Chapter 224 Under the small tree by the rocky beach

Li Anrui woke up from the dream, she touched the corner of her eye, and found that there were still cold tear stains left there.

The scene she experienced more than two months ago kept appearing in her dreams during this time, and when she dreamed back at midnight, tears always unconsciously wet the pillow.

Li Anrui vividly remembers what happened to the family after their car and luggage were stolen that day, and they had nothing left, so they had to carefully hide from the zombies in the wetland park. That night, Li Tianbao, the father who went out to look for food, never came back, and the next day, the mother and daughter were surrounded by zombies by the river facing the street in the wetland park.

"Mom!" Li Anrui, who was pushed into the river, looked at his mother surrounded by zombies, and only heard her last voice.

"You're going to live, Anrui!"

The next moment the voice disappeared, Li Anrui was also pushed forward by the flowing river, she can swim, but she is not particularly proficient in water, and because she is a girl, she can't last long in terms of physical strength.

After floating more than 1,000 meters in the river, Li Anrui's lips were a little pale, and her hands and feet felt that they were gradually losing strength, she looked at a cement bridge across the river in the distance, gritted her teeth and swam there, and finally grabbed a broken tree root by the river near the bridge pier.

Li Anrui stubbornly wrapped her hand around the root of the tree, and part of her body was already lying on the bank of the river, her consciousness began to blur, and gradually it became pitch black in front of her.

In her coma, she seemed to hear some voices coming from around her, but they seemed to come from the distant void.

"Leader, there's a girl here."

"Wang Jinxi, let's see if the person is still alive."

"Alive."

"Let's take the car with us."

Li Anrui finally woke up, and she saw a young soldier with a round face sitting next to her.

"Yo, you're awake," the young soldier said with surprise on his face when he noticed that Li Anrui had woken up, "It's good to wake up, then I'll report back to the class if it's nothing." ”

"Who are you? Where am I? Li Anrui's voice was a little weak.

"My name is Wang Jinxi, and this is Jilong Mountain," Wang Jinxi said with a smile, "The temporary hospital is very safe here, don't worry." You've been in a coma for a day and a night, and if you're hungry, call the nurse here, I'm just going to take the time to come and see you, and now I have to go. ”

After taking her thoughts back from her memories, Li Anrui did not feel sleepy, and she had lived in Jilong Mountain for nearly three months, and she slowly adapted to life here.

At first, she was very lonely, except for the round-faced little warrior named Wang Jinxi who would come to see her from time to time, and some other people around her always had some purpose in mind.

According to Li Anrui's education and ability, here in Jilong Mountain, she should be assigned to work as a clerk in the military affairs or civil affairs system, but Fan Xiang, the head of the production department, asked her to go first, and after she passed, he still placed her on the front line of labor.

Li Anrui's job is to grow food around the Jilong Mountain Shelter with everyone, and then he needs to go fishing or pick some wild game such as mushrooms in between work.

There is a reason why Fan Xiang deliberately arranged this talented girl seedling who could have entered Yenching University in a hard labor position, because he fell in love with Li Anrui.

Fan Xiang's idea is very simple, that is, let this girl who has never done heavy work go directly to the hardest production line, and then use the power in her hand to take care of her, and then lure her into the water step by step, so that she finally willingly lie in her arms.

Li Anrui didn't know Fan Xiang's plans, after she came to Jilong Mountain, she gradually got used to life here, compared to her previous experience, a safe and stable shelter is undoubtedly a paradise.

Li Anrui is grateful for this, and he is also grateful to the soldiers who rescued him in the first place. From Wang Jinxi's mouth, she learned that the people who discovered herself and took her to the shelter were all from a team led by a squad leader named Chen Bo, and Wang Jinxi was also among them.

When he thought of Wang Jinxi, Li Anrui couldn't help but smile, unlike Chen Bo who was like a strict father, Wang Jinxi was more like a simple and simple big brother.

In the company of Wang Jinxi, Li Anrui's life has also recovered a lot, and in her opinion, there seems to be another relative in this world.

When he came to the window, Li Anrui looked at the sky outside and saw that the sky was already white, and knew that it would not be long before the sun would rise.

"Let's go catch fish in the river in the east today," Li Anrui thought for a while and began to boil water on the stove in the corner on the other side of the house, "It's best to catch a few more, except for the ones that need to be handed back, the more will be sent to Brother Wang Jinxi." ”

Li Anrui has always been grateful to Chen Bo for their life-saving grace, and the first thing she thinks of is to send them the surplus harvest she has left behind in her labor. The little girl would rather eat less herself, and hope to repay these benefactors who saved her.

