Chapter 120: A Love Story

Now, the main task is to find the Zombie King's lair. After thinking about it, Yun Wuxian still felt that the answer to the question lay in the blacksmith. On the way back to the blacksmith's shop, Yun Wuxian thought of a way to call the blacksmith out.

Yun Wuxian found some firewood and piled it up at the door of the blacksmith shop, and then, Yun Wuxian lit the firewood, and the smoke billowed into the sky.

"Someone, there's a fire, there's a fire in the blacksmith's shop, come and put out the fire!!"

Cloud Traceless ran all over the town, shouting as he ran. As he turned to the third lap, the blacksmith ran to the blacksmith shop with his shoes and pants in hand. He summoned a bucket of water and extinguished the fire. Yun Wuxian looked at the blacksmith with a grin on the side.

In an instant, the blacksmith understood.

"What the hell are you doing?" said the blacksmith angrily, pointing his finger at Yun Wuji.

"If I hadn't done this, you wouldn't have come out. Yun Wuxian said with a grin.

"I didn't tell you. Zombies are going to come out at night. You can just sleep during the day and fight the zombies at night. The blacksmith said.

"Zombies come out at night, what are they doing during the day?" asked Yun Wuji.

"Who knows. The blacksmith said.

"You said that zombies are nocturnal. They move at night and naturally sleep during the day. If we can find the zombies' lair, we can make a surprise attack while they are sleeping. Isn't it easier to kill zombies? Yun Wuxian said proudly.

The blacksmith pondered for a moment, and then said, "There is nothing wrong with your words. The point is that the zombies don't come out, where are we going to find them?"

"Zombies, naturally, live in anger. Where is the mass grave here, let's try our luck at the mass grave. Yun Wuxian said.

The blacksmith hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Go yourself." I'm not going. You don't know, it's very unlucky. If you go to that place, you will have bad luck for three years. I'm a businessman, how can I do business if I'm unlucky? If I don't go, I won't go, I won't be killed. ”

"Are you sure you won't go?"

"I said I wouldn't go, and I wouldn't go if you killed me. ”

"If you don't go, I won't kill you. Besides, it's no use killing you. Yun Wuxian said, "However, it was your luck that your shop didn't burn just now." Next time, you won't have such good luck. ”

"What do you mean?" said the blacksmith angrily, pointing at Yun Wuxian with his finger, "Are you threatening me?"

"If you think so, I won't deny it. Yun Wuxian said, "Yes, you know, I'm a foreigner." Even if I order your shop, what can you do to me? Report to the police to arrest me, or do you arrest me yourself? I'm afraid you don't have that skill. Okay, I've made it clear. How to do it, you choose. However, the sun is about to go down and you don't have much time to think. ”

"You kid, I'm ......" The blacksmith pointed to Yun Wuxian with his finger, trembling with anger. Yun Wuxian looked like a bad guy and was not moved by it at all.

"Okay. When I met you, I was counted as eight lifetimes of mold. I'll take you to a mass grave. As for whether there are zombies anywhere, I can't guarantee it. The blacksmith said.

"Just take me there. The rest is up to you. Yun Wuxian said.

Yun Wuxian was afraid that the blacksmith would run away halfway, so he put his arm around the blacksmith, and the two of them hooked up and walked towards the mass grave outside the town.

On the way to the mass grave, the blacksmith tells the town about the zombies.

At first, at least a hundred years ago, there were no zombies in the town. It is located in a remote area, and the hands and feet of the imperial court are not stretched that far, and this town is considered an unmanaged area.

Although there is no one to manage it, the local folk customs are very simple. The only torture instrument in the county government has been covered with dust, and the drum at the entrance of the yamen is full of spider silk. The night is not closed, the road is not forgotten, and it is everywhere here.

Hearing the blacksmith talk about the folk customs here, Yun Wuxian thought of the "Taoyuan Village" where he lived. Although the villagers of "Taoyuan Village" were a little reckless in dealing with Bai Ling, on the whole, the neighbors of "Taoyuan Village" were still very friendly with each other.

"Are you a local?" asked Yun Wuji.

The blacksmith shook his head and said, "My grandfather took refuge here. The governor helped my grandfather build a blacksmith shop, and my family has been a blacksmith for generations. In my generation, it's the third generation. ”

"The people here are simple and the people are kind. Why are there zombies all of a sudden?" asked Yun Wuji.

"Everything has a cause and effect. Before, I was also thinking about how zombies suddenly came to the town. These days, I've thought about it, and those zombies didn't appear out of nowhere. There is also a reason for their appearance. ”

Speaking of the reason, we have to start with Luo Yuanwai's daughter Xiuying jumping into the river.

Luo Yuanwai is a large local household, with thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of houses. Every year, when it is harvested, Luo Yuanwai will ask some short-term workers to help his family harvest wheat. This year, there was a day laborer named Ah Cheng who cut his own foot while cutting wheat.

Ah Cheng couldn't walk, so Luo Yuanwai let Ah Cheng recuperate in the backyard. The task of bandaging Ah Cheng's wound was given to Xiaohong. By the way, Xiaohong is Xiuying's maid.

Perhaps, Ah Cheng and Xiuying are destined to be a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks. When Xiaohong changed the dressing for Ah Cheng, Xiuying followed. The two fell in love at first sight.

