Tomorrow's Ark, raised by children

No, it’s just that I couldn’t pass the review after posting chapters at [-] o’clock in the evening, and it didn’t come out until the next day

Volume 83: The same goal by different routes: Chapter 79 Chapter [-]: Reminiscing about the old friend

"Is there any Xinhe God?"

"Anything is good! Hey, young man, you don't know, in fact...the old man and I, as well as most of the folks, are all infected."

At the dinner table, the old woman said.

It was only then that Zhang Yubai realized that his bowls and chopsticks were all "brand new", and even the dishes he ate were served separately just now, as if he was afraid that he would become an infected person if he was hurt.

"Ah...that's right." He acted calmly.

For the existence of infected people, he has been in contact since childhood.

He is very clear about the sufferings those infected people are carrying... and he is also very clear that even the broken ones who are hated by the world are actually human beings, and they are upright people, and some can even be said... Be a hero.

Ah, he always remembered that boy... the boy who remained in his memory forever.

Is he an infected person too?

"Damn! After all, I came to believe in the God of the River, and people are good—what did I say, old man, don't you think this person is good?" Probably because Zhang Yubai was calm after learning the identity of the infected couple. The surprised performance aroused the old woman's favor, and the old woman praised.There was a lot of joy in the eyebrows and eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes." Old Li curled his lips, extremely perfunctory.

But his tone was soft.

"Cough cough! Let's get back to the point, young man," after understanding Zhang Yubai's attitude, the old woman coughed twice, and then started her introduction, "It's not like you don't know that in this year, it is true that infected people Difficult to live! As for us, we are still a group of retail investors, who have experienced natural disasters and are homeless, so we have to wander around... Everyone rejects us, wishing that we would die in the wilderness and never come back! But what? God has given us the space to live, and built a wonderful world——Hejia Village!"

"Xinhe God, eat and drink, eat enough and wear warm clothes every day, and sleep soundly! As long as the people from the government don't come to make trouble, our life will be better every day! Oh, there is really hope for this day... ..You haven’t experienced it, you don’t understand, when we were wandering, we ate everything…”

As the old woman spoke, her eyes lowered, as if she was recalling some sad past.

"My wife, don't say a few words." Old Li interrupted the old woman's words at this time.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yubai didn't ask any further questions.

There is a well hidden in everyone's heart, a very deep well, in which are buried... the past that they don't want to look back no matter what.

"Then let me continue," the old woman paused, as if nothing happened just now, "cough cough! God of the river, he still assigns wives! The guy next door has been a bachelor for a year or two, isn't he the god of the river?" I was assigned one."

"*Yan Guo slang*, so good!"

Zhang Yubai made a look of shining eyes.

"That's not right! What about you young man, do you have a girlfriend? When the time comes, we will go to the river and salute you. After you officially become a believer of the River God, the Lord River God will assign you one too! Absolutely handsome !” said the old woman cheerfully.

"That's not necessary," Zhang Yubai shook his head, "It's really unnecessary, ma'am."

"Why don't you use it! Let me tell you, young people, you should find a wife as soon as possible! Damn, when the time comes, I will show you the wife of the guy next door, and you will be envious of her! Not only is she handsome, but she also has a special flavor, really. Reminds me of my youth." The old woman showed a fascinated expression.

"Ah ha ha....."

"So young man, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Then... If you really want to talk...the words...should...not."

Zhang Yubai replied hesitantly.

"Then you should ask Lord River God to assign you one! Don't say anything—"

"Hey, I have, I have!"

In order to dispel the idea of ​​the old woman, Zhang Yubai hurriedly stated that he had.

"Yes? I'm afraid you are fooling me?" But who knew that this aunt was so smart, she could see through Zhang Yubai's lies at a glance.

"How can it be!"

Who would have thought that the old woman in front of her would be so enthusiastic, and everyone else would reject her, but she still insisted on it, as if she was afraid that the other party would not be able to get a wife.

