Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 120: Grievances, Refuge

Jiji's crying not only shocked Qiqi and Bai Yang, but also attracted Du Qiuyan and Jiang Minglang.

Seeing the little guy hugging his former friend and crying uncontrollably, Du Qiuyan felt very uncomfortable.

Jiang Minglang didn't know that Lin Zhe's family was all gone. When he saw the child crying while hugging his son, he had some guesses in his mind.

really--
Du Qiyan only whispered, "On the day the apocalypse broke out, Ji Ji's grandmother was in the hospital, and his mother went to take care of the old lady. Later, zombies appeared in the hospital, and Lao Lin led a team to suppress them. He didn't have time to save his mother and wife. As a result, when Qiao Fei and I went there, Lao Lin blew up the hospital. He took his last breath and asked us to help him take care of Ji Ji. Later, the child wanted to find his grandmother, and we thought it was on the way, so we took him to see her. After that, he successfully found his grandmother's family, but his uncle and aunt refused to let him stay."

I remembered the cold tone in which the family said to Gigi, "We can't even support ourselves now, how can we support you? Go back to where you came from."

Although survival is indeed difficult nowadays, he can understand why they don't want to keep Gigi, but there is no need to speak so coldly.

Disdained by his grandmother's family and bullied by An Zirui all the way, he used to be a talkative child, but in recent times he has become unusually silent.

He tried to comfort the little guy. After all, as an instructor, this was the job he did most often in the army.

But after he opened his mouth, he realized that since he was not married and had no children, he was not good at comforting children.

But as he watched the child become more and more silent, he felt very uncomfortable.

Now it’s okay. Although it looks like I’m crying sadly and in a mess, it’s better to let it out than to hold it in.

Du Qiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gigi?"

After the initial daze, Qiqi looked down at his good friend whose shoulders were wet with tears, feeling a little helpless.

He shouted, but Gigi cried even louder.

Qiqi looked up at Baili and asked with his eyes: What happened to Jiji?
Bai Li sighed inwardly, this was something she had been holding back for a long time.

She whispered to comfort her son, "It's okay, just let Gigi finish crying."

Half an hour later, Gigi, who was tired of crying, finally stopped with hiccups.

Old Mrs. Bai, who was attracted by his crying, hurriedly handed him a glass of water and comforted him in a gentle voice, "Good boy, drink some water first to calm down."

I just found out that this is Qiqi's friend in Sucheng community. Although I still don't understand why the child is crying, looking at the aggrieved look on his face, can anything good happen?
Qiqi's shoulder was stiff and wet. Seeing Lin Zhe finally stop, she quickly turned to him and introduced him, "This is my grandmother. Drink some water first. After you finish, I'll take you home."

I was so absorbed in crying that I didn't check for a moment and didn't realize there were people all around me.

Jiji took the cup of water, lowered her head shyly, and whispered a thank you, "Thank you, grandma."

What a polite child.

Mrs. Bai looked at Jiji with increasingly gentle eyes, "Good boy, there are watermelons at home. Let Jiji take you to eat watermelon."

Then he asked, "Have you had lunch?"

Du Qiuyan took Lin Zhe out after breakfast. It was almost eight o'clock. Because they wanted to find a children's clothing store, they took a detour when riding from the greenhouse area to the city. In addition, they did not ride fast, so when the father and son met Fengbao in the city, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Although I brought some biscuits and chocolates with me when I went out, to be honest, I have been eating this stuff for the past few months. If I wasn't really hungry, I would feel like vomiting just by looking at them.

After that, I followed Fengbao here and it’s now 2:15.

So Bai Li and the others had already had lunch.

Just as Jiji was about to say he had eaten, Qiqi's grandmother said before him, "Be good, go eat watermelon with Qiqi first, and I'll give you some sauerkraut noodles."

Saucy noodles?
He swallowed the words of refusal along with his saliva.

Ji Ji turned to look at Du Qi Yan, "Uncle Du."

Du Qiyan smiled at him and said, "Go in with Qiqi."

"Let's go, let's go. You know what? Tiedan is at my house. I'll take you to see it."

Hearing the word "Tiedan", Ji Ji was distracted and asked in surprise, "Why is Tiedan in your house? It's not the one in Building 3."

"It was thrown away, and my mother and I picked it up."

The two children entered the yard and the voices became farther and farther away.

Half an hour later, the臊子面 was ready. The old lady asked Bai Li to call Lin Zhe to eat, and also called Du Qiuyan.

"Captain Jiang."

