Chapter 279 The Living Dead
The decrease in the village population after the amnesty did not bring any negative impact to the village.
After a brief period of sadness, the villagers quickly returned to normal and plunged into the autumn harvest.
Time flies by in the busy life, and it is time to hibernate again.
When Old Man Su had some free time, he would open the door to his courtyard wide and teach the children in the village to read and tell stories, enjoying himself.
Su Da and Su Er are going to visit Li's house today, go to Wang's house to eat some fried peanuts tomorrow, and make a pot of tea at Chen's house the day after tomorrow. A group of men can talk about trivial matters for a long time.
Old Mrs. Su and her two daughters-in-law were also busy, keeping the yard tidy every day. They would sit down with needle and thread, sewing soles for shoes and cutting cloth for clothes. The boys' shoes always wore out quickly, so it was always a good idea to have a few extra pairs.
The busiest person is Su Xiuer. She has studied with Du Lao for more than ten years and has gotten some basic knowledge of medicine. In addition, she is gentle and easy to talk to. People in the village and surrounding areas who have headaches, fevers, or injuries always come to her for a checkup. Even the gang members of the Twelve Wharfs now address her as Doctor Su when they see her.
In comparison, Tianbao and the other little ones seem particularly idle.
And no one is willing to take them in.
When they went to the master's house, the master sent them away along with the wheat ears.
When I went to Wangque Tower, I was kicked out by my godfather who was so busy that he was dizzy.
Go to Pier 12, the bearded man put them aside, caught the drug addict and started beating the old man.
When they saw them, all the shops in Fengyun City prayed to God to let them go.
In the end, the only place left for them to fight was the Bai Mansion's martial arts training ground, but little Bai Yu stood by and refused to go on the field.
After going around in circles, people were exhausted and finally a group of them sat down in their vegetable gardens, digging sweet potato pits.
"The three Xiao An brothers are seventeen or eighteen years old this year. In the old days in Dahuai Village, they would have been looking for wives by this age." In the main room, Old Lady Su sat by the brazier, warming herself by the fire and knitting slippers. She listened to the noises from the vegetable garden, a kind smile on her face. "It's a pity that here, we don't even know where to find someone to date. I don't know where to start."
Liu Yuelan smiled and said, "If you really want to find a girl to date, there are ways to do it. Changdong and Patriarch Bai know a lot of people. You can ask them to help find out if there are any good girls."
He Daxiang nodded. "Not to mention the city, there are so many people in the Twelve Piers, and there should be quite a few families with daughters. As long as the children are attracted to each other and the other party is a good person, and the couple can live happily together in the future, and have a stable life, that's enough. We don't ask for more!"
Mrs. Su's smile widened. "Okay, I'll think about it. Those three brats are still undecided. Maybe they'll settle down after they get married."
Talking about their children's lifelong events, the three women were in high spirits. The more they talked, the happier they became. They wished that each of their three sons would bring a wife home tomorrow.
In the vegetable garden, the fighting stopped.
The expressions of Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu gradually became stiff.
Su An, "Impossible."
Su Wen, "You think too much."
Su Wu, "No way!"
Bai Yu sat on a low stool, a fire poker in one hand and roasting sweet potatoes in the other, his shoulders shaking with laughter. "Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers... Puff! Go and beg for mercy!"
The three of them fixed their gazes on him, baring their white teeth. "Bai Yu, you are eighteen this year, right?"
"Hahaha!" Bai Yu was at ease, his back straight, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, and an arrogant expression came over him. "This young master has great ambitions. How could he be trapped in a small house? I make my own decisions. My father can't make the decision for me."
This is definitely asking for a beating.
The three of them calculated their fighting power and finally chose to look down on him with their noses.
"Yes, Tianbao is fourteen, too!" Su Wu glanced at his sister, who was eating sweet potatoes and seemed to be indifferent to him. He slapped his thigh and remembered, "Grandma just talked about the three of us brothers, why didn't she mention Tianbao?"
Tianbao looked up blankly. Before she could speak, Su Wu was kicked. "Tianbao is still young!"
"Hiss! Why did you kick me? I just said um!"
"Eat your sweet potato!" Bai Yu stuffed the sweet potato in his hand into Su Wu's mouth without even peeling it. Su Wu was so angry that he peeled the sweet potato and stuffed it into his mouth in return.
Looking at the two people making a mess, Tian Bao tilted her head and thought for a while, "I won't get married even when I grow up."
Su An was watching the fun, and when he heard it, he thought his sister was still young and didn't understand, so he smiled and said, "You are still young now, you may change your mind when you are older."
"I won't get married even though I'm old enough." Tian Bao said. She had never thought about this problem before, but now that her brothers brought it up, she started to think about it seriously. "Men are useless."
Four future men, "..."
"I can write, fight, treat, and poison, earn money, and support a family. Do you want a man to keep me at home like a delicate flower?" Tian Bao didn't have the shyness of a young girl talking about her lifelong affairs. She was as calm as if she was talking about business. "Don't bring me up in this topic anymore."
Four,"……"
Bai Yu pulled the stool away from under him, squatted in front of the earthen kiln, dug up the dirt, and lowered his head to look for sweet potatoes in the dirt. "You don't like delicate flowers, what kind do you like?"
Tian Bao heard this and thought hard, "He can beat me."
"If you don't use any external force, how can I beat you with my fists and feet?" The boy picked up a sweet potato and tossed it in his hand, then looked up with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Okay." There is no such person at the moment, Tianbao is sure.
If there is one in the future, it will be because I was born and you were not, so there is no chance.
The smile in the boy's eyes grew even brighter, and after a moment he lowered his eyes to hide his expression, "Tianbao, remember what you said."
Su Wu, with a cat-like face, poked the two brothers beside him and said, "Why do I feel weird?"
Su An, "Hey, the two of them made a bet."
Su Wen, "I'm waiting to see. I wonder if the person who can defeat Tian Bao has three heads or six arms. I'm really looking forward to it!"
As the year draws to a close, news arrives from Wangque Tower.
When Tianbao rushed to Wangque Tower, Bai Yu had already arrived.
The stove was lit in the room, and it was warm.
In the open space in the middle of the house, the undead man was still tied up tightly, with chains tied around his feet to prevent him from jumping out the window and onto the roof.
The difference from before was that his upper body was stripped off, revealing a piece of iron sheet.
Bai Xiaofeng played with the iron whistle while lazily reclining on the heated couch. "This thing is made from a living human body. Using strange techniques, iron sheets were welded to the torso and the blood was drained to create a living dead. As for how to control it, it does have something to do with this iron whistle, but I haven't found the specific method yet."
"A living body?!" Not only Bai Yu, but also Tian Bao's face darkened.
All the dusty memories of the previous life came flooding out from the depths of my mind because of these four words.
The pain of having her marrow extracted by needles and the smell of medicine filling the glass house made her stomach churn, her muscles twitched uncontrollably, and her face turned pale.
"Tianbao!" Bai Yu immediately noticed something was wrong with her. His heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly helped her sit on the armchair. "What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Tian Bao shook her head, suppressing the discomfort, and looked at the man who sat up with a frown on the warm couch, "Godfather, what kind of strange magic can you use to concoct a living person?"
She is no longer at the age where she knows nothing. After being reborn and growing up in this place, she has sufficient understanding of this time and space.
The time and space here are different from those in my previous life.
But what she didn't expect was that even here, research using living people was happening, and there were the same demons.
