doomsday son-in-law

Chapter 1148 The Difficult Scavengers

There are hundreds of thousands of dilapidated villages like this on this planet.

They become places where scavengers live.

An old-looking man was walking on a mountain of garbage in the middle of the village.

Some objects here have existed for more than ten years, and there are still many bones piled up in them, many mice, mosquitoes and flies flying around.

Mice and larger flies are food.

It's just that these things are not easy to grasp.

They also seem to have had some small mutations in Doomsday.

Those flies will fly away a few meters away from them, as if they can feel the smell of crisis.

There are also mice that are smarter. When they are far away, they are obviously running around, but they can't see any of them when they get on this garbage dump?
"Hey monk, can't you eat anything today? Just call me Xiaoye, and I'll give you one."

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy appeared in front of the monk with a proud expression on his face.

After all, he is young, has strong hands, and can make traps, so he successfully caught four mice early in the morning, found a mouse nest, and caught more than a dozen cubs, which is a good thing.

Before the doomsday, rats became animals that would be beaten on the street because of their super reproductive ability, the bacteria they carried, and their nature of stealing food.

About the same as a cockroach spider.

People have never thought that these disgusting animals after the doomsday will keep almost one percent of the survivors from starving to death in the world, and they can live on their last breath.

The middle-aged man called a monk is not actually a monk. His hair is very long, and his beard is also very long. It grows all over his face, covering his facial features. It seems that he hasn't had a haircut for many years.

"Lin Xi, you have to learn to be polite."

"Polite shit! I've been a bastard since I was a child, and I grew up in this doomsday. My mother sold herself here and there to support me. Now she's sick and dying. You want me to be polite? I don't know how to do it at all!"

"I went to see your mother last night. It's not a big problem. It's just long-term malnutrition and unhygienic food, so she is weak. If she can have good conditions to cultivate, she will gradually recover."

"Old monk, what are you? A doctor?"

"Doctor, also called doctor, Lin Xi, you really should learn more words from me, whether it's Chinese or English, your expression is very poor."

"Let's roll the ball! Do you think the young master can't even speak?"

"Of course you will, but not very well."

"Fart! Young master sees you as pitiful and wants to give you something to eat, count the ball now! Get away, don't get in the way here, you can't catch the mice, but scare them away instead."

The man named Monk sighed, turned around, and walked down.

Leaving the rubbish dump, walk on the dilapidated and grassy path, bypass several small dilapidated houses, walk through an abandoned agricultural parking lot, pass through several empty grain silos, pass a small windmill square, of course The phoenix chariot could no longer turn.

Finally, the monk came to a dilapidated house that had obviously been repaired many times.

The door was unlocked and opened a crack.

The monk went to open the door and walked inside.

There were two rooms in the house, and the living room outside was dark.

This is normal.

When people choose a place to live, they will seal the windows. Maybe there will be zombies outside when they wake up. If it is just a window, it may not be able to escape the sight of the zombies. It will be safer to nail it to death with a wooden board.

The living room is full of all kinds of things, all of which Lin Xi picked up from the garbage dump. They can be useful if nothing can be said, but most of the time, they are just garbage.

The monk walked to the bedroom door and knocked lightly.

"A monk?"

"what."

"Brother, come in quickly."

The monk pushed the door open, and the woman in the room was about to get up.

She looks 40 years old, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, a thin body, and a sallow complexion. It can be seen that she should be a beauty when she was young, but in the last 11 years, the miserable life has smoothed everything about her, making her what she is today.

The monk hurried over, told her to lie down quickly, and said softly:

"Don't get up, why are you being polite to me?"

"Yeah, we've been neighbors for three years."

"Ah."

"Have you seen that child Lin Xi?"

"I see, he is doing well today, four mice, and a litter of small ones."

"That's great, you'll come to eat later."

"No, I'm going to look further afield."

"Further away?"

The woman's face turned pale, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"will you come back?"

Doomsday is like this. Once you go to a distant place, even if it is ten kilometers away, you may not be able to return, especially for scavengers who do not have any rough stones.

"Of course, I'm just going to find something to eat."

"Hey, monk, don't be angry with that kid. I never educated him like that. I always told him to respect you. But you know, kids who grow up in the last days, they know what they want, and they have what they belong to. Their values ​​are different from ours."

"I know, in fact, I have always been grateful to you. In the most difficult time, it was your mother and son who gave me food."

"We help each other so we can persevere and say no thanks. It's just that Lin Xi is a little unhappy because I gave you some food, but please believe that the child's nature is actually very good."

