Chapter 33: Duel
The lack of supplies also affected life in the villa.
Although there are generators and water towers here, after the water and power outages, everyone is very energy-saving, they can not turn on the lights, they are ready to go to bed as soon as the sun sets, and they can barely wipe their bodies with wet towels when they take a bath, and the fuel and water reserves of the generators can be saved as much as possible; Eating has also been changed to a two-meal system, one in the morning and one in the evening, which is better than nothing, but this kind of life is longed for by many refugees and cannot be obtained by many refugees.
"You're back? How did you ...... so fast?"
Yun Qi, Xia Xiyue and Lin Yue walked back to the living room of the villa from the attached garage room, and saw Lin Xinrui, Zhao Chun and his family chatting on the sofa.
Some were surprised that the three people who said that they were going to find supplies actually followed them back immediately, and they wanted to ask, but Lin Xinrui was stunned, and the atmosphere seemed to be ...... A little off.
Lin Yue rolled her eyes and followed behind, Xia Xiyue supported Yun Qi who didn't need her help as usual, Yun Qi also let Xia Xiyue lead her away, but I don't know why, both of them looked to the side, looked around, and just didn't look at each other.
"You quarreled?" Zhao Chun also tilted his head and asked, Xia Xiyue and Yun Qi have an unusually good relationship, as long as anyone with eyes can see it, so Zhao Chun also noticed that something was wrong, but he asked directly. "What's going on?"
"It's your business." "It's none of your business."
Yun Qi and Xia Xiyue replied almost at the same time, the two glanced at each other again, Yun Qi immediately snorted and turned his head, Xia Xiyue looked at Yun Qi like this, although she was silent, she also turned her head and ignored each other.
There is something strange about this attitude.
"Uh...... Shall you sit down first? Lin Yang was preparing dinner. Lin Xinrui was even more keenly aware that Yun Qi and Xia Xiyue both had several red dots on their necks inexplicably, but of course she pretended not to see them. Let's wait here first, and by the way, listen to Zhao Chun introduce his family, and at the same time discuss the distribution of life. ”
The host's speech eased the awkward atmosphere, Lin Yue immediately volunteered to go to the kitchen to help her brother cook, Xia Xiyue helped Yun Qi to sit down on the empty sofa next to her, perhaps out of habit, she then got up and came back with two more cups, and poured a glass of water for herself and Yun Qi.
Yun Qi didn't shirk either, she was feeling thirsty after arguing for a while, and she took the cup like Xia Xiyue and drank it; Feeling that it was not enough, she picked up the kettle on the table and helped Xia Xiyue fill it with water, but when she wanted to pour it for herself, she found it empty.
Yun Qi frowned, there is an unwritten rule, this eight-liter stainless steel kettle is the amount of drinking water for everyone in a day, and if there is no one, you can only endure it until tomorrow. But before going out, she also took the kettle, and there was at least three-quarters of the amount in it, even if Lin Xinrui and the others were tired when they came back, it was impossible to drink five or six liters of water in an instant, right?
Seeing Yun Qi staring at the kettle suspiciously, Zhao Chun's mother lowered her head in embarrassment. As soon as they returned to the villa, Zhao Chun's two younger brothers picked up the kettle and poured tea desperately, as if they wanted to drink everything they hadn't drunk in the past few days, and Zhao Chun was discussing with Lin Xinrui, and she felt sorry for the child and didn't stop it, so Yun Qi emptied the teapot now.
"Uh......" Lin Xinrui and Zhao Chun were also stunned, but Lin Xinrui immediately reacted and said. Let's fill half a pot of water, there are many people now, and we should drink more. ”
"No, the rule is that you can only drink so much water a day." Although he was thirsty, Yun Qi was not stupid, "We don't have much water to store, and casual consumption will only make everyone have no water to drink." ”
After speaking, she took a special look at Zhao Chun's mother.
The latter shrank up, as if he understood what Yun Qi meant, and nodded slightly.
