The Story of Weng Lan - The Beginning

A.D. 2039, June 25, the twenty-fourth year of the last century, nine a.m. U.S. time.

In the city of Houston, 100 kilometers south of the coast of Galveston, there is a small town called Bravecity, which means the city of the brave.

The so-called city doesn't live up to its name, and Bravecity is so small that it's not even a small town. It is only about 200 meters long and wide, and it has five families and a population of forty-eight.

These people have chosen to stay away from the big city in the last days, and have taken refuge in this secluded place by the sea, and have lived quietly together for nine years.

Because of the small population, there are only 12 double-storey wooden houses in the town, and the people living in them belong to five families.

In a courtyard in the south of the town, in front of a double-storey wooden house, an Oriental woman in her forties was washing her clothes in a large wooden basin.

She was dressed very casually, barefoot, with black underneath her legs. pants, and only a purple corset was worn on the upper body.

Although she is old, her figure is still very curvy, without a trace of fat, and her skin is very delicate and white, looking like she is only thirty years old.

After washing all the clothes, the woman walked back and forth on the soft sand, hanging them one by one on a clothesline in the courtyard.

At this time, outside the half-meter-high fence courtyard, an Oriental man about twenty years old with a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.

"Mama, look, Alotoffish! It's amazing! ”

The little girl ran to the woman's side, turned around and showed the fish in the basket to her mother.

The woman took the little girl into her arms, kissed her on the cheek, and then helped her remove the basket she was carrying behind her, and saw that there were indeed many fish in it.

"Anne is so capable! What a good daughter for mom! ”

"No, this is actually all caught by Dad, I just did him a small favor!"

The woman touched her daughter's head lovingly, then looked at the handsome man behind her, sighed and said:

"Look at your daughter, what she said is not in the right words!

A lot of fish doesn't say a lot of fish, but she says 'alotoffish', Chinese and English are mixed, how can outsiders understand? ”

The man smiled slightly, stepped forward and hugged the woman, and then kissed her deeply on the lips.

Making out with her husband in front of her daughter, the woman was a little uncomfortable, and pushed the man away in embarrassment, and then the expression on her face became a little resentful.

"Jace, why the hell do you say that? It's been more than 20 years, and you haven't seen any age, but I've become an old woman! ”

Jace knew his wife's heart disease, and comforted him with a smile:

"Who said you were an old woman? Look at your face, there are no wrinkles at all, at most you can only be regarded as a familiar one nowadays. Female, you know, I like to cook. Female, I prefer the kind of madness you have in bed! ”.

Jace's wife, that is, Liu Tian's face turned red, she glanced at her daughter who was counting fish on the side, and gently pushed Jace, before saying, "My daughter is still over there, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Jace laughed, then said, "Honey, this is the last days of America!" A.D. 2039! Our daughter is thirteen years old this year, and she can even find a little boyfriend, so there's no need to hide from her and let her know more about things until she experiences it herself! Your mother is too conservative, so I have to educate her as a father. ”

Little Anne pursed her lips disdainfully, did not look at her parents, and continued to count the fish, as if she had not heard what they were saying

When Jace returned from fishing, Liu Tian finished her housework, and the couple asked their daughter Anne to make a pot of fish and raise them in water, while they went to the kitchen together and began to prepare dinner.

"Don't take Annie with you when you go to sea in the future, what if you encounter a mutant sea beast?" Liu Tian was chopping tomatoes while chatting with Jace.

Jace was cleaning and tidying up the fish at this time.

"Don't worry, I've lived here for so long, and I've never found any too dangerous mutant creatures in the nearby sea."

"Really lived here for a long time, we should have arrived in the United States in 2020, right? Nineteen years have passed in the blink of an eye! ”

"Hey, yes, you and I went all the way to the United States and settled down in order to find Benita, thank you."

Jace stopped what he was doing, stood up and wanted to hug his wife, but there was a lot of fishy smell on his hands because of the killing of fish, so he just lowered his head and kissed Liu Tian on the cheek.

Liu Tian habitually raised her head and responded to Jace, her daughter was not around, she was still very generous, and she didn't mind kissing the man she loved in the kitchen.

After that, the two separated and continued to do their own things.

"I was very reluctant to come to the United States to find your ex-wife when I came to the United States, but I couldn't bear to see you depressed every day in Darklight City. After so many years, I didn't find Benita, but I felt empty in my heart! In the final analysis, it is the end of the world that causes trouble, if it were not for the arrival of the end times, the relatives would not be separated, and it would be impossible for me and you to meet, with the fate of this husband and wife."

