food crisis [end times]

In September, the north wind howled.

Under the sweeping blizzard, there was a layer of white mist between the sky and the earth.

In the morning, the People's Liberation Army took the lead and asked the men in the village to drive tractors and go to the nearby mountains to collect firewood.Where people live here, there are almost no wild trees around, and most of them are artificially planted.Among them, pine trees are the main ones.

Officials predict that the world will enter a short period of ice in the future.Places like the Northeast will enter extremely cold storms, and the situation is not optimistic.

So when the temperature reached minus [-] degrees, the officials who couldn't sit still began to organize people to go up the mountain to stock up on firewood.

The mold had swept over all the plants before, and all the trees on the mountain were withered and dead.

Although the tree is dead, the high-fat wood in it is a good material for burning fire and heating.

Of course, there is no reason to cut down the forest into a desert.First pick up the branches and leaves that fell on the ground, and then cut down the dead trees in the surrounding parts.

Truckloads of firewood were transported out of the woods into the village. Each household had a truckload of firewood. In addition, every household in the countryside has the habit of hoarding firewood piles. It should be no problem to stick to it this winter.

Xiang Luo was wearing a shabby padded jacket, and piled up the pieces of firewood that had been poured out of the car.

Xiang Luo's family lives on the edge of the village, which is a big place, so the circled yard is also big.The firewood delivery man was in a hurry to go back, so he just fell outside the wall and needed to be transported back to the yard through the back door.

Xiang Luo's entire backyard is very clean, because of the mold before, Xiang Luo found time to clean up after the crops withered.

Adhering to the part of the house, Xiang Luo also dug a large swimming pool and pasted tiles.Xiang Luo originally thought about raising fish, but unfortunately he didn't, so he kept a pond full of water.It's just that it's cold enough to use as a skating rink now.

Zhu Yan sat on the pile of firewood, this was the task Xiang Luo entrusted to him, to hold down the firewood so that it would not scatter.

"How long will this car last?" Zhu Yan asked.

In fact, Xiang Luo has already hoarded two large piles of firewood, which is enough to burn for five or six years.Like a child who grew up in Zhuyan City, he has no idea about the consumption of firewood.

"It depends on how to burn it. If you cook three meals a day, and usually only use a stove, it will be enough to burn for a whole winter." Xiang Luo said.

"Isn't that cold?" Zhu Yan frowned.

"Of course it's cold, but if you're lying on the kang and covered with a quilt, it's basically enough. If it's not good enough, you can wear a padded jacket. I saw people who were reluctant to burn, and they wore down jackets in the house in winter. Wearing it all winter, when is it warm? When to take it off. There are also people who are willing to light a fire, and they want to take off their shirts when they enter the house. The temperature difference between entering and coming out of his house makes them easy to catch a cold. If it is burned like that, it will take at least three cars to use. "

I can only talk about one situation per family.

"At least we don't have to worry about burning the fire." Zhu Yan thought for a while and said, "Our house can't be too cold, but it must not be too hot, otherwise there are so many things, and the heat is not good for storage."

Xiang Luo said: "The west room can be cooler, because there is a heated kang, just cover it with a quilt to keep warm. An Wei comes to our room during the day. But our room must be heated, because there is no kang, and the bed has no heat source, and it is easy to get sick when the room is cold. gone."

Under the severe cold, the kang in the northeast is definitely a magic weapon.As long as the kang is warm, even if the temperature in the room is below zero, lying on the kang and covered with a quilt can still cause you to sweat.

Of course, this also makes it the most difficult problem in the world for people to get out of bed in winter.Coming out of the bed is equivalent to stepping from warm spring to cold winter with bare buttocks.

The two were chatting, and Anwei came over with a pair of dead fish eyes and glanced at the two of them contemptuously: "You guys are going too far, chatting without working!"

Anwei threw a bundle of firewood onto the stack: "I agreed to bundle the ones you brought over, brother?"

Everyone complained here, Xiang Luo patted the back of Anwei's head with a smile, waved to Zhu Yan, and the two piled up the firewood together.Then cover it with plastic sheeting, put bricks on it to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and cover it with several bundles of cornstalks.Clean up the scattered firewood outside the wall and around the firewood pile.

