"anyone there?"
Jiang Liu is a reasonable person, so he does not plan to use violence to take back his house.
"You are."
Soon, someone came out of the house.
The visitor is a young man in his early twenties. He is accompanied by a black Chinese pastoral dog. It can be seen that the owner loves this pet very much. The dog's fur is smooth and smooth, and its body is very strong and strong. Jiang Liu, this stranger, the black dog's demeanor immediately became vigilant and guarded. With sharp teeth, as long as the owner gave an order, he could tear apart Jiang Liu's flesh at any time.
is a good dog!
Jiang Liu doesn't really like those pet dogs that are coquettish and obedient. He just likes this kind of native dog. It is easy to support and loyal. These beautiful qualities are exactly the same as his.
"Excuse me?"
Seeing the stranger in front of him staring at his big black, Tang Ao was also a little proud. His big black is really powerful, and it is not surprising that the other party would like it.
If it weren't for the mutation of Da Hei in the last life, not only did he grow ten times larger in size, but also stimulated the ability of the thunder system, and their family would not be able to survive for so many years in the apocalypse.
It's a pity that the power of just a mutant animal is still too weak. Finally, in a zombie siege, Dahei sacrificed to protect them, and their father and son did not activate their abilities. In the apocalypse where zombies and mutant animals are rampant. I can't live for a few days, and I have received a lunch box one after another.
God still had mercy on him, and when he woke up again, he found that he had come to five months before the end of the day, and he had enough time to deal with the apocalypse that might come later.
The apocalypse Tang Ao experienced was not very similar to the apocalypse experienced by Chi Ruojin. There were also zombies in the apocalypse he experienced, but mutant animals also posed the same threat as zombies.
Like humans, these animals will be infected by zombie viruses, and at the same time have a chance to stimulate abilities, and humans have to fight not only zombie animals infected by zombie viruses, but also those animals that are hostile to humans because they have been hurt by humans, or Wild is hard to tame, and there are wild mutant animals of humans in the recipe.
Because the Tang Ao family was protected by the loyal mutant dog Da Hei, they did not suffer much when the apocalypse came. After Da Hei died, they suffered a little crime, but they had not fully experienced the cruelty of the end. Because of starvation or being killed by zombies, it has nothing to do with the darkness of human nature.
Therefore, Tang Ao's family still has humanity and morality in their hearts. In other words, they are still a little naive. This is not something that people who have experienced the end of the world will have.
When he was just reborn, Tang Ao once published an article on the Internet about the imminent doomsday. He was one of the first people to be reborn, and he was also the first to publish doomsday warnings on the Internet. Some people published articles, and it was at that time that Tang Ao felt the strangeness of this world.
Fortunately, Tang Ao is a little smart. He published this article with an anonymous phone card bought from a street vendor. The network is a public WiFi in a shopping mall thousands of miles away from home. The calling card and mobile phone flushed down the toilet, then disguised themselves, and took a long detour to avoid them for two or three days before returning home.
Because he was cautious enough, no one found him.
Anyway, he's done what he can, and it's up to others who see the post to believe it or not.
As for why Tang Ao brought his whole family to Hou'an Village, he had to talk about the dog gods enshrined in Hou'an Village.
It is rumored that a few hundred years ago, Hou'an Village was not a huge village. At that time, there were only a few families living here and they lived by hunting. One of the hunters raised three hunting dogs. There was a year of famine. The young and middle-aged people of the family went into the deep mountains, wanting to hit the prey they ordered earlier, and exchange the skin and flesh of the prey for food.
Unexpectedly, the bear-blind man in the deep mountains has also come out of the deeper forest from famine, and the machete of the prey is no match for the bear-blind man. At that time, one of the hunting dogs raised by the hunter suddenly burst into force and bit it violently. Blind Bear's throat was also blinded with sharp claws. The black bear struggled desperately, but failed to throw the hound away, and finally bleeded to death.
And the hound also closed his eyes because of the multiple bear claws slapped on his body.
How could an ordinary hound bite a dead bear and blind man? According to rumors, maybe the hound was possessed by the dog god, and it was the dog god who saved the men.
The hunter buried his pet dog with tears, and then followed the young and middle-aged people to sell the blind bear in exchange for enough food to survive the famine.
Since then, these people have worshipped the dog god, and they also used the money from selling the blind bear to make a clay statue of the hound who rescued them, and worshipped them from generation to generation.
