Li Yi knew that her mother also had a wooden whistle. She said it was given by her scumbag father. There was no news about that scumbag, so this wooden whistle was left behind.
Li Zhuyun always wore it. When she was a child, Li Yi looked at the whistle because it was small and fun, and even asked her mother for it. After she found out that it was a gift from her scumbag father, she immediately lost interest.
Because the wooden whistle brought back bad memories, Li Yi's mood, which had improved after knowing that there were cultivators in this world, became slightly depressed.
She was about to go to the captain without interest and suggest that she would look for medicine while the convoy was resting. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the whistle worn around the neck of the Tianhai Temple disciple.
It looks familiar.
Li Yi looked over subconsciously. Although she couldn't see clearly because of the distance, it was true that the shape of the whistles worn by the Tianhai Temple disciples was exactly the same as her mother's.
But didn't her mother say that the whistle was unique and was carved by that scumbag father himself
She had doubts in her heart, so she turned around and got in the car. As soon as she got in the car, she saw Li Zhuyun changing the child's diaper with a flushed face.
Li Zhuyun has been having a high fever, and he can't find medicine now. High fever can burn people to death. Li Yi is extremely anxious, but in this situation, it is difficult to find food, let alone medicine that can save a person's life. .
Compared to his daughter, Li Zhuyun's mentality was better, and he was even vaguely relieved.
When she was seventeen, she was not such a weak and low-esteem person. She was good-looking, had good academic performance, was an only child, was popular, and was liked by teachers. How could she have low self-esteem when she grew up in such an environment.
It's just that since she became a single mother, her parents passed away and she dropped out of school. She had no education or skills and could only work in a factory. She had no relatives and could only take her daughter with her wherever she went.
Li Zhuyun knows better than anyone how difficult it is for a person to take care of children, do housework, and have a job. She is a single mother at a young age, and her neighbors and colleagues naturally talk about it.
After knowing the inside story, it turned into "she is the xxx whose man ran away to take care of the child alone."
From a confident and gentle student to a single mother with low self-esteem and exhaustion, Li Zhuyun has experienced too much.
"Then she doesn't think about finding another one? The child is not as pitiful as the father, and he will be laughed at in school."
"What are you looking for? What if the man you find later is not good for the child?"
"You can't be alone all the time, you have to have a companion. She is still a daughter in her family. She will get married when she grows up. The mother and daughter depend on each other. She has no wife to take care of her. In the future, she will not only count on her daughter and son-in-law, but also her daughter-in-law. Without a younger brother or sister to help me, I will become a drag when I get older."
Although it was only twenty years ago, people's minds at that time were far less open than they are now. The criticism suffered by single mothers and the speculation about their mother and daughter's future almost overwhelmed Li Zhuyun, who was only nineteen years old at the time. .
The fear of becoming a burden to his daughter has almost become Li Zhuyun's heartache.
Later, the end of the world came, and what she feared most came to pass.
After the apocalypse, money is of no use and everyone has to escape to the limit. As a mother who is not strong enough to run fast, she has indeed become a burden to her daughter.
Especially when the daughter has to take care of her grandson, this is no better than before the apocalypse. Even if she is divorced and the woman cannot raise the child by herself, she can still spend money to hire a nanny to take care of her. After the apocalypse, dangers are everywhere, and there may be zombies anytime and anywhere. pop up.
In addition, in the past, there were laws to support the border line, but now we can only rely on consciousness.
If Li Zhuyun was in good health, she would definitely strive for survival and use all her time and energy to take care of her daughter and granddaughter. But she is not in good health. She can't run even two steps and can't hold her child after five minutes. How can she survive before the end of the world? She helps take care of her granddaughter, but in the apocalypse where danger needs to be prevented at any time, she is a useless person.
It is impossible for Li Yi to fight zombies and take care of her children like Li Zhuyun did when he was young. At this time, she had a breakup with her child's father, which was a huge blow to Li Zhuyun.
Unlike Li Yi, who had access to a lot of outside information, Wang Hao could tell as soon as he turned his face that this guy was playing tricks on her.
What Li Zhuyun saw was that before the end of the world, Wang Hao was kind to Li Yi and her children, and she was also kind to her. However, after the end of the world, because of her drag (Wang Hao had been complaining about his mother-in-law while Li Yi was away), Wang Hao also treated his daughter badly. Opinions arose.
In addition, Wang Hao's previous words touched her sore spot.
Yes, Li Yi has not had a father since she was a child. Because she was laughed at in school for not having a father, she has always insisted that Ji Changze will come back.