When I got home, I was alone with a cup of hot water. The house was burning warmly, which was completely different from the wind, snow and severe cold outside.

Anwei tried to log in to the forum with the computer in his hand, but failed a few times, and said anxiously: "I logged in the afternoon before yesterday, and there are still a hundred people online, so it won't work now."

"It's due to the weather. It's snowing outside, and there's still volcanic ash blocking the sky." Xiang Luo said.

These are easy to hinder the propagation of satellite signals.

"It should be. But this is the only way for us to know the situation outside. At least we have a reference when we look abroad." An Wei sighed regretfully, took a sip of ginger tea, and shivered comfortably.

Zhu Yan wrapped himself in a blanket, put Nao Nao in the blanket, rubbed the dog's head and said: "Not to mention the comparison with foreign countries, there have been no foreign zombies in our village in the past two days. After the corpses in the village are resolved, we will also No one is infected anymore."

The official said before, just as they guessed before, the people who turned into zombies may have eaten moldy food.Therefore, after the official propaganda is in place, the common people will no longer touch the moldy food, and the epidemic of this person turning into a zombie is really over.

"It's so cold outside, the zombies will probably freeze through in half an hour. No matter how bad it is, they will delay their movements. In fact, now is a good opportunity to eradicate the zombies." Xiang Luo said.

At present, the proportion of people turning into zombies is not large, and it is not difficult to deal with it.

The main reason is that some people have turned into corpses, and the people around them are basically undefended. Even if they are discovered in time, they will be injured by zombies because of their reluctance to do it, fear of not facing them, and other reasons, and then they will be infected with zombie viruses.

In fact, the current cooling down has done everyone a big favor.Prevent the zombies from spreading and wandering around.

"Will there be no need to worry about zombies in the coming year?" An Wei asked.

Zhu Yan shook his head: "Don't forget that there are mutant animals. People can give repeated orders not to eat moldy food, but animals can't control it. And people lack food, so do they. They will frantically stuff food that can be eaten into their mouths, As for what will happen after eating, they don't care, and they don't have the brains to think about it."

Xiang Luo fell silent, because he suddenly thought of something.

It is impossible to cure the zombies. Before the vaccine and serum appear, the zombies may break out again at any time.

The most frightening thing is that the proportion of zombie outbreaks in the current population is not high.

But what he saw in his right eye before, among the people he saw, at least half of them turned into zombies!

these people!How did it change!

Are there other sources of infection besides infection from injuries and eating moldy food?

The blizzard outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the three of Xiang Luo were in the warm room, drinking ginger soup and eating apples. If they didn't take into account all the things that happened outside, they lived a comfortable life.

Zhu Yan was never worried about the situation at home. Once there were no good people in the family, and his grandfather was a little distant. Although there was no hatred, he was not close, and he wished the family a great career, and no matter what time it was, it would not be too dangerous.As for the third uncle and the third aunt, they are all enemies, let alone worry about anything.

However, Anwei never mentioned family affairs, let alone go home to have a look, which made Xiang Luo a little curious.

Although they didn't know each other well, Anwei was Zhu Yan's friend after all. If he wanted to go home, Xiang Luo would definitely help.But curiosity is nothing but curiosity, and Xiang Luo is not open-mouthed, so naturally he won't ask more questions.

After every household had the firewood brought in from the mountain, and a few soldiers were stationed in the village to help stand guard. After the villagers did not need to organize shifts, the villagers lived a comfortable life for two days.

And at this time, the familiar military card drove into the village again, but this time it was neither for food exchange nor for emergency supplies, but to take a few soldiers from the village to leave, and distributed recruitment leaflets in the village, as well as to recall Reserves, retired soldiers.

In fact, in the early days of the food crisis, and the recent outbreak of zombies, such a situation did not occur. Now that it happened rashly, Xiang Luo was stunned when he heard the news.

His right eye has never seen anything like this. Of course, he has hardly seen soldiers.

Zhu Yan took the leaflet and read it from top to bottom, frowning and saying nothing.

