Chapter 2 Beginnings 2
Beginning 2
The cold and biting wind of winter blew violently through the dilapidated bungalows, and the sound of broken doors and windows was constantly heard, and the old man with a long beard trembled and walked into a windowless hut with two bowls of gruel. The only thing left of the dark hut was a simple wooden bed, a table with broken corners, and a chair with no backrest. The old man put the two bowls of gruel on the table, lit the candles, and walked to the bed, and looked carefully at the bed with his blurred eyes, where a white girl with a dirty face was lying in the quilt where the cotton wool had leaked. The girl's eyes were closed, her breathing was a little weak, her brown hair was mixed with sand, and the old man reached out and patted the girl's shoulder gently, but he couldn't wake up, and poked her shoulder hard. At this time, there were several footsteps outside the hut, and a middle-aged woman pushed the door and walked in.
"Oh my God, look what this stupid old man has done?!" said the middle-aged woman, looking at the girl lying on the bed, and pointed at the old man angrily.
"Hey, hey, you're finally here! I'm really out of trouble here! Hurry up, hurry up, you feed the gruel!" the old man quickly stood up, met him, and made a gesture of please.
"Hmph! At this time, you still want to save others? You should save yourself! You're starving to death!" said the middle-aged woman as she picked up the gruel and walked to the bedside, "Go away! No wonder! It's a beautiful young girl who is being saved!"
"Old Na, don't cross me, hurry up and save people!" said the old man who took out a bottle of wine from under the table and poured it up. "My name is Natasha!
"It's been decades, where can it be changed!"
"Now the alliance is calling on everyone to learn Mandarin from the Chinese, saying that it is convenient to communicate, so that the alliance can unite and resist those monsters! You Chinese people don't speak Mandarin yourself, I have to learn it too!" Natasha sat down on the chair next to the bed, helped the girl up and made her half-sit and began to feed her porridge.
"The people of the alliance are all big liars, don't listen to them, they said decades ago that they could fight those devils together, but now? Now that we have signed a cease-fire agreement and ceded the whole world to the devil, what about us? We live in this cold and snowy place! Hmph! We are all liars!" the old man said angrily after taking another sip of wine.
"Liang! seriously, do you think the alliance can still fight those monsters?" Natasha fed the girl porridge, and the more she talked, the more sad she became, "I heard that the leader of that camp is a big monster called the master, and it is twenty or thirty meters tall, which is terrifying!
"Hmph, where did you get all these crazy words, you!" The old man smiled, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he took another sip of wine!
"The women at the corner of the street are hungry and can spread a lot of gossip! And they say nasty things to me in a Beijing accent! Hey, by the way, they also say that the man who called the master will rebuild a city for a woman that is exactly the same as it was a hundred years ago! Ah, that's what you call a city with a Beijing accent, called... A demon can be so good to a woman... Natasha carefully fed the girl the porridge and kept talking. The old man stood in the doorway, his body trembling, his eyes cloudy to the sky.
"Drink the porridge, stop drinking, you'll get drunk!" Natasha had already poured a bowl of porridge into the girl's mouth, helped her to lie down, and took another bowl of porridge and handed it to the old man. The old man looked at the porridge and then at the woman, and said with a smile, "You have drunk!
The woman sighed and said to him with some disgust: "You will starve to death like this, even if you don't starve, you will die of drinking!" The old man laughed again: "This vodka is strong, where can I catch up with the second pot head of Huaxia! After living for decades, I should have starved to death a long time ago!"
"Hmmm... Well... The white girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes, made a few **, saw Natasha and the old man, rolled her eyes, propped up the bed and sat up. "Girl, you are faint from hunger, but fortunately this old man rescued you!" Natasha looked at the old man, "What can't be saved, it's just a piggyback!" the old man smiled embarrassedly. ”
"Thank you!" the girl nodded at the old man, "I really haven't eaten for a few days! I may have fainted, but I remember that I was cold and hungry." ”
"Girl, there is still porridge here, drink it quickly!" Natasha handed her the porridge she was holding, and the girl took the porridge and gulped it down in a few sips.
"Slow down, slow down, this girl is hungry, hey, old man, she can speak Huaxia too!" Natasha looked at the girl's eating like a mother. "What's your name?"
