tall and rhubarb

Gao Chang originally planned to get up and meditate after a short sleep, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep until dusk, and passed in a daze for more than ten hours, probably because he was tired from going up the mountain to catch wild boars a while ago, and he couldn't do it for a while. The reason for slowing down.Sitting on the bed and yawning, Gao Chang scratched his chicken coop-like hair, always feeling as if he had forgotten something important, what exactly was it?

Regardless, it's not a big deal anyway, Gao Chang shook his head and walked out of the yard. He will be leaving for a long trip in two days, and these miscellaneous things at home must be properly arranged.Miaozi has a wild personality, so he definitely can't take it out. Most of the other people in the yard walked around the cat when they saw it. In this way, the only one who can help take care of it for a while seems to be the child upstairs.

But no matter who takes care of it, Miaozi only eats meat. Although he can catch some mice and insects to fill his stomach, but when the food is not enough, if he doesn't feed it in time, this guy will harm the frogs in the yard.How many times has Gao Chang taught it about this, but there is still no way to get rid of it, because there are so many frogs in the yard, and no one will notice if one or two are missing. Miaozi seems to understand this truth.

In order to store some meat for Miao Zai, Gao Chang has not been idle for the past few days. He has been hunting in the mountains all night. He brought back a cow and a few rabbits. He also caught a lot of snakes, and he was reluctant to eat them. Leave it to the cat.Gao Chang gave Wei Chengying the meat and cats, and asked him to only feed the cats three taels of meat every day. If there were too many cats, the cats would become lazy, and they were raised to only eat ready-made lazy cats.

Wei Chengying is very happy to accept this task. He and Miaozai have always been close. With the arrival of winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower. He and Miaozai will stay together on the roof to bask in the sun almost every day. And rainy days are excluded.Ever since Gao Chang slashed a poisonous snake in front of his face last time, Wei Chengying's attitude began to change. Not only was he not as hostile as before, but there was also a faint taste of worship. Gao Chang couldn't stand this, Every time I see his shining eyes, I make a detour.

He was about to go out now, and he didn't know what he would encounter along the way. Gao Chang felt that he had better figure out some things now, so he took advantage of Wei Changrui's work in the field and secretly took Wei Chengrui Ying took it aside.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" Don't think that this kid will talk nicely because he worships Gao Chang.

"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow..." Gao Chang was thinking about how to say this.

"I know, if you feed Miao Zai two or three ounces of meat every day, you can't let others sneak into your house. Don't worry if you leave the matter to me. I've said it several times. You're so wordy." Said impatiently.

"That's really troublesome for you. You and your dad also came in from the outside. You know how dangerous it is outside?" Gao Chang didn't care about the little kid, and the cliché was his main purpose tonight.

"Well, then you should be careful." Wei Chengying stiffened his neck, and finally softened his words.

"Then do you have any experience that you can tell me? Tell me, you might be able to save your life at critical times!" Gao Chang squatted on the rock, with a face full of humility, and Rhubarb also squatted seriously under his instruction. sit aside.

"Experience..." Wei Chengying scratched her chin with a mature expression. "Well, just try not to go to crowded places, they will snatch your things, and even grab the rhubarb and roast it..."

"Okay, I know this, what else?" Gao Chang interrupted Wei Chengying with a smile, and stretched out his hand to smooth Rhubarb's hair.

"Hmph, don't think it's not a big deal. The people in the city are terrible. Those guys can't find anything to eat. I heard that there are still people who eat children. Don't you believe it?" Wei Chengying was anxious.

"No, I believe." The first year when the blue sun just appeared was the darkest year. At that time, most people hadn't figured out the way to survive. People in the city had no food source, and some were naturally It is also foreseeable that brutal people will embark on the road of cannibalism.

"Those people come out to do bad things at night, not only grabbing things on the street, but also smashing other people's houses. No one cares at all, and the police are hiding. It's better during the day, and you can see clearly everywhere. Those people I don't dare to come out to do activities, I..." At this point, Wei Chengying seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped talking.

"How do you know it's a good day?" Gao Chang asked.