The soldier looked at the three healthy young men in this family, and couldn't help saying: "The salary in the army is good, and they wear military uniforms to defend the country. Have you ever thought about being a soldier?"

Xiang Luo smiled wryly, he knew he was not that material: "I'll forget it, it's fine if I don't cause trouble to the country. But if something unexpected happens, I can donate money and materials."

The soldier was a little disappointed, and looked at the other two.

Zhu Yan looked at the leaflet and frowned and said, "There are constant border frictions...it's not like a fight is going to happen."

The soldier's eyes darkened, and he said: "I don't know about this either. Since the food crisis, places with insufficient food reserves in the world have caused troubles due to food shortages. Those who have no food and don't want to starve to death can only grab it. Between countries There is also constant friction. Just got the news that there is already a country on the camel side that has officially gone to war. Our country is fine, but there are many refugees at the border. I don’t know how much their official involvement is. No matter what, let’s make preparations first, so that No matter what happens, don't panic."

A soldier can say such a thing, and he has no intention of hiding things from the common people.At the same time, this is also the conscription.

Xiang Luo became more serious: "I can't leave home, and I'm the only one at home. But the conditions on the border must be much more difficult than here. Wait a minute."

Xiang Luo turned around and was busy, and then came out with a big bag of things in his hand.

The soldier turned his head and wanted to leave, but was pulled back by Zhu Yan, and said helplessly: "We have strict regulations, and at present, repeated orders and repeated requests are absolutely not accepted! If it is a bowl of water, it is fine, and if we take something, we will make a mistake. "

The soldiers were truly moved, but things must not be taken away.

"Then take it as my exchange with you. Let's exchange the grain head office." Xiang Luo didn't make it difficult for him, and asked him to open the bag and take out a vacuum package from it.The transparent packaging can clearly see the dried ginger inside.

"This is dried ginger. It's not worth much. It's so cold for you to come and go back and forth in this cold weather, unlike us nestling at home. Anyway, we don't need to keep it, and it's a waste of space." Xiang Luo Put things back in the bag.

At present, it is not only cold, but also edible materials are very scarce.And ginger, which has certain medicinal effects, is even more precious.

"It's not easy to price." The soldier still didn't want to accept it.

"I'll set the price, just a box of compressed biscuits. If you want more, you can discuss it." Xiang Luo is easy to speak.

"..." The soldier was silent for a while, "We do have some compressed biscuits, just wait a moment, I'll ask our platoon leader later."

The soldier carried his things and went back to find the platoon leader. Seeing that the little soldier was not very old, it was obvious that he had never experienced this.

Anwei poked his head to see people go out, and asked curiously, "Why do you have so many? They are all vacuum-packed."

Xiang Luo lied casually: "My relatives planted too many and were unsalable, so they gave me a lot. I was afraid that I would not eat them, so I dried them and packed them. I didn't expect to be able to use them."

Zhu Yan glanced at him, looked back for three packs of instant noodles, and handed them to the talkative An Wei: "Go, cook the noodles."

Xiang Luo touched a box of luncheon meat and came out: "Slice this and add three eggs."

Anwei held instant noodles and luncheon meat in his arms but didn't realize it for a while, and looked at the two of them for a while: "You two cooperate very well. I've become a cook!"

"Stop doing some work, you're talking again." Zhu Yan waved his hand in disgust, looked out, and saw the officer and the little soldier coming back.

In the end, the platoon leader insisted on replacing the big bag of vacuum-packed ginger with two barrels of compressed biscuits, and asked Xiang Luo why he had these.

Xiang Luo knew that there would be such a question, so he repeated what he had just said to An Wei.Anwei Erque is not stupid to be a company commander.But did not ask deeply.

It happened that Anwei was cooking noodles in a pot, and the aroma of instant noodles spread throughout the room. When he saw Anwei throwing a whole box of cut luncheon meat into the pot, he knew that their house had a lot of things, and they didn't lack anything.

"If there are any extra things that we think we need, we can exchange them at any time. Our superiors strictly stipulate that we can't ask for anything from ordinary people, but there is no limit to the exchange. And I don't think your home is short of anything. The outer wall It’s also sturdy. It’s quite safe. But at this time, people’s minds change, and they don’t know what kind of danger there will be. We’ll let it go, you’d better not show the situation of your home to outsiders, so as to avoid accidents.”

