"Old sister? Why are you calling my brother today? Haha."
When cousin Xu Xiangyang's voice came from the other end of the phone, Chu Qianxun couldn't control herself, and her eyes turned red for a moment.
Could it be that after being reborn back to a young body, even the lacrimal glands have degenerated back to their original shape
Chu Qianxun remembered that she hadn't really shed tears for many years.
Of course, in times of hardship, taking advantage of your female identity and performing tears don't count.
"Brother Xiangyang, I have something to do with you." Chu Qianxun quickly controlled his emotions.
"Eh, eh, you said, bro, listen." Xu Xiangyang's seemingly casual but nervous voice came from the other end of the phone.
In the background, there is the noise of cooking in the kitchen, and a middle-aged man is talking: "Whose phone is it? Xun Xun is calling? Wife, Xun Xun is calling."
Then, there was a sound of tables and chairs colliding, and the other end of the phone became extremely quiet.
Chu Qianxun could imagine that at this moment, her aunt and uncle quickly squeezed in front of her cousin Xu Xiangyang's cell phone, and the family of three held their breaths and waited to listen to her junior.
More than a year ago, Chu Qianxun's parents were both killed in a car accident.
Chu Qianxun, who had just entered college at the time, could hardly accept this bad news.
She vented this grief very ignorantly to the only aunt's family who was really good to her.
Aunt's family economic conditions are not particularly good.
My uncle and cousin are guarding a small aluminum alloy shop in the community, and their income is bleak. On weekdays, guerrillas also receive some renovation work to subsidize the home.
My aunt is just an ordinary housewife.
After his parents died, he left Chu Qianxun a house and four or five hundred thousand in cash.
Some ill-intentioned relatives often whispered rumors in Chu Qianxun's ears, so Chu Qianxun felt that the various cares of the aunt's family were all for the sake of stealing the little property left by her parents.
Although after her parents left, her aunt and uncle helped her take care of her parents' funeral, and neatly handled many tedious procedures such as the inheritance of house property rights and the handover of inheritance for her.
But her head still couldn't turn around for a while. Always use a cold face to face these relatives who really love her.
The aunt's family attributed her yin and yang attitude to the fact that she hadn't come out of the grief of losing her parents. Instead of minding it, she felt more pity and love for her.
When the end came, the students in the dormitory were busy contacting their parents and relatives.
As an orphan, Chu Qianxun only received calls from two people.
"Xunxun, you, are you messy over there? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, aunt and uncle will pick you up."
"Xunxun, you stay at school and don't run around, brother will drive to Huacheng to find you."
This was the last time she heard her aunt and cousin talk.
In the chaotic years that followed, Chu Qianxun returned to Ludao after many twists and turns, but never found the aunt's family again.
This is her biggest regret so far.
"Hey, Xun Xun, why don't you speak? Where are you now?" My cousin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Chu Qianxun reacted from her memory. She raised her head and looked at the window full of potted plants in her aunt's house upstairs, and replied softly, "Of course I'm in the dormitory, cousin."
She really wanted to go upstairs and meet her cousin's family.
But she couldn't do it, she couldn't explain why she suddenly ran back from school.
At the same time, she has too much to do, and there is no extra time to delay.
Chu Qianxun looked down at his watch, it was 8:30 in the morning on March 18th.
There are four days left until the end of the world.
"It's such a cousin. I have a classmate who has a villa in Ludao and wants to install some aluminum alloy anti-theft doors and windows. I told him, please help me with my cousin." Chu Qianxun began to execute himself. s plan.
"Oh, Xunxun, can you still pick up the work for my brother? Okay, where's the address, I'll go back and have a look with my dad."
This villa was actually rented by Chu Qianxun after selling the house yesterday.
The owner of the villa was abroad and entrusted it to an intermediary. Chu Qianxun readily paid one month's rent, a deposit and an intermediary fee. And signed a three-year lease, the only requirement is to allow her to renovate and strengthen the doors and windows.
After the apocalypse broke out, since Ludao was a lonely island with a small population and relatively few monsters appeared on the island, the monsters that had not evolved outside the island in the early stage could not cross the sea.
There was a large group of troops stationed near Heron Island, and the troops that quickly reacted suppressed the monsters on the island with powerful firepower.
