Chapter Twenty-Three: Surprise
Eat leftover pancakes for breakfast, drink leftover white rice porridge, and leftover roe deer meat from last night.
Although it was leftovers, this early morning was a nice and enjoyable start to the day.
Luo Xingyu stayed at home and was busy, and Gao Yuanhe walked briskly towards the village towards the country.
It is unlikely that the zombies will touch here, and there will be no danger for Luo Xingyu to stay, and Luo Xingyu has thin arms and legs, and he can't move much at all, so in today's moving operation, Luo Xingyu will not participate.
"Xiaoyuan, you are a good person!"
Gao Yuan turned his head and glanced at Wei Guo a little depressedly, and said, "Scold me or praise me?" ”
Xiang Weiguo was very puzzled and said: "I wonder, what's wrong with this young man now, why does a good person become a curse?" ”
Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "Good people suffer, in this era when everyone is an egoist, but bad people become scolding." ”
Xiang Weiguo shook his head and said: "That's not right, no matter when, a good person should never be a curse, if anyone understands it like this, it must be something wrong with his brain." ”
"What if society as a whole thinks so?"
"That's something wrong with this society!"
Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "Your mind is too old, I won't tell you this." ”
Xiang Weiguo said very seriously: "You are a righteous gentleman, this is not sarcastic about you, lonely men and widows can still do your job together, I believe that there are really few people, so you are a good person." ”
"That's what you're talking about."
"Otherwise, what else can I say, until today I am sure that I can really see you clearly, some things can not be wrong, but if you don't do it, you are a good person!"
Gao Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Too familiar, too close, it's not easy to start." ”
"What?"
"I'm just too familiar with her, it's hard to start, don't you understand?"
"I can't understand it anymore, we must have started from acquaintances when we were looking for a daughter-in-law."
Gao Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's too kissing, do you know, when I picked her up, I saved her, but she also saved me, do you understand?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Gao Yuan sighed and said: "I was only one person at the time, I don't know what has become of the outside, I want to commit suicide countless times or simply go to the outside world to see, even if I meet a zombie and die, as long as I think that I may only live here in the future, it is better to die if I am alone, so when I see her, you can't imagine how happy I am at all, I can't wait to give her everything, just because I know that she is going to die and I am absolutely dead." ”
"People are group animals, the soldiers I teach are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, they are afraid of confinement, no matter how prickly the recruits are, as for the veterans, they are even more afraid of confinement, they are not afraid of death, they are afraid of confinement."
Gao Yuan said in a low voice: "Special forces are the hardest, right, they are not afraid of death, can they be afraid of confinement?" ”
Xiang Weiguo thought for a moment, then he shook his head and said: "No, you have to understand one thing, special forces are very bitter, but by no means the most bitter. ”
"What's more bitter?"
Xiang Weiguo was silent for a moment, and said: "You listen to me, one year, I went to the plateau to investigate and find a suitable plateau training site, a local officer accompanied me to live in a military station, where it can snow all year round, I went to coincide with a heavy snow to close the mountain, so I could only live in the military station for a few more days, and met two border guards who had just come down from the outpost, these two soldiers, who saw them, annoyed them, but everyone had to talk to them, let the two of them eat when they wanted, sleep when they wanted, even if they pulled the sentry to talk, It's not a violation of discipline either. ”
"Why?"
Xiang Weiguo said with a serious face: "Because the two of them have just withdrawn from the outpost, and the outpost was sealed by heavy snow in winter, and they can't get in and out for seven months, only the two of them spend seven months together, and they can't even leave the outpost a hundred meters away." ”
"This is living in prison!"
"Prison inmates can still let their wind go!"
Xiang Weiguo sighed and said: "At that time, the conditions were different from now, eating canned food and compressed biscuits, pickles were considered to improve life, seven months, just two people, and when they got off the outpost, their nails were turned over, like a bowl." ”
He shook his head with emotion, and said to Wei Guo to Gao Yuan: "Are the special forces tired?" Tired. Bitter is not bitter, very bitter. Is it dangerous? It's dangerous, but it's really nothing compared to those border guards who stick to the outpost, and the soldiers who can hold out in a post for seven months are all heroes, as long as they don't go crazy, they're heroes! ”
Gao Yuan nodded and said, "I didn't understand it too much before, but now, I can really understand that loneliness can make people crazy." ”
Xiang Weiguo smiled: "Those two soldiers talk when they see people, hold hands and don't let people go, they just talk nonsense over and over again, and they do this for several days, why?" They hadn't seen outsiders for too long, and they were all new to everyone, and to put it mildly, they could talk for hours with a dog, as long as they didn't let the two of them continue to talk, and then I accompanied them for two days, and said over and over again, to what extent, I even knew that one of the soldiers was sixteen years old and still urinated. ”
Gao Yuan only nodded, looked at him to Wei Guo and said: "So when you said that when you saw Xiaoyu, it felt that it was not you who saved her but she saved you, I believe and understand this, very understanding." ”
While speaking, he could already see the village, Gao Yuan couldn't help but pick up the walkie-talkie and said, "Xiaoyu, how are you there?" ”
Luo Xingyu's voice quickly came out of the walkie-talkie.
