Chapter 41 Sorry

In Shangxi Village.

It was in the evening, and all the men in the village who were working in the fields were walking home in twos and threes carrying hoes, and the aroma of rice was wafting from the kitchens of every household.

Old Li's family.

His eldest son Li Dazhong crossed the threshold, took a look at the house, and asked his wife, "Where's dad, he's not back yet?"

The eldest daughter-in-law nodded, feeling a little puzzled.

Yes, although my father-in-law likes to hang out with the old friends, it is usually time to go home at this time.

The second son, Li Dahou, followed his eldest brother in. Hearing what his elder brother and sister-in-law said, he said, "Leave some snacks for Dad, let's eat first!"

After a day of farm work, he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. !

Li Dazhong also nodded.

So, the eldest daughter-in-law set aside some dishes for her father-in-law alone, and the rest of the family and the three children at home had a hearty meal together.

After more than an hour, the two Li brothers couldn't sit still.

It's getting dark, why hasn't dad come back yet?

Li Dazhong was about to go find him, and Li Dahou nodded and followed his brother.

Their daughter-in-law did not stop them, looking at the deep night outside, with only the faint moonlight shining on the ground. The eldest daughter-in-law neatly lit the torch and handed it to her husband. The second daughter-in-law took one from the kitchen. knife.

We have to look for it along the road to the county at night, so we have to be careful.

The two Li brothers left with their family's expectations. They went out and walked along the road to the county in a decent manner.

Guessing where dad was delayed today, he must be on his way back, Li Dazhong thought to himself.

After Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing returned from their new house, Gu Shiqing followed Tang Jiang up the mountain to cut wood for his family, while Lin Mu used a sewing machine at home to make summer clothes for brother Xiao Le.

The weather is warm now, and summer is about to begin. Brother Xiaole is not growing very fast. However, Lin Mu found out his clothes from last year and compared them and still felt they were a bit too small. Even after wearing them for a year, he couldn't even wash them. It was a little thin, so I planned to make a few more sets for him.

Lin Mu chose white fine cotton and made two sets of undershirts and short-sleeved shorts for Brother Le to wear inside. They were cool and comfortable to wear to bed in the summer.

He also chose cheesecloth to make long-sleeved trousers to wear outside. The material was not that soft, but it was tough and would not scratch the skin.

Finally, I picked a piece of satin and made a small robe for the child. The light blue color is shimmering, perfect for traveling.

Lin Mu himself hasn't made clothes out of satin yet.

In the evening, Gu Shiqing came back. The three of them had dinner with Mr. Zhou, cleaned up, washed up and lay down comfortably on the bed.

Gu Shiqing kissed Lin Mu on the cheek. Lin Mu's face turned red as if he had applied rouge.

The more I look at my wife, the cuter she becomes!

However, they had been busy for a long time last night, so today they should let his wife rest and catch up on her sleep. Gu Shiqing felt a little regretful, but contentedly hugged Lin Mu and fell asleep.

"Help! Help!"

"Come quickly! Save my dad!"

Gu Shiqing was alert and woke up after just two shouts.

Sounds like it's nearby?

He sat up and was about to get out of bed. He turned around and saw that Lin Mu had also been woken up. He rubbed his eyes and asked drowsily what was wrong.

He felt pitiful and cute in his heart, so he comforted Lin Mu and lay down, "I'll go take a look, and you sleep well."

After saying that, he reached for a robe and put it on, and then opened the courtyard door with his usual machete.

Chapter 42 First

I hope...it's not a zombie, Gu Shiqing thought as he pushed open the courtyard door.

He had an ominous premonition in his heart, which was why he didn't want Lin Mu to follow.

When you open the courtyard door, you can see the firelight shining in the distance, and you can also see the figures of the villagers rushing there.

Gu Shiqing also followed.

As I approached the fire, seven or eight people surrounded me, all talking, "What should I do?"

"There's so much blood!"

"Call the doctor!"

"Where can I find it at night like this?"

"By the way, Dazhong, where did you meet Lao Litou?"

Gu Shiqing pushed aside the crowd, and saw a strong man carrying an old man on his back, and another holding a torch. They seemed to be two brothers.

Listening to the inquiries from people around him, Gu Shiqing quickly figured out the reason.

"What's wrong?" A pair of soft hands held Gu Shiqing's hand.

It's a forest tree!

Gu Shiqing had no choice but to ask, "Didn't I tell you to continue sleeping?"

"I can't sleep anywhere, I can't worry about you." Lin Mu said seriously.

Gu Shiqing felt sweet and hugged him sideways, showing a protective posture.

"Here comes the village chief!" The old village chief hurried over, taking the barefoot doctor from the next village with him.

"Quick, quick, quick! Put Lao Li's head down!"

The two brothers from the Li family borrowed a nearby house behind their father's back and laid Lao Li's head down on the bed.

Gu Shiqing followed Lin Mu in her arms.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Old Li Tou's appearance.

Just now, Lao Li was lying on his son's back. He only saw the old man's right arm hanging down softly and bleeding. He suspected that he might have been bitten by a zombie, but it was also possible that he was bitten by some wild beast on the way back. , and remained silent.

Now when I look at it...

the wounds on my back are glowing black.

Old Li Tou's complexion also began to turn blue, which was different from ordinary people's, nor did he look pale due to excessive blood loss.

Gu Shiqing sighed quietly in his heart. It seemed to be a zombie.

Just looking at it like this, he hasn't completely turned into a zombie yet.

The barefoot doctor also sighed and shook his head, "It can't be done."

The two Li brothers' eyes were red and they were about to rush to ask the doctor. The old village chief grabbed them and sent the barefoot doctor out.

Gu Shiqing quietly forced Lin Mu to stand in front of him and watch, thinking about how to tell the two Li brothers about this.

Seeing as this old man will completely turn into a zombie in a few hours, we can't let these people stand here all the time.

It seems that I can only use the excuse that madness can be transmitted to people, because I am afraid that my family will not be able to let it go.

Just as Gu Shiqing was about to speak, Old Li Tou made some movement.

His eyes opened, and they were dark and a little penetrating.

When he opened his mouth, a hoarse sound came out of his throat, one by one.

"Zhong...hou..." The two brothers from the Li family leaned in front of the bed, trying to hear what their father was saying.

"Lock me up. I was bitten and became crazy." Lao Litou suddenly seemed to feel better and struggled to say.

He was bitten by a patient and dragged around bleeding for so long, and finally returned home with no regrets.

I just can't let go of my family.

There is also Shangxi Village where I have been living.

A trace of blue slowly crept up Lao Litou's face.

His consciousness gradually faded.

"Loyalty, honesty," Lao Litou said through gritted teeth with the last bit of strength: "The county, the county is dangerous, be careful, be careful like me."

His mouth opened and closed, and finally he pursed his lips bit by bit.

Not moving anymore.

As if sleeping.

But the villagers surrounding the bed knew something.

The two brothers of the Li family couldn't help but threw themselves in front of Old Li, crying sadly. The tall man's back seemed to bend all of a sudden, and the children and wives couldn't help crying.

Even the villagers had red eyes.

Gu Shiqing sighed in the crowd and stretched out his arms to hug Lin Mu again.

This is the first one he has seen with his own eyes, and hopefully the last one.

Lin Mu reached out and held Gu Shiqing's hand tightly, feeling his powerful hand and feeling a little more at ease.

What I heard Gu Shiqing say in the past was far less moving than what I saw.

Old Li Tou is an old man in the village, and he still didn't agree with Shi Qing's suggestion this morning!

Unexpectedly, that night...

the people around me came forward to persuade her, and the crying gradually became smaller.

Therefore, a strange "ho ho" sound became more obvious.

The voice was very weak, but Gu Shiqing was very familiar with it.

not good!

His heart trembled!

Surrounding this medium-sized room, there are about ten people of various sizes.

The one who can make the same sound as a zombie...

must be Lao Litou!

Gu Shiqing's eyes fell on the blue-white face.

There has been no movement yet, but if he "woke up" again, I'm afraid...

Gu Shiqing looked at the sad people in the room and thought a little helplessly, I'm afraid he might have to be the villain himself.

"It's not an option to stay here all the time. It's better to follow the old man's wishes before he was alive. After all, the old man said that he was infected with madness." In

his opinion, cremation is the least worrying thing. After all, zombies have been burned in the past. Gray.

But people here are buried in burials, so they shouldn't be able to accept this.

According to the rules here, the burial will take several days. What is urgent now is to restrict movement and reduce contact with people.

Things are about to change, we can't wait.

"What do you mean during your lifetime?"

"What do you mean?"

The two men from the Li family looked at each other in confusion.

It was the eldest daughter-in-law who hesitantly reminded, "My father-in-law asked him to be locked up!"

"Nonsense!" When Li Dahou heard this, he immediately roared and was about to rush forward and fight with Gu Shiqing.

"Who told you to say that! You're not from the village anymore!"

Li Dazhong came forward and pulled his brother, "Dahou!" But he also stared at Gu Shiqing with an unkind look.

Lin Mu was unhappy when he saw this.

Not to mention that what his Shi Qing said was right in the first place. This was obviously Grandpa Li's own intention!

Whatever he did, he looked at his family Shi Qing like an enemy.

He was about to stand up and chat with them, but Gu Shiqing pulled him and pointed him to look at the old village chief.

The old village chief rolled a tobacco leaf at some point, held it in his mouth, sighed, and exhaled a puff of swirling white smoke.