"My name is Ruo Ruo'an, and I grew up with my parents in Huaxia since I was a child, so... The girl stopped as she spoke, and her eyes were full of tears. "My parents ... ”
"What's wrong with them?" asked the old man with concern, taking a step forward.
"They were killed by mutants, woo woo woo~" Ruo Anzhi finally couldn't help crying in a low voice.
"These bastards! they were killed? they weren't mutated? those bastards will mutate them when they catch someone, but your parents didn't?" Natasha asked suspiciously, Ruo Ruoan shook her head, "My parents are biologists, in the last alliance battle in Northeast China, the Juggernaut Legion occupied there, and asked my parents to do things for them, but my parents refused, and they swore to refuse to mutate and... Saying that, Ruo Ruoan lowered her head and cried sadly. "I escaped by hiding in a food truck by them, and I've been wandering around for months... ”
"Ah, poor girl!" said Natasha and the old man, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
"What is your name, and I will repay you for saving your life!" said the girl, sobbing.
"It's okay, you don't need to repay it, as long as you can live!, it's nothing good to be alive!" said the old man, turning and walking to the door, and began to look at the sky again in a daze.
"His name is Liangsheng, a strange old man, ignore him! ”
"So you're his wife?"
"Of course not, how could I marry such a strange old man... ”
The cold wind was still blowing violently, and the old man's long silver-white beard was swaying from side to side by the wind, just like his mood.
"Lao Na, I'm leaving!" the wind blew even more unscrupulously on the cold winter night. In the room next to the hut, the old man sat on a chair and said to Natasha with a serious expression. This room was obviously much cleaner and neater than his broken house, and there was a charcoal stove and a set of cooking guys more than his broken house. Natasha was stir-frying wild vegetables dug up from the field when she heard Ryosheng's words, and paused, "Where are you going?"
Liangsheng sat in the middle of the room, exhaled deeply, covered his face with his hands and lowered his head, "I'm going to the south, find someone!"
"Find someone?your wife?did you tell me you've never been married in your life?!" Natasha stopped stir-frying the spoon and turned her head to look at him.
"Yes! I've never been married in my life! But I'm going to find someone, I've been looking for someone all my life!" Liangsheng just lowered his head and hid his face with his hands, but his words were full of pain.
"Will you take me there?" asked Natasha, a little anxious.
"No, it's too dangerous! You can live with that girl, everyone is a family without relatives!" Natasha's eyes widened and she threw the spoon hard into the pot. "Well, do you know how old you are? You're seventy years old, yes, you don't look like it, but you said you're seventy years old and you need someone to take care of you, you said you want to live your last life here. But you've only been here for a month, and you're leaving? We've known each other for 10 years, and you're leaving me? Yes, yes! You haven't touched me for 10 years, but I've been with you for 10 years, and I'm only in my thirties at the time! You said you're leaving me?"
"But the south side is too dangerous, I still have to find someone, you will die on the way!" Liangsheng raised his head, his eyes showed a look of earnest and begging for forgiveness, "I'm sorry! I can't take you there!" he got up and walked back to his hut, and after walking for a few minutes, he took Ruo An to the room again, and said to Natasha, who was bowing her head and sobbing, "Let her sleep with you tonight! Don't cry! Why do women always use crying to solve problems?! It's too dangerous, I saved you from the war ten years ago, and now I don't want you to follow me to your death!"
"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that you will leave me!I'm willing to die on the road, I'm more willing to die with you!" Natasha wiped away her tears, stood up, and looked at Liangsheng with a determined expression.
Between the two eyes, Liangsheng saw the deep affection that could not be refused in her eyes, how to refuse a woman who was willing to live and die with him again, he was rejected by others once, but he couldn't refuse the woman in front of him now. He lowered his head and gritted the roots of his teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Okay! Promise me, no matter what danger you encounter, you don't have to worry about me, as long as you live!" Natasha was moved to tears by Ryosheng's words, rushed to him, and gave Ryosheng a hug vigorously.
"But, Grandpa Liang, where are you going? Can you take me with you?" asked Ruo Ruo'an, confused, with big blue eyes.
