"Ruoyu, it's getting late, hurry up and move things."
Chi Ruojin's eyelids twitched, and she felt a little angry when she saw the young couple hugging each other. She took a step forward and separated her sister from Jiang Liu without a trace. the time they communicated.
"Yes, yes, if you have something to say, go home and say it slowly, and move everything first."
Chi Dayuan didn't think much about it. Seeing that his little niece and Jiang Liu haven't had a good relationship for five years, he still thinks that this is the fate of the two children, but now the most important thing is to bring them back to the village safely and live there. In a village, you can greet each other anytime you want.
"Ruo Jin, do you have a lot of this stuff?"
Except for some bulky furniture that was not packed, the parents' clothes and the sisters' belongings were packed in four or five boxes, in addition to several bags of rice, refined noodles, instant noodles, bottled water and other foods.
"I read a lot of news on the Internet before, just in case I stocked up with food and water at home, but I didn't expect it would really come in handy."
Chi Ruojin calmly explained that she had thought about it. On the bright side, the two sisters must have supplies close to them. This material cannot be too much or too little. Now the uncle Chi Dayuan sees these things that are enough for the two sisters to be close to each other. As for the things hidden in the space, Chi Ruojin will naturally make them legal in the future.
"It's also because you young people are smart. When your brother showed me the news, I didn't take it seriously. It was because he was crying and making trouble that I didn't sell the grain in the cellar to the grain seller."
Chi Dayuan sighed, fortunately, he didn't sell the food. Now he is saving some food. The food at home is enough for the whole family to survive for a year or two.
What about in just a year or two? If the temperature continues to be high, there is no way to grow food, I am afraid that sooner or later the water in the river will evaporate, and the draft will also be a big problem.
"I didn't cry and make trouble."
Chi Shengli's focus is obviously different from that of Lao Tzu Chi Dayuan. From the corner of his eye, he looks at Jiang Liu and Tang Ao, which is related to his face as a man.
"Okay, you didn't cry or make trouble."
Chi Dayuan comforted a few words perfunctorily, and then a group of people hurriedly packed up and left as quickly as possible.

"Uncle Dayuan, you guys are back, hurry up and take Victory to catch the loach!"
It was almost 2:30 when we got back to the village, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. Chi Dayuan got out of the air-conditioned car and his sweat glands were dripping like a faucet.
Just when Chi Dayuan wanted to take his two nieces home to turn on the air conditioner, a villager who passed by with a bucket reminded him.
"You can't eat dead hot fish, but the loach that burrows in the mud of the pond is still alive and kicking. If these loach are left in the sun for a few days, they will probably become dry loach. The village chief said, everyone catch more while they are now. Home, and the few live fish in the river, while they are still alive, I can catch them back to make salted fish or dried fish, and save more vegetables for my family.”
When the crisis came, the villagers made the best of their way of survival, not letting go of any kind of materials that could be collected now.
"By the way, there are also those dried vegetables in the field. Just now, Uncle Hongzhi picked up a handful of green vegetables and tried to cook them. The taste is not as good as fresh vegetables, but they can be eaten, but I don't know that these dried vegetables can be preserved. how long."
The person passing by told Chi Dayuan everything he knew, and then left in a hurry. There are still a lot of dried seedlings in his home. He would definitely not eat those things in peacetime. , But isn't the weather changing now? No one knows whether these dried seedlings will become their last ration to survive.
"Ruoyu, Ruojin, you two stay at home, and Shengli and I will catch the loach for you two."
Chi Dayuan remembered that his little niece's favorite food was stir-fried loach, and it was estimated that there was still an hour or two before the sun came out, which was enough to catch a big bucket.
"Uncle, you and Shengli go to collect the dried vegetables from the field first, and Ruoyu and I will go to the pond to catch loach."
Chi Ruojin, who has experienced the end of the world for eight years, is not a delicate girl. She understands the uncle's protection for the two sisters, but it makes no sense that her cousin Shengli, who is seven years younger than her, has to work in the field, but the two sisters are not. Lying at home like Miss Jiao.
Moreover, Chi Ruojin didn't think that pampering and pampering was a good thing for her sister. To truly love someone, she had to teach her the skills to survive.
Chi Ruojin doesn't know how the world will develop in the future. She doesn't know if she can always accompany her sister, so she will try her best to give all her skills to her sister, so that she can be without her company. , can also stand alone.
"Uncle Dayuan, I'll be with Sister Ruojin and Ruoyu."
Jiang Liu vaguely remembered that Chi Ruoyu seemed to like eating the stir-fried loach made by the original body, which was regarded as compensation for stealing the little girl's roast chicken.
"fair enough."
Chi Dayuan nodded, then smiled at Jiang Liu with the kind expression he looked at his niece-in-law: "Ruoyu and her sister will take care of you."
