Apocalypse Survival Guide

I've thought it through very clearly.I didn't expect an attack before, or maybe I should have agreed in the first place. " Zhou Zhan said.

In fact, from the moment they were attacked, Zhou Zhan had already started to regret it.Especially when he learned that Lin Xiaochuan was injured, he was full of regret and fear.If the arrow had deflected further, they would have faced four corpses.

Zhou Zhan even thought that if Lin Xiaochuan died because of his own decision, then he would rather he had never left the tribe, and he would rather have never met Lin Xiaochuan.

Over the years, he has never tried to care about a person's life and death to such an extent, he cares so much that he wishes he could block all misfortunes and dangers for the other person.If only compromising can save Lin Xiaochuan from unnecessary danger, Zhou Zhan would choose to compromise without hesitation.

He didn't want to take the risk, and he couldn't afford it.

Lin Xiaochuan was not surprised by Zhou Zhan's decision, the attack came too suddenly.In fact, even if it wasn't because of him, Lin Xiaochuan believed that Zhou Zhan would not put the people in his tribe in danger.They had already lost three men and could not lose more.

After making the decision, Zhou Zhan felt relieved, "Go to sleep, go back and bury their bodies tomorrow."

"Can I go together?" Lin Xiaochuan asked.

"Yes." Zhou Zhan said: "They don't dare to do anything during the day, and I won't put you in danger by my side."

Early the next morning, Zhou Zhan took Lin Xiaochuan and two other soldiers to Hewan.They found a relatively flat place in the woods and buried the three of them there.

Lin Xiaochuan felt that this year seemed to be very different, and he said goodbye a lot.In the past, people in the village also died, but it has never been like this. People died in front of him, and now he has to bury them with his own hands.

He would not be heartbroken because of the death of the three, but sadness is always inevitable.In addition, he himself escaped a catastrophe, so it is inevitable that there will be an association of this and that in his heart.

There was no ceremony and no address.For years they had been used to silently burying their comrades who died in battle, but this time it was a little different, they died at the hands of humans.The murderer was of the same kind as them, who had never met before, had no qualms about it, and for a reason they knew nothing about, shot and killed the three of them in an instant.

"Tell me what happened last night." Zhou Zhan stood beside the ashes that had not yet completely burned.

Lin Xiaochuan recalled the situation last night and said: "When the first arrow came over, it hit the third brother. At that time, everyone was a little panicked. Before they recovered, two more arrows flew in, and then I Got shot too."

"Are the first three arrows shot out of the forest?" Zhou Zhan asked with the three arrows taken from the corpse in his hand.

"Yes, only the one that shot me came from the other side of the river, so it hit my back." Lin Xiaochuan said.

Zhou Zhan looked at the arrow in his hand and remained silent.

At this time, a soldier said: "The archers in this forest are quite accurate. They are so far away and hit every shot. The one on the other side of the river is closer in comparison, but their shots miss."

Zhou Zhan glared at the soldier when he heard the words. If he didn't miss the shot, wouldn't Lin Xiaochuan become the fourth corpse?The other party glanced at Lin Xiaochuan, realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly apologized.

But after calming down, Zhou Zhan carefully considered the distance between the two sides, and found that this was true.The other side of the river was indeed closer than the forest, but the three arrows shot from the forest were fatal in one hit, but Lin Xiaochuan only injured his shoulder.

On the way back, Zhou Zhan was always preoccupied.Lin Xiaochuan followed him all the time, and the two of them were separated from the other two fighters. Lin Xiaochuan asked in a low voice, "Did you discover anything, but you don't want others to know?"

Zhou Zhan was startled when he heard the words, and then he said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, don't guess."

"You don't want to tell me, because you are afraid that I will tell my dad?" Lin Xiaochuan asked.

"Why do you think so?" Zhou Zhan said.

Lin Xiaochuan said: "The last time I came here, I felt that you didn't like my dad very much, and you seemed to be wary of him everywhere."

Zhou Zhan laughed a little when he heard the words, hesitated for a while, and simply said: "Yes, I am on guard against him... for fear that he will snatch you away."

Zhou Zhan's tone was obviously joking, but Lin Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel stagnant after hearing it, and then subconsciously said: "Grab it? Where did I grab it? I originally..."

I was originally his son, where did he need to snatch it from?

