Chapter 1 Land Temple
The sun scorched the earth, the heat wave rolled, and the distant light and shadow were distorted in the heat.
One word is hot!
The fourteen-year-old girl named Tao Qini, who had been replaced, had been dizzy since she woke up a day ago, looking at the desolation in front of her.
At this time, Tao Qini leaned against the earthen wall behind her and sat on the hay, figuring out the current situation first, after the picture.
From the few pale memories in the mind of the original owner, Tao Qini, I know that the era I am in now is a dynasty called Dayan, and I don't know anything else.
The old Tao family is too poor, and they are tenants for the landlord, the man farms for the landlord, and the woman is a rough maid for the landlord.
Over the years, I have lived by eating grass roots and tree bark, and I have seen grains, but I have never eaten them.
In the year of the great drought, even the bark of the grass roots was gone, and the family of four is now on the way to escape the famine.
Tao Qini looked at this dilapidated land temple with a blank gaze, a room, about ten square meters, dedicated to the lord of the land, simple mud tires, already mottled, you can see that the black hat on her head has no crown, the cane in her hand is half broken, and the robe she is wearing has obvious cracks, as if it will be broken when you touch this mud tire lightly.
There was a big hole in the roof, and the scorching sunlight shone down, and now the weathered grandfather of the land could only vaguely see that he was kind and kind, bowing his back, and was a kind old man.
Tao Qini looked at the pillars supporting the house with a child's waist, and the wood carved the upper couplet: somewhat aura, and the lower couplet: The size is an official
Tao Qini smiled in her heart, the ghost fairy who is in charge of a piece of land in the legend of the land grandfather, lives underground, relies on incense to worship, absorbs energy, and is the lowest level among the immortals, as the saying goes: Don't take the land master as a master.
It's really as the horizontal critic said: dominate one side.
The room is not big, and there are two crooked people against the wall opposite Tao Qini, father and son, who are Tao's neighbors surnamed Fu.
More than a dozen families in a village fled the famine together, and the drought affected more than one village and one county, and these people gradually converged, that is, on the official road.
dragged the family with the mouth, even the one with the drag, took all the belongings, and rushed towards the direction of the capital with great difficulty.
And just half a month ago, when they couldn't even find grass roots, tree bark, firewood, and no water source, people who were hungry turned their attention to each other.
In the wolf howl on a dark and windy night, people with green light hissed and killed each other, yes, they were biting, and in order to survive, they grabbed people like zombies and bit them......
Father Tao woke up from hunger, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he woke up the people around him and desperately escaped.
God favors them, the four members of the Tao family and the three members of the Fu family used their strength to eat, and they even escaped with a rolling crawl, and now only the two of them are left walking together.
It was supposed to be a family of five, but the two daughters had already been sold by them on the road for two bowls of millet.
Women are always sacrificed first, and in the name of it, they are still voluntary.
Now the mistress of the Fu family, Liu, is left to dig the grassroots.
At this time, Lao Fu and Xiao Fu were unkempt, skinny, out of shape, like skeletons, ragged, patches on patches, and wearing short brown with invisible cloth color.
Look at the people! I don't give much of my own clothes.
Her hands were as thin as dead branches, her skin was dark and rough, and her nails were full of dirt, and the miserable original Tao Qini really wouldn't take a second look.
The weather was hot, and the two people opposite were even shirtless, but they still couldn't stop the sweat from raining, and their bodies were washed into a piece of dirt.
Fortunately, this land temple is dilapidated and ventilated everywhere, otherwise the smell is really unbearable.
Tao Qini looked at the two of them, her lifeless eyes, and from time to time she looked at the young man who was sitting cross-legged on the broken straw mat under the lame offering table, with his eyes closed.
Lao Fu licked his chapped and colorless lips, and his numb eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness and greed, as if looking at the best delicacy.
Although the young man's face was gray, he was much cleaner than them, white and tender, wearing a green shirt, and the bun on his head was wrapped in a square scarf of the same color.
This strange atmosphere permeated this small land temple.
Tao Qi Nicole is in no mood to care about the life and death of others, what she cares about now is how to get out alive.
Turning his gaze to the parents of the original body, honest tenant farmers, their hometown was hit by a disaster, and even the landlords in the city fled from the famine, not to mention these people whose families were surrounded by walls.
I had to take all my belongings and push the only wheelbarrow, and follow the people in the village out to survive.
But this starvation is all over the wilderness, thousands of miles away, how can it be so easy to survive.
Especially that night, it was like a nightmare, and they were all frightened to varying degrees, but the survival of Chiguoguo was in front of them, and this fright was insignificant.
Tao Qini looked at the original parents, and at this time, her mother Shen was pounding the elm bark in a palm-sized bluestone mortar.
And his father, Tao Fifteen, put the mashed elm bark on a stone mill the thickness of an adult's waist, and crushed the elm bark into powder with his hand, and then boiled it into porridge.
