Chapter 23

The chaotic night passed quickly.Early the next morning, the gangster's car had already left, and the two women didn't stop there either.

The Yang family's car was just a thin-skinned small family car. After discussion, the car was abandoned.The Yang family couple and Shen Lihua took Wang Zhenghua's Volvo, while Yang Shiyan glared at Han Xiuheng and Wei Ping, pulled Rong Jing and Li Lan and got into the dusty Wrangler.Han Xiuheng smiled and did not object, and continued to board the Land Rover with Wei Ping and Professor Chen.

Before Wang Zhenghua left, he took one last look at the car at the gas station and his eldest brother's house. Without saying a word, he started the car and followed Rong Jing's car and left.

A group of people rushed to the outside of a small town closest to W City in the afternoon.Lianhua Town, named after the lotus flowers of various colors every summer, is a relatively famous tourist spot around W City.Although it is the off-season of winter, as the name suggests, this small town is full of ponds and lakes with lotus roots.Due to cultural protection, this small town has always retained its original flavor and strong old-time rural customs.So there are very few roads for cars to walk on.

The new road going around the town was clogged with scrapped vehicles, and the closest road was across Lianhua Town.The people in the two cars discussed for a while, and decided to go closer to the town to see the situation.We have already come here, and it is very troublesome to go back and take a detour, and no one knows whether we will encounter such a situation again.

Rong Jing, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked out the window, her eyes were not focused, she didn't want Yang Shiyan and Li Lan to see the complicated emotions in her eyes.

In this small town, she should meet Song Haoyan, that ruthless man.

The original text said that after Song Haoyan was rescued by her, he became interested in her. He walked with them to observe her, and later fell in love with her involuntarily, and cared for her in every way.But she obviously saved Song Haoyan in her previous life, but this person didn't show any special affection for her, but whenever she was about to give up, Song Haoyan would show a trace of uncontrollable infatuation in front of her again.

She didn't think it was strange at first. Song Haoyan, a man with a paralyzed face and a strong personality, probably doesn't know how to express love at all.But now that she knew about the original text and the female supporting text, she felt that there seemed to be something wrong.It's just that neither of the two articles mentioned Song Haoyan's inner thoughts about feelings. He is the type who just does not talk about it.Rong Jing was always curious about what he was thinking and why he treated her like that.Why didn't he get close to Su Li when she was here, but he got together with Su Li so quickly just after she died.

But now that she was about to meet this person again, Rong Jing suddenly didn't want to know his thoughts at all.

Now she has only one person in her heart and eyes, Han Xiuheng.

"Jingjing, are we going to spend the night in the town ahead today?" Yang Shiyan interrupted Rong Jing's thoughts.

After scanning around with her spiritual sense, Rong Jing suggested, "Let's find a place to rest on the outskirts. There are probably a lot of zombies inside, so it's too unsafe. Try to cross the town tomorrow during the day."

"Okay." Yang Shiyan nodded.

A few kilometers away from Lianhua Town, you can see scattered residential houses on both sides of the road, standing in a patchwork order beside the lotus pond.Every house closed the doors and windows tightly, and there seemed to be no trace of popularity.There is a thin layer of ice on the water surface of the lotus pond, and the lotus stalks on the ice surface can still have a sad artistic conception, but now it only makes people feel bleak.

"Why are there no zombies? Could it be that all the people here have left?" Yang Shiyan stretched his neck and observed each house for a long time, but they were all quiet and there was no movement at all.

"Probably hiding at home."

"Why don't they want to leave?" Yang Shiyan asked puzzled.

"I can't bear to live in a house for many years. Besides, people in rural areas usually store food in their homes. Even if they stay at home for a long time, they won't have to worry about food and drink." Li Lan, who also came from a small town, understands this better. Most of the living conditions in small villages like this on the outskirts of towns are not bad. Although they may not necessarily farm the land, the habit passed down from the elders still makes them prepare some food reserves at home for emergencies.

"But what if there are a large number of zombies? At that time, the doors and windows can't be blocked."

"How many people think this way now? Most of them are expecting the ZF and the army to come forward to solve this matter. Now they can't see the difficulties in the future, so they don't think about changing their living conditions. After all, they don't No one wants to leave home when they have to." Rong Jing said sullenly.Even if they tell them one by one now—there will be zombie waves and mutated zombies in the future, and it is very dangerous to continue hiding in an unguarded home like this—no one will believe their words, and maybe they will think that they have ulterior motives. Beat and scold.

"Let's see if there are any vacant houses. If it doesn't work, we can only get in the sleeping car." That's what she said, but Rong Jing knew that she could find a suitable house not far away.Sure enough, not long after, they saw a few motels, with a billboard for car repair and tire repair hanging outside the gate, and the three-story private house behind was transformed into a simple hotel.

