The Tight Embrace of the End Times

The cold is threatening, and the limited briquettes and firewood in Gujia Village are used to maintain the temperature of the greenhouse. Boiling water and cooking are also done in the greenhouse, killing two birds with one stone.

Well, the problem is coming.

People have to wear thick clothes every day and do farm work in the greenhouse. Even if they wear aprons, the clothes will inevitably get dirty.

But it is very inconvenient to do laundry in the greenhouse.Laundry requires a lot of water, and reheating ice cubes also requires a lot of firewood.What's more, the clothes are not easy to dry, people just have a few clothes, after washing, what to wear?

Therefore, most people in Gujia Village don't wash their clothes.If the clothes are too dirty, I will use a brush to dip a little water to clean the dirty parts, stick them to the stove where the water is boiling, and dry them.

Everyone is doing this, so don't dislike anyone else, besides, in such an environment, survival is the most important thing, what kind of decency, cleanliness, all go to the west.

Xiao Qiao and Gu Leng have space, so they wash clothes in the space to their heart's content, but when they go out, they wear a slightly stained coat, and others think they are the same.

Therefore, Xiao Qiao and Gu Leng successfully integrated into the masses of the people and the trend of the times.

No, Gu Hai came to tell them that their family was going to light a bonfire in the open space outside the shed, and spend half a day doing laundry, washing all the clothes at once, and everyone in Gu Hai's family had a hot wash today. Take a bath, clean up inside and out, because Gu Yun is getting married.

Yes, Zhou Sheng successfully got the consent of everyone in Gu Hai's family except Gu Haiwai, and he will formally marry Gu Yun tomorrow, so today, the whole Gu family will clean up and tidy up, and invite a few close neighbors tomorrow, it will be considered as an official marriage.

"Hey, is Zhou Sheng married or married?" Gu Leng asked Gu Hai.

"what?"

"Will Zhou Sheng marry Gu Yun, or join your family?"

"It's a marriage. He is willing to marry. My parents agreed so quickly. When he came, he had nothing. What should he marry? Of course he is a marriage."

A fire pile nearly one meter long had been set up outside the shed, and Gu Hai's father and Zhou Sheng were carrying a cauldron with a diameter of one meter on top of the fire pile.

Then a large piece of ice was knocked from the side ditch and put into the cauldron so that there would be water.

The temperature of the burning fire dissipated the cold air that was three meters around the fire, and everyone in Gu Hai's family was busy around the fire, with dirty clothes piled up in a small hill next to it.

Now that there is no wind, the gray-black smoke is drawn in a straight line in the air, reaching the sky. Gu Leng thought of a poem, "The lonely smoke in the desert is straight".

Gu Hai and Xiao Qiao deliberately took the two dirty coats to wash, but Aunt He enthusiastically pulled her away and said they wanted to wash them together.

Gu Leng had nothing to do, circling the fire leisurely, suddenly, he felt a dazzling gaze, Zhou Sheng was looking at Gu Leng.

Seeing that Gu Leng had discovered it, Zhou Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, then looked up at "Gu Yan", staring at it for a long time with a big smile on his face.

Gu Leng couldn't stand it after turning around ten times, but it's not easy to go back. Others are washing your clothes for you, but you run back to sleep and sleep, it's really impossible.

Gu Leng thought about it and came up with a good idea.

He ran back to the tent and packed a basket of corn and sweet potatoes.Serve with grilled corn and sweet potatoes.

In the cold and vast world, there are long straight gray smoke, gurgling hot water, the sound of washing clothes, the crackling sounds of roasted corn and roasted sweet potatoes, and the sounds of two families talking in low voices. This is Gujia Village. A rare lively scene.

Many children who had been imprisoned for several months couldn't help running over and laughing and laughing at the fire. Those innocent smiling faces made people laugh out loud from the bottom of their hearts. The children were tired from playing. Just come and form a circle to look at Gu Leng’s roasted corn and sweet potatoes. Gu Leng carefully breaks open the roasted sweet potatoes with a layer of black skin, and feeds them to the children. The children hold the sweet potatoes, breathe carefully, and eat in small bites with sweet potatoes.

Gu Leng organized the children to play a game, the eagle catches the chick, and the "eagle" who successfully catches the "chicken" will get a piece of roasted delicious corn.

The children were so happy that they raised their hands to be eagles. The long-lost game, the long-lost play, the long-lost unscrupulous smile, Gu Leng thought, no one can bear to break all these.

The sky gradually darkened, only scattered sparks remained in the fire, and the children all went back. Gu Hai took a basin of water left over from washing clothes, poured it on the fire, and went home.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao's dinner was roasted corn and roasted sweet potatoes, with lemonade, Gu Leng leaned on Xiao Qiao's shoulder, the two clinked glasses, Gu Leng suddenly felt a sense of boldness, and couldn't help laughing.

In the middle of the night, Gu Leng, who always felt that something was going to happen and couldn't sleep peacefully, heard the footsteps of a large number of people hundreds of meters away.Sitting up suddenly, he looked at Xiao Qiao who was also sitting up, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully for a while. There was indeed a group of people running towards Gu's Village.

