food crisis [end times]

Zhou Wenshu himself also forgot how he killed Liu Laizi.It was only when he regained consciousness that he heard the neighbor's screams, and saw Liu Laizi lying in a pool of blood with a knife stabbed in his chest.

His already deranged nerves became even more frantic after seeing the dazzling bright red. He completely collapsed after realizing the fact that he had killed someone.

And when he intermittently told what happened that night, he didn't say anything else, only occasionally shouting the names of his wife and daughter loudly, nothing else.

Liu Laizi didn't have a good reputation in the village, and when he heard that he intended to force Zhou Tingting, just to get rid of his family, covet other people's property, and want to eat soft food, he was even more despised.

But no matter what, Liu Laizi was just talking and didn't take any action. Even if Zhou Wenshu had the plot to kill with passion, the killing was still a fact.

After Xiang Luo heard the whole story, he felt a bit embarrassed.

When Zhou Wenshu had a mental breakdown, the only time he did something for his daughter was this.

Although this cannot make up for the mistakes he made in the past, it is right for Zhou Tingting to send him the last part of the journey.

Zhou Xingfeng's mother was still desperately protecting her son.Zhou Wenshu had a nervous breakdown, but he also had a bit of fatherly affection.

It's a pity that Xiang Luo can't enjoy this anymore.

Three days later, Zhou Wenshu was sent to the county.Police officers were also sent down to further confirm the situation.After a week of trial, the verdict was finally reached.

death penalty.

In fact, if he killed someone simply to protect his daughter, he would be sentenced to a few years at most.Although the morals of this world are heavy codes for troubled times, the boundaries for legitimate self-defense are much looser.Homicides like this for a reason are generally more tolerant.

But Zhou Wenshu's point is that he himself is a probationer.And he had a previous criminal record of colluding with robbers with the intention of murdering others.

His nature itself was very bad, and he lost his life during the observation period.This is no longer a crime that can be explained clearly, but in a situation as bad as his, there is no reason for him to be given another chance.

Maybe he can give it a few more chances to learn well.But after he stays, everyone around him may become the next victim.

The state is responsible for ordinary people.

Therefore, no one was surprised by his execution, and there were even many people who applauded him.I just think that if one more person like this dies, the village will be safer.

After getting this news, both Xiang Yan and Zhou Tingting were depressed.Although it is really not a thing, but after all, it is the person who killed for Tingting,

Xiang Yan also made an agreement with Tingting that once the other end died, Tingting would go to collect the body, and when the time came back with the urn, it would be a father-daughter affair, and there would be no mourners before leaving.

Zhou Wenshu didn't have any other relatives, but there were some from far away, but they might not be willing to stand up for him.

At that time, Xiang Yan will set up a similar mourning hall in the yard, and at least give it away.Although it is impossible to send away both sons and daughters, but he does not teach him to live in this world.

The current court enforcement is strong.The death sentence was imposed on the other end, and the execution will be carried out in a week.These five days are to prevent other problems from overturning the case, but it will not make the prisoner live longer.

During the period, Xiang Luo drove Xiang Yan, mother and daughter, to the county to see Zhou Wenshu once.Zhou Wenshu's spirit is still not very good, but he also knows that his life is not long.And he just asked Zhou Tingting, is he a qualified father now?

On the day of the execution, the officials came down to pick up their mother and daughter.In fact, before the end of the world, lethal injection was basically used, but after the apocalypse, the cost of lethal injection doubled, and shooting was resumed.

However, the whole process of shooting the prisoners, funeral expenses such as parcel transportation and cremation are all allocated by the state.Xiang Yan took out some food and bought a better urn.There was no more Zhou Wenshu after the sound of a wooden barn.

With the passing of his life, the right and wrong of his life have become no longer important.

Xiang Yan's love and hatred for him were completely erased.Only accompanied Zhou Tingting all the way from the execution ground to the crematorium, and finally returned home with the urn.

Before the execution, Zhou Wenshu was sober as never before, but when he saw Zhou Tingting for the last time, he didn't say a word.

