The last emperor

Chapter 94 Sunshine
The construction of the fence can be said to be in full bloom, and all the work is carried out at the same time. Although a large number of manpower has been used and there are safety hazards, the progress will undoubtedly not fall behind.

After several days of observation, Zhang Jin found that all the work sites were in order without any mistakes, and he was gradually relieved. He was right about Lei Zhengtang's expertise in engineering and leadership, and he was finally able to start from this task. freed from it.

In the past few days, he has been going out alone to check the situation outside. He can confirm that there are no hidden dangers in the work area, and he is ready to go to a place that is farther away.

When I went back to rest at noon, I found that Chen Lie's complexion was obviously much better after basking in the sun outside the house, but his previous mighty temperament was also weakened by a serious illness, so he showed a wry smile.

Zhang Jin went over and clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's really gratifying to see you come out to bask in the sun. How do you feel?"

Chen Lie squinted at the sun and said with a smile: "Being able to see the sun means that I don't have to go to hell, but this body feels drained. You can understand how a martial arts practitioner feels this way."

"Don't worry, you'll recover after a few days of recuperation. Mr. Lei Wu specially approved some meat for you to nourish your body, just take care of yourself." Zhang Jin patted his broad shoulder and comforted him.

Chen Lie nodded, looked at Zhang Jin and said meaningfully: "I know everything you have done for me, if I choose to leave this time, not because of Lei Zhengtang but because I want to leave, you will let me go ?"

Zhang Jin touched his body for a long time and finally took out half a pack of cigarettes and handed one with a light smile: "You are not from Heilongbao. I have no right to restrict your freedom. As I said, everyone has the right to choose." , I won’t be surprised if you choose to stay or leave.”

Chen Lie took a cigarette and coughed, "Why?"

Zhang Jin leaned himself comfortably on the window sill and said: "Some people's choices are carefully considered and they must choose one. No matter whether this kind of person's choice is right or wrong, no one else can and does not need to intervene. You are an adult and you know what you are doing. Whatever you do, I certainly respect your choice."

cough……

Chen Lie coughed a few times, looked at the cigarette butt and had to snuff it out, and said with a wry smile: "When you knocked me down for the last time, I realized that I have always underestimated you. No one in the entire Black Dragon Castle Village can compare to you for your wisdom, courage, acuity, and perseverance."

Zhang Jin put out the cigarette butt and spread his hands as if he didn't understand: "It's not that you've burnt out your brain after being ill for a while. What are you doing talking about such a boring topic? Let's talk about something interesting."

"Are there any interesting things in this world?" Chen Lie coughed and looked at the sky with a melancholy expression, "Maybe everything has changed except the sky, and it's like a nightmare that I can't wake up from."

Zhang Jin looked outside the courtyard and said with a smile: "Sitting here, do you feel safe and warm?"

Chen Lie coughed, took the water glass Zhang Yao handed over and thanked him, took the medicine and watched Zhang Yao go in, nodded gratefully and said: "When I haven't opened my eyes, I only have a vague consciousness. , I felt that Zhang Yao and Uncle Shiping were taking good care of me, and that child Zhang Le was also there."

Zhang Le kicked a ball and ran past the courtyard gate, followed by a few children of the same age, and two soldiers followed nearby to take care of him.

"Nightmare also has its sweetness. In the beginning, outside Heilongtou Mountain was a forbidden place for children, but now they have the opportunity to come out and play for a while." Zhang Jin stood up and looked into the distance, "Come, look into the distance."

Yun Fei hung down the telescope from the roof, and Chen Lie took it to look in the direction Zhang Jin pointed.

A group of people were mining and smashing stones at the foot of Heilongtou Mountain, among them were some women and teenagers about seventeen or eighteen.

"Can you see despair on their faces?"

Chen Lie looked at everyone's faces, and there was no trace of despair. On the contrary, they all had hopeful smiles. Although they were sweating profusely, they were still working hard with vigor.

"Are you going to start building the wall?"

Zhang Jin nodded and said: "When everyone was grounded in the mountains, their emotions were obviously full of sadness and confusion about the future. Human beings are like weeds, they may be fragile, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they can get out of the cracks in the rocks." Break through the hard soil to see the sun.

It took us less than two months to get out of the mountains, and it wouldn't be too far away without giving up hope to return to this world. "

Chen Lie moved his binoculars to look around, and the work of demolishing the earthen houses in the village was also in full swing. Seeing Lei Zhengtang wearing the Zhongshan-style old-fashioned clothes of the old generation, smashing the clods of dirt, he couldn't help laughing: " It was interesting."

After sitting back and drinking the medicine, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What kind of magical power do you have, that you can turn Lei Zhengtang, a contractor who dared to photograph the county magistrate's drinking table, into a person who is willing to work buried in the mound? "

Zhang Jin shook his head and smiled, "It's your credit. I've always been curious about what happened to you outside?"

Thinking back, Chen Lie's face suddenly became gloomy, with a hint of panic, he shook his head and said, "One day I will tell you, but not now."

Zhang Jin nodded and said: "Being a lone wolf doesn't have to suffer emotional pain, but it also loses hope. No matter what you encounter, think about the good things, think about the group of young children who don't know the danger, and let yourself feel the pain." to the sun."

At this time Zhang Le ran in alone, and several children stood at the gate looking inside.

Zhang Le ran over and plucked up his courage and said, "My friends heard that Instructor Chen has recovered a lot and want to come in to have a look. Can the village chief let them in?"

Zhang Jin looked at Chen Lie, Chen Lie looked a little dazed, he smiled and said, "Come in, the little guys all adore you."

Seeing a group of children running towards him excitedly, Chen Lie was a little at a loss.

"Instructor Chen, is your illness all right?"

"Instructor Chen, Uncle Lei said you are a great hero, you are so powerful that you are not afraid of any zombies."

"Instructor Chen, my mother said that you should rest more, drink more water, and get more sunshine when you are sick. You must get better soon."

"Instructor Chen, you have been teaching soldiers how to kill zombies. I want to learn too. Will you teach me?"

"I, I want to learn too."

"I want to kill zombies too, and I want to learn."

……

Faced with the children's siege, Chen Lie's eyes suddenly turned red, and he nodded, "I'll teach you when you grow up, and the zombies won't hurt any of us."

"Yeah, we want to be heroes too. Instructor Chen wants to teach us how to kill zombies."

The excited laughter of the children filled the small courtyard, surrounded Chen Lie in the middle and asked questions in a hurry, and they were very happy to be close to the hero in their hearts.

It wasn't until Zhang Yao blasted all the little guys out of the yard that the quietness returned.

Zhang Jin handed over the half-smoked cigarette, Chen Lie stared at him with a serious face, he looked at the cigarette holder and said: "I am very clean, but one cigarette is missing, you are sick Half a branch would be fine."

"Knowing that I'm sick, you still pass me cigarettes all the time, so I quit temporarily." Chen Lie said seriously.

"Okay, I was wrong, I can't waste my smoke." Zhang Jin laughed.

Chen Lie looked at the distant figures of the children outside the courtyard, stretched out a melancholy smile and said, "How did I find out that after decades of being in the rivers and lakes, I still can't escape the grasp of a college student like you."

"What, when did I become a Buddha." Zhang Jin pretended to be confused and stood up and said, "I have to go out for a walk to see if these little bastards are lazy. I have been living too comfortably recently. They have learned to be lazy.”

Chen Lie shook his head and smiled helplessly, stood up and went back to the room to rest, but his mood improved a lot, and he no longer had a gloomy expression.
