Chapter 3 The Cellar
"It was my second uncle who was looking for food, and then he brought me here, saying that I could take whatever food was in the car, and the next day when he went out to look for food, he never came back. Was he eaten by a monster? Worried that this expression was not too obvious on Xiao Xueyang's immature face, it seemed that he couldn't express it, but he just frowned.
Everyone understood when they heard him say this, I am afraid that this is another person who left his relatives and ran away, otherwise why would he bring Xiao Xueyang here? It's clear that I just want to run, and then I can't let go. However, compared to the old Zhang he met in the small village before, Na's son is already good. At least I know how to leave some way back for my loved ones.
Another one who left his relatives and fled for his life alone, although Liang Yu and the others were angry in their hearts, they were helpless about this kind of naked surname. It can only be remembered. If these people hadn't died, if they had been touched by their own group, no matter who had been before him, no matter what great things he had done. Die! You don't need to care about the relatives of this kind of person, just treat it as if you have been eaten by zombies. The crowd didn't mind carrying the notoriety.
Before the end of the world, you can spell daddy! You can gnaw the old! At the age of thirty or forty, he is still staring at his parents' pension! That's it! This is the condition that you have, who let you have a good parent who can't bear to let you suffer?
But now in these last days, how lucky are you that your parents and you can survive at the same time? But you just left them out of fear? In the future, even if you live, I'm afraid you won't even be as good as these walking dead. What else are you talking about a new home, a new world?
Liang Yu and the others just didn't understand why his second uncle was in such a hurry? It's good to take the food back directly in the car, and it saves Xiao Xueyang from running back and forth so dangerously.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be told to Xiao Xueyang.
The group watched Xiao Xueyang quickly come out of his worries, and then pressed his fingers on the car window one by one handprints. All of them are love and envy.
Before, everyone always felt that something was missing from the team, but now they understand that it is a child, an innocent child, a child who can be pampered by everyone at the same time.
People who have never been married before the end of the world may be upset to death when they meet such a talkative child. But now everything has changed, Xiao Xueyang's appearance not only brings joy to everyone, but also a sustenance and a hope.
Xiao Xueyang, who was pestering Hong Liang to ask questions, suddenly said, "Just stop here!" Otherwise, the monster will hear the sound of the car! ”
Liang Yu and his party were all stunned, and they said in their hearts, this kid's alert surname is really not ordinary.
According to Fan Shuang's words, the younger human beings are, the stronger they are adaptable, because they have not been exposed to complex society too deeply, and they will adapt quickly according to the environment around them. It seems that this sentence is really true.
The group got out of the car with a lot of food and walked to Xiao Xueyang's house on foot according to his footprints when he came.
The more he walked, the more surprised he became, the degree of caution he was beyond everyone's expectations, his home was only about a hundred meters away from the entrance of the village, but he made a big circle, and the route was chosen to be a wide area. If there is danger, you can flee in all directions.
Liang Yu asked himself this kind of detail, even if there are people in his team who can't do it at the moment. Although as long as Brother Li tells this kind of detail, everyone will definitely be much better than Xiao Xueyang, but he can't take the initiative to think of this.
"Look, that's Grandpa Wang's home, and he's a monster now!" Xiao Xueyang said as she walked, pointing to a courtyard in the distance.
After hearing his words, Liang Yu glanced at Liu Kai behind him,
Liu Kai nodded in understanding.
Along the way, Xiao Xueyang told everything about this and that. Although he can't even say the specific situation, it is good to be able to do so. Liang Yu and the others added a careful impression of this child in their hearts.
Since I got off the bus and walked for nearly half an hour now, you can imagine how hard Xiaoxueyang is these days. Every time he landed, the snow would touch above his knees, and it took several times more effort than usual. Including the drive, these adults would have walked for an hour if they had walked.
Everyone admired Xiao Xueyang even more.
"Hey! It's finally here, but I'm exhausted. Are you tired? Xiao Xueyang pushed open the door of his house and said.
