Chapter 26: Returning Home

Lu Li took Chrissy all the way. The once familiar streets have completely changed. Tents have been erected on both sides of the road.

Children happily frolicking on the side of the road. The woman sits in front of the tent and washes her clothes. Seeing those children playing happily, they all laughed heartily.

The disaster took away the loved ones of the survivors and destroyed society, but it could not stop the survivors from yearning for a stable life.

Lu Li went all the way, and his mood was very heavy. It's not wrong to yearn for a stable life. It is a life that everyone yearns for stability. No one wants to live in fear all day long.

However, a stable life can only be created by one's own hands, which is the real stability. Pinning their hopes on the troops, there is no awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Then, the stable life will be broken again.

Chrissy walked beside him, saw that his face was wrong, and asked in a curious whisper, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Li shook his head and smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, it's just a little sad." It's been too long since I've been home. ”

With that, he quickened his pace and walked towards his familiar home. Chrissy blinked. She looked at Lu Li's back, a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to herself.

"Sample, you still want to lie to me. Hum. ”

She walked a few quick steps, caught up with Lu Li, and followed. After a short time, the two came to a community. Dense tents have taken up almost all of the space.

The survivors nodded with a good-natured smile when they saw the two approaching. Lu Li smiled back and walked straight to Building 2. As soon as I arrived at the staircase, a fat aunt happened to come downstairs. As soon as she saw Lu Li, she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"Xiaoli, aren't you in N City? How did you get back? There is no outbreak of the virus in N City? ”

"Aunt Wang, you are blessed again."

Lu Li avoided answering, smiled hehe, and asked, "What about my mother?" At home, right? ”

"You kid, you're talking nonsense. Come with me, your dad has gone out to get food. Your mom is at home. ”

Aunt Wang glanced at him angrily, and then smiled and took his hand and walked upstairs. As she walked, she chattered, "It's been a bad time for your mother these days." I've been talking about you. ”

Lu Li smiled but said nothing, and his mood became a little excited. It's been three years, and I'm finally able to see my parents again. After a while, the three of them came to room 302 on the third floor. Aunt Wang was about to step forward and knock on the door, but Lu Li stopped her first.

He took out the key that he kept close to him and shook it in front of Aunt Wang. The latter suddenly realized and walked to the side with a smile. He pressed his excitement and slowly **** the key to the keyhole.

Click, the security door opens. He pushed open the door and was about to walk in to surprise his parents. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, four or five people inside set their eyes on him. There was a hint of alarm in their eyes, and their expressions were very nervous.

Lu Li was stunned. He didn't know them. He glanced around, but did not see his parents, and looked back at Aunt Wang hesitantly.

"Oh, I was so confused that I almost forgot about it."

Aunt Wang patted her head and explained embarrassedly: "It's messy everywhere now." We had a meeting with the people in this building, and every house was crowded to give some of the people who had suffered from the disaster a place to sleep. Lao Lu is good-hearted. There are seven people living in your house, all of whom are in distress. ”

"Well, it's fine."

Lu Li smiled and walked into his familiar home. As soon as she walked into the house, a middle-aged woman in her fifties hurriedly walked out of the room. As soon as she saw Lu Li, she was immediately surprised and delighted.

"Xiaoli."

"Mom, I'm back."

Lu Xuan's head was sour, and he walked forward quickly, hugging his mother tightly. Zhang Xiaoli burst into tears. She worries about her son, who is studying in college in N City, every day, and worries about whether her son will have an accident. Now that her son is finally standing alive in front of her, she looks at Lu Li's face, and she can't help herself for a while, and she cries with joy.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

The room full of people saw the two mothers and sons reunited, and remembered their lost relatives. Touching the scene for a moment, they all turned their heads away and secretly wiped away the tears that unconsciously gushed out.

Chrissy stood at the door, watching Lu Li's mother and son reunite, her expression became a little lonely. She remembered her mother, who had died. At this time, Aunt Wang on the side saw her standing at the door and enthusiastically pulled her in.

"Xiao Zhang, don't cry. Look at who your son brought back for you. ”

When Zhang Xiaoli saw Chrissy, she quickly wiped away her tears. She opened her mouth, but she didn't speak. It was also the first time she had faced a foreigner. If you want to say hello, you need to know how to speak English.

"Mom, let me introduce you. Her name is Chrissy and she is my friend. ”

Lu Li walked up to Chrissy and introduced, "This is my mother." ”

"Hello aunt."

Chrissy smiled sweetly and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand. Zhang Xiaoli was surprised and delighted, and shook hands with her: "You can also speak Chinese?" ”

"Well, my mother is Chinese."

"Come on, come on, come in and sit, don't stand all the time."

Zhang Xiaoli enthusiastically pulled Chrissy to the sofa. As soon as Chrissy sat down, she rubbed her hands together in embarrassment and explained apologetically: "Now it's messed up everywhere, and there is not even an apple." Don't be surprised. When his dad comes back, I'll cook you a few more good dishes. ”

"Thank you, auntie."

Chrissy smiled sweetly. At this time, Lu Li came over and asked, "When will my dad come back?" ”

"It's almost time to come back."

Zhang Xiaoli looked up at the clock. As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man walked in with half a bag of rice on his back. When he saw a few more people in his family, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Dad."

Lu Li stepped forward quickly and gave Lu Boguang a big hug.

"Alright, alright."

Lu Boguang's eyes were moist and pushed Lu Li away. He put down the rice bag and said angrily: "How old are they." It's not a child......"

