The Tight Embrace of the End Times

Go outside the door of the room and gently push the door open.

The house was as warm as spring, and there was plenty of firewood in the big fireplace, which was crackling. Wang Shuo was sitting by the bed at this moment, with his back to the door, and even the two people who came in did not respond.

"Big brother? Big brother?" Xiao Qiao called out twice.

His posture did not move at all, as if a sculpture, maintaining a posture.

After a while, Wang Shuo held the hands of the person on the bed and pressed them to his face, tilted his head slightly, and said hoarsely: "You guys are here, shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb him."

Gu Leng walked to the side of the bed. Under the thick quilt lay a thin and disfigured man, with his eyes closed and his sallow skin. If he was not familiar with his facial features, he would not be able to tell at all. This is the slightly Shy Nianxia.

"Xiao Qiao and Gu Leng came to see you in Nian Xia, you must be very happy to see them, open your eyes and have a look." What kind of voice was that, full of pain and pleading.

Gu Leng clearly saw Nian Xia's eyelids move, as if it took all his strength, but he did not open his eyes after all.

"That day, 8 days ago, he went outside to pour water, but he slipped and fell unexpectedly. After I came back, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect to have a high fever that night. It was my fault, it was so cold. I shouldn’t have asked him to pour water because of the weather, and I shouldn’t have thought he was wearing too many clothes and didn’t care when he slipped and fell.”

"I have used all the medicines and methods I can find, but why can't he recover? Who can tell me, what should I do? I can't do it, I can't do it, I just watched him step by step Going to die, and I can only stand here like a piece of trash..."

Wang Shuo turned his head slowly, startling Gu Leng, his beard was unshaven, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyeballs were protruding. Maybe Nian Xia fell ill for a few days, and he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days. It won't last too long.

"Brother, it's not a solution for you to stay here like this. You should sleep for a while, don't wake up in Nian Xia and faint from your appearance."

"Will he wake up again? No, I know, he won't wake up. I have never told him, I, I like him, I..." Wang Shuo broke down in tears, unable to maintain his sitting position, his body After shaking a few times, it hit the ground directly.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to support him who was about to fall, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I'm sorry, brother, you need to sleep."

A quick blow to Wang Shuo's neck made him fall asleep. Afterwards, Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao gently carried him to the bed and let him sleep next to Nian Xia.

Gu Leng searched in the space, found some cold medicine, looked at the production date, the shelf life is three years, if calculated according to the normal date, it has been almost two years since the medicine was purchased, so it is still within the shelf life, but He drank a glass of boiled water, dissolved the medicine in the glass, half-supported Nian Xia to sit up, and brought the glass to his mouth: "Nian Xia, you can hear it, it's cold medicine, open your mouth and drink it. Just drink it."

Nian Xia's lips trembled, her dry lips seemed to be glued together, without opening or closing even a single gap.

"He can't drink it by himself." Gu Leng looked at Xiao Qiao who was standing beside the bed with concern.

Xiao Qiao nodded: "Then pour it down."

Gu Leng gently pinched Nian Xia's cheeks with his hands, stepped back a little, made him tilt his head back, and gently poured a whole glass of water mixed with cold medicine into his mouth, fortunately, Nian Xia's desire to survive is very strong. Although it is difficult to swallow, only a small part flows out of the mouth, and most of it goes into the stomach. Gu Leng is slightly relieved, as long as there is still food to eat.

Neither of them studied medicine, and they only had the medicine that Gu Leng hoarded before the end of the world, so they could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Fortunately, Gu Leng has a spring of space, which can strengthen the body and stimulate vitality Come to think of it, it can play a major role in Nianxia when the body is weak and has a severe cold.

"Xiao Qiao, let's boil a pot of boiled water and boil it with spring water. Then we will dissolve cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine in the spring water every half hour and give it to Nian Xia. The result depends on his fortune. gone."

While feeding the medicine, Gu Leng boiled a large pot of ginger soup with a lot of ginger in spring water, and poured it down for Nian Xia every once in a while.

Considering Wang Shuo, Xiao Qiao also boiled a pot of fish porridge with spring water, simmering it on the stove, gurgling, the fish melted into the porridge, and white foam appeared.

The two continued to be busy repeatedly like this. After a full eight hours, Gu Leng touched Nian Xia's forehead, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his forehead didn't seem so hot anymore. Of course, the indoor temperature is so high, it may be own illusion.

"Xiao Qiao, come and see if he has a fever? I can't tell."

