Zhuang Qian of Rebirth in the End Times

"What's going on?" Zhuang Qian asked.

The child froze for a moment, but still stubbornly remained silent.Ye Xiwen walked to the wall, touched it a few times, and a square stone slab the size of a palm moved away: "Brother Zhuangqian, you can see the outside from here."

Gu Chen and Zhuang Qian walked over, Tang Yunzhe was still confronting the child.Zhuang Qian moved her eyes closer and saw the situation in the front hall. Ye Xiwen touched the brick next to it and opened another identical stone slab.Zhuang Qian and Gu Chen noticed that the zombies outside were still a little commotion, walking around in the ancestral hall from time to time, making low growls.Moving down the line of sight, the two jade pendants became ordinary again, with no abnormalities at all visible.

"This should be the position of the eyes of the statue. It can be seen from the outside, but there is no smell. There must be a formation." Gu Chen closed the stone slab again, and the wall became bare. "The child must have known it a long time ago." Use an affirmative tone.

Ye Xiwen nodded, a little dissatisfied, although Zhang Muyu had no obligation to tell them, but people are always partial.But soon Ye Xiwen showed a somewhat nasty smile: "It's not because of this that they confronted each other. Brother Yunzhe spanked the little brother's ass."

Zhang Muyu has been paying attention to their conversation, and when he heard this, he blushed, with embarrassment and resentment intertwined in his eyes, and guilt and guilt appeared from time to time.

"Pfft..." Zhuang Qian showed a happy smile and leaned against Gu Chen.No wonder Tang Yunzhe was far away from the child, as if the child would rush to punch and kick him if he took a step closer.

Seeing that Zhuang Qian and the two were fine, Tang Yunzhe also relaxed. He just took pictures of Zhang Muyu three times. If they knew about this window, they might be able to designate a safer strategy.Now seeing the smiles in the eyes of the other three, he stroked his hair embarrassingly: "Well, I just don't think children should panic."

"Okay, let's go back."

The stone gate leading to the ancestral hall was slowly lowered and closed again.Zhuang Qian scooped out some grain, enough for about a week, and put it on the ground.

Zhang Muyu stood far away, looking at him with tangled eyes, as if he wanted to come forward, but couldn't move.

"Anyway, thank you for leading the way, this is for you." Zhuang Qian pointed to the food on the ground, and waved to Zhang Muyu to remove the restriction on the ability.

Having regained the right to use the ability, Zhang Muyu did not try to attack again. He stared at Zhuang Qian firmly, took a small step forward, but soon stopped moving.

"Heh—" Zhuang Qian chuckled, the child was like a blank sheet of paper, simple and clear.

Gu Chen walked to the passage leading to the village, studied it, and estimated that this passage was made by the descendants of the people who left behind the inheritance. Although the craftsmanship is good, there is no trace of spiritual energy anymore: "Let's go." He left first Into the channel.

The light of the lighting lamp moved away and entered the passage, the room became darker, Zhang Muyu stood in the dark corner, watching the light getting smaller and smaller...

Zhuang Qian walked a few steps, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from behind, and then a small hand grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Wait a minute!"

The five of them returned to the room again, and Zhuang Qian scooped out a set of wooden sofas. The sofa was covered with fabric cushions, which was very comfortable.Zhang Muyu sank into the fabric cushion, with her legs dangling in the air, she gripped the cushion under her body nervously: "You are very powerful."

He took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind: "You are very powerful, I can't get close to the first-level zombies at all. I will give you the information you want, and I want those two jade pendants." After speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at the zombies. Zhuang Qian and Gu Chen tried their best to look calm, but their hands gripping the sofa cushions revealed their nervousness.

If it was someone else, maybe the talk would have collapsed, because nine out of ten people came with the purpose of attracting zombies to protect the treasures of the village, but to Zhuang Qian and the others, this was really nothing.However, Gu Chen still looked at Zhang Muyu with a smile: "At this point, even if we don't know the reason, we can leave, right?"

"That belonged to my family!" Zhang Muyu stood up suddenly, and because the sofa was a bit high, he staggered a bit, "That's the jade pendant of Mom and Dad!"

The child's eyes were red as he spoke, and his dark eyes became more and more moist and bright, but he didn't cry, but just looked at Gu Chen stubbornly.

Zhuang Qian pushed Gu Chen aside, he was still very curious about that shrine, even if he didn't own it, he still wanted to know the reason, out of curiosity and caution, don't leave the unknown behind.He smiled consolingly at the child, his soft light-colored thin lips curled up, looking very gentle: "Say it, we have agreed to this deal."

"Really?" Zhang Muyu asked timidly with some doubts.

Zhuang Qian nodded: "Really."

Zhang Muyu hesitated for a moment, and decided to take a gamble. At this point, if he didn't say anything, these people would be able to directly defeat the zombies and take the jade pendant, nothing could be worse than this.

