In the bungalow, Xiao Mo looked at the triangular roof and thought about something.
Judging from what I heard before and today, their family will definitely not stay in the Deng family for long.
It has been a month since the incident, and the country should have taken some action. It is impossible for such a large country to continue in such chaos. That resettlement area is probably the first step of action.
I just don’t know what the situation is like outside? I've only heard about it, but haven't seen it with my own eyes.
In addition, how many people have supernatural powers? How many people secrete alloy particles from their bodies
The most important thing is how will the country treat people like them
Xue Lihong took out something like an electric razor from the backpack she never left and pressed it against Xiao Mo's body.
Xiao Mo was startled by him.
"what?"
"Muscle awakening electromagnetic device." Xue Lihong rode on the man, lifted the thin blanket, and carefully gave him a stimulating massage along the texture.
"Hiss! It's numb, it hurts a little." Xiao Mo felt his muscles trembling slightly under the stimulation of the electromagnetic device.
"This is a normal reaction."
"I thought the place where I slept was unclean and ants bit me every day. It turned out to be this thing." Xiao Mo laughed.
"Without it, you would have to undergo at least two months of recovery training before you can walk normally." Xue Lihong didn't seem surprised at all that Xiao Mo was already conscious.
The more Xiao Mo looked at Xue Lihong, the more mysterious he felt, "How do you always get these weird things?"
Xue Lihong seemed not to hear.
Xiao Mo didn't expect him to answer, so he smiled bitterly and said: "I hope it won't be like this again in the future."
"Probably not. The first time is always more painful."
Xiao Mo, "..." Why does he think this sentence is so strange
Xue Lihong said, "In order to help you recover as soon as possible, I will slightly increase the frequency. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."
"Okay, eh? Ouch--!"
Xiao Mo screamed, isn't this too exciting? Is this really just intensifying the frequency a little bit
Just when Xiao Mo finally escaped from that damn electromagnetic device, someone knocked on the ajar door, and his sister-in-law Deng Anjie shouted from outside: "Boy, can you come in? I brought the doctor. "
The doctor didn't see the reason when he came. He could only confirm that Xiao Mo was indeed recovering. He even said that Xiao Mo was lucky and was surprised that he could wake up after being comatose for such a long time.
Xiao Mo vaguely asked if there were any patients in the same situation as him. The doctor shook his head and said that there was only one special case like him nearby, and there were no people who had been comatose for a day or two.
Xiao Mo was a little uneasy. The doctor looked at him as if he were looking at something rare. If Deng Anjie and Xue Lihong weren't staring at him, Xiao Mo felt that this man might do something to him.
Before leaving, the doctor offered to take a tube of his blood and asked a friend at the temporary hospital to test him to see if he had truly recovered.
Xiao Mo politely declined.
The doctor tried several times but failed to persuade Xiao Mo, so he had no choice but to give up.
Xue Lihong didn't know if she could see Xiao Mo's worries, and she had been strictly guarding against the doctor from doing anything unnecessary to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo is not afraid that there will be abnormalities in himself, he is only afraid that too few people will be abnormal. As a typical Chinese, he has no desire to be an outstanding person at all. Unless forced to do so, he would rather keep his anomaly hidden.
Deng Anjie heard from the doctor that Xiao Mo was fine and that his muscles were recovering well. As long as he exercised diligently, he would be able to walk again soon. Feeling relieved, she happily paid the consultation fee with a piece of bacon about a pound.
When Xiao Mo saw it, he thought that banknotes were no longer useful
When the doctor left, he patted Xiao Mo's shoulder and told him to have a good rest.
"Hiss!" Xiao Mo felt his scalp hurt a little, and the hair that reached his neck seemed to have been accidentally pulled by the doctor's fingers.
Xue Lihong turned her head to look at the doctor. There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm and... murderous intent in her eyes
Deng Anjie sent the doctor out of the door.
Outside the door, there were two strong men waiting for the doctor.
The doctor's profession is very popular at all times, because he visits a lot of patients, so he simply hired two idle men who came to visit him as bodyguards, and the price was just food and shelter.
Deng Anjie sent the doctor away and turned back to talk to Xiao Mo.
Xue Lihong climbed out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Mo asked.
Xue Lihong replied: "Pee."
Xiao Mo smiled, "Go back quickly, don't run too far, be careful the big locusts will take you away!"
