CHAPTER XXXVIII

"Your brother?!" Julia was surprised, "It's just ...... It's the ...... you said made you angry since you were a child."

"Not that." Yin Zhen shook his head, "It's another." ”

"Well, we've been stuck in your 'brother's gathering' for the past two days - why did he kill you?"

"I ...... I don't know. Yin Zhen said in a low voice, "I think, there must be a misunderstanding here." ”

Julia twisted the lid of the mineral water, and she shook her head: "It seems that your brother doesn't think so." ”

In the flickering candlelight, Yin Zhen had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Julia looked at him carefully, and suddenly whispered, "You really resemble him." ”

Yin Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at Julia coldly: "Nonsense, how can a child born and raised by a father not be like this?" ”

"The man looks cunning, though." Julia continued, "Ill-intentioned. ”

"That man has a nickname, 'Viper Nine.'" Yin Zhen said lightly, "If you listen to this nickname, you will know what kind of person he is." ”

"Viper Nine?" Julia was surprised, "That's a great nicknameβ€”he does nine?" ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "The relationship between me and this younger brother has always been very stiff, and I have not been in good shape since I was a child. He was different from my brother, who was a fellow mother, and we both understood that we didn't get along, so I tried not to associate with each other, so as not to hate each other. ”

"Why is it bad?"

"Temperament is incompatible."

This reason is really invincible and powerful, Julia is helpless, and she doesn't know how to ask, she thinks about it, and mutters: "Just because of his incompatible temperament, he will kill you with a light machine gun?" This makes too much sense, right? ”

Yin Zhen didn't say anything, and after a while, he said, "Strange, why isn't he with the eighth child?" This thing really doesn't make sense, why did the eighth suddenly die? Is that person the eighth old? Did Lao Jiu put this account on my head? He thought I killed the eighth? ”

Julia was confused when she heard this, and she hurriedly waved her hand: "It's all speculation, Ah Zhen, you must have offended this brother, but it's definitely not the latest thing." ”

Yin Zhen sighed, "If you want to talk about offending him, I have done it before." ”

"What's the matter?"

"More than ten years ago, when I had a cocoon dog, that dog was very arrogant, and no one cared about it except me." Yin Zhen said, laughing, "Once Lao Jiu came over, he teased the dog, but the dog ignored him. He was so angry that he found scissors and cut the dog's hair. ”

Julia laughed.

"Don't laugh, he's very immoral in doing this." Yin Zhen glanced at Julia lightly, "When I come back, the dog's head is all bald, the snow-white hair is gone, and only a red fleshy head remains." ”

"This ...... This kid is so ignorant! ”

"The dog also has the heart of a dog, it was sheared, so angry that it refused to eat for several days, and almost starved to death." Yin Zhen paused when he said this, "Then, I thought of a way to take revenge on Lao Jiu." ”

"What's the solution?"

"I put his braids ...... His hair was cut. ”

Julia looked at Yin Zhen in shock!

"He covered his hair and went to my father and cried, saying that I had made him shameless. My father was furious about this, saying that I was fierce and moody, and that I was ...... The order forced me to change. That's why I don't like to hear those four words ever since. ”

Julia was speechless for a while, this matter is too complicated, it seems that she can't criticize any side at will, the party who shears the dog's hair may still be young at the time, but this thing is also lacking in morality, Yin Zhen retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, for the sake of his dog, he went to cut someone's hair, although he had a good reason, this thing was too much - dog hair and human hair, can it be the same thing?

"Then this is a feud?" She asked.

"There are a bunch of little things like that, and this one is pretty special." Yin Zhen paused for a moment, and suddenly whispered, "Do you know why I hate Lao Jiu so much? ”

"Why?"

"It's not for that cocoon dog, it's not for these trivialities, I'm for my dad's evaluation. Just because of the dog dog, he said I was moody. When Yin Zhen said this, he pounded the workbench in the laundry room with hatred, "From then on, I was nailed to these four words, understand?" Julia, no matter how much I changed it later, no matter how hard I tried to redeem it, it was to no avail. ”

Julia thought for a long time before she said, "I don't think Ah Zhen is moody. Everyone has a temper, and yours has a good temper. ”

Yin Zhen looked at her in surprise, and for a long time, he suddenly laughed: "You are the first person to say that I have a good temper." ”

Julia also laughed: "Although it's a bit old-fashioned, but you take the job for you, you just do it, isn't it bad temper like this?" ”

Yin Zhen smiled slightly and didn't speak.

"By the way, what kind of dog do you have, what's the name?"

