Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 548: Tragedy in Azure City (1/3)

Some time ago.

Avak Viscounty, Azure City.

In the residential area of ​​Azure City, the large collective apartment built by Viscount Avak had three floors and could accommodate 60 households, and more than 200 people lived here.

Most of them are rural young people who come to work in factories here, and some families who have not yet saved enough money to buy a house live here.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Although going to the toilet, bathing and doing laundry in the collective apartment is a bit troublesome, you can accept it after you get used to it. The folk customs of the Viscount Avak are quite simple, and there are many people who are willing to help their neighbors. Some old people even help take care of those who go out to work. Young people's children.

It is different from Nanling, which is still in the pioneering period. Located on the inner side of the Great Rear West Plain that the empire has developed for an unknown period of time, life in the Avak region is quite peaceful.

Although there is no opportunity to make a lot of money, basically there will be no problems with food and clothing. There will always be job opportunities, and there will always be enough food.

Viscount Avak himself will occasionally take care of the citizens, such as designing some cheap and durable collective apartments-after all, he knows very well that only by making people live comfortably can he rule more easily.

Plus, people in Terra mainland don't have so many ways to obtain information, and they don't have much ambition and desire. Occasionally, they drink, eat and eat meat during festivals, and they are quite happy after a carnival.

Usually, the family lives an ordinary life, bragging and chatting with friends, and talking about family affairs, but it can't be said that they are not happy.

Aunt Lydia is a well-known enthusiastic person in the apartment. She always cooks more meals and distributes them to those young people who are too tired to go home from work every day, so as not to hurt them because they are too tired to cook and eat well Body.

In addition, she will definitely help Zhang Luo if something happens to the house, and she can always help really.

Lydia lost her parents in a mine accident when she was young. It was the kind people in the apartment who helped her find a job, which has supported her until now.

Now that life is getting more and more prosperous, according to her words, you have to do something, otherwise you will feel uneasy.

Basically all the residents in the entire apartment have been helped by Aunt Lydia, and her family lives in the apartment, renting three suites, with her son and daughter by her side, although she already has money to buy one I went to live in a separate house, but I still live here because I can't fit those 'uneasy guys' in the apartment.

In the recent period, there are only two things that worry the aunt the most.

One thing is a mother and son living on the second floor. The mother married a short-lived ghost from other places when she was young. The father of the child died of illness when the child was one or two years old, and she worked hard to pull the child up. big.

But now that the child has grown up, it was time to enjoy the blessings, but the other party wanted to go out and make a living.

Although he certainly doesn't have this idea, according to his son, he wants to go to the Grand Duke to fight for wealth, so that he can bring his mother to enjoy life better in the future—but the fact is that he will abandon his old mother Alone in my hometown, alone.

It's not that mother doesn't agree.

The trouble is, the mother said yes too easily.

Although she also wanted to live with her son, she couldn't bear to refuse his wish... What's more, as a mother, who wouldn't have an unrealistic "trust" and love for her son? 'expectation', unreasonably believing that he/she will succeed?

But over the years, Aunt Lydia has seen how many young people who want to go out and make a living?

Tera is such a ghost place, go out and wander, if ten out of ten can come back, five will be thankful for Huaiguang's blessing!

She had seen too many mothers and fathers watch their children leave town and wait, never to return.

From longing to worry, from worry to restlessness, from restlessness to fear, from fear to daze.

In the end, from dazed to 'despair' when hearing the word missing.

"Ruixi is still too soft-hearted... She has worked so hard for so many years, I don't want her to collapse when she finally hears the news of Miles' disappearance..."

Aunt Lydia, who is also a mother and even a grandmother, is of course not optimistic about her son's ideas.

But she didn't want to deny a young man's wishes and dreams so simply, not to mention that Rui Xi was so kind to Miles at ordinary times, so her son didn't understand why he went out rashly by himself. Thoughts are not only dangerous to yourself, but also quite selfish.

So recently, she has been thinking about how to quietly remind Miles of his mother's hard work, as well as the more frequent coughing and dizziness recently...

