Survival [End Times]

Although there is no stagnant water, various small animals are extremely active under the moisture of the rain.

The first is the relatively common ground dragon. The corridor is almost crawling with all kinds of messy crawlers clinging to the entire wall.

Secondly, some small mice actually got into the residential area.

Yu Heng's house was tightly surrounded, and although no mice crawled in, every night when I went to bed, I could always hear the squeaking and scratching sounds of mice from all directions.

Of course, it's scary for people who are afraid of these animals, but for everyone else, it's just a meaty meal.

These days, I can always smell the smell of meat. Even though Yu's father feels sick when he thinks of eating rat meat, he is still tickled by the smell of meat.

No matter how much canned meat you have at home, it is still cured meat and is no more attractive than fresh meat.

Seeing that his father was so greedy for meat, Yu Heng planned to go out and catch some small animals after the rain stopped.

Early the next morning, Yu Heng heard someone screaming from the second building next door.

The scream was also very noticeable in the rain.

He didn't pay attention and continued to sleep. After the noise there, there were suddenly several high-pitched screams:

"don't want!!"

"Bang!"

Yu Heng sat up and ran to the balcony. He opened the vine net and looked next door. He saw a figure lying on the ground, his hands and feet still twitching.

Soon, several people ran downstairs and hurriedly carried the man back.

"Did someone jump off the building?"

I don’t know what happened, but in the evening, another person jumped off the building in the second building next door.

Mother Yu: "What's going on? Why did two people suddenly jump off the building?" She had already heard from her son that someone had jumped off the building in the early morning.

When the heavy rain stopped, the air in the forest was fresh and cold, and the birds chirped extremely cheerfully.

However, on such a sunny day after the rain, which was full of bright colors, Lai King Garden ushered in seven funerals.

In the open space in front of the community, a straw mat was doused with gasoline. After the fire, the person's life ended.

People who had been trapped by heavy rain for more than ten days walked out of their homes for the first time and exchanged news with each other.

The Yu family also went downstairs and stretched their hands and feet in the open space. The weak sunlight shines on people's bodies, dispelling the musty smell that has been there for many days.

Very few people talk to Yu's father and Yu's mother, and they feel that the Yu family is impersonal.

However, there are also people who have no conflict and come to talk to Yu's mother with a smile: "The weather is really nice, it's raining well! The water saved is enough."

Mother Yu was a little surprised, but she was also very happy that someone was talking to her. She smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Huang Sumei from Building 301. Is that your son? He's so young! He's capable!"

Someone praises her son. How can a mother be unhappy? Mother Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. It's all his own success."

Most of the topics that middle-aged women talk about are children and life. After talking about children, Huang Sumei whispered: "Do you know why they... are doing that?"

Mother Yu was startled and whispered: "You can't say it here."

The fire over there has been extinguished, and the family members are crying and restraining themselves.

Huang Sumei smiled: "It's my fault, my fault..." She clasped her hands and bowed over there, "Don't blame me."

He turned back to Mother Yu and said, "When are you free? I want to sit at your house and discuss something with you."

Mother Yu hesitated: "My house is very chaotic. If something happens to you, can I go to your house?"

"Okay! That's very welcome. Can you invite your son to come with us?"

"I have to ask."

At this point, Yu's mother knew that he was a drunkard and was not interested in drinking, so she went to tell Yu Heng and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Yu Heng could see that Yu's mother really wanted to go on a visit. She had been bored for too long. "Go ahead, I'll go with you."

"Okay, let your dad cook at home and we go out as guests."

Father Yu smiled bitterly when he saw his son holding his wife and going with someone to visit. He glanced at the house a few more times, followed the others, said his condolences, and then went upstairs.

Huang Sumei's family also has a lot of stuff, but it's no better than the Yu family, which has no place to spend their time.

"Drink, drink."

After sitting down, Huang Sumei asked her daughter to get a drink: "We only have orange juice at home, so just order it."

Mother Yu waved her hand: "No, you're welcome!"

"Sister-in-law of the Yu family, don't be polite! You come to my house as a guest and you can't even get a sip of water? Zhenling, hurry up!"

When her daughter brought the drinks, she enthusiastically poured a drink for Yu Heng and Yu's mother, saying, "You're welcome."

"Let's continue talking about what we just said. In fact, I know two of the seven families. They are both from our building. It was really noisy when it rained a while ago."

Huang Sumei is also a neat person. She starts the topic as soon as possible and goes straight to the point: "Their family was shouting for help, and we all went there. You didn't see that her husband's face was hairy! His eyes were so... Not like a person.

He attacked his mother-in-law and bit others. The old lady, son and daughter at home were all frightened. The man in the building finally managed to catch the man, but by mistake, the man jumped downstairs by himself. All of a sudden the people were gone.

They all said he was possessed by evil spirits, alas. "

Huang Sumei talked about another incident in a curious and sympathetic tone: "This is a little girl, the only daughter of the family above my house. She is only twenty-four years old. Her good-looking face looks like a mouse, and she cries every day. My parents didn’t watch, so I jumped off the building when I couldn’t stand it.”

He said to Yu's mother: "Sister-in-law of the Yu family, tell me, how could this person, who is so good, become... like that?"

Mother Yu was already frightened.

If her son, Lao Yu, hadn't been so capable, would he be like a beast now?

He forced a smile and said, "I, I don't know, it sounds scary."

"Mom, take a sip." Yu Heng handed her the water glass, held her trembling hand, and turned to look at Huang Sumei: "Aunt Huang, didn't you say you have something to discuss with my mother? What is it?"

