Lin and Zhang walked in tandem, holding flashlights. They didn't know how deep the air-raid shelter was. After walking about twenty or thirty meters, they came across a corner, and a piece of wall on the right side appeared.
The sign nailed up on the wooden board also said "Please do not enter important facilities" written in red paint, but the paint was mottled and it looked like it was old. (.]
"Huh? Brother Lin, we won't find some underground nuclear facility, right? Or some secret base?" Zhang Xu took two steps forward, stretched his neck and peered inside. His voice made a long sound in the tunnel.
The echo sounded very strange, and there were some vague slogans from the Great Leap and Forward period on the walls, which easily reminded people of some secret products from the war period.
Lin Tao smiled faintly and ignored Zhang Xu's cold joke. The two of them walked forward for about ten meters. A large rusty iron door immediately appeared in front of them, with a wooden sign on it still saying "
Collective property, theft and jail time”!
Zhang Xu excitedly took a flashlight and took a photo inside the iron door, but when he saw what was inside clearly, he immediately started to scorn loudly and said: "Damn, what did I think it was? It turned out to be a mushroom. What's going on?"
It’s so mysterious, who would steal these lousy things!”
It's just mushrooms, because behind the rusty iron door is nothing but neatly arranged bags of small sacks, and the sacks are filled with soil, and the roots in the soil have long since died.
Dried mushrooms were densely piled on top of the mushrooms. Probably the air-raid shelter here had been used long ago and became a mushroom production base.
"Lao Gao just said that he was worried about not having enough food. These dried mushrooms can feed us for several months!" Lin Tao smiled with satisfaction. He glanced at Zhang Xu next to him and found that his face was full of frustration.
"The thing I'm most afraid of eating is mushrooms. They have a weird smell. If I eat these things every day, I'd rather starve to death!" Zhang Xu immediately frowned. He just stretched out his hand to open the big iron door, but found that General Iron was holding the door.
There is a strong black padlock hanging on it.
"Why is it locked again? Am I having bad luck lately? Why is every door Mao encounters locked?" Zhang Xu angrily kicked the iron door hard, which made a "buzzing" sound.
There was a loud noise, and instead of being kicked away, Zhang Xu was left in ashes.
"Don't be so impatient!" Lin Tao patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder and motioned for him to get out of the way. Then he slowly shined the flashlight behind Zhang Xu. Two dead bones lying in the corner appeared in front of the two of them. The skeletons
They are all still in good condition, but covered with a lot of dust, and they don't look like they were bitten to death by a living corpse.
Lin Tao bent down and groped for a few times on the two withered bones, and soon found a small bunch of keys in the trouser pocket of the withered bones. He threw them to Zhang Xu and said, "Try it!"
"Click~"
The iron door didn't open until Zhang Xu tried the last key, which caused Zhang Xu to curse angrily, yelling that he was too unlucky, and rushed straight into the pile of mushrooms, fiercely
I had to step on those mushrooms several times to relieve my anger.
When everyone entered the mushroom base one after another, they were not very excited. They were all extremely tired and sat against the wall to rest. After a while, several people snored lowly. They were obviously too tired to fall asleep.
It’s on.
Zhang Xu, who had almost finished half of the mushrooms, finally did something good. He found an antique-like kerosene lamp on the innermost wooden table, which is also commonly known as the angry wind lamp. He gently burned the wick with a lighter.
, the smoky yellow light immediately lit up, finally giving the almost pitch-black air raid shelter a dim light.
"Honey, are you very tired? Hurry up and eat something!" Bai Ru, who was leaning side by side with Lin Tao, looked at the tired look on Lin Tao's face distressedly. She didn't know that it was because of the corpse poison on Lin Tao's arm.
Lin Tao thought it was because of the pain caused to him that he was very tired, so he quickly took out a square leg from his pocket and carefully handed him a bottle of mineral water.
"I'm not hungry, just leave it to you to eat. I'll just drink some water!" Lin Tao shook his head and smiled, then took the mineral water in Bai Ru's hand, opened it and took a sip.
"Sister Ru, do you have any food?" Zhang Xu came over and squatted next to Bai Ru, and said softly: "I didn't bring food, I just brought water. I want to give my sister-in-law some!"
"Then give this to Lu Jia. She is pregnant and needs to eat more high-calorie foods!" Bai Ru generously handed him the square leg in her hand and asked teasingly: "Did you do something?
Is there something that makes your sister-in-law unhappy? I think she doesn’t want to talk to you!"
"Where is that?" Zhang Xu smiled stiffly, but did not dare to explain too much. He took the square leg and hurried to Lu Jia, who was leaning in the corner.
