Plague Doctor

"Hey, Uncle Quan? I’m Peng Bin. Yes, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I’ve been busy before and I didn’t have time to go back and see you... Well, um, first listen to me. Our family wants to move back to the village. Staying for a period of time, yes, our whole family will go back, my mother, my wife, children, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law..."

Guo Pengbin was pacing in his living room, talking on the phone with his mobile phone, but the worry on his face did not show in his tone.

Also in this unit, his wife Yu Qi is busy packing her luggage, and the three elderly people are also helping.

The six-year-old son and the three-year-old daughter ran around happily, not clear about the current situation.

The TV has been turned off, and even if the TV is turned on, there is no detailed report about what happened in New York on the other side of the ocean, but Guo Pengbin has learned from the Internet that it is true that New York was destroyed by the "Life Will League", and the city has 8 million. People die and those who are caught are taken away.

Guo Pengbin is not a native of Dongzhou, and his hometown is a remote and impoverished village quite some distance from this big city.

Since he came out of school, worked in Dongzhou, and settled down to buy a home, his father died of cancer and took his mother out. He also transferred the acres of land and two yellow mud tiles left by his father to his uncles. Guo Pengbin has already I haven't gone back to that small village for several years. The last time I went back was because of the Qingming Festival.

He thought that he would work in Dongzhou until he retire. At that time, his two children had grown up and had a family. He could enjoy his old age with his wife...

"Uncle Quan, it’s not staying for a few days, it’s not a vacation... It’s moving back to live, I don’t know, it may be possible in a year or two... My job? No, the company closed down, yes... I still have Some deposits, I plan to go back and rest for a while and do field work with you..."

Guo Pengbin said this, with a bitter taste in his mouth. The job was lost, but there was no such thing as compensation. It seemed that there would be no wages owed.In this world, it is difficult to find another job right away, but another bigger question is, is it still safe here in Dongzhou?

Is such a big city still safe?

Who knows where those alien monsters will attack next?

Take a look at the current situation in New York, and during the previous "Ten Plagues in Egypt", the places where disasters broke out in the world were all cities, and many of them were big cities. Let’s take a look at the East State, where disasters have continued over the past few years. Now I can't stay any longer.

Guo Pengbin can't control what others plan, but he now has only one mind to take his relatives back to his hometown of Hewei Village for refuge.

Hewei Village is far away from the urban area. Over the years, the young people have been outflowing, and now there are probably only a population of less than a hundred people left, and they are all old people living in a yellow mud house that has been in disrepair and some old cattle , Lao Don, and Lao Ma cultivated large tracts of fields.Once they are too old to farm anymore, those fields will wither and Hewei Village will officially die out.

But now, the situation is different...

However, Guo Pengbin must first ask one thing: "Uncle Quan, have there been any weird things in the village lately? Weird people? Have you read the news, it's the kind of strange disease? Has a doctor been to the village?" Very tight, for fear of hearing any ominous news, and even the way home will be cut off.

"No, I haven't heard of..." Uncle Quan's puzzled voice came from the phone, "What's the strange disease?"

Guo Pengbin breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hewei Village has access to water and electricity, the elderly basically do not have access to the Internet, and the chance of someone visiting that website is very small.He was still a little worried, but now he can only go back and take a look.

He knew that the only people with his own thoughts and actions could not be their family, especially now that there is a tide of unemployment, many people stay in the city and can't get a bite of food, why not leave?News of New York is spreading wildly. According to past experience, traffic control will definitely come down soon.

At that time, you may not be able to go if you want to.

"Uncle Quan, let's talk about it when we go back. That's it for the first time. We drive back by ourselves, and we will leave later. It should be early in the morning."

After nearly ten hours of driving, apart from refueling, he was ready to drive back all the way.Maybe only by stepping on the land of that quiet village again will he feel the slightest sense of security again, instead of being frightened every time and every minute like he is now.

"I've talked to Uncle Quan." Guo Pengbin hung up the call and said to others, but as soon as he saw his wife, mother and mother-in-law still slowly packing up like this, he couldn't help but anxiously said: "Oh, you really are , Just take some important things, don’t take everything, just leave."

He was talking and looking outside the balcony. The strange howling of delirium in patients with abnormal diseases had been heard before.

I really have to hurry to leave, stay here for a minute, it will be a minute more dangerous.

"There is nothing in the village, and it takes a long time to go out to the city..." My mother was still chatty, and she didn't know the acuteness right now.

"Go!" Guo Pengbin said loudly, almost furious: "If you don't go, you can't go."

"It's okay, what are you doing so loudly." His wife Yu Qi stopped with a bit of dissatisfaction, and asked the two old men to listen to him. They went to hug the little daughter and drag the eldest son by themselves. They were all because of their father. Furious and frightened.

Guo Pengbin sighed, went to grab the suitcase and close it silently, and asked the old man to carry the suitcases together.

His parents-in-law grew up in the city and haven't lived in such remote rural areas. Fortunately, they understand things and don't dislike procrastination; he and his wife are both only children, and the whole family is here.

Not long after, they finally went out. When they took the elevator downstairs, they met another family who was carrying a large bag and it seemed to be moving away.

The two families don't know each other, but Guo Pengbin and a mature man in the family look at each other. If there is a tacit understanding, I wish everyone good luck.

Going downstairs to the parking lot outside, and heading straight to his car. The adults, such as Guo Pengbin and Yu Qi, put their luggage in the rear compartment and carried the children in the car. When the whole family got in the car, Guo Pengbin couldn't help but be glad that he had a foresight. I bought a seven-seater MPV.

"Have you fastened your seat belt? Sit firmly." Guo Pengbin called, drove the car out of the parking lot and drove out of the community, "Mom, you haven't fastened your seat belt yet! Hurry up." He noticed. On the road ahead, one side is also paying attention to the situation in the car behind.

The grown-ups looked dignified, but the two children were chirping with excitement. They were about to play with a few elders, and they looked forward to this journey.

As expected, the traffic was very congested. Guo Pengbin was heading for the expressway outside the city, but he was constantly blocked by traffic jams and traffic lights.

He looked at the long red light and quietly took a deep breath, trying to ease the anxiety in his heart.

Hurry up, hurry up...

Leave the city, leave these high-rise buildings, leave the dangers, go back to the remote villages, and go to places where the whole family can be safe...
