Plague Doctor - Chapter 747
The night is like water, and the frog calls in the summer come from that huge field, one after another, after another, like a thunder.
An MPV car drove on an unmanned road. After entering this remote area, there was less and less traffic. Only a long distance along the way there was a small village in the sorrow. At this early morning, they were all calm. Only occasional barking shows that there are still people in the village.
The two children who had already slept in the car woke up because of the frog’s cry. They have lived in the city since birth. They understand the sound of the engine and the horn of the car, but they are full of this natural sound Curious.
“What’s that called?” asked the three-year-old Cai girl.
“Frog.” Yu Qi stroked her daughter’s head and said, “The kind of frog in “Frog Prince”.”
“Ahhhhhhhhh.” The six-year-old son Xiaohu’s head shouted imitatingly, and the noise brought joy at the same time.
But Guo Pengbin, who was driving, still stopped: “Don’t quarrel with your grandma, grandpa and grandma.” The three old men fell asleep by the back of the chair. They bumped for almost ten hours and couldn’t stretch their legs. Their aged body is suffering.
Xiao Hu’s head lowered his voice, but he leaned forward and leaned into the ear of his father in the driver’s seat in the front row, croaking again.
Guo Pengbin ignored his son, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself: “It’s almost time.”
The mobile phone navigation shows that there is less than ten kilometers left from the destination of Hewei Village, which can be reached soon.
On this road, Guo Pengbin was responsible for driving at full speed, and Yu Qi was responsible for brushing the news with his mobile phone at all times, and did not continue to have an accident; Citigroup gave many statements about what happened in New York. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they will fight to the end.
Those statements and statements have made the world more aware of the complexity, dark power, aliens, and dimension invasion of the world they are in…
Seriously, Guo Pengbin and Yu Qi can’t really understand much, but they know that their guess is right, and even the AGC cannot guarantee everyone’s safety.
Moreover, strangers are constantly emerging in various places, and there are more and more weird howlings.
Yu Qi knows that it is because he keeps brushing a website that provides warning maps, whether they are strangers or patients. Wherever there is a new howling, they appear as red dots on the warning map. And the red dots in Dongzhou are already densely packed, more than ten times more than when they set off.
For Hewei Village, their destination has not yet seen a red dot, and there is no range in this area.
When only the last five kilometers were left, Guo Pengbin stopped the car and called Uncle Quan. He was less than sixty years old. He was a man with a mobile phone in the village and quickly connected. Guo Pengbin asked: “Uncle Quan, we are almost there. What happened in the village today? Is there anything strange?”
“Weird? No.” Uncle Quan’s words came from the phone. “It’s still like that, where are you?”
“It’s almost time to go to the head of the village.” Guo Pengbin said after talking to his wife, he continued to drive the car.
Although the road here was very bad, the five kilometers still ran quickly. The couple saw the yellow mud houses forming the village through the windshield and the lights of the headlights. Someone was playing with a flashlight on the roadside of the village. , Uncle Quan should be them. Guo Pengbin couldn’t help saying: “Here, he’s here, wife, wake up their mother.”
The two children looked around curiously, and Yu Qi woke up some old people. Everyone heard the shouts of the people waiting in front of the village.
“Peng Bin!” a middle-aged man shouted, shaking the flashlight in his hand, with joy in his voice: “Here.”
The headlights made their figures a little blurry, and they drew closer, so Guo Pengbin could clearly see their faces, Uncle Quan, Uncle Red and Uncle Bo. Uncle Quan is a relative, and Uncle Red and Uncle Bo are close friends of his old father. I haven’t seen you in some years…
At this time, Guo Pengbin suddenly had some complicated and inexplicable feelings, and he should have returned to the village to have a look.
The car slowly slowed down and stopped. Ms. Guo had rolled down the window and looked out to say hello to these old acquaintances who might not be seen for a long time: “Come back, Peng Bin said it was dangerous outside recently , Many messy diseases, come back to live for a while.”
“I want to live as long as I want.” Uncle Quan nodded happily, his dark face was full of smiles, “Your house is still there, some debris was put before, I moved it for you today, there are beds and stoves …But you have lived in the city for a long time, you may not be used to it…”
“Why?” Guo Pengbin hurriedly said that the two yellow mud houses had been transferred out a few years ago. They could not live with them at all, and it would be nice to have Uncle Quan as a person. Well, I will ask you Uncle Quan more.
The two children probed their brains. He took everyone out of the car, and then introduced the three uncles, “Quick call.”
This time Xiaohutou and Caiya were also well-behaved. Although they were young, they seemed to be sensible. They called three uncles to make Uncle Quan all smile more.
It is not the oldest man or mother-in-law who is most likely to live unaccustomed. They are older. Even if it is not the current situation, it is good to be able to live in this fresh air village for a period of time; the most probable one is his wife. , Yu Qi is not that kind of sloppy woman, at this time also very polite.
