Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 30

Chapter 30

The rain fell, as if the sad sky was weeping.

Gradually, a cluster of villages appeared amidst the vast green cornfields. The hills behind were lush and green, with a hazy beauty in the rain.

Because she was not very close to her relatives in her hometown, Xia Weishuang did not feel any sense of homesickness, but when she saw the village monument with the words “Green Mountain Village,” she couldn’t help but feel a little relaxed.

It’s great that Little Xue can be reunited with Second Uncle and Second Aunt soon.

Xia Weishuang’s car was in the front. She entered from the main road of the village monument. The first thing she saw was the abandoned primary school and small square in front of the village. The row of classrooms in the primary school by the roadside had been converted into an activity room for the elderly. At this time, there was naturally no one there.

The only ones still active were the dedicated zombies who were still hunting outside in the rain.

Green Mountain Village was not large. Xia Weishuang and the others drove straight in, all the way to the west end, shaking off the zombies. Those that couldn’t be shaken off were run over. Then they turned into an alley and drove a little further, and they arrived at her grandparents’ house.

Their village was considered relatively wealthy and had been actively building a new countryside. In recent years, several main roads had been paved with cement.

Xia Weishuang parked the car in front of a two-story small building. This small building had a very spacious courtyard. Many families in Green Mountain Village had such houses.

As soon as Xia Weishuang and the others’ car approached, two people poked their heads out of the window on the second floor and shouted at them, “Who is it? Why are you still in the car?”

Xia Weishuang slowly stopped the car, got out, and said to the people above, “It’s me, Xia Weishuang, and Xia Qingxue.”

The name Xia Weishuang obviously surprised them a little, but they still quickly reported the news to the others in the family. Then the door was opened, and Xia Weishuang and the others were let in.

They squeezed into the hall under the rain. Only Sang Lu was still standing in the courtyard, getting drenched.

Grandpa Xia’s name was Xia Fugui. He had planted a lot of flowers and plants in the courtyard. What was surprising was that there were quite a lot of people in this house.

As soon as Second Uncle and Second Aunt heard their daughter’s name, they immediately ran out to greet her, hugging Xia Qingxue tightly and refusing to let go. Xia Weishuang also saw them secretly wiping away tears.

The people of Grandpa Xia’s generation were particularly fertile. At this time, besides Second Uncle and Second Aunt, there was also Aunt Xia and her son, as well as her two-year-old granddaughter, Third Uncle Xia’s son, and Fourth Uncle Xia lived in the city and had not yet returned…

Unlike Xia Qingxue’s side, the atmosphere on Xia Weishuang’s side was much more awkward.

Back then, because Xia Weishuang was a girl, and her mother was unwilling to have another child, the relationship between Grandpa and Grandma Xia and the rest of the family was very strained. They disliked Xia Weishuang’s mother, and by extension, they disliked Xia Weishuang.

Second Uncle’s family’s situation was similar to Xia Weishuang’s, but at the beginning, his family had coaxed the old people, saying that they wanted to have another child. Then they dragged it out, and the family planning policy became stricter and stricter. Third and Fourth Uncle’s families also had grandsons, so the matter was dropped. In addition, Xia Qingxue was more lively and likable since she was a child, and had spent enough time with the two old people, so her relationship with them was very harmonious.

Third Uncle’s family had two children, a son and a daughter. Fourth Uncle had one son. Aunt Xia’s family had twin sons.

Among the large Xia family, Xia Weishuang’s family had the most distant relationship. After Xia Weishuang’s parents passed away, it became even more distant. After Xia Weishuang’s sexual orientation was exposed, they almost had no contact at all.

“Why did you bring so many girls back with you?” Grandpa Xia was obviously very dissatisfied and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t you have any of those improper relationships again?”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at the woman in the courtyard. She was really too strange.

Xia Weishuang shook her head and said, “There’s no ‘again.’ It’s always been the same person.”

Grandpa Xia: “…”

Aunt Xia let out a sigh and said, “It’s not that I’m criticizing you, Little Shuang, but you know it’s not easy for everyone now. We don’t dare to go out casually. With so many people, we’re already using up a lot of food every day. You’ve brought back so many freeloaders. You should think about your grandparents.”

Ke Xiaoxiao and Mi Lele, who were not related to the Xia family by blood, were immediately extremely embarrassed.

Seeing the situation here, Second Uncle quickly came over to smooth things over. “It’s so difficult outside now. It’s not easy for Little Shuang to come back. Little Shuang, are these your friends?”

