Chapter 54: The Winter Solstice
At the same time
XZ East District, all the people looked up at the sky, why is the snow so early and so heavy today. Some people speculate that due to the end of the world, there is no greenhouse effect, and the snow will naturally fall earlier. And this winter will be even colder and harder than before the end.
Li Jie, Zhang Jiuhu, and Lao Peigong suspended all outdoor activities almost at the same time, and those who had surplus food in Wodong, and those who had no surplus food...... It's okay, you can eat something else, such as Li Qiguo looking at the meat in the pot and licking his lips.
……
The heavy snow fell for a week, and it was unexpected, so Mr. Wu asked everyone to nest in the village committee, Wu Xiaoming braved the heavy snow to check a few intersections, and after making sure that there were no intersections that could be passed, he nested in the house every day to play cards with Liu Lichen and Shen Huiguang. Shen Huiguang also took off the battery on the car to temporarily use the indoor lighting, anyway, the RV can't be used now.
Cao Ping was also moved into the office of the village committee, sleeping peacefully on the desk, with no sign of waking up, but the good news is that it has been basically determined that he will not become a zombie, because he will change sooner. Chen Xiaoxiao still insisted on staying by Cao Ping's side, rubbing his body to prevent frostbite.
The bonfire has been moved indoors, burning in a large iron bucket, and briquettes have been found from the village, people who have lived in the city for a long time no longer know this kind of thing, and Mr. Wu is also strange that now in 2038, there are still people burning coal. However, the coal is resistant to burning and the temperature is stable, so you can cook and keep warm when you are not cooking.
When Zhang Yumei took out the pajamas, everyone said that it was timely, but looking at the cartoon pajamas in the room, even Mr. Wu was wearing a pajamas printed with pandas, and everyone laughed, very happily.
The snow fell for nearly a meter before it stopped, and the air was already close to freezing, and it was still in October. The well in the village has begun to freeze, Mr. Wu put down the bucket, the rope on it tied a large piece of wood, Pea curiously asked the reason, Mr. Wu happily explained: "Because ah, the water will freeze at zero degrees, and after a long time, the ice will become thicker and thicker, and we will not be able to eat water at that time." So why did I do that, kid...... Come, you see, do the wood chips shake the rope because of the action of the wind? In the same way, the rope will also shake the bucket underneath, right? This way the bucket keeps stirring the well water, and it doesn't freeze, you know? Pea still looked at Teacher Wu with a puzzled face, but Mr. Wu's aura was full, and Pea didn't dare to shake his head, so he nodded straight and said he understood. Teacher Wu laughed, of course he saw that Pea didn't understand, so he touched Pea's hair, and then said, "Do you remember what the teacher told you?" Children should leave the well...... What do you think? ”
Pea raised his hand and said excitedly, "Farther away." "This pea knows, so he says it very loudly.
Teacher Wu touched Pea's hair and walked away with him.
……
Cao Ping slowly woke up, he listened to the laughter around him, he heard Zhang Yumei's voice, Liu Lichen's voice, and Shen Li's voice...... Almost everyone laughed, but Cao Ping wanted to see it himself, but he couldn't see anything, because he couldn't open his eyes, but all the sounds were heard clearly.
Why is there no Chen Xiaoxiao's voice? Where is she?
"Why are people laughing? Why didn't anyone pay attention to me, why couldn't I move? Tie me up? Little...... Little...... Where are you? I'm so scared. I can't see anything, am I blind...... Probably not, I can feel the flickering red, is it that my eyelids can't be opened? Why can't you open your eyes? Can't even move your fingers? Wrong...... What about my fingers? What about my legs? Why can't I feel it? Am I dreaming again? ”
Cao Ping felt that he was dreaming, he couldn't feel his hands and feet, and he was going to dream about the environmental protection worker before? Is he going to gnaw on his own face again?
Cao Ping couldn't help but think of the dream he had when the end first broke out, just like now, without hands and feet, only one head, and was held and gnawed by a sanitation worker, but now it feels a little different from the dream, because he has a clear idea, which is different from the imagination of the dream.
Suddenly, Cao Ping heard Chen Xiaoxiao's voice: "Ping, are you comfortable?" If you're comfortable, just open your eyes. You've been sleeping for almost ten days? If you don't wake up, Liu Lichen will finish your canned luncheon meat, you smell it, we are all eating canned beef mixed with rice, isn't this your favorite food? Get up and eat some. By the way, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I miss my parents, I don't know how they are? At the beginning, I didn't want my parents to arrange a marriage for me, so I ran out in a fit of anger. I didn't expect to meet the apocalypse. Now I regret it so much, I really want to listen to my dad nag and coddle in my mom's arms now. Pity...... You don't know yet, in fact, I lied to you before, I'm not a girl from a ravine, my father is the political commissar of the XZ Air Force, and my mother is the director of the XZ Land Bureau, I can't think of it, in fact, I'm a rich girl, hehe...... Do you feel like you've earned ...... But so what, it's the end of the world. I'm nothing now. Now all I have is you, Ping, wake up! ”
Cao Ping was very strange before, Chen Xiaoxiao's demeanor and skin were definitely not what an ordinary family girl should have, but he didn't think much about it, he didn't expect that the background was so big, but ...... It's the end of the world, and the girl who was originally unattainable is now in her own hands, and she is still a little excited to think about it, she has bullied a rich girl.
