Chapter Eighty-Nine: Thankless

Just do it.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling went down the mountain and headed for the entrance of the town.

It is not difficult to find a bed, and you don't need to go deep into the town, you can find it in a few farmhouses at the entrance of the town.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling cleaned up a few lonely zombies, rummaged through them door to door, and found that it was quite difficult to find a bed that suited them.

Xie Ling's meaning, just find a single bed. Wang Lu insisted on finding a double bed, their family of three could squeeze the double bed and let Xie Ling sleep on the single bed vacated by, because the bedroom was too small, it was originally just a temporary sleep for the management staff when they were on duty at night, if Xie Ling also slept in a single bed, then there would be three beds in the room, and it would not be able to fit it anyway.

Xie Ling thought about the size of the bedroom for a while, and understood that Wang Lu was right.

But a suitable double bed is not easy to find.

Wang Lu originally wanted to find an iron frame bed, disassemble it, and transport it to the mountain to reassemble it.

Who knew that even after looking for three families, there were no similar beds, and even the wooden beds were not removable.

In today's rural areas, when getting married and building a new house, it is popular to ask carpenters to make their own furniture, such as wardrobes, beds, and even desks, which are specially built according to the size and shape of the room.

These pieces of furniture, painted and fixed in the room, could not even be removed from the door.

What's worse is that the wooden frame of the bed is hammered to death with nails, and the head of the bed wrapped in the sofa leather is tightly fastened, Wang Lu just used a hammer and screwdriver to dismantle the bed, and what was removed was also a pile of broken wood.

This is already the fourth farmhouse that Wang Lu and Xie Ling are looking for, Wang Lu went straight to the master bedroom on the second floor, as soon as the door was pushed open, he sighed heavily, it was a floor-to-ceiling wooden frame bed again, Xie Ling went over and lifted the sheet to take a look, put down his hand, looked at Wang Lu and shook his head - sure enough, he was killed by a nail again.

Xie Ling said: "Forget it, Brother Wang, let's get a single bed and go back to the mountain." ”

Wang Lu knew that this matter could not be forced, so he could only pay attention in the future and look for it after expanding the green zone.

Xie Ling turned around and went to another room to look for a single bed - this is much easier to find, in the children's room of each peasant family, there are more single beds, and those who are a little more particular about it also have single beds in the guest rooms.

Not long after Xie Ling went, she suddenly cheered: "Brother Wang, I have found something good!" ”

Wang Lu trotted over: "Found the iron frame bed?" ”

Xie Ling was standing at the door of a room, and when she heard Wang Lu's voice running, she turned around and smiled: "It's better than an iron frame bed." ”

Wang Lu looked behind Xie Ling's shoulder, and it was indeed a good thing-there was an iron double bunk bed in the room.

Wang Lu was overjoyed, and rushed over and groped up and down with his hands: "It can be disassembled!" ”

Xie Ling walked into the room and said with a smile: "Now this kind of iron double high and low bed is rare, in addition to the university dormitory, where is there anyone who uses this, even our Yonggang University, the newly built dormitory building, is a room for four people, each person has a single bed, the old-fashioned high and low bed, and the old dormitory building of the fourth grade students is still in use." ”

Wang Lu and Xie Ling found sheet metal hands, screwdrivers and other items from the storage room downstairs, and quickly dismantled the high and low beds into a pile of large and small round and flat parts.

After getting out of bed, Wang Lu was in a good mood and was ready to deal with the matter of filling the omissions that Chen Wei confessed.

Wang Lu went to see the leakage in the bedroom, but there were actually two places, one was that the roof tiles were broken a few pieces, and the other was that a large piece of cement on the outside of the wall had fallen off, revealing the red bricks inside.

Repairs in these two places are not difficult.

Wang Lu unceremoniously uncovered a batch of green tiles with good color from the roofs of the farmhouses in the town, and found a few large plastic sheets, intending to spread them under the tiles to prevent waterproofing.

took Xie Ling to the place where the zombies were killed with an iron pulley earlier - when Xie Ling saw the zombie corpses still lying on the street, he also praised Wang Lu's ingenious methods.

Wang Lu naturally forgot his original embarrassment, and was very proud for a while.

Of course, Wang Lu didn't come here to show off his achievements to Xie Ling, what he was eyeing was the cement in the iron pulley.

Originally, the cement slurry in the trolley had solidified a long time ago, but the bulk cement and sand were still there.

Although it had rained before, the sand was not affected by this, Wang Lu even wished that the sand was drenched by the rain, because Yonggang City is a coastal city, and the sea sand is mostly used in buildings, and there is too much salt in the sea sand, which is used to build a house, and it is necessary to wash the sand and remove the salt, but the unscrupulous real estate developers are reluctant to spend more money on washing the sand, and the sand used, take a rub and put it in the mouth, you can taste the salty taste, like the Sunshine City house where Wang Lu originally lived, and after living for a long time, the cement exterior wall is oozing salt flowers. ,

This sand, mostly drenched in rain, is used as salt washing.

