Chapter 53: Winter is Coming
Zhang Yumei looked at Cao Ping, who was still unconscious in the back seat, and didn't know how to explain to Chen Xiaoxiao at the party!
Approaching his base and seeing his son and husband next to the big tree under the village committee, the feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe in Zhang Yumei's heart once again stirred his heart, if he couldn't come back, what would they do in the future?
The car drove directly into the courtyard of the village committee, and Liu Lichen moved Cao Ping directly into the clinic for Li Dongting to check. And Chen Xiaoxiao and Wu Xiaoming were still busy blocking the rest of the small intersections in the village and did not come back!
Looking at the unconscious Cao Ping, Li Dongting frowned, carefully examined the wound, nodded for a while and shook his head for a while!
Liu Lichen looked at Li Dongting anxiously and asked, "How is it?" There is no salvation."
Li Dongting looked up at Liu Lichen, shook his head again, and said, "I don't know." ”
Liu Lichen immediately had bruises on his head, Zhang Yumei saw that the signs were wrong, and hurriedly stopped Liu Lichen!
After appeasing Liu Lichen, Zhang Yumei turned to Li Dongting and said: "What is the sale, you can tell us what you know, what is the situation with Cao Ping!" ”
Li Dongting glanced at Liu Lichen, touched Cao Ping's neck and sighed: "Cao Ping is injured, I am also sad, but I really can't help it, according to the wound, it should be certain death, but he is breathing smoothly now, except for a little excessive blood loss, there are no other symptoms!" Now I don't have an instrument for me to check, so I can only guess! Alas......"
Hearing Li Dongting's explanation, Liu Licheng asked in surprise: "Does that mean that Cao Ping's kid is fine!" ”
Li Dongting naturally frowned, and said: "No, I guess there are two situations, one is that the bullet did not pass straight through Cao Ping's throat, but grazed it, but this should pierce his cervical vertebrae, so even if he wakes up, he is a waste, and I can't say the real situation!" ”
"Second ......"
Li Dongting hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, Zhang Yumei and Liu Lichen both looked at him, he shook his head and continued: "The second is that Cao Ping is dead, and he hasn't completely turned into a zombie yet!" So I didn't wake up."
Liu Lichen roared and was about to pounce on Li Dongting: "Your mother just died, he now has a steady pulse and even breathing, you tell me clearly, where does this kid look like a zombie!" ”
Zhang Yumei stopped Liu Lichen again and pushed Li Dongting out of the door, leaving only Liu Lichen, Zhang Yumei and the unconscious Cao Ping in the clinic!
"I know you're very sad, and I'm also very sad about Cao Ping, but my husband also said just now that there is no instrument now, and I can't be sure of Cao Ping's physical condition...... Anyway, let's wait for Cao Ping to react first, if ...... If...... We're really going to be zombies, we're ...... Hey......" Zhang Yumei said with a sigh.
Liu Lichen had tears in his eyes, pushed Zhang Yu's eyebrows away in disbelief, and shook Cao Ping vigorously, hoping that the unconscious Cao Ping would give him a little reaction!
“…… What did you say? What happened to Cao Ping...... It's impossible to ......" Chen Xiaoxiao's voice sounded at the outer door, Zhang Yumei looked ashamedly at Chen Xiaoxiao rushing in with tears on his face, patted Liu Lichen's shoulder, and both of them went out, giving Chen Xiaoxiao the silence at the moment!
Chen Xiaoxiao touched Cao Ping's pale face, and the tears never stopped since he entered the door!
"Ping, can you hear me? You can hear that, right, you definitely won't be that ugly zombie, will you! We're going to live in a house with a big yard together, and we're going to grow a lot of flowers! Brother Li said that you may wake up, then you will wake up, even if you can't move from the neck down, I will take care of you for the rest of your life! As soon as you wake up! You get up......" Chen Xiaoxiao said more and more quietly. Outside the house, all the people who came back stood in the courtyard, listening to Chen Xiaoxiao's hysteria! In everyone's eyes, there was shame, anger, and disappointment.
At night
Everyone who had simply eaten was wearing thick pajamas, sitting in the courtyard, and the bonfire was very strong, except for the two children who were carefree and eating the snacks brought by Zhang Yumei. This is a box of multi-flavored potato chips that are said to have been a brand for 40 years.
