Chapter Seventy-Six: Flowers
Xu Xuening has always felt that in order to survive, she can do whatever it takes. She believed so, and she did.
However, when she took Xie Yan and Wei Zizhou and them on the road to leave Lincheng that day, she realized that that day was her new life.
Because many places on the road have been blocked or artificially damaged, they also stop and go along the way.
"I really want a tank to drive through now, so that I can get through it! Hahaha! Han Xiaoxiao put her hands on her cheeks and looked at the scenery outside the window, while thinking.
"Hmph, it's still a tank! I think it's more appropriate for you to ride a king! Yu Fei looked at Han Xiaoxiao's appearance and joked unceremoniously.
"Bah, what a king, I think you're the one who rides a crab!" Han Xiaoxiao unceremoniously walked back towards Yu Fei.
The two of them were so noisy on the road that they hardly stopped for a moment.
Compared with the two of them, several people behind Xie Yan had already formed a pair of threes and twos and began to draw Wang Ba and play mahjong.
"The quintessence of the country, it is estimated that it will not be forgotten there. Speaking of, when did mahjong become popular? Chen Sheng looked at the people next to him with emotion, if it weren't for the mini mahjong provided by Xie Yan, they might have to listen to Yu Fei and Han Xiaoxiao continue to quarrel along the way.
Who wants to listen to these two elementary school students quarrel, and they are not two or three-year-olds.
"Ming Dynasty." Wei Zizhou looked at the mahjong played by the people behind him, and looked at Chen Sheng in surprise, "Didn't you like to play this the most before?" Why not play? ”
"If you don't win, it's so boring!" Chen Sheng shook his head, "I don't actually like to play, I'm envious." I always think that people who can play this must have good brains. ”
Wei Zizhou looked at Chen Sheng, even Xie Yan didn't know when he put down the book in his hand, looked at Chen Sheng and continued: "There are actually several people in our village who were admitted to university that year, but only one of them finished college in the end. In fact, if they had money, they should all graduate, but at that time, the people in the village were poor, and even the whole village might not be able to afford a child to go to college, let alone those three. ”
"And what's going on with those three people in your village?" Xu Xuening looked at him curiously.
Chen Sheng shook his head, "At that time, those people were unwilling, but the people in a village are all relatives. Your children go to school, and their children also want to go to school, who is this money borrowed from? Even if you borrow it, you can't make up for a child's tuition. So the old village chief said that he would gather the children's travel expenses, and the rest would be left to fate. ”
"And then?"
Yu Fei came over curiously.
I don't know when it started, Han Xiaoxiao quieted down, looked at Chen Sheng, and then looked at the book in Xie Yan's hand.
"And then? Then two of them came back. After all, there is no money to go to school. Chen Sheng said helplessly.
"And how did the rest of the tuition pay for it?"
"The rest of the one comes back every year and brings some local food, and the old village chief's family also gives gifts. Many people said that the village chief gave his family to that person when the child was able to go to school, waiting for him to come back and marry the village chief's daughter! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Sheng recalled the past of his hometown, but laughed first.
"Really? The village chief secretly gave it? ”
Han Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Sheng with starry eyes, but saw Chen Sheng shake his head.
"No, how could it be. If the village chief had been so rich, he would have given his girl a doctor. In the second year of the college student going to school, the village chief's daughter fell ill and was hospitalized, and died in the hospital within a month. Anyway, it's a pimple in the stomach. The people in the village said that it was a stillborn baby. Hmph, those people, if they don't have anything to do for a day, they know that they chew the root of their tongue every day. ”
Chen Sheng thought of the village chief's daughter, and the topic unconsciously turned away.
Several people who were anxious to know how the college student went to school were a little anxious.
Chen Sheng looked at a few people, and finally remembered to continue, "When that college student graduated later, I was about to go out to work, so I chatted with him a few words. He said that after he went to university, he knew that no one in the village could afford to go to college. I was going to take the train back, but the money in my pocket was stolen by a thief. He spent the night under the overpass. It was there that I saw a lot of people getting together to play cards and mahjong. For the first time, he knew that the person who won the game could take the money. That's where his money starts. ”
"Is mahjong under the overpass easy to play?" Han Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Fei.
Yu Fei's face froze, of course he knew there. It was an area that his colleague was in charge of, and they usually looked out for each other, turning a blind eye to each other. When it was time to check, it was clean and empty, and it was definitely a green city. But as a time for fun, there are indeed some small stalls to play there during the day.