Although Ah Cheng is a short-term worker and dressed shabby, he is a dignified person, with a strong figure and a man's masculinity. And Xiuying is the daughter of a rich and noble family, and her figure and appearance are naturally nothing.

After Xiuying saw Ah Cheng, she didn't think about tea and dinner when she went back. Seeing that Xiuying was getting thinner and thinner, Xiaohong, as a maid, was very anxious, she thought that her young lady was sick, so she invited a lot of doctors and took a lot of medicine, but it didn't have any effect.

Later, Xiuying tells Xiaohong that she has a heart disease. Xiaohong didn't know what heart disease was, and under Xiaohong's repeated questioning, Xiuying told Xiaohong that her illness was lovesickness. Xiaohong understands now.

Heart disease also needs heart medicine, and the bell must be tied to the bell.

Xiuying tells Xiaohong that Ah Chengcheng is her antidote. On a night when she couldn't see her fingers, Xiaohong went to see Ah Cheng with Xiuying's hope. At this time, Ah Cheng's injuries had healed. After he finished cutting the wheat, he laughed with his co-workers. Xiaohong can't rush in. She could only wait in a dark corner, and when Ah Cheng came out to relieve her, Xiaohong suddenly burst out of the dark shadow.

Ah Cheng was taken aback. When he saw that it was Xiaohong, Ah Cheng asked Xiaohong if she was looking for him? Xiaohong didn't say anything, just gave Ah Cheng a handkerchief. Then, Xiaohong stretched out three fingers, shook them in front of Ah Cheng's eyes, and ran away.

Ah Cheng took the handkerchief and returned to the room full of suspicion. At night, Ah Cheng didn't sleep all night. He held the handkerchief tightly in his hand, and the scent of the handkerchief made his heart ripple. Ah Cheng is already twenty years old, but he doesn't have a woman yet. Not to mention that there are women, Ah Cheng doesn't even have the opportunity to get close to women. Last time, when Xiaohong changed his dressing, Ah Cheng was shy for several days.

Now, Ah Cheng is holding a handkerchief and smelling the fragrance on the handkerchief. Ah Cheng's heart is alive.

For a whole night, Ah Cheng wondered what Xiaohong meant by giving him a handkerchief, and what did Xiaohong mean by stretching out three fingers before leaving?

It rained the next day and there was no work. Luo Yuanwai found a singer to sing for the short-term workers, which can be regarded as a small benefit for the short-term workers. The singer sings the story of Yingying and Zhang Sheng. When Ah Cheng heard that the matchmaker had a private meeting with Zhang Sheng in the middle of the night, Ah Cheng suddenly understood what Xiaohong meant. Immediately, Ah Cheng knew, Xiaohong stretched out three fingers, which should have made him appear in the old place during the third watch.

It was night, the sky was clear after the rain, and the sky was full of stars.

Ah Cheng fell asleep early. Then, he did it early. Listening to the sound of sticks outside, he knew that the third watch had arrived, so he quietly put on his clothes, pulled his shoes, and walked out of the room. Quietly came to the place where I met Xiaohong. Red is waiting for him there.

"I also made a bet with Mademoiselle that you wouldn't understand what I meant. Unexpectedly, there is no short circuit in your short-working head. Hong said, "How do you know I mean to let you come here?"

"Little Red Girl, what are you asking me to do here in the middle of the night?" Ah Cheng asked.

"I didn't let you come. It was my young lady who asked you to come. Little Red said, "Come with me." ”

Xiaohong took Ah Cheng and quietly came to Xiuying's room. The two of them told each other about the pain of lovesickness, lonely men and widows, and it was the middle of the night, so it was naturally dry firewood.

Since then, Ah Cheng has to meet Xiuying every night on the third watch.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. The news of the private meeting between the two reached Luo Yuanwai's ears. Luo Yuanwai was naturally furious. thinks that Ah Cheng seduced his daughter. He had Ah Cheng arrested and locked in a pigsty. Xiuying knew that Ah Cheng had been arrested, and even went on a hunger strike to threaten Luo Yuanwai.

Luo Yuanwai didn't take Xiuying's hunger strike seriously. Until Xiuying didn't eat for three days and three nights, the next person reported it to Luo Yuanwai, who saw his daughter lying on the bed, already dying. He believed that his daughter didn't just talk about it.

Luo Yuanwai promised like Miss Xiuying that as long as Miss Xiuying is not with Ah Cheng, no matter what Xiuying wants, Luo Yuanwai will give it. However, Xiuying doesn't want anything but Ah Cheng.

In desperation, Luo Yuanwai could only agree to Xiuying's request. However, before Xiuying and Ah Cheng got married, Luo Yuanwai had to do a test on Ah Cheng. To test whether Ah Cheng really likes his daughter, or whether he takes a fancy to his Luo family's property.

That's what broke down on this test. If regret medicine can be sold in the world, Luo Yuanwai will definitely be the first to buy it. If there is a meeting in the world that will do it all over again, Luo Yuanwai will definitely no longer do any tests.

Of course, things have already happened, and the facts are there, and Luo Yuanwai and the people in the whole town can only accept their fate.