With sand, naturally you also need cement, and the cement spread out in the open air, after being rained, naturally cannot be used, but fortunately, there are still a few unopened packages. Wang Lu used a woodcutter to hook one of the bags, opened a small hole, looked at it, and fortunately, except for the surface layer was a little wet, the cement inside could be used.

The two of them found a few fertilizer bags, filled them with sand and cement, and wanted to transport them up the mountain.

There are too many things to bring up the mountain this time, and it will definitely not work just for two people to carry them in backpacks.

Wang Lu hit the idea on the trolley.

Flatbed two-wheeled trolleys, which are very common in farmers, are still the main means of transportation in rural areas south of the Yangtze River when it comes to cutting rice, and when it comes to cutting rice, cattle and donkeys are put on the front.

There are not many farmers in Yinjiang Town who are really engaged in farming, and most of them are doing small businesses or working in township enterprises, but a few families still retain this kind of flatbed truck.

Wang Lu had never had the idea of this kind of flatbed truck before, but he found that he couldn't spare his hands to pull the cart - when he was alone in the town to fight zombies, Wang Lu always insisted on holding the greatest vigilance, with a crossbow in one hand and a woodcutter in the other, and never let go. In this way, the supplies can only be placed in the backpack, and the slightly larger things can only be dismantled and carried up the mountain. The last bag of flour, Wang Lu was like the North Korean Amani in the movie, and walked out of the town with his head on his head, leaving a head of flour on his face and a neck.

After launching a flatbed truck from a farmer's house, Wang Lu and Xie Ling put cement, sand, and bunk beds on the cart while telling jokes about their own bags of noodles.

Xie Ling didn't know what to do, her face was a little strange, she moved her lips, she wanted to say something, but she finally held back.

Wang Lu asked Xie Ling to stand guard next to the car with a crossbow, and walked to the front of the car to pull the car, when he suddenly slapped his head: "I forgot to take the gas cylinder." ”

Hurriedly turned around and entered the small building next to him, carried two gas cylinders and a one-eye gas stove out, and said to Xie Ling while putting them in the car: "Although there is firewood on the mountain, it is too hard to let Wang Bi'an beat firewood every day, this little guy, last time he was pierced by the thorn bush and had a hand of blood, although he didn't tell me, I saw it all, and your sister Chen Wei was smoked all over the ashes every time she burned a meal." I've been trying to get a gas stove up the hill for a long time, but, you know, I'm not going to carry it alone. It's a lot better to have you. ”

Xie Ling's face became even more strange, she really couldn't help it: "Brother Wang, in fact, you can take a rope, put it on the handlebar of the car, and then put the rope on your chest, in this way, your two hands can be completely free, while pulling the car, while guarding the zombies." ”

Wang Lu - petrified. Are you really an idiot?

Thinking back to the situation when I walked down the street with a flour bag on my head, I really responded to a local saying from a stupid boy in Yonggang: Yellow and fat rice cakes are thankless.

On the way back to Yashan, Wang Lu lowered his head and pulled the car, except for heavy gasps, he didn't say anything.

Xie Ling followed behind the car, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart - she really didn't have a hard time seeing people carry the burden, thinking about it, when Wang Lu was fighting zombies in the town alone, his mind was highly nervous, and he couldn't think of it for a while, but there were also some. It's just that his mouth is fast, although he can't say that he is counting, but in Wang Lu's heart, he will be more or less unhappy.

Xie Ling hesitated for a long time, seeing that the car was far away from the town, no longer having to worry about the surprise attack of the zombies, she quickened her pace, walked to the car, put the crossbow in the car, leaned down and stretched out her hand to help Wang Lu push the cart, and said: "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, what I said just now was too self-righteous, you have to protect Sister Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an alone, and you have to kill zombies to find supplies, you tense your nerves every day, and occasionally have negligence-, no, no, I'm not saying that you are negligent, you see, if you hadn't cleaned up the zombies at the entrance of the town, I'm not nervous at all when I'm walking on the street, so I think about what I don't have, and I think of this way to set up a car......"

Wang Lu stopped, turned his head, and smiled: "What are you thinking, Brother Wang is too late to be happy, when I pulled the car just now, I was thinking about how happy you Sister Chen Wei should be when she saw this gas cylinder and gas stove, and she must have to cook us a good table." It's all thanks to you. ”

Xie Ling was stunned: "Brother Wang......"

Wang Lule said happily: "Brother Wang's problem of losing three and four can't be changed in this biochemical apocalypse, in the past, every morning in order to find the car key, I was scolded by your sister Chen Wei, what forgot her birthday, didn't recharge Wang Bi'an's meal card, and did not do anything less." In the future, you have to give me more reminders and ideas. One person is poor, and everyone is wise. ”

Xie Ling responded crisply: "Hey! ”
