Ghoul

The inside of the house was not as dilapidated as it appeared outside, Fang Xiaowei tore open the weeds blocking the door, and walked in slowly.

Everything in the house has the feeling of the old days, but it has become extraordinarily desolate because of the absence of the owner.Fang Xiaowei had expected everything, so he rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning the house.

When he was in school, he was able to come back often at the beginning. After a long time, after being discovered by his father, in order not to delay his studies, he was required to come back only once a month at most.

Dust has accumulated in this neighborhood, especially in houses that no one lives in, so every time Fang Xiaowei rides his bicycle, staggering across the gravel road, and when he returns home, he sees dust everywhere. There was a layer of dust.

Although the nearby neighbors will occasionally help to take care of it, no one is willing to come to clean the house, so these things are naturally done by Fang Xiaowei. When the cleaning is finally finished, it will not be too early. Xiaowei was about to ride back.

So every month, Fang Xiaowei came all the way to clean a house.

In order to make the house look less lonely, there are still people there.

Although the environment in the house is much messier than before, it is a bit troublesome to tidy up, but Fang Xiaowei is used to tidying up, and he thinks it is okay. He looked at Ruan Lin who was standing by the door, looking a little at a loss, " Don't be shy, find a place to do it."

Ruan Lin looked at the crumbling chair that had been corroded, and could only shake his head, put the long knife aside, and rolled up his sleeves to help Fang Xiaowei organize things.

There are a lot of bugs in the house, and most of them came here to make nests. There are some on the roof alone. Fang Xiaowei didn’t care about it, and he didn’t plan to demolish other people’s houses. He searched for a long time and found one. A working bucket, and a piece of cloth torn from the quilt, "I'll go out and get some water." He said to Ruan Lin, "Don't clean up the upstairs, we won't live anyway."

Ruan Lin looked at Fang Xiaowei who had regarded himself as a coolie, and nodded, "There are also a few zombies nearby." He said that he found out not long after he came in, maybe because of the sea beast meat on them, these The zombies were just circling in the distance, with no intention of attacking.

There should be very few people in this small town, so the surviving zombies this time are probably the former residents here... He can see that Fang Xiaowei likes this place a lot, so he is afraid that Fang Xiaowei will become a ghost in the face of these past neighbors. When there are zombies, you will soften your heart.

Maybe Fang Xiaowei in the past would not, because those zombies would threaten his life.

But what about now?Ruan Lin didn't know, so he could only tell, "Those are just zombies."

Fang Xiaowei stayed with Ruan Lin for a long time, and also mastered Ruan Lin's habit of saying half of what he said, so he naturally understood what he meant. He walked out the door with a bucket in his hand, "I know." He said, "I won't soften my heart. of."

Although he likes and misses this place, he also knows that zombies are no longer the people they used to be.

The pond that Fang Xiaowei is going to is not far from the house, and it takes only 5 minutes to walk. It is said that it was a small pond that was dug together in the past for everyone’s daily use. Although tap water was available later, this The pond has not been abandoned either, at least when he was young, he often came here to fish lobsters with his friends.

While Fang Xiaowei was thinking about these past events, he was walking among the weeds. These grasses were not only in the way, but also obstructed his sight. Although it would not prevent him from seeing the zombies, it was indeed troublesome as a distraction.

He swung the iron bucket left and right, and with a bang, it hit something.

Fang Xiaowei turned his head to look at the smashed zombie, the head was covered by a big iron bucket.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't see it." Fang Xiaowei said pretendingly, and then punched the zombie's chest, directly breaking its bones, and kicked it over, pressing it to the ground.

Although the ribs were broken quite a bit, the zombie was still usable. It hit the ground with its head, making a banging sound from the big iron bucket.

Fang Xiaowei watched the zombie's struggle, and kicked away the iron bucket covering his head.

Seeing the person he was stepping on, Fang Xiaowei said "huh", "Old Liu?" He looked at the other person's shriveled and dead face, and his teeth were exposed, "I didn't expect you to become a zombie too." He sighed A sentence.

Lao Liu is still a friend he met when he was in elementary school. He is not very old, but he is a head taller than others, and he is also a circle stronger. He is about the same size as Fang Xiaowei, except that Fang Xiaowei is fat. Strong.

Although he is strong and looks naive, Lao Liu is extremely cunning. Fang Xiaowei did bad things in the past, and Lao Liu's help must have been indispensable.

It’s just that Fang Xiaowei left later, and the two of them seldom contacted each other. Later, he heard that Lao Liu also went to other places to attend high school, and he even went to meet Lao Liu. Lao Liu was still as strong and simple-looking... He thought that at that time, even if Old Liu was attacked and turned into a zombie, he should be in the city, but he didn't expect that he was here.

He remembered that when the apocalypse broke out, they were still in school, Fang Xiaowei looked down at Lao Liu's clothes.