"Honey, you have to believe that I love you! Very much love. I also believe that Benita should be alive and well, but now I don't know where she is In the early years, we went to many places, and we also heard the story of a Chinese man looking for Weng Lan, I believe that the man is Qin An. I wanted to go with him, but he didn't take me with me, hey, it seems like yesterday. ”

"You have always put Qin An on your lips all these years, if I were not your wife, I would definitely think that you might like men and Qin An. It didn't seem like we had been with Qin An for long at the beginning, right? Why can't you forget him? ”

"Because I've always regarded him as my friend, I love the Chinese style poetry he writes! I think it's a beautiful form of artistic expression. ”

Liu Tian listened to Jace suddenly talk about Chinese style poetry, his face turned red, and then he stopped talking.

Jace cleaned the fish in his hand, then raised his head in a daze, and suddenly said:

"I am a fish in the sea,

Love to drink sea water is very naughty!

The woman surnamed Liu is my wife,

Dolce Vita watermelon rind

Oh God, it's so hard! It is necessary not only to pursue the artistic conception of the horizontal poem, but also to make the first word of each sentence connected to become a sentence, and to make the last word rhyme, and the whole poem needs to be read coherently and completely! Oh my God, it's so hard to hide your head! Damn Qin An, he obviously promised to teach me! ”

Liu Tian couldn't bear it anymore, her face turned blood-red, and she laughed out loud.

Every time her husband mentions Qin An, he always wants to make a hidden poem, but his poem is like a joke, and Liu Tian can laugh every time he hears it.

"Honey, I beg you! Although you have an oriental face, although your Chinese level is already as pure as fire, but after all, you are an American, you grew up in the United States! So, let's not spoil our Chinese poetry, okay? Haha still watermelon rind? It's so funny! ”

Jace didn't mind in the face of his wife's ridicule, he knew his level.

"Didn't I make it up for the rhyme!"

"But your poem doesn't overwhelm the rhyme! It's really incomprehensible, the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth! ”

"Oh God! I'm really sad that my wife is sarcastic about me like this, what kind of life am I! ”

Jace looked depressed, Liu Tian was already squatting on the ground with a smile, holding his stomach, and the atmosphere in the kitchen was harmonious and happy.

At this moment, in the living room outside the kitchen, a black man in his thirties rushed in, he looked panicked, and shouted in English: "Mayor, where are you?" Something happened! ”

Jace and Liu Tian were slightly stunned at the same time, they glanced at each other, and then put down the work at hand and quickly walked out of the kitchen to the living room.

"Falck, what's wrong, don't be in a hurry and say it slowly!" Jace spoke.

The black man named Falk gasped and took a sip of the water that Liu Tian handed him.

"Mayor Jace, today I took a few brothers to weed the crops in a field two kilometers to the south, and just now, we met a woman! She was covered in blood, lost one of her arms, and eventually fainted in the field! We've gotten her back to our town, and my father has scolded me so much that it's likely to get us in trouble, what do you think we should do? Oh yes! The flesh from the wound on the woman's severed arm would squirm constantly, and my father said that she was probably a stranger, but she was too badly injured to repair her severed arm quickly! ”

Jace's face turned gloomy, did he save a woman who was seriously injured? Or maybe it's a paranormal?

More than twenty years after the end of the world, outsiders are still dangerous for those who live anywhere for a long time!

Jace didn't dare to delay, turned back to Liu Tian and said, "Honey, I need you to go out and call Anne to your side, I'm going to Falck's house to see the situation!" ”

Liu Tian quickly said in Chinese: "I will protect Anne, and when I pack my things, I will also go over later!" You remember to have someone put an eye on the neighborhood, if she's really a mutant, what you call a paranormal, then I think the person who injured her should also be a mutant! The gangsters in Houston are not easy to mess with, you have to find out who she is, if you can't figure out that she is a gang member herself, if that's the case, you'll be in trouble! Those people have done everything, and they don't feel grateful that someone else saved their lives! ”

Jace nodded, of course he knew the evil of the gangsters.

Over the years, if Houston hadn't been overrun by gangsters, he would have lived in Houston City, because he was still looking forward to the day when his ex-wife Benita would return to their pre-apocalyptic home.

Whatever the identity of the woman, Jace knew it was troublesome.

Their town is built on a seaside beach, which is not suitable for farming, so the cultivated land of the town is two kilometers away.

When the woman arrives in the farmland, she cannot be left to fend for herself, so Falck is forced to bring the woman back, because if anyone chases the woman to the farmland, they will also find their town.

Now I can only take one step at a time!

Jace pondered as he left his home with Falck, and walked just over a hundred meters to Falck's house.

When he entered the living room, he found a woman lying on the floor covered in blood, apparently fainted, while Falck's father was staring at the woman's head with a gun, and several other young men were standing on all four feet of the living room with weapons.

When B. Braun saw that Jace was coming, he was finally a little relieved.

"Jace, come and see, she is indeed a Stranger, and her severed arm is slowly being reborn!"

Jace stepped forward and crouched down to look at the woman.

After that, the whole body trembled suddenly and froze
