C29 Dawn
To tell the truth, for the past twenty years I had never imagined that one day I would be lying in bed with a man I had just met, and it was even more amusing to say that nothing had really happened after we had shared a bed for so long.
Chen Ming slept like a dead man. No matter what he lied down to, he would definitely look the same.
"What is it?" Chen Ming still had his eyes closed.
After thinking for a while, I said, "Thanks for what happened yesterday. I really don't know what I would do if I were to be thrown out of the courtyard."
Chen Ming paused for a moment, then opened his eyes: "If you're truly afraid of being thrown out, then don't cause too much trouble."
"It's not that I want to cause trouble, it's that their attitude is too terrible. It's simply unbearable."
Chen Ming tilted his head and glanced at me. His expression did not change at all. Only the strong have the right to speak. "
Although I don't want to admit it, but I have to say, to Hu Yongqiang and the others, a large group of us are indeed a huge burden.
Together with Sister Zhang's son and daughter, we brought three children with us.
It was noon by the time Chen Ming woke me up and called me back to my mother's place for dinner.
As I put on my clothes, I noticed that there was a string of wooden beads on Chen Ming's wrist. They didn't look like buddhist beads, but they were all linked together and had different shapes.
After wrapping up the scarf, Chen Ming turned to look at the house we were in for a long time. It was only when I was about to leave that he turned around and said, "Let's go."
At lunch time, grandma talked about the light in the house as she slept, "This kid doesn't know what's going on. He didn't say a word or give me anything to eat the whole morning, just didn't say a word. Did you receive some sort of provocation? "
"Grandmother, is there even a need to say that? He almost died while carrying an obvious man-made knife wound. He must have experienced something unbearable to look back on." Lin Wei fed Nuo Nuo as she spoke.
No matter what, we still had to live our days like the others. Every day we washed and cooked, cleaned and cleaned. Day after day, we gradually felt that our days had become more and more boring.
I was still in charge of cleaning Pan Zi's house, probably because I was too tired to care about anything, so he brewed two cups of tea and asked me to go sit.
Holding the cup, allowing the hot air to reach his nose, Pan Zi laughed and said: "I have not been in high spirits for the past two days, what's wrong? Still angry about what happened last time? "
He looked at him and asked, "Am I such a petty person? "I've long since forgotten …"
"Then what happened to you?"
He sighed, "I don't know how to put it, but I feel that these days have been too ordinary and have no meaning at all. Sometimes, I feel that this isn't the end of the world, but the time when I was sold to a rich family and served as a servant girl, never to see the free daylight again."
Pan Zi was startled at first when he heard it, but soon laughed out loud: "Isn't it better to be a bit calmer? Otherwise, wouldn't it be exciting if you went out every day and risked being bitten off? "
I waved my hand. "You don't understand what I mean. These days, I've been feeling depressed. I've been working, eating, and sleeping. It seems that I'm almost going to have problems."
Pan Zi retracted his smile, "Or perhaps … Is it the calm before the storm? "
"What?" I looked at him.
"Nothing, you don't seem to be in the mood, so stop cleaning, go back and find your Chen Ming."
...
I was already familiar with Pan Zi, so I would definitely not be courteous to him. After he finished saying "don't clean up", I threw off the mop in my hands, turned around and walked out of the house, leaving Pan Zi to tease behind me: "You sure take these words seriously."
When I got home, my grandma was feeding him some porridge. When I entered the house, she hurriedly said, "Silently, you're finally back. This kid just asked me what shelter is this, and even your mother and I don't understand. Come over and explain it to him."
Hearing that, I sat down on the bed and asked, "What did you want to know just now?" Just tell me. "
He tilted his head, and for the first time in days, a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes. "Where is the nearest refuge?"
Hearing that, I was stunned. "Sanctuary?" "What refuge?"
"You don't know?" Dawn seemed excited. "A shelter set up by the government? You don't know? A large area of protection, a place for accepting survivors, you don't know? "
I was stunned. "... I really don't know what kind of sanctuary you're talking about. "
"You haven't seen the TV?"
I shook my head. "We've been trapped ever since the undead's explosion. We've never seen TV."
"..." Dawn then fell silent. After a long while, he asked, "Have you guys seen a group of men and women taking a child through here?"
"No, I haven't. What? Who are you? "
Originally, he thought that he would ignore me, but in the end, he nodded his head. My family. I'm separated from them. "
"The Chen Yang that you called your wife?"