But in fact, she was just deceiving herself.
Her choice resulted in her daughter being laughed at for not having a father when she was a child. When she grew up, she was rejected because there was no man in the family, and she was also a drag.
Li Zhuyun's mind was filled with drowsy thoughts, and the desire for survival in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Might as well just leave.
Without her as a drag, even if Wang Hao really doesn't come back, at least his daughter won't have to take care of two people by herself.
"Mom, show me your whistle."
Li Yi got on the bus at this time. She didn't notice the look of defeat on her mother's face and sat directly next to her mother.
Li Zhuyun quickly blinked to hide the tears in his eyes, took off the whistle from his neck and handed it over: "What's wrong? Are you going to attract zombies again?"
Zombies are also very sensitive to sounds. If there is no fresh flesh and blood, they will usually follow them after hearing the sound. After joining a convoy, if they encounter a lot of zombies, the convoy will usually choose to use the sound to distract them first, and wait until they are bigger. There are fewer zombies in the army, so drive over again.
Before, she used her mobile phone. When her phone ran out of battery, Li Yi thought of her mother's whistle.
Although the whistle is made of wood, it has a very loud sound. Li Yi usually climbs to a high place suitable for air retreat and blows the whistle, waiting for the zombies to gather at the bottom, and then she quickly leaves from the air.
"No, I just want to see it."
Li Yi held the whistle in her hand and studied it. She had used this whistle many times, but every time before, she only used it as a tool whistle and never looked at it seriously.
Yes, the shape of this whistle is the same as the whistles of those Taoist priests outside.
The top is a pearl-sized cylinder with water ripples engraved in the middle, five in total, and the bottom is slightly pointed, which is very different from an ordinary whistle.
Although she was far away just now, at least in terms of appearance, the whistles worn around the necks of those Tianhai Temple disciples were exactly the same as the one in her hand.
"Mom, was this really made by that man himself?"
Li Zhuyun didn't know why his daughter asked this so politely, but he still nodded and replied: "I watched him make it with my own eyes. He designed this style himself."
"Is it possible that he lied to you? In fact, he just saw other whistles made like that, and then pretended that he designed it himself."
Li Zhuyun shook his head and thought it was impossible: "At that time, a whistle was just a whistle. There were not so many tricks as now. He should have made it himself."
"Why do you ask? What happened to the whistle?"
Li Yi squeezed the whistle in her hand and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just wanted to take a look. Mom, please put it back on. It's windy outside. Don't get out of the car these days. Wait until you recover before going out."
Li Zhuyun did not doubt that he was there and nodded in agreement.
Li Yi sat in the car and thought about it for a while. Then he opened the door and got out of the car. After hesitating for a while, he headed towards the disciples of Tianhai Temple.
The young Taoist priests have already begun to practice swordsmanship. They have no choice but to follow the tasks assigned by their great uncle every day, even if they go down the mountain to practice.
This is not Tianhai Temple, and there are no wooden figures used for practice. Yuangan asked them to practice with each other in pairs.
These are just the daily practices of Tianhai Temple. Under the influence of Ji Changze, these little Taoist priests who have not grown up and have reached the end of the world have been successfully indoctrinated into the Xianxia Theater. For them, practicing swords is equivalent to the homework of students before the end of the world. Just as boring and boring.
So, when he was practicing his sword hard, there were a bunch of people around him looking at him with fiery eyes, which made them very puzzled.
Unable to understand, the disciples who were trained by Ji Changze to have the skill of not changing their color even if the mountain collapsed in front of them made these disciples pretend not to see anything and do their homework honestly.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is very different.
Taoist priests dressed in spotless robes came and went with wooden swords. They jumped one meter high. The swords were drawn so fast that there were afterimages. Sometimes, a move was dodged and hit the ground, and the ground was covered with dirt. To be cracked.
This is not practicing sword moves, this is simply acting in a TV series.
At this time, no one dared to come up to disturb them. They only dared to carefully form a circle and watch as closely as possible. There were more and more people, and almost the entire motorcade was here. Li Zhuyun blended in without being conspicuous.
It's just that others are watching the sword practice, but she is watching the whistle.
Because these disciples were moving up and down when fighting, and because their movements were much faster than ordinary people, Li Yi couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time. At most, he could only see the afterimage of a whistle.
She is so focused, in the eyes of others, it is natural that she is very interested in these immortal disciples.
It’s normal, who here is not interested.
