Raising The Zombie King

The warm yellow sunlight slanted into the open hall, like a thin layer of gauze.

The autumn wind blew the wind chimes under the eaves, and the lazy big cat stretched out to the door. The swing in the lush yard was light, and the zombie in a long white coat carried the watering can and took care of the plants.

Zhao Xiaochun drew back his gaze, and the felt dolls on the table were surrounded by a handful of osmanthus, and the fragrance was tangy.

Linyou poured a cup of tea for her: "Sister Zhao, don't mention it, just sit back."

She and Xiao Xiao came back from the giant tree, who thought of meeting old knowledge at the door. Zhao Xiaochun is Du Yan's wife and an old man at Linshan Base. They can also be regarded as companions for many years.

Linyou thought of what Lu Jiayao told her before she left.

After Du Yan's death, Zhao Xiaochun took Du An'an and Lu Jiayao away, and now Du An'an is not with her, so there is no need to ask what happened. but……

Linyou glanced at the baby in Zhao Xiaochun's arms. She was curiously looking left and right with her golden eyes open. She looked into Linyou and grinned and hid in Zhao Xiaochun's arms.

Zhao Xiaochun touched the child's fine hair and raised his head to look at Linyou: "It seems that you are doing well...If Du Yan knew, he would be somewhat comforted."

Although she was not young in the past, her family was at least energetic. Nowadays, the dust on the face has not been wiped clean, the hair hanging down is still blood stained, it looks haggard, only the turbulent light in the blue eyes seems to hold a breath.

Linyou didn't know what to do, and simply asked, "Sister Zhao, did you come to me specifically?"

Zhao Xiaochun's appearance at the gate of the courtyard was obviously waiting for others. When he saw them, especially Xiao Xiao's appearance, not only did he not panic, but he was relieved.

Linyou guessed that Zhao Xiaochun might have met Lu Jiayao later, and only after hearing her news.

"...Yes."

Zhao Xiaochun admitted. She closed her eyes and suddenly stood up with her child on the bench and knelt towards Linyou.

"Sister Zhao!? What are you doing?" Linyou was taken aback and quickly let go.

Zhao Xiaochun looked up and looked at her with a sincere look: "Grapefruit, the previous thing is that I'm sorry for you."

"You actually know that, when An An was sick, although your big brother Du was embarrassed and never thought of throwing you away... I forced him. I said he would not go, I took An An with me, and I couldn't take it An An's life bet on one. But I did such a thing, you should blame me, it should be..."

Lin You didn't expect her to mention the old things again at this time, and she was silent for a moment: "...all passed. Sister Zhao, you get up, there is no need to do this."

Linyou didn't have the enthusiasm to pursue the past.

They met at the Linshan base and walked with them for nearly two more years. They did not know how many times they faced each other in life and death. It was so easy to figure out where they were. Later, they abandoned her in order to treat her daughter, and seriously it was not wrong. Linyou was not entangled at that time, and now...not even thinking about it.

Linyou's gaze passed through the door of the hall and looked at Xiao Xiao who changed the gardening shears to cut the leaves in the courtyard. The orange sun shrouded her, and the white hair hanging on her shoulders looked warm.

Lin Yu's heart is also a warm color like falling glow.

Zhao Xiaochun still said: "In any case, after all, I can't be sorry for you, or your sister... if you have anger in your heart, you can do whatever you want. Your big brother Du is a person who is emotional and loyal, he remembers Your sister’s words, these two years have taken you around the remaining bases, just for the glimmer of hope. I... are not like them, they are not as good as them."

"It really doesn't have to be this way." Lin You smiled bitterly, "Sister Zhao, you are the same as before..."

Zhao Xiaochun was stunned.

Lin You said: "I don't need you to apologize and demean yourself, and I don't have to remember the past. If you have something to ask me for help, just say it. I can't refuse it if I can.

She thought that Zhao Xiaochun wouldn't take a child here for a walk to reminisce.

"..."

After a while, she stood up and looked at Linyou deeply: "...Thank you."

Linyou didn't speak. Zhao Xiaochun was much more direct this time. She looked down and patted the ignorant baby in her arms: "Grapefruit, I hope...you can adopt this child."

"adoption……"

Linyou is not too surprised. She guessed that the matter should be related to the child, but she didn't expect such a request, and frowned slightly: "I just wanted to ask, Sister Zhao, what's going on with this child?"

Zhao Xiaochun said: "You should have heard Lu Jiayao said. After Du Yan disappeared, I took An'an with the rest of the Pujiang base, and later dispersed with them in the battle. It didn't take long for An'an to..."

She stopped, and the child in her arms pulled her hair, "ahhhh" twice.

Zhao Xiaochun recovered, squeezed her little hand, and exhaled: "After that, I went to the gathering place that Lu Jiayao and I talked about. It all went smoothly until a pregnant woman gave birth to her... This The child is less than two months old."

Lin You immediately responded: "But she looks... one year old."