"Young man from the Li family, let him stay alone for two days before he is buried according to your father's wishes." The old village chief chose a compromise.

This fulfilled their brothers' filial piety and gave them a chance to see what Gu Shiqing said.

The old village chief also has a favorite in his heart! Not everyone listened to Gu Shiqing, nor did he take it seriously as he seemed.

After hearing this, Li Dahou's eyes were red and he wanted to argue. Li Dazhong nodded first, "Yes."

This honest farm man lowered his head.

Gu Shiqing didn't say anything anymore. Old Li Tou's relatives were already very sad. As for other things, they could slowly persuade them in a few days.

Gu Shiqing wanted them to go to the house that he had agreed to vacate with the old village chief, but the Li brothers refused, so they had no choice but to give up and stay in Old Li Tou's own house.

However, Gu Shiqing urged Wan to close the doors and windows, and even looked at their locks to make sure they were strong enough.

Of course, I also received a lot of blank looks.

Only Lin Mu followed him closely with concerned eyes.

Chapter 43 Try it

The chaos was temporarily resolved, and Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing also went back to catch up on their sleep.

When they got up during the day, Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing went to Li's house to inquire about the news.

There was still a group of people surrounding the door of Li's house.

A small hole was poked through the window paper of Lao Li Tou's house. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it looked like a familiar zombie to Gu Shiqing.

Gu Shiqing had seen a lot and didn't think anything of it, but the mood of the surrounding villagers was really ups and downs.

First he was startled by the fake corpse, and then he was horrified.

This, what is this?

The two brothers from the Li family were also really filial. The people in the village were frightened by the appearance of the zombies, and they even thought of bringing food and drink to their father.

It's a pity that the eating zombie inside didn't show any respect. Instead, it moved its legs mechanically to bite him, and even chased Li Dazhong out.

A feeling of danger hit his heart, and Li Dazhong slammed the door shut.

Now, not only him, but also the people in the village he saw began to believe in the madness.

"I think that young boy is right!"

"That's right! Look at Old Li Tou!"

"He scared us half to death so early this morning!"

"I thought he was alive again! Who knew... ..." Zeng Hanzi, who was next to Lao Li on the left, shook his head, with a hint of haze in his eyes, as if he didn't want to recall what he saw in the morning.

"It's because of this that some doctors said this was a living dead."

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing had been listening silently. At this point, Gu Shiqing intervened.

Zeng Hanzi glanced at Gu Shiqing and sighed: "Wonderful, wonderful, isn't it a living dead?"

"It feels like alive and dead at the same time. In the end, the doctor is right."

For a while, everyone started talking.

Because he thought that it was Gu Shiqing who tried hard to lock Lao Litou in the house last night, otherwise what would happen if he came to visit and was bitten today?

Those who secretly scolded Gu Shiqing for being heartless silently shut their mouths.

Some asked with a shy face.

"Then what Old Li Tou said is true!" Aunt Liu's brother Liu Bufan asked.

Like his sister, he likes to gossip about people. He talked to others for a long time on the way back last night, and he didn't blush when he saw Gu Shiqing today.

At this time, he even came closer, staring at Gu Shiqing eagerly and asking questions.

Gu Shiqing did not answer the question, but asked him, "What are you referring to?"

Without waiting for his answer, he said meaningfully: "I don't know if there is any danger in the county."

"But... about being bitten and getting sick, "Gu Shiqing smiled and pointed to the door of Lao Litou's house, "Can you tell if you try it?"

"That's right, we all want to know too!"

He glanced at the villagers around him, "Everyone said so. No. "

Liu Bufan didn't cover up his voice on the way back last night. They were all from the village. Who didn't hear it all the way back?

Even if you don't hear it, you will know it if you talk around.

The Li brothers didn't say anything after last night, but he was the one who scolded him the most. Those who didn't know just thought that Old Li Tou was his biological father!

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing left early last night and didn't hear anything at all, but they couldn't bear it. In the morning, Aunt Liu was talking to someone else without looking at her, and Lin Mu happened to hear it.

Lin Mu was furious. Aunt Liu told her before that he ignored her, but now why did she involve Gu Shiqing?

Gu Shiqing saw the depressed look on his face and realized it.

He was not a saint either, so humiliating Liu Bufan in public was just a small lesson.

When Gu Shiqing said this, many people in the village burst into laughter.

There was also a couple of comments about Gu Shiqing last night, and they thought it was too funny that Liu Bufan was scolding someone before and now he was so shy.

After being stabbed by Gu Shiqing's words, Liu Bufan looked gloomy and stared at Gu Shiqing hatefully, but there was no one around to help him, so he had to walk away in despair.

Gu Shiqing took the opportunity to emphasize the horror of madness. Everyone had seen the appearance of the living dead and became somewhat convinced.

In any case, people in the village don't have much savings. If you accidentally get sick, you won't be able to afford a doctor, so you'd better be careful.

The family has fields and land, enough to eat and drink, and it is soon time to harvest wheat. Everyone is safe and sound, those who work in the fields, those who cook, and those who cook, and the children are also detained and playing in the village.

It only lasted three days in such a stable manner.

Early in the morning, a woman's scream pierced her eardrums!

"Living dead! Living dead!"

Yes, people went to Li's house day by day to see Old Li Tou, looking at the messy bed and cabinets, as well as the bite marks, and the name of the living dead was also mentioned According to legend, people in the village accepted it well, and some even enthusiastically wanted to change the locks on their house doors to stronger ones, for fear that the contents inside would come out.

Others wanted to bury him in the ground quickly.

Some people also suggested that if you don't know what to do if you escape from being buried in the soil, you might as well lock it up and watch it!

Things have remained at a stalemate.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing were looking at Lin Mu's farmland. Lin Mu had been busy the past few days, but today they were very happy to see that the crops in the field were growing well.

Hearing the scream, the two looked at each other and ran towards the source of the sound.

On the way, Lin Mu tacitly blocked Gu Shiqing, and Gu Shiqing took the opportunity to take out a long wooden stick from the space.

This was a tool that he and Lin Mu had sharpened before to prepare for dealing with zombies. He whittled it into shape, and Lin Mu polished it smooth. It would not irritate the hand, was lighter than a knife, and could be used by anyone.

During this time, he also taught Lin Mu some basic moves. Lin Mu was stronger than ordinary brothers and learned quickly. Now he has no problem playing with this wooden stick.

The two walked to the entrance of the village and saw a zombie running after Aunt Liu, still two or three meters away from her, followed by two zombies not far or close behind. There were also a few men on both sides, but they all came hesitantly. Walk away, not daring to come forward.

How does this work?

Not to mention Gu Shiqing, who was used to seeing zombies, Lin Mu frowned in disapproval.

This thing is terrifying, but we can't just look at it without dealing with it!

He didn't like Aunt Liu, but he wouldn't watch her being caught up.

Gu Shiqing shouted to everyone around him, "Watch it!"

He ran forward, took a wooden stick, and gently and deftly hit the zombie on the back of the head with a "bang" sound.

The zombie paused and fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.

There was still a "ho ho" sound coming from his throat, and his hands and feet were moving, but he was hit in the back of his head and couldn't stand up for a while.

"Okay!" Lin Mu couldn't help but applaud.

When Shi Qing taught him, it was simple and easy to understand, but in actual combat, he looked very powerful!

He is eager to try it!

"Come on!" Gu Shiqing looked at the men next to him, "Help me!"

The men moved forward carefully.

Tang Jiang happened to run over when he heard the sound. When he saw this, he immediately helped Gu Shiqing grab the zombie's arms and drag it on the ground.

"Send him to the room prepared by the village chief." Gu Shiqing pointed the direction to Tang Jiang.

Lin Mu walked up to Gu Shiqing and took aim at the two remaining zombies.

He looked at Gu Shiqing eagerly, and Gu Shiqing saw his consciousness and smiled, "You try? Don't be afraid, I'm behind."

Lin Mu nodded quickly, fearing that he wouldn't want to.

He held the wooden stick in his hand and looked at the strange zombies in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... Lin Mu thought silently in his heart.

You can do it!

If you... can't become a burden to him in the future!

Lin Mu quietly approached the zombie at the front, looking for the angle with his eyes and counting in his mind, "One, two, three!"

There was a "bang"!

Hit!

A smile broke out on Lin Mu's face.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 44 Negotiation

Lin Mu followed suit and defeated another zombie.

"Shi Qing!" He turned around and rushed towards Gu Shiqing excitedly.

Gu Shiqing smiled and rushed up to Lin Mu, hugged him tightly, and touched his head, "Great job!"

Lin Mu smiled with bright eyes.

The first time you beat zombies, you succeeded!

He leaned into Gu Shiqing's ear mischievously and said, "Thank you sir for teaching me well!"

Gu Shiqing felt a gentle warm air tickling his ears, and when he saw Lin Mu's smart smile, his heart moved. .

At this time, Tang Jiang came over and interrupted the throbbing in Gu Shiqing's heart.

"Draw these away too?" He pointed to the other two zombies lying on the ground.

"Yeah." Gu Shiqing nodded.

Brother Zhi ran after Tang Jiang, grabbed Lin Mu, and praised him excitedly, "Mumu! You are so awesome!"

He pulled Lin Mu and chattered something, and Lin Mu responded with a smile.

Gu Shiqing saw Lin Mu chatting happily and ignored him. He roughly grabbed the legs of the other two zombies with each hand and dragged them on the ground.