"Really!" Zhang Yubai took out the folding fan from his clothes in a hurry, "Look at Madam, this is... well, a token of love!"

"Yo......"

The old woman took the folding fan and looked at it carefully, raising her eyes from time to time to observe Zhang Yubai's expression.

"Look at the craftsmanship, but it was made by a girl. This tassel is still tied with hair...it's very meaningful. Looking at your frightened expression, young man, it seems that you are afraid that I will break it for you-it is indeed Really, really!"

The old woman carefully returned the folding fan to Zhang Yubai, bursting into hearty laughter.

Zhang Yubai breathed a sigh of relief.

What's the matter with this inexplicable tension?

It's not that there are people who are older than him, or people of the same generation who are urged by the elders in the family to marry wives and have children in Si Suitai. Zhang Yubai has also seen a lot of these things.It's not like Long Shuwen didn't mention his master in his old age.

But compared to other people, he is less stressed after all, and he doesn't care about this problem at all.

Who would have thought that now, in this old woman who was neither relative nor relative, he would actually experience that feeling of suffocation.

Silently put the folding fan in his arms, Zhang Yubai apologized to the woman in his heart.

Sister Nian, if you know about this, you won't blame me, will you?

"Young man, this river god is really good..."

The old woman then told Zhang Yubai about the goodness of the God of the River, just like the missionaries of Lateran preaching the glory of their "lord".

"Okay, I have something to ask you." After the old woman said a few words, Old Li interrupted her, then stared straight at Zhang Yubai with a hoarse voice, "Young man, Do you think... us, should we live, or should we die?"

"Old man, why are you asking this? Of course I want you to live." Zhang Yubai said with a half-smile, "For no reason, why would someone want others to die?"

"Okay! Then tell me, do infected people like us have the right to live?"

"Yes, of course." Zhang Yubai nodded solemnly, "My master taught me since childhood that no matter who you are, as long as your heart is righteous, you are still human."

"That's good...that's good...then if someone wants to kill infected people like us, will you help us?"

Old Li Tou seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, as if he was dying, and said slowly.

"Yes." Zhang Yubai was very sincere.

"I want you to swear."

Old Li was really making trouble out of no reason.

After all, Zhang Yubai is not related to him, so making people swear to him... is really a strange move.

However, after Zhang Yubai thought for a while, he solemnly said: "I swear."

"Okay! Then I'll tell you that there is a man named Lin Shanbao who is the nearest person in charge in this area. He, he wants to kill us!"

-

The meal was ready soon, and this meal was really outrageous.

Zhang Yu sat up from the stool in a hurry, and immediately said that he would go out to visit other villagers.

His hand was always holding the folding fan, and it was trembling slightly... His cheeks were dripping with sweat, and there was an uncontrollable intense expression in his eyes.

Perhaps because of the folding fan, he managed to maintain his surface peace as much as possible.

Strangely, the enthusiastic old man Li and the old woman did not express their intention to see him off at this time, but just nodded at him, and then watched him walk out of the room by himself.

At the end of the day, Zhang Yubai was about to walk out of that door, when Old Li suddenly stopped him.

"Young man, open the window."

Zhang Yubai was taken aback for a moment, and then he opened the window that had been locked tightly.

At this time, he realized that the rain outside the house...had stopped.

Old Li Tou seemed to want to find something outside the window, but he didn't come to Zhang Yubai's place, looking at the scene outside the house through the wide door.

He and his wife sat peacefully on the stool, facing the blue sky...and never spoke to Zhang Yubai again.

Puzzled, Zhang Yubai walked out of the room.

Only then did he see that there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky!

Old Li and the others must have been watching it earlier!

Looking back suddenly, the faint smile on Zhang Yubai's face suddenly froze.

But I saw that the house that was still there before no longer existed, leaving only an empty mud field.

Looking around again, looking at the houses of every family, Zhang Yubai suddenly felt a strange but moving emotion.

It's really inexplicable...