“………… Since you say so, forget it. ”
Lin Xinrui and Zhao Chun both seemed to sense something, but since Yun Qi had made a decision, forget it.
In the campus before, it was Yun Qi who first slowed down the door and let them escape into the welfare club, and climbed to the top floor to open the door to get rid of the zombie group, although Xia Xiyue was very strong, but Yun Qi was an important reason for the four of them to live, so her words also carried a lot of weight in the hearts of the two.
After that, while eating a simple dinner, everyone listened to Lin Xinrui talk about the rules of life, such as turning off the lights, saving water, wiping baths and eating time (most of them were told to Zhao Chun and others).
Zhao Chun's two younger brothers are a national second, a junior fourth, the second national is Zhao Mu, the fourth is called Zhao Jiang, plus Aunt Zhao and Zhao Chun, there are four more people to eat and sleep, so Lin Xinrui had no choice but to notify her grandfather.
Fortunately, the old man was also a grateful person, because Zhao Chun had helped Lin Xinrui get out, and he simply promised to send more food, but he could only sleep on the sofa in the living room - unless the four of them didn't mind the bloodstained room and bed.
Obviously, they minded, but fortunately, there were plenty of quilts and pillows, plus they could eat and drink, even if they couldn't sleep in the bed, the four of them had no objection.
But it is not without benefit to accept the four. Aunt Zhao worked as a farmer when she was a child, and even if she later lived in the city, she liked to grow some simple herbs or vegetables on the balcony, and she actually carried some easy-to-grow vegetable seeds with her. With the garden outside the villa, it is easy to make a vegetable garden, and there is no need for Lin Xinrui and others to bother.
******************
After eating dinner and discussing the aftermath, Yun Qi and Xia Xiyue returned to the room.
The two haven't said a word to each other since they got out of the car, but their behavior is no different from usual, they will help each other pour water and vegetables, and even take and hand over items, Xia Xiyue also used herself as Yunqi's crutch from beginning to end.
To be honest, it's very abrupt to see in front of outsiders.
is obviously in a good relationship, so good that Cheng Dù knows what the other party needs without talking, but the two have never looked at each other from beginning to end, as long as they look at each other, they must snort coldly and look away; But if you want to talk about temper tantrums, will quarrelsome people still help each other like this?
Yun Qi didn't want to help Xia Xiyue pour water, but first, it was difficult to change her habits, and second, Xia Xiyue helped herself first, didn't she repay her words? Moreover, she really couldn't figure out what was going on between herself and Xia Xiyue, it seemed that since she liked this friend, many things had changed, and she couldn't think the way she used to be.
She thought about it later, and felt that Xia Xiyue probably couldn't accept the matter of killing people and eating corpses for a while, so she would be bored and irritable, and the two would quarrel in the car, give her a few days, and she would calm down on her own when she figured it out.
But Yunqi just couldn't accept Xia Xiyue's attitude towards her, when she thought of Xia Xiyue's cold appearance, she began to feel uncomfortable, and even impulsively wanted to arrest Xia Xiyue and force her to look at her.
Yun Qi also wants to reconcile with Xia Xiyue, the problem is that this kind of conceptual impact cannot be digested in a moment and a half, Xia Xiyue's personality is a donkey, and the stubborn Cheng Dù is not inferior to her force. Yun Qi thought of several ways that it was not feasible, and it was impossible to bow his head and apologize, because Xia Xiyue was now a super low pressure, and apologizing could at best cure the symptoms, not the root cause - unless Yun Qi had a way to make his friends instantly agree that eating human flesh was nothing under extreme hunger.
But I can't agree that the two will quarrel...... Yun Qi got more and more headaches.
Feeling uncomfortable with this attitude, and unable to think of a way to change, she almost wanted to knock Xia Xiyue out and push her, although it would be embarrassing for a while, but it was better than a cold war like now...... But she immediately calmed down again, not to mention that she would only be knocked unconscious by Xia Xiyue in the end, after getting along for the past few days, Yun Qi planned to bury the throbbing in her heart to the depths, at most before she died.
