Chapter 6 Oversized green jade melons

"It stinksβ€”"

Early in the morning, Li Ba, who was in a daze, was woken up by a scream. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ji'er sitting on the edge of the bed, her little hands wiping her face and body, as if she wanted to wipe something off.

His nose twitched a few times, and Li Ba smelled a foul smell, and the stench came from Ji'er and himself, like the smell of feces, which was extremely disgusting.

"It fucking stinks!"

He sat up and looked at himself, and found that his body was covered with a slimy layer of dirt, which looked like mud and smelled bad.

Throw a rag to Ji'er. This is the towel that Li Ba usually brings to wash his face, and as for himself, he took out a book from under the bed, tore a few pieces of paper and wiped it up.

"Uncle Li, this can't be done...... It stinks! Ji'er's crying voice came.

Li Ba also feels the same way. The dirt on the body can't be wiped off with just wiping, and it can only be cleaned by taking a bath. When the end of the world came, the survivors of the refugee camp outside the city were struggling to survive, and even drinking water was difficult, and it was a luxury dream to take a bath.

The Xibu settlement supplies one liter of water per person per person from outside the city every day. For Li Ba, who works as a coolie, it is not enough to drink, how can there be extra water. Under normal circumstances, he would save a little water every few days and wipe himself with a wet towel to maintain personal hygiene. Even so, the smell on his body, and the black towel, were very unpleasant.

Seeing the little girl's appearance of wanting to cry, Li Ba couldn't bear it, and he couldn't stand the stench from his body, thought about it, picked up an iron bucket from behind the door, and said to his sister: "Don't run around at home, uncle will get water to bathe you!" ”

Walking out of the door, Li Ba looked around, and then the consciousness body entered the mysterious space. At this moment, he looked like he hadn't woken up, leaning against his shack, closing his eyes and dozing off. In just a few seconds, after a thrill, Li Ba opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.

In the mysterious space, after a night, all the fruits of the melon vines last night were ripe. More than a dozen square meters of land have yielded more than 40 big melons. The net weight of a normal green jade melon is between 600 and 700 grams, which is about two or three taels per catty. The green jade melon produced in the mysterious space is more than ten times larger, and the skin is as green as jade, similar to a large winter melon, one at least weighs fifteen or sixteen catties, exuding an attractive sweet fragrance.

Looking at the appearance of this melon, the taste is definitely not much worse, and the portion is full, enough for him and the little girl to eat for more than half a month. Li Ba was full of joy and walked towards the gate of the settlement with an iron bucket.

The Xibu settlement has two gates, one south and one north. Among them, the north gate is the main gate, which is for the residents of the city to enter and exit. The south gate faces the camp and is reserved for survivors from outside the city. Under normal circumstances, several water storage trucks are parked at the south gate early in the morning to distribute drinking water to refugees. When Li Ba walked over, he had already seen a large group of refugees gathered there.

Looking around, no one was paying attention. Li Ba's left hand retracted into his sleeve, shook it slightly, and took out two pieces of chaff buns from the mysterious space without a trace. He divided the chaff in his hand into twenty or thirty pieces, and then shouted at the crowd: "Change things!" One mouthful of bran bun for half a liter of water! ”

Water is important, but for survivors outside the city, food is even more important. Drinking water is distributed free of charge every day in the settlements, but food is not mentioned. There are only two ways for refugees to obtain: one is to work as a coolie, and the prerequisite is to pass the physical fitness; The second is to risk your life and find food on your own far from the settlement.

The Xibu settlement is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only exit is the provincial road a few kilometers ahead, and there are wandering zombies everywhere, and it is not easy to find food. If you go into the mountains, the danger is even greater. The end of the world is coming, and unknown viruses are spreading, not only human beings are suffering, but other living beings are also infected. The temperament of the originally docile domestic animals and poultry has changed drastically, and some will become man-eating beasts. This is especially true of the beasts of the mountains, which are torn to shreds in an instant if someone enters their territory, threatening even more humans than zombies.

These mutated beasts and domestic animals and poultry, collectively known as mutant beasts by the survivors, have more attack power than zombies. When ordinary people encounter it, it is difficult to survive. Some powerful mutant beasts can't even be dealt with by evolutionaries.

