Chapter 42
87_87180The car drove along the country road for less than two hours, and soon saw a village not far away through the bare fields.
The whole village was silent, there was not a single person in sight, and the sound of cars moving was particularly distinct here.
Immediately afterwards, a few zombies who heard the sound staggered over, and the curtain on the second floor of a small farmhouse not far away swayed, and someone could be seen peeping in the back, the two ignored these, and casually found a single-family house near the entrance of the village, drove the car into the yard, turned off the engine and got out of the car.
"There shouldn't be anyone." Lin An glanced into the courtyard through the car window, shook his head, and got out of the car with Huo Cheng.
The two zombies lingering in the courtyard rushed over when they heard the sound and were quickly disposed of one by one. Lin An returned and locked the courtyard door casually, and Huo Cheng and Huo Cheng carried weapons one after the other and pushed open the door of the second floor of the farmhouse.
"Ho!" A thin old zombie pounced from the living room, Huo Cheng staggered, and the axe fell on the side of the zombie, and the zombie's skull rolled on the ground.
Lin An simply followed behind, dug out the crystal nucleus in the zombie's head, wrapped it in toilet paper and put it in the backpack.
Stock up all the time.
Huo Cheng walked in front, a smile crossed his eyes.
It's a family of three, a young couple and an old man, all turned into zombies, and there are family photos of the family hanging in the living room. The two walked through the upstairs and downstairs rooms, and sure enough, there were no more zombies, so they completely relaxed.
After this afternoon, both of them were a little tired, and even Huo Cheng, who was usually not in good health, felt a little tired now.
Huo Cheng entered the bathroom on the first floor and tried to turn on the shower, and the clear and warm water came out with water vapor all at once. In this rural area, small water towers are installed on the roofs of houses to store water and bathe in the sun during the day.
Lin An's eyes lit up when he came in, since the water in Jinshi was stopped, he had never been dipped in water since he could rinse his mouth with mineral water every morning and evening, wipe his face with a wet towel and wake up. Even though it's autumn, people don't like to sweat much, and he still feels uncomfortable after not taking a shower for so many days.
Their conditions are actually good, and there is water to wash simply, many people do not bring enough supplies, and even drink water is carefully calculated.
"You wash first." At this time, Huo Cheng hesitated and simply closed the door and went out, and he didn't think about what if the water in the water tower was only enough for one person to wash.
In his heart, he had already put Lin An in a position that was different from half of his partners and friends, and he should have thought that he was going to let him.
Lin An kept it in his heart, and it was beautiful. Generally, a person who lacks love will pay special attention to the good of others.
didn't notice that the bathroom door was frosted, Lin Xiaoan quickly took off his clothes, opened the shower and rushed up. Men don't like to grind in the bath, so they squeezed shampoo from the side shelf and rubbed their hair after a few showers, and beat their bodies with soap again and again while flushing the foam.
Lin An washed carefully, rubbed his arms and legs, and took care of himself with hot water and soap, and the man standing in the shadow of the bathroom entrance also looked serious with a frank face. The body swayed slightly with the movements, the tall and thin figure, the two long legs were long and straight, and the color should be whiter than the face, and the flesh and bones were well-proportioned and elastic.
The vague shadow hits the frosted door through the water vapor, and the thin place can be grabbed by one arm, flat and tight, without a little fat, and the place where there should be meat is also wonderfully raised, round, very cute
Huo Cheng touched his nose, felt a little dizzy, and silently leaned against the wall next to the entrance to wake up.
"Brother, help me get two clean clothes from the car, I forgot to take them, oh yes, I want underwear too, just put them in the clothes bag." The people in the bathroom shouted loudly through the sound of the water, probably afraid that people would not hear it in the living room, and they had never thought that people were outside the door.
Huo Cheng wisely didn't respond, walked away silently, answered in the living room, and after a while, knocked on the door as if nothing happened, and handed over the clothes from the half-open door. His fingers passed through the warm water vapor and happened to touch the young man's slippery arm, and as if he had inadvertently paused, he slid over the arm and shoved something into the young man's hand.
"It's pretty fast." Lin An was squinted by the foam flowing from his head, fumbled and took the clothes and put them on the washing machine next to him, forgot to close the door, and ran back to flush his hair barefoot.
Huo Cheng stood silently outside the half-open door, paused for about half a minute, and saw that Lin An was about to dry his hair before leaving quietly.
"Brother, you're still here, rub my back, brother? Let's go" Lin An called twice, but no one answered, so he had to mumble that he was able to rub his back.
How can you rub it yourself with the help of others.
And Huo Cheng, who thought he had taken a big advantage and secretly left, never knew what beautiful errand he had missed.
The family was infected with the virus at the beginning of the apocalypse, and the stored water did not have time to be consumed, and when Lin An finished washing, the shower could still spray a strong flow of water. Huo Cheng took the clean clothes and passed by the fragrant young man, his expression was serious, and his heart couldn't help but start to stir again.
Helplessly, he himself knew that now was not the time to scare Lin An, so he had to silently close the door and rush to the half-lukewarm water to appease the half-raised brother. His gaze swirled over the translucent matte door of the restroom, and he quickly and regretfully retracted it.
What do you think, Lin An is not the kind of person who can peep at all.
Of course Lin An is not this kind of person, he has never had the crooked idea of peeping at other people's baths, he took a clean bath by himself, he was relaxed, he was in a good mood and touched the kitchen, and shouted: "Brother, you wash slowly, I'll go get some food." β
Huo Cheng sighed, regretfully shifting his gaze to the soap rack next to the shower, where a wet and foamy soap was lying
Another advantage of rural areas is that there is no unified gas pipeline, and a gas stove can be placed in the kitchen with better conditions, which can be used when opened, and there is no need to worry about gas outages.
