Ando's parents were soon surrounded by a group of uncles and aunts, and began to chat animatedly. They kept pointing at Jiang Chuan while talking, and then appreciative smiles appeared on the faces of the old men and women.
Of course, Jiang Chuan completely ignored this. It would be better to say that his attention was not on the festival at all.
Of course, the same is true for Ando Haruyuki who is beside him.
Every step was very difficult. Ando Haruyuki's cheeks were completely red and sweat began to seep out of his forehead. He didn't know if it was because the weather was too hot or for some other reason.
Of course Jiang Chuan also knew that Ando Haruyuki was sweating, but his focus was not on her smooth and white forehead, but on the pair of high heels on her feet.
"Honey, my feet are really hurting..."
Ando Haruyuki's brows were tightly knitted together. The short journey of less than ten minutes from the Ando family to the shrine had already pushed her to the limit of her endurance.
However, Jiang Chuan has different opinions on this.
"What are you talking about? The festival has just begun."
Seeing Ando Haruyuki staggering, Jiang Chuan did not stand idly by, but took two steps forward and extended an arm to Ando Haruyuki.
"Hey, just hold me and walk."
Ando Haruyuki grabbed Jiang Chuan's arm as if he had seen a life-saving straw.
Attracted by the lively atmosphere of the festival, the other six members of the Ando family ran away like the wind, leaving Ando Haruyuki and Jiang Chuan behind.
Now they were like this, one person holding on while the other took small, weak steps. Every time they took a step, the crisp sound of the high heels hitting the ground was mixed with a faint bubbling sound...
It really makes Jiang Chuan unable to use the bathroom heater.
"Hey, look, those two over there are the young lady from the Ando family and the young man from China."
"Is that Mr. Jiang Chuan who has done a lot of good things in town recently?"
"That's right. I heard that this year's summer festival can be held as usual, thanks to Mr. Jiang Chuan's generosity. We have good food to eat and fun to watch today."
"This is truly a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!"
As the two walked slowly at the festival, they could hear bursts of discussion from time to time around them, and Ando Haruyuki also realized that many people's eyes were now fixed on them.
Then, has my abnormality been discovered by others?
When Ando Haruyuki thought of this, his legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
The intense shame and irresistible excitement washed away her sanity like a tide, making her almost unable to breathe.
Jiang Chuan saw that Ando Haruyuki's appearance was becoming more and more strange, and realized that she seemed to have reached the limit of what she could bear.
So when Ando Haruyuki was about to fall, Jiang Chuan simply carried him on his back and walked out of the festival.
…………
Follow the road leading to the shrine from the town a little further in and you will see the small river flowing down from the waterfall on Mount Dading.
Jiang Chuan put Ando Haruyuki by the river and reached out to help her take off her shoes. Then he sat by the river and let Ando Haruyuki, who was already a little exhausted, lie in his arms.
Ando Haruyuki dipped her feet into the icy cold river water. The unprecedented sense of openness made her squint her eyes in comfort.
"Thank you for cooperating with me in doing this."
As Jiang Chuan spoke, he reached out and ruffled Ando Haruyuki's soft hair that was filled with a faint fragrance. The latter also revealed a gentle smile, raised his head and kissed Jiang Chuan on the chin.
"Do I need to thank you for telling me? Besides, I'm used to your perverted hobbies..."
"So your hobby is healthier."
"It's not me who said that, it's you who said that."
The two of them were bickering while admiring the late summer night sky by the river. Behind them came the sounds of a lively festival and the burning flames made the entire forest in front of them glow slightly.
Jiang Chuan felt an incomparable peace.
He even had an illusion that this was not the zombie apocalypse, and that he was just a young man who was born and raised in a small town in the countryside, with his childhood sweetheart by his side, and the two of them were about to enter the next stage of their lives, get married and have children...
Maybe this is not a bad idea?
Ando Haruyuki's breathing in his arms gradually calmed down. Because of the exhaustion just now and the cool and comfortable feeling of the river water, she was almost falling asleep after relaxing in Jiang Chuan's arms.
Sleep here?
That's not good. Not to mention whether the summer night wind would make her catch a cold, this is after all a riverside place, so there are still a lot of mosquitoes and other insects.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuan stood up, held Ando Haruyuki's big drum with both hands, hugged her to himself like an octopus, and then went home.
------------
When he returned home, Jiang Chuan was a little surprised to find that Nan Qianxia was also at home.
"Why are you back so early?"
Jiang Chuan carried the already sleeping Ando Haruyuki into the house and closed the door behind him.
Because it was already night, everyone would have gone back to their rooms to rest at this time, and the room and living room were also pitch black. Jiang Chuan had no choice but to put Ando Haruyuki on the sofa, then took out a flashlight from his pocket and placed it upside down on the coffee table.
Under the effect of diffuse reflection principle, the whole room suddenly became much brighter.
"I didn't really want to go, but Mrs. Hayakawa pulled me over."
Nan Qianxia leaned against the floor-standing bed, looking at the bonfires at the shrine in the distance, and said softly: "At times like this, the more you want to pretend that you are living in the past, the more difficult it is for people to accept reality. Why don't they understand?"
"..."
Jiang Chuan found that he really had no way to refute Nan Qianxia's words.
His farm space brought him food and clothing, and perhaps comfort tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but there was no way to bring him and those around him back to the past.
Return to those brightly lit city streets, those bustling shopping malls, and parks and playgrounds filled with laughter.