"When she was just born, her body was no different from a normal child." Zhao Xiaochun said, "One day, I accidentally ate the crystal core of the mutant creature, and in a day, it has grown to the size it is now. And..."

She paused, unbuttoned the child's coat, and showed a bulging ball on her back.

Lin You opened his eyes slightly: "This is..."

The little baby was sitting on Zhao Xiaochun's arm, and he was cleverly playing with it, blinking and blinking. The dress behind her was lifted, revealing a pair of immature flesh wings, covered with soft black velvet, and there was a wound that had just healed at the root of the wing.

Zhao Xiaochun: "You see. Her father died under the claws of the mutant creatures of birds. When the mother discovered that her child had a pair of monster wings, it was unacceptable anyway. She wanted to tear off her wings. I want to kill her. I took her away and lived away from the gathering place."

At that time, the muddy nightmare she had had was no different from the walking dead. At night, when she heard the child's heart-breaking cry, she felt a shock and woke up from the trance.

Zhao Xiaochun lowered his eyes: "You know...An'an is like that."

Of course Linyou knows. After Duan An awakened, there was also alienation on her body, a pair of small horns, which was the first one she discovered.

"Why do you have to give the child to me again?" Lin Yu asked.

"...Because, I don't live long."

Zhao Xiaochun said, put the child on the table, roll up his sleeves to reveal the wound on his arm, and the black markings that extend all the way up. She smiled bitterly: "I got the zombie virus, and I can support you until now, thanks to the injection you used to delay the onset of the toxin."

"I live to the present, it's a pity to die, only care about this child, what should she do without parents? Yuzu, of the people I can think of, only you may be willing to raise her."

"..."

Linyou looked at the child sitting at the table. She was very clever, and was not disturbed when she was put down. She just looked around with those golden eyes, and smiled sweetly when she saw people.

Zhao Xiaochun begged her: "Grapefruit, you are unreasonable and reasonable. But I really have no one else to ask, nor can I bear her to let me die with me..."

Lin You sighed: "Sister Zhao, I said that, you don't have to do this."

"This matter is not a trivial matter after all," she looked to the courtyard, Xiao Xiao crouched on the ground to take care of the potted plants, and came to an end, the two looked at each other and smiled, her voice unconsciously became gentle, "I want to ask my Lover."

Zhao Xiaochun froze: "Love, you are..."

Linyou nodded.

"That's right...should." Zhao Xiaochun couldn't help but looked at Xiao Xiao, whispering, "She is... Lu Jiayao should have told you her identity. But Yuzu, I understand your choice... I think And no one will blame you."

"...Thank you, Sister Zhao."

Linyou walked out the door. Xiao Xiao blinked suspiciously, put down the garden shears and stood up: "Grapefruit, are you finished?"

"Almost." Linyou smiled, walked to her, and told her the whole story, "Sister Zhao wants to entrust the child to us, I want to ask your opinion."

Xiao Xiao looked at the house with surprise, and then looked at Linyou: "Yuzi, want to leave her."

Xiao Xiao saw her thoughts and there was no doubt in her tone. However, Linyou shook her head gently: "Bringing a child is not as simple as raising a fortune. I wanted to leave her out of sympathy, but Xiao Xiao, I don't want you to worry about me, just consider whether you want it or not."

The lucky man who was innocently shouted raised his head: "Mi Ao?"

"...But now, I just want to think about grapefruit."

Xiao Xiao lowered his head, gently touched Linyou's lips, and smiled slightly: "If the grapefruit thinks about it, just stay. I will help take care of it, that is, me and the grapefruit's child, right?"

"..."

Lin You squinted, critically criticizing: "It's a big deal. I don't think you've ever taken a child before you can say such a thing..."

"Well, Sister Yuzu taught me." Xiao Xiao looked at her with a frown.

Linyou couldn't hold back the break, and sighed with a smile: "...well, our children."

When she repeated this sentence, her heart was filled with a wonderful light fluttering feeling, as if falling into a layer of cotton candy-like clouds, she couldn't help raising her lips.

Since it was so decided, Linyou responded to Zhao Xiaochun and asked her the child's name.

Zhao Xiaochun said: "If you don't have a name, you can get one."

She carried the zombie virus on her body, and after leaving the children to them, she left. Before leaving, she gave Linyou a stern look: "Another person who controls the beast tide, Yuzu, I saw him...you have to be careful."

This sentence is unclear. Lin You froze for a moment, and just wanted to ask clearly. The violent wind blew around him, and Zhao Xiaochun's figure had gone away by the wind, leaving only small black spots.

The child held by Xiao Xiao looked at that direction motionlessly.

Xiao Xiao didn't hear the sound, but she lowered her head to realize she was crying, put away her nails and carefully wiped away her tears.

The child lifted his watery eyes and looked at her for a while, and immediately cried out, "Woo Woo", stretched out his hands to embrace the zombie king's paw, and took a bite.

"..."

Xiao Xiao was shocked. She had just learned to hold her child, and she was very clawed at this soft stuff, and she could not deal with her by means of dealing with lucky things. She suddenly stalemate.