The things in this kitchen really didn't have time to consume, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were complete, the rice bowl and noodle jar were still half full, there was a pickle jar and a salted duck egg jar under the stove, and some of the dishes placed next to it were rotten, Lin An didn't care, and took advantage of Huo Cheng's bath to find out two cabbages, a few potatoes and a dozen eggs from the space.
These are dishes that can be stored for a long time, stewed in a pot who can see that the new is not fresh.
Dangdang, the kitchen knife moved quickly on the cutting board, the potatoes were peeled and cut into evenly sized pieces, the cabbage was slightly washed with water, and the leaves were torn off and sliced. Lin An rummaged through the space and pulled out bacon and sausages that were not easy to make people suspicious.
It's all things on the supermarket shelves, made out by the factory, and the taste is not as fragrant as home-made in ordinary times, but it is a rare delicacy now.
Slice the bacon, open the gas valve, use a lighter to start the fire, pour oil on the iron pot, slice the onion and garlic into the pot, and after a stinging smoke, the fragrance of the onion and garlic will come out. Add cooking wine, soy sauce, and bacon slices to fry a little, and the aroma of oil mixed with meat will come out for a while.
Lin An swallowed his saliva unconsciously, he hadn't had a serious meal for a few days. The subordinates kept putting down the potatoes and cabbage strips, stir-fried them a few times, added water and salt, covered the pot with low heat, and slowly grunted.
With this effort, Lin An scooped a few large spoonfuls of flour into the basin, added mineral water little by little and stirred it with his hands, stirred it in one direction for a while, slowly kneaded the gnocchi into a dough, and the noodles on his hands were all sticky, and after kneading for a while, the surface of the dough was slippery, so he put it in the basin and woke up for a few minutes.
The kitchen, which had been cold for a long time, was steaming again because of the stranger's temporary rest, and pots were set up on both stoves of the gas stove, and the iron pot was covered with lids, and the sound of gurgling sounded from the pot. The bottom of the frying pan is smeared with a layer of oil, and the rolled dough crust is kneaded with sesame oil and chopped green onions, and put it into the hot oil pan to make a crackling sound.
The crust bubbled up and was quickly turned over by the shovel, and one side was a beautiful golden brown.
Lin An picked up the formed pie crust with chopsticks, poured an egg into it neatly with his hands and feet, and fried it repeatedly, and the egg scones that were not so full of process were shoveled into the plate, and then one after another, and soon stacked a high stack on the plate.
At the end, there were still two eggs left on the board, and there was only one pie crust left, so Lin An simply poured a double egg into the last cake. The skin is golden and crispy, the inside is soft and hot, and the tender two eggs make the cake dough full, making people want to swallow saliva when they look at it.
Especially after a day of travel, the two of them relied on mineral water and biscuits and bread at noon, and did not eat dinner, and their stomachs were hungry.
Huo Cheng finished taking a bath, and he didn't know when he came to the kitchen, and he didn't squeak, just leaning against the door, seeing that the young man inside was busy, and Yan SΓΉ, who had always loved it, seemed to be steaming by the heat of the kitchen, and turned into a soft.
No one can be like Lin An, just a simple meal can give people an indescribable sense of steadiness, as if life is only called a day when it is lived with the person in front of him.
Lin An knew that he was coming, and he didn't look back, while bending down to take out the salted duck egg jar from under the stove, reaching out and taking out the duck eggs covered with grass ash and mud from it and putting them in the water basin on the side, while saying, "Brother, you bring the food out first, and I'll cut a salted duck egg." β
"Hmm." Huo Cheng stepped forward, his eyes seemed to be absent, and he paused for a few seconds on his bent waist and backward buttocks, and then went out with pancakes and prepared dishes.
Lin An'an was taken advantage of, straightened up, washed the salted duck eggs, and cut them in half on the board, and was happy. The color of the salted duck egg yolk is called one, and the top is oily. The duck eggs made by the farmer are better than those bought in the vegetable market, and he likes to eat them the most, and it is better to take them out and fry the beans.
But now he didn't have beans, and he didn't bother to add more vegetables, so he had to swallow his saliva.
After a long time on the road, it is a pleasure to be able to take a good shower, eat a hot meal and get a good night's sleep. At the dinner table, the two old men didn't have the heart to say a word of nonsense, and tacitly picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The double egg cake on the top layer of the plate had just come out of the pot, and it was when the outside was charred and the inside was tender and bulging, and the two pairs of chopsticks stopped on it.
Lin An raised his head, and after meeting Huo Cheng's eyes, he suddenly understood what the other party meant. He raised his eyebrows, and as soon as he used his chopsticks to catch the cake one step ahead of Huo Cheng, he threw it into his bowl.
"Eat quickly."
"It's all in your bowl, don't clip it back!" Facing Huo Cheng's disapproving look, seeing that the chopsticks in the other party's hand were about to move, Lin An immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at him: "What?" I'm not going to give you a lot to eat? β
You clamped it for me, how could it not be rare Huo Cheng silently lowered his head and took a big bite of the double egg cake in the bowl, and his heart was warm.
Hmph, it's pretty much the same, isn't it just a piece of cake, let me be an outsider!
Lin An saw that the other party was eating deliciously, and muttered with satisfaction in his heart, he also took a big bite of the cake, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, and ate two points more than usual in one meal. This amount of food, that is, he has enough material confidence in the space, otherwise ordinary people really can't afford it.
Someone to accompany you to eat is fragrant