What the platoon leader said was clear.

"Don't worry, people in the village think that my family has no rice to cook, so you can help me maintain my personality." Xiang Luo smiled.

The platoon leader also laughed, knowing that Xiang Luo is a smart man.

After saying hello and turning to leave, Xiang Luo stopped him again: "Well... no matter what happens at the border, please pay attention to safety. Each of you is very important."

These were the words that Xiang Luo had been pondering for a while.

The platoon leader smiled knowingly, turned his head and said seriously: "No matter what happens at the border, we will definitely keep them out of the country."

This sentence, until they left, still shocked Xiang Luo.

This is probably the soldiers of the people.

It's a pity that he is too cowardly and has too many worries, so he is reluctant to leave.

The noodles are cooked.Each of the three of them took a bowl from the pot, as long as there was no waste, it was fine if they were full.

That night, Xiang Luo packed up the livestock in the basement and just climbed up when he saw Zhu Yan open the window and look out.

Only one floor of windows was open, and a little sound could be heard faintly from outside.It is precisely because sometimes the inner layer of windows is opened to listen to the sound, and water vapor enters under the temperature difference, and a layer of water vapor is formed on the inside of the two layers of windows, which will turn into frost or water droplets with the temperature difference.So you can't see the outside.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Luo made the bed and spread the quilt.

Recently, the two of them have been sharing the same bed. Although they haven't communicated much, it's bubbling beautiful to Xiang Luo.

"There is movement on the right side of your house. It seems to be shouting. Listening to the sound, other people around you also heard it. It was heard in the past, but now it is arguing."

Xiang Luo walked over to look at it, and the two of them stuck their heads towards the window, so they couldn't help getting close.As a result, when they turned their heads, the distance between the two was only a little bit short.Unconsciously all froze.

Just staring wide-eyed, after a long while, Xiang Luo heard the old lady's sharp cry from outside the window, she seemed to be angry, and vaguely sounded like she was chasing someone away.

The family name Liu lived on the left side of Xiang Luo's house.In the village, Liu is the common surname, and there are dozens of families surnamed Liu. They may not be related to each other by blood, but they are related by neighbors.Most of the relationships are good, but this Liu family is relatively special.

His family was originally a family of six. The couple, two daughters and one son raised an old lady.But even the old and the young, to put it bluntly, there is no good person.When he was in the production team, his family often fought with other families because of three melons and two dates, and if he didn't take advantage of it, he would suffer.As time goes by, the village doesn't like them, and they even boast that others dare not mess with them, and after a long time, they will become even more stinky streets.

Earlier, their daughter-in-law and eldest daughter were bitten by the family's dog, infected with the zombie virus and taken away by the People's Liberation Army. They were desperately fighting with farm tools, but they were intimidated by the wooden warehouse. Now they don't know what to do.

There is a saying that good people don't step on stinky shit, they are not easy to get along with, and there is no need to make a fuss.I still don't know who I'm arguing with.

Seeing Zhu Yan turn back to the bed, Xiang Luo closed the window.

"Left and right are not good people." Xiang Luo spread out the quilt, then took out the filled hot water bottle and put it under the quilt.After all, there is no kang, and it will be a bit cold in the middle of the night. It will be much better to put a hot water bottle.

Nao Nao rubbed around Xiang Luo's feet, I don't know why, since he came to Xiang Luo's house, it may be that Xiang Luo did all the eating, drinking, and messing around himself, so Nao Nao couldn't tell who his father was. There are more Xiang Luos than Zhu Yans.

Xiang Luo lowered his head and patted the dog's head, picked him up and stuffed him into the bed.While taking off his clothes, he said to Zhu Yan:

"By the way, you and Anwei are staying in the name of my friends, but now there is no army in the village, and even Xiao Yiming and the others have been recalled. The village has to arrange shifts again."

Of course Zhu Yan understood what he meant: "An Wei and I also have shifts?"

Xiang Luo nodded: "there are few young people in the village, and even fewer are able to guard and patrol. But at this time, it is the time to guard against outsiders and thieves. The meaning of the village is that one counts as one. The men all line up. Class, women can sign up if they think they can do it themselves."

