Apocalyptic Tundra Age
Chapter 72 The Night Ranger heard: [The eight hexagrams of a middle-aged man]
At a glance, there is a large area of remains of greenhouses under the river embankment, and there is a small area over there that is exceptionally clean, and the huts built with rough planks are gathered together in twos and threes.
Generally, the shedkeepers hired here would not have such a simple house. It seems that this is the refuge for the townspeople.
I don't know what's going on there, the two quickly quieted down and lowered their bodies, trying to reduce their sense of presence.
But the riverside is an endless flat land, and the two big men's goals are too big, even with the cover of the field ridge, it is still a bit dangerous.
"I can't get close like this, I can't see anything, brother, do you know other ways?" Cheng Yuming whispered in a breathy voice.
Xu Zhonglei also felt that it was not good for them to stay here all the time, so he looked up a little to see if there was any place to hide people around.
After hundreds of years of river sedimentation, the large piece of fertile flat land gifted by the big river, except for the roads and ponds dug out by hand, is so flat that Xu Zhonglei can see people walking far away at a glance.
His mind was spinning rapidly, feeling helpless.
"Brother, can people leave that dam on the river?" Cheng Yuming asked, pointing to the huge dam above their heads.
Xu Zhonglei said without hesitation, "Of course, there is a road on it, people can drive..."
The two looked at each other, go up!
This levee was built after the flood in 98. In 98, a huge flood occurred in the whole south.The water in the river channel couldn't contain it and flowed to both banks. Sugang Town and Suining County on both sides of the river were severely damaged. The flood even directly flooded the streets of the county town, submerging half of the county town.The flood even flooded several acres of fields in Xu Zhonglei's family, and several surrounding villages had no harvest for the entire harvest season.
When the flood happened, Xu Zhonglei was still very young, and he had no memory of the flood in his mind.But his hometown was a hard-hit area, and the old people in the village talked about whose children fell directly into the flood, and whose whole house collapsed. Xu Zhonglei also listened to it a few times.
This huge embankment built along the river was built by Zhengfu after the flood. Many old people in the town went to the construction site at that time to move stones, even Xu Zhonglei’s grandfather also went to the construction site, so even after a big Xu Zhonglei still believed in the quality of the earthquake and the dam.
The embankment is trapezoidal, with a very small slope. The two turned around and found a small slope with dense vegetation and climbed up. They looked around and could see the entire land that had been ravaged by earthquakes and heavy snow.
This big river is more than ten meters wide, and the ice has just melted, and there are still rushing ice cubes colliding on the surface of the river.On the other side of the river, another six kilometers away is Suining County. From here, you can only see faintly collapsed houses and patches of lush aquatic plants.
There was a beautiful red bridge on the river.But now, when Xu Zhonglei looked around, the river was empty and there was nothing, and a few bridge piers could be glimpsed on the other side.
"The county seat is on the other side of the river. The road to the county seat is the three bridges. Only one of them collapsed there. Judging from the current situation, it should be almost collapsed. The good news is that if something happens in the county, They couldn't find the boat, and they couldn't get through, and even if they found the boat, not many people could come over." Xu Zhonglei asked himself that this should be regarded as good news.
"Don't look, let's go forward and see the situation ahead, come here, you lead the way." Cheng Yuming patted Xu Zhonglei who was still talking.
Standing on the embankment is equivalent to standing on top of the people below. Most people don't pay attention to what happens above their heads, but as long as there is a friend who loves "looking up at the stars", their positions will be exposed.
Therefore, the road led by Xu Zhonglei is still not an ordinary road-the two of them walked along the gentle slope inside the river, even if a friend wants to look into the distance, what they can see may be two heads walking.
Standing on a high place, the further east you go, the clearer the situation in the town. The houses in the town are almost collapsed, only one or two scattered small bungalows can barely see the outline, and many wooden houses have been built in the shed area. Big and small, they all look oddly shaped.The wooden house was built against the embankment, probably to keep out the wind.
"Strawberry Garden, have you seen that? That huge iron frame is on the side, and there are strawberry greenhouses behind it." Xu Zhonglei pointed to that place for Cheng Yuming to see.
"I see, there are many people around there." Cheng Yuming said in a low voice, "Let's go over and have a look."
"Damn, there are quite a lot of people left in the town." Xu Zhonglei pulled Cheng Yuming, and the two crawled to the strawberry shed.
The embankment is five or six stories high, and the wind is blowing so loudly that it makes people's eardrums rumble. Even if the two of them get close, they can only hear some meaningless syllables blowing in the wind.
"……obedient……"
"...good thing..."
The people below chatted for about half an hour, and the two of them lay on the embankment for half an hour. After everyone dispersed, Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming changed their movements with sore backs, and went to the slope on the other side of the river to relax. muscles and bones.
"Brother, did you see that there are obviously two groups of people below." Cheng Yuming said.
Although the two people are close together, there is no obvious camp, but one side is tall and strong, looks very energetic, and the clothes are capable, and the other side is very in line with Xu Zhonglei's concept of "refugees". You know, lean and sluggish, and the clothes are worn out.
Those who speak are spirited boys.There is no spatial separation between the two groups, but the difference can be seen at a glance in temperament,
"I know, the group of people who are more energetic, there are not many people, only about eight people, there are more than 40 in the town. I didn't see people from our village inside, I don't know where they went." Xu Zhonglei just thought in his heart The count may not be accurate, but it is close.
Cheng Yuming: "When I left, those people in the town dispersed, and those outsiders all went to a house, and they should live together. Brother, I have a bold idea..."
"To tell you the truth, I also have..." Xu Zhonglei really felt that the two of them had a good understanding.
After the catastrophe, an outsider came to the town. Seeing that the outsider seemed to have some purpose, maybe the three people in the village...
