CHAPTER XLIV
For the rest of the day, Lao Lu told Yin Zhen about the general training method, and he even asked Yin Zhen to ride it to try.
But Yin Zhen couldn't muster up the courage to try.
Lao Lu and Yin Zhen said that there are only sixty at present, and if the number is increased like this, they will soon be able to have a zombie army.
"Usually, you can put it in the field as an ox to call, plough the ground or something should be able to do, if one day our little red house is forcibly occupied, this team can also come in handy, at least they can temporarily block the enemy for us, like a human wall."
"If you can keep your teeth, won't you be a weapon?" Yin Zhen said.
"At the same time, the danger of the trainers has increased." Lao Lu said, "I had such a plan, but I still felt that it was very dangerous and did not dare to try - and for now, zombies are still more threatening to us than living people." β
It's a pity, Yin Zhen thought, maybe he could try it himself.
"There's another trick." Lao Lu took off the dirty and smelly coat on his body, and hung it on the wall along with a hat, "If you wear this, you will be safe." β
The overall-dressed electrician's labor jacket, which Lao Lu called "work clothes", was smeared with layers of corpse fluid and flesh, and before he could get close to it, Yin Zhen could smell a pungent stench. The body fluids and flesh have long been dry, so the risk of infection is greatly reduced, wearing it, the zombies can not smell the breath of the living, if you want to strengthen the guard, put some zombie flesh in the four pockets of the "work clothes", it is safer.
On the way back, Lao Lu told Yin Zhen that Julia was actually unhappy that he told Yin Zhen about it.
"Why?"
Lao Lu smiled: "She thinks this is a crazy plan, and the danger is too high. She always said, 'Don't tell Zhen, that guy is a Dr. Crazy and can come up with weirder ideas.' She thinks that no one can stop you if you get into the horns. β
Yin Zhen smiled bitterly and didn't make a sound.
Lao Lu glanced at him, and suddenly said, "Did you two quarrel?" β
Yin Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said vaguely: "No......"
"Don't hide it from me." Lao Lu said, "I can see your faces in the morning. β
Yin Zhen understands, what kind of character is Lao Lu? Naturally, this thing could not be hidden from his eyes.
"It's for what Shao Tianming said about Yu Jin yesterday, right?" Lao Lu looked at Yin Zhen, who lowered his head and slowly kicked the soil on the ground without making a sound.
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "In the final analysis, I blame me for this, I hurt Julia, she met someone unladylike, this is all my responsibility - her husband, that Yu Jin, was originally my subordinate, and this marriage was also brokered by me." β
Yin Zhen was stunned and looked at him: "Really?" β
Lao Lu nodded: "Julia didn't think about getting married at the beginning, she said that she would follow me, I thought, how long can the old coffin pot live, and when I die, who will take care of this child?" In addition, Yu Jin wanted to marry her, so he came to me and said a lot of good things, vowing to take care of Julia for the rest of her life. So, I forced Julia to follow Yu Jin. β
Yin Zhen walked forward silently for a while before he said, "Dad, why did you choose this person in the first place?" β
Lao Lu sighed silently, and he suddenly said: "Ah Zhen, Yongzheng back then, why did you reuse Nian Qianyao?" β
Yin Zhen was stunned, and then said: "Naturally, it is because he is talented, flexible, eclectic, and loyalβ"
When he said this, he suddenly paused, how ridiculous these words were to mention now that the ending of Nian Qianyao was known.
Lao Lu glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is my evaluation of Yu Jin at the beginning." Emperor Yongzheng looked away, he didn't think about it, I also looked away. β
It turned out that their group could not stay in the city and had to flee from home. After a few months of wandering outside, he met Sjepan's gang. At that time, this group of people included Lao Lu and Yu Jin, as well as several of his other subordinates. Two family members and a companion died along the way, and by the time they arrived at the camp in Sjepan, they were exhausted.
"But when I saw Sjepan, I knew it was the wrong choice." Lao Lu said in a deep voice, "That person is a 'walking evil'. β
Sjepan's gang warmly entertained Lao Lu and them at the beginning, and promised that as long as they joined the gang, they would be treated better in the future.
But in fact, this is not the case at all.