Dawn was startled for a moment, then nodded. "Right. My wife."
This time, I don't know how to reply. In a world where there are corpses everywhere and no communication is possible, once we leave, we might never see each other again in this lifetime.
Even if the route was already decided upon, it was very likely to be affected by the sudden appearance of the undead and had no choice but to change course.
Thinking about this, I asked Dawn, "Do you guys have any plans on where you're going?"
Dawn thought for a bit before shaking his head.
Although Dawn seemed to be depressed by the news, he was willing to speak. I simply continued asking, "Can you tell us what you did previously?"
Hearing this, Dawn looked at me, "The way you speak is exactly the same as Chen Yang." After a pause, he continued, "I'm a doctor. I should say that I'm a semi-finished doctor who hasn't graduated from the medical academy." As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have seen something and looked towards the door, his eyes bulging like an ox's.
I was stunned, following his gaze to the door, I was shocked to find that Chen Ming was standing in front of the door, noticing that both of us were staring at Chen Ming, I immediately said to Grandma, "The rice in the pot is going to turn sour."
Hearing that, Grandma cried out and stuffed the bowl into my hands before she ran towards the kitchen.
Chen Ming glanced at us both and was about to turn around and leave, but he was stopped by Dawn of Light, "Don't go! "Come back!"
Chen Ming stopped and turned to look at him: "What is it?"
"You … "Who are you?"
Chen Ming frowned: "What does that have to do with you?" Then he walked away.
I then remembered that Dawn had never seen Chen Ming before.
After Chen Ming left, Dawn grabbed my arm, and just as she was about to stand up again, the wounds on her body ached and fell, "Outside … That person … Who is he? What's his name? "
I glanced at the door and said: "Chen Ming, what's the matter? Do you know him? "
Without answering me, Dawn acted like he was stunned and lied on the bed, muttering to himself, "It's too similar …" "It's too similar …"
...
Finally, my quiet life in the compound was broken by a scream.
In the morning, as the group of us headed for the sink where we used to do our laundry, there was a sharp cry from the innermost room of our row.
At that time, Xiao Yu, Lin Wei, Qi Qi, and the others were just about to go out. After looking at each other, we immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.
As soon as she reached the front of the family's yard, she let out a shriek and stopped dead in her tracks.
Immediately after that, Xiao Yu, Lin Wei and I, as well as the usually steady and calm Lin Wei all let out sharp shrieks one after another and were stunned on the spot.
The people who were rushing over from behind were also scared by the scene before them and stopped in their tracks.
The Mistress in the yard had already collapsed onto the ground. Other than the scream from before, there was only the unstoppable howl and cry.
Under the eaves of their house, a four or five-year-old child who was originally tied to a rope to dry clothes had now astonishingly been tied to the clothesline with an electric cord around his neck.
The child's eyes bulged, his face turned purple, and his tongue stretched out. His appearance was no longer as adorable as it was in the past.
This family has a total of two sisters, both in their thirties. We usually call them Big Sis Wang, Little Sister Wang, and the child is Big Sis Wang's son.
The scene in front of them shocked everyone present. Even though they were surrounded by a circle, other than the crying of the Great King's Little Sister Wang, the place was deathly silent.
The wind rustled the child's body, making the clothesline creak as it fell.
I was covered in goosebumps.
Hu Yongqiang and the others should have arrived in five minutes, or ten minutes, or even longer. I am already unable to clearly calculate the time.
"What's going on?" When he saw the situation in the courtyard, Hu Yongqiang asked the two people on the ground harshly: "You killed this child?"
With that said, Big Sister Wang immediately cried out with a hoarse voice. With a heavy voice, she said, "That's my meat …" That's my heart... I killed myself... I can't bear to touch him! My Heart and Liver... "My son!" As he spoke, he passed out on the ground before he could catch his last breath.
Xiao Yu and I were at the forefront. Seeing the situation, we hurriedly went forward to help her up.
Lin Wei also rushed over and helped pinch her. After a while, she finally woke up, but after waking up, she started to cry loudly, as though she was about to shout out of helplessness to change the reality before her.
"Alright!" What are you shouting for! " Cheng Liang said somewhat impatiently.
"You said that!" The child's death seemed to prick Lin Wei's heart, as it lost its usual calm, and stood up to speak to Cheng Liang with dissatisfaction: "Sister Wang, your son has died, and you can't even cry twice?! If you find it annoying, you can scram! What are you pretending to be a hero for? "