They will no longer be able to open their mobile phones and start a 5V5 game at any time, nor will they be able to experience and start any open world game that requires an internet connection. There will not be any new movies or TV series, and those unfinished novels and animations will never be finished.
For such a long time, everyone has been deliberately ignoring this matter. In fact, they did not ignore it, but they already knew that there was no way to salvage it and did not want to think about it.
Nan Qianxia is like this, and so is Jiang Chuan.
However, Jiang Chuan is not a person who likes EMO. When faced with things that he cannot help, his attitude is often to let things take their own course.
At least his life now has a lot more than before.
"Since you don't want to go to the festival, go to bed early, melancholy girl."
Jiang Chuan smiled and picked up Ando Haruyuki from the sofa again.
"Mind your own business, you perverted monkey."
"Don't be so rude. Do you really think I can't do anything to you just because you're pregnant?"
"If you're so anxious to greet your daughter, I don't mind."
"…Go to sleep!"
……
After settling Ando Haruyuki in the room, Jiang Chuan returned to the corridor and found Minami Chinatsu taking a shower in the bathroom.
Jiang Chuan naturally had no intention of resting now. The other five people were still wandering around the festival, and he couldn't just leave them there.
It was still the same reason. Before the summer festival tonight, Jiang Chuan had always had a bad feeling about this night, otherwise he would not have been so eager to start deploying the straw army.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Chuan pushed the door open again.
However, when he just walked out of the house and was about to return to the ceremony in the direction of the bonfire, a dark figure suddenly pounced on him from the darkness!
Jiang Chuan was startled and almost punched the shadow, but luckily he saw the other person's face clearly in time...
wrong.
What's the situation?
Jiang Chuan looked at Akiyama Shinsuke, who fell into his arms, his body covered in blood, and his eyes suddenly became extremely shocked.
"Shinsuke?! What happened???"
"Jiang Chuan...Brother..."
Akiyama Shinsuke looked up, and Jiang Chuan could see clearly that there was a bloody bullet hole on one of his arms!
"They...they are coming!"
Chapter 196 Uninvited
Why does this guy Shinsuke always get shot for no apparent reason?
This thought flashed through Jiang Chuan's mind.
However, he also knew that danger was approaching, but he couldn't just ignore Akiyama Shinsuke in front of him.
"Where are they?"
"Town... the intersection outside the town. No, I'm afraid they've already entered..."
"Okay, take a break."
After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he knocked him out with a knife, then picked up his belt and quickly returned to the living room of his house, put him on the sofa, then went to the bathroom door and knocked on it several times.
"Chinatsu, stop washing! It's an emergency!"
There was no time to waste, so Jiang Chuan explained the situation quickly in the shortest possible words, asked Minami Chinatsu to wake up Ando Haruyuki first, then he helped Akiyama Shinsuke stop the bleeding alone, and went to the festival alone to bring the other six people back home.
After saying that, she did not forget to take out a straw doll from her pocket and placed it at the bathroom door so that she could use it to save her life at the critical moment.
The next second, Minami Qianxia's response came from the bathroom.
"okay, I get it!"
So Jiang Chuan didn't dare to delay any longer and rushed out the door at full speed.
The situation was urgent, and Jiang Chuan had no time to go to the festival to look for people like a headless fly. The most important thing now was to drive out the invaders.
That's right, invaders.
After seeing the bullet hole on Akiyama Shinsuke's arm, if Jiang Chuan still couldn't guess what danger the town was facing, then he would be very stupid.
Either it's an invasion by wanderers, or...
Damn the Countermeasures Bureau.
The best defense is offense. Kill all invading enemies and the town will naturally be safe.
So Jiang Chuan stepped out of the door and took out the command flag immediately. With a command, the thousand scarecrows hidden on the slope in the backyard of Ando's house began to move silently.
A series of dark shadows followed Jiang Chuan, surging towards the intersection outside the town like a tide.
--------
"boom."
The last person who blocked the way was shot in the head, and Okabe came to Shimizu Shiho's side.
"Captain, we have finished cleaning up. Do you want to go in?"
Shimizu Shiho did not answer, but looked at the fire and bustle on the other side of the town in the distance, frowning slightly.
"What are these people doing? Are they some kind of extremist church?"
Hearing this question, Okabe also looked in that direction, and after a while he replied, "I'm afraid not. It looks like they are probably holding a summer festival."
"Festival??"
Shimizu Shiho was not surprised by this answer.
What kind of year is this? How can people in this small town still be in the mood to hold a festival?
"Captain, we saw it on the way here. This town is located in a remote area and is extremely hidden. There are almost no signs of zombie activity nearby. And it looks like this is an agricultural town. I think... the people here are most likely still living the same life as before the disaster."
"It's really a big fish..."
Shimizu Shiho couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The address of this place was pried out from the mouth of a bespectacled man who was captured by accident. It turned out to be a gathering place where so many survivors gathered...
"Since it's so difficult, then don't just stand there like an idiot. Let's follow the old rules. Kill all the men and take all the women away."
The survivors in the city have basically been cleared out, and the investigation department within the bureau was completely disbanded a month ago and incorporated into the major task forces.
During this period of time, the main task of the task force was to go out and clear out the mother body, but because the mother body was often born in various gathering places of survivors, it gradually changed from clearing out the mother body to clearing out the gathering places of survivors. The original task of the investigation department has now become their job.
Under Shimizu Shiho's command, the convoy slowly moved towards the interior of the town.
