walk alone.

Wang Lei and Qin Bin's group didn't chat for long, and his parents Wang Kai and Li Shuyun returned home with excitement.They were college classmates with a close relationship with Liu Qingquan's parents, and later they became neighbors to each other after working. After Liu Qingquan's parents passed away unexpectedly, if Liu Qingquan had no relatives, they had no blood relationship with Liu Qingquan. They are going to adopt Liu Qingquan.But that's the case, they didn't treat the children left behind by their friends in the slightest, and they loved them as if they were their own sons.After such a difficult winter, the two couples have been worried about Liu Qingquan's grandson and Qin Bin Yuhui who are far away in Zaojiao Village. With mediocre skills, it is estimated that they can't even get out of this small county, so even if they are worried, they can only endure it secretly.Now that someone sent them the news that Ah Qing and his grandfather were here, how could they sit still?Ignoring the obstruction of my parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law and the inexplicable "worries", I immediately trotted back home.

"Uncle, Auntie!" Seeing Uncle Wang and Auntie Li, who had always been bookish and well-dressed, looking down and thin, Liu Qingquan couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, and hurriedly greeted him excitedly.

"Hey, your Uncle Wang and I have been worried about what will happen to you. Now that you are all well, we are relieved..." Li Shuyun took a few children to look carefully one by one, and saw that they were all safe and sound. They are also very good, it doesn't look like they have suffered, and the heart that was hanging suddenly finally fell to the ground.

The visitor was a guest. Although supplies were scarce and everyone's life was not easy, the Wang family still enthusiastically took out the best ingredients at home and cooked a hot dinner for Qin Bin and his party.

Smelling the rich aroma and looking at the miscellaneous ingredients cooked in the boiling pot, everyone couldn't help swallowing secretly.The villagers in Zaojiao Village generally have no shortage of food in their homes, but condiments are very rare. Some families don't even have salt, let alone other condiments.Therefore, the first time I smelled the rich aroma of the long-lost hot pot ingredients, I was so greedy, and I didn't want to shirk any more, and started to eat the steamed steamed buns that had been reheated.

Fortunately, Qin Bin and the others had brought enough dry food when they came, otherwise so many people would have eaten all of them, and Wang Lei's family would have been poor.

"Huhu, it's so refreshing. I haven't eaten such a delicious meal for a long time." Da Zhuang touched his bulging belly, leaned comfortably on the big sofa in the living room, and sighed with aftertaste.Compared with the well-prepared Mr. Chen's family, Da Zhuang's family, like other villagers' families, really had a hard time this winter.They hadn't suffered much hunger, but the people who were used to a good life suddenly couldn't bear the hard life of clear soup and little water.

"Compared with the people in the county town, you are already living a pretty good life. Anyway, you can still have a hot meal. You don't know, for a while, the gas in my gas tank ran out and was cut off again. Electricity, we can only eat dry instant noodles with snow. After a week, Xiaolei is so thin that only a handful of bones are left, and he walks unsteadily..." Thinking of that miserable, terrifying and dark experience, Li Shuyun couldn't help red She lost her eye socket, and her son, her husband, almost died.Fortunately, God blessed them and didn't take them away cruelly, otherwise, she really didn't know if she could survive.

"Okay mom, aren't dad and I on good terms? Don't think too much about it." Seeing his mother's appearance, Wang Lei knew that she was getting scared again, so he quickly comforted her in a warm voice.In fact, apart from hating those gangsters who broke into their house and robbed them, Wang Lei was also a little grateful.If it wasn't for those cruel gangsters who made him truly understand the cruel reality and forced him to grow up in the shortest possible time, he wouldn't be where he is today.If he hadn't woken up early, maybe what Binbin, Ah Qing, and Xiao Hui saw now would be three rotten and smelly corpses!

"Yes, Auntie, don't be sad, we will be fine in the future."

Mr. Chen and his party were on the road and looking for people. After a busy day, they were a little tired, especially the four old people. It was already very difficult for them to survive until now. Seeing that everyone looked exhausted, Wang Lei hurriedly arranged They go to the guest room to rest.The small villa of Wang Lei's family is a small three-story western-style building, with four living rooms on the first floor, and eight guests came at once, so it is quite comfortable to live in.

After the four old men and Da Zhuang yawned and went back to their room to rest, Wang Lei dragged his three friends into his room.The four of them haven't seen each other for more than a few days, and they have a lot to say. It was a bit inconvenient for the four of them to talk because of the presence of outsiders. Now that there are only four of them left, they naturally want to chat freely.

Liu Qingquan: "What are your plans? Do you want to go to the village with us?"

