I sell Coke in the doomsday

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I didn't have any way to deal with this crazy girl Zi Su. According to my habit, I would just hit her on the head, but thinking of Tongtong's extraordinary strength, I was really afraid that Zi Su would be knocked to death by Tongtong's punch.

So, I simply pretended to be a dead body, gave Tongtong a helpless smile in response, and then said something about watching the fun.

"Zi Su is a good kid, you can talk to her more."

Tongtong looked at me with a rather resentful look, then turned her head away and continued to confront Zisu.

I think that getting along with a chatty person like Zi Su might help Tongtong change a little. Although I don’t know what the result will be, it’s at least worth a try.

After seeing Tongtong being entangled by Zisu, Ajie stepped forward, used his body to gain position, punched me without leaving any trace, then quickly pulled me a few steps to the side and said with a complicated expression.

"No, why did you bring this big guy here?"

"You want to send me off in the New Year, right?"

I rolled my eyes, punched Ajie back without any hesitation, and retorted.

"Just die now. How can I abandon her on New Year's Day?"

Ajie's face turned bitter, and he didn't even dare to look at Tongtong. He could only sigh with a sad face.

"You just think I've lived too long, and you're afraid that I'll have a peaceful life one day."

After a brief greeting, I took one look at the festively decorated shield outpost and couldn’t help but admire it.

"You are really good, you can actually make such a big show."

Hearing this, Ajie instantly became proud. He raised his chin, chuckled, and said to me.

"It's a nice arrangement."

As he spoke, Ajie put his arm around my shoulders, pointed at the red-stained door, and continued.

"You see the red color on this door. It is dyed with the roots of a kind of grass from the mountains. The elders told me that the grass can be used to dye after it is crushed."

"A long time ago, people in the countryside used this grass to dye their nails."

"It just so happens that the mountains in the stronghold are all covered with this kind of grass."

Ajie raised his arm, pointed to the renovated stage, and continued his introduction.

"Isn't this stage beautiful? The two engineers you brought to me are really amazing. They came up with a plan for the changes in just one night."

"Using the least amount of wood and in the shortest amount of time, this platform, which was previously used for executions, was transformed into this."

"besides……"

Ajie pointed excitedly to the fields behind the stage, and saw that the originally barren fields had been neatly tilled, while the earthen hills behind the residential area had been built into terraces that looked like steps.

"These plots of land were created by Sun Zheng and Song Mingtao using the bulldozer you sent."

"When the spring comes and these fields are planted with crops, we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

"And that place... is the house we vacated to be used as a school."

"Over there, is the well we are digging."

Ajie's tone rose as he kept introducing every part of the Shield Outpost to me. He was not showing off, but a good friend was saying something that was worth being happy about.

I was fascinated by what he was saying. I followed Ajie's finger and looked at various places in the stronghold. A warm feeling gradually arose in my heart, and I squinted my eyes unconsciously.

It's all worth it, all the stupidity I've done and all the foolish things I've done are worth it in the end.

Just when I was moved, I suddenly heard the voices of Tongtong and Zisu confronting each other.

"I have known the boss for ten years. Where were you then?"

"I drank his blood."

"Ha, I've even eaten his meat."

No, let's not compare such trivial matters! ?

Chapter 168: Things That Cannot Be Changed (IV)

Tongtong is very smart, but obviously she doesn't know how to argue, so she is no match for the eccentric Zisu. However, that crazy girl Zisu is a sensible person and won't do anything extreme.

So, I pretended that I didn't hear anything and continued to look at the shield stronghold that was changing little by little. But Ajie on the side looked at me with extremely strange eyes and whispered.

"Are you going to pretend you didn't hear it?"

I lowered my voice and said helplessly.

"Otherwise, I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing."

Ajie rolled his eyes and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he let out a sigh and asked softly.

"I secretly built a tombstone for Gao Lian and Li Yi. Do you want to go and see it?"

Hearing this, my eyes flickered, my thoughts were in a tizzy, my mouth moved slightly, I wanted to say something but stopped, I could only smile weakly and said lightly.

"Forget about it during the New Year. Besides, I was the one who killed those two people. It's not appropriate for a murderer like me to appear in front of their graves."

Ajie didn't force me. He lowered his eyebrows and whispered in a voice that only the two of us could hear.

"I don't know what happened, but I remember those two people were very good people."

"I'm not blaming you. In that situation, anyone would have made the same choice as you."

"I... just think that if there is a trace of their souls wandering around, they would probably also hope that friends would go to pay tribute to them."

I remained silent and didn't utter a word, but my brain took the initiative to outline a desolate and lonely mound in my mind.

Yellow earth piled up, white flags waved, and green grass grew between the graves, gradually covering them.

Ajie let out a long breath, lightly kicked the stones at his feet, and sighed.

“When a person dies, everything is gone.”

