Plants vs. Zombies

Liu Dingjia closed his mouth, he felt choked. He originally thought that Daniya and his wife loved Kang Ji very much, but he didn't expect that he would run into trouble with Horton.

Liu Dingjia lowered his head, looking guilty and sad.

When Shae came over with the soup bowl, she saw such a pitiful little skinny chap.After she brought a bowl of soup to Man, she walked up to Liu Dingjia and put the steaming bowl of soup in front of him.

Liu Dingjia took the soup and looked up at Xue Yi standing in front of him, only to see her gesturing to him. Although he couldn't understand what she was going to say, he still politely said "thank you".

You're welcome.

Shae waved her hand, then went to Holden and sat down, "said" to him: Dad, don't be angry, Kang Ji is fine, not as thin as you think, he is very healthy, this is a Something to be happy about, Madam won't blame us.

Holden shook his head, and then warned his son: "Don't do such a thing again next time. If your mother finds out, you won't have dinner tonight. Thank you Aunt Sonny, she called Leave your mother."

"Understood, I promise there won't be a next time." Man replied in a low voice, and when she lowered her head, she didn't forget to stare at the "culprit" who sat next to him and caused him to be scolded.

Liu Dingjia didn't notice Man staring at him, he was sipping the hot soup in the bowl all the time: a bowl of vegetable soup, astringent, but it made people feel very warm in the stomach.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Liu Dingjia felt the coldness in his body recede, and he felt comfortable all over, no longer feeling hard-bang-bang-bang.

Seeing that the two had finished their soup, Xue Yi stood up and took the soup bowl from their hands to wash.Liu Dingjia, who had regained his energy, took a breath, exhaled the last breath of cold air in his chest, and then asked Holden what he wanted to know: "Uncle, I want to ask, will anyone go to a nearby big city recently?" He himself is now destitute, and if he wants to travel far in this kind of heavy snow day, he can only rely on others to hitch a ride.

Liu Dingjia's question made Holden vigilant. He narrowed his small eyes and asked Liu Dingjia cautiously and nervously, "Do you want to go to a big city?"

Liu Dingjia didn't expect Holden to be so nervous about his trip, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "Uncle, you know that my house doesn't have anything for the winter, and I don't have any money. But I found something at home yesterday, maybe I can Go out and sell some money to buy something for the winter, or Kang Ji will probably be..." In the end, his voice was so small that it was almost inaudible, and people unconsciously felt sympathy.

But Liu Dingjia's explanation made Holden feel strange.As far as he knew, in order to treat Kang Ji's dead father's disease, all the things that could be sold in his family had been sold out. If the land could be bought and sold, their little fields and houses would probably be sold as well.

"If you want to sell something, why don't you show it to me first, maybe I can use it, so that you don't have to travel a long way—even if the uncle's family doesn't need it, but there are so many people in the village, who might want to buy it?"

Holden obviously didn't think that there was anything in Kang Ji's house that needed to be sold in a big city, but when he saw Liu Dingjia's hesitation and reluctance to talk about it, he couldn't help getting angry: "You still worry that our neighbors will cheated on your stuff?"

"No, no, I didn't mean that." Liu Dingjia quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Uncle, don't get me wrong, people in the village don't need the things I want to sell, and they can only be sold in big cities, you and Aunt Danya Treat me so well, even if I doubt you, I will never doubt you—I hope Uncle Holden doesn't think so much of poor Kang Ji."

Holden nodded. In fact, he didn't want to imagine that Liu Dingjia would distrust them and other villagers.It can be said that he watched Kang Ji grow up. Although he is unsocial and introverted, his mind is quite simple and he rarely has suspicions about others.

"If you really need to sell something in a big city, it's best to wait until after winter. In the third month of spring, the village will organize the villagers to go to Anxina in the south. You can bring your things and go with us. .”

Horton said so.

Liu Dingjia looked at Holden and blinked.According to Linda, the world has 420 to 422 days in a year, which is divided evenly into four quarters of four months each.There are 25 days in each month, and No. 17 months are divided into rest seasons.The Sabbath season is only 22 days in all years except leap years, which have 20 days.And now it's only autumn and March, if you want to wait until spring and March, you have to spend 7 or 8 months in the middle, Liu Dingjia can't wait for such a long time.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter, Uncle Holden." Liu Dingjia said very embarrassedly, "I want to get rid of my things before winter."

"I'm afraid this is not possible. The distance between our village and Anxina is not short, and there is a large Erduo River in the middle, so it can only be crossed in March in spring and February in autumn." Horton got up and dialed the dial The fire in the fireplace, I threw a match into the fireplace, "My child, if you are worried about winter, you can rest assured, we will take good care of you, anyway, your father is our good friend."