For the sake of safety, Li Ba was willing to work as a coolie in the settlement to survive, and never went out to search for supplies, which was too dangerous for him!

However, in the refugee camps outside the city, there are still many people who risk their lives to go out in search of food. Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and no one wants to do coolies, so if they want to survive, they can only fight for their lives. If you're lucky, you'll find valuable items to sell to the settlement, not only for food, but also for a chance to enter the city.

As a result, a large number of refugees go out every day in search of supplies. When it comes to the night, only half of the people who can come back safely are normal. The remaining half of them were either eaten by zombies or died under the minions of mutant beasts.

There are also some people like Li Ba who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are not qualified to do coolies, relying on digging wild vegetable roots nearby to sustain their lives. At this moment, hearing Li Ba's shouting, one by one, his eyes were red with blood, and he pounced on him with all kinds of drinking water utensils in his hands.

"Holy!"

The crowd was surging, and hundreds of refugees surrounded it at once. Li Ba was startled, and hurriedly opened his voice and scolded: "You damn bastards, if you want to trade, line up one by one, who dares to approach Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu ate all the chaff buns and didn't change a piece! He regretted a little at the moment that he didn't bring the guy with him. If you are swarmed by these red-eyed guys, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Li Ba has a strong body, a height of 1.82 meters, with fat all over his body, and deliberately making a vicious appearance, his face is hideous, which is quite deterrent. The first few refugees were scared and immediately lined up. The people in the back are honest.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu is domineering enough, otherwise it would be dangerous!"

Li Ba was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, and pouted at the first thin man and said, "How much?" ”

"All for all!"

The man poured a liter of drinking water into the iron bucket in front of Li Ba, and then took two small pieces of chaff from Li Ba, held them in the palm of his hand like a baby, and left happily.

"I'll change it all too!"

"I ...... I'll change it in half! ”

Water was constantly poured into the iron bucket, and it didn't take long for Li Ba's hand to be completely empty, and the iron bucket was also filled with most of the slightly turbid water.

"Those who haven't been changed are waiting here, and I'll come back later!"

Li Ba picked up the iron bucket and left. Those refugees who had not been traded in the first place, after listening to his words, stayed in place one by one, waiting in an orderly line.

The mysterious space has cultivated dozens of large melons, enough for Li Ba and Ji'er to eat for half a month. There are no worries, and the remaining chaff buns on hand are exchanged for some water to bathe, which is necessary for Li Ba.

Although he was a refugee, he didn't want to be like his ragged and smelly kind, at least to maintain the most basic personal hygiene.

Li Ba carried the iron bucket, walked briskly, and trotted home. Ji'er was waiting at the door early, and when she saw Li Ba coming back with half a bucket of water, her little face was full of joy.

"You wash first, Uncle will give you the door!"

Li Ba handed the iron bucket to Ji'er, there was a large plastic basin in the room, which he picked up from the outside, and he didn't use it much on weekdays, but it came in handy today.

Ji'er didn't seem to be able to stand the smell on her body, so she took the iron bucket and carried it in. The door was closed, and after a while, the sound of water came from inside. Li Ba leaned outside the door, unconsciously entered the mysterious space, inspected those super-large green jade melons, his face was happy, and he laughed from time to time.

He was already a little impatient, wanting to taste the melons grown in the mysterious space, how would it taste?

"Uncle, I want to ...... Change clothes. ”

The wooden door opened a crack, and the timid voice of the concubine came out.

"Change clothes...... Li Ba frowned, and replied: "Uncle has no clothes here, even if there are, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear them." "Fleeing all the way, my life is at stake, and I can still take care of a change of clothes. Besides, with his tall and fat body, even if he has clothes, his concubine is not suitable.

"Neither did I...... But this clothes stink too much! ”

"Hmm...... In this way, you go to bed first and wrap yourself in your uncle's coat. Uncle washed your clothes for you, and after they were dried, they should have no smell! Li Ba came up with a compromise. After hearing this, Ji'er timidly agreed.

Not long after, there was a sound of all the excitement inside, and then the concubine shouted, okay. Li Ba pushed open the wooden door and saw a small figure curled up on the bed, wrapped from head to tail in his Armani coat.

His eyes lit up. The cleaned aunt has big eyes, delicate eyebrows, and although her body is thin, she looks like a beautiful embryo.

