A.D. 2039, June 25, the 24th year of the last century, 9 a.m. us time.
One hundred kilometers south of Houston, on the coast of Galveston, there is a small town called bravecity, which means the city of the brave.
The so-called city is not worthy of its name. Bravecity is so small that it is not even a small town. It's only about 200 meters long and wide, with five families and 48 people.
These people chose to stay away from the big city in the end of their lives, and they have lived together in a quiet place by the sea for nine years.
Because of the small population, there are only 12 double decker wooden houses in the small town. The people living in these houses belong to five families.
In a courtyard on the south side of the town, before the double decker house, an oriental woman in her forties was washing her clothes in a large wooden basin.
She dressed casually, barefoot, with black underpants on her legs and a Purple Bra on her upper body.
Although she is old, her figure is still very curvy, without a trace of fat, and her skin is delicate and white. She looks like she is only 30 years old.
After washing all the clothes, the woman walked back and forth on the soft beach and hung them on the clothesline in the courtyard one by one.
At this time, outside the half meter high palisade courtyard, a 20-year-old Oriental man, with a 12-year-old girl, pushed open the gate and came in.
"Mama, look, alotofish! How wonderful
The little girl ran to the woman and turned to show her mother the fish in the basket.
The woman pulled the little girl into her arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then she helped her take down the basket she was carrying behind her. There were a lot of fish in it.
"Annie is so capable! What a good daughter for mom
"No, it's actually dad who caught it. I just helped him a little bit!"
The woman lovingly touched her daughter's head, then looked at the handsome man behind her and sighed:
"look at your daughter, what you said is not right!
A lot of fish don't say a lot of fish, but she says "alotofish". It's mixed in Chinese and English. How can outsiders understand it? "
The man smiles, steps forward and hugs the woman, then kisses her deeply on the lips.
In front of her daughter's face and her husband intimate, some women do not adapt, embarrassed to push the man away, after the expression on the face of some resentment.
"Jess, why on earth do you think this is? For more than 20 years, you are not old at all, but I have become an old woman! "
Knowing his wife's heart trouble, Jess said with a smile:
"who said you were an old woman? Look at your face, there are no wrinkles, at most now you can only be regarded as a mature. Female, you know, I like mature. Female, I prefer your implicit madness in bed! "
Jess's wife, Liu Tian, turned red. She took a look at her daughter, who was counting fish on one side, and gently pushed Jess. Then she said, "my daughter is still there. What are you talking about?"
Jess laughed and said, "honey, this is America in the last days! 2039! Our daughter is already 13 years old this year. She can even find a little boy friend, so there is no need to hide from her and let her know more. Only when she experiences it herself can she cope with it calmly! Your mother is too conservative, so it's up to me as a father to educate her. "
Little Annie turned her lips disdainfully, didn't go to see her parents, and continued to count the fish, as if she didn't hear what they were saying at all...
Jess came back from fishing, and Liu Tian also finished the housework. The husband and wife asked her daughter Annie to make a basin to raise the fish, while they went to the kitchen together and began to prepare dinner.
"Don't take Annie with you when you go out to sea. What if you meet a mutant sea animal?" Liu Tian is cutting tomatoes and chatting with Jess.
Jess is cleaning up the sea fish at this time.
"Don't worry. After living here for so long, I've never found that there are too dangerous mutants in the nearby sea."
"I've really lived here for a long time... Should we be in the United States in 2020? In the twinkling of an eye, nineteen years have passed! "
"Ah... Yes, in order to find Benita, you and I had a hard time coming to the United States and settling down... Dear, thank you."
Jess stopped his work and stood up. He wanted to hug his wife, but there was a lot of fishy smell in his hand. So he just lowered his head and gave Liu Tian a kiss on the cheek.
Liu Tian habitually raised her head and responded to Jess. Her daughter is not around. She is very generous and doesn't mind kissing her beloved man in the kitchen.
After that, they separated and went on with their own business.
"At the beginning, I was reluctant to come to the United States with you to find your ex-wife, but I can't bear to see that you are depressed every day in dark city. After so many years of not finding Benita, I feel empty in my heart! In the end, it's the end of the world. If it wasn't for the end of the world, the relatives would not be separated, and you and I would not have met. With this couple's fate... ""Honey, you have to believe that I love you! I love you very much. I also believe that Benita should still be alive, but now I don't know where she is... In the early years, we went to many places and heard the story of a Chinese man looking for Weng LAN. I believe that the man is Qin An. At that time, I wanted to go with him, but he didn't take me with him. Ah, it seems like yesterday. "
"You always talk about Qin An these years. If I'm not your wife, I'll think that you may like men and Qin An. We didn't seem to have been together for long, did we? Why can't you forget him? "
"Because I always regard him as my friend, I like his Chinese poetry very much! I think it's a very beautiful form of artistic expression. "
Liu Tian's face turned red when she heard that Jesse suddenly talked about Chinese poetry, and then she stopped talking.
