"Mother-in-law." Shi Lingxue pulled the topic into the right track and asked, "Then what is the matter with these walking corpses?" Is it also related to the Blue Child? ”

"How can it be okay?" The old woman sighed and said with a little excitement, "It is he who has cursed this town, and it is he who has killed so many people; Now even the dead are not spared, so that the dead will not be at peace! Who else but him can make flesh grow from white bones? ”

Ye Bai didn't believe in the curse, and felt that there must be something hidden in it, so he continued to ask: "When did these walking corpses first appear, and did anything special happen at that time?" ”

The old woman replied, "It was the second year after the plague, and since the plague had subsided, there were less than two thousand people left in the town, and many houses were deserted, and some thieves and thieves came to this place, and often stole something of value from the dead man's house by night."

That year, on the 15th of August, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a handsome girl suddenly came to the town, followed by several thieves full of evil.

When they saw that the girl was beautiful, they became ill-willed, and surrounded her in the streets, trying to spoil her! But at this moment, something strange happened.

The moon in the sky suddenly turned red, and the corpses came to life and turned into ghosts walking in the world, and those thieves were so frightened that they wanted to escape, but they were caught and eaten only bones, hateful, pathetic and pitiful! ”

"That girl, is she okay?" Ye Bai asked urgently.

The old woman nodded and replied, "Maybe God opened his eyes, or maybe the ghost of the blue child has a clear conscience, and he can distinguish between good and bad people, and the ghosts only attacked the thief and did not hurt the girl." The girl was also a kind person, and I was so frightened that I hid in the room and did not dare to come out, and before leaving, she came to the window to warn me that whenever the walking corpse was resurrected, as long as it hid in a place where the moonlight could not be seen, it would be safe. ”

"Looks like there's something wrong with that girl!" Ye Bai thought in his heart, "Otherwise, how would she know that the corpse transformation is related to moonlight?" ”

After listening to the story, Xiao Ling'er, who was eccentric and a little timid, said nervously: "Since there has been a plague here, will we be infected if we continue to stay here?" ”

Ye Bai shook his head and analyzed: "The possibility is very small, the plague has passed for more than ten years, those infected have weathered into white bones, and those who survive are even less likely to carry pathogens, so the chance of us being infected is very small, but for the sake of safety, everyone should try to stay away from those places where people have died, let alone touch any bones." ”

Huang Kai: "Then the captain is responsible for the respective teams to find a place to rest as soon as possible, avoid trouble, and wait for tomorrow morning to meet before making plans." ”

"Okay."

Everyone agreed.

"Gollum~"

Just as he was about to disperse, his stomach was so hungry that he 'sang' a revolutionary song, which was so loud that almost everyone could hear it.

Ye Bai saw Han Yichen's face next to him red, smiled, pretended to be embarrassed and patted his stomach, and asked: "Mother-in-law, the kid still has a reluctant request, we haven't had a full meal for a few days, see if you can give us something to eat, steamed buns and pickles!" ”

Han Yichen looked up at Ye Bai, a trace of gratitude crossed his eyes.

Other people also began to look forward to it, they haven't eaten a normal meal these days, and some have even been hungry until now, if it weren't for the transformation of their bodies, they are afraid that they have already collapsed, at this time what they want to eat most is the whole grains that can fill their stomachs!

The old woman replied: "We used to have a lot of grain here, but now there are fewer people and we can't eat it all, you can go and get it yourself in the granary in the east of the town, and there are still some people over there, if you meet them, you will say that I introduced you here." ”

The players left one after another, Ye Bai stayed until the end, and asked the old woman: "Mother-in-law, I want to ask you, is the blue child's mother Talia still alive?" ”

The old woman replied: "I don't know, his son did such a rebellious thing back then, and the town naturally couldn't tolerate her, so he drove her to live alone in a wooden house in the back mountain." Soon after, the plague broke out, and every family was dying who could still take care of her, and in the end, even her mother's family was dead, and no one wanted to mention her, so many years have passed, she is a frail and sickly woman, and she has no thoughts about living, but she is afraid that she will go a long time ago. ”

On the long street, players stick to the eaves and try to avoid the attacks of the walking corpses.

On the way east, I disturbed several families along the way, but after some explanation, I was warmly welcomed, and personally led them to the granary, and brought some vegetables and pork.

Then, the division of labor began.

It was a special cooking event, in which many people participated, including a boulder that was pulled out of the ground with their bare hands, built by the Assassins with swords, and stacked into a stove.

"Roselle is coming!"

Not daring to drink the water in the town, Zhen Ji's players used their skills to generate a pool of water out of thin air.

Then, Zhou Can (Zhou Yu) lit the fire, Huang Kai cut vegetables, Xiao Ling'er and Han Yichen washed rice, and the others were responsible for watching......

It's rare to see these handsome guys and beauties cooking, and others feel that watching from the sidelines is a pleasure!

But whether the food is delicious or not depends on the level of the chef after all, as for such an important candidate as the cook, after everyone recommended each other by word of mouth, it finally fell to Ye Bai and Shi Lingxue.

Once the ingredients were ready, the others began to retreat into the background, sitting down and chatting.

By the stove, only Ye Bai and Shi Lingxue were still busy.

Shi Lingxue took out the pork from the bamboo basket, washed it with hot water, removed the fat, left the ribs, and skillfully cut it into sections.

Ye Bai peeled the washed potatoes and cut them into shredded potatoes of uniform thickness.

The two stood side by side, each focusing on the delicate task at hand, next to each other and speechless.

Suddenly, Shi Lingxue stacked the cut ribs together, and opened her mouth to break the silence and said, "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?" Ye Bai was puzzled.

"Thank you for doing what I should have done and taking on the pressure I should have borne these days."

Ye Bai smiled and said, "You suddenly became so polite, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable and outspoken, but I'm glad you can come out of the shadows!" ”

Shi Lingxue asked rhetorically: "Are you really not worried about your childhood sweetheart at all?" ”

Ye Bai was quite helpless, these days, there are always players who misunderstand him and Hua Qianyu as boyfriend and girlfriend, and explained: "Qingmei is also a bamboo horse, but she is not the girlfriend in your mouth. ”

Then he sighed and replied: "It's false to say that she is not worried, her life and death are unknown now, and I don't have a clue now." ”

"I can't see it." Shi Lingxue looked at him and shook her head, and said, "You have a hippie smile all day long, and you have more energy to play and play, I think among many people, you are the happiest here, and I haven't seen you say a word of worry." ”

"Worry is not a mouthful, why bother to say it."

Ye Bai looked up at the distant starry sky and said: "I have experienced a lot of failures since I was a child, I encountered a bottleneck in my practice, I couldn't afford to pay the registration fee for participating in martial arts competitions, my only relative passed away, and then I missed the college entrance examination in the same year and missed the university of my dreams.

I am an orphan, I have no one to support me, and I have to taste all the bitter fruits of failure.

I've been annoyed, cried, and scolded God! It's useless.,Slowly I realized.,The worse the mood, the more you have to smile at yourself.,The worse the environment, the more you have to have a game of red dust attitude.,If you even have to embarrass yourself and don't give yourself hope.,What else do I have to fight with this bad world! Anyway, I can't do something as simple as admitting defeat. ”