Xue Lihong ignored him, opened the door and walked out.
The doctor, escorted by two strong men, quickly crossed the concrete path between the fields.
Along the way, the doctor's forehead was covered with sweat, and the sweat dripped down his cheek, but he never wiped it off because he had no free hands. He was holding a pointed bamboo pole in his left hand, and he seemed to be holding some treasure in his right hand. They hold each other tightly, never daring to relax.
He walked until he was more than 300 meters away from the bungalow and looked back. Then he put down the bamboo pole and took out a collection tube from his jacket pocket. He spread out his right hand more carefully and took the two tubes with him. The hair at the root is carefully placed into the collection tube.
As a doctor, especially with a friend who is a doctor in a temporary hospital in the resettlement area, he knows more than ordinary people.
He knew that the country had been looking for some people.
These people have shown some special abilities either before or after the chaos.
It's just that these people are hidden deeper, and many of the people who developed special abilities in the original quarantine area have been controlled by the state, but those who showed their abilities later took advantage of the chaos and blended into the crowd.
When he first learned about the patient Xiao Mo, he didn't pay much attention to it. He was just a vegetative patient, nothing special.
But after that, he accidentally learned from the Cao family who lived with the Xiao family that Xiao Mo had been living in the quarantine area before, and he became very interested in Xiao Mo.
However, the Xiao family guarded Xiao Mo too closely, and the village became chaotic afterwards, so he never found a chance to check on Xiao Mo.
He vaguely mentioned Xiao Mo's matter to his friend, and his friend was indeed very interested and expressed that he wanted to put this person into a temporary hospital immediately.
But he secretly kept it in mind and found a reason to shirk it.
Because he knew that wherever tasks were issued in the resettlement area, there was always one task at the top of the list, which was to find special talents.
The task states that as long as special talents of great use to the country are found, the person who provides the information will obtain the right of residence in the resettlement area, and will be exempted from renting a house in the resettlement area for five years, and will also be rewarded with 100 kilograms of grain.
If you can personally deliver this special talent to the talent reception center in the resettlement area, you will not only be able to permanently reduce the rent in the resettlement area, but you will also get a huge reward of 500 kilograms of grain!
If others don't know what this special talent represents, how can he not know
Zhang Weisheng understands very well. Even though he seems to be doing a pretty good job as a doctor in the village, looking at the current development, no one can say how long the village can maintain peace.
Not to mention the extremely threatening similar species outside the wall, as well as the crazy animals and plants, inedible food and water, even the giant locusts that come and plunder every now and then are also a major concern.
Zhang Weisheng has long wanted to move to the resettlement area, but he has been unable to make up his mind because of the relatively high rental fees in the resettlement area.
Now... Pressing the collection tube on his chest, as long as he finds Xiao Mo's "special" evidence, even just a little bit, he can report it to the resettlement area. If he's lucky, he might be able to get people to the resettlement area himself.
Hiding the excitement and anticipation on his face, Zhang Weisheng breathed a sigh of relief, put away the collection tube, and picked up the bamboo pole again.
The two guards saw the doctor's actions and didn't say much. They just watched carefully when the doctor stayed.
The three of them walked quickly again and soon reached the entrance of Zhouli Village.
Zhang Weisheng's home was on the left side of the village, but as if he remembered something, he turned and walked to the right.
The two guards just assumed that he had other medical appointments and didn't ask any more questions.
Due to historical reasons, Zhouli Village is located on the outskirts of the city, but most of the villages are two-story buildings made of bricks and stones, and the damage was not serious.
The doctor quickly walked to a large brick house with some history and knocked on the door.
"Coming, coming, who is it?" a characteristic tenor sounded.
"it's me."
"Who are you?" Cao Xiang asked unhappily while standing behind the door.
At this time, all the Xiao family members were working outside to earn food, his sister and nephew were at home, and the rest of the Deng and Cao families were busy in the fields. Now he was the only man in the house, and he would open the door casually if he was stupid.
"Cao Xiang, right? I am Zhang Weisheng, the doctor in the village. Do you still remember what you asked me to do last time?"
Cao Xiang looked at the peephole at the back and immediately opened the door.
Zhang Weisheng stood at the door and smiled, "You said you asked me to pay attention to the condition of the second son of the Xiao family and let you know if there are any changes. I just came back from the second son of the Xiao family."