That's right, now they eat these, compared to eating Guanyin soil, it's better to eat tree bark and plants.
Speaking of bark, thanks to the young man under the table, if the Tao family escaped and met him, under his leadership to find the water source and bark, their final outcome would also be death.
The honest peasants can't even find the north, how can they survive in this situation.
Scholars are well-informed, this is what Tao's father said, and now he worships the young man as a god.
Her brother Tao Liuyi, picking up the dead grass and holding the flint and steel crackling, lit a fire outside the door, intending to boil the water in the clay pot on the improvised stove built by three stones.
One of the broken temple doors of the double door is gone, and the remaining half of the door is crumbling, as if it will fall down in the next moment.
As soon as Shen raised his eyes to meet Tao Qini's dark Gujing Wubo's eyes, a smile appeared on his simple face, "Nier, the meal will be ready in a while." "There was a lack of breath in his voice, and he was obviously hungry.
Tao Qini nodded mechanically, leaned her head against the earthen wall, and stared blankly at the clear blue sky.
For an emotionless killing machine, I am really not used to this kind of warmth.
Shen looked at Tao Qini, who was silent, approached Tao Fifteen worriedly, and whispered, "His father, his father." ”
"Huh?" Tao fifteen snorted softly, like a big hand with rough dry bark, pushing the stone mill in his hand.
"Why don't I think Niel woke up differently?" Shen secretly glanced at Tao Qini, and said in a low voice.
"What's the difference?" Tao Fifteen's rough voice replied to her.
"I've been shouting that I'm hungry, and suddenly I'm silent, which makes people worry." Shen's black and white eyes said with worry.
"It's useless to know that it's useless, it's better to save some effort!" Tao fifteen lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
"Aren't you scared?" Shen said worriedly.
"What if you're scared? As long as you're still panting, you're alive. Tao fifteen urged without raising his head, "Hurry up, add bark." ”
"Oh! Oh! Hearing this, Shen hurriedly put the mashed elm bark in the stone mill eye.
Shen tilted his head and pounded the elm bark in his hand, but he couldn't think of the reason, so he simply didn't want to, and concentrated on the work in his hands, no matter how it was, to solve this meal first
Tao Qini couldn't hold it anymore after sitting hungry for a while, so she simply lay down, closed her eyes, and knew her daughter Mo Ruomu, and she had to admire Shen's keen feeling in her heart.
&*&
It's not quite accurate to say that she is a killing machine, to be exact, she killed zombies.
As the best genetically modified person in the empire, with strong physical strength, excellent learning ability, eliminating emotional genes, killing people without blinking an eye and being cold-hearted, is definitely the best weapon.
When encircling and suppressing the zombies, due to the wrong information, the zombies were dragged by the back of her palace when retreating, buying time for the brothers who were born and died, but they were eaten up by the zombies.
Wrong information? Tao Qini's eyes were slightly cold, how could an empire with powerful technology have misinformation!
It's just a victim of interests, although the common enemy of mankind is zombies, but the traditional skill of intrigue has never stopped.
I just hope that the brothers can return to the base safely.
When I woke up again, I didn't expect to come here, although on the way to escape from the wilderness, compared to the gray sky without the sun, there are green mountains and green waters, and the sweet and intoxicating air. In the future, there will be delicious food in ancient books, which can make her feast, and there is no disgusting corpse smell.
Starvation doesn't seem so hard anymore, provided you get out alive.
Wait a minute! What is it? Storage capsules are also coming, what is this? I can't use it when I come!
There are all kinds of high-tech products in it, but there is no food she needs now, which is carbohydrates.
Technology has developed to the point that there is no need for grains to supplement nutrition, and it is also the end of the world, and the natural conditions cannot be cultivated!
People have developed a variety of nutrient solutions, but these are not edible now, without strong body support, these nutrient solutions will only explode and die immediately if they are drunk.
What a joy for nothing!
Just as he was about to leave his body, he found that something he had never seen appeared in his storage capsule.
Water! It is good to have water, but in a dry land, there is no water source, and death can come to them at any time.
Tao Qini said self-deprecatingly: If you can't find the bark, you can be watered, and you can support it for a few days.
A shallow pit with a diameter of one meter collapsed in the center of the capsule, bubbling with water, but not overflowing.
It's weird, as long as you don't drown your storage capsule, you don't have time to care about it now.
The most important thing now is to fill your stomach, even if you hunt, you have to have a cold weapon in your hand!
Fortunately, there is a cold weapon for hand-to-hand combat in the storage capsule, so that she will not be blinded, but how to take it out is reasonable!
In order to rule the interests of the current imperial court, peasants are not allowed to possess iron tools, even kitchen knives.
Tao Qini's mind turned slightly, she opened her eyes slightly, and turned her gaze to Grandpa Land, it seems that you have to borrow your old man's golden body.
