◎The Living Dead in the Yizhuang◎
The three brothers and sisters from Huashan were in shock. They finished their meal without telling anyone about the epidemic in Pinglan City.
Doctor Pei was only busy serving Miss An, peeling shrimps, picking up vegetables and handing out mouthwash, as attentively as if he were serving an ancestor. But except for the three of them, everyone else acted as if it was a matter of course.
Zhou Yuli: Are we the ones with the problem?
Zhou Yuli and the other two were full of doubts about their lives. They finished their meal in trepidation and only finally had time to sit down and talk business together.
Everyone sat at the table. Zhou Yuli took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice, "About ten days ago, a strange thing suddenly happened in Pinglan City."
"Strange? Isn't it an epidemic?" He Ziqing asked.
Zhou Yuli looked gloomy and shook his head slowly, saying, "In fact, until today, we are not sure whether it is an epidemic or not."
Pei Ji waved his fan, raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be interested: "Oh?"
An Jiu glanced at him. Since this man was reborn, he must have known what was going on with the epidemic in Pinglan City a long time ago, but he could still pretend to be so convincing. What a boast.
Although she was complaining in her heart, she pretended to be curious and looked at Zhou Yuli who was telling the "strange story".
Zhou Yuli continued, "At first, someone discovered that there were living dead people in a charity cemetery outside the city."
Lin Qingyan opened her eyes wide: "The living dead?"
The junior fellow was impatient, and before Zhou Yuli could say anything, he spoke up: "Yes, the dead people in the charity cemetery would get up and walk around every night! They would turn back into dead people at dawn. What else could this be but the living dead?"
Zhou Yihan also nodded repeatedly, his face pale, with a look of fear that he could not hide: "Yes, my senior brother and I went to see it together, and saw it with our own eyes. The corpses in the charity cemetery would come alive at night."
Hearing this, everyone had incredible expressions on their faces. He Ziqing couldn't help but ask, "Are they really all alive?"
Zhou Yuli denied it, "No, those corpses are not truly resurrected, they are just zombies that walk around like zombies and ghosts. So we guess that this may be a disease or a poison."
Pei Ji tapped his palm with the fan bone, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "You have to see it with your own eyes to know what it is."
Zhou Yuli: "Master, I sent someone to deliver the letter to you because I heard that the young master inherited the unique skills of the King of Medicine. Now that you are here, this matter will surely be solved. If we really find out who is behind this conspiracy, our Huashan Sect will not let this person off easily, and we will also send a generous gift to thank the young master."
Pei Ji's smile froze for a moment, then he quickly returned to his cheerful appearance. He smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Master Zhou and my father have a close relationship. I, Pei, will definitely do my part in this matter."
An Jiu seemed to be listening to Zhou Yuli's speech, but in fact she had always paid some attention to Pei Ji. There was something wrong with his expression just now, which others did not notice, but she saw it clearly.
What kind of thing could move a top-notch actor like Pei Ji?
After a brief thought, An Jiu analyzed that the reason for his change of color might be that "father".
Pei Ji's father is a well-known medicine king in the world, but the book does not describe him too much. After all, Pei Ji is just the second male lead, and there is no need to know too much about his family situation.
An Jiu only knew that Pei Ji's father was named Pei Zhou. He had been dead for several years when Pei Ji appeared and had never appeared in the text.
It is rumored that he has superb medical skills and is a well-deserved miracle doctor.
As for Pei Ji's biological mother, there was not even a trace of her.
However, it can be inferred from some details that since Pei Ji was murdered just after he was born, his mother must have been in danger at the time, so she should have died earlier.
After some pleasantries, the two sides decided to go to the charity cemetery together to see the corpses that could "come alive".
An Jiu and Pei Ji still rode in the carriage, while everyone else rode horses.
It didn't take long for them to get out of the city. Soon, they arrived at the charity cemetery. The cemetery was not big and there was no one around. There was a dead tree in front of the gate. On the bare branches stood a few crows with black feathers, staring at them motionlessly.
Zhou Yuli was the first to dismount and said, "After the zombies appeared, in order to prevent riots, we sealed the charity cemetery and did not allow the people to come."
The mayor of Pingtan City is a disciple of the Huashan Sect, so the entire Pingtan City is almost under the jurisdiction of the Huashan Sect.
As for the county magistrate in the government office, since the official position is rotated every few years, the government's control over each city is not as great as that of the city lord who has been deeply rooted in the local area for many years.
This is also the origin of the saying "A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake".
An Jiu was standing on the shaft of the cart and was about to jump down, but she saw her junior fellow apprentice Xi Guangyuan approaching her and saying, "Miss An, be careful. I'll help you down."
Before An Jiu opened his mouth to refuse, he felt a sudden chill on his spine, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
She was silent for a moment, then looked back and saw Pei Ji sitting in the car, dressed in white, smiling. He asked gently, "Why don't you get off, Miss An?"
Every time he would wait for her to get off first before he did.
An Jiu said nothing, ignored Xi Guangyuan's outstretched hand without hesitation, and jumped down neatly, stirring up a layer of dust.
Xi Guangyuan: “…”
Xi Guangyuan was obviously not someone who would back down easily. While An Jiu walked forward on her own, he continued to follow her and chat with her persistently.
It was not easy to talk to the beauty in the inn before, but now I finally found the opportunity.
Although Miss An had a bit of a bad temper, Xi Guangyuan thought it was normal. A beauty should be treated differently. Besides, she was so beautiful that even he was willing to serve her in everything.
