back to the end

This evening, I talked about everyone's predictions for the future. The Lin family, who planned to wait and see what happened, discussed the situation of Chucheng, who was still sleeping, after the family interaction time had passed.

Lin Zhizhong inspected Chucheng very carefully—in fact, these few days, due to the death of a large number of people with high fever, Lin Zhizhong has not been as busy as the previous few days.He and Lin Yu have been taking care of Chucheng for the past few days. The situation in Chucheng has gradually stabilized, but the heat has not subsided, but it has not worsened. Will burn into a vegetable.

Because it's simple, no mutant has symptoms like his.

Lin Yu also felt that Chu Cheng might not have a good life for a few days, and he took care of him more and more, probably because he wanted to watch him die before as atonement.

After the routine diagnosis that day, Lin Yu supported the sleepy Chu Cheng, and after Lin Zhizhong slowly poured him half a bowl of sugar water, the two brothers went to sleep.

It's also because Lin Yu's memory is not very clear, and he completely forgot that there will be a huge earthquake tonight.

But in my previous life, because I was in the wilderness at that time, I didn't see with my own eyes how a bustling metropolis was destroyed, the roads were torn apart, and turned into ruins, so the feeling was not so intense.Moreover, he came to his hometown village when he fled in his previous life. Although it had become a desolate and abandoned village at that time, he still remembered that his ancestral house was basically still there. There was no food left.

So because of his relaxed state of mind, he had long forgotten about it until after falling asleep, he suddenly felt the bed he was lying on shaking, and then he heard Lin Zhizhong's panicked voice: "Xiaoyu, wake up, it seems like an earthquake !"

earthquake?

Lin Yu thought he was dreaming at first, but he didn't realize it until Lin Zhizhong dragged him to get up and run to the door. The earthquake, the earthquake that started after the mutant race appeared!

He bluffed for a while, suddenly he lost all drowsiness, didn't grab his clothes, and ran outside with Lin Zhizhong in his pajamas. When he arrived at the master bedroom, he was about to knock on the door, when Father Lin and Mother Lin opened it in a hurry. the door.

The family was stunned for a moment, and Father Lin hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, you and your mother, go and stand in the open space outside the door. Zhizhong will follow me, and we will carry Chucheng out, in case the house collapses later." It won't be good!"

Lin's mother pulled Lin Yu and ran out. Lin Yu knew that the house would be bad, let alone it had only been repaired. It seemed that only a few old houses in the village had collapsed, and nothing else happened, because the houses were relatively low, and this The houses in the village were all built by the villagers themselves. Just like Lin Yu's grandparents, when they were built, they were intended to be passed on to future generations. So the foundations were extremely solid, so very few fell.Moreover, every house is far apart, and the house generally has only one floor, and it will not affect the surrounding houses. Compared with the city, it is an insignificant loss.

At this moment, Lin Yu and Mama Lin ran out together, and ran to a relatively open place. Several households near the outskirts of the village also came out, and gathered together one after another—because of the high fever some time ago, the population in the village was sparse. Few, especially young and middle-aged people, died more. At this time, a bunch of women were standing, there were some men who were not infected, and there were two people who had survived high fever.

It’s not right to say it’s a man, because one is the shy little boy from his cousin’s family who always pulls Lin Yu to eat, and the other is a young man named Bai in the village. They have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they are very energetic, but their family is a bit poor, so they have not been married until now. Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village were infected, and they survived. It has to be said that they are lucky.

Although the two of them don't look sick and weak at this moment, they still feel a little weak.Lin Yu observed secretly, and roughly understood that these two people, in two months' time, might be much stronger than him.

But now everyone doesn't know that a group of women who have lost their backbones gather together at the moment, looking really panicked, and then they hear the sound of clattering and booming, and they see that some houses in the village have collapsed.

Those who ran out started crying and howling towards the house. One family heard someone yelling and ran out quickly. As a result, as soon as they reached the door, the house collapsed with a bang.

The earth is still trembling, not shaken by people's fear, nor will it be softened by people's fear.

Mother Lin hugged Lin Yu, her whole body trembling.But she hugged Lin Yu so tightly, protecting the son like a hen guarding a chick.Lin Yu was quietly hugged by her mother, wrapping her arms around her, and occasionally patting her mother's back lightly to relieve her fear.

This is the most powerful part of motherhood. Obviously, they are so afraid that their whole body becomes weak, but when they think of their children and protect them, they can often change from the weakest women to stronger than men in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until Father Lin and Lin Zhizhong came out carrying Chu Cheng who was still in a coma that Mother Lin relaxed and hugged Lin Yu's hand tightly, and asked Lin Yu if he was afraid, until she heard Lin Yu's voice He was calmer than her, so he was relieved.

The earth was trembling all the time, the houses in the village fell down one after another, and the dust splashed up. Everyone was like animals in the wilderness, hugging each other in twos and threes, trembling and accepting the severe punishment of nature.

I only heard the sound of rumbling and the sound of the mountain collapsing. I don't know how long it took, and then I gradually felt that the whole world became quiet.

At first, everyone raised their heads and watched quietly. After watching for a while, they called up the people around each other. A group of people supported each other and stood up slowly. Are the pigs, chickens and sheep raised at home lost?

Of course, the Lin family returned to the house immediately. Mother Lin checked something vigilantly, and found that her house was safe and sound except for a few tiles in the toilet at the back. The pigs in the toilet were frightened, and they still nest together and dare not move.

Mother Lin sighed. The whole family couldn't sleep now. A mountain collapsed behind the mountain. Fortunately, it was far away from the village and did not flood the house. Very difficult.Moreover, the laborers in the village died of illness, sickness, and the few remaining people, there is enough.