This rule has been passed down to the present. People in Hou'an Village do not eat dog meat. When they see stray dogs, they will not drive them away. On the contrary, they will take out the leftovers from the house to feed those stray dogs. Not only that, but almost every household in Hou'an Village has dogs. , and every family loves their own dog.
They feel that treating dogs kindly can get the protection of the dog god, and in the disaster year, the dog god will protect them like the hound back then.
And at the end of the world, they did get a blessing.
Those pet dogs or local dogs raised by the people of Hou'an Village, as well as stray dogs and a few stray cats who have been favored by the people of Hou'an Village, have become the protectors of Hou'an Village after mutating. Dozens of mutated cats and dogs will not only hunt and feed the village. Humans, mutant animals and zombies that help resist foreign aggression.
At least when Tang Ao died, the people of Hou'an Village lived well, and Hou'an Village became a pure land in the apocalypse.
When Tang Ao first heard the legend of Hou'an Village, he thought about taking Da Hei and his family to go there, but the journey was far away, and he heard that Hou'an Village was extremely xenophobic and did not welcome anyone from outside the village, so Tang Ao put out this thought.
But now it is different. Tang Ao has been reborn. The dogs and cats in Hou'an Village have not mutated. Hou'an Village is not an existence that claims to be the last piece of pure land in the post-apocalyptic era. At this time, money is far more important than anything, so Tang Ao persuaded his parents to rent a yard in Hou'an Village, reinforce the yard, and then hoard supplies to prepare for the end of the world.
In fact, according to Tang Ao's idea, he planned to directly buy the house he was renting, but unfortunately the owner of the house could not be contacted.
He also inquired about it. The owner of the house has remarried with his mother for five years, and he will not come back if there is no accident. At least the end of the day is approaching. It is impossible for him to come back during this time. Not sure, so much as renting a house, in fact, this house already belongs to him.
Tang Ao signed a rental contract with the village chief and gave him five years of rent in one go. After the end of the world, Da Hei will also mutate. In order to get more help, the people in the village will not drive him away if he wants to.
I have to say that Tang Ao's abacus was very good, but he never imagined that the owner of the house would really come back at this time.
"I am the owner of this small courtyard. I heard that the house was rented out by the village chief."
Jiang Liu pointed to the small courtyard behind Tang Ao.
Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Tang Ao snorted in his heart.
Jiang Liu naturally had no reason to lie to him, and when he inquired before, the man also said that the real owner of the house was only twelve years old when he left home, and the appearance of the man in front of him at seventeen or eighteen years old matched the rumors.
"I have already given the rent to the village chief."
Tang Ao spoke softly.
"I don't want rent, I want this house."
Jiang Liu shook his head: "Actually, I don't know about the house being rented out at all. You can ask the village chief to get the rent back. As for the money for the renovation of the yard, can I not give you the money? After all, I'm back now. , This house really needs to be repaired before it can live in."
"I can increase the rent. In this way, the contract I signed with the village chief is 300 yuan a month. I can add a little more. How about 600 yuan?"
Tang Ao finally chose such a suitable courtyard, and spent a lot of effort to rebuild this dilapidated courtyard. As soon as Jiang Liu came back, he let him give it up. Tang Ao would definitely not be willing.
"This is the house that my dad left to me. This eldest brother, you should know that the rental contract you signed with the village chief has no legal effect at all."
The house is the original one, and the village chief rented out the house without his permission. How could there be such a reason.
"Xiao Ao, who is here?"
Because the son did not come back after going out for so long, the second elder of the Tang family also came out.
"It's the owner of the house. He wants to take the house back."
Tang Ao turned around and said.
"what!"
Tang Zhanhui and Yu Xiaofen walked over quickly, and when they saw Jiang Liu, who was about the same age as a high school student, they were speechless.
"How about 800 yuan a month, you can rent a small single room in the city at this price."
Tang Ao's money is almost consumed by large items such as solar generators, diesel generators, etc. The money he has on hand has to buy salt bottles and other materials. The monthly rent of 800 is his bottom line.
"I'm sorry, I plan to go back to the village to live, and I don't plan to go outside."
Jiang Liu shook his head, 800 yuan was not attractive to him.
"You're still a student, why do you want to go back to the village?"
Tang Ao suddenly had a thought, whether the person in front of him would have the same adventure as him, which could also explain why a person who had disappeared for five years suddenly came back and was unwilling to rent this old rural house at a high price.
Because the other party is also reborn, the other party also knows that Hou'an Village will be so powerful in the end times.
