When the two shadows had appeared, it was coincided with the moment Yan Hanqing was going to take over being lookout. This meant that all three were wide awake and had seen the strange shadows appear. The three immediately became alert.
Shao Qing didn’t say a word. Making a hand gesture, Er Dai and Yan Hanqing immediately understood, one went to the left while the other went to the right to flank them.
Shao Qing quietly sneaked closer. Afterwards she was able to hear the two speaking.
It was a woman’s voice: “In any case they have all left already. Why do we still have to come in the middle of the night? I feel a bit scared, how about we change it to tomorrow……?”
Immediately a man’s voice could be heard: “Do you think we’re doing something that can be publicly seen? Coming during the day time, peh. Dig quicker and don’t waste time.”
“Who are you trying to teach? Whatever, don’t say anything. I feel that the silence of tonight is rather frightening……” The woman lowered her voice: “That troublesome b*tch, seducing the village chief and swallowing all that money. Not even a portion went into our hands. Now we’re going to tear her skin and gnaw on her bone, this is all just retribution!”
The man laughed: “Stop saying bullsh*t. Just quickly dig. I haven’t had meat in a long time and the cemetery on the other side has been all dug out. We still have to think about what we’ll do in the future.”
“That turtley turtle sh*t. When he was leaving he wouldn’t even leave behind anything for us to eat. Seeing him like this, I’m eighty percent sure he’s become that woman’s gigolo. Did you see how well he listened to those b*tches. What a loose woman, she even had a son……” As the woman’s voice rang out, Yan Hanqing couldn’t hold back anymore. With angry eyes he stared at that man and woman as if they were dead.
The two of them were frightened, raising the spade in their arms up defensively. Realizing that it was Yan Hanqing, they started to feel less confident.
“Ne……nephew. Didn’t you leave?” The woman stammered.
Yan Hanqing gave them an ice-cold glance and coldly said: “If I actually did leave, I’m afraid that even my mother’s corpse would’ve been defiled by you people with hearts of wolves and lungs of dogs*!”
* cruel and unscrupulous
Since Yan Hanqing had been born, he had scarcely used any profanity. But, this time he really couldn’t hold back. Speaking about it, him and this man before him could be considered to have half of the same blood. Yet, this man was ruthless enough to try to steal money from an orphan and a widow. That money was his father’s posthumous compensation money.
Anyone who had a conscience wouldn’t have been able to do this kind of thing!
Even worse is that they weren’t even going to let his mother’s corpse go. Hearing their filthy speech made him rage with fury.
Before he had thought that no matter what, that married couple were his closest relatives in the world, so even though they weren’t the kindest, Yan Hanqing wasn’t prepared to pick up on their debt. Merely they had stepped on Yan Hanqing’s bottom line.
They could do a thousand things, or ten thousand things, but the one thing they shouldn’t have done was lay a hand on Yan Hanqing’s mother.
“This is my mother’s burial mound. I originally didn’t want there to be blood in front of her grave to allow her to be in peace.” Yan Hanqing seemed to be speaking to himself.
Hearing all this the man started shivering. He knew that Yan Hanqing had enrolled in the military and has seen blood before. If him and his wife went against him together, that would be as simple as basically handing over a dish to him.
“Hanqing, what are you thinking? I’m still your uncle……”
“That’s right. Hanqing what kind of nonsense are you talking about? We were here to just add some more dirt onto your mother’s grave.” The woman quickly added.
“It’s getting dark.” Noiselessly, Shao Qing appeared not so far away behind Yan Hanqing, speaking indifferently. “Hanqing, you bring Er Dai back first. Let me deal with this.”
Yan Hanqing knew that Shao Qing was worried that if he made a move on his own relatives it might create a shadow within his heart, therefore she wanted him to bring Er Dai and leave thus leaving Shao Qing to deal with these two.
But, Yan Hanqing shook his head and calmly replied. “No, I’ll do it.”
“What do you want……” As the woman’s sharp voice came out, the man suddenly stabbed his spade towards Yan Hanqing’s neck, trying to gain an upper hand by striking first.
