It rained for a week.
During this period, the villagers had no time to look for any strange glowing stones. They couldn't even leave their homes, let alone take care of Liu Dongshu.
There were even several families whose houses were flooded because they were located in low-lying areas, and they had to move to people's homes on higher ground overnight to stay temporarily.
Pei Xiqing's location was the best in the village, and no water could get in at all, so it was natural that he received several villagers in distress.
Everyone usually helps each other, so there is no sense of alienation at this moment. Pei Xiqing arranged two empty rooms for the two families to stay temporarily.
They lived on the first floor, which was quite a distance away from her and Duan Xiaolin's bedroom on the second floor. As long as they paid attention, they would not disturb each other.
It was still raining heavily outside. She was lying on the bed reading a book when someone knocked on the door.
Xiaobai also sat up immediately and stared at the door.
Pei Xiqing got out of bed, put on a coat, went over to open the door, and asked, "Aunt Chen, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
The woman called Aunt Chen wiped the rain off her face. Her body was also dripping with water. She pleaded in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "Miss Pei, is Mr. Duan here? We need his help. Please be kind and ask him for us!"
"Please tell me first. He's not at home right now. I'll see if we can help."
Aunt Chen tugged at her sleeve, tears streaming down her face. "Our house was washed away, and losing our land is not a big deal, but I just took a look and saw that the dozen or so chickens and two cows we raised at home are about to be drowned. They are our lives and property. If they all die, we will have nothing!"
Pei Xiqing: "This..."
"Miss Pei, your husband is very powerful and has been at the base before. He must have a way to save those beasts..."
Pei Xiqing soothed him, "Why would he need to intervene in such a trivial matter?"
He turned around and glanced at Xiaobai who was still in a daze, "Xiaobai, you're here to help."
Xiaobai swung his tail and immediately stood up from the carpet in high spirits.
"Can this dog do it?"
"Don't worry." Pei Xiqing patted his aunt's shoulder, "It's more effective than people."
With that, Xiaobai rushed downstairs.
Pei Xiqing followed behind with an umbrella, "Xiaobai! Be careful! Don't be too anxious!"
It was raining heavily outside. Her umbrella was almost blown away by the strong wind and she was inevitably soaked by the rain. Before she could take a few steps, someone grabbed the umbrella in her hand.
She looked up: "Brother Duan."
"What's wrong?"
A tall man stood beside her, the black umbrella in his hand covering her whole body.
"Aunt Chen's chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are all about to drown. Only Xiaobai can save them. I told him to be careful."
Duan Xiaolin put his arm around her shoulders and said, "That's just right."
Pei Xiqing asked: "What?"
"It's a good opportunity for us to see its ability as a parasite."
I waited for about seven or eight minutes.
In the heavy rain, a dirty black object was running wildly in the rain, followed closely by herds of cattle and sheep.
When Pei Xiqing saw the situation clearly, he saw that the one in the front was Xiaobai. It was covered in mud and had a chicken in its mouth.
Duan Xiaolin hugged her into the house and said, "It seems that it is still somewhat useful."
Pei Xiqing: "That's your son."
How could you say that about your own son?
"Yes, so you need to exercise more." He said, "Maybe you can protect you for me in the future."
"Protecting yourself is more like it." She is not afraid of the zombie virus.
The man just smiled and said nothing.
The cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks that Xiaobai brought back were all placed in the large open space behind their yard.
There are mountains behind them, where they can take shelter temporarily.
Pei Xiqing was outside with a hose, washing the mud off Xiaobai's body.
After just a few rinses, it started to swing around, splashing stains all over Pei Xiqing.
She got angry, grabbed Xiaobai's ear and said, "If you shake it again, your dad will come and wash it for you!"
When Duan Xiaolin comes to wash it, it won't be able to be so unruly anymore.
Xiaobai's ears and tail drooped, and he lay quietly in the yard, allowing Pei Xiqing to wash him.
It took more than an hour to finally wash off all the mud on it.
Duan Xiaolin has already prepared the meal.
She took Xiaobai upstairs, and when several villagers saw her, they all said, "Luckily, you're here, Miss Pei."
"You are welcome."
"Alas, our home is more than half destroyed. I don't know where that kid Liu Dongshu has gone. He said he would take us back to our base, but now there's no sign of him at all."
"Uncle and aunt, I advise you not to wait any longer." Pei Xiqing warned from upstairs, "His motives for coming here are not pure. He's not here to take you away. Instead, he's just using you. If you truly want to live a peaceful and stable life, stay out of the base and don't get involved with anything related to superpowers."
"this……"
Several people looked at each other.
I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Life in the base is too attractive to them. Although there has been peace here in the past few years since the end of the world, everyone is still worried. The zombie crisis is like a sword hanging over their heads all the time.
Now they have such a good opportunity to keep the base safe forever, they really don't want to give up.
Pei Xiqing said bluntly, "If he doesn't show up, he's either dead or he left long ago. His team members should still be in the village now. There's only one possibility, and that's that he's dead. You're just waiting in vain."
"Dead? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, that kid has superpowers, how could he die so easily..."
"Then how can we take over the base? It's impossible."
Sister Chen stepped forward again and held Pei Xiqing's hand: "Miss Pei, you and your husband are both from the base. Now that Liu Dongshu is dead, can you please take us to the base? I beg you!"
