Tomorrow's Ark, raised by children

"I'm from outside, so I don't know the situation." Zhang Yubai could only explain with a wry smile.

...He obviously looks very kind, but why does he speak like this when he speaks?Could this be the simple and honest personality of country people?

"Old man, what's the matter?"

An old woman wearing a lace apron came out of the house. She was about the same size as the old man, but a little fatter, with the kindness of an old woman.

The moment she saw Zhang Yubai's figure in the rain, a burst of light shone from her cloudy eyes, and she said repeatedly: "Come in, come in! Come in quickly! It's still raining outside, you'll get wet."

She is as loving as Zhang Yubai's own grandmother.

This made Zhang Yubai tremble all over, and he couldn't help but recall Chen Bo's wife who had passed away when he returned to Shangshu to explore his hometown a few years ago.

Exactly the same feeling.

"Uh, no need, I'll just...look around, um..."

"Look around?" The old man's complexion suddenly changed.

If his complexion just now was just showing his personality traits, then he is truly vicious now.

Zhang Yubai was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing how to react.

"Don't think I don't know what you're here for—cough! Cough! Come! Come! Those bastards from the government who don't let people live are here again!" He entered the room sideways and took out a stick. The crutch waved at Zhang Yubai.As if the crutch in his hand was a sharp sword capable of cutting through everything in the world, he was about to cut the man in front of him to pieces.

That level of hatred doesn't need more words... Just the casual meeting of eyes can make people's heart beat faster.Incomparably terrifying, like the gaze of a wild beast, extremely vicious, recklessly putting the person in front of him to death, like a raging lion.

For some reason, the rain suddenly became heavier, as if echoing the old man's anger.

In the rainstorm, Li Boli opened his arms, no different from a hunting eagle.

"Old man! Don't get excited!" Zhang Yubai quickly shook his palm, pretending to be innocent, "I really don't know anything...I, I'm not from the government."

He decisively denied his identity as a "government official".

How can the identity of Candle Holder be such an inconvenient title?

"No? You're fooling the ghost!" The old man's voice was hoarse, "How many times! How many times have our residences been destroyed by you! How many people have died at your hands! Why do you want to kill them all? We don't affect you We live on the mercy of Lord River God, but this is not enough! You...do you still have humanity!"

he growled.

"Cough... cough cough cough!"

He coughed violently, like a machine about to fall apart.

However, even if he is about to fall apart, he still has to use the sword in his hand to chop off the villain in front of him, or...the sinner.

But... the sword in his hand is still a crutch after all.Even if it is really a sword, it is definitely not a magic weapon that can cut through everything in the world.

The weapon that can cut everything is in Zhang Yubai's hands.

With just one finger, Zhang Yubai supported the crutch.

"Old man...really, I'm excited." He leaned forward helplessly, trying to appease the old man.

"roll!"

Zhang Yubai raised his eyebrows suddenly, and he showed a look of astonishment.

Can't go wrong... absolutely can't go wrong.

Such hatred...

He really wanted to kill himself...if he could.

"...Old man, what did you just say, River God?" Zhang Yubai asked after hesitating for a moment before realizing something.

"Go away! How can you speak the name of an adult with your filthy mouth!"

"No, no, you misunderstood." Zhang Yubai immediately showed a serious expression, "Actually, I came to believe in the river god... the traveler."

Volume 82: Different routes lead to the same goal: Chapter 78 Chapter [-]: The bitterest and the happiest

"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense!"

Although his mouth is still unforgiving, the old man's tone seems to have relaxed a lot.

The moment Zhang Yubai said that he came to believe in the river god, his fierce eyes suddenly softened a lot.

In his eyes, the original Zhang Yubai must have been a peerless villain who committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, looting, and so on, but now... he can be regarded as an idler with bad conduct at most.

"Hey, how could it be nonsense?" Zhang Yubai rolled his eyes, "People in the government definitely wouldn't say that, right?"

What he said was completely ignorant.

Based on the old man's expression, he guessed that the people in the government might have never used this trick.

"...that's true."

Maybe from the old man's point of view, people who don't believe in the river god are basically bad people, but those who believe in the river god... no matter how wrong they are, they are still good people.

Seeing that the old man's state had calmed down, Zhang Yubai also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then... can you tell me where this is?"

"Hejia Village."

The old man said briefly, "My surname is Li, you can just call me Old Litou... cough cough!"

"Oh, good." Zhang Yubai nodded, "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Yubai."

"what's your name?"

Old Li seemed to be deaf suddenly, frowned, approached Zhang Yubai's mouth, and asked.

"I said my name is Zhang Yubai, sir!"

"What's wrong with Zhang?"

"Zhang Yubai!"

"Zhang Yu what?"

"Zhang Yubai!"

"What feather white?"