I'm afraid that the land in this village will be desolate a lot.

But after all it was the middle of the night, and after sighing, I still couldn't keep eye to eye, so after talking for a while, everyone settled down and rested.

From the second day onwards, many people in the village started to have red eye circles and runny noses. Lin Zhizhong was busy running around again.

Lin Yu seldom went out, so he quietly moved the contents of the cellar to the kitchen at home, or waited on the ground in the field, occasionally went to see the chickens and ducks, picked eggs, and took care of Chucheng when he thought of it.

Mother Lin collected a bunch of radishes, duck eggs, and so on. Now, because she didn't dare to eat them all at once, she went to learn how to pickle kimchi, how to pickle preserved eggs, and salted duck eggs from her cousin Li Lanxiang, so she could save them and eat them slowly. .

In the cousin's house, except for the little grandson Li Doudou who survived now, his father died young, there are three people in the family, two women, Li Doudou had a fever last time, the cousin and Doudou's mother are fine.This time, even Doudou's mother was infected, and the family was in a hurry. Mother Lin often went to his house, but because the two families were close, this time there were only orphans and widows left in the Li family. Mother Lin went to watch, One is to see if there is any help, and the other is to prevent the family from panicking and not having a backbone.

Cousin Li Lanxiang, when Lin Yu first came back, seemed to be a kind and kind old man in good spirits. When I saw her occasionally this time, she was already stooped and looked haggard.

As for Li Doudou, he was originally a naive and brilliant child. Now that he has become a lot more sensible these days, he occasionally saw that Mama Lin couldn't carry things, so she brought back the pickled things that Mama Lin had pickled.When Mama Lin came, he asked him to eat, but he never ate, because his grandma said, Uncle Lin's family was not easy, the family didn't have any land, so they depended on elder brother Lin to see a doctor, and other people gave them food to live on.

Lin Yu looked at the boy's behavior coldly at the beginning, but later saw that he was really sensible, and saw that his cousin was afraid that their family would not have enough food, so she often sent some rice and vegetables, and once even sent a jar of lard Add a piece of bacon over here.

At this moment, although the farmer's family doesn't lack these things, no one knows what life will be like in the future. People in the village are panicking now. Even if Lin Zhizhong helps to see the doctor, it's just enough for the family to send. The meat is also given by someone, and it is cut into pieces, weighing only one or two catties at most, which is considered generous.

Therefore, Lin Yu's heart gradually softened when he saw his cousin's family treat his family like this.When Li Doudou came occasionally, he told him very carefully that he must not show his strength in front of others, and he should not talk too much about himself in front of the villagers.

Li Doudou was still ignorant at first, but when he heard Lin Yu say that there are people like him in the city who have great abilities after a fever, but when people found out, they were taken away and locked up for blood tests every day , was also frightened.I've paid more attention since then.

It was also because of this that when the news in the city spread to the countryside along with the people returning from the big cities, Li Doudou heard about the tragedy and trusted Lin Yu a lot.

It was also because Lin Yu found that he often only ate half full, so he didn't dare to eat too much - since the mutation, Li Doudou felt that if he ate openly, he could eat a whole pot of rice in one meal.But Li Doudou didn't dare to eat too much when he saw grandma's surprised expression after eating half of it.

It's not that Li Lanxiang is reluctant to part with those meals, after all, she's only living for this grandson, she's just afraid that the little grandson will hold on, seeing him put down the bowl, she thinks he's full.

The misunderstanding continued like this until Lin Yu found out and asked Lin Zhizhong to secretly tell Grandma Li about the things in the city while seeing Doudou's mother, so that Li Doudou dared to open his belly and eat his fill.

But since then, Li Lanxiang has become more grateful and trusting to the Lin family.

However, no matter how the living people develop, they cannot leave the footsteps of those who want to leave - when the scorching heat passed, a large number of infected people died one after another, and the village was suddenly empty, and many families died alone. Nothing left.

Many elderly people in the village who survived the first wave of mutation passed away during the earthquake and plague.

In the village, it became lonely all of a sudden.

Looking at the empty village, the village chief called everyone to have a meeting—there were only a few hundred people left in the village.

And most of them are old people and women.

The village chief didn't say much, he just said that so many households in the village are now empty, and he heard that people from the city next door came back to the village after the disaster, and he only said that the city is already in chaos, and only sent people to eat people Yes, the situation in the village is fine now.

As for the rest, everyone in the same village should help each other a bit in the future, I'm afraid that the world will be chaotic in the future, and there will still be some sins.When the big guys heard this, they panicked even more, and asked the old village chief for advice.

We discussed for a while how to store things, what to do if there are outsiders, I heard that there are mutated people in the city, they are just like the people in the myth, what to do if these people come.

After discussing for a while, there was no confirmation, but it was just comforting each other.

At this time, the village head changed his subject and immediately talked about the Lin family——Lin Yu and his family were all here. Doudou was leaning against Lin Yu at this moment, and when he was talking about the mutated person, he held onto him tightly. touched Lin Yu's arm.Lin Yu felt sorry for his parents who both passed away at such a young age, and they have been very kind to him recently. This time, seeing him startled, he was patting him gently to make him steady.

Now that he heard about the Lin family, he immediately stopped his hands and looked up at the village chief.

The village chief smiled reassuringly, and said, this time when the Lin family came back, they didn't have any food storage in their house. Everyone in the village has a habit of storing rice and rice in their homes, some are rooms, some are cellars, and some are barns.

Now there are a few families who have no relatives in the city, and the family lives in the country. Their family members are gone. Seeing that Lin Zhizhong has been treating everyone recently, the village has come forward to make decisions for these few families. Give it to the Lin family.

As soon as the words came out, there was a silence.
