    In the end, Jiang Rong couldn't push Uncle Li, and finally accepted the big basket of pink and white peaches.Just as he was about to move the peaches home, Jiang Xiaoheng rushed out from the yard screaming, trying to put the duckling sun hat on his head while running: "Dad, uncle is awake~"

    He ran too fast and lost his center of gravity. When he rushed out of the courtyard door, he tripped over the slide rail of the door: "Oh..."

    Seeing his son falling forward, Jiang Rong said in his throat, "Be careful!" However, even if there was wind under his feet, there was no way to catch the child before he fell.

    At the critical moment, a slender arm grabbed the back collar of Xiaoheng's clothes in time.As soon as his arm was exerted, Xiaoheng was lifted up.Xiaoheng turned around suspiciously, and saw Guan Shao's handsome face.

    Realizing that it was his uncle who helped him up, Xiaoheng thanked obediently: "Thank you uncle~"

    Guan Shao put the child down slowly, "Yes."

    After Jiang Xiaoheng stood still, Jiang Rong also ran up to him. After seeing that his son was unharmed, he heaved a sigh of relief: "You have to watch the road when you run. You see how dangerous it is. Thank you, uncle?"

    Jiang Xiaoheng nodded again and again, he raised his head and pointed in Guan Shao's direction, "Dad, uncle is awake~"

    Jiang Rong and Guan Shao met each other's eyes, and before he could speak, Guan Shao's voice of thanks came over: "Thank you." If Jiang Rong hadn't saved him, I don't know what would happen to him and the child now.

    Jiang Rong smiled and said, "It's easy. By the way, how do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

    The corners of Guan Shao's lips turned up slightly, and the sharpness of his whole body was replaced by gentleness, "It's pretty good."

    Jiang Rong's neck was scalding hot from the sun. He pointed to the room and said to the two of them, "Go back first, I'll be right back. Xiaoheng, go get uncle some water to drink."

    Jiang Xiaoheng responded, bouncing and walking towards the living room, while Jiang Rong walked eastward along the mountain path.Just as he was about to take Taozi away, the peach basket was picked up by Guan Shao who came from behind.

    The man in bandages didn't care about the wounds on his body, and a large basket of peaches seemed weightless in his hands.Guan Shao weighed the plastic basket, and strode towards the courtyard regardless of Jiang Rong's obstruction.

    With the blessing of Jiang Rong's ability, the peaches in Uncle Li's house are big and sweet.The peaches wrapped in the bag were not polluted by the black rain, and each one exuded a sweet taste.Jiang Xiaoheng likes to eat such peaches very much. He and the little brother brought by Guan Shao obediently sat on the small stool and tasted the sweet peaches.

    Jiang Rong and Guan Shao were sitting near the bar in the semi-open kitchen chatting, and they could catch the movements of the two children with just a glance.Although it was the second time to chat with Guan Shao, the two chatted easily and happily.

    Jiang Rong held a big peach in his hand and squeezed it gently. During the chat just now, he learned some important news.

    Guan Shao is an employee of a well-known international security group. In layman's terms, he is a mercenary.After learning about his occupation, Jiang Rong also understood how he got his injuries.

    Before the big crisis, Guan Shao was the only one left in his family.The child he gave his life to protect was named Jiang Hao, and Jiang Hao's father was Guan Shao's deputy.

    Before the big crisis, Guan Shao's team went out to perform a mission, but on the way to complete the mission, the deputy team unfortunately died.Before sacrificing, the deputy team entrusted the child to teammates.

    As the team leader, Guan Shao took the initiative to shoulder this responsibility.After returning to China, he found him according to the address given by the deputy team, but he didn't expect to encounter a big crisis, the roads were extremely congested, the flow of people lost contact, and it became extremely difficult to find someone.

    Needless to say, all the difficulties encountered during this period, Guan Shao searched for a long time, and only found him in Jiangjiaqiao Town near Lingshan Reservoir a few days ago.

    "I thought I had already passed the most difficult level when I found the child, but I didn't expect that after seeing the child, I realized that things were not so simple." Guan Shao took a sip of water and said, "The child can't speak, I don't know whyThere is something wrong with the organ or something has stimulated it. When the injury recovers, I will take him to a healer to have a look."

    Jiang Rong nodded in agreement: "There is nothing trivial about the child, the sooner you look at it, the better." If Jiang Hao's situation was put on Xiaoheng, Jiang Rong would go crazy.

    It's just that now it's not as good as before, where can Guan Shao go to find a healer?

