Chapter 7: Eating Chicken

At the end of this warm meal, the simple family really made Wang Xi realize what it means to "save his mouth and hospitality", he ate almost half of the meal on a table, although this half failed to fill his stomach, but this family is a stranger who has only known him for half a day, so Wang Xi really feels that they have done enough.

After dinner and cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, it was getting dark and the temperature dropped a lot.

All the people entered the wooden house, because of a "fire bucket" put in before, the room was very warm, by the light of a candle, men and women slept foot to foot on both sides of the floor, Wang Xi was also arranged to sleep in the innermost position on the male side.

"Little Bear, are there still troops in Shuzhong City?"

Blowing out the candles, this question of the uncle can be regarded as the beginning of today's "night talk".

"I'm not sure, even if I guess, I'm trapped to death."

"I've heard that a lot of troops have been sent into the city, as well as planes and tanks, so they can't beat those dead people?"

As soon as Wang Xi finished speaking, the second uncle's puzzled voice came from the darkness.

"I don't know why we couldn't fight, we started to hide at Shuzhong Airport and wait for the transfer, but then the planes came less and less, and the people in the airport slowly began to be infected, and finally the infection was serious, and the rest of the troops could only leave the airport with some of us who looked healthy, and escape from the city......"

Speaking of this, Wang Xi just sighed and did not continue.

"The bear must have suffered a lot, hey, poor."

Auntie's loving voice sounded after Wang Xi's silence for a moment.

"It's nothing, it's just that the ones in the back are so miserable that I don't want to remember it."

Wang Xi said the reason why he didn't want to continue.

"It's okay, it's okay, we all know that our village is not miserable, hey, it's really a sin."

After the uncle finished speaking, several other people also made some voices expressing agreement or sighing.

"Eh, by the way, uncle, how did your family come from the village to this mountain?"

Wang Xi also raised the questions in his heart.

"Fortunately, my big cauldron, if the four cauldrons forced us to run away from home, we would have been eaten a long time ago."

As soon as I heard this voice, it was my aunt's.

"Just say, it's a loss to my family boss, otherwise the black will die...... Hey, I dropped my in-laws twice, and I was bitten before I had time to leave, miserable... Poor whea, woo woo woo ......".

When the grandmother said that she was sad, she choked up, and her wife, son and daughter-in-law also persuaded her.

This kind of atmosphere of chatting will only make everyone recall some things that they don't want to think about, and as the old grandmother slowly calms down her mood, everyone also falls asleep in silence.......

After a quiet night, I wanted to sleep more to recover my strength, but because the whole family got up, Wang Xi couldn't be disgraced, so he still got up.

Because there is no condition to wash your face and brush your teeth now, the family is so busy.

Wang Xi also wanted to help do something, but the family politely let him stay in the camp to help them take care of the elderly and children, and also took him to familiarize himself with the alarm devices around the camp, in fact, it was a strip around the camp with all kinds of glass bottles and bells hanging on it, and the things that could make noise when touched were the same as the ones he encountered yesterday.

In this way, Wang Xi and the two old men, as well as the youngest child, stayed in the camp, and the rest went out to fetch water or food.

Wang Xi was bored in the camp for a while playing games with the children, and then circled the camp twice, and soon stayed up until noon, but during this time, except for the aunt and aunt who came back from carrying water, it seemed that everyone did not come back to prepare breakfast.

"Little sister, brother asks you, are you hungry?"

Wang Xi squatted in front of the child, the child played with a piece of grass in his hand, and nodded shyly, even if he answered his question.

"When do your mom and dad usually come back to cook for you?"

"Uh-huh~afternoon".

"And what do you eat in the morning?".

"Don't eat in the morning...".

After listening to the child's answer, Wang Xi's mood was also very complicated.

At the same time, Wang Xi suddenly thought of something, and then quickly ran into the wooden house, grabbed the backpack placed in the corner of his bed, and rummaged through it.

"This food is also considered to be my life in exchange, and it will be of great use when I set off again, do you really want to take it out for this family?"

Wang Xi was holding two boxes of canned food in his hand, and his heart was still a little entangled, and finally decided to leave a bag of biscuits, a box of luncheon meat, and the last four bottles of water, and take out the rest, after all, the family treated him well, and he couldn't be too selfish, especially in this difficult time.

"Little sister, look, what is this? Come, take..."

Wang Xi came out of the wooden house, and just saw the little girl playing on the wooden table, so he grabbed three or four out of the small half bag of candy in his hand and walked to the little girl.

"Ahh......h

When the little girl saw the candy in Wang Xi's hand, she shouted happily, changed her previous shyness, and directly took the candy handed over by Wang Xi, and did not forget to smile and say "thank you" to him.

Wang Xi touched the little girl's head, and then walked towards the old grandfather and grandmother who were chopping firewood and stacking firewood in the kitchen with food and the remaining half of a bag of candy.

"Grandpa, grandma, I have some food here, if you want to be hungry, eat some first."

"Oh, how can we ask for your things, you take it, you see you haven't made breakfast, if you're hungry, you can eat it yourself, don't be afraid, we're not hungry...".

