Chapter Twenty-Five: The Dinner
The scream came suddenly, and everyone was startled.
The screams were followed by sharp wheezing and the sound of knives and axes slashing zombies.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Chun shouted anxiously.
"Ermazi was bitten, come over and help!"
Said one of the men who was sent to the guard.
"Grass!"
Liu Chun and Su San scolded at the same time. Lifting the axe on his waist, he walked around.
Er Mazi was already lying on the ground, and the two people in charge of guarding were dueling with the three zombies in front of him.
Su San and Liu Chun glanced at each other, and immediately rushed forward, aiming at the zombie is a slash. Three zombies fell to the ground in response.
Su San looked back at the crowd around him, and said worriedly:
"Don't be stunned, shine a flashlight around the cornfield."
Dozens of lightning rays emanated from the vegetable patch, and the rustling and shaking of the cornfields could be heard. The rest of the zombies ran away.
Su San hurriedly came to Er Mazi.
A large piece of Ermazi's neck and the back of his head were gnawed off, his mouth was already filled with blood, and his nose was breathing weakly, and he was out of breath.
"I'm grass!"
Liu Chun on the side scolded. turned around and scolded the two people in charge of guarding.
The two of them knew that they were at a loss, so they stood in place, letting Liu Chun punch and kick.
"Alright, stop fighting. Ask what's going on! ”
Su San glared at Liu Chun with two big eyes and scolded.
"You, say it, grass!"
"We are at fault, but we can't be blamed entirely. The fog was so great that the flashlight could only see five meters away. Surrounded by waist-deep cornfields, I really didn't expect the zombies to rush over. We... We..."
When Su San heard this, he understood what had happened. Now is not the time to blame two people, it is important to run for your life.
Zombies are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood, and if they are surrounded by dozens or hundreds of zombies, everyone will be finished.
"Hurry home, or something big will happen!"
Su San glanced at the crowd, and Su Qi and Liu Chun hurriedly stood up to organize the formation. Don't even think about picking the dishes, let's talk about it later.
Just when everyone was organizing the formation, they heard two sounds of "click" and "click", and Su San used a splitting axe to cut off Er Mazi's head from his neck. Then he used the back of the axe to smash Er Mazi's head three times, and Er Mazi was completely dead, and then he came to everyone's team.
"This is Er Mazi's last relic, give it to his family."
Su San brought the drink bottle of Er Mazi to Liu Chun's face. More than 300 cicada chrysalis fill a drink bottle, and if the two pockmarks don't die, it's a hearty protein feast.
Liu Chun took the drink bottle speechlessly. Er Mazi is his neighbor, he is only 27 years old today, and he has a four-year-old daughter at home, and his parents and wife are still there.
Su San knew Liu Chun's difficulty, and after sighing, he patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go, you can't stay outside for long. Truth be told, so many of us have testified to you. No one wants to. ”
After speaking, Su San rubbed the axe in the soil, rubbed the blood stains and brains on it, picked up the woven bag containing half a bag, and took the lead in front of the team.
It was only 800 meters away from home, and without losing the obstruction, the team soon arrived in front of Su Sanmen.
"Don't break up in formation, people in the same row of houses enter from one house."
Su San finally explained, and after glancing at Liu Chun, he took Su Qi, Chang Shilei, Liu Baodi, his second brother Su Baisui, and his nephew Su You into from the big iron gate.
died of a second pockmark, and everyone's excitement was gone. After entering the door, Su Baisui took Su Post to say goodbye to everyone. The two of them could go home along the roof, which would be much safer.
Liu Baodi also said goodbye to Su San, but was pulled by Su Sanyi.
"Each person took out 50 cicada chrysalis, and after a while, Liu Zhenzhen's family gathered, and she fried it for everyone to eat."
Originally, Liu Baodi saw that Su San asked him to take out 30 cicada chrysalis for nothing, and he was not happy in his heart. But when she heard that Liu Zhenzhen was going to fry the cicada chrysalis, she immediately agreed.
Frying cicada pupae is very fuel-intensive. Today's oil is as precious as salt and sugar.
Chang Shilei didn't go home, so he simply called Qianqian to Su San's house across the courtyard wall, anyway, he was going to Liu Zhenzhen's house to gather, so he didn't have to run back and forth.
Su San came to the front desk, and everyone in the family came out to greet him.
Su San told his father and Qiao Cui what had happened. Dad sighed vigorously after hearing this.
"It's a pity, Er Mazi, this kid is a good boy, when he was young, he didn't forget to give me a few stolen watermelons and apples, alas..."
Su San didn't want to interrupt his father's thoughts, it was a happiness that someone missed when someone died, although this happiness would not be for long. Slowly, it will become a mechanical paper burning incense in the cemetery, and the face will gradually blur.
This is a bumper harvest of cicada chrysalis.
After Su San finished counting, there were 412 in total.
Su Qi is even more powerful, with a total of 738.
Chang Shilei is a novice and doesn't care about these foods, although he only caught 75 of them. That's it, the two of them couldn't keep their mouths together happily. The two of them are different from Su San, they are used to bloodshed, especially the blood of their loved ones, so Er Mazi's death is not touching to them.
"Don't bring it with you, keep it for yourselves."
Su San saw that the cicada chrysalis caught by Chang Shilei was really pitiful, so he had to make the decision and let them keep it for themselves.
Five minutes later, everyone came to Liu Zhenzhen's house.
Su San took 50 cicada pupa, a dozen cucumbers and tomatoes.
Su Qi not only brought 50 cicada chrysalis, but also took half of the vegetables he picked from the vegetable field and gave them to Liu Zhenzhen.
Liu Baodi brought two bottles of liquor from home.
The children all went to the house to play computer games, and Qiao Cui and Liu Baodi's daughter-in-law went to the kitchen to help Liu Zhenzhen fry cicada chrysalis.
The rest of the people drank around a round table in the courtyard.
The appetizer is simple, a plate of spinach, a few cucumbers, a few tomatoes sprinkled with sugar. Liu Zhenzhen also specially took out the canned hairtail fish that was distributed to her for everyone.
We hadn't sat down and drunk together for three weeks, and everyone didn't need to be persuaded to drain a bottle in a few clicks.
Su San knew that everyone was uncomfortable, and he didn't persuade everyone. The walls and gates are sturdy, so you don't have to worry about zombies breaking in.
"I'll go back and get another bottle."
Liu Baodi saw that the wine was not enough to drink, so it was rare to go back and get it generously.
Half an hour later, the cicada chrysalis came out of the pot.
Liu Zhenzhen asked for everyone's opinions, divided the cicada chrysalis into two plates sprinkled with sugar and salt, and brought them to the table together.
The whole group includes four children (Liu Baodi's child is only one year old and has fallen asleep in Liu Zhenzhen's house. All sat around a round table.
People in the countryside have eaten cicada chrysalis, so what is in front of them does not feel disgusting at all. However, Chang Shilei and Qianqian were worried when they saw the fried cicada chrysalis.
It's true that this thing is rich in protein, but it's really not in good shape. It looks scary.
Su San picked up one and put it into Qianqian's bowl, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, just eat crayfish and put it in your mouth as soon as you close your eyes. When you put it in your mouth, I promise you'll want to eat it again. ”
