Chapter 41: Crossing the Sea of Branches
The door slammed shut, Xia Qing was pulled aside by a few hands, and then there was a few thumps, probably the cabinets and tables were blocked at the door.
The door was crackled and creaked, and it felt like it was in danger.
I don't know how long the trees outside can last, and whether they will implicate other parts of the house, Xia Qing immediately made a decision, and her eyes scanned in the dark, "Yangzi, how many people are in your family, we have to get out of here quickly, I set fire to the tree, and when the fire spreads, I can't stay here!" ”
There were no lights on in the house, the doors and windows were tightly blocked, and before she could get used to the light, Xia Qing saw that everything was dark.
A voice came from the room, "Wait a minute. ”
The flashlight turned on, and Xia Qing saw that there were no less than thirty people crowded next to each other in this room, she gasped, obediently, when did there be so many people in Yangzi's house?
Thanks to family planning, there are only three children, and they are still divided into three families.
The old man, it is said that the old man is a little too much, Yangzi's parents are about the same age as Xia's father and Xia's mother, they work in the field all the year round, they are healthy, and their children are married and start a family and pay back the pension money in a month, and this mood is young when a good person looks at it, it should be said that he is middle-aged.
The other pair should be Yangzi's sister's father-in-law and mother-in-law, these two are teachers who teach, and they look young, but their bodies can't be complimented, and they are estimated to be the biggest drag.
"Boss, there are thirty-one of us in total, and there are only four of us in our family, in addition to my parents-in-law, there are also sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and a few relatives from my grandmother's house...... But the character is good, otherwise my parents wouldn't have thought of reaching out and pulling a hand...... I heard that we store food, and each family has given a large amount of money, by the way, boss, what to do with the materials in the warehouse behind us? It adds up to millions! ”
"Yangzi, don't embarrass this girl, save your life first." Seeing Xia Qing coming over, he took the initiative to introduce, "My surname is Chen, and I am your father-in-law of Sister Huizi." ”
"Uncle Chen, my name is Xia Qing, I grew up with Yangzi and them, my own family." Xia Qing bowed, "You're right, let's save your life first, and the supplies depend on the situation." ”
The jujube tree is too big, and it is difficult to implicate the backyard, so it can only be said that it depends on the situation.
Yangzi's face was painful, but it was someone else, although it was a pity, but there was no inappropriate expression on his face.
"Miss Xia Qing, thank you for coming to save us, you say, what to do, we listen to you." Keiko's sister's husband said while holding the child.
"Okay, then we won't delay...... As you heard just now, I set a fire to burn the tree, and I don't know how long it will burn, and whether it will implicate other places, so everyone follow me as soon as possible, and there are other people outside to pick it up. ”
"Do you all have cotton clothes? If you have it, it's best to wear a few layers of cotton clothes, and splash the outermost layer with water! Bring gloves, bring glasses, and in short, don't have a crack in your body! ”
However, listening to the more frequent whipping of the branches outside, it is estimated that the fire may be smaller.
At the critical moment of their lives, Yangzi and their movements were very fast, and in less than a minute, everyone was wrapped like bears and huddled in the house.
"Yangzi, there are fifteen of you in total, all the men take these knives and walk on the right, the women and children walk on the left, protect the people around you, Teacher Chen and his wife hand it over to me...... I'm going to clear a path in front of you, and you're going to have to move fast behind you, you know? ”
"Understood!"
Very good, it seems that we are still in harmony at the moment.
The cabinet and table at the top door were moved aside, Xia Qing's hand was placed on the door, and the remaining torch was given to Yangzi and asked him to distribute it to the women, "Yangzi, you looked at everyone in the end!" ”
As she spoke, she heard a snap at the door, she quickly opened the door, grabbed the branch that had not had time to retract, and pulled it back violently, the branch broke, and there was a gap in front of the door.
"Run!" Xia Qing took the lead, picked up Mr. Chen and his wife one by one with both hands, rushed forward, ran ten meters away in two seconds, and let go of the two before the next wave of branches came over.
This time, the branches are fierce, covering the sky and the sun, and there is a momentum of catching them all!
And the flames on the trunks are getting smaller and smaller.
Hey, the yards in this rural area are big, the main house is more than 30 meters from the gate, she has walked 10 meters, and the last Yangzi and his daughter-in-law have just gone out.
Xia Qing thought without hesitation, opened her arms and hugged most of the branches, dragged them back hard, and handed the rest to the people behind, "Knife cut, woman, hurry up and run first!" ”
Adapt, the tree is too lush, there are too many branches, if you don't hurry, they will be surrounded by branches, and once they are surrounded, it will be meat on the cutting board!
If it weren't for Xia Qing to wrap everyone tightly and not leak a single gap, as long as these branches touch the skin, the tips of the branches can immediately penetrate the weak skin, insert blood vessels and flesh, and instantly suck people into dry corpses!
Of course, Xia Qing would not tell Yangzi such a scary thing, once there was fear in their hearts, these people might not dare to step out of the house.
These men are not bad, none of them took the opportunity to run away, they all took knives to help chop, more than a dozen people did it, the speed was very fast, as soon as the branches were broken, Xia Qing immediately let go, and quickly took the rest of the people to catch up with the women and children in front.
Almost as soon as they converged, they ushered in overwhelming darkness again.
This time, there was no need for Xia Qing to say, Yangzi rushed up with the men, relying on several layers of cotton clothes on his body, some of them hugged them, letting the women and children go first, and the other part of them were waving big knives and chopping and chopping!
After the hands were cut off, the men consciously ran to the front to meet the new branches, and the men used their bodies to block the zombie tree branches, leaving time for the women and children behind them to run.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu and the others outside the courtyard rushed in with torches, and the frightened Xia Qing hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Yu, don't come in!" ”
Dongzi reacted the fastest, and immediately pulled Xiaoyu back, and when the others saw this, they retreated without saying a word!
Xia Qing let out a sigh of relief, Xiaoyu and the others were wearing a thin coat, and the sum of the four of them was not enough for the zombie tree to swallow in one bite!
On the contrary, those women and children, anyway, wore several layers of cotton clothes, and the branches of the zombie tree had not yet reached the hardness level that they would have been a few months later, so it was not so easy to break the cotton clothes, and it would take at least four or five times to break the cotton clothes.
Finally, the first child was taken into the arms by the stone, and soon the other women also came out of the yard to a safe place.
"Let go, run!" At the same time as Xia Qing's voice fell, she let go and ran towards the door, waving a machete to cut off the branches blocking in front of her.
But there were so many that almost the branches of the entire tree gathered and the speed stagnated.