The two old men stopped what they were doing, maybe because they couldn't let Wang Xi eat breakfast, and he also took out his own food for them, the two old men were embarrassed to excuse themselves, Wang Xi knew that it was not that they neglected themselves, but that they really didn't eat, otherwise they wouldn't have let such a young child starve.

"Grandparents, I still have them in my bag, you take these, and I will pay for my accommodation and food here."

Wang Xi didn't let the two old men make any more excuses, and directly put the food in his arms on the earthen stove, and quickly walked away.

Still having nothing to do, Wang Xi simply leaned on a tree and leisurely got up.

"It's almost time to rest, it's time to leave tomorrow, it's still far from home, no matter how long it takes, Mom and Dad, you have to wait for me to come back...... When everyone comes back in the afternoon, ask them if they know the way back to the highway."

The sun and breeze at noon made Wang Xi fall asleep after thinking about ......it.

I don't know how long I slept, and Wang Xi, who was half-asleep and half-awake, seemed to smell the aroma of chicken soup, and he only thought he was dreaming.

"Little Bear, wake up, Little Bear ......, get up and eat".

Wang Xi sat up in a daze, yawning and stretching.

"Hmm... No, this fragrance is still there, isn't this fragrance a dream? ”

Smelling the pungent aroma, Wang Xi was also stunned for a while.

"Uncle, do you smell anything, like the smell of chicken soup?"

Wang Xi asked in wonder to wake up his uncle.

"Hahaha, your kid's nose is very delicate, fragrant, right?"

"Hmm!"

"Then get up and eat."

Wang Xi quickly stood up and came to the wooden table with his uncle.

"It's... How can there be chicken soup? Did you go out and catch a chicken today? ”

He asked incredulously.

"Hahaha, where to catch it in this mountain, we are back two old people will show us you give them drops to eat, in order to express gratitude, we specially raised the last old hen that laid eggs to stew."

After listening to the words of the second uncle, Wang Xi was stunned, just for the little food they took out, they could kill the last old hen used to lay eggs for themselves to eat, this family is really .......

"When it's time to make a sprinkle, sit up and eat."

Looking at Wang Xi who was standing in a daze at the dinner table, the uncle smiled and beckoned him to hurry up and sit down to eat.

"Uncle, you killed this chicken for that little thing, I ......."

"Ouch, you're welcome, our family hasn't been in for a long time, thanks to you, we can also fight tooth sacrifices, hahaha, don't have the idea of scattering, hurry, sit up and eat."

The family relieved Wang Xi, and he sat down to eat happily with everyone.

During the banquet, Wang Xi saw that almost all the family just ate wild vegetables, drank a little chicken soup, and did not scoop chicken to eat, and even the two children coaxed not to let the chicken be sandwiched, obviously wanting to leave the chicken for Wang Xi to eat, which really moved him.

Wang Xi suddenly stood up and rummaged in the basin with chicken soup with chopsticks, the family thought that he really loved to eat this chicken, so they didn't care about anything else, but Wang Xi took out two chicken legs, sandwiched one for each of the two children, and then scooped a big spoonful of chicken for each of the others with a spoon, before sitting down and continuing to pick up the rice, the family looked at Wang Xi and smiled.

"Uncle, do you know how to get back to the highway from here?"

After eating and putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Wang Xi asked about his uncle.

"I know, but I have to pass through the village twice on the fourth road, and there are a lot of dead people in the village, it's too dangerous, do you want to go there to be a sprinkler?"

After speaking, the uncle blew the soup in the bowl into the bowl, took a sip, and waited for Wang Xi's answer.

"I want to leave tomorrow and follow the highway so that I won't get lost, so I asked you."

"You're leaving? Is it for the sake? Do you think our life is too bitter? ”

The uncle put down the chicken soup in his hand that he hadn't finished drinking, and his tone was eager and a little helpless, and the others also asked the reason with concern when they heard it.

"No, no! The two days I spent here with you were the most comfortable and relaxing of my time, in fact, because I was in a hurry to go home, and since the catastrophe, I have not been able to contact my parents, and I don't know how they are now, so I thought about leaving tomorrow."

Wang Xi hurriedly waved his hand to explain to them why he was leaving.

"Hey, little bear, you are filial."

The aunt came to Wang Xi's side and lovingly covered his hands with her hands.

"Tomorrow my son and I will send you there".

The uncle patted Wang Xi on the shoulder, and drank the rest of the soup with his head up.

"Uncle, just tell me how to go, you don't have to send me."

"Eh~! If you want to send it, you can say it."

The uncle put down the bowl and stood up.

"But you also said that there is danger on the road, how can I let you take risks, uncle, you have done enough for me, I can do it alone."

Wang Xi is really afraid of any danger on the road, uncle, if they have any mistakes, then he will be really sorry for this family.

"No, four, let's take the path to detour to the village, you just follow my drip, I have measure, and even if you tell you how to go, you can't say that you will still go wrong, this mountain road is complicated, don't say it, listen to me."

Wang Xi wanted to persuade him, but the uncle had already gone to inspect the cordon with his hands behind his back.