"Sign up? Get paid?" There's nothing a man can do about this kind of thing. After all, he has to protect the whole family. He patrols himself and others stand guard, which can ensure the safety of the villagers. It's just that no one is willing to go if it's not necessary, and if it's not necessary It is impossible to take the initiative to go.

"There is no salary, but the village manages two meals. Three shifts, three meals a day plus one in the middle of the night, a total of four meals. As long as you go, you can eat two meals." Xiang Luo said with a wry smile, "If it weren't for this, there might not be many people willing to go."

No one wants to face zombies.But now most of the villagers are running out of food in their homes.

It can provide two meals, so it is generally not necessary to eat at home.This is to reduce consumption at home.Just for this point alone, many people will be willing.

"Belongs to the big pot?" Zhu Yan took off his clothes and changed into Xiang Luo's pajamas.

Xiang Luo's eyes seemed to be glued to his body, seeing that the clothes covered his glistening flesh, he couldn't help feeling regretful in his heart, but when Zhu Yan looked over, he turned his eyes away cowardly.

After all, they share the same bed.There was a conflict between the two of them, but Zhu Yan never mentioned the matter of sleeping separately.There is a folding bed at home, no matter how bad it is, it is no problem to build a bed.

Xiang Luo murmured a lot in his heart, wondering if it was Zhu Yan's hint or connivance to him.But how could it be so easy to untie the gap between these five years?

Youxin started talking in one breath, but couldn't find a way to talk.Just lying by my side like this, in fact, it was the little filth in my heart that was tormenting me.

If it's a pure secret love, then you don't have to be afraid of anything, lying on the bed with a blushing heartbeat is the most fantasy point.But the problem is that Xiang Luo has eaten and tasted it!

He has slept with Zhu Yan, and he knows the smell!

This is tantamount to letting a vampire who has sucked blood guard a white and fat person, lying down with his head full of white meat.

The two of them lay in the bed, covered with a duvet.Every day, in order to prevent Zhu Yan from being robbed, Xiang Luo got used to sleeping under his body first.I felt a little heat coming from the side, I don't know if it was from the hot water bottle or from Zhu Yan's body.

Just lie down.

After a while, Zhu Yan said quietly:

"Aren't you going to turn off the lights?"

Xiang Luo was startled, and reached out to turn off the light.

The night was shrouded in darkness, the bed was noisy, and Xiang Luo's fingers were licked, which made his heart itch.

Heiye gave him some courage, and said, "You... don't you feel disgusted sleeping with me?"

"What? Are you disgusted?" Zhu Yan asked.

Even through the night, Xiang Luo could feel the mockery on Zhu Yan's face at this moment.

"No, I'm afraid you're not used to it." Xiang Luo said awkwardly.

"It's okay, it's the same when you fall asleep." Zhu Yan yawned and threw down a heavy thunder, "I've gotten used to it over the years, and no one in the bed can't fall asleep."

Xiang Luo was startled, and fell asleep for a moment.

"What did you say?" Xiang Luo's voice was a little higher.

But Zhu Yan didn't open his mouth, he fumbled in the bed with his hands, grabbed Nao Nao and hugged him into his arms, and muttered sleepily, "Sleep, sleep."

Xiang Luo really wanted to pick him up and ask him carefully, but he was afraid that the two of them would not forgive the other, and if they got excited, they would quarrel and fight again.

Originally, when the two were getting along, Xiang Luo couldn't do anything else.

But this sentence made Xiang Luo's head covered with a green grassland, and it was impossible for a man to pass like this.

But I don't know what position to question.

The more you think, the more angry you are!

At this time, whenever there is a bottle of wine, Xiang Luo will deal with him!Hypocritical what?Let's go to sleep first.

But these words are also in the bottom of my heart.

Zhu Yan fell asleep quickly, snoring arrogantly in a low voice, Xiang Luo became more and more irritable as he listened, and it was another sleepless night.

The next day, Xiang Luo went to the village committee and arranged shifts for both Zhu Yan and An Wei.There are three shifts for the night watch. If the head of the family comes out, the shift must be separated to prevent no one at home.

