Chapter 24 Prelude to Winter

When the Lin family repaired the house, there were still some materials left, but not much, the bricks and tiles were gone, so Lin Yu took Chu Cheng and Lin Zhizhong like thieves in the middle of the night to pick up a lot from the collapsed house.

People have searched carefully over there, but they are all for food, and no one has focused on bricks and tiles yet.So a few people picked some more, piled them up, and planned to try them out.

Chu Cheng knew what a kang was like, but the problem was that there was a yard between the Lin family’s kitchen and the room. The utility room in the room was cleaned out.

The utility room is closed at night to the chickens and ducks that cannot be locked in the fence. Lin Yu was very depressed when he learned that his hope of sleeping on the Kang was shattered, but now he heard that the room can be vacated, and he was suddenly happy again Jumping up and down to make that room his own bedroom.

Anyway, for chickens and ducks, Mother Lin said that during the winter, there might not be enough food, so she prepared to kill the grown chickens one after another to eat, and keep the hens, and after the winter, they can hatch chicks and continue to raise them.

So the parents readily agreed to Lin Yu's attempt.

But it was Lin Yu's attempt, but it was Chu Cheng who did the coolie—at least he still had a little memory of Kang in his mind, but it was because there was not much sand left, so he planned carefully and thought about it. A day or two before starting to work.

It is really easy to do it, but Chucheng is still very weak at the moment. Lin Zhizhong and Lin's father are busy these days when the snow is falling, and the young man surnamed Bai goes to the mountain every day to look for animals. Fall into the trap.It is conceivable that there is no harvest for any animals that come out in the snowy day, but they are actually just taking advantage of the snowy day to learn how to trap and hunt, so they are actually very busy.

So Lin Yu and Chu Cheng did meticulous work at home, and after a week of work, they finally repaired the kang.

Originally, no matter how slow it was, three or four days would be enough, but because Lin Yu had a sudden whim, he thought that the kang could also have a flue. If the flue is placed in the greenhouse, the temperature inside can be maintained, which is an out-of-season vegetable.This is an extremely simple craft in the eyes of northerners. Lin Zhizhong gesticulated with Chu Cheng for a long time. Chu Cheng frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "No."

Although it was pitiful to see him with slumped shoulders, Chu Cheng was helpless. Fortunately, when making dinner later, Lin's mother finished frying a dish. On one side, with a scream, he jumped up and rolled in a circle happily.

After rolling, he found Chu Cheng standing aside. Although his face looked as calm as usual, there was a smile in his eyes.

Lin Yu's face flushed as he hugged the quilt, and he felt a little tense in his heart—this person is always like this, he looks cold, but he is actually smarter than anyone else.

Seemingly unsmiling, in fact, his personality is very smooth; he is obviously unlovable and indifferent, but when touched, he has a long-sleeved and good-natured personality who can control the overall situation.

Very good at disarming people.

For example, Lin Yu, after completely relaxing in front of him, suddenly realized - when did he become so defenseless against this person?

Thinking of this, although his face was slightly red, there was already a slight look of wariness in his eyes.

Chu Cheng, who was standing on the side, was very good at observing words and expressions, and felt the sudden defense of the young man in front of him almost instantly.He sighed slightly, there are some things that should be said.

So he just sat down, stared at the boy with a hot face, spread his hands and said, "Look, I'm very weak now, if your family doesn't take me in now, as soon as I go out, it's freezing and snowy outside, I'm sure I won't survive a day One night."

"You, why are you saying this!" Lin Yu didn't understand what he meant.

His straightforward and cute reaction pleased Chu Cheng, so he actually curled the corners of his mouth and showed a small but absolutely pleasant smile: "I mean, you don't have to be afraid of me. I will never hurt you, or, Drag you back. If one day, we encounter danger together...you can leave me behind, and I won't hate you."

Lin Yu's pupils almost shrank, and he said with a dry smile, "What are you talking about? Why are we in danger?"

"How would I know?" Chu Cheng, who had said what was in his heart, felt relaxed again. He looked at the flustered young man who was hugging the quilt in front of him, and rubbed his head in a good mood - he had long thought After doing this, God knows that every time he saw Lin Yu laughing heartlessly in the sun, he couldn't help but think, that black hair with golden sun rays must be very soft and feel good to the touch.

His guess was right.

Probably because he was shocked by Chu Cheng's words, Lin Yu was rubbed all over his head, and he didn't remember to resist at all. He behaved like a big rag doll.

It took him a while to digest Chu Cheng's words, but when he was about to ask, Mother Lin's voice came from outside the door: "Dinner is ready!"

"Why do you think so much?" Chu Cheng got up and was about to leave. Seeing his troubled look, he said with a smile, "Just remember, no matter how many secrets I guess about you, I will never hurt you, and... you You can leave me at any time, the initiative is in your hands. Remember this matter, it’s fine. Well, don’t think about it, go out to eat!"

"I...you..." Seeing Chu Cheng walk to the door of the room, Lin Yu murmured for a moment, and blurted out, "Why?"

Asking this sentence, as if he had found an outlet, he hurriedly asked again: "Do you want to use the underdog policy against me? People are selfish, and survival is instinct, right?"

Lin Yu wasn't angry or anything else, he was simply puzzled, as Chu Cheng said, Lin Yu couldn't think of a reason why Chu Cheng would be unfavorable to the Lin family, Chu Cheng didn't mutate, didn't have strong fighting power, his head Although smart, there is never a shortage of smart and ruthless people in the last days.

But there are very few people who are willing to take in a family of ordinary people and are willing to fight together, which is why there are so few people who survive.

