Chapter 51 Baby (2)

not good!

Lin Mu screamed in his heart!

Judging from the baby's face, it is obviously different from ordinary people, maybe it is going to become a living dead!

Calm down!

Lin Mu took a deep breath, put down the sickle, walked over with a smile, pointed at the basket on his back and said to Aunt Zhou: "Aunt Zhou, this is your grandson, how old is he?"

As he said that, he wanted to pull away the cloth that was covering the child from the sun . , take a closer look.

"Three years old. He's so good. He usually lives with his mother in the county. When he comes back, he doesn't cry at all when I carry him on his back!" Aunt Zhou said with pride in her expression.

As she spoke, she put down the carrier, knelt down and took out the baby from the carrier.

Lin Mu's eyes widened. The little boy's face was indeed blue-white. He was motionless and speechless. He didn't look like a boy of this age at all.

Seeing Aunt Zhou's unaware expression, Lin Mu's heart sank, he opened his arms and forced a smile and said, "Let me hug you."

Aunt Zhou shook her head, hugged the baby and hid behind, "No."

Her daughter couldn't. She was told that only she and her man could hold the baby, and no one else was allowed to touch the baby.

"Aunt Zhou..." Lin Mu was struggling with what to say.

An aunt next to her seemed to have seen something horrifying at this moment, her expression stiffened, "Living dead! This is... this is living dead!"

"Ah!" she shouted.

The aunts who were watching also took a few steps back, with looks of fear on their faces.

"Where are the living dead?"

"Where...where?"

"Where are the living dead?"

The men in the field heard the screams and ran towards the source of the sound.

In this case, Lin Mu said directly: "Aunt Zhou, there seems to be something wrong with the doll. It's best to show it to everyone."

The aunts around were brave enough to join in, "Zhou family, please take a good look at it." The living child is a living dead!"

"What living dead?" Aunt Zhou's face was gloomy, completely different from her previous enthusiasm.

"Everyone was so idle, pointing out this and that!"

"My baby is fine!"

She said as she hugged the baby and left.

The men who came after smelling the sound arrived and gathered around. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. They knew what was going on at a glance.

Can the living dead still be a little doll?

The man closest to Aunt Zhou said, "Aunt, whether it's true or not, just show your baby face for everyone to see."

"Huh!" Aunt Zhou just hid the baby in her arms, "Don't be blind. Curse my children!"

"Be careful, be careful of retribution on your children!" She yelled with a fierce look in her eyes.

When she said this, some men became unhappy.

Originally, I came here with good intentions, but you cursed my child like this, who would talk nonsense to you?

The man walked forward and impatiently reached out to hug her.

Aunt Zhou slapped her outstretched hand away, "Yao Shou! You're robbing the baby in broad daylight!" She cried and shouted, and several men frowned even more and came up to hug the baby.

"Okay!" A man reached out and hugged the child, "Don't cry, baby, let uncle look at you."

He coaxed the baby, but he was still a little puzzled. He struggled so hard without crying. This baby was too well-behaved. Bar.

He turned the little doll around.

A blue-white face faced him, with dark eyes that looked penetrating.

The doll opened its mouth and showed an extremely weird smile.

The man's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously let go of his hand. The doll moved, climbed up quickly on one of his arms, and gave the arm a bite.

It actually has teeth?

The man screamed out in pain, "Quick! Save me! Living dead!"

He swung his arms hard to throw the doll away.

This turn of events shocked the men who were still arguing with Aunt Zhou and the onlookers.

Lin Mu was the first to come to his senses, "Living dead! Bring the rope! Bring the stick!"

He said as he strode towards the edge of the field, trying to get the rope he had placed there.

"Someone's coming, someone's coming! You're bullying the little baby!" Aunt Zhou seemed to be unable to see anything unusual about the baby, and was still crying and shouting.

No one paid attention to her at this time.

The timid ones slipped back, while the bold ones looked at them like little babies and didn't even bother to use sticks and ropes, so they immediately tried to catch them.

Several men helped to break off the doll on their arms. The little doll was extremely flexible. It slipped away from their hands with a swipe of the ground, jumped to the ground, and jumped around like a frog, following it. The men who jumped at him from behind were really slow to slip away.

The men surrounded him from the left and the right, and he was extremely ferocious, biting people's ankles whenever he saw them. In just a short while, a dozen men were bitten.

Everyone gradually became a little scared. Some people sat down immediately after being bitten and did not dare to come forward again.

There was a stalemate for a while.

Seeing this, the doll stopped moving, straightened up from the ground, and stared at the person.

This living dead is completely different from the ones I encountered before!

How terrible!

Many people thought in their hearts at the same time.

Lin Mu hurried over with a rope and a temporarily broken branch. When he saw that many people did not move, he did not think much. He waved the branch and wanted to hit the little zombie as before. The baby seemed to feel something and turned his head with a smile. , "swipe" the ground and jump towards the forest trees.

"Be careful!"

"Mumu! Be careful!" Brother Zhi shouted anxiously, about to rush towards Lin Mu.

Lin Mu watched helplessly as the doll rushed toward him with a nasty smile, his heart trembled unconsciously, and his legs and feet felt a little weak for a moment.

Run away! Run away!

He muttered silently in his mind, but his feet seemed to be frozen, unable to move forward.

Seeing the little baby getting closer and closer, Lin Mu shouted in his heart, Shi Qing, Shi Qing, where are you, I... help me!

There was a "pop" sound.

The little baby was thrown to the ground, and a generous hand hugged him, "Mumu, don't be afraid! I'm coming!" A gentle

voice sounded, Lin Mu sniffed, turned around and saw that the tall figure had squatted down. The body was wrapped around the little doll with a rope.

"Mumu! Mumu! You just scared me to death!" Zhi Geer's chirping voice sounded. The moment the living dead rushed towards Mumu, he was almost scared to cry, okay?

"Don't be afraid, am I okay?" Lin Mu also recovered from the crisis and comforted Zhi Geer with a smile.

Over there, Gu Shiqing had already wrapped the little baby tightly, tied a rope and held it in his hand, with a cold look in his eyes.

Baby zombies.

Long time no see.

I really want to burn it all clean!

Just now, I almost almost hurt Mumu!

If he had come a little later, wouldn't it, wouldn't it...

Gu Shiqing was frightened for a while, and he didn't dare to leave Mumu's side at will.

He must guard him.

Everyone watched Gu Shiqing's movements without saying a word. When they were tied up, the old village chief stood up and said, "Take it to that room."

"Wu Laoer, take it over and let Shi Qing go back and rest. " He

smiled and said to Gu Shiqing: "Young boy, you are a great hero today!"

Gu Shiqing said with a cold face.

The old village chief didn't mind, and looked at Aunt Zhou with a stern face, "As for you, the Zhou family, what's going on with the living dead? Let's go to your house and talk about it!"

Aunt Zhou seemed to be shocked by the chaos just now, and just stared blankly. He looked blankly at the doll in Mr. Wu's hand, wondering if he heard it.

"Okay, let's disperse." The old village chief said.

"Wait a minute," Gu Shiqing interrupted.

Everyone looked at him, what else is going on?

"What should I do with these people?"

"What should I do with these people?" The man

who didn't know what he was talking about looked confused. He knew he felt guilty and slowly backed away.

"That's it."

Gu Shiqing smiled and pointed at the bitten man's arm.

The author has something to say:

Wow! For the first time since writing this article, I received a moonstone dropped from the air by a little angel and a word to catch insects!

Thank you everyone!

Chapter 52 Baby (3)

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

This, what is this young boy talking about!

Dissatisfaction appeared on the face of the man who was bitten on the arm. Okay, he was completely satisfied for the sake of the village, and now he is locked up with the real living dead just because he was bitten by the little living dead?

This young boy thinks he can call the shots in the village after dealing with a few living dead?

"Young boy," he stood up and said, "You can't do things so unethically. I was bitten. So according to what you said, those of us who were bitten have to be locked up?"

He took a glance just now, no. When the young man was catching the little living dead, he was bitten on his ankles and calves. There were more than a dozen bites in total!

I'm sorry this kid doesn't dare to offend all of them!

Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Shiqing contemptuously.

Unexpectedly, Gu Shiqing was so brave!

"Of course," he nodded matter-of-factly, "if you are bitten, you may become a living dead. You all have to go to the ancestral hall and stay there first."

He glanced around.

Now these people are all potentially dangerous elements. For Mumu's safety, he must do this. He cannot tolerate any mistakes on Mumu's part.

Besides, he hasn't mentioned burning the zombies yet!

As soon as these words came out, those who were bitten were not happy.

"You young boy, you are trying to drive us all away!"

"We are all from the village, why are you so evil-minded!"

"That's right, I didn't see it before!" An old man who was bitten on the calf returned the wound regardless of the wound. There was blood dripping and he was cursing loudly.

Lin Mu watched them scolding Gu Shiqing and felt anxious, "Uncles and aunties, Shi Qing has no bad intentions. He only thinks about the village."

"Everyone go to the ancestral hall for a few days. It won't take much effort to come back if nothing happens." he urged earnestly.

"What you said is nice, you cut the ground!" He said and threw the sickle to the ground with a bang.

"You can go ahead, but I won't go anyway!"

"Ha! When did a guy get to point his fingers at us men?"

"Village chief, please say something!"

"That's right, you can't just help that guy named Gu. "Yes!"

Those who were bitten and their family members came forward aggressively and surrounded the old village chief, asking for an explanation.

Lin Mu was about to say something, but Gu Shiqing pulled him, with anger in his eyes, "Mumu, stop talking, they won't listen! We don't owe them anything."

"Shi Qing..." Lin Mu shook his head She held Gu Shiqing's hand and looked at him sadly, "I can't see them talking about you like that."

Gu Shiqing's mouth curled up slightly, turned around and squeezed his hand, "Then you know I can't see them talking about you like that? "

Mumu," Gu Shiqing softened his voice, "let's let them go."

He was a little tired of hearing the noisy arguments and curses in his ears.

Although no one may understand what he does, but he is misunderstood and scolded time and time again, and he is not a saint.

