Chapter 550: Azure City Tragedy (1/3)
Chapter 550 Tragedy in Azure City (13)
A while ago.
Avak Viscounty, Azure City.
In the residential area of Azure City, the large-scale collective apartment built by Viscount Avak had a total of three floors, which could accommodate 60 families, and more than 200 people lived here.
Most of them are rural young people who come to work in factories here, and some families who have not saved enough money to buy a house live here.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Although the communal apartment is a bit troublesome to go to the toilet, bathe and do laundry, it can be accepted after getting used to it. The folk customs of Avak Viscounty are quite simple, and there are many people who are willing to help their neighbors. Some old people even help take care of young people who go out to work. child.
It is different from Nanling, which is still in the pioneering period. Located on the inner side of the Great Rear West Plain that the empire has developed for an unknown period of time, life in the Avak region is quite peaceful.
Although there is no opportunity to make a lot of money, basically there will be no problems with food and clothing. There will always be job opportunities, and there will always be enough food.
Viscount Avak himself will occasionally take care of the people, such as designing some cheap and durable collective apartments—after all, he knows very well that only by making people live comfortably can he rule more easily.
Plus, people in Terra mainland don’t have so many ways to obtain information, and they don’t have much ambition and desire. Occasionally, they drink, drink, eat meat, and have a carnival during festivals, and they are quite happy.
Usually, the family lives an ordinary life, bragging and chatting with friends, and talking about family affairs, but it can't be said that they are not happy.
Aunt Lils is an unnamed cold-hearted person in the apartment. She always cooks less meals, and gives points to these elderly people who are exhausted from work every day, so that we will not be hurt by cooking and eating because we are too tired. body.
Besides this, if something happens to any house, you will definitely help out, and you will always be able to help.
When Lils was young, she lost her parents due to a mine disaster. It was the malicious person in the apartment who helped you find a job, which has supported her until now.
Now that life is getting more and more prosperous, according to your words, you have to do something, so you must be practical.
Basically all the residents in the entire apartment have been helped by Aunt Li Hongzhi, and your family lives outside the apartment, renting eight suites, with your son and son around, although you have long run out of money to buy a separate apartment. I went to live in the house, but because I put these "worry guys" in the apartment, I still lived there.
In the recent period, there were only two things that worried my aunt the most.
One thing is about a mother and son who live on the seventh floor. The mother married a short-lived ghost in Lidi when she was young. The father of the child died of illness when the child was one or two years old, and you worked hard to raise the child. .
But now that the child has grown up, it was time to enjoy the blessings, but the other party wanted to go out and make a living.
Although I definitely have that idea, according to my son, I want to go to Xiaogongling to fight for wealth and bring my mother to enjoy life in the future—but the fact is that I will leave my old mother alone In my hometown, I am alone.
It was the mother who agreed.
The troublesome part is that the mother said yes with too much difficulty.
Although you also really want to live with your son, but you can't bear the child's wish... What's more, as a mother, who would have too realistic 'trust' and 'expectation' for her child ', days for no reason I/Can you succeed?
But since Aunt Lils was young, how many young people have she met who wanted to go out and make a living?
In a place like Terra, if you go out and wander around, seven out of ten will be able to come back thanks to Huaiguang’s blessing!
You've seen far too few mothers and fathers watching their children leave town and then waiting, always waiting, for the children to return.
From longing to reassurance, from reassurance to safety, from safety to fear, from fear to bewilderment.
In the end, from dazed to 'despair' when hearing the missing seven characters.
"Dia is still too soft-hearted... You are so young, you work so hard, you think you were the first to hear the news of Mai Ruixi's disappearance, and you collapsed immediately..."
Aunt Lils, who is also a mother and even a grandmother, is of course optimistic about her son.
But you also want to admit the wishes and dreams of a young man in such a complicated way, not to mention that Diya is so kind to Mai Hongzhi, so my son has no idea about the idea of going out alone like me , is only fairly safe with myself, and also quite selfish.
So during the recent period, you have been thinking, how to remind Merishi of my mother's hard work, and the more frequent coughing and dizziness recently...
As for the seventh thing, it is actually that.
