Surviving the end of the world

But before anyone succeeded in finding the weasel's lair, someone came back in a state of embarrassment. They encountered a group of wild dogs.

Although they wore a lot of clothes and people ran in time, it was just that a large part of the trousers was bitten, but everyone still had lingering fears.Just as there is never a shortage of stray cats and stray dogs in the city, there is never a shortage of wild cats and dogs in the countryside.The cats and dogs raised in the countryside are common breeds, and many people will raise them. Dogs may be kept on a leash, but cats are never.Moreover, unlike any cats and dogs in the city that have to be sent to the pet hospital for a knife, generally no one in the countryside has such leisurely thoughts. When it comes to the season of estrus, these cats and dogs will naturally breed themselves, and the kittens and puppies born It will be given away, and those who cannot be given away will be thrown away directly. Those who can survive in the wild will naturally become wild cats and dogs.

Every year, cats and dogs are discarded, and these cats and dogs will multiply in the wild, so the number is not small.These cats and dogs seldom appeared in front of people before. After all, everyone was not friendly to these wild cats and dogs. They would have fleas on them, and they might have rabies virus. unwelcome.

Now it is obvious that in such a cold winter, those wild cats and dogs have a hard time. Most of their previous food sources were leftovers thrown away by the villagers. Some voles or something to fill the hunger, but now everyone's life is hard, often there is only enough to eat, and there is no leftover.The weather was cold, the ground was as frozen as a rock, and the voles also hid in the holes they dug to avoid showing their heads. They were so hungry that they had to ask the villagers for their ideas.

Maybe many people wronged the weasel before. It is estimated that many of the chickens and ducks that were killed and dragged away in this village were taken away by these wild cats and dogs wandering in the wild.

Regardless of whether it is a human or an animal, when the mountains and rivers are at the end of the day, the fighting power is very strong. These wild cats and dogs, who originally wanted to avoid people, are now fighting. Before, they just sneaked into the village at night to steal. I also wandered around in the village. They are mostly skinny due to hunger, but correspondingly, they are also very flexible. Compared with them, people who are bulging in clothes look very bloated.Therefore, if you are not paying attention when you are cooking or eating, a wild cat may run onto the table with a piece of cake in its mouth, and before you have time to react, it will disappear without a trace.

However, just like these cats and dogs are staring at the villagers, the villagers are also staring at them, even if they are skinny, if they can kill one, clean it up, at least a catty of meat can be cleaned up, and Nowadays, there is nothing to be picky about. The internal organs of cats and dogs can be eaten after cleaning. As for the rabies virus, if you cook it for a while, there will be no problem!

Suddenly, a strange ecological balance appeared. Those wild cats and dogs wandered around the village regardless of their lives. Some even made nests in the haystacks, and from time to time, some villagers could be seen, Holding sticks or bricks, chasing and beating a wild dog or wild cat, but generally speaking, the villagers were at a disadvantage. After all, it was a cold day, and the villagers did not dare to sweat at will, for fear of being careless. , sweating and freezing.

The days passed like this day by day, and the villagers are almost used to the presence of these wild cats and dogs. Although they often suffer losses, they can only comfort themselves. At least there are no mice in the house now. Not much, at least these cats and dogs can give the family extra meals if they catch them. Even at this time, the people in the village are not mentally prepared to eat mice.Maybe voles are different, but who has the leisure to look for voles in the ground? Don't cats and dogs dig those frozen hard ground, people can dig it casually, don't make the loss outweigh the gain.

Nowadays, there is no calendar, and the radio cannot be heard. Naturally, everyone can’t figure out the time. The previous experience is useless now. The seeds of rice, but according to the current climate, I am afraid that they will not be able to be planted in the future.After the winter lasted for a long time, under the nagging of the children, everyone slowly remembered that it seems that it should be the time of the New Year now.

There was a shortage of supplies and heavy losses this winter. Everyone was not in the mood for the New Year at all, but they had to appease the children who had been waiting for a year, so they cheered up and asked the butcher for a few catties of meat with food. From thin to dry, I have to take out a few eggs that I was reluctant to eat before, mainly for children. At most, adults just taste the taste and deceive their own mouths.

Just when everyone was celebrating the New Year extravagantly, Yang Xiaoyun actually came to the village.

Yang Xiaoyun is only in her 40s this year, but because of the hard life of the past two years, her face, which was originally relatively good because of her good life, and she also likes to dress up, is now stained with wind and frost, and the hair exposed from the hat Some greasy, mixed with some gray, not much color on her face, her cheekbones protruded due to the emaciation caused by lack of nutrition, and many fine lines appeared on her forehead and the corners of her eyes. Chen Jin sized her up carefully , Before she felt uncomfortable, she greeted: "Auntie, sit down!"

Yang Xiaoyun sat down on the stool a little bit awkwardly, her eyes fell on the kang table, Chen Jin and Bai Jing were eating just now, and there was a large pot of potatoes and roasted duck on the kang table, although it was already a little cold, but it could still be eaten. Smelling the fragrance, even though she was already an adult, she still swallowed unconsciously and looked away with some difficulty.

No matter what, this is still her stepmother. Chen Jin hesitated for a while, and then filled Yang Xiaoyun with a bowl of corn and pumpkin porridge from the pot: "Auntie hasn't eaten yet, what's the matter, let's talk about it after dinner!"

Yang Xiaoyun pursed her lips forcefully, and forced a smile on her face: "No, Xiaojin, I'm here, yes, I have something to ask of you!" Her voice dropped when she said this.

Chen Jin was taken aback, Yang Xiaoyun has always been a strong character, although she can guess that there must be something wrong with her coming this time, but how could she use a word of begging!He was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Auntie, tell me first!" Although he didn't like Yang Xiaoyun, he couldn't say any blunt bad words when facing the elders, so he could only be perfunctory first.