"Shi Qing, I don't want to see the village turn into what you said."

Lin Mu heard Gu Shiqing describe the horror of the living dead, and he was afraid that the Shangxi Village where he grew up would become like that.

"Okay, let's listen to what the village chief has to say."

At this time, the old village chief also spoke. On one side were the noisy villagers, and on the other side was the young couple waiting quietly. He was also in a dilemma!

How can I hold this bowl of water level?

The old village chief's eyebrows were furrowed into the shape of "chuan".

"Hey..." Finally, the old village chief looked at the people on both sides and said, "You guys, just ask your family to pack some bedding and live in the ancestral hall at night! Don't share the same room with those living dead."

Lin Muyang He smiled, his big eyes sparkling, and he was very satisfied with the result.

"Let's go," Gu Shiqing said proactively. Those people had already started shouting, so there was no need to stay and argue with them.

"Yeah!" Lin Mu nodded, holding Gu Shiqing with one hand, and pulling Zhi Geer out from the crowd with the other hand. Zhi Geer was followed by Tang Jiang, and the four of them went back together.

Today, the turmoil has been resolved. As for the old village chief going to Aunt Zhou's house to explain this matter, they will not follow him.

After returning home, the two of them drank a large bowl of cold water first. After just tossing it, they were so thirsty on such a hot day.

Looking at those people, they probably still had to work hard, so the two planned to go to the fields to help in the afternoon.

Gu Shiqing fanned Lin Mu with a fan while telling Lin Mu what he had seen in the county.

Lin Mu was sometimes confused and sometimes his eyes widened. He was fascinated by what he heard. His expression was lively and cute. Gu Shiqing couldn't help but want to kiss him.

But Lin Mu was already thinking about another thing.

"According to what you said, if the city gates in the county are opened and inner walls are built, wouldn't all the living dead be scattered out?"

He said with a bitter face, "If the living dead in the county are running around, wouldn't they also come to us?" Come from the village?"

"Can our village be protected?"

"You are right." Gu Shiqing also thought of this. The wooden walls in the village are not strong, and there are only a few living dead here. , if the people in the county disperse, then I'm afraid...

"So, let's..."

"Let's..."

"Let's move!" Lin Mu said it first with a smile.

"Okay!" Gu Shiqing also had this intention.

This time the forest was in danger, which scared him half to death. It would be better to move to a new house. At least it would be blocked by two walls and a trap, so he would feel more at ease.

In addition, it will be his turn for the patrol team to be on duty in a few days, leaving only Mumu and Xiao Le's brother Zhou Fulang at home.

They just did what they said, and they had to go to the fields in the afternoon, so the two of them took action immediately.

Lin Mu first called Mr. Zhou and asked him to pack his baggage before looking at brother Xiao Le.

Gu Shiqing and I packed and moved things.

Gu Shiqing moved the jars in the kitchen, the square table in the hall, etc. to the yard, and Lin Mu packed up the clothes and bedding of the three of them, as well as some small items.

Gu Shiqing didn't use the space. This was all on the surface, just to show the people in the village.

He loaded the jars and other large objects into the donkey cart and hurriedly took them to the new house.

Zhang Hanzi saw this and wanted to help, but Gu Shiqing didn't let him go and only asked him to guard the door. If he saw the villagers, he would tell them that Lin Mu's family had moved.

Brother Xiao Le was being held by Mr. Zhou, looking at all this with big eyes, "Aren't we going to live here anymore?"

He liked it here and he didn't want to move away.

Lin Mu was putting clothes and baggage on the donkey cart. After hearing this, he came over and knelt down and looked at Brother Lele apologetically, "Lele, we are moving this time to live a better life."

"Little uncle Promise you, will you move back if you have the chance?"

Brother Xiao Le seemed to understand, but when he heard the three words "move back" at the end, he immediately raised his face and said loudly: "Okay!"

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Mu smiled and touched his soft hair.

Lele, uncle promises you that no matter where you are, he will work hard to make you grow up happily.

Thinking that he and Gu Shiqing had been busy lately and had less time to spend with their children, Lin Mu planned to finish moving and harvesting wheat to spend time with brother Xiao Le.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing moved back and forth three or four times and finally packed up all the commonly used things.

The old village chief finally persuaded those people and led a few men to carry Aunt Zhou to her house.

"Old man Zhou! Old man Zhou!"

A trembling voice came, "Help...save me!"

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels for reading!

Chapter 53 Changes

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing took Brother Xiao Le to have their first lunch at their new home.

Mr. Zhou brought out his signature dishes, grass carp stewed in soy sauce, the fish was fresh and tender, salty and fragrant, braised pig's trotters, eight immortal soup, stir-fried vegetable leaves, etc., and steamed multigrain rice, which several people ate deliciously. Among them, Lin Mu and Xiao Le love the bowl of Eight Immortals Soup, which is stewed with eight kinds of fresh mushrooms and wild vegetables. It tastes really refreshing and nourishing.

After the meal, Brother Xiao Le looked curiously at the big house, playing happily in the yard, looking at the sheep, cows, chickens and ducks at home. Of course, he did not forget his big rabbit, and he was reluctant to part with it. It faded a lot all of a sudden.

There is so much fun in the new home!

Brother Xiaole sucked his fingers and fell asleep sweetly on the small bed.

This bed was originally a small wooden bed that Gu Shiqing made specially and moved here together.

Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, Lin Mu gently closed the door and came to the yard.

Gu Shiqing had just inspected the house carefully again and thought there was no problem.

Seeing him coming out, he walked up and took Lin Mu's hand, "How is it? Are Lele adapting?"

"Slept well!" Lin Mu laughed, this is a good thing.

The two of them walked into the main room and had dinner. Mr. Zhang went to the outer courtyard to take care of the livestock. Only Mr. Zhou stood with his hands down, with bundles piled at his feet, waiting for their orders.

"You can live in the outer courtyard," Lin Mu ordered. "It was the one next to Zhang Hanzi's house when we came here just now."

"Yes, my boss." Mr. Zhou responded.

"When I came here, it was the same as before. I did laundry, cooking, and watching some music when it was inconvenient for me. The rest was up to you. But if you have something to do, go out and tell me."

"How about..." Lin Mu pondered, "Outer courtyard There is also a kitchen, where you and Mr. Zhang will fire in the outer courtyard from now on, and there is a warehouse in the backyard for food and other things.

Lin Mu doesn't think that Mr. Zhou is bad, but he sees that Mr. Zhou is still so respectful after coming for a while, and wants to come and have a meal alone. On the contrary , he felt more at ease .

This time, Mr. Zhou actually showed a faint smile.

After giving the instructions, Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing packed up the donkey cart and headed to the fields.

It was better to take a donkey cart on a hot day.

The two of them went to the field, drove the donkey cart to the shade of a tree, grabbed a handful of purple grass for the donkey, poured a jar of water, and went to the field together carrying the sickle

in the scorching sun . , working mechanically, and soon beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Gu Shiqing looked at Lin Mu's sweaty forehead and felt reluctant, wanting to tell him to take a rest, but it was hard to tell when he looked at his concentration

. Brother came wearing a straw hat and solved Gu Shiqing's problem,

"Mumu, you guys are moving! "

"Um. "Lin Mu turned around and nodded.

"Why didn't you call me? "He didn't believe it when he heard the villagers say it on the way here! Who knew that Mumu had moved it without saying a word! Brother Zhi pouted.

"How about you take Mr. Tang to your house for a walk? Gu Shiqing said from the side, "Let's see if Lele wakes up. Go back and stay with him. We just moved!" "

"All right. "Lin Mu agreed. Shi Qing's words were reasonable. Lele had just moved in and the child was afraid of strangers. It would be good for him to go back and have a look.

Lin Mu took Zhi Geer on his arm and went home. Gu Shiqing and the Li brothers worked hard. , went back after dark.

A hot meal was waiting for him. After the three of them finished eating, they rested in the yard on the bamboo chair made by Gu Shiqing. Lin Mu held Brother Xiao Le in his arms and pointed.

Gu Shiqing looked at all this with a smile. After

a while, Brother Xiao Le felt a little sleepy and stretched out his short little fingers to rub his eyes. Lin Mu took him back to the house. Inside, he was coaxed to sleep.

Gu Shiqing was looking up at the moon. This was what Lin Mu saw when he came back.

What was he thinking?

Gu

Shiqing turned to see Lin Mu and held him gently . Looking at the gleaming face under the moonlight, Gu Shiqing couldn't help but kiss the rosy lips.

He was not thinking about anything at this moment

.

In this situation, with his lover and children by his side, there was nothing more suitable than kissing.

After the madness that had not happened for a long time,

Lin Mu lay sweating in Gu Shiqing's arms, thinking about what he had done, and couldn't help but kick him. , "The bath was in vain! snort! It's like a dog holding a meat bone in its mouth! "

Gu Shiqing had just satiated and was feeling very happy. He leaned forward with a shy face and said, "Good husband, I just love this fleshy bone of yours. "

As he spoke, his eyes glanced down maliciously.

"I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand it anymore! Lin Mu pushed him, "Don't look blindly!" "

"good! Listen to the husband, and the husband may tell the younger ones. "Gu Shiqing agreed happily.

"I want to drink water! Lin Mu ordered him.

Gu Shiqing went to pour him a glass of warm water, boiled water to scrub him, and massaged his whole body, which relieved Lin Mu's body aches a lot.

Looking at Gu Shiqing's low body, Acting small, Lin Mu was satisfied, stretched out his hand and patted the empty space next to him, "Come up!

"Okay! " "Gu Shiqing responded deliberately, and sure enough he saw a smile blooming on Lin Mu's face.

He skillfully got on the bed and held Lin Mu in his arms, and the two fell asleep together.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! "

"Dongjiadongjia!" "

It seemed that not long after he had slept, Gu Shiqing was awakened by a knock on the door.

Lin Mu was still asleep.

Gu Shiqing carefully got out of bed, put on a robe and walked out.

The sky was slightly bright, and the knock on the door was still there. Continue.

