Chapter 62: Happy Man
Long Yang is a happy man, he has always thought so.
His wife is a playmate of childhood sweethearts, and after decades of long-distance love, she finally achieved positive results and successfully got married.
With the blessing of relatives and friends, the two kissed each other, and at that moment, Longyang was happy.
After getting married, the two lived a small life without shame and impatience, only envious of mandarin ducks and not immortals, and soon had a lovely baby.
During the time when the baby was born, it was really exhausting for the new young parents.
But fortunately, as the days go by, those techniques that seemed complicated and abnormal before, and the days of the young couple have returned to their former sweetness after a period of chaos.
Longyang also happened to be appreciated by the leaders during that time, and his position was promoted and his salary increased.
The family and business were both harvested, and at that moment, Longyang was happy.
One day at work, in the process of crowding the bus, I accidentally gave up my seat to an elderly but fashionably dressed old man, and before getting off the bus, the old man took out a stack of lottery tickets from his pocket, and asked the young well-wisher to draw one, humorously as a thank you gift for giving up his seat.
Longyang was in a hurry to get to work, and he didn't insist on anything, so he took one out of his hand and put it in his briefcase and rushed to the company.
That night, Longyang's wife somehow, suddenly became interested in the lottery, and asked Longyang to go downstairs to buy one, which made him remember that there seemed to be a lottery ticket given by a fashionable old man in his briefcase, so he turned it out and handed it to his wife.
Then came the dramatic scene.
Longyang's wife took the lottery ticket in her hand and compared them one by one with the lottery numbers on TV, and suddenly let out a scream of surprise.
This frightened Long Yang, who was washing the dishes, and thought that his wife had seen a cockroach or something, so he hurriedly rushed out of the kitchen and looked around.
But the shadow of the cockroach didn't notice it, but he found that his wife was happily closing her mouth on the sofa.
"Hit! I actually hit Longyang! Won 50 million! Hahahaha......"
Longyang felt like he was in a dream, and it wasn't until he went to the bank with his wife and clearly saw the extra numbers on the account that he woke up like a dream.
At that moment, Longyang was happy.
But after the young couple obtained this huge wealth, they did not spend all their time drinking and squandering it wantonly.
After some discussion, the two left half of the prize money and donated the rest to Hope Primary School, I heard that this money, together with the donation of an anchor called PDD, has built several beautiful schools in the mountainous area, which directly solves the problem of local children's difficulty in going to school.
At that moment, Longyang was happy.
With a little spare money in hand, Longyang, who usually has a wide range of hobbies, began to think about how to realize his dream.
In the end, among many wishes, Longyang chose to build a small new aquarium at home and raise some marine life.
Perhaps it was the psychology of curiosity, Longyang chose a beautiful and deadly mollusk - the blue-ringed octopus among many strange sea creatures.
Originally, this dangerous marine animal should not be touched by a novice breeder like Longyang, but the seller was probably moved by money, and the ghost sent it to this young man.
The conditions for raising blue-ringed octopus are very harsh, but fortunately, Longyang at this time has the 'money ability', and after several failures, he gradually became comfortable raising this beautiful creature.
At that moment, Longyang was happy.
After that, the happy little life that belonged to Longyang was still unhurried until he got up that day.
That day, Longyang was woken up by a burst of screams, accompanied by noisy human voices and the sound of stampedes on each other.
Longyang looked out of the window in a daze, and was surprised to find that the passers-by on the street seemed to be crazy, biting and eating each other.
In a panic, he immediately dialed the police number in his hand, but there was only a busy sound over and over again from the microphone, and he couldn't get through at all.
He immediately turned on the Internet and TV, searched for relevant content in the news, and soon got a general idea.
It turned out that there was a riot, and it seemed that there was an outbreak of a terrible infectious disease.
In response to the government's call, ordinary people should stay at home as much as possible, reduce going out, and wait for government rescue.
At this time, Longyang looked at his wife and children beside him, and said with a little joy in his heart.
"Fortunately, my wife and children are fine, and they just bought food yesterday, so it's okay to stay at home for a while."
At this moment, Longyang is still happy.
He doesn't care about the earth-shattering changes that happen outside, he has absolute trust in the government, and his mentality is still positive and optimistic after the catastrophe.
But change seems to be happening quietly.
The first thing to change was the blue-ringed octopus in the tank.
Since the blue-ringed octopus has relatively high requirements for water quality, Longyang adds sea salt to fresh tap water every day to supply it to the fish tank.
But somehow, the tank full of blue-ringed octopuses died day by day, until finally, there was only one left in the tank.
And the remaining blue-ringed octopus actually grew to the size of a watermelon.
You must know that the blue-ringed octopus is no larger than the size of an adult's fist, and it is a naturally small octopus.
Although Longyang was puzzled, he watched this octopus grow up by himself, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, just because this octopus didn't have the food of his companions, and it was nutritious and rich that it grew so big.
