86_86324 The man waved his hands as he walked, trying to draw our attention to him. Uncle Wang slowed down and slowly drove towards him. When he was still four or five meters away, Uncle Wang stopped the car.

"Put the gun in the car, don't take it out." Uncle Wang said, then opened the door and walked out.

Duan Ke and I also followed Uncle Wang and walked towards the man. Seeing that the car stopped, the man did not move another step, but watched us get out of the car on the spot. Walking up to the car, I took a closer look at him. The man looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and he looked like a gentleman. He had a big backpack on his back, the kind of backpackers carry when they go on trips. His clothes and pants were in tatters, and his travel shoes were so mud-stained that he couldn't tell what they were, and he looked worse than when I used to walk on the highway.

From the childish face, it can be seen that this guy should have been a student before, and he shouldn't be a bad person.

"Living?" He pointed to the three of us and asked us in surprise.

The three of us were silent, just nodding at him.

The man clapped his palms, jumped up with joy, and then said as if to himself, "I know!" There must be others alive in the world! ”

I can totally understand his mood right now, but I don't know what to say to him. After being silent for a long time, Uncle Wang asked him, "Are you alone?" ”

"Yes, I was alone until I met you." The lad replied.

"You're carrying such a big bag, where are you going?" I chime in.

"Tibet," the guy said with a smile, "what about you?" ”

"Zhejiang." I said, this kid actually wants to go to Tibet on foot.

"Zhejiang?" He asked.

"Hmm." Uncle Wang replied.

The young man looked down for a moment, then looked up at the three of us and said, "Can I go with you?" ”

I glanced at Uncle Wang to see what he had to say. Uncle Wang nodded to me and walked back to the car.

"Okay, let's get in the car." I smiled at him.

The young man sat in the passenger seat, and as soon as the car started, he began to talk non-stop, probably because he had held it for too long.

"My name is Zhou Zhihong, what about you?" He smiled and began to introduce himself.

Uncle Wang ignored him, so I had to stand up and play the role of a messenger, I said to him: "My name is Lou Li, and the one sitting next to me is Duan Ke, the one who drives, you just call him Uncle Wang." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Ke pursed his lips and pinched my thigh, and I realized that what he said just now was a little incomplete.

"Sitting next to me is my girlfriend Duan Ke." I reluctantly added.

Duan Ke's actions and I were seen by Zhou Zhihong, and he immediately stopped snickering.

"Little brother, what grade are you in?" Duan Ke asked him with a smile.

"Uh," Zhou Zhihong paused, "I'm a junior in high school this year. ”

"However, the college entrance examination has not yet come, and the people around me have died." He added with a smile, "So there are no more annoying exams." ”

"Then aren't you lucky, you even avoided the college entrance examination." I said, I remembered when I was in my senior year of high school.

"Yes," he said in a different tone, pushing his glasses, "but if I can bring my family and friends back to life, I'd rather take the college entrance exam, they are all waiting for me to take the exam." ”

The car suddenly fell silent, and all four of them had a past that they didn't want to mention, which was obviously the most taboo topic at the moment.

"Where you set out, I mean, where you live, are there a lot of people?" After a while, Zhou Zhihong asked again.

"There are many dead people." I didn't shy away from replying.

He sighed and said, "It looks the same everywhere." ”

"Where are you from?" Uncle Wang, who was silent, suddenly asked.

"Hubei." Zhou Zhihong said.

"Then you walked from this road, did you see the traffic jam ahead?" Uncle Wang asked again.

"When I went out of the northern border of Hubei, I seemed to see some cement piers on the road, but they were all moved to the side of the road. I didn't see the traffic jam, there were very few cars on the road. My home is on the border of Hubei, and I don't know the situation further afield. ”

Uncle Wang nodded, and he understood the road condition information.

"Didn't you say you were going to Tibet, why did you suddenly change your mind and go to Zhejiang with us?" I asked.

"I'm bored on the road," Zhou Zhihong said, "I don't know if you can understand my feelings, after walking for more than ten days, I can't see a living person, not even a person to speak, and when I walk to a place where there is a house, there are dead people, and I'm going crazy." ”

Of course I can relate to you, I said to myself.

"I originally thought that I would go to Tibet after the college entrance examination, no, even the equipment was bought in advance." Saying that, Zhou Zhihong patted the backpack he was holding in front of him, "But how could I have thought that this kind of thing would happen, everyone is dead, I have nothing to do anyway, so I am ready to go to Tibet to see if I can go to Lhasa before June 7th." ”

It seems that he is a young man full of dreams, I think.

