Chapter 20: Change
"We will go to Qamdo now, as for finding those bandits, we can only find a way later." Chu Zheng sighed and said.
Some time before, he and his sister went to a ruined temple.
By the time they got there, the ruined temple was empty.
Some of the footprints were also washed away by the heavy rain, and it was impossible to track down the bandits
Therefore, the matter of revenge can only be postponed.
"yes, okay." Chu Qingqing responded, but his heart relaxed.
She was really afraid that her brother would take revenge.
It's not that she doesn't have hatred in her heart.
On the contrary, she longed for the robbers. It's just that she only has one relative with her younger brother now, and she really doesn't want any accidents for her only relative.
Then the two turned around and disappeared into the forest.
In the middle of the night, because they were afraid of encountering wild beasts on the road, Chu Zheng and Chu Qingqing found the village where they had killed wolves before and rested.
At night, it rained again.
The dripping rain hit the eaves, bringing a fine crashing sound.
"It's been raining a lot a lot lately, and next year we can farm again. Life will be better in the future. Chu Qingqing stuffed the wood into the bonfire, looked at the rain curtain outside, and said softly.
Chu Zheng was silent.
Now the catastrophe is mainly due to the previous drought, and now there are a few timely rains, and next spring, if there is no accident, it is indeed possible to grow food.
It's just that he also knows very well that many people don't have enough food to carry this winter.
After all, if the peasants had food, they would not have revolted and would not have fled.
Now it seems that the only way to do this is to wait for the imperial court to issue food to let these peasants survive this crisis.
"Hopefully." Chu Zheng nodded and put his hand on the bonfire to roast the fire.
Now the weather, because of the rain, is getting colder and colder.
At this moment, his mind moved, and a message appeared in his mind.
[Sensing the player, you will enter the forbidden world, meet the challenge, and enter the remaining time: 59 days, 22 hours, 53 minutes and 34 seconds. 】
[Target survival time: 6 hours.] 】
[After entering the forbidden world, the time of the original world is relatively static. 】
[After completing the task, you will receive a reward: Advanced Martial Arts Root Bone.] 】
[Advanced martial arts root bones: One in a thousand martial arts talents, which is of great help for practicing exercises. 】
[Note: Due to continuous entry into the Forbidden World for one month, you will not be able to enter the Forbidden World directly for 59 days.] 】
"There are still two months, and this time is the same as the last time." Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, to his surprise, this time, he could no longer choose to enter directly, and it was two months apart.
This may have been triggered by his two consecutive entries into the Forbidden World in a short period of time.
This also made Chu Zheng more cautious in his heart.
The forbidden world is dangerous for him. But in the same way, the forbidden world will also bring him a turnaround at some critical times.
In the previous two crises, he relied on this ability to turn the situation around.
And now that he can't directly enter the forbidden world, it really can't be considered good news for him.
"Whew......" Chu Zheng sighed softly.
At this moment, he was slightly stunned.
He suddenly found that he had exhaled his breath, and he had actually produced white qi in the air.
And this also means that the temperature is in a very low state.
"How many people are going to die this year." Chu Zheng looked out the window.
In such a cold weather, those displaced people have no food, and I don't know how many of them can carry it.
In the middle of the night, there was a constant sound of rustling outside, and some conversations were also heard.
When Chu Zheng came here, there were also some scattered homeless people who fled here.
This voice is from those outcasts.
"Boss, now that the rain has fallen, how about we settle here?" Chu Zheng heard a woman's voice, which came from the room next to him.
"No, it won't be long before the thieves will kill them, and even if we can grow something now, we won't be able to survive for long." A man sighed.
Then there was the cry of a child.
"Daddy, I'm hungry."
Chu Zheng listened, silently adding wood to the bonfire.
In this era, it is difficult to give ordinary people a way to live. And he couldn't do much to help anyone else.
"Zheng'er, why don't we get them some jerky?" Chu Qingqing also heard the voice next to him, and his heart was moved with compassion.
Chu Zheng shook his head, "Sister, if you can't give it, if you give one, there will be a second one, and we can't give it to so many people at all." It may even be because of this jerky, which will set the body on fire. ”
In his previous life, he had seen a lot of ugly things because of the development of the Internet, so he didn't mind speculating on other people with the worst malice.
Seeing Chu Zheng say this, Chu Qingqing stopped talking.
She would rather someone else die than her brother was in danger.
Unconsciously, she is kind, and sometimes her heart is a little unusually hard.
"Squeak ......" At this moment, there was a sound at the door of the house where Chu Zheng was.
Chu Zheng turned his head and saw an eye between the cracks in the door, staring at them tightly.
"Get out!" Chu Zheng's eyes widened, and he scolded, and the iron piece in his hand stabbed out between the cracks in the door.
The peeping person was also extremely vigilant, and when he saw Chu Zheng attacking, he immediately took a few steps back and fled into the distance, and disappeared into the rainy night not long after.
Chu Zheng saw that the other party fled quickly, but he had no intention of chasing.
Now it's too dark outside, it's hard to chase, and it's easy to change.
The people in the surrounding houses also noticed the movement, and immediately stopped talking, and the night fell silent.
Chu Zheng exhaled.
He suddenly paused at this time, looked at Chu Qingqing's more beautiful face, and sighed in his heart.
At such a time and place, it has become a sin for a person to be pretty.
"Sister, you have to cover your face later." Chu Zheng said to Chu Qingqing.
Chu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and nodded, "Okay, Zheng'er, you come to help me." ”
She is not a hypocritical person, so she naturally doesn't care about this.
Moreover, now is not the time for hypocrisy.
Then, Chu Zheng wiped Chu Qingqing's face, neck, and hands with mud plaster, and made Chu Qingqing's hair a man.
It didn't take long for a dirty boy to appear in front of Chu Zheng.
"Help! Help me! Just then, there was a cry outside.
"Who will save my mother, she is going to give birth."
"Come and save her!"
"You can't die without help!!"
“……”
Chu Zheng frowned slightly when he heard the sound, stood up, walked to the window, and looked out through the gap in the window. But in the rain, a man was holding a pot-bellied woman and shouting heartbreakingly.