Wang Lei: "No, if there are only three of us, even if I have the cheek, I will take my parents to join you. It's just that the situation is very complicated now. My grandparents, uncles, uncles and aunts have all moved to this community. Except There are still many relatives in our family who come to seek refuge with me in the community, and now I can’t escape.”

Yu Hui: "You won't really form a gang to become the boss, will you?"

Wang Lei (with a wry smile): "Hehe, you really hit the spot. I am indeed the boss in the north of the city. The people in the north of the city didn't go with me. They basically lived in this villa area. Young people with some military strength Men and women in the prime of life are under my command, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are under my protection. It feels weird, doesn't it? Xiaohui used to always say that I am a woman, and I am afraid of mice. Now I can kill people without blinking I also think it's unbelievable, but in this world, how can I survive without being a little bit cruel."

Seeing the piercing vicissitudes of life smile on Wang Lei's immature face, Yu Hui felt uncomfortable, wanted to say something to comfort him, but didn't know where to start.

Wang Lei naturally knew what his friends were worried about, so he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and said with relief: "You don't have to worry about me, at least I'm still the boss. Before, I just wanted to be like my parents hoped, to get into a good university, to be a decent cultural People. But now the world has changed, and I have changed too. I actually enjoy the feeling of being a strong person, being relied on, and admired by others. Binbin, I am most grateful to you. If you didn’t teach me Kung Fu back then, I would Now I don’t know what kind of desperation I’m going to be in, maybe I’m even dead.”

Qin Bin waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me, this is the result of your own hard work."

Liu Qingquan: "Leizi, you only manage the area in the north of the city, what about the south, east and west of the city? Are there any residents there who have not moved out?"

Wang Lei: "I guess there should be, but I only know that a gangster named Lai Tou dominates the east of the city. As for the south and west of the city, I haven't got any news yet. Ah Qing, you should know that there is a large There is a pet market in the south of the city, and there is a zoo in the south of the city, and there are so many mutated animals nowadays, I reckon it's dangerous there, so I haven't checked it out."

Yu Hui: "Who did you say you wanted to get rid of in the afternoon, is that the scumbag?"

Wang Lei: "Yes, it's him. That scumbag led people to attack us several times, and even sneaked up on us on the way back from transporting supplies. He planned to make a fuss about it. If we don't get rid of those bastards, we will never be safe. .”

Looking at Wang Lei who was full of ruthlessness, Qin Bin and the three truly realized that Lei Zi had indeed changed.The cowardly, crying and squeamish little boys in the past have been changed by the heavy ordeal when they were ignorant.Qin Bin and the others don't know whether this change is right or wrong, but in today's cruel reality, such Wang Lei is undoubtedly the most suitable for survival.

"Do you want us to help?" Liu Qingquan felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He could understand Leizi's change, but he couldn't empathize with what happened to him, and he was a little at a loss at this time.Because at this time, Wang Lei was no longer the doormat who needed their protection, and even his aura was much stronger than that of ordinary adults, and he didn't look like a person their age at all.

"No, I can take care of it." Wang Lei looked at the boys who were no different from before, and from the bottom of his heart he didn't want them to see his hands covered in blood.

"We won't feel at ease even if we go back to the village until we see you are well. Leizi, let's go together. It's all like this now, and it's time for us to face reality."

Wang Lei was startled when he heard the words, thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. "You can follow along, but you must be careful. You may not know it when you are trapped in the village. The reality is very cruel now, and your soft-heartedness or hesitation may kill you!"

The four teenagers who hadn't seen each other for a long time talked together. If they were not worried about the lack of energy tomorrow, they would at least have a long talk all night.It's just that there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, even though everyone has no sleepiness, they still force themselves to go to bed early.

Knowing Qin Bin's hobby, Wang Lei deliberately gave him his room, while he went to sleep in the guest room with Liu Qingquan and Yu Hui.Qin Bin felt a little sorry when he saw this, but considering the restless Chi Huo, he finally accepted Wang Lei's kindness without much rejection.

"Eat something first, and I'll take you to the county seat later." Qin Bin had already scanned the county seat with his spiritual sense. The things are still very impressive.Qin Bin has no shortage of food, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to those. He is more interested in electrical appliances in major appliance cities, modern furniture in furniture cities, books in county libraries and major bookstores, and various modern clothes.Sooner or later, Chi Huo will turn into a human form one day, and he can't always make Chi Huo invisible or lock Chi Huo in the Sumeru space.In order to avoid troubles in the future, Qin Bin now has to make plans for Chi Huo to appear in his life in the future.Of course, he himself was also very interested in those modern objects, but before he had time to buy them in the space, he had to hide in the village with the old lady and Liu Qingquan.Now that you have the opportunity to get free stuff, why not do it?