At this time, he has more headaches to deal with.
His child was sick.
High fever, 38 degrees Celsius.
Longyang was so anxious that he wanted to take his child out to see a doctor several times, but looking at the 'madmen' wandering on the street, he withdrew his hand to open the door, and could only use soil methods to cool the child at home, praying that the fever would be reduced as soon as possible.
During this period, Longyang changed the water of the blue-ringed octopus again, and for some reason, the blue-ringed octopus in the fish tank always stared at him with those weird eyes, and before he was about to change the water, he also sprayed some blue things into the tank.
Longyang, who was tormented by the child's high fever, naturally didn't pay much attention to it, and after hastily changing the water, he went to bed.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
Longyang was surprised to find that his child's forehead was cold and faint, there was no sign of fever at all, and he was also very energetic, and he was able to run back and forth in the living room like a happy puppy.
The only strange thing is that the child's eyes seem to change when he looks at him, which makes him feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he can't remember where he has seen it for a while.
And the floor of the living room was full of water stains, and the blue-ringed octopus in the water tank floated on the surface of the water, motionless.
"This last one, after all, is still dead."
Long Yang lamented in his heart, put on rubber gloves, and took the body out of the fish tank.
"Heh, it's quite heavy, almost catching up with a child's weight."
Weighing the octopus corpse in his hand, Long Yang muttered to himself.
Although the octopus died, it was a good thing that his child was healthy.
While thinking, Long Yang threw the body into a plastic bag, tied it and put it aside.
At this moment, he was happy......
In order to be able to persevere until the arrival of rescue, the Longyang family of three adopted a plan to reduce physical exertion, that is, to lie down and rest in addition to eating, so that even if they only eat one meal a day, they will not feel very hungry.
And most of the daily food is naturally to give priority to satisfying Longyang's children, after all, in his heart, when the child is still growing up, he can't be hungry.
"My wife and I are both adults, didn't the book say that if people don't eat, they can last at least ten days, let's eat less and leave more for our children."
Long Yang thought so in his heart, and closed his eyes tiredly.
His wife lay beside him, motionless.
"I have wronged your wife, when this epidemic is over, I will take you out to eat hot pot."
Murmuring in his mouth, Long Yang's arm gently rested on his wife, and his wife seemed to feel it, her body trembled slightly, and she didn't move anymore.
At this moment, he was happy......
Longyang slept this time, I don't know how long he slept, and when he woke up again, he found that it was dark around him, there was no light, and what woke him up was a faint knock on the door, and someone seemed to be shouting something outside the door, as if it was a rescue team or something......
"Yes, did you come to save us?"
Struggling to get up from the bed, Longyang moved in the direction of the gate.
"Is it night? Why is it so dark around and there is no light at all......"
Long Yang thought in his heart, but the movements under his feet did not stop, and he came to the door with a familiar car.
"We are a rescue team, we have come to rescue you, we have plenty of food and water there, open the door quickly!"
Outside the door there was another shout, the sound of which flickered and flickered, like a whale sunk to the bottom of the water struggling to communicate with the seabirds in the sky.
Long Yang fumbled around the wall for a while, trying to turn on the lights to let there be some light in the room, but the switch didn't respond to his flip.
"Looks like there's a power outage......"
Thinking frustrated in his heart, Long Yang hurriedly replied.
"Ah, that's it, that's great, I'm going to open the door, my wife and children have been hungry for a long time, and it's finally time for the rescue team!"
As he spoke, he touched the handle of the door and tried to open it.
But everything around me was slippery and greasy, like the wet feeling when the rainy season was wet, and after groping for a while, I finally touched the doorknob and pulled it down with all my strength.
"Great...... It's finally time for you......"
The dazzling white light shone in through the crack in the door, and suddenly Longyang couldn't open his eyes, although he didn't know what the situation was now, but what he could be sure of was that his wife and children were about to be saved, and the government had not forgotten them!
At this moment, he was happy......
"Why is this door so heavy?"
Long Yang closed his eyes and thought strangely.
"Oh, look at my stupidity, I've been hungry for so long, I'm so weak that I can't even push a door, haha, I'm still saved, saved......"
Laughing at himself in his heart, Long Yang pressed his body against the door and pushed it outward.
"You ...... It's finally here......"
As if he was afraid that the rescuers outside the door were in a hurry, Long Yang spoke again, and at the same time, he felt the weight of the door more and more, he had obviously pressed the weight of his whole body on the door, why couldn't he push it open?
"Maybe it's because I've been hungry for too long."
Long Yang felt that not only his body, but also his own brain was gradually moving away, floating in endless darkness.
Suddenly, a great idea occurred to him.
He is so weak that he can't open the door, so he can let the people outside open the door!
In this way, Long Yang once again gathered his strength to his chest and squirmed his lips.
"You ...... Come on in......"
