Chapter 18: Who's the Sword?
Yang Xiaohai was very bold: "What is eating and drinking?" Don't be long-winded, brother will take you to a big dinner! Young men and women looked at each other. The man muttered something in a low voice, and was glared at by Wang Qing. Wu Yi was not annoyed, he immediately closed his mouth tightly, and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the rickety car.
Yang Xiaohai looked up and found a tall and thin big boy with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, so he also laughed. Move to the side to make some space for the two of you to push the cart together.
Yang Xiaohai didn't go home because of the two more people - even if he met a living person, the water still had to be drip after all. He explained softly to Wang Qing: "I came out to fetch water. Before I met you, it was enough to get water once a day or two. You will have to do this work in the future. Without running water, let's not become monks without water to eat! ”
"How can you get tired of it...... Look at what you said, you are willing to take us in, you are already a good person. We thank you for eight generations of ancestors, we don't have time to get tired of it, how can you be like that, I don't know what to do...""No, I won't ......" The two of them responded again and again, and their words and actions were extremely deferential.
Yang Xiaohai just wanted to joke, but he didn't think that the two of them would take it seriously. He pursed his lips boredly and took the initiative to divert the topic: "I'll hide there, it's not far from here." Let's put it this way, there is no shortage of anything there, but there is no running water and a shortage of people. Isn't this next to a reservoir? As long as you are careful, that one is really thirsty and hungry, and is not afraid of wind and rain, and the 'infected' is also the end, the end ......"
Yang Xiaohai started to play. However, the sister and brother didn't seem to catch this point, and Mu Ne's "hehe" a few times can be regarded as a response. "As soon as you come, I'll be relaxed in the future!" Under the awkward chat, the atmosphere did not ease much, but became even more boring.
Within a few minutes, Yang Xiaohai saw the door: Wu Yi focused on Wang Qing in everything. He is just a stuffy oil bottle, he only knows how to pull the cart with his head down, and he doesn't know how to look up at the road. He approached Wang Qing several times, but he also listened to it and turned a blind eye. Even if Yang Xiaohai took the initiative to talk to him, he only got some meaningless replies such as "um" and "ah".
Seeing that he really couldn't talk, Yang Xiaohai simply only talked to Wang Qing. Wu Yi really has no opinion on this. If he hadn't seen the intimate appearance of the two with their fingers interlocked, he would really believe that the two were sisters and brothers. However, after all, he hadn't talked to anyone for two months, so Yang Xiaohai simply let go, ignoring the "stuffy gourd", and only caring about communicating with Wang Qing. And Wu Yi was completely reduced to a coolie for a cart.
"Well, you're cousins, aren't you? It really doesn't look like it. You're a lot more delicate than your brother. Speaking of your parents, why are you two tired? Are there any 'survivors' around here? Well, how did you two survive until now? Yang Xiaohai had nothing to say. It was an unintentional remark, but it caused the faces of the two to change greatly!
First was Wu Yi, who sent the small cart away, and suddenly straightened up. And Wang Qing's face was full of shock. Seeing that Yang Xiaohai didn't make any moves, the two quickly calmed down their expressions. Wang Qing saw Yang Xiaohai looking at him in astonishment, and immediately lowered his head to caress the folds on his clothes, and Wu Yi also held the handlebar again.
Putting his hair behind his ears, Wang Qingqiang smiled and said, "Hey, what's there to talk about, I'm scattered." We are so miserable, we can't see a raw face at the end of the day. No, did you say it on TV?
Infected people, viruses or something, it's too scary! That guy dies if he touches it, and he dies next to it. Scared, we went to the cellar after watching TV.
This drill is not tight, a cat is a small two months. Thanks to the cabbage stored in the cellar for the winter, we pointed to this place to live. Otherwise, the calf would have been finished a long time ago.
No, the cabbage sticks are all finished, alas, mom, the hungry eyes are full of gold stars, I really can't stand it, so I think about it and find something to stutter. How else to say that our lives are good, didn't we just run into Brother Yang as soon as this came out?
What, Brother Yang, is there anything to fight hunger? "Wang Qing's northeast dialect is a thief. The small mouth was like a machine gun, and the speed of speech was so fast that Yang Xiaohai was stunned on the spot.
"Let's get some water together, I still have to carry two steamed buns?" Yang Xiaohai replied angrily.
"Brother Yang, tell me, do you have anything to eat at home? Do you have chocolate? I want to eat white, I heard that black is not good for the body. By the way, Brother Yang, do you have any coffee? Is it the kind of thing that eats once and doesn't sleep for a day? ”
"Coffee, there is! There were a lot of them, boxes and boxes piled up by the wall. Drink it every day, you won't be able to drink it all in two years! "Yang Xiaohai can't cry or laugh, it's 2030, and there are still people who don't know coffee? Could it be that the home of the two is not in the northeast of the national company, but far away from Feizhou?
"Hey, this is what you said, Brother Yang, don't feel distressed if you take too much!" As Wang Qing spoke, she naturally hugged Yang Xiaohai's arm. The girl's fragrance drilled into her nose, and the old otaku became ape-hearted. Once upon a time, how could Yang Xiaohai have such treatment?
was hugged by Wang Qing, Yang Xiaohai suddenly felt that the heart of the otaku was standing upright, and he couldn't hold it back. In order to avoid embarrassment, he immediately reined in his thoughts, pouted his ass and replied: "I found an intact 'shelter', you are locals, and the specific situation should be better than me." ”
"Yes, yes. We're so familiar! After planting the land, there was no less chatter there. Eh, Brother Yang, the 'shelter' is locked, right? How do you get in and drop? Just wanted to tell the story of the black card, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Wu Yi was also sideways in his ear, and his heart immediately became tired.