    Guan Shao also had plans for this: "I heard that N City in the west has set up a survivor base. I originally wanted to take my children there to see it." As a result, he encountered black rain in the middle, which delayed his trip.

    Humans have been in a panic for a while since the internet and phones were unavailable.However, the power of the masses is great, and it didn't take long for everyone to discover that they could send signals by radio and receive messages by radio or mobile phone.Although there is no way to talk to relatives and friends, but the voice of the outside world can be heard. For people in desperate situations, this is the dawn of hope.

    After the big crisis, Guan Shao could often receive news from various survivor bases on the radio. The impassioned voice on the radio told everyone: Welcome everyone to the base. In the base, everyone can feel the warmth of a big family and live a stable life.Life.

    Hearing the words Survivor Base, Jiang Rong stopped pinching the peaches.

    When Jiang Rong first heard the news about the Survivor Base in his previous life, he was filled with anticipation and joy. He felt that it was a shelter for ordinary people.It wasn't until I went there in person that I realized that there will be no pies in the world.

    From the moment when supernatural beings appeared, some people divided human beings into three, six, and nine classes.Ordinary people became the targets of being squeezed in front of the gate of the base.In his previous life, Jiang Rong mortgaged his car outside the gate of the base in exchange for the right to enter the gate with his father, son and dog.

    He thought he would be able to live a good life after entering the base, and then redeemed his car.But after he actually went in, he realized that the base was just a demonic lair for ordinary people.

    Doing anything in the base requires points. Ordinary people work day and night to get a small amount of points.Those plots say that they can live a good life, even if it is very difficult to maintain food and clothing.

    The survivor's base is not a good place. In his previous life, he and his son were often tortured in it.Therefore, no matter how the treatment and environment are advocated on the radio in this life, he will just laugh it off.

    But Guan Shao is not an ordinary person, he is a supernatural being.If he goes to the base, he should be treated well with his ability.Jiang Rong nodded slightly: "Very good, the base in City N is not far from here. If you go there, you should be able to find a good job."

    Guan Shao chuckled: "I don't intend to stay at the base."

    Jiang Rong froze for a moment, "Huh?"

    Guan Shao said sternly: "I'm just going to find someone with healing abilities to help heal the child, and I don't plan to stay there."

    Jiang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Then you may need to prepare some exchange materials." The supernatural beings are not philanthropists, and it is impossible to ask them to help with things without giving some benefits.

    Guan Shao nodded slightly: "Well, good."

    At this time, the two children finished eating the peaches on the plate, Jiang Xiaoheng walked to the kitchen with the disc in his hand, and Jiang Hao followed Jiang Xiaoheng in a similar manner.Seeing the cute appearance of the two children, Jiang Rong's heart almost melted, "Have you finished eating? Do you want to eat again?"

    After cutting another peach for the two children, Jiang Rong accidentally turned his head and found that Guan Shao was facing him with gloomy eyes.Guan Shao's facial features are three-dimensional, and when he looks at people seriously, he will give people a strong sense of oppression, but as he smiles slightly, the oppression just produced disappears.

    After getting along with Guan Shao for a while, Jiang Rong found that he is a very measured person.

    During Guan Shao's coma, Jiang Rong kept thinking about how he would answer if Guan Shao asked him some questions.For example, why does his house have electricity, why does he build such a strong house in the forest...

    For the questions that Guan Shao might ask, Jiang Rong thought of the corresponding answers.If Guan Shao asks too many questions, he will let him go early.After all, on the wasteland, no one wants to be surrounded by someone who likes to ask questions.

    However, since Guan Shao woke up, he didn't ask any questions.

    In addition, whenever Jiang Rong wants to do something, Guan Shao always rushes to do it well in front of him.

    Jiang Rong found that there were almost no housework that Guan Shao didn't know how to do. Whether it was washing rice and cooking, or wiping the floor and doing laundry, he was very handy.With a little groping, he can skillfully use most of the home appliances at home.

    Of course, there were things he didn't understand.For example, now, Guan Shao is lost in thought in front of the hard-working sweeper. The tall man is sitting on the sofa with slippers in his hand and his face is dignified. Those who don’t know think that the sweeper has offended him.

    After observing for a while, Guan Shao suddenly asked, "Can it clean glass?"

    Jiang Rong shook his head: "No, it only sweeps and mops the floor."

    Hearing this answer, Guan Shao actually smiled with satisfaction, "Very good."

    Jiang Rong scratched her cheek in doubt, this...is a really strange question.

