The Tight Embrace of the End Times

It was time for the sun to rise again, and Chunshui Town was not far ahead.

There are almost no tall buildings in Chunshui Town. They are all one-story houses, with the same white walls and black tiles, the same harmonious and smooth architectural design, and the same exquisite elegance.

Along the way before, the roads chosen were less crowded, gentle, and less troublesome. Gu Leng looked at Chunshui Town not far away, and a piece of greenery appeared from a corner inadvertently. This is the most preserved road so far. It's a good place, and it's also the place that looks the most modern and civilized.

This time, everyone did not choose to stay in the sparsely populated mountains and wastelands, but stopped at a place not far from Chunshui Town to rest.

The first ray of the sun slanted on Chunshui Town, which is surrounded by ponds. The reflective water surface and the projected sunlight seemed to have countless suns surrounding Chunshui Town, which looked sacred and solemn.

A high fence was erected on the side of Chunshui Town near the road, obviously not wanting strangers to disturb it, and Gu Leng, who has excellent eyesight, also saw patrolling figures on the fence, obviously he was also extremely wary of strangers.

Because of its unique terrain and landforms, Chunshui Town has brought the people in the town a life far superior to that of other regions even in the last days. What you see there is not chaotic running around, but orderly management. .

The place where Gu Leng parked his car is not far from Chunshui Town.Gu Leng also saw a lot of people running to the city wall to look this way, and some people climbed on the black tiles of their own houses to look at this side.

Gu Leng and his group were tired after driving all night. They cooked a pot of sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs. The rest of them found a place in the shade next to the car and fell asleep with their heads tilted. Sleepy, so watch out for them.

It is also beneficial to go out in the dry summer, at least there is no need to worry about the rich moisture under the grass lying down, and when you wake up, the shade will enter your body.Everywhere is dry yellow land with no trace of moisture, and the sparse and dry yellow grass can see the roots at a glance.When Gu Leng and his group went out, they only brought a few straw mats, and when they slept, they just found a shady place and spread them out, which saved a lot of trouble and convenience.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao habitually back-to-back and exchanged in low voices for a while. In the direction of Gu Leng, there were about ten people walking in front of him. The one who came over was a man in his 40s with a healthy skin tone and barb-like hair in his 30s.

Ever since he stayed here, Gu Leng knew that it was impossible for the people in Chunshui Town to ignore them. The two parties would meet sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to come so soon.

Xiao Qiao glanced at the sleeping companions, but did not wake them up, and pulled Gu Leng to meet her.

The man with barb-like hair clasped his fists and said, "My surname is Zhao, Zhao Chun. I'm the mayor of Chunshui Town. Where are you from? Where are you going?"

Gu Leng also clasped his fists and replied: "My surname is Gu, Gu Leng, and the person next to me is Xiao Qiao. We came from a far away place and passed by here. We didn't intend to disturb you. After a day of rest, we set off after sunset."

The mayor, Zhao Chun, asked Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao many questions repeatedly, and confirmed that they were really just passing by, leaving a few people to guard nearby, and went back to Chunshui Town first.

Among those left were the middle-aged woman in the wheelchair and the middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair.

The woman is indeed not young anymore. Looking closely, there are many small wrinkles on her face, her skin is thick and dark, and her appearance is not amazing, but her eyes are full of kindness, and her face is gentle and peaceful, which makes people feel good about her.

The man pushing the wheelchair at the back obviously resembles this woman. Judging by the expression and demeanor, it is obvious that they are husband and wife.

The husband smiled honestly and said: "If Zhao Chun is presumptuous, please forgive him. He is doing it for the people of the whole town." As he spoke, he glanced at several guards nearby.

Gu Leng expresses his understanding. During this critical period, it is always good to have more backup. Moreover, Gu Leng and his party are only going to sleep here for a day, have a meal, and do nothing else. Just watch it if you like.

Gu Leng asked: "Are you a husband and wife?" There was indeed affirmation in his tone.

The simple and honest man replied: "Well, yes, we are husband and wife. We have been married for more than ten years, hehe~, hehe."

Seeing the happy look of this man, you can tell that the relationship between husband and wife is very good.

"Does Chunshui Town not allow outsiders to enter?" Gu Leng asked.

"Hey, no, we are not from Chunshui Town, we came from other places to escape. It was more than a year ago. We have relatives in Chunshui Town, so we came here. Hey, that earthquake, How many people did not come out alive, our family of three is lucky."

"A family of three? Do you have a child?"

"Yeah, thanks to A Li, oh, A Li is my wife." The honest man patted A Li on the shoulder, and then said: "Thanks to A Li, my child survived, but A Li's legs... , Just..., Ali became like this."

The simple and honest man is called Li Fugui, he is obviously a kind person, he then told Gu Leng what he experienced that day.

It is said that in the middle of the night, the earthquake struck suddenly, and the houses collapsed. Countless people in their sleep had no chance to call for help, and they were crushed by heavy concrete and steel bricks, and died in their sleep.

Li Fugui's home is not at the source of the earthquake, so there is still time to react. Ali Qianmian was the first to react, and slapped Li Fugui desperately. When Li Fugui woke up, the family ran out with their son in their arms. Fortunately, there was no In the open space of any building, before she had time to happily escape to the sky, a crack nearly five meters wide opened in the ground in an instant, and Ali happened to be standing at the crack. When she fell, at the critical moment, she only had time to think Her own child, she didn't know where she got the strength to swing the child up, and the child was safe, but she fell down.

That earthquake shocked the whole country. Gu Leng had seen reports of the earthquake on TV. The death toll was hundreds of thousands, and the economic losses caused were immeasurable. It is said that geologists have never detected this area with earthquakes before. According to the evidence, the landform of the place where Li Fugui lives will not produce earthquakes for hundreds of years.

Gu Leng thought, that should be a sign of the end times.

After the earthquake, the country sent a large number of manpower to carry out the rescue. Ali was rescued by the national soldiers. Unfortunately, when she fell through the crack, Ali fell and broke her legs, which delayed the rescue time and never stood up again. possible.

Li Fugui said: "Fortunately, the whole family is alive, and our family is together. People must know how to be content, and we are content."

Ali, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a faint smile on her face.

"Oh, the town used to be for people to enter, and there is no such thing as patrolling and guarding now. Although we work hard here, as long as we are willing to work hard, we have water and hot springs, and we can produce food in winter and summer. The life is better than ordinary people. It’s much better. In the past, many people came here to beg for a living, and the mayor agreed, but suddenly one day many people died in the town, and people were in panic for a few days. I don’t know exactly what happened. The mayor summoned people to build a fence to prevent people from entering easily, but if they are really desperate, they can still go in and live if there are more than ten guarantees. You...? I can help. "

Li Fugui seemed to be asking.

He is such a good person, and he is also a "stupid" person. Stupid people have stupid blessings.

Gu Leng thanked him for his kindness, and the two chatted for a while. Li Fugui said that he would take his wife, Ali, to a shady place. This is why he came out with the mayor today. Ali hadn't been out for a long time. Well, since her leg broke, Ali has basically been doing some work at home within her capacity, so she can't be bored any more, so as not to cause problems.

This is an ordinary couple. They have no amazing background and no amazing looks. They are just the most ordinary couple among all living beings, but they seem so extraordinary and never leave. In this last world, they did it extreme.

In a flash, half a day passed. Gu Leng prepared to cook after a while. When the meal was ready, he asked them to get up and eat, and then set off again.

The journey is always exciting, because you don't know what kind of people you will meet, what kind of things you will encounter, whether it is sad or happy, it is always life.
