12. Chapter XII
By the time their white car drove into Liujia Village, it was already afternoon. The sky overhead became unusually dark, and it was estimated that it would not be long before another rainstorm suddenly fell.
"Da Zhuang, they are back, I just saw Da Zhuang's car drive into the yard of Lao Liu Tou's house" As soon as the car entered the yard, the villagers outside discussed, some said that they returned with a full load, some said that they found nothing, and each had different opinions.
"Brother and sister, they are back, you look at Xiao Zhuang, I'll go and see them" As soon as Huzi's daughter-in-law heard that they were back, she hurriedly ran to Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law and said.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll trouble you to take a look first, Xiao Zhuang, I can't pull away" As soon as she heard that Da Zhuang was back, the woman's tears couldn't help but flow.
"Hey, wait for my good news," Huzi's daughter-in-law said and walked out.
"Xiao Zhuang, your father is back safely, you will be fine," Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law said while changing the towel for the child lying on the bed.
"Da Zhuang, are you all right" Da Zhuang, who was just about to go out, almost bumped into the tiger's daughter-in-law who entered the door.
"Sister-in-law, we're fine" Da Zhuang showed a sincere smile.
"Daughter-in-law, you're here" Huzi saw her daughter-in-law, and the smile on her face was about to bloom.
"Daughter-in-law, it's going to rain this day, Da Zhuang and I will help Miss Tian and them unload their things first, you can help Da Zhuang bring the medicine back to his younger siblings" Huzi looked at the sky, and then said to his daughter-in-law.
"Okay, you guys are busy first, I'll go deliver medicine to my younger brother and sister" Huzi's daughter-in-law glanced enviously at the full carriage, took the backpack containing medicine from Da Zhuang's hand and trotted towards Da Zhuang's house.
Although she did envy those things, she also knew that when she went, Da Zhuang told Huzi that as long as she helped them find medicine, they would not want anything else, and her integrity could not be lost.
"Brother and sister, the medicine is back, feed the child quickly" Before the Huzi daughter-in-law arrived, the voice came in.
When the "good" Da Zhuang daughter-in-law heard that they were back, she prepared the boiling water, and she had been a mother for a few years, and she probably knew what medicine her child needed to take when she had a cold.
While helping, Huzi's daughter-in-law told the big strong daughter-in-law what she had just seen.
"Uncle Liu, you're here, take a look, is there any medicine for fever?" When Huzi's daughter-in-law saw Uncle Liu coming, she hurriedly got up and said, she said to Aunt Liu she met on the way here, but she didn't expect Uncle Liu to come quickly.
"Da Zhuang daughter-in-law, tell me, what medicine did you just feed the child?" Uncle Liu stepped forward and asked, there was a syringe in the backpack, but before the injection, he had to ask what medicine was fed to the child, so that he could adjust the dosage.
"This, this" Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law took out the medicine just now and showed it to Uncle Liu, these were all prescribed by the doctor when Xiao Zhuang was sick before, and she remembered it very clearly.
"Well, yes, I'll give the child a fever injection" Uncle Liu nodded, and then began to look for the medicine he needed in his backpack, he had learned some when he was a soldier, which was not difficult for him.
"I'll give Xiaozhuang another injection before going to bed at night, and the fever should be able to go away tonight," Uncle Liu said and went back without waiting for the two to thank him.
"Miss Tian, this hasn't been moved yet?!" Looking at Tian Ran, who was about to close the door, Da Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Is this what you deserve, or is there less dislike?" Tian Ran turned around, pretended to be angry, looked at the two of them and said, there is a third left in it, which is not less.
"It's not Miss Tian, we said it when we went, as long as we help us find medicine, we don't want anything else, and now we want your things, then are we still human" Da Zhuang said anxiously.
"Yes, Miss Tian, let's move you in," Huzi also said on the side.
"I know, but this is the fuel money and transportation fee for you, if you bother with me again, I will be in a hurry with you" Tian Ran's eyes widened.
"Then thank you Miss Tian and Miss Luo, if there is anything you tell us in the future, we will definitely do it" The two wanted to say no just now, but seeing the expressions of the two, they could only swallow the word no.
"Well, it's been a busy day, you guys go back quickly, we're going to rest too" Tian Ran waved his hand at the two.
"Then we'll go first" The two got into the car and drove back home.
After the car went back, the two opened the door and prepared to move things, but when they looked at the down jacket and quilt inside, the tears almost flowed down the two of them.
"Why did you bring something back?!" As soon as they entered the house, the two women looked at them with disbelief in their eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, here's the thing" Da Zhuang saw that his daughter-in-law was angry, and hurriedly told the truth of the matter.
"They are really good people, if they need help in the future, you must go as soon as possible," the two women said to them in unison.
"Well, that's necessary, but daughter-in-law, can you come out to help, there are still a lot of things outside, it should rain in a while" Da Zhuang said to his daughter-in-law stupidly.
"Then let's go" After speaking, the four of them all walked towards the carriage, looking at the dazzling things inside, the four of them were grateful and at the same time full of smiles, there are many things they have not eaten!
"Today's harvest is really good, leave half of it outside, and you can put the rest of the fat people into the space," Luo Jiujiu said as he looked at the things in the room.
"Hmm" Tian Ran replied and put half of the things into the space, and after going out, the two locked the door, and no one could know how many things were inside.
"It's been too cold these two days, fatty, you go cook, I'll put on a few quilts," Luo Jiujiu said to Tian Ran.