"Worried."

Julia was stunned: "Larvae? What larvae? ”

Yin Zhen glared at her fiercely: "Stupid! From Sun Tzu Zhong, Ping Chen and Song. I don't want to go, I'm worried. I took the word "worried" in "worried". ”

Julia opened her mouth and looked at him stunned, and after a while, she shook her head: "I didn't understand, I didn't understand a word!" ”

"So you're an idiot." Yin Zhen said stupidly, "I can't even understand the name of a dog." This is one of the poems called "Drumming". ”

"Can you memorize the whole poem?" Julia asked.

Yin Zhen nodded, and then he recited softly: "Beat the drum and bor, and enthusiastically use the soldiers ......"

At the end of the reading, Julia suddenly exclaimed, "I know this!" Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said. Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son. ”

Yin Zhen was surprised: "You still know this? Rare. ”

Julia laughed: "I know these four sentences, and more, I don't know - why do you give dogs such strange names?" ”

Referring to the dog he raised when he was a teenager, Yin Zhen's face suddenly lit up, and he gestured to Julia with his hand.

"Because that guy's eyebrows and eyes are funny. That's right. Here. Yin Zhen scratched his finger in the air, "Since it has a naturally worried face, then I just named it 'Worried'." ”

Julia is happy, according to Yin Zhen's comparison, it is an embarrassing word.

The name of the dog is "worried...... This dog and this dog owner are really compatible.

"If you can bear it, dogs will have this name." Julia pouted, "Too learned." Other people's dogs are either called Xiaohei Xiaobai, or they are called Wangcaiwang, and you are different. ”

"Well, my mother also said at the beginning, how can you choose such a name? Unlucky. My father also felt awkward when he heard this, and when he asked me why, I said that it was from the Book of Songs, and although he didn't think it was appropriate, he didn't say anything. ”

"And then?" Julia also came to her senses, "What happened to 'Sorrow'?" ”

The smile on Yin Zhen's face suddenly paused, and he lowered his hand.

"One day it was running around in the garden and crashed...... Crashed into a ...... In short, the other party was frightened, my father was very angry when he learned about it, he said that this dog was causing trouble, and said, I am also the eldest child, and it is a plaything to lose his mind if he continues like this, so this dog, or don't keep it. ”

Julia was silent, she didn't dare to say anything, she always felt that it was inappropriate to interject at this time and say anything.

"Originally, I wanted to beg for a few sentences, but since my father was so angry, I didn't dare to beg anymore, and my mother didn't like it, and always said that the dog's face was uncomfortable to look at, and my brother bullied it all day long, smearing salt grains on the meat and bones, causing it to keep drinking water...... So then I thought, maybe this is the fate of the sorrow, who told me to give it such a name. ”

"How old were you?" She asked softly.

"Fifteen." Yin Zhen smiled, "After that, I never had a dog again." ”

Death and life are broad, and Zicheng said......

Perhaps, whether it is between people or between people and other creatures, the greatest happiness comes from being able to accompany each other sincerely for a long time.

"Ah Zhen, you still miss your worries, don't you?" Julia asked suddenly.

Yin Zhen didn't say anything, he turned his face away.

That night, before going to bed, Julia told Yin Zhen that she had also had a dog before.

"It's a dachshund, it's cute." "I don't know where I came from, but I've been with me for years," she said. ”

"Is the dog still there?"

"I don't know......," Julia sighed, "forgot." I don't remember what happened to me, maybe he didn't die, otherwise I wouldn't have been without the impression that the dachshund lived for seventeen years, and maybe it's still alive today. ”

"What's the dog's name?"

"Garlic."

"What?"

"Garlic." Julia turned over and looked at Yin Zhen, "Because its head is round and looks like a garlic head, I named it 'garlic head'." I shouted: Garlic come here! It just ran over and licked my hands, garlic with sausage, how suitable! ”

Yin Zhen turned over in frustration and turned his back to Julia: "Garlic...... What a dog name is this! ”

It's the same, Julia thought, people's dogs are called "sorrows", and even the dog's name is taken from the poetry, how cultured!

As for her, she can only come up with a name for the dog that only comes up with "garlic" in dumpling restaurants...... It's really a dog than a dog, and it's angry with the dog.

The night at the dry cleaners was safe, but when she got up early in the morning and came out of the closed shop to try out, Julia secretly complained: it had cooled down.

Yesterday evening was not so cold, and now, the wind is cold, and the sun is still bright, but the sun is like warm water, there is no heat at all.

