Chapter 175 Young and old people
Two cars stopped steadily in front of them, the windows slowly lowered, and the people inside smiled and waved to everyone, "Hey! Where did you come from? Are you so lucky that you found our land?"
Zhang Lingzhi looked at the person in front of him blankly, "Brother! Do you still remember me?"
"Huh? What?"
Qiu Qiu looked at the young man lying on the man's back with a dirty face, and couldn't help but frown, "Do we know each other?"
"Do not you remember?"
Zhang Lingzhi said with some disappointment, "Many years ago, my sister took me to see a movie. There was a bad guy who bullied my sister. You worked there and helped me and my sister, and then I treated you to ice cream!"
"Pfft!"
Qiu Qiu suddenly laughed out loud and looked at him with wide eyes, "It's you! Little brother!"
"You remember?"
Zhang Lingzhi nodded repeatedly, "It's me, it's me!"
Xiao Han tilted his head and asked, "What's going on?"
Qiu Qiu explained with a smile, "At that time, I was doing a work-study program and working in a movie theater. He and his sister went to the movies, just like Grandma Liu went to the Grand View Garden and didn't understand anything.
There was a gangster next to me who wanted to bully his sister because he thought they were innocent, so I helped him!This kid was so funny that he used his own money to buy a hundred ice creams and said he wanted to treat me to them! "
"Hahaha, why are you so cute?"
Everyone laughed, Zhang Lingzhi twitched his lips in embarrassment, Qiu Qiu smiled and looked at him, "Where is your sister?"
Everyone who was traveling with the Zhang family and his son froze for a moment because of his words, but Zhang Lingzhi and Zhang Yukun's eyes were filled with tears. The smile on Qiu Qiu's face gradually faded. He knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he apologized quickly. "sorry!"
"No, it's fine!"
Zhang Yukun shook his head, smiled and wiped away his tears, "Brother, you don't know!"
"Ok!"
Qiu Qiu didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod his head. After a moment of silence, he glanced at everyone, "Where are you going?"
"Go find the Pure Land, we are going to find the Pure Land!"
Zhang Lingzhi became excited because of his question, "But I think we found it, brother, look..."
He pointed to the patches of rapeseed flowers and wild vegetable bushes nearby, "The colors of these plants are very beautiful, oh! We just tasted the shepherd's purse, and it tastes very good! Everyone is discussing whether to live here!"
"Yes! This batch of plants has indeed met the standards!"
Qiu Qiu nodded matter-of-factly, "But it's not very safe to live here. This is the boundary between the purified area and the polluted area. The ecological environment is unstable. If you stay here, you will be in danger at any time..."
He glanced at Zhang Lingzhi's left leg. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he noticed that the child's left foot was hanging naturally, without any strength at all. Plus the white-haired man with similar facial features to him, Always protecting it carefully, he knew that Zhang Lingzhi's legs were disabled.
Qiu Qiu felt a little uncomfortable. Although he had only met this child once many years ago, those 100 ice creams made him, a person with a miserable childhood, feel touched and happy for a moment, and it also made him remember a lot. Year.
Thinking about this, he looked at the young man and asked with a smile, "Brother, do you want to go to my brother's base?"
Zhang Lingzhi looked at him with wide eyes. He pushed his body upward slightly and straightened his intact right leg. "Brother, you, you have a base!?"
"uh-huh!"
Qiu Qiu raised his eyebrows, "Not only that, the rapeseed flowers and wild vegetables you see are also planted by me!"
"Really!"
The young man marveled again, then reached out and patted his father's shoulder, tilted his head and looked at him, "Dad, shall we go to my brother's base?"
Zhang Yukun twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Qiu Qiu chuckled, thinking highly of the young man's father, and spoke again.
"Uncle, if you are willing, you can come together.
However, my base has rules. If you are willing to abide by them, you can enter.
But the ugly thing is ahead. If someone dares to cause trouble inside, they will have to pay the price! "
"That's right, little brother!" Zhang Yukun nodded in agreement, and then said excitedly, "I wonder what the situation is like at your base. What do you need to abide by?"
"It's very simple, as long as you absolutely obey Brother Han and I's orders!" Qiu Qiu said seriously, "We have more soldiers in the base, and there are..."
Zhang Yukun and his party listened to Qiu Qiu's story and looked at him in shock. Then they stepped up and looked at Xiao Han, the driver, and other people in the other car, soldiers!And scientists!doctor! ?
Oh my gosh!What kind of awesome person is this that can actually recruit so many talents?
