The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

In front of a dilapidated tent, a group of people were grilling tortillas around the fire.The weather is too cold, and the tortillas are so hard, it's like gnawing on a rock, and your teeth are about to collapse.

"I heard that one tael of gold can be exchanged for two catties of cornmeal, and someone above is collecting it"

"Gold, no matter what time it is, it's not unreasonable to hide gold in troubled times. Unfortunately, we are all poor people here. If we have gold, we will trade it with others sooner rather than later."

"Give it back to gold. I have worked so hard to save money and earn a lifetime. I finally saved enough money to pay the down payment. I just waited to find a wife to marry and have children. As a result, Nima was all in vain, even if I was thrown into the water. I can hear it, but it doesn’t even ring! If I could do it all over again, I would definitely not be so economical. In just a few decades, I must eat and drink well, and it’s better than living in vain!”

"Oh, what are you, I spent so many years in prison, holding on to the end of my life just waiting to come out in the future, and all the gold and silver treasures I hid with all my might turned into waste paper. Who should I cry to?!" A young man with a vicissitudes of life who looked at least ten years older than his actual age said helplessly and angrily, holding a wooden stick in his hand and poking the fire, hoping that the fire would be bigger A little, the heat is higher, it can be warmer.

Hearing what he said, the people around him didn't feel how terrible a person who had been in prison was. This person would help others from time to time, at least he didn't rely on his good physique to do things to bully others. Compared with those sanctimonious A hypocrite is hundreds of times stronger.

"Brother, why did you go to jail? What did you do?"

The young man chuckled, "Have you heard about the robbery of a bank next to Yuguang University five years ago?"

The person who asked the question suddenly widened his eyes. This matter has been on the headlines of the newspaper for a long time, how could he not have heard of it: "I know, how can I not know, I heard that insiders committed the crime, you, you That’s right, what?!”

The young man smiled and said: "What, what, I am not the mastermind of this matter, it can be regarded as a group of like-minded brothers who did it together. All the stolen money was divided into several appropriations and hidden in many places. The place where I hid it was hard If I didn’t confess, I was considered a coercion at most. I was originally sentenced to more than 22 years. I was only [-] years old at the time, and I was only in my forties when I came out. The money I hid was enough for the rest of my life. , spent five years in prison for nothing, life is really changing rapidly.”

The people around were stunned, and they didn't expect that there was such a capable person sitting next to him: "Brother, you are really amazing, you are still able to hold back when you are arrested, awesome!"

"What's so awesome, the stolen money was divided into several batches, and the ones I hid were just a small change. I don't have the ability to participate in the big ones, but besides cash, I still have a lot of gold bricks. Unfortunately, they are not in this province. Otherwise, it can be exchanged for a lot of cornmeal.”

"Oh, that's really a pity. Things that you risked your life for are so wasted. Alas, but where did you hide those things? Can you find them back? It's all in this world now, money is useless, wipe your ass It’s all disgusting, and it’s not resistant to fire, but the gold can still be useful.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help thinking, if all the gold was his own!

The young man smiled: "I am hiding in a small abandoned building, which is quite famous, haunted, well hidden, and blocked by bricks, if I hadn't discovered that place by accident, I would still I can't find a place where I can safely hide for 20 years!"

Yao Ziqing sat in the corner of the fire and listened to their chatting silently. His whole body was dirty and tattered, and he put on almost all the cloth that could be pulled off his upper body. His hair was greasy and his face was black and dirty. I can't see the face clearly, and there are faint injuries, but it's too dirty to see it.

His body hurts badly, just now the little boss of this area came to trouble him again.This little boss is a bit psychopathic, and he loves to bully the weak.It is even more perverted to be bullied by the weak and defenseless. There are many people here who were beaten to death by him in private.

That person is not stupid, he knows that if he kills someone in the base, he will cause trouble, so he never directly kills people.Anyway, if he was seriously injured, he would only die if he had no condition for medical treatment.

If the young brother hadn't stopped him just now, the little boss wouldn't have let him go so quickly today.

Yao Ziqing regretted it, regretted why she chose to leave home so far after graduation in order to avoid her feelings.When the accident happened, it was impossible to go back.I don't know what's going on at home. I heard that there will be earthquakes in the north from time to time. I don't know if my home will be affected.

