The Tight Embrace of the End Times

On the day of Gu Hai's wedding, Xiao Qiao put a big hat on Gu Leng early in the morning, wrapped a thick scarf around him, and wrapped him in a coat made of real materials. Gu Hai reconciled, and watched the two of them walk a long way before returning home.

Because the ground was full of ice, the car would slip when driving up, so I had to walk to the bride's house and pick up the bride.

Gu Leng is not so much a best man, but a bodyguard. If Gu Leng wasn't there, Aunt He and the others wouldn't worry about letting Gu Hai pick up the bride alone. To put it bluntly, if he fell somewhere or met someone Now, there is always a caregiver by his side, and there is only such a son in their family, don't make happy events into funerals, Aunt He and the others cannot accept this blow.

Fortunately, Gu's Village is not far from the bride's village, just go out of the village entrance and go around two hills.

Both of them took a piece of wood in their hands and used it as a walking stick. The road is too slippery, and the walking stick can act as a support when they are about to slip.

Gu Hai hummed while walking, and said, "Brother Xiao Leng, you said my heart is beating non-stop, I can feel it is going to jump out of my chest in the next moment, is it abnormal for me to behave like this?" ?”

"You are too excited, you are too excited."

"But I don't think so. I'm not as happy as I was a few days ago. Instead, I'm a little depressed. After all, Xu Xu and I have only met a few times since we grew up. Although we both have a good feeling for each other, but After all, we have never really gotten along. I am worried that we will have many conflicts when we live together. I am worried that we will quarrel. I am worried that we will find out that we are not suitable after we get married. I am worried that I will not be able to give her a good life. I also think about children. What if I can’t be a good father after we have a child? If there is no breast milk, what will the child eat? Now there is no medical treatment, what if the child is sick? To be honest, I now have the urge to turn around and go home.”

Gu Leng thought it was a bit funny, "You, you probably have a pre-marital phobia, right? You're thinking about the long-term. I advise you, stop thinking about it. It is undeniable that after a couple gets married, there will definitely be conflicts. , but if the two parties communicate well, understand each other, and work hard to manage this marriage, I believe life will get better and better."

"Hey, I'm just mediocre now, causing a lot of troubles in vain."

"Are your things heavy? Do you need me to carry a section instead?" Gu Leng saw that Gu Hai was carrying a big bag on his shoulders. It should be something for his mother-in-law's family.

"I can still recite it." Gu Hai shyly said, "My mother packed some corn and sweet potatoes, and the frozen tofu you gave me, and I also asked her to pack some for Xu Xu's family."

These days, when both parties get married, the dowry and dowry are usually food. If there is more in the family, more will be given, and if there is less, less will be given.

Gu Leng saw a small pool at the foot of the mountain, and a thick layer of ice had formed on the pool. Gu Leng heard that the pond freezes in winter, and the fish under the ice will lack oxygen. At this time, just cut a hole in the ice, The little fish will rush out of the hole.

Although I haven't seen it, Gu Leng is a little eager to try it.

Walking to the water pool, I tried to stomp my feet, but the ice did not move at all.

At this moment, Gu Leng couldn't help being surprised. If you know how strong he is after training, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is as strong as Qian Xi. He used [-]% of his strength just now, but there is no reaction on the ice surface. Even without a single crack, you can tell how thick the ice layer is.

"Brother Leng, don't try it. Someone in the village tried to dig ice to catch fish, but he was almost frozen on the ice. After he came back, he heard that his leg was broken and he was frozen. Come up quickly." Seeing that Gu Leng was standing on the ice, Hai immediately became anxious. He was not worried that Gu Leng would fall into the pool, because the ice was thick enough for people to jump and jump on it. He was worried that Gu Leng would stand on the ice. If you do it for a long time, your legs will be frozen.

"I'm fine, you stand far away." Gu Leng signaled Gu Hai to stay away from Shui Tan, then he took a step back, gathered 6% of his strength in his right hand, and hit the ice with a fist, and immediately jumped to the side, with one fist A black hole the size of a black hole appeared on the ice surface. At the same time, the pool water under the ice surface spewed out from the mouth of the hole, spraying water more than one meter high. Many small fishes the size of palms were also carried away by this force. When it reached the ice, its snow-white fish scales were exposed. It bounced a few times on the ice and then stopped moving.

