Chapter 24 The Difficulty of Finding Relatives
Two hours passed unconsciously, and during this period, Chen Xiao implemented a complete set of training plans for Little Fat Man and others without wasting a minute or a second in line with the idea of a leader.
From basic skills to physical fitness, to combat moves and offensive and defensive methods, all of them are taught by words and deeds, and strict requirements make the exhausted people feel even more admired and in awe of Chen Xiao although they are bitter.
Guo Zirong, the owner of the culvert, was also particularly interested in the fighting moves taught by Chen Xiao, so he later joined the practice, and he was very busy with everyone......
Under the light of the campfire, figures tossed and turned in the narrow culverts, waving their fists and feet, and in a short time they felt that this midsummer night was becoming more and more hot, and tonight was destined to be an unforgettable night for everyone to spend in exhaustion and excitement, and thus change their lives for the future.
After the training, everyone dragged their tiredness and quickly fell asleep, because Chen Xiao insisted on the first vigil, so he was sitting in front of the campfire at this time, while paying attention to the movement outside the culvert, while thinking about the next training method for everyone......
There was nothing to say all night, at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, Guo Zirong called everyone up, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, he saw that Chen Xiao was still on guard, so he took over Chen Xiao's duty under repeated requests.
After boiling a pot of boiling water and replenishing it a little, they packed their bags and prepared to set off to carry out the search plan they had set out yesterday.
It was still Guo Zirong who led the way, only to see him holding a hardwood bow, carrying a hunting knife, and carrying a quiver on his shoulder, swaggering slowly, and observing something from time to time, like an old hunter.
Everyone followed closely behind, occasionally learning Xiao Guo's posture and looking left and right, by the way, looking at Guo Shaoxia's figure in front, I don't know if it is really a special admiration for Guo Shaoxia's heroic appearance, or there is a funny meaning in it......
Chen Xiao watched the little fat man and the others imitate the strange appearance of Guo Zirong scouting the terrain, shook his head with a smile, walked straight forward, and quickly caught up with Guo Zirong.
"Xiao Guo, the place where there is the most likely place for survivors to appear in this neighborhood must be a relatively empty place, what do you think?" Chen Xiao's inquiring voice sounded behind Guo Zirong.
Guo Zirong glanced back at Chen Xiao, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Brother Xiao is right, I think so too, but I have been to several relatively empty places in the past two days, but the result is that I didn't find a single figure, the scale of this disaster is too large, luck is also very important to survive, sometimes in an open place may not be able to survive, I hid under that overpass at the beginning, but I picked up a life, do you say luck is not lucky?" ”
"Alas! Luck is important, otherwise we wouldn't have survived! But now we can only try, try to find all the open places and remaining buildings, and even if we end up in vain, we can die in our hearts! After thinking about Guo Zirong's words for a while, Chen Xiao shook his head and sighed.
"In that case, I'll accompany you to find a circle, anyway, there is nothing to do now! Let's go! Guo Zirong smiled bitterly and nodded in agreement, and continued to walk forward.
"Hmmm! There are Lao Xiaoguo brothers, hurry up and keep up! ”
Chen Xiao agreed, and after greeting a few people behind him, he also hurried towards Guo Zirong.
In this way, everyone went around the clothing city, and the morning passed quickly......
After Chen Xiao followed Guo Zirong to search most of the open areas and some relatively lightly damaged remnant buildings, except for a few surviving wild dogs and wild cats, there were some mutilated human corpses, and none of the other survivors were found......
After a busy morning, the only gain was to hunt a mutated medium-sized wild dog, and when everyone was resting in a low-lying area, they all became interested, especially Li Han, who looked depressed......
Chen Xiao took the apple that Ma Ying handed to him and pondered silently...... These are the last few apples, plus Guo Zirong, exactly one per person.
