food crisis [end times]
Chapter 30 [1st update in a row]
The woman panicked and yelled that she was dead, Xiang Luo stopped her when she saw her running, and asked, "Can you tell me clearly, how did you die?"
The woman was already crying in fright, pointing behind her for a long while speechless.
When people are in extreme fear, they are speechless. Looking around, people have completely dispersed. Some started to run home, and two hid away and looked back, mainly to see what would happen in the house. No zombies will come out.
Xiang Luo analyzed the situation, but he still didn't think there were any zombies.If so, they should have run out with the door wide open.
He patted the woman on the shoulder, stepped into the snow and walked into the house.
This house has a history of more than 30 years. Xiang Luo passed by when he was a child and saw that the house was dilapidated. He has been repairing it until now.The previous earthquake had created a crack in the house, and it was only repaired briefly and then continued to be used.
There is no other reason, an old couple lived here.And it's an old couple who don't have a good relationship with their children.
After entering the house, the kitchen was frighteningly cold, with no heat at all.Looking up, the cracks on the wall are still there, and the part that was previously blocked with rags has been blown away by the wind. The cold wind blows through the cracks and blows on the person's face, making people feel cold in their bones.
As soon as he looked down, he saw an overturned sea bowl, and a bowl of corn dregs flowing out of the broken bowl was still hot, and the fragrance could penetrate into his nose, it should have been sent by the woman who just ran out.
It can be seen that the situation inside must not be optimistic.It's on the same street, and it's not far from his home. Xiang Luo just wanted to make sure if there were any zombies, otherwise it would be unsafe for family members to come in and out.
The door of the inner room was open, and Xiang Luo made a psychological preparation for himself, and took a quick glance inside.
After glancing at it, it was unbelievable to look directly at it!
The old man squatted next to the kang, and he was facing a kang stove.Many people here dig out a stove next to the kang in the house and only use it for burning the kang, which heats up quickly and lasts for a long time.
There was still firewood stuffed in the stove, and the old man squatted there motionless, as if he would pull out a lighter and light the stove in the next second.
As for the old lady lying on the kang, a person like Xiang Luo who had seen too many zombies shivered.
The old lady was covered in bruises, her posture was as if she was about to get up from the bed, she was facing the sky, her head resting on the top of the kang, her waist was high, and her body was fixed on the kang in an extremely twisted posture.And the old lady looked at the door with an extremely distorted blue face, and her eyes with white pupils were facing Xiang Luo!
Xiang Luo couldn't help taking a step back, and then checked again, where the old couple was frozen and motionless.
The old lady was undoubtedly in a state of zombification, but because the indoor temperature was extremely cold, the old lady froze during the process of zombification.
As for whether the old man froze to death before or after her, I don't know. It's not even clear when the couple froze to death.Because almost no one comes and goes here.
Xiang Luo closed the door, looked back at the kitchen cabinet in the outhouse, and opened it with his hand. Except for the bowls, chopsticks and plates, there was a jar inside. Xiang Luo reached out and opened it, and there was half a jar of moldy rice.
Just looking at it, Xiang Luo became anxious and pantothenic.This old couple watched Xiang Luo grow up. Although they didn't have much contact with each other, when they passed by from childhood to adulthood, the old man and lady would greet him.
Seeing it with my own eyes is gone now, it must be a bad feeling in my heart.
Walking out of the house, I saw that the two people outside had already walked in a little bit.Seeing that Xiang Luo came out intact, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
"Call...call Xiaozi to come here."
Dutiful son, different occasions have different meanings.It can simply refer to a filial child.It can also be the descendants who mourn before the spirit.
"It's all gone?" The middle-aged man who was walking with Xiang Luo exclaimed, and entered the yard, but hesitated whether to go in and have a look.
"It's all frozen. The old lady looks like she was frozen when she was about to turn into a zombie. It's terrible. Don't look at it for now, wait until his family comes over." Xiang Luo persuaded and left the yard, listening to the footsteps behind , the man still couldn't help being curious and walked inside.
Sure enough, within a few seconds of entering the room, there was a strange cry, and finally Xiang Luo rushed out of the yard in one step, his face turned pale with fright.
It's no wonder that the woman from before was so frightened. The middle-aged man who had seen zombies twice was so frightened, let alone the woman who had never seen a zombie.
Xiang Luo shook his head, and said that he was not allowed to go in, so he went in instead.
The family name is Zhao, and there are two sons in the family.One big and one small.However, it is really difficult for parents to be fair to two children. The result is that the two sons are dissatisfied with their parents, and the two daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law are at odds, and they have been arguing for several years. Afterwards, I didn't communicate with each other in various ways, and I became estranged from the old man.
Later, the youngest son bought a house in the city, and the old man took the money, and the eldest daughter-in-law broke up and separated completely. They lived here in the east end, and the eldest son’s family bought a new house in the far west end. The son's family doesn't come back often, and the eldest son's family doesn't always visit.
Only this old couple supported each other in this dilapidated house.
