'I don't want to die yet - no matter how difficult it is, I will never commit suicide - I once promised my wife, who will protect me from bugs, that I will live until I can see the sun again... This is my answer to Her last promise! "
Suddenly, a trembling voice came from the corner. It was a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and his face covered with chilblains. The chilblains had cracked and yellow pus leaked out. It can be imagined that this man was crying every time. The muscles in my face tingle unbearably even when I move them.
One of his hands has been severed at the elbow, bitten off by a sickle beetle...
It was precisely because of a broken hand that this middle-aged man was so depressed that he was mixed up in this refugee team. After all, other teams were unwilling to team up with him, let alone give a share of food to this useless man!
"Old Liang, what's the point of continuing to live and breathe?" the old man sighed with a sad light in his cloudy eyes.
"Even if it doesn't make any sense, you can't die easily! People who commit suicide are all cowards! I have been a civil servant for half my life, and I have always obeyed the boss's words in the human resources department. A stable job is a stable job, but I have never been I didn’t have the right to speak of my own. My boss told me to go east, but I definitely didn’t dare to go west. I lived and waited for death for thirty years. I bought a house and a car, begged my wife and gave birth to a son... but none of this happened. No more, yes, no more... But I still have to live. I am no longer a civil servant with an iron rice bowl. Twenty disabled people are struggling in the ruins... But what about the disabled? The disabled can still live with dignity. , When I was healthy, I never resisted the leader or the tigress. Now, I will resist this cruel world. I believe...,... I will not fall down so easily!"
Lao Liang's words were impassioned. If it had been at a meeting, he would have received thunderous applause. However, the people in the entire kennel had long been numb and frightened like dead dogs by this world of cannibalism. I couldn’t muster any courage, so how could I resonate with Lao Liang’s words
"Old Liang...are you going to dig through the ruins again?"
"right!"
"But you only have one hand...can you turn it?"
"A hand is also a hand. In addition to hands, I also have legs, don't I?"
"But… "
"I dug out a box of cans in the ruins yesterday. I ate them all because I was so hungry. I'm sorry I didn't take them back to share with everyone... I plan to go out early today. I should be able to dig out more from morning to night. It’s better to have more food. The place where the cans were dug out may have been a warehouse in the past, and there must be a lot of steamed buns buried underneath... "
ah? real? "
Just when everyone in the kennel was surprised, Lao Liang's face suddenly changed, he held his stomach and groaned in pain. His body covered with filth began to roll on the ground, sweating like rain.
Seeing Lao Liang in such pain, the old man suddenly understood and smiled bitterly: "The steamed buns Lao Liang ate... must have gone bad for a long time... He had a bad stomach..."
Hearing the old man's words, everyone in the kennel sighed. The enthusiasm that was originally ignited by the good news of "a lot of steamed buns" was completely extinguished. Although the canned food was good, it was just Lao Liang's guess after all, and it could not be done accurately. Moreover, it is seriously spoiled. It would be terrible if after eating it, I would roll around on the floor like Lao Liang and sweat profusely in pain...
Lao Liang had been in pain for a long time and finally had no choice but to hold his throat with his hands to make himself vomit out last night's canned beef. Only then did he feel a little better. Otherwise, he would have been tortured to death. After all, his body I am already extremely weak and cannot bear this kind of torture...
A dozen refugees in ragged clothes, completely withered, waiting desperately in this small kennel...
They see no hope.
The aunt in her early forties seemed even more demented... sobbing from time to time, and beating her stomach from time to time. She was choked with sobs and couldn't tell. She didn't know whether she was missing her daughter who was taken away, or thinking about how to keep her daughter with her. All the wild beasts here will die together...
Everyone is waiting for the return of the second fool.
Half an hour passed slowly.
Just when all the refugees in the kennel were hungry and cold, Er Sha's voice finally came in!
"Uncle, aunt... I'm back, I caught some fresh fish!"
Upon hearing the news, all the refugees were excited!
fish
Did Er Sha finally catch the fish
Very good!
We can finally have something to eat...
How many fish did Er Sha catch
How big is the fish
For a moment, the fourteen refugees' eyes were shining, their tongues were full of excitement, and they were all guessing...
However, when the two idiots rushed into the kennel, everyone was dumbfounded. The passion and hope that had originally emerged were all wiped out, replaced by a deep numbness and exhaustion, and an even more unspeakable disappointment. despair.
But I saw the second idiot holding two rubber black boots in his hands...
