Chapter 30: Under the Erlong Mountain
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xiao led a group of several people to embark on the road back to their hometown, along the city's north-south main road all the way to the north.
At this time, there was a new addition to the young man Guo Zirong, although the six people walked under the scorching sun on their heads, they still showed a spring breeze on their faces, and slowly moved forward with laughter and laughter, and bursts of silver bell-like women's laughter came from time to time in the team......
The bulging outfits on the crowd were actually heavier and more numerous than the previous luggage, like a housewarming, all of them were carried on their shoulders and in their hands.
In addition to the backpack on his back, Li Han was also carrying two bucket-sized gasoline barrels at this time, and he was holding a steel bar in his left hand and an iron rod in his right hand, but looking at his relaxed look, there should not be much weight in the gasoline barrel on his back.
The little fat man's face was already slightly sweaty, and he was obviously more difficult to walk than others, and the iron rod in his hand had already turned into a crutch.
And in addition to a bulging backpack on his back, he also carried a large black iron pot, which looked extremely dazzling in the sun, and from a distance, it was as weird as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the movie, no wonder this kid walked so hard!
At this time, the little fat man was walking behind the team and muttering: "Hey~, fat brother, I am a black pot life, but fortunately, I am not wearing a green hat!" ”
Chen Xiao, who was walking in front, heard the words of the little fat man, and couldn't help but think of a cold joke in the army, which was about the cooking class of the artillery company.
During the march of the troops, the soldiers of these cooking classes were: cuckolding, carrying black pots, and watching others fight 'cannons'!
Now hearing the little fat man complaining, Chen Xiao couldn't help but have a whim, and teased him: "It's okay, when you get to my house, I'll give you one, I still have several sets of military uniforms at home!" When the time comes, you will be able to fulfill your great wish of cuckolding and carrying a black pot! ”
There is another item that Chen Xiao didn't dare to say, after all, there are still female compatriots here.
When the little fat man heard Chen Xiao's words, his face suddenly darkened, and his mouth was even more reluctant: "Okay! The surname is Chen, Cheng Xin makes fun of me! You want to carry it, but I won't give it to you! ”
"However, there are so many green hats in your family, my sister-in-law must be very good at taking care of herself! You must have been wronged before, right? I didn't expect Brother Xiao to have this past? Isn't it because I'm embarrassed to go out to meet people, so I keep these hats and eat my guts! Haha......" After the little fat man finished speaking, he laughed loudly, with an arrogant face of revenge.
Seeing that everyone listened to his words, they all looked at Chen Xiao with a teasing look, and the little fat man shook his head proudly and sighed: "Alas! The past is unbearable! Don't mention it! The people of my generation should work hard, and they must not follow in the footsteps of Brother Xiao, so as not to be scolded by the world! Gee! It's hard to be a man! ”
When Chen Xiao heard this, his scalp suddenly became numb, this dead fat man really can't be messed with, why is he not good at words! If you deliberately fight back, I'm afraid it will get darker and darker, you know, the explanation is a cover-up, and when the time comes, everyone will coax together, and it will be impossible to argue.
"Alas~, these old stories will be known to you, a dead fat man, it's really unladylike! However, in the future, this black pot will be memorized by your kid, and if you can't find a stable place to live for a day, you will always carry it! There's no way, who is our brother with whom, if you say it, you have to take advantage of the same! After Chen Xiao sighed, he had to respond with a hint of majesty, and there was no lack of wit in his tone.
"Good! If you can't say me, you deliberately change the topic, you are a personal vendetta of the communiqué, give me small shoes to wear, I don't accept it, you all give me a comment! Does this have a relationship with trouble? When the little fat man heard this, he was immediately angry, and pouted to ask everyone for justice.
Chen Xiao also turned his head to look at everyone, and after scanning around coldly, he said in a threatening tone: "What? Do any of you want to carry that black cauldron? If you want to memorize it, just stand up for him! ”
When several people heard Chen Xiao's angry expression, while stuffing their mouths, they quickly shook their heads and waved their hands, and they felt both funny and helpless about the funny dialogue between the two!
They can't even take the things on their bodies, how can they have the heart to help the little fat man? After seeing the little fat man's expression of asking for help, they had to innocently point to the things on their bodies, and then pointed at Chen Xiao, and threw an apologetic look at the little fat man.
Ma Ying gloated and smiled at the little fat man: "Fat brother, you said that you worked hard and complained!" Aren't you going to back the cauldron now? Why did you back down so quickly? ”
When the little fat man saw everyone's indifferent expressions, he couldn't help but be angry and said, "Okay! None of you are righteous and angry! Fat brother, I really don't know anyone! Forget it, I'll accept my fate in this matter, and when you fall into trouble in the future, you don't want to find a fat brother and I will uphold justice! Hum! ”
After speaking, he walked straight forward angrily, looking like he ignored everyone......
