Chapter 10: Strange Springs
Simply cleaned up the small bedroom of about ten square meters, put the unused luggage into the space, and Xie Shu opened his mobile phone and looked at the list. Now I need to purchase bedding, before in the small hotel, although the environment is not as good as the exquisite cottage that was relieved before, but there is still a basic standard, providing pillows and bedding. Now in the dormitory provided by Aunt Wang, there is only a slightly old mattress on the bed, and there are no pillows and bedding or anything like that. The sleeping bag I bought in order to save money only has the function of being dirty and portable, and it cannot meet my needs for sleep and warmth in the spring night in Shanghai. Considering that he has no money now, and it costs a lot to buy a complete set of bedding and pillows, Xie Shu searched for the price of a thickened sleeping bag, and decided to buy a thick sleeping bag first to make do.
Liang Dong has already gone to work in the small restaurant, and now there is only one person in the dormitory. Xie Shu went to the living room to find a broom and a mop, and carefully cleaned his current bedroom by himself, and before he knew it, the morning had passed.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Xie Shu had just put the mop back to his place and washed his hands and returned to the bedroom, when he heard his mobile phone ringing. picked up the mobile phone, it was Aunt Wang's phone.
"Xiao Shu, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, go straight to the restaurant. Aunt Wang's kind voice came through her mobile phone. At the invitation of Aunt Wang to eat together, Xie Shu closed the door of his bedroom, took the key to his mobile phone, and set off to the restaurant.
……
On the dining table, there are four pairs of bowls and chopsticks and four dishes and one soup.
Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang are homely, Xie Shu is also happy to say a few more words to them, on the premise of avoiding talking about his past experience, Xie Shu and Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang chatted very happily, and it can even be said that it is in full swing. Liang Dong was also unexpected, not as restrained as he was in front of Xie Shu before.
It's just that Xie Shu obviously felt Liang Dong's interest in him, and he would always lead the topic to her intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to know more about Xie Shu, but this made Xie Shu frown slightly several times.
After eating, Xie Shu didn't stay long, she didn't want Liang Dong to continue to ask more about her own affairs, and it would seem strange to always push off the topic.
……
Xie Shu walked to the place where he had bought a backpack and sleeping bag. The boss is still as enthusiastic and professional as last time, and introduced several thickened sleeping bags for Xie Shu. Because Xie Shu had no money, considering that the weather would warm up this month, and there was no need for too thick sleeping bags for the time being, Xie Shu took the cheapest one.
After buying a sleeping bag, Xie Shu went back to the temporary dormitory. After opening the door and finding that Liang Dong had not returned, Xie Shu breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to contact Liang Dong. Not to mention how big the variables are in the post-apocalyptic world, even if he meets Liang Dong in the original world, Xie Shu will not be tempted.
Xie Shu is a maternal solo, but this is not because of her emotional defects caused by emotional coldness, on the contrary, Xie Shu actually needs a sense of security and love in her heart, and this need is manifested in Xie Shu's condition for the other half. The indifference of emotions and the natural sense of distance made Xie Shu ask herself, she was unwilling to give too much to others, and she was used to rational thinking, and she resolutely did not allow herself to fall into a situation of being too passive.
But her request to the other half is indeed to hope that the other party can provide her with a sense of protection and care that is stable enough. "Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Xie Shu admits that she is a double standard in this regard, so she will not ask the other party to pay and must provide the emotional feelings she needs. She can wait for someone who is willing to give it thoroughly, or she can choose to be alone all the time. And in just a few meetings, Xie Shu has roughly figured out Liang Dong's temperament. The restraint of personality brought about by the growth environment and the lack of experience in age doomed him to not be able to provide Xie Shu with the sense of companionship he wanted. Even so, Xie Shu could only choose to keep her distance from him, she was unwilling to face the usual embarrassment of the two of them, and there was no reason to be responsible for the young and vigorous love of the other party.
Without stopping in the living room, Xie Shu went directly to his small bedroom and closed the door.
Spread the purchased thicker sleeping bag directly on the mattress. After a busy morning, plus walking out to buy a sleeping bag, and carrying it all the way back, Xie Shu already felt a little tired. The weight of the thickened sleeping bag is also not light, and considering that it is outdoors, Xie Shu does not want to risk putting the sleeping bag in the space. Even if it's a place where no one is around, what if there's hidden surveillance? If someone finds out because of such an avoidable triviality, the gain outweighs the loss.
After thinking about it for a while, Xie Shu decided to take a break, and the right thing was to feel the comfort of the newly bought sleeping bag in advance.
After lying down, Xie Shu felt the fatigue on his body ease slightly. didn't close his eyes in a hurry to empty himself, Xie Shu was thinking about the material in his mind. The fact that he couldn't buy a complete set of bedding because of lack of money and could only buy a thick sleeping bag made Xie Shu realize that stocking up before the natural disaster started may not be an easy thing for his current self. To put it bluntly, Xie Shu needs to get a lot of money in a short period of time, and the natural disaster has not yet begun, Xie Shu cannot take risks to touch some of the fast ways described in the law.
I have already made a list of supplies, and since I already have space, I can't sit still. Thinking of the materials he already had in his space, Xie Shu cleared the amount of food. Especially the amount of rice noodles, if you don't waste extravagantly, about 4,000 catties of rice is enough to eat yourself for 20 years. There is also a lot of flour, and if you make pasta, you can also provide yourself with energy for many years.
If you want to make pasta, you need to mix the noodles, and you can prepare them yourself in advance. And thinking of the water needed for noodles, although there was drinking water in the list before Xie Shu, in fact, she didn't plan to stock up on water, first, it was inconvenient, and secondly, there was a spring in her space in addition to the water in the room. The jade pond looks clear and energetic, and the intuition is not just for ornamentation, although I am not sure if I can drink it directly, but if it really comes to a special period, it may not be able to take care of so much, it will always be cleaner than the water outside.
Thinking of this, Xie Shu reached out from his sleeping bag, picked up the water cup on his bedside table, and took a glass of water from the jade pool in the space with his mind. I happened to be a little thirsty, and in order to confirm that the water in this pool was drinkable, Xie Shu decided to try it directly.
After a sip of water, not only does there be no watery smell, but there is also a faint aftertaste emerging from the throat, a cool and smooth taste, fluttering into the body, Xie Shu seems to feel a vigorous and active energy wandering and spreading in his body. This water is certainly not ordinary spring water!
After just stagnation for a while, Xie Shu didn't feel anything else unusual, as if the water was just better and cooler than the usual mineral water. In any case, since you can drink it, you don't have to worry about your future drinking water.
Thinking so, Xie Shu slowly closed his eyes. A faint ray of sunlight passed through the gaps in the curtains, and Xie Shu's eyes closed in his dream also revealed two faint traces of blue-green light.