    After getting along with Guan Shao for a long time, Jiang Xiaoheng has gotten used to having an uncle at home.He took out his collection of cartoons and toys for Guan Shao and Jiang Hao to play with, and it was obvious that he liked Uncle Guan and his little brother very much.

    Time passed quickly, and it was the evening when father and son were going out for a walk.Usually at this time, Jiang Rong would take his son to the back mountain or the orchard of Uncle Li's house for a walk, to relax and inspect the surrounding situation at the same time.Now how many things are there near home, the father and son understand clearly.

    It has been raining for the past few days, and Jiang Xiaoheng has been stuck at home. Now that it's time for a walk, he put on the little yellow duck sun hat and sunscreen with anticipation, "Dad, let's take uncle and little brother for a walkBar?"

    Jiang Rong responded and looked at Guan Shao, "Guan Shao, do you want to go out for a breath?"

    This is a kind of temptation, if Guan Shao says he won't go out, he wants to see what Guan Shao will do when he is not at home.If he took the opportunity to pry into the secrets of his house, he would sweep him and Jiang Hao out without hesitation.

    It's not that he is cruel. In his previous life, he saw many people who turned against each other for a little material, so he didn't want to leave hidden dangers.

    As a result, Guan Shao nodded without hesitation: "Okay." But he had a small request: "Is there a kettle at home? I want to bring some water to drink on the road."

    Guan Shao likes to drink water. Before the big crisis, he would drink several pots of water every day.When Jiang Rong met him for the first time, he was holding a water bottle and filling it.It's a pity that he lost his usual water bottle, and it is a bit difficult to find a similar one now.

    Jiang Rong's house had a lot of kettles. In order for Jiang Xiaoheng to drink water well, he bought no less than ten kettles.After opening the cabinet, Guan Shao immediately took a fancy to the glass jug with the largest capacity: "That's all."

    Jiang Rong looked at the glass that could hold one liter of water and wanted to tell Guan Shao that they just walked around and came back, and they wouldn't go too far.

    When the four of them packed up and went out, Jiang Rong's ability had already returned.As soon as she walked into the yard, the little fairy hung on the wall on the west side and greeted herself cheerfully: "Jiang Gong~"

    After a whole day of hard work, the little fairy finally wiped off most of the stains on her body.Its body has returned to green, but some black rain has soaked into the spikes, and the yellow spikes are stained with mottled black, which looks very domineering.

    The huge prickly pear ball suddenly moved, and Guan Shao took a step back in shock to assume a defensive posture, while Jiang Hao even let out an "ah".

    Seeing the two of them like this, Jiang Rong quickly introduced, "Don't be afraid, this is my mutant prickly prickly fairy."

    The little fairy shook the thorns on her body to the people in the courtyard, and then "popped" several bright red flowers bloomed.Seeing the big red flower, Jiang Hao's fear of the cactus dissipated a lot.Seeing Jiang Xiaoheng buried his entire face in the flower, he also slowly raised his hand to touch the soft petals.

    Guan Shao's expression was very delicate. When he left the yard this morning, he found a huge prickly pear plant outside the yard.But seeing that the cactus didn't move, he thought that this guy was just bigger like other mutated plants, so it shouldn't pose any threat to people.

    Never expected that this guy could move.Not only that, but it can even talk.

    Seeing the little fairy rubbing against Jiang Rong with big red flowers, Guan Shao sighed, "This is the first time I have encountered a mutant plant that can talk." It was also the first time I have encountered such a lively mutant plant.

    Jiang Rong laughed and said, "My little fairy is just a head..." Suddenly he froze, "What did you say?"

    Guan Shaona glanced at Jiang Rong in bewilderment, and then repeated what he said just now, "Is there any problem?"

    Hearing the words "There is a problem", the little fairy responded enthusiastically: "Jiang Gong, Jiang Gong ~ there is a problem ~"

    Hearing the little fairy's voice, Jiang Xiaoheng was very happy: "Dad, the little fairy can talk! Dad, did you hear that?"

    Jiang Rong looked at Little Fairy in disbelief. No one could hear Little Fairy's voice except himself.After a black rain, its voice can be heard by ordinary people, and its power has been improved.

    After being rubbed all over with pollen by the little fairy, Jiang Xiaoheng held Le Le with one hand and brother with the other, and walked towards the kudzu trail while singing: "Brother, I'll take you to see the fruit trees at Grandpa Li's house.There are so many trees."

    Jiang Hao followed Jiang Xiaoheng obediently, and nodded slowly after hearing Jiang Xiaoheng's words.