Damn it, the second fool dived to the bottom of the ice to catch fish, but he ended up catching two tattered boots. This fool really mistook the boots for fish!
Sure enough, a fool is a fool, you can't expect him to bring food back to everyone...
Just when everyone was covering their faces and sighing, wondering whether they would survive until tomorrow, the sound of "crunching" came from outside again...
Anyone
Although Ningnan District is close to the Yongjiang River, because it is full of ruins, few people will pass by this kennel...
Just when the refugees were all puzzled, the "crunching" sound finally stopped, followed by the sound of footsteps, accompanied by a rather pleasant and gentle voice: "It should be here..."
Another gentle voice sounded: "Well, it's right here. It is said that more than 20 people are sleeping in this place... Hey, this place is too dilapidated. It can't even provide basic shelter from wind and rain. It’s definitely very hard and tiring here, and I don’t know how they survived it…”
"Go in and help them..."
Just when the refugees didn't know what was going on, they saw two or three strangers in bright clothes breaking into this dirty and messy kennel. The leader was a man with long hair and a slim-fitting purple suit-style down jacket. A beautiful young woman, she is as beautiful as a stunning dream, with a very delicate and beautiful face, and her skin is dewy and delicate!
This young woman is naturally Yan Zisu, and next to her are several reserve members of the Xijiang Demon Hunting Group, including botanist Ling Xiaoyu, Warsong Shaman Wang Caiyi, and vice president Jiang Feng.
They all held a bamboo basket in their hands.
The bamboo basket is filled with white huāhuā steamed buns...
When they saw those white steamed buns, the eyes of all the refugees in the kennel widened, as if they were looking for gold. Some people even drooled on the ground, and their stomachs were growling with hunger!
"Steamed buns... steamed buns... are you here to share our steamed buns?" The old man burst into tears. He staggered and excitedly walked to Yan Zisu, his hands trembling, not knowing whether he wanted to express his gratitude or something else. What? He opened his mouth wide, but fell to his knees with a pop.
"Boss Day, don't be like this... We are just here to bring you food..."
Yan Zisu didn't mind being dirty, so she stretched out her hand, held the old man's wrist, helped him up, and then used a water purification technique. Warm water vapor enveloped the old man's body, instantly dissipating the stench from his body. A lot, even the dirty clothes became a lot cleaner.
"Old man, you must have not eaten for many days. Here are these steamed buns for you. Eat them carefully and don't swallow them..."
Yan Zisu, who exuded a kind of motherly kindness, took out several large and sturdy steamed buns from the basket and stuffed them into the old man's hands. The old man took the buns blankly and shed more tears...
This sixty or seventy-year-old man choked up and stammered: "Thank you... thank you, you are really the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, and you are so kind... Since the end of the world, no one has been so kind to me... Eight steamed buns, eight Steamed buns... enough for me to eat for four days... "
Yan Zisu smiled. In her sweet smile, there was a kind of warmth of the sun, which could perfectly infect the hearts of others, making them feel like a spring breeze and giving them a strong courage to live: "Old man, eight are still alive." It’s not enough. You’re not in good health. You’d better eat more. Don’t skimp... Here, I’ll give you two more... "
"Thanks… "
The old man was sobbing, and at this time, the group of refugees also rushed up, begging for life-saving steamed buns. Wang Caiyi and Jiang Feng quickly distributed food to the group of refugees, filling the troughs with the food of the impatient refugees. hands…
"Good people, the entire city of Yong has run out of food... The army doesn't care whether we live or die. Even the inheritors may not be able to eat enough. Even if they have surplus food, they will never give us any... But why are you such good people? Gave us so many steamed buns..."
The old man swallowed the delicious and sweet tuna in big mouthfuls, and almost choked. It was not until he finished eating a tau that his hunger was relieved a little, and then he had the strength to inquire about the situation.
The other refugees also focused their attention on Yan Zisu, expecting her to give an answer.
"The food shortage crisis in Yongcheng... can almost be solved..." Yan Zisu smiled brightly, stretched out his hand, and used several water purification techniques to help these refugees wash away the filth.
"Solved? How is it possible?"
"It's true... Major General Li Jiayu has returned in triumph. She brought magical plants with her and restored the magic manor last night, producing a lot of food... Of course, the army also took out half of the insect inventory. Crystal, it has greatly promoted the growth of crops. If you really want to say it, you have to thank Major General Li and the army..." Wang Caiyi said.