"But today I met you, and I decided to abandon my plans and no longer experience the lonely and crazy walking. My current thinking is that as long as I have company on the road, I can go anywhere. ”

Even if a young man is literary and artistic, no matter how ambitious he is, he will feel uncomfortable if he can't find anyone to talk about his thoughts.

The pickup truck drove over a small stone bridge, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.

"What did you do before?" Zhou Zhihong turned his head and asked me and Duan Ke with a smile.

"College students." I replied.

"College students?" He said excitedly, "I'm sure I won't be able to go to college, tell me what it's like in college." ”

After speaking, Zhou Zhihong moved his body again and turned his head back a little further. It may be that he turned too much, and as soon as he finished asking, he glanced at the gun in the back seat, and the smile on his face immediately froze. What would he think when he saw a few ordinary people with guns?

"These were picked up on the road." I pointed at the gun and said nonchalantly.

Zhou Zhihong nodded and turned back with a frozen smile.

I don't know if this young man will think about it, but I didn't bother to explain it to him, so I answered his question and said: "In college, it's actually not much different from high school, but there are fewer classes, and I can arrange more time, and the head teacher, no, I call the counselor in college, and I won't ask you for homework all day long." ”

Zhou Zhihong answered me and stopped talking. The kid really thought about it, so let him figure out the origin of these guns himself.

But on second thought, it's not good to let him think about himself, what if he thinks we've kidnapped him? Let's explain it. In order to convince him of my identity, I took out my student ID card and showed it to him, and then said, "Look, this is the student ID card of the university, not only can you get a discount on taking the train home, but you can also travel to the scenic spot at half price." ”

After listening to my words, Uncle Wang shook his head and smiled, not knowing what he was laughing at.

Zhou Zhihong looked at the photo on his student ID, and then looked at me again, probably believing my identity.

This student ID card really worked, and ten minutes later, Zhou Zhihong spoke again: "It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon, have you eaten?" ”

Duan Ke and I shook our heads.

"That's good, I have a lot of food in this bag." After saying that, he patted his backpack again.

Ever since the car drove out of that town, the road surface has started to get worse and worse. It must have been raining in this area for a while, and the road was muddy. The pickup truck went up to a winding mountain road and then stopped near the top of the hill to settle for lunch.

"Little brother, what's in your bag?" Duan Ke asked Zhou Zhihong.

"It's nothing, it's all taken in the supermarket." He replied.

Zhou Zhihong unzipped the backpack, and I saw that it was stuffed with all kinds of food. If he didn't share it, it would be enough for him to eat alone for a long time. However, it was full of bags of food, and I didn't seem to have much appetite, so I asked him for a pack of cookies and walked out of the car in the rain.

The rain outside wasn't that heavy, and the drops felt just right. However, the national highway under your feet is uncomfortable, and the rain is wet and attached to a layer of gray mud on the road. I walked to the side of the road, put one foot on the metal guardrail, and looked down the hill. The bottom of the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, and the foothills were no longer visible, only the patches of trees on the slopes were dotted in the mist. In the distance, you can see a highway bridge under construction, and the piers of the road and bridge step on the ridge of the two mountains, supporting the cement pavement above, connecting the two places.

Zhou Zhihong also opened the car door and walked out and stood next to me.

"I remember, I was standing here the day before yesterday, and I didn't expect it would only take more than an hour to come back." He looked at Yamashita and said.

"How can legs compare to wheels?" I smiled and said that anyone who has traveled a long way will feel this way after taking the car again.

After chewing the pack of dried biscuits, Zhou Zhihong and I returned to the car. I handed Zhou Zhihong a cigarette, but he thanked him and refused, so I had to give it to Uncle Wang. Duan Ke pursed his mouth at the right time and gave me a look, and I had to ask Uncle Wang to get out of the car and smoke. Uncle Wang understood my difficulties and got out of the car with a smile.

Uncle Wang and I walked to the corner of the national highway to prepare for convenience.

"What do you think of him?" I unchained my pants and asked him.

Uncle Wang lit a cigarette and said, "It's not bad, it's just a bit too much." ”

"I think he's pretty good, he's gone that far."

"Didn't you walk on the highway for a week, too?"

"It's much better on the highway than here, it's in the wilderness."

After smoking, we went back to the car. Uncle Wang played a rhythmic electronic music again and started the car.

"Uncle, I can't see that you're still quite trendy." Zhou Zhihong said.

Uncle Wang concentrated on driving the car and ignored him.

Duan leaned my shoulders and closed my eyes, the potholes made the car shake all the way, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep. When I woke up, I found that we were in a city