"Sister-in-law, come and have something to eat!" Zhang Xu walked slowly to Lu Jia's side. Lu Jia was talking to Wang Fang in a deserted corner with her head lowered. When Wang Fang saw Zhang Xu coming,
Immediately and wisely walked away, Lu Jia glanced at Zhang Xu with a complicated expression, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still lowered her head and said softly: "You should also sit down and take a rest!"
"Hey!" Seeing that Lu Jia cared about him, Zhang Xu nodded happily and went to Lu Jia's side. He diligently peeled off half of the square leg in his hand and handed it to Lu Jia. He said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, eat it quickly.
After eating, the baby will grow fat after eating!"
Lu Jia took the square leg in her hand and took a gentle bite. After chewing carefully for a while, she looked at Zhang Xu who was smiling beside her, and then focused her eyes on the square leg in her hand.
He asked in a very calm tone: "Axu... do you think my sister-in-law is a slut?"
"What? Sister-in-law, you..." Zhang Xu's face suddenly changed, and he said in a panic: "Sister-in-law, why are you talking about yourself like this? How are you a slut? You... you are the most perfect goddess in my mind.
No woman can compare to you!"
"Goddess?" Lu Jia laughed mockingly. After shaking her head, she sighed faintly, held the square leg in her hands, and buried her head deeply into her knees, using a muffled sigh.
The voice said: "But why do I think I am a slut? You didn't use force at first last night, and I actually obeyed after only struggling a few times. If I hadn't been kicked by the baby in the tent,
We have long... long ago... What is this if not a slut? Even the baby looks down on me in the belly!"
"Please sister-in-law, please don't say that, okay? All the mistakes are my fault, I am a bastard, I am a beast! But no matter what, you have to blame yourself, you will scare me if you do this
"Yes!" Zhang Xu looked at Lu Jia's slender back anxiously. He wanted to reach out and hug Lu Jia to comfort her, but he was afraid that Lu Jia would misunderstand her. He kept pulling his hair irritably, and his hair was pulled out in a few strokes.
It has to be like a chicken coop.
"But if I didn't give you a reaction at the beginning, you wouldn't have forced me to do it, right?" Lu Jia suddenly straightened up, and when she raised her head again, her pale and pretty face was already covered with tears, and she looked directly into her eyes.
Zhang Xu said sadly: "I always thought that I was a very loyal woman. I thought that even if Gao Hai died, I could be loyal to him for the rest of my life. But I found that I was wrong. I was really wrong. It's so easy.
I obeyed under your instigation, and I am still a good brother with Gao Hai. A shameless woman like me should not live in this world!"
"No, sister-in-law, you are not wrong. Everything is my fault. I am really wrong. You can hit me and scold me, but please don't blame yourself like this, okay?" Zhang Xu almost begged.
Looking at Lu Jia, tears flashed in her eyes.
"Why...why...why are you doing this to me!" Lu Jia suddenly slapped Zhang Xu like crazy, and she really used her strength. Even Zhang Xu's very strong body was beaten by her "dong dong"
" made a sound, and finally Lu Jia was hysterical and slapped Zhang Xu on the face. After the slap, she was stunned, looked at her hand blankly, and then cried loudly "Wow"
He came out, hugged his knees and cried, "Why don't you mess with so many women? Why did you mess with me? You know I'm an unruly slut, right?"
"Sister-in-law..." Zhang Xu looked at Lu Jia's twitching body. He did not touch his face, which was so hot from being slapped. Instead, he gently hugged Lu Jia's back and patted her back gently.
He said slowly: "Sister-in-law, don't cry. It's not good for the baby! In fact, if you think about it calmly, you will find that we didn't do anything wrong that day. I drank a lot, and so did you.
If alcohol is wrong, it’s just that it makes our nature explode. You are a human being, not a piece of wood. You will have needs as long as you are a human being. No one is an exception. And you didn’t realize afterwards that you were only kissed by me.
Are you just confused? Didn't you reject me immediately after you reacted? So some of the body's instincts don't mean anything, because they are just the nature given to us by God, as long as we can learn to restrain it! And sister-in-law
...We didn’t seem to have done anything shameful in the end, right? I think you have wronged me, and you have also wronged yourself!”
"Alas~" After Lu Jia was silent for a while, her mood seemed to have calmed down a lot. She sighed softly. She slowly straightened her head, looked directly at the wall opposite, and said blankly: "You are actually right.