Horton's words have reached this point, so naturally Liu Dingjia couldn't say anything more, so he had to bow his head and acquiesce to Horton's proposal.However, Xue Yi suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and gestured to him: Don't be depressed, Kang Ji, there are often mercenary groups passing by in the village, and the leader of one of them, Bernie, has a good relationship with me. If you must I can talk to Bernie when I go out, he's a great guy, and he loves to help people.

Xue Yi gestured to Liu Dingjia for a long time, but unfortunately the other party couldn't understand her gestures at all.Seeing Liu Dingjia's bewildered look, she stopped gesturing and frowned: she forgot, Kang Ji couldn't quite understand her sign language.

Man, however, saw her sister's gestures clearly, and said, "Shae, are you sure that big fellow Bernie is keen to help others, not just you?"

What's the meaning?Shae looked at her younger brother in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"If it's Bernie's mercenary group, it can help." Horton interjected, "Shae knows the head of a mercenary group, and she saved the life of this head named Bernie. If you have something If you want to sell it, you can ask Xue Yi to talk about it and see if you can follow them."

Hearing the word "mercenary regiment", Liu Dingjia couldn't help feeling a little excited. He didn't expect that there would be a mercenary regiment to "patronize" this poor village.After thinking for a while, Liu Dingjia asked Xue Yi: "Is the member of this mercenary group trustworthy?" After all, he was still afraid of being murdered for "the crime of carrying jade".

Bernie and his friends are wonderful and kind people.

Liu Dingjia's question made Xue Yi anxious, and quickly explained and proved for her friend.

"Although I don't like Bernie, as long as Shae's name is reported, he and his subordinates will never bully you."

Seeing Xue Yi's anxious look, Man giggled and gave a guarantee for Bernie and his mercenary group.

"According to my idea, you can give the things to Bernie to sell them as mortgages, and you don't have to risk crossing the river yourself. It's the breeding season for fire maw fish, and it's still very dangerous to cross the Elduo River. "Man told Liu Dingjia what he thought, and everyone in the village knew that only in March in spring and mid-February in autumn can they cross the river safely.

"No, I still have to sell these things by myself. They are special." Liu Dingjia shook his head. He didn't dare to transfer the things in the space to others for sale. What does the world of grudges look like, "So I will trouble you, Xue Yi."

Well, if you must go to Anthina yourself.

Shae nodded and "said": Bernie said that if the sun didn't rise on the last day of March, his mercenary group would come here.

"Shae said that if it was still snowing heavily on the 25th, Bernie's mercenary group would pass by our village, and she would tell you about it." Man was translating.

"Thank you." Liu Dingjia thanked him sincerely, and Xue Yi just waved to him, saying that there is no need to be polite to her.

The problem was solved, and Liu Dingjia breathed a sigh of relief.After resting at Holden's house for a while, Man got up and asked Liu Dingjia to go back with him. It turned out that the boy was afraid that Danya would be angry and beat him up when she saw him bring Kang Ji home. Compared with his father Holden, his mother's temper was worse. As scary as a powder keg.

Knowing why Man was so eager to urge him to go home, Liu Dingjia smiled.Seeing that the little ghost laughed at him, he waved his hands and pretended to be angry, and then walked out. Liu Dingjia didn't dare to let Man go first, and quickly chased after him: "Manman, wait for me, I didn't mean it just now." Poor guy limping After turning around, he was able to trot and catch up with the boy who was driven away by his anger.

"Xue, bring me the leather jacket. It's getting dark, so I'd better take Kangji back in person." Holden stood up and waved to his daughter Xueyi.

OKXue Yi quickly took the leather jacket and handed it to her father: Father must be careful on the road.

"Don't worry about me, I'm much stronger than Man." Putting on his leather jacket, Holden walked out.

In the end, Holden led Liu Dingjia back with a large bundle of dry firewood on his back, and Liu Dingjia also carried a little dry firewood on his back.Back home, after Holden left, Liu Dingjia went around the dilapidated house of his family.Probably because there are relatively few residents nearby, there is a stone fence around Kangji’s house, but unfortunately it is as dilapidated as the stone house. Liu Dingjia plans to repair the fence when he has time, maybe it can also prevent a wolf What.

But the top priority is to get the roof repaired.It's only autumn and March, and a thick layer of snow has already accumulated on the roof. Liu Dingjia really can't imagine what will happen to this simple and dilapidated house in winter.

However, Liu Dingjia has no idea how to repair it. He used to live in a brick house. Even in the south of the country, there is no heavy snow in the coldest winter. He really has no experience in how to prevent snow disasters.

"I should have asked Horton earlier."

Liu Dingjia looked at the thick snow on the roof with a headache, worrying about the future survival of the stone house, but one day when he came out of the space, the roof collapsed and crushed himself to death, that would be sad A reminder.
