Chapter 563: Afternoon
I remember that Meilin and her brother used to occupy the mining area to build a camp. At that time, she was still a willful and casual little princess.
Later, as we lived in a small town, the habit of willfulness disappeared and gradually matured. However, when she helped Zhang Jianing stand out, she was very pissy.
When I see you this time, she gave me a different feeling than before. This may be because she has experienced more ups and downs in this time and space.
As the saying goes, life experience and tempering will not only change people's hearts, but also change people's temperament.
Long Tao came to deliver food to Gu Yu, and Mei Lin brought a bottle of canned peaches, saying it was a gift for me.
The transportation lines in the north and south have been broken, and winter in the north is endless, so fruits have become particularly rare.
I haven't eaten fruit for a long time, and of course I don't need any other normal food. Meilin is very happy and I can't refuse, so I asked her to divide the canned food into one and give it to A Ying, Nini, Pan Yijia and herself.
I accepted the items and then I would treat them to a few little girls. Meilin agreed and looked at me a little closer.
When Meilin walked out of the yard, Long Tao glanced at me and said, "Okay, I know who to bribe."
I hissed and glared at him angrily: "What is bribery? This is a friendly and friendly exchange. What? Are you envious or jealous?"
"Yes, I am envious, jealous and hateful. The treatment of the captain's wife is different." Long Tao had a slutty smile on his lips, and his eyes turned ambiguously between Gu Yu and me.
"Oh, sorry, you are not able to be the captain's wife, a bold slave, go and work~"
Long Tao gave up quarreling with me, picked up the desk calendar on the windowsill and wanted to take pictures of me, but I didn't hide or dodge, and waited for him to take pictures with my waist.
Long Tao glanced at Gu Yu, who was smiling at me. Long Tao threw the desk calendar back to the windowsill and gritted his teeth and said, "Just show off."
Long Tao just came to deliver food to Gu Yu. He threw down the stage calendar and left. After a while, his meal would be cold.
The lunch was noodle soup with scallions, which smelled quite fragrant. The soup was milky white, and it was probably a thick soup made of bones.
Low temperatures also have an advantage. The vast world is the National Taiwan University refrigerator. Food can be stored for a long time, especially meat.
Every time I hunt the remaining animal bones, I can make delicious and common rice. When I look at the green chopped green onions on the noodle soup, I feel like it is a vegetable bun in instant noodles?
"You eat?" Gu Yu asked me to stare at the noodles, and did not rush to move my chopsticks.
"No, you can eat it. I just looked at the instant noodles package inside, and I thought it was quite interesting."
"Your head is really not idle for a moment." Gu Yu smiled and picked up the noodles with chopsticks to eat them.
I admit that I love to think aside, mainly because my life is out of normalcy, I run around all day, don’t eat, and I am reluctant to return to the normal group, and I find it interesting to all things.
For example, eating is no longer a matter of filling my stomach. It represents life, or survival.
I don’t care much about food, but it is one of the essential conditions for ordinary people to survive. I remembered when I saw the noodles. I haven’t asked Gu Yu if there are any difficulties in this regard.
"There is food in the mine?" I sat back on the small bench and looked up at Gu Yu eating. I had lost the fun of tasting delicious food, but when I watched him eat, I was also happy. My happy mood was more pleasant than eating it myself.
"Yes, I hid a thousand kilograms of canned food." After eating the noodles, Gu Yu picked up the bowl and drank the soup.
"Ah? Oh~ It's over, I must have been eaten by someone else."
"That's not necessarily the case. I hide very secretly. I'm in the landslide mine. I hope Dachuan can bring back good news."
Bailichuan, also known as the deputy captain, Gu Yu said that he was the deputy battalion commander of a military region's reconnaissance battalion before the end of the world. When the virus exploded, he was seriously injured in order to protect the survivors. The tendons on his right arm were cut off. Even though he had surgery, he could no longer get heavy weapons.
The human body is fragile, and one injury may result in lifelong disability. I recalled the deputy captain’s previous actions, and found that if he didn’t exert force, he wouldn’t be able to see that there was an arm problem.
But his experience is equally valuable. He is an old scout and his observation is enough to be competent for this mission.
"You don't have to worry about everything, concentrate on doing what you want." Gu Yu's palm stroked the top of my head, his fingertips streaked across his ears, and finally his palm was pressed on my face, warm, making me unable to help but rub it twice.
"Well, I'm concentrating on command." I smiled and touched the cuffs, pulling out a baton from the sleeve.
Gu Yu reached out and pushed the baton back into his sleeve and said, "Don't take it out easily."
I accepted his reminder and buttoned the sleeves and flying ashes are of no use to ordinary people. Even Gu Yu's fellow villager cannot use it without mental power.
But it is so important to us that Gu Yu concealed its existence from everyone.
