In the courtyard in the countryside, gas is used in the kitchen and bathroom, and there is a pool on the roof of the house, which means that several people can still take a hot bath.
Jiang Su went to pick vegetables, Lin Xia went to cook, and Jiang Lirong and Ji Huai were reinforcing the yard to prevent zombies from rushing in in the middle of the night. Nowadays, in addition to people, animals have also mutated, so we need to be more careful.
The sound of food being stir-fried began to be heard from the kitchen, and the aroma filled the air. I made two simple stir-fry dishes and took out a few bottles of canned food from the car, which was enough for everyone to eat an extra bowl of rice.
An An finished the rice in her bowl, licked her lips with her little tongue, handed the bowl to Lin Xia, and whispered, "Mom, I still want to eat."
"Eat, eat until you're full!" Jiang Lirong served another small bowl of rice to his daughter. He watched her daughter immersed herself in eating with a complicated look on her face, and finally raised her hand to touch her soft hair.
This is the most filling meal the family has had since the end of the world.
The back of the truck also contained food and supplies, and the food snatched by dozens of supernatural beings were stored inside, as well as guns and ammunition. After the meal, Jiang Lirong wanted to ask Ji Huai for the bottle of milk powder.
He wanted to feed his wife. In his opinion, the reason why their family of three survived this time was because Ji Huai saved them. The other person had saved his life over and over again and was his savior. He did not dare to think that he had a share in those supplies.
"Brother Jiang, I don't have time to help you find it now." Ji Huai didn't look back and was busy reinforcing the doors and windows. He just said, "Just keep that bottle of vitamins for me. I want to give it to Xiao Su."
In and out of words, they didn't regard it as their own at all. They were a team and the food they received was together.
Jiang Lirong was stunned at first. The 1.9-meter tall man was so excited and moved that he choked up with sobs. Still trying his best to control it, he said quickly with a nasal voice: "I'll look for it, and I'll look for it for you too."
There are a lot of things on the car, including rice, flour, food, oil, instant noodles, snacks, medicines, biscuits, drinks...
Enough for them to live for a long time.
As the night progressed, zombies became more active. In order not to attract nearby zombies, they took a shower early, entered the room and locked the door.
The small house had two rooms, with the living room in the middle. Ji Huai and his family slept in the guest room, and Jiang Lirong's family of three slept in the master bedroom, which had a larger bed.
There was no electricity and it was pitch black at night. Ji Huai took a quilt and sheets from the car and changed them with the moonlight shining through the window.
Jiang Su washed her hair. There was no hair dryer, so she was trying to dry it. She put on a new pair of pajamas, which she could finally put on openly. She also gave Lin Xia a set of pajamas that she and Ji Huai got when they went out to kill zombies. If she wasn't afraid of being discovered, she could have gotten more good things.
Ji Huai protected her all the way, so she didn't have many hard times.
A gust of cool breeze blew in through the gap in the window. She rubbed the tip of her nose and sneezed. She had just washed her hair one more time and was feeling a little cold.
"Go to bed quickly." Ji Huai frowned and scolded her lightly.
"My hair is not dry yet." She took a breath and walked to the bed. As soon as she reached it, she was pulled to the bed. She refused to lie down, so Ji Huai wrapped her in a quilt and made a rice dumpling.
Ji Huai ruffled her hair with his hand. He felt it was too wet, so he wrapped a towel around her head and kept wiping it.
Jiang Su was indeed cold and wanted to sneeze again. She was afraid of attracting zombies, so she covered it with her hands. Her whole face turned red, and she wrapped her hands tightly with the quilt, shrinking her whole body inside.
Ji Huai sat next to her and wiped her with a dry towel. Jiang Su rubbed the tip of her nose and spread the quilt, "It's too cold. Come in quickly and I'll hold her to keep warm."
Ji Huai's mouth twitched, "What do you think I am?"
"Warmer." She was honest. She was about to sneeze again, so she took the initiative to move forward with the quilt in her arms, hugged him, and wrapped him in the quilt.
Ji Huai has lost a lot of weight during this time, but he has muscles. In the past, when he worked in an office, he was polite and his skin was fairer than that of ordinary boys. Now he was tanned and his facial features were more distinct. She felt that he was more interesting, so she hugged him tightly and laughed softly.
"What are you laughing at?" He raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Su exposed his little head, arched his eyebrows, and his eyes were bright, "I used to think you were more polite and gentle than ordinary boys, but now I think you are also handsome just by talking."
Like it no matter what.
"That's what a polite scum has done." Seeing that her hair was almost dry, Ji Huai threw the towel aside, "I'm pretending to deceive you interns. It's hard to deceive someone who has been out of society for a long time."
What he said was true. What he said was polite, steady, and gentle, but it was just a layer of clothing.
Jiang Su didn't listen at all, she just thought he was joking and kept getting into his arms, clinging to him like an octopus. I was nervous all the way, and when I went out to train with him, I was always worried about his safety, for fear that I would hold him back, and if I wasn't paying attention, both of them would be skinned alive by zombies.
Although I didn't know what kind of risks I would encounter on the way to the southern base, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and really loved this moment of warm relationship.
She was making a fuss, Ji Huai stretched out his hand and pulled her hand away, she hugged her again, and he pulled away again, still a little helpless, "Go to bed quickly."