Lin Xiaochuan is not a dull person, maybe he also has such a different kind of emotion in his heart, so he easily thought of Zhou Zhan's words in that direction.But he didn't dare to think too deeply, for fear that he might accidentally become sentimental.

"From me." Zhou Zhan stopped suddenly and said.

Lin Xiaochuan couldn't help but stop, looking at Zhou Zhan with surprise.

What Zhou Zhan said was obvious. Although he didn't finally pierce the window paper, it confirmed Lin Xiaochuan's guess very accurately.Knowing that Zhou Zhan had a feeling that coincided with his own, Lin Xiaochuan was a little happy, but he didn't dare to show it.

This is the first time that Lin Xiaochuan has such fantasies about others, so he cherishes it very much, he doesn't want to destroy the secretive feeling, but he can't help but secretly jump for joy at the little signs that the other party shows .

Zhou Zhan saw that Lin Xiaochuan had nothing to say, so he stopped talking.The two walked towards the gate of the village with unhurried steps in unison.Unexpectedly, shortly after entering the door, he met Fang Jing, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and another soldier Lin Xiaochuan had never seen before.

"Brother Zhan, you're back." Fang Jing greeted Zhou Zhan very friendly, and then looked at Lin Xiaochuan next to Zhou Zhan with a trace of coldness that could not be concealed.

Fang Jing didn't like Lin Xiaochuan from the very beginning, and it was that kind of hostile dislike.Of course, part of the reason was because Zhou Zhan's attitude towards Lin Xiaochuan made him feel uncomfortable, and part of the reason was because he knew that Lin Xiaochuan was stronger than himself.

Later, because he provoked Lin Xiaochuan impulsively, as a result, he lost his ability in Lin Xiaochuan's hands by mistake, which made Fang Jing's dissatisfaction with Lin Xiaochuan directly turned into hatred.Young people's love and hate are very unreasonable, they love when they say love, and hate when they say hate.A cavity of love and hatred depends entirely on one's own will, without a trace of reason at all.

At this time, the soldier beside Fang Jing said: "Zhou Zhan, I have never had a chance to settle accounts with you about Xiao Jing. When I entrusted him to you, he was a good shepherd, but you gave him After I sent him back, he became an ordinary person..."

"Brother, stop talking." Fang Jing tugged at the soldier in embarrassment.

Zhou Zhan smiled and said, "Fang Tang, I should be the one who settles accounts with you. You are an older brother who doesn't know how to restrain your younger brother. Didn't you ask him what he did?" ever?"

"Zhou Zhan!" Fang Tang was a little sullen when he heard the words, and said, "Don't be too arrogant, this place is no longer your world now, you bring that gang of mobs to live under the fence, you'd better be a man with your tail between your legs, otherwise I can think about it at any time." There is no way to tell you where you came from!"

"Brother..." Fang Jing didn't seem to want to cause too much conflict between his brother and Zhou Zhan, so he dragged him away.Before Fang Tang left, he glanced at Lin Xiaochuan, as if he wanted to poke two nails into Lin Xiaochuan's body.

☆, 37

Lin Xiaochuan had always known that Zhou Zhan did not get along well with some people here. According to Xiang Zuo, Zhou Zhan was almost murdered by soldiers from the same tribe.Thinking about it, if the conflict wasn't too deep, Zhou Zhan wouldn't even be reluctant to come back.It can be said that it is heard, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Now seeing Fang Tang's undisguised hostility towards Zhou Zhan, Lin Xiaochuan realized how difficult this contradiction is to reconcile.At the same time, he also realized how contradictory Zhou Zhan's decision was to come back. As long as he came back here, he would have to look up and down with someone like Fang Tang.

Moreover, Lin Xiaochuan and Fang Jing had a deep estrangement. Fang Jing and Fang Tang were brothers, and Lin Xiaochuan and Zhou Zhan...so things seemed to become more complicated.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Xiaochuan felt that he still wanted to ask about this matter. He didn't want to know nothing about Zhou Zhan, he hoped to know as much about him as possible.

"What is the festival between you and them?" Lin Xiaochuan asked.

"It's a bit hard to describe." Zhou Zhan said.

Lin Xiaochuan said: "If we really want to move here, it's better to know these things in advance, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

"There's nothing you can't say." Zhou Zhan said, "There were 23 soldiers here. It turned out that Fang Jing and Fang Tang's uncles were in charge. He was a very decent person, and he handled things very clearly. Later, Uncle Fang had an accident. My son passed away, and before he left, he told Fang Tang to listen to me, but Fang Tang was not reconciled, and even a few soldiers who had made good friends with him gradually began to have quarrels with me."

