Lin Mingyong's companions chased for more than ten steps, but could not catch up with Qiao Qingqing who was wearing skates, so they had no choice but to give up.

"Let's go." Qiao Qingqing said to Shao Sheng'an, regardless of Lin Mingyong's shouts behind her.

"Yeah." Shao Sheng'an looked back and felt that he could feel Lin Mingyong's angry eyes from a distance.

"Does your hand hurt?" Shao Sheng'an asked after sliding a thousand meters.

"It doesn't hurt, I feel happy."

"I've always wanted to ask you, did your dad do anything in his previous life?" Shao Sheng'an considered his words, "We didn't invite him when we got married, but you were just indifferent to your father. When we were preparing supplies, you said no.

Inform him over there that today I found that you seem to hate him."

"I'll tell you when I get home. Let's go home first. The wind has picked up."

On the spot, Lin Mingyong withdrew his gaze. He felt that his face was burning. Whether it was the slap or the gossipy and curious gazes of his colleagues, they all made him embarrassed.

"Mr. Lin, how are you?"

"Uncle Lin, I, I don't know, are you okay?"

Lin Mingyong pushed away Du Jie's supporting hand, took a deep breath and put the mask back on, and said in a low voice, "My family is unfortunate, I made everyone laugh."

"No matter where you are, it's all your family business. Children who don't understand should be taught slowly."

Colleagues quickly reconciled, and Du Jie uneasily changed the subject, "It's already three o'clock, Uncle Lin, the task assigned to you by Captain Chen"

"Oh, yes, yes, I still have a mission. When you sit in this position, you have to shoulder the responsibility. You can't let my personal affairs affect the visit mission. I'm sorry, I really can't forgive you all. Let's leave now.

"

The group of seven or eight people continued to move forward, chatting about other topics on the way, throwing the unexpected incident into the cold wind and dispelling the awkward atmosphere.

The rest of the journey went smoothly. When we got home, Qiao Songzhi happened to wake up. Shao's mother was busy taking care of Qiao Songzhi, and Shao's father quickly heated up hot water to scrub them. After being hospitalized for a week, Shao Sheng'an only came back once. Shao's father and the others all knew about Qiao Songzhi.

The situation has stabilized and I feel more at ease.

"Everything is fine in the hospital, except that it's so cold that I can't sleep at night." Qiao Songzhi said with a smile.

"You have suffered so much. You were not at home, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night." Mother Shao held Qiao Songzhi's hand and said with emotion, "Fortunately, you all came back safely, and we are reunited as a family again."

His eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Mom, did something happen at home or in the community?" Qiao Qingqing felt something was wrong. Shao's mother was not such a sentimental person.

Shao's mother wiped her tears, "Many people died in the community. This world is so cruel. I don't know whether they died of starvation or freezing. I feel so uncomfortable when I see them."

Shao Sheng'an frowned, "This didn't happen when I came back three days ago. Did it happen in the past few days?" He remembered the middle-aged woman who cried and begged the soldiers to seek justice for her starving mother when she went to collect supplies last time. Did they

Has something similar happened in Jinyuan Community?

"It will happen after you return to the hospital." Father Shao sighed, "The day before you took your mother-in-law to the hospital, didn't there be a new announcement from the supply ship? The announcement said that in the future, you have to pick up the supplies in person, and you cannot collect them on your behalf.

. Supplies were distributed again two days ago, but as expected, no one was allowed to collect them on their behalf. There was no excuse. Downstairs, Xiao Chen and the others went to collect the supplies behind the backs of Brother Tian and Sister-in-law."

Qiao Songzhi felt strange, "Why did my mother-in-law say so many people died?"

"My mother-in-law, you don't know. After that day, a lot of corpses were brought out in our community. They were not just dead, but dead for a long time. The community usually looks like nothing. How could you know that there are so many dead people hiding in their homes? Now the electricity room

They are all buried there. I counted them yesterday and found that seventeen more holes were dug."

Qiao Songzhi took a breath.

"She went downstairs to take out the trash and bumped into her. She was frightened on the spot." Shao's father sighed.

Shao's mother turned her head and said nothing. Qiao Songzhi patted her hand and comforted her silently.

After a while, Shao's mother said, "The family next door has a baby boy and a girl. I remember that the elder sister in that house loved the baby very much. The water was so deep that she would go out rowing to buy snacks for the baby. When she died, her body was hard.

"Yes, her eyes were so wide open that she was carried by her family members past me. I always felt like she was looking at me."

"No, I'm not looking at you," Shao's father said immediately.

Shao Sheng'an knew that his mother was frightened, so he comforted him and said, "Mom, don't think too much. We have a good life at home. Don't be afraid."

At night, Qiao Qingqing covered Qiao Chanzhi with a quilt and watched her sleep.

"You go back to sleep. I'm such a big man that you don't need to watch me."

"It's okay, mom, just go to sleep. I'll go back to sleep when you fall asleep."

Qiao Songzhi sighed and talked about what happened during the day, "Qingqing, if I freeze to death in a natural disaster, I hope you won't report me as dead. I hope you can use my ID card to get supplies, get an extra portion, and eat enough."

Little by little.”

A few words made Qiao Qingqing's throat sore. She forced a smile and said, "No, I only need to eat a little. I want my mother to live."

"Silly boy, didn't I tell you what to do? But now that the management is strict, there is nothing we can do about it."