"Oh? What happened to the second child of the Xiao family? Is he dying?"
Zhang Weisheng smiled and said nothing.
Cao Xiang looked at him puzzled.
Zhang Weisheng saw that he seemed to have forgotten his original promise, so he couldn't help but grimace, "I remember we agreed at the beginning that one piece of news would be exchanged for two kilograms of food!"
"Ah... look at me, haha, doctor, why don't you come in and sit down first?"
Zhang Weisheng looked ugly and was about to leave.
"Doctor Zhang, please wait!" A soft voice called to the doctor, "I have a bigger deal here. Are you interested?"
Zhang Weisheng turned around and saw Cao Xiang's sister Cao Tong walking out of the main room of the Deng family.
at the same time.
Xiao Mo, who was lying on the bed chatting with Deng Anjie, couldn't help but be surprised when Xue Lihong didn't come back after waiting for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, please help me check if Xiaohong is at the door?"
"Yes, how come this child hasn't come back yet after peeing?" Deng Anjie was also surprised. She stood up from the edge of the bed and walked towards the door that was ajar.
After a while, Deng Anjie, who went out to look for someone, ran back with an anxious look.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo felt bad.
"Second brother, Xiaohong is missing!"
Xiao Mo was worried at first but not in a hurry.
Xue Lihong was different from other children. He would not run out to play and then forget to come back. He must have been delayed by something.
But when the sun turned a little to the west, Xiao Mo was not sure anymore.
It was already close to five o'clock, and Deng Anjie had been anxious for a long time. If Xiao Mo hadn't stopped her, she might have run out to find Xue Lihong regardless of the danger outside.
"It's too dangerous for you to go out to look for him alone. Wait until brother comes." Xiao Mo disagreed with his sister-in-law going out to look for him alone.
"Your elder brother and Xiao Da won't be able to pick me up until six o'clock. By then, who knows what will happen?"
Deng Anjie threw down the clothes she was sewing and couldn't help cursing: "Why don't you care about your children at all? Can you compare this time with the past? Even in the past, when we were stable, a child so young disappeared inexplicably. For how many hours, parents will be worried to death, not to mention there are so many dangers outside now?"
That kid is not really my son! And he is so powerful that we don’t need to worry so much. Xiao Mo gritted his teeth while trying hard to regain his body consciousness despite his body's warning.
Deng Anjie couldn't work with peace of mind. She got up and walked around anxiously for several times. Looking at Xiao Mo who couldn't get up from the bed, this woman who regarded her family as her own responsibility gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "No, I'll go right away." Look for him, it will be too late when it gets dark!" After saying that, he picked up the bamboo pole and walked out.
"Sister-in-law, wait!" Xiao Mo suddenly sat up with a strong effort.
"Can you move?" Deng Anjie pressed her hand on the door and turned around in surprise.
Xiao Mo gasped for air, raised his hand with difficulty and rubbed his brow, "I'll go with you, wait for me for half an hour."
His head that was about to explode was warning him that he was not suitable to use his abilities yet, but how could there be time now for him to lie down for a few more days and wait for natural recovery
"Don't touch me no matter what happens later." Xiao Mo didn't care that Deng Anjie was looking at him. After explaining, he closed his eyes and tried to think about what he looked like when he was healthy.
Fixing myself, just whatever it takes to get me back to walking and running.
Following his strong desire, Xiao Mo felt a sharp pain in the center of his eyebrows, as if there was something alive spinning, expanding, and radiating something outward.
Deng Anjie looked at her second uncle with confusion and surprise.
In her eyes, Xiao Mo was leaning against the wall with his brows furrowed and his expression extremely distorted, as if he was suppressing something.
Deng Anjie called Xiao Mo softly, but didn't hear the other party's answer. She stretched out her hand to push him, but suddenly remembered the other party's instructions and quickly retracted her hand.
This is their second child? All kinds of wild speculations ran through Deng Anjie's mind, and the more she thought about it, the more nervous she became.
At this time, Xue Lihong was following Zhang Weisheng and saw him go home and come back again, handing a small plastic bottle to Cao Xiang.
Xue Lihong didn't show disdain or sarcasm because of this. He seemed to have seen the same thing too many times and continued to follow Zhang Weisheng and his bodyguard without any surprise.
No one noticed this child whose presence was so weak that he could hardly feel it. Even if someone saw him on the roadside, they would act as if they had not seen him.
