Chapter Seventy-Three: The Clothed Tomb
Half an hour later, the two buckets of water that Hou Xunwen was carrying were all used up, and today's reinforcement work was finally completed.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Su Ziyan squinted at her masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.
This row of pale blue ice winds through the mountains and forests like a long dragon, giving her a great sense of accomplishment. Looking at the two green pines raised on the mountain in the distance, like the two horns of an ice dragon, she turned back to everyone with a smile on her face.
Next, a few people began to return home, and the return speed was very fast, and it took less than half an hour to return to the forest farm activity area.
At this time, the forest farm had been completely protected with wood, and through a heavy openable gate, Su Ziyan and several people entered inside.
After a while, Su Ziling greeted her, looked at her sister with a trace of sweat on her face, and said, "Sister, the hot water has been boiled, you guys go and wash up, and the second grandfather will take us to the inauguration ceremony of the mound later!" ”
Su Ziyan nodded when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Isn't there still more than an hour to go?" ”
A mound of clothes, or a mound of clothes, refers to a grave in which the clothes of the deceased are buried without the body of the deceased. According to the tradition of entering the earth for peace, these dead are to be buried, but in fact, the corpses of the vast majority of the dead are incomplete, or their bodies cannot be found at all, so everyone decided to build a clothing mound after discussion.
"It's still an hour, but everyone is ready, just a few of you, sister!" Su Ziling crossed her waist with one hand and quickly took the rifle she straddled her waist from Su Ziyan's hand.
Then he pushed Su Ziyan and said, "Hurry up, you go take a bath!" ”
"Okay, okay, don't push, I'll go myself! How much time can it take to take a shower? Su Ziyan muttered, she didn't think it would take long to take a shower.
Looking back at the people who had gathered not far away, it seemed that all the preparations had been made, Su Ziyan nodded to her sister, and then walked towards her residence.
Today, there are a total of 82 people living in the forest farm, and most of these people live in temporary shelters converted from nearly 600 square meters of work sheds. As for some people, such as Su Ziyan, Su Ziling, and several younger girls among the survivors, they were arranged to live in the two-story building of the forest farm for privacy and safety reasons.
The first floor of the building is a cafeteria and several offices, and the second floor was originally a place for stacking chainsaws, cables, and other equipment.
……
After saying goodbye to her sister, Su Ziyan walked up the narrow staircase to the second floor, and the scene that caught her eye in the next second showed a somewhat helpless expression on her face.
This is the first time she has lived with so many women, but the sight in front of her shatters the longing and yearning she once had as a "man", and she is greatly disappointed.
The imaginary world of flowers and flowers does not exist! It was probably just an excessive brain supplement from the literati who seemed to have a pain in the egg and didn't have the opportunity to come to the Holy Land in person, the real situation may be beyond imagination, at least Su Ziyan's fantasy had collapsed with her move-in.
The second floor is an all-access room, with bamboo poles erected in the middle after temporary cleaning, and separated by plastic canvas on the construction floor, barely forming a relatively simple "snail dwelling".
At this time, what Su Ziyan saw in front of her was just an "illegal building" like a shantytown, and even worse than the shantytown.
Messy and disorderly, it's no longer enough to describe the state of the place, the space is small, and clothes are drying everywhere, including women's panties and bras, which at first glance look very messy.
This is probably the embodiment of people abandoning the traditional material aesthetics after the end of the world, Su Ziyan sighed, thinking that when she lived here for the first time, she saw this row of colorful clothes, her heart was beating uncontrollably, and her eyes were full of timidity, as if she was a thief, she kept dodging, and now that she thinks about it, she is so young.
Just as the so-called gods have faded their divinity, and the so-called holy objects have faded their aura, even the things worn by the most holy people are essentially no different from ordinary strips of cloth.
At least in Su Ziyan's eyes now, what she sees in front of her eyes is really just strips of cloth.
Reaching out and picking up the clothes hanging on the bamboo poles, Su Ziyan went straight to her own area on the inside of the "shantytown".
"Hey, Zijia, haven't you gone down yet?" When Su Ziyan approached, she found that Su Zijia was still on it.
This Su Zijia is still relatively lucky, she is the only daughter in the family, her father is on a business trip all the year round, so she follows her mother. This time the virus broke out, and she and her mother were lucky enough to save their lives. Right now, she and her mother live on her side.
At this time, Su Zijia happened to be changing clothes after taking a shower, and when she took off her coat, she revealed her white body and was wiping her wet hair with a towel.
Although she is still wearing underwear, it is not difficult to find that her figure is not badly developed, her waist is quite shapely, and her delicate little belly has an urge to step forward and touch it, as for her height, she is not much worse than Su Ziyan, but she is a little thin and has a small breasts, which has reduced her a lot of points, I am afraid that she is not as good as her sister.
