Chapter 48: Xu Donglin's Story
After graduating from high school, Xu Donglin began to do small business in the south, and it was not until he returned to his hometown during the Spring Festival a few years ago that he made a little money in the south in those years, so he returned to Pingcheng and set up a supermarket in the ancient city of Tianque.
Later, Xu Donglin found a girlfriend, and his girlfriend's home happened to be in the same block as Xu Qingyang's house, and they came and went.
On the way here, Xu Qingyang imagined a possibility.
It may be that Xu Donglin didn't know where to hear the rumors, or maybe he found Xu Qingyang's house after the zombie riot on the first day, picked up his girlfriend, and took Fang Yutong and Xu Fan away by the way.
Moreover, Xu Qingyang knew that Xu Donglin had been in the Tianque Ancient City for a few years, and he must have known very well that once the ancient city was closed, the strong city walls and the materials in the city would be enough to ensure their survival for many years.
This is a thousand times better than staying at home and waiting for death.
But all of this was just an assumption, and he still needed to confirm it to the slightly thin distant cousin in front of him.
"Just tell me! Did you pick them up? Did you let them come to Tianque Ancient City?! Xu Qingyang asked loudly.
Xu Donglin was taken aback by this sound, he was afraid of Xu Qingyang since he was a child, because the entire Xu family counted Xu Qingyang's father Xu Zhenggang, and continued the military tradition of his grandfather and grandparents.
Especially Xu Zhenggang, who has already surpassed his father, is at least an official. And Xu Qingyang is not far behind, and his military rank has reached that of lieutenant colonel.
This makes Xu Qingyang's family have a transcendent status in the Xu family, plus Xu Qingyang's strong body, he has beaten several brothers since he was a child.
As soon as the tiger was powerful, Xu Donglin was naturally trembling with fear, and he didn't even have the courage to lie.
"Yes." Xu Donglin lowered his head and replied mechanically like a mosquito sound.
"Be louder!" Xu Qingyang slapped the table, he had never lost such a big temper in the army, but at this moment, he was already shouting angrily.
Suddenly everyone around him held their breath.
"Yes! I took them away, that day, I went to pick up Tingting, ready to go back to the house, the car just arrived halfway, I saw zombies everywhere biting, Tingting said she was at her sister-in-law's house, I quickly drove over, and the family yard also fought, but those officers and grandfathers were very tight, I looked at the gap to pick them up downstairs, and thought again......" Xu Donglin told the scene of the incident in one breath, and stopped halfway through the talk, looking at everyone with some embarrassment.
"What comes to mind? Say! Xu Qingyang asked sharply.
Thought again...... I still have 50,000 yuan in cash in my store, so I took them to the ancient city. Xu Donglin's voice became smaller and quieter, this kind of stupid behavior of not wanting to die for money is probably only something that this kind of person can do.
But the more this kind of person, the more fortunate he is that ordinary people don't have, and the result of coveting the 50,000 yuan in cash is to save his life in the end.
But the question is, where are the other three people besides himself?
"And where are they?" Xu Qingyang continued to ask.
"We went out of the city from the west gate, all the way to the southeast, when we were about to reach the fairy store, my car broke down, there were not so many zombies here at that time, we got out of the car and ran, but we didn't run far, we found an empty car that was still starting, I thought we were lucky, but I didn't expect that as soon as my sister-in-law opened the back seat, a little zombie rushed out...... Woo woo woo ......" Xu Donglin was talking about the events of the day, and when he talked about the key things, he actually whimpered and cried.
Hearing this, Xu Qingyang's eyes were already red, and the last thing he wanted to happen should have happened, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but that note brought him a glimmer of hope.
Now hope has just appeared, and disappointment has come in a hurry.
Xu Qingyang was silent for a long time, rubbed his face with his hand, and then said lightly: "Then what?" ”
"The little zombie looks like it's only about 10 years old, but after the sister-in-law opened the door, it pounced very suddenly, and the force was also very strong, the sister-in-law was thrown directly to the ground, the little nephew ran to pull, even Tingting ran over and beat the zombie frantically, I rushed over from the other side of the car, but ......" Xu Donglin's emotions that had been gradually controlled collapsed again at this moment, crying and saying.
"Woo...... I saw that my sister-in-law's hand had been bitten by a little zombie, woo...... I've heard before that being bitten by those people is contagious...... Me, I...... I'm a bastard! Whining...... I drove away alone! ”
"I drove the car away by myself! Woo-ah...... Third brother! I'm sorry for you! Woo ah......"

……
It is said that the second male does not flick when he has tears, and the soldiers do not shed tears when they bleed.
It's hard to do.
This is the second time Xu Qingyang has shed tears since the zombie riot, but it is the first time in his life that he has cried so purely.
He sat on the floor in the toilet of the teahouse, tears streaming down his face, dripping his clothes.
Even though he had tried his best to suppress his crying at first, when the faces of his wife and children appeared in his mind, he could no longer suppress the pain in his heart and cried out.
For more than ten years, they have always gathered less and left more, either he is in the army, or on the way to the army.
Fang Yutong has always understood him very well, she knew that it would be like this from the beginning, and she never had any complaints, she always ran the home silently alone, and always gave him the warmest and most comfortable rear when he came home exhausted.
When his son was a child, he was not sensible, and when Xu Qingyang came home several times, his son always dodged and refused to let him hug him, and even called him uncle once, until he was getting older, he began to be proud of him slowly.
Several times, Fang Yutong told Xu Qingyang that his son bragged at school again today, saying that his father was an officer, and he didn't want it.
Xu Qingyang felt that this was the way it should be, just as he was once proud of his father.
Because, they are soldiers.
And they are the families of military personnel.
But today, he only felt that he should have been a good husband and father, but he did not even give them the least security.
As far as the country is concerned, the zombie riot is a disaster for the world, and he is derelict in his duty.
As far as the family is concerned, his wife is dead, and his son is not known for his life and death, and he is even more derelict in his duties.
The country is gone, the home is gone, what is the point of all this?
He cried and shouted, and he just felt that the world was spinning.
His hand groped between his belt, and a cold pistol was hanging from his waist.
