A month later.

After lunch, I and Sunshine, Zhang Xiaomei, Tang Xiao and other ten people formed a team, as usual in the valley patrol, although in the past month, Wu Feng and they have not moved as if the world has evaporated, but we can't relax our vigilance, since Ye Gang has said that there are guys like Jin Sanpang, they will never stop, it's just a matter of time

Well, we'll just brake and wait for them to come to the door!

Anyway, they are still only eighteen people with Xiao, and the key point is that they don't have guns and ammunition, they rely on cold weapons, so we have nothing to fear of them.

The guards who patrol the valley every day, each team of ten people, each time they send two teams to protect the safety of the castle in the valley at the same time, and the castle also guarantees 24 hours a day that there are thirty strong young and middle-aged people left behind, the old man and children, for the time being, they can no longer go out of the castle gate, no way, safety first!

At least one person from each of our teams carries a walkie-talkie with them and is always in touch.

And each team member has a whistle around his neck, once he finds an abnormality, he will blow the whistle as soon as possible, and the sharp whistle can be heard throughout the valley, and others will immediately go to the rescue.

The afternoon breeze is warm, and it is almost the end of summer, and the weather is getting cooler, which is quite comfortable this season.

At this time, the old people and children are taking a nap in the castle, it doesn't matter how hard we work, it is worth it for them to live comfortably and safely!

We were walking slowly along the trap when suddenly there was a noise in the grass, and three sturdy figures appeared in front of us.

"Uncle Zhang!" I, Sunshine, Zhang Xiaomei, and Tang Xiao called out in surprise.

Uncle Zhang and his two sons Zhang Yun, Zhang Chi looked at us with a smile, the three of them were carrying big bags, needless to say, this is a good thing!

We were as happy as the Chinese New Year, and quickly took the bridge ladder to pick up the three of them into the valley.

"The sea buckthorn fruit is ripe, and the old man of my family urged me to come over and send it to you." Uncle Zhang patted the bag behind him, "There are also sea buckthorn leaves, rice wine is also brought, the fruit is soaked in wine and drunk, and the leaves are dried and soaked in water as tea leaves." ”

"And the sand fruit in my backyard is also ripe, so I brought two bags over to give everyone a taste, sweet and sour, and it tastes refreshing." Zhang Chi and Zhang Yun actually carried two big bags of sand fruits!

The things they were carrying were not light, so we quickly took the three bags.

"Uncle Zhang, it's early in the morning, don't rush back, hurry back to the castle with us to drink some sour plum soup!" All ready-made. Quench your thirst, rest and come back. "This time, I can't let this master leave after delivering things without touching the ground.

"Cheng, I am indeed thirsty. Now it's getting dark late, and I can go back before dark, and there are fewer dead people in the mountains this time, and I haven't touched a mile along the way. "Uncle Zhang and the three of us walked with us towards the castle.

Our lovely neighbor who is simple and kind! If it weren't for the many things we did when we came back, we would have missed them so much!

"Uncle Zhang, when we come back, we miss you! If it weren't for the fact that he encountered something as soon as he came back, Uncle Hua kept saying that he wanted to go back to see Mr. Zhang and have a drink with him again. "Looking at this third master, my heart is very dear.

Uncle Zhang hehe Zhile: "No, let's just fall in love, when you come back, our family is also chattering every day, Xiu'er and Yanzi are not afraid that my father and your sister Chunmei will not worry about having a child at home, they want to come and see you!" ”

I felt a wave of heat rush through my heart, and I almost blurted out to ask the family to come over, but the crisis that had just occurred in the valley made me swallow the words back.

We are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, it is difficult to protect ourselves, Uncle Zhang's family is living a nourishing life in the deep mountains, but when we come, we are worried and afraid.

"Duo girl, how are you doing lately? Is there an uncle whose family can help? You just tell your uncle, you're welcome! "Uncle Zhang's true feelings were revealed, but I was full of emotion.

As he spoke, our group had already returned to the castle, and Tang Xiao went to inform the other team to patrol the valley in time, no matter what, we would not relax our vigilance against the enemy hiding in the dark.

Uncle Zhang and the three of them were arranged to the restaurant first, and the table was the sour plum soup chilled by the old people for everyone, ready-made cups, I poured a full cup for the three of them with my own hands, and watched them drink it in a big gulp.

Hua Kai's father had already heard that Uncle Zhang was coming, and he rushed over excitedly, holding a large jar of good tea in his hand, which was sent back to the old people when we went to Wal-Mart in Anji City, and he treasured it for so long and was not willing to drink it all.

"Shanzi, this is the tea I gave to your old man, I have been thinking that I can go to your house again one day to see him personally deliver it, since you are here, help me bring it back!" Hua Kai's father directly stuffed the tea canister into Uncle Zhang's arms.

The mountain people are simple, without those false politeness, Uncle Zhang thanked him, and stuffed the tea cans into the empty bag.

