Chapter 222: Faith and Survival

One big and one small hands touched each other through a thin layer of flesh, and Mu Tang couldn't help but light up his eyes after experiencing the initial fright.

If this is something that can no longer be ordinary before the end of the world, it means.

It is probably the touch of death and rebirth, the body that has been permanently stopped touches the vigorous life that represents hope.

Mu Tang even bent down and put his ear on his belly after getting permission.

The evolved zombie body gave her super senses, and Mu Tang could even hear the heartbeat of a young fetus.

It's a whole new experience.

Lin Wu patted his stomach lightly and asked softly:

"What's your name?"

Mu Tang raised his head and looked at her:

"My name is Mu Tang!"

Lin Wu nodded, thought about it and said:

"You should be younger than me, then I'll call you Xiao Mu."

She seems to have a natural affinity, coupled with the maternal brilliance exuded by pregnancy, Mu Tang didn't hate this person at all, and agreed without thinking about it.

With a gentle smile on the corner of Lin Wu's mouth, his face was full of expectations for a new life, quietly feeling every turn of the baby in his womb, and the two children also sat obediently on the side, quietly watching this scene.

Ah Yun's mother sat on the sidelines and watched, with mixed feelings in her heart.

There is expectation for a newborn child, but more often there is worry about the child after it is born.

Lin Wu's body is too weak, it is simply taboo to be pregnant in the last days, and such a young child is likely to drag down everyone around him.

What's more, her husband is no longer alive.

Ah Yun's mother twitched the corners of her mouth, and a sudden irritability suddenly churned in her heart.

Lin Wu is Ah Yun's teacher, and she and her husband are both teachers at Ah Yun's school, and they happened to meet in the last days.

As a single mother, she took Ayun to receive a lot of care from Lin Wu and her husband, and she was full of gratitude, and several people lived a difficult life with two children in the last days.

Originally, the materials were only enough to maintain their minimum life, who knew that Lin Wu was actually pregnant, in order for Lin Wu to be able to support herself, she and Lin Wu's husband had to go out to find more supplies.

The surrounding shops have long been looted, and if you want to find supplies, you have to go to farther and more dangerous places, and Lin Wu's husband did not come back.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, but on the third day after Lin Wu's husband died, the soldiers of the Tongcheng base appeared in front of them like gods and took the desperate few people back to the base.

In the dark hell, the country has not given up on them, this is the first time she realizes what is called the "home" of the country, and the sense of belonging is very strong.

To be honest, although she was full of envy when she saw Mu Tang, she didn't feel hatred.

After all, the world has always been fair, how much ability there is, how much treatment she enjoys, even if it is not Mu Tang's own ability, it is also her family and friends who have exchanged it for a greater price.

So she never felt that fate was unfair, but kept telling herself that if she wanted something better, she had to work hard.

For so many years, she has been alone with her children, and she has never complained.

Only now, she suddenly felt a little tired.

Without him, Lin Wu, like her husband, always guards that sense of morality and duty, and is never willing to use some sideways to fight for "benefits" for herself.

The couple has always believed that "what they get is what they deserve", and they never take the initiative to calculate, let alone ask for it.

This made Ah Yun's mother feel tired, if before the end of the world, she really hoped that her child could become like Lin Wu and his wife.

The breeze is bright and the moon is upright, teaching and educating people, and the fragrance of books is full.

But there is no way, in such an environment, how can you use to live with such a heart?

Even though she knew that Lin Wu was absolutely unwilling to drag her down, if she wasn't helping, Lin Wu wouldn't have a word of complaint.

But she couldn't ignore Lin Wu, she couldn't just let her get weaker and weaker.

The child will be born in a month, and according to Lin Wu's weak state, it is also possible that he will be born prematurely, and he may have two lives at that time.

Ah Yun's mother looked at Mu Tang, who was out of place in this messy and cramped room, and really couldn't control her idea of not beating her.

The other half, Mu Tang, finally had enough of this "wonderful" belly, straightened up with satisfaction, and then asked the question that made the room quiet for a moment:

"Is it a new human cub in the belly? How can I have this? ”

There was silence in the room, and the question was similar to the child's question, "Mom and Dad, where am I from?"

If it's a child, you can prevaricate that he picked it up from the garbage heap, or gave it away with phone bills.