The night is very deep. There are no young people in the village all year round. There are very few cars. Some vehicles are agricultural diesel tricycles. The roads between the houses are mostly dirt roads. And these yellow mud houses are built densely. MPV can’t drive in.
At the moment, the car stopped at the entrance of the village. Guo Pengbin and Uncle Quan and several other men moved a box of luggage from the rear compartment to the two yellow mud houses in the village.
When Yu Qi saw the two adjacent yellow mud houses, she was still uncomfortable even though she had already been psychologically prepared and understood what the situation was now.
The two houses are all high, with an old and broken yellow mud wall, an old and broken tile roof, and a similarly old and broken wooden door. There is a dilapidated small yard outside, overgrown with no Weeds managed by people are piled with debris such as water tanks and firewood.
The power pole plugged in the roadside outside the house was crumbling, and there were wires leading to the two old houses, but because they were in disrepair, Uncle Quan also said that they could not get electricity.
After entering the house, Guo Pengbin opened the old electric gate mounted on the wooden board. The electric lamp wrapped in the spider’s web could emit a dim light, which made them all relieved. At the current temperature, if there is no electricity and no fan, it is difficult to sleep well. Don’t even think about the air conditioner, only there is no fan in the house. Fortunately, there is an idle floor fan in Uncle Hong’s house, and there is a small fan over Uncle Quan’s house. this problem.
There is tap water, and the water quality gradually clears after letting out the turbid water from the long-old hose. However, the “kitchen” is basically an old stove in the house and a few pots in the courtyard outside; and there is no separate toilet. The toilet is a small hut on the wasteland not far from the courtyard.
With this kind of living environment, it may be no problem to live for a few days, but if you live for a long time, there will definitely be a lot of problems…
When Uncle Quan did not pay attention, Yu Qi sighed, did not cover up her loss, and said to her husband: “There are a lot of renovations to be done, at least there is a separate bathroom… In our house, the monthly payment cannot be broken. What about…”
Guo Pengbin stopped talking, and at last he didn’t say anything. First, continue to move the luggage in.
The two yellow mud houses, the one whose family lives with his mother a little bigger, the old man and the mother-in-law live next to the smaller one.
Uncle Quan, Red Uncle and Uncle Bo busy, in this summer season, even if the night wind is cool, they are too busy to sweat, shirtless, and bulging belly, like when working in the field . It wasn’t until they were busy that they saw the family settle down, and the three uncles had to leave and go home.
Before leaving, Uncle Quan said: “You live first, there is something missing and need to repair, tell me tomorrow, I will take you to the town to find someone to do well.”
“Okay.” Guo Pengbin nodded, actually wanting the whole village to be closed, not to contact the outside in a short time, including the nearest town.
After Uncle Quan had left, everyone who had been traveling for a day should also go to bed and rest.
At first, the two children were curious to look at Bala here and there. There were many questions to ask their parents, but after all, they were a few years old and they soon became tired. Yu Qi coaxed the two children to sleep in the house The little broken wooden bed near the door with the best ventilation was driven by the borrowed old floor fan that made a squeak.
She told a fairy tale to the two children and let them sleep peacefully. She went to another yellow mud house to help her parents pack things.
And Guo Pengbin’s mother thought it was too hot in the house. After seeing her grandchildren, she moved a bamboo mat on the outside yard and just slept on it just after cleaning the ground. The dark surroundings, mosquitoes and the like, she and the old peasant woman can bear, just like the refreshing night breeze.
Guo Pengbin stood at the door of the yellow mud house and watched his mother sleep there on the ground. After a while, she sniffed her nose and was asleep.
He glanced at the dark night, his heart twisted, and after a sigh, he walked over to the wooden bed over there.
Cai girl also fell asleep, UU reading www. uukanshu.com but the little tiger’s head was still turning around and probed his brain. When he saw him coming, he whispered, “Dad, I can’t sleep…”
“What’s wrong?” Guo Pengbin sat by the bed, paying attention to avoiding the position where the fan blows. In fact, he drove the car for a day. He was highly concentrated and nervous all the time. He was exhausted long ago. He almost fell asleep after sitting down. “Is it hot? The bed is too hard? The fan is too noisy? Or is it outside? Is the frog noisy?”
Xiaohu head shook his head as he listened, “I can’t sleep…”
“Have you missed your home?” Guo Pengbin whispered and reached out to caress his son’s young face. “This is home. Dad used to grow up here and sleep in the bed you are sleeping now…” …Dad knows, you are still not used to it, but something happened…We all have to be brave, you know?”
The little tiger’s head seemed to understand, after all, he nodded his head and closed his eyes vigorously. The small face was determined, “Know, I am a man.”
“Well, go to sleep…” Guo Pengbin couldn’t help smiling, maybe the room was really too hot, even the cold heart from time to time was a little warmer.
