Chapter 136 - Are you here to steal loquats too? (1)

Dahua hesitated before giving up the piece under her paw and tried the one from Du Ruo. This time, she was able to bite through it.

Dahua expressed her satisfaction. This male servant was much better than the female servant.

She seemed to be really hungry. She polished off three pieces of dried sweet potato that had been soaked in hot water.

Bei Nuan didn't dare to let Du Ruo feed Dahua anymore. What if it upset her stomach?

Bei Nuan quietly opened the taskbar, but even after feeding a few pieces of dried sweet potato, it still showed 0 out 3 completed after Li Dahua's name.

The dried sweet potato tactic failed. What exactly did this cat want?

"What do you think she wants other than food?" Bei Nuan asked Du Ruo.

"You're not willing to help her find a boyfriend. Other than eating, there's only playing."

Du Ruo walked to the courtyard wall, firmly clutched a crested dog's tail grass, broke it off, and used the fluffy end  to tease Dahua.

"She won't play with you. She has a three-story playground at home -"

Bei Nuan saw Dahua tilting her head, suddenly standing up on its hind legs like a human, and happily playing with the crested dog's tail grass that Du Ruo was holding.

The princess was a cat after all.

Bei Nuan hastily pulled off a crested dog's tail grass and crouched down next to Du Ruo to tease her.

The princess alternated with swatting the left one and the right one and had a great time.

Unfortunately, even after she played with Li Dahua for a long time, the progress on the taskbar didn't change.

Did she really have to find a boyfriend for Dahua? Bei Nuan had a headache.

Suddenly, someone shouted from outside the courtyard, "Everyone, go to the top of the  mountain for a meeting. It's a request from the patriarchs."

Xiao Ji's mom came out and agreed to go. She pulled Bei Nuan along and called Du Ruo to come too. They went to the top of the mountain with the crowd.

Bei Nuan thought; no way? She caught up to the novel's plot again?

Bei Nuan asked Xiao Ji's mom, "Do you often have meetings here?"

Xiao Ji's mom answered, "There's always a few meetings every year. They're for collecting money to pave the roads and what not."

Anyways, go up to take a look.

At the top of the mountain, not far from Xie Yuanqing's rented place, there was an empty field with gray slate tiles. There was also a fountain next to it.

Everyone from Yao Zhen was probably here. Men, women, young, and old formed a dense mass of people. It felt like going to a meeting at a school.

Bei Nuan noticed Xie Yuanqing right away. He was standing by the fountain with several other people.

Bei Nuan guessed that those people were the patriarchs of several big families and the ones in charge of Yao Town. It was mentioned in the novel that there have been several large families in this town since ancient times.

After the zombie outbreak, everyone had gone up the mountain and moved into their ancestral homes. As soon as the town gate closed, it didn't take much effort to return to the governance model from a few hundred years ago, when clans ruled the town.

Xie Yuanqing's ancestor was a native of Yao Zhen. Although he didn't live in Yao Town, he had formed a strong relationship with the town and had a strong influence. He must have given the patriarchs some benefit to become part of the ruling class.

"We called everyone here today to make an announcement. Someone let an infected person from outside into our town last night and is hiding him. Has anyone seen anything suspicious?

Bei Nuan thought; the unexpected turn of events still led her to catch up to this incident after going up the mountain. It was because of this incident that the novel's Bei Nuan had gotten injured.

The town's gate was guarded by the locals of Yao Town, and the rules for entry were stable. They only accepted locals and relatives of locals. Everyone had to be checked for injuries when they came in, no exceptions.

Even so, there were always weak points. The second son of the Luo family was one of the guards. He had secretly let in his injured older brother last night. Moreover, his older brother had been bitten by a zombie. He just hadn't mutated yet.

As soon as he mutated, Yao Town, this utopia, was doomed. They had to find the oldest son of the Luo family, but he was hidden too well. The townspeople had searched everywhere and hadn't found him.

In the novel, they hadn't been able to find him either. They judged the second son of the Luo family and published him in public. He was beaten so badly that the novel's Bei Nuan couldn't stand it. She rushed forward to try to protect him and was hit hard on the waist.

So had she caught back up to the original timeline? It didn't take her long to figure out why. The team in the novel didn't have strong fighting power.  In addition, they didn't have pocket space. They had to keep collecting supplies along the way, and their progress was much slower than the current team's.

Although the team had fallen behind for a few days at the beginning, they had been unobstructed after that and caught up to the timeline of the plot. They ended up going up the mountain at almost the same time as their novel counterparts.

Sure enough, fate couldn't be avoided.