Rong Jing chose one of the buildings that looked relatively new, and asked Yang Shiyan to drive there.The courtyard and room doors of this house were wide open, and as soon as the car approached, a few zombies swayed over.Yang Shiyan took the lead to park the car in the yard.Li Lan, who was relatively quiet along the way, jumped out of the car first, and slashed at the zombie with a watermelon knife. It can be seen that she did beat a lot of zombies along the way yesterday. The emotion of fear and disgust.

After everyone worked together to eliminate the zombies in the yard, Rong Jing and others locked the gate of the yard and walked carefully into the house.This is an ordinary residential house, and there is no movement in the living room. Wang Zhenghua and the three elders stayed in the living room to light up the charcoal basin to keep warm. Yang Shiyan and Li Lan went to check the first floor, while Rong Jing and Han Xiuheng went to the second floor. , Wei Ping hesitated for a moment, and followed Yang Shiyan, he thought this little girl who would explode at the first tease was quite interesting.

There are four doors on both sides of the corridor on the second floor, and there are eight rooms in total.Rong Jing and Han Xiuheng pushed open the door one by one, and even checked the cabinets inside, but found no zombies.Going up to the third floor again, it was also clean, as if no one had lived in it at all during this period of time, it seems that only the zombies in the yard just now remained in this hotel, and the others either escaped or died .

"Jingjing, this store still has a lot of rice, noodles, cooking oil and the like!" Yang Shiyan ran upstairs and said excitedly to Rong Jing.

"Rural houses usually have grain storage, not to mention this is a motel, little girl must have some common sense." Wei Ping, who followed her up, laughed at Yang Shiyan's fuss.

"Who doesn't know!" Yang Shiyan jumped up and stared at Wei Ping, and the two quarreled again.

Rong Jing watched Yang Shiyan's eyebrows crooked with a smile, laughed for a long time, then looked up at Han Xiuheng, "The house is quite clean inside, let's live here today."

The girl's smiling expression was playful, but her temperament was quiet and soft. Han Xiuheng looked at her, as if his heart, which had been erratic for so long, finally settled down, "Okay, listen to you."

I didn't have a good rest yesterday, and today I can finally have a good hot meal and sleep well.Everyone felt a sense of relief.

"This house is on the side of the road, so it's not very safe. How about I keep watch in the first half of the night, and Li Lan stays in the second?" Shen Lihua and Yang's mother went to the kitchen to prepare dinner first. A vigil was arranged.

"I'll keep watch in the middle of the night. Rong Jing, don't watch the night today. Get a good rest. You didn't sleep much yesterday." Han Xiuheng said.

Rong Jing rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Brother, I slept in the car for a long time today. It's okay, I'll keep watch at night. You also drove for a day today, so don't work too hard."

Hearing what Rong Jing said, Han Xiuheng didn't say anything else.In the past two days, everyone was startled and tired, and after eating some hot food hastily, they all chose their own rooms to rest.

Setting up a guard at the door with spiritual power, Rong Jing went to sit cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, her consciousness entered the space.She pretended to be sleeping in the car during the day, but she was actually practicing in the space. Recently, her cultivation has not improved much, and it seems that she has encountered a bottleneck period.She no longer forced herself to do so. Although she didn't have her master to guide her, through the jade slips left in the space, she now knows a little bit about it.Cultivate the truth and cultivate the heart, let nature take its course, if you blindly advance, the Taoist heart will be unstable, it will be difficult to advance again in the future, and it may even destroy the foundation of the Tao.

What's more, she is in the secular world, and she can't break her fate in the secular world to devote herself to cultivation. Perhaps only after all this is over, can there be any change.So she was not in a hurry, and just practiced quietly every day to consolidate her cultivation.In the past few days, due to worrying about Han Xiuheng, she has been a little restless, and she has not made much progress, and now she can finally rest assured.

A batch of crops in the space have matured again. Fortunately, spiritual power can be used to operate in this space. Otherwise, Rong Jing, who has only played farm games, would not be able to take care of them.Organize the recently collected materials into different categories, and put all the things with a shelf life in the storage room.Rong Jing sat down cross-legged at the end of the trestle bridge, ready to start practicing.

But at this moment, Rong Jing noticed someone coming downstairs.The consciousness came out of space, and looking back, it was Han Xiuheng.

"Brother? Why aren't you sleeping?" Rong Jing stared at Han Xiuheng all the way to sit beside her, before asking.

As if he wanted to say something important, Han Xiuheng looked at her intently, his night-like eyes seemed to suck people in.He was already extraordinary, handsome and elegant like a gentleman, such a long time of quiet and focused gaze made Rong Jing's heart beat out of rhythm.

Finally, when Rong Jing felt that she was about to lose control of her heartbeat, Han Xiuheng spoke.
