tall and rhubarb

In terms of practice, Gao Chang's aptitude is really mediocre, but it is because he has an infinite longing for longevity. Woke up within an hour, but Gao Chang still saw the dawn of hope.

Gradually getting on the right track, Gao Chang would sit quietly every night for two to three hours, and as short as half an hour, four to five, or 10 minutes. After practicing for a while, Gao Chang found that his mental state was unusually good. There seems to be a breath of energy in the body, which can always bring vitality to one's body.

This mental method is so useful, I don't know if Grandma Gao can practice together, will she be able to live a few more years.In my memory, Grandma Gao died when Gao Chang was 17 years old, that is, in the autumn of this year.

But Da Huang said that although Gao Chang and Da Huang have already married, Gao Chang can be regarded as a member of the dog clan, but Gao Chang's relatives, that is, Grandma Gao, cannot be regarded as a dog clan member, nor can he practice dog clan mentality.Moreover, Grandma Gao is very old, and it is indeed too late to start practicing now. It will not prolong her life much at all, and it may even bring a burden to the old man's body.

This made Gao Chang very uncomfortable. After living alone in the city for many years, he knew the value of relatives even more. Gao Chang’s other relatives had long since died, and now only grandma was left, and her life was about to die. At the end of the day, Gao Chang was powerless to change.

"Grandma." Gao Chang moved a bench and sat at the door, watching Grandma Gao work.

"What's wrong?"

Grandma Gao was sitting by the ditch washing clothes, when an old hen clucked over to claim credit, she knew that the hen must have laid an egg, so she got up and went to the hen's nest to collect the eggs.Gao Chang went into the house and grabbed the rice from the rice tank and sprinkled it on the ground. It was regarded as a reward. Other roosters and hens wanted to come and snatch it, but he drove them away with a swing of the stick. This is their family practice, they don’t lay eggs There is no white rice for the chicken.

"Grandma, I don't want to go to college anymore." In those years, it was the common wish of all the adults in their village to let their children go to the city to go to college, and Grandma Gao was no exception, although she said that Grandma Gao might die soon She doesn't care whether Gao Chang goes to college or not, but he still thinks he should talk to grandma.

"Why?" Grandma Gao stopped washing, wiped the foam on her apron, and turned to look at Gao Chang.

"Grandma, I had a dream last night."

"What's the dream, you child, you don't want to go to college if you dream about it?" Grandma Gao squinted her eyes and smiled when she heard what Gao Chang said. Although the old man is very old, his eyes are still clear.

"It's not a good dream, grandma. I dreamed that I went to the city, and there was a famine. I couldn't find food anywhere, so I could only gnaw on tree bark." like a dream.

"Okay, why would I have such a dream." Grandma continued to wash the clothes again, muttering to herself while washing: "It must be because the ancestors have appeared, well, don't study if you don't go to university, or guard the land for peace of mind... "

"I don't want to study now, and I don't want to study in high school?" After experiencing life and death, those high school textbooks are useless in his eyes. Sitting in the classroom every day is a waste of time, and Gao Chang is also very irritable. Seeing that grandma is so open-minded today, he couldn't help but say it.

"That won't work. You have to go to high school. Didn't you hear people say that no one graduated from high school now, and no one wants to go out to work."

"Okay then." Knowing that there would be no result if he continued talking, Gao Chang had no choice but to shut up obediently.

Gao Chang would go to the elderly activity center to play mahjong every weekend, rain or shine.Gao Chang used to be able to count cards, but after practicing the mental method given by Da Huang recently, his memory became better and his brain turned faster than before. Basically, playing mahjong is sure to lose but never win, but in order to avoid envy, Gao Chang occasionally bleeds out some blood, and it is really not wise to go all out to fish.

At the beginning, some people saw him with a raw face, and he was a little brat, so they felt a little bully.But who is Gao Chang? Since he was in elementary school, he has been fighting wits and courage with the shrews and hairy boys in the village. Looking at the other party, hum, don't play mahjong if you have the guts.What?angry?No way, why are you playing so grandly when you come out to play? You can see that I am not without it when I play cards.

In less than two months, people who often go to the activity center for the elderly in the town will know Gao Chang. It is a small place, and every family is close to each other. Just ask around, and you will know who Gao Chang is. characters.From then on, no one really dared to trouble him. It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. The words of wisdom for thousands of years deeply reflect the nature of the Chinese people to bully the weak and fear the hard. Therefore, Gao Chang lived quite freely.

Originally, everyone came here just to play mahjong for fun, Gao Chang didn't play tricks, and he didn't pay back if he lost money, what else did they want?

