelessly, "What's the use of studying well in university? Look, we don't need to look for a job now."
Just like this, the young man quickly became acquainted with Zhuang Qian and the others. His name is Zhang Shunnian, and he is one of the Shunzi generation in the village.Soon Zhang Shunnian revealed the basic situation of the village. In such a traditional and backward small village, the head of the village is actually the one with the greatest power, who is often only the direct descendant of the surname Zhang. At the same time, the direct descendants of the village are also very popular Respect, because only they can open ancestral halls to worship ancestors.The ancestral hall of Zhangjia Village is on the mountainside behind the back mountain.
"Worshiping the ancestors?" Zhuang Qian raised his eyebrows, he thought that young people didn't really believe in such things.
Zhang Shunnian's expression was a bit tangled and complicated: "I didn't believe it at first, but you see that the end of the world has arrived, and this ancestral hall is too weird..." As he spoke, a trace of piety appeared on his face involuntarily.
Tang Yunzhe leaned over curiously: "Strange? Tell me, brother!"
Zhang Shunnian's complexion changed, and he stopped talking suddenly: "It's nothing, it's just that every year when there is drought or some disaster, the temple will be opened for sacrifice, but it's a miracle, and I don't believe it."
If I ask him again, he refuses to say a word.
It's impossible for Zhuang Qian and the others to get to the bottom of it, otherwise the intention of the cliché would be too obvious.Just about to ask Zhang Muyu, Zhang Shunnian suddenly leaned into Tang Yunzhe's ear and asked in a low voice, "Brother Tang, did you use electric lights last night? I saw the lights on in your house from afar!" His voice With a hint of eagerness and envy, Zhangjiacun has been cut off from electricity since the end of the world. There are diesel generators in the village, but who is willing to use that little oil until the critical moment?
Although Zhang Shunnian's voice was quite low, everyone after the marrow washing and training could still hear it. No wonder he suddenly became so enthusiastic.
Tang Yunzhe pointed at Zhuang Qian proudly: "Have you seen him? Have you seen the space ability? He has a generator in his space!"
"Ah!" Zhang Shunnian glanced at Zhuang Qian enviously. There are more than a dozen spatial abilities in the village. Although they have no self-protection ability when they go on missions, they are always protected and given preferential treatment. He has long been envious of this ability. can.After thinking about it, Zhang Shunnian asked in amazement again: "Then how much oil do you burn every day for using electricity like this, it's hard to find oil."
Tang Yunzhe was even more proud: "Ours is a solar generator, it doesn't burn oil, and it was collected when passing through D city."
Just as Zhang Shunnian was about to ask again, he found that he had already arrived at the center of the village. There was a spacious courtyard house, where the village usually held business meetings and entertained guests, and the village head's house was next to the courtyard house.
"I'll go and tell the village chief first, you wait." Zhang Shunnian, a young man with poor routine skills, entered the gate of the courtyard with some regrets, leaving Zhuang Qian and others outside.
In the reception room, the village head is a man in his 50s, in good spirits, talking enthusiastically to and from Gu Chen, much smoother than Zhang Shunnian standing behind him.Zhuang Qian and the others looked at each other without saying a word. There was still an old man sitting in the room, who was the one who saw them yesterday.It is said that he is Zhang Shunnian's fourth uncle and is very respected in the village.
"Village chief, it might be impolite to ask. Do you know why Zhangjia Village is not lost?" Gu Chen went straight to the point after exchanging pleasantries for a while.
The village was stunned for a moment, but Fourth Uncle Zhang spoke directly, stroking his white beard with his old hand: "That's the ancestors bless us." He said it with certainty and absoluteness, and his tone couldn't help being proud, as if being sheltered was a thing. It's an honor.
Zhuang Qian felt helpless: "Then do you know why there are so many zombies on the highway?"
Uncle Zhang's tone was still the same as before, slowly, with affirmation: "You don't know, it was the ancestors who lured away all the monsters."
Gu Chen looked at the village head and found that his eyes also agreed.
Seeing that there was nothing to be asked from the higher-ups, Yu Mengyao asked softly: "You know there is a child outside the village named Zhang Muyu..."
