The Tight Embrace of the End Times

In addition to farm work, Gu Leng’s daily routine is to cultivate, and occasionally watch TV. There are no more fancy programs on TV, colorful clothes, and a satisfied face in a rich life. There is only one national TV station left. The tired-faced host selectively broadcasts some realities in various places, which has become the only way for most people to know the outside world.

The Internet has been completely cut off since the traffic was paralyzed, and the communication signal was intermittent. Most of the time, calls could not be made, nor could they be dialed out.

The news host broadcast the country's latest policy, the global power cut, and the national leaders responded to the global call. Starting tomorrow, the use of domestic power will be limited.

As soon as it was broadcast, people were completely blown away. People from other places Gu Leng didn’t know about it. They only knew that people in Gu’s village were digging holes in their own yards. Gu Leng thought about it carefully. This is indeed a good way. Ability, presumably people in other places can also think of a safe way to survive this hot weather.

Gu Leng's cultivation base is getting higher and higher, his body can always automatically adjust to the most comfortable body temperature, he is not afraid of the cold, and still lives in his room.

Gu Leng exerted all his strength, and it wouldn't decrease even if he used it. After finishing his work, he was about to go out to see Mrs. Qian's house for a favor. As soon as he walked to the door, Mrs. Qian came over with her daughter Niuniu. Expressing the idea of ​​hiring Gu Leng to dig a hole, he handed out the 5 corns in his hand with a face full of shame and apprehension. Gu sneered, accepted the corn, and went to Mrs. Qian's house to help.

After working all night, I finally dug a space of 3 meters high and about 9 square meters, which is enough for the mother and daughter to live in.

After a busy night last night, Gu Leng was struggling a bit. When he woke up, the moon was already high in the sky.

"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong..."

There were continuous and rhythmic knocks on the door. The villagers had no special circumstances and would not disturb Gu Leng. Gu Leng was thinking about who it was. When he opened the door and saw Xiao Qiao standing outside the door, Gu Leng felt A burst of surprise.

"You, why are you here? No, no, I welcome you very much."

"So, I'm here to stay, and you are welcome too."

"Welcome, we are short of a strong man."

The two looked at each other and smiled, looking forward to the next "cohabitation" life.

There are 4 rooms in Gu Leng's house. Except for the room where the grandfather used to live and the room where Gu Leng lived, the other rooms are all piled up with sundries, and it takes a lot of effort to clean them out.Xiao Qiao volunteered to sleep on the floor of Gu Leng's room, euphemistically saying: "It's close, so it's easy to take care of."

In fact, Gu Leng also hopes to get closer to Xiao Qiao, to draw the relationship closer, and it is best to sublimate it into a relationship of lovers. Thinking of this, Gu Leng shyly touched his cheek, it was hot, it must be red, of course She acquiesced to Xiao Qiao's self-assertion.

Xiao Qiao brought all his belongings here this time, the inside of the van was full, and the roof was tied high with ropes, Gu Leng finally saw the sturdy steel door that Xiao Qiao was talking about, uh Gu Leng broke into a cold sweat for Xiao Qiao. Fortunately, Xiao Qiao is now under Gu Leng's nose. From now on, he will cover him by himself. Gu Leng Think boldly.

Working together with Xiao Qiao to pack up his belongings, Gu Leng saw that it was still early, so he took Xiao Qiao to the village chief's house.

Xiao Qiao will live here all the time, and she has to report to the village chief for reasons.

The village head and his wife were both there, and they didn't move when they saw Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao coming, as if they were about to die, their faces were stiff and numb, Gu Leng thought about it and he knew the reason, the only son of the village head - Gu Yong, The successful son who has been raised with painstaking efforts has not yet returned, how can the two old people be happy.

Gu Leng slowed down his voice and explained the purpose of coming, and introduced Xiao Qiao, then stopped, waiting for the village chief to make a statement before leaving.

After a long while, the village head finally spoke the first words Gu Leng said after entering the door: "If you want me to agree to this young man living in our village, yes, but I have one condition."

"What conditions? Village head, many families have relatives who have moved in recently. I haven't heard of any conditions to be met?" Gu Leng asked suspiciously.

"Village chief, what are your conditions?" Xiao Qiao frowned. He smelled a hint of scheme through the village chief's long silence just now.

The village chief slapped himself on the thigh, and said with determination: "My son, A Yong, made a phone call. Although it was intermittent, I could hear him clearly. He said he was out of the market, and he would be there in a day's walk." In the county seat, my condition is: you drive to the county seat tomorrow night to pick up Ah Yong's family."

"Village chief, I respect you for being the village chief and an old man, but what you did is unethical," Gu said coldly.

Xiao Qiao didn't wait for Gu Leng to finish speaking, pulled Gu Leng out with a sullen face, and said as he walked, "Xiao Leng, let's go, what time is it, living in a friend's relative's house is not illegal, and the house is your own , let's live our own lives, don't get involved in these things."