As for rhubarb, after Gao Changqiang fed it several times with antipyretics, its body gradually recovered. In addition, their diet improved, and they often had meat and ribs. The originally skinny puppy gradually grew flesh. .

After Da Huang recovered, he no longer slept in Gao Chang's arms all day long, but lay on his shoulders to watch him play mahjong, and became addicted to watching him.One night, it pestered Gao Chang to buy him a set of mahjong to enjoy himself, but Gao Chang didn't have much spare money at the moment, buying a set of mahjong would cost tens of hundreds of dollars, most of the money he earned from playing mahjong I bought all the meat and ate it, and only when I was full would I buy a pair of mahjong and come back for collection.

If he had the spare money, Gao Chang would rather buy some daily necessities and hoard them first. Although there are still ten years before the end of the world, if he hoards food now, it will definitely be expired by then, but the daily necessities can still be prepared earlier.

He lived in the city in his previous life. When the chaos broke out, many people went to the countryside, and some supplies were not taken away in time, and daily necessities are not very scarce.The factories shut down and the market was paralyzed. For the people at that time, it was like returning from modern society to primitive society. There was no electricity, no running water, and no daily necessities that could be bought everywhere.Even a bottle of shampoo has to be found in a dark shopping complex, where there is no light, and they are not sure if there are dangerous animals lurking in it, and if they are not paralyzed, they can easily die.

This life will be different. Since he intends to live in the village, he will gain and lose. There is no need to worry about food, but industrial products will definitely be scarce. At that time, he will risk his life like he did in the city before. , and may not be able to find some necessities of life.

However, Gao Chang only lived in the apocalypse for a few months in his last life. Except for a small area of ​​his city, they did not get in touch with people from other places. Maybe in some important political and economic places, productivity is gradually recovering. Hard to say.

But it is also possible that as time goes by, human life will become more and more difficult. After all, those animals are manic and ferocious, with extremely strong attack power. If they are unarmed, ordinary people are no match for them at all.If you have a weapon, your chances of winning will be slightly improved, but those things are elusive, and it is not easy to completely eliminate them.

And the blue sun shines on the earth, the companions around you, the mice in the burrow, or the birds in the sky, they may be alienated at any time, some will die during the alienation process, and some will survive and become monsters.As long as the blue sun is not extinguished, it is impossible for human beings on the earth to obtain real peace, that is to say, the days to come cannot be too easy.

Their future is so difficult, but Rhubarb asked him to buy mahjong. Don't be kidding, buying a few packs of washing powder for storage is more practical than mahjong.Can you imagine a day without washing powder, soap and shampoo?Of course, he still can't tell others about these things, because he really can't explain his own experience, and it will be troublesome if people treat him as crazy.

Moreover, you tell a puppy how difficult the future will be, so you should think about the future now, and you can't buy mahjong. Can it listen to it?It's not that Gao Chang underestimated Da Huang's IQ, but that guy seemed unreliable.So Gao Chang said to Rhubarb: "You take out the money, and I will buy it for you."

Where does rhubarb have money?It scratched its head and couldn't think of a way to get money.Although it is in good health now, its skills are very agile, and it can climb over walls more nimbly than cats, but the dog family has always disdained theft.In particular, Rhubarb is a descendant of the dog god, and his memory is likely to be passed on. In any case, it cannot discredit the dog clan.

The money problem really stumped Rhubarb, and it did stop for a few days. Just when Gao Chang thought it had given up the idea of ​​buying mahjong, Rhubarb said that it was rich.

"Rich? Where did you get the money?" This guy won't really go over the wall, will he?

"That's not my money either. Can that...ancient money be used?" Rhubarb asked cautiously. It crawled slightly with its eyes tightly locked on Gao Chang, for fear that he would shake his head.

"You have to look at it to find out. The ancient currency left until now, usually only has collection value, and it is not easy to sell."

Gao Chang frowned, ancient money?Does this kid want to dig a grave?It turned out that the money had to be dug from the ground, but it was not a grave, but a place in their bamboo forest. Rhubarb said that it was money buried in their own fields in ancient times, not a funerary object.

With doubts, Gao Chang followed it into the bamboo forest with a hoe on his shoulder. This moso bamboo forest is the common property of their village, and it was also handed down from their ancestors. Everyone in the village has dug bamboo shoots here.Some people came here to hunt for treasure earlier, digging everywhere, but they found nothing except broken bowls and pottery pots, so people in the village said that their ancestors were poor and could not leave any good things behind. Dug in vain.
