Chapter 10 Encountering a Dead Friend in a Foreign Country
Thunderstorm raised his eyebrows, and was about to act aggressively, I slapped him on the back of the neck, and he replied obediently: "We are survivors of the northeast and south, there are soldiers and civilians, what about you?" ”
"You Northeasterners?" The other party's tone was noticeably softer.
Then, a tall and thin man of 1.9 meters jumped from the cab, wearing a strong suit, wearing a flat wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of large toad glasses.
The man, with a large gun in his hand, walked slowly towards our car.
Since the other side had a representative come down to meet, Canaan also got out of the car and communicated with the other party as our representative.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them came to meet, the two of them screamed at the same time, and climbed each other's arms affectionately, and the man's gun was not returned to the holster, they knew each other?
"Duoduo, look! Isn't this Ah Keung? Do you remember him? Canaan turned around and shouted loudly to the car, and the man also greeted his car, "Tingting, this is a fellow from Bincheng!" ”
Cuong? Tingting? I was pleasantly surprised, who would have thought that I would meet them in Xi'an three years later? It's not a dream, is it?
Tingting and I, who are tall, also got out of the car, aren't we just the two of them? Ah Qiang of 1.9 meters and Tingting of 1.75 meters! Three years have passed, and the faces of these two people have not changed much, and Tingting is a little fatter than before.
"Sister Duo, are you finally willing to leave the community?" Tingting hugged me, so happy, this girl repeatedly invited our family to follow their team when she was in the community, and I couldn't let go of the partners in the whole community at that time, and I was reluctant to leave the home, so I politely refused.
"How long ago was it that if you were willing to leave the community," I smiled wryly, "we've been tossing and turning several places, and it's still not too suitable, no, continue to look south for shelter." ”
"Why are you so stinky? The others ......, "Tingting saw that we only had three cars, and thought that there were only a few people in the community who survived."
"Don't get me wrong, the big guys are living very well, there are more than 100 people in the community, plus the partners who joined one after another, if you count them all, there must be a big team of more than 1,000 people now. Those of us are in charge of coming out to find a base, and we have to pick them up when we go back. ”
"Oh! Scared the hell out of me, that's good, that's good. Sister Duo, I am so happy that you and Brother Canaan can have a good relationship! Let's go to our cottage and see my and Cuong's home. Tingting warmly invited us, and everyone got into the car one after another and followed Cuong's car to a small road.
Walked around for a long time, there was a "cottage" with a wall in front of me, I don't know how to describe this place, the area is about the size of an ordinary community, but you can't see the building inside, the surrounding wall is obviously built later, taller and thicker than the ordinary wall, the wall is also buried with sharp glass ballast, zombies must not be able to climb up, and dig a deep and wide ditch around the wall, there are barbs buried inside, hey, it seems that the survivors of this trick can think of it.
The main entrance of the cottage is a suspension bridge, when we arrived, the suspension bridge was erected in the ditch, seeing Ah Qiang's car go back, the suspension bridge slowly fell, and the big iron gate at the end of the bridge also slowly opened.
Following Cuong's car, the three of us drove in together, we trust Cuong and Tingting, at least Canaan and I trust them very much, and others may still be wary in their hearts.
When I entered the cottage, I saw that it was full of rows of bungalows, and there were many people walking around, and it was really an orderly shelter.
Ah Qiang and Tingting warmly invited us to their room, the room is not small, there is more than 40 square meters, except for the small bathroom and small kitchen that are separated, it is a big room.
"This condition is at home, it's a bit crowded, you can find a place to sit casually, Sister Duo, you and Shuai Shuai will lie down on the bed, you must be tired in the car." Tingting generously arranged, before the end of the world, it is not allowed to sit on the bed in the bedroom, wearing a coat and pants, it is quite impolite and unqualified, but in the last days, we are no longer as particular as before, mainly because there are not so many chairs.
Everyone sat down, we chatted with Ah Qiang Tingting, only to know that after their team walked here, they met another group of local survivors, and the two groups of people began to almost fight, and later found that they were not bad people, and they were all very righteous and strong, so they simply joined forces, and jointly found such a suitable place to set up camp and settle down, and jointly improved the security protection of the base, during which they received a lot of survivors who came to the site, and everyone spontaneously formed a supply team, the logistics department or something, it can be said that the development is good.
I listened to Tingting say, and secretly wondered in my heart, can this be our most powerful base?
"Sister Duo, if we can see each other in three years, it won't be an ordinary fate," Tingting said emotionally, "Don't run around anymore and stay with us." ”
Ah Qiang also persuaded Canaan, among those of us, only me and Canaan knew these two people, and no one else had seen them, but just listened to a few of us chatting to understand the situation.