He knew that the chance to meet survivors in the future would undoubtedly be even more difficult, after such a large-scale search, he and the others did not encounter a single person, you can imagine, how many people in this city can survive, and I don't know what the casualties in other cities are, will it be luckier, will his hometown be less affected?
May God bless me and give my hometown some luck! Judging from the current situation, Li Han's parents are most likely unlucky, because it has been less than three days since the disaster, and it is impossible for them to go too far......
When Chen Xiao was thinking slowly, everyone also began to persuade and comfort Li Han, although Li Han was still a little uncomfortable, but his mood was quite stable, and he didn't cry, just silently shed tears.
After all, after a day of mental buffer, he was barely able to accept this cruel truth, so after everyone comforted and encouraged, he gradually regained a trace of strength......
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao stood up solemnly and said to Li Han: "Li Han, now that your parents are afraid of being killed, I hope Li Han can cheer up, because you still have our brothers, you have to live well for us, and in the future, your parents will be our parents, we will often come back to worship with you, and their spirits in the sky must also want to see you live peacefully and happily......"
"I'm going to go back to my hometown and the little fat man's hometown now, but it's three or four hundred kilometers away from this city, are you willing to accompany me? If you're together, you can take care of each other! If you don't, we'll see you later! After Chen Xiao persuaded Li Han, he told everyone his plan with a complicated face.
After speaking, he looked at Li Han, then looked at everyone, and waited for everyone's answer.
Although Li Han was a little sad at this time, and his eyes were a little red, after seeing Chen Xiao's inquiring eyes, he still nodded firmly and said, "Don't worry!" Brother Xiao, you will be my own brother in the future, the three of us said that we would go to each other's hometowns together to find relatives, and now my parents are probably gone, and I have nothing else to worry about here, no matter where you go in the future, I will follow! ”
The little fat man also changed his hippie smile in the past, and replied in an affirmative tone: "It is necessary to go with you, otherwise I will definitely not be able to return home alone, and I will follow you to eat and drink in the future!" If you just drive me away, I won't leave! ”
After pondering for a few breaths, Ma Ying also said in a resolute tone: "Brother Xiao, you not only saved my life, but also taught us carefully, I believe that I will never regret following you, my sister and I have no relatives now, I can only continue to follow you, and I hope you don't think we will hold you back!" ”
Ma Jing also had a resolute look, nodded, and then said, "That's right!" Brother Xiao, where can we two girls go? I can only pester you! You also promised to take us with you, but you can't go back! ”
After listening to everyone's reply, Chen Xiao nodded heavily at everyone, and cast a relieved look, and at the same time felt relieved.
Although he took the four of them for a day or two, they had established a deep friendship in the midst of adversity, and they trusted each other, and just now he also wanted to confirm everyone's wishes, after all, if they were going to travel a long way, they still had to nod and agree.
After Chen Xiao paused, he turned his gaze to Guo Zirong again, although he admired this young man with superb archery skills very much, and especially hoped that he could join his team, after all, his archery skills could add a lot of strength to this collective.
Another is that if he is left alone, he is afraid that he will be weak, and once he encounters danger, he will never be able to deal with it alone, although he has good archery skills......
Guo Zirong sensed Chen Xiao's gaze, and after pondering for a few breaths with a complicated expression, he said to everyone with a solemn face: "I know that everyone looks up to me, and I also know that you are all good people, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous for me to stay here alone!" But I don't want to leave this city and go so far away at the moment, after all, the disaster is over, there should be no big danger, if you will come back in the future, I will wait for you at home, and then we can continue to plan great things together. ”
When everyone saw that Guo Zirong was unwilling to follow everyone away, they couldn't help but show a look of loss and disappointment.