Fortunately, she took a lot of cashmere sweaters from the house on the ninth floor yesterday, and at this moment, regardless of the men and women, Julia asked Yin Zhen to put them on first. "Although there are cavities, but these are all good cashmere, the cold protection effect is strong, it is cold enough today, I guess this is a cold snap from Siberia."

Yin Zhen was stunned: "Where is Siberia?" ”

"In Russia."

"Russia again, hell. Why does that place always give us awkwardness? ”

Julia laughed at what he said.

The next day, they searched the next few apartment buildings, and encountered several dangers during this time, all of which were opened to find zombies inside. But fortunately, it was eliminated in time. Relying on the toolbox that Yin Zhen found yesterday, they could even pry the door in. This time, they found more canned food and household utensils, but Yin Zhen still couldn't find the book he was looking for. It seems that there are not many people who love books like the owner of the house on the ninth floor yesterday.

"Now everyone reads e-books, who reads paper books, it's weird and tiring to hold it, and there's nowhere to put it." Julia explains.

"Hmph, everything is electricity, electronics...... What's so good about electricity! ”

At the same time, Yin Zhen also had some small joy: he found a bottle of medicine. Originally, there was no Chinese on the bottle of medicine, Yin Zhen was afraid of missing something, so he handed it to Julia, who carefully read the instructions before understanding that this is a herbicide, and it is a powder preparation, after adding some water, you can kill the weeds in the crops.

"Now our seedlings will be saved next year." Julia was delighted, "Be careful, this one, it's poisonous." ”

By the afternoon, the backpacks of the two were all full, and there was not even the last trace of space.

Julia said, "Okay, they should go back, after all, the food and water they brought are running out."

"Are you going back the way you came?" Yin Zhen asked.

"Hmm...... That's the problem. ”

They were resting at a KFC on the side of the road, and Julia even dug out a few bottles of Coke in the back of the console. Of course, no one dares to drink Coke that has expired for five years.

"You're not afraid of this, are you?" Julia gestured to Colonel Sanders, who was smiling at the counter.

Yin Zhen nodded: "It's very kind, don't say it, the eyebrows and eyes are really a bit like my father." ”

He even rolled up his sleeves and wiped the ashes from the old man's face.

Julia laughed secretly, no wonder Yin Zhen hated McDonald's, he really had a reason.

Yin Zhen seemed to be very interested in the pictures of the KFC counter, and he stared at them non-stop, and the words in his mouth: "...... That's what the hamburger looks like. This chicken wing looks delicious, and this grilled chicken thigh is so fat. ”

"Okay, don't quench your thirst." Julia interrupted him, "Now, we'll have to think about how we're going to get home." ”

"Why can't you go back the way you came?" Yin Zhen asked.

"Those zombies must have gathered in that area yesterday, if you go back the same way, you must have to meet them, it will be too dangerous." Julia nibbled on the last nest and said, "Besides, the killer doesn't know where to lurk, so we'll have to find another way back." ”

"Another way?"

"Waterways." Julia winked at him, "Zhen, you forgot?" This is on the edge of the Yangtze River. ”

"How's that going to go?" Yin Zhen was very surprised.

"Find a boat and go downstream, I remember this is the direction of going upstream, as long as the boat goes all the way to the three-tower cable-stayed bridge downstream, it will be near our house."

Yin Zhen was reminded by her like this, and nodded: "It's a way." But are there zombies in the water? ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Julia shook her head and said, "Although they don't breathe without lungs, zombies have poor hand and foot coordination, they can't swim, and they sink when they enter the water." ”

Yin Zhen thought for a while before he said, "It's good to take the waterway, but the question is, first, how far does it take to get from here to the river?" Second, there will definitely be large swamps and tidal flats on the banks of the river, will there be zombies hidden in the reeds? Three, the boat, where to get it? ”

Julia nodded: "It's very thoughtful, but these problems are easy to solve." In fact, this area is the area along the river, and the Yangtze River is not far away. As for the reeds, the only way to venture into them is to venture into them, and as for boats, I think we will always find them when we get to the river. ”

She looked at her watch again: "Oh, two o'clock, there are still three hours before the sun sets, so it's too late to act." ”

Yin Zhen nodded: "If we can get a boat tonight, we will be able to go home at dawn tomorrow." It's much easier than trekking back on foot. ”

Note: Lao Jiu was cut off his braids because he bullied Yongzheng's dog, I don't know if it's true or not, but I've just seen this gossip.

Yongzheng loves pet dogs, it's true.
