Chapter 144: The Night Banquet
With the messy bottles of drinks, the beer opened, and with the stereo in the car, "Because we are a family, a family that loves each other," in this old song of "A Family Who Loves Each Other", people toast each other excitedly, and are extremely excited that they meet in this last world, but they support each other to the present!
"Let's eat with our bellies open, the loaches are full today!" Aunt Cao came to everyone with a big pot of fried loaches.
The rare meat, coupled with the victory of the town, and the abundant supplies, made people's hearts completely relaxed, and they laughed loudly, celebrating the fruits of their efforts.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet" Leng Yang raised his hand high, with his movements, people slowly quieted down, more than ten pairs of eyes looked at him, Leng Yang seemed to have returned to his high-spirited college days, where he used to be the school's man of the hour.
"Today, Aunt Cao and Li Sisi, Wang Yan, Xiang Yuning" Every time she shouted someone's name, Leng Yang politely raised her glass, "A few of them have worked so hard for all of us, everyone said, should we toast them with a glass of wine?" ”
After speaking, Leng Yang licked his lips to reveal a greedy image, "I promise that this loach is even more delicious than that of the Marriott Hotel, don't you say?" ”
People laughed, "Yes!" "My tongue is falling out." In the midst of laughter, Leng Yang raised the wine glass in his hand high, and behind him, everyone also stood up and raised the wine glass in their hands towards Aunt Cao and the others.
"Thank you! Cheers! If Xiang Yuning, Wang Yan is considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, then Aunt Cao is the first time to be sincerely thanked by so many people, this rural aunt was so excited that her face flushed, the wrinkles on her face were stretched, and the wine glass in her hand was constantly rippling, so excited that she couldn't speak.
The glasses specially found from the town clinked together, making a crisp sound, and various drops of beer and drinks rippled out and scattered on the table and the ground, and people's excitement was completely released in an instant.
Leng Yang seemed to return to the past in this laughter, he toasted everywhere, witty words, coupled with Laipi from time to time, funny, under his encouragement, people were immersed in laughter, for several months, the dark clouds suppressed in people's chests seemed to completely dissipate at this moment.
After a while, Huang Duanzi and even fist strokes appeared on the wine table one by one, and the women also completely let go of themselves, laughing from time to time, squeezing Zhou Lei, Zhang Qiang and Leng Yang, a few young people with less social experience, and the bald man and bearded guys joked more yellow than the other, making everyone laugh non-stop.
This dinner lasted more than two or three hours, and Xiang Yuning controlled it well, after all, there were not many alcoholic beverages, and people were a little excited, until there was no drunkenness, after all, the ingredients are precious now, and it is not the era when they vomited and drank again.
After praising everyone's contributions, Leng Yang's lips were a little dry, and he was sweeping the leftovers on the table. I also poured myself a sip of Coke from time to time. He couldn't drink, and he had been laughed at by countless people just now.
In fact, Leng Yang hadn't forgotten about the zombies in the distance, but he knew that when he came back, the atmosphere had already risen, and the pots of loaches and people's uncontrollable joy had already been shown on their faces, so why bother to spoil everyone. In this world, it is not easy for people to survive, so why not be happy and happy together, at least relax.
However, he didn't know that the benefits of this dinner party were far more than that, people's emotional exchanges at the wine table were the fastest, coupled with the comradeship of fighting with zombies together, the bald men were finally accepted by the team from their hearts, and they themselves had some sense of belonging to the team.
"Beard, you guy is not ashamed, you just ate at least half of a large plate of loaches." Li Tianbao burped and despised foodies.
His words caused public outrage, and a group of people complained that the wolf-swallowing image of the beard on the dinner table just now was too ugly, among which Zhou Lei was even more exaggerated, the college student had a cigarette in his mouth, dancing with his hands, and in his mouth, the beard ate at least an elephant.
The beard is a veteran of the wine field, and he sent everyone away in a few words, "I just eat some dishes on the table, I don't know who it is, Sister Cao's pot just put down the chopsticks and stretched it out." "Bald, and you, what are you doing in the kitchen halfway through?"
Everyone giggled and laughed, after this dinner, the understanding between people was deeper, no, when Zhang Qiang smoked, every man present had a share, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, he threw it directly, and he didn't care if he didn't catch it, picked it up from the ground, patted the dust, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Under the moonlight of the night sky, a group of big men were bragging and farting in a bunch, while the girls were helping the logistics team clean up the battlefield, this was not a task assignment, but the women took the initiative to go, and Zhang Qiang, who wanted to help, was despised by them.
Hu Zi took a deep breath of his cigarette, "Brothers, I can see that none of you treat us as outsiders, thank you here." He looked at Yan Shibin sitting on the ground, Cao Zhongyuan and Zhou Lei lying on the ground.
"What are you talking about, I said earlier, Brother Leng is taking us to live together, as long as we work together, everyone can live." Yan Shibin is also very satisfied, these guys are all old fritters, and it is not easy to show their hearts so quickly.