Shao Qing didn’t give them another glance, pulling Er Dai by the hand, they left. If he couldn’t even deal with two regular folks, could Yan Hanqing still be Yan Hanqing?
She wasn’t worried in the slightest.
After leaving the cemetery, Shao Qing lightly laughed. “They have chosen a good location, at least now they won’t die without a burial site.”
Around roughly two minutes after, Yan Hanqing came out. His body still had the stench of blood. Although there wasn’t much, for Shao Qing the smell was very distinct.
“Have you finished dealing with them?” As Shao Qing turned her head, she saw Yan Hanqing solemnly pull out a cigarette. Searching for a lighter for the longest time and still unable to find one, he just had it squeezed between his fingers without lighting it.
“They don’t deserve to be added into the Yan family’s ancestral tomb.” Yan Hanqing coldly stated. He didn’t mention how he had handled those two people, but Shao Qing didn’t ask. The three then started to walk back in the direction of where they parked their car.
She knew Yan Hanqing’s heart was definitely unwell. He was the honest upright kind of man like a mountain, silent and reliable. This kind of man has often placed an importance on relationships no matter if it was familial relationships or repaying someone. Although those two were trash, at the end of the day they were still his relatives; in fact, his last relatives in this world.
Shao Qing knew that at most Yan Hanqing would be gloomy for a bit longer then he would hide everything inside his heart. This man who appeared silent and stern, had already been pressured by stress and is already having difficulty breathing.
She could tell that Yan Hanqing didn’t smoke before. From his posture of smoking a cigarette, it was awkward and clumsy. On his finger there were no common marks or traces that he has been smoking for a long time. It was probably only after the apocalypse did he start smoking.
This man just had too much to shoulder, he couldn’t let himself relax.
Shao Qing had always thought that she wasn’t the type to have a glib tongue, but since she had met Yan Hanqing, she just couldn’t help straightening him out again and again.
“Your heart not feeling well?”
Yan Hanqing shook his head. His eyes showed that he seemed to be at a loss but looking at Shao Qing, he quickly recovered: “I’m not that weak.”
Shao Qing stared at Yan Hanqing for a while then laughed: “Haha, I guess I thought wrong.” He was a military man, he was indeed not that weak and fragile. Even if he felt a bit depressed, Yan Hanqing would definitely not say it out loud.
“Wait until we’re back and then you could register yourself to become an official superhuman. Afterwards you could be allocated a residence. How about you choose the one right beside mine? Since I killed that person, the house next door to mine has been empty. Be my neighbour. Later on if anything happens we can look after each other. I can even bring my darling over to your house for dinner.” Shao Qing smiled.
Yan Hanqing silently nodded his head. Everything that he owns was given to him by Shao Qing. So, everything he owns is also Shao Qings.
Just when Yan Hanqing was contemplating about something, suddenly a ice-cold hand covered his eyes. He was still able to hear Shao Qing’s pleasant voice in his ears: “Have I ever told you…… that your eyes are really gorgeous?”
Volume 3 55 Reminiscence
She shouldn’t have provoked Shao Qing from the beginning. Shao Qing was not something she could handle.
However, at this time it was too late to regret. Mistakes had been committed, hatred had been formed and the hatred was so deep that it could not be resolved.
Fu Jinling was very desperate. She even began to hate everyone, including Lin Qifan. If Lin Qifan didn’t take the initiative to hook up with her, would she like Lin Qifan and do those things to Shao Qing?
She hated her parents. If they didn’t care about her, would she think that money could settle everything and cause the car accident?
As for Shao Qing, the feeling of hatred was rather shallow, there was more regret and despair.
Shao Qing didn’t bother to think about what Fu Jinling was thinking. She temporarily handed over the reception at the gate to others, and then took Mulin and her group back.
When she went back, she sent someone to call Tang Tiande. Tang Tiande was her little brother, it would be a waste not to use him.
