In City C in September, although the nights are no longer so muggy, the evening breeze blows slowly, and what you feel is still a slightly humid heat wave.
Tang Jing was carrying his luggage and strongly condemned Tang Ran for deceiving him back into a car accident.
Tang Ran listened to Tang Jing's chatter all the way, and felt an indescribable sour feeling in her heart, but she didn't feel disgusted.
After arriving home, Tang Ran silently turned out the diagnosis sheet and threw it to Tang Jing: "I didn't lie to you, your sister really had a car accident."
When Tang Jing saw it, he immediately felt like a duck being pinched by the neck. His eyes flickered back and forth between the diagnosis sheet and Tang Ran's intact right hand, and his expression was as exciting as a face-changing in Sichuan opera.
As soon as Tang Ran saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking, and laughed angrily: "How can I lie to you about this?" Then he raised his hand, saw Tang Jing's frightened look, and touched it lightly. He didn't say much in his head: "Have a good rest today and don't stay up late. My parents will be back tomorrow morning. My sister has something very important to tell you."
After saying that, regardless of Tang Jing's reaction, he turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Poor Tang Jing, seeing his sister suddenly turn into such a gentle person, he couldn't recover for a while. He tremblingly took out his cell phone and sent a message to his parents saying that his sister was not normal and might have a terminal illness. In exchange, he received a lot of scolding and his pocket money was cut in half. The bad news.
Tang Ran returned to the room and sat in a daze for a long time. All of this was really unreal. She was really scared. What if this was just a dream?
Thinking of Tang Jing resolutely getting up to lure the infected away, thinking of the last half slice of bread handed to her by her mother tremblingly, thinking of her father falling at the feet of the thugs, with crystal clear tears sliding down his cheeks.
"It's such a real dream, then you should never wake up." Tang Ran murmured, his eyes filled with broken moonlight. At least she still has a chance to protect her family.
Hearing the collision in the living room, Tang Ran opened his eyes slightly sleepily. At 11:40, he thought his parents should be back.
When he walked out of the living room, he saw a handsome middle-aged man with a resolute face, Tang Ding'an, Tang's father, who was carrying a pile of luggage with Tang Jing.
"Where's Dad, Mom?" Tang Ran looked around the living room and asked doubtfully.
"Your mother went shopping for groceries. She said she would eat hot pot at home today and buy the extra spicy pot base, which is your favorite." Father Tang smiled and asked while packing up: "Why didn't you go to school? What happened? Dad is back, and he will support you."
Tang Ran pursed her lips. The moment she looked at Tang's father, she wanted to cry. Now when she heard her father ask her such a gentle question, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she choked with sobs and called her dad.
Tang's father panicked for a moment. He quickly put down his things, pushed Tang Jing aside, and gently pulled Tang Ran to sit down on the sofa. "Tell dad if you have anything to do. It's not a big deal. Everything can be solved." The solution is to stop crying and become a little cat."
After saying that, he hugged Tang Ran gently and patted Tang Ran's back gently.
At this time, the door opened. Tang's mother saw this scene as soon as she came back. She quickly put down the food in her hand, walked up and pretended to give Tang Jing a hard slap twice, "Okay, brat, I'm bullying your sister again, right? "
Tang Jing suddenly felt aggrieved, twisted his body exaggeratedly, and shouted loudly: "Mom~! I didn't, so you wronged me."
Seeing this scene, Tang Ran burst into tears and laughed. Knowing that he was teasing himself, he pulled the three of them to sit on the sofa, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a knife.
Tang Ran felt that if he directly told them that the apocalypse was coming, he might think that he was suffering from mental illness, so he immediately politely took him to the hospital for a check-up. Only when he really saw it would he believe it.
Tang Ran pulled up a chair and sat in front of the three of them. He was silent for a while and said, "You may not believe what I say next, but I can prove it to you."
As he said that, he slashed his arm with a knife. Hot blood flowed down, and the three of them instantly panicked.
Mother Tang's eyes turned red instantly: "Of course, what are you doing? Are you under too much pressure from studying? Oops, go to the hospital quickly."
Tang's father also took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call, while Tang Jing hurried to get the first aid kit.
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine. Tang Jing, come back soon. Look." Tang Ran pointed at the wound and said, "The bleeding has stopped. It will be fine soon."
"Okay! Sister, are you crazy?" Tang Jing was obviously a little excited. When he looked down, he saw that the wound was already showing signs of scarring. He was so shocked that he didn't even grab the medicine box.
After comforting the three people, Tang Ran told the story of the end of the world from the beginning. It was difficult to understand it, and he saw that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking at his silent parents and younger brother, Tang Ran knew that they couldn't believe it for a moment, so he didn't force them and just sat quietly.
After a while, Tang's mother pulled Tang Ran's smooth arm, and the red mark was particularly conspicuous, "Does it still hurt?"
Tang Ran was stunned, obviously not expecting that Tang's mother's first sentence was to ask her if it hurt, "Mom, if the wound doesn't hurt, it's already healed."
"You can't do this anymore. No matter what, if you want to prove something, you can't hurt yourself like this!"
Listening to Tang's mother's voice, Tang Ran was slightly stunned. In her previous life, her parents and younger brother had left her one after another. It had been a long time since anyone had cared about whether she was in pain or not. There were only endless tasks waiting for her every day and every night.
To her, this was just a small wound that was not worth mentioning, just like a broken skin. But to her parents and younger brother who had never experienced the apocalypse, these wounds of a few centimeters and the blood flowing out were huge. matter.
"Not anymore." Tang Ran said in a low voice. Then he put his arms around Tang Mu's waist and buried his head in Tang Mu's arms like he did when he was a child.
Feeling his mother's embrace, warm body, and gentle reproach, Tang Ran felt a hint of reality.
Only then did Tang Ran realize that she was wrong. The years of the last days had made her a little extreme.
"Dad, Mom, let's go eat. Eating is the most important thing." Tang Ran sniffed, took his parents' hands, and said coquettishly, "I'm starving to death. The three of us are going to eat hot pot without Tang Jing."
"Hahaha, let's go for a walk without Tang Jing." Tang's father and Tang's mother said cooperatively.
"No, take me, take me, I'm starving too." Tang Jing instantly turned into an aggrieved puppy and hurriedly followed.
Listening to the laughter of her family and feeling the excitement in her heart for the first time in a long time, Tang Ran knew that this was her rebirth, her new life. Starting tonight, she would completely get rid of her walking dead self and open up a new future.