Before reaching the door, the wife of the village head who was chasing up from behind hugged her leg, and she hissed: "Xiao Leng, Leng, I know you are capable, you have a car, and you are very skilled. , you poor poor aunt, aunt and your uncle have nothing to do, we don't know if Ah Yong can make it to the county town alive, but even if there is a glimmer of hope, we have to grab it, this condition is what I asked your uncle to say If you want to blame me, you can blame me. If Ah Yong doesn't come back, the aunt won't survive. If you want the life of the aunt, the aunt will give it to you now, without ambiguity, Xiao Leng, when you were a child, the aunt hugged you Well, your brother Yong gave you sweets, your brother Yong's child is only 6 years old, you are pitiful, poor aunt, please help aunt, aunt can't help it."

"Auntie, auntie, get up quickly."

Seeing such an old man kneeling here with snot and tears, Gu Leng felt very uncomfortable. Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao hurriedly helped the aunt up, but the aunt was fat, like a weight, and flicked left and right Suddenly, Xiao Qiao and Gu Leng really have nothing to do with this aunt.

It was the village head uncle who severely reprimanded the aunt before making her stand up: "This is my own idea, I..."

"This is the condition I think. We two old men have lived for so many years. You can know what I mean by blinking your eyes. The bad guy is my wife. My face is worthless, and my life is not worth anything. Xiao Leng, please help me, I really can't help it!"

"Auntie, don't talk about it, the town is in such a mess, and the county will only be more chaotic. I won't let Xiao Leng take risks." Xiao Qiao said hurriedly.

The village head's wife saw Xiao Qiao, a strange boy, tearing down her stage like this, she was frightened and angry, she yelled, and rushed to beat and scold Xiao Qiao, but Xiao Qiao couldn't fight back and beat an old man, so she had to hug him. The head is running around, how can it be a random word.

Gu Leng and the village chief hurried forward to pull the two of them apart. Before the village chief's wife could stand upright or catch her breath, she roared, "Xiao Leng, you have to follow this condition no matter what. Don't think that we are old He is a vegetarian. If you don’t agree, this young man won’t even think about staying in our village. You think we won’t be able to cure you when we’re old and the world is in chaos. We, the old couple, still have prestige, and the people in our family don’t Duo, let me say a word, the whole village helped me drive this young man away, even you don't even want to stay in this village, what's the matter, is it this young man who wants to leave, or you want to leave too!"

Xiao Qiao held Gu Leng's shoulders, both of them looked at the village chief with a cold face, the village chief sat back to his original position, lowered his head and smoked, his attitude said everything.

Gu Leng stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Qiao's words, Xiao Qiao looked at Gu Leng, hugged Gu Leng's shoulders tightly, and silently supported any decision Gu Leng made, Gu Leng's heart warmed up, and he was no longer angry. Angry people in this world are angry There are many things to do, as long as the people I care about support him, it will be fine.Then he sneered and said to the village chief's wife: "Mother, you are forcing me."

The village chief's wife put on a kind face and said, "Xiao Leng, my aunt and uncle treat you well. I never asked you for anything. If this thing didn't happen and didn't point to you in return, you should be pitiful." Poor uncle and aunt's loving heart." After a pause, he added: "Your uncle is also old, and the village is in such a predicament that we need someone capable to guide everyone to find a way out. Your Brother Yong is one of the best in the neighborhood. A capable person, and an official, you should think of the villagers in the entire Gujia Village."

He also promised: "When Brother Yong becomes the village chief, Xiao Leng, you and this young man will be his right and left hands. The aunt's family will not treat you badly."

Gu Leng had already calmed down. Hearing what the village chief's wife said, he was actually amused: "Ma'am, you are really talented."

Turning around, pulling Xiao Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, let's go."

The village head lady was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after her and said in multiple voices: "Then Xiao Leng, what are you talking about?"

"I agree." Gu Leng waved his hand and said loudly.

Then he turned to Xiao Qiao who was looking at him and said: "The village chief and the aunt helped our family before. Gu Yong never did anything wrong to me when he was a child. We grew up together. If we can save him, I naturally want to save him." , paused, and then said: "However, the village chief has done his best, and Gu Yong will never take over." After saying the cruel words, he smiled: "Xiao Qiao, don't take it to heart, it's not strange you."

"I'll be with you." Xiao Qiao said with a gentle face.

"Ah."

Afterwards, Gu Leng took Xiao Qiao to identify his own land, and introduced Aunt He's family to Xiao Qiao. When he met villagers along the way, they also greeted them politely and introduced them to Xiao Qiao in a low voice.

On the way home, she met Mrs. Qian and her daughter Niuniu, who were still wearing coarse linen clothes. Mrs. Qian pulled her daughter over from afar, and when she got in front of Gu Leng, she let go of Niuniu and said loudly, "Kneel down."

Niuniu knelt down obediently, and Sao Qian also bent her knees. Before she knelt down completely, Gu Leng, who had reacted, quickly hugged Sao Qian: "Sister Qian, please speak up if you have something to say."

And Xiao Qiao immediately pulled Niuniu up and looked at Gu Leng.

"Xiao Leng, I know you are going to pick Gu Yong back. My guy called me a while ago and said he was with Gu Yong. You must bring him back for me too. We orphans and widows are hard to live with." ah."

Seeing that Mrs. Qian wanted to continue talking, Gu Yong hurriedly said: "Sister Qian, as long as Brother Qian is with Gu Yong, I will definitely bring him back to you. You should take Niuniu back to rest."

Saying that, he dragged Xiao Qiao home.

Although Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao didn't pierce the layer of paper, what will happen on the first day of "cohabitation"?