However, relatives will try their best to arrange to get together again.Because they are relatives, they take care of each other.I'm afraid that bringing together people who don't deal with them will only increase trouble if they fight.

Therefore, Xiang Luo was unfortunately together with Xiang Jianguo and his second uncle Zhou Wenshu.

The former just had a conflict not long ago, and they have not spoken to each other these days.The latter, Xiang Luo, agreed with him not to deal with them very much, nor to communicate with him.

Logically speaking, the three should be the closest relatives, but how embarrassing it would be to stand next to each other.

Xiang Luo is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, Zhu Yan is from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, An Wei is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am.Eight-hour shifts, there will always be fewer people at home,

Xiang Luo didn't have to go on the first day because he had just been scheduled for a shift, but Zhu Yan needed to go in the afternoon.

When it was time to go, Zhu Yan called Xiang Luo to the door and whispered a few words into his ear.

Feeling the heat from his mouth turning red in his ears, Xiang Luo nodded and turned back to the room.

Anwei was going to watch the night in the middle of the night, and was about to go back to sleep, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did he say?"

Xiang Luo glanced at him: "Want to know?"

Anwei felt a chill down his spine, and shook his head eagerly: "No, I don't want to."

Xiang Luo turned his head back to the house, Anwei looked at the closed door, curled his mouth, looked at the snowstorm blowing outside, did not know what to think of, his eyes dimmed.

Xiang Luo took out a frozen roast duck to thaw, and then took out a self-heating grilled fish, opened the package and put away the heating bag inside, and put the grilled fish wrapped in tin foil in the bowl rack first.

After two or three hours, the roast duck was completely thawed, and the roast duck was torn apart by hand, and the duck skeleton was removed and thrown into a casserole. Then, wolfberries, shiitake mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, lotus root slices and seasonings were added and put on the stove to simmer slowly. .

The lotus root slices are clear water lotus root slices with a shelf life of six months.Xiang Luo only prepared a few packets, usually for hot pot.This soup is also good.

When it got dark, Xiang Luo cut the soaked tribute vegetables into sections and fried them with bacon, took out half a chicken and stewed them with potatoes.During the period, the curtain was put on to heat the grilled fish.

There are two pots at home, one pot is stewing potatoes, and Xiang Luo uses the other pot to make minced eggplant made of meat and dried eggplant.Add together five dishes and one soup for a total of six.

This side is busy, but the sound insulation of the left and right bedrooms is very good, and Anwei didn't hear anything.After sleeping all afternoon, he was a little hungry, and it was almost time to cook.As soon as I came out of the bedroom, I could smell the aroma of vegetables in the kitchen.

It's so delicious.

Anwei sniffed hard and saw Xiang Luo was serving the dishes.

"These dishes." An Wei's saliva was about to stay.

"Six, come over and help."

The two of them entered the room with vegetables and filled the rice, Xiang Luo took two bottles of beer and came out with a bottle of Erguotou.

This was the first time Anwei saw so many dishes on this table.

Watching Xiang Luo open the beer bottle and drink two glasses, Anwei was a little dazed.

"Is today a good day?" An Wei asked.

"Isn't it a good day?" Xiang Luo asked back.

An Wei swallowed again, and his eyes could not help but drift to the table: "But this is a luxury. If you can't eat it, it will get moldy."

"It's okay. The leftovers are vacuum-packed and refrigerated. Next time, they'll be eaten hot. I've already set aside Zhu Yan's part, and he won't come back until midnight." Xiang Luo put the wine glass in front of Anwei, and Anwei Looking at the bubbling beer, I was speechless for a while.

Only then did I hear Xiang Luo say:

"Happy birthday."

An Wei was startled, and looked up at Xiang Luo, his eyes had already told Xiang Luo what he wanted to say.

Xiang Luo said: "Didn't you ask Zhu Yan what he said to me before he left? He told me it's your birthday today."

As soon as these words came out, Anwei's eyes turned red.

Looking down at the wine glass.

The emotional outburst of adults is actually such a momentary thing.Under such circumstances, there are still people who remember to celebrate his birthday. If it was Xiang Luo, he would probably be too moved to speak.