If it was possible for the two to be happy, of course Yun Qi would try, but unfortunately, under the tapping on her side, Xia Xiyue didn't have that kind of affection for herself at all, kissing...... can only say that his friend is too simple, he can't tell the difference between jokes and truth, and he jokes about it, if he doesn't die, he won't die.
Back to the current situation, how to reconcile with Xia Xiyue has become Yun Qi's biggest problem at present, and when thousands of thoughts came to her mind, Xia Xiyue had already pulled her own quilt and pillow from the bed to the ground, obviously planning to sleep in separate beds.
This Yun Qi couldn't tolerate it, she was used to sleeping with Xia Xiyue in her arms - of course, she wouldn't say it to death. Without Xia Xiyue to hug, not only is there less security, more loneliness, but also some weird dreams; So she subconsciously stepped forward to stop her.
Xia Xiyue stopped her movements and looked at the hand that grabbed her wrist. Yun Qi knew that Xia Xiyue was waiting for her to speak, but she ...... She didn't know what to say, this quarrel involved ideas, and it wasn't enough to apologize, but she wasn't sure how to convince her friends who were as stubborn as stones.
Seeing that Yun Qi was silent for a long time, Xia Xiyue didn't wait for her, and continued to sort out the quilt on the ground after pulling her hand, no matter how Yun Qi pulled her, as long as she didn't speak, Xia Xiyue would not respond, and she would continue to do what she was doing after getting out easily.
This made Yun Qi very anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more his head went blank.
It's also dark outside, it's dusk now, and soon the sun will go down, and when the night comes, Yun Qi will be even more helpless, even if Xia Xiyue touches it by herself after falling asleep, with her friend's stubbornness, she will definitely leave directly.
"Xiao Xi......" Yun Qi thought desperately, how to make Xia Xiyue obedient in the shortest way? It's impossible to preach, but—"...... Come, come to the duel! ”
“……… Ha? ”
"If you win, I will accept what you say, go back immediately to stop those old people, and I will also find a way to intervene to improve the problem of refugees eating corpses." Seeing Xia Xiyue frowning, Yun Qi hurriedly said. "If you lose, don't worry about this kind of thing in the future, and don't take it to heart...... Whoever is powerful will listen to whomever it is, how? ”
“…… How to compare? Xia Xiyue hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to Yun Qi's proposal. Kickboxing? I let you have two legs and one hand. ”
"Don't." Yun Qi immediately refused, even if Xia Xiyue stood still, she could knock her down with one hand, and she was stupid to play martial arts with her. “…… Play chess? Or playing cards? ”
"No, you're going to win." Xia Xiyue replied quickly, and it could be seen that Yun Qi had suffered a lot in this regard before.
“…… Guess the box? ”
"Childish."
“…… Drawing? ”
"Nerves." Xia Xiyue's gaze at Yun Qi became colder and colder, "If you can't think of a reasonable and fair way, don't compare." ”
"I want you to refuse anything, then you think!"
"Of course you want to propose."
"I ........." the corners of Yun Qi's mouth twitched, Xia Xiyue has an absolute advantage in physical fitness, and she won't agree to it even if she knows that she will lose, it's too ridiculous than luck, that-"Or...... Than, more than kissing! ”
"............" Hearing Yun Qi's proposal, Xia Xiyue first raised her eyebrows, and then showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, "Okay?" Your lung capacity is so poor. ”
"Kissing is not to suffocate the other party even if you win, you have to make the other party feel happy, pleasure, do you understand?" Yun Qi took a step back vigilantly, "Let's talk about the rules first, and then find the referee." ”
"You say."
"That's the referee this time...... Let's find a senpai. Yun Qi didn't know how she thought of this, but as soon as she said it, she thought of a way to definitely win and take revenge on someone, you know, she always remembered the revenge when she was pressed against the wall and kissed for an hour! Let's go to kiss the senior sister, one person has one chance, and the senior sister thinks whoever has good kissing skills will win! ”
