Chapter 398: A drop of kindness should be given with one’s body
As night fell, each team that went out in the mountain village returned with their own prey. Ou Zekun returned home with two huge carp, and placed one in a wooden basin outside the yard.
It was cold and freezing, and the temperature in the mountains was lower than outside. Even the fish that he killed with his wind blade would not be damaged.
He was carrying the other one and was about to call his mother Qi Lianyue to go to Uncle Jin's house for dinner, but his neighbor told him that his mother Qi Lianyue had gone to his house in advance to wait for him.
Ou Zekun came to Jin Wanxiang and Jin Xiaoyu's home with a big carp that was bigger and longer than his arm.
As soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by the fragrant food. Ou Zekun smiled and pushed the door open.
In the villages in the mountains, every household has simple furnishings. There is a dining table at the front door. A square dining table made of old pear wood has a dozen meat and vegetable dishes on it.
"Hey, what a good day today is. Why did Uncle Jin and Xiaoyu cook so many dishes? But they want to take advantage of me!"
Jin Wanxiang's face was extremely rosy, not knowing whether he was drunk or something, and so was Jin Xiaoyu, who had rouge on his face and lipstick on his lips. When he saw Ou Zekun coming in with the fish, he quickly took over and helped him get it.
She took the huge carp and glanced at Ou Zekun shyly. "Brother Ou, sit down first. I will take the fish to the kitchen to clean it up. I will make braised fish fillets for you later."
Jin Wanxiang looked at his daughter carrying the fish and running away like wind, and shook his head with a smile.
"Akun, sit down and come and try your sister Xiaoyu's cooking. She has been busy all afternoon making it especially for you!"
Qi Lianyue smiled on her face, chewing the food in her mouth carefully, feeling like she was in a mirror.
She knows her son's appearance too well. Before the end of the world, he was a walking hormone, attracting women wherever he went.
How could this little girl from a mountain village resist the charm of her son?
However, although Jin Wanxiang and his daughter are just mountain folk, they are not before the end of the world anymore. A high-level metal power user and a mist-type mid-level power user with mutated water system are considered worthy of themselves in the end of the world.
My son.
In addition, life in the mountains, where the sun rises and the sun sets, is not as noisy as in the city, and she is used to this kind of life. It would be great if she could live in such a mountain for the rest of her life.
It’s just that she knows her son too well.
Even though the apocalypse has been around for so long, apart from trying to upgrade and hunt to give her a good life every day, his heart is never here.
She does not exclude Jin Xiaoyu from being her daughter-in-law. This simple, unscheming and hard-working little girl is also very cute.
If her son accepts it, she will not object. After all, things are different now.
"Xiaoyu's skills have improved again. Even I can't cook these dishes!"
The praised Jin Xiaoyu was very happy in the kitchen, trying hard to cook a few more dishes of his own specialty. Thinking of the purpose of inviting Ou Zekun and his mother Qi Lianyue to the house today, Jin Xiaoyu
The fish blushed again.
The fire mark under the stove made her face turn red, but it was not as bright as the fire in her heart.
While eating the food, Ou Zekun drank a few drinks with Jin Wanxiang, and his face became slightly rosy.
After drinking, Jin Wanxiang was ready to speak.
"Sister Lianyue, Akun is not young anymore. Does he have someone he likes?"
Qi Lianyue shook her head with a smile on her face, "Now is the end of the world, and we don't know how many of our former friends will survive, so how can we still have a partner?
Brother Jin, you also know that we come from Canada. It is such a far away place. The people and food in the past are no longer there. We have no relatives and no one to rely on... Alas!"
"Yes, in these days of the end of the world, this place has been like your home. Come and come, don't think about the past, let's do one thing and drink to a good life in the future!"
Qi Lianyue raised his glass, touched it with Jin Wanxiang, and took a sip. Ou Zekun's eyes flashed, but he didn't lift the glass in his hand. Instead, he picked it up and drank the drink of the person under the quilt in one gulp.<
/p>
"Okay! Akun is a tough guy! Come and accompany your Uncle Jin for another walk!"
Ou Zekun picked up the old wine jar under the table and filled it for himself and Jin Wanxiang. The two started drinking again.
Jin Xiaoyu, who was cooking fish fillets in the kitchen, heard that serious business was being discussed at the dinner table, and his ears were already perked up.
"Akun, tell the truth to uncle, have you ever thought about starting a family here? Can that be settled?"
