Chapter 68 Comforting the Family
The community is like outside, and many people are bowing and preparing to leave here. Out of fear of the status quo, they hope to leave this place where they are familiar with and understand fear.
Wu Rui took Jiang Qian and the other two back home. When Wu's mother saw the blood on Wu Rui's body, she went forward and hugged Wu Rui.
Tears were flowing, and Wu Rui felt a little heartbroken when he looked at it.
"Mom, I'm fine, this is not my blood!" Wu Rui put his right hand on Wu's mother's shoulder and comforted him softly.
"Woooo, you are not allowed to go out anymore, no matter how much! If you have something to do, what will mom do!"
Wu's mother cried very sadly, and the atmosphere on the scene was immediately deviated by Wu's mother.
"Mom, that... Aunt Yang and the others are here too. Please don't cry for the first time..." Wu Rui said, pointing to Jiang Qian and others behind him.
It was not until this time that Mother Wu calmed down and called Dad Wu in the living room.
The families on both sides exchanged greetings, and then at Wu Rui's suggestion, six people came to the living room of the Wu family together.
In the living room, Mother Wu poured tea for several people. After finishing everything, she sat next to her son Wu Rui.
"Ruirui, can you tell me what's going on outside now?" Dad Wu asked with a serious look on his face.
"There is no big problem for the time being. The two insect stars have been settled by the military sub-district of Ling City. As for the insects scattered around Ling City, there will definitely be no more than one hundred insects scattered around Ling City. If I understand it, Ling City will definitely be a very safe city." Wu Rui said.
"Is this insect scourge really as exaggerated as the Internet said?" Jiang Qian's father asked, and his face was filled with worries.
Obviously, before coming, Dad Jiang also looked at some related reports online.
Wu Rui smiled bitterly and said, "On the Internet? Huh, this insect disaster may be more exaggerated than the ones on the Internet. These are still news reported by many places where the disaster is not serious. By the morning of tomorrow, when other news materials arrive, we will probably see more detailed reports."
"this……"
For a moment, the faces of the Jiang family and the Wu family became ugly.
When Wu Rui saw this scene, he shook his head helplessly. In order to make them more fully prepared, Wu Rui had to add: "The Xinxian County in Ling City has almost become a dead city due to the insect disaster. I just came back from Xinxian County, and it was so miserable there!"
Wu Rui's words undoubtedly aggravated the panic among the two families. At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Wu Rui, as if they were waiting for Wu Rui, and asked him to give everyone a clear direction.
Perhaps because he understood the meaning of everyone's eyes, Wu Rui continued: "There should be no problem for the time being, but for the sake of safety, the Star City is the best choice. As the provincial capital of the province, Star City is the place where heavy troops are guarding."
"Then let's clean up now and the whole family will set out for Star City together!" Wu's mother made a quick decision and was about to leave as soon as she said she wanted.
"No, no! Mom, I haven't finished speaking yet." Wu Rui shouted quickly.
"You keep going." Wu's mother stopped with a serious look on her face.
Wu Rui recalled it, as if in his memory, Lingcheng in his previous life was also a place that survived the first round of insect scourge, so Lingcheng should be a relatively safe place for the next ten days.
In addition, with his presence here, it is almost impossible for the insects in Lingcheng to break through the defense line, so in total, Wu Rui said: "I think we should not leave easily now, because none of us knows what we will encounter on the road. In my opinion, staying in Lingcheng is the wisest choice at the moment."
"There are soldiers and combat power in Lingcheng now. I believe that the provincial government will also lower its troops to Lingcheng tomorrow, so let's wait at home now."
"Is this really possible? Lingcheng is just a small city after all, and the provincial government will really arrange troops to Lingcheng?" Dad Jiang said with some disbelief.
"Really." Wu Rui nodded, then pointed to his military uniform, "You should believe me."
"Okay." Dad Jiang spread his hands.
"Ruirui, then do you still want to go out?" Wu's mother began to worry again.
Wu Rui was a little helpless, but he still grabbed Wu's mother's hand and said softly: "Mom, forgive my son for being unfilial, because this is my mission and responsibility. I can't escape, nor can I escape! If even we have such an idea, what should you do? What should you do in this world? So, I must go back and stick to my post, for you and for others!"
"I..." Mother Wu wanted to say something else, but was pulled by Dad Wu on the side.
The couple looked at each other, and the tacit understanding of the couple for many years broke out at this moment.
"I understand, mom supports you, Ruirui, you must be more careful." Wu's mother said earnestly, and tears seemed to appear in her eyes.
"I will definitely do it! Whether it is for me or for you!" Wu Rui's tone was very firm.
"Yes." Wu's mother nodded and hugged Wu Rui again.
"Mom, I'll take a shower first. You can arrange it too, so that Uncle Jiang and the others can rest as soon as possible. After all, it's almost four o'clock now, and it's very late." Wu Rui stood up and smiled kindly at Jiang Qian and the other two.
"Okay, wait for me." Wu's mother said, then got up and walked towards the house.
Wu Rui's family has four bedrooms and two living rooms, so there are two guest rooms. It is not stressful for the Wu family to move in.
Aunt Yang and Jiang Qian both went to help Wu's mother, and there were only father Jiang and father Wu left in the hall.
After taking a sip of tea, Dad Jiang suddenly said, "Old Wu, do you think the daily necessities will surge in the past few days?"
"That's for sure." Dad Wu also took a sip of tea and said, "You know, I'm just engaged in supermarket business. If this situation doesn't rise, there will be a ghost."
"Then your supermarket tomorrow..." Dad Jiang did not continue.
Dad Wu frowned and then said, "I will arrange for the supermarket to close tomorrow."
"Why?" Dad Jiang was a little surprised.
"I don't want to raise prices, nor do I want to offend people under such special circumstances." said Dad Wu.
"That's right." Dad Jiang asked: "There will not be a riot in Ling City! After all, if such a thing happens, it is possible that the riot will happen!"
"I don't know." Dad Wu shook his head, "It depends on how Lingshi City Government operates. If it is controlled well, the riots should not happen."
"Hope!"
The two old men chatted for a while, and waited until after Mama Wu and the other two had finished packing, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The room where Jiang Qian lives is right opposite Wu Rui's room, and when Wu Rui came out of the shower, Jiang Qian had not yet fallen asleep.
Wu Rui was a little embarrassed when he stood at the door and looked at Jiang Qian, but after entering his room, the embarrassment subsided.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock at the door.
Wu Rui looked at the door and then saw Jiang Qian standing there nervously.
"What's wrong?
"Can I chat with you?" Jiang Qian asked weakly.
"Uh...it's very late..." Wu Rui politely refused.
"Just a moment!" Jiang Qian looked at Wu Rui pitifully.
