Chapter 196: The Idyllic Life of Old Age and Strength

Mrs. Cui kept talking, and she started quickly, so she easily grabbed a chicken in her hand and went to the kitchen: "Reporter Wang, you rest for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to get food." ”

Wang Lu hurriedly said: "I'll give Grandma a help." ”

Mrs. Cui waved her hand: "How can there be any reason to let the guests go to the stove, the man's family has not entered the kitchen, reporter Wang, you take your cousin to rest and rest." ”

There is this old rule in the countryside of Yonggang City, during the New Year's holidays, it has always been women who go to the stove, and men smoke and play cards to chat, Chen Wei used to go back to his hometown with Wang Lu and Wang Bi'an, no matter how angry he was in Sunshine City, he entered the door of his hometown and obediently went into the kitchen to fight, and Wang Lu was playing farts in the living room.

Xie Ling walked to Wang Lu's side and asked in a low voice, "Do you know this old lady?" ”

Wang Lu hurriedly said about himself, Chen Wei and Mrs. Cui's family: "This old lady has a daughter who works in Hong Kong, and she made a fuss of 50,000 yuan of oolong money, which her daughter sent home, and this is her daughter's home, but her daughter and son-in-law live in Yonggang City with her grandson and granddaughter, and she is full of children and grandchildren." ”

It's just that now the hall is full of zombies, otherwise, there would not be only Mrs. Cui and Old Man Chen alone.

Xie Ling pondered for a long time: "In this way, it's safe here." ”

Wang Lu understood what Xie Ling meant, what she meant was that Mrs. Cui and Old Man Chen, who had not yet met, would not secretly poison the two, and he hurriedly said: "Where do you want to go, why wait until this time if people want to harm us, if we don't open the door, we will already become zombies." When the old lady didn't recognize me, she was able to save two strangers to her house, and you were still worried about whether there were any of them. ”

Wang Lu's tone was a little heavy, but Xie Ling was not annoyed, but blushed a little, she also thought about it for a while, and regarded all the strangers as bastards like her classmates, it's just that in this biochemical apocalypse, there are people who maintain the kindness in their hearts, Li Haoran is, Wang Lu's family is, and so does this Mrs. Cui.

They are like a flame in the darkness, sustaining the hope of being human.

The chickens and ducks in the yard are not afraid of people, turning around at the feet of Wang Lu and Xie Ling, Xie Ling saw a few fluffy chicks pecking at her feet, the woman couldn't stand this fluffy little thing the most, and immediately squatted down, "gurgling" in her mouth, stroking the chick, and the chick also pecked Xie Ling's fingers with her small mouth, itching her to shrink her hand and laugh.

Wang Lu turned to the rabbit cage, the rabbits were chewing the leaves, and they didn't hide when they saw people, they only stared at Wang Lu with red eyes, they were the most common otter rabbits in the farm, they were extremely fat, squatting in the bamboo cage like a big white hairball, and they couldn't turn around.

Wang Lu broke a few leaves from a pile of greens placed in a bamboo basket next to him, stretched them into the cage, and the rabbits sniffed, poked their heads over, and chewed them carefully with their three mouths.

Xie Ling also ran over, picked up some green leaves, and sprinkled them on the chickens.

At one moment, the feet of the two were crowded with chickens and ducks competing for food, and even the old cow under the tree poked its head out, and its tongue curled up to eat vegetable leaves.

Xie Ling wanted to feed it, but looking at the cow's huge body and sharp horns, this was a buffalo, but she didn't have the courage to lean over.

Wang Lu comforted: "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't go behind its buttocks, it won't hurt you if you touch its head." ”

Xie Ling was surprised: "What if you go behind its ass?" ”

Wang Lu smiled: "Be careful that it kicks you with its hind legs." ”

Xie Ling picked up a few greens as she said, stretched out her arm and probed to the buffalo's mouth, the buffalo rolled its tongue, and rolled the greens like a toothpick for it into its big mouth, Xie Ling had the courage to touch its head, and the buffalo looked at Xie Ling with watery eyes, and there was really no trace of temper.

