Chapter 54: A Shadow in the Night
"The hard dish is coming!" The fat man was overjoyed, and hurriedly poured out the porridge in the bowl and prepared to step forward.
"What a hard dish, that's a curfew patrol car." Qin Yue grabbed him.
"Curfew?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, grabbed Qin Yue's arm and looked at it in front of him, "No, it's seven and one, thank you, Lao Qin." ”
"Don't say it's useless," Qin Yue withdrew his arm, "Hurry up and set up the tent while there is still some light." ”
"Oops, how did I forget this!" The fat man slapped his forehead and hurriedly turned around to greet Xie Xuan and He Shan.
Han Fang clenched his hands anxiously at this time, "It's all curfew, why hasn't Qiqi come back yet......"
Qiao Hongxia stepped forward and comforted: "Don't worry, maybe I'll be back later." ”
Han Fang hurriedly said: "Impossible, no one is allowed to go on the street after the curfew." ”
Qiao Bing said: "Maybe I was chosen, but I haven't had time to inform you?" ”
Qiao Hongxia continued: "What Xiaoice said is, let's not worry about it first, and then wait and see." ”
Han Fang nodded, "Then I'll go back first...... After speaking, he walked towards his tent with two bowls of clear soup.
At the same time, Qin Yue's three tents were also propped up, with their backs against a large barbed wire wall and improvised adobe walls on both sides.
As night fell, so did the temperature.
Fires were started in areas where tents were concentrated, and there was no ban on fireworks in the security zone, despite a curfew, in consideration of the cooler weather and lighting.
Now food is what the survivors need most, combustibles are everywhere, Xie Xuan and Shen Kai quickly brought two large bundles of rotten wood from the opposite side.
In order not to attract the attention of others, Qin Yue deliberately planted the fire in a leeward place, the fat man and Xie Xuan set up a pot to boil water, Su Xue and Qiao Bing and Qiao Hongxia worked together to prepare Qiao Hongxia's best sour soup noodle fish for everyone.
He Shan and Yao Aiguo continued to improve the adobe wall, Shen Kai and Chen Yao gave the two of them a hand, and Xiao Zhuang was alone in the tent.
After a while, a large pot of steaming sour soup noodle fish came out of the pot, and the aroma of rice wafted with the heat, and a few figures stood up in front of a tent not far away and looked at them, and the fat man looked back with a wooden stick the thickness of a baby's arm, and He Shan and Xie Xuan also stood up.
Qin Yue walked over and took a look, "It's okay, let them see, as long as they don't make excessive moves, don't care." ”
The fat man grabbed the wooden stick with both hands, raised his legs and pushed his knees into two, and spat with a fierce face, and then the figures turned around and walked back.
He Shan said: "Brother Qin, it seems that this safe zone is not safe, I think we still have to schedule shifts tonight." ”
Qin Yue nodded, "And we have to fight the spirit of twelve, in this era with no bottom, people's hearts are even more unpredictable." ”
Xie Xuan lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yue, when you went to buy a box this afternoon, someone asked me if I wanted a knife, a piece of gold pimple, all of which were imported. ”
Qin Yue frowned, "Not for the time being, it's better for us to be cautious when we first arrive, and wait to find out the environment in the safe zone." ”
At this time, Su Xue's voice came from beckoning to start the meal, and Qin Yue said to Chen Yao, who was helping, "Yaoyao, go and call Aunt Han over to eat together." ”
Qiao Hongxia looked over with some gratitude, "Thank you, Xiao Qin." ”
Qin Yue smiled, "The information that Aunt Han gave us is very useful, this meal is as it should be." ”
Chen Yao quickly walked back with Han Fang, and when she saw a large pot full of sour noodle soup, Han Fang swallowed her saliva and said, "I'll go back and get the bowl." Then he trotted all the way back to his tent, and it took five or six minutes before he came running with two empty bowls.
Su Xue took the bowl and filled her with two large bowls, Han Fang didn't eat it, but carefully carried the bowl back to her tent as before, but this time she did come back quickly.
"Aunt Han, this noodle should be eaten while it is hot, otherwise it will be clumped later." Su Xue kindly reminded.
"Keep the noodles for Kiki, I've already drunk the porridge." Han Fang smiled, "Which of you has a watch, what time is it?" ”
"Eight o'clock soon." Qin Yue looked at his watch.
"It's eight o'clock?" When Han Fang heard this, she became anxious again, "No, I'm going to find Qiqi!" Then he turned and walked down the road.
"Xiao Fang!" Qiao Hongxia hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, "Don't worry, do we have any of us going here with Qiqi?" ”
"Kiki's kid is an introvert, and we've never seen him talk to anyone in the week we've been here." Han Fang shook her head anxiously.
"Could it be that Brother Qi passed the interview and was retained directly?" Qiao Bing said analytically.
"Then, at least I have to ask someone to tell me......" Han Fang seemed to believe Qiao Bing's words very much, and his attitude suddenly relaxed.
"I said Aunt Han, didn't you just say that this kid in your family is introverted, how can he ask someone to tell you if he is a newcomer?" The fat man stepped forward and answered.
"That's right, Xiaofang, according to me, let's not worry, Qiqi, this kid has been cautious since he was a child, and he will definitely be fine, I'll accompany you and my sister to talk well tonight." Qiao Hongxia comforted Han Fang.
Han Fang nodded, and was held by Qiao Hongxia and walked back to the tent.
After eating, the others gathered around and talked and went back to the tent, in order to let everyone rest well, Qin Yue divided everyone into two groups, according to the system of two shifts, each group for one night.
Nightly duty hours are from the beginning of the curfew to the end of the curfew, and in principle, two people work for three hours each.
However, in light of the current situation, team members can freely arrange their time and deploy partners, either for three hours or four hours for two people, provided that someone must be on duty during the curfew.
The first group is Qin Yue, Xie Xuan, Su Xue, Chen Yao, and Shen Kai.
The second group is Fatty, Xiaozhuang, He Shan, Yao Aiguo, Qiao Hongxia, and Qiao Bing.
Tonight it was Qin Yue and their group, considering that Su Xue had promised to teach Chen Yao to study medicine before, Qin Yue arranged the two of them in the first shift, Xie Xuan and Shen Kai were on the second shift, and he himself was on duty until dawn.
After Qin Yue finished arranging, he walked around the camp again, and then he got back into their tent, the fat man was already snoring, and Xie Xuan was also smashing his mouth and talking in his sleep.
The reason why Qin Yue divided the fat man and Xie Xuan together was precisely because of the size of these two people, plus he was just able to lie down.
The other two tents are slightly larger, so it's just right for men and women.
Not long after Qin Yue lay down, he also fell asleep to the snoring of the fat man, and slept until more than five o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up, he didn't see Xie Xuan, so he got up and got out of the tent, and replaced Xie Xuan and Shen Kai, who were chatting in front of the fire.
As the sky gets brighter, the tents clinging to the temporary settlements look like sarcomas parasitic on the epidermis, and the people who wander through them are parasites emerging from these sarcomas.
The white smoke from the burning air dispersed in the wind, and the buildings on the other side of the road could clearly see the figures of those who had obtained official residence permits.
The whistle sounded, the patrol car drove slowly, and the land that had been silent all night gradually woke up......
