Chapter 63: Ye Lingyan
Walking in the chaotic neighborhood, Zhou Yunfeng felt in his heart that it was not as easy as he imagined to find a suitable place to settle here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are so many refugees here, most of the better places have been occupied, especially in the area near the wall, the refugees are more dense, and the closer you are to the wall, it means that if something happens, it will be safer.
After wandering aimlessly for more than ten minutes, the three of them suddenly heard a call, and the sound came from behind.
As soon as they heard this voice, all three of them stopped in unison, turned to look behind them, and saw a woman waving at them, trotting all the way.
The woman's hair looks a little unkempt, her face is black and white, she looks dirty, at first glance, she looks a little beggar, wearing a gray coat, and a pair of cotton pants, the clothes match the pants, a little out of place, how awkward to look.
Most of the refugees here are like this, unlike Zhou Yunfeng and others, who are relatively cleanly dressed here, and they don't look like refugees at all.
The woman trotted over and shouted and waited, Zhou Yunfeng and Wang Cheng frowned, looking at her suspiciously, and they didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Lu Xing also looked at it expressionlessly.
"Did you stop us for something?" When the woman came to her, Zhou Yunfeng took the lead in asking questions.
However, what made Zhou Yunfeng a little speechless was that the other party didn't seem to take his question seriously, and didn't answer a word, but kept his eyes open and kept staring at Wang Cheng.
Seeing her performance, Zhou Yunfeng and Lu Xing couldn't help but look at Wang Cheng as well, and they didn't have to think about it to know that the woman seemed to be coming over to Wang Cheng, and they might have known each other before.
At this time, being looked at by the three of them, Wang Cheng looked dazed, touched the back of his head, didn't know what the situation was, and then said: "Eh...... Why are you all staring at me? ”
The woman looked at Wang Cheng carefully for half a minute, as if to confirm something, and finally said, "You are Wang Cheng?" ”
In Wang Cheng's opinion, the woman in front of him should not be known to him, but he called out his name, was stunned for a few seconds, and then nodded: "How do you know that my name is Wang Cheng?" I don't seem to know you, who are you? ”
"I'm your cousin, I haven't seen each other for two years, so you can't recognize me?" The woman frowned, seeming a little dissatisfied.
"Huh?" When Wang Cheng heard this, he was stunned for two seconds, then looked at the woman's face carefully, and then suddenly realized: "Cousin Ling Yan! Is that you? ”
"That's right, it's me, you're just thinking about it now, and it's too slow." Ye Lingyan stretched out her hand, swept it over Wang Cheng's head, and nodded in affirmation.
"You can't blame me, if you don't say it in advance, it's really hard for me to see that it's you!" When Wang Cheng heard this, he touched his head with some embarrassment.
can't blame Wang Cheng for being sluggish, Ye Lingyan is dressed like this, he doesn't look like the cousin before, if it weren't for the other party's point and careful look at his face, he really couldn't recognize it.
Hearing these words, Zhou Yunfeng figured out what was going on, it turned out that this woman was Wang Cheng's cousin, and it was estimated that she was familiar with Wang Cheng before, so she ran over to confirm.
At this time, Ye Lingyan looked at Zhou Yunfeng and Lu Xing, and then said, "Wang Cheng, are you following the two of them, or are they following you?" ”
The meaning of Ye Lingyan's words is more obvious, in fact, he is asking whether he is a follower or the boss.
"Cousin, Brother Zhou and Brother Lu are my life-saving benefactors, if they hadn't passed by the university at that time, I would have gone down there by now, and it would be impossible for me to come here......" Wang Cheng heard this, and quickly explained.
After explaining, Ye Lingyan probably knew the situation, and could see that Zhou Yunfeng and Lu Xing were not bad people, so she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since you just came here and haven't found a suitable place, then go to my place for the time being......"
…………
After that, the three of them followed behind Ye Lingyan and soon came to where she lived now.
Ye Lingyan was one of the first people to flee to Xincheng at that time, and she was lucky, she still lived in a lot of places at that time, and the officials were more willing to help her, so she arranged to live in a small room.
Although it is only a cheap rental single room in the past, the size is only about 10 square meters, but it is better than most refugees here, and it is better to have a room than to live in a tent.
On top of that, there is also a security point nearby, which is guarded by soldiers who are responsible for maintaining order and avoiding chaos in the slums, so the place where she lives is relatively safe, and no one dares to cause trouble.
The room was originally small, Zhou Yunfeng and they brought a lot of things, and the space stacked in it suddenly became very crowded, and the four of them were crowded inside, and it was very troublesome to sleep.