"Uncle, what are you staring at me, what are you doing?" Ji'er stammered. Although she is young, she is already ignorant of knowing the things about men and women. In particular, what happened that night has cast a shadow on the weak mind. For Li Ba's eyes at this moment, he is particularly sensitive, and his face is full of vigilance and fear.

Li Ba patted his head, scolded himself, and then said with a smile: "Girl, you really look like my distant niece." In fact, Li Ba has no father and no mother, he grew up in an orphanage, how can he have any relatives, he said this to relieve the tension of the little girl.

Then, Li Ba threw the little girl's clothes into the basin, and scrubbed the bath water that had turned black, and never looked at the little girl again.

Looking at his back as he shrugged his shoulders and scrubbed his clothes, Ji'er's vigilant eyes gradually relaxed and softened.

After a while, the clothes were washed, Li Ba got up and went out, and in less than five minutes, he spent two pieces of chaff buns and replaced most of the buckets of water. He poured out the dirty water and rinsed Yan'er's clothes several times with clean water until his nose couldn't smell the odor before taking them out to dry.

"Girl, close your eyes, Uncle is going to take a bath!"

Walking in the door, Li Ba said half-jokingly. Ji'er immediately closed her eyes and reclined on the bed, with her back to Li Ba.

"Little girl!"

Li Ba shook his head and smiled. Start undressing and showering. The crisp water poured on the body was extremely refreshing, and I hadn't felt this way for a long time. Li Ba squinted, humming a little song, while wiping his body with a dirty towel, pieces of dirt like noodles were rubbed off, that feeling... Wonderful.

"Nima, my belly seems to be getting smaller......"

While wiping, Li Ba muttered in his mouth. Not to mention, after a night, his big belly seemed to have really shrunk and become a lot smaller. In this regard, Li Ba was quite dissatisfied. The end of the world came, and in such a harsh environment, he did not lose a few pounds of fat...... Until today, when I took a bath, I found that I had lost weight, and it seemed that I still didn't have enough nutrition.

For his figure, Li Ba has never criticized it. In his opinion, a man who does not have a general's belly cannot talk about the word 'domineering' at all. Therefore, in order to have the word 'ba' in his name, he did not allow himself to lose weight.

Eat a big meal later, and you should be able to hold up your stomach. Li Ba thought in his heart, it didn't take long for him to see that he had almost washed it, he stood up, his eyes swept over, and he was worried again. His clothes were also stained with a lot of dirt, dirty, and smelly.

After thinking about it, he first scrubbed the boxers clean, then wringed them out vigorously and put them directly on his body. Wet pants, although a little unpleasant, are better than naked. He then washed the rest of the clothes and took them out to dry.

"Girl, let's have breakfast now!"

Walking into the house, Li Ba was wearing pants, bare-breasted, and said with a smile on the bed with his belly up.

"What's for breakfast?" Otherwise, uncle, you will give me two bottles of spring water. She turned her head and licked her lips, recalling the wonderful taste of the spring water last night, and looked like she couldn't get enough of it.

"If you don't drink water today, Uncle has something good to share with you!"

Li Ba was mysterious, squatted down, touched the bottom of the bed for a while, and unexpectedly brought out a big green melon.

"Winter melon!"

"Wrong! This is melon. ”

This thing resembles a big winter melon, and it is naturally a super-large green jade melon grown in a mysterious space. It was moved to the table by Li Ba, and it exuded an enticing sweet fragrance. When she sniffed it, her index finger moved, and her little head, wrapped in Armani's coat, came over.

Li Ba took out a dagger from under the bed and wiped it with a cloth. This dagger had slaughtered a few guys the night before, and the blood on it was not dry.

"Quick! Uncle Li, hurry up! ”

Yan'er couldn't hold back a little and urged on the side. Li Ba smiled, and used the dagger to cut the melon open. When the blade cut into half an inch, the whole melon exploded from it, split into two halves, the juice splashed, Yan'er was splashed a few drops on the side of her mouth, the little tongue stretched out and licked, her eyes lit up, it was so sweet!

As Li Ba cut the melon into petals, the whole room was filled with an enticing sweet aroma. Li Ba swallowed and foamed at the mouth, and looked at Yan'er. At one point, the two of them started to move at the same time.

"Delicious! It's delicious! ”

The sound of 'smack' came from the shack.