After being teased for a while, the crowd quickly followed.
Chen Xiao saw that he was angry with the little fat man, and he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then continued to walk forward.
Everyone played around along the way, but also sent away a lot of loneliness and emptiness, so that the bumpy road that was not easy to walk was unconsciously measured for dozens of miles, although everyone joked with each other and belittled each other, but they were not really angry, and after a while, they would be fine!
So, in the midst of the jokes and jokes along the way, they slowly walked to the northern outskirts of the city, and faintly saw the wilderness and mountains in the distance.
During this period, when everyone passed by the apple orchard where the Ma Jing sisters lived at the beginning, they naturally took the opportunity to go in and have a good meal, and packed a batch of large green apples for use on the road.
After walking out of the urban area of T City, everyone stood on the outskirts and looked back at the city that had become full of ruins, and after a while of sighing, they continued to walk towards the north with a heavy heart!
I don't know when I'll come back next time......
What Chen Xiao and the others didn't know was that when they left the city, there were still many survivors moving around in other parts of the city......
On Shihu Mountain, the zoo in the east of the city, there is an air-raid shelter left over from the previous war, which was later planned by the government as a temporary shelter during wartime, and citizens are often organized to come here for air defense drills.
At this time, in one of the air-raid shelters, there were thirty or forty figures faintly distributed, including men, women, and children.
In the center of the cave, there is a tall middle-aged man with a strong figure, who is sitting on the protrusion of a rock in the cave, and from time to time he commands something: "In the future, we must all be in a group, you have also gone out to see in the past two days, and there are few people who have survived, so we must unite with each other in the future, divide labor and cooperate, the men go out to find food, and the women do laundry and cook ......."
Around the tall man, there were seven or eight young men of different heights and thin figures, most of whom were in their twenties, and they were nodding their heads in agreement, looking like a tall man......
On the edge of a reservoir in the west of the city, there are also more than 20 figures holding various fishing tools at this time, and they are busy nervously, these figures are all under the command of an old man about fifty or sixty years old, fishing around......
"The big guys are working hard! Try to catch big fish, don't catch small fish, although it's not easy for big guys, they all want to eat more, but you have to think about it for the future! We were lucky enough to survive because we were close to this reservoir, and we will rely on it to provide us with food in the future! So I have to leave some fish fry, or I can only drink cold water in the future......"
"Everyone must be careful, after the current fish have been strengthened by energy, they are not what they used to be, not only have they become a lot bigger, but their attack power is getting stronger and stronger, and it is uncomfortable to be bitten by them......"
……
The same scene is being played out in different forms in several areas of T City, and the people who survived are gradually and spontaneously coming together......
These survivors are not only large and small groups, but are busy foraging and hunting for food, trying to survive in the future......
Chen Xiao and the others on the march knew that there was no route or map now, so they could only follow the straight-line distance as much as possible, and only after encountering buildings or survivors could they further determine the direction of action.
And a few miles further on, they came to a natural scenic spot called Erlong Mountain, where Chen Xiao also followed his colleagues to visit once when there was a bus that went directly to the city.
Because the two mountain ranges of this mountain extend out, the middle just forms a canyon-like place, from a distance, the two mountain ranges are even more distinct, plus the huge mountain in the middle of the two mountain ranges, it is like two dragons playing with pearls, so this mountain is also named Erlong Mountain.
The terrain around Erlong Mountain, Chen Xiao knows, after passing this mountain, it is the boundary of Y County, after passing Y County, it is X City, and when you get to X City, and then pass through the two county seats, you will arrive at your hometown.
In the current situation, I can only climb over this mountain that is only more than 1,000 meters, but this mountain is not too high, and it should not take long! If you take the road around the mountain, it will take you as long as three times as long to climb the mountain.
When Chen Xiao and his entourage arrived at the foot of Erlong Mountain, the sky had already darkened, and a few traces of starlight had begun to flicker in the distant sky.
Because it was dark late in the middle of summer, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, although it was just getting dark.
A few people returned to the north of the city from the south of the city, because they had walked once, so they saved a lot of time, otherwise they would definitely not be able to run through the entire city so quickly and reach the foot of this Erlong Mountain in just four or five hours.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Guo Zirong hurriedly took out a torch with terpineol ester and a small amount of gasoline from behind him, and lit it with a lighter, and there were as many as five or six of the same torches on his back, which he had just brought with him after returning home.
In addition to carrying a bundle of torches, Guo Zirong also carried a backpack for clothes, a woven bag with a lot of torn clothes, and a bag of wooden arrows.