After a moment's silence, Ajie suddenly laughed bitterly, his eyes full of mockery, and he shook his head while laughing.

"It's New Year's Day, why am I telling you these crap?"

"Come, I will continue with today's arrangements for you and open your eyes."

As he spoke, Ajie pointed to a house in the distance. In that house, smoke was coming out of the long chimney, and there were wisps of white steam coming from the door.

"That's today's big kitchen. Everyone in the base who can cook is there. You're in for a treat today."

Hearing this, I forced a smile and asked Ajie with pretended curiosity.

"Oh, then tell me what delicious food you prepared today."

"Corn porridge, corn noodles, corn candy, popcorn, corn and vegetable stew..."

After Ajie proudly named a long list of dishes, I stood there in a daze, my eyes twitching constantly and looking quite strange.

Ajie obviously noticed this. His face turned red and he coughed pretentiously before explaining to me.

"We want to catch some game, but it's winter now, and there are hardly any living creatures around this base."

"We finally caught a few native sheep, but we haven't started breeding yet. They are still grinding their teeth in the pen."

I was speechless about this statement. The only food grown in the Weidun stronghold right now is corn. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. It is indeed difficult to expect them to prepare a big meal.

However, I believe everything will be fine.

"Ajie, didn't I bring some potatoes? How are they?"

Hearing this, Ajie smiled, shrugged slightly, and spoke softly.

"Very good. Those potatoes have been stored and can be planted in the fields next year. Although the quantity is a little less, there will be more and more in the future."

"By the way, you should bring more of these things in the future."

I spread my hands helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Don't make it difficult for me. That's all the stock I have. I've been eating expired canned food these days."

Boom!

At this moment, a crisp sound was heard amid the noise, and all around suddenly became quiet, with almost everyone looking in the direction where the sound came from.

However, on the stage, two children about eleven or twelve years old were standing on the stage. One of the children was holding a pot lid in one hand and a small hammer in the other, and was hitting it like a gong.

The other child put on a stern face, took a step forward, and read loudly in a serious manner.

"Stories and operas are the way to persuade people."

"Take the center of the three avenues."

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end."

"The right path in life is vicissitudes."

As the words fell, another child knocked on the pot lid in his hand. This familiar scene stunned me. I always felt it was too familiar, but the next thing the child did made me understand why.

The child looked at the people below the stage, frowned, and spoke very seriously.

"As we all know, Teacher Yu has three major hobbies."

The next moment, among the crowd below the stage, many people who were over thirty years old seemed to have some memories evoked, and they shouted in unison in astonishment and surprise.

““Smoking, drinking, and perming your hair.””

Many young people did not understand what this meant and looked at those people curiously, only to see that those people were already smiling with moist eyes, looking like they were crying and laughing at the same time.

Looking at this scene, I looked at Ajie in surprise and puzzled.

"Crosstalk? Do you have any other programs like this?"

Ajie looked up at the two children on the stage, squinted his eyes, and looked somewhat relieved. He nodded and spoke to me.

"Well, I prepared a lot."

"Like I told you a long time ago, I want everyone to remember the life we ​​once had, so as to erase what Qu Yunliu taught them."

"I want to prove that we can live happily without religion or savior."

After hearing this, I suddenly understood, but I still had other questions, so I continued to ask.

"But why choose children?"

Ajie put an arm on my shoulder, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile.

"Many of today's young people were children ten years ago, so their memories of that time may not be that deep."

“So, by getting them involved, you can also get them to enjoy it.”

After hearing this answer, I couldn't help but look at Ajie with admiration. I never thought that Ajie would be such a competent person in charge. You know, when I first met him, he was still a ruthless and vicious guy.

As I thought about this, I couldn't help but say it out loud.

"I never thought that you, a former killer, would be so caring."

Hearing this, Ajie lowered his eyes, his expression became complicated, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"A long time ago, I saw a small skeleton while scavenging for supplies."

"There was a dusty diary next to the skeleton."

"Maybe it was God's will. I originally wouldn't have opened that diary, but that day I suddenly felt like opening it."

"The diary says that a little boy and his mother are hiding in the basement, barely surviving."

"There were a lot of vegetables in the basement, but they didn't have a fire. They just ate the leaves raw."

“As the days passed, the vegetables started to rot and smell bad.”

"One day, the little boy wrote in his diary."

"Mom was sleeping soundly, and he couldn't wake her up no matter what he did."

"For the next few days, the diary was filled with the same words."

"Mom hasn't woken up yet. Mom hasn't woken up yet."

"You may not know that when I opened all the things, I found that there was a big skeleton next to the small skeleton."

"And that small hand bone is holding that big hand bone."

At this point, Ajie looked at me with a complicated expression in his eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

"People are such strange things, you never know."

"One day, in a certain place, I will be suddenly touched by something that I should be used to."
