Chapter 852 Daryl Dixon (6)
After all this trouble, Maggie doesn't want to leave Beth in the short term.
Beth is only 16 years old, only four years older than Sofia. When something like this happens, she definitely needs the company of her family.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you anymore."
Yun Ci waved her hand indifferently: "This is not an important matter. I'll take my time. Beth needs your company more now."
Yun Ci quietly left the room, leaving this space to Maggie and the others.
In the kitchen, Carol was cutting the meat according to what Yunci had said before. Sophia had gone out and was sitting near the RV reading a book.
"What's going on?" Carol asked.
"not bad."
Yun Ci washed her hands and joined in the busy work.
Two pots.
A steamed dumpling filled with vegetables.
Another stewed deer bone soup.
Cut the venison into large slices, marinate it with Yunci's special sauce, set it aside, and take it out to dry tomorrow.
The venison is cut into large pieces for braising.
The chopped venison is used to make sesame cakes.
Part of the flour can be baked into a large roll, which can be used to wrap the braised venison or to tear into pieces and soak in hot water.
Keep the rest for now.
Today's dinner is wild vegetables and mushrooms cooked in deer bone soup, served with flatbread wrapped with braised deer meat and wild onions.
Yun Ci, who had already arranged the menu, went to a place where there were wild onions and picked all the onions there - of course, she picked them while leaving the roots.
Rick and Sean returned empty handed.
They brought the people back again.
Rick was not going to let him go and wanted to deal with him himself, but was persuaded by Dale.
Yun Ci did not get involved in their team's affairs. While they were discussing whether to kill the venison, Yun Ci was turning over her dried venison in the yard.
She just gave a reminder while eating.
"When you were killing zombies earlier, the noise of gunfire was quite loud. After that, there were slightly more zombies in the woods."
Several people understood what this meant.
They all looked at Rick, the backbone of the team.
"Here will be..."
Rick chewed the burrito and swallowed it before saying, "We need to be prepared."
Carol, who was sitting next to Yunci, said, "Xiaoci, do you want to stay here for a few days? If the zombies really come... it will be very dangerous in the forest."
"The meat needs to be dried for a while, so I'm definitely going to keep it."
Maggie sipped her soup and joked, "Xiaoci always stays a few more days every time she comes, saying that she can relax and get a good night's sleep."
Yun Ci raised the corners of her lips: "Sleeping outside at night is definitely not as peaceful as sleeping indoors."
Hershel looked at the burrito and said, "Before, you were trapped by the zombies... Now, if you want, there is a room for you to live in the farm."
Yun Ci nodded and shook her head: "Of course I am willing, but... I still want to clear as many zombies as possible. If I live here, it will be more convenient than living in the woods."
She sometimes uses her voice to attract zombies to her, which can be dangerous if they are near her residence.
"If you don't mind, I hope we can still maintain the relationship we have now." Yun Ci smiled, "Please give me a room where I can sleep peacefully once in a while."
"Oh, of course, please feel free to come. You are always welcome." Hershel said, "Maggie will always clean up the room you live in."
The originally tense atmosphere due to the negotiations became somewhat relaxed due to Yunci and Maggie's jokes.
Rick finally couldn't do it.
It wasn't because Carl went to see the execution that he couldn't do it.
He just... suddenly realized that he had led his son astray.
He made Carl become...indifferent to other people's lives.
He taught Carl that he could decide the life and death of others at will.
The fire flickered.
Yun Ci looked up at the night sky, which was dotted with stars and was very beautiful.
She noticed that Dale left the table quietly.
Yun Ci looked in the direction where Dell left, and while no one was paying attention, she got up and followed him.
"Mr. Dale."
Dell, who was walking forward with his head down, stopped when he heard the call.
"Miss Yunci?"
"Mind chatting?"
Dale hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Yun Ci calmly took Dale to a different direction and stopped at the edge of the camp.
"I understand your belief that decisions about other people's lives should not be made lightly."
Dell looked at Yun Ci and knew that she had something else to say.
"It's just...Mr. Dale, the world has indeed changed."
"Chaos makes people no longer subject to legal and moral checks and balances."
Yun Ci picked up a handful of grass and played with it, saying, "Actually, I envy you. At this time, you can say such words, which means you haven't met such a person yet. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing."
"The world will obviously get worse and worse in the future."
"That would be the world you mentioned before, a world you don't want to live in."
Dale can be said to be the most "human" representative among the protagonists.
Yun Ci doesn't hate people like this.
She also felt that Dale's death was... a little cruel.
Having your stomach ripped open or something like that… it gives me phantom pain just thinking about it.
So if it’s something that’s easy to do, just lend a hand.
Dale fell into deep thought.
He could actually imagine it, but he had not experienced it himself, so he was unwilling to believe it.
"He's just a child. He may not be able to..."
"Maybe he will. Then you will be facing 30 armed men. This time we are outnumbered. Maybe you will face the dead bodies of your own people."
Yun Ci stopped talking here, waved her hand and walked towards Daryl who was watching not far away.
"this is for you."
Daryl spread his hands blankly, and then a straw kitten fell into his palms.
Yun Ci waved her hand, picked up her shovel, and walked in the direction where Dell was originally heading.
Daryl gently picked up the straw kitten between his two fingers, shook it away in disgust, and then put it into his pocket with great care.
This kitten is solid and not afraid of being crushed.
Daryl quickly caught up with Yunci.
"Where are you going?"
"I heard a familiar sound, it was close, so I went to deal with it."
The night was very dark, with only a small amount of moonlight shining on the ground.
Yun Ci's skin is very white, which can be clearly seen in this scene.
She is very outstanding and beautiful.
Daryl thought it was true that she had been a star before the apocalypse.
But what impressed him most was not her face, but the small mole at the corner of her mouth.
Daryl's eyes unconsciously fell on the small mole, but in Yunci's opinion -
"You want to kiss?"
Daryl was startled: "What?"
The corners of Yun Ci's lips slowly rose, and the small mole that she had specially tattooed because of her interest in this life moved with her expression.
"You kept staring at my mouth."
"——What stupid things are you talking about?!"
Yunci felt it was more like that.
She felt that Daryl was like a stray cat, very powerful and arrogant, with a sharp tongue and wanted to bite you from time to time, but when he really bit you would find that it was just a bluff.
"How cute."
Yun Ci commented with a smile.
He held the shovel tightly in his hand and shoveled it hard into the head of the zombie lying on the ground.
——Dangerous and beautiful.
With fatal temptation...
Daryl was speechless for a moment.
