The Tight Embrace of the End Times

The staple food of the day is barbecue. There is no fresh pork. The pork is salted. Put the pork on the fire and roast it until it is half-ripe, then evenly brush it with pure natural wild honey, turn it over and grill it, make sure it is heated evenly, and finally come out The most important thing is the barbecue with a honey-colored luster and excellent color and fragrance.

I also made a messy stew, put corn, lotus root slices, and yam into the pot together, add water in the middle, boil for an hour, the milky white soup is filled with tender yellow corn, and finally add a little salt , Stir it clockwise with a spoon, it is also delicious.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao finished the meal together and called the others to get up.

During the meal, Gu Leng also invited Li Fugui and his wife. Li Fugui and his wife knew that the food was rare and precious. Even after Gu Leng's repeated persuasion, the couple only ate a bunch of barbecue meat and stopped eating.

Instead, Gu Leng served him the random stewed soup. Li Fugui said it was delicious, but he only tasted it, and never took another sip. Instead, he stuffed the soup bowl into his wife's hand, and his wife Ali I also drank a few more sips according to my husband's intention, and then I didn't drink any more, but wanted to take the soup back for my children to drink.

Li Fugui said this: "This soup is yellow and white, so beautiful. I heard that it is stewed with corn, yam and lotus root slices. I just thought that Ali must like this soup. What do I eat? It doesn't matter, let Ali eat."

Ali also has her own thoughts on this: "I know the heart of riches and honor, so I drank a few more, but there are children at home, this corn, lotus root slices, especially yam, can supplement some nutrition for children , or let the children eat."

Pity the parents of the world.

Gu Leng simply gave a few large pieces of lotus root and a small bag of yam to Li Fugui and his wife.

Li Fugui thanked again and again: "Thank you so much, but I can't take your stuff for nothing. Just wait, I'll go back and get you something."

After finishing speaking, Li Fugui quickly ran away, Ali said with a smile: "He is like this, he doesn't take advantage of others at all, but he often suffers. I used to~, hey, I used to be angry with him. My mother also said when she was alive that if I stayed with him for the rest of my life, I would suffer endlessly, but who would have thought of it now? I am also lucky to have married such a man, and I am content. "

Gu Leng listened to Ali's emotion with a smile, and he said with a smile: "Then you found gold from the sand, and only you can find the gold."

Ali was even happier when she heard that, she knew that it was Gu Leng who was praising her: "Hey, we're both old and married." She was also proud of her vision.

As Gu Leng walked along, all he saw were young people, mostly men in their prime, few women and children, fewer elderly people, and the only disabled person was Ali. She got the greatest kindness in her life in return.

Li Fugui came in a hurry, and what he brought was a basket of cabbages, so green and tender, the roots were even covered with moist brown soil, "You are eating, I thought, you may have to go to the next I only ate cabbage immediately, so I specially brought more soil so that the freshness can last." Li Fugui said with a smile.

After everyone had eaten and packed up, they bid farewell to Li Fugui and his wife and continued their journey.

After another two days and nights, when he saw the dilapidated gatehouse not far away, Uncle Wu who led the way finally announced: "Yanghai City (namely City Y, the destination of Gu Leng's trip) has arrived."

Everyone cheered and finally arrived at the destination. It seemed that the sea breeze could be smelled in the air—the smell of fishy, ​​salty and damp.

Although Yanghai City faces the sea on one side, it is not developed.

This point can be seen from the low and dilapidated gatehouse, which family has the ability not to install the facade.

The car slowly drove into Yanghai City. This was the first time for Gu Leng and the others to drive into the urban area after passing through so many villages and towns.

There are no high-rise buildings in the urban area, and even clean newly built houses with brighter colors are rare. They are all low and dilapidated houses. Probably because it is a city by the sea, the air is much more humid than other places, and many houses have outer walls. The wall covering on the ceiling has peeled off and looks mottled.

What's even more strange is that there are not many people in Yanghai City, not because of the hot weather, they are all hiding at home, the car is moving forward slowly, Gu Leng pays attention all the way, there are really not many people in Yanghai City, the car drove for a kilometer Well, within a radius of one kilometer, Gu Leng could only hear the breathing of a few people. This is inconceivable for a city, for a residential area full of houses, and it was obvious that it was once full of people.

Yanghai City seems to have become an "empty city".

Everyone's hearts were pounding, such a weird scene made everyone's muscles tense, and their whole bodies and minds were lifted.

But as a last resort, to get to the beach, you have to go through the entire Yanghai City, and the car continued to move forward slowly.

Gu Leng wandered around, and could occasionally see someone standing on the balcony on the second floor, watching these three cars indifferently.Gu Leng met the eyes of one of them, and that person's eyes were empty and dead, as if nothing could touch his heart.

He, they, what have they experienced?

There is no end to the day in Yanghai City, the sun follows its own trajectory, the sun rises and the moon sets, alternating cycles.

Although there are so many vacant houses in Yanghai City, most of Gu Leng and his party are still unwilling to live in these houses. Instead, they find a wasteland with only a few haystacks far away from these houses to stay and spend their time there. throughout the day.

As usual, park the car, eat something to cushion your stomach, get a good sleep, and then prepare to leave.

This meal was made in Nianxia. I cut some fat and white pork and stir-fried it in a pan. After some oil was fried, put the vegetables in and quickly stir-fry a few times, then pour boiling water in, and the vegetable soup is ready.

Eating vegetable soup alone is not enough, and Nian Xia made a pot of tortillas with cornmeal.

A mouthful of tortillas and a mouthful of vegetable and bacon soup, it is really refreshing for the body and mind.

Eight people gathered around to eat, and suddenly a middle-aged man wearing a shirt that couldn't see the original color, trouser legs of different lengths, and hair tangled with mud, was holding a broken bowl, and came from behind Nian Xia. Stretch it out, and said in your mouth: "Please do it, please do it. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child in my family. I am waiting to be fed at home. Give it to someone who stutters. Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless you."

I really didn't expect that in the end of the world, there are still people begging for food and uttering such classic sentences.

Can't you use dim sum?Even if other people felt sympathy in their hearts, they were sent back by your words.