In the last days, the most terrifying thing will never be the large-scale plagues and natural disasters, but the mutual consumption of human beings.

Chu Cheng is a smart person, so Lin Yu is sure that unless a better choice comes, Chu Cheng will not betray their family.But it's one thing to know, but quite another to actually let your guard down.

Sometimes, habitual vigilance is already a deep-rooted habit, and it has nothing to do with whether you understand something or not.

But Lin Yu couldn't understand Chu Cheng's words.So he asked this question, and said seriously: "Don't worry, we won't drive you away now, our family has enough supplies for us to stay together until next spring, and by then, your health should be much better It's..."

Hearing this, Chu Cheng finally couldn't help bursting out laughing. He turned around, walked back to Lin Yu, bowed his head and whispered in his ear, "I'll tell you a secret. Actually...after my grandfather passed away, Then I found out that I had stomach cancer, which was at an advanced stage..."

"What did you say?!" Lin Yu's eyes widened.

Chu Cheng blinked and said, "So... that day I was planning to go back to the city and wait to die. However, it seems not bad to spend the last time in such a good place..."

After finishing speaking, he smoothed out Lin Yu's messy hair, and took the dull Lin Yu out to eat.

If you don't go to eat, Mother Lin will go crazy!

On this day, the two confessed almost frankly to each other, which subtly changed the atmosphere.

The way of getting along is almost the same, but Lin Yu's inexplicable guard against him has also become less.Occasionally, I would drink a Coca-Cola drink after dinner like a juggler, or even read a book while biting a chicken leg.Chu Cheng also cooperated very cooperatively by pretending that he hadn't seen anything. Occasionally, seeing Lin Yu's delicious food, he leaned over to take a bite, and then proudly waited for Lin Yu, who disliked him, to give up half of the food. I took one out of my pocket.

The Lin family is still the same as usual, but after a week of heavy snowfall, the snow on the mountain has already reached half a person's height, so Lin Zhizhong and Lin's father have no plans to go up the mountain.

The whole family stayed at home at the moment, and when they got up together this morning, they found that the snow was relatively small, so Mother Lin announced that they would kill the sheep together today.

The sheep should have been killed long ago, but Father Lin kept saying that he would wait until winter to kill the sheep, and the fresh ones were just right for hot pot with mutton.Eating mutton hot pot in the cold winter is simply the highest enjoyment in life, so upon hearing the news, the Lin family immediately gathered in the backyard.

In the snowy day, no one came out. Father Lin and brother Lin were in charge of killing the sheep. Mother Lin boiled water. Chu Cheng prepared a basin to put things in. Chu Cheng was ordered to invite his cousin and Doudou over.

When Doudou heard that the sheep had been killed and eaten, the child was immediately overjoyed, screaming and jumping.On the other hand, my cousin doesn't want to come over. She ate too much last time, and she still feels guilty.

Lin Yu was eloquent, and finally said that this was his mother's death order, and fortunately he did not disgrace her order, and took his cousin and Doudou home.

When I got home, the sheep had already been killed.The cousin saw that only Mama Lin was busy working alone. The sheep had been raised very well before, and they seldom went out.Lin Zhizhong was assigned to chop firewood, and Chu Cheng was lighting a fire at the stove, and now he was coughing earth-shatteringly.Lin Yu hurried in to help, lest the fire should go out and start again later.

After the cousin came outside, the sheep was tidied up faster.

After a while, two women took over the kitchen. Lin Yu and the others retired and took Doudou to the room with the kang—now the room of Lin's father and mother Lin.

It's funny to say that, Lin Yu originally wanted to sleep by himself after he cultivated.But he didn't expect the temperature to drop so fast. Before he moved in, Father Lin had already spread the quilt first.

Lin's father and Lin's mother are old, and they can't stand the cold, especially this year's cold situation, which is almost several times higher than in previous years.Lin Yu racked his brains to get this kang, but it was actually prepared for Lin's father and Lin's mother.But he didn't expect that he didn't even experience it, and he was directly taken over by Papa Lin.

In vain, he moved back to live for one night. In the middle of the night, Chucheng was so cold that he touched his room again as if he was sleepwalking. As soon as he got into the quilt, it was as cold as an iron sheet being put into the snow. Freeze for hours.Lin Yu jumped up instantly, but Chu Cheng, who was usually weak like a chicken, seemed to have a strong sense of survival. At this time, he was extremely powerful. The more he struggled, the more he hugged him, and finally hugged Lin Yu He was so tight that even his feet were tightly locked.

After being hugged by a humanoid heater for several nights, Lin Yu became angry—being woken up by the iceman in the middle of the night every day, it would be better to sleep together from the beginning, at least if Chu Cheng’s body temperature is not low, he will not go crazy and hold him like crazy hold on.

So, now, there is a Kang room where Father Lin and Mother Lin sleep, and Lin Yu sleeps with Chu Cheng.Lin Zhizhong sleeps alone every night, although he feels cold, but because he has been exercising since the beginning of summer, now he persists day by day, exercising every day, but he doesn't feel so cold, he just needs to soak in the heat before going to bed at night Water feet, you can feel the dawn.

Therefore, he has always taken pleasure in the fact that it is not himself but his younger brother that Chu Cheng is entangled with.

However, looking back many years later, Lin Zhizhong felt that he was an idiot. If he could go back to the past, he felt that the first thing he had to do was to find himself at that time, and then beat up the self who had no sense of crisis. Meal - what a cute and chubby little brother he raised, he actually took advantage of that bastard Chu Cheng!