They had previously thought that the base Qiu Qiu was talking about was a small place with hundreds or even thousands of people. But now after listening to his words, everyone could not imagine what kind of place it was?
"How about it! Do you want to come?" Qiu Qiu smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"I want it!" Everyone nodded, "Let's go!"
Qiu Qiu tilted his head, "Then let's go back together after we finish sowing the seeds!"
Zhang Lingzhi asked him curiously, "Brother, what are you going to sow?"
Qiu Qiu pointed at the vegetation not far away, "Hey! Just sow rape flowers, shepherd's purse and red amaranth seeds, and also plant thorn branches! These are plants that can purify pollution sources. What you see now, We have purified it little by little.”
Chen Fang looked at him with admiration in his eyes, "Basic Commander, you have spent a lot of effort on this journey, right?"
"Indeed!" Qiu Qiu exclaimed, "It was really difficult at first, but luckily we persevered!"
He turned to look at everyone seriously, "Let's work together from now on! One day, we will turn the land under our feet into a vibrant green space!"
"Brother! Can I come with you?" Zhang Lingzhi asked him with a trembling voice, his words full of desire, and his left hand inadvertently squeezed the disabled left leg.
A trace of distress flashed in Qiu Qiu's eyes, and he nodded with a smile, "Of course, brother will give you a handful of seeds later, and you can scatter them wherever you want!"
"Thank you brother!"
A smile lit up Zhang Lingzhi's eyes, and Zhang Yukun's eyes turned red. He gratefully nodded to Qiu Qiu and said, "Thank you, base director!"
"You are Welcome!"
Qiu Qiu waved his hand, then opened the car door and jumped down. Xiao Han and the others followed closely and took down all the seeds, thorn branches, farm tools, etc. from the rear compartment.
"Let's all work!" Xiao Han clapped his hands and looked at Zhang Yukun and others who were a little overwhelmed. "This time, you should see how everyone does it first. If you don't understand anything, just ask. Next time, you can talk to me. Let’s go on a mission together!”
He glanced at Zhang Yukun and said, "Uncle, you will continue to be their captain from now on. If you have anything to do, come to me and Qiu Qiu. If we are not around, just come to Han Jie, Xiao Gao, or them!"
As Xiao Han said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Gang's captains in turn.
Han Jie and others nodded to Zhang Yukun and reported their names. Zhang Yukun also quickly introduced his team to everyone, "I am Zhang Yukun, these are my sons, Chen Fang, Li Jiaxing, Guan Dong, Chen Xiaofeng, Zhu Mingming..."
After the two teams introduced each other, they all had a simple impression of each other, and then everyone started working without saying anything more.
Zhang Lingzhi got a handful of seeds, and happily let his father carry him all the way, and he carefully scattered the seeds in the soil.
Chen Fang looked at the child lying on his father's back with adoration. He followed the father and son at a short distance. When he got to the shallow soil, he saw the seeds sowed by the young man on it, so he used his feet to pull him out. All of a sudden, it made the child laugh.
Later, Qiu Qiu asked Zhang Yukun to put the person down, and then handed two thorn branches to Zhang Lingzhi, "Lingzhi, I'll plant this for you yourself!"
"Thank you brother!"
Zhang Lingzhi sat on the ground, smiling with crooked eyebrows. He reached out to take the thorn branch, carefully put it aside, then picked up a small hoe and dug a hole in the ground.
Qiu Qiu smiled and touched his head, "Ling Zhi! This thorn branch is the only creature in the base that has been exposed to acid rain and black rain, and has not died or mutated into a poisonous plant!
Brother, I hope you will be like this thorn in the future, no matter how bad the environment is, you can persevere and grow up happily! "
Zhang Lingzhi's digging movement paused. He released his left hand holding the hoe and gently placed it on his left leg. He squeezed his skinny thigh with a slight trembling. Zhang Yukun wanted to stop him in distress, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't. He retracted his hand and turned away with red eyes.
Chen Fang was also filled with unbearable eyes. He opened his mouth again and again, but in the end he didn't say much. Zhang Lingzhi's shoulders shook slightly for a few times, and small sobs rang in the ears of several people. Their hearts were filled with this 14 The child was in pain and didn't know how to comfort him.
Fortunately, the child stopped crying after a while. He pulled up his sleeves and quickly wiped away his tears. Then he looked up at Qiu Qiu and curled his lips, "Brother! Lingzhi will be strong!"
