poor road [end times]

Soon, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin saw the big goose that Yang's father was talking about at the entrance of the village.

Really arrogant.

The big goose in the village has always been a legendary bully, and the entire Hua Kingdom is no exception from south to north.

Birds have no teeth, and so is the big goose, but it has a ferocious toothed beak, coupled with a ferocious personality and loud voice, which naturally makes the villagers avoid it.

But Yang Yiqin didn't take it seriously when he was a child. Relying on his flexibility and ability to fight, he used to chase a group of geese all over the village by himself, and later he simply took a group of children to chase them all over the village. .They, a group of children, were stopped by Yang Yiqin's grandfather in the end, and told him to scare the big goose like this, and he would not be given a big goose stewed in an iron pot during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, when Yang Yiqin saw the goose that was as big as a dog, not only did he not feel scared, but he was very excited.

Seeing his expression, Father Yang patted him immediately: "Take it easy, this big goose can't be eaten for the time being."

Yang Yiqin: "... for now?"

Father Yang: "Your cousin said it herself, after all, it's a meat goose."

Yang Yiqin: "..."

Also, there is too little food in the last days, and chickens, ducks, fish and geese are all food in the first place.

Yang Yiqin's cousin is a woman in her 40s, about 1.5 meters tall, and she smiles like a Bodhisattva.However, the dialect in their village is full of momentum when they speak quickly, so even people who seem to be gentle can hold their ground when chattering endlessly.

The big goose stood behind the woman, its fierce eyes swept over the people present, flapping its snow-white wings from time to time, as if it was about to flap its wings and strike.

Seeing this, Mao Xiaoliu immediately became excited.

——It is natural for cats to tease birds.

Yang Yiqin controlled himself, but not the mischievous Mao Xiaoliu. When the other party rushed towards the big goose, it was too late to stop him.I saw that Mao Xiaoliu was so fast that only afterimages were left, but he killed the big goose in a moment, and then with lightning speed, he picked up the opponent's feathers and rode on the back of the big goose, and finally stretched out two A paw firmly stuck the goose's slender neck.

The big goose started to yell loudly, the sound was so loud that the people around couldn't help covering their ears, even the wolves and green dogs bent down, obviously they didn't like the quarrel-like calls of the big geese .

But Mao Xiaoliu didn't take it seriously at all, and even meowed angrily several times after realizing that the goose dared to resist, and grabbed the goose's neck even harder.

After 1 minute, the big goose was defeated in disgrace.

The vigorous black cat riding on it won.

At this time, there were a total of eight people at the intersection at the head of the village, each leading an animal, including a cat, a dog, a big goose, and two big roosters.The others all looked curiously at the black cat that subdued the big goose, and whispered together.

Aunt Biao smiled and applauded: "Hey, whose kitten is this? So powerful?"

Yang Yiqin said, "My family."

"Are you... Qinqin?" The cousin recognized him for a while before she recognized him, "I haven't seen you for many years, your father said you came back last night, which surprised us all."

Yang Yiqin greeted politely: "Good morning, Aunt Biao." After speaking, he pulled out Feng Lin who was beside him, "This is my boyfriend, Feng Lin."

Aunt Biao: "..."

The rest of the village fell silent.

Some of them had never heard of homosexuality at all, and for a moment, the eyes of everyone showed uncomfortable delicacy and scrutiny.

Father Yang stood up and said, "Feng Lin will also be my son in the future, so you just get along as Qinqin's peers."

Although Yang's father and Yang's mother have always been open-minded, it does not mean that other people in the village are also in the same situation.Many of these villagers have stayed in the countryside all their lives, and their inherent traditional concepts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Some even still cannot get rid of the patriarchal thought. It is obviously more difficult for them to accept this.

Therefore, Father Yang can only express his firm position and attitude, forcing them to get used to it as soon as possible.

Anyway, he and Ling Lan have already accepted their son's choice, it doesn't matter if others agree or not, as long as everyone maintains a good relationship with ordinary neighbors and fellow villagers on the surface, it is enough to jointly resist the crisis outside.