"Brother, it's been less than an hour since you left, this is the third time you've asked me, I'm fine, it's okay, I'll tell you something, don't worry."
Gao Yuan was a little embarrassed, and smiled at Wei Guo: "This is starting to worry?" ”
"Well, the first time I let Xiaoyu be home alone, I'm still a little worried."
"Then you won't let her follow."
"Hey, she can't hold much either, how tiring she is to run back and forth."
Xiang Weiguo shook his head and said, "If you're really worried about her, you might as well call her." ”
They didn't take anything, and they took the nearest route, and it took two hours from the small mountain village where they lived to the village where they were moving, so it took five hours to go back and forth at the earliest.
In other words, Gao Yuan must not see Luo Xingyu for at least five hours.
For more than a month, Gao Yuan has been separated from Luo Xingyu for the rest of the time, except for going to the toilet for the rest of the time, so he is still a little worried about being separated from Luo Xingyu for such a long time for the first time, and he is still separated from each other for such a long distance.
"Well, I have to come again in the afternoon, if not, let her come with me in the afternoon, I see that Xiaoyu is happy when she is looking for food."
Gao Yuan finally compromised, separating from Luo Xingyu made him feel insecure, and he couldn't tell whether he was worried about himself or Luo Xingyu.
It's time to get to the village, although several houses have been searched yesterday, but still be vigilant, the two of them stopped talking, kept quiet and tiptoed close to the village.
Bypassing the house that had been searched, the two came to the door of a house that looked very new, the common big iron door in the countryside was closed, Gao Yuan held an axe in his hand, Xiang Weiguo held a wooden stick in one hand, and gently pushed the door with the other.
The iron door was locked, and he made a gesture to Wei Guo, and then he knocked lightly on the iron door, and then heard a crackling sound coming from inside.
The two of them changed color together, and then made a gesture to Wei Guo, motioning for Gao Yuan to leave here with him.
There are zombies in this house, but because the iron door is locked, and the courtyard wall is very high, so the zombies inside can't come out, this is not the first time I have encountered this situation, there was a house yesterday that was like this.
There's no need to risk fighting zombies at all, if you don't go in, you won't go in, it's no big deal.
But all the zombies who can go out have been solved, and it doesn't matter if you don't enter the house with zombies, it's just that wandering in the village where there are still zombies is much more dangerous after all, and Gao Yuan refuses to let Luo Xingyu follow, which is also one of the important reasons.
Another private house, the door was open, the two glanced at each other, and Xiang Weiguo immediately walked in.
Xiang Weiguo stood at the door, Gao Yuan followed and looked inside, but saw that the courtyard was littered with human skeletons.
sighed softly, and whispered to Wei Guo: "This is the family that suffered, the family locked the door first, but the family is sick, and they want to be chased by zombies when they open the door and leave, well, it should be safe inside, go in and have a look." ”
Xiang Weiguo can always make basic inferences about what happened in a place at that time based on some clues, and he said that there will be no danger in a safe place, at least Dao has never missed so far, so Gao Yuan will never have any doubts about Xiang Weiguo's judgment.
The two walked inward, and at this moment, Gao Yuan's walkie-talkie suddenly rang, but it was very short, only the kind of whirring sound when the walkie-talkie was turned on when the other party called.
But the walkie-talkie was only turned on for a short time, and the call of the other party ended in less than a second.
The two stopped at the same time, and Gao Yuan quickly pressed the launch button and said, "Xiaoyu!" Reply! ”
There was no sound, no reply, Gao Yuan and Xiang Weiguo's faces changed greatly.
"Not good!"
Xiang Weiguo just blurted out that it was not good, and the walkie-talkie was turned on again, and then he heard Luo Xingyu scream: "Brother! ”
The call was interrupted again, Gao Yuan and Xiang Weiguo ran together, Gao Yuan raised the walkie-talkie to call, but Xiang Weiguo said urgently: "Don't call!" ”
Gao Yuan forcibly pressed his urge to call, he felt that he had waited for a long time, and less than ten seconds had actually passed.
Xiang Weiguo finally said urgently: "Now you do what I say, you call, but don't say too much, just say one word, just say Xiaoyu, how are you, call now!" ”
Gao Yuan pressed the launch button and said urgently: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you!" ”
No response, no response at all.