Mrs. Cui walked out of the kitchen, saw this scene and said with a smile: "This old cow doesn't work in the field every day, just know how to eat, you see, it's getting fatter and fatter." ”

As he was talking, the door in the corner of the courtyard suddenly clicked, and Mrs. Cui said, "The old man is back." ”

As soon as the door opened, a bamboo basket was filled with a chubby bean clip, and the one who carried the flat burden was a tall and thin old man wearing the camouflage uniform that the peasants loved to wear when they went to the fields.

As soon as the old man entered the door, he was stunned - he didn't expect to see two strangers, Wang Lu and Xie Ling, in the courtyard.

Mrs. Cui hurriedly rushed up, closed the door with one hand, and took the burden on her wife's shoulders with the other, and her mouth kept talking: "Old man, look at who is coming from our family?" It's Reporter Wang, the reporter Wang who used to help us get money from the credit union. ”…,

Wang Lu has a black line on his head, when did he become a debt collector? took the initiative to take a few steps: "Uncle Chen, do you still recognize me?" Wang Lu, the ...... of the newspaper"

"I recognize it, how can I not recognize it, you later married the most beautiful girl in our village, Mr. Xiao Chen, speaking of which, my family and Mr. Xiao Chen's family are still a little distant, and they are a family. Alas, Teacher Xiao Chen is also a good person, and Reporter Wang, you are also a good person, God has good rewards. Old man Chen hurriedly put down his flat shoulder, wiped his hands on the placket of his camouflage uniform, and held Wang Lu's hand: "Reporter Wang hasn't seen you for a long time, you, are you here to play?" ”

Wang Lu - Petrification.

Xie Ling snickered.

Mrs. Cui patted her wife: "This old thing, what is it called to play, and I don't look at what year it is." ”

The four of them finally sat down on the sofa in the living room, Mrs. Cui cut a watermelon, and the four of them chatted while eating watermelon.

Wang Lu said a little about his family's escape from the city to Yashan and then to Houlong Village, and the old man Chen knew the mountain on the edge of Yinjiang Town: "This mountain originally didn't have any name, and I often climbed it to play when I was a child. Xie Ling naturally became Xiao Xie), you can still live comfortably on the mountain, now there is a dragon king temple on the mountain, what do you want. ”

Wang Lu said with a smile: "I'll just ask for safety, and besides, it's not bad on the mountain now, I killed a lot of zombies in Yinjiang Town, and now I don't have to worry about eating and drinking." By the way, Uncle Chen, how is this village? ”

Mrs. Cui hurriedly said, "What else?" At that time, many people in the village were sick, and some people spread the epidemic of the time, so scared that the old man and I did not dare to go out, and I specially called my daughter and asked them not to come to the village, but my daughter said that there were cases in the city. Later, the phone and mobile phone couldn't get through, and the village became more and more chaotic, and some village cadres came to say that it was better for everyone to stay at home and not go out. Some people are clever, and the cadres let you stay at home, but he just ran outside, and many people who had cars at home ran away. The old man and I thought that we couldn't go to the children's house, in case we had the epidemic on our bodies, and we didn't trap the whole child's family, so we would stay at home. Who thinks more and more unlikely, some patients in the village actually gnawed on people, and even tore down the belt meat, alas, that miserable, scared me to hide at home and chant Buddha. Later, as you can see, the whole village has become the living dead. ”

Wang Luqi said: "But I haven't seen many zombies in the village - well, it's the living dead you said." Although Wang Lu and Xie Ling were cornered by the zombies in the village committee, it was mainly limited by the terrain, purely in terms of quantity, the two of them did not see many zombies in the village, that is, counting the zombies encountered from the villa to the base station to the village committee, all of them added up to less than 20.

Old man Chen said "hey": "Most of them are in school." ”

Wang Luqi said: "At school? ”

Old man Chen lit a cigarette and smacked his lips: "Many dolls in the village primary school are sick, some of them were taken home by their parents, and some of them became directly in the classroom......

