Chapter 109 Don't Let Yourself Be Bullied
In the following days, Lu Yize stopped tormenting her and himself.
Jiang Yue seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life, but only Lu Yize, who slept with her, knew that she was not used to it at all and even frowned in her sleep.
This was probably the first time Lu Yize had ever been curious—curious about what kind of life she led, curious about what the outside world was like.
While Lu Yize's father went to the village for a banquet, Lu Yize's mother secretly escorted them to the village entrance.
She cautiously looked back and repeatedly instructed, "Take her to the town police station, wait for them to take her inside, and then come back, understand?"
"understood."
Lu Yize answered absentmindedly, and Jiang Yue had no idea what had happened.
They didn't hear the sound of chasing after them until they had walked quite a distance away.
Lu Yize led Jiang Yue to hide in the bushes. Jiang Yue was scared but remained quiet and didn't make a sound.
Only when the footsteps outside gradually faded away did he pull Jiang Yue out.
They walked along the mountain path under the cover of darkness, with Jiang Yue fearfully holding onto Lu Yize's hand.
"Where's Auntie?" Jiang Yue asked in a low voice, frightened.
“She can’t get out,” Lu Yize said calmly. “None of the women in that village can get out.”
"Why?" Jiang Yue asked, puzzled.
Lu Yize didn't say anything more; he didn't understand either.
All they knew was that people would come to their village from time to time, and then news would spread that someone in the village had a new bride, and the women in the village were not allowed to leave their homes.
Those whose parents have a good relationship don't need to be locked up, while those who are disobedient are locked up, and being beaten and scolded is commonplace.
He didn't speak, and Jiang Yue didn't speak either; the two walked in silence for a while.
It wasn't until Lu Yize noticed that Jiang Yue was walking slower and slower that he realized she couldn't keep up with him, even though she didn't say anything.
"Come up."
Lu Yize squatted down, not giving Jiang Yue a chance to say anything more, carried her on his back, and hurried away.
"Brother." Jiang Yue obediently lay down, her hand on his shoulder.
"Who's your brother?" Lu Yize coldly rejected her advances.
Jiang Yue thought for a moment and changed her address, "Brother Hanzi?"
"You're not allowed to call me that."
Lu Yize had been dissatisfied with his name for a long time, and he was determined to change it to a name that sounded more cultured.
Jiang Yue giggled and leaned against his back.
Lu Yize didn't slow down. As he walked, he said to Jiang Yue, "When you get back, eat well, don't get bullied, and don't be all smiles like an idiot. You look so easy to fool."
"And don't get kidnapped to other places again, you might not meet kind people like my mom and me next time."
"elder brother?"
Jiang Yue didn't really understand what he was saying.
Lu Yize carried her to the light, then put her down. "Go inside yourself, and let the people inside help you find your parents."
Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Yize said in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't you say you wanted to find your parents? What are you standing there for now?"
"Where is my brother?" Jiang Yue looked at him in fear.
"Go back to your own home, go back to your own mother, do I have to teach you this principle?"
He pushed her towards the light, but then reached out and trespassed into the light from the darkness, pinching her face.
"Remember, don't let anyone bully you."
After saying that, Lu Yize threw the stone in his hand at the police station, then turned and ran away.
It wasn't until the policewoman who heard the commotion came out and found Jiang Yue standing there crying that she quickly carried her inside.
After confirming her safety, Lu Yize turned and plunged into the night, but he could never seem to reach the end of this path.
Lu Yize woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, finally ending that endless road.
A dream reminded him of some things he had long forgotten.
He glanced at Jiang Yue, who was sleeping nestled in his arms. She hadn't changed much since she was a child; she was still just as clingy and not as bright.
Lu Yize closed his eyes again and held Jiang Yue, who had grown up and become a zombie, in his arms.
Thinking to myself, it seems that even if I sent it back, it wouldn't be treated well.
I don't know what happened to Jiang Yue's parents. How could they raise such a cute girl as a child into a monster?
If you don't know how to raise it, you might as well let him raise it.
The weather turned extremely cold in the apocalypse, even inside the base, and the generators couldn't keep out the chill.
Jiang Yue woke up early in the morning, her neck was so cold. She touched her hair, which had become shorter, and silently grabbed at the air, trying to find her long hair again.
Lu Yize sneered from the side, telling her to be swift and decisive, and now she knew she was regretting it.
When Jiang Yue looked at him with a pleading gaze, Lu Yize coldly said, "Go find Sheng Xue."
Jiang Yue didn't want to go out at all; the weather was so cold that it took courage to even step outside.
She felt as if her whole body was frozen, and she was already a corpse.
Oh, wait, I think I've already died. That's a good question.
Even though she didn't want to go out, Lu Yize still dragged her outside. Sheng Xue and the others were gathered around the fire.
Seeing Lu Yize and Jiang Yue arrive, Fan Jian pointed at Xiao Bai and boasted, "Brother Lu! Let me tell you, it was so cold we couldn't even light a fire. In the end, it was only after our Brother Gou was struck by lightning that it was lit!"
"Dog Bro is awesome! Dog Bro is amazing!!"
Little White patted the ground modestly with its paw, telling him not to get so excited, as it wasn't anything to brag about.
Although its head, held high towards the sky, clearly didn't understand the meaning of being low-key, its tail, which turned into a propeller, also completely exposed Little White's thoughts.
"You know what, you really have to admit, the fire created by the supernatural lightning is quite resilient. The fire we lit earlier went out in no time."
Xian Wenrui reached out to warm his hands on the fire, which crackled and popped.
Zhang Wenjing stirred the glowing coals under the fire and placed the rice cakes she had taken out of the warehouse underneath them.
Lu Yize glanced at it and saw several failed products lying next to him.
The blackened, charred charcoal was a terrible waste of resources; wasting food in the apocalypse was heartbreaking for them.
Fortunately, Xiaobai is not a picky eater and ate everything clean, but afterwards her throat felt like it was on fire.
Lu Yize took the tongs and skillfully roasted sweet potatoes for them.
Fan Jian, standing nearby, looked on with interest. "Lu Yize, you can do this too!"
"Yes, I've done it before."
Lu Yize's background was kept from everyone, and Fan Jian suddenly remembered.
Lu Yize was born in the village. His parents died, and his relatives seemed to hate him and refused to take care of him.
They abandoned him in an orphanage, and it seems he came to the city later with some financial assistance.
"Brother Lu, you're really amazing. You became a self-made millionaire on your own. Unlike my family, none of us are particularly smart." Fan Jian sighed with regret.
Xian Wenrui, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. "What do you call this? This is called being a fool with good fortune. Who else is as lucky as you, who can latch onto a rich guy so easily?"
In the apocalypse, it's good enough to just survive. Fan Jian, because he once did Lu Yize a favor, hasn't really suffered much since the apocalypse began!
