Chapter 106: Pick up Nini
In the evening, when everyone had dinner, Gu Yu and I came to the hillside outside the plain alone, and he took out a bead from his pocket, which was the one that was plucked out of Mei Yue's belly.
In ancient times, only the demon had Neidan, and Mei Yue said that she was a human, and this thing should not be called Neidan, but after all, my knowledge is not as good as Gu Yu, so I simply asked him to popularize the gossip for me.
But Gu Yu said that this thing is really called Neidan, if ordinary people are 'infected' by the demon's Neidan, a demon transformation will occur, and it is very likely that Meiyue has a relationship with some monster.
I thought of the fox whose head was pulled off by me, and the fox in the arms of the person in the painting, and I realized: "Do you remember the painting on the second floor of the clubhouse, in which Meiyue is wearing a cheongsam and holding a white fox in her arms, this Neidan may be the white fox." ”
The monster is gone, it's just an ordinary animal, and we can't know the relationship between Mei Yue and the white fox now, but Mei Yue's cultivation method of collecting essence and eating people's hearts and livers is very similar to the legendary demon fox.
"Actually, I have dealt with this similar incident before, that time it was a wolf demon that was hunted, and then Nedan turned it in, it is said that this thing is harmful to people, but it is very good for non-humans."
Of course, the definition of this benefit is not very accurate, for evil monsters, swallowing the inner pill of other demons can boost their skills, so for evil demons, it can be regarded as a great benefit.
However, Gu Yu just took it out and showed it to me, and he didn't seem to mean to give it to me, he said that this kind of thing that has not yet determined the effect cannot be eaten casually.
I didn't bother to contaminate Mei Yue's things, but when I said this, I suddenly remembered something, so I asked him what the bone he gave me was for.
During the days of suffering in the experimental center, the bone that was close to me disappeared inexplicably, and I am sure that it was not found and could not have been lost.
This question is often ignored and forgotten by me, and now that I think about it, I asked it, but Gu Yu said that he didn't know what it was.
Then he thought about it, to be precise, recalled, and then said, "Have you heard of Wan?" It is a kind of jewel that is placed in the mouth of a dead man. That bone was what I held in my mouth when I unearthed it, and it was the only burial object in the coffin, so it should have a special meaning for me. After joining the military, I asked an expert to help me see it, and he said that there was an inscription on the bone, which could only be seen with a magnifying glass, and the text on it was the extinct Sogdian script. ”
"What Tewen?" I asked.
"Su, the millet of corn, of course, this is the transliterated name, this kind of writing does not belong to the Han nation, Dunhuang Tibetan scripture cave has unearthed Buddhist scriptures written in Sogdian."
"So you're crooked?"
"Not necessarily, at that time, there were already trade contacts between the Central Plains and neighboring countries, and there were foreign languages in the coffin, which did not mean that the owner of the coffin was a foreigner. I just think that this bone may be a talisman to keep you safe, so I sent it to you, maybe it can ward off evil spirits. ”
Our experience under the mine was really strange, it was a wicked place, and I still haven't figured out how the craftsmen died at the same time and were frozen on a stake.
Gu Yu gave me his only funeral gift to ward off evil spirits, but he didn't even explain it, and the only corpse herb preparation, he also fed me for nothing, without saying a word.
"You, I think my title of Lei Feng should be given to you, just know how to pay, don't ask for anything in return."
"Whoever said it, it's already paid off."
Gu Yu took me into his arms, looked up at the moon in the sky, I leaned on his solid chest, and said with a little pity: "It's an antique anyway, and when the world is peaceful in the future, it should be able to sell for a lot of money." ”
"You want a lot of money?"
Gu Yu asked seriously, I was amused by his serious eyes, and his subtext seemed to say, 'Then I'll rob you of a bank'.
"Funny to you, but when it comes to money, we have to discuss, now that there are few people in the camp, food and daily necessities can be divided equally, or distributed according to work, if there are more people in the future, there must be a market, so how to determine the currency and prices of transactions?"
"I discussed with them at today's meeting, and we don't have such conditions for minting coins yet, so let's barter for the time being. The distribution of materials is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and high according to the danger of work, and those who are willing to engage in intermediate and senior work can participate in training and follow the team to activities outside the mountain after the beginning of spring. ”
"Okay, anyway, there are few people now, and there are few old and weak women and children, by the way-" I patted Gu Yu's arm and said with annoyance: "I forgot a little guy, Nini is still waiting for me, I should go and pick her up and her grandfather!" ”
"She's not dead?!" Gu Yu was a little surprised.
"It was a safe zone, and I thought they wanted to take advantage of Nini, so they took her out and sent her back to the village."
Gu Yu touched the top of my head, and his tone was a little helpless, "You, cunning." ”
I put my arm around him and broke my fingers, calculating the way back and forth, I should be able to return on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is not good to leave the little guy and Old Man Han behind for the New Year.