After a person turned into a zombie, he lost weight for some reason. Gu Shiqing didn't feel tired despite dragging on.

Three of the men standing on both sides came forward, looking a little scared. One of them stretched out his hand hesitantly, "I, let me do it."

It was a good thing to overcome fear, so Gu Shiqing put his left hand on his hand. The zombie calf was handed to him.

The man stretched out his hand to hold it and slowly followed Gu Shiqing and the others.

Lin Mu glanced this way while talking to Zhi Geer, and also dragged Zhi Geer to follow him.

Brother Zhi was bolder than those men. He bent down and looked at the zombies on the ground curiously, and wanted to reach out and touch them.

Lin Mu grabbed him and said, "Dirty."

He looked disgusted.

How can a lively little brother like Zhizhi touch this? If you meet him in the future, I will do it.

Lin Mu made silent calculations in his heart.

As we dragged along, more and more people gathered to watch behind us.

"Those are the living dead!"

"Why are there suddenly three more people! Where did they come from?"

"You don't know this!" Aunt Liu said with a proud look on her face.

"This is from outside the village! I don't know where he came from!"

"How wonderful is this!" Someone in the village suggested it to the husband who had some foresight.

"What?" Aunt Liu was still confused.

The husband, who looked about thirty, came out to watch the fun and took his five-year-old brother with him. At this time, he frowned and said, "The living dead can come here so easily. How are we going to go out in the future?

" With a bit of envy on his face, he said, "Not everyone can be like Mr. Gu."

This Mr. Wu has a cheerful personality and is a bit competitive. Just watching the scene of Lin Mu fighting zombies, he felt a sense of admiration in his heart. .

Look at him, if only he could hit with a "snap" like Lin Mu!

He needs to study hard!

"Yes, yes! He's not a bad man! He's capable!"

"I hope they can find something."

Aunt Liu looked at the husbands and aunts around them and praised Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing in response, without saying anything, but She was secretly anxious.

Because she knew that what Mr. Wu said was absolutely right. What if the living dead randomly ran into the village?

On the other side, Gu Shiqing and others were also talking about this matter.

The two houses vacated by the old village chief are two miscellaneous houses next to the village ancestral hall. They are not big, but they have thick earth walls and are very strong.

The ordinary zombies here are not as strong as what Gu Shiqing was familiar with before, and they don't have any special powers. Two or three men can definitely deal with one of them.

It seems that this house only has a small window and the door is also a thick wooden door. It is feasible to tie up these zombies and lock them inside.

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang summoned the men from before, and they all worked together. They first found a few rags and stuffed them into the zombie's mouth, and then imitated Gu Shiqing's example and tied the zombie's legs and arms together while it was kneeling.

The bones of zombies also seem to have lost the elasticity of human bones. When they are bent, they make a "creep" sound and feel very brittle, but even if they continue, it is really strange.

What exactly are the living dead?

This sound is really terrifying!

The few men who came out to have sex with Gu Shiqing were already considered bold, but they still felt like the hair on their backs stood on end and felt uneasy in their hearts.

Gu Shiqing was the only one who commanded them calmly without changing his expression.

They all admired him for a moment, this man was really not to be underestimated!

So, when the old village chief arrived, they all kept praising Gu Shiqing, and Gu Shiqing was embarrassed to hear it.

Why does this make him the hope of the whole village?

No! He didn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility, he just wanted to live comfortably with Lin Mu's children.

Lin Mu puffed up his chest and looked proud. Gu Shiqing reached out and scratched his palm, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I'm not what they say."

Some of the men may have read too many words. , actually guessed that he was a hidden martial arts master, and quietly glanced over, pretending that Gu Shiqing didn't see him.

"No," Lin Mu retorted seriously, "Shi Qing is so powerful in my heart!"

Gu Shiqing and Gu Shiqing turned their heads silently, their ears burning.

Lin Mu didn't hear Gu Shiqing's answer and turned to look at him.

Hey, is Shi Qing very hot? Lin Mu was wondering, why were his ears so red?

After hearing what those men said, the old village chief came over and patted Gu Shiqing on the shoulder with a smile, "Good job, young man Qing!"

Gu Shiqing smiled and said nothing.

While talking, they continued to drag the three zombies into the house and locked the door.

One of the men named Wu, who was Mr. Wu's husband, volunteered: "I'll ask my family to come and check on me from time to time."

Tang Jiang was bold and cautious, so he suggested at this time, "Just send people over in turn. The trouble is not This."

Hearing him say this, the surrounding villagers looked over.

"The trouble is what to do in the future?"

"We men are fine, that is, the husband, wife, and elders at home." He looked around at the people around him and asked sincerely: "How will they deal with the living dead if they encounter them in the village?"

Gu Shiqing hit the vital point of the living dead. He will be more confident in hitting the back of the head in the future than before. He knows that he has no power to restrain a chicken. Even if you know it, you may not be able to hit it!

As soon as Tang Jiang said this, many people fell silent.

Yes, they all have wives and children at home. What Tang Hanzi said makes sense.

"Why don't our village build a wall outside?" The man Wu just said immediately.

Obviously, he had just thought about this problem and had thought of a way to deal with it.

"Not bad, not bad." Someone echoed.

"Indeed, this method is good!"

"But now we are about to harvest the wheat, where can we find the time to do this?" Some people were dissatisfied and complained.

"Then don't cry if your baby is bitten!" Everyone yelled at him.

"Yeah, just like the one inside." He pointed to the room.

The man looked stern and stopped talking.

A group of people were noisily discussing how to cultivate, and who was doing what? When will we do it? Wait, you say it and I say it.

Gu Shiqing endured his impatience, and Lin Mu gently squeezed his hand, as if to comfort him.

His heart suddenly calmed down.

At this time, the old village chief, who had been silent until now, spoke.

"Ahem, cough." He cleared his throat, "We old men will discuss this matter when we go back."

"Don't be anxious, everyone. Go back and have dinner early."

"After dinner, we are still on the ground in front of the ancestral hall. I Let's talk about what to do."

The old village chief's words still had some weight. Everyone remained silent and left one by one.

"Hey! Go back and tell those who don't know!" the old village chief shouted as he watched the villagers leave.

Lin Mu also went back with Gu Shiqing.

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels for reading!

Chapter 45 Building a Wall

Lin Mu thought he had to go to the ancestral hall early, so he simply made an appointment with Zhi Geer and Tang Jiang to have dinner at his house.

As soon as Brother Zhi came in, he hugged Brother Xiaole and played in the yard, giving him a good kiss. He has been busy these days and hasn't seen Brother Xiaole for a long time.

Brother Zhi rubbed his face against the soft flesh on Brother Xiaole's cheek, and narrowed his eyes happily.

Brother Xiao Le also grinned.

Lin Mu laughed, walked over and pointed his finger on Zhi Ge's forehead, "Stop playing, come and eat!"

Mr. Zhou had already prepared the meal.

Brother Zhi hugged Brother Xiaole without letting go, and entered the house with Lin Mu.

The six of them had dinner and took a walk to the ancestral hall.

Mr. Zhou was cleaning up the dishes at home, while Brother Zhi was holding Brother Xiaole and talking and laughing with Lin Mu. Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang followed silently behind him.

When we arrived at the open space in front of the ancestral hall, many villagers were already waiting, talking in twos and threes, nothing more than about the living dead, especially those who saw Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing fighting zombies. The sky is full of excitement.

Gu Shiqing's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat. Lin Mu felt embarrassed when he heard this. How could he be so powerful?

Fortunately, after a while, the old village chief came.

He circled around a few times and counted the heads, and then asked his son to knock the gong he brought with him a few times.

The clanging sound attracted everyone's attention, and they all became quiet for a while, and more people came one after another.

The sun was gradually setting, and the old village chief estimated that the crowd was about to arrive, so he walked out of the crowd and walked to the front.

He cleared his throat and said, "You all know why I called everyone here today."

Everyone in the village standing in the front row nodded.

The old village chief continued: "We old men have discussed this matter and plan to build a wall to surround the village."

"Build a wall? How to build it?"

The crowd immediately started shouting.

"Everyone listen to me," the old village chief stretched out his hand to signal silence. "As for us, it's too difficult to get some bricks and tiles now, so we can use wood to repair it."

"Chop it into a long piece of wood and stick it in the ground. Every household will Take some ropes and tie them together in a circle.

"It just so happens that there is a bamboo forest on the mountain. Cut some bamboo and stick it in the soil."

"Ah? Can this be blocked?" Someone asked immediately.

"It's definitely impossible to block them with these, but the living dead are not very smart. It's always better for us to patrol around."

"What do you think?" Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing whispered.

Gu Shiqing shook his head.

"I don't think it's possible either." Lin Mu felt that if he tried to stop the living dead with just a few pieces of wood, he might not be able to dream again.

But Tang Jiang said, "There is nothing we can do now, we can only try."

Gu Shiqing also felt the same, this was definitely useless, at most it was just an extra layer of unreliable barrier.

But where can I find bricks and tiles that can surround most of the village now?

The only option was to rely on the mountain and use the wood on the west mountain. Fortunately, this ordinary zombie was stupid and stupid. It only knew how to go straight and stiffly and would not avoid traps, otherwise it would definitely fail.

It just depends on how to allocate tasks.

Sure enough, the old village chief then talked about who would do the repairs and how, etc., "Let's take responsibility for one section per household, and follow me one by one to get the rope to measure."

"How about that?" The elderly and children at home The ones who are young and strong and have little labor are shouting.