Yang Xiaoyun naturally knew the refusal in Chen Jin's tone, but she had no other choice, otherwise, she wouldn't have run over to find Chen Jin without telling Father Chen, she twisted her fingers hard, and finally made up her mind, Looking up at Chen Jin, she said pleadingly, "Xiao Jin, I know you don't like me and Chen Zhe, but I really have no other choice!"

"Why didn't my dad come?" Chen Jin interrupted her rudely.

Yang Xiaoyun was choked, what should she say, Dad Chen didn't know what happened?She took a deep breath and finally said, "Xiao Jin, can you listen to me first?"

Chen Jin nodded casually, while Bai Jing didn't have much affection for Yang Xiaoyun, he directly picked up the bowl, and started to eat as if no one else was there, drinking the porridge loudly, and deliberately chewing the bones until "creaking" She picked up a piece of duck with chopsticks and fed it to Chen Jin again, making Yang Xiaoyun almost unable to sit still.

Bai Jing's behavior can be called childish, but Chen Jin cooperated very well. He ate the piece of duck with Bai Jing's chopsticks, spat out the bone, and then turned the duck's neck out graciously, and gave it to Bai Jing .

Yang Xiaoyun just felt upset, she still remembered that she came to beg for help, and suddenly she knelt down with a plop, her eyes were red: "Xiaojin, Auntie, please help save Xiaozhe! Everything before is all about Auntie Not good, but Xiaozhe was still young at that time, so he didn't do anything bad!"

Even if Chen Jin had resentment towards Yang Xiaoyun, it was hard to watch her elder just kneel down for herself, so she stood up and helped Yang Xiaoyun up, and her tone became stiff: "Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it, such a toss is not for nothing. My birthday?"

Yang Xiaoyun knew that Chen Jin was a little annoyed at the moment, but she was willing to go all out, and even though the matter was a bit embarrassing, she still told the matter.

It was indeed Chen Zhe who caused the trouble. Chen Zhe is now 21. Even though he is so young, he has not been wronged much. At least he can still eat and wear warm clothes.Chen Zhe is no exception to the so-called satiety and lust.Chen Zhe can speak well, and he is not bad in appearance. It didn't take long before he hooked up with Chen Guifeng, the daughter of Chen Changlin's family in the third team. Chen Guifeng is one year younger than Chen Zhe, and she is not bad in appearance, and her personality is very suitable for Chen Zhe's preferences. , Naturally, the two started dating very quickly. These days, premarital sex is not a rare thing. It is not easy for young people to control it. Together.

At this time, condoms are naturally not available. Chen Guifeng's pregnancy is also a matter of course. Chen Zhe is still a child who has not grown up. He is not ready for marriage at all, let alone being a father. Ci He comforted Chen Guifeng without expressing his intentions, and he went back in a panic. Yang Xiaoyun naturally found out that something was wrong with Chen Zhe, and after questioning, Chen Zhe told Yang Xiaoyun the whole thing.

Logically speaking, the solution to this matter is very simple. Although Yang Xiaoyun also knows that it is not a good thing to have two more people in the family at this time, she finally made a decision. No matter what, it is obviously inappropriate to have an abortion at this time. In fact, selfishness is human nature, but Yang Xiaoyun has not yet reached the point where she wants to kill people, so she decided to go to Chen Changlin's family to propose a marriage, and just get married!

However, it is clear that Chen Changlin and his wife don't think so. Chen Changlin's family used to run a stewed vegetable shop in the town, and they are the most fussy people. In their eyes, Chen Zhe is obviously not a good match. After all, Father Chen and his family of three The people and the private land add up to less than two acres. No matter how good the job was before, it doesn’t matter what the son is a student of a prestigious university.Chen Changlin and his family have more than one child, Chen Guifeng, and Chen Guifeng also has a younger brother. Compared with their daughter, they naturally value their son more, so they hope to get a large gift when they marry their daughter, so that their precious son can live a better life. a little better.

Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Chen Guifeng say that he was pregnant. Chen Changlin and his wife almost died of anger. Obviously, the plan to make Chen Guifeng another person will not work. After all, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines Yes, there is nothing, abortion is definitely not allowed, that is to say, if the daughter does not marry Chen Zhe, she will probably have to bring a bottle of oil. At this time, who would marry a woman with children!Therefore, after thinking about it, he opened his mouth directly and told Yang Xiaoyun that if he wanted to marry Chen Guifeng, he would bring the bride price. Don't mention anything else, let's talk about five hundred catties of grain first.

Yang Xiaoyun is not a temperament to be bullied. In fact, in this kind of thing, it is the woman who suffers in the final analysis. Naturally, she refused to agree, and directly told Chen Changlin that she didn't have much money, and the bride price could not be negotiated. Not his own son, let him marry his daughter to someone who is willing to give such a lot of gifts!

Chen Changlin also had no choice but to compare this special time with normal times. If it was two years ago, a girl like Chen Guifeng would not have received tens of thousands of dollars in gifts, so she would never have gotten married. But now that her daughter is pregnant, The market is naturally different. He doesn't want to raise a daughter and has to raise a grandson. It's not that he doesn't love his daughter, but these days, he can't afford to feel bad!Chen Changlin and his wife had no choice but to hold back their anger and bargained with Yang Xiaoyun for a while, and finally settled on a gift of fifty catties of grain and five catties of salt. I went to find Dad Chen and had to argue with him.

Father Chen is a very traditional and face-saving person. If he knew that Chen Zhe was irresponsible and made the girl's temper stronger, the first thing he would do would be to clean up Chen Zhe first, and save food and save money. But with five catties of salt, there was less than two catties left in the family. Yang Xiaoyun had no choice but to come and find Chen Jin.