"What about the others?" Lin Xiaochuan asked.

Zhou Zhan sighed, and said: "Naturally, there are some fighters who have good friends with me, but I don't want to fight with him. We are all brothers who have lived and died together, and it's meaningless to fight. Over time, Fang Tang killed me His retreat was regarded as cowardice, but it got worse and worse."

It is indeed a distressing thing to live under the same roof.Although it didn't take long, Lin Xiaochuan clearly remembered that when his grandfather was alive, the Wang family brothers tried their best to exclude them.

And because of Hu Er's protection of them, Hu Er almost lost his life.In the end, the result of the internal struggle was that the entire tribe was fragmented. If Zhou Zhan and the others hadn't appeared halfway to take over the tribe, they don't know what would happen now.

Zhou Zhan naturally knew the consequences of the matter, so he didn't want to confront Fang Tang and the others head-on.But his step-by-step retreat got him the opponent's pressing step by step.

"Later, the doctor in the tribe passed away. Uncle Mu asked me to take someone to your place to borrow the doctor. It happened that our people met Hu Er and they were attacked at that time, so we rescued Hu Er." Zhou Zhan said.

The experience of Hu Er and Lin Mu is a bit similar. They were partners who fought side by side. Later, Lin Mu and Grandpa Lin were separated, which led to the division of a tribe.Lin Mu and Lin Xiaochuan lost contact since then, and at the same time Hu Er and his daughter were also separated in that split.

The world was difficult and dangerous, and the situation at that time was very dangerous. No one dared to have too much hope.Hu Er once frantically looked for his daughter, but to no avail, and gradually accepted the fact that the other party had passed away.

Unexpectedly, they were reunited again this time by mistake.Daughter Hu Xian'er doesn't recognize her father anymore, but the old soldier who traveled with her recognized her former partner, which saved Hu Eryi's life.In a sense, the unsuccessful conspiracy of the Wang family brothers this time indirectly led to the reunion of the Hu family's father and daughter and the reunion of the Lin family's father and son.

This is true of many things, and it is a blessing in disguise.

"You know what happened next." Zhou Zhan said: "At that time, Uncle Mu just asked me to take care of it for a period of time, and then came back..."

Seeing that he didn't want to continue talking, Lin Xiaochuan asked in his heart: "Is it related to Fang Jing's matter that you didn't want to come back later?"

Zhou Zhan responded, obviously not wanting to continue discussing this topic, so Lin Xiaochuan didn't continue to ask after seeing this.

Regarding their plan to move here, Zhou Zhan discussed with other people in the same company, and everyone agreed to move the people in the village here.

It’s okay if there is no previous attack, no matter where you live, you will start from scratch.But that attack made them realize that, out of sight, lurked an enemy they knew nothing about.

The unknown danger prompted them to look for the safest place, which happened to be here.Whether it is joining here, or relying on it to establish a tribe nearby, it is much safer than being in a lonely river bend.

Even if there is a day when they will face the enemy head-on, the two tribes united will have a better chance of winning than fighting alone, and maybe their alliance can directly deter the enemy, thereby avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

Of course, the most important thing in this matter is to pass Lin Shu and the soldiers here to nod and agree.Lin Muben had this intention, so naturally he would not have any objections, and the soldiers who made friends with Zhou Zhan were also very welcome, but the few people led by Fang Tang firmly opposed it.

"Ah Zhan and the others were originally our people, and Uncle Fang said before leaving that from now on, Azhan will be in charge of the village. Who has the right to stop him when he comes back?" It was a soldier who was on good terms with Zhou Zhan who spoke, His name is Du Peng.

Fang Tang heard the words: "It's okay, Zhou Zhan can come back, I agree with both hands, but I firmly disagree with those people who want to live in the village."

After Fang Tang said that, several soldiers present echoed.

After all, everyone is now at the stage of running around for their livelihood, and they don't have extra energy to help others.Everything in this village is managed by all of them with hard work, and they don't want to take advantage of others.

Besides, if a group of strangers live in, if they are all strong and strong people, you will worry that you will not be able to control them, and you may be occupied by doves and magpies in the future.If they are all powerless people, you have to take care of their food and drink, and take care of their lives, which will cause a lot of trouble and burden for no reason.

