Chapter 16 Extreme Heat, Rodent Infestation
When Lu Zhifeng approached, Jiang Sicai saw that his face and hands were bitten by rats, but they were basically bandaged and not treated.
The girl on his back was covered by sun-protective clothing, I don't know if he was injured, his little face was red, his spirit was very weak, his eyes couldn't be opened, and he yawned vigorously.
Even so, she insisted on raising her head, showing a sweet smile, and greeted Jiang Si and Jiang Chengwu: "Sister, grandpa is good~"
After saying hello, she was sleepy and buried her head on Lu Zhifeng's shoulder.
Lu Zhifeng explained his intentions: "Niuniu is sick, I want to change some medicine and some food and clothes from you." ”
Jiang Si reminded him to take precautions against mosquitoes, but he didn't expect the rat swarm to flood last night, so he picked up Niuniu and hid in the narrow weapons room, only to escape by luck.
The supplies stored at home were completely eaten up by the rats, and they didn't even have decent clothes.
He has a gun and can go and grab supplies.
But his physical condition is not very good this morning, and he doesn't want to take Niuniu on an adventure with him, thinking about it, it's better to find Jiang Sijia to exchange it, the value of a gun should be able to exchange everything that their father and daughter urgently need.
In fact, he also guarded against it, he could use the equipment in the weapon room to let Jiang Si and them adopt Niuniu.
Therefore, he wanted to use a pistol to establish a relationship with the Jiang family first.
Bullets need to be consumed, and then they will continue to come and go.
Jiang Si looked at him meaningfully, "What do you want to exchange, at this time, food, water and medicine are all valuables." ”
Jiang Si opened her mouth, explaining that she was the one in charge of the Jiang family.
Lu Zhifeng took out a handful of Colt from his arms and said to Jiang Si: "I'll exchange this for you." Then he pulled out Colt's magazine and said, "There are ten rounds in it." ”
Jiang Si had always wanted to get a gun, but the end of the world was too sudden, and she was unprepared.
Lu Zhifeng took the initiative to give her a gun to change, Jiang Si was naturally 10,000 willing, and did not hide his desire for a gun: "You give the gun to my grandfather to check first." ”
Lu Zhifeng was surprised that Jiang Si was so vigilant, and said cautiously: "The magazine can't be given to you now." ”
"Okay."
He threw it with one hand, and the gun threw an arc in the air, and it fell steadily into Jiang Chengwu's hands.
Jiang Chengwu took the entire pistol apart and looked at it, assembled it again, and nodded to Jiang Si, "There is no problem with the gun." ”
Since there is no problem with the goods, it is necessary to clarify how much of the materials to be traded.
Having a gun means that there is absolute strength in this area, and Lu Zhifeng handing over the gun means that he and his daughter will be in more danger in the future.
Lu Zhifeng didn't want the lion to open his mouth and make Jiang Si and them dissatisfied, but because these materials were targeted again, and the weapons room couldn't put too many things.
He thought twice and said: "I want 1,000 catties of rice, 100 catties of soybeans, two bags of flour, five bags of salt, four sets of clothes and shoes that Niuniu and I can wear, four sets of bedding all year round, two sets of bedding, trauma medicine, cold and fever medicine, diarrhea medicine, and penicillin." ”
The things he proposed were not worth a lot of money in normal times.
But these are the last days.
These things he wants may be more valuable than weapons.
Moreover, their family has grabbed a total of three acres of grain, and there are still so many people in their family, and they don't know when it will stop in the last days, so many materials will be taken out on the surface, which will send Lu Zhifeng a signal that their family has a lot of materials.
Jiang Si frowned and said: "Uncle Lu, you want too much, a thousand catties of rice, we will give you at most five hundred catties, we only have one bag of flour at home, we can give it to you, some medicine is given to you, we don't have it, I can only give you some cold and fever medicine, disinfectant alcohol and band-aids, and besides, ten bullets is too little, you have to give us at least twenty." ”
Lu Zhifeng was resolute: "I can only change it like this, otherwise, I won't change it." ”
Jiang Chengwu squeezed a look at Jiang Si, to the effect that he would have given them a change or a change for them, Lu Zhifeng could have grabbed it, but he chose to change it for their family, and he was a person with guaranteed personal character.
Jiang Si also wanted to change it for Niuniu's sake, but she couldn't change it so easily, and, seriously, if she took these things into the city now, she might be able to exchange them for a military engineering team.
Jiang Si saw that a small peachy spot appeared on his skin, and he was already infected with rat bite fever, so he said to Lu Zhifeng: "Let's use potatoes and sweet potatoes to make up 500 catties, give Niuniu some toiletries, and give you a bottle of antibiotics, what do you think?" ”
Lu Zhifeng is a forest ranger, he knows that his wound is itchy and unbearable, what is the reason, taking antibiotics in time can effectively curb the germs, he can live well, in order to give his daughter the best protection.
Moreover, Jiang Si's attitude is so resolute, it seems that there are indeed not many medicines in the house in reserve.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes can also be left for a few days, so let's make do with them first.
Lu Zhifeng finally relented, "Okay! ”
Jiang Si and Jiang Chengwu returned home, Jiang Linhai just opened the toilet door, cleaned up the feces inside, watered it with cement, and sealed the passage of the toilet to prevent the rats from coming out of it for the second time.
High temperature can effectively sterilize, and the poured cement can quickly harden.
Seeing Jiang Si and Jiang Chengwu coming back, my mother and grandmother breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's going on outside?" Seeing that Jiang Si suddenly conjured up the things that Lu Zhifeng needed from the space, he asked again, "What is this going to do?" ”
Jiang Si conjured up the pistol he had just changed, "I exchanged it with Lu Zhifeng, the things he had stored at home were all mouses, Niuniu had a fever, he was bitten by rats again, and he had no choice but to take the gun to our house to change." ”
Grandma was happy that she had a gun at home, and her ability to protect herself was stronger, but she sighed again: "Lu Zhifeng gave us the gun, and so much food was shipped back, and he and Niuniu didn't know if they could keep it." ”
Jiang Chengwu knows the inside story of some rangers, and said: "If you catch a few stealers of game every year, he can accumulate a lot of shotguns, don't worry too much, since he dares to change, there must be hole cards that have not been used, and there is no harm in making friends with him." ”
Grandma nodded with relief, "That's good," and asked, "There are so many things, will people see them if you just move them like this?" ”
Jiang Si said: "I promised Lu Zhifeng that when the rats have passed, he will come back to carry things at night, and grandpa will send him a basket first, and spread some firewood on it, which should not be too important." ”
"Then you have to be safe."
"Hmm."
Jiang Chengwu arrived at the watchtower where Lu Zhifeng and Niuniu were, and the iron ladder was put away by Lu Zhifeng.
Jiang Chengwu shook the bell several times, and the hollow watchtower gradually put down a sturdy basket, Lu Zhifeng asked Jiang Chengwu to put the things in the basket and pull the things up again.
Lu Zhifeng was weak, and he couldn't turn the rope hard, Niuniu got off the spring bed and used her best strength to help her father.
Peeling off the blades of grass on it, a basket full of supplies was gradually revealed, and both father and daughter smiled happily.
Jiang Chengwu was on the way back, but was stopped by several young men.