For several hours, the man who watched Zhou Tingting without saying a word became a cold urn in Zhou Tingting's arms. Zhou Tingting was as silent as a quail along the way.

Xiang Yan only asked Zhou Tingting: "Do you hate mom?"

Zhou Tingting's tears fell on the urn, she shook her head and said: "This is a decision made by me and my mother. We are both right. It is Dad who made the mistake. His regret is real, and the mistakes he can do are also real. I I am sad because he is my father, but I am not confused. It is impossible to blame my mother for kicking him out because I don’t have a father now. If he hadn’t left at the beginning and we continued to live, maybe the last bit of his image in my heart would be gone. there is none left."

When a person is dead, at least he can recall the good he brought to people when he was alive.

If they were alive, looking at each other and loathing each other would just be mutual torture.

Xiang Yan just cried, Zhou Tingting was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Mom, I miss my sister."

The mother and daughter couldn't help hugging each other and weeping bitterly.

All the tragedies in her family started with Zhou Nana's death.

A family of four, now only their mother and daughter are left to depend on each other.

Xiang Yan's family has built a mourning hall, which is decently placed.It is impossible to bury the ancestors in this snowy day, but Xiang Yan does not intend to let Zhou Wenshu's urn be kept at home.There are so many things at home and nowhere to put them.

Since he had a place to live before, Xiang Luo simply placed the urn in the West Room where he lived before setting up an incense table to enshrine.Zhou Tingting came over every now and then to take a look at it, just like before she was alive.

Xiang Luo from the mourning hall came to see it.It was deserted, and there was no one in the village to see her off.Xiang Yan didn't give a serious eight hundred. It's Zhang Luo. Everyone in the village understands what happened to his death.

Xiang Yan was heartbroken, but looking at the simple mourning hall, she also sighed with relief.

"It's okay to die, without this entanglement, for Tingting, she will have nothing to worry about in the future. My daughter is capable, and she can support herself in the future. This is not bad." Xiang Yan has aged a lot recently, and she is also haggard .

Xiang Luo said: "The days are going to pass after all. When he is gone, the past will pass."

Xiang Yan saw a bit of a smile on his face, stopped Xiang Luo and said, "In the final analysis, we are still a family. By the way, is there any result about Mr. Zhou's matter? Zhou Wenshu has been sentenced this time, that woman Haven't judged yet?"

"It's still on hold. The judgment may have to wait until Zhou Xingfeng is caught."

Xiang Yan frowned, only gritted his teeth and said: "This kind of people can still live happily until now, but God is really annoying! How come I didn't see that they are so wicked before!"

It was her elder brother and sister-in-law who died, so how could she view it objectively?

"Just wait, it won't take long." This matter can only wait.

What's more, Zhou Xingfeng didn't care about this mother. He didn't make advance arrangements, and it was impossible to make any breakthrough from his mother later.

The simple mourning hall here allowed Zhou Wenshu to accept incense for a few days.Burning incense and paper money can still be bought in the city. Although the price is a bit high, Xiang Yan's family can still afford it.

There was some atmosphere at home, and Zhou Tingting also dressed in mourning for a few days.

And on the last day of the coffin, Zhou Tingting carried Zhou Wenshu's urn to his former residence, put it on the incense table, placed tributes and kowtowed, took off her filial obedience, and exchanged a word with Xiang Yan. As he spoke, he walked back, but when he looked up, he saw a pickup truck parked in front of the house.

Neither of them had seen the world, so naturally they couldn't recognize what kind of car it was.It's just that there is a figure in military uniform at the car door, leaning against the car and holding his chest, looking at the open door of Xiang Yan's house, as if he is waiting for something, and also seems to be thinking about something.

From a distance, Xiang Yan couldn't see people clearly, but the army green was so kind to her eyes.

She was still hesitating, but Zhou Tingting had already said, "It seems to be my sister!"

Xiang Yan was stunned: "I can't! How could your sister wear a military uniform!"

But even if he said that, the longing for his daughter was not suppressed enough, the mother and daughter quickened their pace, and Xiang Yan even yelled.