    Behind the two children, Jiang Rong and Guan Shao were walking side by side.There was a ball of lightning flashing between Guan Shao's fingers: "My ability is much stronger, I think it should be the reason for the black rain."

    Jiang Rong also felt the same way. He felt that his abilities were growing rapidly.He had already thought of the reason Guan Shao analyzed.

    Now he is more interested in Guan Shao's ability: "You are a lightning-type ability user? That's not bad."

    There is only one out of 100,000 natural supernatural beings, and their abilities are very powerful compared to ordinary supernatural beings.In his previous life, Jiang Rong had only heard about the existence of lightning-type supernatural beings, but he never expected to see them with his own eyes in this life.

    Guan Shao looked sideways at Jiang Rong and asked curiously, "What's so good?"

    Jiang Rong chuckled and said, "The lightning power is good, and it's a power bank for walking." If there is a lightning power user at home, why install solar panels? Just let the power user generate electricity when there is no electricityup.

    Guan Shao couldn't help laughing, and when he had laughed enough, Jiang Rong heard his low voice: "Then you need electricity in the future, I'll charge it for you."

    It was just a very common sentence, but Jiang Rong's ears became hot, and he turned his head, "Okay."

    Passing through the kudzu trail, there is a small stream with black and gray flowing water in front of you.The black rain in the past few days caused the water level in the creek to soar, and the creek ushered in a short-lived false prosperity.

    Now I can't walk on the river bed, I can only walk on the small bridge across the creek.The so-called small bridge is simply built with a few floor slabs.They had come at such an unfortunate moment that one of the decks had slipped off the pier, narrowing the already narrow deck.

    The two children had obviously never walked across such a narrow bridge without handrails, and they were a little scared standing by the bridge.Jiang Xiaoheng turned his head to look at Jiang Rong aggrievedly: "Father, Qiao has lost weight..."

    Jiang Xiaoheng doesn't have a lot of vocabulary, and sometimes some unexpected words will pop up.Jiang Rong couldn't help laughing: "Don't be afraid, Dad is here to hug you."

    Before Jiang Rong could step forward, Guan Shao stepped forward and grabbed a child with one hand.Jiang Xiaoheng hugged Guan Shao's neck with a cry of surprise, and Jiang Hao on the other side also stretched out his arms to hug him.

    Amidst the exclamation and laughter of the children, the three of them had already crossed the small bridge.Standing on the other side of the bridge, Jiang Rong watched this warm scene, feeling relieved in his heart.

    Guan Shao put the two children on the other side, and he quickly walked back to Jiang Rong and stretched out his hand: "There is moss on the bridge, I will pull you away."

    Jiang Rong stared at Guan Shao's slender fingers, and after a while he smiled: "No, I can cross this bridge with my eyes closed." When he was young, the bridge piers were made of round logs.Chu Qiang and his wife often ran around.

    Seeing Jiang Rong walking ahead calmly, Guan Shao silently glanced at his palm, with a vague look of disappointment in his eyes.

    In the past, there were only the old couple in Uncle Li's orchard, but today there were more than a dozen people in the orchard.This group of people consisted of men and women, old and young. They carried bags or baskets and picked fruits from the trees.

    They did not know how to pick the fruit regardless of whether it was ripe or not. Because of their rough actions, many branches of the fruit trees were broken.The broken branches revealed dark white cracks, too small fruits and leaves fell to the ground, and the whole orchard looked like locusts passing through.

    Seeing such a tragic scene, Jiang Xiaoheng burst into tears.Since returning home, he likes to go to the orchard of Grandpa Li's family with his father the most. Every time he sees the fragrance of melons and fruits, he will be very happy.

    Why did his favorite fruit tree become like this? Big tears rolled down Jiang Xiaoheng's cheeks: "The tree is hurt, woo woo woo..."

    When the child cried, it attracted the attention of the fruit pickers. Their movements were much restrained, and their voices were also much lower: "This is the wood-type supernatural being." "Why is he here?"

    Jiang Rong hugged the sobbing child and walked towards Uncle Li's shack. Under the eaves, Uncle Li was smoking a cigarette with a dark face, and Aunt Li's eyes were swollen like peaches.Sitting next to the old couple was a young couple. The man looked like Uncle Li in a gentle manner, and the woman was pregnant with Liujia and had a belly as big as a drum.

    Seeing Jiang Rong and his son arrive, Uncle Li turned his head sadly and wiped his tears with his bony hands.Aunt Li glanced at Jiang Xiaoheng, who was blushing from crying, and also rolled down the tears.

