Chapter 161: Polar Day
Chi Yunyan took off a full pocket.
He handed it over, Wen Qizhou glanced at the bayberry that was being carried, and held back a smile: "You eat it, I don't like to eat bayberry." ”
Looking at his expression, Chi Yue realized something, and his outstretched hand shrank, without touching it.
They didn't remind.
Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan, who didn't realize the problem at all, each picked up a plump bayberry, wiped it twice on their clothes informally, and stuffed it into their mouths.
In the next second, the two of them wrinkled their faces at the same time.
He lowered his head in surprisingly unison, and spit out the bayberry in his mouth at an unexpected speed.
"What a sour ......"
Ji Yue burst out laughing.
Wen Qizhou looked at their sour appearance and longed to die on the spot, and he didn't hold back his smile anymore, and then raised his thin lips.
"Wild bayberry is not the same as artificially cultivated." He was "lucky" enough to taste it once, and he almost didn't let his tears come out.
"No wonder you don't eat it." Xie Changxiao punched his good brother on the shoulder, and couldn't help but spit at his feet.
It's the same with Ji Yunyan.
He angrily threw all the wild bayberry in his pocket on the ground, smacked his sour mouth twice, didn't even look at the bayberry tree, and walked forward with his legs open.
Looking at the soil on the ground and the vegetation around it that suddenly became dense, Chi Yue guessed that there might be a water source, so he followed the direction of the vegetation extension to find the water source hidden behind.
The sound of gurgling water is from far to near.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and she was just about to walk forward, when a strange sound sounded in her ears, and she had to pause.
"Xin Xin, you are so beautiful......"
The grinding sound of rustling, accompanied by the man's gruff sigh, reverberated behind the vegetation.
The weeds swayed from time to time, and she and the three people behind her could guess what each other was doing.
Listening to the unbearable whisper, Wen Qizhou frowned slightly, took Chi Yue's hand, and turned his head to the other side.
Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan immediately followed.
They didn't take two steps, and Yang Xinxin's contrived voice, which was carried by the breeze, blew past their ears.
"Sure enough, it's her." When Chi Yue heard the sentence "Xin Xin", he had a guess, and now that it has been confirmed, he feels even more disgusted.
During the end of the world, it is actually normal for some women who do not have a high force value and have no ability to survive to choose to cling to a strong person who can shelter them for their livelihood.
Chi Yue has never looked down on them.
Although the base treats every resident equally, the current resources are limited, and it is reasonable for both men and women to want to climb up and live better.
But Yang Xinxin is different.
She is too ostentatious and has a low moral bottom line.
No matter whether the other party has a family or not, whether she has a different mind, she will pounce on it regardless of it, and use all her skills to seduce to prove her so-called charm.
A scum like her does not deserve anyone's pity or sympathy at all, but only disgust.
Xie Changxiao sighed: "Bad luck." ”
As if he had swallowed a fly, he dragged Chi Yunyan beside him forward quickly, closing the distance between him and the wild mandarin duck.
They go around to the upstream of the water source.
When the vegetation was removed and the stream was clear and unpolluted, the interest of being destroyed by the wild mandarin ducks was brought up again, and they walked to the side of the stream to take a look down.
Fish swim leisurely in the stream, their scales shiny, spitting bubbles from time to time, and playing leisurely around the stones.
Chi Yunhiko proposed to make his own spearfish.
He put down his bow and arrows with great interest, and pulled Xie Changxiao and Wen Qizhou to the rear to find tools and make a simple spear.
It was not difficult to find a branch that was curved and of a moderate diameter, so they found a sharp stone, sharpened one end of the branch, and got the vine nearby to take the fibers and combine them into countless strands, and finally used it as a rope to tie the tip to the branch.
The tools were limited, but the improvised spear was sharp enough at this point to be used for spearing fish without any problems.
One by one, Chi Yue, who didn't want to spear fish, sat by the stream, took off his shoes and socks to play in the water, watched them pick up their trouser legs, slowly walked to the stream, and stared at the swimming fish.
Again and again, the tip of the spear sank into the water.
The water splashed and cool droplets fell on her arm, and she didn't bother to bother, but followed where the spears had fallen, and watched as they forked into the belly of the fish.
Wen Qizhou, who was about to fork the fourth fish, calculated the distance and the offset of the bottom of the water, and under Chi Yunyan's surprised gaze, he did not hesitate to fork the spear into the belly of the fish.
"Brother-in-law, you're too fast." It took him a lot of effort to fork two, but Wen Qizhou forked four in a short period of time.
"Men can't say fast." Xie Changxiao looked at them and said with a smile: "You have to say that he is amazing." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, awesome."
Chi Yunyan changed his words in time.
Wen Qizhou, who was praised, raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled down the fat fish in the spear fork, handed it to Chi Yue, and then looked for the fifth.
Forked to the fifth, he stopped.
Sitting next to Chi Yue, accompanying her to bathe in the faint warm sunshine: "Yueyue, where are we going to eat tonight?" ”
"Grilled fish?"
"Roast rabbit is fine."
Chi Yue has no opinion.
