Liu Xiaomo has only been here for 24 hours. He has to go and see that vortex, but this old Zhou is very timid. No matter what Liu Xiaomo says or what conditions he offers, this old Zhou just refuses to take him there. ...
The main road at the gate was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers. Without this old Zhou leading the way, Liu Xiaomo couldn't have walked to the edge of the city alone...
"Boom."
Liu Xiaomo took out a crystal and smashed it on the top of the wooden table, Zhou Guanghai looked at it, "What is this?" Sure enough, like the people in God's Bestowed City, they had never seen a crystal.
"Water stone, this stone contains 10 bottles of mineral water..."
As Liu Xiaomo said, Zhou Guanghai curled his lips, "You're talking nonsense! If you can squeeze out a drop of water from this rock, I will give you seven of my wives to sleep with each other tonight..."
Old Zhou Zhou Guanghai expressed his disbelief, and set a very serious flag, and finally he did not forget to despise Liu Xiaomo, an outsider.
But in the next second, Liu Xiaomo picked up the crystal on the wooden table, and in front of Lao Zhou and his seven wives, the crystal released a powerful stream of water...
Chapter 7 Seventeen: The City Under the Sea ([-])
sleep, rest...
When the 1 members of Lao Zhou's family grabbed crystals and filled their stomachs with clean water, Lao Zhou said that he can't walk anymore and needs to rest, and wait until the stomach full of water is digested...
There is no distinction between day and night here in the Undersea City. People here sleep and rest based on their feelings. Sometimes when the wives are happy and Lao Zhou is tired, he can sleep for more than ten hours a night. Lao Zhou didn't bring back food, and his wives were unhappy, so Lao Zhou rested for 2 hours before continuing to go out to find food.
sleep is random...
The old Zhou’s house is not big, with a big bedroom, a small living room, and a small kitchen. Usually, the old Zhou’s family of 1 sleeps in the big bedroom. The big bedroom has three big beds. On weekdays, two wives bring three The child sleeps in a big bed, the three wives sleep in a big bed, and Lao Zhou takes the last two wives to sleep in a bed...
Today, there is an outsider like Liu Xiaomo, but Lao Zhou is very generous. He took three wives to squeeze into a wooden bed, and arranged the youngest Lanzi and Xiaofeng to be beside Liu Xiaomo...
The conditions are difficult, the floor of the living room is damp, Liu Xiaomo is not a hypocritical person at all, he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes for a while, Lanzi and Xiaofeng fell beside him...
"Life here is dark, but also very simple."
After lying down, Lanzi arched Liu Xiaomo's shoulders. She seemed to be saying something to Liu Xiaomo, and she seemed to be talking to herself, "We are here...Brother Xiaomo, I want to say, Say a few words..."
One of Lanzi and Xiaofeng was 23 and the other was 18. After lying down, Lanzi said a few words and found that Liu Xiaomo ignored her. This kind of man hardly exists in the seabed city.
"say what?"
Liu Xiaomo was lying flat and looking at the ceiling, opening and closing his eyes was almost the same here.
"Brother Xiaomo." On the other side, Xiaofeng also arched towards Liu Xiaomo's shoulders, and said softly, "Brother Xiaomo, it makes sense for you to listen to sister Lanzi. We usually like to listen to it." she talks..."
"I want to say... talk about life here..."
Lanzi is not very old, but he seems to have a lot of emotions, "Brother Xiaomo, the people here, the pressure of life before the end of the world is actually quite high..."
"Ah."
Not knowing what she was going to say, Liu Xiaomo responded with a soft "um", and Lanzi continued to speak softly...
"Before the end of the world, we were all a group of people under a lot of pressure... There were white-collar office workers, who worked from nine to six every day, and had one day off a week, or even two days off every month...
There are also students who are facing the high school entrance examination and high school entrance examination, college students who are facing the postgraduate entrance examination, single mothers who support their children alone, and married families with two people who have to support four elderly people... All kinds of things, in different poses and with different expressions... In short, here we are They are all a group of people who are under a lot of pressure before the end of the world..."