Although Jin Xiaoyu begged Jin Wanxiang to do this today, Jin Wanxiang also liked Ou Zekun very much. Needless to say, Ou Zekun's appearance was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. He was handsome. Even if he could only wear the rough coat of their mountain man in the apocalypse, it would be difficult for him to do so.
Covering up his noble temperament.
Furthermore, he is very powerful. He is the person with the highest level of supernatural powers in the whole village besides him. He is also very young. He came all the way here with his mother and his friend, which shows that he is a responsible man.
.
If his daughter could be given to him, he would be at ease.
But he also knows that a man like Ou Zekun was a rich man before the end of the world, with a very rich status and background. It is very likely that he will look down on people like him.
So when he asked, he still asked in a very subtle way.
"Uncle Jin, stop joking. In this world, even survival is difficult, how can you still think about these things? Besides, my mother and I are both from outside the country, so we are very lucky to be appreciated and accepted by everyone."
Jin Wanxiang smiled and nodded. It seemed that Ou Zekun had no plans to find his partner in their village.
But Jin Xiaoyu, who was in the kitchen, didn't hear the meaning of Ou Zekun's words. He was just worried about why his father didn't ask, so he rushed to the dining table with the knife used to kill the fish in his hand, and his hands were covered in blood. p>
"Brother Ou, you are the savior of our village. We should be grateful to you! If it weren't for you, my father would have died at that time!"
Ou Zekun was stunned and looked at Xiaoyu, "In this world, everyone should help each other!"
Jin Xiaoyu glanced at Jin Wanxiang anxiously, and suddenly strode up to Ou Zekun, "Brother Ou, my dead mother once said that if you receive kindness from others, you should repay it with a spring! You saved my father's life.
As a daughter, I, I, I should commit myself to you!"
After Jin Xiaoyu finished speaking, the fish-killing knife in her hand changed shape when she used it because she was too nervous.
The smile on Qi Lianyue's face never stopped. Compared with the scheming young ladies in the city before, she preferred this Jin Xiaoyu who had no scheming but was outspoken.
Ou Zekun didn't expect that Jin Xiaoyu would say it so straightforwardly.
When Jin Wanxiang said this to him just now, he actually felt his intention.
It’s not that Jin Xiaoyu is bad.
Jin Xiaoyu is very cute, with an oval face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. Her skin is a healthy wheat color, she is tall and graceful, she is simple and cute.
He likes her very much, like her like a sister.
Seeing Ou Zekun looking at her with such a smile, Jin Xiaoyu's heart beat like a fawn jumping in the mountains, dashing left and right against the ground, as if it was about to pop out of her mouth.
Ou Zekun looked at Jin Xiaoyu's lovely red smiling face, reached out and patted her neatly combed head.
"Xiaoyu, I have always treated you like my own sister. I like you, protect you, and love you all because you are my sister. Do you understand?"
Jin Xiaoyu was patted on the head by Ou Zekun. First, her face suddenly turned red and turned purple, and she was about to be breathless. Then, when she heard what Ou Zekun said next, her face gradually cooled down.
Finally, he frowned and looked at Ou Zekun, "Brother Ou, I don't want to be your sister! My dad said that if a man like you can marry you, you will definitely treat me well! I want to marry you,
Do you agree or not!?"
"Xiaoyu!" Jin Wanxiang looked at Ou Zekun with some embarrassment, "How can a girl be so shameless and shameless! Go back to the kitchen to cook!"
Jin Xiaoyu didn't feel embarrassed after being scolded by his father. Instead, he looked at his father and said, "Dad! Brother Ou doesn't have a girlfriend now! I'll hang out with him first so that I can occupy a position first. There will always be someone who comes first, first served."
Why! Why are you so mean to me!"
Jin Wanxiang's old face turned red, "Go, go back to the kitchen! You're not shy, you girl!" He glanced at Ou Zekun, "Xiaokun, don't mind, Xiaoyu, I don't know what happened to this girl today, ha.
Haha, come on, come on, drink!"
Ou Zekun smiled and drank the wine in his hand again. The familiar figure in his mind suddenly became clearer and clearer. She must have gone to find her parents at that time. Is she still alive now?
If he had gone with her at that time, would it have been...
But nothing happened. He thought about how difficult it would be with his current strength to go back to Jiashi City to find her through the mountains of corpses, but he could not forget her.
She has that magical flying mantis as a pet, and she will definitely live a better life in the end of the world than he does now. If he sees her again, if there is no one else around her...
"Xiaokun, Xiaoyu is such an honest kid. Oh, I've caused trouble for you and your mother!"
