Chapter 289: Good Samaritan (1st Update)
Oh......"
Chen Yuan blinked a little stunned, and then slowly put Jiang Lian down.
Jiang Lian lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly, "Thank you." Then he took a few steps back, then picked up the quilt and squatted on the side of the road.
Chen Yuan stood with his back to her, and Li Qiluo took the initiative to run over to help.
After finishing the matter, Li Qiluo helped Jiang Lian and walked back.
Chen Yuan glanced back at Jiang Lian, her face was still bloodless, and her walking was very unsteady.
Looking at Chen Yuan's gaze, Jiang Lian looked a little embarrassed.
Noticing that Chen Yuan was about to come over and continue to pick her up, she immediately waved her hand and said, "You don't have to carry me away, really." ”
Chen Yuan frowned slightly, "Don't move." ”
The commanding tone made Jiang Lian stunned for a moment, and Chen Yuan followed by bending down and picking her up.
"Ah......h
She subconsciously cried out.
Then he pursed his mouth and staggered Chen Yuan's eyes.
"Let's go. ”
Chen Yuan glanced at Li Qiluo next to him, and then continued to take steps forward.
Jiang Lian's mood at the moment was a little complicated.
Being in Chen Yuan's arms made her feel a very reliable feeling from this young man.
This feeling makes her feel very warm and grounded.
I don't know if it's because I haven't been in love for too long, or if it's because the fever makes her mind unconscious. She suddenly became obsessed with the feeling. Secretly glanced at Chen Yuan, this man is indeed not handsome, but he looks very comfortable. She squirmed slightly, then turned her head to one side and slowly closed her eyes.
"Thank you, Chen Yuan. ”
Chen Yuan smiled and did not speak.
The three of them kept quiet and walked forward quickly.
After walking about two kilometers, Chen Yuan suddenly found that in the wasteland on the right side of the roadside, there was a very conspicuous small earthen house. The small earthen house is surrounded by a crooked fence, which does not look very strong.
Chen Yuan roughly calculated, and the distance from here to the small earthen house was about two hundred meters. So he stopped and said to Li Qiluo, "Have you seen that little earthen house?"
"See. ”
"Let's go there first. ”
"Okay. ”
Holding Jiang Lian and quickly walking to the fence, Chen Yuan put down Jiang Lian and asked Li Qiluo to help her, and then took back the axe from Li Qiluo himself.
He cautiously glanced around, and the windows on both sides of the small earthen house were basically blocked by wooden planks. The door of the house is also closed. He cautiously walked to the fence door, and just put his left hand on the door frame, suddenly a vigorous and powerful voice came from inside the earthwork, "Don't move!"
Chen Yuan stopped what he was doing and quickly looked towards the source of the sound.
Just in the lower left corner of the window on the right, he saw the arrow of a crossbow arrow.
A vague figure holding a crossbow seemed to scrutinize them.
"Who are you, why are you here?"
Chen Yuan wasn't sure what kind of person the other party would be now, but listening to that person's voice, he felt that it should be an old man. It may be just defensive, not necessarily malicious.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan temporarily chose to lean his axe against the fence, and then raised his hands.
"Hello, we are not bad people, we have no ill will. Our car ran out of gas on the road and we have been walking a long way down this road to get here, my friend has a fever and is in a terrible condition, so we want to take a break here for a while, can you see it?"
Chen Yuan made his tone as sincere as possible, and then continued to pay careful attention to the man's every move behind the window. The other party seemed to be thinking about what Chen Yuan said, and after a moment of silence, the crossbow arrow was taken to the side from behind the window. Soon, the door of the earthen house was pushed open. An old man with gray hair stood there, holding a crossbow in his hand, and the arrow was still aimed at Chen Yuan.
"Have you ever been bitten by a zombie?"
Although the old man looked old, his eyes were still bright.
Chen Yuan waved his hand again and again, "Hello grandpa, we haven't been bitten." As he spoke, he lifted his sleeves and briefly showed the old man.