To be honest, Liang Yu and the others were really tired.
But when the gate opened, everyone was really stunned when they saw the house in the courtyard.
Xiao Xueyang's home is just an adobe house, which is rarely seen even in the countryside. And there was no glass on the window, just a plastic sheet with a hole in it, and the dilapidated wooden door was missing a lot of door panels. The whole house had collapsed, and it looked like it would be overwhelmed by the snow at any moment.
How can this still live people? Even if the house doesn't collapse, it will freeze to death because of the air leaking everywhere. Everyone wondered why they had to stay here because there were a lot of good houses in the village.
"Your grandfather is in the house?" Liang Yu hurriedly asked.
"The house? Can this house be inhabited? I'm not afraid of being stoned to death! Xiao Xueyang looked at Liang Yu like an idiot.
Liang Yu was stunned by what he said, and Hong Liang immediately came over and laughed: "Being treated as an idiot by a child!" ”
Although they are all laughing at Liang Yu, they are all quite puzzled, where else can they be if they are not in the house?
Then I saw Xiao Xueyang go straight to a pile of hay and open the hay to reveal a wooden door.
Everyone suddenly realized that it was a cellar! It seems that Xiao Xueyang deliberately covered the door with grass before leaving.
The big nerve Hong Liang was a little unconvinced, and said in his heart, is this a child? It's not dwarfism, is it? But when I think of Xiao Xueyang's immature face. Or admit defeat.
Opened the door of the cellar, and everyone followed Xiao Xueyang down to the cellar, and before they could wait, an old voice came from inside: "Grandson, are you back?" Cold or not? "There is also a cough when he speaks.
"It's not cold! Grandpa, I'll bring back someone who can cure you! Xiao Xueyang said happily.
Hearing this, the coughing in the cellar immediately stopped. For a while, there was a feeling of depression.
"Who are you?" I saw a group of people stepping on a wooden ladder and coming at once. Xiao Xueyang's grandfather saw so many people, and they all carried guns, and his voice was full of vigilance.
Before Liang Yu could answer, the old man immediately reprimanded: "Little rabbit cub, what did I tell you?" Don't you know if you are far away from the living? Can't remember it when you're so old? ”
Xiao Xueyang's excited look disappeared when he heard the voice, and he stood aside with his head down, muttering something with his mouth down, but he didn't dare.
Seeing this, Liang Yu had no choice but to explain what had happened with a smile.
Although the old man said that he had a big temper, he heard that his grandson was deceived into saying that he could cure his illness before he brought these people, and his eyes were a little moist.
But as soon as Xiao Xueyang heard that Liang Yu was lying to herself, she didn't do it, and she made a big fuss. However, he was reprimanded by his grandfather a few times. It's just that the eyes of Liang Yu and his party are full of anger.
Everyone also laughed bitterly, it seems that everyone's first impression in the eyes of this child was frozen as a liar.
Later, with his experience over the years, the old man saw that Liang Yu and his party really did not have any malicious intent, which was somewhat reassuring. So he chatted with Lao Wang in three sentences, this is the task that Liang Yu gave him before he came. Of course, it is to dispel Lao Pan's guardedness.
The cold wind poured into the cellar, and Wang Meng, who came down at the end, closed the cellar door. It was only through the faint light of a candle that Liang Yu and the others could see this cellar clearly.
Cellars are very common in the countryside in the north, it can be said that they are warm in winter and cool in summer, and putting watermelon in summer can be comparable to that of a refrigerator, and eating it will not hurt your stomach. In winter, you can keep the vegetables fresh and not get frozen.
The area of this cellar is about 20 square meters, which is relatively large in the cellar. There are a lot of cabbage, potatoes, and radishes. A wooden bed and more than a dozen people made it a little cramped. But the height is a bit low. The tall people could only bow their heads slightly.
Liang Yu and the others saw some half-bitten raw potatoes beside the bed, and their hearts were also sour. It seems that I was starved for a while.
