Chapter 69: Comprehension
"Yes, sister!" Ning Boxiao and the others, who had already finished practicing from the outside, returned to Ning Xiao's room, and when they heard Ma Xiuyun ask, they also followed suit. "What's your ability?"
Ning Xiao smiled, stretched out her hand again, and a branch with green leaves emerged from the palm of her hand, and then grew bigger and bigger. Soon, the branch changed into a long green whip according to the design in her mind.
"Ha," Ning Xiao raised it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile. "In the future, you don't need to look for a leather whip, just use it ready-made."
Hearing this, Ning Boxiao and the others were embarrassed. Ma Xiuyun didn't know what to do.
"Xiao'er," she asked. "What kind of ability is this?"
"Wood-based abilities," Ning Xiao replied. Then, with a wave of her hand, an ice pick was nailed to the table.
"Sister!" Ning Jixiao stepped forward, carefully inspected the icicle, and then shouted non-stop. "You also have an ice ability."
"Hmm!" Ning Xiao finally found the answer to the snow-capped mountain that suddenly appeared in space.
As soon as he heard that Ning Xiao was an ice-based ability, Ma Xiuyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "It's okay now, there is finally water at home to cook the next meal!"
Hearing this, Ning Xiao couldn't help but look at him, and Ning Boxiao and the others immediately tightened their hearts.
"Mom, I'm here, don't worry about drinking water!" Ning Xiao immediately took out a large bucket of water from the pond in his own space and handed it to Ma Xiuyun.
"Okay, there's water at last!" In this way, Ma Xiuyun carried a bucket of water and went downstairs happily, without finding the embarrassed appearance of the elder brother San's face.
When Ma Xiuyun's footsteps downstairs disappeared, Ning Xiaocai glanced at the third brother coldly and asked, "What's the matter?" I remember that your spaces were all stocked with fresh water. Why is it that now, I still have to worry about the water for cooking? ”
"Sister," after the three brothers looked at each other a few times, it was Uncle Ning Xiao who spoke first. "Do you know how long you've been asleep?"
"For how long?" This, Ning Xiao really didn't feel it. The system and the small incense burner in the space didn't seem to mention it to her either.
"It's been more than half a month," Ning Jixiao hurriedly replied. "If you go back to sleep, we all think you're going to be a sleeping beauty and never wake up again?"
"Go, talk bastard!" Ning Boxiao pushed Ning Jixiao away. "Sister, don't listen to the old four's nonsense. His guts are a little small now. Isn't it written in the eschatological texts? The more powerful the person, the later they will wake up. So, it's just in time for you to wake up. ”
"Boss," Ning Jixiao became dissatisfied on the spot. "When is it now, you still have to slap my sister's ass!"
"That's it!" Ning Xiao waved his hand, signaling them to stop arguing. "Now, talk to me about drinking water. What the hell is going on? I remember that each of you stored several buckets of fresh water in the space. Especially the third child, he stored twenty large barrels. ”
"Sister, at first, Mom didn't know that there was a shortage of water," Uncle Ning Xiao had to explain. As a result, no one in the family thought of saving water. A couple of us also took a few showers. Therefore, no matter how much water is stored, it is not enough. ”
"Sister, don't blame Mom!" Ning Jixiao also stepped forward to argue. "If you want to blame, blame the third child. He is a water ability, and he always brags to his mother, saying that with him, he doesn't have to worry about no water. As a result, my mother believed it and ......"
Ning Xiao listened and listened, and slowly heard the taste. Then she remembered what had happened the night before she went to sleep.
"Alright," she said, and the third brother's argument ended at once. "Now, tell me, where did the third child go? What did you do? ”
"And, what about Dad? I've been awake for so long, why didn't he come to see me!"
"Sister, you asked too many questions, it's hard to answer!" The three brothers began to blame each other again. In the end, it was Uncle Ning Xiao who came forward to answer.
"Sister," Uncle Ning Xiao said, and his footsteps moved backwards, as if he wanted to stay away from Ning Xiao. The third child still can't rest assured that he has a hundred diesel generators. He woke up with us. It was only later that he took advantage of the fact that his parents and we were not paying attention and drove to the city alone. ”
"Mom and Dad are in a hurry. The two of them divided the work, one went to the city to find the third child, and the other stayed to take care of us and you. ”
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Ning Xiao became angry. She disliked that the speed of weaving the branches into a long whip was too slow, so she still took out the leather whip directly from the space and whipped it towards the third brother in front of her.
"Don't be ignorant of me," Ning Xiao said angrily as he whipped them viciously. "The water ability is the weakest of the five elements. You are more than capable of stopping him. Why not stop him from going to the city? ”
"Whew!" The third brother held his head and ran around to avoid the leather whip, but no one dared to make a sound, for fear that the mother downstairs would hear it, and the old sister would whip it even harder.