Almost everyone present had received Cao Ping's help and favor, and Cao Ping's coma made the small team panic.
added another handful of firewood to the bonfire, Wu Xiaoming wanted to dispel the feeling of uneasiness with the temperature of the fire, but it was useless, everyone looked in the direction of the clinic from time to time, hoping that Cao Ping could come out and greet everyone, or Chen Xiaoxiao, who was also inside, walked out without crying, and told everyone that Cao Ping was awake and safe. However......
Wu Xiaoming first sighed and said, "What now?" Brother Cao was unconscious, and he didn't know ...... What will happen? With a toothpick in his mouth, after smoking the last cigarette today, Wu Xiaoming became even more panicked.
Liu Lichen, who looked directly at the bonfire, then said: "What should I do? Cao Ping will definitely wake up, what are you talking about? ”
Then there was silence again, Shen Li sensibly poured hot water for everyone, drinking hot water and sitting by the campfire in the cold weather, it should have been such a pleasant thing, but now they all had gloomy faces.
At this time, Mr. Wu stood up first, warmed his hands with the water cup, and said: "Babies, don't be so negative, life, you have to go on, people can still be like you in these years, the old man is very pleased, at least you will be sad because of the pain of your companions." That's good, isn't it? In addition, calculate the days, winter will not be too far away, and we can't continue to be so depressed, Xiao Cao is not here, I will temporarily direct the work. That's good. ”
Teacher Wu can be said to be the oldest and most amiable old man in a group of them, and his decades of teaching career make him very good at convincing, so his reputation in the crowd is also very high, he stood up and spoke, except for Liu Lichen who was not convinced, they all agreed, after all, it is a very good feeling to have a backbone.
Mr. Wu walked a few steps on the spot and said, "It's late autumn now, and I'll start collecting more wood tomorrow. There are also wild vegetables, which may not be much at this time, but let's look for them more, and when I find them, I will dehydrate them so that I can have vegetables to eat in winter. In addition, tomorrow we will clean up the village committee, those tables, chairs and benches, and go to the surrounding houses to move some furniture, we may have to nest in this village in winter. Also, Xiao Ming, how did you block the intersection of the village today? ”
Wu Xiaoming, who was holding a toothpick, thought for a while and said: "Except for a big intersection and a small intersection that are set aside for traffic, they are all sealed." ”
"Doll, you may figure it out, this is related to our net worth, you will confirm it tomorrow, and make a few railings at the two intersections that remain. Other than that...... Xiao Zhang, what did you bring back from there in the afternoon? Turning his head and sniffing Zhang Yumei.
Zhang Yumei, who was holding her son, immediately said: "Five bags of coarse grains, one bag of rice, two bags of noodles, one bag of millet and one bag of cornmeal." Profound...... There were also two boxes of snacks. No, Zhixin and my son are eating. ”
Teacher Wu nodded and said, "Well, let's eat and play with snacks, and I'm not hungry anyway, but I'd better leave some emergencies." Five bags of coarse grains...... About fifty catties, ten of us ......" Teacher Wu took the lead and calculated silently, and then said: "Five bags of coarse grain are almost enough." But this winter, we don't have time to eat except for the children. ”
There was silence again.
Liu Lichen's eyes have been staring at the clinic, he has just met his brother, but he has become like this again, he hopes that he is injured. When he was in the military academy, he listened to the instructor, and when he was in the army, he listened to the captain, and he used to want to break through alone, but now that he is a free man, he doesn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the nose was cold, Liu Lichen touched the tip of his nose with his hand, but he didn't touch anything, and then his eyelids were cold again, as if he had a sense of rubbing, Liu Lichen raised his head, Shen Huiguang also raised his head, and almost everyone raised their heads at the same time.
It's snowing......
Everyone looked up at the hidden corner of the moon, which slightly illuminated the white sky, and the snowflakes covered almost the entire sky. The snow is also heavier today than last year.
Zhang Yumei's son, Pea, runs wild in the yard, and almost every child loves snow.
But the adults' faces changed.
This year's snow came a month earlier than last year, and it came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.
