I said, "Which way is the Ark Building? Let's go and see." I thought, "I don't have to meet the security organs along the way, so I need to change into a stab-resistant suit."
The girl shook her head and said helplessly, "I don't know."
I said, "Why don't you know? You and your grandpa are not here?"
The girl said: "My grandpa and I originally lived in Xijing Village. Later, after we ran out of food, my grandpa took me into the city. We came for half a month. Grandpa kept me hidden in the curtain shop, so I was not allowed to run around..."
In the girl's account, I drove around the city to search. The city is not too big, but it is not small. Once her grandfather and grandson are separated, if they meet again, it can only depend on luck.
The girl's name is Chen Ruoshui, her nickname is Xiaoruo, and her grandfather's name is Chen Baogui. When the disaster happened, the girl's mother became a zombie, and her father Chen Daoyan was working in the field, and his life and death are unknown.
Now, it is the grandfather and grandson who are dependent on each other, but the grandfather is missing again. There is a word in my heart that I haven't said, I'm afraid my grandfather is also very bad luck.
After running half a city, a small supermarket finally appeared on the side of the road. I stopped the car and went in with my backpack to collect supplies.
Xiao Ruo also carried a backpack with him and opened the zipper. Except for an aluminum lunch box, there were only two bags of biscuits and a bottle of water, almost empty. I also packed a lot of food along with it.
I noticed that Xiao Ruo took very few sweets, but filled a lot of oatmeal. Although this thing does not taste very good, it is easy to preserve and can be used as a staple food.
The sun slanted west, and the last aftermath dragged on longer and longer. I parked the car in front of the development bank and walked to the bank’s gate to look at it. The AB door of the business hall was open. The demon found it and couldn't break in either.
On the bank counter, there were bundles of banknotes stacked. I took out the lunch box and poured mineral water. He Xiaorou used the banknotes to light the fire and boil the water to make oatmeal.
After the water boiled, we soaked in oatmeal and filled our stomachs with canned fish.
I stepped on the fire pile and said to Xiao Ruo: "Xiao Ruo... Your grandpa is probably gone, you can go with me."
Xiao Ruo was taken aback, and shook his head nervously: "No, no, my grandpa will not die, I will not leave, I will wait for my grandpa."
I knew it was difficult for her to accept the cruel facts of losing her last relative, and said:
"Think about it for yourself and answer me tomorrow."
After a pause, I said, "Actually, to be honest, I am not a bad person, but I am not a good person either. Taking you with me is a burden for me. I don't know if I will kill myself if I do this."
Xiao Ruomu shed tears.
The city was terribly quiet, and occasionally there was a howl or two of corpses, making the whole world seem even more deserted.
I slept in the middle of the night, when Xiao Ruo was pushed to wake up suddenly, she whispered: "Brother Xiaoqiang, let me go with you."
I was so sleepy, I gave a dazed hum, and suddenly sat up: "Hu Xiaoyun!" It took a long time for me to come to my senses, "Oh, it's Xiao Ruo."
Xiao Ruo murmured: "I'm sorry, Xiaoqiang, I woke you up."
I said: "You haven't slept?"
Xiao Ruo nodded in the dark and whispered: "I can't sleep."
I stretched hard and lit a cigarette: "Why can't I fall asleep?"
Xiao Ruo said: "I'm afraid."
I said, "Fear is a good thing. It keeps you on guard."
Xiao Ruo hummed and said something that surprised me. She said: "Actually, my mother has become those things, and I am not at all sad."
I thought to myself: "This girl's heart is cold enough, her mother's body is transformed, she can still say such things." said coldly, "Why?" I have decided in my heart that I will never take it with me when I leave. she was.
Xiao Ruo sighed: "When I was three years old, she and my dad divorced. She reorganized the family with another man in Xining Village. It was only a few steps from the head of the village, but she never came back to see me. ."
I screamed, and said to my heart: "This kind of mother is really unworthy, and the child is sad for her."
Xiao Ruo continued: "Later, she gave birth to a child with that man, and she loved the sky. At that time, I was so eager that she could treat me like that child."
I was a little bit sad and said, "The past has passed, but now the most important thing is how to survive."
Xiao Ruo said to herself: "One day, when I met her in the village, I looked straight at her, and her eyes swept across me like that. There was neither compassion nor disgust, as if she didn't get fucked at all. Pass me."
"I couldn't help it anymore. I ran up to her, pointed at the little boy in her arms, and asked loudly:'When you hug him, don't you think of me?'"
"She said coldly:'Your surname is Chen, and I have nothing to do with me.'"
I was a little angry: "Your mother is too human? Too unworthy to be a mother!"
Xiao Ruo sighed, filled with the vicissitudes of life that she should not have at her age, and said:
"Brother Xiaoqiang, I didn't think she was my mother for a long time. I just can't figure out how she could be so cruel and say that to her daughter."
Xiao Ruo was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "In the textbooks, I always praise how great and selfless maternal love is. I looked at the cold letters and suddenly thought, she has only read books for a year. Is it human nature? , Was born cold? She was so ruthless just because she was not educated?"
Xiao Ruo finished speaking and waited quietly for my answer.
I took a big puff of cigarette and said, "Education is one aspect, the most important thing, maybe it is your mother's nature, who was originally a cold person.
Xiao Ruo sighed: "Stop saying that she is my mother. From that day on, I don't recognize her."
In the dark, I felt that Xiao Ruo was as deep as an adult when she said this.
As time passed, another layer of gray appeared on the glass window of the bank. Xiao Ruo and I walked out of the bank and drove out of the city.
The sky was blue, Xiao Ruo leaned listlessly on the seat, looked at the empty road in a daze, and suddenly asked me:
"Brother Xiaoqiang, you said, what is the most important thing for a person to live?"
I said in passing: "Living itself is the most important thing."
Xiao Ruo said: "It's boring... Hey, there are several clothing stores, Brother Xiaoqiang, shall we go in and pick some clothes?"
I stepped down, parked the car directly in the middle of the road, and Xiao Ruo got out of the car and walked over. The T-shirt inside of me smelled of sweat, and I should change it.
In fact, I was still thinking about finding the security organ or something to see if I could change the stab-resistant suit, but I never saw it.
The stab-resistant suit on my body has saved my life countless times. Although it is not so comfortable to wear, it is now very old and I am reluctant to throw it away.