"I know, boy, you need to have a sense of territoriality, I understand. Okay, okay, I heard that your health is not good, so come and have a look. Yuan Na, you must persevere, and only by living can there be hope. !"

The woman smiled and nodded, saying:

"Lin Xi is my hope."

"Ah."

The man got up and walked out.

When he arrived at the door, the woman suddenly said again.

"Monk, you are also my hope."

The monk stopped and didn't look back.

The woman sat on the bed without looking at him, with a happy smile on her face.

"In those years, in order to support Lin Xi, I did not hesitate to pay any price, and my whole body became numb. Three years ago, Lin Xi and I were surrounded by zombies. If you hadn't lured the zombies away, we would have died. Afterwards, we found this place to live and depended on each other for life. , I think this life is the best I have ever experienced in the doomsday! Scavengers all have stories of scavengers who are unwilling to go to human gathering areas for various reasons, and now we can’t go even more. People who don’t have rough stones, the last The good ending is to be a slave, or else be a beggar. We don’t want to be slaves, that’s no freedom. We don’t want to be beggars, that would be bullied by others. Now it’s fine, I have Lin Xi, and you...Monk, You don't need to say anything to me, and I don't need you to tell me anything, I am an unclean woman, what I hope is that Lin Xi will grow up well, and you will always be by my side."

The monk's body trembled slightly.

After a long time, he said softly:

"Yuan Na, you are a good woman. You have raised Lin Xi very well. He has a great ability to survive, which is very great... My hope of living, or strength, comes from hatred. I have the bloodstains of deep hatred. If you don't report it, I will die with regret, you have always been a good woman, I am not good enough."

Yuan Na was taken aback.

In her impression, the monk was just an honest man, but she didn't expect to have hatred?

If you want to say that she also has hatred, such as those years, those tramps, those fat old men with rough stones, and those seemingly kind women who deceived her.

They are all her hatred.

But now she has forgotten everything, what is more important than being alive, being alive can raise Lin Xi, that is the best.

When Yuan Na was thinking about these things, she suddenly realized that she was the only one left in the room, and the monk had left.

She sat there in a daze, thinking about the hatred of the monk.

What is it, and why can't he let it go?

"mom!"

As soon as the door rang, Lin Xi came back.

"son."

"Haha, we got five mice, one litter of small ones, this is enough for both of us to eat."

"Five? Your uncle monk said it was four."

"Tch, I have the ability to make one in such a short while, and the monk is here again?"

"Lin Xi, I told you to respect him. He once saved our lives."

"Last year, he was about to starve to death. Twice, we gave him food to keep him alive, so we don't owe him any kindness!"

"You can't think like this. If he hadn't saved us at the beginning, we would have died three years ago."

"Okay, okay, I see, leave one for him, let's eat two each!"

"No, mom can just eat one. There are two of you. Mom's appetite is small, so you can raise the litter and eat it when it's bigger."

"What are you talking about? How do you feed it? I'll eat it tonight. I'm growing, but let's be half of each other."

"Heh, eat all of it, mom doesn't want it."

"Okay, then I won't be polite to you, Mom, how do you feel? Are you still dizzy?"

"Fortunately."

"Lie down, I'll go out and get it later, dinner hasn't arrived yet."

"Mom can just eat one meal a day. I'm not in good health and can't digest too much."

"At that time, I will go out to get wild vegetables and make wild vegetable soup for you."

"Don't go, I know that all the edible things within a few kilometers have been eaten up by other scavengers, I don't want you to go too far away"

"Don't worry too much, our place is a human activity zone, not a zombie territory."

"But zombies will still enter here, that's why people have built city after city, and I don't trust human beings, you are still a child."

"Haha, I'm a doomsday kid, and I'm almost 14 years old. Don't worry about me. Let's keep these mice first. I'll come back to bake at noon."

Lin Xi really had a great idea.

And he is a rough man.

His mother was seriously ill, and he didn't seem worried on the surface, just grinning.

But I really care about it.

Last night, my mother suddenly fainted and vomited blood. He quickly diluted the blood with water, then wiped it clean, and buried the blood-soaked rag in the soil. He was afraid of attracting zombies. He handled it calmly, like a professional veteran. He didn't show too much worry about his mother fainting, and he still looked relaxed when talking to his mother.

Only he himself knew that he had been crying in the middle of the night last night, feeling that he might lose his mother, which made him afraid and tremble from the heart!