Su Ziyan glanced at her, shook her head, and suddenly found that her behavior of doing cheap things under the disguise of her appearance was a bit despicable, but for some reason, although she knew that her behavior was despicable, she felt very emotional in her heart, she could look at the other party's body so openly and not be disgusted, which could probably be regarded as a small benefit after the transformation.
"Ah, Sister Ziyan, I'll go down after I change my clothes!"
Su Zijia saw that it was Su Ziyan who came up, and said politely.
In the past ten days, Su Ziyan's status in the team has been slowly shaped, take Su Zijia as an example, she admires Su Ziyan very much, and when she saw her coming up, she hurriedly turned around and said.
After speaking, he didn't care about the other party's eyes that looked at him, and picked up the clothes on the side in front of Su Ziyan and put them on. Su Ziyan was so angry that she had big white legs, and she didn't know that she was showing her welfare.
This is probably the unknown "generation gap", maybe in Su Zijia's eyes, his behavior is a normal thing, after all, in terms of figure, Su Ziyan's figure is much better than herself, and it is not her turn to show her benefits! Su Zijia would never have thought that what Su Ziyan's gorgeous body hides is the soul of an ordinary woman.
Su Ziyan nodded lightly, she has seen a lot of such scenes in the past few days, and she has experienced a lot, so she has lost the excitement at the beginning. At least there is a lot less freshness, the woman's body is not like that, it is nothing more than two more lumps of flesh on her chest, and she secretly hypnotizes herself.
"By the way, Zijia, no one should be using the bathing place now, right?" Looking away from her, Su Ziyan squatted down and pulled out her suitcase, rummaging through it for a while.
"Well, I just ran out of it, and it's empty now!"
After Su Zijia finished dressing, she climbed into her bed to make it up, and threw the changed clothes into the bucket on the side.
Oh, took out a change of clothes from the suitcase, said hello to Su Zijia, and Su Ziyan went to the bathing place.
The bathhouse is built temporarily, and the men's and women's bathhouses are set up separately, and the women's bathhouse is at the back of the two-story building, and you can go down the stairs.
The structure is so simple that it can even be called shabby and shabby - two large buckets for hot and cold water, a gourd scoop, two small wooden barrels for bathing, a small bench, and then soap and shampoo for bathing, and so on, and nothing else. The shed itself is fitted with a door that can be locked from the inside, and the canvas is wrapped around it, and it's as simple as that.
Su Ziyan went inside and found that the hot water was indeed ready, nodded and put the change of clothes aside, Su Ziyan took off her clothes and pants, and took a towel to scrub it.
There is no discomfort due to the lack of shower gel, and this soap is the same, anyway, Su Ziyan didn't feel any difference when she used it, she was not picky about this aspect.
Sitting on the small bench, after drenching the water crown a few times, Su Ziyan stretched her feet into the wooden bucket, bowed her body comfortably and kneaded her feet and calves, and then knocked her elastic thighs a few times to relieve the fatigue caused by walking.
After a while, I felt that it was not too early, so I picked up a dry towel and dried myself.
Raising her hand and sniffing, Su Ziyan smiled, returned to the residence to change her clothes, and went to Su Ziling's side.
……
The establishment of the mound was proposed by a few old men, and of course Su Ziyan did not object.
In fact, it is a bit unworthy of the name to say that it is a well-dressed mound, because the events at that time happened too suddenly, so that everyone was completely unprepared, and there are not many deceased who can find objects before their deaths.
This mound is more appropriate to say that it is a tomb in a collective sense, and it can be regarded as an account of the living to the dead.
At this time, in the northwest corner of the forest farm, everyone gathered in a solemn atmosphere.
On the hill, a row of white spirit flags hunt and flutter in the air against the wind.
In front of everyone, a raised earthen bag has been inserted with dozens of bamboo sticks, the middle two bamboo sticks are the largest, with the words: "Sujiakou Village Clothes Crown" and "Liaoxi Village Clothes Tomb" several big characters, and the rest of the dozens of bamboo sticks also have corresponding names, these are made by the survivors themselves, talk about sustenance.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and although the sun was shining, there were also a few dark clouds, and it looked like it was about to rain.
It is said that this is the auspicious time that the second grandfather determined after researching, anyway, Su Ziyan didn't understand this, so she only followed everyone to participate in the ceremony.
Su Ziyan stood at the front of the team, and after listening to Su Wuxiang's babbled words with a solemn face, the inauguration ceremony of the mound ended, and then everyone stepped forward in turn and kowtowed to their relatives.
When it was Su Ziyan and Su Ziling's turn, the two of them also knelt down together, although it was only a symbolic kneeling, but in her mind, she remembered her mother, who was very likely to have become a zombie, Su Ziyan couldn't help but really feel a sense of sadness, and her face became sad for a while.
And Su Ziling was about the same at the moment, and the two of them kowtowed their heads to the mound in unison.
Su Wuxiang stood behind him and watched the actions of the two, and sighed in his heart, thinking how good it would be for Ziyan to be here, and the brothers and sisters were together, which could be regarded as taking care of them.