Aunt Biao also went out to work hard in her early years, and she has always been close to Mother Yang. The two often criticized some bad habits in the village, so she was only surprised for a while, and then laughed and said: "It's good, it's good, there are people in the last days. It’s a good thing to have a companion, and only by working hard together can we live a good life.”

Hearing this, Feng Lin greeted politely: "Morning, Aunt Biao."

Aunt Biao smiled: "Good morning, so this black cat was raised by the two of you, right? It's so good. The big goose hasn't been subdued by other animals for a long time."

"We didn't raise it very much." Yang Yiqin chatted with her about the family life, "The main reason is that its parents are more powerful."

Although Mao Xiaoliu can suppress the big goose, it is obviously more afraid of wolves and green dogs. Otherwise, it would not have been on the verge of breaking out when they met yesterday. One cat and one dog confronted each other for a long time.However, the wolf and green dog are extremely aggressive, maybe not because they can't beat the big goose, but because they can't stand up to the opponent's unreasonable and noisy barking.

This is probably the nature of animals, there are always places where they are afraid of each other.

Father Yang asked, "Is there no danger outside this intersection?"

"No." The aunt said, "We just finished watching, and there are no zombies or other animals infesting."

Father Yang nodded: "Let's go to Miaokou for a meeting first."

The so-called Miaokou is in the center of the village. There is an open space of several hundred square meters, surrounded by a circle of vegetable, grain and oil shops, small supermarkets, butcher shops facing the open space...all of which are opened by the villagers themselves.The village likes to set up tables for funerals, happy events, singing and operas. Every year when the market is held, the center of the market is also here. The small vendors are centered around the temple entrance and extend along the larger streets of the village to the ends of the village on both sides.

The current Miaokou has long lost the excitement of the past.

The desolate streets are interlaced with mottled snow and ice, the weeds and shrubs on the edge of the house are withered and yellow, and the dry vines climb crookedly on the brick and concrete walls, adding a lot of desolation to the winter.

At this time, several people were standing under the dead tree next to the open space, chatting loudly in dialect.

Everyone walked over, and Father Yang said, "There is no problem on the East Street."

The person standing also said, "West Street is fine."

There is a small river in the east of the village. The main road of the whole village is east-west. This road leads to the farmland to the west and the north-south road to the east. Boundless farmland.Due to geographical reasons, the three villages are short from north to south and long from east to west, so the patrol team in the morning is also divided into two teams, one team patrols the east of the village and the other patrols the west of the village.

The ends of the main east-west roads are also blocked, and the roads that can really leave the village are at the north and south ends. The two ends pass through the roads in the vast farmland, connect three villages in series, and lead directly to the provincial road connecting Xinzhong City.Some of the surrounding fields are planted with wheat, and some are covered with overwhelmed corn stalks, and then covered with a thick layer of snow. The terrain is uneven, which can greatly slow down the movement speed of zombies and animals.

In this way, if there is any danger, they can defend and escape.

Someone asked: "It's almost ten o'clock now? Are the others still coming?"

"Come on." The others asked, "Wait a little longer."

After a while, more than ten people came, mostly men and women aged 60 to 20, only a few young adults in their [-]s.Yang Yiqin noticed that most of them were holding bows and arrows made by Yang's father.

It seems that Father Yang is popularizing archery in the village.

The village chief stood in the middle and glanced at the people present: "Where are the others? Call them all over, there are newcomers in the village, and we have something important to talk about today."

Someone asked, "Where are Grandma Zheng and Grandpa Liu?"

The village head replied: "Those three old people should stop barking, and don't fall in winter."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin's faces, Father Yang turned sideways and explained in a low voice: "Our village has selected some people to form a patrol team, and we gather here every day, and everyone checks the situation around the village in batches. People with average physical fitness are not included in the selection, and the elderly and children do not need to participate, but we have to visit them frequently to ensure their safety."