Old Liu was wearing sportswear. He remembered that the old Liu's school was very strict about this matter. It seemed that when the end broke out, Old Liu was not in the school.

Why was Lao Liu, who was supposed to be in school at that time, not in school... This is probably a mystery that can never be explained. Fang Xiaowei looked at Lao Liu who was struggling on the ground, raised his fist, and bent down. ——

"Goodbye, old Liu."

After speaking, the fist dropped.

Picking up the iron bucket in the distance, Fang Xiaowei wiped the dirt from his hands on the weeds around him, he walked around the re-turned land, and then continued to his pond.

The pond was surrounded by weeds. After Fang Xiaowei opened up a space, he went down with a bucket to fetch water.

Then I found that the bucket suddenly stopped, and the weight immediately rose.

Fang Xiaowei looked at the pond, and something in the water should have caught the bucket just now.

After the end of the world, the things in the water basically mutated. Although Fang Xiaowei felt that there would be no big guys in this small pond, he also stared at the bucket that was slowly being brought up with extreme caution.

A touch of red gradually appeared in his vision.

When the bucket was about to be brought up, Fang Xiaowei immediately threw the bucket aside, and the thing was also thrown to the shore.

Fang Xiaowei blinked his eyes looking at the things that were thrown to the shore. He knew the things that were thrown up. He used to grab these things a lot when he was a child. He looked at the red shell and the two big pliers, "Why is this lobster so big?" He said, looking at the lobster that weighed at least five catties.

Although it still looks like a crayfish, its size is extremely abnormal.

Fang Xiaowei walked over and grabbed two much thicker beards, and lifted them up.

Compared with the things in the sea and the river, this lobster didn't mutate much. If I had to say it, it probably just got bigger... I don't know how it tastes, Fang Xiaowei looked at the big lobster and pondered in his heart.

He glanced at the small pond. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be only one lobster, right?

Cleanly tore down the weeds around him, tied up the lobsters, and Fang Xiaowei still used an iron bucket to seduce the lobsters in the pond.

Sure enough, in the next moment, he caught three of them, tied them together with weeds, and carried water, Fang Xiaowei returned home happily, humming a song in his mouth.

In the house, Ruan Lin, who had been tidying up all the time, suddenly heard Fang Xiaowei's singing from a distance, and he didn't know what was worth Fang Xiaowei's joy here, so he listened to the singing that was getting closer and closer, Then he walked over and opened the door, and saw the bucket in Fang Xiaowei's left hand, and a bunch of... lobsters in his right hand? !

"Crayfish?" Ruan Lin looked at the things in Fang Xiaowei's hands with some surprise. Although they were crayfish, the size of these things was not small anymore.

"I'll eat this today." Fang Xiaowei proudly handed the lobster to Ruan Lin.

Ruan Lin took the lobster and felt his right hand sinking. After weighing the lobster, he looked at the empty room and asked Fang Xiaowei, "How do you eat it?"

"Baked and eaten." Fang Xiaowei pulled out the lighter from his pocket, "You know how to handle it?"

Ruan Lin shook his head. He is not keen on crayfish, so he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing Ruan Lin shaking his head, Fang Xiaowei threw the lighter to Ruan Lin.

Ruan Lin didn't complain about this, he didn't move because, "...where is the fire?" He asked, the house is full of gas stoves, and there are weeds all around, so he can't make a fire inside the house, right?

Fang Xiaowei slapped his head when he heard this, but he forgot about it, "I remember the house next door, it seems that there is a stove." Fang Xiaowei pointed to the house outside the room and said, "The short house next to it inside."

Hearing this, Ruan Lin looked in the direction of Fang Xiaowei's finger, and there seemed to be a shorter one-story house next to that house, but it was covered by weeds, so he couldn't see it clearly.

"That's their kitchen." Fang Xiaowei was about to take Ruan Lin to that kitchen with a lobster and a bucket. "I'll come over when I'm eating. It uses a large stove that can light a fire."

Ruan Lin thought for a while, picked up the sea animal meat that was put aside while cleaning, and then walked to the kitchen with Fang Xiaowei.

The kitchen is very old, and the wooden door is crumbling. When Ruan Lin pushed it open, he was really afraid that it would disintegrate in a second, but no, it stood there safely.

The roof of the house is a wooden structure, showing a pointed triangle. The corner of the wall is a large stove and a place for lighting a fire. The walls of this place have been blackened by smoke.

Ruan Lin carried a long knife, went outside to cut some branches and came back, ready to light a fire.

When Fang Xiaowei saw his movements, he immediately stopped him, "That's not it." He said, and squatted down in front of Ruan Lin.

The space for making a fire is very small, and there is a wall behind it. It is usually a bit crowded to sit alone, let alone accommodate two adult men at this moment.Ruan Lin looked at Fang Xiaowei who was squatting between his legs calmly, touched the hair on the back of his head with his fingers, then slid down the hair and stopped on the neck.
