Chapter 0693 Weng Lan’s Story—The Beginning

"The Story of Weng Lan - The Beginning"

AD 2039, June 25, the twenty-fourth year of the end of the century, nine o'clock in the morning in the United States.

One hundred kilometers south of Houston, on the coast of Galveston, there is a small town called Bravecity, which means City of the Brave.

The so-called city is not worthy of its name. Bravecity is very small, not even a small town. It is only about two hundred meters long and wide, and contains five families and a population of forty-eight.

These people chose to stay away from the big city in the last days and took refuge in this secluded place by the sea. They have lived together quietly for nine years.

Because the population is small, there are only twelve double-story wooden houses in the town, and the people living in them belong to five families.

In a courtyard in the south of the town, in front of a double-story wooden house, an Oriental woman in her forties was washing clothes in a large wooden basin.

She was dressed casually, with her feet bare, black leggings on her legs, and only a purple bra on her upper body.

Although she is old, her figure is still very curvy, without a trace of fat, and her skin is very delicate and white, making her look like she is only thirty years old.

After washing all the clothes, the woman walked back and forth on the soft beach and hung the clothes one by one on the clothesline in the courtyard.

At this time, outside the half-meter high fence, an Oriental man about twenty years old and a girl about twelve or thirteen years old pushed open the door and walked in.

"Mama, look, alotoffish! It's so awesome!"

The little girl ran to the woman's side, turned around and showed her mother the fish in the basket.

The woman pulled the little girl into her arms, kissed her on the cheek, and then helped her take down the basket she was carrying behind her back. She saw that there were indeed many fish in it.

"Annie is so capable! She is such a good daughter!"

"No, dad actually caught this, I just gave him a little help!"

The woman touched her daughter's head lovingly, then looked at the handsome man following her, sighed and said:

"Look at your daughter, what she says is neither right nor foreign!

A lot of fish doesn’t mean a lot of fish, but she says ‘alotoffish’, which is a mixture of Chinese and English. How can outsiders understand it? "

The man smiled slightly, stepped forward, hugged the woman, and kissed her deeply on the lips.

The woman was a little uncomfortable with being intimate with her husband in front of her daughter. She pushed the man away awkwardly, and then the expression on her face turned a bit resentful.

"Jace, why do you think this is happening? It has been more than twenty years and you haven't aged at all, but I have become an old woman!"

Jess knew his wife's heartache and comforted him with a smile:

"Who said you are an old woman? Look at your face, there are no wrinkles at all. At most, you can only be regarded as a mature woman now. You know, I like mature women, and I like your reserved craziness in bed!"

Jess's wife, Liu Tian, ​​blushed. She glanced at her daughter who was counting fish on the side, pushed Jess gently, and then said: "My daughter is still over there, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Jess laughed loudly, and then said: "Dear, this is the United States in the apocalypse! 2039 AD! Our daughter is thirteen years old this year, and she can even find a boyfriend, so there is no need to avoid her and let her Understand more things so that she can deal with it calmly when she experiences it for herself! You are too conservative as a mother, so I, the father, can only educate her."

Little Annie curled her lips in disdain, did not look at her parents, and continued to count the fish, as if she did not hear what they were saying at all.

Jess came back from fishing at sea, and Liu Tian also finished her housework. The couple asked their daughter Annie to put the fish in a basin and put them in water to raise. They went to the kitchen together and started preparing dinner.

"Don't take Annie with you when you go to sea in the future. What if you encounter a mutated sea beast?" Liu Tian chatted with Jess while cutting tomatoes.

Jess was cleaning and packing the sea fish at this time.

"Don't worry, after living here for so long, I have never found any dangerous mutant creatures in the nearby sea."

"I have really lived here for a long time. We should have arrived in the United States in 2020, right? Nineteen years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

"Yes, in order to find Benita, you and I made it all the way to the United States and settled down. My dear, thank you."

Jess stopped what he was doing and stood up. He originally wanted to hug his wife, but his hands had a lot of fishy smell from killing fish, so he just lowered his head and kissed Liu Tian on the cheek.

Liu Tian raised her head habitually and responded to Jess. Although her daughter was not around, she was still very generous and didn't mind kissing the man she loved deeply in the kitchen.

After that, the two separated and continued to do their own things.

"When I came to the United States with you to look for your ex-wife, I was very reluctant, but seeing you depressed every day in Darklight City, I couldn't bear it. After so many years, I haven't found Bei. Nita, on the contrary, I feel empty in my heart! In the final analysis, it is all caused by the apocalypse. If it were not for the apocalypse, my relatives would not be separated, and you and I would not be able to meet each other. With the fate of this couple."

"My dear, you have to believe that I love you! I love you very much. I also believe that Benita should still be alive and well, but I don't know where she is now. We went to many places in the early years, and we also heard about There is a story about a Chinese man looking for Weng Lan. I believe that man is Qin An. I originally wanted to go with him back then, but he didn’t take me with him. Hey, it seems like it was just yesterday when I think about it."