She quietly took out the mini-pack of seasoning, stuffed it into the pocket of his jacket, and kept it for the barbecue.
Waiting for Chi Yunyan and Xie Changxiao to fork five fat fish each, they took the dagger they carried with them to deal with the fish and hares.
They still used the old method of skewering whole pieces of fish and rabbit meat on tree branches and setting them on the fire.
The fish and rabbit meat are grilled to a golden brown, and a layer of oil comes out while making a "sizzling" sound.
"Can you eat it?" The fragrance spread, and Chi Yue's stomach rumbled, staring at the barbecue on the fire without blinking.
"Right now."
Wen Qizhou turned over the rabbit meat skewers.
Wait a minute or two, first put it to your mouth and blow it, and then handed it to Chi Yue: "Eat slowly, be careful of scalding." ”
Roasted until the golden skin comes into view, Chi Yue responded warmly, took the branch with heat, blew it twice, opened his mouth to take a bite, and tasted the rabbit meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Juice overflows in the mouth.
Feeling the smooth texture of the meat, she quickly ate the pieces of meat from the branches, and then picked up a grilled fish.
"There are a lot of fish bones, you pay attention." Xie Changxiao, who had just finished eating a fish, reminded them to be careful of fish bones.
"Okay."
They listened to the sound of gurgling water, ate roast rabbit and grilled fish unhurriedly, and enjoyed a rare comfort and tranquility.
When the smell of meat dissipated, Chi Yunyan extinguished the fire, left three spears, picked up the remaining seven hares and four fat fish, and followed their footsteps to the edge of the forest.
Walking near the RV, he saw the car speeding diagonally in front of him in the direction of the base, and he didn't have to guess who it was: "I thought they were going to spend the night in the forest." ”
Xie Changxiao: "How is it possible?" He took the car keys and sat in the driver's seat: "No matter how wild the mandarin ducks are, they have to eat." ”
"That's right." He got into the passenger seat, pulled out the cigarette case in his pocket, lit a cigarette, and didn't mention them again.
It was already late afternoon back at base.
They decided to divide the remaining fish and rabbits with others to add food, Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou carried two fish and two hares to the suggestion hall to find Tan Chung who was ready to get off work, while Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan went back to the residential area and knocked on the door of Ming Zhang and others.
"What are you?" Tan Chung took off his overalls, picked up the thermos cup and walked out of the window, looking at the plastic bag in their hands.
"Fish just caught outside." Chi Yue handed him the bag containing the fish: "You take it back and stew it for Qin Yao to drink." ”
Wen Qizhou: "And hares." ”
Two black plastic bags were handed to him, and Tan Chung glanced inside: "So many?" Where did you do that? ”
Today's supplies are scarce, and poultry and aquatic animals are multiplying, but they are not enough to meet the needs of millions of people.
The family can only buy meat twice a week, and the two times can't add up to more than four catties, Rao is that his parents belong to the official, and they can't break the rules set above, at most it's a holiday, and they will be given some benefits.
He would have been surprised to see them bring two hares and two fish.
"Forest."
"The forest to the east?"
Chi Yue's "um" sound.
When he heard that it was the prey they had worked so hard for, Tan Song refused to accept it, or Chi Yue emphasized that Ge Qinyao was now pregnant and had to replenish her body more, so he took the two plastic bags.
"Thank you." Tan Chung wrote down the friendship they specially sent their prey, and said with a light smile: "I will invite you to dinner another day." ”
"Okay, let's go first." Thinking that he had to rush home to have dinner with his family, Wen Qizhou stopped chatting with him for a long time.
After saying goodbye in a nutshell, the three figures also walked along the two glass plank roads leading to different "doughnuts", facing each other.
*
In the six months since the rainstorm stopped, there have been no devastating natural disasters, and people have relaxed their vigilance in an environment where they do not need to be afraid, hoping that the life trapped in one side of the world will come to an end in the near future.
However, it backfired.
On an uneventful evening, the Golden Crow did not set west as usual, but remained motionless and hung in the sky.
It wasn't until nine o'clock that night, when the sun was still shining through the clouds and on every building, that they panicked.
The residents walked out into the hallway.
The warm sunlight sprinkled on their bodies, and they followed the sunlight to look at the golden crow in the heights, but their hearts were cold.
"What's going on?"
"It could be the polar day." There was a polar night a long time ago, and people who didn't know about this phenomenon had also heard of the polar day, which was the opposite of the polar night, after the popular science of the base.
"What does polar day mean?"
"It's going to be bright all the time." I heard an unknown question from an elderly person, and some neighbors patiently answered it.
"What if the temperature rises?"
“……”
This time, no one could answer him.
They have never encountered a polar day, and they don't know what the real polar day will bring, let alone whether the temperature will rise.
We can only wait for news from the Meteorological Agency.
The inspectors who tested at any time sat for a long time and did not find any abnormalities, thinking that it was just an ordinary polar day.
What is the material?
The temperature rises little by little as the residents enter the room, close the curtains and force themselves to close their eyes and fall asleep.
Eventually, it stopped at forty-seven degrees.