"Master! Boss! "

Hanzi Zhang?"

Gu Shiqing asked through the inner gate of the courtyard: "What's going on so early?"

"My boss, Mr. Tang and his husband are here! " "

Tang Jiang?

"Hurry! Open the door and let them in! "Gu Shiqing ordered.

He opened the door and chased Hanzi Zhang toward the outer door.

Could something have happened?

"Brother Gu! "

As soon as the door opened, Tang Jiang led Brother Zhi and walked over quickly.

"It's better to let my husband stay at your house first. The two-story courtyard wall of your house is safer. " Tang Jiang looked sincere, knowing that Brother Zhi was not as lively as before, and his face was a little pale.

"What happened? "Gu Shiqing wondered.

"Why, you don't know? " Tang Jiang was surprised.

"Hey! Five of the dozen or so people you insisted on locking up yesterday became the living dead! ""

The village chief's son quietly released them home last night! " Tang Jiang stomped his feet in hatred.

"It is said that it changed at night. It bites people again this time. Now I can't tell. There are still living dead wandering outside! "

"When I got up in the morning, Zhizhi opened the door and saw someone standing outside." Tang Jiang looked at Zhige with pity. His husband was very frightened.

"I plan to go to the patrol team to help, but my husband has no choice but to come and ask your family for protection."

"It's okay, come in quickly, just keep Mumu company." Gu Shiqing quickly turned sideways to make way for him, "Don't be so polite. If you want, you go in with your husband, and I'll go back and change my clothes and go to the patrol with you."

Gu Shiqing made a quick decision to go see what was going on outside.

When Gu Shiqing returned to the inner room, Lin Mu was still sleeping. He shook Lin Mu awake and said to make a long story short, "There seems to be something wrong outside. Tang Jiang and I will go take a look. You and Lin Zhi stay at home. Don't go out until I come back. Don't open the door for anyone to come!"

After saying that, he hurriedly changed his clothes and left.

Lin Mu was shaken awake in a daze. Hearing what he said, he was startled and half asleep. "Be careful!" Lin Mu chased him to the outer door and ordered.

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels for reading!

It's the weekend tomorrow!

Have a great weekend everyone! hey-hey!

Chapter 54 Rejection

As soon as Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang went out, they were met by two zombies swaying over.

The two held sticks, one looked at each other, one hit the back of the head, the other hit the knee, and they were dispatched with a "slap". Tang Jiang quickly tied their hands and dragged them forward.

The noise here disturbed other zombies. Gu Shiqing looked at the zombies coming from all directions and frowned, "Is it the same when you came here?"

Tang Jiang smiled bitterly, "It's better than this. I guess everyone is up now. There has been a lot of noise, and there is no telling if any of the slow limbs will be bitten."

Listening to the noise coming from his ears, Gu Shiqing knew that Tang Jiang was not telling lies.

It's really seeking death!

Zombies can't break into the door, so just hide, why are you shouting?

The two of them cooperated to deal with the zombies that rushed towards them, while walking towards the ancestral hall.

Gu Shiqing glanced at the zombies that were scattered on the ground and couldn't move when they came here. "This won't work. We have to go back and get the donkey cart out."

There were more than a dozen of them, and they only had four hands, so they had to be careful. How to drag zombies on the road?

"Go over there first, and let's find someone to drag him there." Tang Jiang suggested.

Gu Shiqing agreed.

The two of them eliminated the zombies as they moved forward. Most of the houses in the village they passed had their doors tightly closed. Those who saw them in the courtyard rushed to them and eagerly asked them to get rid of the living dead at the door.

"Yes!" Gu Shiqing sighed and walked over, knocking the zombie wandering at the door to the ground with a slap. He waved away without paying attention to people shouting from behind to move the zombie on the ground at the door.

It's good that he helped them solve the problem, but they also asked him to move? There is no such time as this!

Passing by the field, there were a few zombies scattered among the wheat bushes. From a distance, it seemed that there were several men working together to deal with one. Although they looked a little cautious, it was good to overcome the inner fear and take the first step.

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang didn't care about them. There weren't many zombies in the wheat field anyway, so it was good for them to practice their skills.

"Your husband is very skilled. Last time he defeated a living dead single-handedly. Why don't you let my husband learn from you tomorrow?" Tang Jiang suddenly mentioned. He also looked at a few men in the field before he remembered that Lin Mu was better than them last time. It's awesome!

He would feel more at ease if Brother Zhi could learn a trick or two.

"Okay! No problem! My husband will definitely be willing, don't worry." Gu Shiqing nodded. He was confident that he could protect Lin Mu, but he also hoped that Lin Mu could protect himself. Tang Jiang's thinking made him impressed. Not many husbands think about their husbands like this.

Not to mention this, there were husbands who did not support their wives' careers in the past.

Lin Mu and Zhi Geer were already taking action on the issues they were talking about.

Lin Mu said goodbye to Gu Shiqing, frowning and dragging the pale-faced Zhi Geer back to the inner courtyard.

"Zhizhi, don't worry too much, Brother Tang..." Before Lin Mu finished his words of comfort, Zhi Geer, who had his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and stared at Lin Mu with bright eyes.

"Mumu! Please teach me!"

Huh?

What to teach?

Lin Mu was confused.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Brother Zhi became anxious, "It's the same trick as last time!"

"The trick you used to defeat the living dead in one go!"

"I want to learn it too!"

"I know why Brother Tang asked me to come here. Protect me, but! But I also want to help!"

"Even if I'm useless and can't help, I can at least reassure Brother Tang."

Brother Zhi looked at Lin Mu pitifully.

Lin Mu held his forehead, Zhizhi had never done any heavy work since he was a child. He was different from the other guys like him. He had thin arms and legs. Can he handle it?

He sweated a lot while practicing with his husband.

Brother Tang is very skilled, and besides, he can also protect Brother Zhi.

Zhi Ge'er couldn't wait for a reply, so he grabbed Lin Mu's sleeve, "Mu Mu! Please teach me!"

However, looking at Zhi Ge'er in front of him, "This... you have to endure hardship, you, you..."

"I Yes! I can! I'm not afraid of hardship!" Before Lin Mu finished speaking, Zhi Geer nodded quickly.

"Okay... Okay."

Lin Mu didn't resist Brother Zhi.

"Then let's get started." Brother Zhi couldn't wait.

"Eat breakfast first," Lin Mu stopped, "After eating, let's practice together."

Lin Mu recalled how Gu Shiqing taught him.

Xianggong said that he should start with physical training. He himself has good physical fitness and passed Xianggong's level within a few days of training.

But Brother Zhi, Lin Mu is in trouble, and he may have to wait a little longer.

He told Brother Zhi about this, and he might not be able to learn it in as short a time as he could.

In this regard, Brother Zhi is very open-minded.

"I know, I'm not as strong as Mumu. It's okay. I can just practice slowly. Whatever you say will be whatever you say."

"Okay."

Having decided at that moment, Lin Mu and Zhi Geer changed into long sleeves and trousers and came to the outer courtyard. , "Let's run around the inside of the outer wall first."

"Follow me." Lin Mu took steps, leaned inside and started to circle.

Zhi Ge'er was weaker, so Lin Mu slowed down his pace slightly, and Zhi Ge'er immediately followed him. The two of them didn't speak a word and just ran wholeheartedly.

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang also arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Two men were guarding the living dead nearby. When they saw the two of them, they opened the door and let them in.

This was the first time for Gu Shiqing to enter an ancestral hall in the village. The wall was actually higher than theirs and made of blue bricks. It was probably expensive.

The yard is also large, and it can accommodate hundreds of people without any problem.

The old village chief was giving orders in the yard. His son did something like that, and he saw that Gu Shiqing and the others were not embarrassed at all.

On the way, Gu Shiqing guessed that this was the work of the old village chief. He wanted a bowl of water to be smooth, so he told his face to lock up those people, and then tacitly agreed to his son to let them go at night. Now it seems that it is true. .

As a result, things turned out like this. Gu Shiqing sneered inwardly. They had defeated less than twenty zombies along the way alone!

These are all villagers!

Nowadays, many people stay at home and dare not come out. After they finish cleaning up the outside, the relatives of those zombies are likely to start a fight!

The old village chief was also anxious!

He wanted to sell both sides well, but who knew those people would become the living dead!

If it weren't for his sharp eyesight and quick hands, he would immediately call the whole family to hide in the ancestral hall when he noticed something was wrong outside. What if the living dead broke into the house now?

But after what happened, their family can no longer be the only one in this ancestral hall.

He felt aggrieved in his heart, but still had a smile on his face.

Almost all the men who were still listening to him are here. He arranged for some of them to patrol the village as usual, and the other group of two to go from house to house to count people. If they want to stay at home, they can stay at home. If they want to hide in the ancestral hall, they can pack some food. Come to the ancestral hall with those who are drunk, and those who are injured should not come. He is afraid!

As for Gu Shiqing, the old village chief glanced at him and saw that he was a useful person, but he was also arrogant.

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang listened to the old village chief's arrangements and watched the men leave after being ordered, but they did not move.

He still knew how to remedy it, Gu Shiqing thought to himself, but he just didn't listen to others' advice and wanted to fool him.

Just as they were thinking about it, the old village chief came towards them with a smile on his face, "Boy Gu, boy Tang, you two are very skilled, how about leading them?"

"They still want to practice with you."

Gu Shiqing didn't . Make a sound.

Tang Jiang only said lightly: "The village chief's words are serious, and we are nothing."

He still did not give up, "Everyone in the village saw your bravery yesterday. I'm afraid it's not good to be quiet now." "

It was okay if he didn't mention yesterday, but Gu Shiqing laughed in anger when he mentioned it. What? Even if I can't say anything from the front, I'll still be kidnapped by morality!

There are so many zombies today and they still have the nerve to come to me?

Judging from the situation when Shi Qing came to take care of him, there were no more than a hundred people in the village. It wouldn't take two hours to attract him and deal with them.

But he just doesn't want to!

Let him get angry in a hurry!