When Tang Tiande came over, he saw two women sitting on the sofa, surrounded by men. None of them looked bad.
“Boss, why are you looking for me?” Tang Tiande had just finished his work. After he experienced everything, he looked a lot better, and his whole person was also a lot more motivated.
Especially after being squeezed by Shao Qing for so long.
Back at the base, even Tang Yaozu was surprised to find that his son was promising. Of course, this meant that complicated work followed.
Tang Tiande expressed his painful happiness.
Shao Qing took Fu Jinling, who was tied to one side, and threw her under Tang Tiande’s feet: “This is my enemy, the ones that are deeper than blood. I know you are cunning, so I will give the person to you. I just have one request, make her live so she wishes she were dead.”
Tang Tiande couldn’t help but shiver. He had deep admiration and compassion for Fu Jinling for daring to offend Shao Qing in this manner.
He has never seen Shao Qing hate a person this much. To make her live so she wishes she were dead, gulp.
Tang Tiande shook his head with a face that was so false that he could no longer be more fake in his compassion, then he was kicked out by Shao Qing: “Hurry up and take the person away.”
Tang Tiande quickly said, “Boss, don’t worry. I will keep her alive and make her feel things more painful than death.”
Tang Tiande then took the person away. After he took them away, Shao Qing said to Mulin: “Where did you go after leaving?”
“I went over almost all of China and maybe it was fate, but I didn’t see you at all. Did you know I was desperate and almost lost hope, but I didn’t expect that after almost giving up, we actually met again.” Mulin was like a child lying on Shao Qing before she asked: “Is this your son?”
Shao Qing nodded, then spoke to the man next to Mulin: “Are you a friend of Mulin’s? Qiyue, you take this man out for a walk first. Bring Hanqing, Er Dai, and the baby. I have some private things to say to Mulin.”
“Xiao An, you go first. Treat it as if you’re getting familiar with the base.” Mulin said lightly.
The man nodded, and went out with Yan Qiyue and the others.
After all those people left, Shao Qing said, “Actually, I am no longer a human being. When the car accident happened, I should have died. I did not expect that the end of the world would just so happen at that time. I can be considered lucky and managed to live. But my son and I have physiques similar to those of zombies.”
She said helplessly: “Actually, it should be said that we are zombies.”
Mulin looked surprised but there was no fear. She came over curiously. She touched Shao Qing’s belly, then touched Shao Qing’s face, then finally touched Shao Qing’s body everywhere before reluctantly letting go. She said in a surprised tone: “It’s really cold and there’s no heartbeat!”
Shao Qing looked helpless: “Even if you are not afraid, pretend to be a little bit so that I can feel a little sense of accomplishment, okay?”
Mulin immediately exaggerated her acting skills: “So pitiful and terrible, I’m so scared~”
Shao Qing turned over and rolled her eyes: “It’s all in the past. Right now, I’m at my friend’s base, Jiangcheng. There are mainly zombies there, but it’s peaceful and no one disturbs me.”
“I saw three handsome guys next to you.” Mulin winked: ” Did you get all of them?”
Speaking of the three of them, Shao Qing’s mood improved a lot: “The taller, stronger one is Yan Hanqing. He is also a soldier. The one with a tender face, the cute boy is Er Dai. He is also a zombie, but he is currently in a state of slowly recovering his memory. The last one who is more irritable is Yan Qiyue. Once Er Dai has recovered and there’s nothing else left, we’ll get married.”
Mullin expressed her envy: “Why are there so many handsome men where you are? I also want to……”
“What about your boyfriend?” Shao Qing couldn’t help but pat her head: “I remember that your boyfriend is not the one next to you……”
“He’s dead……” Mulin was a little sad: “When I found him, he was already a zombie. I personally finished him off myself…… I know he definitely wouldn’t want to become such a monster.”
“My condolences.” Shao Qing patted her. This is how the last days were. Birth and death always came so quickly. No one can predict what will happen in the next second.
“I’m fine now and have been living well.” Mulin smiled. At first, she was probably desperate. When the painful period passed, the scars gradually became shallower.