But the reality is that it was a little girl who asked this question who seemed to be quite small, and it would be too perfunctory to answer it in that kind of way.

Lin Wu's hand gently stroking his stomach paused, then his eyes were a little complicated, and he thought for a while and asked:

"How old are you this year?"

Facing Mu Tang, who looked ignorant and ignorant, Lin Wu subconsciously talked to her with a hint of coaxing a child.

Mu Tang didn't feel anything, and said with a big grin:

"I don't know, but Lu Yan said that I may be in my twenties!"

Through Mu Tang's series of actions and words, Lin Wu has already concluded that this little girl may not be mentally mature.

So when she heard that there was a new name in Mu Tang's mouth, the teacher's instinct made her sharp for a moment, hesitated again and again, and still asked in a coaxing tone:

"Who is Lu Yan, is he your good friend?"

Mu Tang nodded, and then shook his head:

"We're good friends, but we're also husband and wife!"

When he heard the word "husband and wife", Lin Wu gasped, forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and then asked:

"That'...... Do you know what a couple is? ”

Mu Tang nodded as a matter of course:

"Of course, husband and wife are the ones who want to be together forever and forever!!"

This answer was ambiguous, and Lin Wu automatically classified it as a perverted rhetoric to coax children, and asked with difficulty:

"Xiao Mu...... Do you sleep alone or with Lu Yan at night, or by yourself? ”

Mu Tang looked at her strangely:

"Lu Yan and I are husband and wife, of course we sleep together, and we have a good night kiss every night!"

Lin Wu's scalp was numb when he heard this, and finally squeezed out his doubts:

"Goodnight kiss, how did you kiss?"

Mu Tang then became even more strange and pointed to his lips:

"It's mouth-to-mouth, aren't all goodnight kisses like this?"

Lin Wu began to feel that it was difficult to breathe, if it was just a guess just now, then through these few words, she could be sure that the "Lu Yan" in Mu Tang's mouth was the criminal who bewitched the ignorant girl.

Looking at Mu Tang's beautiful face and ignorant eyes, Lin Wu immediately remembered the female student who was molested in his school, his little face was helpless and desperate destroyed by the darkness, and the faint voice of "Teacher Lin" who was carefully hiding behind the door, and his heart rate began to be abnormal for a while.

Ah Yun's mother saw that her face was not quite right, and immediately stood up and stepped forward quickly:

"What's wrong?"

Lin Wu held her hand and shook her head:

"It's okay......"

Then he looked at Mu Tang seriously and said patiently:

"Xiao Mu, husband and wife are not as simple as you think, not only the two of you, but also the two families. When two people become married, the first thing to do is to inform your parents, and the most important thing is to know clearly what it means to get married, and it will completely change your life. You will become a mother like me, and you will have to take on the responsibility of raising the offspring......"

"Lin Wu." Ah Yun's mother let out a low cry, motioning for her not to say so much.

If you don't want to take advantage of this little girl, forget it, don't offend the people behind her again.

Looking at the little girl's dress, the person behind her must have a high status, and if she accidentally offends, it will not be good if she can't even stay at the base.

Besides, they themselves are so embarrassed, so don't worry about how others are doing, no matter what the person Mu Tang said has done, at least let Mu Tang be well fed and clothed.

Is there anything more important in the last days?

Of course, Lin Wu knew what she meant, but there was still disapproval in his eyes.

Ah Yun's mother took a deep breath, stood up directly, and interrupted:

"Okay, aren't you hungry, let's eat."

The two children instantly cheered.

In fact, it is not so much about eating as it is about filling hunger.

I saw Ah Yun's mother carefully take out a pitted aluminum pot from the corner, open the lid, and there were a few boiled potatoes lying quietly inside.

Ah Yun's mother first picked out the largest potato and handed it to Lin Wu's hand, then hesitated for a moment, and finally picked a medium-sized potato and handed it to Mu Tang.

And then there were the two children.

As for herself, she carefully picked up the smallest potato in the pot, skimmed it in half, and then put the remaining half back in the pot.

Lin Wu glanced at it and didn't say anything, but directly left half of the potato in his hand and stuffed it into Ah Yun's mother's hand.

"I don't need it, you need nutrition, you eat first......" Ah Yun's mother refused.