So, I came to a 'trip' that I said I would go, and when everyone in the camp had fallen asleep in the evening, I informed Long Tao and my parents, and Gu Yu and I drove in the car to pick up Nini.
The next morning, we parked at the entrance of the village, the village was still the same as when I left, in such a quiet environment, Mr. Han must have heard the sound of the motor and knew that there were people from outside the village.
During this time, I was too busy to take care of Xiao Nizi, and when I thought of seeing her soon, I was still a little anxious, and as soon as Gu Yu parked the car, I jumped down and ran to the village.
When I arrived at Nini's house, the protective measures I had taken before leaving were still there, so I jumped on the courtyard wall and climbed into the yard, calling Nini's name while still calling her name.
Old Man Han poked his head out of the room and opened his mouth towards me, with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.
"What's wrong with you? Something went wrong? "I stood at the base of the courtyard wall, carefully perceiving the movement around me, thinking that there were zombies nearby.
There are no ordinary zombies and high-level zombies, but I smell people, of course, not only Old Man Han, but also dozens of people around.
The high-level zombies have been around for too long, and their sense of smell is not as sensitive as it was at the beginning of the apocalypse, so they didn't smell the smell of these people at the first time.
Nowadays, bandits are rampant, and the courtyard wall of Nini's house can only prevent ordinary zombies, and if bandits break into the village, their grandparents and grandchildren will not be able to fight back at all.
I was thinking about how to find out all the people around me without hurting Old Man Han, but I didn't think that the other party would make the first move.
Old Man Han was pushed out of the house, the back of his head was held against a pistol, and he slowly stepped out of the door, but the person behind him did not show his face, hiding behind the old man, blocking his body with the gate.
"Don't move, if you move, I'll blow this old guy's head!" A fierce man speaks a classic line from TV.
"OK, I'm not moving."
"Brothers, do it!" As soon as the man gave the order, dozens of people rushed out of the backyard, and as soon as these people appeared, they raised their guns and shot at me, but they used hemp/drunk guns, I didn't take it seriously, of course, I was also worried that if I fired back, it would cause Old Man Han to lose his life, after all, I don't dare to guarantee the speed of taking things in the air faster than the other party pulling the trigger.
Since they used a numb/drunk gun, they didn't want my life, I was hit by more than a dozen needles, this pain was nothing, I pretended to be anesthetized, and fell to the ground without moving.
A couple of people pushed out of the backyard an iron cage with iron bars the thickness of my wrist and strange runes written on them in red paint.
The men had come clearly prepared, and I wondered as they carried me into an iron cage with no lock on the door, and a thin man had taped a yellow talisman to the door.
I don't know if they are catching demons or zombies, at this time, the gun on Old Man Han's head has been removed, and the person behind the door walked out, I look at this person a little familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it for a while.
Old Man Han's arms were tied, and as soon as the gun was removed from his head, he immediately rushed up to bite off the rune paper on the cage door.
The man with the gun caught up with him in a few steps and grabbed his arm, and glanced at the person next to him, and immediately two strong men rushed over and pressed the shoulders of the old man Han, he was a thin old man, where could he earn a young man, and was easily dragged into the house.
The old man kicked his legs so hard that he even kicked off his shoes, and I couldn't bear it, but I had to wait for him to enter the house before I cleaned up these guys.
"Daqiang—she's a good person—" Old Man Han shouted, suddenly silent, perhaps knocked unconscious, or gagged.
Daqiang ......
I searched for a face that could match this name in my memories, and yes, Mr. Han mentioned this name to me, and it was his son's name.
And this face that makes me feel familiar, I have seen it in a group photo of their family, Han Qiang ignored the father in his house, walked to the cage, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and shook it in front of my eyes.
"This is the special medicine you made, I know you are a zombie, as long as you give me the formula, our well water will not interfere with the river water, how about it?"
The bottle was already empty, I leaned on the iron fence and squinted at him, eighty percent of Nini had eaten up the pills, and when she heard that there was a special medicine, she became greedy and took her father as a hostage, and came to design and capture me, forcing me to tell me the formula for the pills.
As for why he came back, I wasn't interested, I just wanted to know where Nini was, so I ignored him and focused on finding the high-level zombies.
The ancient genes injected by Wenbo Dye into me can allow me to detect the existence of high-level zombies within a certain range, but the effect is not very good at present, if the aura of the nearby high-level zombies is not strong, or if there is something else that distracts me, it will make me ignore this perception.
Han Qiang was ignored by me, sneered, and pulled the wire at the corner of the cage, this wire was wrapped around the bottom of each iron bar, and the end extended to the outside of the cage, about two meters long, and the end of the wire was held by Han Qiang at this moment.