"All men, young and old, must be slaves to him, and they must not resist." Lao Lu paused before he added, "What I can't stand the most is his bullying of the weak groups in the refugees. β
Within a month of being with Sjepan, Lao Lu stopped him from sexually assaulting orphans again and again.
"There are boys and girls. That guy is a brute, pure! When Lao Lu said this, he spat with great disdain.
However, Lao Lu's resistance has been opposed by his subordinates, they think that Lao Lu should not meddle in his affairs, and he didn't infringe on them anyway, and now it is easy to find this place to live, do you want to leave here and be displaced again? Along the way, I also encountered several refugee gangs, but they refused to take them in, and even often met each other. Sjepan is the only group that welcomes them. Moreover, although Sjepan was very bad to the others, he always had a basic courtesy towards them - perhaps because he was afraid of their numbers, maybe he was afraid of the upright old land, in short, he did not dare to mess with them.
When Yin Zhen heard this, he suddenly whispered, "Since you and your subordinates have this kind of disagreement, you can't live together anymore." β
Lao Lu laughed self-deprecatingly: "In a normal society with good order, they are all elites, and they are all the pride of the sky, I trust them so much that I even dare to guarantee them with my life." But Ah Zhen, you see, as soon as society falls, people also fall. It's as if I'm blind, and they've all become unknown to me. β
Sjepan hated Lao Lu, and he thought he was polite enough, but this stubborn old man was still messing with him, which made his prestige in the gang plummet. In the end, he decided: either Lao Lu is obedient and obedient, or he will leave here.
"I chose to leave," Lao Lu said calmly, "alone." β
"And what about Julia?"
"She wanted to go with me, but I was in a precarious situation, and I couldn't live without the collective. I didn't let her go with me, I told her to follow Yu Jin well. Lao Lu paused, he stretched out his hand and touched the rough bark next to him, "Coming out of Sjepan, I struggled alone for almost half a year, and I found this place in the villa area after nine deaths. Thankfully, the box of weapons I had secretly hidden was still there, and I didn't tell anyone just in case. As soon as I settled down in the villa, Julia escaped. β
"She fell out with Yu Jin?" Yin Zhen asked.
"She fell out with everybody." Lao Lu said, slamming the trunk hard, "You know what? That brute of Sjepan actually hit her head with the idea. At that time, all the women in the camp had been abused by Sjepan, except for her, because she had a husband and me and other men. But as soon as I left, after a long time, Sjepan began to think about her. My men, fearful of Sjepan's intimidation, gradually refused to fight for her. β
"But her husband should protect her!" Yin Zhen suddenly became excited, "Yu Jin should fight to the death!" How could he tolerate such a thing?! β
Lao Lu's smile was complicated: "That's why I said that the terrible thing about this world is that it will make you do things that you once despised." In the past, Yu Jin also felt that he would fight to the death, he decided that he was a tough guy, and he would never swallow this kind of insult. When it really happened in front of him, he realized how despicable his true self was. β
ββ¦β¦β
Julia snuck out after learning that her husband had made a deal with Sjepan, and on the way out she was shot in the leg. By the time she fled to the villa, there were already signs of infection, and I almost had her leg amputated - thank goodness she survived on her own. β
"Amputation? What do you mean? β
"That is, chop off the wounded part." Lao Lu explained, "This is the only way to deal with infection. It is said that in the past, there were people who rescued people who had been bitten by zombies and cut off the injured parts......"
Yin Zhen shouted when he heard it: "Can you still live!" β
"If you don't have an amputation, you will never live, and if you have an amputation, there is still hope for survival. People must suffer a great sin, but as long as they prevent infection and blood loss. β
When Lao Lu said this, he said to Yin Zhen sincerely: "Ah Zhen, don't blame Julia for not telling you these things. During her six months with Sjepan, Julia had a miserable life, and the humiliation she suffered is unimaginable. She was reluctant to say that it was because the injury was too severe. Don't be mad at her. β
Yin Zhen shook his head: "I'm not angry with her." β
"It's all my fault, why did you force her to marry Yu Jin in the first place?" When Lao Lu said this, he was indescribably saddened, "I have only these two daughters in my life, the eldest daughter died and had no place to be buried, the whole family turned against me, and the younger daughter, I pushed her into the fire pit with my own hands......"