"GuHai, hurry up and pack things up, or you'll be frozen on the ice."

"Oh, oh, good." Gu Hai on the side was stunned, and Gu Leng reminded him that someone hurriedly opened the backpack on his back, poured corn and sweet potatoes together, made a bag, and put the fish in it.

Gu Leng came here a few more times, and Gu Hai filled the bag with palm-sized small fish.

Although the few people who came back from the sea brought back a lot of salted fish, sea fish itself is different from freshwater fish, let alone one is dried salted fish and the other is fresh fish.

"Take these fish and go to your Yue's house. You can also add fish head tofu at night. Everyone will be happy."

"Brother Leng, thank you."

"Thank you, it's just a little effort."

The two continued to walk to the bride's house.

It took about an hour to walk to the village where the bride's home is located.

Along the way, there was no one in sight.

This small village was quiet, desolate and dilapidated, the two walked to the door of the bride's house, knocked on the door knocker, and waited patiently for a while, but no one answered, Gu Leng frowned, as if no one lived here.

Because I have been walking around before, I feel that the cold is bearable.But after standing in front of the bride's house for a few minutes, Gu Hai felt that he could no longer feel the existence of his feet, his feet had been frozen and he lost consciousness.

"Ah, brother Leng, I can't feel my feet anymore."

"Quick, jump and run."

Gu Hai immediately let go of the fish bag in his hand, and when it reached the backpack behind him, he couldn't stand upright, couldn't maintain his balance, and wanted to fall to the ground.

Gu Leng hurriedly supported Gu Hai, stretched out his hand to take off the backpack for him, and patted him a few times before Gu Hai recovered, and immediately started running in front of the bride's house.

When the body gradually became hot, he opened his voice and shouted: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Is anyone at home? Xu Xu? Xu Xu?"

Called for a while, still no one answered.

Gu Hai started to worry, worried if something happened to the bride's house.You must know that some people may fall asleep unknowingly in the cold night because of insufficient heat preservation, and then never wake up again.

Gu Hai rushed up and shouted Xu Xu's name while banging on the door hard.

"Oh, Gu Hai, I just said that I heard your voice. Today is the day you and Xu Xu get married. I have been paying attention to the situation here. It's my fault that I didn't tell you clearly. We live in the back room now. Mountain, let’s go, follow me to the back mountain.” A middle-aged man was wearing a torn quilt, with his head shrunk, trotting over and said.

"Uncle Xu? Are you all right?" It turned out that this middle-aged man was the bride's father and Gu Hai's father-in-law. Gu Hai finally felt relieved when he saw that his father-in-law was fine.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go, the two of them are in the back mountain, I'll take you there."

Gu Hai put his backpack back on his back, carrying a bag of fish, and walked behind Xu's father.

After twisting and turning, Xu's father took the two of them to a hidden cave, opened the wooden door at the entrance of the cave, and the two walked in, suddenly enlightened.

I didn't expect the cave to be so big, let alone so many people here!Visually, there were hundreds of people, and there were many small fires burning inside. They gathered together as a family and were busy with their own affairs. When they saw Uncle Xu bring Gu Leng and Gu Hai in, they just glanced at them. Just keep busy with the job at hand.

Xu's mother came up to her and said: "Quick, quick, come here, it's freezing outside, drink some water." After saying that, Xu's mother led the two of them to a fire and sat down. Xu Xu beside the fire didn't know It was because of shyness, but still being illuminated by the fire, his face flushed, he silently handed Gu Hai a cup of hot water, and brought another cup of water to Gu Leng.

Gu Leng looked around and asked curiously, "Auntie, do all the people in your village live here?"

"Yeah, we all live together in winter, and at least it won't be so cold if we live here. In case..., there is someone who will know and take care of us." Xu's mother suddenly realized that she shouldn't Saying these unlucky words on this day, he piled up a smiling face and said: "Look at me, why are you talking about this, Xiao Hai, are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will make something to eat."

