The Tight Embrace of the End Times

Gu Leng lay motionless on the bed. Although Gu Leng knew the cruelty of the end times in his heart, when a familiar person died like this, Gu Leng was a little disheartened, and the anxiety in his heart needed time to settle properly.

Xiao Qiao lay beside Gu Leng and didn't bother him, just accompanied him silently.

Gu Leng thought about it, and finally fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, he was startled. He was actually wrapped around Xiao Qiao like an octopus. Tsk, don't you think this person is hot? I can't figure it out.

Rubbing her head and sitting up, secretly annoyed, Xiao Qiao smiled softly, rubbed Gu Leng's hair very naturally, and kissed Gu Leng on the corner of his mouth: "Good morning".

Gu Leng was stunned.Did you sleep last night?How did it develop into kissing all of a sudden?Never mind, it tastes good.

Xiao Qiao went to cook poached eggs for Gu Leng with a happy face.

From this day on, Xiao Qiao often kissed Gu Leng good morning and good night, kissing and kissing, Gu Leng kissed Xiao Qiao, so carefree, so sweet, not forced.

Well, in Gu Leng's mind, Xiao Qiao is considered his, so he specially found a time, and said to Xiao Qiao with a serious face, "Let's talk."

Xiao Qiao rushed to say nervously: "Xiao Leng, don't tell me you don't like me kissing you, don't tell me you don't enjoy it, don't tell me you don't like me, don't tell me we are not suitable, other than "like" I don't accept any other answers, Xiao Leng, don't be so awkward!"

Gu Leng has a clear self-awareness. He knows that he has such an awkward personality. He looks cold on the outside, but his heart is really hot. Gu Leng has always concealed it well, and he can see through this point of himself. Xiao Qiao is also No.1 in a certain way. Lah, as expected of the person I like, Gu Leng thought with satisfaction in his heart, but, but, Gu Leng would never admit his character.

Gu Leng coughed, kept his face serious, and said to Xiao Qiao seriously: "What are you talking about, who wants to discuss this with you, can't you let me finish talking?"

"As long as you don't reject me, Xiao Leng, I will agree to whatever you say."

"Cough, cough, so to speak, you like me so much, you love me so badly", hey, bad, Gu Leng said what he wanted to say as soon as he was proud, but he won't lose After a while, Gu Leng adjusted his expression, and continued to look at Xiao Qiao with a serious face.

As for Xiao Qiao, her eyes lit up and she showed a big smile. To Xiao Qiao, this was Gu Leng admitting her feelings head-on, and quickly replied: "Yes, Xiao Leng, I like what you like. I love you so much," You said anxiously, "Xiao Leng, do you mean the same as me?"

"Well", Gu Leng continued to put on an expression, "Okay, be serious." A peach appeared out of thin air in Gu Leng's hand: "What I want to tell you is this, are you surprised that you didn't see me?" Raising chickens, where do you get so many fresh chickens? Where do you get fresh fruits? Why does it get cooler the closer you are to me?"

Xiao Qiao was full of smiles, her eyes were doting, Gu Leng turned her head away uncomfortably.

"Xiao Leng, although I had doubts occasionally before, but if you don't want to tell me, Xiao Leng, I won't ask you. You know, the last thing I want to do is to hurt you and force you. I have been waiting for you Take the initiative to tell me that you told me like this today, I, I am very happy."

Gu Leng then introduced the space to Xiao Qiao in detail, took Xiao Qiao around the space, and finally told Xiao Qiao about the spring water and cultivation, without further ado, Gu Leng let Xiao Qiao drink a bowl Spring water, to help him practice.

Then Gu Leng discovered depressedly that Xiao Qiao's talent seemed to be better than Gu Leng's, and he was much more diligent than Gu Leng's. His cultivation progress was close to that of Gu Leng who had practiced a few months earlier. Gu Leng was sour and a little bit jealous. I had no choice but to comfort myself in my heart: "Think about the bright side, Xiao Qiao doesn't have to worry about going out in the future, and think about the best way, let the little brother fight in the future, save your energy!"

People began to find that there was no electricity for several days, and there was no water for two days. People no longer have illusions. Everyone knows that the electricity may be cut off forever, and the water may be cut off forever. The dry weather, There is only a layer of black wet silt left in the canal, which can no longer water the crops, let alone eat them.

At first people used canals to irrigate their crops, and later they took tap water from their homes and transported it to the fields, but now both roads are blocked.

In this desperate situation, all the villagers found the village head's house, and the village head was very happy when he arrived, saying: "There is no electricity, we can live in caves, we can burn firewood for cooking, and we can light torches." Lighting, but without water, people can’t stand it, and neither can the crops. There is a big lake over the mountain behind our village, which is definitely enough for the nearby villages, but there is only one. Now the world is not safe, so I went to fetch water. , someone must arrange and lead, but I am old and I don’t have the strength, I see, let’s re-elect a village chief. First select two people, and then, the whole village will vote for the real one. How about the village head? I am an old village head. Let me recommend one person. My son Gu Yong is a department-level cadre. He is the best at management. There is one person left. Choose one of the 30-plus people in the village. Well, which one do the folks think is suitable?"