Gu Shiqingpi said with a smile: "The village chief promoted me, but I don't have the ability! Who knows how many more people will be arrested tomorrow!"

"I'd better ask your son to show off his power!"

"My husband is still here!" Waiting for me to go back for dinner! Say goodbye!" After saying that, he walked out, and Tang Jiang followed him.

The old village chief's smile froze on his face, wrinkled like dried orange peel.

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels for reading!

Chapter 55 Solution

Gu Shiqing didn't care how embarrassed the old village chief was being left there, so he walked back.

Tang Jiang also felt that what the old village chief did was not very honest. He asked the two of them to take the lead in wiping his son's misdeeds, but he did not do it and followed Gu Shiqing to his house. Anyway, he saw that there were dozens of men out just now, so they would have no problem dealing with those zombies.

After returning home, Lin Mu and the others ran out and touched the two men left and right. Gu Shiqing let them go, but Tang Jiang made a huge blush.

The two husbands were finally relieved, and the four of them sat together in the main room to chat about business. Mr. Zhou made grass tea and presented them with a plate of small shortbreads and grass cakes to pacify their bellies. Neither Gu Shiqing nor Tang Jiang had breakfast, but after all the hard work, they were already hungry and it was too late. They told Mr. Zhou to stop working and just prepare lunch.

Mr. Zhou seemed to be standing there without moving, with his head lowered as if he had something to say that was hard to say.

Lin Mu saw it and asked him, "Just ask if you have anything. No one else is around, so it's okay."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou knelt on the ground with a "pop" and begged, "My boss, my boss, I heard The county is in trouble. Please let me go. My children are still in the county! Please

bring them back as soon as I find them! I beg them to work for me when they are older! It's over!" Mr. Zhou was crying and kowtowing as if he was desperate.

Gu Shiqing shook his head. With the situation in the county, he was a helpless husband. It would be great if he could come back alive! Not to mention finding someone!

When Mr. Zhou saw this, his heart was filled with despair and he couldn't help lying on the ground and crying.

Lin Mu glared at him, why did he hit him like this? Mr. Zhou's life was not easy.

He softened his voice, and together with Brother Zhi, they helped him up, sat on the chair next to him, and said slowly: "Don't cry yet. It's not that my husband doesn't want you to go. It's because you were born in the county." I'm not familiar with him, let alone looking for someone. It would be nice if he could come back with everything intact."

Mr. Zhou stopped crying, silently weeping, and said calmly: "Master, I know everything, but I, but I..."

" My husband-in-law has someone he knows well in the county. It's better to ask him to help you inquire than to run around like a headless chicken." Lin Mu thought of Wang Xi. The last time his husband-in-law came back, he said that Wang Xi was leading his brothers. It's better to keep doing what you're doing and ask them to help you.

Gu Shiqing and Lin Mu thought of one place, and also said: "Don't worry, I will go to the county in a few days to ask for help. My brother knows a lot of people, so you can stay calm and find the child." I have the energy to take care of you."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou quickly got down from his chair and kowtowed to the ground, "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"

After he kowtowed, he stood up and took the plate to clean up. It's time to eat.

"Hey..." Lin Mu and Zhi Geer looked at each other and sighed.

Although Lin Mu bought Zhou's husband, he didn't beat or scold him, and he still respected him. Seeing him so anxious for the child, both of them felt uncomfortable because they were both husbands.

Fortunately, Gu Shiqing diverted their attention with what he had just witnessed.

Hearing him say that there were so many living dead today, both of them were indignant. Lin Mu's little face was filled with anger, "Why should I let you take the lead? Why do you have anything to do with the village?"

"That's why I didn't go, "Gu Shiqing smiled and spread his hands, "And they can solve this problem."

Tang Jiang also nodded and took Brother Zhi's hand that was so angry that he slapped the table in his hand, "Don't be angry, let's think about what's next. "Okay."

Gu Shiqing said, "There is still wheat in the field that has been confiscated. This is easy to handle. We can just call the Li brothers to harvest it together. After harvesting the wheat and having enough food, we don't have to worry about it. We can let them cause trouble." , let's stay at home safely."

"Yes," Lin Mu nodded, "That's what I mean, we have livestock in the yard and there is also open space, we can grow some vegetables together."

"Let's go in the afternoon." Lin Mu then said, "Brother Tang, Shi Qing, let's go to the fields together three afternoons. Zhizhi, you can stay at my house. It's safer."

"Ah? Are you going to leave me alone?" Zhi Geer quit.

"Now we have to harvest wheat and at the same time guard against the living dead. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it if Brother Tang and Shi Qing go." Lin Mu explained to him.

Brother Zhi pouted and said nothing.

I am still dragging them down, he said a little gloomily.

"Mumu, why don't you go and stay at home with Mr. Tang. Brother Tang and I can keep busy."

"Ah? No! I have to go." This time it was Lin Mu's turn to be unhappy.

Brother Zhi helped, "Let's go together. Let's go together."

"Mr. Gu, I have one more thing to trouble you." Tang Jiang suddenly spoke.

"I saw you were very agile last time, and I wanted to ask you to teach Zhi Zhi."

"It's too late for you," Zhi Ge'er smiled proudly, "Mu Mu already took me to practice this morning!"

Oh?

Gu Shiqing turned to look at Lin Mu. Lin Mu pursed his lips and smiled, nodding to his husband.

"In that case, how about you practice together in the courtyard for a few days and then help?" Gu Shiqing suggested.

As expected, it received Tang Jiang's approval and Lin Mu and Zhi Geer's rebuttal.

The four of you advised him and I advised you, and finally decided to go out together.

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang harvested wheat, while Zhi Geer stood sentry and Lin Mu maneuvered. When Zhi Geer saw the living dead nearby, he would call Lin Mu. Lin Mu would deal with the scattered ones. If the number was large, the two of them would take action together.

Now, everyone is satisfied.

Lin Mu and Zhi Geer participated as they wished. Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang felt that the allocation was appropriate and the two husbands' tasks were not heavy.

In the afternoon, the four of them packed up and went out together.

The sun is so intense that you need to wear long sleeves and long trousers, and the cuffs of your trousers and legs must be tightened to prevent them from being scratched by blades of grass. Lin Mu brought four more straw hats for them to wear, and four large water bags to carry around his waist. He led the donkey cart and went together.

As soon as I went out, I felt that the noise outside was louder than in the morning. Men in groups of three and five were waving wooden sticks at the living dead. The village seemed to come alive.

When we got to the field again, the Li brothers were already there.

Facing Lin Mu's surprise, they could only smile bitterly. They had no choice. Lin Mu's family did not rely on farm work to make a living. Their family was reliable! The days of the year are just these few days, even if there is a knife from the sky, it will come!

At first, they were a little afraid of the living dead, but the two young men became more determined and now they are very skilled in dealing with them.

Without much talking, everyone started to work.

The four men waved their scythes, and the forest trees moved the piles they cut into the donkey cart. They had just agreed to send them to the large open space outside their home to dry them. Zhi Geer watched the four directions. Listening to all directions, while working together with Lin Mu, two men piled up a car and sent it to Lin Mu's house to unload it. The four men took turns.

Fortunately, there were other men in the field, and everyone was on guard. It was rare for someone to slip through the net and come to Lin Mu.

However, after working for more than an hour, Lin Mu's forehead was wet, and the donkey, who had made four trips back and forth, was breathing heavily and looked extremely tired.

No matter how tiring the work was, we still had to do it. Everyone took off their water bags and drank water vigorously. After resting for a while, they bent over and worked hard again.

Gu Shiqing finally realized the hard work of the farmer uncle. His harvest in the space before was much simpler than this. He just pointed with his fingers and didn't even have to bend down.

They were busy until the sun went down before they stopped working. The Li brothers had to work all night, but Gu Shiqing advised, "It's dark at night, and it will be troublesome if there are living dead people who can't see clearly." Then they rested their minds and thought about

Lin Mu, who was tired when he went back . After a deep sleep, Gu Shiqing had no thoughts at all.

They slept peacefully, but they didn't know that there was no peace in the ancestral hall.

Many families come to the ancestral hall with blankets and food when a man comes to inquire about it. Everyone knows that the ancestral hall walls are strong, but they still come even if no one asks them.

With so many people crowded in the yard, chatting, children crying, and some men still patrolling outside, the family was worried, and disputes were inevitable.

The old village chief had a guilty conscience and was afraid that people would think of his son, so he couldn't comfort him properly. This comfort was really running from home to home, exhausted, and the old man was very tired!

The next day, the four of them met in the fields in the morning and worked as hard as yesterday.

Lin Mu's family had asked Mr. Zhou and Zhang Hanzi to spread the wheat harvested yesterday on the open ground to dry in the sun, so they were not worried.

The situation in the village has gotten much better after this day. The chance of seeing zombies while walking on the road is very small. At least one of the trees was killed throughout the day.

Many husbands, aunts, elderly people, and children dared to go out, and there were more busy figures in the fields.

Maybe they thought that there was strength in numbers, so the whole family would work in the fields together, so that they would have help whether they were working in the fields or encountering the living dead.

However, at night, there were not many people in the ancestral hall, and many people were still worried!

Still lying on the ground and looking at the high courtyard wall, they felt at ease. Many people had made up their minds to save money to rebuild the courtyard after waiting for this.

At this time, someone remembered Gu Shiqing.

"If you ask me, this young boy has the foresight!"

"That's right! That courtyard wall is afraid of the living dead!"

"I can lie comfortably at home now!"

"We uncles and aunts are not invited either." This is There is jealousy.

"You're stupid! Who are your relatives, Mr. Gu?"

"Isn't there that Lin Mu! My grandfather's third aunt and his grandfather's aunt are sisters-in-law!" The man was still dissatisfied and insisted on the relationship. .

"Haha! I'm crazy about living in a big yard!" The people nearby were laughing, not counting distant relatives like this in their Shangxi Village.

"Quiet, quiet!" the old village chief said, "Our patrol team needs to rearrange manpower, I'm here to tell everyone."

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing were not in the ancestral hall and did not hear these words, but they would know the next day the result of the arrangement.

