Chapter 20
Accident
"We are going to Qamdo now. As for finding those gangsters, we can only find a way later." Chu Zheng sighed and said.
Some time ago, he and his sister went to a ruined temple.
When we got there, the ruined temple was already empty.
Some of the footprints were also washed away by the heavy rain, making it impossible to trace the gangsters.
Therefore, revenge can only be postponed.
"Well, okay." Chu Qingqing responded, but her heart relaxed.
She was really afraid that her brother would take revenge.
This doesn't mean she doesn't have hatred in her heart.
On the contrary, she wanted to eat the flesh of those robbers. But now she only had her brother as a relative, and she really didn't want anything to happen to her only relative.
Then, the two turned around and disappeared into the forest.
Late at night, because they were afraid of encountering wild beasts on the road, Chu Zheng and Chu Qingqing found the village where they had killed wolves and rested.
At night, it rained again.
The patter of rain hit the eaves, causing a thin crashing sound.
"It has been raining quite frequently in recent days. We can farm again next year. Life will be better in the future." Chu Qingqing stuffed the wood into the bonfire, looked at the rain curtain outside, and said softly.
Chu Zheng remained silent.
The current disaster is mainly due to the previous drought. Now there have been some timely rains. Next spring, if there are no accidents, we can indeed grow food.
However, he also knew very well that many people now no longer have enough food to survive this winter.
After all, if farmers had food, they would not revolt or flee.
Now it seems that the only way to survive this crisis is to wait for the imperial court to issue grain.
"I hope so." Chu Zheng nodded and put his hand on the bonfire to warm himself.
The weather is getting colder and colder now because of the rain.
At this time, his mind moved, and a piece of information appeared in his mind.
[After sensing the player, you will enter the forbidden world, meet the challenge, and enter the remaining time: 59 days, 22 hours, 53 minutes and 34 seconds.]
[Target survival time: six hours.]
[After entering the forbidden world, time in the original world is relatively static.]
[After completing the mission, you will receive a reward: Advanced Martial Arts Genu.]
[Advanced martial arts training root bone: one-of-a-kind martial arts talent, which is of great help in practicing martial arts. 】
[Note: Due to continuous entry into the forbidden world within one month, you cannot directly enter the forbidden world within 59 days. 】
"There are still two months left. This time it will be the same as last time." Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
But what surprised him was that this time, he could no longer choose to enter directly, and it took two months.
This may be caused by him entering the forbidden world twice in a short period of time.
This also made Chu Zheng become more cautious.
There are dangers for him in the forbidden world. But at the same time, the forbidden world will also bring him a turning point in turning defeat into victory at some critical moments.
In the two previous crises, he relied on this ability to turn the situation around.
But now that he can't directly enter the forbidden world, it's really not good news for him.
"Huh..." Chu Zheng sighed softly.
But at this moment, he was slightly stunned.
He suddenly found that when he exhaled, white air was produced in the air.
And this also means that the temperature is very low.
"How many people are going to die this year?" Chu Zheng looked out the window.
It's such a cold weather and the refugees have no food. I don't know how many of them can survive.
In the middle of the night, there were constant rustling sounds outside, and there were also some conversations.
When Chu Zheng came here, some scattered refugees also fled here.
This voice came from those refugees.
"Master, now that the rain has fallen, how about we settle down here?" Chu Zheng heard a woman's voice coming from the house next to her.
"No, it won't take long before the bandit army comes and kills us. Even if we can grow something now, we won't be able to save it for long." A man sighed.
Then there was the sound of a child crying again.
"Daddy, I'm hungry."
Chu was listening and silently adding fuel to the campfire.
In today's era, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive. And he can't help others.
"Zheng'er, how about we get some dried meat for them?" Chu Qingqing also heard the voice next to her, and felt compassion in her heart.
Chu Zheng shook his head, "Sister, you can't give anything to me. If you give one, there will be a second one. Our little dried meat cannot be given to so many people. We may even get angry because of this dried meat."
In his previous life, due to the development of the Internet, he had seen a lot of ugly things, so he didn't mind inferring the worst malice on other people.
Seeing Chu Zheng say this, Chu Qingqing stopped talking.
She would rather someone else die than her own brother being in danger.
Unknowingly, she is kind-hearted, but sometimes her heart is unusually hard.
"Creak..." At this moment, there was a sound from the door of Chu Zheng's house.
Chu Zheng turned his head and saw an eye between the cracks in the door, staring at them closely.
"Get out!" Chu Zheng glared, scolded, and stabbed the iron piece in his hand toward the gap in the door.
The peeping person was also extremely vigilant. When he saw Chu Zheng having an attack, he immediately took a few steps back and fled into the distance, disappearing into the rainy night not long after.
Chu Zheng saw that the other party was running away quickly, but he had no intention of chasing him.
It's too dark outside now to chase, and accidents can easily happen.
People in the surrounding houses also noticed the movement and immediately stopped talking, and the night became quiet.
Chu Zheng exhaled.
He suddenly paused, looked at Chu Qingqing's more beautiful face, and sighed in his heart.
At this time and place, it has become a sin for a person to be beautiful.
"Sister, you have to cover your face from now on." Chu Zheng said to Chu Qingqing.
Chu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then she seemed to think of something and nodded, "Okay, Zheng'er, come and help me."
She is not a hypocritical person, so naturally she doesn't care about this.
Moreover, now is not the time to be pretentious.
Then, Chu Zheng rubbed the putty on Chu Qingqing's face, neck, and hands, and made Chu Qingqing's hair into a men's style.
Not long after, a dirty boy appeared in front of Chu Zheng.
"Help! Help!" At this moment, a cry came from outside.
"Someone come and save my wife, she is about to give birth."
"Come and save her!"
"You can't just ignore death!!!"
"..."
When Chu Zheng heard the sound, he frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the window, and looked out through the gap in the window. He saw a man hugging a potbellied woman in the rain, shouting heartbreakingly.