The man turned his head, his wheat-colored skin was a little rough, but that face was really iconic, and coupled with the vicissitudes of life, it added a bit of heroism.

Seeing the two people running over, the man felt relieved and called out, "Mom!"

Who is it if it's not Zhou Nana?

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried again.Xiang Yan only felt that half of the tears in her life were shed recently.

But this time, it was the only time I cried with joy.

It's just that inside this ecstasy, there is still a deep heartache.

Zhou Nana was only nineteen when she left the village. She was about the age of a flower, and her face was not to mention tender, and she was also a fair and clean girl.But it's only been a year, and I almost didn't recognize it.

Xiang Luo just finished feeding the ducks, and tomorrow he will sell a batch of ducklings to the village.Recently, there are more and more ducklings in one batch, and more and more people are raising ducks in the village.The first family to start raising ducks, the ducks are already very big, and it is estimated that they will be able to lay eggs around the Chinese New Year.This made other people in the village even more envious.

At present, there are no ducks who want to buy them, and those who have ducks and taste the sweetness want to buy more.

It's time to get busy.

At this time, Xiang Luo only felt strange when he heard the siren go off.

"Who could it be?" Xiang Luo patted the dust of the duck feed on his hands, turned off the alarm and went out to open the door.As a result, when I opened the door, I saw a touch of army green.

In the next second, the girl in military uniform stood at attention and gave Xiang Luo a standard salute, with an incomparably bright smile.

This smile coincided with the one he gave Xiang Luo before he disappeared.It's just that the smile at the beginning still contained a bit of helplessness and innocence, but now it has a heroic spirit that shines from the bones.

People seem to be much more mature and resolute than before.

Obviously, Zhou Nana must have had a wonderful life this year.

Xiang Yan hurriedly laughed and said, "Is it because I can't recognize it? I couldn't recognize it when I saw it! How can this be my eldest girl, her face is so dark."

Xiang Luo didn't expect her to come back, let alone in a military uniform.

I looked up and down admiringly.

"grown up."

"Brother!" Zhou Nana's eyes turned red, "I'm going home!"

After wandering for a year, Zhou Nana finally straightened her back and came back here.

I don't know if it was God's intentional arrangement or what, Zhou Tingting went home just in time for Zhou Wenshu's funeral to end.They are a pair of father and daughter who are like enemies, and they have missed each other from birth to death.

"Go home, come in! Also tell me where you have been this year." Xiang Luo welcomed him in, and took out the packaged melon seeds and snacks stored at home.He also called Zhu Yan to help kill the duck, and left Xiang Yan's family to have a reunion dinner at home today.

"Why did you become a soldier?" After the whole family was seated, Xiang Luo asked the doubts in his heart, "When did it happen?"

"It's a long story to say." Zhou Nana took a sip of tea, looked at the tea leaves slowly spreading in the cup, and her thoughts went back to the beginning, "I was abducted by the robbers, and they wanted to send me to Other villages give people a daughter-in-law. I struggled and was afraid, and I thought about it after I was delivered. Then I met a police car on the way. The robber was timid, and he knew that something bad was going to happen, so he dragged me up the mountain Yes. Later on the mountain, we were all anxious and tired, so I ran away while he was not paying attention. But I also got lost on the mountain. Later, I stayed on the mountain for a month before coming down."

"Only on the mountain for a month?" Xiang Luo couldn't believe it, "Then what do you eat? Besides, why don't you go home?"

The corners of Zhou Nana's lips became a bit bitter: "I didn't eat much. When I was dealing with the robbers, I got some food, and after the snow melted, many rabbits and mice froze to death on the mountain. I As long as it doesn't smell bad, there should be no virus. I made it into jerky. And when I eat it, I boil it for a long time and then put it on the fire to dry it, so that month is not special. It's tough. As for why you didn't go home..."

Zhou Nana didn't speak, but Xiang Luo had already thought of it: "You heard from the robber that Zhou Wenshu colluded with them, right?"