Xie Ling interjected: "What are those zombies going to school for, is there anything special there?" ”。

Mrs. Cui said: "What else can there be, my own baby is in school, even if it is a zombie, I must think about my baby in my heart, anyway, many zombies in the village have run to the school." In order to prevent them from escaping out of the scourge, the old man tried to lock the school gate. ”

Wang Lu remembered the chain lock at the school gate, and the headless corpse hanging from the doorman's window: "Uncle, you are really powerful, the doorman killed that zombie, right?" Quite a few words"

Old man Chen said slowly: "It's nothing, it's just to lock the door, and finally have a little bit of strength, that zombie is so stupid to death, when he climbed out of the window, he hung it on the window frame, I also killed pigs and slaughtered cows when I was young, and it was really nothing to cut off a head or something." ”

Get old and strong. The sword is not old.

Old man Chen asked Wang Lu: "Both members of the Zhang family are dead, right?" A lot of words" Seeing that Wang Lu was confused, he said: "The one who lives in the big villa by the stream, the house is very new, by the way, the pickup truck next to the village committee that hit the door of the store is his family, and the pickup truck was driven by you, right?" Quite a few words"...,

Wang Lu understood, and the two members of the Zhang family asked by Old Man Chen were the old couple who had eaten half of their old wife, so they told what they saw.

Old Man Chen and Mrs. Cui were silent for a long time, and Old Man Chen clapped his hands at the end: "What do you say is this?" Xiao Wang, you are a cultural person and have a lot of knowledge, tell me, what's the matter, why doesn't this country take care of it? ”

Wang Lu sweated in the Nicaraguan waterfalls, this matter, no matter how cultured people are, there is no recruitment, and it is precisely the so-called cultural people who are not diligent in their limbs and die the fastest.

Wang Lu could only tell him all about his understanding of Resident Evil, and he was a little cautious, because he understood that the old couple had daughters, sons-in-law, and grandchildren, which was equivalent to telling them: Your relatives have become zombies.

After listening to Wang Lu's analysis, Old Man Chen and Mrs. Cui were unexpectedly calm, Old Man Chen pressed the cigarette butt to the ground and rubbed it with his feet: "People, they always have to die, and those who die should not live." Old woman, you should pretend that they are all dead. ”

Wang Lu couldn't bear to say: "It's not all dead, you see, don't we all live well, there is still hope." ”

Old man Chen shook his head: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren who are rich, and we ourselves are half-cut people, so we have already seen it." Xiao Wang, what did you just say that we are all carrying viruses now, you say, if I die, will I also become a zombie? ”

It's really hard to say, Wang Lu hesitated for a while: "Maybe." ”

Old man Chen said "hey": "It's really going to be tossed if you die." Old woman, I'll have to trouble you to give me a knife when the time comes. Alas, after that, there was not even a person who went to the grave to burn paper money. ”

Mrs. Cui patted her wife: "If you want to die in front of me, I can still send you to the ancestral grave, I am the one who is really no one to send it." ”

Seeing the two old men and old ladies talking lightly about life and death, Wang Lu was speechless, and glanced at Xie Ling, she also looked weird.

Mrs. Cui looked at the two young people - in her eyes, Wang Lu was actually a young man, and said with a smile: "You should just talk crazy things to the old man, when we are at this age, we can also see everything, everything is false, and it is true that there are people around you to accompany you." ”

Wang Lu scratched his head, hehe smirked, Xie Ling lowered his eyebrows, thoughtful.

Mrs. Cui Zhang asked everyone to have dinner, the dishes were very rich, the whole chicken was the main dish, roasted beans, fried potato cakes, fried small fish, braised night flowers, boiled peanuts, fried chicken hairy vegetables, and a table was always set.

Mrs. Cui couldn't help but say, two chicken legs, one for Wang Lu and Xie Ling: "Eat, eat more." If you don't eat, the old man and I won't be able to finish it, and after the night, it's time to be rancid, don't waste it, eat more. ”

Wang Lu and Xie Ling have anything else to say, stuff them in their stomachs.

Wang Lu asked Old Man Chen vaguely while eating: "Uncle, is there a second degree of infection in your village?" "I told you about the second infection again.