"It's always open, and I couldn't believe it when I first arrived. There was no place to go left or right, so I had the courage to go in and take a look, and it turned out that, ha, nothing happened. Don't say 'infected', I haven't seen a single cat or dog. As soon as the door closes, I'll just stay! ”
Yang Xiaohai opened his eyes and said nonsense. Wang Qing and Wu Yi were convinced of this. Wang Qing was very annoyed, and actually complained to Yang Xiaohai: "If I knew this, I wouldn't have to gnaw on the cabbage gang for two months......"
The road to the reservoir was not long, and it took a few words to reach the water's edge. Yang Xiaohai went straight to the water's edge and picked up the net to collect the fish. In the long green cage, the silver light flashed wildly, and the shrimp jumped around, and at a glance, you could see that you had gained a lot. Yang Xiaohai slapped his face and motioned for Wang Qing and the two to give way back.
He first pulled out a hollowed-out net pocket from his butt pocket and placed it over the unbroken ground cage. Then ask the two of them to grab the other end of the cage and lift it high, shaking and retracting. As the cage shakes, fish, crabs, shrimps, snails and other aquatic products fall into the nylon nets.
"Brother Yang is amazing! That's enough to eat for a week! Wang Qing slapped Yang Xiaohai with a small sycophant. The cheap words made Yang Xiaohai frown secretly.
He's not stupid. O locals! Isn't fishing in a cage and hanging a fish a means of life for the locals? They live on this to eat!
When the net was raised, the two of them were unfamiliar and not fake. Yang Xiaohai had the heart to ask rhetorically, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back into his stomach. He just replied lightly: "It's nothing. See, there are still eight unopened ground cages under the water. I used to be the only one, and the amount of food was limited. Now with you, the food and aquatic products are enough, but it will be harder. Yang Xiaohai said to Wu Yi.
After all, it's not appropriate to ask Wang Qing to go into the water and collect the net or something. It seems that he felt Yang Xiaohai's kindness, or after a while, Wu Yi was not so restrained. He opened his mouth and said the first sentence since he saw Yang Xiaohai: "Is this thing eaten by people?" ”
Wu Yi's words were very choking, even very polite, but Yang Xiaohai was not annoyed at all. He replied slowly, "I know what you mean. Those who swim in the water, fly in the sky, grow in the ground, and include poultry are all normal. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaohai paused, and said while thinking: "These are all things I have seen with my own eyes and tried with my own eyes. Although I have eaten all these things, I am in a special situation, so I may not be able to do it accurately. Whether you want to use this as rations or not is up to you. Wang Qing and the two nodded again and again almost without thinking.
Yang continued: "I don't know the cause of the virus outbreak, but I think it's very likely that it can only infect mammals. At least everything else is still alive. As he spoke, Yang Xiaohai pinched the clamp and picked up a small fish. It is a common silver carp in Hupo. The little fish shook desperately, but it couldn't jump out of its fingers.
"Truth be told, the virus is very targeted. Because it attacks all living things indiscriminately, and it doesn't change the planet beyond recognition! Yang Xiaohai patiently explained. In fact, this was just his family's words, and in the years that followed, he realized how narrow his perception was.
But how things change, that's a matter for later. At this moment, seeing that Yang Xiaohai accurately understood what he meant, Wu Yi nodded excitedly. It can be seen that Wu Yi really doesn't like to talk, and he really can't speak.
In the face of lively aquatic products, Wang Qing and the others were willing to exert their strength. Since the enthusiasm was high, Yang Xiaohai set up two more fishing nets. Stuffed the net pocket full of Dengden before he stopped. Wang Qing originally planned to raise all the remaining six ground cages.
As soon as Yang Xiaohai mentioned the net, she dispelled her thoughts. It's easy to get up the net, so you have to take it back, right? In addition, although the ground cage can catch aquatic products, it also takes time. You can't cage down into the water, so the water tribe will line up to go to righteousness generously, right?
Fill the 25kg bucket and tie the pocket full of aquatic products tightly. Yang Xiaohai put his hands behind his back, and in Wang Qing's compliments, the group returned with a full load. In just one journey, Wang Qing chattered and praised Yang Xiaohai as the first good person in heaven and earth. Fortunately, the road was not far, and in the embarrassment of goosebumps falling all over the ground, the three of them walked to the big iron gate.
As soon as they stood still, the two tacitly set their eyes on Yang Xiaohai. Without a trace of hesitation, the old otaku was full of pride: "What are you doing with me?" Push it, the door is not locked! ”
Wang Qing and the others were suspicious, but they still put their four hands on the iron door. Pushed, the iron door did not move. "Make a little effort, the bearing is rusty, and it hasn't been maintained for too long!" The two of them could only push the door hard, and Wu Yi's sincere teeth came out.
Yang Xiaohai sneaked in front of the LCD screen, and when the two of them lowered their heads and pushed the door, they took out the black card and quietly stuffed it into the card slot. "It's open, it's open!" Under Wu Yi's cheers, the heavy iron door slowly opened to both ends. "Gala-la-la-......"