Then he pointed at Li Qiluo and Jiang Lian, "They have a little injury on their bodies, they were caused by the crash before, not by zombies, you don't have to worry!"
The old man's expression remained suspicious.
Li Qiluo saw that the old man still didn't want them to enter the house, she bit her lip and thought about it, and suddenly thought of a way.
"Grandpa. She called out very sincerely, and continued, "We really haven't been bitten by zombies, if you don't believe me, I'll take off my clothes to show you now." ”
As she spoke, she put the quilt on her body and put it on the fence. Then grab the corner of the undershirt and pull it up firmly. As soon as her navel was revealed, the old man shouted at her, "Wait!"
Li Qiluo grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands and slowly put down the clothes he had lifted.
The old man's brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be very confused about whether to let them enter the house for the time being.
"Let them in. ”
A loving voice sounded from behind the old man.
The three of them looked over one after another, and just two steps or so behind the old man, a gray-haired old woman was standing, and next to her right leg, there was a little boy who looked to be about six years old, hiding behind her, holding her thigh with both hands.
The old man looked at Chen Yuan and the others, and sighed helplessly, "Come in." ”
"Thank you, thank you grandpa!"
In order not to let the old man's family have bad thoughts, Chen Yuan directly put the axe in the fence and did not bring it into the room.
Walking along the doorway, the three people followed the old man's family into the room on the right.
The whole room was very simple, except for a rectangular clay kang, only a small round table and a stove for burning the fire. A dilapidated kettle sits above the stove, and hot vapor floats in the air.
However, although the environment is simple, it is much warmer than the outside world.
The little boy jumped directly onto the kang and looked at Chen Yuan and them curiously with big round eyes.
The old man put the crossbow in his hand into the corner of the earthen kang and walked out of the room. The old woman took out three cups from the small round table, then took the kettle from the stove and poured a third of the hot water into each cup.
"Come, kids, take a sip of hot water. ”
The three of them nodded their heads.
"Thank you grandma. ”
Chen Yuan handed two cups of hot water to Jiang Lian and Li Qiluo, and then picked up the remaining cup and took a sip slowly. The warm, moist sensation ran down his throat, moisturizing his gradually dry body.
Jiang Lian and Li Qiluo also drank in small sips, looking to cherish the cup of hot water in their hands.
Soon, the old man returned to his room.
Noticing that he was holding three shabby stools in his hands, Chen Yuan hurriedly put down the water cup and ran over to pick up the three stools.
The old man raised his hand and pointed to the stove in front of him, and said very plainly: "Just put it there, you are wearing so little, sit by the stove and bake the fire first, warm your body." ”
"Okay, thank you grandpa. ”
The three of them each held their own hot water and sat around the stove. The two old men returned to the kang, the grandmother and the little boy took off their shoes and sat in the kang, and the grandfather sat on the edge of the kang against the wall.
"Where did you come from?"
Grandma looked at the three of them and asked with concern.
Chen Yuan scratched his neck, not knowing how to answer this question for a while. It can't be said that he escaped from the paradise, right? He looked at Jiang Lian with some embarrassment.
Although Jiang Lian had a fever at this time, she was still calm. With a slightly kind smile, she replied softly, "Grandma, we are from Sara City. ”
"Oh, that's a big city. ”
The little boy looked up at his grandmother, "Grandma, is Sara City fun?"
"This grandma doesn't know either, you can ask this sister directly. ”
The little boy seemed to be a little scared, he looked at Jiang Lian and blinked, and finally turned his head to look at his grandmother.
Jiang Lian said softly, "Sara City is not fun, it's not as good as here." ”
"Really?"
The little boy's expression was very innocent.
Jiang Lian smiled, "It's true, my sister won't lie to you." ”
The little boy nodded, and said no more.
Grandpa, who had been silent, opened his mouth at this time, "Sara City, what's the situation now?"