"You have always put Qin An in your mouth these years. If I were not your wife, I would definitely think that you might like men and Qin An. It seems that we were not together with Qin An for a long time, right? Why can't you forget him? ?”

"Because I have always regarded him as my friend, and I really like the Chinese poetry he wrote! I think it is a beautiful form of artistic expression."

When Liu Tian heard Jace suddenly talk about Chinese poetry, her face turned red and she stopped talking.

Jess cleaned the fish in his hands, then raised his head and was lost in thought, and suddenly said:

"I am a fish in the sea,

It’s naughty to love drinking sea water!

The woman surnamed Liu is my wife.

Dolce Vita watermelon rind

Oh God, this is so hard! It is necessary to pursue the artistic conception of a horizontal poem, but also to make the first word of each sentence connect to form a sentence, and to make the last word rhyme, and the whole poem needs to be read coherently and completely! God, acrostics are so difficult! Damn Qin An, he obviously promised to teach me! "

Liu Tian couldn't bear it anymore, her face turned red and she burst out laughing.

Every time her husband mentions Qin An, he always writes an acrostic poem, but his poems are just like jokes. Liu Tian laughs every time she hears them.

"My dear, I'm begging you! Although you look like an Oriental, and although your Chinese proficiency is as pure as fire, you are an American after all. You grew up in the United States! So, don't waste it. How about our Chinese poetry? Haha, watermelon rind? It’s so funny!”

Jace didn't mind his wife's ridicule because he knew his level.

"Didn't I just make it up for the sake of rhyme?"

"But your poem doesn't overwhelm the rhyme! It's really that the words don't convey the meaning, and the donkey's lips are out of line with the horse's mouth!"

"God! I'm so sad. My wife is mocking me like this. What fate do I have!"

Jess had a depressed look on his face, while Liu Tian was laughing so much that she squatted on the ground, clutching her stomach. The atmosphere in the kitchen was harmonious and full of joy.

At this moment, in the living room outside the kitchen, a black man in his thirties rushed in. He looked panicked and shouted in English: "Mayor, where are you? Something happened!"

Jess and Liu Tian were slightly stunned at the same time. They looked at each other, then put down what they were doing and quickly walked out of the kitchen to the living room.

"Falk, what happened, please don't worry and tell me slowly!" Jace said.

The black man named Falk gasped and took a sip of the water Liu Tian handed him.

"Mayor Jess, today I took a few brothers to weed the crops in a field two kilometers south. Just now, we met a woman! She was covered in blood, lost one arm, and eventually fainted In the fields! We have brought her back to our town. My father scolded me severely and said that this will probably bring us trouble. What do you think we should do? Oh, by the way! Then The broken flesh of the wound on the woman’s broken arm would keep squirming. My father said she was probably a superpower, but she was too seriously injured, so she couldn’t repair her broken arm quickly!”

Jace's face turned gloomy. Did he rescue a seriously injured woman? Maybe a superpower?

More than twenty years after the end of the world, outsiders are still dangerous to people who live anywhere for a long time!

Jess didn't dare to delay, turned around and said to Liu Tian: "My dear, I need you to go out and call Annie to your side. I want to go to Falk's house to check on the situation!"

Liu Tian quickly said in Chinese: "I will protect Annie, and I will go there after I pack up my things! Remember to have people nearby to alert you, if she is really a mutant, what you call a superpower , then I think the person who injured her should also be a mutant! The gangs in Houston are not easy to mess with. You must find out her identity. Maybe she is a gang member herself. If that is the case, you will be in trouble! Those people can do anything, and they won’t be grateful just because others saved their lives!”

Jace nodded, of course he knew the evil of the gang.

In these years, if Houston had not been occupied by gangs, he should have been living in Houston, because he still expected that one day his ex-wife Benita would return to their pre-apocalyptic home.

No matter who the woman was, Jace knew she was in trouble.

Their town is built on a beach by the sea, which is not suitable for farming, so the farmland of the town is two kilometers away.

When a woman reaches the cultivated land, she cannot be allowed to fend for herself under any circumstances, so Falk has no choice but to bring the woman back, because if someone chases the woman to the cultivated land, they will also find their town.

Now we can only take one step at a time!

While Jace was thinking, he took Falke away from his home and only walked more than a hundred meters to Falke's home.

When he entered the living room, he found a woman lying on the ground with blood all over her body. She had obviously fainted. Falk's father was staring at the woman's head with a gun, and several other young people were holding their hands. Standing on four legs in the living room with weapons in hand.

When Braun saw Jace coming, he finally felt a little relieved.

"Jace, come and see, she is indeed a superpower, and her broken arm is slowly regenerating!"

Jace stepped forward and knelt down to look at the woman.

After that, his whole body suddenly trembled and he was stunned.