Anwei rubbed his eyes, and said with a choked voice: "It's still Zhu Yan. Don't look at him who is usually deserted. I can count the birthdays I have celebrated on one hand, but most of them are for me, including this one. Second-rate."

Hearing these words, Xiang Luo felt sour in his heart, but Xiang Luo didn't dare to say it.

Anwei raised his wine glass: "Thank you Brother Xiang, Zhu Yan said it's the same thing, it's your heart that you can make these dishes for me as a matter of course. We have known each other for a long time, and I know you are a loyal person. I respect you gone."

The two clinked glasses and drank the beer in one gulp.

Xiang Luo didn't drink often, and he didn't have much capacity for alcohol. He drank this cup in a hurry and couldn't hold it down. He took a mouthful of duck meat and pressed it down.

After drinking, the two began to talk.

Anwei tasted every dish, and the smile on his face couldn't stop.

After a while, he glanced at Xiang Luo and asked, "Actually, it's today, so don't blame me for being presumptuous. What is your relationship with Zhu Yan?"

Xiang Luo refilled the two, glanced at the wine glass, then at Anwei, drank a glass of wine before saying: "I like him."

Anwei choked on the soup: "What?"

"I like him." Xiang Luo spoke again, smoother than what he said just now.

It was as if a huge boulder had fallen from the bottom of my heart.It turns out that admitting this can be so easy.

An Wei lowered his head and continued to drink the soup, but his eyes were dripping and his thoughts were racing.

"Then...he knows?" A gay man is sharing the bed with the man he likes, and he is a little worried about Zhu Yan's ass.

Xiang Luo nodded: "I know."

Although Xiang Luo didn't tell him directly, he never concealed it.

"Then...how far have you developed?" Anwei asked tentatively.

Xiang Luo rubbed his nose: "Surface brothers."

Xiang Luo didn't say anything about their past.That is the privacy that only belongs to two people, not the capital to show off.

"What about after that?" Anwei asked.

Xiang Luo didn't hide it: "I don't know."

It's hard for An Wei to stop him, let alone help out with ideas to trick his brother.After thinking about it, he said, "I don't mean anything else. I can also help you hide it. But you have to think about it, when is the first stop? Are you going to maintain the present for the rest of your life?"

I have to say that Xiang Luo really needs the help of a third person to think about it from the perspective of a bystander.

Xiang Luo drank another glass and opened the second bottle of beer.

But medicine can't cure fake illnesses, but wine can't cure real worries.

Anwei watched him drink away his worries, and lowered his head to eat.He is not familiar with Xiang Luo after all, and this is the limit.Anwei is not a person who doesn't know how to measure.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

An Wei said: "I don't quite understand what you think. If Zhu Yan has no objection, then I won't say anything. It's just... If he doesn't want to, I still hope you don't force it. After all, feelings are such a thing It's not forced."

This is the truth, but listening to the second half of the sentence, Xiang Luo feels somewhat uncomfortable.Just glanced at him:

"You know a lot."

Anwei picked up his wine glass and looked at Xiang Luo: "The bystanders are clear."

Xiang Luo sneered: "Have you ever had a date!"

This sentence hit An Wei's sore spot. He was stunned for a while, and he wanted to cry but said, "I almost had it, okay? Isn't this being robbed?"

Xiang Luo couldn't help laughing: "It's because you have no ability to be snatched away."

"Blame me? You said that the senior in high school is a senior, and there is no shortage of girls to chase after him. Why are you robbing me? I'm the only one who finally feels it." Anwei held his wine glass and wanted to cry, "The problem is that he wants I also admit that I took it away. Before the class reunion, the girl got married and had children. Her man's picture is ugly. It's not as good as me."

Anwei drank the wine after saying this, in honor of his first love that ended before it could begin.

The biggest dissatisfaction in this world is that the person you like is married, and the marriage partner is not as good as yourself.

But no matter what, it can only be sour.

But hearing what he said, it still caught Xiang Luo's attention.

After missing out that year, that girl has become someone else's wife.

He missed Zhu Yan for five years, and he knew nothing about it.