Before the words were finished, the faces of the village chief and Uncle Zhang changed. Uncle Zhang's eyes were filled with disgust and disgust, and the village chief's eyes were filled with guilt and guilt.Fourth Uncle Zhang held his crutches and slammed the ground hard: "Their family has made God unhappy, this is punishment!"
The village head looked at everyone's suspicious eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, he is younger, and his family conditions are considered the best in the village. He has received anti-feudal education, so he is still a little embarrassed to treat a child like this.But he is too evil, the village chief thought, these people don't know, this is really an order from their ancestors!Thinking of this, the village chief coughed twice: "You guys don't know, but we have no choice but to order to punish their family." He pointed to the sky with a mysterious expression on his face.
Standing behind the village chief, Zhang Shunnian completely lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
Uncle Zhang took a breath, his cloudy eyes were full of disgust: "He is the broom star, the disaster star."
……
It was embarrassing for the topic to come to this point. Zhuang Qian and the others then rejected the village chief's request to change the generator, and delivered the food for the first three days.The village head seemed to be in a bad mood, so he didn't bother them too much. He only asked them to provide food in the future, and then hand it over to the village office.
Zhang Shunnian led Zhuang Qian and others to the residence with a strange expression on his face.
"Brother Zhang, is this true? Really..." Tang Yunzhe pointed to the sky hesitantly.
Zhang Shunnian sighed with a complicated expression, and shook his head: "I don't know, have you met Zhang Muyu? He is also to blame, but..." He sighed again, "Actually, this matter is a bit complicated. , but most of the people in the village are very traditional, and not many have gone to school, so don’t ask.”——
Day 49 God bless?
Soon, Zhang Shunnian led them to a small single-family courtyard. The old-fashioned courtyard was a bit dilapidated, but it could be seen that it had been refurbished, and the size was just right.
Zhang Shunnian asked them to wait in place, and shouted to a yard opposite: "Aunt Wang!! I brought someone here."
In the opposite yard is a newly built small building, four stories high, with white bricks on the walls, which is a popular house style in rural areas a few years ago.Soon, the iron door of the small building opposite was opened, and a fat woman in a calico apron came out while wiping her hands: "Here, come, why is it so early, I thought it would be noon? "
The woman named Aunt Wang had a simple but enthusiastic smile. Like most rural women, she was not well dressed and her skin was rough. Her black hair was simply tied up and tied with a black hair tie.Aunt Wang came out and patted Zhang Shunnian: "Nianzi, go to my house to drink quilt water, Haizi was thinking about you yesterday, hey, it would be great if Dajiang was still here."
As Aunt Wang said, her enthusiastic face was a little gloomy, but he quickly cheered up and greeted Zhuang Qian and the others: "Look at me, you are temporarily living in the village, children in big cities are just different. The skin is tender and tender, and it looks energetic. Come on, the house opposite is my house. It is usually vacant, and it is rented out when people come. Don’t look at the old house. The furniture inside is all newly built and used. They are all high-quality wood, I didn't say that, Xiaoyu's father's carpentry is..."
Originally, Aunt Wang led Zhuang Qian and others into the house while talking enthusiastically, but at this point, she seemed to have turned over some taboo, and suddenly closed her mouth, with panic and fear on her face.She clasped her rough hands together in a pose of worshiping Buddha, bowed to the sky twice, then put it down, and wiped her hands with her apron embarrassedly: "You see, I don't know much about talking, so let's go into the room, I It was cleaned yesterday."
Everyone looked at each other and followed into the house.
This is a two-story house. The light in the room is a little dark, but it is newly repaired inside. The floor is not a concrete floor, but tiles, and the walls are covered with light-colored wallpaper. There is no display in the hall. furniture.Going up the stairs, the ground is covered with floors. Although it looks like artificial wood and the quality is average, it brightens the color of the whole room. There are three rooms on the second floor. The wooden furniture inside looks of good quality, although the style Simple, but strong and durable.
"Look, this is the master bedroom. This room is for children. This room is usually empty. You can sleep with a few quilts. There is also a guest room on the first floor." Aunt Wang introduced the room, her eyes were moving The wall of the master bedroom is a little sad and sad, there are a few nails, there is nothing on it, but there are two squares on the white wallpaper, which are lighter.