“This is my roommate, my sister!” Xia Qingxue rushed over and hugged Ke Xiaoxiao’s arm, saying unhappily, “Aunt, can you be a little more polite? We have our own food. And you and uncle don’t usually come here, and you don’t see grandpa and grandma. You just came over as soon as something happened. Did you bring anything back?”

Aunt Xia immediately glared at her and said, “Why are you so snobbish, you little brat? What’s wrong with me coming back to my parents’ house?” As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red and she started to cry. “My husband and son are dead, my daughter-in-law is also gone. I’m a widow with a little grandson. Where else can I go? How can you be so heartless! I knew you, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, looked down on me, didn’t you…”

And so the Xia family’s topic immediately turned to Aunt Xia.

It’s so noisy, so noisy.

Xia Weishuang rubbed her ears, not at all sad that her blood relatives did not welcome her. She had come back this time for Xia Qingxue. Now that she had sent Xia Qingxue back to Second Uncle and Second Aunt, her mission was complete.

Her original plan was to go back and find Sang Lu alone after completing her mission, but now that Sang Lu was by her side, there was no need to go back. Staying in the countryside seemed to be a good choice. They could find a house without an owner and stay there for the time being. At a time like this, no one would probably come to disturb them…

Xia Weishuang was very tempted.

“You don’t have to argue. I’m not planning to stay here,” Xia Weishuang said. “I’m just sending Little Xue back. I’ll be leaving soon.”

“No, if you don’t stay, where will you live?” Xia Qingxue was stunned. She had never thought that Xia Weishuang would be separated from her, especially at a time like this!

Xia Weishuang said, “I’ll just find a house in the village and stay there for a while.”

“Little Shuang, how can you say that!” Grandma Xia said unhappily. “You’re our old Xia family’s granddaughter. How can you not live at home and live outside? Besides, it’s so late. Where can you go if you go out? Alright, just stay here for tonight. We’ll talk about other things later! As for these three girls… they can stay here for now. It’s a difficult time for everyone.”

She didn’t know if it was because this terrible disaster had caused everyone to lose too much, so that even relatives who were not very close in the past had begun to learn to accept more.

Grandpa Xia was still a little awkward. “That won’t do. Do you know what people say about you being a homosexual? They all say you have a mental illness! If you don’t change, ah, and this… is still that, cough, anyway, if you don’t change, then hurry up and get out with your girlfriend!”

Xia Weishuang immediately turned and left, preparing to get out with Sang Lu.

Second Aunt quickly came over to pull her back. Second Uncle and Xia Qingxue complained to Grandpa Xia, blaming him for only caring about face and not affection at a time like this.

After a lot of chaos, the group of people finally sat down at the dining table in the hall, catching up while eating dinner, and temporarily putting Xia Weishuang’s sexual orientation aside.

Of course, Sang Lu was not with them.

At the dinner table, it was mainly Xia Qingxue who talked about what they had experienced along the way, which made everyone gasp in surprise. At the same time, they also exchanged information about others.

It turned out that when the incident happened, Aunt Xia happened to be visiting Grandpa Xia’s house with her little grandson. As soon as the incident happened, she called home and learned that her husband, eldest son, and daughter-in-law were all dead. Her younger son had driven away and fled all the way here, so they simply stayed and didn’t leave.

Third Uncle’s family lived next door. Third Uncle had turned into a zombie and bitten Third Aunt to death. Third Uncle’s eldest son, Xia Yu, had stayed at home and was lucky to have escaped. His daughter was outside when the incident happened and was currently missing.

And there was no news from Fourth Uncle’s family. It was not known if they were dead or alive. The originally lively and bustling large family had suddenly lost more than half of its members. No one could not be sad.

Perhaps because of this, the two old people also began to care about Xia Weishuang, their granddaughter by blood.

A simple dinner, with some quarrels, but in the end, everyone got along.

But Sang Lu’s existence was really too strange. Even though Xia Weishuang emphasized that she was an esper and had a strange temper and didn’t need to be paid attention to, others couldn’t help but look at her with a probing gaze.

At the same time, to make everyone less hostile to Ke Xiaoxiao and Mi Lele, who were outsiders, after dinner, Xia Qingxue and the others moved some supplies in from the car, saying that they had found them together.

And when it was time to rest at night, how to allocate the rooms became a problem again.

There were not many rooms left on Grandpa Xia’s side. Originally, it was full with Second Uncle and Second Aunt and Aunt’s family. Now that five girls had returned, it was suddenly not enough.

