Chapter 50: I want to change my bed
made a decision, Liang Qiuwen changed the topic again and talked about things before the end of the world.
It's only been less than two months, but I feel that such a peaceful and prosperous world is the same in my previous life.
After dinner, the family sat in the yard drinking tea and chatting, the dog ingots were the baby bumps of Liang Yingsheng's parents, and they were lying next to them and gnawing on the stick bones specially cooked for it.
At this time, a female voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate: "Is Lan Xin at home, I'm Lin Xiu!" ”
Lin Xiu is Yuan's mother's name.
Zhou Lanxin hurriedly snatched the stick bone from Yuanbao's mouth and coaxed it to eat in the kennel.
Yuanbao was taught well, and he really understood.
When he opened the door, he saw Lin Xiu with wet hair standing outside, Xu felt that his image was not good, Lin Xiu smiled awkwardly, "I just washed my hair, Lan Xin, is Zhimo free now?" ”
Zhou Lanxin nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"My mom, she has a terrible headache, and I want to ask Zhimo to take a look."
Liang Zhimo walked out, carrying a medical kit in his hand, "Aunt Lin, let's go." ”
Lin Xiu nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, then please leave it to you." ”
Liang Yingsheng also followed, carrying a bag of wild vegetables handed to her by Zhou Lanxin.
Grandma Chen's old house is quite large, and one room near the highway used to be used as a small shop.
Now that this room has been scrapped, and the shelves inside are still full of dust, Liang Yingsheng looks at it with some touch, thinking that when he was a child, he and his younger brother came here to buy spicy noodles for five cents.
If you meet Grandma Chen to see the store, she will quietly stuff the sister and brother with an extra bubble gum.
Bubble gum is cheap and tastes saccharin in the mouth, but for them as children, it is delicious.
Who would have thought that they would meet the end of the world?
As the sun sets, the sky is getting darker, and even though there is an open yard outside the gate, the inside of the house is still dark.
Lin Xiu hurriedly took a candle from the suitcase and lit it, only to find Grandma Chen lying on the wooden sofa, trembling all over, her forehead covered with sweat.
"Mom?" Lin Xiu was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and shook Grandma Chen's shoulder, "What's wrong with you, Mom?" ”
Grandma Chen's voice was hoarse and she spoke weakly, "Okay, it seems to be a little fever, it's not a big deal, Yuan Rong and Xuyang are weeding in the vegetable garden next to me." ”
Lin Xiu took the candle and put it next to Grandma Chen, and then looked at Liang Yingsheng's sister and brother: "I'm really sorry, it's too late to clean up the house, at present, this living room is clean, most of the furniture is seriously rotten, and Uncle Yuan can only repair it tomorrow when it is dawn." ”
Grandma Chen's son, Yuan Rong, worked as a carpenter for a few years before moving to another job.
"It's okay, Zhimo, help Grandma Chen take a look first."
Liang Zhimo opened the medical box and took out a flashlight from it to open it, and the room instantly lit up a lot.
The medical kit he prepared for himself before the end of the world, and he had all the usual tools, saying that he was prepared.
Who would have thought that now it really comes in handy.
First measured blood pressure, then measured temperature, and after a toss, more than 20 minutes passed.
Liang Zhimo took off his stethoscope, "I have a fever, 38 degrees, my body is weak and lacks nutrition, and I was beaten again today, so I have been lying down and resting for the past few days." ”
Liang Zhimo took out two antipyretic pills, "Now that the medicine is precious, our family has not had time to prepare, these two pills are taken one a day, and at the moment they can only be physically cooled." ”
Just when Yuan Rong's father and son came back, Liang Zhimo repeated the method of physical cooling.
"I heard my parents say that there are no zombies in this area at present, if Uncle Yuan, you can go to the mountains tomorrow to dig some kudzu root soup, the nutritional value of kudzu is quite high, and your family can drink it."
Yuan Rong wrote them down one by one.
The two did not rush to leave, and stayed in the house for a while until Grandma Chen fell asleep in a daze.
Lin Xiu is a filial daughter-in-law, afraid that Grandma Chen will catch a cold again, so she almost turned out the clothes in the suitcase and put them on her, and the only thin blanket was also covered on Grandma Chen.
Not daring to disturb the old man, Yuan Rong called Liang Yingsheng aside and carefully took off the gold ring on his ring finger.
"Uncle Yuan, there are no good things to offset the medical expenses, I know that these things are not worth much now, and I don't know if I can exchange those two pills and the cost of this visit?"
Liang Yingsheng wanted to refuse, but swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
She took the gold ring, "Others don't know, but our family likes gold very much, and it is more than two pills and the cost of the visit." ”
Yuan Rong breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly glanced at the ring.
Liang Yingsheng can't really accept it, but he can't let Liang Zhimo go to the clinic for free, what if he makes the other party a habit?
"Wild kudzu is a good thing, I want it too, if Uncle Yuan digs up more tomorrow, he can give us a pound to exchange for a ring."
Yuan Rong was stunned, wild kudzu is indeed good, but it is not difficult for them to dig it on this mountain.
"Ahem, tomorrow our house will be cleaned and I don't have time to go into the mountains, I want to get some to replenish my parents' body."
"That's it, that's fine!"
It was completely dark, the cicadas chirped, and there were no lights in the sky, but a world that turned gray in the moonlight.
Halfway up the mountain, there are only two families living there.
Liang Zhimo helped Grandma Chen massage the acupuncture points, and then he carried the medical box and prepared to leave.
Liang Yingsheng pointed to the plastic bag on the wooden table, "Uncle Yuan, Aunt Lin, my parents sent me some wild vegetables, and I will put them there." ”
Lin Xiu rubbed her hands, "How embarrassing is this?" ”
"They dug a lot, and it is not suitable to store it in hot weather, so they can cook wild vegetable soup or chop and mix some flour to make wild vegetable cakes."
Liang Yingsheng looked at the sleeping Grandma Chen again, "We brought a lot of daily necessities back from Jiangcheng this time, I wonder if we can exchange something with you?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiu's eyes lit up, "Of course you can, what do you want to change?" ”
Liang Yingsheng pointed to the wooden bed in the second bedroom, the solid wood used, the retro design is very good-looking, but it is a little dirty.
"There's a broken bed in the house."
Yuan Rong immediately nodded, "Let's change, we have three beds in our house that can be used, I squeeze with Xuyang, and you Grandma Chen and Aunt Lin can vacate one." ”
The Liang family has no shortage of beds, but this one is made by Yuan Rong himself, and he works slowly and carefully, the workmanship is particularly good, and the material is also good.
In the future, if I go to an evacuation shelter or a safe base, what if I need to prepare my own bed?
"Xuyang and I will send the bed to your house now."
Liang Yingsheng smiled, "Don't worry, it's hard to walk in the dark and night, move tomorrow, now go with us to get something, right?" ”
Yuan Rong arranged for Yuan Xuyang to follow.
The night was hazy, Liang Zhimo walked in front with a flashlight, Liang Yingsheng followed, and Yuan Xuyang followed the two not far away.
The moon is not round tonight, but it is very beautiful, the mountains are silent, and the sound of insects can be heard from time to time, as if isolated from the zombie-infested world.
I don't know how long this side of Eden will be safe.