People always have to look forward when they are alive. Living in memories would just result in pain.
“So Xiao An is your new boyfriend?” After Shao Qing comforted Mulin, she hurriedly changed the subject.
Mulin answered lazily: “Not really a boyfriend, more like an attractive young man I’m raising. I met him at the last base. He looks good and lives well. I don’t have a partner by my side, so I temporarily kept him. It’s easy to get lonely when you grow up, even if you raise someone to get rid of loneliness.”
Shao Qing nodded and said nothing.
One’s own life was something one had to do themselves, she couldn’t arrange anything for Mulin. She could also see that Mulin was hiding something bad from her.
If there were no changes, Mulin would definitely not be the way she is now.
She didn’t plan to dig out Mulin’s scar. She just silently hugged Mulin.
Shao Qing believed that time would heal all scars.
In the worst case, they could just find a good man for Mulin. Someone handsome and considerate that would warm her heart.
The two chatted for a long time and both talked about their current situation. After the chat, Shao Qing said to Mulin: “Hope survivor base is built by one of my acquaintances. If you want to settle here, you can. Of course, I hope you can go with me to Jiangcheng, but they are all zombies. I’m afraid you might not get used to living there, so I won’t force you. You can choose by yourself. Even if you live in Hope Survivor Base, it doesn’t matter. I will come to see you often.”
Mulin did not hesitate: “I’m going with you!”
She held Shao Qing’s arm firmly: “I found you after such hard work, so I don’t want to separate from you. Isn’t it just a zombie? What’s there to be afraid of, my current strength is not weak!”
Shao Qing had long seen that she was a mental superhuman, a very aggressive mental superhuman. Her and Shao Tong were two completely different developmental directions. “
Since you have said so, then don’t say that I didn’t give you a choice.” Shao Qing patted her head: “What about your Xiao An?”
“I’ll break it off.” Mulin waved her hand, without any nostalgia: “Attractive young men are everywhere. Don’t worry, I will not let your secrets have a chance to leak, but you have to pay me with a handsome guy.”
“Well, what’s your type? “Shao Qing touched her face and asked.
Mulin immediately laughed. She rolled into her arms and her tears came out: “Why is this world so unfair? You are already suffering, but those sufferings and pains are still directed at you. The heavens are so unfair. Why can’t God be willing to give you something good.”
“I have you.” Shao Qing’s eyes were warm. She has been wandering for half a lifetime, but she had never had a half-point of resentment. This was because while she was losing, she had already gained enough.
People always have to be content and only when they are content would they be happy.
If you only focus on what is lost, then you will continue to regret and lose. This is the truth that she has known since a very young age.
“Ah Qing, does your son have a name?” Mulin, who always felt that the topic was too heavy, hurriedly changed the topic. She asked enthusiastically, “What’s his name?”
Shao Qing was expressionless for a long while before saying: “I haven’t gotten to that yet……”
Mulin:……
“Not mentioning how old your son looks, wasn’t he born more than a year ago, yet you still don’t even have a name? How can you treat your son like that! Even if his father was a scumbag, it is not the child’s fault!” Mulin stared angrily, then said: “You can’t blame the child because of that scum, the child is innocent!”
“Ah Lin ……you know……” Shao Qing remained expressionless.
“Don’t tell me that you forgot.” Mulin covered her forehead, and said: “Well, I shouldn’t have given hope to a cripple at naming, but have you ever thought that it’s a problem for a child to have no name like this? You can’t wait for your child to grow up in the future, and still call him baby. When you have to introduce him, will you introduce him as baby?”
Shao Qing reflected on her behavior deeply. Then she said: “Then what to do……”
“Think of a name!” Mulin was very interested: “Bao Bao can be used as a nickname, but a real name is needed!”
Shao Qing touched her chin, then said: “In fact, I have thought about his name, Shao Tuantuan. Tuantuan Yuan Yuan*, whether it is the message or literal, it is very good.”
* round
Mulin: Haha.
