Chapter 001: Playing with the Corpse
Yukimura, a silly boy, Qiu'er casually gave him the name he married when he was dug up from the pile of dead people at the mass grave in Gaoliu Village, Lizhou.
"I still have half a bag of water here, and you can only take one sip! The rest must be returned to me. Qiu'er swallowed and handed the bag to Yukimura.
"For... What should I call Yukimura? The silly boy eagerly opened the bag and took a sip.
"Hopefully, I'll be lucky enough to make it to the next village alive!"
Qiu'er really snatched the water from his hand with only a sip in his hand, but Yukimura still smiled very happily, and after living for 16 years, someone didn't dislike him and gave him a name.
"Thank you. Thank you for helping me! ”
Watching Qiu'er greedily drink the bag of water full of dirt, Yukimura swallowed his saliva as well.
"I didn't save you to thank you! This girl's name is Qiu'er! It's playing with corpses, playing with corpses to distribute dead people's wealth, and if I don't have a strong laborer to carry the corpse for me, I will die of exhaustion sooner or later! ”
Qiu'er stuffed the water bag into her arms like a baby, and picked up a neat body she had just touched before drinking from a pile of corpses and threw it aside.
"By the way, your life is quite big, and you haven't been infected with the corpse plague!" Qiu'er looked at the ragged Yukimura with some disbelief.
Yukimura wiped his dark face, not knowing how to answer.
"Then don't be stunned, if you want to drink water again, we have to find some good goods!"
So, on the mass grave full of corpses, accompanied by a disgusting fishy smell, Yukimura and Qiu'er patiently rummaged through it.
Lizhou, a continent that has never seen what a rainy day looks like, every minute, every second, there are residents who die of thirst or infected with the corpse plague, and there are all kinds of people here.
"What are you doing! We must rush to the next village at dawn, or we will both die when the living corpses come!" ”
"Living corpses..."
Yukimura, who heard these two words, was a little flustered.
He has seen the living corpse in Qiu'er's mouth, and just last night in the village where he lived because someone was thirsty and committed suicide with broken bowls, and the living corpse that smelled the smell of blood attacked there, more than 20 refugees, including Huzi and Xiaobao, who had been bullying him, were all bitten to death, he didn't know why they didn't bite him, he just felt that he was knocked unconscious by something in the chaos, and when he woke up again, he saw Qiu'er.
"Look at your cowardice, frightened by the living corpse, right? There's a lot of dirt in the island! What is a living corpse? This is going to make you encounter something more powerful, and you won't just lie down and wait for death? ”
Qiu'er dragged the copper bracelet off the wrist of a female corpse with a look of disgust and put it into a cloth bag.
"Awesome..? Will they be able to come in? Winter family. The army is not stationed. Off the border? Yukimura was visibly frightened by Qiu'er's words, and his body trembled.
"Speak to speak! You hurry up and work, so many soldiers die in the Dong family army every year, the conscription fee and the settlement fee are all sponsored by the three nobles, and most of the people's energy is focused on protecting the nobles, isn't it normal to sneak in a few demons? Qiu'er didn't even lift her head, and her professional acuity prompted her to keep groping around on a sturdy male corpse.
"Autumn. . . Qiu'er. Don't touch it. He's rotten. ”
After that, Yukimura covered his mouth and felt sick.
Qiu'er ignored Yukimura's words and continued to touch, a bright smile appeared on her face when her hand slid to the waist of the man's corpse.
"What do you know, look! Another bag of water! Follow this girl and mix well! Save your dog's life! ”
Qiu'er raised the water bag and shook it at Yukimura.
Yukimura looked at the entire bag of water that Qiu'er touched from the man's corpse and worshiped, "You're really... Terrible! How did you.. Know everything? ”
"Give! This little half bag of water will reward you! If you want to make a living in Lizhou, you must be able to point out the doorway, bounty hunters, winter family soldiers, and corpse players, which one doesn't have their own ability? Qiu'er greedily took the water bag she had just touched into her arms.
"Thank you!"
Yukimura held the small half-bag of water given by Qiu'er, and didn't know what to say for a while.
seemed to be tired, Qiu'er stopped what she was doing and said, "I knew I wouldn't call you Yukimura, I should have called you wood!" ”
"For... What the? ”
"You still ask why, this girl is a closed disciple of the corpse ancestor, and how many lives of refugees like you have been saved by her chivalrous deeds! How many people want to worship me as a teacher for the sake of survival, I have refused! How do you know thank you? Wouldn't it be possible to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix? Qiu'er simply ran over, looking like a teacher asking for guilt.
"Division... Master... Yukimura shouted resignedly.
"In vain! In this way, the water is enough, and the dead here can't turn out any big oil and water, let's set off, I'll take you to the next village to see if you can do a big vote! Qiu'er shook off her bloody hand.
"Oh!"
"What a piece of wood... Hold this up! ”
Qiu'er threw over a sack and walked to the mass grave with his hands behind his back, Yukimura opened the bag and looked at it, it was full of ornaments taken from the dead body, the good ones were silver, the bad ones were copper, and there was a slightly more complete set of clothes.
"Clothes. Do you want to? ”
Yukimura shouted.
"That's for you, look at your beggar-like appearance, how can you mess with me? Find a haystack and change it, don't stain my eyes! Qiu'er waved her hand.
Indeed, Yukimura has never had a complete set of clothes, and since he can remember, he has followed the refugees in the village, looking for water everywhere during the day, curling up in a broken room at night, and he doesn't dare to come out.
Yukimura found a pile of barren grass, changed his clothes, spat on his torn clothes, wiped his face vigorously and walked out, as if he had become Qiu'er's apprentice, he had been reborn, and his whole mood was much better.
"Hurry up, the next village is still far away..."
After that, Qiu'er who turned around and saw Yukimura was stunned, turned her face over, and stared at it for a long, long time.
"How... What's wrong? ”
Yukimura touched his face and asked.
"It's okay! I didn't expect you to look pretty good, but this white face is not bloody, and you are so thin that I have to find you something to eat! ”
Qiu'er led Yukimura to walk on the official road, there was no one on the desolate road, suddenly a wild dog jumped out of the grass, and looked carefully at the dog's eyes were blood-red, obviously caused by eating the corpse infected with the corpse of the corpse for a long time, and the dog's mouth was still hung with white foam, I nervously covered my head with both hands, but the dog ignored us and ran directly in the direction of the mass grave.
"They... Why not. Bite us? ”
Yukimura was a little surprised, when looking for water in the past, the team was chased by this kind of dog, and many of them were infected with the corpse plague and died.
Qiu'er glanced at Yukimura and said, "You are mixing with us when we play with corpses, we all have plague repellent incense on our bodies, and animals infected with the plague and even living corpses dare not approach us!" How else to work? ”
"Then you... How not. Kill those. Dog? They will arrive. Hurt people! Yukimura was a little confused.
"Apprentice! Who cares if anyone lives or dies these days? The dog was killed, it was dark, and we were killed when we met a ruthless one! Qiu'er explained with some impatience.
As we continued to walk on the official road, the sun gradually went down to the west, and when I passed a new grave with white silk, a ruined village appeared in front of me.
"There is a village! There are refugee slums near the village! There's a place to rest tonight! Check it out first! Qiu'er pointed to a flag planted on a house at the entrance of the village, and the word "wine" was written on the flag full of holes.