She let out a long breath, "It's actually not easy to live before the end of the world, it's so tiring..."
Before the end of the world, most people’s lives were also very difficult. They had to study from an early age, elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, and university entrance exams...
Nearly 20 years, the best time of my life, I finally learned all the way, thinking that I can finally escape from birth and face the vast world, but the result is a crueler workplace... a crueler and more tiring workplace, A darker workplace...
In the cruel workplace, the pressure of marriage and childbirth, the pressure of supporting parents and the elderly, the pressure of interpersonal communication...
Finally, when the child went to school, there was also the pressure of the child's academic performance... In the end, regardless of good or bad, the child was raised until the age of 18, and the child was admitted to university. Although it was a little tight financially, it was relieved anyway... …
But this breath has not been relieved for a long time. The four old people of the husband and wife have reached their twilight years. They are sick, hospitalized, or even lying on the bed...
All have medical insurance, but you should spend a lot of money. There are no good medicine hospitals. If you want to cure your disease, you have to go outside to buy them. The doctor will provide you with the phone numbers of those drug dealers. He is not happy to buy a doctor there, and the consequences of being unhappy are very serious.
Ordinary people have no choice but to go to him to buy those good medicines. Those good medicines can only be bought there... But those medicines are completely out of pocket, and they cost 5000 to 1 yuan a day. Ten thousand, five to six million in two months, three months is an astronomical figure...
This is just one of the four old people who got a serious illness...
Finally, after the husband and wife have given care to the four elderly people, their age may have reached 4 years old...
After working hard all my life, I finally made it to retirement. I felt relieved and relieved. I also sold everything to buy a down payment for my child to buy a house in a big city...
It's all relaxed, the old man has played chess for two years, the old lady has danced square dance for two years, and then it's time for me to get old people's disease...
Getting old, lying on the hospital bed and watching my children worry about themselves, my few savings were squandered in a short time...
I spent all my savings on seeing a doctor, and then I watched my wife lying on the hospital bed worrying about money, selling the house, and taking care of my wife’s illness. The messy nursing home ends this life...
Perhaps before dying, one of the old couple can still remember that he was once held in the hands of his parents, that he was admitted to high school and college with high spirits, that young and handsome boy, that beautiful Virtuous big girl...
They used to be the proud sons of heaven, but at this moment, everything is just a fleeting moment...
Stress, most people may rush through this life under this kind of pressure, and they don't even come in a hurry to take a good look at this world, get to know this world well...
This is the reality, the cruel reality before the end of the world... Most people are just a grain of sand among all living beings, and cannot escape the fate of being a grain of sand, so... maybe the real life before the end of the world may not be as good as this dark doomsday .
"Life here is dark, but also simple..."
Beside him, Lanzi repeated this sentence again...
"It's so tiring before the end of the world. In fact, I think our life like this is better, really better..."
"Carefree like children, we can eat fish every day, we are very happy, we can sleep until we wake up naturally every day, we can enjoy our time to the fullest every day, even if we just sit here in a daze Okay, but this is our own time, not working for others, not making money for others, just enjoying our own lives here..."
Chapter 7 Eighteen: The City Under the Sea ([-])
"The life God has given us, we should enjoy it ourselves, not live to make money for others..."
"Brother Xiaomo, tell me, isn't it good to live like us?"
"Okay, pretty good..."
Lanzi talked for a long time, maybe an hour. At first Liu Xiaomo didn't pay attention to it, but after listening to it, thoughts inevitably entered her mind.
Everyone has their own way of life, and to some extent, Lanzi's way of life may be easier.
She is not very old, but she tells the life of most people in a hurry... This point, Liu Xiaomo feels that he may not see it more thoroughly than her.
The best 20 years of youth in life are spent studying, but the knowledge learned is used to make money for others, marry a wife and have children, support the elderly, and rush through life, and finally fall into a miserable old age...
There are too many examples like this around me, feel carefully, this is actually the living condition of most people...
Maybe there is nothing wrong with Lanzi living for herself and quietly feeling her heartbeat...