"Don't you know this by thinking about it?" Wei Chengying turned his head away and snorted dissatisfiedly, but he still couldn't hide the tension in his tone. After all, the child was still too young.

"That's right, I think it would be great if we were not afraid of the sun, just like Miao Zai, its mother is a female cat who has been exposed to the sun and has not died, so the newborn Miao Zai is not afraid of the sun. It can be like this..." Gao Chang secretly raised his eyelids to observe Wei Chengying's expression while speaking.

"What's wrong with that?" Wei Chengying thought, isn't he the only one himself?

"Really? I don't believe it." Gao Chang looked like you were joking.

"Of course it's true. I'll tell you something, but don't tell others." Wei Chengying lowered his voice.

"of course."

"When we were in G City, people were often taken away in the middle of the night. I heard that they were asked to bask in the sun to see if they could survive. Some people secretly took pictures, and there were a lot of pictures. Some people were driven to the school playground, some were standing, some were lying down..." The low childish voice was telling shocking things on this winter night, and Gao Chang was a little cautious when he heard it.

"Did anyone survive?" Gao Chang touched his temples with goosebumps.

"I don't know." Wei Chengying shrugged.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Gao Chang frowned, was he being tempted by a child?

"We saw that photo, and the person who took the photo never appeared again. They all said that he had become one of the photos." Wei Chengying said seriously.

"Do you think you are telling a ghost story?" The more he said, the more unreliable he became. Gao Chang felt that his decision tonight was a bit wrong.

"Really, my father said that at night, those lying on the ground in the photo will get up, come out of the photo, and go to the group of people to ask for their lives."

"The group of people?"

"It's the group of people occupying the university town. They have guns, and some people saw a group of people in white coats living there. When my dad heard about it, he burned all the white coats at home."

"Hey, how about we tell the truth?" Gao Chang suggested after being silent for a while.

"Okay... okay." Wei Chengying didn't seem to understand why Gao Chang said that suddenly.

"To be honest, when you came here, I felt very suspicious. It must be a mess outside now. How can the two of you walk so far without incident? The medicine you brought in the car was not snatched. .”

"That...that's because..."

"Because you are from a family of Chinese medicine and your dad knows Kung Fu? Don't fool me, what can he do with his three-legged kung fu? Now I have to leave the village temporarily, and most of Bai Bao and his brothers will leave. I'm really not at ease with you father and son." Gao Chang stared straight at Wei Chengying.

"My father and I are good people, forget it if you don't believe me!" Wei Chengying seemed a little angry.

"Look, since we live in the same courtyard, mutual trust is very important. How about I tell you a secret, and you tell me a secret?" Gao Chang discussed in a friendly voice, and he Of course it's impossible to let it go.

"What's your secret?" A child is a child, and when Gao Chang said that, his curiosity arose.

"This is a big secret, can you promise not to tell anyone?" Gao Chang sat cross-legged on the stone and said solemnly.

"I promise."

"Not even your father."

"...Well, I won't tell." Wei Chengying hesitated for a while before agreeing.

"Did you know? My rhubarb is not an ordinary dog." Gao Chang approached Wei Chengying's ear mysteriously and whispered.

"What kind of dog is that?" Wei Chengying seemed a little disappointed, it's not an ordinary dog, isn't that a dog?

"It can talk." Reluctant that the child could not be tied to the wolf, Gao Chang was saving money this time. Anyway, he and Dahuang are leaving tomorrow. When they come back next time, Dahuang will no longer be Dahuang. personal.

"Liar!" Wei Chengying didn't believe it.

"Da Huang, tell him something." Gao Chang raised his chin and asked Da Huang to act like a dog talking.

"Idiot." When it's a circus?

"It...it called me an idiot!" Wei Chengying was dumbfounded.

"Look, I didn't lie to you."

"Did I hear it wrong just now? Let it be said again!" Wei Chengying suspected that he was actually hearing hallucinations just now.

"Two idiots!" Squatting aside and listening to Gao Chang and Wei Chengying talk for a long time, Da Huang came to such a conclusion.

"Really, really." Wei Chengying blinked and finally believed it.

"Look, I really didn't lie to you, don't tell others, they will take Rhubarb away." Gao Chang looked left and right, and then repeatedly urged Wei Chengying.

