Chapter 26: Different Paths
"Rhubarb" is slightly weak, but still uses its two front paws to hold the furry children around. It closed its eyes slightly, and it didn't know whether it was awake or asleep.
Yang Xiaohai saw the youngest milk dog "Jingada" turn over, change his posture and continue to feed, but his thoughts drifted farther and farther away. He recalled the experience of meeting "Rhubarb", and couldn't help but feel a little funny: Why did "Rhubarb" get close to him so easily? It's just a matter of being close, how can you follow a stranger home without crutches? Do you try to hold a dirt dog on the road? Dirt dogs! Very vigilant! It's easy to bite you all over the place!
The reason for this can only be that "rhubarb" has had the experience of production before, so it will be intimate with humans. And if he is not infected, he must have a relatively safe place to live. This is also a necessary safe environment for "rhubarb" to give birth to puppies. Therefore, there is a scene where Yang Xiaohai was saved by "Rhubarb".
After a long time, maybe it can be summed up in one sentence, but it is nothing more than "each takes what he needs"!
Yang Xiaohai needs the force of "rhubarb", and the latter needs a delivery room. If Wu Yi doesn't run, I believe that "Rhubarb" will also accept him! Thinking of the "rhubarb" being lazy and unable to lift up all the way, the behavior of "rhubarb" has an explanation.
Let's ask, who is willing to flutter with a big belly? If Yang Xiaohai hadn't opened the door, "Rhubarb" would not have taken the initiative to protect its production area; If it weren't for the "rhubarb" action traction, it would not have moved the tire gas.
Perhaps, the last puppy was eaten by "rhubarb", which may be the result of strenuous exercise! If you can think like a human being, should "Rhubarb" thank him for providing the delivery room and help deliver the baby, or should he resent the loss of his last baby?
Yang Xiaohai shook his head, expelling strange and dangerous thoughts from his mind. As the most loyal friend of mankind, Yang Xiaohai really didn't want to think too badly of them. Tired of sitting, he stood up quietly and walked down lightly.
Nothing was said all night. The next day, Yang Xiaohai, who was sleeping sweetly, opened his eyes in the noise.
It's like a renovation site, and my ears are full of "ding-ding-ding" sounds. Yang Xiaohai, who had the urge to get up, put the quilt on his head, and immediately sighed helplessly: "Hey Xiba"!
Close your eyes and go out and touch the "bathroom". As soon as I wanted to open the floodgates, I suddenly remembered that I had already been away from home for more than a month, and the location of the "bathroom" could not be the same. opened his eyes tightly and looked around, so he met Wang Qing who was holding a frying pan and wearing an apron around his waist. Yang Xiaohai hurriedly raised his hands and smirked awkwardly: "Morning!" ”
His eyes drifted over Yang Xiaohai's loose pants, and Wang Qing said lightly: "I can't cook in the room, and I don't want to disturb 'Rhubarb', so I can only be here." The entire basement floor is just this empty spot. Got you arguing? Bear with me! ”
Yang Xiaohai didn't speak, and in a few breaths, his expression returned to normal, even if he was only wearing a pair of pants, but it was a quadrilateral type of movement, and he could barely see people.
Seeing Wang Qing holding the familiar frying pan, and there was a fried egg in it trembling, Ha Lazi flowed down uncontrollably.
After taking a long mouthful of saliva, Yang Xiaohai was slightly surprised: "Cooked? What the hell? ”
"There's a stove under the bed!"
"No, I'm asking where I got the gas?"
"There are a lot of gas canisters!" Wang Qing replied puzzled.
"Gas?" Yang Xiaohai was confused. Looks like he's lived for a month, and he's never seen this thing, huh?
"It was put with a hydrogen bottle. And gasoline, diesel or something, it smells. It's just across the street from my room, don't you see? ”
"......" Yang Xiaohai was speechless, he couldn't explain to Wang Qing that he only cared about fetching water, eating, and sleeping for a month, right? Sometimes Yang Xiaohai himself wonders, how did a month pass? Always sleepy, lying down is a whole day. There is nothing wrong with being alone, and when I compare it with Wang Qing, I immediately feel abnormal.
With a sigh, Yang Xiaohai was stunned: "How long has it been since we were separated yesterday?" ”
"If you don't mention it, I still want to ask! What time did you come down last night? It's almost night, isn't it? Are you the god of sleep, 'Hypnos'? I've slept for a day and a night, and I still can't wake up! In the morning and at noon, there were calls for dinner, but you never responded. We don't understand, we don't dare to ask, maybe you are like this every day? ”
Yang Xiaohai scratched his head and was speechless. How did he know why? Since I don't understand, I simply appeased my five visceral temples that had eaten raw fish and shrimp for a month and canned food most of the time.
snatched the love pot, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, and put the fried egg between two fingers and sent it to his mouth. With a few stirs on the tip of the tongue, the mellow and fragrant flavor spreads throughout the taste buds. Yang Xiaohai once again recalled the taste of "home".