In either case, there are hidden dangers.Everyone knows this truth well, so Zhou Zhan and the original people in the stockade want to come back, they have no position to refuse, but irrelevant people should not think so easily.

But everyone knows that Zhou Zhan has gotten together with those people now, and it is impossible to ignore them.

Lin Mu, who had been silent all this time, said: "Fang Tang is right. For no reason, we have no obligation to accept people who are of no benefit to us. Our bricks, tiles, porridge, and meals are all earned by everyone." Yes, there is absolutely no reason to hand over to others."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, but they didn't expect Lin Mu's attitude to be against it?You must know that Lin Mu has always trusted and been close to Zhou Zhan, this is something everyone knows.

"However..." Lin Mu quickly changed the topic and said, "If it is someone who is beneficial to us, then it is another matter."

Fang Tang and the others changed their expressions when they heard the words, knowing that Lin Mu was holding back.

Sure enough, Lin Mu continued: "Although the houses in the stockade have a surplus, they are not enough to accommodate all of them. In my opinion, we can let them build a new stockade next to our stockade, so that it will not affect us. , and at the same time rely on each other and help each other in critical moments.”

"As for before their village is built, we can lend them an empty house in the village and let them pay the corresponding compensation." Lin Mu said.

Du Peng hurriedly echoed the words: "Yes, I heard that they also have many supernatural beings over there, maybe they have some that we don't have, so it can be regarded as complementary."

Several other people echoed repeatedly, and Fang Tang couldn't find any reason to refute for a while.

Lin Mu has always been a supported shepherd in the tribe, and most of the warriors still respect him very much.Even Fang Tang wouldn't make too much face of him, so when Lin Mu talked about it, everyone knew that he shouldn't continue to pester him.

After finalizing the matter, Lin Mu informed Zhou Zhan and others the news on the same day, so that they could make the next step as soon as possible.

"Do you want to take over after everything is settled, or take over first?" Lin Mu asked Zhou Zhan.

Zhou Zhan said: "I don't know if the people who attacked us before will attack the col. I don't think we can delay it for so long. The sooner the better."

"It can't be too fast. At the very least, let's build the wall first, and then build a simple residence. I'm afraid it's not convenient to live here all the time." Zhou Zhan said.

A solid wall can successfully resist external attacks, at least like the previous stabs in the back will not easily hurt people's lives.So they only need to build the fence first, and then fix the temporary shelter, so that they can no longer continue to live under the fence.

It can be seen that Zhou Zhan has no desire/desire to continue living here.The reason for compromising now is just to worry about everyone's safety.

Lin Mu didn't say anything, and seemed very satisfied with Zhou Zhan's arrangement.He looked at Lin Xiaochuan and said, "Then Xiaochuan...does he want to live here?"

"He doesn't live here." Zhou Zhan said a step ahead: "He is my shepherd, so naturally he wants to live with me."

Lin Xiaochuan smiled uncomfortably when he heard the words, but acquiesced to Zhou Zhan's statement, and Lin Mu didn't insist on seeing this.After Lin Mu left, Zhou Zhan stared at Lin Xiaochuan for a while, seeming to have something to say, but finally held back.

☆, 38

After all the dust settled, Zhou Zhan and Lin Xiaochuan took a few people out of the stockade to see the land. They finally chose the place that Lin Mu took Lin Xiaochuan to see when they came last time.

The terrain of that land is relatively flat, with a river in front and mountains not far behind. Once the construction starts, materials can be obtained nearby, whether it is stone or wood, which is very convenient.And the river ahead can guarantee water for everyone, and they don't need to deliberately store water.

At the same time, it is next to the fence on one side of the stockade. If the real construction starts, you only need to build the other three sides. Not only can you save some effort, because the distance can also serve as a mutual warning. Get support fast.

Of course, the premise is that they can get along well with their neighbors in the future, otherwise this is not an advantage but a disadvantage.

Due to time constraints, they started paddling on the same day.In the village, a few experienced people who had participated in the construction of the tribe gave them some very pertinent suggestions, and they planned the land with little effort.

In order to get rid of the situation of relying on others as soon as possible, Zhou Zhan decided to build a row of simple wooden houses on one side of the new village, so that everyone can live in them as soon as possible.When the new house is built later, these wooden houses can be used as storage rooms and the like, which is not a waste.