***
It was very dark at night in the countryside without lights. In order to prevent losing his teammates with a single turn, Xu Zhonglei tore off the straps on the sleeping bag, and the two tied each other tightly.
"There is still a lamp? It's quite a capital!" The rest of the place is pitch black, only the small house where this foreigner lives is showing a little light from the flashlight.Xu Zhonglei tugged on the lace, signaling the other party to be careful.
"Brother, what are you pulling me for?" Cheng Yuming followed the belt and grabbed Xu Zhonglei's wrist by accident, "Are you scared?"
"Shit, be careful, don't let someone sweep you here with a flashlight." Xu Zhonglei said, biting his back teeth.
"My hands are so cold, keep warm, don't move." Now the dew is heavy and the wind is strong, and a gust of wind blows over, it can indeed make the two of them shiver from the cold, Cheng Yuming is disobedient, and holds on even tighter.
Xu Zhonglei complained in his heart that this was an ancient method of teasing girls, but it was indeed... very useful, Xu Zhonglei wrote it down silently, and learned it.
In the dark night, in the hut where the big man lived, there were voices of talking, and the two slowly approached and squatted in the corner to listen.
"...How many people does Boss Wu need? Is it enough to send a batch?"
"Including dozens of people here should be able to do it...Anyway, we have found the person, and the number is enough. Fuck it, he can't return the goods anyway..."
"If only we had come earlier, we could get hundreds of people at one time. Didn't the old man say that when it snowed, hundreds of people froze to death?"
"Are you sick, can you go out at that time? At that time, you can play basketball with your mother's head in the cold, hahaha. You fell in love with that girl on the road, she is really good, she is fat in vain, with fleshy buttocks, you want It's not that I have a wife in my house, I want to try too..."
"Hey, Er Lei, didn't you go in and see that girl, how is it?"
"Hey hey~ Tell me~" That was the voice of several people booing together.
"You beasts! You have no humanity at all! I was going to see people, you think everyone is like you, a pile of shit!" This should be Er Lei talking.
"Then you are worse than a beast!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
As soon as sex was mentioned, the atmosphere of the discussion became heated in an instant. Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming squatted outside and listened to each other's bed affairs for more than an hour. All kinds of jokes about people in Dongguan were flying all over the sky.
Hearing the uncomfortable expressions shown by both of them, Xu Zhonglei even wanted to leave. Among them, several middle-aged men were particularly disgusting, with strange views and unsightly swearing.
"...The girl over there is good-looking, but the food is unpalatable. I stayed there for a few months, and I didn't touch any chili..."
"Something from Boss Wu is unpalatable? I don't know what's in it, but it doesn't taste good when I bite my mouth. I guess, Boss Wu has hidden the good things long ago when he came back from the province..."
I don't know how the topic diverged, from colored things to food, and a group of people started talking bad things about their old club, and the two quickly listened attentively.
"... When he came here, he said that he felt that life in the factory was better, so he came back. I think, Boss Wu might have been kicked out by people from the province... Which one would freeze at tens of degrees below zero?" If you go out in the weather of the dead, there must be something tricky..."
"He will come back when he comes back. Anyway, he has guns, people, and dozens of bodyguards. He can go wherever he wants. Speaking of which, my family has lived there for generations, and I don't even know about the mountains. There is still coal, and the mines have been opened..."
The word "coal" attracted the attention of Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming.The south is very short of coal, but there are still coal mines. In the south, the quality is generally not good, or it is buried too deep. Generally, it is useless, and it is not mined, so it is thrown aside, so most people really don’t know that there are coal mines around them!
But in this situation, from what these men said, that Boss Wu is planning to dig coal mines by himself?
A middle-aged man coughed slowly, and said in a steady and complacent tone: "You don't know, the province has known about this coal mine early in the morning, and experts have come to take a look! Oh, there is a lot of coal, and the entire area in our place The underground is full of coal, no! It can’t be opened! So it’s all military secrets, and only a few older generations can talk about it. This is now, the coal in the north can’t be transported, and there is no coal in the province, which makes Wu Zhangsan Come here!"
Middle-aged men like to brag, and they also like to talk about some messy things in front of their peers, in order to get their adoring eyes.But you can't believe what these people say, you can't believe a word, if you are serious, you will lose.
But this person said the name of Boss Wu, Xu Zhonglei felt a little impressed: Wu Zhangsan, who, who seems to have heard of it?
After squatting in the middle of the night, the two of them squatted until they lost all feeling in their legs. The voices of the men in the room became quieter, and after a while, there was one after another of snoring.
Xu Zhonglei felt that he had gained a lot tonight. Except for the pornographic jokes, what this group of men said was quite informative, so he wanted to retreat and discuss the next thing with Cheng Yuming.
He pulled the belts they were wearing with his hand, and whispered in Cheng Yuming's ear, "Let's go."
"Wait, there is movement of getting out of bed inside!" Cheng Yuming took Xu Zhonglei's hand, touched his ear, and pulled it.
"Peng-" The broken door of the hut opened, and a black shadow flashed through the crack of the door. That black shadow looked a bit fat in profile, and it should be one of the men inside.He closed the door, took a few steps forward, and moved a few times towards the corner, when a sound of water came...
Strangely, the man didn't turn around and go back into the house after solving the problem.Instead, he stood at the door for a few seconds, then turned his head abruptly, and walked into the dark night...
The man moved quickly and hurriedly. Cheng Yuming pulled Cheng Yuming's waist and hurriedly followed him, wanting to see what the man was up to.
Generally, the shedkeepers hired here would not have such a simple house. It seems that this is the refuge for the townspeople.
I don't know what's going on there, the two quickly quieted down and lowered their bodies, trying to reduce their sense of presence.