Soon everyone returned to the living room. Zhuang Qian took out a large sofa and invited Aunt Wang to sit on it: "Aunt Wang, sit down."
Aunt Wang's eyes showed surprise and envy: "This is a spatial ability!"
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but I feel a space when I wake up." Zhuang Qian nodded, with a little joy and pride on her face.
"Spatial powers are good! Little boy is lucky." Aunt Wang rubbed the hem of her apron cautiously, and looked at the white leather sofa hesitantly, "I won't sit on this one, give me a bench Enough."
Yu Mengyao gently put her hands on Aunt Wang's shoulders, and gently pressed her on the sofa, with a little girl acting like a baby to her elders: "Aunt Wang, just sit down, we are guests, how can we let the master Make hard benches at home."
Aunt Wang continued to rub the change of her apron: "Oh, okay, sit here."
She watched Zhuang Qian take out a coffee table and a set of tea sets, and then started to make tea, she couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed, the kids in the city are so particular.
"Aunt Wang, we just want to ask you about the situation in the last days." Ye Jingcheng smiled softly, and it was easy for the elderly to have a good impression.
Aunt Wang nodded, and was just about to agree, when suddenly there was a "beep" sound in her pocket, Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, and took out an electronic watch from her apron pocket in embarrassment: "Ah, I'm going back to make It's time for dinner, why don't I come over in the afternoon." Aunt Wang said with some embarrassment.
Gu Chen put the poured tea in front of Aunt Wang: "Why don't you eat here again? We happen to be cooking too, and we have nothing to thank you for cleaning the house."
Aunt Wang quickly refused: "Hey, I still have two children waiting to eat at home, forget it."
Ye Xiwen gently tugged at the corner of Ye Jingcheng's clothes, looking expectantly.Ye Jingcheng patted his head: "Why don't you call the child over, Aunt Wang, and it will be very convenient to add two pairs of chopsticks."
"This...isn't that good?" Aunt Wang was still hesitant.
"What's wrong with that? You see, my son hasn't been with his peers for a long time, so it's good to let the children play!" Ye Jingcheng touched his son's crotch again, and Ye Xiwen nodded shyly.
Aunt Wang thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay then, shall I call the child first?"
"Why don't you sit down for a while, Aunt Wang, and call after the meal is ready. By the way, you can also tell us about the end times." Gu Chen said.
Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, and sat down. After all, there is always a shortage of food in the last days, and a meal is a meal. But in this case, she was too embarrassed to always refuse, so she had to stay.
Ye Jingcheng and Yu Mengyao went to cook, and Aunt Wang sat on the sofa and talked to the rest of the people. She was a little embarrassed at first, but she was originally a simple and kind rural woman, and with the eloquence of several people , and soon everyone chatted enthusiastically.
Aunt Wang's husband is surnamed Zhang. She married her in the early years and has been living here. She has three sons, the eldest son Zhang Shunjiang, the second son Zhang Shunhe, and the younger son Zhang Shunhai who was born later in life. Grandson Zhang Huayang is five years older.Originally, the family lived in poverty, but later the second son studied and made money, and life began to improve. Zhang Shunhe built a new house and took his parents to live with his younger brother. Zhang Shunjiang lived in the old house. can take care of each other.Unexpectedly, the end of the world will come as soon as it is said. The husband, Zhang Shunjiang, his wife and the second daughter-in-law have all turned into zombies, and the family suddenly becomes difficult. During the day, Zhang Shunhe goes out to join the adventure team or patrol to make ends meet. His house was vacant, and people who came here usually rented it out to subsidize their families.
Zhuang Qian also published some adventures in the last days, and Aunt Wang got acquainted with these young people immediately, she became less wary and became a lot closer.
At this time, Yu Mengyao and Ye Jingcheng were almost ready to cook the food. They put away the sofa and coffee table, put them on the big round table, and started to arrange the bowls and chopsticks. Aunt Wang went home to call the two children.
When Aunt Wang led the two children into the room, they smelled a strong smell of rice. The two children sniffed, swallowed, and their eyes became longing.But Aunt Wang told her before going out, so they just watched and didn't move.
