It is unknown where the Liusha River originates. It is named because of the turbid water of the river. It flows to the sea with its vast, turbulent waves and powerful momentum.
The Qingshui River is a tributary that flows into the Liusha River. The water flow is not large all year round, but it also supports the people in the villages and towns along the way.
Qingshui River originates from Hongye Mountain and winds its way. It sparkles in the sun and looks like a colorful ribbon from the air.
Not far from the last bend of the Qingshui River that is about to merge into the Liusha River, there is a small village surrounded by a soil-embedded city wall.
There were only about 20 households in the village, with a total population of more than 100. It was noon at this time, and smoke was already rising from the homes of many farmers. It dispersed in the air and was blown away by the wind after a while.
On the path in the village, a girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old was walking with some difficulty carrying a large backpack.
Although it was already late autumn and the weather was already a bit cold, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. She was smiling brightly in the sunshine and greeting people in the village.
"Xiaowan, are you collecting herbs from the village chief and others?"
An old man who looked to be in his fifties and had dark skin was squatting on the stone in front of his house, holding a rice bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, talking to the girl.
Ren Pingsheng looked at Xiaowan and pointed at the food on Xiaofang's table.
Xiaowan was picked up from the roadside when he first traveled to this world.
Xiaowan knew that the old man in front of her looked like he was in his fifties, but he was actually just over thirty.
"After eating, don't forget to drink the milk."
In the end, he was rescued by the passing village chief and his party, and arrived at Liujia Village, where he finally found a temporary place to stay.
Looking at Xiao Wan's back walking away with the big backpack pressed on her thin body, Aunt Liu, who had just walked to the courtyard gate with her rice bowl, said with some pity: "That boy surnamed Ren is really, let such a little girl come out to work,
I'm just lazy at home..."
Along the way, I saw people starving to death on the roadside more than once, as well as corpses that had been eaten and looked like bones, and white bones that had not been collected by the roadside.
There are many living corpses outside the village..."
Therefore, people also appear older.
And over there, after Xiaowan walked through an alley, he came to a small courtyard.
Until he saw Xiaowan lying on the roadside, unable to move, with her eyes open, her eye sockets sunken, like a skeleton, with more air coming out and less air coming in. When she saw the pleading in her eyes, Ren Pingsheng felt compassion and gave her
She fed her water and some biscuits, which brought her back from the brink of death.
And thus I found a loyal little maid.
In these years, there were constant natural and man-made disasters, and the court imposed exorbitant taxes and levies. The common people's life was very difficult because they could only eat two meager meals a day. There were also frequent food shortages. When there was a famine, countless people died of starvation.
"Master, I'm back!"
While thinking about it, Ren Pingsheng continued to type on the keyboard: "Living zombies are very similar to zombies. After a living person is caught and bitten by a living zombie, it will take about ten minutes or two hours at the longest to be invaded by the corpse poison and turn into a zombie."
Become a living corpse.
"Okay."
"I left some food for you. Eat it first and then prepare the herbal medicine."
As soon as she heard the young master's voice, Xiaowan's mood jumped up.
Xiaowan felt very sweet after hearing this.
Xiaowan smiled and declined Uncle Liu.
Who can refuse to raise a slim, obedient girl with their own hands?
Aunt Liu didn't have any idea and just followed what was said.
Ren Pingsheng recalled that he was carrying Xiaowan on his back and being chased by a group of living corpses, like two bereaved dogs.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, the young master said that these herbs are of very good quality. Once they are prepared, they will definitely be of the highest quality."
Ren Pingsheng looked at Xiaowan's drooling look and couldn't help but smile. It's all a technological rice bowl. Who can resist the fragrant rice bowl?
The young master's food is always delicious.
"Thank you. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
It has only been two months, and if you look at her situation now, you can tell at a glance that the boy from the Ren family has not treated her badly."
"December 14, 2022. It has been two and a half months since I came to this world, but this village is located in a remote place, the villagers have little knowledge, the outside world is very dangerous, and the information available is very scarce.
Knowing that the young master was "working", she ate quietly and sensibly.
"Come in, Xiaowan, come and eat first."
However, in the past two months, Xiaowan, who has gained some flesh on her face and gradually plumped up her body, actually looks quite beautiful.
Fortunately, the group of zombies were stumbling and not very fast. Although Ren Pingsheng's lungs were burning in this long-distance rally, he was never overtaken. He also took the opportunity to kill a few of them with the small steel crossbow in his hand.
Only.
When I first came to this world, I saw for the first time what was mentioned in the book: "bones froze to death on the road" and "people eat each other in great hunger".
"No need, Uncle Liu, we're just a few steps away from the alley ahead."
It's just that I've been malnourished since I was a child, and my figure is still a bit dry, with no breasts and no butt, and I'm less than 1.5 meters tall. I don't know if this head will be able to move around in the future.
The door of the small courtyard was closed. After Xiaowan opened the door, there was a courtyard inside. At this time, the chopped and processed medicinal materials were drying in the courtyard, exuding the aroma of herbs.
A young and energetic voice came from the room.
Xiao Wan looked at the table, which was simple but not simple, and poured out a layer of meat-filled rice bowl, moving her index fingers.
Xiaowan put the backpack on the ground and shouted towards the north room where the door was closed.
Uncle Liu shook his head and said.
"Thank you, Master."
Ever since she followed the young master, she has been living a fairy-like life. She had never had such a sweet dream before!
She picked up the bowl and glanced at the young master, only to see that he had turned around and was tapping on the "keyboard" in front of that magical thing called a "laptop."
Uncle Liu saw Xiaowan struggling, put down the empty bowl and said.
When he opened the door and walked in, he saw the handsome young man sitting at the table under the window, looking at him with a gentle smile.
Ren Pingsheng gave the instruction, which was quite a bit of nurturing fun.
"Do you need help?"
"That's right. The boy from the Ren family is a scholar at first sight. He can also treat people. After he came to the village, he helped a lot of people. Everyone said that he has excellent medical skills."
If you don't have enough to eat, you have to do heavy work.
"You can't say that. When this little girl first came here, her hair was yellow, her face was yellow and her skin was thin, her skin was covered with bones. She looked scary.
Moreover, even if some living people die naturally, they will turn into living corpses in the next few days. If their heads cannot be pierced or burned and cremated in time, they will mutate.
If we use a metaphor, these people are very much like asymptomatic infected persons who carry corpse poison. They have no symptoms when they are alive, but they will show symptoms when they die."
Ren Pingsheng was typing, combing, and thinking.
"Currently, there is still too little information available about this world. For today's plan, the most important thing in this world is:
The first is security, the second is information, and the third is manpower.”