However, as far as he knew, none of these cards were large. It's definitely not the kind of gamble that goes bankrupt in a few days.
"It seems that the person you are talking about has a bright brain." It's not easy to win money for school quickly, and to win from a bunch of old fritters.
"yes, so, I still think that people who can really play are good brains." When Chen Sheng thought of the eldest brother in the same village, he unconsciously thought that he almost lost his pants when he lost playing mahjong in the early years.
"Therefore, mahjong is the quintessence of the country, you can play, but once it involves gambling, it is definitely not good." Yu Fei coughed twice and made a summary.
"Cut!" Han Xiaoxiao made a grimace at Yu Fei.
"Stop!"
Just when Yu Fei and Han Xiaoxiao were about to make a big fuss again, Wei Zizhou suddenly shouted to stop.
The driver immediately slammed on the brakes.
All the people stopped their activities and looked towards Wei Zizhou.
"What's wrong?" Xie Yan put down the book in his hand, they had not encountered any danger along the way, one reason was that the route provided by Xu Xuening allowed them to avoid many dangerous places.
"Look there!" Wei Zizhou stretched out his hand and pointed out the window.
Everyone looked to the right-hand side of the car, and a red flag fluttered not far away. If Zhang Ziqiang has good eyesight, he immediately recognized it, "It seems to be a national flag!" ”
Hearing the national flag, everyone present couldn't help but get excited.
At this time, the national flag is waving, does it mean that the army has come to the rescue?
"Wait, look over there, it's not right!" After Zhang Ziqiang was excited, he looked casually to the left of the red flag and immediately discovered the situation.
Xie Yan and Wei Zizhou, who were holding binoculars, stared outside at the same time.
Xie Yan handed the telescope in his hand to Xu Xuening, and Xu Xuening took it and looked in the direction that Zhang Ziqiang said.
When she looked closely, the other telescope had already passed several people. When she handed the telescope to Han Xiaoxiao, she looked at Xie Yan cautiously, "Isn't it ......?"
Without waiting for Xu Xuening to finish speaking, Han Xiaoxiao had already shouted out in surprise, "Are they committing suicide?" ”
No!
Xu Xuening sighed in her heart, they were here to protect those children.
She remembered that when they were on the run, they had met a few students, and they had crawled out of hell compared to the others who had not bathed for days.
Seeing that they were covered with dried blood stains, as well as the mud on their bodies, their eyes were full of murderous energy, and they clenched the axes and kitchen knives in their hands to anyone who approached them, which once made the fleeing team panic.
Many people wanted to stay away from them, but this is the way to Shanghua City, and no one was willing to venture into the city, and now walking towards a crowded place is simply looking for death.
Just endured those students, everyone went all the way trembling, and because of them, everyone in the team was a lot more vigilant.
Because of this, they also escaped many accidents and picked up life from the zombies.
At this moment, Xu Xuening looked at those familiar school uniforms, and she immediately thought of those students who had fled.
At first, she, like everyone else, felt that those students had so much blood on their bodies that they must have killed a lot of people in their hands.
However, when she was almost bitten to death by a zombie when she fell behind, one of the students grabbed her and took her away from the zombie's mouth.
The student saved her life, but later died on the road.
Not because of zombies, not because of people.
It was a rainstorm, and he never woke up after he got sick.
"Let's help them!" Xu Xuening stood up, she knew that everyone here didn't want to do more, but when she said it at the moment, to her surprise, no one in the car raised any objections.
"Drive that way." Xie Yan gave the order directly to the driver.
After receiving Xie Yan's order, his subordinates immediately nodded and rushed over there with one foot on the accelerator.
When Xu Xuening and the others rushed over, they stopped in front of the group of students.
Originally, a group of people were kneeling on the ground, their bodies were tied, and the people next to them were holding knives to kill those kneeling people, while the students next to them kept pleading and crying.
Many people have already died.
Xu Xuening, Xie Yan and the others heard the students shouting, "Don't kill them, they really aren't infected." ”
"Eat my meat, not my children. Please. ”
"Please, eat me!"
Listening to the screams and crying, Xu Xuening's footsteps stopped for the time being. They looked outside and saw what appeared to be two groups of people.
At the moment, the students were almost all tied to the side. Many of the adult men were cruelly guarding the vicinity with weapons one after another.
The fierce and vicious appearance immediately let Xu Xuening know that these people had all seen blood.