After practicing, Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao's hearing was very strong, and they could hear voices hundreds of meters away, so they could naturally feel the state of the people in the Gu family village, who had already fallen asleep.

Since the last time when the temperature dropped suddenly and people froze to death, the villagers specially hung a gong and drum on a big tree in the village. Whenever something happened, the gong and drum would be played immediately.

Villagers are sensitive to the sound of gongs and drums. After Gu Leng knocked a few times, the sheds in the village were lit up one by one, and many fast-moving villagers came out with torches to find out.

Seeing that the village was already moving, Gu Leng stopped beating the drums, ran to the place where Xiao Qiao was standing at the head of the village, and stood side by side with him, quietly watching the faint torches in the distance.

When a group of about 50 people arrived at the entrance of Gujia Village, all the people of Gujia Village also gathered at the entrance of the village. People held torches, hoes, kitchen knives, and sickles as weapons, and the two sides looked at each other.

The two armies confronted each other, and within a few minutes, there was no sound.

Where have the people of the Gu family village seen such a battle? The person on the opposite side, holding a long knife, looked fierce, and looked at the people of the Gu family village fiercely. There are so many people who have retreated and become firm again, and there is a sense of certainty in their expressions.

Although the village chief, Gu Gang, had been dealing with various matters in the village during this period of time and experienced a period of experience, he was obviously taken aback by this kind of battle, and he stood there without any reaction.

When it was Yuan Qinglang, he walked out slowly with firm steps and a majestic appearance. It was obvious that his calmness had given courage to the people of the Gu family village. People cheered up one after another and hugged Yuan Qinglang to give him silent support.

Yuan Qinglang glanced slowly over the group of people, and said to one of the leaders, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

Yuan Qinglang didn't ask what happened to this group of people, anyone could tell that there was going to be a big battle today.

The leader of Duofang said: "Stop talking nonsense, get out of the truth now, and give you a way to survive, otherwise, leave your life here." As he said, he searched in the Gu family village, and said to the last person: "Zhou Sheng, what did you do? Didn't you say that everyone is asleep at this time? Why are people gathered here?"

The crowd exploded with a roar, and everyone backed away a few steps, and the few meters around Zhou Sheng turned into a vacuum zone. Seeing this, Zhou Sheng immediately ran to the opposite side, but when he passed by Xiao Qiao, he was caught by Xiao Qiao. Grabbing the handle, Zhou Sheng scrambled with all four limbs, while Xiao Qiao remained motionless.

Yuan Qinglang looked at Zhou Sheng sternly, and said loudly to the villagers: "Betrayer, what to do."

Yuan Yushu replied loudly: "Kill."

The villagers followed and shouted: "Kill."

Impulsive villagers rushed up and gave Zhou Sheng a hoe without hesitation. Seeing this, the others went over to make up for it a few times. After a few hits, Zhou Sheng was dead.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao backed away when the crowd rushed up, and stood aside, watching coldly.

From the very beginning, the two of them just wanted to live well in such a chaotic world. They didn't want to fight for power or make contributions. Freedom is an absolutely pure pursuit of ideals, and any combination of desires is nothing but the existence of bondage .

However, the two lived in Gujia Village, and when Gujia Village was in trouble, they naturally faced the enemy bravely, and it was their duty to do so.

Besides, Gu Leng had a small idea in his heart, probably because he had read some cultivation novels before, and he always felt that helping others would be of great benefit to the cultivation itself and the mirror of the heart, and maybe in the future, if there is a catastrophe, the way of heaven I will also show mercy to myself.

Being open-minded and kind by nature, coupled with such thoughts, Gu Leng always thinks to help more if he can help without revealing his space.

When the people of the Gu family village "dealt with" Zhou Sheng, the traitor, dozens of people from the other side rushed over wielding big knives.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao took the lead and went up to meet her.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Hai and Yuan Yushu also raised their knives to fight fiercely.

After half an hour of melee, the war was finally over.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao fought bravely against the enemy, and only a few people in Gujia Village were injured, while the outside gang was wiped out.Occasionally, a few ran out, but Gu Leng didn't chase after them. Such a few people are difficult to achieve, and it is good to spread the fierce reputation of Gu's Village. Those who have ideas about Gu's Village should weigh themselves portion.

After this battle, the men in Gujia Village became much stronger after seeing blood.

The security issues in the village need to be arranged immediately.

Discussing the issue of patrolling and deploying defenses in the village is still at the village head's house. Gu Leng found that Yuan Qinglang and his son were sitting next to the village head, and the villagers who came would greet them one by one.

Gu Leng sighed, after the battle last night, Yuan Qinglang and his son's prestige in the village has gradually increased. The two of them have means and ambitions, and Gu Gang's status is worrying.

The result of the final discussion is that six people are arranged to patrol the village every day, and whenever there is a situation, they will beat gongs and drums.The captain of the patrol is Yuan Yushu.

However, Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao have high martial arts values, and they were entrusted by the village head to teach the villagers martial arts. Just one hour after dinner every night, Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao readily agreed.
