Chapter 363: Changing to a Vegetarian Diet
Zhou Yunshu understood what Zhou Yunqi was thinking just by looking at his expression.
She covered his mouth and squatted there, listening carefully to what those people were saying.
"Do you smell anything?" Someone stopped, twitched his nose twice and asked the people around him.
The chaotic footsteps disappeared, and a puzzled voice came, "It's the smell of fire."
As soon as this was said, another person who was less courageous said in a trembling voice: "Could you please not be so scary in the middle of the night? Who else but us would light a fire in a cemetery in the middle of the night?"
“It really smells like burning paper.”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yunqi didn't need Zhou Yunshu to cover his mouth. He closed his mouth and then held the shovel beside him tightly with his right hand.
But with three minions, he is enough on his own.
"I told you guys to come burn paper earlier, but you forced us brothers to burn paper at night!"
“…”
There was some truth in the man's indignant yet choked voice. The people outside apologized to those around them. Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunqi, who were squatting not far away, looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
So, these three people are the lone members of the Zhou family army?
When the smell of smoke and fire came from not far away, Zhou Yunshu stood up slightly and looked up.
I saw three men placing offerings in front of the largest tomb diagonally in front of me. In addition, three others stood in a circle in the middle and burned paper around them.
"General, this is the last time we come to burn paper for you. We are going home."
"General, we really can't stay in this northern border any longer. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei's men have been searching for us for a while now. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."
"You don't know down there, but our people are suddenly followed by a green-eyed monster for some unknown reason. That guy is obviously a foreigner, and we don't know why they would join him!"
The timid person said: "Maybe he betrayed the Zhou family army."
"Nonsense, the Zhou family army is the most loyal!"
"But it was those aliens that the general led us to fight back then, and now they're actually working for that green-eyed monster. What else could this be but betrayal?"
One of them said, "I'm guessing. I'm just guessing. I have a feeling someone may have cast a spell on them. Otherwise, why would they follow that green-eyed monster?"
"Who knows? Anyway, he's been captured by the King of Wei." The man said as he burned paper, "If it was in the past, it would be fine. Our general's eldest granddaughter was the King of Wei's wife, but she's not anymore. The King of Wei isn't a good person either."
"As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. I ahhhhhhhhh!"
The person who was the least timid finally stopped being afraid, and then he found that a person suddenly appeared from behind a grave not far away.
Can you imagine the horror of someone suddenly appearing from behind a grave in a cemetery in the middle of the night, frightening him so much that he screamed and fell to the ground with weak legs?
When he kicked the fire on the ground, a lot of sparks flew up, causing the other two to look at Zhou Yunshu who emerged from behind the grave. They were so scared that they collapsed into a straight line.
"Don't be afraid."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the three people opposite who were terrified, and walked out from behind the grave while they were screaming in resistance and even preparing to draw weapons.
"We are not ghosts, we are human beings. You don't have to be afraid."
The three looked at Zhou Yunshu and the other person holding shovels across from them. After realizing what was happening, they pointed at their noses and yelled, "Are you crazy to be here in the middle of the night?"
"Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"
"Fuck, I'm going to be a vegetarian now, or you two will be in big trouble!"
Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunqi looked at the three people on the opposite side who were jumping up and down and did not refute. After all, their appearance just now might, perhaps, be a little scary.
Well, just a little bit.
After the three people opposite had vented their fear, they looked at the shovels in Zhou Yunshu and the other person's hands, and grabbed the long knives beside them.
The leader looked at Zhou Yunshu and the others warily and asked, "What are you two doing here at the Heroes' Tomb in the middle of the night with shovels?"
Zhou Yunshu didn't answer him for the time being, but asked, "Are you from the Zhou family army?"
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't!"
Zhou Yunqi looked at the three people opposite him and sang: "Raise the tiger flag and fight in all directions."
"Defeat the northern barbarians with great fanfare."
After the three of them finished singing in unison, they looked at Zhou Yunqi across from them in astonishment, "You're also from the Zhou Family Army!"
After both parties confirmed each other's identities, Zhou Yunqi let down his guard and said, "I guess so."
"What do you mean by 'I guess so'? If you weren't one of them, how could you sing the military song of our Zhou Family Army?"
"My name is Zhou Yunqi, and I'm Zhou Cungao's grandson."
After Zhou Yunqi finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other in surprise, and then saluted Zhou Yunqi with a serious expression.
Zhou Yunqi stepped forward and helped the three men up. Just as he was about to ask them why they had left the Northern Territory, the three men said, "Young Master, you're here in the middle of the night with a shovel to visit the general's grave?"
Zhou Yunqi awkwardly put the shovel in his hand behind him.
"Oh, I see. That burning smell I smelled just now wasn't it you guys burning paper?"
Zhou Yunqi nodded and calmly changed the subject, "What are your names?"
"My name is Chen Dayong!" This was said by the person who seemed to be the leader among the three.
"My name is Li Shitou." This was the person who asked Zhou Yunqi why he was holding a shovel in the middle of the night.
Finally, the one who was the more courageous touched his head and said to Zhou Yunqi with a smile: "Young Master, my name is Ergou."
After they introduced themselves, they looked at Zhou Yunshu beside them, wondering why Zhou Yunqi came to worship in the middle of the night and brought a woman with him.
Only Chen Dayong was surprised after taking a few more glances at Zhou Yunshu and said, "You two look alike!"
After Chen Dayong was surprised, Li Shitou and Ergou, who had not dared to look at Zhou Yunshu because of her identity as a woman, now fixed their eyes on Zhou Yunshu.
"Oh my goodness, it really looks like it."
"A man and a woman!"
Zhou Yunshu: “…”
"Oh right," Li Shitou said, "I heard that General Zhou has a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and the girl is the former Princess Wei. You..."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the man's questioning and probing gaze and nodded, "I am the one who divorced the King of Wei."
After Zhou Yunshu said this, she was met with sympathy and pity in the eyes of the three people.
"Is there anything about me that deserves sympathy?"
Although Ergou was timid, he dared to say, "Miss, don't be discouraged. The King of Wei is shortsighted for divorcing you for another woman!"
"Yes, our eldest daughter is so beautiful! I don't believe that the woman the King of Wei is hiding is prettier than our eldest daughter!"
Zhou Yunshu: “…”
This rumor, which has no basis at all, has spread quite widely.
Zhou Yunshu didn't want to waste time on these untrue gossips. She looked at the three people and asked, "Do you know where our grandfather and father's graves are?"