Chi Dayuan's thinking is a bit feudal, and he always feels that no matter how old a girl is, she still needs someone to protect her, so even if Chi Ruojin is five years older than Jiang Liu, Chi Dayuan still thinks Jiang Liu is more reliable.
"Dad, I also want to catch the loach."
Chi Shengli muttered to the side that he hadn't really felt the fear of the end of the world. He wanted to go to the mud pond to catch loaches rather than go to the ground to pick up vegetables. Obviously, the latter was more fun.
"Get out of your ass, be careful I beat you."
The culprit of Chi Da made a beating move towards his son. Chi Shengli shrank his shoulders aggrievedly. Yu Guang quietly glared at Jiang Liu. He really was a nuisance. He robbed him of his sister when he was a child. The bad old man he will rob.
Pity him, this little cabbage, which is not much different from those dried vegetables in the field.
*****
At this time, there were many people catching loach in the pond. The water in the paddy field had almost evaporated today, and the slightly moist pond mud was exposed to everyone's eyes. The people who grew up in the countryside were all good at catching loach. Aiming at the small hole in the mud pile, usually a hoe goes down, and the shadow of the loach can be seen.
Catching loach relies on eyesight and hands. Jiang Liu has the experience of the original body, plus his own experience in catching loach. After passing the initial rusty period, he quickly got started. In just ten minutes Time to catch three large loach and some small loach.
In comparison, Chi Ruoyu can't do it. She has never caught a loach since she moved to the city. In addition, when she was a child, she also made soy sauce beside the original body. Now she is foolishly holding a hoe in the mud of the pond. Swinging wildly, I saw the loach several times, and even scared the loach away.
"Take it, I will cook the loach for you to eat later."
Jiang Liu couldn't see, so he aggressively handed the bucket beside him to Chi Ruoyu, and asked her to obediently watch the loach in the bucket.
"Leave a few to keep, and eat loach and tofu tomorrow."
Chi Ruoyu was not angry, took the bucket and started ordering dishes.
"Ruoyu."
Chi Ruojin, who was not far away, frowned. Her sister and Jiang Liu seemed to be too close. They hadn't seen each other for five years, and there was no contact in the middle of the journey. Who knows what Jiang Liu has experienced in the past five years, is it still in the past? What about her.
"Sister, it's okay, he's brother Xiaoliu."
For Chi Ruojin, Jiang Liu was a stranger whom he hadn't seen in thirteen years, but for Chi Ruoyu, Jiang Liu was only separated from her for five years, or she was on the verge of death except her parents and sisters. people.
"good."
Jiang Liu caught another fat loach. He threw the loach into the bucket, and then tapped the tip of the little girl's nose with his hand. Feelings will be precious and unforgettable.
Chi Ruoyu smiled at Jiang Liu, but she didn't know that because of Jiang Liu's movements, there was an extra mass of mud on the tip of her nose, and her round little face became more and more sweet.
"Sister, look, Brother Xiaoliu is amazing."
The more and more Chi Ruoyu shouted, the more smooth her mouth became. She showed off in front of her sister with a bucket containing a small half-bucket of loach. These loach are enough to make delicious food.
Chi Ruojin's expression became more and more serious and condensed, which was exactly the same as her ability.
"Pfft-"
A hoe shoveled out a piece of silt. Chi Ruojin saw a fat loach digging into a deeper hole with sharp eyes. She reached out and grabbed it, but it was a pity that the loach was too slippery to catch the loach without sufficient skills. Chi Ruojin could only watch the loach disappear.
So angry!
Seeing the stark contrast between the few loaches as thick as little fingers in his bucket and the pile of loaches caught by Jiang Liu in his sister's hand, Chi Ruojin's mood became worse.
It's better than killing zombies!
Thinking about the skills she has developed in the last eight years, it is really better than killing zombies. Jiang Liu will definitely not be able to match her. At that time, the eyes of her sister's worship will naturally fall on her, and her sister will understand that it is better than being good-looking. A little bamboo horse with a sweet mouth who can catch a few loaches is not comparable to the brave and fearless elder sister.
It's a pity that there seems to be no zombies in this world.
No, nothing to be sorry about.
Chi Ruojin pursed her lips. Compared with the dirty and terrible things like zombies, it is obvious that the end of the world is more gentle, at least it seems that way now.
She didn't want her sister to experience the chaos and displacement of the zombie apocalypse like her, and finally stabilized in a safe area, but she still had to face the possibility of zombie siege and the possibility of the safe area falling.
The hoe in Chi Ruojin's hand was heavily stuck in the mud pond, as if she cut off the heads of those zombies in the last life.
Fortunately, there are no zombies in this world.
"Ah-"
Jiang Liu rubbed his nose, as if he had caught a cold.
Strange, do zombies catch colds too
He shook his head. Now is not the time to think about it. It is serious business to catch more loach to atone for the sin of roasting chicken.