Those rags could be used to lay the ground for everyone when they slept in the wilderness in the future, so he didn't give it up.
Guo Zirong held a bow in his left hand and a torch in his right hand and walked towards the front of the team, and suddenly a ball of fire illuminated everyone's surroundings, allowing everyone to broaden their vision and feel a trace of warmth in their hearts.
Sister Ma Jing was faintly afraid after it got dark, after all, most girls are very afraid of the dark! At this time, when he saw the torch lit up, he suddenly became no longer afraid, and happily chased after Guo Zirong, and some pots and pans behind him also jingled.
Chen Xiao has been walking at the forefront, and when he saw Guo Zirong running forward, he stopped and muttered to him: "It's not early, let's find a place to rest today!" Wait until dawn tomorrow, and it's not too late to hurry! ”
After speaking, he greeted the little fat man and the others behind him, and motioned for them to follow as soon as possible.
Chen Xiao remembered that a kilometer away from them, there should be a pavilion, and there were five or six rockeries around, and there was an artificially built stone cave under one of the rockeries, which could accommodate seven or eight people.
After Chen Xiao made up his mind, he immediately looked for the front, and Guo Zirong hurriedly followed behind with a torch to illuminate the road ahead for Chen Xiao.
With Chen Xiao's current eyesight, he didn't need the illumination of torches at all, and he could move forward as fast as daytime, and after a while, the place where the rockery was once located appeared in his sight......
I saw that the former pavilion had lost its trace, covered by a huge black-gray meteorite, and the last of the five or six rockeries remained, surrounded by earth pits and debris......
This used to be a place for visitors to take a little rest before climbing, but now it is unfortunately destroyed, and I hope that the remaining rockery is the rockery with a stone cave! Chen Xiao sighed and looked forward to it silently in his heart.
Forget it, if you come, you will be safe, Chen Xiao slowly walked towards the rockery with the mentality of giving it a try......
"Haha, it's really that rockery, the stone cave is still preserved, it seems that God still favors us, I'm afraid that we won't have a place to sleep, so I left it behind!" Chen Xiao walked closer and found the stone cave he had been to once, and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.
When everyone saw Chen Xiao's elated expression, they couldn't help but come forward one after another, and by the light of Guo Zirong's torch, everyone saw the stone cave one after another.
Sure enough, it was not destroyed, and there was a place to live again tonight, and after everyone saw the appearance of the stone cave, they suddenly closed their mouths happily.
A group of six people hurriedly entered the cave to investigate, and found that this stone cave was not only relatively well preserved, but also a relatively closed space, and couldn't help but be even more happy.
After everyone roughly cleaned up, they each sorted out a place for themselves to sleep, and Xiao Guo also divided the rags in the woven bag for everyone, so that everyone could simply make a floor ......
Afterwards, everyone went out of the cave to find some dry branches and clear water, and began to set up a fire to boil water!
Since everyone had already eaten at noon, and they were already energy strengthened bodies, they were not particularly hungry, but after drinking some hot water, eating a few mutated apples, and slightly replenishing some of the energy consumed, they started the training plan that they had set yesterday under Chen Xiao's supervision......
So, the big guys spent two difficult hours in the heat and sweating, and after the training, several people didn't care about Chen Xiao's subsequent nagging at all, and they quickly fell asleep......
Only Chen Xiao, who was stunned, shook his head helplessly and sighed in place......
I don't know how long it was, but it was estimated that it was the middle of the night, and the sleeping people continued to breathe and snore evenly, while Chen Xiao was sitting by the fire in the cave, thinking about some things while keeping vigil.
Suddenly, a cold wind suddenly hit the cave at the entrance of the cave, blowing the flames on the fire to the ground and at the same time, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a spirit, he instinctively felt that something was approaching the cave, and it was something that made him feel extremely dangerous......
Chen Xiao was in a trance, and couldn't help but look at the entrance of the cave, and by the faint light of the fire, he vaguely saw a huge head that seemed to be somewhat similar to the head of the Komodo dragon, which was slowly poking into the cave at this time, with a long letter still spitting out a long letter in a mouth the size of a frying pan, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with sticky saliva, and his figure was still moving towards Ma Jing who was close to the entrance of the cave......
Chen Xiao shook his head, and after taking a closer look, he found that he was not hallucinating! This monster with a huge head really entered the stone cave, and it was only a few feet away from Ma Jing at this time......
At the same time that Chen Xiao's back was cold, he suddenly woke up, and his head was covered with cold sweat in an instant!
What kind of monster is this? How can you quietly touch the hole? Didn't you block several big rocks at the entrance of the cave?
In a panic, Chen Xiao couldn't help but reach out and touch the hand 'gun' on his waist......
