Day and night in the last days, everyone is always afraid and anxious, fearing that they will disappear in the night if they are not careful.

Mutated people, animals and plants don't care whether you can sleep peacefully or not. Physiological hunger often overcomes psychological fear. They will wait for opportunities at night to deal a fatal blow to humans.

There is a huge threat lurking in the night there. Even people with special abilities like Lu Yiming rarely walk in the dark night and will only run at night unless absolutely necessary.

There are no mutant monsters in the otherworldly village, and there is no need to worry about virus infection. Lu Yiming walked slowly under the stars, strolled through the countryside by moonlight, and enjoyed a moment of peace.

As he approached the bridge, he noticed a vague figure standing under the lights in the distance. He knew who it was without having to guess.

He walked forward and struck up a conversation in a comfortable mood: "Why don't you go in and wait?"

The village was a bit cold at night, and a gust of cool wind blew through, rolling up Pei Xing's long and messy hair, and they were dancing in the air, just like he was at the moment. The mood is at a loss.

Looking carefully, he found that the other person was about 1.7 meters tall, only reaching his chin.

This man was slender, and he was wearing rough farm clothes, hiding his thin body in the loose clothes. He was really afraid that the cold wind would sweep him away.

His skin, which is often exposed to the sun and wind, is not fair and tender like that of a star before the apocalypse, but rather like a new student who has participated in military training, with a hint of perseverance in his youthfulness.

Pei Xing held his hands behind his back and encouraged himself secretly. He raised his head and pretended to be relaxed: "I'm just afraid that you don't know the road..."

Halfway through, he felt that he was really stupid. What does it mean that you don't know the road? , I have lived in an old house for more than ten years, how can I not recognize it?

On the contrary, he was an outsider.

Lu Yiming looked at the ever-changing faces and felt a little funny. Are boys today so expressive?

He stretched out his hand and touched the child's head. The child covered his head and subconsciously avoided it. Then he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, blushed and put down his hand, put his head back under Lu Yiming's hand, and rubbed it himself.

"I finally understand what they mean by Zhengtai."

Pei Xing heard Lu Yiming's leaked laugh and froze, blinking his eyes, not understanding what he was saying.

"It's okay, I'm hungry. Let's go in and eat."

Lu Yiming stepped through the door first. Pei Xing touched the top of his head that was still warm behind him, took off the lantern on the threshold, and followed him.

The Lu family is quite impressive in Wuhe Village. There is a small outer garden after entering the gate. The house consists of a lobby, two bedrooms and a kitchen. It is not too big or too small, just suitable for a family to live in.

There were no lights in the room. Lu Yiming walked through the lobby and touched the kitchen according to his memory. He looked around in the moonlight. There was nothing on the table.

I had asked Pei Xing to prepare dinner in the afternoon. Given his personality, he would not forget it, so is it still on the stove?

Sure enough, the heat is transferred to the palm through the bamboo cover. It is getting colder in late autumn. Logically speaking, the food will cool down quickly. If no one is there to heat it, it will soon become cold.

There was a rush of footsteps behind him, and the light in the stove became brighter and brighter as the footsteps approached, and the footsteps suddenly stopped outside the door.

He listened carefully and saw that the other person outside the door took a deep breath before stepping in. Lu Yiming felt funny in his heart. Is he so scary?

The dinner in the stove is a corn and a bowl of porridge, with a little brown sugar sprinkled on the porridge. It can be seen that this is one of the few good things in the family.

He didn't mind it, so he took the same thing in one hand. He walked to the bamboo table not far away, found a stool and sat down, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Pei Xing nodded obediently, but before he spoke, there was a burst of grunting. The sound rang through the lantern, his face turned red, and he shook his head repeatedly: "I really ate it!"

Lu Yiming patted the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit down.

"Tell me, when was the last meal?"

"Noon, noon."

The other party was afraid that Lu Yiming would think he was lying, so he quickly said honestly.

"Open your mouth."

"Huh?"

Before he could raise his head, a dark shadow cast a shadow. A piece of corn was stuffed into his mouth. The warm corn touched his cold teeth, and his eyes widened instantly.

Lu Yiming took a sip of porridge and said, "It's not enough. Corn is your task for the evening."

Pei Xing quickly took off the corn and handed it to Lu Yiming with both hands, but was pushed back: "I ate it in town. , I can't eat so much now."

It turned out that he had already eaten.

"Then, let's eat tomorrow."

Lu Yiming caught his flash of disappointment. The other party hid it very well, and he didn't say anything more. Looking at the not-so-full corn, he suddenly felt like he was short of money.

Sure enough, making money to support the family is the first priority.

But there was one thing he wanted to confirm.

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

"Ah?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale. He suddenly remembered Aunt Song's words in the morning. Does your husband believe her slander and now want to prosecute her?

"I didn't!"

Pei Xing grabbed his sleeve tightly and said hurriedly: "How can you behave so unethically as a married man?"

Looking at the other person's frightened face, you wouldn't think that you thought he was unruly. , his original intention was just to ask about the situation. If the other party has a sweetheart, the beauty of adulthood would be the best.

However, he also has some selfish motives because he is afraid of trouble.

Some things need to be made clear: "I don't mean to blame you. It's just the first day you and I met. If you already have someone you love, I'm making a bad marriage. I'm willing to let you go." Pei

Xing I understand, my husband doesn't like him and wants to drive him away.

He tugged at his clothes and said with a pale face: "I have never had a sweetheart. When you marry, you must abide by your duty."

He paused, then mustered up the courage to ask: "Husband, are you planning to divorce me?"

No. My sweetheart is a bit difficult to deal with.

If he were to be released back, given the living conditions of his family, there was a 100% chance that he would be sold again. Besides, he had been married before, so the situation could be imagined.

Keeping someone behind is acknowledging that the other person is his husband. If the other person has real feelings for him, it will cause him a headache.

To think that someone as decisive as him would worry about these things one day.

For Lu Yiming, if it was his younger brother who continued to behave like this, he would be willing to take care of him until he got married and established a career. But if it was another partner, to be honest, a submissive person like Pei Xing was not within his scope of consideration.

The silence lasted for an extremely long time. Pei Xing pinched his palms and did not allow his unsatisfactory tears to fall.

Didn't we get along well just now? Why did he suddenly give himself a thunderous blow when he thought the other party was about to accept him?

He was really useless. It was obviously the first day the two of them met, and they just helped me once. Do I just want to rely on them shamelessly?

How could he forget an important thing? From the beginning to the end, the person Lu Yiming couldn't let go of was Song Yan. Even if she wasn't, it would only be a woman, not a brother.

It turns out that he is the one who ruined the marriage.

He, Pei Xing, was just a "thief" who waited for an opportunity to stay when he was not at home. Now that his master was back, he, a dirty rat, should have the knowledge to hide himself.

So what is he hoping for now?

Didn't you already realize that you were kicked out?

Why feel aggrieved?

Why are you aggrieved?

Lu Yiming pinched his chin, looked at his watery eyes that were calm in his own world, and sighed. The little thing was quite pitiful.

"Why are you crying?"

As soon as Lu Yiming's voice sounded, Pei Xing's tears that were still rolling instantly fell down and dripped on the knuckle of his index finger.

Silent and desperate.

Pei Xing broke the jar, and Lu Yiming was frightened. Brother, a new species, cannot be treated as a normal man.

He was silent, and the other party didn't say anything. They just looked at each other across the water curtain. In the end, Lu Yiming was defeated and released his chin, wiping away the tears that surged out again for him.

"Crybaby."

Forget it, let's keep it for now, it's not too much of a ration.