"That's my father's jade pendant. He gave the white to his mother and the black to himself." He said slowly, and then gradually became fluent, "Later, when the village offered sacrifices, my father's black jade pendant suddenly lit up. They felt that the jade pendant It's a baby, so I insisted on handing over the jade pendant, and later my father gave the jade pendant to grandpa."

"A few days later, my grandma returned the jade pendant to my father in a panic. I heard from the villagers that my uncle had gone to the city, but he never showed up again. It was only later that I felt that the uncle was holding the jade pendant. Zombie. But no one knew about it at the time, so Dad took the jade pendant and went directly to the town, and later Dad turned into a zombie on the way back, and the villagers quickly took Dad..." Zhang Muyu's voice was aggrieved and angry, "As a result, the people who were scratched by my father turned into zombies. In the end, the villagers killed them too. At that time, some people said that the ancestors were very angry because my father took the jade pendant privately. Some people always said bad things about my mother."

"Later, even though the village head put the jade pendant in the ancestral hall, people in the village continued to turn into zombies, and they all went to worship outside the ancestral hall. So the villagers began to say that the anger of the ancestors had not subsided. I want my mother's jade pendant..." Zhang Muyu rubbed her eyes, "At that time, a bunch of people gathered at my house, and suddenly one of them turned into a zombie, and my mother suddenly burst out with a supernatural power, which was from the light system, and saved everyone. At that time, my mother I was injured, but I was not scratched by a zombie, but the villagers didn't help me at the time, they just snatched the jade pendant away like a monster in the house, I called the emergency call, but it was too late... Mom was hurt very heavy..."

The child raised his head, blinked, and his eyes were red: "After the white jade pendant was placed in the ancestral hall, no one has ever turned into a zombie, but they can't touch the jade pendant, there will be something to block them, only I can, but They didn't let me get close to the ancestral hall, and in the last days, they thought I was a disaster star and drove me out of the village..."

"Obviously it belongs to my house, and nothing will happen when they are put together! If they hadn't broken the balance at the beginning..." The child lowered his head, and Zhuang Qian saw dark spots appearing on the blue-black floor tiles. water stains.

Tang Yunzhe, who was sitting closest to Zhang Muyu, stretched out his hand a little helplessly, trying to touch the child's head, but was avoided. He raised his head stubbornly, with tears still hanging on his face, and his voice was trembling: "I think Scoop back Mom and Dad's stuff!"

Zhuang Qian nodded: "No problem."

Zhang Muyu's stretched back suddenly softened, and tears flowed out again. He roughly wiped the tears off his face with his hands, but in the next second, more tears flowed out uncontrollably...

Back mountain, exit.

At this time, the setting sun was about to disperse, and it was a little late in the spring, the whole sky was a kind of white-grey, only the western sky had a light red that hadn't bloomed yet.It started to rain lightly again, and the surrounding plants rustled softly in the rain.

Except for the child with an umbrella, everyone else was wearing raincoats.

"Then we will come again in two days." Gu Chen said to Zhang Muyu.

The child's eyes were still red, but his eyes softened a little. He lowered his head awkwardly: "Well, I've always been here."

"Then, tomorrow will be Qingming." Zhuang Qian scooped out a large piece of chocolate, put it in the palm of his hand, and spread it in front of Zhang Muyu, "Happy birthday."

Zhang Muyu was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand foolishly, slowly touched the chocolate, and then held it tightly in his hand.

"Mu Yu was born on the evening of Qingming Festival, when it was drizzling, you were born in this world, it is simply a gift from God to mother. '

"Remember...cough cough...you are mother's baby, not a disaster..."

……

Zhang Muyu stood on the spot holding an umbrella, watching the figures of Zhuang Qian and the others slowly disappear among the shadows of trees in the mountain, and then disappeared.

He remembered that in the tunnel just now, after Tang Yunzhe beat him, he wanted to fight back angrily, but the boy Ye Xiwen, who was only three years older than him, looked at him with a smile. When it came to contempt and disdain, he remembered that Ye Xiwen raised his chin slightly and looked at him condescendingly: "Little brother, you are so naive, you can do nothing except resist and complain when you are caught. You must think you are very brave , and you are very upright, but you will not show weakness, you will not hide your emotions, and you will not see the facts clearly. You hate this ancestral hall, but without it, you will definitely not survive three days in the last days..."

Soon the boy named Ye Xiwen was stopped by the silly looking Tang Yunzhe, he tilted his head in dissatisfaction, and muttered softly: "Really, I'm so childish, so don't let me say it."

……

Zhang Muyu clenched the handle of the umbrella, her eyes became firmer, some things faded away, what was there, it was unreal to see in the misty rain and fog.

Sometimes, growth is such an instant thing.

