Chapter 513 Where did you come from?
Before Xu Yu could recover from his shock, the male corpse lunged at him again.
"Fuck! Stop staring at me! Aren't those two little guys cuter than me? Stare at them, stare at them!"
Yu Jiajia pulled Luo Shiyu to a corner, crossed her arms, and leaned leisurely against the wall. Watching Xu Yu being chased around by the man, she nudged Luo Shiyu with her elbow and said gloatingly, "Don't you think he deserved it?"
"That's part of the reason, isn't it? Are we really not going to help?"
"What help are you going to offer? How can we help? Look at that guy, he's half a head taller than us. He's already at a disadvantage in terms of presence, not to mention strength."
"Yeah...that's right."
"Who is taller, him or He Gui?"
Luo Shiyu didn't know why Yu Jiajia suddenly asked this, but she still answered truthfully, "Him, I guess."
"That's terrible." Yu Jiajia was clearly trying not to laugh when she said this.
[It seems like Jiajia is up to something.]
"Actually, we can't just stand by and watch."
Just as Luo Shiyu was about to say, "Have you suddenly had a change of heart?", he heard Yu Jiajia shout at Xu Yu as if watching a commotion, "Run! Old man, if you're too slow you'll get crushed! Keep going! We believe in you!"
After Yu Jiajia finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Luo Shiyu and continued, "What are you just watching? Cheer him on!"
Luo Shiyu's lips twitched and he gave a dry laugh.
Jiajia really holds a grudge.
The noise inside didn't last long before it was stopped in time by people rushing in from outside.
"Lu Jinchuan! When are you going to stop this nonsense? Go back to your coffin!"
The man whose name was called froze, slowly moving his head to look at the veiled woman outside the door.
In his already unfocused pupils, one could see urgency, and he kept repeating that person's name.
"Yu... An... An An... that... person..." It was clear that he was telling the woman that Xu Yu'an had returned.
A figure flashed past him, rushed behind the woman, and launched into a tirade.
"Huihui, you're finally back! This corpse has gone mad! It's pinning me down and trying to bite me! Quick! Stop it!"
Fang Hui glanced at Xu Yu behind her, then at the overturned coffin, and finally at the stiff man, advising, "Go back, Lu Jinchuan. He is not Xu Yu'an. That person died a hundred years ago."
Xu Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right, I'm not a dead person!"
Lu Jinchuan straightened up and looked at Xu Yu from a distance.
His hair was curly, and his left eye, which was parasitized by zombie worms, was covered by his bangs. Although his right eye, which was exposed, had lost its light, one could still see the unique doting and obsession he had for Xu Yu.
His lips curled up as he slowly reached out his hand to Xu Yu.
“An’an…come…to your brother.”
"You seem pretty normal now, huh! But I refuse." Xu Yu finished speaking with a laugh and disappeared from where she stood, reappearing behind Luo Shiyu and Yu Jiajia.
"For safety's sake, let's retreat for now and come back another day."
Luo Shiyu: "Okay."
Yu Jiajia: "I have no objection."
"Cover me up, shuffling the cards will take some time." Xu Yu snapped his fingers and conjured a deck of cards, then proceeded to cut the cards in various ways to find the Joker.
Seeing his serious and resolute expression, Lu Jinchuan sensed a crisis, feeling that if he let him go, they would never see each other again.
Xu Yu'an's parting words echoed in his ears like a ghost.
"But... shouldn't the dream end? Tsugawa-nii, let you go, and let me go too. Let's say goodbye here, and never see each other again."
"No! An'an!" Lu Jinchuan broke free from Fang Hui's grasp and lunged at Xu Yu.
Luo Shiyu raised her sickle to block Lu Jinchuan's lunge, but the man was so strong that Luo Shiyu's feet couldn't stop her from retreating.
Yu Jiajia: "Are you done yet?"
Xu Yu: "Almost there, almost there, damn it! Where's the Joker?!"
Fang Hui and several corpse-drivers also came to help, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
The silence was broken by a shout of "Found it!" Xu Yu, with the Joker card between his fingers, yelled at Luo Shiyu, "Little Wang, grab me, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinchuan suddenly grabbed Luo Shiyu's arm and slammed him towards the corpse drivers.
Suddenly, everything spun around me, and I don't know how many people I knocked down. Then everything went black.
A childish, complaining female voice came from beside him: "Grandpa, how long are we going to keep raising these bugs? The corpses have all been cremated, where are we going to get more corpses to chase away!"
Luo Shiyu opened her eyes and looked around. It seemed to be a carpenter's room, with various tools hanging on the walls and sawdust scattered on the floor.
Luo Shiyu, who was sitting there, was stunned for a while before letting out a scream: "Holy crap! Where did I get here?"
"Where is this?"
He got up and walked towards the girl who was holding the glass jar. He stared at her face for a long time, but still couldn't recognize her.
"Who are you?"
"Could it be..." Luo Shiyu turned her gaze to the old man cutting the wooden planks. "Could it be this old man's memories?"
"It doesn't seem like it at all! Holy crap! Wake up! I don't want to be here!"
Luo Shiyu was so anxious that she banged her head against the wall, but it didn't hurt at all.
"Huihui, we can't lose the things passed down from our ancestors." The old man's voice successfully attracted Luo Shiyu's attention.
[Huihui? The leader of the corpse-driving group?]
“Grandpa, with all this war and conflict, only our family is still raising these damn bugs. We’re barely able to fill our own stomachs, and we have to feed them with corpses.”
Luo Shiyu then turned his gaze to the jar Fang Hui was holding. Inside were zombie worms, which were very small, only about five or six centimeters long, and could not compare to the large worms he had seen in the corpse-driving village.
"Alright, stop complaining. Once Grandpa finishes making the cabinet your Aunt Wang ordered, we can exchange it for some rice." The old man's body was hunched over, thin and bony. It felt like his bones were creaking as he sawed the wood, as if they were about to fall apart at any moment.
"Hmph~ Whatever you want."
"Now, there's only one zombie worm left, so you absolutely mustn't let it die."
"Okay! I'll go catch some mice to feed it."
Luo Shiyu followed Fang Hui as she left, watching her grab a handful of rice from the nearly empty rice jar, mix it with rat poison, and sprinkle it in the corner of the wall. Soon, several rats came over.
In these war-torn times, factories shut down, there was no water or electricity, and people had to fetch water from the river. The seeds planted in the ground were almost all eaten by insects and ants, resulting in poor harvests. Even the rats were thin and emaciated, with rough fur that made them look like they were about to starve to death.
Waiting for the rats to die from the poison, Fang Hui walked over, opened the jar, and disgustedly poured the zombie worms onto the corpses.
"Eat up, you worm."
[Fang Hui seems to really dislike this insect?]
