Chapter 188: Overnight
Before dark, we finally arrived in the outer city of Kyoto. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I used to feel like I would never set foot in this place again.
At this moment, looking at the unfamiliar and familiar building, Xue Qingtong's mood did not fluctuate too much.
The originally bustling city is now like a dead city, and occasionally a few cars pass by, and they leave very quickly.
There were only three of them left around.
Xue Qingtong stopped the car.
"Miss Xue, what's wrong?" The car behind also had to stop, Qin Fei stuck out his head and asked, "Can't you find the way?"
"Spend the night here today. Xue Qingtong said.
"Why?" Although the sky was darker than usual today, they were already in Kyoto by this time, and in a few hours they would be in the inner city, and perhaps they would see the old lady tonight.
"First, there are a lot of zombies in the outer city, and you may not be able to reach the inner city safely, and second, in order to prevent zombie attacks, the base in the inner city is usually closed after dark, and survivors are no longer allowed to enter and exit. ”
"Miss Xue, how do you know?" asked this, not because she didn't believe Xue Qingtong, but because she knew too much.
"I guess. Xue Qingtong replied.
I didn't intend to explain.
Qin Fei's question was blocked back by whether it was soft or hard, he touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Once the person is moved, he is easily struck by the beloved.
In the last car, Qu Jing followed Xue Qingtong very silently.
Since the first meeting, he had an indescribable trust in Xue Qingtong, and when he heard Xue Qingtong's words so firmly, he was once again glad for his previous choice.
Qu Jing didn't care what Xue Qingtong thought.
Kyoto is remembered as bustling and crowded.
But every city is the same, there is always a difference between lush and barren, and Kyoto is no exception.
When looking down from the air, the skyscrapers are very eye-catching, but only when you are in them, you can know some civilian courtyards interspersed in the building.
The car was parked outside a courtyard house.
The houses here are generally low, and there are not many people in normal times, and after the end of the world, there are relatively few zombies.
There are two sycamore trees outside the courtyard.
Last night's heavy rain and the temperature plummeted again, and the leaves of the sycamore trees fell all over the ground, lining the growing desolation around them.
The far gate of the courtyard was closed.
Since Xue Qingtong had decided to stay outside for the night, Qin Fei didn't say anything more, he got out of the car and went up to push the door.
But the door was locked from the inside.
"Miss Xue, there are people inside. ”
As soon as Qin Fei's words fell, a voice came from inside, "Who?"
Xue Qingtong didn't want to deal with people too much, she was about to return to the car.
But the gate of the courtyard was opened.
A man sticks his head out.
Seeing Xue Qingtong and the others who were tightly wrapped, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Do you want to spend the night?"
"Yes. "Qin Hao was not there, and Qin Fei became the spokesperson of the team.
The man's gaze turned around Xue Qingtong and the others again, and said, "Then come in." ”
After saying that, the man withdrew his gaze and went straight to the door.
"Miss Xue, look?" Qin Fei waited for Xue Qingtong to make a decision.
Xue Qingtong could feel that the weather was getting colder and colder, and there were no similar houses around, anyway, it was only one night, she nodded at Qin Fei: "Go in, be careful." ”
"Hmm. ”
Qin Fei took the lead in entering the door, Xue Qingtong pulled Xing Yan in, and Kong Ming and Qu Jing walked last.
After entering the door, I found that the yard was very clean.
Facing the courtyard gate is a two-story small building, red bricks and green tiles, vermilion wooden door, which looks simple and quiet.
The man who opened the door just now was standing at the door of the main house, and he pointed to a smaller two-story building beside him, and said, "You will stay here for a while today." ”
"Try not to come out after dark, otherwise, if you attract zombies, don't blame me for driving you out overnight. The man's face turned cold and he said again.
Qin Fei was a little dissatisfied with the man's attitude, he opened his mouth, and was just about to speak, but Kong Ming grabbed him.
Kong Ming smiled faintly at the man, "We know." ”
After speaking, he took the lead in pulling Qin Fei into the small building.
"Why didn't you let me ask just now?" Qin Fei wasn't angry, he was just curious, "This courtyard is obviously not theirs." ”
He was familiar with the breath of those people, and it was impossible for such a person to live in these places.
Kong Ming glanced at him, "We are just staying temporarily, why create unnecessary contradictions?"
Besides, it's not a good thing for them to offend people when they first arrive.
Even if Qin Fei is from Kyoto, the difference between before and after the end of the world must be not small, so it is better for them to be cautious.
"I see. Qin Fei was not as far as Kong Ming thought, he glanced back at the empty courtyard and said, "Then I am on duty today, you can sleep well." ”
The first floor of this small building leads to the kitchen, which houses a storage room.
Everyone didn't bother to go upstairs, so they simply stayed in the storage room for the time being.
The pantry was not large, except for the door that connected to the kitchen, there was only one window.
However, the window glass is frosted, and you can't see the outside from the room.
A few people entered, and the small room seemed more and more cramped, but because of the small room, it didn't seem so cold.
Everyone found a place to sit.
In this short period of time, it was already pitch black outside.
Xue Qingtong took out a small flashlight, and found a few packets of biscuits from the space and distributed them to everyone.
Qu Jing took the biscuit with great gratitude.
A few people were just about to eat when there was a bang on the door outside.
Putting away the biscuits, Xue Qingtong got up, opened a crack in the window, and looked out.
The fire was blazing outside.
Then there was a loud voice.
"Boss, how was your harvest today?" Listening to the voice, it was the man who opened the door for them just now.
A man in a cotton hat handed over the snakeskin bag in his hand, "It's okay, it's enough to have a good meal today." ”
The man who opened the door suddenly smiled.
"That's right. The boss paused and asked, "Who are the three cars outside?"
One of them was to his liking.
The man who opened the door walked up to the boss, pointed to the small building, and whispered a few words.
When the boss looked at the storage room again, his eyes flashed with temptation, "Friends in the house, meeting is fate, why don't you come out and drink a cup of hot water?"
"Call us?" Qin Fei jumped up and came behind Xue Qingtong, but he didn't get closer, he listened with his ears pricked up, and then asked in a low voice.
Xue Qingtong did not answer.
"You can rest assured that we have no ill intentions, we just want to make friends with you. The boss softened his tone and said.
People have already given face like this, and if they don't open their mouths, it will be rude.
Xue Qingtong turned his head to look at Qin Fei and shook his head at him.
Qin Fei understood Xue Qingtong's meaning this time, and he also replied loudly: "Thank you for your hospitality, no need." ”
The man outside obviously didn't expect the people in the house to refuse, knowing how tempting hot water was in such a cold weather.
