Zheng Weili didn't expect that there was a hidden story behind her parents' death. They didn't have heat stroke at all, but were starved to death.
They were caught and beaten one by one.
The child was frightened and vomited everything in a hurry.
Zheng's father and mother had land and stored food at home. Although the natural disaster caused the two sons to bring their families back to rely on their parents, as long as they were thrifty, they could still live.
But no one expected that the natural disaster would last so long.
At first, the family was still harmonious, but gradually selfishness arose.
The eldest brother felt that the second brother's family ate too much, and the second brother felt that the eldest brother secretly kept warm clothes.
In the end, they all emptied their parents' coffins. They
had to separate, but they acted out their best performances, completely draining their parents, and felt that they were being wronged, and that their parents were selfish and didn't treat each other equally.
The two brothers who were guarding the food bags refused to give in, and let their parents starve to death.
But they still had some dignity, knowing that their parents died in an undignified way, so they found other excuses.
Zheng Weili, who knew the truth, went crazy, and immediately rushed to her brother and sister-in-law's house and beat the beasts half to death.
If the soldiers who were maintaining order hadn't arrived in time, someone would have died.
Due to the pushing and shoving, coupled with emotional excitement, Zheng Weili had a miscarriage, and the heavy bleeding could not be stopped.
Fortunately, there was a doctor at the base, and her life was saved, but due to the lack of medicine, she could not be treated in time, resulting in repeated infections, and her iron body completely collapsed.
What's more troublesome is that Zheng Weili was kicked out of the base because of her bad fighting nature.
In desperation, the three had to return to Fengcheng to make a living.
It was after the earthquake, and the Jinrong community had already collapsed. There was no trace of the past.
In order to survive, they had to go back to their old job.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh. They left with hope, but came back with scars all over their bodies.
Lu Yu still had to patrol and couldn't stay in the car for too long.
He smiled bitterly and got out of the car and left.
After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "I forgot to tell you that Zhang Chao has found a partner."
Jiang Ning was stunned, "Auntie?"
"We were out scavenging, and he saved a sister. To repay him, the sister invited us to dinner, but she got drunk and slept with Zhang Chao."
The sister felt okay, so she slept with Zhang Chao a few more times, and then the two of them were together.
"The sister is three years older than him, and she is capable. She used to lead a team, but later the team became bigger and had all kinds of people, so she became a lone wolf."
I guess the lone wolf got tired of it, so she started sleeping with men.
"We've been together for more than half a year, but the sister just won't make any promises. No one knows how long we can sleep together."
Lu Yu gave the address and said that he could come and sit when he was free.
Looking at the receding back, Jiang Ning sat in the car for a long time, and then drove home.
As soon as the car stopped, Gouzi jumped out and anxiously grabbed her.
Huo Yishen went downstairs, "It's so late, did you encounter any trouble?"
"No, I sent Teacher Ma back to Yuecheng."
Jiang Ning thought for a while, "I met Lu Yu on the way back."
Lu Yu? Huo Yishen was a little surprised. Shouldn't he be happy to meet her? It seemed that she was worried instead.
"What happened to them?"
Jiang Ning sat on the sofa and told her everything.
Huo Yishen looked indifferent, "Under the natural disaster, almost every grassroots family will experience it. Even if Zheng Weili's parents are not dead, they will have to go through this sooner or later."
Parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews, not everyone can stand the test in the end times.
"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world." Huo Yishen held her hand, "Everyone has his own way to go, we just need to take care of ourselves."
Jiang Ning thought so too.
After the joy of meeting, complexity followed.
If it were in the past, she might have visited Zheng Weili as soon as possible.
But she didn't, and even began to think about when to see her and what to say when they met.
In two years, not only Lu Yu has changed, but Zheng Weili has suffered both mental and physical torture.
Is she still the optimistic and positive girl who loves to laugh without considering gains and losses?
Jiang Ning even worried that her appearance would cause a strong contrast and make her feel uncomfortable?
Even though it's only two years, for some people it's longer than a lifetime.
On the 18th floor, everyone started from the same point, and their mental journey was far less complicated than it is now.
After turning off the lights and going to bed at night, Jiang Ning discussed with Huo Yishen, "I want to go see Zheng Weili tomorrow, do you want to go with me?"
"Where do they live?"
Jiang Ning told the address given by Lu Yu.
Huo Yishen thought for a while, "That place is a mixed bag, and all the people living there are survivors from the bottom of the society. It's no different from a slum."
After moving to the new city for a few months, Jiang Ning still has some understanding of the surroundings. That area is close to the edge of the city, and because the rent is relatively cheap, the living environment is indeed much worse.
"I'll go with you, but I won't go up."
First, they were just partners before, and they didn't have a deep personal relationship; second, he was not good at speaking, and with him around, Zheng Weili might not be willing to open up to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning thought about it and said, "I can go by myself, you stay at home to take care of Doudou and Keke."
"It's too far, it's not safe for you to walk."
The next day, Jiang Ning chose some herbs, houttuynia cordata, motherwort, aloe, money grass, and mugwort, all of which can treat various gynecological diseases after abortion.
She didn't take expensive ones, all of which were fast-growing herbs, and she would make plans after finding out the situation.
Building 50 has a bad reputation, and no one dares to provoke it recently. If they see it on the way, they will take a detour.
Huo Yishen took the two and drove a Hummer to take Jiang Ning to Changming Street in the south of the city.
There was garbage and sewage everywhere, and there were children running around naked under the building.
As soon as the car stopped, many eyes looked over.
Jiang Ning deliberately wore half-new clothes, but still felt unsafe after getting off the car. "Come pick me up in an hour."
He took out a butcher knife from his bag and stepped into the cramped and narrow building.
The subdivided flat was very crowded, and the corridors and stairs were filled with all kinds of broken goods. People had to walk sideways, and the smell was everywhere.
In this way, there were many pairs of eyes in each building, all of them were old, weak or children, with tattered clothes and cloudy eyes.
Endless gloom, the chill rose from the soles of the feet.
Jiang Ning carefully went to the 5th floor and knocked on the door for a long time. A hoarse voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
Jiang Ning was stunned for a long time, "Wei Li?"
After a while, the door opened, revealing a tired and thin face.
Jiang Ning thought he had found the wrong room number, but it turned out to be Zheng Wei Li.
This was not Zheng Wei Li at all. Her face was withered and yellowed, and she even coughed so hard that she couldn't stand steadily.
Zheng Wei Li, who was once the national college student Sanda champion, could knock a man away with one punch and kill a wild boar with her two fists, how could she be as thin as a skeleton now.
The thighs that were thicker than Lu Yu's waist were gone.
The clothes on her body looked empty.
Zheng Weili was surprised, "Aning?"