As soon as she arrived, Wang Cheng asked Ye Lingyan if there was any news about her parents, but she couldn't get an answer, since the accident, she hadn't seen Wang Cheng's parents, and even the relatives around her had died.
When the topic of her parents was mentioned, Ye Lingyan's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of gloom, she was actually very relieved and happy to see Wang Cheng's cousin.
Avoiding sensitive topics, Wang Cheng then asked, "Cousin, why did you make yourself so ugly?" ”
Although he hadn't seen his cousin for two years, in Wang Cheng's impression, Ye Lingyan still looked good, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Hearing Wang Cheng say this, Zhou Yunfeng shook his head, and secretly screamed in his heart, the reason why Ye Lingyan did this must be deliberate, in this kind of chaotic place, women are actually very weak, especially those who are good-looking, if they don't deliberately make themselves ugly, something will inevitably happen.
Ye Lingyan couldn't help but roll her eyes, she didn't bother to explain too much to Wang Cheng, but mentioned something else: "By the way, let's not talk about this, the three of you shouldn't have gone to the identity registration yet." ”
"Do I have to go for an identity registration?" Zhou Yunfeng wondered.
"You must go to register, otherwise you will not be able to distribute food, and all the people who come here to take refuge must use their identification documents to collect food every time they distribute food, so as to prevent people from receiving it repeatedly, if you don't have a certificate, you won't be able to get food." Ye Lingyan explained very seriously.
After listening to this, Zhou Yunfeng thought thoughtfully, and continued to ask: "How is the food distribution here, and how much can you get at one time?" ”
"When I first arrived here, there weren't many people, and I had to distribute food three times a day, but then there were too many people, and the amount of food distributed began to decrease, from three times to two, and now there is only one time a day, and I can only barely survive......
When explaining, Ye Lingyan's face was heavy, after she came here, her life became more and more difficult day by day, and she ate less and less, she was already worried in her heart, maybe it won't be long before the official will no longer distribute food, and she doesn't know what to do then.
"Don't worry about registering your identity, we still have some food with us, you have been here for so long, you should know a lot about the situation in Xin City, let's talk about these first."
According to Ye Lingyan, Zhou Yunfeng already knew that even if he went to register his identity, the food he could get every day was pitiful, and it didn't matter to them, anyway, there was still a lot of compressed food, enough for a few people to eat for about two months.
Rather than receiving food, what Zhou Yunfeng cares more about now is actually the situation in Xincheng, and only by learning more about this place can he gain a firm foothold here.
When asked about the situation in Xincheng, Wang Cheng took out some food from his backpack and gave it to his cousin, he could see that Ye Lingyan hadn't eaten enough for a long time, and his body was a little thin.
In this regard, Zhou Yunfeng didn't say anything, Wang Cheng's actions were reasonable, if he exchanged identities with him, he would definitely do so, after all, they were relatives.
Seeing Wang Cheng take out a bunch of food, Ye Lingyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was not polite, she reached out and grabbed a pack of ham sausages, tore open the bag and began to send it to her mouth.
She hadn't eaten something like ham sausage, and the food she usually received was basically white porridge, not even a little meat, and there was no nutrition at all, so she could only barely satisfy herself so that she wouldn't starve to death.
While eating, Ye Lingyan said everything she knew.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yunfeng and the others probably knew what kind of situation Xin Cheng was at this time.
At this time, Xincheng is divided into two extreme areas, one is the refugee area where they are now, where there are a large number of refugees, the living conditions are relatively poor, and a little chaotic.
In the refugee areas, some large and small gangs have also been formed, and a very small number of people have taken great risks to go out in search of food and supplies, although they have to hover on the verge of death, but those who survive are living okay.
The official will often recruit some people to go out, looking for supplies or carrying out certain tasks, generally these outgoing tasks are more risky, but those who go will have a good harvest, of course, the premise is to be able to come back alive.
The other area is inside the wall, what is the situation inside the wall, Ye Lingyan is not very clear, because she has never been in, but she heard that the living environment inside is much better than outside, and there is plenty of food as a guarantee, but not everyone can go in.
Most of the people who can enter the walls are the family members of important people, as well as some residents who originally lived in Xincheng, because of the limited space, foreign refugees are rarely able to enter, so they can only stay outside.
None of the refugees who live outside the walls do not want to go inside, although it is not completely out of chance, but it is basically impossible, unless they have the talents that are very much needed by the authorities, such as some important scientific researchers......
