Chapter 42: Intertwined Human Hearts
The middle-aged man raised his hand, his eyes dodging, but his speech was still clear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He said, "What about eating, what about eating, and what about drinking?" ”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed from warm to cold, which was still an inevitable problem in the face of all disasters. The crowd was silent, because no one thought to come out first to answer this question, and if one of them could not be answered well, it would be easy to offend everyone. And most of the people in this room are past middle age, not confused, and even know the age of destiny.
And after the establishment has passed, then this person, whether happy or not, since he has lived for more than 30 years, he has already understood the various forms of this society, experienced the ups and downs of large and small, and finally summed up a word, that is called experience, and some of the words they say are called experience talks.
The more difficult it is for people to become selfish, and when it comes to charitable donations in peacetime, most of them are to talk to others after they have no shortage of food and clothing, I am a person with compassion, but once it comes to a really difficult situation, when it seems that I am not qualified to show my compassion and love, I will become extremely selfish.
Therefore, some people, occasionally in the vegetable market, next to the small businesses on the side of the road, see beggars, while showing pity and offering their love and compassion, they will sigh from the bottom of their hearts when they see the indifference of many people coming and going, these people are really selfish, and then it seems that they instantly sublimate their hearts, pat their chests, and go away contentedly.
But put yourself in their shoes, if those people are converted into those pedestrians who come and go, they are thinking, what is the matter with other people, I earn my own money for my own family to spend, I don't want to share it with others, what's wrong, I use my own sweat in exchange, why should I give it to you, just rely on you to take a mouth to ask me?
Are these ideas wrong? No, it's all right, people are strange, have different ideas, and naturally have their own paths, but since they all have their own ideas, in the collision of conversations, there is harmony one by one, but more is a contradiction caused by different ideas.
When the contradictions gradually gather, when a certain point is reached, the first person to stand up will become the concentration of contradictions, and this person is called the first bird.
And everyone present, whether they have experienced it or seeing it is believing, are all people who must have experienced such a thing, and they have seen or experienced themselves, but in the end, there is often no good end.
Therefore, the silence at this moment, when it was a little weird, began to slowly and little by little devour people's hearts.
....
Everyone wants to live, or even take their relatives and live safely to the end, even Ning Qi is not exempt from vulgarity, let alone these ordinary people, therefore, the small office discussion room of the neighborhood committee, which was originally standing for the sake of the community, began to think only with his own interests after the words of this ordinary middle-aged man.
The atmosphere has reached such a point that it seems that it is impossible to talk about it, and the discussion meeting at this time can only be abandoned.
In the end, a middle-aged man who was a little bald on the top of his head, but his eyes were still sharp, and he had obviously been a soldier, announced that the discussion would end first, and everyone would go home first and think about what to do, and bring it up together tomorrow.
I have to say that in contrast, because of the existence of Ning Qi, the people who still exist in this community at this time have not yet felt the threat of real life, so although their hearts are tightened, they still do not have the hidden nature that bursts out from the line of life and death.
What is this nature, people have not yet met, but soon, they will meet.
.....
On the way home from the office, Ning Qi's father heard many people hiding in the corner crying, as well as the desperate roars outside, and the hissing and terrifying sounds of lone insects.
Ning Qi's father recognized a figure, the only girl left by the teacher's family surnamed Yu who lived in the upper echelons of their family. Both parents are teachers, and during the winter vacation, they also go out to make up classes and plan to work part-time, so that this girl can add a good dowry in the future. In the end, only the little girl did not go out because she slept too lazily and escaped.
At this time, this figure was sitting in the garden of the community, looking at the door of the community with blank eyes, where it was dark, she clearly did not make a sound, but her body was still trembling.
Ning Qi's father sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't make a sound, now he was also upset, he was not in the mood, and he was not qualified to do anything to help this little girl, he paused slightly, but still resumed his original pace and continued to move forward.
In the afternoon, Ning Qi's father smoked a cigarette on the windowsill and looked over, and found that there was still a familiar figure there, and then he extinguished the cigarette and turned back to the room in silence.
On this night, the little girl was found guilty of suicide, slitting her wrist with her own kitchen knife.
When everyone found out, it was Ning Qi's father who explained the situation to Ning Qi's family, and planned to bring this girl into the house, so that he couldn't beat another daughter, and the others also readily agreed. But when Ning Qi's father ran upstairs and knocked on the door and no one responded, and he couldn't see the figure when he ran to the community flower garden, and was about to see him tomorrow, Ning Qi frowned slightly, and kicked her door open, and in a small corner of the kitchen, there was a familiar figure there, who had long lost his breath.
The first person to die in this community, who committed suicide as death, seems to have detached.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and it seemed to be in pain, but the corners of her mouth were calm, as if she had seen someone she should have seen after waking up from a dream in the morning, she had just had a dream, and she just woke up from the dream.
.....
In the following two days, a simple but long, heated discussion arose in the neighborhood committee, but it always seemed that the point was missed, and everyone seemed to have forgotten it, but whether it was forgotten or not, this is the truth.
So one evening two days later, someone finally started to visit the house one by one, because there was nothing to eat.
If you don't eat, you're hungry.
Everyone has a tacit understanding to close the door and ignore it, this is the unspoken rule established in the past few days, arrange their own food, or find it by themselves, anyway, take care of their own affairs.
At the same time, a group of people, dressed in tatters, climbed over the gate of the community tonight, gasping for breath.
If Ning Qi is here, or even if he is not here, he has already found out....
This group of people held kitchen knives and sticks, although their bodies were not tall, they exuded a sense of arrogance, and they were obviously ordinary people who had been washed by the aura of heaven and earth, and had been promoted after fighting with the Zerg.
Most of them are in the late stage of Qi training, and there is a young man holding a long knife at the front, which is already perfect.
When they saw this paradise-like community, after experiencing the initial sluggishness and disbelief, their eyes suddenly turned into passionate greed, and the corners of their mouths grinned with a sneer.