Zhou Nana nodded, and said with a wry smile: "They said that my dad sold me to them. The purpose is to let them kill you. I hid on the mountain, and the news was blocked. You also know how crazy my dad was during that time Arrived. In fact, I came back, but I just stood outside the village and watched from a distance. I never had the courage to enter the village. Every time I think about coming back, I think of the scene when my father forced me to marry. I suspect that the gang What the bandit said, but I know my dad. If I go back now, as long as my dad doesn't suffer retribution, I won't change my mind. I can't change anything when I come back. I'm still in my dad's hands. "

"So you're going to join the army?"

Zhou Nana nodded first, then shook her head: "I didn't think of this at first. Being a soldier is like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. I originally wanted to go to a big city to settle first, and then find a job that can support me. The object gets married first, and then goes home with the child in his arms. At that time, no matter how inappropriate my father is, he can't make any calculations. But what is not reconciled is that even if I use this method to escape, Tingting is still there. In the village. In addition, the mutated animals happened to be rampant, causing too much damage, and the higher-ups began to recruit soldiers on a large scale, and I became a soldier as soon as my brain got hot."

Xiang Luo looked at the military uniform on her body, especially the epaulettes on her shoulders.

"One bar and two stars, you have done well in the army this year." Xiang Luo said.

Although he said that coal had been a soldier, who didn't have a dream of being a soldier when he was young?Zhou Nana doesn't look like a clerical job either, it's definitely not an easy thing to get one and two stars in just one year.

Speaking of this, Zhou Nana was still a little embarrassed: "I entered the cooking class at the beginning. But I was a little unwilling to do it. In addition, there are many opportunities in this world. When I see an opportunity, I seize it. Now there is a reason for this .But not everything about the army is allowed to be disclosed...some things should be kept secret."

Xiang Luo was startled, savoring what she said, raised his eyebrows: "Special operations?"

Zhou Nana didn't admit it or deny it, but said: "I don't know where I will be assigned in the future. In fact, I have only passed the junior selection. During this period, I was given three days off. I know where I'm going. I rented a car from the army and came back. Actually, according to the regulations, even military uniforms can't be worn back. It's just that I think it's a deterrent to come back in such a glamorous way, but I didn't expect..."

Zhou Nana joined the army to deal with Zhou Wenshu, and to join the special forces was also to have more chips and enough confidence to face Zhou Wenshu again.

Zhou Wenshu's biological father was Zhou Nana's lingering nightmare.She once spent a month alone on the mountain like a savage. For her, there is nothing she can't bear, and what she wants most is to become strong enough to return home to her mother. Backing up with my sister, there is no need to be afraid of Zhou Wenshu's unreasonable troubles and dominance.

It's just that she didn't expect that Zhou Wenshu's funeral would be missed perfectly, and so many things had happened in the nearly one year since she left.

"Actually, this family was originally falling apart, but your disappearance at that time became a mess." Xiang Luo said truthfully, "Zhou Wenshu has always been dishonest, maybe he repented before he died, but he is not a competent father. You It’s God’s will that I didn’t come back until now, and it’s God’s will that I didn’t see him for the last time.”

Zhou Nana's eye circles were still red. Thinking of the heavy past, and the persistence of gritted teeth in the past six months, she just smiled wryly: "This is fate."

It is impossible for her to forgive that father, but she will not completely deny that father.

Perhaps, parting from life to death is the best ending for their father and daughter. Just like Zhou Tingting, when a person is dead, at least the living can think of him more.

At this point, Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Since everyone has left, you don't have to worry about anything. I'm just you two girls, and I will definitely listen to you in the future. Just come back and don't leave! Good girl What kind of soldier should I be? They come and go in the wind and rain, and it might be dangerous. Our family has everything and money now. Your brother opened a factory. Why don’t you go into the factory and help your brother work? .You sisters are together, I have nothing else to worry about."

Xiang Yan thought well, Zhou Nana joined the army because of Zhou Wenshu, since Zhou Wenshu is dead, Zhou Nana has no worries, so why bother to leave?Isn't it good to have a family reunion?