"We have an old family, a young one, and I am the only one who works, and I have to go to the fields to farm. How can I find the time to do this!" A good man looked aggrieved.

"Then your family will move out!" The old village chief scowled.

These old guys thought about it for a long time, and even took a rope and bent down to measure the length of the place.

This scares the villagers who were eager to raise objections into silence.

Gu Shiqing watched from the side. This old man was quite capable of using a tiger skin as a banner. It was also the people here who regarded fields and land as very important, so they became honest after being threatened.

Lin Mu tugged on Gu Shiqing's sleeve, "I'll help you, don't let me rest!"

He had a small family, so only the two of them could do this. He was afraid that Gu Shiqing would let him rest, and he would have to bear everything by himself. .

"Okay, okay," Gu Shiqing agreed with a smile. His wife felt sorry for him and it was too late for him to be happy! Seeing that everyone agreed, the old village chief slapped him and gave him a sweet date. "Of course, the number of people in each household is different. We have taken this into consideration when calculating the length. Those

with fewer people will also lighten the burden as appropriate."

Said that the effect was very obvious, and some people immediately praised it excitedly.

The old village chief also squinted his eyes and looked at the half of the sun left. "Let's go, it's getting late. Let's settle this matter today."

He himself and several respected elders in the village The man walked in front, and the villagers followed behind him while chatting.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing followed closely.

About half an hour later, it was their turn.

"Come on, young boy, you go from here to here." The old village chief gestured with the rope.

At a glance, Gu Shiqing saw that it must be more than two hundred meters away, at least fifty meters further than the previous house.

The old village chief smiled and said to him and Lin Mu: "You two are both capable, and you have three houses, which are more than others."

Okay, Gu Shiqing frowned and said nothing.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing agreed and nodded.

The third uncle next to him who knew the words wrote it down in a booklet he was holding.

The old village chief smiled and praised them a few times.

After the distribution was completed, Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing went back with brother Xiaole in their arms. Brother Zhi and his family needed to build shorter walls than Lin Mu's house, so it was convenient for them to be connected together.

The four of them went home together and started working on it the next day. They were all veterans at this job, even Brother Zhi had experience.

Unlike other villagers who were busy and messed up, Gu Shiqing had previously cut wood in his space and could use it, but he still went up the mountain with Tang Jiang honestly.

The section of wall that Lin Mu's family was responsible for was only a young man named Gu Shiqing, so he was supposed to be slower.

However, his family does not need to farm or cook. The two Li brothers and Mr. Zhou have taken care of it. They only need to concentrate on chopping wood and inserting it into the ground. Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing are familiar with it, so naturally they Made it fast and nice.

The section he was responsible for was tightly inserted, unlike some people who were lazy. The gap was so big that two or three men could get through it without any problem!

"What's the purpose of building this?" Lin Mu looked at the wooden wall in front of him in confusion. No, it should be a wooden railing.

If he remembered correctly, this belonged to Aunt Liu's house. Is that what her old man and son were busy with?

"Let's go," Gu Shiqing pulled him, "What can I do if they don't want to work hard."

The railings of their house are finished!

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing walked back easily.

There is a lively scene in Shangxi Village, and even if you are not happy, you are still busy.

Long wooden railings surround most of Shangxi Village, and there are still a few old men walking around spontaneously chatting every day.

These old guys just took it for a walk!

The scene in the county is completely different.

The streets were in a state of depression, with no shops open for business and only sporadic zombies wandering around.

Teams of government officials were patrolling everywhere, and zombies were constantly surrounding people in the house calling for help. They were really exhausted trying to save this one and that one.

The most important thing is that there is almost no room for these living dead in the prison.

"Dad, what are you going to eat today?"

Mr. Wu, who works in a tooth shop on the street, carefully bought a small bag of cornmeal from the shady rice and grain shop. When he came back and faced the expectant eyes of his little brother at home, he was about to wipe out a handful of cornmeal. Tears of bitterness.

He earned money by his sharp tongue in Yaxing, rented two small houses with a small yard, and lived with his family of three. He worked diligently to save money to buy a house in the county, and his life was not bad.

Who knows what kind of living dead he encountered, but he didn't dare to go out these days except to buy some food and chews, so he had no income.

Damn it, rice and noodles are getting more and more expensive, and now a small bag of cornmeal, enough for them to eat for a day, is worth his day's wages!

Seeing that the family's money is getting less and less, sitting on nothing, what's the point of going on like this!

He closed his eyes and touched his little brother's slim face, "Hey...it's no use, dad."

His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu's eyes turned red, "Master, please don't say that, we two But he's pointing at you!"

Boss Wu smiled bitterly and shook his head. A living dead suddenly appeared on the street like this. Apart from shops like Miliangxing, how many shops would dare to open their doors?

Where do any of them have business?

Alas...a long sigh.

"Master," his wife, Mrs. Wu, grabbed him, "How about we go back to the village?"

"The village?" Boss Wu was a little surprised.

"Yes, at least there is land to grow and enough food to eat!" Mrs. Wu said.

"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a famine in the county." Mrs. Wu was almost in tears. She was not afraid of going hungry herself, but she was afraid of being starved.

"Let's go! Let's leave immediately!" Boss Wu agreed.

The author has something to say:

The computer is ready hehe!

Happy^_^

Chapter 46 Defection

Everyone, Mr. Wu.

After Boss Wu finished speaking, he immediately started making arrangements.

His family had a simple cart, pulled by a donkey. Boss Wu asked Madam Wu to pack the clothes and shoes for the family of three. He took the important items such as the money box and other items, packed them tightly, and went to the kitchen. Pour all the remaining rice and noodles into the cloth bag, and put the vegetables and other things in separate bags.

This is their family's ration for a few days. From now on, they will have to work on their own.

Fortunately, his family has a lot of land, and he has a harmonious relationship with his younger brother Wu Laoer. Although he comes to the county, the two families often have contact with each other.

After everything was packed, Mr. Wu asked his wife, Mrs. Wu, to sit in the donkey cart with her five-year-old little Tuantuan, and he sat at the front. The donkey cart was not big, and with all these things in it, the three of them sat crowded together. .

But Tuantuan was very well-behaved and didn't cry at all.

"You guys just wait, I'll go out and take a look." Boss Wu said softly.

In the past few days, they had been careful about what they said and done, for fear of making any noise and attracting the living dead.

Boss Wu quietly opened a crack in the door and squinted his eyes to look around, but there was no movement on the left.

On the right, there were five or six houses separated on the right. Three tall men were coming out of the door, holding long wooden sticks in their hands as if they were going to beat the two living dead surrounding the door.

It seems that they got impatient at home and came out to fight, but they are tall and powerful, so they have the ability to fight.

"Let's go!" Boss Wu retracted his head and said to his wife and child.

It happened to be busy there, so I didn't notice their house.

He opened the door and carefully got into the donkey cart.

"Tap tap tap tap" the donkey cart headed towards Shangxi Village.

The nearby zombies were attracted by the sound, but soon the sound of the three men attacking the zombies covered up the sound of the donkey cart.

The zombies slowly gathered around there.

The donkey cart passed through the small alley where he lived and walked onto the street. Boss Wu wiped his sweat and said to the back, "Sit tight!" He waved his whip vigorously and hurried away, and the zombies who followed him were slowly left behind. later.

Boss Wu did not dare to take it lightly. He asked his wife to be more alert and continued on his way.

The same situation occurs in many places in the county. It is better for wealthy families, who have a strong family foundation. Even if they dare not go out and are trapped at home, they still spend a lot of time and alcohol, eat a lot of fish and meat, and some people think that the food is not fresh!

Ordinary people can't wait any longer. From the time they were frightened by the zombies and hid in their homes for more than ten days, many families finally couldn't wait any longer.

There is no way, people have to eat and drink!

In the past, you could earn money from working every day to buy food, but what about now? There was no income, but they had to spend money every day. Sometimes they even went out to buy rice in the morning and never came back.

As a result, many people like Mr. Wu walked out of their homes one after another. Some, like him, were originally from nearby villages, and they all thought about taking their whole family back to seek refuge with relatives and friends. Those who had no choice but to take refuge could only have three or five A group of guys picked up wooden sticks, machetes, etc. and pointed them at the living dead.

After all, they were all living people in the past. Many people couldn't do anything, so they just beat and cut them without hurting their vital parts or twisted their arms.

Some people still dream and think that doctors can cure this crazy disease.

Some people are trembling and unable to take action, while others, especially those who were originally vicious, take to the water like a fish in water and gradually taste the benefits.

At first, they beat the living dead in front of someone's door and got some rice and noodles as a reward. Later, they gradually raised the price, and then some even rushed directly into other people's homes.

Chaos gradually arises.

County magistrate's office.

Magistrate Qian sat in the middle of the lobby.

After these days of hard work, he looked much haggard.

"Hey..." Magistrate Qian sighed and looked at the government officials standing in front of him.

The government officials who were originally in high spirits now have droopy eyebrows and some of their clothes are dusty.

These are all his people, but unfortunately some of them have become the living dead in the past few days.

"Let's divide the remaining people into four groups." Magistrate Qian said.

"Go in the four directions of east, west, north and south. Bring your parents and children to the county government office today, and bring everything you can."

The government officials below looked at each other, what are you doing?

"Hey! Why are you thinking so much? It's safer to be taken to the county government office than at home!" said a big brother in the government office.