    At this time, the well-mannered man stood up and greeted Jiang Rong. He stretched out his hand with a smile on his face: "Jiang Rong, long time no see! I'm Li Xiaojun, do you still remember me?"

    The pregnant woman who was sitting didn't have such a good face as Li Xiaojun, she turned Byakugan at Jiang Rong and his son, not wanting to hide her disgust at all.

    Those who didn't know the inside story thought that Li Xiaojun was the leader who came to inspect the work. Jiang Rong ignored Li Xiaojun's outstretched hands and looked at him calmly: "I know."

    Li Xiaojun is Uncle Li's only son, and also the "other people's child" that Chu Qiang hates the most.He got good grades in school, and relied on the money from Uncle Li and Aunt Li to plant fruit trees all the way to school. After graduation, he was admitted to a unit that everyone envied, married a beautiful wife, and lived in a garden house.

    If there is no major crisis, Li Xiaojun will be a winner in life, with a beautiful wife and family in his arms, and his career is in full swing.

    It's a pity that he had bad luck and encountered a big crisis.After the crisis, the proud unit disappeared, and the city could not live without water and electricity.The garden house lost all its advantages over the country houses, so Li Xiaojun took his family back to his hometown.

    People with relatives and friends in the countryside defected to relatives and friends one after another, and those without relatives and friends defected to the past even when opportunities were created.The seven aunts and eight aunts of Li Xiaojun's wife's family did just that, relying on the unconnected relationship, a dozen of them squeezed into Uncle Li's villa.

    The so-called asking God is easier than sending God away, Uncle Li and Aunt Li know this truth very well.They persuaded Li Xiaojun from the beginning, but they couldn't hold back their son Dafang.

    Li Xiaojun said that his family is all mud-legged and grass-roots. He can get to where he is today, thanks to the support of his wife's natal family.

    He said that the dozen or so people didn't come to live and eat for nothing, they brought money and some supplies, and they could eat for a while.Now is the critical moment, and the time has come to test people's hearts.If you don't take good care of these dozens of people, it will chill the hearts of the daughter-in-law's family.After the crisis passed, his family and career were over.

    For the sake of her son, Uncle Li and Aunt Li endured it.During this period of time, the old couple cut down on food and clothing, and those who are reluctant to eat and use will be tight to these people.

    But this is a dozen people after all, and they have to eat and drink as soon as they open their eyes.The refrigerator in Uncle Li's house was soon empty, and the hard-earned supplies were also eaten up.So this group of people set their sights on the fruits in the orchard, and they proposed to visit the orchard a few days ago.

    Uncle Li and Aunt Li didn't know what they were up to. After a few days of refusal, Li Xiaojun had a showdown with the old couple today.These people couldn't live longer in the village, and they were going to the survivor base in N city.

    Anyway, they are all ready to leave, and it is useless to keep these fruit trees.It's better to pick all the fruits and eat them for a while on the way.

    That's why this group of people showed up in the orchard.

    Uncle Li and Aunt Li were powerless to prevent the tragedy from happening, so they could only sit under the eaves and cry.If someone else came to destroy his orchard, he would definitely use a knife to fight him desperately.But the one who destroyed the orchard with his own hands was their son, the only son they were proud of.How does this make them choose?

    Seeing that Jiang Rong didn't reach out his hand, Li Xiaojun withdrew his hand and wiped it on his pants, "I heard from my parents, thank you for your care and dedication to my orchard during this time. That's it, I'm going to take my dadMom, go to the survivor base, after we leave, the orchard will be left to you. You are a wood-type power user, I hope these fruit trees will help you."

    Those who didn't know thought that Jiang Rong had taken advantage of it.

    Jiang Rong kept a stern face and said nothing, when a sharp female voice came from next to his ears: "Oh, I'm so annoying, it's stuffy and hot, okay? Let's go back first?"

    Li Xiaojun turned around and walked quickly to the pregnant woman. He lowered his voice: "Xianxian, if you persist, we haven't packed our things yet."

    Xianxian wiped the sweat from her forehead impatiently. She pointed to the agricultural tools under the eaves of the porch, "There's nothing to clean up here. You don't need to go to the base. Look at these things, they're so dirty!"

    Li Xiaojun hurriedly apologized in a low voice, Xianxian snorted and glanced at Uncle Li and Aunt Li: "If my father didn't know the leader of the base in N city, do you think anyone can go to the base?"
