With Chu Chen's approval, Ding Ruifeng and his wife stopped talking.

He Rong and He Xing, the two brothers, are not married, and in their family, their mother passed away because she did not survive the sudden sudden drop in temperature a few days ago, leaving only her fifty-eight-year-old father, He Yunfei.

And the two brothers, apparently took the time to talk to their father, after Ding Ruifeng finished speaking, He Yunfei waited for a few seconds, and then with the hoarse voice that the elderly often have, he said: "Boss Chu." ”

Without waiting for He Yunfei to say anything, Chu Chen interrupted him: "Uncle He, I can't help it, you can call me Xiao Chu, Xiao Chen, it's okay." ”

You must know that He Yunfei's family is one of the few who did not come to grab food at the beginning, and Chu Chen still has a good impression of them.

He Yunfei laughed a few times, and continued to speak: "I'll let me call you Xiao Chu, what about me, I can be regarded as an old child, I didn't think about it when I was young, and I only had a child at the age of 34, as a result, my wife gave birth to twins at the age of 33, and her health has not been good after giving birth. ”

He Yunfei said as he spoke, his smile slowly disappeared, and he became a little sad, and said: "My two sons, although they are both 24 years old, they have not experienced the dangers in the world. I see Xiao Chu, you handle things in an orderly manner, treat people with clear grievances, but have good intentions, if you want, I want to hand them over to you. ”

Chu Chen was praised a little happy, but it was not good, in front of the He Bo family who had just left his relatives, he showed it, and glanced at He Rong and He Xing with a more serious face, and when his eyes moved back to He Yunfei's face, he said: "Uncle He is serious, don't worry, I will treat their two brothers well." ”

Although Chu Chen was younger than the two, the two of them seemed very happy, He Yunfei glared at the two with a smile, turned his head to Chu Yi and said: "Haha, Chu Yi, you have raised a good son, my old He, can also be regarded as stained with your light." ”

Chu Yi waved his hand again and again: "Where, where, Old He, you are joking." ”

When only the crackling sound of the fire remained, everyone's eyes drifted to Deng Liang'an, who had not yet spoken, and his wife Hu Li.

Deng Liangan hesitated, his eyes kept wandering, wandering between his grandson Deng Shiliang and the cauldron on the fire.

Hu Li nudged him, and then he slowly spoke: "Boss Chu, when I was young, I was in the field, helping the boss drive, and I traveled for most of my life. ”

After a pause, Deng Liangan wiped the corners of his eyes: "This world has become like this now, and I don't know when I will be able to see my son." ”

Chu Chen nodded, but he didn't care in his heart, you know, when you came to grab food a few days ago, your shouting voice was not light.

Deng Liangan saw Chu Chen nodding and continued: "This rat has grown so much, it must be abnormal, Boss Chu, you said that it is not poisonous, I will definitely believe it, but I am just this grandson, only 5 years old, I dare not let him take this risk, I want a pound of rice, save some cooking porridge for him to eat, he can still have a seven or eight days will not be hungry." ”

Chu Chen was a little annoyed when he heard this, and shouted, "Old Fang? ”

Fang Wei watched Deng Liangan's performance, and he was a little excited, plus Chu Chen changed his name to call him 'Lao Fang' for the first time, he ignored it for a while, and after Miao Chunhua pulled down his sleeves, he reacted, 'Lao Fang' was calling himself, and he was immediately ecstatic, and said excitedly: "Hey, here, Boss Chu, I'm here!" ”

"You go and weigh a pound of rice for him, after waiting for so long, the meat is all boiled, and everyone is in a hurry to eat."

Fang Wei's excitement made Chu Chen want to laugh a little, of course, this did not show on Chu Chen's face.

Hurriedly weighed a pound of rice, Fang Wei handed it over to Deng Liangan, Deng Liangan's wife Hu Li, who had already taken a torch and went downstairs to get a pot and water.

In the pot on the fire, there were two spoons, Jiang Xin took one, and Miao Chunhua took one.

Jiang Xin scooped a bowl first, handed it to Yang Lan with both hands, Yang Lan handed it to Xiao Yang Xin, Jiang Xin smiled on her face, and did not let Yang Xin excuse herself, but asked Yang Xin to thank her grandmother.