The captain was also watching, and when he saw that Li Yi was on the opposite side, he simply walked around and patted Li Yi on the shoulder: "What, you also want to become an immortal?"
Li Yizheng was watching intently when he was suddenly startled by a tap on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was the captain and then relaxed and smiled: "Yeah, who wouldn't want to, but they shouldn't be able to teach others, right?"
"I think 80% of them won't. You've heard it before. They have rules. They can't have much contact with the people at the foot of the mountain. They can't even touch them. We can only walk together because we are traveling the same way. When they find the third base, they will definitely We’re going to separate.”
Li Yi nodded absently: "Captain, can I go and ask them something later?"
Surprise appeared in the captain's eyes. He admired Li Yi very much. He had roughly figured out Li Yi's temperament during this trip. According to Li Yi's previous behavior, no matter how envious she was, after knowing that he didn't want to have contact with others, , she should not go any further.
He asked curiously: "What are you going to ask?"
Li Yi: "Aren't they from Sword Flying? You should have seen a lot of pharmacies along the way. I would like to ask them if they know which pharmacies nearby have not been evacuated. My mother and my daughter are both sick. Now I need medicine right now, and I don’t want to let it go if I get the chance.”
The captain suddenly realized.
By the way, he almost forgot that both Li Yi's mother and daughter needed medicine, and it was normal for her to seek medical treatment in a hurry.
"How about I take you there? After all, I am also the leader. They are willing to talk to me anyway."
Li Yi's words were not all a reason to get close to the disciples of Tianhai Temple. She got out of the car just because she wanted to shamelessly ask them about the pharmacy, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got off the car, she found the whistles they were wearing around their necks.
When she heard the captain offered to help, her eyes were filled with gratitude and she quickly thanked him: "Thank you, sorry for bothering you."
"Why are you so polite? You are so good at fighting. I don't know how much you have helped us along the way."
The captain also sighed, glanced at Wang Hao's family who were staring at the little Taoist priests, and asked Li Yi in a low voice: "You and your husband... had a fight? I'm going to tell you something, please listen."
He considered it a bit, after all, speaking ill of her husband to Li Yi behind her back seemed as if he was sowing discord; "Your husband just found me and said that he hoped I would drive out those who can't contribute in the team. They all asked me to come forward to drive away the old, weak, sick and disabled, but I just scolded them back.
To be honest, if it weren't for your sake, I would be the first to drive away their family, and also drive out the old, weak, sick and disabled. The old, weak, sick and disabled are still helping with cooking and washing clothes. They have done a good job in logistics. , your husband and the others have been in the team for so long and have not made any contribution at all. They are all dependent on you for support. I really, if it were not for you, would have thrown him off the bus. "
Li Yi's face turned frosty after hearing this.
The captain might have thought that Wang Hao was only targeting the old, weak, sick and disabled in the team, but how could she not know this clearly? Wang Hao clearly wanted the team to get rid of her mother, who was too weak to help.
I really underestimated how disgusting this man was.
Wang Hao is unkind, so Li Yi will naturally not be merciful.
She said directly: "I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. He wanted me to abandon my mother before, but I didn't want to. We are both completely broken. Their family has nothing to do with me anymore. Just follow the instructions Just follow the rules and don’t worry about me.”
The captain was stunned at first, then happy, and then he was afraid that Li Yi was just talking, so he quickly confirmed: "Are you really not related to them anymore? Don't let me drive them away and you look for them again."
Li Yi nodded with certainty: "Yes, you really don't have to tolerate them because of me."
The captain felt light all over and went crazy with joy.
As the saying goes, the rivers and lakes are where the people are, and there will always be a few scum in the rivers and lakes. Wang Hao and his parents are scum to the captain.
For such an old man, he just idles around in the convoy every day, doesn't fight zombies, doesn't do logistics, and relies on Li Yi alone to support him. The two old people are even more outrageous. They may think that the way people get along with each other after the apocalypse is It will become like the ancient times, where a bird with roots is nothing but a fool.
Wandering around in the motorcade every day, he looks like he wants to choose a concubine for his son, and keeps saying that if a single girl doesn't find a man, she will be bullied to death in this world.
This little girl has killed more than a hundred zombies in the past few months. Does she need a soft-boiled man like Wang Hao who relies on his wife to support him
Li Yi leaves early and comes back late, and it's hard to talk about it. Is it possible that you should tell Li Yi that your parents-in-law were looking for a concubine for your useless husband and he almost got beaten to death
Although the captain himself is a man, he does not have such crazy thoughts. He feels that as long as he is a man, even if he has no ability, he is better than a capable girl.
