Chapter 51 Surveillance

After Zhou Yunshu said these words, the wind passing by in the air seemed to slow down.

The woman holding the child glanced at Zhou Yunshu carefully, and then looked at the crazy woman anxiously. There was probably no one here who knew what she had encountered better than her.

The crazy woman held the child without saying anything, and Zhou Yunshu did not rush her.

"Daddy!" A soft and waxy voice came from behind them.

Xixi held Chunque's hand and trotted to Zhou Yunshu's side. She raised her little head and opened her hands to Zhou Yunshu. Later, after thinking of something, she retracted her arms and grabbed Zhou Yunshu's hand obediently.

Zhou Yunshu smiled and trimmed Xixi's messy hair.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Xixi raised her head and asked.

"Making a decision."

"Daddy, is this decision difficult to make?"

"Yeah."

The crazy woman seemed to be touched by the "Daddy" sounds. She hugged the child in her arms tightly, and finally, her voice sounded like He walked through the layers of thorns and said hoarsely: "I've decided to send him away."

The night wind blew by, and the leaves in the firewood pile made a "rustle" sound.

A small corpse was wrapped in a gray cloak, and was placed on a pile of firewood by a pair of hands with numerous scars, but it could still be seen that they had been pampered in the past.

Crazy woman...or should we call her Du Huairou, she looked at the package lying on the pile of firewood, bent down and kissed it gently.

Cremation was requested by Du Huairou.

She didn't want her child to lie alone in the wilderness. She wanted to take him away and take him home.

Du Huairou held the torch with both hands and tremblingly used it to light the fire. She watched the orange-red flames slowly climb up the firewood and lick the gray cloak. Suddenly, a calm chanting sound came to her ears.

It's a rebirth mantra.

"Namo Amitabha Night, Duotagadu Night..."

Du Huairou followed the sound of the sutra and turned her head to look at Zhou Yunshu, who was silently chanting the sutra. Tears slowly blurred her vision, and she couldn't help but cry loudly.

Holding her child in her arms, Yu Miaomiao looked at the flames burning in front of her eyes and couldn't help but think of her family members whose bodies were exposed in the wilderness. She couldn't help but sob from a small voice to bursting into tears.

The sound of chanting gradually stopped as the flames slowly extinguished. Du Huairou held the jar in her arms and carefully collected all the ashes of her child into the jar bit by bit before all the sparks on the ground disappeared.

After everything was installed, her hands were burned to a crisp, but she held the jar in her arms with satisfaction and attachment as if she was unconscious.

When Zhou Yunshu turned around to leave, Du Huairou's voice came from behind.

"Thank you." Du Huairou knelt on the ground holding the jar and kowtowed to Zhou Yunshu.

Zhou Yunshu said softly "Hmm" and took her daughter's hand and walked in the direction of her mother.

Several heads gathered together in the dry grass a few hundred meters away. One of them said: "Do you still want to check?"

The older man said: "Wait a minute."

This wait lasted all night.

The next morning, the people in the grass watched the long team in the distance leaving in an orderly manner after breakfast, and then they dared to come out carrying bows and arrows and machetes.

They rushed all the way to the ruined temple, and all that was left to them was the strong smell of blood in the yard and the black bones and wood ash on the ground.

"They are all dead." The young man said to the elders who were searching everywhere.

"Yeah."

"These refugees are so fierce, and the direction they left just now..."

Before the young man could finish speaking, the elder tightened his grip on the bow and arrow in his hand and said sternly: "Go back quickly!"

...

The team was about to arrive. When they were having breakfast about going into the mountains, Zhou Yunshu and Du Laozhuang had already told the entire team. At the same time, Zhou Yunshu and Du Laozhuang also told everyone about the pros and cons of walking up the mountain road and walking down the mountain that they had discussed last night.

Zhou Yunshu never thought of being dictatorial. Only the people in the team knew the pros and cons, and it would be easier to manage them after they entered the mountain.

So Zhou Yunshu asked the patrol team to take away all the fire in the team that day, and there was no complaint.

In addition, the patrol team members also warned everyone in the team that they were not allowed to use fire privately after going up the mountain, and they were not allowed to play with fire.

In addition to the mutual supervision of members of each household, the large groups that Zhou Yunshu previously divided must also supervise each other. Once someone violates the rules set by the team, the entire group will be punished. This is also to better avoid The unexpected happens.

Du Huairou and Miaomiao joined the team with their children. They had no money and could not buy the team's mule cart at a high price like Liu Fuyi and Wan Liqing, so they could only walk with the team.

The two of them took their children and Liu Fuyi to temporarily form a group. Wan Liqing thought about inviting them to get in the car, but Liu Fuyi refused.

He couldn't believe that two women had lived among the cannibal refugees for so long, and he couldn't ignore the strong evil aura on both of them. It was good not to interfere with each other now.

Zhou Yunshu arranged them into a group for better surveillance. They may not know each other, but other than that, Zhou Yunshu didn't give them much attention.

The team moved faster after leaving the ruined temple. The patrol team and the people in the team had been highly vigilant due to the previous riots by the victims and the recent cannibalism incident. Li Jialan and Fang Huiwen also restrained the children and did not dare to let them go. They move away from each other.

"Shu'er, if we can pass through Anshan, how long will it take to get to Haizhou?"

Zhou Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "If we can go down the mountain from the exit mentioned by Shopkeeper Liang, we can get to Baishi County in less than half a day."

"It takes half a month's walk south from Baishi County to Fucheng in Luzhou. There we can find out more about my grandmother and second aunt, and we can also replenish some food and water there."

"Leave Fucheng and follow the official road We can leave Luzhou in about half a month."

Of course, what Zhou Yunshu said is if everything goes well.

Leaving Luzhou means leaving the hardest-hit area, and they will be much more relaxed then.

"That's right." Zhou Yunshu looked at Li Jialan and Fang Huiwen and said, "We didn't tell anyone about our trip to Haizhou, right?"

Li Jialan and Fang Huiwen shook their heads together, "No."

After finally integrating into this team, they If they reveal that their destination is different from theirs, they may be ostracized, not to mention that they rarely have contact with other people in the team.

"That's good. There's something wrong with Wei Zhong's escort."

"Is there a problem?!" Fang Huiwen was stunned.

During this period of time, she watched helplessly as Wei Zhong was about to become Zhou Yunshu's subordinate, but Zhou Yunshu said that there was something wrong with Wei Zhong. Could it be that he was sent by his sworn enemy to supervise them!

When Fang Huiwen thought of this, she rejected herself first. If they were sent by their enemy, Wei Zhong would have attacked them long ago, but Wei Zhong gave her the feeling of being more protective of them.

"Yes, he knows my identity."

Zhou Yunshu thought of Wei Zhong's abnormality during this period. Although she didn't want to believe it, they were less like her grandfather and father, and more like... Ji Sheng's people.