"Brother, let's stay for a few days." Hearing that Ah Qiang and Tingting launched a retention for us, Zhang Xiaomei answered in a timely manner, I understand what Xiaomei means, before we understand a place, we can't easily agree to stay, we must learn the lessons of the past.
Ah Qiang and Tingting are understanding people, they see that the relationship between these partners and our husband and wife is not ordinary, and whether to stay or not is definitely not something that we can decide by ourselves, so they staggered this topic and talked about something else.
During this period, Ah Qiang went out for a while, and when he came back, he told Tingting that he had arranged the temporary residence of the ten of us, and sent us to rest after inviting us to dinner.
Dinner at Ah Qiang and Tingting's house, is some simple dishes, to my surprise is that there are vegetables and pork, asked Tingting, said that this small cottage behind the pigs, sheep and chickens and other things, there is also a greenhouse planted with vegetables, but the grain is less, the area of the cottage is not enough.
That's a very good condition! What kind of bicycle do you want to go? I couldn't help but be moved.
Tingting told me that in this cottage, the surname of the big boss is Fan, called Fan Bing, is the head of the local gang, and the second leader is Ah Qiang, the head of the two groups of people jointly manages this cottage, and if there is something to discuss, it also maintains a balance.
This Fan Bing and Ah Qiang are also good, unlike some leaders, when they become officials, they shrink behind and just command, and the matter of sending them to death is done by the small soldiers, each of them leads a team of capable soldiers, and takes turns to go out to supply, no one is lazy and slippery, although it is said that it is made of two forces in this cottage, it is also safe and stable, and it is harmonious.
How is this similar to our life in the valley? Our friends looked at each other, and there was approval in their eyes.
At night, we were assigned to four small rooms next to each other, Canaan and I were divided into separate rooms, Nian Nian and Xia Xiaohan were divided into one room, Zhang Xiaomei, Thunderstorm, and Adam were divided into one room, and Luohan and Yijin were divided into one room.
Cuong didn't know that in addition to our family, there were two young couples, so they were divided according to gender, and after sending us to the room, he left, saying that he would come and bring us breakfast in the morning.
I was embarrassed to say more in front of Ah Qiang, and as soon as the others left, I quietly changed the personnel, so that Zhang Xiaomei and Xia Xiaohan, Aojin and Niannian had their own separate rooms, and the three bachelors, Adam, Thunderstorm and Luohan, were reassigned to one room.
Canaan praised me for being thoughtful, and I whispered while patting Shuai Shuai, "The two young couples at the Nanhai base have been separated for so long, and they will have the opportunity to be alone, and if I don't help create some conditions, this sister will inevitably be too unqualified." ”
Early the next morning, Tingting sent eggs, rice porridge and soy milk, although these foods look ordinary, but in the last days, they are extremely precious.
"Fan Bing wants to meet you and learn about the situation outside, Sister Duo, okay?" Tingting asked me with big eyes, and I nodded, "Okay, why not?" ”
I also want to meet this Fan soldier in my heart, understand him, and understand him, which is equivalent to understanding the base.
After dinner, we followed Tingting to a room in the middle of the cottage, I thought that as the master of the cottage, he would occupy a large room, but I didn't expect him to live in an ordinary house, as big as Ah Qiang Tingting's home.
I imagined that Fan Bing might be a tall man similar to Ah Qiang, mighty and domineering, who knew that he was completely different from what I imagined, he was not tall, but very strong, with sharp eyes, a high nose bridge, and a shrewdness all over his body, which was incomprehensible at a glance.
"You may be seated!" When Fan Bing saw us enter the house, he stood up and said hello politely, there were a lot of chairs in his room, and it seemed that the bedroom was used by him as a conference room.
"When we passed by Bincheng, we bothered Sister Duo and them." Ah Qiang introduced with a smile, sat next to Fan Bing, and then introduced us one by one.
"What is the situation in the Northeast?" Fan Bing went straight to the topic, and Canaan gave a brief introduction to the general situation in the northeast, especially the extreme weather in the north.
"This year's weather is really abnormal, and it snowed here for a while a while ago, and it's only stopped these days." Fan Bing frowned slightly, "But the boundary of Xi'an is neither south nor north, the temperature is not too much, we can make do with it." ”
After a pause, Fan Bing looked at Ah Qiang, and then at us, "What do you think of the conditions of our small cottage?" Do you have the idea of leaving a life together? ”
