The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.
Yun Qi struggle...
Yunnan Yao, surrounded by his apprentices, had already sat down to rest. The other miscellaneous tasks were quickly assigned to him by his apprentices.
Seeing Village Chief Yao walking towards him, he knew something was wrong.
Without any pretense, he stood up and told his other apprentices to pick up the medicine boxes. Before Village Chief Yao could speak, he said bluntly, "Let's go! It'll be good for them to practice."
Village Chief Yao nodded to him like an old friend and led him into the village.
"Has Village Chief Yao forgotten about Yao Lie?" Yun Qi looked at the scene before him speechlessly. His village had already trained a doctor, and he was still unaware of it.
You should know that Yao Lie has been studying medicine in Pinghe Village for the past few years. Because he has no burdens, he can devote himself to it wholeheartedly. Yunnan medicine practitioners sometimes say that there is nothing more they can teach him.
Yun Qi glanced at Yao Lie, who was still catching up with his father, shook his head, and ignored them. Sometimes, doctors are too young, and people might not believe them. In the future, they can only rely on facts to speak for themselves and slowly gain everyone's recognition. If Yao Lie wants to walk this path, he still needs to undergo a long period of immersion and training.
"Xiao Qi, shall we go to our usual spot again?" Yun Liping and the others came over together right after they finished dinner.
Yunqi immediately understood, "Then we need to make them clear the place for us. We need to call Auntie and the others to come along; they've been bored on the way here."
"Remember to bring your razor blade too, let's make another dazzling entrance." Yun Liping whispered this as she left.
Yun Qi stared at her with wide eyes, "Doesn't your partner have any objections?"
Yun Liping said, "Let's keep quiet for now, it'll be too late if we have any objections. But you can't betray your sisters, or we won't let you off the hook."
Yunqi put on a scared look and said, "Am I that kind of person? I just happened to bring a few razor blades with me this time, enough for us sisters to use separately."
Liu Yuqing stared at her incredulously, "Sister Xiaoqi, so you had this planned all along? If we hadn't come to find you first, would you have gone to notify us later?"
Yunqi stepped forward and pinched her little cheek, "Of course, how could I forget you guys if something good happened to me?"
The sisters laughed and joked for a while, then dispersed to inform all the women in the village.
Seeing these people acting so mysteriously, all the men in the village felt a chill run down their spines. "We don't know what these people are up to, but the way they look at us is creepy."
Hou Yunhai gently patted Zhao Dongwei's head, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Why are you so anxious? Did you forget what they caused here when you went out with them last time?"
Zhao Dongwei thought for a moment, then his eyes widened immediately. "It can't be that bad, can it?"
"Why not? I think that's exactly what they're thinking." Yun Xun watched as his mother and aunt walked away arm in arm.
Zhao Dongwei said, "But there's no shortage of water now, so there's no need to go through all that trouble. Besides, women look better with some hair."
At this point, Zhao Dongwei quickly stood up to look for his mother, but Yun Heng pointed in the direction of his older sister Yunxia and said, "Don't bother looking, they're all over there."
Zhao Dongwei was about to walk over when Yun Heng stopped him, asking, "What are you going over there for?"
Zhao Dongwei said, "I went to bring my mom back. Her hair had finally grown back. If I shaved it all off, how would I explain it to my dad?"
Yun Heng rolled his eyes at him. "If you go there now, do you think they'll listen to you?"
Yun Xun said, "They're having a great time right now. Didn't you see that Brother Cheng is ignoring them and letting Sister Yunqi and the others do whatever they want?"
Yun Sanman actually agreed with their approach, saying, "Why try to persuade them? I think shaving their heads all off is a good idea. It's too much trouble to watch them fix their hair every day. Shaving it off will save them some trouble."
After saying that, he touched his own hair and said, "When you're out and about, it's much easier to manage if you shave your head. After they're done shaving, I'll ask them to lend me their tools."
The middle-aged people around immediately responded enthusiastically, "We'll go get shaved too. It wouldn't look good if our hair was longer than those women's!"
These words immediately made everyone laugh, and they all wanted to join in.
Zhao Dongwei and his group did not expect things to turn out so quickly. Not only did they fail to dissuade him, but they also lost all of their own people.
Okay, if we're going to shave, let's all shave together. At worst, like last time, a whole bunch of us will have the same hairstyle. That sounds pretty cool.
The others, who were going out for the first time, were still confused when their companions explained the situation, and they were all astonished and opened their mouths wide.
Amon and his group were only slightly surprised that there were no female companions in their group this time, and then stopped discussing it.
But men like Wu Shan, who had female relatives in their families, began to look for their partners.
Cen Ran repeatedly stated, "I definitely won't shave my head, and that's not my style, so don't worry."
Many women who were traveling together for the first time expressed the same attitude, but they didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly.
Wu Shan looked at Cen Ran, who had covered her head with her clothes, and said, "You don't need to cover it anymore. A corner of it is already showing, and everyone can see it."
Cen Ran then awkwardly took off her clothes, revealing a bald head in front of Wu Shan.
"At first I didn't want to shave my head, but seeing how relaxed everyone looked after they shaved, I couldn't resist. But I really do look good with a shaved head; I look so much more energetic."
Wu Shan looked at her with a complicated expression, then glanced at the bald heads swaying around in each household, and felt a sense of relief. "Where are the razor blades?"
Cen Ran stared at him wide-eyed. "What do you need a razor blade for?"
Wu Shan: "What are you thinking? I'm going to get a razor blade and shave my head too, so my hair won't be longer than yours, that would be a bit outrageous."
Cen Ran pointed to the riverbank and said, "It's placed there by the river. Yun Qi said anyone who wants to use it today can go there to use it."
It was only then that Cen Ran understood the meaning of Yun Qi's words. He had known that these men would also shave their heads, which was why he left the razor blade there.
That night, everyone stayed up very late. When they woke up the next day, they found that, except for the Yunnan medicine doctor and his team who had gone to the village for treatment the day before, everyone else had shaved their heads.
“We can’t stay here anymore. Every time we come here, we have to shave our heads. What kind of feng shui treasure is this?” Liu Fengya glanced at his father’s bald head, touched his own hair speechlessly, and wondered why he felt like an oddball now. He didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the group.
Liu Zhijian chuckled and rubbed his bald head. "It actually feels pretty good. No wonder everyone wants to shave their heads. You should borrow some razor blades from Xiao Qi later, otherwise you'll look really weird."
