Chapter Twenty-Three: The Days Are Short and the Nights Are Long
"Today's small goal, from the foot to the west halfway up the mountain, all the sea monsters and all kinds of plants that are still alive are removed." Jiang Mi carried a shovel in his hand and shoveled up a small grass at his feet, threw it on the grass that had been piled up like a hill on the side, and turned his eyes to Jiang Xun beside him.
"Brother, can you use this thing?" Jiang Mi looked at Jiang Xun, who was wrapped in airtight, with a bright yellow pesticide spraying device behind him, and the whole person looked strange, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
She has never seen her brother like this, in her impression, Jiang Xun's image has always been delicate and decent, but now he looks extraordinarily down-to-earth.
"I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run, and it's not difficult to operate." Jiang Xun said lightly.
Jiang Mi shrugged her shoulders, but she didn't refute it, because after all, her brother was fast at elementary school, unlike her, at least in terms of learning, she couldn't compare to him.
Without wasting any more nonsense, Jiang Mi lowered her head and hoeed the grass seriously, while Jiang Xun followed behind her to spray herbicides, meticulously ensuring that every corner was not spared.
Just as she thought at the beginning, the closer she got to the originally dense jungle halfway up the mountainside, the more and more plants still survived, from the first scattered one or two to now you can see clumps and shovels, not only uprooting the plants, but even attracting many sea monsters hiding among the plants.
Some sea monsters are far more aggressive than the shrimp they encountered at the beginning, such as the Pipi shrimp in front of her, hiding among the plants, she went down with a shovel, and this thing actually ejected directly into the start, almost hitting her in the face.
Fortunately, Jiang Mi reacted very quickly, and almost immediately found it, she subconsciously turned her head, and the leather shrimp that had turned into a blood-red body and a carapace protrusion on her back, and her body was more than a circle larger, just left her face not far behind.
Jiang Xun, who was following her, directly cut the skin shrimp into two pieces with a backhand.
Jiang Mi looked at the Pipi Shrimp on the ground that was broken in two but was still struggling tenaciously, even if she had a filter mask on her face, but looking at the sharp jagged shape of the edge of the Pi Pi Shrimp carapace, he didn't dare to guarantee that the mask would not be scratched.
"Be careful." Jiang Xun whispered.
Jiang Mi nodded, a little embarrassed on her face, perhaps because she thought that there was no great danger in the end of the world at this stage, so she relaxed her vigilance a little, but she didn't expect that something almost happened.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mi took a deep breath and secretly raised his vigilance.
Next, he encountered a lot of strange-shaped sea monsters, but Jiang Mi had become more cautious, and whenever he saw a place that might be a sea monster's hideout, he would test it first.
If there is a sea monster, kill the sea monster first, and then cut the grass and root the plant if there is no sea monster.
The cooperation between the two is becoming more and more tacit, I thought it would take a day to clear from the top of the mountain to the position halfway up the mountain to the set goal, but I didn't expect that it would only take half a day to clean up.
By the end of today's clean-up, Jiang Mi carried a bucket of gasoline and poured it on the hill-like weeds.
After most of the day, these uprooted weeds and various trees did not seem to wither at all, and still maintained the appearance of freshly pulled out.
Jiang Mi lit it with a fire, and the scorching temperature burst out, dispelling a lot of the chill around him.
Looking up at the sky, Jiang Mi frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not even five o'clock, is it already dark?" ”
After the end times, both day and night have begun to change, with the day hours getting shorter and the night hours getting longer.
The sky began to drizzle, Jiang Mi took out an umbrella from the space and propped it up, and the brother and sister stared at the pile of burning grass without blinking, until they confirmed that it was all burned to ashes and there was no possibility of resurrection, then they turned around and walked towards the bomb shelter.
For dinner, Jiang's father made a hot pot, half tomato, half spicy, Jiang Mi specially fished a fish and some shrimp from the lake in her own space, she was not sure if this thing was a shrimp, but from the appearance alone, it was much the same as shrimp, so it was treated as a shrimp, anyway, the taste was almost the same.
The bottom of the tomato pot is boiled out by Jiang's father with more than a dozen tomatoes, not only sweet and sour, but also the pork belly is rolled down and cooked in the tomato pot and then taken out, the pork belly wrapped in rich tomato sauce will not make people feel the slightest greasy, and even do not need to be accompanied by any seasonings and put it directly in the mouth, the extremely satisfying taste directly makes Jiang Mi happy.
The fish and shrimp fished out of the space lake, after being cooked in the tomato pot, even if they have not undergone any fishy treatment, they can not smell the slightest fishy smell, the entrance is tender and delicious, the more they eat, the more they want to eat, the last fish is not enough for four people, Jiang Mi went to catch another one, and the family of four ate a round belly.
Mother Jiang touched her stomach and couldn't help but sigh, "How many pounds do you have to gain after eating this meal?" No, I'm going to work out later. ”
Jiang's father hiccuped, and when he heard his wife say this, he hurriedly said: "Wife, you are not fat at all, it's not good to be too thin, you should eat more and grow more meat." ”
Mother Jiang shook her head very resolutely, "Mi Mi and Ah Xun have started exercising every day now, how can I, a mother, not lead by example?" ”
"And you too, you should also lose weight, this is the end of the world, our physical fitness has to be enhanced, but we must not drag our daughter and son back!" Mother Jiang glanced at Jiang's father's beer belly with disgust.
Jiang's father touched his stomach a little embarrassed, he was a handful of old people, he had worked hard for most of his life, and after handing over the company to his son, he finally enjoyed a little blessing and raised some meat, but this happened to catch up with the end of the world, and now he is still disgusted by his wife, alas.
"Tomorrow, starting tomorrow, Dad will work out with you!" Father Jiang gritted his teeth.
"What tomorrow, I'll go in a while, just as a consumer." Jiang's mother made a final decision beside her, and Jiang's father opened his mouth to argue, but his mouth was stunned under Jiang's mother's glaring eyes.
Jiang Mi didn't help his father speak, after all, exercising is indeed a good thing, and at his father's current weight, he is indeed a little worried that he will get three highs in the future.
After eating, they sat down and rested for a while, and the family of four went to the gym together.
Jiang Xun is doing special training for Jiang Mi, while Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are walking slowly on the treadmill.
After all, when you are old and have no foundation for fitness, everything has to be done step by step, otherwise the body bones of an elderly person will be easily tossed and scattered.