This made Tang Ao a little vigilant. If Jiang Liu was also reborn, maybe he also had something to rely on. If he didn't give up the house, he might be hated by the other party.
And strictly speaking, their rental contract is indeed illegal. Now that the doomsday has not yet come, it is okay for Jiang Liu to drive them out directly, but Jiang Liu did not do that, which shows that this person is not bad and is still reasonable of.
In this way, Tang Ao was a little embarrassed. Did he really want to let this house that was arranged so hard
"Hey, Jiang Liu, you little brat, it's been five years, and you're finally back!"
When the stalemate was on, the village chief Li Dong got the news.
"You were only that big when you and your mother left. I didn't expect that five years later, you will be taller than me."
As soon as he came over, Li Dong patted Jiang Liu on the shoulder affectionately, and gestured at Jiang Liu's stature, "Your mother is really, she hasn't brought you back all these years, your father loves you the most, Over the years, we used to talk to him about you when we helped your father sweep the grave, and now it's alright, you're back, then go sit in front of your father's grave and make him happy."
This Li Dong is quite interesting. When I came up, I didn't talk about the house, but reminded Jiang Liu that he had not returned home for the past five years. The tomb of his father Jiang Qu was helped by the villagers. This kindness was built. Does Jiang Liu still care about the rent
"By the way, what about your mother, why didn't you see her?"
Li Dong had already heard about Jiang Liu's mother's death, but at the moment he was pretending to be confused, looking around, as if he was looking for someone.
"My mother was seriously ill and passed away."
Jiang Liu lowered his eyes, a look of grief over the loss of a loved one.
"Hey! A good person, why is he sick?"
Li Dong followed suit, "Your mother and son haven't come back all these years, and I can't contact you, but the house is empty and it's easy to break down, so I'll take the lead and rent it out, and I'll keep the rent for you, just wait. Come back and give it to you, by the way, this family's surname is Tang, and they rented your house."
Finally got to the point, this village chief is really slippery, he has taken up all the high ground of love, righteousness and morality, even if he rents out the Jiang family's house privately, Jiang Liu can still turn against him.
This abacus is very good. If Jiang Liu never comes back, the rent will belong to Li Dong. If the Jiang family comes back, he will hand over the rent, and there will be no loss. On the contrary, he will still have a good name.
Jiang Liu didn't dislike such a shrewd village chief. The man in front of him was a bit selfish, but not bad to the core. Having such a village chief in Hou'an Village might be a good thing in the last days.
"Thank you Uncle Li for keeping us in mind all these years, but I don't plan to rent this house out, my mother is dead, and I will go back to Hou'an Village to live in the future, I have to live in this house, but I will not let Uncle Li Embarrassed, how much money the Tang family spent to repair my house, I will return the money to them, as for the rent paid by the Tang family, I will also pay."
Seeing that Li Dong seemed to want to speak, Jiang Liu hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Li, please don't be polite to me, I have been unfilial as a son all these years, and I can't go back to my hometown to visit my father's grave. Thanks to Uncle Li, I still remember my father. I should also mention some drinks and thank you, but I came in a hurry, and I have to arrange a lot of things in the house, and the etiquette may not be well done, so don’t blame me for Uncle Li.”
Jiang Liu's meaning is very clear, he doesn't want the part of the rent given by the Tang family, and treats it as a thank you fee to Li Dong.
And just now, he pulled Uncle Li into the distance between the two. Jiang Liu planned to live in the village for a long time. There was no need to fight with a local snake like Li Dong, which was not good for him.
"That's so funny."
Li Dong narrowed his eyes. The Tang family paid five months' rent in advance, a total of 1,500 yuan, which was not a small sum of money in the countryside, at least enough for Li Dong's wine for a year.
Jiang Qu's affairs are generous and generous, not at all like the demeanor that a child of his age should have. Li Dong felt that Jiang Qu's son was a little capable, and seeing that he was so generous, his mother still left him some money. Such a capable and rich person, he naturally wants to befriend.
"Brother Tang, look at this..."
Li Dong turned his head and pointed at Tang Zhanhui.
"We don't want the village chief to be embarrassed, so, just like this little brother said, we have to trouble the village chief and help us pick another vacant house."
Tang Ao made a decisive decision. No matter what, Jiang Liu was from Hou'an Village. Although his father died, some distant relatives still lived in Hou'an Village, and it was not worth falling out with him.
Besides, it is uncertain whether Jiang Liu is the reborn Tang Ao, so the best way now is to give up the house, and then they will choose another property in Hou'an Village to rent or buy or sell.