We sat and chatted for a long time, and suddenly Uncle Zhang said a little shyly: "Duo girl, you have a lot of children here, do you have three or four-year-old dolls wearing small winter clothes?" I want to ask my granddaughter Juanjuan for two pieces to go back, this winter is coming, and the baby's clothes last year are too small to wear. That's causing you trouble. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and I was a little sad: "Uncle Zhang, why do you look so foreign?" Although we don't live together, it's no different from a family, and the child needs clothes, so you just have to tell me, what is the trouble, how uncomfortable it makes me feel when I say it. ”

Uncle Zhang laughed, Zhang Yun and Zhang Chi also laughed, this guy is so real!

I soon asked for a few small cotton clothes and padded underwear from a girl in the community last year, as well as small cotton shoes, but the girl's grandmother told me that the child did not have cotton clothes and shoes that could not be worn this year.

I collected about a dozen pieces of autumn and winter clothes and shoes for two- and three-year-old girls, put them in a big bag and handed them to Uncle Zhang, thought about it and asked: "Uncle, you tell me the truth, are you adults also lacking clothes and shoes?" ”

It has been two years since the end of the world, and their family has certainly never been out of the mountains, so it is impossible for them to be like the people in the city, who can't wear a wardrobe of clothes, and the mountain people will not be so luxurious.

Uncle Zhang was silent, and Zhang Yun replied: "Sister Duo, our adults' clothes are not in the way, as long as we can wear them." ”

Lack! They must be short of clothes, shoes and socks!

I recalled that the night we stayed at their house, there were no large wardrobes in either room, only one or two suitcases, which seemed to hold clothes.

I thought of the handsome little clothes again, the child saw the wind and the little clothes that were shipped back from Wal-Mart last year, he wore them this year and had exposed his belly, and the small shoes were also shouted and squeezed, but I was so busy that I didn't have time to ask him for a pair of older shoes from other children.

It was already the end of summer, autumn in the north was very short, and winter was coming, and it seemed that new supplies were necessary.

We're going to visit Anji City again!

"Uncle Zhang, you go back first, in this way, leave us the numbers of all your family's clothes and shoes, we are going to the city to replenish supplies recently, and when we come back, we will prepare your family's share, and we will send it to your family." I asked Xingzi to find a pen and paper, which is to remember the size of Zhang's family's clothes and shoes.

With the numbers in mind, I carefully tucked the note into my arms. I plan to personally ration them when the time comes.

"Uncle Zhang, what is missing at home? They also told me that if you can find something in the city this time, you will definitely bring it back for you. "I'm a woman, and my heart is more delicate.

Uncle Zhang thought about it and shook his head.

Zhang Yun quietly pulled my arm, motioned to a place with fewer people and said that I would care, and walked with him to the window of the restaurant.

"Sister Duo, you are my eldest sister, just like my own sister, I won't see you outside, that, can you give my daughter-in-law and my brother-in-law some aunt towels back..."

Actually, I'm quite embarrassed, but this request is really reasonable, it is really not easy for women, and it is much more troublesome to live than men in this life.

When it came to my aunt's towel, I decided to explain a few more words to him: "That, Zhang Yun, Sister Duo will bring you more family planning supplies, I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that it will be dangerous for the two sisters to give birth to babies in this environment." ”

Zhang Yun nodded again and again, I guess he also wanted to ask me for this, but he was really embarrassed to say it.

It's understandable that they are so young, and their situation is really not suitable for regenerating dolls, in fact, now the people in our castle are facing many crises, and they don't have the relaxed state of mind before.

Zhang Chi also walked over: "Sister Duo, in fact, what my family lacks the most is salt and sugar, and there is really no place to get these seasonings." If it's convenient for you, can you bring some back? ”

Not only their house, but also the seasoning in our castle was exhausted, and the old man and woman in charge of cooking had already looked for me, and I forgot about it.

This trip to Anji City, it's really impossible not to go, and a lot of things have to be replenished!

When Uncle Zhang went back, we decided to give the Zhang family a calf, Uncle Zhang's family has pigs and poultry, but there are no cows, usually plough the garden or something, all rely on their hands, very laborious, with cattle will save a lot of trouble.

Surely the cow was not eaten for meat, but given to their family to work.

They happily drove the calf back.

And we are also starting the annual supply into the city, this time we need a lot of things, to pull a detailed list!

In the evening, my mother couldn't wait to drink a small cup of rice wine soaked in sea buckthorn fruit, smacking her mouth, even called it delicious, I have drunk the rice wine of the Zhang family, it is fragrant and sweet, and now it is soaked in the sweet and sour sea buckthorn fruit, the fruit aroma is stronger, it is simply a treasure! If it weren't for the preciousness of rice wine, we wouldn't be able to help but rush to drink it.

The sand fruit is enough for everyone to share, the two big bags are washed, and each room is divided into a small basin, everyone eats happily, and their teeth are sore, and they can't help but gnaw on another one.

Another night of joy.
