Longyang is a happy man, he has always thought so.
His wife was his childhood sweetheart. After decades of long-distance love, he finally got married and successfully obtained a marriage license.
With the blessings of relatives and friends, the two hugged each other and kissed each other. At that moment, Longyang was happy.
After getting married, the two lived a life of being neither shy nor impatient, only envious of mandarin ducks but not immortals, and soon had a lovely baby.
During the period after the baby was born, the new young parents were indeed exhausted.
But fortunately, as the days go by, those previously seemingly complicated and unusual methods of raising a baby have become more familiar with practice. After a period of confusion, the young couple's life has once again returned to its former sweetness.
Longyang also happened to be appreciated by his leaders during that time, and his position was promoted and his salary was increased.
At that moment, Longyang was happy with both family and career success.
One day at work, while squeezing the bus, I accidentally gave up my seat to an old but fashionable old man. Before getting off the bus, the old man took out a stack of lottery tickets from his pocket and insisted on letting this young and kind-hearted man take the bus. People draw one, humorously saying it is as a thank you gift for giving up their seat.
Longyang was in a hurry to go to work, so he didn't insist on anything. He randomly picked one and put it in his briefcase and rushed to the company.
That night, Long Yang's wife suddenly became interested in lottery tickets for some reason, and coquettishly asked Long Yang to go downstairs to buy one. Only then did he remember that there seemed to be a fashionable old lottery ticket in his briefcase. The uncle gave the lottery ticket, so he took it out and handed it to his wife.
Next, a very dramatic scene happened.
Longyang's wife held the lottery ticket in her hand and compared the lottery numbers on the TV one by one. Suddenly she let out a scream of surprise.
This startled Longyang who was washing the dishes. He thought his wife had seen a cockroach or something, so he rushed out of the kitchen and started looking around.
But the cockroach's shadow was not noticed, but he found his wife on the sofa, grinning from ear to ear.
"I won! I actually hit Longyang! I won 50 million! Hahahaha..."
Longyang felt like he was in a dream. It wasn't until he went to the bank with his wife and clearly saw the extra numbers on his account that he woke up.
At that moment, Longyang was happy.
But after acquiring this huge wealth, the young couple did not spend it wantonly.
After some discussion, the two kept half of the winnings and donated the remaining money to Hope Primary School. I heard that this money, together with the charity of an anchor called PDD, built several buildings in the mountainous area. The beautiful school directly solves the problem of local children having difficulty in going to school.
At that moment, Longyang was happy.
With some spare money in hand, Longyang, who usually has a wide range of hobbies, began to think about how to realize his dream.
In the end, among many wishes, Longyang chose to build a new aquarium at home and raise some marine life.
Perhaps due to curiosity, Longyang chose a beautiful and deadly mollusc among many strange marine creatures - the blue-ringed octopus.
Originally, this kind of dangerous marine animal should not be exposed to novice farmers like Long Yang, but the seller was probably moved by the money and accidentally sold it to this young man.
The conditions for raising blue-ringed octopuses are very harsh, but fortunately, Longyang had the "money ability" at this time. After several failures, he gradually became comfortable with raising this beautiful creature.
At that moment, Longyang was happy.
After that, the happy little days that belonged to Longyang continued leisurely until I got up that day.
That day, Longyang was woken up by a scream, accompanied by noisy voices and the sound of people trampling on each other.
Long Yang looked out the window in a daze, and was surprised to find that the passers-by on the street seemed to be going crazy, biting and eating each other.
In panic, he immediately dialed the emergency number in his hand, but only busy signals came over the phone over and over again, and he couldn't get through at all.
He immediately turned on the Internet and TV, searched for relevant content in the news, and quickly got a general idea.
It turned out that there was a riot, and a severe infectious disease seemed to have broken out.
In order to respond to the government's call, ordinary people should stay at home as much as possible, reduce going out, and wait for government rescue.
At this time, Long Yang looked at his wife and children beside him, and felt a little happy in his heart.
"Fortunately, my wife and children are fine. I just bought food yesterday, so it's okay to stay at home for a while."
At this moment, Longyang is still happy.
No matter what earth-shaking changes happened outside, he had absolute trust in the government, and his mentality remained positive and optimistic after the disaster.
But changes seem to be happening quietly.
The first thing to change was the blue-ringed octopus in the fish tank.
Since blue-ringed octopus has relatively high requirements for water quality, Longyang adds sea salt to fresh tap water every day to supply it to the fish tanks.
But somehow, the tank full of blue-ringed octopuses died day by day, until finally, only one was left in the tank.
And the remaining blue-ringed octopus actually grew to the size of a watermelon.
You must know that the largest blue-ringed octopus is no more than the size of an adult's fist. It is a naturally small octopus.