The old man could barely move his hands at all, and the rest of the parts couldn't move at all. Lying on the bed, his body was covered with several layers of thick quilts. The vicissitudes of life were full of surprise when he heard Lao Wang talk about the situation outside. I regretted that I didn't listen to my grandson's words, but I just thought that Xiao Xueyang was making up the reason because she didn't like to move.
"Is this really the case? I thought it was a war with Xiao Yuben. What kind of bacteriological weapons did Xiao Yueben use again? Why didn't my two boys tell me the truth! I haven't had a letter for so many days! No one knows where to run! What a wickedness! It's so dangerous, and I'm going to let my eldest grandson out! My grandfather deserves it! I can't move my old bones! What a fuck! The old man burst into tears with excitement.
Lao Wang wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't say anything at all. can only let the old man vent. This kind of patient has been lying down for many years and cannot take care of himself at all. If you are a very strong person, you can imagine the degree of depression in your heart.
Although the temperature in the cellar was much warmer than outside, it was still a little cold after being frozen all the way. Liang Yu saw that the old man couldn't slow down for a while, so he asked Liu Kai and a few people to go to the car to get the liquefied gas tank, and clean up the scattered zombies nearby.
The words were for the old man, I was afraid that he would not be able to accept the approach of his group for a while, but he actually asked Liu Kai to catch the zombies and lock them up first. Of course, Liu Kai understood what it meant.
Liu Kai and the others went out for a long time, and the old man's excitement eased somewhat.
So Liang Yu asked, "Uncle Pan, don't you know anything about the situation at that time?" ”
Although the old man was emotionally unstable just now, he could also understand that these people were listening to the young man in front of him. So he replied, "I really don't know, that day I was in the house with my grandson, and suddenly I heard chickens and dogs jumping outside, but I couldn't do anything in a hurry, and then my second son ran back and locked the door, so that none of us could speak." I don't think he looks like a joke. I listened to him, and then I heard the screams of my neighbors. I couldn't help but ask him what was wrong. He said that he was infected by infectious diseases outside. Then I hid at home for two months, there was no movement outside, and it was cold. The second son said that if he couldn't make a fire, others would find out, so he carried me to this cellar. Our village was not big, the land was still very poor, and most of the young people went out to work. The rest of the people basically live on the scenic spot. There is only one cellar in the whole village, and everyone pooled money to dig it. "Although the old man is relatively old, he is still quite clear-headed. The speech is quite succinct. Try to make the situation clear.
However, after answering Liang Yu's words, he closed his eyes, and his hands on the quilt trembled slightly, obviously not wanting to speak, and the answer was just out of politeness.
Seeing this, Liang Yu couldn't continue to ask, so everyone had to be silent.
After more than ten minutes, after Liu Kai and the others came back, they used the old method to keep warm, placed a few steel plates on the liquefied gas hood, and overlapped some space. This makes it a simple heating. As the steel plates became redder, the temperature in the cellar also increased.
At this time, you can put the potatoes with the skin directly on top, find a pot lid or an iron basin and buckle it on it. In this way, while heating up, there are fragrant baked potatoes to eat. After that, you can also put some instant food on the lid of the pot to heat, such as ham sausage, pig's trotters, eggs, etc.
When the liquefied gas is ignited, there is no soot, and it is good to leave a little gap at the outlet. If you are sure that it is safe nearby, you can use the pot to cook. Of course, it is best not to do this in a cellar or basement without ventilation. In winter, when the temperature is low, the steam will make you unable to see anything. And the strong smell of oil smoke is also unbearable.
Xiao Xueyang Yuli, who was still angry with everyone, finally saw a smiling face when she brought the peeled baked potatoes to him.
With the hot food, the atmosphere became lively for a while, and Lao Wang also took the hot ham sausage and sent it to the old man Pan, who just shirked it a few times and immediately took it and ate it in a big gulp.
Seeing that he had the opportunity to speak, Liu Kai whispered to Liang Yu: "It's all locked up, there are seven in total!" ”