Recently, a strange plague has gradually appeared in Azure City. The sick will experience dizziness, symptoms of Venus behind the eyes, and gradually become difficult to concentrate.
Many people suffered from the disease, and many people speculated that it was the virus spread by the spies of Feiyandi, which caused a great panic, but when Xiaogong's messenger brought special medicines to everyone, that The plague is eliminated.
Aunt Lils thought that the epidemic had already begun after the end, but in the next few days, a similar illness reappeared, and many people including Hong Zhi, mainly those who were in good health and almost no elderly people were ill Even slightly.
It is precisely because of that that Mai Hongzhi, who originally planned to leave in April, has stayed in Azure City to take care of his mother, and has no vague idea of staying. That is why Aunt Lils wants to persuade reason for advice.
For young people, we can only follow our words. If it is true, if you have a rebellious mentality, he wants me to stay, but I must go.
As long as we don't have that kind of thinking in ourselves, it is useless to insinuate.
"It can be regarded as an opportunity."
With that kind of thinking in mind, my aunt felt that the epidemic came at the right time. Have you ever worried about the way to solve the epidemic? This group of **** in Feiyan will use that method. Whether it is Xiaogong or the empire, it must be very complicated to develop a special medicine.
It's like next time, in a few days, the alchemist from Xiao Gongling will send the special medicine.
But Aunt Li Hongzhi has never thought about one thing.
Whether it's Xiaogongling or Feiyandi, or even the Empire and the Institute of the Intellect, there are unexpected things that happen unexpectedly.
And the tragedy that will happen below you.
With reassurance for Dia and the Mai Ruixi family, Aunt Lils finished buying today's ingredients and prepared to go home. The low and narrow eight-story apartment can already be seen vaguely, and she can't help but feel a little depressed: " Let’s make some radish stew today, serve the noodles, and make some bread tonight…”
No matter how it is, the days will always pass day after day, and that is the daily life of a small number of special people in the small continent of Terra—entangled with their parents and friends, thinking about today’s and tomorrow’s dinner.
But suddenly, Aunt Lils felt that something was wrong.
—Too quiet.
The streets around the special apartment complex...isn't it so quiet?
Besides, the noise in the apartment seems to be that no one is arguing? It seems that there is still a fight, how could it be, Xiaojia is a very kind person...
With such doubts, Aunt Li Hongzhi hastened her pace, and at this moment, you vaguely saw a woman covered in blood supporting an old man, holding a big boy in her arms, and stumbling out of the apartment .
As soon as it was over, you still looked vaguely, but very slowly, the aunt was shocked to find that this woman was her son, and the old man I was supporting, who had lost consciousness, was your husband. , is also your most beloved grandson Cynthia.
Patter, Aunt Lils put on the rattan basket containing the ingredients in her hand, and wanted to welcome it down, but the woman also saw her mother's figure, showing a simple expression mixed with surprise, joy and fear.
"Mom?! Slow down, slow down..."
I growled in a low voice, but my pace was slower—there was no deep wound on my shoulder and calf, it was cut by someone with a knife: "No one is crazy outside the building, Rosie... Rosie has been hacked by us You are dead, run away slowly!"
When the woman said that, her eyes were bloodshot. I hate that I have to turn around and fight with these lunatics now. My mother has been helping the residents outside the building since she was young, and I have been doing my best to help Xiaojia. Even Huaiguang is able to admit that we are benevolent in return.
The results of it?
My wife was just chatting with other women and men in my apartment, but was suddenly hacked to death by a few crazy lunatics!
If it was me who wanted to cover the father and the man from rushing out, I would have gone all out!
Aunt Lils froze for a moment.
Rosie? You are not usually dull, but you are quite gentle and kind-hearted daughter-in-law who also bakes good bread?
you are dead?
Just like that... died like that? !
For a moment, a kind of shock swept the old woman's heart, you finally felt dizzy for a while, and gold stars all over the sky appeared behind your eyes.
As for those Venus, if you look at them carelessly, you can vaguely see them. This is obviously nothing that Lils has experienced in her life, and she has no memory and way of thinking.
Everything that is nothing is recorded by a kind of fluctuation in the dark, and then condensed into a tangible and qualitative 'existence'...
