Chapter 18 "Have You Ever Seen a Zombie?"
Gao Chou was once again startled by Jiang Yan who suddenly broke in, and when he came back to his senses, Gao Chou looked at Jiang Yan with a puzzled face.
"What are you talking about?"
Putting Gao Chou's doubts into his eyes, the latter's performance made Jiang Yan feel a lot more relieved in an instant, but he was afraid that Gao Chou didn't hear it clearly, so Jiang Yan repeated it again.
"Have you ever seen a zombie?"
Hearing the word zombie, the doubts in Gao Chou's mind became bigger and bigger, he was born in the last days, and he had never watched film and television works at all, let alone zombies, a sci-fi product.
"Zombies, what are they?"
"It's the kind of living dead who have no brains, rot all over their bodies, and only care about biting." Turning over the details in his mind, Jiang Yan gestured and explained.
Seeing Jiang Yan make a strange appearance, Gao Chou recalled everything he had seen on the road, and then shook his head hesitantly.
"Are you sure you haven't seen it?"
Gao Yan's denial made Jiang Yan overjoyed, if there were no zombies in this world, wouldn't he be invincible!
"I'm sure I've never seen anything like that."
Jiang Yan's excitement made Gao Chou's doubts even heavier, and he looked at the latter questioningly, Gao Chou was a little skeptical that Jiang Yan was sick at the moment.
"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have
Feeling the sorrowful and strange gaze, Jiang Yan, who was still excited, reacted instantly, calmed down his disordered breathing, and Jiang Yan picked up the porcelain bowl on the side and walked out of the door.
"No zombies, no other monsters, hehe!"
Seeing Jiang Yan leave, Gao Chou frowned, although there was no such thing as zombies, but during the time he escaped, he did see some strange animals.
For example, a sheep with a face like a human, a wild boar without eyes, and a fungus blanket of hundreds of square meters.
Zhao Dabai, who went out to forage for food, has not come back yet, and Jiang Yan is not too worried, Jiang Yan used to wait for Zhao Dabai to come back at night, and then lock the gate of the courtyard, which has become a habit.
"Whew!"
Picking up the hot water on the table, Jiang Yan blew it slightly and took a sip.
"I don't know what time it is, why does it feel like it's past nine o'clock in the evening?" Looking at the moon hanging high, Jiang Yan looked at the gate and thought to himself.
"Maybe I should make a clock so I can figure out the exact time."
"How did the ancients judge time?"
"Oh yes! Sundial! ”
His brain was running rapidly, and Jiang Yan recalled a large stone cake he had seen when he was traveling, with a messy grid carved on it, and it was with the help of this object that the ancients were able to determine the specific time.
"But what is this thing going on?"
The way the sundial works Jiang Yan probably knows that it is to judge the specific time with the help of the position of the shadow, but as for how to do the sundial, Jiang Yan has never heard of it.
"Let's read a book tomorrow."
Letting go of the thoughts in his heart, Jiang Yan had to put his hope on the three divine books, although time is very important, but it is not so important that he has to do it, even if he doesn't know, it won't have much impact on life.
The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the barrenness of the backyard.
"Bang dang!"
Just as Jiang Yan was about to go back to the house to sleep, outside the gate, a wide figure suddenly broke in, and it was Zhao Dabai, who had eaten a full meal.
"Whoa!"
Trotting all the way, Zhao Dabai instantly ran in front of Jiang Yan, then opened his mouth and spit out two grass carp.
"Yikes! Did you bring this back to me? ”
Looking at the two grass carp on the ground, Jiang Yan was instantly overjoyed, holding Zhao Dabai's head, Jiang Yan kissed him happily.
The intimate gesture made Zhao Dabai's eyes glow, and he kept rotating around Jiang Yan, and Zhao Dabai jumped up and down excitedly.
Squatting down, Jiang Yan picked up the two grass carp on the ground, and looked at them carefully with the help of the moonlight, Jiang Yan suddenly found that these two crucian carp were still alive, and there were no tooth marks on their bodies.
Presumably, Zhao Dabai must have put a lot of thought into it when he fished.
Throwing the crucian carp into the pool next to the well, Jiang Yan took Zhao Dabai back to the house happily, and Zhao Dabai had also brought back some grass carp before, but they were all leftovers from the fish head gnawed off by Zhao Dabai.
Worried that Zhao Dabai would have rabies virus, Jiang Yan didn't dare to eat it, but this time it was completely different, this time Zhao Dabai was obviously feeling sorry for himself.
Placing Zhao Dabai in the living room, Jiang Yan closed the door of the storage room, and lay in the bed, Jiang Yan closed his eyes and his thoughts were confused.
"Tomorrow we will clean up the backyard, gather the weeds, and look for the seeds of the vegetables."
"The table in the living room is also falling apart, so it's better to simply build a kennel for Zhao Dabai in the living room."
"Let's drink crucian carp soup tomorrow and find some wild mushrooms, just so there is still salt at home."
Confused thoughts drifted out of the window, the moon gradually disappeared in the clouds, the night faded, and the morning slowly came.
The exhaustion on his body made Jiang Yan lie in bed again, the sunlight through the window made Jiang Yan's eyes sour, and he struggled to get up from the futon, Jiang Yan rubbed his eyes and started the day's work.
Gao Chou in the bedroom has woken up for some time, and although the wounds on his body have not healed, it does not affect Gao Chou's movements.
Hastily changed the gauze, Gao Chou followed Jiang Yan out of the door, and sat on the Taishi chair at the door in a daze.
Ignoring Gao Sorrow, Jiang Yan walked into the storage room and took out a straw rake and sickle, and walked into the backyard.
The area of the backyard is very large, about three times the size of the front yard, and the land is divided into two sections, the front and back, which are also divided into three parts by Jiang Yan's parents.
The first half of the bedroom, near the left side, is planted with a lot of green onions, as well as some ginger and garlic.
In the first half near the right, there are some fruit trees planted and fruits all over the ground, one of which is even taller than a farmhouse, and the fruit that bears every year is not enough to eat.
In the second half of the garden, Jiang Yan's parents were planted with vegetables, the most of which were cabbage.
Crossing the dead fruits all over the ground, Jiang Yan walked to the second half of the vegetable garden, because no one took care of it, a large number of cabbages had rotted in the ground and turned into fertilizer, and even the seeds could not be found.
Rummaging through the rotten vegetables on the ground, Jiang Yan tried to find some food seeds, after all, as long as there was one of them, Jiang Yan could cultivate them into a garden full of vegetables.
"Soybeans!"
Lifting a vegetable leaf, Jiang Yan suddenly found a soybean seedling lying on the ground, poured the soybeans in the seed pod into his hand, and Jiang Yan's face was full of excitement.
Soybeans are a very important food source, not only abundant, but also very versatile, not only can you eat boiled edamame, but you can even make tofu, bean skin, bean curd, soy milk.
Therefore, many farmers will grow a large number of soybeans in their yards, and Jiang Yan's parents are one of them.
Squatting on the ground, Jiang Yan pocketed the beans one by one, and the beans on the ground were not the ones planted by his parents back then, but the plants whose descendants continued to multiply and eventually died the previous year.
Theoretically, ginger smoke doesn't need much care to harvest some food, but there is simply too little naturally occurring food compared to growing it yourself.
Seeing that the pocket was about to be filled, Jiang Yan hurriedly returned to the storage room, took out a small basin, and then ran to the backyard with excitement on his face.
As the soybeans fell, the iron basin was gradually filled, and after running back and forth three times, the tired ginger smoke was full of excitement.
"Such a large amount, it is enough to eat without cultivating and planting directly!"