"Lao Lu, don't say that." Yin Zhen immediately interrupted him, "At that time, you didn't know that Yu Jin was that kind of person!" It's like...... Just like Yongzheng Nian, he thought that Nian Qianyao was loyal. β
Lao Lu smiled bitterly: "This can't be compared." Yongzheng also has other courtiers, who killed Nian Qianyao, and he has more people to be loyal to. But right now, I'm just Julia. So, Ah Zhen, can I ask you for something? β
"What?"
"Tomorrow, I will set off with Tianming to save Yuanyuan." Lao Lu looked at him, "If anything happens to me in the future, Ah Zhen, you will protect Julia for me, okay?" β
Yin Zhen nodded: "Of course I will protect her, Lao Lu, don't worry." β
Old Lu sighed: "Actually, I hope you two can get married." β
Yin Zhen was suddenly embarrassed!
"But fate is a thing, it's hard to force it, and with Yu Jin's incident in front of me, it's hard for me to speak again, so I can only ask you to go this far."
The next day, Lao Lu and Shao Tianming set off to rescue Yuanyuan.
Before leaving, he said to Julia and Yin Zhen that no matter what happens, don't let the two of them interfere, he can do it alone, if he and Shao Tianming fail, then there is no need to add extra lives.
"Especially, if anyone brings you my message." Lao Lu stared at the two of them, "Don't believe it, understand?" β
The two nodded, knowing this.
As soon as Lao Lu and the others left, Yin Zhen and Julia were left at home.
Although the tension of that night has slowly dissipated. But the relationship between the two seems to have a crack, and no one can paste it.
On the third day after Lao Lu left home, Yin Zhen finally couldn't sit still, he said that he wanted to go out to inquire about the situation, and besides, he couldn't sit at home like this all the time.
Julia had no choice but to say that since he couldn't sit still, he would simply go to the farming base with her to work.
"It's almost sowing season, so let's turn over the soil and prepare for spring planting." She said, "You must not have ever done farm work, I have to teach you." β
The two of them carried the hoe, and Yin Zhen carried a gun and went to the mint house in the back.
There is not much land, and it has been neatly divided by Lao Lu, all they need to do is to carefully hoe the ground to give the seeds that are about to be sown a good growth environment.
At first, neither of them said a word, just buried their heads in silent farming.
Finally, Yin Zhen put down the hoe, and he raised his head: "Julia, I didn't get angry anymore about that incident." β
Julia bent over the clumped clods, silent.
Yin Zhen said again: "Lao Lu told me everything about you and Yu Jin, and the fault is not you." β
Julia still kept her head down, silent.
"Julia ......"
"So be it." Julia suddenly looked up, "Just stop here, don't continue." β
Yin Zhen looked at her in a daze!
"Isn't that good? Don't follow Yu Jin's old path, just let us be ordinary friends and don't cross the line. She said quietly, "Don't hurt each other." It will not bring another life to this sinister world. That's how we should be. β
Yin Zhen was stunned!
"There is not enough water, I'll go back to the little red house and pick another bucket." Julia walked briskly past him, her head bowed, not looking at him.
When she left, Yin Zhen threw down the hoe and sat under the eaves of the porch.
He thought back to Julia's expression when she spoke, like a blank piece of paper, there was no expression on it, but he could feel the great sadness hidden inside.
However, how can he and Yu Jin's kind of person be the same thing? Yin Zhen suddenly became angry, how could he follow Yu Jin's old path?!
No, he'll have to make it clear to Julia!
However, waiting in the mint house, Yin Zhen couldn't wait for Julia to come back. He muttered in his heart, simply locked the door of the mint house, and walked towards the little red house.
As soon as he walked to the door of the little red house, Yin Zhen realized that something was wrong: there was a person standing in front of the little red house, and he still had a gun in his hand!
Yin Zhen chuckled in his heart, took two steps forward, and he recognized it: it was Shao Tianming!
At this time, the other party also saw him.
"Shao Tianming?! How could it be you? Yin Zhen was stunned, "What about Lao Lu?" β
didn't answer him, but Shao Tianming picked up the gun, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Yin Zhen.
"They're not coming back." He actually smiled slightly, "Fortunately, Fourth Elder Brother." β