Seeing that Guo Zirong rejected his proposal, Chen Xiao sighed helplessly and said, "Okay! Xiao Guo, I won't force you anymore, I hope we can meet again in the future! You need to take care of yourself! Don't trust strangers easily! ”
Guo Zirong nodded with a clear expression, and pursed the corners of his dry mouth, and after deliberately laughing dryly, he said to everyone with a slightly apologetic tone: "Don't be unhappy, everyone!" After a while, I will accompany you to the parents of Brother Li Han to pay respects, and then I will send you to the main road to the north, and it will not be too late to say goodbye! We'll definitely meet again one day! ”
To be honest, he actually wanted to follow Chen Xiao and a few others to go on a journey in his heart, but all his relatives suddenly left him, and he didn't feel good for a while, and he just wanted to stay in this place where he had lived for many years, because there were his former relatives and friends, and he couldn't let go for a while.
Maybe it's because he's so confident in his archery skills that he thinks he can handle the next danger on his own! In addition, he has been independent since he was a child, so he will not rely on a team to live, which may have something to do with his withdrawn personality!
"Xiao Guo, since you have decided, I won't say anything more, but we still have to thank you for your hospitality yesterday and your help today! Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, you don't need to send too far for a while, you just grasp it yourself! ”
After Chen Xiao thanked Xiao Guo, he began to beckon everyone to prepare to continue on his way......
Guo Zirong nodded after listening to Chen Xiao's words, did not continue to speak, but silently led the way, but there was a trace of remorse on his face......
When everyone saw it, they couldn't persuade anything more, so they could only silently follow behind and hurry, and the atmosphere seemed a little silent for a while.
After Guo Zirong led Chen Xiao and the other five back to the cemetery of Li Han's parents, he went to the tomb to pay respects.
Chen Xiao and the five people also walked to the tomb one after another to kowtow and worship, Li Han had tears in his eyes, and said goodbye to his parents in his mouth, and the other four people also said some words of condolence, such as coming back often to pay respects and taking care of Li Hanyunyun......
After everyone worshipped, they continued to set off with Guo Zirong, the next stop on the road to find relatives, that is, whether Chen Xiao's hometown could have something to gain, everyone didn't know, they could only move forward silently with hope, what could they do in their hearts except pray?
There was nothing to say all the way, after everyone walked to the main road of the city from south to north, Guo Zirong stopped, he glanced back at Chen Xiao and others, and said in a slightly sentimental tone: "Friends, Xiao Guo will send you here today, I wish you a smooth journey, and can find your relatives as soon as possible, he has a chance to go back to this city to have a look, and then Zirong and I will definitely meet each other and work together with your brothers and sisters!" It's a long road ahead, so take care! ”
When Chen Xiao and the others heard this, they all said goodbye to Xiao Guo with a reluctant face......
"Don't worry! Brother Xiao Guo, everyone will definitely come back to see you in the future! We'll see you there! ”
"Haha, Guo Shaoxia, next time I am fat, I will have a good taste of the prey you hunted! You have to be prepared! ”
"Brother Guo, thank you for your help in the past two days, there will be a period in the future, please take care!"
"Xiao Guo, next time we meet, you have to teach my sister my archery kung fu, you have to wait for us to come back safely!"
"Yes! Oh, yes! When the time comes, we'll follow you to hunt, and you'll have to teach us how to do it! But you'll have to take care of yourself during this time! ”
After Guo Zirong said goodbye to everyone one by one, he suddenly became a little sad, will he really live alone in the future? How many more peers with such sincere personalities have met, and I don't know what year and month it is? Is it really right not to go with them yourself?
Even though parting is sentimental, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, my home is here, and there are still many things that I can't let go! Guo Zirong, who had made a decision, sighed, and after saying "take care" with embarrassment, he resolutely turned around and prepared to return the same way.
"Platoon Commander Zhang, there are people over there, and there is more than one!"
"Oh? Is it? Come with me, brethren! ”
At this moment, two abrupt voices suddenly sounded in the distance, which made everyone who was immersed in the sadness of parting turn their heads vigilantly......
Also, how did this first sound so familiar? The crowd's eyes widened in confusion......