Jess cleaned the fish in his hand, then raised his head in a daze, and suddenly said:
"I'm a fish in the sea,
it's naughty to drink sea water!
The woman surnamed Liu is my wife,
sweet life watermelon skin...
Oh, God, it's so hard! We should not only pursue the artistic conception of horizontal poetry, but also make the first word of each sentence connect to form a sentence, and make the last word rhyme, and the whole poem needs to be coherent and complete! Oh, my God, it's so hard to hide poems! Damn Qin'an, he promised to teach me! "
Liu Tian couldn't stand it any longer. Her face turned red and she burst out laughing.
Every time my husband mentions Qin An, he always has to write a Tibetan poem. However, his poem is just like a joke. Liu Tian can laugh every time he hears it.
"Honey, please! Although you have an oriental face, and your Chinese level is as pure as fire, you are an American after all. You grew up in the United States! So, don't spoil our Chinese poetry, OK? Ha ha... Watermelon skin? How funny
Jess doesn't mind his wife's ridicule. He knows his level.
"I did it for rhyme, that's why I did it!"
"But you didn't overpower the rhyme! It's really a misnomer. Donkey's lips are not right for horse's mouth! "
"God! I'm really sad that my wife should satirize me like this. What's my life
Jess a face of depression, Liu Tian has been squatting on the ground with a smile, covering his stomach, the kitchen atmosphere is harmonious, a happy.
Just then, in the living room outside the kitchen, a black man in his thirties rushed in. He looked flustered and began to shout in English: "mayor, where are you? Something's wrong
At the same time, Jess and Liu Tian are slightly stunned. They look at each other. Then they put down their work and quickly walk out of the kitchen to the living room.
"Falk, what's the matter? Don't worry. Speak slowly!" Jess said.
The black man named Falk gasped and took a sip of the water Liu Tian handed him.
"Mayor Jess, today I took some brothers to weed the fields two kilometers south. Just now, we met a woman! She is full of blood, lost one side of the arm, and finally fainted in the field! We've brought her back to our town. My father scolded me severely, saying that it might bring us trouble. What do you think we should do? Oh, yes! The broken flesh of that woman's broken arm will keep wriggling. My father said that she is likely to be a psionic, but she is too badly injured to repair her broken arm quickly! "
Jess's face became gloomy. Did he save a woman who was seriously injured? Or could it be a psionic?
More than 20 years after the end of the world, for people who live in any place for a long time, foreigners are still dangerous!
Not daring to delay, Jess turned to Liu Tian and said, "honey, I need you to go out and call Annie to your side. I want to go to Falke's house to see the situation!"
Liu Tian quickly said in Chinese: "I'll protect Annie. When I pack up, I'll go there too! You remember to ask people to guard nearby. If she is really a mutant, which is what you call a psionic, then I think the person who hurt her should also be a mutant! The gangs in Houston are not easy to be provoked. You must find out her identity. Maybe she is a member of the gangs. If so, it will be troublesome! Those people can do anything. They won't be grateful for someone else's saving their lives! "
Jess nodded. Of course he knew the evil of the gang.
In recent years, if Houston had not been occupied by gangs, he would have lived in the city of Houston, because he also hoped that one day his ex-wife Benita would return to their home before the end of the world.
No matter who that woman is, Jess knows it's a lot of trouble.
Their town is built on the beach, which is not suitable for planting, so the arable land of the town is two kilometers away.
When a woman comes to the cultivated land, she can't be allowed to live and die on her own. Therefore, Falk has no choice but to bring her back, because if someone pursues the woman to the cultivated land, they will also find their town.Now we can only take one step to see one step!
While thinking, Jess left his home with Falk. He only walked more than 100 meters to Falk's home.
When he entered the living room, he found a woman lying flat on the ground with blood all over her body, apparently fainting, while Falk's father was staring at the woman's head with a gun, and several other young people were standing on the four feet of the living room with weapons.
Blanc was relieved to see that Jess was coming.
"Jess, come and have a look. She's really a psionic. Her broken arm is slowly regenerating!"
Jess came forward and crouched down to see the woman.
After that, the whole body suddenly trembled and froze www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