Jiang Su still hugged him, and while hugging him, she climbed on top of him. He was extremely clingy and moved his hands and feet wildly.
Ji Huai took a deep breath, grabbed her hands and feet, and put her down. His dark eyes stared at her with a hint of warning, "You don't want to sleep, do you?"
He was much stronger now. With a slight grab, Jiang Su couldn't move. How could he see his expression clearly in the darkness? He also raised his foot and kicked him.
But after lighting it on fire, he was skinned clean in a matter of seconds.
Afraid of making too much noise, Jiang Su gritted her teeth and did not dare to make a sound, biting her lip hard. After being in trouble for most of the night, Ji Huai's current physical strength could barely break her apart.
The next day An An saw her lips, pointed lightly with her little hand, and spoke with concern, "Sister, your mouth is hurt."
The tips of Jiang Su's ears turned red. For fear of being overheard by others, she wanted to cover An An's mouth. She squatted down and explained in a low voice, "Sister accidentally knocked her. It will be fine in a few days."
"Oh." An An trotted to Lin Xia's end, and her childish voice sounded, "Mom, my sister accidentally hit her mouth and broke her skin."
Jiang Su was petrified, and Ji Huai, who was passing by, couldn't help laughing, coughed slightly and walked away.
Although Lin Xia is a woman, she is indeed simple and did not think about it. She said softly, "Then do you care about your sister?"
"Yeah!" An An said again with a small mouth, "Sister said it will be fine in a few days."
Jiang Su covered his face and ran away.
The small mountain village was sparsely populated, and other households also had a lot of vegetables and some grain. When Ji Huai and Jiang Lirong carried it back, they also carried a domestic chicken. This chicken was probably locked in a cage because it refused to lay eggs, and the other poultry had been eaten by zombies.
They also found three eggs in the corner, and Jiang Su, Lin Xia and An An each ate one.
It had been raining in the past few days, and there was food in the small mountain village. The few people decided not to leave yet, but to stay here for a few more days. Lin Xia's face was a little bad after running around and being frightened during this period.
Jiang Su was still a little surprised and worried when she learned that Lin Xia was pregnant. She was actually several months pregnant in her small body. She was too petite and too thin to tell.
Now is the end of the world. Medical care is a very scarce resource. It is difficult to feed a child after birth. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but there is no good solution now.
The vegetables in the small vegetable garden can still be eaten for a few days, and everyone's food has improved somewhat.
This day.
They were eating and killed the chickens they brought back yesterday. The power was out, so it was difficult to save them, so they simply fried them all.
Lin Xia's cooking skills are very good, and she can use a few simple ingredients to fry things that are particularly delicious and fragrant.
An An was eating when she suddenly looked up from the bowl and looked at the closed door.
This move first caught Jiang Su's attention, and she asked softly, "An'an, what's wrong?"
"The dog is outside." An An said softly.
"Ah?" Jiang Su didn't hear clearly, and thought she heard wrongly, and didn't know what she was talking about.
"The dog is outside." An An stretched out her little finger and pointed at the door and repeated.
Jiang Su looked at the closed door, confused. Ji Huai stood up and opened the door, and saw the Shiba Inu lying down outside the yard, covered in rainwater.
"Wow..." Seeing someone coming out, it continued to lie down and called out cautiously, looking at the people in the room.
This was a mutated dog. Jiang Lirong was extremely careful. When he saw An An coming down from the table with bowls and chopsticks, he quickly pulled her aside, feeling that it was very dangerous.
An An added: "The dog is hungry."
Jiang Lirong looked at An An and then at Ji Huai.
What does it have to do with them if it's hungry? Is it possible that you are still here begging for food? This is not the end of the world. When you are hungry, you just go find something to eat.
"Why don't you give it these bones to eat?" Lin Xia looked at the bones on the table and considered what to say.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Lirong nodded, "I think it will work!"
Jiang Su put the bones in the bowl. Ji Huai took it, found something to block it, ran to the edge of the yard, and handed the bowl out.
The dog sniffed back and forth around the bowl, finally picked up the bowl and ran away.
"Hey, this guy runs pretty fast." Jiang Lirong said looking at its back.
After that time, the dog appeared when it was time to eat. It lay quietly outside the door and watched them finish the meal. Jiang Su and Lin Xia would give it the remaining bones.
Later, I will cook some extra rice for it.
The puppy didn't bark, and ran away every time with the bowl in its mouth. After a while, it quietly came back with the bowl in its mouth, and pushed it into the yard with its feet.
On the fourth day of living here, Jiang Su's body changed.
She went to the yard to pick the last remaining vegetables. They were going to have a bacon stew in the evening. Lin Xia took the old vegetables and marinated them in jars and took them on the road to eat.
The remaining Chinese cabbage was growing well. She pulled them up and when she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of some green cabbage seedlings not far away. However, these vegetables seemed to have just been sown with seeds and had only grown a few centimeters. They were so big that she didn’t know what kind of dishes they were.
She lowered her head and observed carefully again.
The yellow seeds split open in the middle, and small sprouts grew out of them. It was so magical that she was ready to pull one out and take a closer look.
As soon as my hand touched it, the little vegetable seedling jumped up several centimeters.
