In the early morning, the small courtyard of the Xiang family was warm and lively, Xiang Sheng was coughing and sipping cigarettes while carrying the smoke pot, not to mention enjoying the appearance of swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

Shi Jian looked at him helplessly, he didn't know how many times he had been reminded from yesterday to today, he just didn't listen.

A person in his fifties, who is not too young, has just been drained of the corpse toxin, and his body is still very weak and needs to be well conditioned.

"Ahem!" Xiang Sheng coughed violently twice, and said with a smile: "Son, look at what I do, I won't eat this pot after sipping." ”

"It's only good to do what you say, you don't care about your own body, what's the use of us cherishing it."

Xu Zhenren grunted, raised his head and said with a smile: "Master Xiang, Shi Daoyou cares about you, you have to listen to his words." ”

Xiang Sheng said angrily: "Brother pretended to talk about my brother, your injuries are worse than mine, and you almost asked your children to drive you back to your hometown, and it's not that you are smoking." ”

Xu Zhenren glanced at Zhang Daring who was basking in the sun next to him, and sighed: "You are blessed, unlike me, you are alone, no one cares, no one reminds you." ”

Zhang Daring tilted his head and said, "Master, you didn't listen to what I said." ”

", no one said how do you know I don't listen?"

Zhang Daring asked, "You will listen to what I say?" ”

"Of course."

"Give me the pipe."

Xu Zhenren immediately handed the cigarette holder to Zhang Daring, Zhang Daring was not polite, took it and sucked it up, took two puffs, and praised with a look of enjoyment: "Good smoke!" ”

Xu Zhenren was so angry that he was half dead, "Rabbit cub! ”

"Haha!" Xiang Sheng laughed loudly.

Shi Jian couldn't help laughing, he thought that Zhang Daring couldn't sip cigarettes, but looking at his skillful appearance, it is estimated that he usually has no less snort, but his addiction to smoking is not as loud as Xu Zhenren.

There was a knock on the door, Shi Jian got up and went over to open the door, and saw that the person who knocked on the door turned out to be Yao Qianzong of the Qianshui County General Administration. The night before yesterday, everyone had dealt with zombies together, had a face-to-face match, and had some friendship, Shi Jian hurriedly invited him in.

Walking into the courtyard, Yao Qian always hugged his fists at the four of them and said: "Shi Daochang, Master Xiang, Xu Daochang, Zhang Daochang, the magistrate went to the yamen of the state capital to report the loss to the prefect, and before leaving, he specially asked me to come over and thank the four volunteers for their help the night before yesterday." ”

"Lift it up!"

The four Qing soldiers each came in with a small box, and Yao Qian opened the lid to reveal a shiny silver ingot, "A small thank you gift is not a tribute, please accept it." ”

Shi Jian glanced at it and found that the silver ingots in the box were not exactly the same, the most one was at least five hundred taels, and the least was one hundred taels, full of sincerity.

"Let the magistrate break the bank, let it go." Shi Jian and Shandao.

He doesn't pretend to be a master with his head in the water, and pushes the silver sent to him out, and the master also wants to eat. desperately protected the people of Lishui County, it was reasonable to receive some thank-you gifts, and he dared to accept as much as the county government sent.

Shi Jian accepted it, Xiang Sheng, Xu Zhenren, and Zhang Daring naturally would not refuse. They were happy, Yao Qian was always happy, hello, hello, everyone, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

Xiang asked Mr. Yao Qian to sit down and smoke a cigarette, but Mr. Yao Qian took out a cigarette pot out of nowhere and accompanied the two smokers to swallow the clouds and spit out the smoke. Xiang Sheng ignored Shi Jian's gaze and refilled the pot beautifully.

"Mr. Qian, how many people died in the water the night before yesterday, has the county government counted it?" Xiang Sheng asked.

Mr. Yao Qian's face was heavy and said: "Counting the zombies from Shili Town, a total of 656 people have died, which does not rule out the fact that there are leaks." ”

"Six hundred and fifty-six?!" Shi Jian and Xiang Sheng exclaimed.