Aunt Biao also said: "And the village also asked every household to leave at least one person to look after the house, because there was an incident where some people sneaked into other people's houses to steal food."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin frowned: "Will my mother be unsafe?"

There are nearly 30 people in Miaokou, and it seems that they are all pushed out by various households. The rest of them are at home alone, and there are no neighbors, which is somewhat disturbing.

Aunt Biao smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, your father is in charge. After a few months, no one in our village dares to make trouble anymore. As for the people who used to make trouble..."

She didn't go on.

Not long after, Mother Yang and others also came to the temple entrance.

There were also three children who came together, and one of them was a little girl who was only about five years old and followed behind her mother timidly.Yang Yiqin remembered this little child, she was his little niece, and the little girl's mother was Yang Yiqin's cousin named Liu Yinger.

Liu Yinger showed a surprised expression after seeing Yang Yiqin: "It's really you, as long as you are safe. I heard that you came back by helicopter. What's going on?"

Yang Yiqin: "It's a long story."

Hearing this, Liu Yinger showed a sad face: "From June this year, everyone's story has a long story."

She is a nurse and her husband is a doctor. The couple work in a public hospital in Xinzhong City.They were so busy that they kept their feet on the ground on weekdays, and one weekend they finally had time to spare, so they drove their daughter back to the countryside to visit their parents.

Unexpectedly, he encountered the end of the world and was trapped in the village.

It sounds like a blessing in disguise, but unfortunately, the brother in the family mutated and bit her relatives and her husband. In desperation, she carried her daughter and fled to the second floor, blocking the door with a cabinet, and escaped unharmed.

Now only she, her daughter and a sister-in-law are left in the family.

At this time, the village chief looked at Yang Yiqin: "Qinqin, come over with your partner and tell everyone about the situation outside."

The others gave way first.

Later, after seeing that the person next to Yang Yiqin was a man, he looked at each other with indescribable expressions.

Yang Yiqin didn't care, and directly explained to everyone that there are national security zones everywhere.

Someone asked: "Is there a national security area near us too?"

"As far as we know, there is a safety zone more than 100 kilometers north of Xinzhong City, but it's too far away." Yang Yiqin said slowly, "But we came all the way from the north, and we haven't visited it in other directions, so we can't be sure if it is. There are closer safe zones."

After hearing this, the person who asked the question was a little suspicious: "But I think our village is quite safe. We have water and food. There is no need to take the risk of going so far to other places, right?"

"That's right, there are only so few people in our village, and we have enough food for several years. If we go to a place with a lot of people, will the food be taken away by others?"

"Why do I feel that the boy from the Yang family ran back to the village at this time just to trick us away?"

"Could it be that they have no food in big cities, so call our attention?"

"Think about it carefully, why do ordinary people have helicopters? I've seen them on TV. They are a partnership to lie to us, right?"

"And I went out to work hard to learn other people's 'advanced' thinking, and I was with a man..."

Although everyone was muttering to each other, they didn't deliberately restrain their voices, they plotted loudly in a whisper, and everyone present could hear them clearly.After all, that's how it is in the village. It doesn't take long for something to spread throughout the village. There is basically no privacy at all. If you care about it, you are narrow-minded.

Therefore, they are so confident.

Yang's mother was angry.

However, she has always been well-educated, so she just stepped forward and said with a smile: "Of course my son came back to see me and his father. Xiao Feng is also a good boy and worried about our safety. If it wasn't for the two of us The hole is here, and they will definitely not come back. Since they even have helicopters, they can go wherever they want, collect as much supplies as they want, and our family has a lot of food, so don’t worry about those who have It's gone."

Those villagers still had a bit of unconvinced look on their faces.

Mother Yang didn't rush, and continued to laugh and said: "How about this, if you have so many things you don't like, why don't you leave with his father and two young people? It's good for everyone, no one should I can't understand anyone."

As soon as Mother Yang said this, those people quickly changed their expressions.

"Don't, don't, sister-in-law Yang, what are you doing? Everyone is just curious."

"That's right, all of us are just talking casually, how can we not understand them?"