"Well! I promise I won't tell you!" It turned out that he was not the only one who was worried about being taken away. Wei Chengying suddenly felt a feeling of sympathy for this fierce big dog, and he didn't care about being scolded. up.

"Then my secret is over, it's up to you to tell." The following is the main course.

"I... When I was in kindergarten, I often skipped classes and went out to play." Wei Chengying glanced at Gao Chang, and continued: "Wetting the bed during naps, and throwing the quilt on other people's beds..."

"Oh, forget it, I thought you were a man, that's why I exchanged secrets with you, I didn't expect you to be so dishonest, just take it as my misjudgment." Gao Chang waved his hand, stood up from the ground, Take the rhubarb to go.

"Wait, wait, let me tell you, this time to be serious." Wei Chengying also felt that he was not kind, and he didn't want to be despised, so he quickly grabbed Gao Chang's hand and told him not to leave.

"Really?" Gao Chang gave him a suspicious look.

"Yes." Wei Chengying seemed to have made up his mind.

"Say." Gao Chang returned to the stone and squatted down.

"It's just... I'm actually not afraid of this kind of blue sun. My dad and I came here from G City without any accidents because my dad taught me to drive. During the day he wrapped himself in tent cloth, and I drove. The car was parked in the wild with few people, so I didn’t encounter bad people very much.”

"You drive?" That's no wonder, who dares to move outside in broad daylight.

"You don't believe I can drive? It's true. In fact, driving is easy. I'll learn it soon." Because he just lied to someone, Wei Chengying worried that Gao Chang would no longer believe him, and hurriedly explained.

"I believe, I'm just a little curious, why are you not afraid of the sun."

"What's so strange about this, if you can get through the sun for the first time, you won't be afraid of the sun in the future." Wei Chengying took it for granted.

"How does it feel when you are exposed to the sun?" This is what Gao Chang wants to know most now. He is not sure whether he will walk on this road one day in the future, but he is very curious, what is the difference between life and death? What a feeling.

Wei Chengying was silent for a while, and then said: "The body seems to be burning, very hot, and then very angry. There is nowhere to use all the strength, as if it is about to explode. When seeing moving things, you will be very angry. I was even angrier when I caught it... Then I heard my mother calling me." At this point, he stopped suddenly.

"Your mother..." The matter seems to be somewhat different from what Wei Changrui said. How did Wei Chengying's mother die?

"I've already told you a secret, one for the other, we're even." Wei Chengying obviously didn't want to answer the next question, Gao Chang didn't force him, nodded and let him leave.

"If you want to know anything, you can ask me directly." Not long after Wei Chengying left, Wei Changrui, who was working in the field not far away, came over.

"I won't say it." Gao Chang still crouched on the stone, raised his head and smiled at Wei Chang Rui.

"What do you want to know?" Wei Changrui leaned on a hoe and sighed.

"I want to know now, when you left, was your son's matter discovered by others?" About how the woman died, Gao Chang decided not to ask any more questions. Wei Chengying's attitude just now may not be the same. What a good way to die.

"At that time, we wanted to move from the urban area to the suburban relatives' house, but we were delayed on the road and got exposed to the sun. My lord was fine, and Chengying responded quickly. There were several families nearby when the accident happened. I don't know how much they heard. , We left that night, not sure if we caught anyone’s attention on the way.”

"It turns out that's the case. Wouldn't it be better to say no earlier, hehehe..." Gao Chang jumped off the rock after hearing what he said, and seeing that the time was almost up, he hooked up with Wei Changrui I went back to the yard.Rhubarb, who was left on the spot, grunted a few times without haste, and stepped forward, with his tail raised high.

If the facts are true to what the father and son said, then they just escaped here and did not get involved in any conspiracy too much, Gao Chang can feel relieved to some extent.There are so many people living in this village, everyone knows each other, and every senior leader has talked to them. Maybe they don't get along very well, but he doesn't want the villagers to be cannon fodder for others without knowing it.Now that I'm going on a long trip, I should clarify the matter before I leave, so it should be considered as demining.

Back in his own room, Gao Chang raised his eyes and looked around the room again. What did he forget?
