19 - Chapter Nineteen




Lu Baiming was choked up.
Zhou Yan laughed at the situation and untied the gong hanging from the branch and handed it to him.
Lu Baiming rolled his eyes and took it, knocking wildly.
The sky was already getting brighter and brighter, and soon the three of them saw villagers with various farming tools in their hands rushing over.
There were no more zombies to threaten, and Lu Baiming saw that the front runner had a hoe in his hand and was still in the mood to sit on the tree. They say that an inch is long and an inch is strong, so that we don't even have to worry about them catching our feet in the trees just now."
Zhou Yan sneered, "Then you should remember to take it next time!"
Lu Baiming quickly shook his head, "Never, I don't want to have another time."
All the men from the village arrived one after another during the conversation, and when they saw the few zombie corpses on the ground, they didn't look too good.
Lu Jianguo and Lu Baiming's father were also in the crowd, and after seeing that the three of them were fine, their hearts that were hanging on after hearing the sound of the gong finally fell to the ground.
When the three of them saw everyone coming over, they all flipped over and jumped down from the tree.
Lu Baichuan naturally stepped forward to explain to them what had happened, but didn't go into too much detail, only saying, "At dawn, we climbed up into the tree after hearing the sound, and when we saw that they were just surrounding us under the tree, we didn't strike the gong to call everyone to come over, fearing that they would be unprepared and instead dangerous."
Lu Baiming heard him say that, he knew that he didn't want everyone to know about Zhou Yan's superior hearing, although he was timid and shouting, but he also carried the good and the bad, not counting the last time, just this morning, if it wasn't for Zhou Yan's good skills, he wasn't sure he was completely unharmed, now Lu Baichuan didn't want people to know about this, he naturally wouldn't say anything, so he also nodded his head as an agreement.
At this time the person who went to the intersection to check on the situation also came over and said, "Several ropes have been ripped off and I've tied them again."
Lu Jianye nodded his head to show that he knew, and said, "Since we are all here, let's simply have a small meeting, you have seen the situation here, these zombies are expected to be recognizable to everyone, that is the next village, their village is less than four miles away from us, now a few of them have come over, and who knows how many more are behind, when they will come over again . Why don't we just close the road while the seedlings are still growing and people aren't in such a hurry to plant, is that okay with you?"
Most people, when they saw these zombie corpses, hated to close off the road so that the zombies couldn't get in, so naturally they were fine with it at this point.
But it was only most of them, not all.
As a matter of fact the words had just fallen out, a man in his fifties, with a dry and thin body and dark skin, stood out and said, "My youngest son hasn't come back yet, how can he enter the village when the road is sealed?"
The rest of those who heard that there were family members who had not yet returned also nodded their heads.
Those who had returned from outside at this time were all thinking in their hearts that the odds of coming back were probably not good at this point, but because they were all from the countryside, the words were too putrid, and no one said anything.
The scene was very quiet for a while.
Zhou Yan thought about it and said, "How about we just build a staircase from inside to the fence, and if someone from outside comes back, they can see it from the staircase and just put a ladder down for them."
Those people also thought it was feasible after hearing that, it would ensure their safety, and if someone came back they could also come in, the worst thing was that they would go to the fence more often afterwards to guard there, so they all nodded their heads in agreement.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest version of this article. From now on, except for the three of them who were on watch here last night, everyone else will come over and work, including the children, and they will be called in to move the bricks, so that one family can go back to cooking at each mealtime."
He said naming a few more men, all of whom had more than one man in the family, and said, "You guys stay here and keep watch, while the other ones dispose of the bodies on this ground and find a place to burn them."
The rest of them dispersed, each going home to get tools and materials.
Zhou Yan quickly called out to Lu Jianye at the sight of the situation.
Unlike Lu Baiming's father, Lu Xingye, Lu Jianye was tall and sturdy, with a national face, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and exuded a sense of majesty and righteousness all over his body.
Lu Jianye had a good impression of Zhou Yan and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Zhou Yan thought about it and asked, "What kind of fence do you want to build?"
When Lu Jianye heard him say that, he knew he had something to say, smiled and said, "What do you have to say?"
Zhou Yan originally wanted to give his opinion, so naturally he wouldn't push it at this point, so he said, "The zombies we encountered today are already much more powerful than the ones I encountered outside before, and they aren't that easy to kill, so I thought that if we're going to build a fence, we might as well build a tall and sturdy one."
Lu Jianye nodded at the news and said, "Okay, I know, I'll make the arrangements, you guys are tired after staying up all night, go home early and get some rest."
