The people who come are not necessarily good or bad people.

But at this time when all order has collapsed, caution is the most basic element of survival.

Gao Yuan does not want to abandon this refuge. If the person who comes is a good person, Gao Yuan will politely drive him away. But if the person who comes tries to plunder his supplies, Gao Yuan will take all means to protect himself.

In fact, what Luo Xingyu said was a good idea. Let her show up first to distract the intruder, and then Gao Yuan would jump out and attack them. This way, the chances of success would undoubtedly be greater.

It's just that Gao Yuan is very doubtful about Luo Xingyu's current physical condition.

"I'm fine, I'm really fine. I don't want to be alone anymore. Brother, I don't want to run away. Besides, even if I run away now, I'll die, so we might as well go together."

Luo Xingyu looked very weak, but her expression was very firm.

Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said softly: "Follow me."

There is actually not much difference between letting Luo Xingyu escape alone now and letting her die. In this case, it is better to work together to fight.

Gao Yuan took Luo Xingyu to the back of the outermost house at the entrance of the village.

The person who could be seen from a distance was much closer at this time, but there was still a distance of five to six hundred meters. Gao Yuan didn't know if the other person had noticed him, but judging from the person's slow walking posture, he probably didn't notice him.

his.

"You hide here, I'll hide somewhere, wait and see who is coming. If he doesn't look like a good person, we will control the other person first and then talk to him. No, no matter who it is, first

Get him under control."

Luo Xingyu whispered: "Do you want to do it directly?"

Gao Yuan thought about it and felt that this matter was actually a bit difficult to handle.

Although it is the end of the world, you can't just kill people when you see them, right? If it's just an ordinary person who is fleeing, and they don't have any ill intentions, but they go up and shout to kill, then even an ordinary person has to resist.

After thinking for a while, Luo Xingyu said: "I'll go out first. If the person who comes sees that I am a girl and has evil intentions, then he is a bad person. You can attack him from behind. If he is polite,

He doesn't look like a bad person. Come out and talk to him again."

"That's okay. Just be careful and don't get too far forward. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you in time. That's the deal."

After discussing the countermeasures, Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu hid in the back corner of the house respectively. Gao Yuan was in the front and Luo Xingyu was in the back. The people coming later would definitely pass by this old house, so it would not be wrong to hide here and ambush them.

.

Holding the knife in his left hand and the ax in his right hand, he stood far away behind the house, just waiting for someone to approach.

He could hear the footsteps, and Gao Yuan didn't dare to look out anymore. He was afraid of being discovered by the other party. But when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, Luo Xingyu finally walked out when he was approaching the house.

"Stop! Ahem, who are you!"

Luo Xingyu shouted, and Gao Yuan's hands trembled slightly, which was caused by being too nervous.

"Well, you...you are a girl?"

It was a man, and his voice sounded very surprised. What surprised Gao Yuan was that the man who suddenly appeared sounded surprised.

No, this is very bad.

"What are you doing? Don't come over!"

Luo Xingyu shouted, and Gao Yuan felt panicked, so he stopped waiting, turned around and rushed out.

I ran around the corner of the room and saw the back of the person coming.

The person who came was originally wearing a green military coat, but at this time the military coat had been taken off and he was holding it on his left arm, and his right hand was holding a stick and leaning on the ground.

I don't know yet whether he is a bad guy or a good guy, but judging from Luo Xingyu's horrified reaction, Gao Yuan judged this person to be a bad guy.

Gao Yuan didn't make a sound, he raised his ax and struck the person on the back of the head.

Show no mercy and show no mercy. Since there is hostility, you must kill someone.

The person in front of Gao Yuan turned around. Although Gao Yuan didn't make a sound, the person in front of him seemed to have eyes on the back of his head.

Turning around, he threw forward the coat he held in his left hand, and the stick he held in his right hand straightened up.

Gao Yuan held the knife in his left hand. He wanted to use his left hand to push the coat away, but the ax in his right hand struck down without any delay.

But the stick stabbed Gao Yuan directly in the chest.

The pain was so severe that he stopped breathing. The ax he swung down with his right hand fell weakly, and his left hand was unable to reach out to block the coat.

The severe pain made Gao Yuan's eyes flash with stars, and he couldn't see anything at all for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yuan felt his right hand loosen, but his ax fell.

And Gao Yuan didn't even know how he dropped his axe.

When Gao Yuan finally could see with his eyes, he saw that the person in front of him had turned around and looked at Luo Xingyu with a stick.

"Ah! Run!"