Xue Lihong looked up at the sky. It got dark late in July, but it was still very bright at this time.
It looks like this doctor is planning to rush to the quarantine area this evening. Maybe the equipment at his home is not enough for his analysis? Or are you worried that others will send Xiao Mo to the quarantine area first? For example, the Cao family.
It's really about profit, even at the risk of life.
Xue Lihong looked at the three people in front of him, flicked his fingers, and the water gun circled flexibly in his hand.
Xiao Mo needs time to recover. Before it is certain whether Qiu Feng can take over all the management rights of the resettlement area, Xiao Mo's abilities are not suitable for exposure to the outside world.
He couldn't risk losing Xiao Mo, so... this person definitely couldn't let him walk to the resettlement area alive.
Xue Lihong quickly scanned the surrounding environment, looking for the most suitable place to take action.
It is not far from the village to the resettlement area, and it is safer than other places without military patrols. But after all, it is getting dark, and the power of the sun is no longer as powerful as before five o'clock. Those who are hungry and waiting for the big meal Locusts have probably started wandering around.
Big locust? What a perfect excuse...
It took ten minutes longer than the half hour Xiao Mo expected. Deng Anjie watched with wide eyes as Xiao Mo put on his coat and pants and walked out of bed like a healthy person.
"Let's go, let's ask along the way. Maybe that kid will come back as soon as we go out."
"Second brother, what are you doing? Didn't you say it would be a few more days before you could get up?" Deng Anjie asked slightly uneasily. She believed that what Xiao Mo said before was definitely not a lie, so since he said it would take a few days to get up, but now he can get out of bed and walk like a normal person, there must be something wrong, and this problem is 100% not harmful to the second child's body. wonderful.
"It's okay. I'll just lie down for a while longer. Going out today is a good time to let those outside see if I'm really sick and about to die, so as not to let the dead people in the village put a dirty hat on my head next time." Xiao Mo Laughing, trying to reassure my sister-in-law.
Deng Anjie was silent for a while, "You can figure it out yourself."
Deng Anjie didn't ask Xiao Mo what method he used to temporarily regain his health, and Xiao Mo didn't explain clearly.
Deng Anjie simply believed in Xiao Mo and didn't want Xiao Mo to think that she was prying into something.
Xiao Mo felt that there was no need to explain it in particular. After a long time, everyone in the family would naturally understand.
The time has reached half past five.
Xiao Mo walked out of the door holding a leg that he had torn off from the bench.
There is a cement road in front of the forest house. The cement road winds forward and extends to the village in the distance.
On both sides of the cement road are large fields, mostly planted with green rice, and occasionally with crops such as corn, peanuts, soybeans, and potatoes. Looking further into the distance, you can still see the faint watermelon fields.
Speaking of his sister-in-law's house, he had been to the town several times, but this was his first time in the village, and everything he saw was new.
Nowadays, farming is highly mechanized, and most villages in the suburbs of cities also pay great attention to hygiene and image. The unique cattle, sheep, and pigs in rural areas have become extremely rare, and even few families raise chickens and ducks.
This is also the case in Zhouli Village. Not only is there not a single livestock to be seen here, but there is no sign of even the native dog that is the most common in the countryside.
"Xiaohong! Xuelihong--!" the two adults shouted as they walked.
Except for the corn field, the crop plants in other fields are not very tall. You can see if there is anyone in the field at a glance.
It was almost evening, but there were still many people working in the fields, and some were patrolling the fields with wooden sticks, bamboo poles and other objects.
Some people in the field saw them, and many clenched their weapons. Someone recognized Deng Anjie and immediately raised their voice and asked, "Sister Deng, who are you looking for? Who is that next to you? The new guy?"
"This is Xiao Mo, the second child in our family." Deng Anjie stopped and replied in a very loud voice. At the same time, she asked: "We are looking for the child at home. Did you see it? It's the youngest Xiao Hong."
The villagers who heard the question looked at each other a few times and shook their heads. No one noticed a child passing by on the road.
"Is this the second child of the Xiao family? Isn't he suffering from an infectious disease and about to die? Why did he suddenly recover?" The young man who just asked the question asked in surprise.
Others also looked at Xiao Mo curiously.