Old man Chen was a little surprised, and thought for a while: "The Guo family in the east of the village didn't leave, and stayed in the village with his wife, their house is by the stream, and it is more convenient for me to walk in and out of the field, I saw him in the field last month, and I said hello and stood and smoked a cigarette, and I haven't seen him since." I thought he was gone, but according to what you said, Xiao Wang, it seems that he was infected for the second time, and he and his wife are gone. ”

Xie Ling said in surprise: "Are there many people in the village who stay like the old man?" ”。

Old man Chen said: "There are about four or five families, several of them are lonely and old, and there is nowhere to go, anyway, they are almost old, and they can't go outside to earn their lives, and they will die at home." Anyway, there is no shortage of food and clothing in the village for the time being, several supermarkets and grocery stores have been emptied by everyone, and there are many things in the fields. Hey, these days, it always reminds me of the days when the big canteen was opened in the brigade a few decades ago, and everyone was open to eat. It's just that at that time, after eating all the things after eating, everyone began to go hungry, and now there are so many things in the field that they can't eat them all, and they are rotting in the mud. ”

Wang Lu is the origin of the empty supermarket in Zhilu Road.

Xie Ling was confused, listening to Old Man Chen say it so easily, as if they were living in a peaceful village, with harmonious neighbors and chickens and dogs, instead of being surrounded by zombies like now. She couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid of those zombies?" ”。

"Why aren't you afraid?" Mrs. Cui said: "At first, we didn't know what the hell it was, but later we also knew that we were bitten and caught, and we would become like that." But no matter how scared we are, life always has to pass, but we have lived in this village for many years, and we are familiar with the corners and corners, and we can always avoid those monsters and go to the fields to beg for a living. ”…,

Mrs. Cui said indifferently and casually, but Wang Lu knew how thrilling it was to struggle to survive in this group of zombies.

He couldn't help but look at Uncle Chen with admiration, the old man should be in his 70s, but his waist is still tough, and he can still do farm work and kill zombies, so the real heroes come from the people.

The four of them chatted while talking, and Wang Lu also learned about Houlong Village, which is mainly agricultural, and of course there are some small factories.

"Make a flashlight." Uncle Chen said, "The multi-functional flashlight is exported, bought in small Japan, Europe, I heard the factory people say, the most advanced flashlight, is used to explore in the underground holes, old expensive, but also thief bright thief bright, thumb-sized things, can shine far away, with a long time." ”

"And the telephones." Mrs. Cui said, "What kind of subcontracting, I used to help make the telephone button, and now there is a small manual machine at home." ”

Flashlights, telephones, these things are not usable, Wang Lu asked tentatively: "Is there any other factory that makes clothes?" Food-making? ”

Old man Chen said: "I haven't heard of a food factory in the nearby village that makes clothes, a food factory, and canned bamboo shoots, but now it's long past the bamboo shoot harvest season, and the factory is closed." ”

Wang Lu was depressed, and Mrs. Cui said, "What are you looking for a factory for?" The factory in Yinjiang Town is big, and the OUX air-conditioning factory is in Yinjiang. ”

Air conditioner, this thing has a now.

Wang Lu did not give up: "Are there any other factories?" ”

Old man Chen slapped the table: "By the way, there is also a stone carving factory (he didn't go into detail when he saw Wang Lu's bitter face), and there is an electric bicycle factory, called Ariston's." ”

Wang Lu is interested, the electric bicycle is good, the short-distance round trip is convenient compared to the car, and with solar panels, the charging problem is solved, especially there will be a lot of batteries in the factory, which is a baby.

"Where's the factory?" Wang Lu asked urgently.

Old man Chen pointed with a weak hand: "After leaving the village, you will walk 3 miles to arrive." He lit another cigarette: "It turned out that the factory was built in the village, but the villagers said that the battery was poisonous, so they let him move out of the village." But because the newly built factory is next to the stream, everyone said that the poison of the battery will flow into the stream, and it has been a long time. ”

Wang Lu almost fell headlong, Uncle Chen, he didn't like to talk like this, he hung people's appetite, this is, daring to love is a ...... for Bai Huanxi,
