Chapter 19: Unexpected Joy
On this day, Wei Yi, as usual, instructed Shen Xiaoman to take care of Shen Cheng at home: "Brother Shen's condition has improved recently, I'll go out and find some herbs to come back." You are safe at home. Don't go out randomly. ”
Shen Xiaoman fiddled with a toy, nodded again and again, suddenly remembered something, grabbed Wei Yi's sleeve, and said hurriedly: "Brother Wei, the kind of fruit you brought back last time is really delicious, can you bring some back?" I gave my dad one too, and he seemed to like it too. ”
Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Oh? You gave it to him? Does he feel anything? ”
Shen Xiaoman let out a "hmm" and replied, "Eat." He said that it was very comfortable to eat, and he occasionally felt warm at night, not as cold as before. Brother Wei, okay? Not too much, just one, I want him to be a little more comfortable. ”
Wei Yi looked at Shen Xiaoman's eyes full of hope, smiled lovingly, nodded and said, "No problem, I'll bring you some back tonight." ”
After he finished speaking, he instructed Shen Xiaoman carefully, put on his backpack and went out. After Shen Xiaoman left, he closed the secret door, and moved a lot of things to hold the door tightly. Only then did he continue to fiddle with the toy in his hand with confidence.
As soon as Wei Yi came out, he first carefully checked the cordons laid around. After making sure that everything was normal, he left the place and hurried into the distance.
For some time, he had explored a radius of nearly a hundred miles. Everywhere I went, we were overgrown with weeds and in ruins. In some places, there are even a lot of strange-shaped plants. Not only are those plants tall, but they are also extremely aggressive.
When Wei Yi first saw those plants, out of curiosity, he wanted to get closer and take a closer look. As a result, he was immediately attacked by these plants and almost lost his life. If he hadn't decisively cut the strap of his backpack and torn his clothes, he would have become fertilizer for these plants. But even so, he was extremely embarrassed.
Not to mention that all the materials just collected were discarded, and even the clothes on his body were stranded one by one, almost without covering his body. Not to mention shoes and socks. After that, he could only walk barefoot and carefully on the ruins.
Fortunately, on the way to Huainan City, he found many packages discarded on the side of the road. From those packages, he picked up some clothes to change into, so that Shen Xiaoman didn't know that he was in danger.
After that, he set up many cordons around the residence of Shen Cheng's father and daughter, and always observed the condition of the surrounding plants, just in case. He didn't know where those plants came from, or if they were a species that existed before. This worried him for a long time. Thankfully, what he was afraid of didn't happen, and everything was fine.
At this moment, he walked quickly through the weeds that reached his chest, and from time to time he used the long roots of the wood in his hands to call the grass in the distance. But everywhere they passed, there was still no trace of any living thing, not even a single mouse had been encountered.
This situation has been going on for a long time, which has always made Wei Yi feel a sense of urgency and uneasiness in his heart. In this peaceful land, some terrible change may be taking place that he was not aware of.
With a "bang", when he was exploring the way, the wooden stick he swung out suddenly seemed to hit something, and made a sound. Wei Yi was startled by the sudden noise, and hurriedly cleaned up the weeds around him with a wooden stick.
As soon as the weeds were cleared, he immediately saw where the noise was coming from. I saw that five steps in front of me, there was a military equipment box, lying quietly on the ground. The box was surrounded by many broken clothes and numerous bullet casings.
Wei Yi hurriedly stepped forward and examined it carefully. In the days before, all he found were things left behind by ordinary people. Whether it was clothing, or food, or bedding, etc., this was the first time that military supplies were found behind.
He found stains of blood on his torn clothes. There was also a lot of blood on the ground and on the box that had coagulated and dried up, apparently formed by someone who had suddenly received a heavy blow and blood sprayed out.
A few steps away from the box, there were many traces of tires that had been crushed, and they were all printed into the grass on Wei Yi's right hand.
Wei Yi followed the tire tracks all the way, and after chasing for a short distance, he found that the tire marks were suddenly interrupted. He sighed as he looked at the place where he had suddenly lost his tracks on the ground. There were obvious signs of dirt tumbling there. He knew in his heart that these people must have been ambushed and fell deep underground, just like him.
"Well, I hope you're all safe." At this moment, in his mind, Zhao Yifan's smiling face that was indifferent to death suddenly flashed. He stood there for a long time, and then he dissipated the melancholy in his heart, and turned around and walked towards the military supply box.
In this military supply box, medicine and some ammunition and weapons are sealed. Wei Yi packed the medicine into his backpack, took a few more grenades and two daggers, and continued on his way.