Before, they were just reprimanding for the sake of Li Yi, but now that they have made Li Yi angry, they can't stand it anymore.
He arrived in front of Wang Hao with high spirits.
"You, come with me."
Wang Hao was so shocked that he refused to force the captain to ignore them. He jumped back after giving the eviction order. The disciples of Tianhaiguan here finally stopped after practicing their swordsmanship. The captain took the opportunity to lead Li Yi forward.
"Medicine? The pharmacy didn't pay attention, but we collected a lot of medicine along the way. Which kind do you need? If we have it, we can give you a few pills."
When Gengan heard that the sick person had a child, he felt sympathy. They also collected a lot of medicine along the way, including medicine for the child. After all, there was a baby girl and Yuanqing on the mountain.
"Thank you, thank you. I have some bread here. It must be valuable with myrrh, but this is all I have. Don't worry, I will go out to look for supplies every day. I will try my best to find something of the same value and return it to you."
Li Yi didn't expect this unexpected surprise. She relaxed, her eyes were a little red, and she thanked him excitedly.
"No, it's just a piece of cake."
Yuan An took a step back cautiously, fearing that Li Yi would bump into him, and he didn't want to copy the book.
Li Yi noticed this, and then realized that she was a little embarrassed, and quickly took two steps back: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't have contact with others, I'm sorry."
Yuan An shook his head: "It's okay, it's just inconvenient to get involved with the people at the foot of the mountain. It's nothing to accidentally touch him once or twice."
Li Yi was about to continue thanking her when her eyes suddenly noticed the wooden whistle worn around Yuan An's neck, and then she remembered that she had a purpose for coming here.
After a moment of hesitation, he cautiously asked, "Taoist Priest, the whistles you are wearing look very unique. Did you buy them together?"
"This?" Yuan An subconsciously picked up the whistle and touched it: "I didn't buy it. This is a disciple's magic weapon of Tianhai Temple. Every disciple has it."
Disciple's magic weapon...
Li Yi was stunned.
She quickly asked: "Is this style of whistle only available in Tianhaiguan? I have seen one that looks similar..."
Yuan An was very sure that this whistle was unique to Tianhai Guan. When the whistle was first made and given to them, his great uncle pointed at the whistle and told them how unique it was for a long time. He could even memorize it.
"Even if other whistles look similar, they are different inside. Because our whistle is a magic weapon, five water ripples are added here, which are used to store spiritual power, and there is also this wooden pearl, which is the symbol of Tianhai Temple. .”
Yuan'an concluded with certainty: "Besides, we have never brought a whistle down the mountain before. This is the first time. We should be the only ones with this style."
Li Yi listened with both clarity and confusion.
She asked: "Is it really impossible to encounter the same whistle?"
Yuan An: "How could there be the same..."
etc.
The same whistle.
Uncle Shi once said that his family members had the same whistle. He also said that if they encountered it, he would help take care of it.
Seeing the Taoist leader in front of him suddenly paused in his words as if he suddenly thought of something, the captain's face was blank, but Li Yi secretly tightened his hand.
"Have you seen the same whistle? Where is it? Who is wearing it? Can you tell me?"
Yuan'an realized that Li Yi might have met his uncle's family. The calmness he had just pretended to be was gone, and he turned to eagerness. He asked a lot of questions in one breath.
Seeing him like this, Li Yi also understood.
Yuan'an knew there would be a similar whistle outside.
what is going on.
Why did that scumbag have the whistle of a disciple of Tianhai Temple? Didn’t his mother say that he was an orphan and was her classmate
By the way, that whistle was carved by his own hands.
But the whistles of the disciples of Tianhai Temple are disciples' magic weapons. Since they are all disciples' magic weapons, should they be mass-produced
Li Yi thought a lot at this moment. She kept her temper and did not tell the important information. She only said: "I have seen it, but I want to ask if this whistle belongs to a disciple of Tianhai Temple."
Yuan An didn't know how to answer.
He could only think carefully and said: "That was once the whistle weapon of our great uncle."
Great uncle
It sounds like a very high level.
Li Yi's mind immediately revealed an old man with white hair and white eyebrows. She couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or expected.
He just smiled and said, "Then that whistle probably didn't belong to your great-uncle. Someone watched the whistle being carved with his own eyes."
Yuan An nodded, eh, so it’s not...
Eh? etc?
Their whistles were also carved by my uncle.