"Captain Leng is a good guy." Hu Zi sighed, his words resonated with everyone, it is indeed good to be cold, and I didn't see that he still had such a side at the wine table just now. It's a pity that Leng Yang didn't hear it, but it is estimated that he won't hear it and won't have good words, Nima, even if the woman sends me a good person card, the man will also send it.
"Beard, do you have anything to say, don't spit out, just say what you have to say, let it go." The bald man has known Beard for two years.
The beard still lowered his head, and after a long while, he said, "Okay, I'll go out for everyone's sake, you see, we don't have much time." ”
Without waiting for everyone to question, Hu Zi told all the scenes of the large group of zombies he and Leng Yang saw today, and also explained that he was afraid of death at the time, and it was Leng Yang who stabilized him.
"I'm afraid of a hair, come one to kill one, come to two, let's kill a pair." Zhou Lei spread his limbs wide and stretched his waist on the ground.
"What is the name of the scenic spot in Linjiang County you are talking about?" Yan Shibin asked with a frown.
"That place is called Shibaozhai, and there are still a lot of people who have been there, do you have any impression?"
That scenic spot is not the kind that is famous in the whole country, but it is still famous near Jiangcheng, and I don't know that there are several people who have been to this kind of dead house like Lengyang.
"You said Shibaozhai, yes, that place is really good." Li Tianbao slapped his thigh and explained to a few other people who had never been there. As Beard said, that place was an island-shaped cliff. Only the front is about two or three kilometers wide to go up, the rest is full of cliffs.
"As long as we build a city wall with cement somewhere, the large open space inside is ours, and it can definitely be farmed, and there is also a mountain spring water, a proper bandit nest, I tell you, this stone treasure village, in fact, is the name of the bandit's nest, and there is a stone tablet on it, this stone treasure was also a good man back then..."
"Leopard, don't be a storyteller, get down to business." Zhang Qiang had to come out and interrupt the crooked obvious building.
"That place is good according to what you say, but the distance is a bit far, it seems to take dozens of kilometers, and if you count it by road, it is estimated to be hundreds of kilometers." Cao Zhongyuan also interjected.
"Hey. What are you afraid of, there is no car on the road now, leave everything to me, at most two hours for you to arrive, and no money will be charged one minute late. Li Tianbao drank a few sips of wine and was a little excited.
"You promise there won't be a horde of zombies along the way? What if we crash headfirst into a zombie den, these supplies are very important now. No car can be lost. The beard asked Li Tianbao speechlessly.
"And we can't go now. First of all, it takes time to fix the lathe and generator in the car, explore the town, and recover your physical strength. Yan Shibin has become completely serious.
"Yes, so I've been thinking just now, brothers, we're all men, and women are good to us," Hu Zi said here and explained, "Director Yan, Lao Cao, and Xiao Zhou, don't care, since I, Lao Hu, have said it today, I am determined to do it with you." ”
"I see if a few of us are working hard these days, do more work at night, and the girls will rest more, they are tired enough in the first two days." Beard has received a great baptism in his heart today, and he unconsciously has a crooked buttocks, and he would rather be considerate of others when he does his own work.
As soon as he said this, he caused a burst of laughter, "Haha, I'll just say, this guy beard can be trusted." Looking at the somewhat puzzled beard, the bald man explained to him that he had thought about it last night, and that he would call the men to the town tonight, and leave the day earlier after finishing his work anyway.
The beard immediately became angry and kicked away his bald head, "Holy shit, you kid is hiding it from me." A group of people giggled and pulled them away, in these fights, the pressure of seeing a large group of zombies in the morning also dissipated invisibly, what are you afraid of, everyone on our side is working together, and there are plenty of supplies, isn't it just some living dead, what is there to be afraid of!
At this moment, Leng Yang, who was finally full, swayed over slowly, "You lazy people, just brag and fart when you're done eating, look at me, I'm still helping to clean up the dishes." After tonight's dinner, Leng Yang spoke casually, and he was gradually opening up his heart that had been closed for many years.
"I'll go! You're cleaning up, it's obvious that you're the only one left eating, no one pays attention to you, so I'm sorry if you don't take it. After all, Zhang Qiang was also young, and immediately exposed Leng Yang.
"Haha, this, what are you talking about?"
Everyone smiled, not debunking someone's Dafa of diverting the topic in the initial stage, "We are discussing going to Shibaozhai for sightseeing in a few days, will you go?" ”
"Go. Why don't you go. That place should be free of money for admission now, if I hadn't had no money before, I would have gone earlier. Soon after the cold sun melted into their conversation, the moon also rose to the zenith, and the last days passed.
Under the light of the moon, in the camp outside the town, there is a group of people who are preparing for their future, around them, in the distance, there are many slowly forced zombies, in the entire Jiangcheng, there are also some places, there are human beings who have just extinguished the fire. Throughout China, although most of the area has lost its light, there are still some places that shine brightly.
