In the early morning of that day, compared to the quiet streets where pedestrians were hurrying, a vegetable market not far away was already a noisy world.

Separated by an iron fence, it is as if there are two worlds inside and out.

Han Xiaoxiao still remembers that day, he had to eat fried chicken and cumin fried meat made by his mother. His mother agreed to his request, but only on the condition that he follow her to the market to sell fruits and vegetables, and to be responsible for carrying things.

Han Xiaoxiao finally got up from the bed and followed her mother to the vegetable market with sleepy eyes.

Even when he arrived at the vegetable market, listening to people shouting that radish was 5 yuan and three catties, and the live chicken was safe now, he still couldn't lift his spirits. The night before, he had been playing almost half the night, playing games with this friend, and had forgotten that he had to get up early the next morning.

"How do you sell this?" Mother asked, looking at the row of fresh potatoes.

"Ten dollars and five catties, hurry up. These are all goods that have just been brought in. The other party replied.

"Cheaper, six pounds." Mother touched the potato and looked at it carefully.

"Okay, okay, you hurry, grab the pile, don't pick. I'm all good. The other party said hurriedly, and from time to time he turned his head to look not far away.

For the stall owner's absent-mindedness, Han Xiaoxiao and her mother did not notice all this.

Han Xiaoxiao just wanted to stand where she was and take a nap while her mother was free to pick vegetables, while her mother was glad that she had picked up a bargain as soon as she came.

"What's going on in front" Taking advantage of his mother's gap in picking vegetables, the stall owner asked the stall owner who sold green peppers next to him.

"Who knows, the old lady didn't say that she was being insulted. Just those seventy or eighty-year-old people, still shouting indecent deeds? Who believes? The stall owner who sold chili peppers said with some disdain.

"Alas, the old lady was indeed bitten by that young man, and as soon as she came up, she directly knocked down the old lady." The woman selling vegetables and tomatoes on the other side said, "It's strange that there is everything these days." ”

"Ahhh......hh

In the far corner of the market, there was a miserable scream again, and the miserable sound almost pierced people's eardrums, and the people in the real vegetable market trembled. Some of them had trouble with their hands and feet, and one did not hold it steadily, and dropped the vegetables and fruits in their hands.

"What's the sound?" The stall owner who bought the potatoes hurriedly looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. He felt panicked in his heart since the early hours of the morning when he was wholesaling vegetables, and this panic for no reason has continued until now, and it is getting stronger and stronger. Listening to the scream, some people said that the old lady was about to open her mouth to blackmail money, but he didn't think so.

There are indeed one or two old people in the market who love to touch porcelain and ask for a small bargain of more than a dozen yuan, but there is no old man who loves to touch porcelain with such a large lung capacity, and he is simply going to shout out his old life.

"Ahhh......h

The potato stall owner wears a small white hat, a small vest of various colors, and inside is a neat and neat black long sleeve. The anxiety on his face infected his mother, who was concentrating on picking vegetables next to him.

Han's mother looked at the anxious appearance of the potato stall owner, and thought that the ten yuan and six catties she had just begged for was a bargain that the stall owner was planning to regret it. She immediately picked up a large bag of potatoes, filled it, and handed it to the other party, "Hurry up, weigh it." ”

"Ten pounds and three taels." The potato stall owner casually glanced at the scale next to him and quoted a price. "Count you in twenty."

"I just said it, ten yuan and six catties. I'll add two more. Mother Han quickly took two big potatoes neatly and put them over. I just saw that the scale changed the number again, and it reached the position of thirteen catties.

"Twenty, give it to you, and the rest will be pulled!" Han's mother tried to save another pound of cheapness.

The potato stall owner waved his hand, took twenty and threw it into the cardboard box, and looked into the distance.

After jumping on the spot several times, instead of seeing what was going on there, it was the place where the screams came, and more and more people watched, and in a hurry, the potato stall owner simply pulled out one of his boxes and stood up himself.

……

Han's mother stuffed thirteen catties of potatoes into Han Xiaoxiao's arms and continued to browse the vegetable market. Although she was also curious about the gathering place, now that she had taken advantage of it, she wanted to buy more food while everyone had not come back to their senses.

After buying another two catties of beef, she looked at the dishes in her hand, and almost all the dishes in her hand were bought, so she sent the chicken steak that her son wanted to eat, and walked towards the location of the chicken chop, which happened to be the place where the crowd gathered.

"Not done yet?" Looking at the crowd gathering more and more, Han's mother was a little anxious, she didn't know what was going on inside, but she always felt that so many people were gathered together, what if she got into a fight and hurt her son?

However, if you want to buy a chicken steak for your son, you can only go forward. She looked at the people surrounded in front of her, turned her head to her son and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are waiting for your mother here!" ”

"Oh." Han Xiaoxiao held a bunch of vegetables and stood in place dozing. He didn't want to go inside either.