Xiang Sheng coughed fiercely twice, and said in a low tone: "In a few days, I am afraid that the cry will shake the sky, and the whole city will be silent." ”

Not counting the people of Shili Town, more than 300 people died in the county alone, and the scene that Xiang Sheng said will definitely appear.

Mr. Yao Qian said gratefully: "Fortunately, the night before yesterday, with the help of several great sages, the people of the whole county worked together to fight against zombies, so that the loss was minimized." Otherwise, more than 600 people died, and maybe the entire county town of Lishui would become a zombie city. ”

Xu Zhenren praised: "Mr. Yao Qian is a great sage, you led the officers and soldiers of the county to resist to the death, blocking most of the zombies on Fuqian Street, preventing them from running around, and you have made great contributions!" ”

"Xu Daochang praised it falsely, Yao Mou didn't dare to be ashamed!"

Yao Qian is humble on the surface, but he is a little proud in his heart, no matter whether others admit it or not, anyway, he thinks that he has a great credit and is definitely worthy of Xu Zhenren's praise.

"Mr. Yao Qian, how are the villagers of Shili Town resettled?" Shi Jian suddenly asked.

"The General Administration of Qian sent someone back to Shili Town."

"All sent back?"

"Yes......"

Seeing that Shi Jian cared about this matter, Mr. Yao Qian's heart instantly rose, and he asked uneasily: "Chief Shi, is there anything wrong?" Isn't there still a zombie in Ten Mile Town? ”

Shi Jian smiled, "Don't be nervous Yao Qian, the black coffin that appeared in the county seat the night before yesterday came from a wasteland underground in the north of Shili Town, I want to ask a local from Shili Town to take me to the wasteland to see on the spot." ”

Xu Zhenren nodded and said: "To be able to breed such a strange zombie, that piece is very famous, and you really have to take a good look at it." Shi Daoyou, I am familiar with Shili Town, I will accompany you. ”

"Your ...... Wounds"

Xu Zhenren waved his hand magnificently, "If you take a few steps, you can't die." ”

"How can you let the two Dao Masters walk to Ten Mile Town?" Yao Qian always rushed to the Qing soldiers outside the door and ordered: "Go and prepare three sedan chairs." ”

"Yes, Mr. Sen."

The Qing soldiers went as ordered, and Yao Qian always did not miss the opportunity to make friends with the two masters, and said: "Shi Daochang, Xu Daochang, I will personally escort you to Shili Town." ”

Shi Jian subconsciously wanted to refuse, feeling that it was too public, and then thought that his and Xu Zhenren's injuries were not healed, so he followed Yao Qianzong's kindness and became corrupt.

The three of them came to Shili Town in a sedan chair, although most of the villagers came back, but the town was still deserted, and the passers-by occasionally passed by with sad faces, and it was difficult to hide the pain.

Shi Jian sighed secretly, the tragedy has happened, and it can't be changed, so let time slowly dilute everything.

He is more concerned about the wasteland where the old man's house was built, and the reason is not only what Xu Zhenren said.

As far as Shi Jian knew, there were many mysteries and limitations in the method of dead towns, if the wasteland was a place to seal off zombies, then there must be magic weapons used to cast spells underground, and clues about the origin of zombies' identities might be found from these magic weapons.

The corpse path yin thunder is definitely not a magical power that ordinary zombies have. If you don't thoroughly understand its details, Shi Jian can't sleep well.

"This is it." Xu Zhenren pointed to a hollowed wasteland in front of him and said.

Shi Jian nodded, took out a gossip plate from his satchel, and looked for the location of the tomb.

The wasteland area is very large, the tomb has been filled in by the old man, and everyone in the Xiang family has become zombies, so no one knows the exact location of the tomb, so it can only be relocated.

"It's so heavy, it should be here." Shi Jian stopped, watched the pointer on the gossip plate turn back and forth in this direction, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Yao Qian, call a few people to come and dig up the soil." ”