The water boiled, and Li Anrui began to pour noodles into the pot. Life in the shelter is a bit hard, especially for people like her who are assigned to the front line of labor, but Li Anrui has no complaints, she is a very knowledgeable child, and she also knows how to be grateful and content.

Fan Xiang's hints made Li Anrui very uneasy several times, and sometimes some idle men came to the door to harass her, but after the leader of the shelter, Huang Xiongjun, carried out several rectification efforts, these people have reined in a lot, and Fan Xiang has also changed from the previous open to the dark.

After eating the noodles, Li Anrui changed into the work clothes he went out today, which is a set of plain coarse cloth clothes, which were often worn by local tea farmers to work, and are now worn by the workers assigned to the labor posts.

After washing, the sky was already bright, thinking of the amount of tasks that Fan Xiang kept increasing for her, Li Anrui couldn't help but sigh when he went out. She is not complaining about the heavy workload, but she is worried that more and more materials will be handed in, and the less she can save, she wants to repay those benefactors, especially those like Du Yaming who still have children at home.

It doesn't matter if you're tired, but if you want to gain more, Li Anrui has to go out a little earlier than others. She took the basket and walked towards the small river on the east side of the mountain of Lijilong, it is already November, the temperature is not as high as when she first came here, fortunately it belongs to the scenic spot, the vegetation is rich, and the climate is more pleasant than the urban area.

There was a hint of coolness in the air, and the mountain paths were filled with the scent of grass, and unlike the world outside, which was full of corpses and the smell of rancidity, it was more like a paradise.

Walking on the familiar mountain road, Li Anrui picked a wild flower on the side of the road and pinned it to his ear. Life in the mountains was something that this girl who grew up in the city once longed for, but she didn't expect that she would finally fulfill her original wish in this way.

The perimeter is basically a safe area, and for nearly three months, the neighborhood has been checked over and over again by the soldiers. Nowadays, most of the people who go out to search are the militia organized by the Ethnic Affairs Committee, while the regular troops led by Huang Xiongjun are more responsible for the internal security and overall security of the shelter.

In the familiar environment, Li Anrui is not worried about encountering zombies, she has been here many times, sometimes to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables, sometimes to collect some firewood. After getting off work yesterday, the task she received the next day in the production department was fishing, and the temperature in November had begun to cool, Li Anrui guessed that Fan Xiang might be making things difficult for her, but she was assigned to someone else's hands, and she had no choice, so she could only come and be safe.

When the cold water of the river reached her knees, Li Anrui still couldn't stop shivering, and the shoes and socks she took off were placed on the grass on the bank, and she went into the water barefoot and began to install some net cages on the riverside.

It is impossible to catch fish with both hands, and the speed is very slow when using a fishing rod, when Li Anrui had no idea before, Wang Jinxi taught her this method, and also helped her find these net cages.

"I didn't seem to see Brother Wang Jinxi yesterday," Li Anrui held the net cage in his hand, and suddenly thought in his heart, "I will go to his house at night after catching the fish, and send the fish over by the way." ”

Her hands and feet became very cold under the soaking of the river, which made Li Anrui a little uncomfortable, but she was a child who could endure hardships, and she was unwilling to bow her head to Fan Xiang and others who deliberately embarrassed her.

After installing the cage, Li Anrui returned to the shore and began to sit on the stone to dry the water on his feet, and by the way, let the cold hands and feet recover some temperature.

The birds in the forest woke up and began to chirp and jump nearby, and the sun finally came out, and the sun shone into the river, and began to move slowly towards the shore.

"Huh, anyone?" Li Anrui, who was emptying his brain, coldly noticed that there was a person lying in the water on a rocky beach in the distance.

Unable to put on his shoes, Li Anrui ran over barefoot.

When he was still three or four meters away from the figure, Li Anrui stopped again, "Could it be a zombie floating from the river?" ”

"Hey, hey~" Li Anrui shouted twice at the person lying on the rocky beach, and seeing that he didn't react, he denied his previous concerns.

It was a handsome young man, with a very slender figure, and his whole body had been pushed up the rocky beach by the current.

Li Anrui came to his side and squatted down, tested his snort with his hand, and found that his breath was a little weak. The man's right shoulder was a little swollen, and Li Anrui knew that there should be an injury there, but she didn't know what to do with it, so she didn't dare to touch his hand.

The young man also held a pair of daggers in his hands, and each dagger had a golden pattern on the handle, and Li Anrui looked at the pattern and found that the pattern on it appeared to be an eagle.
