Chapter 29: Home!
Liu Jianwen felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his throat, rendering him speechless.
"Li Yu, I, I don't want to..." The atmosphere was exceptionally weighty, and Liu Jianwen couldn't finish his sentence.
Eventually, the head he had barely lifted fell heavily again.
Sigh...
A muffled sigh.
Melancholy, regret, confusion, entanglement, fear after the event...
A mix of emotions swirled together, making him feel as if he had lost all vitality.
After a while.
Li Yu pounded Liu Jianwen's shoulder heavily with his fist,
and said warmly, "Uncle, I'm here too! Together, we'll protect our family! Survive this damned apocalypse, and make it through well!"
Hearing Li Yu's resolute words, a warm current surged in his heart, like a beacon illuminating his soul that was shrouded in fog.
Yes! Now that the apocalypse has come, there are always precious things to guard.
For instance, family!
In the era before the apocalypse, as the internet developed, communication between people became increasingly convenient, but the distance between hearts grew further apart.
With the influx of foreign liberal ideas, many people advocated for independence, and the concept of family weakened.
Why, before his rebirth, during the apocalypse, did many people live in a daze, not knowing what they were living for?
Because they had no beliefs! No reliance in their hearts! No confidence!
The country.
Why, before the apocalypse, did many soldiers, numerous passionate youths, brim with fighting spirit? It was because of the same fervor: China must be strong!
Five thousand years of grandeur, those who offend our Huaxia, however distant, must be punished; those were the aspirations to drive chariots through Helan Mountain; those were the proud declarations that as long as Dragon City's warriors exist, the barbarian horses would not cross Yin Mountain.
It's just a pity,
Now in the apocalypse, the Government is gone, social order has collapsed, without country, without order, the entire world has lost its nations!
What can be done then, is to focus on the word that follows.
Home!
The Chinese family atmosphere is much stronger than abroad, like planting vegetables, it's a gene that flows in the blood. Many foreigners stop caring after their children turn 18.
But in China, there is the concept of kin beyond generations, of parents toiling their whole lives to buy houses and wives for their children, there is…
Valuing family, is an indelible, surging blood in the bones of our people!
"Home is a harbor where you can lean freely without worry, and a place where you can gather courage in any moment of despair."
Li Yu spoke as if he were an elder, rambling beside Liu Jianwen, as if speaking to Liu Jianwen, yet it seemed as if he was speaking to himself.
Reconstructing the concept of family, the kinship of blood is inherently closer than with strangers.
Compared to strangers, family members who share common interests and blood ties are more reliable.
He wanted to rebuild the culture of family, the faith in family, so that everyone has something to rely on in their hearts; with reliance comes strength, and fearlessness makes one invincible!
Liu Jianwen listened intently to Li Yu, his heart increasingly moved.
He patted Li Yu's shoulder firmly and said, "We are family!"
Then as if making a vow, he declared, "Li Yu, I will protect our family well! From now on, I'll listen to you!"
Li Yu nodded lightly, and then suddenly smiled. Before his rebirth, no one could be trusted for years, many learned to disguise, and he was repeatedly cheated, which turned his heart colder each day, living in a haze.
Now, he had a purpose in his heart. His family might sometimes be his weakness, but more likely, they would make him stronger!
Feeling as if he had found a kindred spirit, Li Yu was very happy.
He affectionately gripped his uncle's shoulder, walking towards the villa like brothers.
Liu Jianwen felt the gesture and warmed inside, smiling softly.
........
Returning to the bedroom, Li Yu found that Xuanxuan had sneaked into his room to sleep again.....
Ever since Li Yu brought her back to the base, Xuanxuan would follow him wherever he went.
He patted little Xuanxuan's cheek and said, "Xuanxuan, why are you sleeping here? Go to your room to sleep."
Xuanxuan ignored him, instead turning over to continue sleeping.
Seeing this, Li Yu decided not to wake her up. He left the bed quietly.
Xuanxuan hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time; she felt especially at ease by Li Yu's side.
To her, he was the only one she trusted!
Li Yu had rescued her from despair, touched her head, and said, "Follow me!"
It was Li Yu who provided her with a warmth she never dared to dream of after the apocalypse!
From the moment Li Yu saved her, she was determined to repay him well; when she grew up, she would definitely protect Li Yu!
Xuanxuan slept very deeply.
Li Yu watched the poor little girl who seemed to have taken him as her only family member!
He felt a certain warmth in his heart.
A slight smile appeared on his lips as he walked to the window sill, laid out a simple blanket, leaned against the window, and gazed blankly at the gradually sinking moon.
He didn't sleep, remembering what Liu Huamei had said today about what happened on Rock Mountain, he murmured to himself, "Rock Mountain... "
Liu Huamei was dead, so what about Liu Weimin? How would the Village Chief handle these people?
For Li Yu, he liked to nip troubles in their infancy.
...…
The next day, Li Yu slept until noon.
A meeting, setting off to Rock Mountain, he was about to undertake a significant task!
First: military training, allowing the younger generation to recognize the cruelty of human nature, reality.
Second: eliminating potential threats, the less known about the location of the base, especially by villains, the better.
Third: creating a sense of crisis.
He rallied his Uncle Liu Jianwen, Second Uncle Li Hongda,
his younger brother Li Hang, younger sister Li Yuan, cousins: Li Haoxian, Li Haoran, Li Zhengping... cousins: Li Peizhen, Li Suxin, and Lai Dongsheng's two daughters....
and so on.
There were nearly 20 males over 16 in the family, and nearly 10 females.
A company of 15 people set out impressively.
Father Li Hongyuan and Fourth Uncle, Uncle, and others stayed at home.
The elders of the older generation initially disagreed, especially with taking four-year-old Li Suxin and the six-year-old nose-picker boy Zhang Zhixing.
But Li Yu's argument, "You can protect them for a while, but can you protect them for a lifetime?" eventually won them over.
Before leaving, Li Yu handed a gun to Fourth Uncle and Uncle, asking them to protect the family well. When passing the guns, Li Yu looked at them earnestly, hoping they would cherish it!
Then they set off, this time in three vehicles.
Li Yu and Uncle each carried a submachine gun loaded with bullets, and Li Hang insisted on one too; Li Yu finally gave it to him, warning him to be careful of accidental discharge.
The rest of the people carried various knives and crossbows, even four-year-old Li Suxin had a small dagger.
This trip to Rock Mountain, Xuanxuan was exceptionally excited.
Especially when she also received a small knife, she kept pleading with Li Yu to teach her how to use it.
Ever since she got the small knife, she has been tirelessly practicing the moves Li Yu taught her.
