Chapter 14
Chapter 13 Fu Chen looked at her gloomily. …
The outside world is full of zombies. Is Zhou Village more terrifying than a place full of zombies.
However, she thought of the women’s class in Zhoucun today, and thought that sometimes the human nature is more terrifying, like a deep ocean, and what is not floating on the surface is broader than imagined.
A-mei’s grandma’s house only had two beds. She and A-mei slept on the bed. Because there was no entertainment, and because it was too early to fall asleep, they chatted.
More often, it is A-mei who is talking, and she is responding.
Both of them are young girls in season, and they talked about their preferences, from dressing to games to food.
A-mei said that there will be a chance to make some hot and sour radish sticks for her in the future, which is easy to appetite and can eat two bowls of rice.
Bai Qingqing likes spicy food, squinted and said with a smile, then you should do more.
Talking and chatting, the two fell asleep.
The next day.
Sunlight poured into the room through the window, and the golden light fell on the floor. The warm sunlight illuminated the two sleeping girls, and the atmosphere was warm and peaceful.
The old grandma came to the house and shouted: “Get up for breakfast.”
Bai Qingqing woke up first, then looked at A-mei who was rubbing her eyes, and smiled: “Get up, let’s have breakfast.”
After washing up, the two of them sat on the chairs and had breakfast with the grandmother. After eating, Bai Qingqing told Amei that Sister Hong would find that they were not in the small black room today, and asked her to find a place to hide.
Bai Qingqing disguised herself and went to Abao’s house secretly, and said through the window: “Abao, I’m going to find your brother.”
“Really?” A Bao looked forward to it, “Sister, you must bring your brother back.”
“Good.” Bai Qingqing replied.
There were not many people in the village. She bypassed the patrol team’s eyeliner and managed to reach the mountainside to the north.
Hearing footsteps and talking, Bai Qingqing dodged behind a pear tree and waited until people left before coming out.
It is not the season for pears to ripen. The pears hanging on the branches are young and tender. The pears after ripening must have a sweet taste.
She turned left and right along the path and climbed to the top of the mountain. Some people moved on the northern mountain. Many bricks were poured over the walls of the old houses. The weeds in the yard were all calf-high.
The new ancestral hall was built by Zhou villagers with joint efforts. With the new ancestral hall, the old ancestral hall on the mountain will naturally be abandoned.
Will Awang really be locked here?
In fact, she was a little skeptical in her heart. Even if Ngawang and Amei weren’t allowed to be together, why should the two of them be locked up on two sides, as if they were to be locked up until they were old.
She didn’t rush into the old ancestral hall, and it would be exposed if someone was watching over there.
“Bai Qingqing, why are you here?”
She immediately turned around and looked, and saw Fu Chen frowned and looked at herself with a gloomy expression.
“Brother.” Bai Qingqing hurried over, looked at him and said: “I’m looking for someone.”
“Who are you looking for?”
Bai Qingqing skipped a few things, met Amei in the little black room, and exaggerated the love between the two, with moving tears.
“So, I just ran here.”
Fu Chen’s face was still ugly, wondering whether Bai Qingqing was too simple after her amnesia.
“Didn’t I tell you not to run around?”
Bai Qingqing lowered her eyelashes and curled her lips: “I don’t have one.”
Fu Chen raised his hand to cover her head and said coldly: “Go back and teach you again, follow me.”
“Oh.” Bai Qingqing’s lips curled up and asked behind him: “Brother, why did you come here? Are you here to investigate the old ancestral hall?”
Fu Chen took her hand and said, “Come and take a look.”
In the previous life, he felt that there was something wrong with the people of Zhoucun. He didn’t have time to investigate carefully, so he went to find Bai Tiantian with Shen Mingxuan and the others, ignoring the old ancestral hall on the mountain.
Bai Qingqing originally felt a little suspended when he entered alone, but now that Fu Chen, a Tier 3 pinnacle powerhouse, is by his side, he feels a lot more relieved.
She can use Fu Chen to rescue Ngawang and complete the task.
The two entered the old ancestral hall, and the walls of the dilapidated house had mottled marks, the tiles showed light, and the atmosphere in the room was gloomy.
Bai Qingqing got closer to Fu Chen, pointed to the Guan Gong statue in the middle and asked, “Brother, look at that statue, it’s so scary.”
Fu Chen glanced at the statue of Guan Gong and said, “What’s so scary about a statue of God?”