The eldest brother has stayed at home after graduation, and there are still a few acres of land. The second brother may also go home. It should be no problem for grandma to take care of them.It's just that I haven't come home for a long time, and my grandma will definitely be worried.Maybe the second brother will come out to find himself, no, it should definitely come out to find himself.I'm afraid that as long as I don't go home, my second brother will keep looking for it.

Thinking of his second brother, Yao Ziqing knelt down and hugged his knees silently.He wants to live, wants to go home, see grandma, and say sorry to his second brother.He shouldn't be self-willed, nor should he change his mind.He knew he was wrong, really knew he was wrong.But he couldn't go back, he didn't have the ability to cross a province and go home in such a difficult world.

……

Lei Xiao was covered in wind and snow, with a big broken bag on his back, and a badly damaged map in his hand. He carefully looked at the route on the map with his dark eyes, hoping to find the shortest shortcut to find his fourth son. .

Si'er had a stubborn temper since he was a child, and he was the most impulsive age, so Lei Xiao didn't control Si'er's rebellion much, fearing that the more he controlled the rebellion, the more ruthless he would become.It's just that I didn't expect that a moment of indulgence would turn into the current situation.There are many dangers outside, and Si'er has a small body that cannot be carried by his shoulders or hands. How should he protect himself and live a good life.

Every time I think that Si'er might be bullied and starved in a place I don't know, I suffocate and hurt.If I had known that there would be today, even if I broke his leg back then, I would have locked myself by my side!

Du Heng breathed a sigh of relief. For several consecutive months, Lei Xiao had walked from morning to night like this, sometimes even eating pancakes while walking in the middle of the meal.He knew that Lei Xiao wanted to find his younger brother sooner, but Iron Man couldn't stand this going on, and he might fall down before he found his younger brother.

"Take a break, we are about to arrive at the next base, that is the big base, and it is also the base closest to the city where your brother lives, maybe we can find it, take a break before leaving, don't worry if your brother doesn't find it, you can find it yourself fell first"

Lei Xiao glanced at Du Heng, and continued walking in silence.Du Heng looked at his back that kept moving forward, and felt pain in his heart.Even if Lei Xiao didn't say anything, he still knew how annoying he was by following him so recklessly.

If it weren't for the wrong data he gave during the mission, they wouldn't have been trapped in the woods for so long.After finally getting out, the whole world has changed.The only way to get home is on foot.He is alone, the whole world seems to be doomsday, and he has nowhere to go.He simply followed Lei Xiao all the way, and after spending several months on the road, he finally reached Lei Xiao's house.

Du Heng still remembers the moment when Lei Xiao returned home and found out that his younger brother hadn't come back yet. He panicked for a moment, and even trembled faintly in panic.He had never seen Lei Xiao so emotionally exposed, and he couldn't hide his fear.

If it weren't for his grandma and elder brother trying their best to stop him, Lei Xiao didn't even want to stay for a moment and went out directly to look for the little brother who hadn't returned home.

I stayed at home for not a day, and even after I finally got home, I couldn't even sleep well, so I brought some food and went out directly.

It's been nearly half a year since they walked this way, and their mission was delayed for a few months, and they couldn't go home because of the chaos of the world. They walked back from the border area step by step, plus the few months of looking for his brother , the world is getting more and more dangerous, and Du Heng's heart is getting heavier and heavier.

He has never met Lei Xiao's younger brother in person, but only in photos. He is a very handsome and bookish little boy, who looks quite soft and harmless.He really didn't dare to think about how such a beautiful boy with no ability to protect himself could survive in this cannibalistic world.

Maybe Lei Xiao will never find his younger brother, that's fine, he will never find him, and there will always be hope.Even if he just stays with Lei Xiao to search for him, he is willing, it's better than Lei Xiao's complete despair.

……

Yao Ziqing knew that he had a fever, and his whole body was groggy. Fever and illness are fatal in this apocalyptic world.He thought, maybe this time he is really going to die, he can't go home, and he can't wait for his second brother.

Suddenly a man pulled him up vigorously. Before Yao Ziqing could react, he heard the young man's voice in a hurry: "Get out of here quickly, the base is not safe, the people outside are crazy, hurry up!"

Yao Ziqing was a little out of his mind, he didn't react at all, and was directly pushed out of the tent by the young brother.The screams and screams outside made him tremble uncontrollably, and he was stimulated to wake up a little bit.