"Our village can't live without Brother Yang..."

If Father Yang hadn't united with everyone to establish the village's defense system and wiped out the zombies in the entire village one by one, they wouldn't be able to survive more than 60 people now.And during this period of time, Father Yang has been making new bows and arrows and distributing them to everyone. Everyone has followed Father Yang to learn martial arts, archery, and hunting, so that their supplies are so abundant.

If Father Yang left, the backbone of the village would be gone.

Then the village chief continued: "Xiao Yang has been learning martial arts from his father since he was a child. He and his partner are both young and strong. After coming to our village, it's good if you don't take advantage of them. I'm afraid that others will take advantage of them." Are you cheap? You still care about the emotional life of young people, if you are so free, why don’t you think about expanding the rate of farmland planting?”

Yang Yiqin smiled, and glanced at the talking uncles and aunts.

They all lowered their heads shyly.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, the village head continued: "The village is very safe now, but we must not take it lightly. We have to plan in many ways. If there is danger, there must be a way out. Do you want to sit here and wait for death? "

Hearing this, the villagers finally stopped gossiping.

Liu Yinger picked up her daughter, looked at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin curiously and asked, "Is the national security zone big?"

"It's not small, but the most important thing is that the national base has weapons, hospitals, and food, which can withstand the attacks of large-scale zombie waves and animal waves." Yang Yiqin described, "And the Beishi Survivor Base has rescued many scientists and built a temporary The laboratory is doing its best to research zombie vaccines to ensure that humans will not mutate after being bitten by zombies."

When everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought.

Yang Yiqin changed the subject: "But I believe that even if we don't go to the national security zone, their people will find us sooner or later, it's just a matter of time."

The village head was thoughtful: "In short, let's live our life well." After finishing speaking, he looked at Feng Lin, "I heard from Jianguo that the helicopter belongs to you?"

Feng Lin nodded: "That's right."

The village chief said politely: "Look, can you walk around occasionally to see if there is a closer safety zone?"

"Of course." Feng Lin said, "We also had this plan in the first place."

Liu Yinger asked: "If there is, when will we go there?"

The village head only replied: "It depends on the situation."

After the villagers learned about the general situation outside, they began to divide their work.

In the morning, everyone had already checked the conditions of the various "fortresses" in the village, and they only needed to arrange a few teams to patrol in different directions during the day.Some of the rest went to feed the chickens and ducks in the chicken house in the village, some went to feed the pigs in the pig house, and some helped the old people pickle pickles.

The livestock in the village are now the common property of the village, and everyone takes care of them quietly, for fear of any problems with them.

After the work was assigned, Mao Xiaoliu was still on the goose's back, holding the goose's neck majestically.

Yang Yiqin waved his hand at it, beckoning it down, and then it jumped down unwillingly, and walked slowly to Yang Yiqin's feet.The liberated goose also staggered to the back of the cousin, quietly and without any movement.

Aunt Biao laughed and said, "It would be nice if we could be so quiet while stewing big goose."

After speaking, he took the big goose to patrol.

Yang Yiqin: "..."

This cousin of his was a bit scary.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were assigned to Father Yang's subordinates, and they continued to familiarize themselves with the situation in the village with each other. The village chief and an uncle were also accompanying them.

Several people came to the main intersection on the south side.

Here, like other village entrances, stones and bricks are used to block and pile up obstacles.It's just that a large iron gate that can accommodate a truck was installed in the middle. Many obstacles such as cement bags were erected in front of the iron gate, and many trenches were dug on both sides.

If you want to go out from here, you have to open the iron gate first, and then clear the obstacles.

Father Yang explained: "Stacking cement bags together can also be used as a fortress, and you can hide behind and shoot the enemy. Although it is a bit troublesome when you go out, you can feel a little more at ease when you sleep at night."

"If you're worried, you can add another obstacle." Feng Lin suggested, "Using wire mesh can hang most of the zombies and beasts."

"There are too few young and middle-aged people in the village, so it's not so easy to deal with."