Yes! The government officials looked at the high courtyard wall outside the county government office and woke up, so they discussed with each other and grouped the houses according to the direction of their homes.

"Remember! Only parents and children are allowed to come!" Magistrate Qian emphasized.

"Yes!" The government officials concentrated their attention and bowed in response. The answer was more energetic than at first. After all, County Magistrate Qian still had their best interests in mind.

Magistrate Qian walked away with a puff of his sleeves. When he arrived at the back hall, his expression became gloomy and defeated.

He had no choice but to do this.

I hope the punishment in the city will be lighter in the future, he smiled bitterly.

However, if the situation in their county is so bad, what will happen in the city?

He was confused and confused, and after a while he stood up and looked at the calm and steady head of the county again.

All this has nothing to do with Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing.

They were gathering at the entrance of the village to watch Boss Wu coming back from the county.

"Eh? Boss Wu, why are you back?" someone who knew Boss Wu asked.

Mr. Wu grew up in Shangxi Village. He has been to the county in the past few years and comes back often. Many people recognize him.

Mr. Wu was sitting on the donkey cart, looking at the people in a hurry, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Come on, come on! Wu Laoer is here!" someone in the crowd shouted sharply.

The people in the village gave way one after another.

"Second brother!" Boss Wu couldn't help but his eyes turned red when he saw his younger brother.

"Brother, my brother has come to join you! The county," Mr. Wu shook his head, "The county is really unsustainable." Thinking about the situation in the county, he couldn't help but feel weak in the knees.

Wu Laoer, Wu Fulang's husband, supported his brother.

"What's wrong? Brother, please speak slowly." There was an anxious look on his face.

His brother, Mr. Wu, had always had a plan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to work as a matchmaker in the dental shop in the county. How could he, a dirt-legged farmer in the countryside, beg him?

"It can't be because of the living dead, right?" Lin Mu raised his head and asked Gu Shiqing.

"Nine times out of ten."

Gu Shiqing stretched out his hand to hold Lin Mu from behind the crowd. Lin Mu struggled to break free, so he let him go.

"Let's also listen." Lin Mu instructed.

"I obey my husband's orders!" Gu Shiqing tilted his head and smiled.

"Don't make trouble! You're serious!"

Some of the villagers who were watching were also whispering, "No, it can't be because of that living dead!"

"I think it's possible. Didn't Lao Li catch it the last time he went to the county?"

"Shh, stop talking, Dazhong is here!" The person next to him stretched out his arm and pushed it away.

The man looked back at Li Dazhong's stern expression and closed his mouth.

Boss Wu heard it with keen ears, and said quickly: "It's because of the living dead!"

He stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and saw people on three levels inside and three outside, and started talking.

"It is said that someone in the county contracted madness a month ago, but no one took it seriously." He regretted.

"Who would have known that a few days ago, the streets seemed to be filled with people infected with madness, that is, the living dead."

"Ah? How can we live our lives?"

Someone stuck his head out and asked, there were two or three men here. You have to deal with a living dead to be tied up.

"I just can't survive!"

"I'm a middleman in the dental industry." Boss Wu introduced himself.

"The streets are full of living dead shops. Why are they open for business? No one comes!"

"With me," Mr. Wu shook his head helplessly, "I can't make any money, so I have to come back and join the second brother."

He grabbed hold of him. Wu Laoer's hands seemed to have a thousand words in his eyes.

"It's okay, brother," Wu Laoer comforted him, "Don't worry, as long as there is something to eat at home, your family will not be missing."

As he said that, he walked to the donkey cart and touched the little brother with a smile. Tuantuan's soft hair said, "Tuantuan, I am the second uncle, do you remember?"

Tuantuan shrank into Mrs. Wu's arms.

Mrs. Wu was anxious and pushed the child, "Tuan Tuan, call the second uncle quickly."

They came back this time to get a good deal from the second brother. This child must be sensible.

"Hello, second uncle." A small voice came from Mrs. Wu's arms.

Everyone is satisfied.

"What do you eat when there are no shops open?" someone asked. In the county, you can't just pick some wild vegetables and eat them as in the village. You can buy them in shops or on the street. He also has relatives in the county, so he knows very well. Woolen cloth!

"The rice and grain shop is still open, and vegetables are sold." Old Wu Dadao smiled awkwardly, "It's just expensive. The prices have been rising every day in the past few days. I really can't afford it." "

Oh~" The man thought in his mind A little disdainful, what did he think? It turned out that they were all poor people who couldn't even afford rice and noodles. No wonder they came back. His relatives were different. Their families were rich.

Boss Wu must have been bored at home these past few days, so he still answered questions from the villagers one by one without bothering him.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing quietly slipped away from behind the crowd.

"It seems that the situation in the county is not good." Lin Mu had sorrow in his eyes.

"Don't think about it, let's live our own lives." On the way back, Gu Shiqing saw no one around, gently hugged Lin Mu and stroked his back to comfort him.

"Yeah." Lin Mu was enveloped by Gu Shiqing's aura, feeling at ease and smiling.

Back home, Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing ate and washed as usual at night, and put Brother Le to sleep.

Gu Shiqing told Lin Mu not to think too much about the fighting in the county. He held him in his arms and softly hummed a song that Lin Mu didn't understand. He watched him fall asleep and sighed in his heart.

Let Mumu not think about that, but he couldn't help but think about what to do?

Gu Shiqing turned over slightly. Those imprisoned zombies were always a hidden danger. In the village, he had no way to decide whether to burn them.

What if we start with the county magistrate?

By convincing the county magistrate, the idea of ​​burning zombies can be implemented throughout the county, right?

The situation in the county is not good now, so he should be more confident in convincing the county magistrate.

However, Gu Shiqing turned around and looked at Lin Mu, who was cute even when he was asleep. Mu Mu would be worried if I went to the county.

The author has something to say:

Today, with the help of Boss Wu to talk about the county, Mumu and Lao Gu have a little less screen time, so don't dislike it!

Chapter 47 Daily life

It's July.

The sun is getting hotter, and it's really overwhelming at noon.

"You come up and have a rest too." Lin Mu carried brother Xiao Le onto the carriage, climbed up himself, and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Shiqing.

"Yeah." Gu Shiqing nodded and climbed up.

They came to the West Mountain today to dig for sweet roots. Sweet roots grow on the West Mountain and mature in summer. They have big dark green leaves on them and can grow to the height of a person. Only the edible rhizomes underground are white and as thick as the forearm. The sweet root overflows with sweet juice when you bite it. You can cut it into small pieces and chew it slowly. Brother Xiao Le and Lin Mu like it very much, but Gu Shiqing doesn't like it.

Isn't this sugar cane with a more delicate taste?

Gu Shiqing sat in the carriage and took a bite of a large piece of sweet root that he had just dug and washed.

Lin Mu is applying insect repellent to Little Le. There are many mosquitoes in summer, so you have to pay attention to Little Le's white and tender skin.

After applying the insect repellent, he took a piece of handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Gu Shiqing's forehead, but he didn't know that there were beads of sweat on his own forehead.

"Stop working so hard," Gu Shiqing put his sleeve on his forehead to stop him. He took the handkerchief and pressed the sweat on his forehead to gently wipe it away. Lin Mu's face quietly turned red.

Why is his wife still so shy after being married for so long? Gu Shiqing wonders. Is it because we don't get too close?

Brother Xiaole has long been used to strange things. Uncle Gu has no friends and loves to cling to his uncle. Unlike him, he has groups to play with.

"Shall we go back?" Lin Mu asked, holding a fan and shaking it.

The three of them have been stuck in the village for more than ten days. In the morning, they heard someone said that the sweet roots on Xishan Mountain were ripe, so they thought of taking Brother Xiao Le out to dig sweet roots to relax.

Now that I have been busy all morning, I have dug two large baskets, which is enough to eat. The sun is shining again at noon. Instead of squeezing in the carriage, it is better to go back.

"Okay." Gu Shiqing nodded and went out to untie the rope tied to the tree, then drove the carriage back.

There were so many people and noisy places on Xishan Mountain that he just didn't want to stay anymore.

Brother Xiao Le was lying at the window looking out. Lin Mu took out a small straw hat and put it on for him.

The carriage arrived at the village, "Tuantuan!" Brother Xiaole stretched out his little fleshy hand and waved, smiling like a tooth.

With sharp eyes, he saw Madam Wu coming towards her at a glance, holding Xiao Tuantuan in one hand and an earthen pot in the other, about to go down.

Gu Shiqing stopped the carriage and took brother Xiao Le down.

He ran over and took Xiao Tuantuan's hand affectionately, "Tuan Tuan, I just dug some sweet roots. Come to my house to play and eat together."

Xiao Tuantuan looked at Mrs. Wu expectantly.

"Go, go," Mrs. Wu smiled sheepishly at Lin Mu, "I'm troubling you again."

Mr. Wu and his family have been in the village for more than ten days, and the little brothers Tuantuan and Xiaole have started to play. In this regard, Wu Both the boss and Madam Wu are happy to see the results. They heard from Wu Laoer that Gu Shiqing was very good at dealing with the living dead, and that Lin Mu, even though he was a husband, should not be underestimated! What's not to like about this?

"It's okay," Lin Mu shook his head, "Tuantuan is very well-behaved."

Mrs. Wu smiled and continued to carry the earthen jar to deliver water to Mr. Wu in the field.

Lin Mu carried Xiao Tuantuan into the carriage. This was a very shy little brother. He hugged Lin Mu dependently and whispered, "Thank you."