Xi Guangyuan is a typical lickspittle type of person. An Jiuxian has met many of them. Those lickspittles are either after her face or her money. She usually doesn't bother to pay attention to them.
But this time she didn't chase him away, but kept him hanging for a while, but in fact, her eyes were always on the young man in white not far away.
Pei Ji was walking with Zhou Yuli, and seemed to be conversing with Zhou Yuli attentively.
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you is -5, currently -15. ]
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +5, currently -10. ]
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you is -5, currently -15. ]
…
An Jiu: "..."
Ah!!! Even if it is changed to 5 cents per report, it is still inevitable to be flooded with messages!
She was really impressed by this man! Was there so much psychological activity?
An Jiu endured the electronic sound in her ears and observed carefully. Whenever she talked to Xi Guangyuan, she would lose points. When she was obviously perfunctory to Xi Guangyuan, the good impression was added back.
So, he was really watching her secretly, right?
The reason why An Jiu got close to Xi Guangyuan was to test Pei Ji's current attitude towards her and indirectly stimulate his favorability.
During these few days on the road, she had finally managed to reduce her favorability to -10, but it seemed to be stuck and couldn't move.
An Jiu understood that this was a bottleneck.
She guessed that -10 was probably equivalent to someone who was a bit annoying, while positive points were for someone who was liked. If she wanted to turn Pei Ji from being disgusted to being liked, she would have to add some stimulation.
Now it seems that there is stimulation, but it only stimulates her.
Her mind was almost blown up by the screen-sweeping messages.
In order to protect his brain, An Jiu shook off Xi Guangyuan without hesitation and walked to Pei Ji.
As she walked over, the young man in white turned around slowly after a while and looked at her.
"Miss An, what's wrong?"
An Jiu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I have a headache."
Pei Ji's eyes flashed with surprise. Seeing that the girl's face was indeed pale, he couldn't help but frowned: "Give me your hand, I'll take your pulse."
Nothing can happen to her, her life is related to his.
An Jiu shook his head, exhaled lightly, and whispered: "It's not because of my health, it's just too noisy. It gave me a headache."
Quarrel?
Pei Ji subconsciously wanted to ask, where is the noise coming from?
The next second she suddenly remembered that Xi Guangyuan had been hovering around her, talking and flirting with her like a fly, and it sounded really noisy.
As soon as this thought came into his mind, Pei Ji's mood suddenly became clear.
Under the bright spring sunshine, his features became more tender and he couldn't help but smile. He took off the purse he was wearing from his waist and handed it to the girl: "It contains pills that can refresh your mind. Smelling it can relieve headaches."
An Jiu took it without hesitation, put it to the tip of his nose and took a deep sniff. Sure enough, a cool feeling rushed to his forehead, instantly relieving the dizziness and discomfort caused by the screen scrolling.
nice one!
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately looked down at the young man in white, raised her chin, and said confidently, "From now on, this is mine!"
Anyway, he was the one who caused her a headache, so he should be responsible for this!
After saying this, without waiting for his answer, she immediately hung the white satin purse around her waist. On the purse, there was a small word "Pei" embroidered with silver thread, which was faintly visible as the girl walked.
Pei Ji took a look at the purse with his name on it hanging on the girl's crimson skirt. The snow-white color fell on the red skirt, making it too conspicuous.
He fixed his eyes for a moment, then slowly retracted them and smiled good-naturedly: "Okay, it's yours."
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +5, currently -5. ]
An Jiu's dark eyes flashed, and a fleeting smile flashed across his eyes.
It seems that this stimulation is not ineffective.
Everyone had already walked into the charity cemetery. There was a huge courtyard at the entrance. Usually, this courtyard was used to place corpses, but now it was empty and desolate. Most of the corpses in the charity cemetery were people without relatives or friends. Because no one collected the bodies, they had to be sent to the charity cemetery for burial by the government.
Even so, they just rolled up the straw mat and threw it into the pit and buried it.
Zhou Yihan had a traumatic experience with this place and didn't dare to come in, so he waited outside the charity cemetery while everyone else came in.
Zhou Yuli said, "Those corpses would move at night. Even if they were buried in the ground, they would dig themselves out and crawl out. So we set a fire and burned many of the corpses, leaving only a few for you to check."
When I pushed open the door of the inner room of the charity cemetery, a cold breeze blew through, bringing with it an unpleasant odor.
I don’t know if it’s because there were too many deaths, but it was unusually cold in the charity cemetery. The temperature was several degrees lower than outside, like a cellar. As soon as you walked in, the light became much dimmer, as if the sunlight and warmth were blocked out.
The remaining bodies were placed in the lobby of the charity cemetery, lying quietly on several bamboo beds.
Many of the corpses were festering, with torn wounds and tiny maggots wriggling in their tattered clothes.
An Jiu raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose, and couldn't help but let out a cry.
Xi Guangyuan immediately offered his courtesy and said, "If Miss An is not feeling well, I will take you out. This place is full of filth and dirt. Don't dirty your embroidered shoes."
An Jiu covered her mouth with one hand and waved it, trying to endure it: "It's okay."
Then he took out the purse from his waist, pressed it to his nose and inhaled hard.
She did this movement very smoothly. When she recovered, she looked up and saw a young man in white clothes not far away looking at her with his narrow eyes curved at the corners.
The author has something to say:
Pei Pei: She said that man was noisy and she didn't like him! She smelled my purse and she liked me!
Anjiu: ??? It’s you who’s arguing with me!