"Gu Li"

"Gu Xin"

"Gu Gang"

……

In the end, the village head himself pointed out another person, Gu Gang, whose wife suffered from heat stroke before. Personal choice, Gu Leng can only choose Gu Gang.

There are three reasons why Gu Leng did not choose Gu Yong. First, Gu Leng felt that Gu Yong was a theoretical figure, and he might not be able to recognize all the crops in the field. How could he choose such a person as the village chief?

Secondly, Gu Leng always has a feeling for Gu Yong. This person is not as polite and harmless as he looks. I like dealing with this kind of people.

The third is that he simply doesn't like the face of the village chief, the way he eats is so disgusting.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao went to Gu Gang's house, and were warmly and thoughtfully welcomed by Brother Gang and Sister Gang.He also lobbied Gu Gang to actively fight for the position of village chief, and Gu Leng also came up with a plan.

Gu Leng’s small factory can earn dozens of catties of grain every day. Gu Leng didn’t take care of it before. He only said that the village head was responsible for the full power, and it was mainly used to help the children in the village. But later, Gu Leng overheard, The families with children in the village did not receive any food, while the village head’s family had enough to eat and drink every day. The environment was tough and people generally lost weight. The village head’s aunt seemed to be very fat. Reasonable, Gu Leng specifically asked Aunt He, and sure enough, as Gu Leng thought, the village chief swallowed up the food.

Now the plan that Gu Leng is giving Gu Gang is to use the collected grain to raise the children in the village, and make sure that the children are fed enough, but the income and expenditure are transparent, and the amount of grain allocated to each household is clear. Clearly write it up for the supervision of the villagers, so as to truly be open and transparent.

Which man doesn't want to be an official, doesn't want to be surrounded by people? Gu Gang was so excited when he heard Gu Leng's plan, he immediately took Gu Leng's plan and visited every household. Three days later, the village voted by the villagers The elder was chosen, and as Gu Leng expected, it was Gu Gang.

The former village head and his son's calculations are empty.

As soon as Gu Gang took office, the first thing he did was to convene a meeting with the villagers to discuss the matter of water fetching.

The temperature was so high that many people in Gujia Village gave up planting and lived on the leftover grain at home. Since the people in Gujia Village had a lot of reserves, they could last until next spring to plant.

But people need water to drink and wash their hands, and they can’t do without water.So it is necessary to organize people to carry water back from the big lake in the back mountain.

Each household sends people out, and the village head organizes people to collect water, and after the water is collected, it is distributed uniformly. The number of people who donate is distributed according to work, not according to the number of families.

This distribution method is generally fair, and most people agree with it, but fetching water is a laborious task. Some people have a large population but few adult men, the men in the family are weak, or there are no men in the family. There is no doubt about this distribution method, but selfishly knowing that others do not owe them, there is really no reason for preferential treatment to them, but it is necessary to fight for it.

Among them, Mrs. Qian was the one who reacted most violently. She and Niu Niu were the only mother and daughter in her family, and she couldn't wait to say: "Village Chief, look at our family, there are only two mothers and daughters. We really can't get out of people, and we don't use much water. , Let’s see if you can take care of our mother and daughter, and just give us enough water to drink.”

Before the village head could speak, many women dismissed her statement. For these women, taking care of Mrs. Qian was sacrificing their own interests. Moreover, their own men felt sorry for them, and they also looked after those who had to work hard to reap the rewards.

Immediately retorted: "Women also hold up half the sky, you can't fetch water by yourself? Your strength is not as strong as that of a man's, so you take less, enough for yourself."

"Yeah, yeah, you have hands and feet"

"Why do you want to take advantage of it?"

"This woman, at this time, why don't you want to support this family, it's useless to pretend to be pitiful, you can't help it"

"Your family lacks a man, so you can find another man."

I don't know who yelled such a voice, so many people's eyes lit up, thinking of the relatives who had recently defected and were glamorous and now following behind their buttocks. Although it feels good to be flattered and flattered, but whose family There is no granary, and there is a lot of land, so they all have the idea of ​​Mrs. Qian.

This Mrs. Qian is dead, but the land is still under the name of their mother and daughter. A large group of women surrounded Mrs. Qian, trying to persuade her to find a wife, and dragged Mrs. Qian into a grievance. He ran away with his daughter.

And some other people who had the same idea as Mrs. Qian all shut their mouths.

However, this has some thoughts, but it is difficult to let go.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao kept silent. Although they didn't need anything, they had to live in this village and actively participated in all activities in the village.

They hope to integrate into this environment and live a life without falling behind.