What's more, if you don't hold him firmly in your hands now, if you miss it, there may only be a sigh of daring in the distant future.

Maybe, it's time to do something.

Both bottles of beer were down.Xiang Luo picked up Erguotou and opened it.Anwei swallowed the meat in his mouth in fright: "I can't drink white!"

Xiang Luo didn't pour it for him, but poured a cup for himself.

Spicy wine enters the throat, hot to the bottom of my heart.Soothe the entanglement in my heart.

The two ate and drank, and the time turned to more than nine o'clock, and it was almost ten o'clock.An Wei was about to go out on patrol, and Xiang Luo drank a half bottle of beer and half a bottle of liquor.Although sitting there with a wooden face didn't look like being drunk, Anwei didn't dare to ask him to do anything.

He got up and cleaned up the meals, found out the vacuum machine, packed all the dishes and soup in bags and stuffed them into the refrigerator, and when the time was almost up, he took out the portion prepared for Zhu Yan, and put the dishes that needed to be heated in Add fire to the pot, wait for Zhu Yan to come back, take it out and open the package to eat.

Xiang Luo really doesn't know how to drink, but he was stimulated by Zhu Yan's words last night, and today the atmosphere is here again, so he drank a little more. Cleaning up inside and out, he didn't make any mess, just lay down on the bed and went to sleep first.

Seeing that Xiang Luo was drunk and obediently going to sleep, An Wei couldn't help but nodded.This wine is still good, at least not drunk.

When Zhu Yan rubbed his hands and came back in a hurry, An Wei told him that the food was in the pot.

Zhu Yan entered the room and saw Xiang Luo laying on the bed with his eyes closed as if he was fast asleep. When he approached, he could smell the smell of alcohol.

Did not speak.I went to the outhouse to cook a little fire by the stove, ate by the pot, and then I washed up and went back to the house to start undressing.

After taking off his clothes and changing into pajamas, he turned around and saw Xiang Luo looking straight at him.

Perhaps under the influence of alcohol, his eyes became a little straight.

Zhu Yan yawned, turned off the light and got into bed, turned over to find a comfortable position before listening to Xiang Luo asking, "Are you still used to it?"

"It's okay. I was standing guard at the entrance of the village. I met two or three people who were about to enter the village. I took a look at the food they gave. There is nothing left to do."

Xiang Luo turned over and went to see Zhu Yan face to face.Under the dark night, he couldn't see the other party, but Zhu Yan still felt the other party's gaze.

"what happened?"

"It's okay." After Xiang Luo finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch Zhu Yan's direction, touched Zhu Yan's arm, and stretched out his hand to squeeze it.

Zhu Yan frowned, and said sarcastically, "Is this a drunkard?"

Xiang Luo didn't deny it either: "That's right."

Zhu Yan stretched out his hand to grab Xiang Luo's outstretched hand, and brushed his fingers teasingly across his palm: "Then what are you going to do?"

Xiang Luo firmly grasped his hand, stroked the smooth back of his hand, pulled the hand to his side, and held it like that.

There is no other action.

Xiang Luo's hands were hot and big.The hand holding Zhu Yan was not heavy, as if holding the most precious thing.

It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.

Zhu Yan swallowed the words that came to his lips, but didn't speak.

Xiang Luo only smiled and said, "That's really good."

Zhu Yan sneered: "Drinking makes you so courageous."

"Shut up," Xiang Luo stretched out his hand to pat Zhu Yan's head, "You've ruined the good atmosphere."

"Then what do you want to say." Zhu Yan restrained himself a little.

"Then come over here." Xiang Luo pulled Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan didn't move, Xiang Luo moved a little towards Zhu Yan, and the two got closer, and they could even feel each other's breathing.

Feeling Xiang Luo's breathing, Zhu Yan finally calmed down.

The two leaned on each other like this.This is the closest distance between the two of them.

Only then did he listen to Xiang Luo.

"I miss you."

Zhu Yan didn't speak.

Xiang Luo squeezed Zhu Yan's hand and ran his fingers across each of his fingers: "I only have you left."

Xiang Luo said: "I lost you for five full years. The reason is mine, and I am willing to be responsible for it.
