Liang Yingsheng shrugged and started kicking the ball, "I can't make the decision."
I really didn’t encounter any zombies on the way to the old house. The road was in disrepair and became muddy as we drove up the mountain, making the car very bumpy when driving on it.
Liang Yingsheng felt a pain in her buttocks, and Grandma Chen, who was sleeping in the passenger seat, was also awakened. She looked not in a good condition, her lips were pale and her face was sallow.
Perhaps she didn't want her family to worry, so Grandma Chen endured it. After the car entered the long-abandoned small mountainside town, the road finally became much smoother.
There is Aizhen, the name of this township.
The once bustling town is now completely deserted. Most of the houses have been torn down, leaving ruins. The remaining residential buildings and bungalows are overgrown with weeds and the walls are dusty. They look like a ghost movie shooting location.
Same.
There were still many farmers living here in the first two years, but later, those farmers also moved away.
The entire Youai Town is divided into three winding roads, and all buildings are built around these three roads. The Liang family's old house is in the middle, and the terrain is quite high. Grandma Chen's house is only a few dozen meters away from them.
Liang Zhimo had already arrived, and Liang Yingsheng could see him and his parents standing at the door of the courtyard, looking up with excitement, his eyes a little red with excitement.
Not intending to let Grandma Chen and her family follow, Liang Yingsheng parked the car near Grandma Chen's old house.
"The end of the world is difficult. Although no one has lived in this house for a long time, it is the Garden of Eden for the end of the world. I wish you and your family peace."
Grandma Chen held Liang Yingsheng's hand and said with a tearful voice: "Thank you, Shengsheng, thank you very much."
"Grandma Chen is injured. I remember there is a well behind your house. Heat some hot water and take a bath. If you feel any discomfort, you can go to my brother."
Yuan Xuyang came over with his parents to express his gratitude and began to carry the only two suitcases.
Liang Yingsheng planned to leave the car and handed Yuan Rong the car keys. When she turned around and was about to leave, Grandma Chen stopped her and said, "Shengsheng, wait a moment."
I saw her opening one of the boxes and carefully taking out a box of chocolates from it, "I, I secretly hid some food, you take it!"
Liang Yingsheng was slightly shocked and quickly refused: "No, you can just eat it by yourself."
"That's no good. You saved our family and there's nothing to repay. This chocolate is delicious. You young people will definitely like it."
"No, I just had my wisdom teeth removed some time ago and I don't dare to eat sweets. Liang Zhimo doesn't have the habit of eating sweets. You have helped our family before, so this time you can offset that feeling, right?"
Grandma Chen did not insist anymore, "Okay then, your whole family is a good person, and you will definitely live a long life."
Liang Yingsheng smiled and did not answer.
A good person?
Anyway, she is not. At most, she knows how to repay kindness?
Saying goodbye to Grandma Chen and her family, Liang Yingsheng walked quickly towards her old house.
The house looks a little dilapidated, but it has been cleaned very clean. The courtyard wall has been raised a lot with stones and mud, and is covered with dense glass fragments.
As soon as people arrived at the door of their home, the first thing that jumped at them was a golden retriever. The golden retriever was so big and powerful that Liang Yingsheng was caught off guard and was almost knocked down.
Liang's mother, Zhou Lanxin, brought out a cup of hot milk, her eyes were red, and her face was filled with a smile of relief, "I'm really worried about your father and I. Just hope that you two are fine. Now our family is finally reunited."
He touched the dog's head and let it hug his calf.
Liang Yingsheng took the milk and drank it in one breath, "Yes, our families will never be separated from now on. Where are you and dad? It's safe here, right?"
"Don't worry, at the beginning, your dad was really curious and had to take me down the mountain to have a look. He happened to see those monsters eating people, which scared me to death. Fortunately, your dad's battery car was strong and ran fast, otherwise we would both be dead."
Hearing this, Liang Yingsheng broke into a cold sweat and said, "Can you just go and see it? You and dad don't have driver's licenses. Battery cars are not safe. Don't run around in the future."
"Don't worry, don't worry, come in quickly. Your dad is making pickled fish. Fortunately, you reminded him early. We bought two large refrigerators."
Pancheng has plenty of sunshine, so Liang Yingsheng helped her parents place an order for a set of solar power generation equipment. Her father likes to tinker with these things, and the generator has already been used.
The power is not particularly high, so there is no big problem with two refrigerators.
While their parents were cooking in the kitchen, Liang Yingsheng and Liang Zhimo walked around the area, with Gouzi Yuanbao following closely behind them.
The old house is a brick house with three bedrooms and one living room. The outside was painted with white paint, but now it has peeled off a lot.
The front yard is more than ten square meters, and there are many cracks in the cement floor. Weeds are coming out of the cracks, and they are green.
There is a peach tree at the gate, and the tree is covered with radishes cut into strips, ready to be dried into dried radishes.
The backyard is more than 30 square meters, has a well, and the rest of the area is planted with vegetables.
Her father even built a simple chicken coop and raised seven or eight chickens in it.
After all, Grandma Chen's family had also moved in. For fear of being discovered, Liang Yingsheng decisively put the chickens in the chicken coop into the space.
Liang Yingsheng had already told her parents in the two days when the apocalypse happened in space. She just took the two of them in for a walk. The whole family felt that she was blessed by God and that the Liang family's life should not be cut off.
Dinner was very sumptuous, including pickled fish, stir-fried twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried lettuce tips, and mapo tofu.
Before the end of the world, these were just ordinary home-cooked dishes, but by the time of the end of the world, any dish would be something that no one else dared to ask for.
Liang Yingsheng took away all the coveted materials in the old house, and even removed the solar panels.
The refrigerator was put away altogether, leaving behind a wooden shelf with peeling paint on which some potatoes and pumpkins were lined up.
The old house that Zhou Lanxin carefully decorated has been turned into a mess after such a toss, and it seems particularly inconsistent with the table of delicious food.
After giving the fish head to Liang Yingsheng and the fish tail to Liang Zhimo, Zhou Lanxin asked: "Zhimo told us what happened at Grandma Chen's house. It's hot now and we don't need quilts. We have two old blankets to send to them."
Well, it would be more comfortable to sleep on it."
"No rush, let's not take the initiative to help others."
Afraid that her parents would not understand, Liang Yingsheng explained: "The world has changed, and you have to fight for what you want with both hands. We take the initiative to deliver it to your door. What if someone develops the habit of reaching for clothes? Even if the two families have a good relationship, we still have to be careful.
To put it in perspective, once people cannot bear the pressure during the apocalypse of natural disasters, their hearts will change accordingly.”
Liang Qiuwen nodded in support: "Shengsheng is right. If someone from Aunt Chen's family takes the initiative to ask us for help, we can send them out by the way. I can still rest assured about Aunt Chen's character, but I can't protect others."
Yuan Xuyang's family of three lives in another community, and they don't interact closely with her family. They only meet her occasionally when they come to visit Grandma Chen, and they would say hello to each other and chat for a few words.