Volume 84: The same goal by different routes: Chapter 80 Chapter [-]: There is a big furnace in the sky, and the situation is broken by violence

"Brother... Did you hear that? Lin Shanbao! Lin Shanbao!"

"Your mind is disturbed, my brother."

"——I know! But it's not completely messed up for the time being... With this folding fan, I can't..." Zhang Yubai took a few deep breaths.

Now he is shuttling through Hejia Village, looking around, looking for suspicious or places worth exploring.

"The time here is probably some years ago... Lin Shanbao probably had contact with these people before he was promoted to prince... Perhaps his fief at that time included this piece of land. "

In the bottom of my heart, that voice was peaceful and soft, like the hand of a parent caressing a baby, soothing Zhang Yubai's restless heart.

"The important thing is not the matter itself, but the name Lin Shanbao..." Zhang Yubai's complexion gradually became better, and he was no longer so excited.

As an experienced candle holder, he rarely showed such a "vivid" expression on his face.

But this time is an exception.

"Lin Shanbao...a king with a different surname! My enemy!" Zhang Yubai is like an angry lion, and Victoria's aloof King Aslan has the same majesty as him, "The things here must have something to do with him... Huh, it's not like you don't know that I've worked so hard all these years to get promoted and get in touch with that bastard? Hehe... I can't kill him a thousand times. "

"My dear brother, I know what you're saying, but should you calm down...you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, or in other words, angry people are always blind."

"I'm not angry." Zhang Yubai rubbed his sore forehead, "I just... huh... can't hold back my emotions. Is it excitement? Excitement? Or the anger you said... .I don't know, I really don't know."

"It's been a long time since you've been like this, my brother."

"Not next time...well, at least not in a short time."

Zhang Yubai's voice returned to steady and thorough.

"What I need to do now is...find...other people in this Hejia Village who can negotiate." Zhang Yubai walked around and looked around, as if he had lost something.

Just now he has yelled a few times as he did at the beginning, with a certain degree of emotional blessing, but no one responded.

"The old couple... Are they undead being absorbed in this world? After explaining those things, they disappeared directly... They agreed to take me to believe Where is the river god?" Zhang Yubai muttered softly.

"Perhaps you should pin your hopes on luck—just like the protagonist of a novel, when the story becomes flat, new conflicts and contradictions will often arise." The elder brother's voice contained a slight smile, which seemed quite deep meaning.

"..."

Zhang Yubai responded with silence, and his brother didn't make another sound.

In this way, he wandered around, looking for places that could be explored, but found nothing.

What's creepy is that no matter how you go, this Hejia Village seems to have no boundaries, and there is no end in sight.All around are exactly the same buildings, as if they were made out of moulds.

It was okay at first, but after a long time, once people are familiar with such an environment, people will start to figure out the details...and as long as they figure out the details, it will inevitably lead to more thinking.

Thinking is precisely the source of fear.

But... for Zhang Yubai, fear has never been a problem.In his long life, short but constant life, what troubled him was always only "facts", not all falsehoods, or existences arising from falsehoods.

Or... try to turn everything here upside down?

An interesting idea suddenly popped up in his mind, Zhang Yubai raised his eyebrows, and a light that symbolized spirituality flashed in his eyes.

It is indeed a good idea...Maybe as long as everything in this world is overturned from the physical aspect, and it will not be destroyed...the problem will be solved.

Zhang Yubai is not a person who likes to use his brain, even if he has brains.

Compared with "a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands", he prefers that "the truth is only within the scope of Leifa".

Just do it!

Zhang Yubai held his breath and concentrated. He exerted force on one palm, forming a claw shape, and his five fingers slowly moved closer to the palm.

He slowly raised the palm of his hand, his movements were stiff, as if the hand was extremely heavy, and he was an unprecedented strongman who struggled to lift this huge object with all his strength.

Blue veins bulged, and Zhang Yubai let out a suppressed roar from his throat.