"Ah? It's my turn to patrol today?" Gu Shiqing opened a crack in the outer courtyard door and asked the visitor.

Did he remember that it wasn't his turn yet?

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels for reading!

Chapter 56 Tranquility

Gu Shiqing was confused.

According to the previous order, it is not his turn to patrol. After all, there are still many men in the village.

After hearing the visitor's explanation, he sneered inwardly.

Yesterday, I rejected the old village chief's request and it was my turn to rearrange the patrol team. The reason was that someone was taking care of the fields at home!

Why, there is no price for renting land to others!

Close the door and make a plan with Lin Mu, yes! Better go!

Firstly, it is true that he has never been on patrol until now. The old village chief chose families with more men this time, probably because of the work in the fields. Secondly, many men worked hard yesterday, and let him They should take a break.

Having made this decision, after drinking a bowl of hot white porridge and eating two large soft cornmeal steamed buns, along with crisp pickled radish, pickled cucumbers and other side dishes, Gu Shiqing wiped his mouth and pretended to go out with a wooden stick. He was carrying a water bag and wore a big straw hat on his head.

"When the sun gets hot, find a place to hide!" Lin Mu warned him. He couldn't bear the scorching sun.

"Okay, I understand, you can go back." Gu Shiqing nodded and responded.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Wu Laoer had already arrived. He was the captain of Gu Shiqing's team.

During the day, their team of four people were responsible for patrolling the southwest corner of the village. There were also four people in each of the other four directions: northwest, northeast, and southeast.

There is a shift every two days, one during the day and one at night. Having learned the lesson from the day before, we were afraid of the living dead wandering around the village in the morning, so we also arranged patrols at night.

This patrol is neither tiring nor tiring, just walk around the wooden wall in the village, pick up any fallen wood and repair it, or beat up the living dead nearby. They don't have to take responsibility in the village, there is naturally a patrol team inside. Tube.

But I'm tired even though I'm tired, there's nothing else to do, let's just bask in the sun!

Gu Shiqing was wearing long-sleeved trousers and a big straw hat, and was chatting with each other. He felt like the sun was scorching hot, and the sweat on his body seemed to have evaporated, not to mention Wu Laoer, who was only wearing a vest. ? As everyone walked, they unconsciously walked under the shade of the trees.

Fortunately, Lin Mu brought cold noodles. Lin Mu started busy after Gu Shiqing left. First, Brother Zhi came to run circles with him. The two of them were so tired that their faces turned red. After resting for a while, Lin Mu went to the fields again. Help, come back at noon to make lunch and send it to Gu Shiqing.

He frowned when he saw Zhou Fulang frying the fried pork slices. Big meat is good, but how can he eat it in such oil at noon? After thinking about it, Lin Mu kneaded the noodles and cut them into thin slices, cooked them and hung them on the table. After soaking in the well to cool down, he took a piece of bacon and cut it into thin shreds, poured it with pickled cucumber, vinegar, sesame oil, and hot pepper, and brought it to Gu Shiqing.

Gu Shiqing took a sip, which really chilled her heart.

"Mumu! Your craftsmanship is so good!" Gu Shiqing smiled. Next to him, Mr. Wu watched Gu Shiqing enjoying his meal and joined in the fun. "Brother Gu, you are really married to a good husband. Ah!"

"That's right!" Gu Shiqing was not shy at all, and he was still counting Lin Mu's advantages. He wanted to tell them how good his husband was and how much he cared about him!

Lin Mu, on the other hand, felt embarrassed, but he was just like any other husband, so why did my husband praise me so powerfully here?

Lin Mu lived a regular life. He got up in the morning and ran laps with Brother Zhi, and sometimes brought Brother Le with him. After breakfast, he sometimes went to work in the fields, and sometimes planted seeds in the open space in the outer courtyard. Vegetables, and take a look at the livestock at home. Zhang Hanzi was in charge of the livestock, so nothing happened, but Lin Mu was still trying his best to check it every day.

If Gu Shiqing was patrolling during the day, he would make some cold noodles and bring some purified water for lunch. He would change the toppings every day. Bacon, white meat with garlic paste, and braised pork were all delicious. He even killed a man. A chicken and two ducks were stewed in chicken soup and mixed with shredded chicken, which made the men on the team jealous to death. During the night patrol, Gu Shiqing wouldn't let him go. After all, it was night, so he went out after eating. When he came back in the morning, he drank some cold porridge and went to bed to catch up on his sleep.

After patrolling for seventeen days, Wu Laoer, who was in the same team, had lost a lot of weight. Gu Shiqing was surprised that he had not lost any weight at all! Still so tall and handsome!

Lin Mu was very satisfied.

He just likes his husband like this. He won't look good if he's dark and thin!

Seventeen days later, the wheat was almost harvested, sun-dried, and ground. The Li brothers carried sacks and delivered them to the Lin Mu family as agreed. Gu Shiqing had some free time after moving to the warehouse.

After patrolling for so many days, he could finally take a vacation.

It's just that the pressure will probably be greater for those who come next.

Gu Shiqing's face turned a little gloomy. There had been more and more zombies in the past few days. The three rooms next to the ancestral hall were full of zombies. The old village chief had already begun to vacate new rooms.

I'm afraid many zombies in the county have begun to wander around.

The wheat has just been harvested in the village, and there are still some days left before planting. It would be better not to wander around, but to just stay safely in the protective circle of the patrol.

However, Gu Shiqing planned to go to the county to find Wang Xi. One is to promise Mr. Zhou something, and the other is to go see how things are going.

What he didn't expect was that while he was still thinking about which day to set off, Wang Xi came first, and actually brought more than a dozen people, large and small!

Gu Shiqing was shocked. There were men from the labor force team that he was familiar with. Where were the rest? Are the elderly and children the family members of laborers?

Wang Xi met Gu Shiqing's puzzled eyes and smiled bitterly, "I can't work anymore in the county, so I have to bring everyone to join you."

"How is the situation in the county?" Gu Shiqing asked with concern.

"No," Wang Xi shook his head. "The space inside the wall is not big, and it couldn't be built much at that time. Now there are more and more people. It is said that there are people coming from other counties, and the streets are almost full."

"There are many people, there is little land, and there is no land to plant. How do you think life is?"

"How much food is left?" Gu Shiqing suddenly asked the key point.

"Who knows?" Wang Xi laughed at himself, "How do we, a humble citizen like us, know? I only know that the entrance fee to the city is too much now."

I'm afraid it is indeed a bit stressful. Gu Shiqing's heart sank. If there is no food in the county, what will happen? Should we collect it from a nearby village? This year's grain tax hasn't been paid yet! Although it is supposed to be due in autumn, if the superiors urge it earlier, what can you do?

"What about you?"

"I, it's hard to explain. My job has been taken away. These are the only people who are willing to follow me."

Wang Xi introduced the people he brought to Gu Shiqing. In addition to the men and family members who followed him, The others were brought along by the poor people who saw them not running around along the way!

"High righteousness!" Gu Shiqing praised, "I'm not as good as you."

"What's the point? I have to ask for it on your head."

"You can live in my two mud-tile houses, but I don't think this yard is enough. Let's see if we can vacate another room." Gu Shiqing said, "There is one thing to say. I can't help you for the rest of your life. If you want to have enough food, you still have to cultivate the land yourself."

"Two rooms are enough. I know you don't have to worry about your yard anymore." Wang Xi said with a smile, "That's why I came here! Farming is good, and I can do whatever it takes to get enough food."

After deciding this matter, Gu Shiqing led them. Go to the mud house, go back to the house and get some bedding, fabrics, etc. to send over. Fortunately, it's summer, so it's okay, but it would be troublesome in winter.

Wang Xi couldn't help but thank him, "You two are so kind."

Lin Mu smiled and waved his hand, he was just a little help.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 57 Harvesting Grain

Gu Shiqing settled the people brought by Wang Xi into a mud house, and also sent two big bags of corn and picked wild vegetables, which he had bought when he was stocking up on supplies. He thought they would be delicious when mixed with other grains, so he gave them to him now. They use it as staple food to fill their stomachs. No matter how big a family he is, he can't feed more than ten people with white flour and rice every day.

Going back in the evening, Gu Shiqing and Lin Mu lay on bamboo chairs in the yard, enjoying the cool breeze, and took stock of their inventory.

Not much rice and flour were consumed during this period, the meat was stewed before, and the livestock only killed one chicken and two ducks. There had just been another good harvest of white flour. Half of his space was planted with herbs and the other half with rice, sweet potatoes, etc. After harvesting twice, he stored them together and put them on the bridge where he could keep them forever.

So in the next few days, not to mention good food, there will definitely be nothing to do to feed those people until the autumn harvest.

Of course, Lin Mu felt that the donation could not be in vain, and those people had to help with the work.

Gu Shiqing nodded, that's for sure.

"But we have to let them tidy up their place first." Gu Shiqing suggested.

There is only one bed in his house, so many people can only make do with it. Now in the hot summer, men can still sleep on the floor. What if the wind blows?

The next day, Gu Shiqing was leisurely at home reading medical books with Lin Mu, when Wang Xi came to discuss the matter with him. He originally planned to take a break and then go to cultivate the wasteland, but then he thought that if this didn't work, he would first settle the place where he lived.

He wanted to convert the main room into a bedroom. The mud-tile house had only two rooms except the kitchen. The side room was allocated to the man. The main room was separated by a curtain, and the husband and aunt slept on each side. He had already measured and calculated, and it was almost done. All he needed now was Gu Shiqing's approval, and he would be able to go to the mountains to chop down trees and build a wooden bed in no time.

Of course, Gu Shiqing had nothing to say. Their family had the place where they lived now and the original blue brick house, so it was no big deal for them to live in a mud-tile house.

Lin Mu was afraid that Gu Shiqing would not be able to speak, so he asked Wang Xi for help.

Wang Xi agreed wholeheartedly and agreed to send two people to take turns to take care of them every day after they finished cleaning up the house.

Now the young couple are free.