When Aunt Wang looked at the table, she couldn't help but secretly startled. This table had beer-roasted chicken, a piece of braised fish, and salt and pepper pork ribs. The vegetables in the other dishes were very fresh, and there was plenty of room for the meat. Even all the bowls Added white rice.Aunt Wang became cautious all of a sudden, even before the end of the world, she had never eaten such a good dish, not to mention after the end of the world, their family did not eat meat or rice for a week.Aunt Wang pulled the two children back again and again: "This, this is not acceptable, Zhuang Qian, this is too extravagant, I'd better go home and make some noodles."
Aunt Wang wanted to turn around and leave, but the two children remained motionless, looking at Aunt Wang with eager and expectant eyes, as if they would cry if you don't feed them.Especially the little grandson Zhang Huayang, who had already put his hand in his mouth and gnawed.Aunt Wang got angry and twisted the child's back. The child's feet seemed to have roots, and he insisted on not moving. However, one of these two was born late, and the other was the only golden grandson. They usually don't know how expensive they are. It's not that they have been sharpened in the last days, and they are already noisy now.
Yu Mengyao was putting down the hair she had rolled up while cooking, and her black hair was flowing softly on her shoulders. She bent down slightly, showing a gentle smile: "Are you hungry, kid?"
"Auntie, I'm hungry." Zhang Shunhai hurriedly said loudly, staring at the chicken legs on the plate without moving.
"Then sit down and eat." Yu Mengyao greeted, the child cheered and ran to the table, climbed up the bench with difficulty, picked up the chopsticks and started to attack.Aunt Wang awkwardly stirred the apron with her hands, her face was a little anxious.
Yu Mengyao then pushed Aunt Wang to sit at the table: "You can eat it, if you don't eat it, it will be wasted. Besides, children are growing up, so it is always good to have supplementary nutrition."
Aunt Wang picked up the chopsticks in embarrassment, but still ate very little meat, and occasionally ate some vegetables, and looked embarrassed to accompany the rice, but she didn't stop the two children from eating so much that their faces were covered with tears. Oil, after all, the child hasn't eaten well for a long time, it's so pitiful.
After the meal, Aunt Wang grabbed the two children tightly, ignoring their pleading eyes, and prepared to drag them home.She bent down and thanked desperately: "I'm really sorry, I missed a meal..."
Zhuang Qian and Gu Chen looked at each other, Zhuang Qian put a bag of rice and a few live chickens in front of Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang was startled: "Son Zhuang Qian... what are you doing?"
Gu Chen followed Zhuang Qian, smiling: "Aunt Wang, we want to know more about the end times, this is just a little thank you."
"No, no, how did this happen, and this, this is nothing to say!" Aunt Wang gratefully let go of the child's hand and shook it desperately.
The hens had brightly colored feathers. They struggled a few times and made a cooing sound even though their feet were tied. The two children looked at the hens with longing eyes.We must know that spring is the time when the crops are green and yellow. The grain stored in winter has been used up, and new ones have not yet grown.These days, even in rural areas, rice is rarely stored. They just save enough for their own use, and sell the rest to improve their lives.Besides, after Aunt Wang's second son, Zhang Shunhe, got rich, she and her wife didn't do much farming and raising animals. They just grew some vegetables and ate them in the yard. They usually concentrated on taking care of their children and chatting with neighbors.
At this moment, the eyes of the two children who had only eaten meat once in a few days lit up instantly.
"Grandma knows!" Zhang Huayang bit his finger and shouted vaguely, "Grandma, I want to eat eggs!! I want to eat eggs!!"
Aunt Wang became anxious: "What nonsense! I just told these kids what I know!"
"I don't care, I don't care! I want to eat eggs!" With tears in his eyes, Zhang Huayang sat on the ground and howled dryly.
Aunt Wang was struggling with the hem of the apron desperately in embarrassment. She wanted to pull the child up and give him a hard lesson, but she was too embarrassed to do it in front of so many people.She glared at her grandson, then looked at her younger son: "Hai Zi, you pulled Yang Yang up, how embarrassing it is..."
Zhang Shunhai stared at his mother, and suddenly rolled his eyes: "Mom, what are you afraid of? Tell them that there will be no loss of meat. Our family is living the worst life in the village now!"