Of course, their top priority is still to build the wall first, so that it can prevent external attacks, and secondly, it can make the people who live in it more at ease.The fence does not need to be too high, as long as it can play a basic role in blocking the outside world.The main purpose is to block the external line of sight, so as to prevent someone from putting an arrow in the back.

Zhou Zhan decided to leave a gate at the front and back of the stockade, so that stones and wood can be transported from the back during the construction process, and they can be sealed when they are not in use in the future.

When everyone started construction, Lin Xiaochuan discovered that Zhou Zhan's popularity was not bad. Many people from the village next door came to help, which greatly reduced their workload and shortened the initial construction completion time. .

Of course not everyone who came to help was welcomed, at least Lin Xiaochuan did not welcome Fang Jing's arrival.

On the one hand, Fang Jing's hostility towards him was too obvious before, and he tried to abolish his ability but failed, so he just gave him a knife in the end.Of course, the final result was that Fang Jing was sent back by Zhou Zhan. From this point of view, the relationship between the two was almost even.

But Lin Xiaochuan knew that he took the opportunity to snatch Fang Jing's ability, and Fang Jing's ability is still in Lin Xiaochuan's body so far.Perhaps out of sympathy for the weak, Lin Xiaochuan always felt that he was a little sorry for Fang Jing, no matter how he looked at him, he felt pitiful.

Fang Jing didn't know what Lin Xiaochuan was thinking.Although he is not much younger than Lin Xiaochuan, his thinking is that of a child, not as mature as Lin Xiaochuan.Lin Xiaochuan is a complete enemy to him. Ever since he knew that Lin Xiaochuan was here, he has been thinking about how to take revenge on Lin Xiaochuan and make him unhappy.

To say that Fang Jing is naive is naive, but when the time comes to use his ghostly mind, he does not lack at all.After thinking about it, he thought that the only way to deal with Lin Xiaochuan was a mental attack, after all, he had no powers anymore.

So he decided to start with Zhou Zhan, thinking about the resentment he had seen when Zhou Zhan and Lin Xiaochuan were together, he felt that it was time to repay him in the same way.

After Fang Jing came this day, Zhou Zhan still had a lukewarm attitude, which made him very frustrated.After all, he was young and impatient. Fang Jing followed Zhou Zhan and said something, which made Zhou Zhan very impatient, and the two had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Unhappiness is unhappiness, and Fang Jing doesn't care about his own happiness, as long as he can make Lin Xiaochuan unhappy in the end.

"Can you stop pissing me off? If I can't help but slap you, do you think you can take a few slaps from me?" Zhou Zhan said helplessly, obviously he had endured Fang Jing's entanglement to the extreme.

"Brother Zhan, I have no other intention but to help you." Fang Jing said innocently.

"Your thin arms and legs should go home and help your brother, I can't afford you," Zhou Zhan said.

Fang Jing looked a little aggrieved, but the angrier he got, the less he wanted to just leave.When a child loses his temper, there is no logic at all. He doesn't even realize that the more he is angry, the more likely he is helping the enemy.

"Brother Zhan, you were nice to me before, why are you treating me like this now?" Fang Jing said.

"You've never stabbed someone with a knife before, and you're not so annoying," Zhou Zhan said.

Fang Jing thought of stabbing someone with a knife, and felt even more depressed, and said, "If you treat me like this again, won't you be afraid that I will stab someone with a knife again?"

Zhou Zhan laughed a little when he heard the words, and said, "Who do you want to stab? Am I still Lin Xiaochuan?"

Hearing this, Fang Jing glanced at Lin Xiaochuan in the distance.

"You can go try and see if you can stab him." Zhou Zhan said, "But for the sake of calling me brother, let me remind you that if you fail to stab someone and get bullied, you deserve it, but if you If you hurt him, don't blame me."

Fang Jing was overwhelmed by Zhou Zhan's expression, and all the thoughts in his heart suddenly sank.In all fairness, he felt that even if he fought alone, he should not be able to defeat Lin Xiaochuan.

While helping Xu Cheng get wood, Lin Xiaochuan glanced at the two people in the distance.

At this moment, Xu Cheng had already used his wood-type abilities very maturely. Whether it was chopping, chipping, splitting, or nailing, he was very handy.Lin Xiaochuan only needs a little help from the side, and Xu Cheng's speed and efficiency will be directly doubled several times.