The wheat has been harvested, and there is no need for the patrol to go. Although there have been more and more living dead recently, the young men in the team can still withstand it.

As a result, the two of them were very uncomfortable at home.

Lin Mu studied medical books carefully and had already memorized a herbal book. Gu Shiqing pulled out the existing medicinal materials in the space and showed them to him. Theory and practice were combined. After laying a solid foundation, Lin Mu studied prescriptions and treatments for specific illnesses. The examples in the book were vivid, but he was still talking on paper, and no patients came to him.

The most disgusting thing is that Gu Shiqing clearly promised to study hard with him, but he flirted with him from time to time. The two of them forgot about the book together as they looked at it.

With his body sticky and wet, Lin Mu watched Gu Shiqing blow out the candles and take off his shoes to go to bed. He felt unhappy. He hadn't finished reciting the prescriptions he wanted to memorize today!

Gu Shiqing looked at him amusedly complaining about himself, hey! My wife is not strong-willed and she blames me?

As if he knew what he was thinking, Lin Mu glanced at him, "If you don't blame me, who do you blame?"

Okay, okay, Gu Shiqing begs for mercy, just blame me for being too charming!

Lin Mu snorted lightly and did not refute.

Gu Shiqing felt happy and gently held Lin Mu in his arms.

"Hot." Lin Mu moved.

Gu Shiqing refused, insisting on having sex with him, flesh to flesh, and getting angry again. Lin Mu glared at him, "Sleep well!"

"Okay, okay." Gu Shiqing surrendered, and the two of them behaved politely. He fell asleep soon after.

When he woke up the next morning, Lin Mu found that his thigh was riding on Gu Shiqing's waist, and his face turned red. How could I be so unruly by letting my husband sleep well last night?

They got out of bed lightly. It was already bright outside. They had a late night fight last night and slept a little longer today.

Dressing and washing as usual, he went to the warehouse in the backyard and the livestock in the outer yard to check again. When he came back, Gu Shiqing had already taken Brother Xiao Le and sat upright in the main room to greet him for breakfast.

"My husband is a virtuous man." Gu Shiqing bowed with a smile on his face.

"Hmph!" What kind of trick was he playing again? Lin Mu ignored him and just coaxed Brother Xiao Le to eat.

The sweet potato porridge cooked by Mr. Zhou today is called red taro porridge here. It is fragrant and sweet, and Xiao Le is so cute that he ate it!

They had a comfortable breakfast, but they didn't know that many people in the county were already hungry.

Magistrate Qian is worried in his mansion.

There are more and more people in the inner city, but where does the food come from?

A few days ago, you could still find it in the rice vats of people in outer cities. Now, almost all of it is gone. The weather is so hot, and a lot of what is left is moldy and rancid.

It's really hard for him to be the head of the county!

The grain depot has already been opened to release grain once, so sitting back and letting the mountain go unnoticed is not an option.

He set his sights on the villages around the county seat. Magistrate Qian twirled his beard and thought about it. He had to find a trustworthy person to take some government servants. He decided to collect autumn grain in advance!

After thinking about this, he waved to the master next to him and arranged them one by one.

It is not just Magistrate Qian who is eyeing the surrounding villages, but also other wealthy families. Their lives are far from being sad, but they are just uneasy. Many of these families have bought land in surrounding villages and leased it to farmers in the village, hoping to collect the rent in advance, so that's all. What is hateful is that some people have used their brains to collect grain at low prices and buy fields at low prices!

The people in this village would not agree!

"Since you are not willing to pay this price, then I will raise it a little higher. I will charge you as much as three cents per pound of white flour!" The second manager of the county merchant Zhu's family gathered at the entrance of the village with more than a dozen servants. The servants held Long wooden sticks stood on both sides of him, looking fiercely at the villagers in front of him.

In fact, there were twenty-four servants when they came out of the county. Unfortunately, they lost troops and generals along the way, and only sixteen were left in Shangxi Village.

"Isn't it free to give away three grains and a pound?" Someone immediately started shouting. Didn't they hear that someone was collecting grain at the entrance of the village and was generous and generous? Why is there such a cunning and cunning person! They are not stupid. Although they want to sell the grain quickly so that they can pay the tax in the autumn, the price is not acceptable!

In the crowd, the village chief's son looked at the indignation of the villagers and shed a drop of cold sweat. He was the one who attracted him, and if they knew about it, they would not tear him apart!

He quietly shrank back and quickly went back to find the village chief father for help.

Lin Mu also shook his head. He had lived in the village for more than 20 years, and he knew very well that this price would never be achieved. He just watched the steward say contemptuously: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be fined! Now you can get some money from selling it. When the county If you send someone to collect it, it will be in vain!"

He tugged on Gu Shiqing's sleeve and said worriedly: "No way?"

Magistrate Qian has always had a good reputation here!

"I can't tell." Gu Shiqing also shook his head, one moment and another.

The author has something to say:

Thank you little angels for reading!

Chapter 58 is coming

The manager is still showing off his power, and some villagers are thinking, "Why don't we just sell it?" It's not yet time to pay the tax money, and if the county sends someone to collect it, it will really be all in vain!

Well-informed villagers are aware of the food shortage in the county. Recently, people from the county have been coming to join us. If we were close friends at the beginning, now some can only take advantage of others and come here. Those who are willing I just wanted to live in the village, but I didn't want to. Didn't you see that a straw shed was set up at the entrance of the village?

There were not many people, there were about ten men, brothers, and girls in total. Because there was a wooden wall outside, they were not allowed to live in the village. They lived outside in thatched huts. They were unkempt and looked like people from the county. Not as neat as the people in the village!

They came here impoverished, with no land or house. Fortunately, the village chief allowed them to go to Xishan from the village to catch prey and pick wild vegetables, so they could live a comfortable life. Isn't that why they came out of the county?

The villagers were in a dilemma when the village chief's son hurried over with support. "Can't sell! Can't sell!" the old villager shouted from afar.

Lin Mu also nodded, it really couldn't be sold. Although the village chief was sometimes confused, he still saw this matter clearly.

The steward looked at the old figure of the old village chief, chuckled, and pointed at his chubby son, "He called us here. He said that there was a lot of grain for sale in your village, and he even charged five taels of silver. Since he let us run away in vain. Once you get there, you have to pay back the money with interest. "

I won't worry about you not compromising if I expose your son's affairs!

The old village chief had a hot face. He slapped his son in the face amid the sound of explosions all around, "Evil son! Unfilial son! How can you be worthy of us villagers!"

His son covered his face with his hands and hesitated. Dare to speak.

The villagers cursed one after another, and Gu Shiqing glanced with disgust, "Let's go, let's not bother here."

Lin Mu held his hand, and the two of them walked back, feeling a little confused, "Just for the five You sold our village for two taels of silver?" He couldn't figure it out. The village chief's family was not only rich, but they were still living a good life in the village, so they couldn't afford five taels of silver?

"There are always people like this." Gu Shiqing is not surprised. Driven by profit, many people lose themselves.

The two returned home. A few days ago, Gu Shiqing ground a set of jigsaw puzzles with wood for brother Xiao Le to play with. He also made a set of building blocks and a set of wooden puzzles. Lin Mu was also interested and accompanied brother Xiao Le. To play, the uncle and nephew sat on the fur-covered floor and concentrated on building blocks.

Gu Shiqing wandered into the kitchen alone, concerned about what to eat for lunch.

Shredded potatoes in vinegar, fried white mushrooms with big leaves, braised bacon with green sprouts, and a bowl of egg drop soup are all light and refreshing dishes. Satisfied, Gu Shiqing went to the backyard warehouse to check for deficiencies, and poured out two large baskets of purple grass. They had many livestock, and this amount was enough for three days, so he had to replenish some every once in a while.

The three of them had lunch when they went back. Gu Shiqing brought a bucket of cold water from the well in the courtyard. The two of them washed their faces comfortably and went to get rid of the heat. They didn't dare to give it to Brother Xiao Le, who made Brother Xiao Le angry. The son kept pouting, shouting that his uncle didn't love him anymore.

"It's all your fault, let Lele learn!" Lin Mu recommended Gu Shiqing.

The grain harvesters from the county are here.

The villagers were once bitten by snakes and feared well ropes for ten years. The crowd blocked them at the entrance of the village and prohibited them from entering.

The faces of the six rich and powerful government officials were not good at that time. Why were the people in Shangxi Village so stunned!

It was the old village chief who came out to calm down the atmosphere, and gave a few compliments with a smile. Knowing that he was going to collect grain, his face froze, and the steward in the morning really got it right!

But what can they do? The people did not fight with the officials, so they had to persuade the villagers to pay the grain. Fortunately, the government officials said that this time it would be allocated from the Qiu Shang quota, so they could pay less then, so everyone reluctantly went back to weigh the grain.

The old village chief led the government officials to knock on the door one by one. When they arrived at Lin Mu's house, Gu Shiqing came out and opened the door.

As a rule, their family had to pay 200 kilograms of white flour and 50 kilograms of cornmeal. Gu Shiqing happily pulled the donkey cart with five large sacks neatly stacked on it. The two government officials also showed some smiles when they saw it. It's rare for someone to be so cooperative when we come here. Aren't they happy?

And what surprised them even more.

"Excuse me for a moment," Gu Shiqing invited one of the government servants to the side and handed him a ten-pound bag of cornmeal and two palm-sized pieces of bacon from behind.

"I also want to ask you something." Gu Shiqing started talking.

The yamen servant weighed the piece of meat in his hand and was naturally in a good mood. "Tell me what's going on."

Gu Shiqing chatted with him and learned that the situation in the county was indeed not good, and County Magistrate Qian also While actively looking for countermeasures, this harvest was indeed due to a shortage of rice and noodles in the county. Gu Shiqing brought the topic to land reclamation and persuaded them to encircle a wooden wall like the village and burn the living dead outside the inner city. Yes, I will lead people to cultivate wasteland in the outer circle.

The officer looked thoughtful.

Gu Shiqing asked him to help find Mr. Zhou's child again. He originally planned to ask Wang Xi for help, but Wang Xi himself had come back. This yamen servant must not be as hardworking as Wang Xi, but he had to make this last resort.