"Cheng, you put it on, so many quilts, you can make two beds and then cover two beds, and experience the treatment of the pea princess" Tian Ran slipped out after speaking, and Luo Jiujiu could even hear Tian Ran's laughter echoing in the stairwell.
As soon as Tian Ran went down, he heard a knock at the door, and walked towards the door while wondering who would knock on the door at this point.
Seeing through the crack in the door that it was Da Zhuang and Huzi, Tian Ran opened the door.
"Miss Tian, this is what our daughter-in-law asked us to send, you must accept it, we don't have any good things in the farmhouse, don't dislike it" After the two finished speaking, they put the things on the ground, and before Tian Ran could speak, they disappeared.
Two slaughtered fat chickens were washed and placed in the basket, and the other basket was full of eggs, why do you say that they are eggs, because they have eggs to bring back today, so they can't take that egg to give away, it's really a light courtesy!
"But tonight's dishes are available" Tian Ran locked the door and walked towards the kitchen with two baskets with a smile.
"Hey, isn't the food in the fat man's space cold? Why does this taste so much like taro chicken, spicy and fragrant" Luo Jiujiu, who was putting on the quilt upstairs, licked his lips, and the speed of putting on the quilt also accelerated a lot.
"This egg is so fragrant" As soon as Luo Jiujiu entered the kitchen, he smelled the smell of scrambled eggs.
"Just now, Brother Zhuang, they sent two chickens and a basket of eggs," Tian Ran pointed to the small clay pot on the side, as well as a few plates of vegetables next to the pot.
"It's too cold, let's eat soup pots" Tian Ran turned off the fire in the earthen stove, and then brought a pot of scrambled eggs.
"It's too much to say, let's eat" Looking at the small clay pot with the aroma of chicken and chili peppers, Luo Jiujiu swallowed his saliva, and the two of them were unusually in tune with eating spicy.
"It's a farmer's chicken, it tastes amazing!" Luo Jiujiu took a bite, it was spicy and salty, and it couldn't stop, and the taro in the pot, the stewed soft glutinous, and the taste of the chicken soup also penetrated in, and it made people hate to swallow it with their tongues.
Tian Ran raised his head and glanced at Luo Jiujiu, did not speak, just silently put the chopsticks into the pot and ate the meat in a big gulp.
While the two were eating, it was raining heavily outside, and the crackling sound was like stones hitting the roof, which was extremely scary.
Uncle Liu stood in the house, looking at the rainstorm outside, his brows furrowed, how could it have rained at this time, it was still so big, and the weather suddenly became cold, this weather was weird!
After eating, Tian Ran and Luo Jiujiu wore a down jacket alone, and disappeared for a walk on the roof, such a heavy rain, it is difficult to go out for a walk, but fortunately, a layer of color steel is erected on the roof of this house, and this bit of rain can still be blocked, but the sound of rain falling on it is too noisy.
"Fatty, you said it's only been a few days, and the weather has become like winter, do you think it will be colder in the future?" Luo Jiujiu said as he looked at the gray and oppressive sky.
"Hanging, it's so cold now, it will only be colder later" Tian Ran remembered what he said in the novel, it was very cold, and even the zombies were so cold that it was almost impossible to move.
"You said that it was so cold, would you freeze the zombies to death directly, and next spring will be a beautiful world again," Luo Jiujiu said with a smile.
"You think zombies freeze to death so easily?" Tian Ran looked at Luo Jiujiu with a smile.
"You dead fat man, you can't let me fantasize yet" Luo Jiujiu glared at Tian Ran, she didn't know the tenacious ability of zombies, but compared to zombies, they humans are more tenacious, aren't they!
"Then you continue to fantasize, I won't bother you," Tian Ran finished speaking and went down.
"Wonderful world?! I'm afraid that God will only give you a more cruel world next year! Tian Ran smiled bitterly and returned to the room.
At night, after everyone fell asleep, the sound of the torrential rain falling on the roof became smaller and smaller, and gradually all the sounds disappeared into the dark night.
"Has the rain stopped?" Tian Ran opened his eyes and glanced out, then tightened the quilt and closed his eyes, and the rain stopped the good things in the city.
"Brother Chu, the rain has stopped, but it is colder outside than the rain" Yang Xi tightened his clothes, their car was out of gas, and they could only stay on the halfway, but there was no one, just about to go on foot, they were blocked by the sudden rainstorm, and there was no way but to continue to return to the car and wait for the rainstorm to pass.
"Inform everyone, we're on our way overnight," Lu Chu said as he looked at the snowflakes fluttering and falling outside, his instincts telling him that they couldn't stay here any longer.
This road is built against the mountains, and this afternoon this afternoon this rainstorm is not small, if it snows overnight, then it will be troublesome.
"Are you ready?" Lu Chu said to the people who got out of the car.
"Ready, Brother Chu" The group was carrying a big backpack behind them, and they didn't know what they were carrying in it.
"Go" Lu Chu gave the order, and everyone began to hurry by the light of the flashlight.
"Brother Chu, where's the car?!" Yang Xi reluctantly glanced back, they just didn't want to lose the car, so they took a long detour, but they didn't expect the car to be lost here in the end.
"The village in front is a little tidy, and I'll drive again when I find the gas," Lu Chu glanced at his car, and then said.
"Then let's go" Yang Xi said with a smile, according to their footsteps, they will definitely be able to rush to that village before dawn, and wait for the village to be cleaned up, he must have a hot meal!
A group of nine people, except for Yang Xi, everyone's figure was full of strength at a glance, the cold wind and snow could not stop their pace, and the resolute eyes did not fluctuate at all because of the bad weather.