Brother Xiao Le couldn't wait to hold his little hand and the two of them leaned together and whispered. Muttering.

Lin Mu gave the place to them and sat outside with Gu Shiqing.

"Tuantuan is well-raised." Lin Mu sighed. He had only been here for more than ten days, and his little face had become rounder.

"Mr. Wu is kind," Gu Shiqing said.

The elder Wu brought his wife and children to seek refuge with his younger brother. The second elder Wu seemed to really not dislike him.

The carriage swayed across the field, looking at the unfamiliar faces, Lin Mu frowned, "With so many people here, it seems that life in the county is indeed difficult."

Boss Wu was the first to bring his family back to Shangxi Village, but he was not the last one.

In the past ten days, many more people have come one after another. Among them, some came back with their families. Most of these people were originally from Shangxi Village. Many of their original houses were still there, and they could live in them quickly after packing up their luggage. There were also some who came alone or in groups of two or three. Those who rely on relatives and friends are mostly empty-handed, and life will be more difficult.

However, even if it is difficult, we can get by for the time being. Not to mention those who have a house at home, or those who live in other people's homes. In this summer, wild vegetables are growing like crazy and there are many wild animals. As long as you are willing to work, you will never die of hunger. The food supply is much better.

Most of the people in the village only welcomed these people with raised hands. The wheat harvest was about to begin in a few days. The weather was good this year and the crops were growing well. What's wrong with having more helpers now?

At worst, they just harvested the wheat and gave them some grain. In previous years, hiring day laborers cost a lot of money!

Gu Shiqing also sighed and nodded: "Yes."

He was hesitant before, but in the end he did not go to the county.

Now more than ten days have passed, and looking at the fear in the eyes of many people who have just returned, he thought that he might as well go there.

At least I won't feel guilty, otherwise I would have been thinking about this for more than ten days.

However, he had to go quietly, and it was best to find a reason not to let Mumu find out.

Wanting to understand this, he put his arms around Lin Mu and said, "Mumu, I'm going to the mountains tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Lin Mu poked his head out of his arms, a little confused.

"Yes." Gu Shiqing nodded.

"Brother Tang Jiang and I are going to hunt some wild animals together. As you can see, there are people all around Xishan Mountain. We have to go farther this time."

"Aren't you going to take me with you?"

Gu Shiqing squeezed Lin Mu's hand. "Mumu, I feel relieved when you are at home."

"Okay." Lin Mu lowered his eyelashes, feeling a little unhappy.

"Then you have to be careful!"

"Don't worry, okay? Your husband and I are a hunter. There is nothing to be afraid of when we go to the mountains."

Looking at the forest trees, which were still a little listless, Gu Shiqing looked around.

Why!

Not far ahead is the ancestral hall.

"Mumu, let's go there and see how many living dead there are." Gu Shiqing tried to distract Hela from Lin Mu's attention.

Um? Lin Mu really perked up.

When they arrived at the hut next to the ancestral hall, Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing jumped out of the car and asked Wu Laoer, the guard there, "How are you doing? How many living dead are there now?"

Wu Laoer saw that it was Gu Shiqing and didn't hide it. "Thirty-nine."

That many? ?

Seeing the shock on their faces, he smiled bitterly, "Yeah, I wouldn't know if I didn't patrol, but I caught a lot of people during the patrol."

Gu Shiqing and the others were the first to catch the living dead, and then built a wooden wall to pass through. After a few days of peaceful birthdays, familiar relatives and friends returned to the village one after another, and the village was very lively for two days.

Until one morning early one morning, an aunt at the entrance of the village got up to feed the chickens and was startled by the living dead outside the yard.

Good guy!

Then, isn't there a living dead standing outside the courtyard? !

She was still calm and was not frightened by the "ho ho" sound of the living dead. She quietly went back to the house and pushed the old man and two sons up, and the three of them worked together to take down the living dead.

This incident suddenly extinguished the good mood of the villagers in the past few days. Many people thought that they would be able to sit back and relax after building a wooden wall. They almost forgot why these relatives and friends had to return to the village!

There was a moment of panic.

The old village chief made the decision, "Send some young and strong men to patrol!"

So the patrol team was settled.

Each household sends its men to join the patrol team in shifts. There are two shifts a day, with four people in each shift. They usually patrol around the outermost wooden wall. The other group wanders around the village to see if anything has slipped through the net.

Most of these young men are not as lethal as Gu Shiqing against zombies, but two or three of them can catch them together. After a day, they become more proficient and get results.

This is how the zombies in these three rooms came to be.

Not only did they send people to patrol, but the old village chief also arranged for a person to guard the house, who also took turns.

However, there are many men in the village, and the patrol team has only been on duty for eight or nine days, and it is not Gu Shiqing's turn yet.

Gu Shiqing nodded and said to Wu Lao'er: "Then this house is not enough! There are so many living dead in just a few days."

"Yes," Wu Lao'er also said, "I have already told the village chief, and we have to Let's get out of the house again."

"I just don't know what's going on. There have been more and more living dead in the past two days." He was also puzzled. He only caught seven living dead yesterday, but the brothers who patrolled yesterday were very tired. .

Gu Shiqing guessed that the situation in the county was getting worse.

He didn't say anything to Wu Laoer, Xiaoxiao and Lin Mu left together.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Mu seriously warned, "Be careful tomorrow!"

He saw that it was not peaceful outside, and he didn't know if Xishan would also encounter the living dead, but his husband made up his mind to go.

Hey...

ah? Gu Shiqing was caught off guard. He thought his wife had forgotten about it after diverting attention!

The shock on his face was so obvious that Lin Mu laughed out loud, "What's wrong? You think I forgot?"

"No, no," Gu Shiqing said quickly.

"I won't forget it." Lin Mu took the initiative to hold Gu Shiqing's hand. He knew that the husband wanted to prevent him from worrying, but it was related to the safety of the husband. How could he forget it just because of an interruption.

"Okay, okay."

Alas, the villain in Gu Shiqing's heart is beating his chest, and his wife has seen through it!

Turning his head and looking into Lin Mu's bright eyes, he became happy again, my wife is smart!

After returning home, the two took Little Le and Tuan Tuan out of the car. Lin Mu cut the sweet root into small pieces for them, and the two little brothers held hands and talked and laughed together in the yard.

Seeing that there was nothing in a hurry, Lin Mu went back to the side room to read the medical books that Gu Shiqing brought back to study. He could recognize some words but not many, so Gu Shiqing taught him how to read while giving him the simplest herbal medicine book. Look at Lin Mu, the herbs painted on it are lifelike and have annotations, which is especially suitable for Lin Mu who is just starting out to learn.

Lin Mu thought to himself that if there was any inconvenience in the future, it would be good to know some medical skills. Without a doctor's guidance, he could only follow the instructions on his own.

As for Gu Shiqing, seeing that Lin Mu was studying seriously, he went to Tang Jiang to discuss tomorrow's affairs.

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels for reading!

Chapter 48 County (1)

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang made an appointment to go to the county today.

Early in the morning, when the sky was dark, Gu Shiqing crept up from the bed, thinking about sneaking away while his wife was sleeping, but he was grabbed by the corner of his clothes with a "snap".

"Do you want to tell me to go by yourself?" Lin Mu sat on the bed with no expression on his face.

When did your wife wake up?

Gu Shiqing's heart skipped a beat and he squeezed out a smile.

"No, I'm going to make breakfast first."

"You asked Mr. Zhou to steam the steamed buns last night." Lin Mu said calmly.

Gu Shiqing hurriedly went through the cabinet and took Lin Mu's clothes, "Mumu, wear this dark blue long-sleeved shirt today. You are fair, and this color suits you."

Without saying a word, Lin Mu took off his white undershirt. He put it on neatly through the long sleeves in his hand, and did not let him turn his head to change his clothes like before.

Gu Shiqing and Gu Shiqing instead lowered their eyes and did not dare to look.

Lin Mu got dressed and walked out of the house, washed up, and boiled water. He did this slowly and leisurely. Gu Shiqing was hanging around him, but he felt a little uneasy.

Say you are angry, say "yes" when you talk to him, say you are not angry, why does the atmosphere feel wrong?

Gu Shiqing was a little unsure for a moment.

Tang Jiang knocked on the door.

He came alone, knowing that his brother was still sleeping soundly at home.

"Let's go," Lin Mu took the water bag and handed it to Gu Shiqing.

Gu Shiqing smiled. He wanted to follow Tang Jiang outside the door but hesitantly looked at Lin Mu.

Tang Jiang noticed something, quietly closed the door, and stood aside to wait.

Lin Mu glanced at the closed door, then looked at Gu Shiqing who was still standing there hesitantly, sneered, pressed Gu Shiqing's shoulders and rushed forward...

After a while, Gu Shiqing opened the courtyard door, holding a water bag in his left hand and a water bag in his right hand. Covering the corners of his mouth.

"My husband bit him?" Tang Jiang followed and looked at Gu Shiqing teasingly.

"Hiss..." Gu Shiqing put down his hand, "You guessed it."

There was a small tooth mark on the right corner of his mouth, and there was also a trace of blood.

"We men should be more tolerant of our husbands. In this world, it is not easy to be a husband." Tang Jiang warned Gu Shiqing as if he was afraid of any differences between the couple.

"Of course." Gu Shiqing nodded quickly.

Does it matter if his wife bites him? That's fun.

Gu Shiqing thought about Lin Mu's angry sneer and the more vivid look on his face, and secretly smiled in his heart.