Qiu Qiu looked at the child's red and swollen eyes, full of determination at this time, and couldn't help but lightly opened her thin lips, "Be good!"
Then he added, "Plant the thorns, and when everyone is done, let's go back!"
"it is good!"
Ling Zhi happily responded and lowered his head to work. Zhang Yukun cried silently and turned his head, looked at Qiu Qiu and said thank you...
Two hours later, everyone got into the car one after another. Ling Zhi once again received special care and sat in the cab to stay with Qiu Qiu, Xiao Han and the others.
Zhang Yukun took the initiative to follow Chen Fang and the others to the trunk. Although Zhang Lingzhi didn't want to leave his father, he didn't rely on Qiu Qiu's care for him to ask his father to stay.
Qiu Qiu was quite satisfied with the self-awareness of the father and son. As for the other people, Chen Fang looked okay, and he didn't feel much about the rest. In fact, according to the way he and Xiao Han worked in the past, they would keep at most half of these people.
But now, their mission of purifying the land has a long way to go. The base is lacking nothing but people, so the two chose to keep these survivors.
The group of people walked and stopped for a long time, and finally arrived at Qiu Han's base while Zhang Lingzhi sighed for the nth time.
Zhang Yukun and his party thought that the scenery along the way was shocking enough, but when they saw the endless defense line of thorns, the tanks at the gate of the base, and the officers holding heavy snipers, they all screamed in surprise.
Ikaruga looked at them as if they had never seen the world, and couldn't help but laugh loudly, "What are you doing now! When we enter the base, I will show you what it means to be truly arrogant!"
As they spoke, the car drove into the base. As Ikaruga said, everyone knew what true arrogance meant.
As far as the eye can see, there are green crops swaying in the wind, sturdy buildings, lakes covered with mutated blue grass in the distance, and vast farms...
Zhang Yukun and others got out of the car, cheering, crying, and running excitedly. Qiu Qiu stood in a row and looked at the new members with a smile. No one had the heart to interrupt them.
Because everyone knows what it feels like to cry with joy, and they also know what it feels like to survive a desperate situation. If these people had not accidentally walked to a purified place, but to a place full of mutated plants elsewhere, they would probably not be able to survive. Didn't Ling Zhi say that? ?
Along the way, the people in their team, one after another, chose to take their own lives out of despair...
Zhang Yukun and his party just settled down. Qiu Qiu decided that the location where these people would live was a kilometer away to the west of the foot of Qiuhan Mountain. Han Jie and others set up tents for them first.
After settling in, Qiu Qiu took Zhang Lingzhi to the medical department and asked Mr. Yan and other experts to look at his legs. After some examinations, everyone expressed regret that if it had been a few years earlier, there would still be resources. When the condition is met, if you perform an operation on him and do a good rehabilitation, the child will have a 90.00% chance of regaining the ability to walk.
But now, even if they put all their efforts together, they can at most give Zhang Lingzhi some feeling in his left leg. It is basically impossible to be able to walk, unless a miracle happens.
Therefore, whether it is treated or not, it actually doesn’t make much sense, because you can’t walk even if you are conscious.
Zhang Lingzhi's eyes gradually dimmed because of their words. He lowered his head silently and spoke softly, "Brother! The doctor is right. You can't walk anyway, so don't treat me!"
Zhang Yukun reached out and hugged his son tightly, biting his lower lip in pain and crying silently. He hated himself for being incompetent and unable to do anything for his child.
Qiu Qiu did not speak, but just meditated silently. In his mind, he repeatedly recalled the little boy back then. He called his brother with a smile and ran towards him. His lively and cute look warmed him for a long time.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mr. Yan again, "Please and everyone try to help him as much as possible, even if he is only conscious. If he needs any medicine, I will go to the mountains to find it, okay?"
"You said that, what else can we do!?"
Yan Lao laughed helplessly, Qiu Qiu also nodded in agreement, then looked at the child leaning on Zhang Yukun's arms, chuckled and coaxed, "Ling Zhi, let's try, even if you are conscious, it will be good, right?"
Zhang Lingzhi looked up at him, his eye circles turning red, "Thank you, brother!"
Qiu Qiu reached out and touched his head, "You're welcome! You have to cooperate with the doctor. No matter what the result is, at least we tried it, right?"
"Ok!"
Zhang Lingzhi smiled and nodded heavily, and Zhang Yukun even thanked him excitedly, "Basic Director, thank you, thank you!"
Qiu Qiu waved his hand, "You're welcome!"