"Zombie wave!! It's a zombie wave!! What's going on!!"
Before Yuan An could be stunned by this huge surprise, the people in the motorcade suddenly became noisy, standing on the car and looking into the distance.
As expected, a large number of zombies were gathering towards them. No, there were zombies running towards them from four directions.
"Blood, who spilled the blood here? What's going on?? Damn it, didn't I tell you to hide in the car when killing chickens
The captain was the first to run over. When he saw the blood on the ground at four locations, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
With so much blood, it would be strange if the zombies weren't attracted.
Now that the convoy is surrounded, how can they get out
He was in a state of despair when something suddenly occurred to him. He looked carefully in the crowd and saw that Wang Hao and his family were missing.
"grass!"
This scumbag, he did this bloody achievement.
Damn, if I had known, I would have thrown him out of the car, so why did I need to inform him.
Everyone in the convoy became busy, and the disciples of Tianhai Temple also realized that something was wrong. They quickly stood up and stepped on the sword to fly with it. Yuan An shouted to the chaotic people below:
"We are fighting in the sky, and you are on the ground, trying to find a way out."
Li Yi hurriedly got into the car to get the weapon, and protected the driver from entering the car: "Uncle Liu, I'm killing zombies near the car. Just drive. My mother and my daughter will be left to you."
The driver nodded and got into the car, but was dumbfounded when he got in: "Where is the key? I put it here before."
The drivers of other cars also got out of the car: "Captain, all our keys are missing."
The captain gritted his teeth in hatred: "Wang!! Hao!!!"
But now, no matter how much he wished to kill Wang Hao, it was too late. He could only quickly and loudly give an order: "Everyone get out of the car and walk. Those who can fight will protect the ones who cannot fight in the inner circle, and fight all the way out."
There was a lot of chaos all around, and the zombies moved very quickly. The little Taoist priests stepped on their swords and used sword techniques to kill the zombies at high altitudes. However, they had not been practicing for a long time, and their spiritual power was exhausted after a while, so they could only use one to command and the other to do things.
"Brother! Hit the one in red, he will bite!"
"Senior brother! Blue clothes! Left, left!"
"Hit the ones closest to them first. There is a building in front of them. They will be safe when they get there."
Li Yi tried to look in the direction of her mother while killing zombies. Li Yunzhu hugged her child and hurriedly followed the others. The captain arranged them at the back. She felt a little relieved and continued to kill zombies.
Just a few screams suddenly came from her ears. She subconsciously looked around and saw a scene that made her eyesight split. She didn't know how the zombies actually broke through the crowd and headed straight towards the protected person in the middle. The children and the elderly were arrested, and Li Yunzhu was among them. He could only try his best to hold the children and avoid them.
"mom!!!!"
Li Yi was so anxious that he was entangled by zombies when he wanted to go over there. He could only move in that direction while killing the zombies.
The little Taoist priest who was in charge of the command above was looking around, and suddenly he was stunned: "Brother!! Whistle!!! Whistle!!!"
"What? Wearing less? Is there anyone wearing less?"
"No! It's a whistle! Uncle Master said it was a whistle!!!"
The disciples of Tianhai Temple were all stunned. They looked at the position pointed by the junior brother, and sure enough they saw a very familiar whistle hanging around Li Yunzhu's neck, who was holding his child to escape.
Before they could be happy, they saw a ferocious-looking zombie rushing toward the child in Li Yunzhu's arms. She hurriedly protected the child and hid behind her, but her feet softened and she fell directly to the ground.
Their hearts tightened, and they hurriedly shot sword techniques over there, but there were more and more zombies. Seeing that Li Yunzhu was about to be surrounded by zombies, and his spiritual power was not enough, Yuan An hurriedly shouted over there: "Blow the whistle!! !!!Hurry up and blow the whistle!!!”
Li Yi did not miss their shouts and watched helplessly as her mother was surrounded by zombies. Even though she knew that there was a slim chance that the whistle was the whistle of Tianhai Guanshi's uncle, she still could not let go of this last glimmer of hope. It was heartbreaking. He yelled over there: "Mom!!! Blow the whistle!!!"
A crisp whistle sounded, and at this moment, everything around seemed to be quiet.
--boom! ! ! !
Countless zombies were suddenly bounced away and fell to the ground with a heavy sound, revealing Li Yunzhu holding a child in one hand and blowing a whistle with his eyes closed.
And on her body, there is a huge protective shield containing spiritual power that is constantly flowing and ripples.
