Chapter 81: Throwing books and leading the way astray
Along the way, the boss had a solemn expression. Black Tiger seemed to feel his master's emotions and ran forward without stopping. The biting cold wind blew past the side of his face, and the flowing tears solidified and turned into twinkling ice crystals in the wind.
Pass away.
I rode quietly next to me, unable to say anything to comfort me. Such an ending was destined to make people's hearts twist like a knife. The moment the boss swung the knife, he suffered such severe pain in his heart. This kind of pain can't be expressed in any words.
Neither can be comforted.
After walking westward along this road for a long time, there was still no trace of the jeep. Judging from their past actions, they should not have run too far on their own unless the corpses were chasing after them. They would not encounter them yet.
It was dangerous because the jeep was missing, which meant they hadn't stopped yet.
After walking a few kilometers further, we still saw no trace of the jeep except for the walking corpses everywhere. Soon, we were confused by the fork in the road that appeared in front of us, not knowing which way they were taking.
While he was hesitating, the boss suddenly picked up a book on the ground from an intersection. It was a science fiction novel. The familiar cover and the clear words "Guo Pengfei" inside proved that it was the book dropped by the fourth boss.
Books are the love of the fourth child. When he escaped from the dormitory, he threw away his iPad, PSP and other things, but the only thing he couldn't let go of was this book. Now that he threw the book here, there must be some purpose...
…
Yes! This is the way!
My boss and I suddenly realized it, and quickly put the book carefully into our cotton-padded jackets, and continued westward along the road where the book was.
The sky was getting dark, and the boss and I drove twenty or thirty miles, but still failed to join the team. The two horses were exhausted and no longer had the strength to continue walking.
"Lao Si's book was clearly thrown on this road, how could it be wrong?..."
I led the horses to one side of the lawn, used a long knife to brush away the layer of snow, and the two horses started eating.
"It's definitely not this way, because they can't go that far."
The boss finally spoke. This was the only sentence he said after reluctantly killing Xiaomo today. He was in a heavy heart and listened to me silently. Occasionally, he said "hmm", which was considered a decision for me.
Recognition.
"Then how should I explain Lao Si's book..."
I checked the novel repeatedly with a frown, trying to find some clues.
"It's very windy today...could it be..."
The boss’s words immediately woke me up.
"Yes! Could it be that the wind blew the book away? The book was originally thrown on another road!!!"
This sudden realization made us extremely anxious. We didn’t know where the Fourth Brother and the others were now, and whether they would be waiting for us there all the time. It was already dark, and if they stayed in the car overnight, they might be in danger.
! You must know that without two horses, once the car is surrounded, it will be difficult to escape.
We wanted to ride back on horseback, but the black tiger and white dragon could no longer run.
I sat on the side of the road and kept sighing and complaining about my carelessness. But after all, this was an unavoidable mistake. Anyone who reads that book will go down this road. It is God who has opened it for us.
Just a joke, trying to tease us again when we are losing our friends!
The boss seemed much calmer than me. After a series of blows, he seemed to wake up.
"Let's find a place to stay first! We'll go back to find them tomorrow. Bald Man and Zhang Chen are there, so they should be fine."
I can only think of the best.
My boss and I found a private house nearby and covered the door with cabinets. The windows couldn't be sealed because we couldn't find nails, so we could only randomly prop up some wooden boards. It was good to leave this gap open for easy escape. Anyway, it was just me and
There were two bosses and two horses parked outside, so it was relatively easy to escape.
They got some food randomly in the house and chewed it to satisfy their hunger. Then the two of them lay on the bed, ready to rest.
The most difficult thing in this situation is at night, because people can't find tools to kill boredom. Without electricity and light, when the night is about to swallow up, they can only choose to huddle up in a safe residence and toss and turn.
.The food is very bland, and it was difficult to adapt to it at the beginning, but now I don’t even notice it. As long as you can swallow it and eat it, it is the best. Because life, for everyone,
That's the most important thing.
A few days ago, Xiaomo was complaining about toothache, because in the past six months, we have been in crisis, and brushing teeth can only be an extremely minor thing for this group of people who are rushing to survive. The girl is better,
At least they know how to maintain their own image, so they still have to insist on things like washing, bathing, and getting haircuts, but the frequency is much lower than before. Xiaomo loves sweets, but she always has an impressive figure.
This can't help but be envied by other girls. However, this habit has affected her teeth. Now she brushes her teeth less frequently, which has given her cavities.
...I remembered Xiaomo again when I was bored, and when I thought of her misfortune, I felt sad.
The boss should be in the most pain at this time, and there was a light flickering in the corner of his eye. No one can fall asleep at this time, except thinking. The boss was entangled in painful emotions, and he even forgot to close his eyes.
"Boss...I don't know how to comfort you...Anyway, don't feel too sad...after all...after all, the dead can't come back no matter what."
I looked at the roof silently, then turned my head and said to the boss sympathetically.
"But, I killed her with my own hands."
The boss remained motionless, the corner of his eye twitched, and a crystal teardrop slowly slid down. He could never forgive himself for what he had done, even though Xiaomo was no longer his woman - he was so affectionate and righteous, upright and kind.
He will always be tortured by all kinds of pain. He cannot face the departure of his family and brothers, let alone the departure of his lover without saying goodbye. This time, he killed his beloved with his own hands, and the sinful self-blame has already overwhelmed him.
The joy was swallowed up completely.
"If you couldn't have done it at that time, we would have turned into zombies long ago. It is indeed painful to kill the people you love most, but can you feel the pain of Chen Hongyan and Uncle Fangzhu when they killed their parents and wives with their own hands?
"
The boss was silent. He closed his eyes tightly, as if he was no longer willing to think more...