The youngest son never came back, and now there is only the eldest son in this village. Xiang Luo walked half of the village and brought him here. The eldest son sat on the ground and did not dare to move, and it took a long time for him to cry. Jin, only glanced at the door, his eyes were red, he touched his tears twice and only sighed.
After all, they are not absolutely cruel people.It's just that people live with daily necessities, and there will always be conflicts.It's just that the conflict between them will pass with the death of the old man.
Xiang Luo watched the Zhao family come to settle the matter, and left after making sure there was nothing else to do.
The old lady was frozen in the dead body, and there is no guarantee that she will get up and bite again after thawing. The old man also ate moldy food, so it is not safe.So the Zhao family cleared out an open space at the head of the village, piled up the firewood saved by the old man's house, and cremated the old couple on the spot. There was no coffin, so they cleaned up the pickle jar and put away the bones. buried.I don't have the guts to go up the mountain easily.
Xiang Luo didn't survive and went home and stayed there. He didn't expect that the matter was not over yet. He went to see that something was wrong.
When it was getting dark in the afternoon, Xiang Luo heard the sound of the siren in his room, and when he opened the door, he heard a knock on the door.Turning off the alarm, Xiang Luo put on his padded jacket and opened the door to go out, and saw that everyone coming was the neighbor diagonally opposite the door.His name was Li Guobao, and Xiang Luo in the neighborhood called him Uncle.
Xiang Luo called out and welcomed him into the room: "What's wrong?"
If it were someone else, Jin Wu wouldn't be allowed, Li Guobao treated Xiang Luo well, and the neighbors in the two neighborhoods moved a little bit.When I was preparing for the end of the world, I walked away for two or three days, and the livestock at home also greeted him to help take care of them, so they were closer than others.
Li Baoguo was wearing a military overcoat, a woolen hat, and a dark face with a sense of simplicity. He entered the room with a bit of trouble on his face.
Seeing the strange look on his face, Xiang Luo thought it was some serious matter.With a more serious expression, he cut straight to the point and said, "Uncle, just tell me what's going on, there are no outsiders here."
The current patrols are purely voluntary, because the big blizzard doesn't need to look outside the village, and the manpower needed is greatly reduced.Xiang Luo's family chose not to go, they are not people who can bear hardships, so they rested for two days. At this time, all three of them were there, and Xiang Luo thought he saw Zhu Yan and the others not talking.
Li Baoguo stood at the door, looked at the other two who were curious, pulled Xiang Luo and pushed towards the door, and asked in a low voice, "Did you enter Lao Zhao's house today?"
Xiang Luo nodded: "I went to call his son, what's wrong?"
Li Baoguo looked left and right again, lowered his voice and said: "Xiao Luo, we are not outsiders, tell uncle the truth, did you pick up anything?"
The wording is clever, "pick up".
Xiang Luo is so clever, he said immediately: "Did he lose something?"
When Li Baoguo saw his reaction, he knew it wasn't, so he nodded solemnly: "I said it couldn't be you. But the old Zhao's daughter-in-law turned the house inside and out several times, and said that the old Zhao family's ancestral gold The ring is gone. It is said that it was handed down from the Qing Dynasty, and it is an antique. The old lady never said who to give it to, and the ring was hard to find after this person left."
Xiang Luo only sneered: "The ghost knows if it was given to the youngest daughter-in-law and didn't tell her."
Li Baoguo laughed as soon as he heard it: "I think so. But she insisted that she was taken away by someone, whoever went in today must have taken it away. Don't you think it's a bad luck? She lives in the old Zhaotou's house." The little daughter-in-law on the left was kind enough to cook some big balls for them to send to them, but she was scared out of her wits, and she is still stupid, and you are the only one. Who else can you ask? Or I heard Just say that I’m here to inquire about it, and our father and I have lived through this. You should also think about it carefully, if they really start a fight, or spread lies, what will you do.”
Xiang Luo went through the matter in his mind, and first comforted Li Baoguo with a few words: "Don't worry about it, I know it well. I just don't care if I'm not here."
These words also reminded Li Baoguo: "It's not true! Why did you say that the old lady became crazy when she was fine? Didn't she eat moldy food? I went to his house to look around, and I couldn't see a grain of food inside or outside the house. The funeral has not yet been settled, so let’s look for some gold ring first.”
After that, Li Baoguo didn't stay, and left after saying a few gossips.
After the person left, Xiang Luo sat on the sofa holding hot water and thought about it. Although Zhu Yan didn't hear what happened to Xiang Luo, he could understand a little bit from Li Baoguo's few words.He only gloated and joked:
"What? The meddling panacea got retribution so soon?"
That was someone else's business. When Xiang Luo went to Zhang Luo, he should have thought that he might get into trouble.
Although the self-sweeping snow in front of the door is ruthless, it is clean.
Xiang Luo stared straight at the coffee table, and said quietly:
"I kind of understand why you said you want me to have an irreplaceable value."