While dodging, they begged bitterly: "Sister, we didn't know we could suppress him!" At first, I thought his abilities were much more useful than ours. ”
"Yes, sister!" Ning Jixiao was already drilling under the bed. "Now, there's nothing more valuable than water. Without our abilities, the days would have gone on. Without water, the day is a torment. ”
"Sister!" Nimboshaw had opened the door to the closet and hid inside. Ning Shuxiao had no choice but to use his ability to metalize a piece of wood to resist Ning Xiao's leather whip. "Aren't you awake now? Just right, you can take us to him!"
"Xiao'er!" At this moment, Ma Xiuyun downstairs also heard his voice. "What are you smoking? It's scary to hear. ”
"Mom!" Ning Xiao withdrew the whip and replied to Ma Xiuyun. "I'm whipping rats with my wood-based ability to see if I can kill them!"
"Oh!" Ma Xiuyun's voice came up again. "If there are more rats, it's hard to kill them. You might as well ask your brothers to help you fight! You're a girl, and they've got to protect you. ”
These words immediately caused the boys upstairs to vomit: Mom, you should say the opposite. We still have to be protected by my sister to go through the last days!
"Mom, you're busy, I'm not going to hunt mice!" Ning Xiao responded to Ma Xiuyun downstairs. At the same time, she beckoned and motioned for the three brothers to come to her side.
In fact, the leather whip taught the quadruplets too many lessons, so that they thought: Ning Xiao, who held the leather whip, was a tigress; Ning Xiao, who didn't hold a leather whip, was the old lady.
Therefore, seeing Ning Xiao whipping his leather whip and seeing her beckoning, the third brother obediently gathered to her.
"Now," Ning Xiao stroked his swollen forehead. At this moment, it was Ning Zhongxiao who wanted to be pumped more in her heart. "Tell me about the situation around your home."
"Sister," now, Ning Boshaw is no longer afraid. So, he was the first to speak. "Due to the bloody rain that fell for three days and three nights, several families living nearby all moved to other places. There is no other home here except our home. ”
"So," Ning Jixiao also added later. "As long as there are no zombies in our house, there will be no zombies here!"
"In other words," Ning Shuxiao said in more detail. "Until now, we haven't seen any zombies. It's as safe as a post-apocalyptic safe!"
"Third child, I'm not worried, he has space to hide!" Ning Xiao voiced his concerns. "However, Dad didn't have the space, and I was worried. By the way, what's Dad's ability? ”
"It's the same as the fourth," Hearing this, Ning Boxiao also showed sadness. "It's all fire!"
Ning Xiao's finger tapped on the wooden board that had been metallized by Ning Shuxiao, and then continued to ask, "After they went out, did they call home to report their safety?"
"The third child is carrying a satellite phone, so he can still call back," Ning Shuxiao also looked sad. "He said he ran into zombies. Say how ugly those zombies are, how disgusting. ”
He also said he had killed several zombies. Still, that zombie is amazing. He hit straight at the hand. In the end, when he saw the zombies again, he had no choice but to escape. ”
After that, he never called home again. We don't know if his phone has fallen off, or if the battery of his phone has run out and there is nowhere to charge it. ”
"I wondered, why didn't he store a few more mobile phone batteries in his own space, so smart as he was? That thing could be a lifesaver right now. ”
"The ordinary mobile phone that my dad carried, there was still a signal at the beginning," Ning Jixiao was completely depressed.
"Later, we called my dad and found that the phone had no signal. It's all my fault, when my dad left, I should have reminded him to bring a satellite phone. In this way, it is possible to avoid the signal disappearing and the person who cannot be reached. ”
Hearing the third brother's story, Ning Xiao already knew the general situation of the situation.
"It seems," she said, rising from her bed, to her three younger brothers. "It's imperative that we go to the city."
"Well, sister, we have to go to Dad and the third!" The third brother nodded in agreement in agreement.
……
During dinner, Ma Xiuyun heard the children say that they were going to the city to find their husband and third child. Her eyes turned red suddenly, and she didn't speak, just urged the children to eat more. When you get to the city, you may not know when you will be able to eat.
"Mom, you can eat more!" Ning Xiao gave Ma Xiuyun the food. "This time I went to the city, and there was a lot of luck. You have to eat a little more to come back alive. ”
"Xiao'er, what's the matter?" Ma Xiuyun was taken aback when she heard this. "Are you taking me with you?"
"yes!" Ning Xiao continued to carry the dishes to Ma Xiuyun. "We are a family and no one can leave anyone. Even if you die, you have to die together. ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Ma Xiuyun nodded again and again. Her tears could no longer be contained. "A family, no one can be missing, even if they die, they will die together."
"Eat more, too!" Ning Xiao was instructing the other three younger brothers at the same time. "We will be greeted by a fierce battle. You've got to be prepared!"
"Yes, sister!" The third brother nodded even more, speeding up the pace of eating.