On the way back Zhou Yan was still a little unsure, pulling Lu Bachuan and asking, "Do you think the village chief will listen to me?"
Lu Baichuan said, "Don't worry, Uncle Jianye is a retired soldier, he has experience in this area, since it's a defensive move, he'll naturally do his best, if you're really worried, just keep an eye on it when we go over this afternoon."
Zhou Yan thought, that's all there is to it.
When they arrived home, Ye Yuan Rong was at the door anxiously, seeing Lu Baichuan and Zhou Yan walking over, busy welcoming both of them to check them over, after seeing that they were all fine, thinking that the situation outside should be under control, before saying in a post-scared tone: "Luckily you two are fine, when I heard the sound of the gong, it scared me to death, and your father didn't allow me to follow, leaving me alone in the Here, I almost went crazy with anxiety... you said nothing happened for so many days, how come it's your turn?"
Lu Baichuan quickly said, "Isn't it all right? Don't worry, we've got it covered."
Then he told her again about the fence to be built today.
After hearing that, Ye Yuan Rong said, "Then you guys quickly go wash up, and I'll go make you some food."
Since they were in a hurry and two more of them had to work at noon, breakfast was cooked quickly and truthfully.
In the space, there was the marinated meat that Lu Jianguo had made before, and in the morning, they scalded some vegetables and cooked a big bowl of noodles for each of them, pouring the marinated meat with the juice.
After eating, Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong looked for a small cart, intending to put a pile of bricks piled in the corner before repairing the house born to push over, Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan good not sleepy, go over to help, four people together, and soon the bricks are pushed to the big willow tree.
After Ye Yuanrong is not willing to let them stay there to work, said even if you can not sleep also have to go back to rest, so many people in the village, there is no reason for them to guard the night, and now they are still short of this manpower.
The two men went back to see nothing else to do, and took out the previously collected pumpkin vines to peel them, which Zhou Yan had never eaten before, or the first time he ate them when he came to play here in the summer, and fell in love with the taste, after which a summer vacation not only ate a pleasure, but even the peeling technique soared all the way up.
The two sat on a stool and chatted while peeling the skin of the pumpkin vine, and when they were all done, they got sleepy.
Zhou Yan put the large pot of pumpkin vines in the kitchen, and they washed their hands and feet before going to bed.
When he woke up, the sun was shining outside.
Zhou Yan looked at the time, it was almost lunchtime, and after sneaking around the house, he saw that Ye Yuanrong hadn't returned yet, so he prepared lunch for a few people by himself.
The last time he saw Ye Yuanrong stewing once, he wanted to try it himself this time, finding the small ceramic pot that cooks the rice, washing the rice and putting it on the gas to cook on high heat, and preparing the food to be cooked next to him, and also keeping watch over the rice so that it doesn't get burnt.
In the morning he peeled the pumpkin vine naturally will not fall, this chopped and put some chili pepper and garlic stir-fry on the line.
The rest of the preparation of a few kinds of home cooking.
See the time is still early, thought of Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong outside work should be hot to, and prepared a big pot of lemon honey tea, put into the well water chilled.
By the time Ye Yuanrong returned, Zhou Yan had already prepared everything.
All these years Ye Yuanrong has been in the city most of the time, it's been a long time since she has done such high-intensity work, this morning without stopping, and under the big sun, naturally a little bit of physical overload, seeing that Zhou Yan has already prepared the meal, can't help but send a sigh of relief, honestly, she doesn't have any extra energy to cook again.
So she was happy to sit on the sofa to rest, next to the refreshing lemon and honey tea that Zhou Yan brought over.
The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years, and is now in the process of developing the new product.
Seeing that Zhou Yan is busy, but Lu Bachuan has nothing to do beside him, so he beckoned and said, "Look at the others, Little Yan, and then look at you, just play here, since there is nothing to do, then come over and press my shoulder."
Lu Bachuan's heart is silently groaning: in the past, I don't know who was always worried that Zhou Yan would be sorry for me in the future, but now that we're just together, we've started to take Zhou Yan's side, and I don't know who is your real son.
But also don't dare to say it, see his mother is really tired, and walk over to her to press her shoulder.
When Lu Jianguo came back, a few people started to eat, and after eating there was no rest, the time for everyone to go home to eat is also regulated, one group of people go back to eat first, and only after one group of people finish eating and go back to work can the other wave go back, they are naturally too embarrassed to delay for too long, after cleaning up the dishes, the four of them hurried over.
The author has something to say: It seems like a lot of places don't eat pumpkin stalks, but it's really super delicious~.