Miao Chunhua scooped a bowl and handed it to Chu Yi, Chu Yi was obviously a little embarrassed to receive such special treatment, pushed it a few times, and under Fang Wei's continuous persuasion, he took it into his hand.

Next, Jiang Xin scooped it to Yang Lan again, Yang Lan took it in his hand without pretentiousness, Miao Chunhua scooped it to Chu Chen, and Chu Chen gave it to Uncle He.

In the end, Jiang Xin scooped it to Chu Chen, and when she was about to scoop it to others, she was stopped by Chu Chen, and asked Jiang Xin to scoop a bowl by herself and start eating, giving the spoon to others.

Miao Chunhua and Zhong Han began to slowly scoop a bowl for everyone.

Some of the others didn't care, and some were inexplicable, but Fang Wei wrote it down carefully from beginning to end.

Chu Chen was holding a bowl of broth, but he didn't start eating it immediately, firstly, because Chu Chen was a little bit of a diaphragm for rat meat, and secondly, Chu Chen had his own ideas, he didn't know much about the few people here, and wanted to see how many of them really believed in themselves, and how many of them were forced to eat with him out of desperation.

After all, other people don't know that the end of the world is coming, Chu Chen knows that the end of the world is not just the wind and snow that he sees on the surface, the future, there are more dangers waiting for him, and he wants to find someone who will be loyal to help him do things.

However, except for Deng Liangan and his wife, who didn't eat rat meat with their grandson, everyone else was obviously hungry, including Chu Chen's parents, who hadn't eaten hot food for several days, everyone didn't stop eating, no one paid attention to what Chu Chen was doing, and Chu Chen, who was wasting his expression, was also tempted by the hot rat meat, and began to eat.

For dinner, everyone started at 7 o'clock and made trouble until more than 9 o'clock in the evening, and it was close to 10 o'clock before ending after Chu Chen nodded.

During this period, Fang Wei wanted to persuade Chu Chen to leave several times because he was worried that Chu Chen was going to get up at night, but Chu Chen refused with a smile.

After the end, Fang Wei urged the rest of the people downstairs, instructed his family to deal with the sundries, and persuaded Chu Chen's family to go into the house to rest first.

Chu Chen went into the house to sleep with peace of mind, Chu Yi and Jiang Xin, although they were a little embarrassed, they still couldn't talk about the experienced Fang Wei.

At one o'clock in the evening, Chu Chen woke up on time, and after making all the preparations, he waited until two o'clock, and he didn't see any increase in experience.

Chu Chen had no choice but to call back the skeleton, and under the protection of the skeleton, he came to the first floor, followed the road that dug up the snow, and walked to the green tree, but he didn't find any trace of the mutant mouse.

Chu Chen estimated that it might be because the mutant rat leader died, and without the leader to carry it, the mutant rat would not come.

Disappointed, he returned to the roof and locked the iron door, Chu Chen was about to go into the house to sleep, but at the door, he heard a voice in the house, and the hand that was about to open the door immediately hung in front of the door.

"Dust is outside, there won't be danger, right?"

Chu Chen blinked, this was his mother's voice!

Next, it was obviously her father Chu Yi who was comforting her: "Alas, I'm also worried, but Chenchen has become a lot more mature now, and I haven't thought of many things yet, so he has already thought about it, so you can rest assured." ”

Mother didn't eat him, and said: "Less coming, now the night, it's not as good as before, there used to be moonlight, I haven't seen the sun and moon for eight or nine days, no matter what time it is, it's gray, and there is no light at night, by the way, didn't you say that the dust has helped you become a lot stronger?" Why don't you help Dusty deal with those rats that have grown a lot bigger? ”

Chu Yi didn't speak yet, but Jiang Xin suddenly spoke: "Don't, uncle and aunt, Chu Chen, everything he has done so far, it seems that he has his own ideas, he didn't ask his uncle to help, there must be his reasons, I believe that it won't be long before he will come back by himself!" ”

"Alas, Xinxin, did you make noise about your sleep? Your uncle and I are just worried about Chu Chen, and I didn't mean to quarrel with you. ”

Yang Lan found out that he had woken up Jiang Xin, and he was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I woke up yesterday, but I didn't dare to interject."

Jiang Xin wanted to say something, Chu Chen gently opened the door, and several people suddenly sat up and looked at the door, Chu Chen closed the door first to prevent the wind from blowing in.