"That kid is looking at Boss Zhou!" Xu Cheng said suddenly.He has always been very dull-tempered, and he speaks straight and straight without turning a corner.Now that even he has seen the clues, everyone must be able to see it.

Lin Xiaochuan curled his lips and remained silent.

"I think in the whole village, if you count both men and women, that kid is the prettiest boy. If it were me, I would agree." Xu Cheng said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaochuan stared at Xu Cheng in surprise, Xu Cheng noticed his gaze, smiled embarrassedly, and said: "You are also good-looking, but you are not as good-looking as him, is... …another."

"You said... if you agree, maybe you also like...men?" Lin Xiaochuan asked.

"It's okay." Xu Cheng said with some embarrassment: "Men and women, as long as they can live."

After Xu Cheng finished speaking, he took a sneak look at Lin Xiaochuan.In fact, Xu Cheng had been thinking about Lin Xiaochuan a long time ago.In their original tribe, there were only a few people who were about the same age. Excluding those who really looked down upon, and Xiao Zheng who hadn’t fully grown, among the remaining people, Lin Xiaochuan was absolutely is the best choice.

Xu Cheng didn't have so many miscellaneous thoughts, he thought it was fine if it looked pleasing to the eye, as for the identity, he couldn't figure out the mess, and he didn't want to think about it either.

But Lin Xiaochuan didn't have that kind of thought for him, it was obvious, so Xu Cheng slowly moved his target away from Lin Xiaochuan.Of course, his goal is still hanging in the air, mentioning Fang Jing now is just an objective evaluation, it doesn't mean anything.

If Lin Xiaochuan suddenly expressed something to Xu Cheng at this moment, Xu Cheng could quickly turn his target back to Lin Xiaochuan.Of course, judging from the current situation, it was impossible for Xu Cheng to have this opportunity.

"Then do you think Zhou Zhan and that kid can succeed?" Lin Xiaochuan asked.

Xu Cheng looked at Lin Xiaochuan with a very unbelievable expression when he heard the words, and then said: "Didn't Boss Zhou miss you all the time? If they succeed, what will you do?"

Lin Xiaochuan was a little annoyed when he heard the words, and said, "Who said that? Don't spread rumors, Xu Cheng!"

"Who doesn't know? You go and ask everyone. I guess that kid also knows, so that's why he was so eager to start." Xu Cheng said.

"Don't talk nonsense..." Lin Xiaochuan whispered.

"What nonsense, do you two live in the same room?" Xu Cheng asked.

Lin Xiaochuan nodded silently.

As Xu Cheng said, he looked at Zhou Zhan and Fang Jing in the distance, and his simple and honest face rarely showed a meaningful expression.Lin Xiaochuan followed his gaze and saw that Zhou Zhan was pushing a wooden cart to transport stones, while Fang Jing was helping him push the cart.

"Enough wood, you don't need to help me tomorrow." Xu Cheng said.

"I can't do anything else." Lin Xiaochuan said.

Xu Cheng rarely showed a clever look, and said, "Go and push Boss Zhou, and let that kid help me."

"I'm not going." Lin Xiaochuan said angrily.

He was still thinking about what Xu Cheng said just now, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became.Zhou Zhan is interested in him, even Xu Cheng can see it?So what's going on now?

As long as he saw Fang Jing circling around Zhou Zhan, he would get angry, but he didn't intend to go up to him to make fun of himself.In fact, Lin Xiaochuan also vaguely understood that Zhou Zhan didn't want to see Fang Jing, and seeing Fang Jing's villainous appearance, he was clearly trying to anger him on purpose.

It's just that reason is one thing and emotion is another.I really want to drive Fang Jing away, if only I could pester Zhou Zhan so shamelessly.

"Hey... well, here he is." Xu Cheng poked Lin Xiaochuan's arm.

"Who's here?" Lin Xiaochuan said and turned his head to look.

In the distance, Zhou Zhan was striding towards the direction of the two of them. He was frowning deeply, obviously not in a good mood.At first glance, that posture seems to be coming to fight.

☆, 39

Zhou Zhan walked through most of the construction site aggressively, and stopped in front of Lin Xiaochuan and Xu Cheng with sweat and anger all over his body.It's a pity that these two people looked dumbfounded, and they didn't know what this master was going to do in a rage.