Huang Sumei clapped her hands: "Yes, yes! I heard that the vines on your window can prevent insects, right? It's been raining recently, and the insect infestation in the house is terrible. My daughter Zhenling is scared to look at her. Lost weight.

So I want to do something like yours, but we only have two women in our family. I want to invite you to your family - Yu Heng, right? Help! Can you take my daughter? I won’t let you work in vain, Zhenling, bring that wine—”

Huang Zhenling went to get two more bottles of wine.

"This is red wine, xx, good stuff! A glass of red wine a day is better than a living god. Drink it every day, it is good for your health."

"I also heard people say that your son is great and your family is also an honest person, so I thought of asking you for a favor. It is really difficult for us orphans and widowed girls."

Yu's mother looked at Yu Heng and asked him to make his own decision.

"I happen to be going out tomorrow, so I can take you there along the way, but I also have my own things to do. Can you come back by yourself?"

"Uh... can't we come back together?" Huang Sumei didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, so she quickly said, "We can wait until you finish your work and come back together."

"That's fine, I'll come find you then. Do you have a saw?"

"No."

"Then I'll lend you one."

"Thank you very much!"

"Mom, go back. Dad's rice should be ready."

"Just sit a little longer..."

Seeing the Yu family's mother and son leave, Huang Sumei breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around to see her daughter sitting dumbly like a piece of wood. She became so angry that she hit her twice.

"Why are you so stupid! Remember to behave well tomorrow, do you hear me?"

"oh."

"Wear something good-looking, just that skirt...forget it, I'll match it for you."

Walking on the corridor, Yu's mother asked him: "Why do you want to go out?"

"Well, there must be a lot of wild fungi outside after this rain. I'll go take a look. And isn't Dad very greedy for meat?"

Yu's mother said, "Let your father go with you. He is very strong now."

Yu Heng smiled: "Okay."

When I talked about this with Father Yu when I got home, Father Yu felt like his mouth was watering.

"Then I'll go too! Go next door and ask Xiao Cui if he wants to go."

Mother Yu also thought it was good, as there were many people and they could take care of each other. It happened that the leeks at home were ripe. She made dumplings and baked leek and potato flour cakes, and asked Yu Heng to deliver them to Cui Nan.

Cui Nan is living quite comfortably these days. His current body likes such a humid environment very much.

Other people are afraid of the snake that crawls into his house, but the little snake that crawls into his house becomes his little brother.

In this humid rainy season, certain snake characteristics in his body became more and more obvious, and he even began to hear some simple snake language.

The snakes were a little afraid of him.

When Yu Heng came over with something, he was opening the window and letting a snake in.

This was a small black snake, only as thick as his thumb and more than thirty centimeters. As soon as I climbed in, I rubbed his hand.

"Are you full?"

The snake wrapped around his wrist, and the little snake stretched out to lick his hand.

"Hey, come down first and I'll open the door."

The snake slithered down and got under the table.

When he opened the door, he smelled a scent. After hearing Yu Heng's question, he responded immediately.

"It just so happens that I also want to go out and catch some snakes to bring back for the tooth festival."

So we made a plan to go hunting.

The next day, Yu Heng and his son and Cui Nan set off together and called Huang Zhenling on the way.

As soon as he saw her dress, Yu Heng frowned: "You can't dress like this. I'll go back and change. After I take you to the location, I'll have to climb a tree and cut the canes myself."

Huang Sumei, who was asking Yu Heng to take good care of her daughter, paused and said hesitantly: "Do you still have to climb a tree?"

Yu Heng said seriously: "Didn't you ask me to lead the way yesterday? She must do it herself. We still have our own things to do. And have you never been out? There are a lot of mosquitoes, snakes and ants outside. Is it okay to wear something like this? It definitely won’t work.”

Wearing a fairy-like sleeveless long dress and small-heeled sandals?

Yu Heng swore he could smell the perfume. Jesus, this isn't an outing.

Huang Sumei's expression suddenly changed. Mother and daughter had indeed never been out. She had always been diligent and thrifty, and before the big change happened, she happened to buy a batch of special food at the mall - she was a purchaser for a certain unit, and was responsible for purchasing materials for participating in a volunteer activity at the welfare home in a week.

The things were piled up at her house, just enough for the mother and daughter to eat for more than a month.

Although she had some thoughts in her mind, she felt very embarrassed by such an embarrassment, so she quickly said: "Oh, it's my fault! I'm such a careless mother! Please wait a moment, I'll take her to change it right now!"

"Hurry up, if you don't know how to change, just look at what we're wearing."

"I know, I know!"

The three people went back upstairs to wait.

Seeing his son talking to his wife without knowing anything, Yu's father sighed and looked at Cui Nan, both of whom had a tacit understanding.

Cui Nan couldn't help laughing: "Why does Uncle Yu look so worried?"

Father Yu shook his head. He was not the kind of person who said bad things about other people's widows and orphans.

After seeing the hidden thoughts of the Huang family mother and daughter, Father Yu paid some subtle attention to Huang Zhenling when he saw her again.

The girl looked a little timid and a little wooden, and said to her son dryly, "I'm scared, Brother Yu, can you hold my hand?"

He almost stumbled.

Then he heard his son say, "That's how it is outside. If you don't overcome your fear, you won't have to go out for the rest of your life."

Huang Sumei laughed: "She just admires you, a little girl..."

Yu Heng was not a fool either. Huang Sumei was a little higher, but her daughter was really clear at a glance.

I think these words were also taught to her by her mother. It was also helpless for a girl of seventeen or eighteen to listen to her mother in everything.

Huang Zhenling pursed her lips, and even if her mother twisted her again, she refused to continue the conversation.