"Tiny ...... Come over and have a bite to eat. It's cold for a while, even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat something for Cao Ping, canned luncheon meat and bibimbap, if you don't come again, Liu Lichen will finish eating. Zhang Yumei's voice came.
Chen Xiaoxiao helped Cao Ping rub his hands for a while, sighed, calmly walked to a desk, and began to eat. Although it was really fragrant, Xiaoxiao didn't want to eat it at all, if it wasn't for better care of Cao Ping, she wouldn't want to eat it at all.
"Don't go, Xiaoxiao, don't go, stay with me for a while, I'm lying here alone and helpless......" Cao Ping listened to Chen Xiaoxiao leave him little by little, and suddenly saw a trace of fear, he was afraid that Chen Xiaoxiao would also give up on him.
"No, I'm going to wake up, I still have to take care of Xiaoxiao, now it's the end, if I continue to lie here, what will Xiaoxiao do in the future?" Cao Ping was afraid that Xiaoxiao would leave him.
Cao Ping almost used all his strength just to open his eyes, but he failed again and again, was his eyelids stuck with glue? Who stuck his eyes? Cao Ping had already begun to guess everyone who would be against him. Is it Liu Lichen? Is it Wu Xiaoming? Is it Shen Huiguang? Cao Ping found that everyone would not harm him, but he felt that everyone might harm him. Afraid of wasting food yourself? Still is...... There is not enough food, and they want to eat themselves?
The devil in Cao Ping's heart made him more and more afraid, no, he had to live, and he must not be eaten.
I almost wanted to open my eyes in a frenzy, and my tongue was curled up because of the force, but Cao Ping didn't know how hideous his expression was, but fortunately, everyone was eating, and I didn't see his expression, otherwise I would immediately think that he was going to become a zombie.
No, there was one person who saw his expression, it was a little girl - Qian Zhixin. She walked to Cao Ping's side silently, and the others did not pay more attention to her actions, because she usually did not speak, and she was alone.
Qian Zhixin took out a sharp knife from her arms, held it tightly in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Will you really be the same as me?" You probably know that if you fail, you're going to end up with that kind of thing. ”
Cao Ping was surprised to find that there was another person beside him, and he also felt a murderous aura. Cao Ping guessed, are the rest of the people going to do it? Are you going to eat yourself?
Cao Ping, who was frightened and angry, opened his eyes suddenly, but a dazzling light was above his head, and almost instantly, Cao Ping quickly closed his eyes, and tears of strong light stimulated him.
……
Qian Zhixin saw Cao Ping's eyes open suddenly, and her whole body trembled with fear, but when she saw that Cao Ping's eyes were not a little red, she breathed a sigh of relief. Leaning in Cao Ping's ear and saying, "Congratulations, you have succeeded." After speaking, he quietly walked back to his seat and continued to pick up his rice bowl. But her movements still attracted the attention of the others, and they all turned to look at Cao Ping, but found that Cao Ping was still unconscious, so she continued to eat.
……
Cao Ping heard what seemed to be Qian Zhixin's voice, what succeeded? Successful what?
Cao Ping slowly opened his eyes again and slowly adapted to the light. Where is this? The office of the village council? How is there electricity?
After a long time, as he opened his eyes, Cao Ping felt that his body had regained some strength, although he still couldn't feel his hands and feet, but his neck was already moving.
Cao Ping turned his neck and saw Teacher Wu, Shen Huiguang, and Wu Xiaoming, and familiar faces appeared in front of him. He looked at his hands and feet again, and breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that they had not been eaten by them.
Then he looked at everyone again, and there was no anger in his eyes, only a little relief and guilt. I actually thought like that guys just now.
"Snoring, purring, ......" There was a sound of pigs eating food, Cao Ping turned his eyes to look at it, and sure enough, this familiar voice, the last time I heard it, I was in junior high school, that is, Liu Lichen could only make it, and after coming out of the army, the voice became even worse.
His nose slowly recovered, and Cao Ping smelled a familiar smell - canned luncheon meat bibimbap. Oh my God, it wasn't a dream just now, the novel's own luncheon meat is really running out, it's my own treasure.
watched Liu Lichen take a bite of food into his mouth. Cao Ping, who hadn't eaten for a long time, swallowed his saliva fiercely. A hoarse voice came from the throat that was still sore as a split: "Leave me some of your M's!" ”
PS:I wanted to drag a few more chapters and then let the hero wake up.,And then add a little sadistic plot.,But after thinking about it for a long time.,Still don't want it.,The framework that was originally written is relatively large.,Wake up in a few later chapters.,I'm afraid someone will say I'm dragging the number of words.。 Then wake up now. In this case, another climax begins.