Du Qiuyan was very embarrassed. He brought Lin Zhe here to meet his friends in order to fulfill his wish, but he ended up having dinner at someone else's house.

Jiang Minglang said, "We are comrades-in-arms, why are you being so polite?"

"That's right," Zhang Shaoda, who came over after hearing the noise, also chatted with Du Qiuyan for a while. Although the two were not very familiar with each other, they knew each other.

Zhang Shaoda said carelessly, "Coach Du, I'm not saying anything bad about your Captain Qiao, but every time there's a big match, he always tries to compete with our boss, and he always loses. What do you think of him? Why bother?"

"Dazi!"

Jiang Minglang glanced at him and said to Du Qiyan, "He is like this, he doesn't keep his mouth shut, don't take it to heart."

Du Qiyan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, "Shao Da is right. We in Team Qiao don't respect anyone except you, Team Jiang. So during the competition, he felt that it was meaningless to compete with other teams. Only by competing with you can he show his true level. If it weren't for you, Team Jiang, he might not even participate in the competition."

Jiang Minglang thought of the very competitive Qiao Fei, smiled and said nothing.

After a while, seeing that Du Qiyan had finished his noodles, he said, "Don't call me Captain Jiang. I'm older than you. Just call me brother."

"Okay, Brother Jiang."

Du Qiuyan followed suit and glanced at Ji Ji who burped contentedly after finishing a big bowl of noodles.

I just heard Qiqi who was sitting next to me asked, "Jiji, don't leave today, stay at my house for a few days."

"Ah?" Lin Zhe was stunned for a moment, then reflexively turned his head to look at Du Qiuyan, his eyes filled with desire and inquiry.

Qiqi followed his gaze and looked at Du Qiuyan, feeling very curious. Jiqi had lost his father and mother, so now he was following Uncle Du. Did that mean Uncle Du was his adoptive father?

He asked sincerely, "Is it okay, Uncle Du? Let Jiji play at my house for a few days before going back. Don't look down on my dad, I can make the decisions at my house."

Jiang Minglang glanced at his son with amusement, and said to Du Qiyan, "If you and Qiao Fei decide to stay in Pengcheng, you can let Jiji stay here first."

In his heart, Du Qiyan really wanted Jiji to stay here before he decided to leave. But he couldn't show it too obviously, lest the child misunderstand and think that he didn't want him.

Hearing what Jiang Minglang said, he nodded to Ji Ji and said, "Okay, then you can play with Qiqi for two days, and your uncle will come to pick you up after two days, okay?"

"okay!"

With Uncle Du's permission, Gigi answered in an exceptionally loud voice.

"Yeah, great, come on, Jiji, I'll take you to see the sheep."

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm responsible for raising and feeding the sheep and goats. They are my soldiers and they all have to listen to me. And the chickens, my grandmother asked the hen to hatch a brood of chicks, and now they are almost ready to lay eggs." Lin Zhe's eyes lit up and his face was full of envy when he heard this.

After the two little guys ran out kicking and clattering, Du Qiuyan also stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, he asked Jiang Minglang, "Captain Jiang, Brother Jiang, if one day our superiors recall us, will you go back?"

Jiang Minglang shook his head without hesitation, "No."

Du Qiuyan was stunned. He really didn't expect that the famous Captain Jiang would answer this question so straightforwardly.

Also good
He hesitated for a moment and asked again, "What if one day I come to you?"

Jiang Minglang stared at Du Qiyan for a while, then grinned and extended a hand to Du Qiyan, "You're most welcome!"

Everyone knows that the instructor of the 94th Team is the wise man of their regiment. He was specially recruited into the army with a master's degree. In their eyes, he is a civilian, but his physical fitness is not bad either.

Jiang Minglang appreciates Du Qiuyan more than the competitive Qiao Fei.

But for some unknown reason, Du Qiuyan seemed to be intending to part ways with Qiao Fei.

Very good. With people from all sides arriving in Pengcheng soon, if Du Qiuyan can stay in Yunxi Village, he will have an extra help.

Both of them were smart enough not to ask each other about their abilities.

As it grew darker, Du Qiuyan rode his bike back to the courtyard in the greenhouse area.

Qiao Fei had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw him alone, his expression changed, "Where's Ji Ji?"

"We found his friend. He wants to stay there for two days."

"Friends? What friends?"

Du Qiyan didn't want to hide it and replied directly, "Do you remember the mother and son who were moving things in the supermarket with us when we left Sucheng?"

Of course Qiao Fei remembered it. He had even thought of it yesterday when Gigi mentioned the parrot singing in the sky.

