Chapter 4: Next Door Wins the Lottery

The breakfast was very depressing, not at all like talking and laughing before.

Everyone is drinking porridge and vegetables, and no one wants to say the first sentence.

After the meal was finished, the four adults ate as if they had made an appointment, and the bottom of the bowl was clean, and if you didn't pay attention, you thought the bowl had been brushed.

"Drink the porridge at the bottom of the bowl, and there is nothing left."

Su San said to his son.

My son is nine years old and has just graduated from the first grade. He didn't understand what was going on, but the experience of going out in the morning was real. If it was usual, he would definitely make a grimace at Su San, saying that there was nothing left, but people would run out of the kitchen and ignore what the adults said. Today he was very obedient, and as soon as Su San's words fell, he picked up the bowl and licked the polenta inside.

The only disobedient person was her two-and-a-half-week daughter, no matter how much her mother persuaded her, she looked absolutely unacceptable, and refused to scrape the porridge in her bowl anyway.

"Forget it, wait and feed the dog with the rest of the pot."

Seeing that Su San said that he wanted to feed the precious grain to the dog, Qiao Cui was anxious.

"No one has anything to eat, and you still have to feed that disobedient thing!"

Su San glanced at Qiao Cui and said:

"In this case, a dog works better than an adult, and slowly you will know."

Qiao Cui is a person who is unforgiving in his mouth but soft in his heart, what Su San said makes sense, she didn't argue with him, and asked:

"There aren't many things at home, and with the things you brought from our father, we won't have anything to eat in five days at most. Although there is a lot of corn and wheat, it has not been milled, so it should not be dry cooked. Adults can stand it, what about the two children? Bran can be very stomach-hurting. ”

Qiao Cui's concerns are the most important issue to be addressed at the moment.

There are nearly 600 catties of corn and wheat, but they are all in a primitive state and have not been ground into cornmeal and white flour. In principle, you can't eat it at all.

Although corn can be boiled directly in large grains, it can also be ground by hand on a stone, and it can be used after simple processing. But what about wheat? This thing is not something that can be ground by hand. Need to find a way to turn it into steamed buns and noodles.

"Move to the mill of Liu's bench house in the village."

My father, who has not expressed his opinion since the beginning, said.

Su San nodded.

"Think about it as a last resort. It's a big deal to give him some white flour as compensation. ”

"He doesn't open his mouth wide."

Su Qi said hatefully.

Su San smiled and said:

"Don't be afraid, maybe you don't have to give him a grain of flour, we can use the flour grinder for nothing."

Everyone looked at Su San, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Su San looked at everyone and said:

"He has wheat that others put the day before yesterday and yesterday, and he took it away after grinding it out in the past two days. Guess he's willing to give it back now? Definitely refused, unwilling to do anything, this is life-saving food, and people don't play with him. Let's wait and see, after a week or 10 days, Liu Bench may not be alive. When the time comes, we'll go and grind the dough ourselves. He had a generator at home, so he was not afraid that there would be no electricity at that time. ”

What Su San said is very realistic, very cruel, the end has come, the most terrifying thing is not the lack of food and clothing, the horror is the human heart. People who can't eat will definitely take risks, and they will do anything.

Each family in the village will store a certain amount of grain, but like the Su San family, their food can't be eaten for a week, so a week later is the time when the village is in chaos.

When the time comes, it is not only the zombies that must be guarded against, but also the living.

Su San said this, took out a cigarette and gave it to his father and younger brother, and after lighting it, everyone smoked silently at the front desk. Just took two puffs, my father slapped his thigh and said distressedly:

"Oh no, I still have my tobacco leaves at home. That's more than 10 pounds! ”

Su Qi didn't want to say it, but when he saw his father speak, he also said distressedly:

"What is 10 catties of tobacco leaves, how much is it worth. I didn't bring two cases of wine and a cigarette under my bed. ”

Cigarettes and alcohol are not eaten or drunk, but they are things that cannot be missing. Smoke can soothe the nerves, and wine can strengthen the courage and keep out the cold. It can also be used as industrial alcohol disinfection, in short, it is very useful.

Although the zombies on the street are dead, it is really impossible for the living to cut them down for a while. These people all know each other, and maybe yesterday they were playing cards together, playing mahjong together, and chess together. There's really no way to cut them now, especially when it's time to cut the first one.

At this time, alcohol can come in handy, as the saying goes, wine strengthens people's courage, pour it down in a few sips, and if you don't know it, you will be cut down.

"Don't be distressed, what's the use of talking about it now. You don't talk about it early when you move. Not necessarily, though. When we moved, none of the neighbors dared to come up to say hello, but they all saw it. We have moved all the useful things, and they don't bother to worry about it, maybe they can stay. ”

"I hope so."

The younger brother said helplessly.

After smoking a cigarette, Su San got up.

Liu Zhenzhen from the west has already appeared, and everyone in her family is fine. But until now, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu in the east have not moved. Isn't it stupid?

The two sons of the old couple live in the city, and they are the only ones left in their hometown. The two of them are older, nearly 70 years old, and a few days ago they said that they would move to the old family in winter.

The old family has a large area, and there is heating in winter, so it will be more comfortable for the elderly to live in the city.

I don't know what happened to them, there is not much food at home.

There are five houses in this row, and except for the one at the east end, there are no people living in them, and the remaining four houses are occupied. The west neighbor is Liu Zhenzhen, a family of three, and the man is not at home.

Further west is Liu Baodi's house, a family of three, Baodi himself, his daughter-in-law, and his son. The treasure is not big, 26 years old, married the year before last. My son is only one year old this year, and he is younger than Doudou.

The four families are like an island, and only by working together can they get through the difficulties.

Su San decided to go down from the house to take a look, the old couple couldn't do heavy work. It's still okay to take turns on duty at night.

"Dad, you go into the house first, Lao Qi will go to Baodi's house to have a look, and I'll go to Uncle Liu's house to have a look, don't make a noise."

Zombies don't attack people now, who knows when they'll crit. The zombies in the city can take the initiative to attack the doors of the living, and they must not be careless.

The brothers slowly crawled forward on the roof one after the other, one east and one west.

Uncle Wang, a zombie in the back street, is still hanging at his door, and it is estimated that his family already knows that he has become a zombie and has plugged in the door. Otherwise, he would have been able to go back to his own home.

Houses in the countryside are built next to each other. Leave a road every few or a dozen households. These houses were the same in length, width and height, and Su San didn't have any trouble getting up, and soon came to the side of the ladder.

Su San listened to the movement in the courtyard, and puffed twice like rhubarb, and saw that there was no movement below. Su San dared to shout a few times Uncle and Aunt, but seeing that there was still no response, Su San climbed the ladder and planned to go down to take a look, the old couple must have been stupid.

When Su San was halfway down, he saw Uncle Liu in the room from the window, he gasped, and the whole person almost didn't fall off the ladder.