Qi Lianyue picked up the wine glass and offered a toast, "Brother Jin said, I like this child Xiaoyu very much. If she can be my daughter-in-law, I will also be very happy."
"Mom..." Ou Zekun frowned slightly and drank a glass of wine.
"However, I respect my son's wishes. I have always wanted to have a daughter. If Xiaoyu can't be my daughter-in-law, I will be happy to be my daughter! Brother Jin, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, sister Lianyue, you are right! I was a little drunk! Hahaha, I will punish myself with a drink!"
After Ou Zekun took a few bites of the food and chatted with Jin Wanxiang and his mother for a while, Jin Xiaoyu's braised fish nuggets were prepared and served.
She wanted to make another specialty dish, but was stopped by Ou Zekun.
"Xiao Yu, stop cooking. Sit down and eat together. There are enough dishes. If you can't finish them, it should be wasted!"
Jin Xiaoyu nodded, and the blushing look on his face really made Ou Zekun feel that this girl was still a careless little girl.
Four people, more than ten dishes, and a jar of wine. Jin Xiaoyu didn't know how to drink, but in the end, both the wine and the dishes were eaten.
Ou Zekun, who was supposed to go home and rest, said to Jin Xiaoyu under the eyes of Jin Wanxiang and his mother Qi Lianyue.
"Xiaoyu, are you free now? Can you accompany me to the village?"
The scenery of the Kunshan base is even better now than before the apocalypse. The forest land that was over-harvested before the apocalypse has completely grown back after you at a speed of more than a thousand times, and it is even worse.
And because there is a river on the back of the mountain, the source of the river water is at the top of the mountain, which is authentic mountain spring water.
Although the altitude of the top of the mountain is not as high as those famous mountains, it is still difficult to climb up. Therefore, the water source of their mountain is not polluted at all.
However, the fact that it is not polluted does not mean that the creatures in the river will not mutate. It just evolves in a good direction and becomes aggressive river shrimps, crabs and other aquatic products.
Although these creatures in the water have become huge and aggressive, their nutritional value has become higher.
The mountain people in the mountains have relied on the mountains and water for a long time. Especially after the end of the world, feeding on these creatures has made their bodies better.
When Ou Zekun came to Jin Xiaoyu, he walked out of Jin Xiaoyu's house, walked around the village along the way, and then walked toward the mountainside.
"Brother Ou, why did you bring me here?"
As the two of them walked along, some single female villagers in the village looked at Jin Xiaoyu next to Ou Zekun, and their faces were filled with jealousy and envy.
This greatly satisfied the simple vanity of Jin Xiaoyu, a young girl.
The two came to a huge tree on the mountainside. Ou Zekun jumped onto the crown of the tree first, and Jin Xiaoyu also jumped up easily.
For children in the mountains, even if they don’t have super powers, climbing up trees is a common thing. Not to mention that now that the level of super powers is higher, it’s just a matter of climbing up a tree, which is even easier.
Although this tree grows halfway up the mountain, it is the tallest and oldest ancient tree on the entire mountain.
"Brother Ou, what's so good about this tree? The wind is so strong, and the mosquitoes are so big in the apocalypse."
Ou Zekun stood on the tallest tree branch, looking at the scenery to the south.
He pointed to the south. In the pitch-black night, there were occasional bright lights farther away. But the bright yellow was very short-lived, flickering in and out.
He believed that in this land, there must be more people working hard to live in the last days, and she must be too.
"Look at the south side, are there a lot of bright lights? There are a lot of them closer and further away."
Jin Xiaoyu climbed up to the branch where Ou Zekun was standing and looked along the position he pointed.
She suppressed her face and said, "Yes, there are, but there are more dark places. I don't know if there are people in these places with lights, and whether they will be swallowed by the darkness again."
Ou Zekun shook his head, "No, I believe that the light will only become more and more abundant, and the darkness will become less and less.
And she will live well in that bright light."
Jin Xiaoyu had never seen such a bright light in Ou Zekun's eyes, as if there was a bright light in front of his eyes, lighting up the way forward for him.
"She? Brother Ou, do you have a girl you like?"
Ou Zekun smiled without admitting or denying. "She is the most special person I know."
The bright spots in the areas far below were bright and dark, and suddenly a bright spot became bigger and bigger.
The light was as red as fire, like the light in his heart getting brighter and brighter.
Finally, the bright spot got closer and closer, and when the two fiery points were less than a kilometer away from them, the two of them could see clearly.
That's not a city light, it's a golden firebird soaring in the sky.
