Carrying the Bamboo Horse on the Thousand Miles Return from the Doomsday Natural Disaster

Since there was nothing to gain, the three people returned to the hospital. I had no intention of leaving today and it was already noon when I woke up. I came out after lunch, and now it’s evening. Except for Xu Lingfeng, who ate the porridge cooked by Gu Yu in the space, everyone else ate compressed biscuits and pickles.

Pickles is the old lady's specialty, the most proud craft in her life. I fished it all out when I left, and only about a pound was left. Zhao Da ate and hid away. Zhang Xun said that it was because Zhao Da's mother often sent these things to their residence. They often go out to do tasks, and when they come back, some things have been sent to them for a while. Zhao Da is often reluctant to throw them away and misses his parents while holding those glass bottles.

The old man's home is far away from the small county. It turns out that all the relatives in the small county have disappeared. Even Zhuzi's grandmother's house is empty, and there seems to be no living person in the small county town. Some families have their doors wide open and are deserted.

It took more than an hour to drive and 600 to 700 kilometers before we arrived at the foot of a big mountain. The noise of the car still attracted some villagers. They boldly opened the door to take a look, while the timid ones leaned against the windows and looked out.

Grandpa Zhuzi immediately saw an acquaintance among the first people who opened the door. He opened the car window and shouted: "Big brother! I'm back!"

The man happily opened the door completely and shouted: "Old man Liu, you are back! How did you come back! The shore is full of mines! Your boy is too anxious to cross the river!"

Where there is the first house, there is the second house, and there are already a lot of people at the door of Mr. Liu's house. The car didn't dare to drive any faster, and someone with a loud voice was already running ahead and shouting: "Boy from the Liu family! Your parents are back! And your son!"

Zhuzi's father cried when he saw his parents and son, and the family of four hugged and cried. When asked about his daughter-in-law, Zhuzi's father was heartbroken. It turned out that they couldn't get through when they came back that day, and the shore was full of mines.

When Zhuzi's mother was sad, she found out that she was pregnant. The couple could only cheer up and take good care of their second child. The hot weather has caused a shortage of supplies, but there is enough food stored in the Liu family's cellar to last for several years.

But relatives began to come to join him in the village, including Zhu Zhu's grandmother's family. Later, the country announced the establishment of a rescue base, and these people were all ready to go to the rescue base. Uncle Zhuzi asked his brother-in-law to take away half of the grain for him, but when he didn't get permission, he pushed Zhuzi's mother over. As a result, she had a miscarriage and couldn't find a doctor, so she died.

Zhuzhu's father took the double-barreled hunting wood barn he brought back from abroad to save the food and drive away a family of vampire white-eyed wolves. Many families in the village encountered similar problems, and some families were robbed and killed for taking in relatives.

After the temperature dropped sharply, this place was close to the mountains, and the high temperature killed many trees. Human life is at stake, no one cares about which plants and animals are protected. The ecological balance that was restored with great difficulty in the past few years has been destroyed again. The main reason is that nature is too terrible, and animals and plants cannot withstand such natural and man-made disasters.

Now that his parents are back successfully, Zhuzi's father holds Zhuzi and kowtows to his benefactor. Zhao Da pulled them up and chatted with the villagers about the domestic situation. He is from the three northeastern provinces and speaks his hometown dialect more cordially. Therefore, the atmosphere of the conversation was very harmonious, and the villagers talked about almost everything they knew.

From these conversations, Xu Lingfeng summarized the current situation in the country, at least in the three eastern provinces. People in rural areas, especially those who live in rural areas, basically hide at home. In hot weather, go out at night to look for food and stock up on firewood. At first, the relatives who came to seek refuge were basically accepted. Although there were some minor quarrels, they still coexisted peacefully.

When the hot weather lasted for about four months, news came on the radio that the country had established a rescue base. There are about ten in total, all in first-tier cities. As a result, conflicts began to arise in every household, and there was food and drink in the village. The underground water supply is quite abundant. Of course, no one wants to leave their hometown to live in a strange place. Besides, there are young and old alike, who is willing to travel a long distance to live in a place they have never been to in their life?

But the relatives who came to seek refuge in the city wanted to go to bigger cities to find another way of survival. But since we have to go, the road is so far, how far can we go with empty hands? As a result, the contradiction expanded, and the people in the village were unwilling to provide the food they needed to survive. Relatives and friends are not willing to live in a strange place empty-handed.

If there is a problem of robbery in one house, someone will imitate the same. Fortunately, the people in the village are still united and the folk customs are strong. Of course, the Liu family is the only one with weapons, and there is no other family. Guyu had already put his weapons into the space. They only needed a handgun for self-defense and the dagger in their boots.

But there are also people who have left and come back. It is said that they need to hand over supplies to the rescue base in the city. You also have to participate in base construction and exchange labor for living materials. The place to live is very small, with many tents in addition to houses. They all need to pay rent, and those with supplies are pretty good, but those without can't get in, and no one cares about the outside of the rescue base. It would be great if you can escape and come back. At this time, you can put your face on the ground and trample on it!

They were also the first family to return shamelessly after something unpleasant happened. The people in the village drove them away, and later established rules not to accept outsiders. Everyone worked together to drive the people out, thus maintaining peace in the village.

After the temperature dropped sharply, no one came to the village again. The weather was too cold. If the old man of the Liu family hadn't come back suddenly, no one would have left the house. Anyway, they hardly went out in the winter, so they had plenty of firewood.

It's all difficult now, and there's no such thing as a feast to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust. When it gets dark, every family goes home. Zhu Zhu’s father made a pot of stew for everyone. Except for the lack of fresh vegetables, all the good things that could be found at home were included in it. Including the wild spore meat that he had finally beaten and the pancakes with cornmeal paste.

Since Zhu Zhu knew that his mother was gone, he hugged his father and cried a lot before falling asleep. After waking him up, he hugged his grandma and refused to let go. Xie Wen analyzed that the child had psychological problems, but she was helpless.

No matter how big the child's problem is, the bigger problem now seems to be survival. Both the old couple and the father of the child feel that life is more important. Guyu also knew that the mother had not harmed the child, but there was nothing she could do. We can only place hope in time, only time can erase all memories. Maybe Zhu Zhu will slowly get over the pain of losing his mother and feel better when he grows up.