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "You actually found it, how did you find it?"

Du Qiyan did not answer this question, but said, "You guessed right, they are indeed Captain Jiang's wife and children. I met Captain Jiang today."

"Jiang Minglang?" Qiao Fei blurted out.

"Yes, go in and talk."

Du Qiuyan took out the key and opened the door. When he turned around to push the cart, he found Qiao Fei looking at him with a complicated look.

Du Qi Yan was very smart, and he had been a partner with Qiao Fei for many years, so he could tell what Qiao Fei was thinking just by glancing at his expression.

He pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "If you don't lock the door, I can't guarantee that your nephew will do anything."

In anger, he rushed into the house and threw all of Gigi's luggage away, or stepped on it and made it dirty. It was not impossible for that naughty kid to do such a thing.

For example, when he had eaten enough biscuits on the road and had nothing else to eat, he angrily snatched the biscuits from Gigi's hand, threw them on the ground and crushed them.

Really, at that time he was trying hard not to slap him.

Hearing Du Qiyan's words, Qiao Fei felt a little embarrassed, and more embarrassed, "Sorry, that kid is indeed spoiled by his family."

"I'm not the one you should be sorry for."

Du Qiuyan pushed the bicycle into the yard, then walked to the water pressure well, scooped a bucket of water into the water pressure well with a scoop, and then started pumping water.

After a while, a clear stream was seen flowing out of the water pressure well.

Qiao Fei watched his old comrade-in-arms scoop up a basin and rinse it clean, then pour half a basin of water to wash his hands and face.

He looked stunned.

Du Qiuyan is from the water system, but he actually uses water from a pressurized well?

He looked at him with complicated eyes and said seriously, "When Jiji comes back, I will let An Zirui apologize to him."

Du Qiuyan, who was splashing water on his face, stopped what he was doing and sighed in disappointment when he heard this.

Let An Zirui apologize to Gigi?
Qiao Wei had said this countless times along the way, but had she ever said it to herself?

Or will that naughty kid really apologize sincerely?
In the past, Du Qiuyan would definitely not bother with a tiny kid, but when he thought of the scene today where Jiji hugged Qiqi and cried in grievance, he felt very uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, this is not your own child, so if he is bullied, you can just apologize and let it go.

He took a stool from the kitchen door and sat on it, then took another one for Qiao Fei.

After the other person sat down next to him, he said, "Old Qiao, I won't hide the fact that we have been together for more than ten years. I don't think highly of Li Nan, so I don't plan to get involved in his affairs."

When Qiao Fei saw Du Qiyan change the subject to avoid the question about Gigi and An Zirui, he inexplicably felt relieved.

Then he said seriously, "Have you guessed what he wants to do?"

Du Qiyan didn't answer, but looked at him and waited for him to continue.

"He is very ambitious. He wants to form a team and make new rules and regulations while Pengcheng is still in chaos."

"New rules and regulations?" Du Qiyan sneered, "Is it to control Pengcheng and establish a new government?"

"Yes, do you know what they are doing today? They are going to subdue other forces in Pengcheng, gather capable survivors, and repair the government building."

Du Qiuyan narrowed his eyes, he was indeed ambitious!
He asked Qiao Fei, "What are your plans?"

"I also think it's unreliable, so I didn't give him a definite answer today. I just said I would discuss it with you."

If you don't cooperate with Li Nan, or if you don't belong to him, then it's not good to live here. Although the owners of these houses are no longer here, they don't belong to Li Nan.

But who made it happen that it was found by someone else?

I can stay here thanks to the life-saving grace, but there is no guarantee that they won't harm me.

Those people are not so particular.

Du Qiyan looked at him deeply and said bluntly, "I plan to join Team Jiang."

Qiao Fei:.
He looked at Du Qiyan, frowned, and asked, "What did you say?"

The two have been partners for more than ten years and have been together since the end of the world. To be honest, he never thought that Lao Du and he would separate.

Yes, he admitted that Jiang Minglang was very strong and he admired him. But that didn't mean he wanted to join him and be inferior to him.

"Du Qiyan"

Du Qiyan interrupted him and analyzed the situation slowly, "Old Qiao, I know you can't abandon your sister, but if we are still together, have you thought about what will happen to Jiji in the future? Don't forget, we promised Old Lin that we would take good care of him. So what I mean is that I will take Jiji to join Captain Jiang. It just so happens that he is a good friend of Captain Jiang's son, so the two of them will have a companion in the future. Don't worry, I will raise Jiji well and will never give up on him."

　good night!