“Why don’t you stay at my place?” Xia Yu said. “Anyway, the rooms in my house are empty.”

When he said this, he was a little dejected. “But my parents’ room needs to be cleaned up. And Little Mei’s room. It should be enough.”

To go next door, they didn’t have to go through the main door. They could just go up the stairs from the flat-roofed building in the courtyard where miscellaneous things were stored.

The rain was not heavy, so the few of them didn’t take an umbrella. After they went over, Xia Weishuang said, “Thank you for tonight.”

“You don’t have to be so polite,” Xia Yu smiled and said. “After all, I’m your younger brother. Don’t always think about going out. It’s so dangerous outside. Just stay at my place. Otherwise, it’s too quiet here, and I’ll feel bad, so I’ll have to go to grandpa’s house.”

Stay here all the time?

If it was just Xia Weishuang, it wouldn’t matter if she stayed for a longer time, but there was also Sang Lu…

Xia Weishuang was holding Sang Lu’s hand, pulling the rain-enjoying Sang Lu over.

Xia Qingxue, Ke Xiaoxiao, and Mi Lele stayed in Xia Yu’s sister’s room. Xia Weishuang stayed in Third Uncle and Third Aunt’s room, on the second floor.

The bloodstains in this room had not been cleaned, and there was a faint fishy smell. It looked messy and a bit scary. Xia Weishuang let Sang Lu continue to stay in the courtyard in the rain, while she took a rag and started to clean. Xia Yu helped her and couldn’t help but ask:

“What’s the deal with that friend of yours? Why is she so strange? You said before that your girlfriend hasn’t changed… it’s not her, is it?”

“Yes.” There was nothing to hide. Xia Weishuang admitted it openly. “She is my girlfriend. Although she looks a little strange now, she wasn’t like this before. She just got sick because of this virus. Don’t be afraid. She’s not a zombie and won’t attack people randomly.”

Xia Yu’s expression immediately became a little strange. Unlike the elders, as a young person, he actually knew more and was not so hostile to homosexuality, so…

“Why do I remember that your girlfriend from three years ago died? You were very sad and even got sick,” Xia Yu said with a wry smile. “Is this a new girlfriend? When did you start dating?”

Xia Weishuang paused and said, “She’s not new. It’s always been her.”

Xia Yu: “…”

Xia Weishuang: “I’m not sure how to explain it to you, but she didn’t die. She came back.”

Xia Yu: “…………”

Xia Yu, holding a rag, walked out gently and said, “Good, good night.”

Xia Weishuang sighed, thinking, I should just find a house and move out alone.

After a lot of wiping, washing, sweeping, and mopping, Xia Weishuang made this room habitable. Because it was raining, there was no moonlight or starlight tonight, and it was particularly dark.

Xia Weishuang fumbled in the dark to the window and looked at the courtyard. Sang Lu was still standing silently in the rain in the courtyard.

Xia Weishuang simply opened the window, so she could come in whenever she wanted. Then she lay on the bed and dozed off. As she was sleeping, a distant scream suddenly woke Xia Weishuang up.

She sat up with a start and subconsciously looked at the courtyard. The courtyard was empty.

Where did Sang Lu go?

Why did that sound just now sound so strange?

The soundproofing here was not very good, and it was a quiet night, so all sounds were amplified. She was sure that she had really heard a strange sound just now, coming from the street behind.

Xia Weishuang got out of bed, put on her slippers, and came to the north window. She opened the window here, and a draft instantly blew past Xia Weishuang’s body, sweeping away the dampness and stuffiness of the rainy night.

She was listening with her ear tilted, trying to catch some other sound.

Suddenly, a black shadow shot up from below, startling Xia Weishuang.

She couldn’t help but take a step back, but the more she looked at the silhouette of the shadow, the more familiar it seemed. Xia Weishuang couldn’t help but say, “Sang Lu?”

Sang Lu was holding onto the window sill, hanging herself on this two-story small building. Xia Weishuang quickly opened the screen window as well. The window opened outwards. Sang Lu nimbly bent backward and lowered her head, avoiding the screen window, and then, like an eel, she slipped in with the wet rainwater.

She was like the incarnation of a rainy night, bringing with her a cold, damp, and earthy smell of grass and trees, covering Xia Weishuang completely.

“Sang Lu.” Xia Weishuang felt that she was all wet and called out in a low voice, “Don’t mess around.”

And when she went to push her, suddenly, Xia Weishuang smelled a faint smell of blood on Sang Lu’s chin.