In the years that followed, he found many abandoned military supply boxes and many abandoned military armored vehicles. The bullet casings scattered on the ground, the numerous fragments of broken clothes, and the blood-red earth clearly told him that there had been a terrible battle here.
Wei Yi stood quietly on the blood-red earth, looking into the distance, silent for a long time. After a while, he found a shovel, made some marks on the ground, and stuck the shovel in the ground as a signpost. Today's exploration can only end for the time being, and he decided to go back and pick some fruit first, and then come here again tomorrow.
"Bring her what Xiaoman asked for first, and I can't find anything famous here for a while. Go back tonight and think about it, and come back tomorrow. He muttered as he made some spare marks around.
With all this done, he immediately went back. He scurried all the way to his original habitat. Although it was just past noon at the moment, the distance was far away, and there was no means of transportation, if I couldn't get home in time, I was afraid that the two people in the family would worry again.
A few hours later, Wei Yu returned to the cave. The fence gate at the entrance of the cave had been modified several times by him, barely covering the entire entrance. If someone passes by here and doesn't look closely, they will see that there is a cave here. He stepped forward in a few steps, opened the fence gate, ran quickly to the depths of the cave, took off his clothes, and plunged headlong into the water.
This is not the first time he has been here. At this time, it is already extremely familiar. He swam all the way underwater. Soon it was back to the place where the kiwifruit grows. Xiao Budian and many small fish were playing here at this time, and as soon as they saw Wei Yi, they immediately happily surrounded him.
They swam happily around Wei Wei, who beckoned to Xiao Budian and pointed to the fruits not far away. Little didn't realize it, and swam to the place where the fruit grew with a school of fish. Wei Yi only watched from a distance and did not step forward.
After Xiao Budian arrived there with this group of fish, they all burrowed into the water film. A moment later, there was a stirring in the water film, and then the water around the water film suddenly squeezed in.
With a "pop", the water film suddenly burst open. A large number of gases scattered from the inside, and floated up in unison. Wei Yu hurriedly swam over, plunged into a large bubble, took a breath, and then immediately swam away again. He's so skillful that it's obviously not the first time he's done it.
After a long time, Xiao Budian swam back with a school of fish, and brought back a dozen light blue olive-shaped fruits. And those fruits that were originally floating in the water were not cared for, and they were allowed to drift away with the current.
Wei Yi hurriedly took out the pockets he had prepared in advance from his trouser pockets and put the fruits into them one by one. He took out a bag of fish food, tore it open, and poured it into the water in front of him. Xiao Budian and the group of fish swarmed up, and after a while, they snatched up all the fish food.
Wei Yi looked at these fish with a smile, and felt very happy in his heart. A few days ago, he saw that Shen Cheng didn't think about tea and dinner, couldn't sleep at night, and was worried in his heart, so when he went out to investigate, he went back here by the way, and happened to meet Xiao Budianyou to look for him. After he described it several times, he understood what he meant, and took him to pick this fruit.
But because of this, he understood why the fruits he fished out of the water were difficult to swallow. It turned out that the fruit they picked was not the fruit floating in the water at all, but the fruit that grew in the center of the bubble.
As for how the fish managed to break the balance of this bubble and let the water pour in, he does not know.
He frolicked with the fish for a while, then took the bag of fruit and hurriedly returned to the place where Shen Cheng's father and daughter were.
Shen Xiaoman was very happy when he saw the fruit that Wei Yi brought back, and gave Shen Cheng one as soon as possible. As soon as Shen Cheng ate it, his frowning brows gradually stretched. A peaceful and peaceful expression slowly appeared on his face.
Wei Yi stood aside and observed carefully for a long time. When he saw Shen Cheng have such a change, he guessed again in his heart that this kind of fruit might really be able to cure Shen Cheng's illness. He thought about what had happened to him. That terrifying vine has already parasitized into his body, and it can be cured by this fruit, so perhaps, it can also cure Shen Cheng.
Since then, he has gone back to that cave almost every time, and with the help of Xiao Budian, he picked some fruits and fed them to Shen Cheng.
Sure enough, half a month later, Shen Cheng was completely cured. He will never be awake by day, irritable at night, and will no longer fall into a coma as often. Except for the fact that the body is still a little weak, the other problems seem to have disappeared.
Wei Yi was completely relieved. From then on, Shen Cheng took care of Shen Xiaoman's safety, while Wei Yi went out alone to find possible human settlements. This search, unconsciously, has passed nearly half a year.