Qiao Qingqing changed the topic, "It is a good thing to have strict investigation. Otherwise, some people have malicious intentions and deliberately let their family members die and pretend to receive supplies. If there is no strict investigation, the evil thoughts of some people will be indulged, and it will be bad in the long run."

Qiao Songzhi was surprised, "No way, who would be so cruel?"

"Mom, the human heart is the most unpredictable."

After Qiao Songzhi fell asleep, Qiao Qingqing returned to the room and slept on the bed in her bedroom, feeling the warmth of the floor in the room. The duvet on her body was like feathers, soft and gentle. Qiao Qingqing felt lazy all over.

"Tell me about your father." Shao Sheng'an lay down and hugged her. Qiao Qingqing turned over and hugged his waist, whispering about what happened in her previous life.

"His schemes made me sick, so I killed him."

Shao Sheng'an couldn't help but tighten his arms and hug her tighter.

"You're scared"

Qiao Qingqing looked up, but she couldn't see anything in the darkness.

Shao Sheng'an seemed to shake his head, and Qiao Qingqing heard him say, "Do you want to see my expression? I'll light a candle."

"No need." Qiao Qingqing nestled back again.

Touching Qiao Qingqing's head again and again, Shao Sheng'an said, "I was really shocked just now, but I think you were right to kill him. It's his fault that he wanted to plot against you and harm you."

Qiao Qingqing laughed muffledly, "Your bottom line is being lowered step by step by me."

"It's not that the bottom line has been lowered, but that you are gradually adapting to the new rules of the apocalyptic natural disasters. Qingqing, you have been telling me by your own example that you must be cruel, show no mercy, and use force to deter me. But in fact, you don't like to do this. Qingqing,

Your heart is still soft, and you are not having a hard time either."

"You always think too well of me, I'm not that kind of person." Qiao Qingqing reflected on herself, wondering if she had revealed her fragile side too much before, causing her husband to have a wrong perception of herself.

She is not a woman who is forced to be cruel by the world in Shao Sheng'an's eyes, but in fact she still retains a soft heart.

Maybe Qiao Qingqing was like this in the past, but Qiao Qingqing who lives alone ten years after the apocalypse is not.

"You are the best in my heart."

Qiao Qingqing fell asleep listening to the gentle words of love, and even her dreams were like a sweet and carefree reading era.

Lin Mingyong was not asleep yet. Qiao Qingqing slapped him with great force, leaving a red slap mark on his face. It was really embarrassing at the time. Lin Mingyong was determined, so he could calm down and put on the mask again, leading his men.

People went to work. Du Jie did not dare to talk nonsense along the way and tried to reduce his sense of presence.

After get off work, he diligently sent Lin Mingyong home as usual. Lin Mingyong's family lived in a nearby high-end community. In the past, Lin Mingyong would politely ask him to stay for dinner, but today he didn't say a word. Du Jie didn't dare to say anything more and watched him off enthusiastically. He went upstairs and hurried away.

"What's wrong? There's a ghost chasing you behind. Look at your appearance." Zheng Meng said strangely.

"Don't mention it, isn't it just a day trip?" Du Jie angrily picked up his shoes and sat down hard. His son, who was playing with toys on the sofa, sniffed and grabbed the toys unhappily and entered the room.

"Look, look at him, I am so exhausted taking care of this family, what look in his eyes does he dislike me?"

Zheng Meng hurriedly comforted him, "He is a child. Why are you arguing with a child? I will boil water for you to take a bath later. You got off work late today. Your parents and uncles have eaten and gone out. You said that your cousin has something

Work to do.”

Du Jie couldn't bear to be angry anymore. He knew that his cousin always had a way to get "what kind of job"

"It's hard to say. You can just ask when your parents come back. I'll help you heat up the dinner first." Zheng Meng muttered while heating the meal, "There's not enough firewood to burn. There's still wood nearby. I'm looking next door.

They are all tearing down the furniture and burning it, right? What happened to you today? You are too angry."

Speaking of this, Du Jie became angry and felt that he was unlucky. He told the story, and Zheng Meng poked her head from the kitchen, "No, Qingqing is not this kind of person."

"But you know she just slapped Mr. Lin. I got in only after I curry favor with Mr. Lin. I'm barely a temporary worker. I don't have to do menial work and can get an extra salary. How great. How could I know that Qiao Qingqing suddenly went crazy?

, there really was no warning at all.”

Zheng Meng brought out the food, and Du Jie complained that it was rice porridge and pickles again. She was no longer in the mood to coax him, and said in a daze, "Qingqing must have encountered something, and her personality has changed drastically."

"Her husband is here too. What kind of trouble could she encounter? I think the conflict between father and daughter must be Qiao Qingqing's fault. Mr. Lin also kept me because she and you are good friends. As a result, she

If she doesn't give her father face like this, she's just like a barbecued siu. No matter how beautiful she is, it's of no use. She has a vicious heart."

Zheng Meng came back to her senses and frowned, "Don't say that to Qingqing."

"Then how do you explain what happened that afternoon? Who would have thought it would be like this? That's your good friend. You don't know any better than me."

Zheng Meng was choked. Qingqing is not that kind of person. She is usually gentle and easy to talk to. After so many years of making friends, she has never seen Qingqing slap someone. She couldn't even imagine slapping her own father.

picture.

"Maybe there was a conflict between father and daughter. I'll find time to go see her and figure out what's going on. You can't lose your job."

"Go quickly. I see that Mr. Lin's attitude towards me is not good when he comes home tonight. He holds a grudge."