When Zhuang Qian and the others returned to the gate of the village, it was getting darker. The gatekeeper on the wall was wearing a raincoat, but his face was still wet by the drizzle blown by the breeze.He put down the wooden door impatiently. These things are wet and dirty in rainy days, and people don't want to touch them.

Walking on the main road, Zhang Shunnian and a group of men came towards him, Zhang Shunnian called Zhuang Qian and the others: "Why did you go out in the afternoon and come back so late, didn't you have a day off?"

Zhuang Qian nodded to him, "We collect supplies."

"Why are you working so hard? Young people still have to combine work and rest." A middle-aged man next to Zhang Shunnian echoed carelessly, with pride and sympathy in his tone.

Immediately, people in the crowd shouted: "That's right, when can't the supplies be collected, look at us, we only go out once in three days."

"Fortunately, our ancestors bless us."

"That's right, I got a piece of land outside the village a few days ago, and I can harvest it then."

……

Their discussion was not malicious, but it naturally brought out a kind of pride. They were sheltered and blessed, so they could work harder than others.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Shunnian and his group, he returned to the small courtyard he rented temporarily.

"It's really slow for you guys to come back. I'll go and warm up the dishes." Yu Mengyao was drinking milk tea from a cup, and the room was filled with a strong fragrance. When she saw Zhuang Qian and the others coming back, she put the teacup on a small saucer and walked in. kitchen.

Meng Yuan also stood up from the sofa: "I'll show you my results. If you don't put them back too late, you may be suspected by the villagers." As he spoke, he opened the door of a guest room, and there was a voice from inside, "Woo Woo" sound.

Zhuang Qian raised her eyebrows: "Kidnapping?"

"Hmm." Meng Yuan admitted without hesitation, and led Zhuang Qian and Gu Chen into the room.

Tang Yunzhe threw himself on the sofa: "I'm so exhausted!"

Ye Jingcheng on the side completely ignored his behavior, and waved at Ye Xiwen: "Xiao Xi, come to Dad."

……

No matter where they are, there will always be some people who are idle and sneaky, even in a village like Zhangjia Village, which is favored by God.Zhang Hualong is such a person. He didn't go to school well when he was a child, and when he grew up, he ate his parents' money. He occasionally gambled and stole some things. The villagers didn't like him very much.

Zhang Hualong is struggling in the last days. Everyone in the village has basic food security, and if they participate in labor, they will get more.Fortunately, his parents didn't turn into zombies, so he still wandered around the village every day like before the end of the world, but the scope was smaller.A person like him may have met many women, but it is difficult to talk about a good marriage, so when he ran into a gentle beauty smiling at him on the road, his soul flew away. It is a pity that waiting for him When he recovered, he was kidnapped.

But such a person is not useless, at least he knows very clearly about the short and trivial matters of the parents, and he is even more unscrupulous.Under the coercion and temptation, he quickly said everything, even more detailed than what Zhang Muyu said, after all, Zhang Muyu was just a child.

Zhang Muyu's father, Zhang Shunwei, almost left the house when he separated from the family. He only picked up a pair of jade pendants that were said to be passed down from his ancestors but looked like street stalls.But later, Zhang Shunwei was good at woodwork, and he was able to get a wife. He was asking for some weaving every day, and then from time to time, someone would drive a car into Zhangjia Village to take away those simple baskets. I heard that she applied for some patents and made money A lot of money.In short, watching Zhang Shunwei get better and better, his sister-in-law and younger brother at home are very dissatisfied.

Later, his jade pendant lit up in the ancestral hall, and then the heavy rain stopped. Everyone in the village thought it was a treasure, which could keep them safe, so Zhang Shunwei's parents wanted to leave the jade pendant at the instigation of his eldest daughter-in-law, but Zhang Shunwei He was very angry, and gave the jade pendant to break the relationship with the family, but for the sake of face, no one in the village knew about it.Zhang Hualong knew because he and Zhang Shunwei's little brother hang out every day.

That's why he knew what happened later. Zhang Shunwei's parents gave jade to their youngest son, but he turned into a monster. When Zhang Hualong saw it with his own eyes, he was terrified and remained honest for a while.

Later, as Zhang Muyu said, people always subconsciously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and are more willing to deceive themselves and others into believing that the reason is less serious.So I don't know who started it, maybe it was Zhang Shunwei's sister-in-law, and then everyone pushed all the panic and unknowns on the Zhang family, and the things became more and more mysterious. Later, everything was closely related to the rumors. , and quite logical.So much so that at the beginning, only the old people in the village believed it, but later almost everyone believed it.

Zhang Hualong curled his lips in disdain: "What kind of gods bless you, cut it, only the idiots in the village believe it."

"It's a pity, maybe you will believe it after today." Meng Yuan put his hand on his forehead and erased his memory of today, "I woke up early on the road tomorrow morning, but I skipped a day..."
