Chapter 2762: Zhou Xiuyun (1/2)
No matter how much Thangka and Chu Zhiyun pretend to be cold and mature, they are only 13 or 14-year-old teenagers and girls. In front of this unkempt mother-beast-like woman, they simply lost their helmets and armor, and could not stand it.
”You, who are you?”
Chu Zhiyun was stunned for a long time before taking a deep breath, barely recovering his frosty face, and pretending to be calm, ”Who else is inside, is it your daughter?”
”Yes, just my daughter and I. There is no one else. We are hungry. We don’t dare to come out after being hungry for a long time. Adults can bear it, but children can’t help it. I will come out to find something to eat for my daughter. I eat it.”
The woman raised her hands and said pitifully, ”Forgive us, and let my daughter go!”
She staggered back toward the depths of the cold storage.
Thangka and Chu Zhiyun were holding a dagger, staring at her, and approaching her step by step.
In the cold storage, the smelly, perishable frozen seafood has long turned into a pool of turbid and suspicious liquid, which makes people want to wait for half a second. No wonder the children can't help crying.
Hearing her mother's voice, from behind a pile of frozen meat in the corner, a little girl who was at most two or three years old crawled out, bursting into tears and laughing.
This little girl looks completely different from her mother. Even after several days in the dark, damp, rotten and corrupted cold storage, she still can be called ”pink and jade”. The little girl is still in a muddle-headed age. He doesn't speak much, only knows that he is called ”mother” and ”hungry”. I don't know what kind of dangerous situation I am in. ”Chuckling”, using his hands and feet together, he crawled towards his mother very happily.
The middle-aged woman hugged the child in her arms, kissed and kissed, could not help shed two lines of tears, but did not want to scare the child, while crying silently, while squeezing an ugly smile, whispered in her daughter's ear: ” Good girl, it’s okay, mom is here to find food for you, we will eat dinner later, good girl, don’t cry, don’t cry...”
”mom……”
The little girl stared at Thangka and Chu Zhiyun with her **** and white eyes widened. She didn't even know the ugliness of the world. She only thought the clothes worn by these two big brothers and sisters were very beautiful, ”Flower, flower! ”
”Save my daughter!”
The middle-aged woman pleaded again, ”I beg you!”
Thangka and Chu Zhiyun took a deep breath at the same time, trying to calm the stormy waves in their brains.
”Who are you, how can you hide here, how long have you been hiding, what have you seen!”
Thangka shook the dagger at the woman, pretending to be vicious, ”Say it out!”
”Oh!”
The light reflected from the dagger shone into the little girl's eyes. The little girl was very interested in the shiny toy. She smiled and stretched out her hand to grab it.
Thangka's face suddenly burned red, and she put the dagger down at a loss, not knowing where to put both hands.
Fortunately, the middle-aged woman didn't notice Thangka's panic, and honestly stated her identity.
She said that her name was Zhou Xiuyun, and this was her daughter Xiao Tiantian. The father of the child was a low-level officer of the Houtu Garrison. She came to the Houtu world with her husband.
Zhou Xiuyun is a ill-fated woman. She was born in a border world of the real human empire. Although she was born in a family of cultivating immortals, she did not awaken her spiritual roots, and she fell into the family path, making ends meet, so she couldn’t find anything decent. His in-laws married two husbands in a row, both of whom were low-level immortal cultivators. They had to live a life of bravery and blood licking, and they lost their lives one after another.
Fortunately, the cultivator has no superstition in marriage. Although she has not awakened the spiritual roots, her birth in a family of cultivators proves that she has a strong enough gene. The probability of her offspring becoming a cultivator is always slightly higher than that of ordinary people. Based on this, she I quickly found a third husband. Of course, he is not a rich man. He is just a nouveau riche who has made military exploits by virtue of courage and good luck.
The third husband is not too bad for her, but her husband’s family has no foundation, and her natal family can’t help too much. He has no background and influence. No matter how great the credit is, her husband cannot be promoted. Her husband is in the local warlord force. The Chinese servants have been mixed up for decades, but they are still firmly locked by the glass ceiling, and they can only move around between a few basic-level positions.
At exactly this time, news came that the expeditionary army was recruiting. The landlord of Zhou Xiuyun's hometown was also ambitious to form a semi-commercial and semi-colonial army to get a share of the frontline and recruit a large number of experienced officers. The position where both risks and benefits exist was tailor-made for Zhou Xiuyun's husband. He signed up without thinking about it.
Going to the front line will most likely take decades or even a lifetime. The vast majority of military officers are unscrupulous children in their hometowns. They don’t have too much care and attachment, but they are the nursery and will bring the whole family together. After moving to Hou Tujie and Heibao Star, the officers were stationed in military bases, and these military family members became citizens of civilian towns such as ”Xinle City.”
Needless to say, Thangka and Chu Zhiyun knew what happened after that.
The Saint League fleet was under pressure, and the thick-earth garrison of the empire was immediately collapsed. Even Xinle City was cleaned up by the Saint League within three days, and most of the civilians were taken away by captivity.
However, it is not surprising that it is a big town, row upon row of high-rise buildings, underground pipelines extending in all directions, and occasionally a few fish slipping through the net.
Zhou Xiuyun told Thangka and Chu Zhiyun that she was originally an employee of this supermarket, and when she heard the rumble of cannons from the suburbs, she hurriedly found her daughter and wanted to escape.
At that time, most of the civilians wanted to run out of the city. Several main roads were so crowded that Zhou Xiuyun originally wanted to escape from the city, but she fell on the way and broke her leg. She really walked. Unmoving, in a panic, he had to escape back to the supermarket he was most familiar with and hid in the cold storage.
She originally took a lot of food from the shelf and moved it to the cold storage. Unfortunately, she was panicked, but forgot to get the water. Moreover, with cold water, the milk powder and rice paste that the child ate could not be melted. The environment in the cold storage is extremely harsh, and the child is faintly ill. The wife has been in the cold storage for a few days. She really can’t stand it, so she ventured outside to get some heaters and find some medicine. Unexpectedly, she just Hit Thangka and Chu Zhiyun.