Although Long Yang was confused, he had watched the octopus grow up, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just thought it was because the octopus had no food from its companions and was well-nourished, so it had grown so big.
At this time, he had more headaches to deal with.
His child is sick.
High fever, 38 degrees Celsius.
Longyang was so anxious that he wanted to take his child out to see a doctor several times, but when he saw the 'lunatics' wandering on the street, he withdrew his hand to open the door. He could only use home-made methods to cool down the child's temperature at home, praying that the fever would be relieved soon.
During this period, Longyang changed the water for the blue-ringed octopus again. For some reason, the blue-ringed octopus in the fish tank always stared at him with its weird eyes. Before he changed the water, he also spit some blue water into the tank. Sexy things.
Long Yang, who was tortured by the child's high fever, naturally didn't pay much attention to it. After hastily changing the water, he went to bed.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
Long Yang was surprised to find that his child's forehead was cool and there was no sign of fever at all. He was also very energetic and could run back and forth in the living room like a playful puppy.
The only strange thing was that the child's eyes seemed to have changed when he looked at him, which made him feel inexplicably familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
There were water stains all over the living room floor, and the blue-ringed octopus in the tank was floating on the water, motionless.
"This last one is dead after all."
Long Yang lamented in his heart, put on rubber gloves, and took the body out of the fish tank.
"Heh, it's quite heavy. It's almost as heavy as a child."
Weighing the octopus carcass in his hand, Longyang muttered to himself.
Although the octopus died, his child recovered, which is a good thing after all.
While thinking about it, Longyang threw the body into a plastic bag, tied the holes and put it aside.
At this moment, he is happy...
Life was difficult, and food was dwindling day by day. In order to survive until the rescue arrived, the Longyang family of three adopted a plan to reduce physical exertion, that is, lying down and resting except for eating. This way, they would not feel uncomfortable even if they only eat one meal a day. hunger.
Naturally, most of the food every day is given priority to satisfy Longyang's children. After all, in his heart, the children cannot go hungry while they are still growing.
"My wife and I are both adults. Isn't it said in the book that a person can survive at least ten days without eating? We eat less and leave more for the children."
Longyang thought so in his heart and closed his eyes tiredly.
His wife was lying next to him, motionless.
"I've wronged you, my wife. When this epidemic is over, I will take you out to eat hot pot."
Whispering in his mouth, Long Yang gently put his arm on his wife. His wife seemed to feel it, her body trembled slightly, and then she stopped moving.
At this moment, he is happy...
Long Yang slept for an unknown amount of time. When he woke up again, he found that the surroundings were pitch black without a trace of light. What woke him up was a faint knock on the door. Someone seemed to be shouting something outside the door. It's a rescue team or something...
"Are you here to save us?"
After struggling to get up from the bed, Long Yang moved towards the door.
"Is it night now? Why is it so dark around here, with no light at all..."
Longyang thought in his heart, but his movements did not stop, and he came to the door with ease.
"We are from the rescue team, here to rescue you. We have plenty of food and water there. Please open the door!"
The sound of shouting came from outside the door again. The sound was far away and now closer, like a whale sinking at the bottom of the water struggling to communicate with the seabirds in the sky.
Long Yang groped around the wall for a while, trying to turn on the light to let some light into the room, but the switch didn't respond to his flipping.
"It seems there is a power outage..."
Thinking frustratedly in his heart, Long Yang quickly replied.
"Ah, that's it, great, I'll open the door right now. My wife and children have been hungry for a long time, and finally the rescue team is here!"
As he spoke, he touched the handle of the door to open it.
But everything around him was slippery, like the wet feeling during the rainy season. After groping for a while, he finally touched the door handle and pulled it down with all his strength.
"Great...I've finally waited for you..."
Dazzling white light shone in from the crack in the door, making Long Yang unable to open his eyes. Although he didn't know what the situation was now, what he was sure of was that his wife and children would be saved, and the government had not forgotten them!
At this moment, he is happy...
"Why is this door so heavy?"
Long Yang closed his eyes and thought strangely.
"Oh, look at how stupid I am. I've been hungry for so long, and I'm so weak that I can't even push a door open. Haha, luckily I'm saved, I'm saved..."
Laughing at himself in his heart, Long Yang pressed his body against the door and pushed out with all his strength.
"You...are finally here..."
As if he was afraid that the rescuers outside the door would be impatient, Long Yang spoke again. At the same time, he felt the weight of the door more and more. He had obviously put all his body weight on the door, so why couldn't he push it open?
"Maybe it's because I've been really hungry for too long."
Long Yang felt that not only his body, but also his mind was gradually moving away, drifting into the endless darkness.
Suddenly, a good idea occurred to him.
If he is so weak and cannot push the door open, then he can ask someone outside to open it!
Just like that, Long Yang gathered his strength into his chest again and squirmed his lips.
"You... come in quickly..."