After handing over the food, Gu Shiqing closed the courtyard door.

He was too lazy to care about things outside.

Now, I have to go back and have a good time with my wife.

The night was already dark and the cicadas were chirping. Lin Mu was lying in Gu Shiqing's arms, reaching out to poke his chest, "You're causing trouble again. I've almost finished the wood pounding tonight!"

Lin Mu planned to use Gu Shiqing according to the prescription. The herbs in the space were used to make pills. Now he was stuck in the first step, grinding the herbs into medicinal powder. After dinner, he imitated the stone pound and made a small wooden pound. Who knew that Gu Shiqing...

Gu Shiqing smiled and kissed Lin Mu hard. , "My husband will do it for you tomorrow! You can sleep peacefully."

Lin Mu glanced at him, "Okay, keep your word!"

"Yeah, yeah." Gu Shiqing agreed, and went out to another side room to look at Brother Xiaole. The son slept soundly, and when he came back, he hugged Lin Mu and closed his eyes.

On the second day, Gu Shiqing did not break his promise.

After eating two fragrant big-leaf buns and a few mouthfuls of old pickles, I went to the yard to grind small wood.

"How about giving it a try!" Half an hour later, the wood was grinded. Lin Mu took it from Gu Shiqing's hand, took out the most common ginger grass from his medicine box, put it in and turned it gently. .

The pungent and spicy smell hits your nostrils.

Done! Lin Mu smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked, "Thank you, Shi Qing."

Gu Shiqing also smiled and reached out to touch the small knot on the back of Lin Mu's head, "Why are you so polite to your husband?"

"Yes." Lin Mu said seriously, Eyes sparkling.

"If you really want to express your gratitude, why don't we do this...that..." Gu Shiqing moved closer to Lin Mu's face, and the little fluff on his face tickled his heart.

"Hmph!" Lin Mu treasured the wooden chopper and turned around.

Gu Shiqing raised his feet and chased after him.

Chapter 59 Storm

In the Lin family courtyard.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing were making pills. Lin Mu took out forsythia, honeysuckle, isatis root, ephedra and other medicinal herbs from the medicine box, ground them into powder one by one and poured them into small bowls. Gu Shiqing According to Lin Mu's instructions, he scooped it out, wrapped it in tissue paper and placed it on a serving plate. He weighed out the dosage Lin Mu wanted and poured it into another small bowl.

The paper was light and thin, and the powder was fine. Gu Shiqing held his breath and concentrated for fear of accidentally blowing it away.

Several medicinal powders were mixed together, and he scooped out a little water with a small spoon, stirred, and slowly kneaded it into a small oval-shaped pill, no more than the size of a finger.

"Spare me, Mumu," Gu Shiqing looked at Lin Mu pitifully. Because he had just made his wife angry, he was now punished as a coolie. It was said to be coolie, but it was not bitter at all. He was just rubbing pills. He was still doing it at first. I feel like my wife can't bear to feel sorry for him.

Who knew that rubbing this little pill could be so fatal! The sweat dripped from his head and he didn't dare to wipe it.

"Clumsy." Lin Mu glanced at Gu Shiqing.

"Yes, yes, I am not as clumsy as you, Mumu." Gu Shiqing responded repeatedly.

"Let's change." Lin Mu said angrily.

yeah!

Gu Shiqing immediately put down the small wooden hammer in his hand, quickly took the small wooden hammer on the table, and started grinding it steadily.

This is the fifth day that the family of three has stayed behind closed doors.

The atmosphere in the village has become a little tense since the last harvest. One of them is colluding with the outside steward for the old village chief's son. There is five taels of silver. Just because Lin Mu doesn't value it doesn't mean that others don't value it. But there are people in the village who are planning to cause trouble. What's more, there are more and more people and less food, and more and more people are borrowing money from the county. At first, it was okay to have some money, but now after living for a long time, all the money has been spent, but this is not a contradiction. highlighted. After part of the food was handed over to the village, there was already less food. The relationship between the two groups of people gradually became less harmonious than before.

The day before yesterday, two groups of wealthy households came from the county. They were all business owners in the county. They brought along their servants and waiters, totaling twenty or thirty people!

Actually want to buy land in the village!

Where should I buy the land, how much land should I buy, and how much money should I pay for it?

What a mess.

There are still zombies that haven't broken their roots, and the patrol team has added more people.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing saw that the situation was so complicated, so they simply stayed at home and did not go out. Their newly built house and high courtyard walls were quite eye-catching, so they should keep a low profile.

However, he was not deaf or blind at home. Zhi Geer came over excitedly every day to tell Lin Mu about new things, and stopped by for afternoon snacks.

Gu Shiqing had nothing to do at home these days, so he instructed Mr. Zhou to make chicken cakes, milk pudding, etc. with milk, eggs, and sugar. He originally wanted to make Lin Mu happy, but in the end it was Xiao Le and Zhi Ge. My son eats the most ferociously!

"Mumu, please stop spoiling him, you haven't eaten much." Gu Shiqing insisted on squeezing into the same chair as Lin Mu, and reached out behind Lin Mu dissatisfiedly and tugged on his sleeves, whispering.

The soft and warm chicken cake he specially made was very cheap.

"Stop talking, be careful to let Zhizhi hear you," Lin Mu shushed, "Let them eat if they like it. I've tasted it and it's delicious. Thank you." Lin Mu turned around and smiled, putting his hand on Then he reached out and took Gu Shiqing's hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and blinked his long eyelashes.

"How can you hear that?" Gu Shiqing looked at Brother Zhi and Brother Xiaole and narrowed his eyes with joy. He muttered dissatisfiedly, "Those who don't know think they are uncles and nephews!

" After being squeezed gently by Lin Mu, okay, Gu Shiqing closed his mouth and fell silent.

In the evening, Tang Jiang came to pick up Brother Zhi, and Gu Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief and finally left. When Lin Mu came, his wife only focused on chatting with him and ignored him.

"You don't like Zhi Zhilai?" Lin Mu asked abruptly.

In the past few days, brother Zhi often came to visit, and every time my husband would aggrievedly leave the place for them to talk, and he would run out to check the house alone. He laughed secretly on the side and wanted to wait to see when his husband would say it.

Who knows that he has been holding back and not saying anything, so whatever, I will do it myself.

Send, send a proposition!

As Lin Mu's good husband, Gu Shiqing, how could he not welcome his wife's good friend?

Definitely not!

He hurriedly shook his head like a drum.

"Lin Zhi, what else do you want to eat tomorrow?" Gu Shiqing took the initiative to show off.

"I won't tease you anymore." Lin Mu chuckled.

After laughing, his face became serious again, and he reached out to hold Gu Shiqing's hand and shook it, "I sometimes get lost in chatting with Zhizhi and ignore you. Don't blame me, okay?"

"Can you remind me next time?"

"Not forgiving, that's not good," Gu Shiqing said with a straight face, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Lin Mu came closer and asked.

"Bo!" Although Gu Shiqing's face was stern, the smile still showed in his eyes. He quickly leaned down and took a quick nap.

Lin Mu's eyes widened.

"Unless you kiss me three times like this, but..." Gu Shiqing couldn't hide his smile, raised the corners of his mouth, reached out and touched his lips, "I want it here!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Mu to answer, He ran out of the inner courtyard door in a flash.

hey-hey!

It's so exciting to run away after flirting with your wife!

That night.

Lin Mu made him realize what real excitement was.

Ten days later, the happy life of Gu Shiqing's wife and children was once again interrupted early in the morning.

Someone still hurriedly informed him to gather at the village ancestral hall, and Zhi Geer came over to keep Lin Mu company.

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang rushed to the village ancestral hall together.

There was already a crowd of people standing outside the ancestral hall, all young and strong men, and some husbands and aunts standing aside.

This time, they were unable to enter. Two wealthy families from the county spent money to rent the ancestral hall. The servants gathered around the outside of the ancestral hall.

The old village chief still stood at the front, but compared to last time, he looked much more haggard this time.

Listening to his chattering after saying "quiet" several times, Gu Shiqing knew that the situation in the village was complicated these days and he was not having an easy time, and the villagers were no longer as convinced of him as before.

But what he said next shocked everyone so much that there was silence.

"Someone saw a large group of living dead coming towards us." The old village chief said concisely.

He called the witness, Boss Wu.

Mr. Wu was an expert in the dental industry and was very eloquent. He was not afraid when he saw so many people gathered together and the two groups of people confronting each other outside the ancestral hall.

He vividly described when and where he saw the group of living dead, and estimated the number of living dead. Fearing that everyone would not believe it, he also pulled his companion at the time, Aunt Liu's brother Liu Bufan, to come forward. .

People in the village knew about Liu Bufan. He loved to take advantage of others and bullied others. He was not a person worth socializing with. But one thing everyone agrees on is that he is a coward and will tell the truth when he is scared.

Immediately, someone stood up and waved their fists. When Liu Bufan saw that his legs were weak, he almost knelt on the ground and swore, "I definitely didn't lie, I didn't lie. Good man, you, please spare me, spare me."

The man gave up.

It seems that this is true, and many people in the village have this sentence in mind.

They looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Gu Shiqing was in a more relaxed mood than them. As for zombies, it was normal to encounter them. He had encountered them several times before. For him, a team of about thirty people who cooperated tacitly was enough to deal with a zombie group of about a thousand people.

Boss Wu estimates that this time it will be about the same size, and he thinks it wouldn't be that difficult in the past.

But now, there is a tacit understanding of cooperation?

Gu Shiqing shook his head, there was still a long way to go! Weapons are also lagging behind, and the only advantage is the large number of people.

Just as he was thinking about it, the old village chief spoke again, "Time waits for no one. Just like last time, those who are willing to come to the ancestral hall to pack some things will come over. The men will also go back to help the family. When the arrangements are completed, we will discuss how to do it." "

Everyone, please go back and think of something, old man!" the old village chief laughed at himself.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 60 Storm (2)

Outside the ancestral hall.