Before he finished chattering, Zhang Xiaoli walked to Lu Li's side and supported him: "Dead old man, my son finally came back." What stinky shelves do you put on? I don't know who stood alone on the balcony last night in a daze until midnight. ”

Lu Boguang's old face turned red, and he still defended himself stiffly: "I'm thinking about the problem......"

Only half of the words were spoken, and Lu Li hugged the two of them. He hugged the two elders tightly, and tears unconsciously welled up in his eyes. It's been three years. I finally saw my parents again.

Lu Boguang heard his slight sobbing, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help crying. He didn't defend anymore, just opened his hands and held the two people he loved the most in his arms.

At this time, a baby cry suddenly sounded in the bedroom of Lu Boguang and his wife. Zhang Xiaoli hurriedly broke free from the embrace of Lu Li's father and son, and hurriedly walked into the bedroom.

Through the crack in the door, Lu Li saw Zhang Xiaoli picking up a baby from the bed. A woman of about twenty-five or sixteen years of age stood anxiously aside. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Who is she?"

"Her name is Zhang Xiaoxiao."

Lu Boguang sighed: "On the day the virus broke out, she and her husband fled to our community. I saw her as a pregnant woman, and I took them in. Unexpectedly, her due date arrived. I just gave birth to this child two days ago. ”

"Where's her husband?"

"Alas, nutrition can't keep up, and there is no milk after giving birth. He went into the city to look for milk powder. ”

When Lu Li heard this, he was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "How long has her husband been out?" ”

Lu Boguang thought for a while and replied uncertainly: "It seems to have been two hours." He had just left when I went out to collect rations. We still went downstairs together. ”

"Where did he say to find milk powder?"

"Huaxing supermarket, he said there might be milk powder there."

"Is there a picture of him?"

"Yes."

Lu Boguang walked into the bedroom. After a while, he walked out of the bedroom again. He came to Lu Li and handed an ID card to Lu Li.

"Okay, you all stay home. Don't go out, it's dangerous outside right now. ”

Lu Li took the photo, said a few words, and then turned around and walked to the door. As soon as he took a few steps, he turned back uncomfortably and said, "I'll close the door as soon as I leave." Except for me, no one else should be allowed in. ”

"Why?"

Lu Boguang frowned. He was a little upset. He has been helpful all his life, and he never expected his son to be so selfish. When people are in trouble, don't they take a hand?

Lu Li didn't care to explain, and looked up at Chrissy. The latter nodded knowingly. Only then did he walk out of the house with peace of mind. The door slammed shut, and he hurried down the stairs with a sinking face.

After a while, he walked out of the community and rushed straight to Huaxing Supermarket. He knows this supermarket, a bit far from the community. This is a new hypermarket that opened in the vicinity two years ago. Residents who live nearby love to go there for shopping. The price is not only cheap, but also often engages in special activities, which is deeply loved by aunts.

Unexpectedly, he didn't go far before he saw a group of thugs with colorful hair beating up a man. One of the green-haired people cursed, holding a can of milk powder in one hand, and slamming the steel pipe at the man with the other. The nearby survivors cowered and hid in the distance, as if they were terrified of the gangsters.

Lu Li took a deep breath, his heart heavy. This is one of the worst phenomena of the last days. It is also the phenomenon he hates the most.

He has the strength to bully the survivors, but he doesn't have the courage to face the zombies. This type of gangster only wastes limited resources.

He didn't blame the nearby survivors for standing by and watching. He knows it's a habit he's developed over the years. In today's society, acts of righteousness and courage have almost become a memory.

"Stop."

Lu Li walked forward quickly. A thug with green hair stopped in surprise when he heard a voice coming from behind him, and turned around. Seeing that Lu Li was alone, he immediately arrogantly lifted the steel pipe in his hand and scolded.

"Boy, don't meddle."

Lu Li's face was gloomy, and he stepped forward as if he had heard nothing. Seeing that he didn't listen to the persuasion, the green hair suddenly smiled evilly, picked up the steel pipe and smashed it at Lu Li fiercely.

"Ahh

A woman covered her eyes in horror when she saw this. The rest of the survivors turned their heads away, unable to bear to see the young man's blood splattered on the spot.

The steel pipe fell with the sound of whirring wind. The green hair smiled fiercely, as if he saw the fate of Lu Li's blood splashed on the spot. said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, Lu Li flew up and kicked him heavily on the waist.

Suddenly, the green hair screamed, and the whole person flew out upside down, smashing over several gangsters. The can of milk powder fell to the ground and rolled out of the distance, and then it was snuck up by a survivor in his fifties and hidden in his tent. Seeing that their companions were beaten, the rest of the gangsters quickly dispersed and surrounded Lu Li.

"Hit, beat him!"

The green fur is clearly a head. He clutched his waist and screamed frantically at Lu Li. The rest of the thugs rushed up. For a while, five or six steel pipes and three or four baseball bats smashed into Lu Li's face.

Bang!

Gunshots rang out. A thug clutched his thigh and screamed and fell. Lu Li put down his right hand holding the gun, and said calmly as if he was chatting with a friend.

", next time I'll not hit your legs, but your heads."

The police gun in Lu Li's hand shook these gangsters. The green-haired skeleton got up from the ground and fled desperately into the distance. Where do the rest of the gangsters dare to verify whether Lu Li is really so decisive. They hurried after Greenfur and fled in dismay.

Lu Li reinserted the police gun back into his waist, walked over to the person who was beaten, squatted down, and asked.

"Are you alright?"

"Thank you."

The man looked up and thanked him gratefully. Lu Li couldn't help but be stunned when he saw his appearance clearly. He pulled out the ID card, compared it carefully, and then asked.

"Are you Qiu Chengyu?"
