Chapter 115: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away
The two walked into Changle County.
As far as the eye can see, it is a dilapidated scene.
Don't say that chickens and dogs are crowing, at this time in the early spring, even the sound of birds can't be heard.
Xiao Sui was shocked when she saw such a scene for the first time, how could she have seen such a scene since she was a child in Liyang.
Everything in front of her is now alive in front of her, and her heart is like a huge stone pressing on her chest, which makes people breathless.
Although Qin Yu was surprised, he had already prepared.
Walk through the gates and into the streets.
Looking around, Qin Yu said:
"Everyone should have gone, and those who didn't leave must have been killed by zombies, let's find a place to rest first, and when we are tonight, we will go to Fengmen Village to see the situation."
"Why don't you go now?" Xiao Sui was a little puzzled.
Qin Yu patiently explained:
"Zombies are afraid of the sun, and they will definitely not appear under the sun in broad daylight, and there are only a handful of zombies who can walk during the day, so we can't see anything during the day."
Xiao Xuan nodded lightly, understanding in his heart.
The two of them then walked along the main road, and although there was no one in the city, most of them fled in a hurry, and it was impossible to take everything with them in places like inns.
After walking for about half a stick of incense, the two came to an inn that looked quite magnificently decorated.
Push the door and enter, and you will be greeted by the dust raised.
The two hurriedly covered their mouths and noses to avoid it, and waited for half a burnt incense time before re-entering the inn lobby.
The tables and chairs inside were very messy, and it could be seen that the innkeeper was in a hurry when he left.
Qin Yu walked to the back of the counter, took a few keys from it at random, and then walked towards the third floor with Xiao Xuan.
picked a fairly tidy room for Xiao Yu to live in, while Qin Yu himself found a room with a quilt casually, cleaned it up casually, and went to bed directly.
Xiao Yu heard that there was no movement outside, and knew that Qin Yu should be sleeping.
The strong sleepiness that had been strong before was eliminated a lot at this moment, and he slowly walked to the bedside, Xiao Xuan pushed open the window and let Yanggu shine in.
The warm spring sun shines comfortably on my body, and when I look down, the fallen leaves on the street below are rolling towards the alleys and corners.
The freshness and sense of expectation when I came to Changle County had completely disappeared. At the moment, all I have in my heart is the fear and nervousness of facing zombies.
If Qin Yu hadn't brought him here, then I was afraid that I would never have the chance to see this kind of scene for the rest of my life.
Now that I think about it, the magnates of Liyang City are like canaries in a cage, fighting a dirty power struggle for the power and identity in their hands.
And this kind of county town far away from Liyang, but when they were fighting, unimaginable tragedies occurred.
Changle County is just a microcosm of the rest of the Great Zhou. Xiao Sui believes that not only here, but other counties must be experiencing the same thing to a greater or lesser extent.
Calmly wrapping her hair behind her ears, Xiao Sui closed the door of the room, came to the bed and lay down slowly, her eyelids trembled slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered.
Now you have to rest, there are other things to do at night, and if you don't have enough energy, you can't be completely focused when it matters.
...
The sun is slowly setting and the weather is getting colder.
Qin Yu, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and stretched his waist.
Get up and go to the window, push open the window and look into the distance.
The sunset renders the horizon, and there is already a hint of twilight in the sky, and I believe that it will be dark soon.
Leaving the room, Qin Yu came to the door of Xiao Xuan's room.
Hearing the sound of even and long breathing from inside, he hesitated for a while, did not choose to knock on the door, but walked downstairs alone and left the inn.
Half an hour passed.
When Xiao Xuan woke up, the room was already dark.
Finding that it was already dark outside, and Qin Yu didn't even come to call himself, Xiao Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly got up, not even having time to tidy up his messy clothes and hair, so he pushed open the door and came to the door of Qin Yu's room.
His room was pitch black, and the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, apparently long gone.
Finding that Qin Yu had actually left alone, Xiao Yu's face was angry and annoyed, he turned around and ran to the staircase, and staggered downstairs, ready to go to him.
As soon as I walked down, I found a few candles lit in the lobby, and there was a smell of meat.
In the past few days, I have eaten dry food, and I have not even eaten fresh meat. Now when I smell this smell, my stomach growls uncontrollably.
At this time, Qin Yu walked out of the back kitchen with rabbit meat, and just happened to see Xiao Xuan, whose clothes were messy and his hair was a little messy, was standing there, his stomach gurgling.
I don't know why, compared to Xiao Yu on weekdays, she at this time gives Qin Yu a more real feeling. There is a little less atmosphere of fireworks in the world, and a little more coquettish and lazy.
"Awake? Since we're awake and come over to eat, let's finish eating early, let's go over early, and strive to rush to Fengmen Village before the hour. ”
Qin Yu just glanced at it, then didn't say anything more, put the rabbit meat and two fried vegetables on the table, and beckoned her to come over for dinner. Fortunately, these people were in a hurry when they left, and they didn't take a lot of things with them in the kitchen, so they didn't worry about running out of food.
Xiao Xuan responded in a daze, and then he sorted out his clothes and hair in hindsight, and came to the table next to the table. I was faintly relieved, and even a little guilty.
It turned out that Qin Yu didn't leave himself at all, but got up to cook. At this moment, the guilt in Xiao Xuan's heart was very gun-like.
After tasting two bites of food, he found that his craftsmanship was actually not bad, and then Xiao Sui couldn't help asking, "Your craftsmanship is good." But the gentleman is far away from cooking, how can you still cook. ”
Mencius said: A gentleman is also a beast, seeing his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. Do you want me to explain it to you? Qin Yu replied lightly.
Regarding the sentence of gentleman and cooking, in fact, most people are misunderstood, in fact, the correct sentence should be this whole sentence, which translates to that:
"The gentleman is glad to see the birds and beasts and other animals alive, and he can't bear to see them die; Hearing their mournful cries as they lay dying, I could not bear to eat their flesh any longer. Therefore, gentlemen usually do not go to the kitchen and stay away from the kitchen. ”
Of course, in feudal society, cooks also belong to the lower nine popular people, and they are not looked down upon, so as a scholar, they naturally have to stay away. To put it bluntly, isn't it just for face and identity?
Xiao Sui was choked like this, but he was not angry, he ate a good meal silently, and then got up and wanted to go back upstairs.
At this time, Qin Yu saw her go upstairs, and couldn't help but say: "Eldest princess, what are you still doing upstairs, it's time for us to go, the time is already a little rushed." ”
"I want to take the lyre down."
"We're going to go over tonight to see what's going on, and we don't have to bring anything like this in the way."
When Xiao Sui heard him say this, he didn't stop, but continued to walk upstairs, and said as he went:
"I'm not comfortable moving in the woods right now, so I'll change into other clothes."
In this regard, Qin Yu didn't say anything more, her long skirt was indeed quite influential.