After chewing carefully, Yang Xiaohai pointed out the core of the problem for a while: "That, where did the egg come from?" It's a rarity. Speaking of this, Wang Qing looked a little embarrassed: "I've always brought it with me." Wu Yi was carrying a net bag containing all our possessions. Because I want to chase you, I will keep it......"
Pursue? Hunt and kill, okay? Wang Qing was afraid that Yang Xiaohai's old hatred would be difficult to dissipate, so she deliberately picked words and said. Actually, she thinks too much. Yang Xiaohai's heart is big, but it is not something that ordinary people can measure. Besides, the bullet has long been squeezed out of the shoulder by the strong muscles, and even the wound is already healed.
"Eggs are there to save lives. It was also by chance that we discovered that the smell of raw eggs can distract the 'infected'. Although the time was short, it was enough for us to escape. It's no wonder that it was not clear on TV, and experts only said that the virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through bodily fluids. We don't dare to eat indiscriminately for fear of being infected. If we hadn't met you, we would have starved to death in the granary. ”
Thinking of Wang Qing's surprise when they first saw fishing, Yang Xiaohai couldn't help but nod again and again.
If it weren't for Yang Xiaohai's strange physique, he would never try it arbitrarily. After all, you only live once. For old otaku, the act of daring to eat crabs really can't tell whether it is brave or cautious. Anyway, the result is good.
Through observation, Yang Xiaohai also found that smaller mammals are hard to find. At least since he came out of the house, he hasn't seen a single mouse. It was as if the staggering number of rat legions had suddenly gone extinct en masse.
There are many more weirdnesses. As the temperature rises, so do the hateful flies. However, they have always been stinky, and they are never surrounded by corrupted "inpatients". I don't know if mosquitoes will bite the "infected"?
The reverie caused by an egg ended here, and Yang Xiaohai, who had a great appetite, no longer thought nonsense, and asked rhetorically: "What else?" Just one egg can't fill your stomach. ”
Wang Qing pouted to the side: "Oh, it's all there." If you heat it three times and don't eat it again, I'm afraid it will spoil. There was a small table beside Wang Qing. There are four plates of stir-fry on the table. The spiky white rice is steaming hot. The four stir-fried dishes are: steamed crucian carp, braised river prawns, canned braised pork and cold cuts, and a canned hawthorn with bacon.
Seeing this scene, saliva gushed out again. As if intentionally, and as if showing off, Wang Qing wiped her hands on her apron and sighed faintly: "I was going to have another tomato omelette so that I could make up a five-blessing coming, but you ......couldn't afford it."
"Hard work...... Yang Xiaohai was very perfunctory.
Yang Xiaohai strode closer to the small table, and reached out to grab the nearest steamed fish. Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the air. Wang Qing looked disdainful: "Look at your claws." ”
Yang Xiaohai spread his palms as he said, and saw ten black nails. If you weren't sane, you would have thought you were infected again! There are still some yellow and black stains on the back of my hand, I don't know what they are? I feel sick when I look at it.
If you stay alone for a long time, personal hygiene will inevitably be neglected. Yang Xiaohai took the chopsticks handed by Wang Qing and decided that he must take a thorough bath when he is free. But until then, it's better to enjoy the food.
In the midst of the wind and clouds, the four plates bottomed out. Yang Xiaohai wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and asked casually: "What's wrong with the 'Rhubarb' family?" ”
"'Rhubarb' drank some water and didn't eat." Wang Qing opened her mouth and came.
"How many small ones?" Looking around, the old otaku was obviously not full.
"Please, they can't open their eyes, what can they eat?" Wang Qing received the dishes and chopsticks in one place, and the movements were very skillful.
"That's right, but I'm still a little uneasy. What, you're busy, I'll go up and take a look. Seeing that there was really nothing to cook, and he didn't want to continue to cook cookies, Yang Xiaohai had to get up and leave.
Wang Qing silently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she didn't mention the matter of leaving without thinking, and Yang Xiaohai seemed to have forgotten about this stubble.
No matter what Wang Qing planned, Yang Xiaohai quickly went up to the hall. I thought that "Rhubarb" was playing with five children, but I didn't think about it, but I only saw empty sheets.
Fortunately, they were soon found at the heel of the iron gate. The five little ones didn't even open their eyes, but they were able to walk around "Rhubarb". They circle around their majestic mothers, as if they are coquettish. Compared to "Rhubarb", the five little ones are just too small.
Seeing Yang Xiaohai, "Rhubarb" slowly raised his front paws, and the sharp tips of his claws dotted a few times at the gate. Yang Xiaohai said tentatively: "Isn't it okay? Don't do confinement and want to go out to play? If there is another 'infected' behind the door, you have just given birth to a baby......"
"Whew......"
"Rhubarb" became impatient. Yang Xiaohai frowned and took out the magnetic card.
"Bang la la......" The iron door slowly opened.
Inside and outside the iron gate, there was a pile of stinking wreckage. The air was filled with the smell of nausea. It's quiet.
In the sound of "whoosh", "Rhubarb" used his big head to push all five hairy children to Yang Xiaohai.
The old otaku suddenly looked embarrassed: "'Rhubarb', I'm a pure man, no milk!" ”