With this experience and lessons, Tang Ao is no longer picky about the location of the house, he only wants a house that is sure to have no owner.
A matter that was likely to cause a dispute was settled so easily. Li Dong was very satisfied. He felt that his village chief was indeed very dignified. Both Jiang Liu and the Tang family gave him face. The impression is naturally much better.
"Cheng, I really have a few houses here."
Li Dong did have a few houses in his hands, all of whom moved his family to the city and entrusted him to rent and sell them, but the money couldn't reach him, so he chose to rent out the Jiang family's house, but now Jiang Liu Come back, this cheap naturally can't take it.
Fortunately, he still made 1,500 yuan, not a loss.
The Tang family was very happy and moved out of the Jiang family's house within three days, and Jiang Liu also took advantage of this time to prepare survival supplies.
When the apocalypse comes, his zombie can't use those things, but there are still people who can use them, so he still has to buy some supplies and save them.

"I actually have a portable space, my God, am I the rumored daughter of destiny!"
Chi Ruoyu looked at the half dragon and phoenix jade pendant on her body, and looked at the half pineapple that disappeared in her hand in surprise, and then the next second, the pineapple appeared in her hand again.
This half of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant was given by Chi Ruoyu's little boyfriend, and the materials were extremely poor, just because it symbolized the pure first love of Chi Ruoyu's sixth grade, and was always hung around his neck by Chi Ruoyu.
Just now, she accidentally cut her hand when she cut the pineapple, and the blood stuck to the jade pendant and was absorbed by the jade pendant. Only then did Chi Ruoyu unexpectedly discover that she actually had a large portable space.
Hot pot, skewers, fried chicken, barbecue, duck neck, rabbit head…
Chi Ruoyu took a sip of saliva, it seems that she will not starve to death in this life.
The little girl with the round face quickly grabbed the key and rushed out of the house, preparing for a big purchase.
On the other hand, Chi Ruojin unexpectedly discovered that the ice-type ability of his previous life had been activated early.
At the beginning, Chi Ruojin thought about getting a few modified firearms in the black market. Because of the early activation of the power, Chi Ruojin didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately set off to go home, preparing to reconcile with his sister as soon as possible.
The world is so weird now, she can't be sure when the doomsday will come, only the sooner she reunites with her sister, the more at ease she will be.

"Crack-knock-"
In the middle of the night, Jiang Liu took out the shackles he had prepared for a long time and locked himself on the post at the head of the bed.
Because 001 said that there are too many variables in this world, no one knows when the end of the world will come, so he does not know when he will become a zombie.
When he is awake, he can control himself not to bite or eat people, but if he is asleep, he may not be able to control the instinct of zombies and go out to kill. Jiang Liu's mission when he came to this world was to eliminate zombies. If there were more zombies in his world, it would be his sin.
Of course, even 001 is not sure if it will be like this, but just in case, Jiang Liu will lock himself up when he sleeps every day to prevent himself from running out and hurting others.
"I feel like a werewolf now."
Looking at the locked feet and one of the hands, Jiang Lu sighed, the werewolf always finds a safe place to lock himself up to prevent his transformation on the full moon night.
It's just that the werewolf is luckier than him, the werewolf's transformation is menstruation, and the probability of his transformation is the Nikkei.
"Ow, ooh!"
It seems to be for the occasion, he also called out a few times.
"Ow-Ow-Ow-"
There seemed to be a wolf dog in the distance responding to Jiang Liu's howling. He remembered that someone in the village had raised a husky, and it was estimated that the silly dog was cooperating with him.
"You said that this original body is also quite unkind."
Jiang Liu's only flexible hand held a half-crippled dragon and phoenix jade pendant. He was about to become a zombie, and he also made a wish to protect his little lover.
In fact, the original body is quite pitiful. His father died early, and his mother did not love him. In the five years since Hou'ancun left, the only thing that can be reminiscent of is the cute little girlfriend whom he met in the sixth grade. Thinking about it carefully, what can you understand at that age, it's just that Because childhood sweethearts grew up together, and then in the few years of lack of love after separation, this relationship was sublimated to a true love.
Jiang Liu flipped through the original body's memory. One of his tasks this time was to protect the round-faced, greedy little girl. It seemed that he had to stock up on some supplies, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive.
That little girl was also quite miserable. After years of separation, her beloved turned into a werewolf.
I hope the little girl can accept this fact for the sake of food.