Zhou Zhan, who was so depressed, probably also realized that his silence was useless at all. Judging from the performance of the two people in front of him, he probably didn't have the consciousness of self-criticism at all, so Zhou Zhan decided to speak clearly by himself. .

"I said earlier that the house is almost enough, enough for us to settle temporarily, and we will build a wood and stone structure instead of pure wood." Zhou Zhan said solemnly but somewhat harshly, "You are planning to live in a whole day? Do you circle around these two logs?"

Xu Cheng glanced behind him very aggrieved, and explained: "It's not these two, you see, it's all us..."

"Okay..." Zhou Zhan interrupted him, and said to Lin Xiaochuan, "Come here and help me, you don't need to help him, let him do it himself."

Lin Xiaochuan got up inexplicably and asked Xu Cheng, "Can you do it yourself?"

"Okay, okay!" Xu Cheng said hastily.

Only then did Zhou Zhan turn around and leave. After walking a few steps, he slowed down and waited for Lin Xiaochuan to catch up. The two walked side by side towards the pile of stones that had been chiseled and shaped.Not far away, is the back of Fang Jing dragging away.

Zhou Zhan didn't speak, and leaned over to move the stone weighing dozens of kilograms onto the two-wheeled wooden cart.The wooden cart was not very good at bearing the load, but after a few people's blind thinking, Xu Cheng improved it several times, and finally became much stronger and more stable. It just became a tool for transporting stones, saving labor and speeding up.

The only disadvantage is that it is a bit high, so it will be difficult to put stones up if you don't have enough strength.However, because the wheels are relatively large, it saves effort to push, so the problem of height can only be temporarily put on hold.

For Zhou Zhan, moving rocks is not a problem at all, but Lin Xiaochuan is not so easy.He tried a few times and almost threw a stone on his foot. Seeing this, Zhou Zhan asked him to watch and not let him do anything.

"I said I can't move it, and you can't help me if you ask me to come." Lin Xiaochuan said.

Lin Xiaochuan looked at the others around him, and felt that he should go and help Xu Cheng get wood, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.Although it wasn't his fault that he was weak, he was still a little bit sorry.

"These stones were dropped into the ground to lay the foundation, so they are bulky and large. When we go back to build the wall, they will be made much smaller, otherwise they will be too big and the wall will not be high." Zhou Zhan said.

Lin Xiaochuan didn't know much about these things, but after listening to Zhou Zhanyi, he thought it made sense.After the two carried it a few times, they started to carry the trumpet stones.Finally able to move, Lin Xiaochuan regained a little bit of self-esteem.

"You have to work harder and exercise, and you will suffer if you don't have any strength to fight." Zhou Zhan said.

"It also depends on who you fight with." Lin Xiaochuan said: "I definitely can't fight you, you are a fighter. If you fight Xu Cheng, you should barely be able to draw."

Zhou Zhan glanced at Xu Cheng in the distance, and said: "If Xu Cheng refuses to let you, you will not be able to draw with him."

Lin Xiaochuan said a little depressed: "It's fine if I can beat Fang Jing, and others won't fight with me."

Speaking of Fang Jing, the two looked at each other with meaningful expressions.Fortunately, at this moment, the child didn't know whether he was tired from tossing or something, and finally left.

"You asked me before if Fang Jing didn't want to come back, do you remember?" Zhou Zhan said.Lin Xiaochuan responded when he heard the words.

Zhou Zhan said: "When Uncle Mu asked me to go to your place, we didn't know you were there, so we took Fang Jing with us."

This is understandable, any soldier needs a shepherd he trusts when he goes to a new place, and if it is Lin Xiaochuan, he will bring his trusted shepherd with him.After all, shepherds have the ability to abolish the abilities of fighters. If they encounter a hostile shepherd and destroy all fighters, wouldn't there be no place to cry?

Because of this, Lin Xiaochuan had no unhappy thoughts about Zhou Zhan letting Fang Jing succeed him as pastor.Moreover, he was indeed not a qualified pastor at that time, and he was not prepared at all.

"The reason why I took Fang Jing with me is because Uncle Fang entrusted him to me before he passed away. Although Fang Tang is Fang Jing's own brother, he is brave and foolhardy, and he has no ambitions. " Zhou Zhan said.

Fang Tang is indeed such a person.