Xiao Qiao also came over to test the temperature: "It seems that the fever has subsided."

Gu Leng looked at Nian Xia in surprise. After experiencing so many things together, he saw his little friend lying on the bed so silently, as if he was dying, and felt very uncomfortable. At this moment, Nian Xia The eyes that had been closed for a long time finally opened under Gu Leng's close attention.

"Nianxia, ​​you're awake, that's great. Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water?" In ordinary TV dramas, the first sentence of a comatose person waking up is to drink water. Gu Leng is familiar with it. asked.

"No..., no more water, I, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Oh, yes, you drank so much water, I'll help you up."

Gu Leng supported Nian Xia, but Nian Xia had been lying down for too long, she had no strength at all, and she couldn't even sit still, so why walk to the bathroom?

Scratching his head, Gu Leng took a look at Xiao Qiao. In an emergency, this guy wouldn't be jealous, would he?

He picked up the weak Nian Xia and sent him to the bathroom.

After a while, Gu Leng carried Nian Xia back again, put him on the bed, put two oversized pillows behind him, let him lean on the bed for a while.

"Nianxia, ​​I'll serve you some fish porridge to nourish your body." Gu Leng said as he walked to the stove, Xiao Qiao pulled his sleeves and motioned him to look back.

Nian Xia was leaning on the bed at this time, turning sideways with difficulty, tracing the lines on Wang Shuo's face with his hands, staring silently, as if forever.

Xiao Qiao tugged on Gu Leng's sleeve again: "Let's go out and let them spend a while alone."

"it is good."

After leaving the room door, several of Wang Shuo's subordinates were walking around anxiously outside the door. When they saw the two people coming out, they all cast questioning looks.

The subordinate who brought Gu Leng in was also among them. He walked up and asked on behalf of the others: "How is it? Brother, is everything okay, Nian Xia..."

Gu Leng nodded reassuringly to several people, "Wang Shuo is sleeping, and Nian Xia just woke up, it's all fine, you all go to your own business, don't stay outside the door, everything will return to normal."

The other people left in a relaxed mood, only the subordinate who picked them up was still there, hesitating for a moment and said: "When I came in, I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it, you, you guys Can you see the relationship between Brother Wang and Nian Xia?"

"Isn't it just a romantic relationship? There's nothing hard to say, haven't you ever been in a relationship?" Gu Leng pretended to be puzzled.

"No..., not..., but, they are two men." The subordinate stammered.

"What's wrong with men? Men can't fall in love?"

"No, of course men can fall in love, but don't men talk to women? Why do two men start to fall in love with each other?"

Now Gu Leng has completely figured it out, this subordinate of feelings doesn't know about same-sex love at all! ! !It's not because of rejection that it's difficult to speak, but because of ignorance and confusion!

Gu Leng couldn't help sizing up the person in front of him. He looked at 25 or 6 years old, about his age, with an honest look on his face. Maybe it's because he lived in this small town since he was a child, didn't go out much, and had limited contact, so his thoughts must be simple.

Patting the shoulder of the person in front of him, Gu Lengyu said earnestly: "It's normal for a man to fall in love with a man. Many foreign countries have laws that allow marriage. It's just as normal to fall in love with a man and a woman. It's as normal to drink water, dress and eat every day. , There are many such people in big cities in China. You must not have gone out much, so you don’t know? Don’t do this in the future. Your boss is just in a relationship. You have to support it. I will look down on you and think you are ignorant!"

"Oh, so that's how it is!" The subordinate's eyes lit up, as if he had found the answer to all his doubts, "I did grow up in the town since I was a child, and when I grew up, I found a man in Zhenshan. Live, no wonder I don’t know, the boss is really knowledgeable, follow him, not only can you eat well, wear warm clothes, but also learn a lot!”

The subordinate walked away with ease.

Xiao Qiao scratched Gu Leng's palm a few times, seeing him fooling an honest man, he couldn't help showing deep sympathy for this subordinate.

After being bored in the house all day, it was still early in the morning when we came here, and the moon was already hanging on the branches. The two of them took a walk in the big yard for a while, and when they returned to the room, Wang Shuo had already woken up.

He and Nian Xia looked at each other affectionately, telling each other their loyalty, as if they couldn't tolerate a third person, Gu Leng coughed a few times and said, "There is fish soup on the stove, let's eat some."

Afterwards, he dragged Xiao Qiao out again, found that honest subordinate, and asked him to prepare a room for the two of them, not to be the light bulb for the two who were almost separated.