Bai Qingqing followed him to look around. In addition to the dilapidated statues of the gods, there were some broken tiles, water tanks, weeds, and nothing else in the ancestral hall.
Didn’t it say that Awang was in the old ancestral hall?
Where is the person hiding? Fu Chen said that she would leave after three days. If she didn’t find out, then her mission would have failed.
Fu Chen’s face was dark, and he searched carefully, but he still couldn’t find any clues.
When the Thunder Squad left in the last life, the entire Zhou Village was abnormally changed, and the tidbits flying all over the sky, as long as the breathing tube was attracted, the seeds would be planted, and the abnormal change occurred immediately.
In the past two days, he searched the north and south, but he couldn’t find the source, except for this old ancestral hall.
He didn’t want to protect the people in Zhou Village. The wicked had their own retribution, but to be on the safe side, he wanted to kill the thing so as not to be out of control in the future.
Even if he couldn’t find it, he left Zhoucun with his teammates and Bai Qingqing earlier.
“Let’s go, we leave tonight.”
“So fast?” Bai Qingqing said in surprise: “Isn’t it three days?”
Fu Chen glanced at her and said, “This place is not easy to stay for long. Let’s leave first and then go to the surrounding cities to find supplies.”
Bai Qingqing lingered and didn’t want to leave, her eyes were fixed on the statue of Guan Gong, and she found a candlestick on the countertop, which was a bit strange.
“Brother, that candlestick is so weird, go and see?”
Fu Chen looked up and found something strange. He walked over and grabbed the candlestick, but failed to pick it up. He twisted the candlestick, and the rumbling sound under the Guan Gong statue counter was heard.
Bai Qingqing walked over and lifted the yellow cloth, revealing an underground passage.
Fu Chen glanced at her: “You stay on top, I’ll go down and take a look.”
“No.” Bai Qingqing grabbed his hand, “Brother, I will go down with you, if someone comes, I can’t beat it.”
Fu Chen thinks about it too, it’s best to take her around.
The underground passage was dark, Bai Qingqing took out a flashlight from the space and walked along the stairs for about a few minutes, and the two came to a wide area.
As soon as she entered, Bai Qingqing was stunned.
The inside of the underground passage turned out to be like an ancient prison. In the spacious wooden room, many children were curled up together. In the other cell, there were several young men sitting against the wall, their faces black and their bodies as thin as corpses.
Bai Qingqing shuddered. Is this the secret of Zhoucun?
Why keep the child underground? What is the reason for this? She didn’t dare to think about it, she was afraid it was the darkest answer in her heart.
Fu Chen held her hand, pulled her to his side, and said, “Don’t be afraid.”
Bai Qingqing walked to the cell where the young man was kept, and asked, “Who is Awang?”
A young man raised his pale face and looked at her: “Who are you? How did you get in? Run quickly.”
Bai Qingqing looked at him and asked seriously: “Are you Awang? Amei asked me to come to you.”
Like A-mei, Awang suddenly became emotional when he heard the other’s name, and climbed to the door of the cell with difficulty, “A-mei, how is she?”
Bai Qingqing said: “She’s okay, I will let you out now.”
She looked at Fu Chen beside her: “Brother, let them out.”
Fu Chen broke the lock and frowned at the group of locked children. He didn’t expect that Bai Qingqing had accidentally discovered Zhou Cun’s secret.
The people locked up here are not capable of fighting, and even if they go out, they will be caught back.
Anyway, go out first.
Bai Qingqing looked at the group of children embarrassedly, and asked gently, “Can you get up?”
The children hugged each other for warmth, their dark eyes were calm, and they were unwilling to speak, obviously just not believing her.
Awang said, “They won’t listen to you.” There was a calm sadness in his eyes, “Because their parents let them stay here.”
After the group went out of the cellar, Ngawang told the cruel truth, “They will come to feed the children once a day. When necessary, they will be the rations of the villagers, and so will the men from other towns.”
Bai Qingqing’s body trembled slightly, and there was an uncomfortable feeling in her stomach, which reminded her of the war era in ancient times.
-Easy to eat.
Women and children also need to go to the battlefield. It is not about respecting women and having equal rights, but the sadness of that era.
Doesn’t Zhoucun have enough food? Why do you want to do this?
Suddenly, a lot of Zhou villagers with weapons rushed out and surrounded them, yelling excitedly.
“Catch them! Take them to the sacred tree!”