"We can help."

"The sub-zero temperature is too painful now, and the materials are not easy to get... just wait a little longer, the trenches and obstacles are enough for the time being." Father Yang shook his head and said, "The village chief and I are more concerned now. It’s the situation in the neighboring villages. After the road was blocked by heavy snow, cars often got stuck in the snow layer of the concrete road. We haven’t visited the villagers in front and back villages for more than a week.”

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked at each other.

Feng Lin said, "Let's go and have a look."

Father Yang thought of something and asked, "Helicopter?"

Feng Lin nodded.

Father Yang looked at the village chief.

The village chief thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but be careful when you approach, and explain your purpose to the people below, so that you don't get beaten by the people in the village as enemies. very good."

If you break the helicopter... that's not going to be easy.

You may not be able to find someone who can cultivate within a hundred miles, so you can only find out by yourself.

Yang Yiqin said, "Don't worry, I'll go with Feng Lin. Is there anyone I know among the survivors in the neighboring village?"

When he was a child, he often ran back and forth between the three villages, and some elders should still remember him.

"Of course." Father Yang said, "Do you remember Uncle Zhang who often visits your grandfather to see a doctor?"

Yang Yiqin said with a smile: "Of course I remember, Uncle Zhang lives in the west of Qiancun Village. How is he doing now?"

That Uncle Zhang is a retired firefighter. He is upright and straightforward, and has participated in many disaster relief operations.After he retired, he worked as a physical education teacher in a primary school in the village. He often went to Yang Yiqin's grandfather to see his old problems.

Later, the primary school in the village was demolished, and all the children were sent to the county primary school. Unexpectedly, he was still in the village.The person who can bow and arrow mentioned by the village chief must be Uncle Zhang.

Yang Yiqin has admired each other since he was a child, and the two have a good relationship.

"Your Uncle Zhang's body is getting stronger and stronger. It's better than before the end of the world. He taught us how to dig trenches and build cement bags. Their village also has a solid fortress now." Father Yang said in a regretful tone. , "However, your grandpa Zhang and grandma Zhang are the first batch of mutated people, and your sons and daughters of Uncle Zhang can't be contacted in other places. Fortunately, your wife is fine, but their village..."

The village head followed Father Yang's words and continued: "When we reminded the neighbors in the past, they thought that the reason why the villagers bit people was because they had rabies, and they just took them to see a doctor. When subduing the 'patient', many people They were bitten, and they didn't isolate the bitten people in time, which led to the second wave of zombification."

"Uncle Zhang is very sad, and even blamed himself." Father Yang understood the other party's feelings very well, "He felt that he did not protect the folks in the village well."

Although the village chief also felt sorry for Qi Qiran, he quickly returned to reality and said seriously: "Actually, this is inevitable, don't you remember? When you shot the zombie's head for the first time, you were almost shot by the zombie's head." The family member broke the spine, and the family came to you and Linglan's house crying and cursing for several days, demanding that you pay for your life... until they were surrounded by zombies and rescued by you again, they were still cursing. , with an attitude of being unreasonable and unforgiving."

That is to say, the situation is serious now, animals and plants have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the living environment of human beings has become more and more difficult. That family has died down and accepted the reality of the end of the world.

But that doesn't mean they let Father Yang go.

Until now, they still feel that Father Yang "killed" their relatives-even though Father Yang was only trying to save them at the time.

Father Yang's tone was very helpless: "There is no way, after all, it is a bit too difficult for everyone to accept the existence of zombies."

Feng Lin's eyes became colder: "They only make trouble for no reason."

Yang Yiqin also sighed deeply: "Dad, you and Uncle Zhang have done your best."

One can imagine the consequences of the sudden invasion of zombies in these aging places in the countryside.However, even if some villagers can't understand the current situation, and their thinking is rigid and they criticize randomly, people like Yang's father and Zhang Bo can't do nothing to save them.

Good people are always berating themselves.

It's ridiculous that bystanders are always criticizing good people.

The author has something to say:
