[Waiting for the end of the world] Dongli chrysanthemum

Eleven looked at those messages with complicated emotions, but he couldn't do anything. His symptoms were very similar to the symptoms of the "Y virus" described by Yan Changnian, but he didn't dare to take risks. He could only wait and wait for the judgment of God. Then plan something else.

The calendar on the watch was turned over day by day, and the body temperature was measured again on November 36.5. It was [-] degrees Celsius. This was the data measured for three consecutive days. He breathed a sigh of relief, put the thermometer into the backpack, stood up, stretched his body, and moved a few times. He opened a small bag in the backpack, took out two pills and ate them.

He took the pills Qin Lai gave him every day without stopping. After he got sick, he found that he would feel better half an hour after taking the pills. It seemed that the pills had a certain resistance to the virus. He vaguely guessed, The pills Qin Lai gave him were not ordinary medicines, but elixir, which contained a certain amount of spiritual power. Perhaps this was also the reason why he entered the Qi training period before Yan Changnian.

Slowly absorbing the aura in the pill into the meridians, Eleven packed up the things in the cave and put them in the backpack, and climbed down along the vines. When he stepped on the ground, a black snake suddenly sprang up from the half-dead bushes , wrapped around his calf!

In the blink of an eye, Eleven's right hand flashed a faint golden light and touched the snake's body, and the snake's body was broken into several pieces!

His trousers were stained red with blood, he looked at them helplessly, and finally went to the distant stream to rub his trousers, and went on the road wet.He hasn't learned the dust removal technique yet, otherwise he would be able to restore the clothes to the cleanest state immediately, which is easier to use than any washing machine and dryer.

Although the body is extremely thin due to too much energy consumption in the body, but the strength is much stronger, the ears are sharp and the eyes are sharp, and the ability to see subtle things in the distance must be the effect of the heart formula.

He wants to go back to Yunyin Village.

It took five days to come here, and only one day to go back to walk out of the old forest. The closer to Yunyin Village, the sparser the trees in the mountain forest. Perhaps it is because of the timidity of being close to the countryside, and the distance from Yunyin Village Eleven stopped for a while at the top of the two hills before continuing to move forward while taking out his cell phone.When he came out of the house, he turned off his mobile phone to save power. Now that he turned it on again, there was still some power, so he called home.

Both Ding Aili and Tao Deming's mobile phones were turned off, and Eleven's heart jumped up, with a bad premonition, and then called Tao Yuanhang's mobile phone, and it took a long time for them to be picked up. Familiar voices came from the earpiece to the ears, the sobbing suona, the heavy drums, the sad and sad singing, and the mournful voice of the old woman made people tremble involuntarily.

Eleven held his breath and concentrated, Tao Yuanhang seemed to have changed places, and those heart-piercing sorrows and joys were much smaller.Tao Yuanhang's voice was exhausted, he yelled twice and no one spoke: "Which crazy person! If you don't talk, I'll die!"

Eleven's cochlea buzzed, and he said in a shy voice, "Why can't my parents' mobile phones get through? What's going on with you?"

"It's you?!" Tao Yuanhang didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly he laughed strangely. Killed you!"

During the period when Eleven left, people in the village were infected one after another and were forcibly taken to the county hospital. More than 40 people have died, regardless of age or sex, and there are people of all colors. The cremation was under the supervision of relevant departments. Tao Deming was infected with the Y virus first and had not yet been buried. Ding Aili also left with her husband, and the family was doing something.

In addition to Yunyin Village, people in counties, towns, and other villages also died one after another. The symptoms were similar. Towns and villages basically entered a state of martial law. Whenever there were suspected cases, they were taken away immediately, and their family members had to be quarantined for a period of time. You are only allowed to go out if you have the virus.The head of Yunyin Village, the head of the village, and the others are very strict with those who come back from outside. For the first few days, they can only live in the ancestral house at the west end of the village. They have to be monitored for a month before they are allowed to go back to their homes.

Although it was later reported that the Y virus was no longer contagious, many people in the village did not believe it. How could people die one after another if they were not contagious?And most of the dead were those who had a lot of contact with each other on weekdays, such as Tao Laosi and his wife.Tao's eldest four sons are nowhere to be seen, and there has been no news, so it may be a sign of bad luck; the youngest son was not infected, and Tao Guoqiang's wife has always been a hardy man, so it's okay.

Nowadays, most of the families in the village are avoiding their family members, not only the Tao family, but also other families who have died in the past.

"I didn't believe my cousin said that you were plagued by disasters. You said that you haven't come back for many years. We are all living well. When we come back, we will suffer. They are all dead. You are happy! Fuck Hurry up and roll as far as you can, my father only has two sons, so don't worry about it, this is what my father said before he died, Tao Lao Si only has two sons, Tao Xiulei and Tao Yuanhang!"

Tao Deming and Ding Aili love this youngest son the most. The eldest son still half-indulges him when he is old. He doesn't want to go to work, that is to say, he is reluctant to force him with all his strength, and has developed a pampered character. They are Tao Yuanhang's sky, they After his death, Tao Yuanhang's sky also collapsed.

"Please, don't come back." Tao Yuanhang said in a gloomy voice, "They have spirits in the sky, and they don't want to see you. Don't let them die and have no peace."

At that time, the Y virus had not been around for a long time, and everyone was in panic. Tao Yuanhang had seen the appearance of the elder brother, and he believed that the elder brother had infected his parents. Now that the parents are gone, the elder brother who thought he would die outside suddenly appeared. How can he balance in his heart?He blamed everything on his elder brother.

Like a bolt from the blue, this reality knocked Shi Yi into hell, and he would never be able to stand up again. His heart was stagnant, and even his breathing was almost stagnant.

Eleven ran quickly, not daring to enter the village rashly, hid in the forest behind an old neem tree and looked around, his heart sank into the ice water, his blood could not circulate, and he stopped in the familiar yard In the coffin, Tao Xiulei, Tao Yuanhang and Tao Xiaomei were dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, people of all colors came and went, and the black and white portraits placed on the coffin were extremely glaring.Sliding down the tree trunk and falling to the ground, Eleven was in a state of blank mind for a while.

The mournful music and singing are still there, but they can be heard like flowers in a mirror, but they are far away in the sky, and they are not real at all.

Scenes of the past flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

As the eldest son, before high school, Tao Deming had great expectations for Eleven, hoping that he would be admitted to university and lead the family out of poverty and live a good life.He failed the college entrance examination once, and he comforted himself with a miss, firmly believing that his son was outstanding, why was his brain broken?Nonsense!Going all out to sell pots and sell iron, borrow all relatives, and let him go to college!

Tao Deming worked hard to earn money all year round, and had almost no time to communicate with his children. At that time, mobile phones were not very popular, and the family's financial situation did not allow it. He could only see each other during the Chinese New Year, and he had to study hard and be admitted to university. .

But how did Eleven repay him?The grades are worse than the last one!Hate iron but not steel?Sad for his misfortune, angry for his incompetence?

As long as Tao Deming gets the result, he doesn't care about the process. He believes that his son will not focus on his studies when he is in the rebellious period.

On the eleventh day of that year, the day before New Year's Eve, they lived in Tao Laoer's house. The time had passed so long that all the memories had turned into black and white photos, but on the eleventh day, he remembered very clearly. Eat a piece of candy, it was given to him by his grandfather, and it has not been held for two seconds. The second aunt didn't know what to do and came back, maybe something went wrong outside, and she said a few words to him, probably some young man Lazy bones, not doing things, Tao Deming just heard it, and Tao Deming was furious about his son's grades. Hearing this, he ignited the gunpowder keg and told Shi Shi to kneel in the old house overgrown with grass, asking him to "reflect on his son's performance." Introspection", kneeling on the [-]th is the middle of the night.

It was still cold in winter before, maybe just over ten degrees Celsius. After finishing his work, he got hot, so he took off his coat and only put on a long-sleeved shirt. His whole body was shivering from the cold. Tao Deming didn’t let him get up, so he was alone. Kneeling there, it was cold, and when grandma found out and came to him, my mother was there, but my mother only listened to my father, and my mother was a little afraid of him. She always felt that it was the merits she cultivated in her previous life.

Grandma was not afraid of Dad, so she dragged him back. His whole body was sore and limp, and he had caught a cold, so when he went back, he would scold him again——

If Tao Xiulei and Tao Yuanhang were replaced, no matter who they were, they would end up much better than him. One who can speak well and the other who can be coquettish will come to trouble. Unlike him, no matter what happens, he will not want to argue. He defended himself, but Tao Deming, who was in a rage, had a loud voice, and liked to use his parental airs to overwhelm others, and would always put a hat on him. Tao Deming was straightforward and honest, but it was enough for a submissive son, and the resistance would only usher in a stronger one. Roaring, but low-browed and pleasing to the eye, Tao Deming became more and more annoyed, so gradually, Eleven gave up.

On the surface, he is very docile, he listens to what he says, in fact, only Eleven knows, he just feels tired, many times, he thought about running away from home, but in the end he didn't take action.

The lesson was profound enough. Tao Deming thought that his son would always have some changes, but Eleven still did not meet his expectations. The college entrance examination results were even worse than last year. Tao Deming gave up. Fortunately, his second son made up for this loss. The first college student in his family was a prestigious university. His face had never been so beautiful before, and the depression caused by his eldest son was quickly forgotten, and he held a celebration banquet for Tao Xiulei. Care, just say "follow him".

Although he knew very early on that in his father's eyes, he was not as good as Tao Xiulei, Tao Yuanhang, or even Tao Xiaomei. After living for 30 years, he still couldn't understand why his father had such a big opinion of him as a son and daughter?Is it because he was ashamed of not being admitted to university for two consecutive years?Or is it because you earn too little money?He who had been placed with high hopes was so hopeless that he lost Tao Laosi's old face.

... Sometimes he wanted to ask his father, but the words twirled around on the tip of his tongue, but he still couldn't ask.

Now that I want to ask, I can't ask, besides, what's the use of saying this?This family that is not very cohesive is about to fall apart, and he can't even see them for the last time. No matter what misunderstandings, love or hate, there is nowhere to pursue them, and there is no object for those emotions.

Tao Deming regarded him as the chief culprit, and he didn't want him to go back when he was dying, and he didn't recognize him as his son. He worked hard all his life, but he was about to be killed by a disease. Everything has been subverted, and they will have to endure inhuman torture until they die!Is it more than a word of hate that can be summed up?

Eleven didn't know how to react, went to their graves and cried bitterly, begging for forgiveness?Or is it so painful that life would be worse than death?If time could be turned back, he would rather he had been out and never went back, maybe all of this would not have happened.

Or, he would rather he hadn't been born. Tao Deming felt ashamed of his existence. Why didn't Eleven himself think so?He always had no sense of existence and could not contribute to the family. When he was a child, he was very smart when he was studying. Tao Deming often boasted outside. Unexpectedly, when he was older, he became an excuse for others to laugh at Tao Laosi.

He knew that except his parents, no one would give to others regardless of the return. He felt deeply guilty about Tao Deming and Ding Aili.He failed their expectations, and he couldn't make life better for them and himself.

When the closest relatives left, he would only be resentful and treat them coldly before they were alive, but now he realizes that he regrets it.

He regretted even more why he didn't teach them the secret formula. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand possibility, it would be better than nothing.At the beginning, I wanted to practice for a period of time to see the effect and side effects, but this is the hesitation, heaven and man are separated!

But, what's the use of regretting?

Tao Deming is gone, Ding Aili is gone, they are his close relatives, from now on, they can't see each other again, can't talk to each other again, whether it's disputes, neglect, or rare warmth, all vanished.