After the old village chief finished speaking, the villagers looked at each other and remained silent.

It's a joke, the ancestral hall is already occupied by people, even if they pack things up and put them there, where will the people live?

Immediately, a man stood up and pointed, "This is the ancestral hall of our village. Let the people inside get out!"

"Yes! That's right! Get out!"

"Get out! Get out!"

The expression on the old village chief's face immediately changed. Okay, he rented this ancestral hall to two wealthy families. Now he regrets it, where can he put his face?

However, he was also hesitating in his heart. The ancestral hall walls were the strongest in this village.

Unless...

no, no, no, he shook his head in his mind, Qing Xiaozi and Mu Ge'er were not easy people to get along with, so he had better forget it.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing had no idea that someone was interested in his yard.

Gu Shiqing was taking Tang Jiang aside to watch the fun!

Outside the ancestral hall, the villagers and the servants were confronting each other. The servants were initially dismissive, but the crowd was so excited and the men's bulging muscles and bowl-sized fists made them feel timid.

Finally unable to stand it any longer, a servant quietly slipped through the door.

Seeing this, the men's voices gradually became quieter. Wu Laoer, the leader, raised his hand and said, "Someone is coming in, let's wait."

He didn't want to fight with the servants. It would be best if they knew each other and left.

After a while, Gu Shiqing was sweating from the hot sun, and then a man who looked like a manager opened the door and came out with a belly. The servant who entered followed him in disgrace.

The steward cleared his throat and said slowly: "The masters of the two families have said that the main room of the ancestral hall should be given up to the elderly and children in the village to rest."

After saying that, he remained silent. However, you can still vaguely see the displeasure on his face.

That is to say, the gentlemen are kind-hearted and the stewards are disdainful, which is why these unscrupulous people are allowed to succeed.

If I... Humph!

There is a room in the middle of the ancestral hall for memorial tablets, and rooms on the left and right sides for people to rest.

As soon as he said this, most people in the village felt that they knew each other, and some wanted to mutter. Wu Laoer turned around and glanced at him, and fell silent.

This shows that his prestige has greatly increased now.

This is the result Wu Laoer wants most. He has a plan in mind. He made everyone so excited just now because he wanted to force the two wealthy families to make concessions. He never thought of completely driving them out of the ancestral hall. That would be too difficult. big.

As everyone knows, the Zhu and Wang families are not alone in the main house. There are memorial tablets inside, but neither family is willing to do so. Now they just have a side room, because they are a little upset thinking about the noise in the village in the future.

Who let them be bullied by dogs?

The two gentlemen, Zhu and Wang, looked at each other and determined to make good friends with each other. They were outsiders in this village, and they didn't know how long they would stay. Naturally, they wanted to win over some people. The two families had similar backgrounds and similar goals. , are rivals and natural allies.

The villagers reached an agreement with them and hurried back in twos and threes, trying to get a good place to rest early.

Gu Shiqing was not in a hurry, and Tang Jiang had already made up his mind to stay at his house. The two of them walked back slowly, killing three zombies on the way, knocking them to the ground and ignoring them.

When they got home, Lin Mu, Zhi Ge'er and Xiao Le were working on a puzzle on the ground head to head.

Gu Shiqing cut a wooden board and drew the pattern piece by piece. The whole picture was about a quarter of a square meter in size. It was very labor-intensive. He only made three pieces. Fortunately, Lin Mu and Xiao Le were very pleased with it. I don't get tired of it even after putting it together and dismantling it.

"The ground is cold." Gu Shiqing was about to pull Lin Mu up.

Lin Mu broke free and pointed to the thick cloth sitting under him, "It's a cushion."

Okay, Gu Shiqing just let him go.

It's still bearable in the middle of summer.

Lin Mu and the others were all concentrating on jigsaw puzzles and ignored him. Gu Shiqing had no choice but to team up with Tang Jiang. The two of them walked in circles around the outer courtyard wall. After a while, they got hot and went back to the house to have a ride. Chatting on the ground.

When it was time to eat at noon, Lin Mu's attention turned to them, "What did I ask you to do just now?" He chewed a piece of fried bacon slices in his mouth.

"It's nothing." Gu Shiqing calmly took a sip of pickled cabbage and egg drop soup and explained the matter concisely.

"Isn't this a big deal?" Zhi Ge'er's face wrinkled.

"Really not," Lin Mu seemed to be infected by Gu Shiqing's calmness, "We have food and drink at home, so what are we afraid of?" "

There are a lot of living dead, but there are also a lot of young men in the village."

"However, We have to find a way to spread out the living dead instead of swarming them." Lin Mu put a piece of radish that Little Le didn't like into his bowl.

Brother Xiaole wrinkled his little nose and looked at Lin Mu carefully. Lin Mu pretended not to see it, so he had to frown and bite the carrot bit by bit and swallow it.

"Yes." Tang Jiang also nodded in agreement.

The four of them discussed this issue together.

After eating, Tang Jiang and Lin Mu went back to clean up briefly and started moving to Lin Mu tonight.

Lin Mu was also busy cleaning up an empty room in the warehouse in the backyard. They agreed to stay here until this matter was over. They didn't need a big place. One room was enough. We all could eat together. .

Gu Shiqing went to the mud-tile house to find Wang Xi. He wanted to discuss with them about letting Wang Xi and his people live in the outer courtyard. The mud-tile house was not as strong as here, and if the situation in the village was not good, he and Tang Jiang would go out. Someone needs to be watching over the house to help.

Wang Xi and Lin Mu were trustworthy, but those people were not, so the outer courtyard was the best.

Wang Xi readily agreed. Gu Shiqing used this time to offset the previous rotation of helping. He also felt that the couple was at a disadvantage!

Gu Shiqing's house was bustling with people coming and going all afternoon.

It was almost evening when everyone was settled.

Wang Xi and his wife didn't need to take care of the thatched hut they built in the outer courtyard, so Gu Shiqing sent a piece of bacon to add to the meal.

The brother-in-law and his wife brought rice and noodles as a reward for staying here for a few days. Lin Mu didn't want it, so Gu Shiqing persuaded him.

"Take it, don't you know better? They don't like to take advantage of others. If you don't take them, they will feel uneasy."

Okay, Lin Mu thought about it for a moment and accepted it.

The same is true in the ancestral hall.

The main house and courtyard were noisy until nightfall.

The servants stood guard outside the two side rooms. Mrs. Zhu was lying on the wooden bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and the villagers were chattering in her ears.

"Bear with it," Mr. Zhu sighed, "We can't break up the relationship with them now."

They had just arrived, and the living dead were so close in front of them. They were still thinking about buying land and food in the village. All of this had to be done with the village. Build good relationships.

Mrs. Zhu held her breath, "I know."

How could she not know what the master was in trouble now?

Otherwise, how could I endure it until now?

The movement in the side room was not known.

The people in the village are now filled with the living dead.

With his parents, wife and children at home, he settled down, and the men gathered around Wu Laoer to listen to his orders.

They made an agreement, and the old village chief took twenty men to stay in the ancestral hall, while the others followed the patrol leader Wu Laoer.

The old village chief was satisfied. He was old and it was good for him to stay in the ancestral hall.

Wu Laoer sent four people into a small team and set out immediately to investigate the situation of the living dead. The remaining teams were divided into four teams. Two teams rested for two hours. One team followed him to strengthen the wooden wall outside the village, while the other team continued to patrol.

The arrangements were made, and the men performed their duties. Those who went out followed, and those who stayed lay on the ground to recharge their batteries.

Lin Mu and Gu Shiqing also went to bed early today. After dinner, they washed up and went to bed.

The night passed.

When it was just dawn, the exploration team came back. At this time, the men from the two teams had just taken turns to fall asleep.

"Boss!" A man with bright eyes gasped and called to Wu Laoer, "We have encountered the living dead!"

"It's the same as Brother Wu said, they are coming in the direction of our village. I guess Three more hours. "

Three hours?" That's noon?

"Okay!" Wu Laoer said, "Go back and rest quickly. Tell everyone to be prepared and don't panic!"

"Yes!" The man nodded and slipped away.

Gu Shiqing had no intention of getting involved in the village affairs now. He set up a wooden ladder inside the outer wall and asked Wang Xi and the others to take turns climbing up and watching. When there were a large number of living dead, there was no need to worry about a few scattered ones.

After giving these instructions, the young couple will be fine.

Soon, Lin Mu found a new hobby, shearing sheep.

They raised long-hair sheep and curly sheep in the outer courtyard. Today, he and Brother Zhi took Brother Le to touch the horns of the lambs.

Brother Xiaole squinted his eyes and looked at the big fireball in the sky, "Uncle, is it hot?"

He pouted and pointed at the innocent-looking little lamb.

Lin Mu suddenly remembered that this sheep had not been shorn since it came to their home!

What a great way to make clothes for Brother Xiaole in winter!

Lin Mu looked at Brother Xiao Le's big confused eyes and felt a little guilty, but he quickly said firmly: "It's hot, let's help them take off their thick clothes!"

Just do it.

Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang were called over to help. Zhang Hanzi pressed the head of a long-haired sheep skillfully, while Gu Shiqing and Tang Jiang fixed two sheep's hooves respectively.

Lin Mu held a pair of big scissors in his hand and cut them with a ruthless and ruthless "swish".

This sound made everyone feel happy.

Zhi Geer followed him carrying a wooden bucket to pick up wool.

White quickly accumulated in the barrel, and when one barrel was not enough, another barrel was taken.

The first long-haired sheep was shaved cleanly.

Brother Xiaole stood aside and clapped obediently, "Uncle is so awesome!" It's not hot anymore!

Lin Mu blushed when he met Brother Xiao Le's admiring eyes. When he looked at the pure white and soft long hair in the two wooden barrels, his heart skipped a beat.

No matter, just cut it.

While Lin Mu's family was working together to shear sheep, the living dead were quietly approaching the village.

The man standing on guard at the wooden wall outside the village saw a blue-white field of vision, and his heart trembled, "Go!"

He turned around and shouted: "Go and tell the village! The living dead are coming!"