As for the second thing, it is actually this.

Recently, a strange plague has gradually appeared in Azure City. The sick will experience dizziness, staring at the eyes, and gradually become unable to concentrate.

Many people have suffered from this disease. Many people speculate that the virus spread by the spies of Flaming Land caused a small panic, but when the Grand Duke's envoy brought the special medicine and distributed it to everyone , the disease will be eradicated.

Aunt Lydia also thought that the epidemic was over at first, but just a few days ago, a similar illness reappeared, and many people including Ruixi, mainly those who were weak and almost all the elderly People are even more ill.

It is precisely because of this that Miles, who originally planned to leave in July and August, has stayed in Azure City to take care of his mother, and has a vague idea of ​​staying. Reasons for persuasion.

For young people, you can only follow their words, otherwise, once the rebellious psychology comes up, you want him to stay, but he will definitely go.

Insinuations are only useful if they themselves are vaguely thinking this way.

"It's an opportunity."

With this kind of thinking, the aunt felt that the epidemic came at the right time, and she never worried about the method that the epidemic could not solve--the **** in the flying flames would also use this method, no matter what Whether it is the Grand Duke or the Empire, it must be very simple to develop a special medicine.

Just like the last time, within a few days, the alchemist of the Grand Duke sent over the special medicine.

But Aunt Lydia never thought of a thing.

No matter whether it is the Grand Duke's Land, Feiyan Land, or even the Empire and the Institute of the Intellect, none of them expected the accident to happen.

And the tragedy that will happen to them next.

With worries about Ruixi and the Miles family, Aunt Lydia finished buying today's ingredients and was ready to go home. The tall and spacious three-story apartment could already be vaguely seen, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy: " Let's make some radish stew today, let's make some bread, and make some bread tonight..."

No matter what, the days will always pass day after day. This is the daily life of most ordinary people on Terra Continent - entangled with family affairs, thinking about today's and tomorrow's dinner.

But suddenly, Aunt Lydia felt something was wrong.

—It was so quiet.

The streets around the usual apartment area...is it so quiet?

In addition, the apartment is extra noisy, it seems that someone is arguing? It seems that there is still a fight, how could it be, everyone is very kind...

With such doubts, Aunt Lydia slowed down, and at this moment, she vaguely saw a man covered in blood supporting an old man, holding a little girl in his arms, and stumbling away out of the apartment.

At first, she didn't see it clearly, but soon, the aunt was shocked to find that the man was her son, and the unconscious old man he was supporting was her husband, and the son was pregnant. Among them is her beloved little granddaughter Cynthia.

Patter, Aunt Lydia put down the rattan basket containing the ingredients in her hand, and wanted to go forward, and the man also saw his mother's figure, showing a complex expression mixed with surprise, joy and fear.

"Mom?! Come on, let's go..."

He roared loudly, but couldn't move any faster—he had a rather deep **** on his shoulder and thigh, where he had been stabbed with a knife: "Someone in the building is going crazy, Rosie... Rosie has already We were hacked to death by them, let's run away!"

The man's eyes were bloodshot when he said this, and he wished he could turn around and fight those lunatics now. His mother has been helping the residents in the building for so many years, and he has been doing his best to help everyone. Not even Huai Guang could deny their unrequited kindness.

The result?

My wife was just chatting with women in other apartments, but was suddenly hacked to death by a few crazy lunatics!

If he hadn't wanted to cover the father and daughter from rushing out, he would have gone desperate!

Aunt Lydia froze for a moment.

Rosie? Her daughter-in-law, who was usually a little dull, but quite gentle and kind, and who also baked good bread?

She died?

Just like that... just died like this? !

For a moment, a wordless shock swept the old woman's heart, she began to feel dizzy for a while, and Venus began to appear in front of her eyes.

As for these Venus, if you look carefully, you can vaguely see them. They are all the experiences of Lydia's life, all the memories and ways of thinking.

And everything is recorded by a kind of fluctuation in the dark, and then condensed into an invisible 'existence'...