"Alright, Sister Yun." Lin Wu's eyes were full of seriousness, and his tone was flat but could not be refused:

"You know my temperament, I can't eat it if you don't eat it."

Ayun's mother had no choice but to take the potatoes.

Mu Tang took the potato in her hand and watched silently beside her, in fact, she couldn't understand why even the potatoes had to be humble to each other, after all, this kind of thing Lu Yan had always used to make snacks for her.

Following the example of the two children, Mu Tang tore off the outer skin, and then took a bite.

The potatoes have been cooled all the way without any seasoning, and the weather has been cold recently, so it doesn't taste good in the mouth, all the way from the throat to the stomach.

does not have the delicate taste of the mashed potatoes that Lu Yan made for her, so it can be said that the two cannot be compared at all.

Mu Tang puffed out his cheeks and chewed, watching the two children next to him eat with relish, quietly broke off the other half of the potato he hadn't bitten and hid it in his hand, then stuffed the remaining half into his mouth and chewed it hard.

After a while, Mu Tang was pleasantly surprised to find that after a long time, the unique aroma of potatoes floated up, which was actually quite delicious, so Mu Tang chewed with relish.

Ah Yun's mother noticed this scene and lowered her eyes:

Sure enough, this thing is not eye-catching, and it must be difficult to swallow after chewing for so long. I knew that I would give her a smaller one, so that she wouldn't have to pretend to throw it away inadvertently and waste it when the time comes.

The little potato was swallowed into the stomach by the two children, and then they looked at Lin Wu with a blank look.

Lin Wu smiled as usual, and then secretly skimmed his potatoes a little, and was just about to give them to the two children, but Mu Tang held his hand.

Mu Tang squeezed his eyebrows and grimaced at Lin Wu, then divided the potatoes he had just left into the hands of the two children, and whispered:

"Eat fast, eat fast!"

Ah Yun's mother on the side was ready to secretly follow Mu Tang later, and then picked up the potatoes she had thrown back, but she didn't expect to see this scene when she raised her eyes.

Looking at the satisfied faces of the two children, she was slightly stunned, and then the corners of her mouth uncontrollably hooked up a smile.

Mu Tang was very happy to be a guest at the home of two new friends, stayed for a long time, and made an appointment with the two children for the next time to play, before preparing to go back.

Lin Wu still couldn't control himself in the end, took Mu Tang's hand, and whispered:

"Xiao Mu, don't sleep with others casually, you have to learn to protect yourself, girls have their own space to be alone......"

Mu Tang nodded as if he didn't understand, Lin Wu was still relieved, and just about to say something more, he was dragged by Ah Yun's mother.

Ah Yun's mother glanced at Mu Tang and said meaningfully:

"Okay, hurry up and go back to rest, the baby is about to be born, you just eat some potatoes, and if you don't rest, it's more likely to have an accident......"

Mu Tang heard her words and looked at Lin Wu's stomach thoughtfully.

Ah Yun's mother was relieved when she heard it, and then she looked at Lin Wu disapprovingly.

Lin Wu looked away, stepped forward and touched Mu Tang's head, and said softly:

"Okay, go back quickly, or you'll be worried."

Mu Tang nodded, waved goodbye to them, and trotted towards the military region.

It wasn't until her back disappeared that Ah Yun's mother whispered:

"I know you don't agree, but we have to live, and we all have to learn to compromise appropriately......"

"Sister Yun." Lin Wu's tone was soft, and the words he said were not the expected blame, but unexpectedly full of gratitude:

"Thank you."

Ah Yun's mother was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lin Wu with a face full of surprise.

Lin Wu's smile flickered in the night, she touched her stomach, and continued:

"I know you're doing it for my good, and now you're the one who cares about me the most, and I really appreciate you taking care of me. However, it is precisely because in such an environment that people must have a little beauty in order to persevere in their beliefs......"

As he spoke, Lin Wu stepped forward and hugged Ah Yun's mother, and his voice was a little choked:

"Thank you, thank you really......"

Such words made the tears in Ah Yun's mother's eyes burst out of her eyes, and with these careful thoughts, she had been ashamed of herself in front of Lin Wu.

She always thought that Lin Wu couldn't look down on a woman like her, but such a short two sentences made the inferiority complex in her heart collapse.

Under the dim sky, in front of a small tent, two women supported each other and wept.
