After hearing these words, Zhang Zhiyang seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the sofa.

After a long time, he held his head and whimpered like a wounded animal.

For a moment, no one spoke in the room.

The two eldest children looked at each other and understood each other's intentions.

One by one, they stood up quietly, went over and took the obviously young girl in the room, and whispered: "Sister, sister wants to go to the toilet, can you take me there?"

Yiyi's voice was not loud, but everyone in the room could hear it.

The little girl glanced at her parents and saw them nodding. She stood up and whispered, "We are going to the public toilet downstairs now. I will take you there."

The little girl glanced at the boy next to her and said, "Brother, please stay with us, I'm scared."

The boy, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, stood up after hearing this.

Youyou took the opportunity and stood up: "I'll go too."

After saying that, the four children of different ages walked out together.

There were only four middle-aged people left in the room, and a young man about twenty-three or four years old.

"Mom and Dad, how did you leave?"

Zhang Yuze still lowered his head and said: "In the second year of extreme cold, there is not much coal at home. We have been very economical and only left two bedrooms for sleeping. But one day when I woke up, the stove in my parents' house was filled with ice. Yes, the charcoal fire inside has been extinguished long ago."

"Didn't I leave you money? Didn't I ask you to buy charcoal?"

"I bought it, but there are only so many places to put things in the house. I bought food, clothes, and coal. I didn't expect it to be cold for so long. I told my mother that we could go out to chop wood. Everyone goes out to cut firewood, so it won’t freeze. But my parents just don’t listen and keep saving money..."

"Why don't you look at them! How can you not look at them!" Zhang Zhiyang was hysterical again.

His roar frightened Zhang Yuze and his wife, and neither of them dared to speak anymore.

A voice suddenly sounded: "Uncle, we are also very sad about grandma and grandpa's death. But the situation at that time was not something we could bear to see.

Our family of five lived in one bedroom, and my grandparents lived in the same room. At that time, the snow was heavy and there was not much coal, so we had no choice but to go out and chop wood.

But as soon as I went out, people persuaded me to come back, saying that there were man-eating beasts outside now.

Grandma and grandpa also heard this, and they went there that night. I think they wanted to save their share and didn't want me to go out and take risks. "

After the young man finished speaking, his voice was choked with sobs, but he continued to speak.

“My uncle left money when he left, but at that time, many things were no longer available, you know?

My dad bought the coal at a high price. My mother crowded with others in wholesale markets and supermarkets every day.

Things at that time were incredibly expensive and you couldn't buy much anymore.

My parents spent all their savings, but they only stocked up enough food to last three or four years, as well as quilts, cotton-padded clothes, solar panels and heaters. No matter how much they had, they were gone.

Even if there is still money, the family cannot afford it. Look at how big our house is! It’s all stuffed, how much can you put in it? "

"Grandma and grandpa are gone, and we are all sad. We are more sad than you! We know that grandma and grandpa left because they didn't want to drag us down. But when they left like this, they didn't think about how sad we would be!"

The young man couldn't speak anymore and his voice was choked with sobs.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyang stopped losing his temper. After a long time, he asked: "Mom and Dad, where are they buried?"

"I don't know, they were taken away in a cart." Zhang Yuze said softly, his voice full of loneliness.

"Pull a corpse truck..." Zhang Zhiyang muttered.

Lin Xiao put his arm on Zhang Zhiyang's shoulder, patted him, and gave him silent comfort.

There are rumors in Phoenix City that the corpses collected by the corpse collection team are taken to the power plant and burned to generate electricity.

Dragon City, I think it’s almost the same.

It's freezing cold, so I won't dig a hole for you to bury.

How big a hole must be dug to keep people buried in it?

Zhang Zhiyang stopped talking or crying. He seemed to have lost his life and only stared at the roof with his two eyes.

Seeing him like this, the young man asked again: "Uncle, are you going to pick up grandma and grandpa when you come back this time?"

Zhang Zhiyang heard it, but his answer was wrong: "I have no mother, I have no mother."

The young man stopped talking, and he didn't know what to say anymore.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to take over the words: "We are here to pick you up and go with us. How have you been doing in the past few years?"

The young man replied: "It was okay at first, and the food was enough. But later, not only did the coal disappear, but there was not much food, so I found a job as a scavenger. I followed the government's car out, and the things I found were 30% to 70%, and the government 7. Things can be exchanged for points at that time, and the points can be used to buy things. Although it is not much, you will never die of hunger or cold."

"What now? What do you do?"

"I still scavenge. I can scavenge freely. When I'm lucky, I can earn more. In this way, I can not only support my family but also take care of them."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao didn't speak for a long time.

With a pair of parents who cannot afford to support him and a pair of younger siblings, this young man in his early twenties has become a man and is starting to stand tall.

Lin Xiao felt that compared with the young ones in his family, they were far behind.

After a long time, Lin Xiao asked again: "Child, what is your name?"

"My name is Liu Shifeng, my younger brother is Liu Shidong, and my younger sister is Liu Shixia."

"Shifeng, are you willing to follow your uncle, take your parents, brothers and sisters to live where we live?"

"Do you have work there? Is there water?"

"Yes, there is everything. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will not be short of anything."

"Then let's go! When should we leave?"

"Don't you have to resign?"

"No, there are people who don't go every day. Everyone knows that this person will never show up again."

"Okay! Let's leave now. You go pack your things first. You don't need to bring any big items. They have been arranged for you over there. Just pack up the food, clothes, quilts, etc. and take them away."

"Okay, I'm going to clean up now!" The young man stood up, hesitated and asked, "Are we leaving by plane?"

"You know?" Lin Xiao was surprised.

"I heard the sound, and you guys came in a moment."

"Well, let's fly away." Lin Xiao looked at the young man and replied in the affirmative with a smile.

This boy is very good, he likes it very much.

The young man no longer hesitated and got up to pack his things.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Yuze woke up from her confusion. She asked hesitantly: "If we go, won't we cause trouble to you?"

"No, I came back this time just to pick you up. I won't cause any trouble, and there is no such thing as causing trouble."

After hearing these words, Zhang Yuze choked up.
