My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 206 Salvation
"Wow..." Little Zhang Tao cried again.

"Zhang Fan, you are so cruel!" Gao Yuemei cried out of breath.

Now is not the time to be sad, Zhang Ming closed his eyes for his nephew, then took off the other's backpack, and carried it directly on his body.

"Sister-in-law, we should go, it's not safe here."

Gao Yuemei held her son's left hand and refused to let go, her whole heart was ashamed: "Zhang Ming, take the child and go, I want to stay with Zhang Fan."

"Sister-in-law, Zhang Tao has already lost his parents, don't you think he lost his only grandmother?" Zhang Ming persuaded.

"If it's gone, it's gone. He will live the same life with you."

Zhang Ming reminded: "Sister-in-law, only you can bring little Zhang Tao back to China now. I am a citizen of a beautiful country, and now I can't even apply for a visa."

Although Gao Yuemei's family has applied for investment immigration, they will not be officially naturalized until August or September. At this time, she and Xiao Zhang Tao are still citizens of Daxia.

"Can we still go back?" Gao Yuemei muttered to herself.

"It's definitely possible. When the riot is over, I will personally send you to the consulate here."

The belief in returning to the country finally supported Gao Yuemei to stand up. The younger brother-in-law was right, their family already had nothing, and the eldest grandson stayed in the beautiful country without even a chance to survive.

Taking one last look at her son, Gao Yuemei set off again holding her eldest grandson in her arms.

This walk is more than an hour.

Until they met a small group in the same community, Zhang Ming stepped forward to negotiate, and the small group quickly accepted them.

Next, the small group took two days and walked a small road before finally reaching the Pelican Hill community.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the community, the group was stopped. After checking their identity documents, they handed in all their weapons. Fortunately, no private property was confiscated.

Maybe all the people living here are rich people, and they don't care about this little money.

After entering the community, men and women lived separately. Gao Yuemei and her eldest grandson were assigned to an old couple's home. The man's name was Carl, and the woman's name was Nancy. The couple had a daughter, but they lived on the east coast.

Perhaps because of Xiao Zhang Tao's face, Nancy arranged a separate small bedroom for the grandparents and grandson, and Gao Yuemei's main job was to help the frontline patrol personnel wash and cook.

……

In a blink of an eye, more than a week passed, and the time came to the end of June.

The beautiful country finally sent rescuers, but unfortunately they came too late. At this time, the entire west coast was reduced to ruins, and the loss of personnel was even more numerous.

After this battle, the comprehensive national strength of the beautiful country was almost halved, and the survivors chose to flee from the local area, some moved to the east coast, and some simply went abroad.

But all of this has nothing to do with Gao Yuemei.

At this time, she was helping Xiao Zhang Tao in the kitchen with her back on her back. After this period of buffering, she gradually recovered from the grief of losing her relatives.

"Gao, someone is looking for you." Nancy ran over and said.

Gao Yuemei was at a loss, she had been in the beautiful country for so long, and she still couldn't understand a word of English.

Seeing this, Nancy directly dragged her to the gate.

It turned out that Zhang Ming came to look for her.

"Three grams of oil!" Gao Yuemei hurriedly thanked her.

Nancy waved her hand and left.

Zhang Ming looked excited: "Sister-in-law, I just heard the news that the consulate is open. Let's get ready and go there tomorrow."

"Zhang Ming, I think life here is pretty good, and I don't want to go back to China." Gao Yuemei shook her head and said, after going through all this, she felt ashamed to go back.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth, this place will be abandoned soon, and Nancy's house where you live now will move out next week. Even if you want to stay, there is no way to survive." Zhang Ming advised.

"Okay, why did Nancy and the others move away?"

"These people, including us, have been frightened. Who would dare to stay now? Besides, the factories on the west coast have all been destroyed, and there is no food or drink. What do you have to survive?"

"Can't it be rebuilt if it's destroyed?" Gao Yuemei was puzzled.

Zhang Ming shook his head: "All the rich people are gone. There is no money to rebuild it. Besides, even if it is rebuilt, who knows if there will be another riot. In short, it will not recover for decades."

"Then let's go to the east coast too!" Gao Yuemei thought for a while and said.

"There is an anti-immigration wave on the east coast, let alone you and Xiao Zhang Tao, even I, an authentic and beautiful Chinese, dare not go there." Zhang Ming said disheartened.

"We have returned to China, so what will you do in the future?" Gao Yuemei asked.

"I can't stay here on the west coast. The law and order will only become more and more chaotic in the future. I plan to go abroad to try my luck. The living can't be suffocated to death by urine."

In fact, the reason why Zhang Ming wanted to go abroad was to earn more money, and then subsidize his sister-in-law and grandnephew. After all, he was the one who harmed the elder brother's family.

Fortunately, little Zhang Tao was fine, otherwise he would have wiped his neck long ago.

Gao Yuemei was finally convinced, no matter how much face she has, it is not as important as her grandson.

In the afternoon, the uncle and sister-in-law returned to the Langang community with others. There were still cans buried in their yard, which was the foundation of their future.

It's a pity that as much hope, so much disappointment.

The traces of burial in the yard were too obvious. The cans had been dug away long ago. There was not a single can left, only a deep pit, which seemed to be mocking the two of them.

Gao Yuemei smiled wryly, "Now I can't even think about going back."

There is no rationing system in the beautiful country, and the food is basically in the hands of the giants.

It was replaced by charitable organizations such as food banks. Unfortunately, as the drought continued to worsen, there was less and less food available, which was also one of the main reasons for the sharp deterioration of public security.

It is difficult for someone like Gao Yuemei who has no special skills to survive here, let alone with a child.

Zhang Ming fell to the ground all of a sudden, the house was burned, and the cans were gone. Now he really has nothing.

Some people may say, is there no deposit in the bank?
Not really, Zhang Ming had already withdrawn all his savings in fear of the bank going bankrupt, most of which were used to stockpile food.

The rest of the hundreds of thousands of dollars was also lost on the last flight, leaving only one and a half barrels of milk powder and a dozen cans.

Fortunately, the passport and other documents were put in the backpack together with the milk powder, but they were not lost, which is a blessing in misfortune.

"Sister-in-law, let's go!" Zhang Ming stood up and patted the dust off his body.

"I don't know how your elder brother's corpses were handled, or else it would be good to take the ashes back." Gao Yuemei sighed.

Daxia people pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots, and this is what Gao Yuemei regrets the most.

Zhang Ming knew very well that the corpses must have been dealt with in a centralized manner, otherwise, the stench would have been so bad all the way here.

It's almost July now, and the daytime temperature is as high as more than 40 degrees, which is scary even thinking about it.