They blew up the bridge and brought the situation on Heron Island under control. It made the early Heron Island a paradise for survivors to take refuge. But also because of this, it led to the destruction of Heron Island in the later period.
Chu Qianxun also returned to Ludao in the early days of the doomsday outbreak. At that time, she and some survivors were arranged near a villa area.
She remembered that the law and order in this area had been relatively good in the early days of the apocalypse, and the residents who lived in it had never been driven out.
She planned to trick her cousin's family into that villa area and stay in the villa she rented.
She could keep them in the fortified house, at least for the moment the doomsday broke out.
"Cousin, you all go today. No, it's better to go now." Chu Qianxun did not give Xu Xiangyang much time to think about it, "This is not much work, just install aluminum alloy anti-theft windows for a few windows, and reinforce them. The gate, and a ring of anti-theft high-voltage wires on the fence of the yard, that’s all. The only requirement is to be fast. It must be done within four days.”
"Four days? Why in such a hurry?"
"Brother Xiangyang, in order to pick up the work for you, I slapped my chest in front of my classmates and made a package. You must go, I have collected the deposit for you, and I have received one hundred thousand. I will send the photo of the villa to look."
Xu Xiangyang still wanted to talk, but the phone over there has been hung up.
Then, his WeChat dinged, and it was Chu Qianxun who sent a few photos.
It was a two-story single-family villa with a high wall around it, and the entire villa added up to a dozen windows at most.
Finally, a screenshot of the text message that Chu Qianxun received a transfer of 100,000 yuan from so-and-so was attached. The date was yesterday.
Xu Xiangyang showed his father Xu Maocai the photos on his mobile phone, and the two discussed it.
Xu Maocai called Chu Qianxun: "Xunxun, you will think about your cousin and me, and my uncle is very happy. But our earning money is secondary, and the main uncle is still worried about your safety. I trust you, it's just that the work that your classmates asked for is a bit strange."
Speaking to this niece who was in the rebellious period, although Xu Maocai was an elder, he still carefully considered his tone, "Look, this villa is so grand, but the security windows they require are as long as they are tight and sturdy. It doesn't suit the decoration style of the villa at all. And the money is a little more, and the time is so tight, will this family have any problems? "
For this kind of question, Chu Qianxun figured out how to answer it early, and she moved out the senior Fu Guoxu, who had just been wronged by her for 100,000 yuan yesterday.
"Uncle, don't worry, my classmate's family is from the military background, and my grandfather is also the head of a certain military region. He is rooted in Miaohong, so there will be no problem. Maybe the leaders like this style of decoration?"
Xu Maocai felt relieved when he heard this. He has never been in contact with such high-level leaders. Maybe people really like this style.
With this order, even if he does enough work, he can earn more than 100,000 yuan, which is a lot of money.
What's more, the niece's deposit has been received first, so he can't lose the child's heart.
"That's okay, that's okay, my uncle will go back and have a look, and make sure to make the windows of your classmates' house strong."
"My classmate's parents are out of town, and the house here is unmanaged, and there is nothing in it. Uncle, you and your cousin arrived in the community, take your ID card and go directly to the property to get the key. My classmate has already explained your name to the property. ."
"Then let's go directly like this?"
Xu Mao is a loyal and honest person. Since he has taken up such a high-profit job, he also wants to start work earlier and make the job more beautiful.
"Well, you and your cousin bring materials, a cutting machine, and an electric welding machine over there. It's better to ask my aunt to go with you. It's a remote place and there's not much to eat. The water and electricity in the villa are all connected. You let my aunt go. I'll cook for you right there. Well, bring the quilt and sheets, and you can sleep there at night, the place is far away, so you don't have to run back and forth." Chu Qianxun looked at her watch again, "The only requirement is to hurry up, before the 22nd. It must be done."
"Okay, then I'll prepare the materials and I'll go over in a while."
Xu Maocai felt a little stunned. In his impression, this niece was quite introverted, how could she suddenly become so neat and tidy, and she didn't take a breath after the whole arrangement.
"Uncle, you remember, you must be as strong as possible."
"Hey, don't worry, Xunxun, you can't lose your share in front of your classmates. Not to mention that they pay so much money."
