Although these boys have all lived in the village since they were young, and they can run around all day without feeling tired when they usually laugh and play, but now every one of them feels so tired.
Their legs seemed to be tied with lead weights, and their bodies seemed to be carrying a huge mountain on their backs, weighing them down so much that they couldn't breathe, couldn't lift their arms, and even moved their eyelids.
Slowly, their legs became completely uncontrollable, and their consciousness began to become a little numb. They only knew to run forward, following the strong figure in front of them. They had forgotten why they were running, and how fearful they were behind them.
scary.
At this time, death is actually not something worth fearing for them. Everything they just saw has left too many traces in their young minds. They are at a loss. They need someone to guide them, but
Who will care about them?
Zhu Zhu didn't know that his appearance and his late arrival, although it might have led to the death of those people, had become the guiding light in the hearts of these children. This naive man, who had been honest for so many years, could not even read a single word.
The man became the savior of these children.
In his heart, he simply believed that these children should hate him, hate him very much, because it was because of him that all of this happened.
Of course, even if he knew what he meant to these children at this time, the most he could do was smile innocently, then lower his head, and regard this as part of his atonement.
Yes, he was guilty, he ran away, he came late, he didn't die with those people.
Others may scold him or understand him, but in his heart, he is guilty and sinful.
Sometimes, being alive is not a lucky thing. When your comrades say goodbye, everyone around you falls down one by one, and you are the only one left in this world, you will really find that the most painful thing is not death.
, but alive.
The dead are sometimes lucky because they died happily.
But the living people cannot simply do it, because they have to bear all the burdens that the dead people should bear on their own shoulders.
Then live, not for yourself, but for those who have died, bearing the weight of life, and bearing the entrustments of several people. No one can imagine what kind of life it will be like.
Every time I take a breath, the air feels so thick, every mouthful of food is so hard to swallow, and every day passes so long.
When in life, smiling becomes the most luxurious thing, and straightening the spine becomes the most difficult thing, living is actually not much better than death.
But people still need to live, because his life
From that moment on, it is no longer his own. He cannot be ignorant, insensitive, indulgent, or...
The old friend has passed away, but the responsibility has never disappeared.
Zhuzi is a simple banker who doesn't know how to express it in words, nor how to express his feelings, nor how to tell the pain in his heart.
To whom?
To these kids?
Impossible, only he can bear his suffering, no one can help him, and he can't figure out why such a thing happened to him, causing his originally beautiful life to completely collapse into pieces of debris.
Two days ago, the matchmaker in the village just arranged a marriage for him. The woman was a girl from the village not far away. His family also had several acres of land. He had been living alone before, and he had saved some savings at home.
If the harvest is good this year, you can build a big house again and marry the girl.
From now on, he will have someone who can cook for him, mend clothes, and care about him when he is tired. His wife and children's wish will also come true.
But before the dream came true, it was already shattered into pieces. These seemingly beautiful lives have now completely disappeared from Zhu Zhu's life trajectory. From now on, he will be wandering around with his six underage children.
Where to go and how to live?
Zhuzi's heart was also at a loss, just like the fields shrouded in night, so dark without any light.
The moon slipped behind the clouds at some point, and all that could be seen in the fields were dots of light, too weak to even illuminate the road.
The pillar was carrying two children, and his footsteps became heavier and heavier, but he gritted his teeth and ran forward hard. He only had one thought at this time, that is, to run as fast as possible with these children, leave the village, and run as far away as possible
The better.
Those people in the village are no longer within the scope of Zhuzhu's consideration.
He will only have these children in the future, and they will only have him. Although each of these children is not his flesh and blood, they are all his relatives.
"Zhu, Uncle Zhuzhu, run, I can't run anymore..."
A child's feeble shout came from a few meters behind him. Although the voice was not loud, it had already consumed the child's last bit of strength. The pillar suddenly stopped and stumbled, almost falling to the ground, carrying two
How can he be relaxed as a child?
"No, I have to run!"
Zhuzhu gasped and said in a muffled voice, a tone that left no room for doubt.
"No, leave me alone. If that monster catches up, I can help you hold it off..."
That little one
The boy fell to the ground, a small gap appeared in the clouds, and a ray of moonlight shone down, but it just hit the boy's tired face, but his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Get the hell out of here, if you want to stay, it's me who will stay. It's not your turn, you little bastards."
Zhu Zhu put the two children on his shoulders on the ground. At this time, the girl had woken up. She was silent and didn't speak, but she didn't continue to cry. She had no qualifications or reason to blame Zhu Zhu, but she didn't want to speak either.
Standing there silently.
Zhu Zhu staggered to the side of the child. At this time, the other three boys beside the boy couldn't stand anymore and fell to the ground one after another. They looked at Zhu Zhu and the two who were supported by Zhu Zhu on his shoulders and ran all the way.
The children who came over did not speak, but in their hearts they had the same plan as the boy before.
"You guys, all stand up for me!"
Zhuzi's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hands to grab the collars of each child and lifted them up from the ground.
"Uncle Zhuzi, we really can't run anymore. Let us stay. You can run away with Xiaoya and Qiudan."
A boy had a bright smile on his face. These children, all in their teens, were acting like adults. What happened tonight had brought too much impact to them, but they also seemed to have become adults.
The catalyst for their growth.
At this moment, several children seemed to have grown up.
Zhuzi was stunned for a few seconds, and looked at each other with these children. From their eyes, Zhuzi seemed to see the previous companions who fought desperately against the zombies, and saw the old village chief who was desperate for his own life. This man,
This man who was not married yet and was not planning to get married, who had lived alone for so many years, felt the presence of home at this moment.
"Get out!"
Zhuzi cursed angrily, turned his head, and without looking at the children, he pulled the children up from the ground, fought two of them, then squatted down with some difficulty, and motioned for the other two children to climb up.
"You two run away quickly, I will take them to chase you!"
While Zhuzhu squatted down, he shouted to Xiaoya and Qiudan, but neither of the two children answered. They looked at each other silently, and then ran towards the direction of Zhuzhu. Before Zhuzhu could speak, one person
One, helped up the other two children who fell on the ground.
Silently walking past the pillar, a child wanted to struggle and wanted the girl to leave him there, but the girl slapped the child in the face, then silently helped the stunned boy up and walked away
As he passed the pillar, a faint, hoarse voice floated in the wind.