After closing the door, Chu Chen, who was moved, didn't know how to speak, so he had to comfort the three of them casually and urge everyone to sleep.

……

Before dawn in the morning, Chu Chen woke up, looked at the alarm clock that Fang Wei had changed, it was only eight o'clock, lightly, Chu Chen, who did not wake everyone up, got dressed and walked out of the door.

Chu Chen, who had nothing to do, walked slowly in a circle along the fence on the roof of the building, and waited until about nine o'clock, when there was a glimmer of light in the sky, and Fang Wei's family walked out one after another.

Fang Wei commanded his family, and after lighting a fire and boiling water, he saw that Chu Chen had already gotten up and was standing on the edge of the roof looking at him.

Trotting all the way to Chu Chen, Fang Wei smiled earnestly: "Boss Chu, is it so early today?" ”

Chu Chen also had a hint of a smile and said, "Well, in the future, your family, eat with us, you don't need to cook it separately." ”

Fang Wei smiled happily and said, "Well, okay, Boss Chu, let's follow Boss Chu's orders together." ”

Seeing that Jiang Xin and his parents had walked out of the door, Chu Chen ignored Fang Wei, walked into the house, took out his towels, toothbrushes and cups, and began to wash.

After washing, Fang Wei's family had already cooked the porridge, Ding Ruifeng and his wife, and Uncle He's family also came upstairs, and everyone drank porridge around the fire.

After Chu Chen finished drinking, he began to assign today's task.

Among them, Chu Yi took Fang Wei, Fang Long, Ding Ruifeng and He Bo to clean up the snow next to the fire, clear out a vacant land that can build two wooden houses, and after completion, build two wooden houses for Ding Ruifeng and his wife, and He Bo and his son to live in.

Chu Chen, with He Rong, He Xing, and Fang Sen, went downstairs to continue cutting trees, collecting wood as much as possible, and preparing to cut down the branches of the big tree first, the main trunk of the big tree, not daring to move for the time being, after all, if the tree more than ten meters high fell, it was quite dangerous.

After a hard morning, even Fang Wei didn't dare to rest a few times, and the wood used to burn the fire was piled up in several rows along the roof fence to build a wooden house, and more than a dozen hard and straight tree trunks were also cut down.

At noon, Chu Chen did not ask Fang Wei to register for the distribution of food, but took out 5 of the remaining 14 mouse carcasses, and asked Jiang Xin, Miao Chunhua and several other women to chop off their heads and burn them, and dispose of the rest of the rats and use them to make soup.

Chu Chen took Fang Wei to the stairwell, opened the door, and let the rest of the residents go up to the roof.

Except for Jiang Xin's mother and daughter, Fang Wei's family, Ding Ruifeng and his wife, He Bo and others, and the other thirty-one people who were still alive in the building, all arrived.

Chu Chen glanced at Deng Liangan and his wife in the crowd, didn't pay too much attention to it, and opened his mouth to say, "Quiet." ”

The crowd consciously quieted down, Chu Chen pondered for a moment, and said, "Today, in addition to receiving three or two taels of rice and a pack of instant noodles, I also provide you with a choice. ”

Looking at the people who were a little excited and began to whisper, Chu Chen frowned, and suddenly, the crowd consciously quieted down.

Chu Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "On the second floor, there is a family that died a few days ago, that is, Fang Wei's family, the one opposite. ”

Chu Chen paused for a moment to make everyone remember, and continued: "It wasn't anything else that killed them, but a mouse, a mouse that grew bigger than a cat, and I called it a 'mutant mouse'. ”

In the crowd, someone began to whisper again, Chu Chen was annoyed, and roared loudly: "If any of you are arguing, just go downstairs for me to argue, remember, I won't say it a second time." ”

Looking at the quiet crowd, Chu Chen continued: "I have killed a lot of this kind of rat, and their corpses have been collected by me. ”

After a pause, Chu Chen continued: "The heads of this mutant rat have toxins, so I chopped off all their heads and burned them, and I promise that there will be no problem with the other parts, and those who are willing to believe in me can give up rice and instant noodles, and anyone who gives up can get a bowl of hot broth." If you don't want to, you can also get three or two taels of rice and a pack of instant noodles as usual. ”

Half an hour later, the ending was somewhat unexpected, and Deng Liangan took the lead in receiving the broth, so that most people chose the broth, and only a few insisted on rice and instant noodles!