"I'm not hungry, I came here after I had breakfast." Gu Hai hurriedly replied, he knew that Gu's village should be considered good, other villages can't compare, and what Xu Xu's family has is clear at a glance, it should be that there is not much food of.

Gu Hai handed the food in the backpack and the fish in his hand to Mother Xu.

Xu's mother opened it and was surprised and delighted. These things can be eaten for many days without eating. Since it is the first time for the son-in-law to bring it to the door, there is no reason to return it. Moreover, looking at it this way, the life of the Gu family is really real. It's much better. The family I found for my daughter is the right one. If nothing else, I should be able to eat and clothe myself warmly.

At the moment, he was even more courteous to greet Gu Hai, which made Gu Hai feel quite embarrassed.

"Auntie, uncle..."

"What else can I call you auntie, uncle, quickly call your father-in-law, mother-in-law, or mom and dad."

"Yue, father-in-law, mother-in-law." Gu Hai blushed and said, "It's getting late, it's time to leave, go to my house, let's have a meal together."

Xu's mother pushed Xu's father, Xu's father rubbed his hands, and said in shame: "Gu Hai, my legs are not very good, and your mother-in-law can't stand the cold, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go to your house. We want to send our daughter there too. But the physical condition really doesn’t allow it. I know that I’m really sorry for my in-laws. I hope you can go back and explain it to your parents for us. My daughter, I’m begging you. Gu Hai, I’m optimistic about you, I hope you can do well To my daughter." As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.

Get married now, keep everything simple, the two families sit together and have a meal on the day of the wedding, the marriage is done, this is considered the most important step, if one party is not present, then it is enough to neglect.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you are not in good health. I understand, and my parents and family will understand too. Don't feel guilty. Don't worry, Xu Xu has entered my house. I will treat her well. My family members are also kind. A lenient person will definitely treat Xu Xu well."

"With your words, I feel relieved." Xu's father and Xu's mother kept wiping away tears, and said to Xu Xu with a look of reluctance: "Daughter, you were not born at a good time, so I can't give you a grand birthday." For the wedding, your parents owe you a debt, but Gu Hai is a good guy, and the Gu family is also a good family, after you get there, you have to work hard to understand?"

Xu Xu jumped up and hugged Xu's father and Xu's mother, crying and said: "Mom and Dad, it's not your fault. I thank you for raising me so much. You are not in good health and worry about my affairs. I'm married. You will be married to me in the future." Take good care of yourself, you know? I will come back to see you as soon as I have time."

"Nonsense, you are a member of the Gu family after you married, don't come back if you have nothing to do, it's not safe." Xu's father looked at Gu Hai nervously, afraid that Gu Hai would have objections to his daughter's words.

Even before the apocalypse, in the 21st century with convenient transportation and material civilization, some families disliked their wives returning to their natal homes frequently, let alone such inconvenient transportation and uneasy apocalypse. He became nervous and bitter, worried that Gu Hai would feel that marrying a wife back was equivalent to marrying back her whole family.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xu Xu is the only child of both of you. She has the obligation to support you. Now that she is married to me, we both need to fulfill the obligation of support. Of course I don't support Xu Xu coming back often, because The road is not safe, I am worried, but the life over there is better than here, if you agree, you can move to live with us, we will take care of you nearby, and you can often see your daughter, this should be the best Good decision."

The three members of the Xu family all looked at Gu Hai with surprised and moved faces. Gu Hai scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"My daughter, I have someone to rely on. Our old couple didn't misunderstand the person. Gu Hai, I really want to thank you, but our old couple can live a good life now. As for going to your place, you go back and ask your in-laws. Father-in-law and mother, if they agree, when you two have children, we will take the children for you. Xu Xu, follow Gu Hai and live a good life in the future, you know? Live a good life and hand you over to Gu Hai. Hai, let us rest assured."

Gu Leng, Gu Hai and Xu Xu, under the tearful eyes of the elders of the Xu family, embarked on their return journey.