Han's mother glanced at her son again, and then walked inside. "Borrow, let Jean" just squeeze into it step by step, interspersed with people's gaps, and finally walked to the center of the crowd of onlookers.

She glanced casually at the old lady sitting on the ground, an old man with gray hair, covering his bleeding neck with one hand, and tugging at the man's hair with the other.

The perpetrator was pressed to the ground by the old lady, her fierce eyes were dark and scary, and her mouth was wide open, wanting to bite.

This...... I don't think I have rabies, right? Mother Han glanced at the middle-aged man on the ground and muttered a few words in her heart.

She stepped over the two, squeezed through the onlookers on the other side, and walked to the shop selling live chickens on the opposite side and hastily asked for two catties of chicken.

When Han's mother crossed the crowd again, she glanced over and saw that the old lady's eyes became cloudy, and soon quickly turned black, her expression instantly seemed like a thoughtless living thing, and she pounced towards the person next to Han's mother, and with a bite, she bit the other party's face and tore off a piece of her face.

Blood and screams instantly rang out in the crowd.

The two biting people were like wolves entering a flock of sheep among the onlookers, and they went crazy.

This...... It's horrible!

Han's mother saw the scene in front of her, and used her fastest speed to rush away from the crowd and run towards her son.

The crowd has not dispersed, the screams are gradually expanding, and the stunned Han Xiaoxiao is still dozing off with the green vegetables and radishes and potatoes in her arms.

"Let's go!" Han's mother just grabbed her son, and without saying a word, she pulled him and rushed outside, not even caring to pick up the greens that fell on the ground.

……

After that day, Han's mother took this Han Xiaoxiao back to the house, and she quickly took out the money with her bank card, bought a lot of food nearby, and hoarded it.

She didn't know if the plague would break out, but the two people she saw were terrible. She even worried about whether she would get infected and pass it on to her son.

Every day, she was frightened, but every day, the flame in this woman's heart became brighter and brighter. She is not a very smart woman, nor is she a woman with life skills, the trials and hardships of life have made her suffer too much, and she is even about to accept her fate. Everything will eventually be ordinary, and she can only accept that she is an incompetent woman. But this sudden disaster made her forget all this in an instant, and what fate once pressed on her head, she was like a goldfish with a seven-second memory, and she forgot it in an instant.

The instinct of survival, the instinct of a mother, made her have only one belief, to take the child to survive well.

Stocking up on food and paying attention to the news, fortunately, the relevant reports in the news let her know that she was not infected, but she was also more miserable. The contagion looked worse than she had imagined.

The invisible is always easy to be filled with fear, and the multiplication of crowds of people is even more breathless.

Since that day, she has one more habit, opening the curtain and observing the situation outside the window. Many of the people who went out one by one had already been bitten and turned into infectious disease patients before they left the courtyard of the community.

This also dispelled the idea of her breaking out with her son. She knows that she has so many skills, she can't take a taxi or drive, and she may not be able to get out of this yard.

"What should I do?" She asks herself this question every day. Han Xiaoxiao watched his mother look haggard day by day, and the curtain in his world seemed to suddenly open, allowing him to see his own world and his own position clearly.

It turns out that I am like a child who has not grown up all day long, playing games, shouting and killing in the game world, and doing whatever I want, which is really unreal.

What is the truth, the truth is that he suddenly understood that he was too incompetent and had no ability to protect his mother, and even, the two of them were just small screws in this society, and he might not even be a fitting.

Before he could think of a way to find a way to leave safely, the bully neighbor who pried open the door of their house had already come to the door.

They wanted to take not only food, but also his and his mother's lives.

In this battle, not only did no one get any benefits, but even attracted a large number of zombies.

Mother......

Han Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back her tears, he still remembered the scene where his mother and those people fought together to kill the zombies, it was the first time he used the knife, but that time, he never cut down the zombies. All he saw in his eyes were people.

It turns out that fighting and killing in the real world is emotional, and fear will make him unable to do it.

After that, several people cleaned up all the zombies in the building, and most of their food quickly ran out.

Having failed to take up arms, he almost gave up on himself.

He realized how incompetent he was.

But he couldn't change anything. This is not his game world, he is not invincible, no one can resurrect him, there are no weapons for him to use.

Vices always come first, and he decadently picked up a cigarette and walked to the rooftop to relax.

And that time became a farewell between him and his mother.

Han Xiaoxiao still remembers his mother's last words before leaving, "Live well." ”

The sky was snowing, and the cold snow hit his face like tears.

He stretched out his hand and wiped off the snowflakes in the corner of his eyes, looked at the clouds in the sky, rubbed his arms, looked up at the sky with a smile, and said silently: "For you, live well." ”