It's so spicy when my wife is angry!

The two of them walked towards the county. Since they had already discussed it and did not plan to spend too much time along the way, they chose more remote paths. There were not many zombies on the road. In addition, they walked carefully and only knocked down After catching three zombies, he saw the county city gate from a distance.

This... When I got closer and saw the city gate wide open, with zombies swarming around in groups inside and outside the door, and broken limbs and arms scattered everywhere on the ground, Gu Shiqing was speechless for a moment.

There are too many zombies outside the city gate. How come the city gate is open and no one cares about it?

Look at how many people are still alive in this county?

Tang Jiang also frowned and looked solemn.

No, Gu Shiqing shook his head. Even if he and Tang Jiang could fight, there was nothing they could do if they were surrounded by so many zombies.

"Let's wait until night." Gu Shiqing said to Tang Jiang.

At night, he still has options.

At night, Lin Mu lit the candles in the house and looked at the dark night outside, feeling a little worried.

Shi Qing didn't come back today, so he was lying on the cool bamboo mat with his brother Xiao Le in his arms.

Brother Xiaole hasn't slept with his uncle for a long time. He is very excited and wants to invite Tuan Tuan to sleep with him.

Lin Mu was a little stunned.

He regretted it. In the morning... he didn't know whether the bite hurt or not.

Did he apply insect repellent on the mountain? Will I get bitten by mosquitoes?

Gu Shiqing really didn't apply insect repellent at first.

He and Tang Jiang leaned on the back of a big rock outside the city. The chirping of cicadas and the flying of mosquitoes mingled with each other. The two of them were stung all over their ankles before they even thought of repellent water.

Gu Shiqing quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from the space, and the two of them applied it before finishing.

The time has come, the dark night blends with the faint moonlight.

Gu Shiqing asked Tang Jiang to continue to stay behind the stone and observe, while he quietly ran a hundred meters to the other side of the city gate.

He took out a big speaker from the space, pressed the switch, put it down and ran away.

"Apples cost three yuan per catty! Apples cost three yuan per catty!" The loudspeaker used in the vegetable market made a loud sound.

This is what they used to attract zombies, but luckily there is still one in the space.

This was just the first step. In the second step, he took two strings of colorful fluorescent sticks and tied them to the tree. Yes, fluorescent sticks!

The combination of the sound and the shining light made him unconvinced that the zombies would not come, which was why he wanted to wait until night.

The effect is more obvious at night when it is quiet.

The zombies were indeed attracted, and those surrounding the city gate changed their direction and moved towards the source of the sound.

Gu Shiqing returned behind the big rock.

"What's going on? Who is it?" Although he couldn't understand the words, Tang Jiang was sure it was a human voice.

"Little thing, don't worry about it. Let's go to the city when the opportunity arises."

Tang Jiang stopped asking any more questions.

The two watched the zombies slowly decrease and hurriedly and carefully ran into the city.

On the street, which is no better than the city gate, human and zombie corpses are piled up, and scattered zombie heads roll down in the middle of the road. Under the faint moonlight, there is a strange harmony in all this, as if all the hostile fights during their lifetimes are all gone. Turned into dust.

Man, die once.

Zombie, dead again.

Gu Shiqing was silent.

The nightmare comes again.

The painful memories that were not far away were hidden deep in his mind. He thought that the stable and happy life in Shangxi Village had healed all the pain.

It turns out... not really.

These pains have always followed him.

Family members and friends who died in the previous life, and myself who lost her life, will all this happen again?

No! No!

Gu Shiqing woke up. Now was not the time to dwell on the past.

He patted Tang Jiang, who was still stunned, and said, "Follow me!"

Tang Jiang's heart trembled. It was really, really miserable.

He couldn't help but keep up with Gu Shiqing's pace.

Gu Shiqing told Tang Jiang that he came to the county to find friends. Tang Jiang also wanted to see the situation in the county and trusted Gu Shiqing's skills, so he came with him.

Gu Shiqing didn't lie. He came to the county not only to remind the county magistrate, but also to see how Wang Xi was doing if he had the chance.

The two of them made their way to Wang Xi's residence. "There's no one there." Tang Jiang shook his head.

"It can't be..."

"I don't know, let's have another look." Gu Shiqing replied calmly.

After walking about half way through the county, I saw a low wall.

Looking from a distance, there is a faint light.

This is... a base?

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang walked forward and finally saw the gate of the wall.

There were still zombies surrounding the wall trying to get in, but the low wall was higher than them, so the zombies could only circle around in vain.

But where is this wall door?

The two of them wondered.

Gu Shiqing took a closer look. In order to avoid the zombies, they were still some distance away from the wall. Indeed, they did not see the door, and there was no one guarding the door like in their previous base.

There was no such wall before, so it must have been newly built. Since it is built here, there cannot be no way of entry and exit

above ground, so it must be...underground?

The author has something to say:

Chapter 49 County (2)

inside the wall.

"Let's go, let's go look for something outside!"

At night, Liu Da was supposed to be sleeping in bed, but he got up energetically and knocked on his brother Liu Er's door.

"Okay!" Liu Er responded as he took off his cloth shoes and put on lightweight straw sandals that bound his feet.

These brothers are lucky. Although they are ordinary people, their families are not rich and they have not even married a daughter-in-law. But it happened to be zoned into the inner city, with two mud-roofed houses nearby, and there was no need to squeeze into the main store with people coming in from outside, so that was the best.

The two Liu brothers carried large backpacks covered with a piece of black cloth and walked to the exit of the city near the wall by familiar routes. There were already many people queuing up, most of them carrying baggage and noisily like them.

"Hey! You guys gained a lot last night!"

The people in line in front turned around and looked at the two of them with envy.

"Not much, just enough to fill my stomach today. No, it will come out again tonight." Liu Da was smarter and passed by vaguely.

The man in front obviously didn't believe it, curled his lips and turned around.

Not long after, it was the brothers' turn.

"Be careful, don't get hurt when you come back!" Two government officials guarding the front warned.

"That's that." Liu Dalian nodded with a smile on his face.

The yamen officer on the left turned sideways, revealing the exit from the city behind him.

It's really underground!

A large circular hole was opened in the ground, several times larger than the water tank used at home, and a ladder was set up on the edge.

Liu Da stretched out his feet to step on the ladder, turned his back, stepped on the ladder and climbed down.

There is a tunnel in front of us. It is not high, about two meters. It is more than one person wide. Two people cannot walk side by side. The color of the soil in my hand is different from that on the ground. It seems that it was newly dug in a hurry. It is barely usable. That's all.

There was a candle stuck at a distance on the wall inside the cave, and its dim light illuminated the road ahead.

Liu Da went all the way down and jumped off the ladder without forgetting to hold on to his younger brother. The two of them followed the crowd one behind the other.

The people who were noisy when they were queuing just now became silent. Now they have left the city and are outside the city. The layer of soil above their heads is a place full of living dead. They cherish their lives!

You can't make a sound to attract the living dead.

Some of these people used to live in the outer city and some lived in the inner city behind the wall. They all went out for one purpose: to pick up things.

Grain, cloth, wood, no matter what it is, it belongs to whoever picks it up, except that when you return, the yamen will collect some as entry fee.

On that day, Magistrate Qian ordered the government officials to bring his parents, wife and children, and placed them all in the magistrate's mansion.

The magistrate's mansion was spacious, and it was summer, so people could sleep in the courtyard with two layers of cloth. Those who couldn't sleep were placed in Magistrate Qian's own mansion.

for what?

Of course, this is to allow these government officials to have no worries.

Magistrate Qian immediately ordered them to be divided into three groups. One group gathered people, allocated places, and built earthen walls. With the county magistrate's mansion as the center, the other group dug a tunnel that led directly to the outside of the wall. The soil was just right and could be used to build an earthen wall. The third group of government officials patrolled around the designated wall, knocked down the living dead, and then threw them outside.

Knowing that the wall was to be built, the people inside the wall were naturally happy. Many men volunteered to help, or helped guard, paying attention to the living dead to reassure them. The areas outside the wall must be uneven, and there were many during the construction process. People are trying their best to move inside the wall.

Needless to say, it was chaotic, but fortunately it has become more settled now.

Originally, the people inside the wall still lived in their own homes. Those outside the wall who wanted to come in could do so by paying some food as entry fee. Simple thatched huts were built on both sides of the street, and they could just find one to lie down and sleep for the night.

What about just eating?

It turned out that the families living in the wall still had some food left over, so those who came in from the outside had to go back outside to look for food, picking up food from unoccupied homes and eating what they found to fill their stomachs. Busy people going back and forth inside and outside the wall all day long were just for the protection of the earthen wall and the government officials who patrolled back and forth.

Of course, this protection is not for nothing. You have to pay the city fee after you go out and come in again. It doesn't matter what you have. If you have something, you can pay one-fifth of it.

For this reason, some unwilling ones still huddled outside the wall and rummaged around for food. Why couldn't they live?

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang were wandering on the street.

Even if there was a passage underground, it would never be very long. They would only circle around a place not far outside the wall.

"Someone!" Tang Jiang pushed Gu Shiqing, and he heard the movement.

"Let's go, follow."

Gu Shiqing walked in front, "It seems to be there?"

The two of them saw vague shadows jumping out of the ground one after another in front of them through the moonlight, and they immediately understood that this might be The tunnel is here.

Tang Jiang went up to chat and came back soon, "That's the tunnel to go back to."