I understand, I even thought about it, but Gao Hai's death really touched me a lot. If it weren't for my children, I really wouldn't have the slightest courage to live. But before Gao Hai's first seven days, I
But I almost made a big mistake with you, so... this has become a knot in my heart!"
"Don't be afraid if you have a knot in your heart. The key is to be able to open it!" Zhang Xu patted Lu Jia on the back, took his hand away from her, picked up the square leg that Lu Jia had dropped on the ground, and leaned over to take half the bottle.
Mineral water, after unscrewing the cap, carefully rinsed away the dust on it, and finally shook off the water droplets on it, and asked Lu Jia with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you still eating?"
Lu Jia turned her head and did not look at Square Legs, but looked at Zhang Xu's red cheeks apologetically. She slowly reached out her hand and gently touched it, and said with distress: "Does it hurt from the beating? I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
You shouldn’t be crazy!”
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. Sister-in-law, even if you slap me a few more times, I'll be fine!" Zhang Xu smiled nonchalantly, smiling very happily.
"Axu, you...can you accompany me to the front?" Lu Jia suddenly pointed to the dark tunnel outside, then looked at Zhang Xu's confused eyes, she blushed and whispered: "
I...I want to go to the toilet, but I'm afraid of the dark!"
"Oh oh oh, okay, okay!" Zhang Xu immediately nodded his head like a woodpecker, took out his flashlight and pulled up Lu Jia who was sitting on the ground.
"You can put out the flashlight, but..."
Walking side by side with Zhang Xu for about ten or twenty meters in the tunnel, Lu Jia stopped beside a recessed wall, then pointed to the way they came, and said embarrassedly: "Can you stand there and smoke?
?Let me see your cigarette butt and I won’t be afraid!”
"That's right, I want to smoke one too!" Zhang Xu smiled and nodded. In order not to scare Lu Jia, he gave her his flashlight again and said while walking back: "I'll stand right behind this
For you, you don’t have to be afraid of anything as long as I’m here!”
"Yeah!" Lu Jia blushed and nodded, took a few steps back, picked up her skirt, and slowly squatted down.
Zhang Xu turned his back to Lu Jia, leaning against the wall and smoking carelessly, but his thoughts were turning over and over again. The Chinese cigarette that was originally quite flavorful seemed to have become dull and tasteless, and there was still some smoke in his mouth.
Bitter.
He didn't know why. Logically speaking, Lu Jia was just the widow of a good brother of his. Even if she was entrusted to him before his death, he didn't need to care for her as a close relative. Even if she was his own sister-in-law, he would let her
She fulfilled her brother-in-law's responsibilities by having enough food and clothing, but her attitude toward Lu Jia seemed to have changed a bit. This was not the way she should treat her brother and his wife!
Did he fall in love with Lu Jia? Zhang Xu's scalp started to tingle when he thought about it, and he immediately slapped himself in the mouth. He secretly cursed himself as a big beast, and quickly put an end to the idea that had just arisen.
"Axu, what's wrong with you?" Lu Jia's confused voice came from behind.
"Oh, this...there seems to be mosquitoes in this cave!" Zhang Xu hurriedly made nonsense.
"Oh! Then A Xu...can you turn around a little? I can't see your cigarette butt, I'm a little scared!" Lu Jiawei's timid voice spoke again.
"Okay!" Zhang Xu turned sideways without hesitation, puffing on his cigarette. Soon, a gurgling sound like a stream came from Lu Jia, who had been silent. Zhang Xu felt nervous, a kind of
A strange feeling creeped into his heart, and his unsatisfied heart immediately began to beat rapidly.
Lu Jia must have been holding it in for a while. The sound of the gurgling stream lasted for more than half a minute before it ended. Zhang Xu's heart was beating wildly for more than half a minute, which made him a little nervous.
After the confused sound of the stream disappeared, there was another rustling sound. Lu Jia, who turned on the flashlight, finally walked over from Zhang Xu's side. She probably also knew that the indecent sound was for Zhang Xu to hear.
After walking away, she lowered her blushing face and hummed to Zhang Xu: "Let's go!"
"Sister-in-law, please put this on, I think you are very cold!" Zhang Xu took the flashlight and found a layer of fine goosebumps on Lu Jia's arms. He didn't know that it was due to nervousness and shyness.
, thinking that Lu Jia was cold, he quickly took off the long-sleeved shirt and put it on her body. He himself was wearing a black vest indifferently.
"Thank you!" Lu Jia hummed shyly again, but did not explain that she was not cold. However, feeling Zhang Xu's remaining body temperature on his shirt, a strange numbness quietly crept into Lu Jia's heart.