Deng Anjie was not happy when she heard this. She lowered her face and said, "Deng Ning, what are you talking about? Who said that the second child in our family is sick to death and has an infectious disease? Who did you listen to? If it was really an infectious disease, our family would have been a long time ago. They all collapsed, why wait until now? Our second child just had difficulty moving for a while and was lying at home for a month. Now that he has taken good care of himself, he will be fine. "
Xiao Mo said he didn't mind and smiled at the villager and the man, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, we didn't mean it. If anyone else had been lying on the bed for a month, and this time comes, everyone would have random thoughts. I'm sorry, this I have been causing trouble to everyone for a while. From now on, everyone will live in the same village. Please take care of me. As long as I, Xiao Mo, can help, just ask. By the way, brother, did you see such a tall and well-dressed person just now? A child passing by wearing jeans and carrying a small denim bag? That’s my son, very naughty. Haha!”
Xiao Mo's appearance and temperament belong to the type of good family man. If he deliberately made friends with people, few people would have a bad feeling about him from the beginning.
The villagers had also heard a little bit about the commotion in the Deng family house, and there were many rumors about this person among themselves. Many people also said that they wished this person would die early, but now they saw that the legendary person was infected. I, who was about to die, stood in front of them in good health, and it was inevitable that I felt a little embarrassed and guilty of cursing people behind my back. Looking at Xiao Mo's generous and friendly attitude, who would have the nerve to show a face to him, or even speak harshly to him
Deng Ning touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Hello, Brother Xiao. Well, don't be angry about that, Sister Deng. I just heard everyone say that. Besides...it was your eldest brother's wife's family who said it. Yes, we naturally thought it was true. But we really didn’t see the child, did any of you see it?”
Dunning turned around and asked the people around him loudly. Everyone shook their heads.
"That miserable family! Can they listen to what they say? They just bully the honest people of Lao Xiao's family, eat us, take our food, and even think about driving our whole family away. It's really not enough to take advantage of me! Lao Xiao and the others If it weren't for the sake of my parents and eldest brother... Oh, forget it, let's not mention it, we are all a family after all. It's getting late, so be careful when you work, and we'll go look for it in the village again."
Deng Anjie was not someone who refused to fight back when someone bullied her. Xiao Mo was lying in front of her like a vegetative patient. She had no position in arguing with others. Now that Xiao Mo is better, she has straightened her back and can speak with confidence. .
Xiao Mo suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, his brows full of doubts.
Deng Anjie was still there asking everyone, "Deng Ning, if you see our child later, please help us deliver it to our house when you go back. I will be very grateful!"
"sister in law… "
"Huh?" Deng Anjie turned around.
"Run!" Xiao Mo yelled, grabbed Deng Anjie's arm, and ran towards the village. While running away, he did not forget to turn around and shout to the villagers: "Something is coming! Get out of here quickly! Find a safe place to hide!"
Before the villagers could react, in the blink of an eye, a dozen black dots suddenly flew closer from the west of the sky.
Deng Ning looked up, his face changed drastically, he picked up the hoe and ran away, "It's a big locust! The big locust swarm is coming! Come back to the village, big guy!"
Xiao Mo was so anxious that he was soaked with sweat. He stared at the black spots with the corner of his eyes and shouted wildly as he ran: "Xiaohong! Xuelihong, where are you? Come out and die!"
There was a quite large wheat field where the village and the fields connected. At this time, many people heard or saw that the big locusts were about to fly over. The people who were busy in the wheat field immediately put aside their work and grabbed hold of the wheat field. He picked up the crude weapon he had put aside and ran away.
Maybe everyone has been trained or experienced a bloody lesson. Although the running people were panicked, they were not dizzy. Everyone was running towards the village. It's just... some people run fast, some run slow, and some people who run fast always feel that the person in front of them is blocking their way, pushing, yelling, or even stepping on them...
"Anjie?" Xiao Wen dropped the mud stirring stick and immediately rushed towards his wife.
"Second brother, you can run away?!" The brick mold in Xiao Da's hand fell to the ground with a bang.
Xiao Mo ran past him and slapped him awake, "Run quickly! Dad, this way! Duoduo, come here quickly!"
The Xiao family gathered together, with the three brothers protecting the old, middle and young in the middle. Xiao Leduo thought he was an adult and wanted to rush to the front and be side by side with his father, but his mother grabbed him.
Xiao Mo shouted Xue Lihong's name while running.