"By the way, uncle, after waiting for the money for four days, my classmates paid me the balance. I'll transfer it to you together? I'm still busy with exams these days. I don't want to make two trips to the bank in line."
Chu Qianxun didn't want to really give her uncle's house decoration money. At this time, the more money she had, the better.
After four days all money will be waste paper. But now she still needs to collect money by unscrupulous means in exchange for supplies.
Fortunately, her uncle trusted her very much.
The aunt on the side quickly grabbed the phone: "Xunxun, your exam is important, don't waste time queuing at the bank, it's fine to transfer money to your uncle any time, you have this material in your uncle's shop."
"All Worlds"
Chu Qianxun pursed her lips. She looked at the window of her aunt's house for a moment, and then hung up the phone.
She stood in the shadow of the corner of the community, and soon saw her uncle and cousin coming downstairs and entering their small shop, busy carrying long strips of aluminum alloy to the small pickup at home.
Chu Qianxun watched for a moment, resisted the desire to step forward, and left the community.
Now that she doesn't have the ability to protect the aunt's family, it doesn't make sense to stay here.
Reborn, she brought back neither the ability nor any golden finger.
The only advantage was the memory that remained in her mind.
After the apocalypse, the demons descended from the sky, and the human beings implanted with the demons, in addition to becoming monsters, may also become "saints".
To evolve into a saint with supernatural powers, Chu Qianxun has no shortcuts.
Only in the face-to-face battles with monsters time and time again can they obtain the opponent's demon species and become the first batch of human beings to make breakthroughs.
She knows that her aptitude is not very good, but ten years of doomsday life has taught her that escaping can only make her weaker.
The last time she fled from Huacheng to Ludao all the way, stumbled and stumbled, everything that will happen along the way is her current opportunity.
Chu Qianxun ate a large bowl of sand tea noodles from snacks to adults in an old-fashioned noodle shop.
She ate a spicy and fragrant seafood noodle with a sense of bitterness and hatred.
In another four days, the taste in this mouthful of memory will be hard to come by.
The grandma in charge couldn't help but tap the edge of the pot with an iron spoon and said, "Shui Zha (beautiful), sip slowly, if you don't have enough food, you can add noodles, and you won't charge for adding noodles."
Chu Qianxun lifted up his bulging cheeks: "Add, add one."
The plane back to Huacheng at 12 noon.
Chu Qianxun arrived at the airport early, she checked her watch, there was still an hour left.
She checked into the airport gym and started a small dose of fitness.
The physique of this body is really bad. If I can't run a few steps, I will start to pant. If I do a few more bends, stretches and squats, the muscles of my hands and feet start to be overwhelmed.
But no matter how unbearable it is, it's better than dying on the way to escape.
After Chu Qianxun was reborn yesterday, he would seize the spare time and do some physical exercise at any time.
She wanted to adapt her lack of exercise to her body as soon as possible, to get used to the great escape four days later.
When the plane arrived in Huacheng, Chu Qianxun, who had just got off the plane, received a call from his cousin.
"Xunxun, I've arrived at the villa, and the property has given me the key. It's really far from home, and my father called my mother too. Ask her to help. We plan to do the same as you said, these few days. Food and lodging are all settled here. I saw the amount of work and should be able to make it in time.”
"Okay, you can live with peace of mind. When you're done, take pictures for me to see. My classmates have no opinion after reading it. You can withdraw. By the way, there may be a lot of express delivery to the villa in the past few days. Cousin, please help to collect Just put it in the basement when you receive it."
Chu Qianxun, who was sitting in the taxi, explained while shopping on his mobile phone.
Rice, instant noodles, biscuits, generators…
She didn't even read the details, and within the range that the quantity was not too conspicuous, she desperately purchased all the necessities of life, and all the addresses were filled in the villa.
Walk the road you have traveled again, and if you can become a saint on the road, return to Heron Island.
Then she can arrange her future life with her aunt's family, avoid those dangerous people and things, and live a better life.
If she died on the road, then these materials can also support the aunt's family hiding in the villa for a period of time. It's also a way for her to be kind.
Chu Qianxun glanced at his watch.
18 at 3:00 pm.
She walked into a private lending center.
Everything is still within her plan.
There are still four days left before the end of the day.