Luo Xingyu's face was red, she was holding a knife, her speed was so slow that there was no threat, but she still rushed towards the person in front of Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan didn't know where he got the strength. He handed the knife from his left hand to his right hand, gritted his teeth, ran forward without saying a word, raised the knife and stabbed the person in front of him.

First there was a snap, and the knife held in Gao Yuan's right hand was hit with a stick, and the knife fell down with the sound.

Immediately afterwards, the man turned around again. He just stretched out the stick, pushed Luo Xingyu's hand outward, and then separated Luo Xingyu's legs. Luo Xingyu immediately lost his balance and stumbled forward and fell to the ground.

But Luo Xingyu did not fall to the ground. As she threw herself forward, someone grabbed her from the back.

So strong, so awesome.

Gao Yuan was desperate.

"Don't move! Don't move at all. What are you doing!"

Gao Yuan stopped and waited for the person in front of him. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him who beat him to pieces was an old man.

His hair was gray, and his beard that hadn't been shaved for a long time was also gray, and he was actually wearing a military uniform.

Old-fashioned military uniforms, military green uniforms, without collar badges, but for some reason, Gao Yuan felt a lot more at ease for a while.

"What do you two young people want to do?"

The old man's tone sounded very angry. Gao Yuan stood on the spot. He took a step back to the side of the fallen ax and shouted: "Let her go!"

Luo Xingyu struggled desperately, and she yelled: "You are stupid! Run! Run!"

"Don't move! Aren't you two careless? If I wanted to do anything, you would have died long ago!"

After shouting angrily, the old man pulled Luo Xingyu up, straightened up Luo Xingyu who was leaning forward, and said loudly: "Stand here and talk! If it weren't for the two of you,

Unlike the bad guys, none of you can stand now, so tell me first, why did you sneak attack me!"

The old man let go of Luo Xingyu, but he looked so majestic that Gao Yuan didn't dare to act rashly.

"What do you want to do to her!"

Gao Yuan knew that he was no match, but he still possessed himself and quickly picked up the ax. Then he waved to Luo Xingyu, who was now free, and said, "Come here quickly."

Luo Xingyu immediately arrived behind Gao Yuan. She picked up the knife first, but after picking up the knife, she whispered: "This... old man doesn't seem to be a bad person."

Gao Yuan still looked at the old man, who said angrily: "What do I want to do? I saw that my daughter was freezing. I was sweating all over from walking, so I just wanted to give her my coat."

Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu were stunned for a moment, then Gao Yuan turned his head slightly, looked at Luo Xingyu and said, "What did he do? Why are you shouting?"

Luo Xingyu whispered: "He suddenly took off his coat. I was so scared and nervous... that I yelled, but I didn't let you... I didn't let you do anything."

Gao Yuan said helplessly: "I didn't come out as soon as I heard you shout."

The old man's face softened a little, and he shook his head, but he still said angrily: "You two young people are so shameless. Fortunately, it was me. If it had been anyone else, I would have been harmed by you!"

Gao Yuan said sarcastically: "We did this because we were afraid of accidentally hurting a good person. This is just a bit, a bit of a misunderstanding..."

Luo Xingyu said angrily: "Even if you have good intentions, you should say it first. You take off your coat when you come up. I don't know what you want to do. It's not like you don't know what the situation is now. If we encounter bad people, we

What should I do if I’m killed?”

The old man thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "I should tell you first. Who can tell the difference between good and bad people in this world now?"

It does seem to be a misunderstanding.

Gao Yuan whispered: "How did you find this place? What do you want to do here?"

The old man looked at Gao Yuan and said seriously: "This is my home."

"Your home? You're talking nonsense. There was no one here decades ago."

The old man said calmly: "But I lived here decades ago, because this is my hometown."

It sounds quite reasonable. Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said: "Your hometown? But why are you coming back now?"

"Since this is my hometown, of course I want to return to my roots when I come back."

The old man was carrying a rucksack. The rucksack was placed on the ground before he took off his coat. At this time, he put the wooden stick aside, squatted down, opened the rucksack, and took out a box from inside.

That's the urn.

"These are the ashes of my wife. I want to bury her in the ancestral grave. When I die one day, I will die here. Do you believe what I say now?"

Now that Gao Yuan believed it 100%, he no longer hesitated and whispered to the old man: "So that's it. I'm really sorry. We misunderstood. Do you plan to stay here?"

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, I must be living here. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. You don't have to be afraid. It seems that you are living here too, so let's just be neighbors. Speaking of which, this village has been empty for decades."

I didn’t expect to have a neighbor when I came back, which is pretty good.”

Is it really good to be a neighbor?