"This..." Aunt Wang was so anxious that she didn't know what to say.
Gu Chen looked at Aunt Wang: "I promise, nothing you said will come out of this house, you see we also want to see our family members soon, please do me a favor!"
Aunt Wang looked hesitantly at the five live chickens, one male, four females, and a bag of rice.This is when Zhang Huayang yelled even louder, with snot and tears streaming out: "Wow, Mom, Dad, I want to eat meat... Woohoo, I want to eat meat..."
Hearing her grandson mention the dead eldest son, Aunt Wang hesitated even more. She gritted her teeth, but she still ended up with the bag of rice: "Boy, you can't tell others what I said, and no one can say what the village chief said." of."
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Xiwen took the two children upstairs to play, the big dining table was put away again, and everyone sat on the sofa again.
"Our Zhangjia Village was not here in the past." Aunt Wang took a sip of tea and said nervously, "At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the village was still on the side of the back mountain. Later, when the road was demolished, all of them were moved. Came here."
"Originally, the village was at the foot of the mountain, and the ancestral hall was halfway up the mountain. According to our records, the ancestral hall has been built for hundreds of years, and the tablets inside are densely packed. In fact, no one knows when it was there. So even though the village was moved, But the ancestral hall halfway up the mountain is still untouched, and we usually climb over the mountain to worship ancestors, and the mountain is not high. We are used to doing farm work, and we are not tired, and we seem more sincere."
Aunt Wang organized the language: "Don't say it, this ancestral hall is alive. Usually, it is the Chinese New Year to worship the ancestors. Only the old people in the village can open the door to host. For example, I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. I can only stand outside the door. But outside the Chinese New Year In time, if there is any disaster, the village will open an ancestral hall to worship, not to mention it is quite effective, I remember one year of drought, there was no drop of water, we opened the ancestral hall and knelt for a day, and it rained the next day..." she recalled With a pious light on his face.
"Hey..." Aunt Wang sighed, "You must just want to ask why the village is not lost but the road is full of it! That is really the ancestors blessed us in the sky! Let me tell you, don't tell others, before the end of the world, summer In September, the rain kept falling, and it kept raining. Seeing that the farmer was about to die and the village was about to be flooded, we were ready to worship our ancestors."
"In the end, the ancestor actually appeared. He gave us a warning and stopped the rain. But we didn't pay attention at that time. You know, young children nowadays can't do this. Hey, the damage caused was really big. Later we were in the ancestral hall The offering of treasures was requested by the ancestors themselves, and the ancestors began to bless us."
"Look, the zombies on the road are actually surrounding the ancestral hall. Our ancestors lured all the zombies away, so that we will be safe." Aunt Wang's face showed a kind of extreme trust and gratitude for the unknown, and she was a little proud , just like the fourth uncle Zhang in the village.
……
Everyone was silent for a while. This sounds unbelievable, but everyone in the village is so convinced that there must be a reason behind it.
"Then, Aunt Wang, do you know Zhang Muyu?" Tang Yunzhe said, "Did you mention that 'Xiao Yu's father' refers to his father? He seems to be able to do carpentry." Tang Yunzhe thought of the place in the yard. A pile of well-preserved scrap wood and old patched wooden horses, as well as professional tools scattered all over the place...
Aunt Wang's expression changed instantly, her eyes opened wide: "This... who told you about this child?!"
"We met by ourselves, what's wrong with him?" Zhuang Qian asked curiously, Zhang Muyu seemed to be taboo in the village.
Aunt Wang shook her head with a pale face: "I really can't say this, this child is very pitiful, but you should stay away from him, no, no..." She said, with a trace of fear and disgust mixed with sympathy and regret on her face. Together, it seems very complicated.
"There's nothing you can't say, he's a disaster! He killed brother and father!!" A sharp voice shouted, and everyone turned their heads. Zhang Shunhai stood at the stairs with a look of resentment and disgust, while Behind him, Zhang Huayang also stood with a disgusted expression, and there were tears in his eyes.
Ye Xiwen, who was walking at the end, shrugged apologetically: "They are going to come down to use the toilet."——
