Apocalypse Paradise

"I just celebrated my 18th birthday yesterday!" Liu Chuang said after a moment of silence.

"Happy birthday!"

"I'll fry you two more dishes!" Lao Cao put down his chopsticks and got up and walked to the kitchen.

"No need, Brother Cao!"

"Haha, I see that you look young, but I didn't expect that you, kid, shouldn't go to school at your age!"

"When I was in junior high school, my family was poor. My grandma got sick and had no one to take care of her, so she dropped out of school! She didn't go to school after that. She has been living in the society. I met Brother Wang at the construction site. He took good care of me. I have also saved some money over the years. , I also paid for the money I owed the folks from my grandma’s funeral, and I still have some left, so I want to go out and try my luck!"

"Good boy, that's great! What's your video account? If I give you a follow, it's not in vain for you to call me Brother Su!"

"Brother Chuang is traveling to Yan country and doesn't have many fans. Brother Su is laughing!"

"Hey, it's okay. I'll have almost 50 fans soon!"

"Ah, it grows so fast! I saw it was only over 30 points a few days ago!"

"Eat quickly, you don't have to wait for Lao Cao!"

"Okay, Brother Su!"

After dinner, Liu Chuang rushed to wash the dishes, and Suning followed him.

"Come here, Xiao Liu, let me give you a haircut. You can't be so sloppy all the time." Suning brought a complete set of miscellaneous things.

"My hair grows fast, so I planned to get it cut in the next town."

Putting on his apron, Liu Chuang sat on the small bench in the bathroom. The two of them were a little crowded inside.

"This looks much neater!" Suning shook off the hair stubble on the hair clipper.

"You can take a shower here later! There are razors prepared for you over there." Suning walked out of the bathroom.

Not long after, an energetic young man walked out of the RV and said, "Good boy, this looks so powerful!"

"Pitch your tent next to the RV later, it will be windy at night."

"Okay, Brother Su!"

The three of them chatted around the campfire until late at night. Most of the time it was Suning and Mr. Cao who were talking. Occasionally, Liu Chuang was asked, and he answered a few questions.

Listening to Mr. Cao's magnificent army career, Liu Chuang looked with admiration at the gray-haired Mr. Cao in front of him.

It was late at night, but Liu Chuang was still awake. Thinking back to Mr. Cao's words, he felt that his body was hot, even after he opened his sleeping bag.

If he hadn't had to take care of his grandma, he would have been able to finish high school with the help of subsidies for poor students and student loans.

Although he was sorry, he did not regret it. According to the villagers, he was picked up by his grandma. If not for his grandma, he would have died in the river!

He had never drank breast milk and had grown up drinking goat's milk. Later, when his grandfather passed away, he sold the sheep with tears in his eyes and borrowed some from neighbors before burying his grandfather.

After grandpa passed away, grandma held him up all by herself. She missed him and was tired. If she hadn't been worried about him, grandma might have gone to heaven to find grandpa!

When the funeral was over and the villagers all went home, he ran to the grave alone. This time he didn't cry. His tears had long since dried up in the hospital!

Quietly kowtowing three times in front of the grave, the young man walked out of the mountain and out of Malou Village in the darkness.

When he came to a big city for the first time, he faced the unknown with cautious curiosity. Thanks to nine years of compulsory education, Liu Chuang survived despite a very hard life.

He has not forgotten what grandma said before she died, "Live well, go out of the mountains, and see the world for grandma."

Although the journey was full of ups and downs, he never felt uncomfortable. Instead, he always maintained a strong desire to explore. Even in the sky full of yellow sand in the northwest, he never felt bored.

Stop when you feel tired, continue on the road after resting, and push when you can’t ride anymore.

Of course, he also has bitterness and fear, but these cannot stop him from moving forward.

Tossing and turning and unable to sleep, he began to look back at the past, reflect on it, and learn from past mistakes.

After reflecting, he began to imagine the future. He would pass through the northwest sky full of yellow sand and reach the snow-capped mountains.

After all, the young man's enthusiasm could not stop his body's sleepiness and exhaustion, and Liu Chuang snored lightly in the tent.

"Xiao Liu, you're still asleep! We're leaving. Say goodbye to you!" Suning's voice woke up Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang was still a little confused when he heard the shouting. After all, he slept too late yesterday and it was just dawn now. But he quickly got up, opened his sleeping bag, and crawled out of the tent.

After scratching his crisp short hair, Liu Chuang yawned, "Brother Su, Brother Cao, you have to leave!"

"Yeah, I see how sleepy you are, go back and catch up on some sleep!"

"It's okay, I wish you a safe journey!"

"Okay, please pay attention to your safety and let's go!"

The engines of motorcycles and RVs sounded, and Liu Chuang waved to the receding shadow of the RV. There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. If we are destined, we will see each other again.

After exhaling a breath, the sun has not risen yet and the temperature on the sand is still a little low. Liu Chuang rubbed his hands and got back into the tent.

When he returned to the tent, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He simply got up and picked up the drone to take pictures of the nearby environment as material.

Then I started to pack my things and prepare to continue riding. The next town is not far away. I will arrive at about noon. Then I will find a hotel to have a good rest.

Liu Chuang has always been able to endure hardship but does not enjoy it or pursue hardship. As his account says, he travels rather than wanders, although in front of netizens he is closer to wandering.

He will not deliberately pursue the effect of the show or make trouble with the audience. When he comes to the city, he should enjoy it. After eating Suning's meal yesterday, Liu Chuang doesn't want to eat noodles for the time being. He wants to go to the city to eat meat.

After packing his things, the sky was getting brighter and not that cold anymore. He left the cell phone with which he had taken the photos. He got ready and rode for a distance before returning to pick up the cell phone with which he had taken the photos.

In his ears is a playlist he carefully selected. For this reason, he even opened a membership to the music software, otherwise he would not be able to listen to more than half of his playlist.

After riding for more than half a year, he was forced to learn various repair skills and helped some fellow riders on the road.

I have also traveled with others for a while, and most of them are quite friendly. The goggles he is wearing now were given to him by a riding friend.

He helped the rider put on the chain that had fallen off and repaired the tire. Later, the rider couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave him some equipment and took off for a ride.

This is normal, there are many people who persist along the way, and there are also many people who give up.

As for why you insist, everyone seems to have their own reasons.

The further west you go, the fewer vehicles on the road, but the number of large vehicles increases.

The wind whipped up by the cart hit him. From being worried at first to becoming accustomed to it now, he always adhered to the principle of caution and rode on one side of the road.

The occasional harsh honking of a large car did not frighten him. He stopped to take a drink of water and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The temperature gradually increased, and he began to slowly reduce the clothes on his body.