"Master Zhang Yubai! Zhang Yubai, Zhang Yubai!"

"What? Say it again, my ears are bad!"

...God, my ears are not good, but they were quite good just now.

Zhang Yubai was also discouraged.

But... until now, as long as the uncle is not angry, doesn't want to kill him, and is kind...it doesn't matter.

"It's okay, sir...do what you like, I'll walk around and have a look." Zhang Yubai sighed.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Hey uncle, before I came...did anyone else pass by?"

He was thinking of Kai Erxi and Zuo Xuanliao.

Don't know where they are now.

"Huh? No, you are the only young man shouting 'Is anyone there?'. We usually don't go out, so if there is, we don't know." Old Li said sincerely.

At this moment, his ears suddenly became better again.

The corners of Zhang Yubai's mouth twitched.

It can't be the old man who doesn't want to remember Zhang Yubai's name, right?

No way...

"Hey..." Zhang Yubai scratched his head, "That's fine. I'll go first."

"Wait, kid!" At this moment, the old woman stopped him again.

Just now when Lao Li went crazy, she went straight into the back room and didn't come out, as if hiding from the farce outside.

At this time... She was holding a steaming pot, Zhang Yubai looked at it, and there was hot soup in the pot... There were a few green leaves floating on it. Not much seasoning.

"No, no, no need." Zhang Yubai waved his hands repeatedly.

"Come in!" The old woman showed a kind smile, "Didn't you say you came to believe in the God of the River? Come in, the old man and I will talk to you, and I will show you the way as an outsider."

Zhang Yubai frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly felt that nothing would happen to Kaierxi and Zuo Xuanliao.

After all, Zuo Xuanliao came from a prominent background, and his childhood education allowed him to deal with various situations...Even if he is not qualified in terms of character, but... his character is cultivated by the day after tomorrow. Now Zuo Xuanliao just hasn't been polished well, the others... are all top notch.

As for Kelsey...Zhang Yubai is not worried at all.

Even if something happened, just like what she said...she knows everything!

Knowledge is power. As long as you have enough knowledge, you will be invincible no matter what the situation is.

Of course, the premise is that she really knows everything...

So Zhang Yubai was very curious, if she really knows everything, why hasn't her head been overwhelmed by endless knowledge?

Zhang Yubai subconsciously hoped that Kelsey would not get separated from Zuo Xuanliao, so that Zuo Xuanliao would not have to worry about his safety at all.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

While thinking clearly about all the current situation, Zhang Yubai obediently walked into the back room.

After all, this is the first real opportunity to learn about the River God.

Hejia Village... River God.

Zhang Yubai knew what this meant.

Co-authoring with him, this is entering the realm of the river god...

It's also funny, first entered the domain of a giant beast, and then entered another domain of suspected giant beast from that domain.

Like an Ursus doll, layer upon layer.

Under the guidance of the old woman and old Li, Zhang Yubai entered their residence.

The interior furnishings are very simple, the stove that warms the fire is also their stove, the oily wooden table, the bench with a lame leg, and an empty wooden armchair.

There are piles of dry tea and countless straws in the corner.In the other corner was a low bunk just big enough for two people.

The kerosene lamp fell on the top, and the windows were tightly closed, as if afraid of rainwater leaking in.

But even so, the edge of the window and the ground are damp.

Lifting his feet and stepping on the ground made of random cement, Zhang Yubai looked around.

"Hey, is this not bad?"

"Yes, it all depends on Lord River God!" The old woman showed a moved expression, "If it weren't for her, we really wouldn't be able to live such a good life."

The oily wooden table was bumpy and uneven.There are three handmade plates on it, each containing pickles, soybeans, and bean sprouts. The old woman brought the pot she was holding in her hand to the very center, three dishes and one soup, which was considered complete.

The porridge, which is so white that you can't see how many rice grains are in it, is served in black bowls, and there are three bowls.

Good day... huh?

The only thing that could be considered a meat dish was the lonely slices of meat hidden in the bean sprouts.

Zhang Yubai pursed his lips.

"Don't you like porridge, kid? Steamed buns, there are steamed buns, would you like it?" Seemingly noticing the unnatural look on Zhang Yubai's face, the old woman immediately went to get a white steamed bun.

The buns look pretty good.

Zhang Yubai frowned.

This may be the best food in their family.

"No, it's not." Zhang Yubai shook his head, "I just suddenly remembered that I still have two friends... um... I don't know where, we got separated."

"It's all right." The old woman hurriedly said, "You are here to trust the God of the River. The God of the River is a good person. After dinner, go to the folks. They will definitely help you find friends."

The sound of the rain outside the window became louder, Zhang Yubai raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood what was going on.

"Here, I'm afraid it's the pure land that houses souls... Is it the Peach Blossom Spring?"