Yao Ziqing subconsciously followed the fleeing crowd, although he still didn't understand what happened.His legs were as heavy and soft as if filled with lead, and the young brother had disappeared, surrounded by strange fleeing crowds.Yao Ziqing was not running by himself at all, but was passively moved in one direction by the crowd.With the shouts in the distance and the panicked voices of the crowd around him, his chaotic mind realized that it was the rice that caused it.There was a problem with the rice, and people were desperate, so they dragged the people in the base to hell together.

Yao Ziqing didn't want to die, even though he knew he might not live long, he still tried his best to escape.

He didn't know how he left the base, it was purely by instinct.But he was really exhausted, the fever made him weak, and the panic of fleeing had exhausted all his energy.Being pushed and shoved, he fell to the ground without even the strength to get up.

Fortunately, he was directly pushed out by the crowd and fell to the wall, otherwise he would have been trampled to death.Yao Ziqing slowly climbed into an alley with the support of the wall, where there were many old people and children who also fled.

The cold air is sucked into the lungs little by little with the breath, and the temperature in the body is lost little by little with the breath.Yao Ziqing knew that he was going to die, he slowly curled himself into a ball, he wanted to live, but he really tried his best.Human beings cannot escape death, and neither can he.

When he coughed up blood a few days ago, he knew that he would not live long. When that perverted little boss kicked towards him fiercely, he couldn't dodge it.Feeling the heart-piercing pain, he knew that he was another spoil of that pervert.Sure enough, bad premonitions are very effective.

The coldness slowly invaded the pain in the body, and the tip of the nose seemed to smell the sweet-scented osmanthus at the door of the house.The grandma looked at him smilingly holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, patted his head over and over again and said, baby grandson, eat slowly, grandma has made a lot for you, just take care.

Yao Ziqing, who was huddled together tiredly, smiled silently. Grandma's hanging flower cake is the best. I used to eat a piece when I came back from school when I was hungry, and it was full of fragrance.Smiling and laughing, he seemed to see the tall figure of the second brother walking towards him, and then heard the rare gentle voice of the second brother saying: "Si Er, the second brother is here to pick you up."

Able to go home, finally able to go home, the second brother finally found him, Yao Ziqing closed his eyes with peace of mind, finally, he was going home.

Lei Xiao hugged the already stiff person and just sat there for a whole day and night without eating or drinking.No matter what Du Heng tried to persuade, Lei Xiao seemed not to hear.Du Heng felt more and more uneasy, he seemed to know something vaguely, but he was not sure.He was afraid that once he was determined, his world would completely collapse.

When the crowd outside gradually dissipated, there were flames everywhere, corpses all over the ground and miserable screams, Lei Xiao hugged the person in his arms and stood up slowly.Du Heng hurriedly followed.

Lei Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, his originally pitch-black eyes were filled with deathly darkness, and the blood of those who watched seemed to freeze.

"Stop following me!"

Du Heng was a little flustered and frightened, but still followed behind him silently.Lei Xiao didn't care about him anymore, just walked away holding Si'er in his arms.

Du Heng thought that Lei Xiao was going home with Yao Ziqing's body, and wanted to persuade him to cremate the body so that he could take him on the road, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.I could only follow in silence.

Suddenly one morning, after Du Heng woke up, Lei Xiao disappeared. He took his younger brother Yao Ziqing together, and Du Heng searched everywhere, but they just disappeared, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find them.

Du Heng couldn't find Lei Xiao, he thought Lei Xiao would definitely bring Yao Ziqing home, so he walked all the way north.Encountered a lot of dangers along the way, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you have to find a place to hide during the day, and the danger is even greater at night, it is really close to death along the way.

It was only after returning to Leijia Village that they learned that Lei Xiao hadn't come back at all, and they didn't know that Yao Ziqing had died.Du Heng had no choice but to say that he was separated from Lei Xiao, so he had to go back the same way and wait for him.Waiting, waiting for a lifetime.

Lei Li was the first person to know about Yao Ziqing's death. He said that Lei Xiao would not come back, and he had an incomprehensible obsession with Si'er since he was a child.He said that when he saw him coming back alone, he already had a premonition that the second and fourth children in their family would never come back.

Du Heng has a long mouth but can't make a sound. Lei Li told him to stay in the village and live a good life. It doesn't matter if he finds a woman or a man, at least he doesn't end up alone.But Du Heng couldn't accept others, he could only wait, even if he knew that there would be no result.

If a person has another life, he really wants to tell Lei Xiao, let's just be the best brothers, okay, just be a pair of good brothers.