He pointed in the opposite direction, and the two of them walked over carefully. Seeing that there seemed to be a figure in front of them, they followed.

Not far away, he followed the man and climbed down the ladder, and what he could see was a tunnel.

"This is it!" Gu Shiqing said.

The two of them followed in silence, and then climbed the ladder to the ground. They didn't bring much dry food with them, so they were given two steamed buns and were released by the Yamen servant.

The inside of the wall was indeed different from the outside, and it suddenly felt like there were more people.

Although it was night, it was not quiet at all. There were people setting up stalls with oil lamps on the roadside and shouting.

The whole county seemed to be filled with vitality all of a sudden.

It's a bit like the base before, Gu Shiqing thought.

However, it is probably because the living conditions here are poor, or the ordinary zombies are not that powerful and the pressure is not so great. Even the many people lying down and resting casually in thatched huts on the roadside don't feel so nervous.

"You can find a place to rest," Gu Shiqing pointed to the thatched hut on the roadside, "I'll come as soon as I go."

"Okay," Tang Jiang didn't ask him what he was going for, "I'll be right at the exit of the city. I'll sit by that thatched house and wait for you."

Gu Shiqing waved and left.

He walked towards the County Magistrate's Mansion. If he guessed correctly, the entire wall should be centered around the County Magistrate's Mansion.

It arrived in a short while. Gu Shiqing reached into his arms and took out a letter. He secretly wrote it in space last night. Now he wanted to hand this to the county magistrate.

Along the way, the atmosphere inside the wall was pretty good. The county magistrate once again adopted a method similar to the one he used to establish a base in his previous life. Gu Shiqing now has a little more confidence.

I hope he can consider what I said in my letter, Gu Shiqing thought optimistically.

Delivering letters has become easier. After all, there is no surveillance here, so Gu Shiqing is not worried at all.

He found a teenage boy on the street and spent two white-flour steamed buns to get it done.

County magistrate's office.

Magistrate Qian was talking to the captain of his team of government officials in the back hall.

"You must patrol well every day," County Magistrate Qian said, "We..."

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate," the concierge hurried over, saw the gift first, and then said, "Someone submitted a letter saying that it was with the County Magistrate. The adults are familiar with each other, but the villains dare not be good at it, so I came here to report it. "

I am familiar with you?"

"Where's the letter?" Magistrate Qian frowned.

"Here."

"Bring it to me and see."

The porter lowered his head and handed the letter over.

Magistrate Qian took the letter, opened it, and read it carefully, his eyes slowly widening.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 50 Baby (1)

this?

Is everything in this letter true?

Magistrate Qian's lips trembled and he read it again carefully.

Gu Shiqing didn't say much in the letter. As a member of the supernatural team in his previous life, he didn't know the origin of the zombies. All he knows is how to destroy them.

Burning them to ashes is the most worry-free, and to completely kill the zombies, you need to cut off their heads. Hitting the back of the head like Gu Shiqing can restrain them and make them incapacitated, but if someone comes to his mouth, the zombies will still be killed. Will take a bite.

Magistrate Qian hesitated.

This letter states that the living dead are no longer human, and the people they bite will become like them.

He couldn't judge the first point, but the latter was exactly what the letter said and what he saw with his own eyes.

But the most appalling part of the letter was the suggestion that the living dead should be burned to ashes.

This is unbelievable!

Even those who have committed the most heinous crimes can still have their bodies intact after death, and their relatives can take them back and bury them.

Now, the letter asked him to burn all the living dead outside the wall?

Only in this way can the original prosperity of the county be restored?

Absolutely ridiculous!

If he really did this, how would he explain it to the people here?

Magistrate Qian shook his head and said to the porter, "Can you see clearly who gave you the letter?"

The porter shook his head, "No, sir."

"Okay, you go down."

Magistrate Qian twisted . Twisting his flowing beard, he said to the servant standing behind him: "Go and call the patrol captain."

Gu Shiqing was returning the same way.

He hid on the opposite street and saw the concierge of the county magistrate's office accepting the letter, then patted his butt and left.

I hope the county magistrate can adopt his suggestion.

When he walked to the place he agreed with Tang Jiang, Tang Jiang was not there.

"Look, who is this?" A hand patted his shoulder.

Gu Shiqing turned around, Tang Jiang was looking at him with a smile, and Wang Xi?

Wang Xi smiled and said, "Brother Gu."

"Brother Wang!" Gu Shiqing stepped forward and patted Wang Xi on the arm, "I just told Tang Jiang that I don't know how you are."

"It seems like " I'm living a good life."

"It's just a hand-to-mouth existence." Wang Xi waved his hand, "The county is going to build this inner wall and dig an underground passage a few days ago. We brothers also have food to eat, but I don't know if these have been completed. What should we do?"

"I think you are still busy!" Gu Shiqing asked the prophet.

"Two entrances and exits are not enough. Also," Gu Shiqing pointed to the thatched house on the street, "It won't work anyway. Maybe we will let you build tile-roofed houses in a few days."

"You are in the county . How are your days?" Gu Shiqing asked with concern.

"Fortunately, they are all young and strong men, and they take care of me, so I can still get by." Wang Xi pointed to the two men who followed him with a smile, "The living dead were beaten to the ground before they even got close to me. "

That's right," Gu Shiqing nodded, "No more words, let's go first."

Gu Shiqing looked at the hanging moon, "You should rest early.

" He waved his hand nonchalantly, "Why are you resting? The living dead are energetic during the day and dull at night. Everyone is used to working out at night!"

"Look at the street..."

People are coming and going on the street, setting up stalls, lining up to go in and out of the city. Yes, it confirms what Wang Xi said.

Yes, Gu Shiqing smiled. It's true. It seems that no matter where they are, people are a tenacious species that can quickly adapt to the environment.

The two waved goodbye to Wang Xi and queued up to leave the city.

After leaving the city, it was still night and the sky was still dark.

But this place is full of living dead and dangerous, and there are only two of them. It would be better to go back overnight to find a place to take turns to rest. Besides, the slow movement of the living dead at night is also conducive to their hurry.

So the two of them went to Shangxi Village at starry night without saying a word while nibbling on the big white-faced steamed buns they brought.

It was already bright when the two of them arrived at the village. They couldn't eat or sleep well after being outside all day and night. In summer, the sun was shining brightly during the day and mosquitoes were harassing them at night. They just wanted to go back and lie in bed. Take a break.

In Shangxi Village.

Lin Mu got up early today and rarely went to the fields carrying a sickle.

After renting the fields to the Li brothers, he didn't care much about the work in the fields. He just harvested grain every year.

Today is different. Yesterday, the old village chief walked in the fields for a long time, checked the weather, and decided to harvest wheat today. Then he has to come and help. Harvesting wheat is a big job. The fields are very busy, chopping wheat ears, picking wheat kernels, shelling and grinding flour, etc. At this time of year, even a ten-year-old boy I have to follow the adults all the way to pick up the wheat!

How could Lin Mu not come to his own farm? Even Brother Zhi came.

It was just that Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang were not there by chance and did not catch up.

When Lin Mu went to the field with Zhi Geer wearing straw sandals, there were already many people in the field.

Most of them are dressed like Lin Mu, with long sleeves and long trousers, the cuffs and trousers are tightly tied, a big straw hat is worn on the head to protect from the sun, a sweat towel is draped on the shoulder, and a water bottle is hung around the waist.

"Let's start too." Lin Mu said to Zhi Ge'er. He saw many figures among the wheat stalks already waving sickles to cut the wheat.

Knowing that this was the case, the two of them split up and went to their respective fields.

The Li brothers were not surprised by Lin Mu's arrival. Lin Mu greeted them and picked a piece of land.

The thick earth under his feet gave people a sense of solidity. The forest trees worked wholeheartedly, waving their sickles up and down, but some sounds drifted into his ears.

"Aunt Zhou, it's really hard for you to work with a baby in your arms."

"What's the point?" Aunt Zhou smiled cheerfully, "You're just used to it."

Her baby was just three years old, but she couldn't In your arms? Aunt Zhou bumped the small backpack carrying the baby on her back.

Her baby sat obediently in the basket, neither crying nor fussing.

"Hey? Didn't I remember that your uncle came back from the county?" The person who spoke was Aunt Zhou's neighbor. He saw Aunt Zhou's uncle enter the house two days ago.

Aunt Zhou and Old Man Zhou only had one girl, and they grew up holding each other in their hands. When they reached the age of marriage, they even married a person from the county. The old couple have always been proud of this.

Why haven't I seen this person for so many days since I came back?

Logically speaking, how could the wheat harvester not come to help?

I'm afraid that if the girl hadn't married to the county, she would have looked down upon their village!

The neighbor was a little bit murmuring.

Aunt Zhou said with an awkward smile while picking up the wheat ears: "Yes, I just came back from the county and I don't have to rest for a few days."

Having said that, Aunt Zhou was also puzzled.

The girl's uncle didn't look very enthusiastic when he came back. After he came back, the two of them stayed in the house and didn't come out.

It is indeed a bit abnormal!

Lin Mu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The weather is so hot!

What will happen to the little baby in the little backpack exposed to such strong sunlight?

Lin Mu was a little worried and wanted to walk over to remind Aunt Zhou. When he got closer, Aunt Zhou happened to bend down and the cloth covering the backpack accidentally slipped off.

this?

Lin Mu stared at the baby.

Why did this little baby's face turn blue?

It can't be...

Lin Mu was shocked.