This is not to say that Gu Yu couldn't believe A Ying and the others. There was really no airtight wall in the world, so the fewer people knew about it, the safer it was.
In the afternoon, I boiled water to bathe Pan Yijia, took out the new clothes I brought back from the mall, and changed them.
Pan Yijia changed into the boys' clothing she chose, with a yellow head, a garlic-colored face, and her eyes that were prominent because of her thinness. She also looked more pitiful than when she was not washed clean.
I was already angry with A Ying about Pan Yijia. During lunch, A Ying specially sat down with Pan Yijia for a table and told her about her future work.
Pan Yijia was obviously much less prepared for A Ying and Nini. Nini was very curious about this young lady. She had no playmates in Zuobar and there were no other children in Gu Yu's team. Suddenly, someone of the same age came. She looked at her, and she was very enthusiastic.
When Pan Yijia was taking a shower, Nini joined in the fun and gave her favorite toy to Pan Yijia.
To be honest, I admire Pan Yijia very much. When Nini took out her favorite toy, I was shocked. Ah Ying covered her face, probably because she really didn't see the big dead mouse.
The dead mouse was frozen like a lump of ice, with no scars on her body. I don’t know if it was frozen to death. It was picked up by Nini and buried in the snow, afraid that Ah Ying would throw it away for her now.
A mouse as big as an olive tree was stuffed into Pan Yijia's arms, and she didn't even frown.
At first I thought it was a stuffed toy, but I didn't care. I knew that A Ying shouted it out, and then I realized that it was true.
Ah Ying is afraid of mice, and this is the first time I have seen it. In my opinion, collecting animal corpses is considered a reserve grain, but for the sake of Ah Ying's mental health, I still threw away the dead mouse.
He also warned Nini that she was not allowed to pick up animals' corpses until she was out of ammunition and food.
Pan Yijia was not affected by the dead rat at all, and told Nini that she could actually catch the alive and raise it, and only eat one for each meal.
After listening to her advice, I finally knew why she could accept the dead rat without changing her color. Nini treated the dead rat as a toy, but Pan Yijia treated it as food.
Although the two said something different, they finally reached an agreement and planned to catch voles and raise them.
Nini held Pan Yijia's hand with admiration. She might think that this young lady who can catch voles is the most powerful person in the world.
Two little guys were having an argument, but A Ying grabbed her head with an expression that was about to vomit. When she was sleeping in the open, A Ying had eaten animals such as snakes and insects, but she seemed to have never eaten mice. Maybe she was afraid of this thing alone.
I was afraid that she would really vomit, so I quickly changed the subject. Pan Yijia noticed Ah Ying's face and said sorry.
A Ying shook her head vigorously, as if she was saying no to apologize, and as if she wanted to throw some scene out of her head.
I walked to the bed and looked at Qiuqiu who was already asleep. This was A Ying and Nini's room. The fire was on fire and the Qiuqiu was sleeping soundly. The sound of A Ying's shouting just now did not wake him up.
The team chose the room where I sleep without a yard, so I should be able to gather quickly when there is an emergency. There are people living in both the left and right rooms of this room, and it just happened to be sandwiched between A Ying and Nini, which is probably to protect them.
After playing with the children until before dinner, Ah Ying wanted to help Meilin cook, and just took Pan Yijia and Nini with her.
I originally wanted to help, but when Bailichuan and the others came back, I took Qiuqiu to the village committee.
The rare peaceful time always passes very quickly. Looking at the faces of Bailichuan and others, I felt that there was trouble coming to me again.
Gu Yu waited until I arrived, and asked Bailichuan to report the situation. Bailichuan first told the good news, and Gu Yu's canned food was still there.
"Bad news?" I saw that he had finished the good news and there was no further information, so I asked.
"The poisonous gas has dissipated." Bailichuan answered the question irrelevantly, because what he was saying was good news. His eyes were lowered on the floor, and the few people behind him were also wandering their eyes, and no one looked at Gu Yu.
"What unusual things have you seen?" Gu Yu knew him more than me. Seeing his hesitant look, he had speculation.
Bailichuan's body paused. Obviously Gu Yu had guessed correctly. Bailichuan looked up at Gu Yu, "I'm not sure, maybe we had hallucinations."
At this time, a young man behind Bailichuan suddenly spoke: "We saw two women living there."
If the poisonous gas has been completely dissipated and two women live in the mine, this is not unusual, right? Is it that difficult to talk about?
The young man who just spoke was relatively young, only seventeen or eighteen years old. After speaking, his face turned red and glanced at me. It seemed that there was something else next, but he couldn't say it anymore.
Several people present more or less secretly glanced at me. I raised my eyebrows and suddenly realized that the crux of their inability to speak might be me.
"Ah, then, why don't I go out for a walk?" I felt that what they wanted to say might be related to both genders. I was the only one in the room, and I should avoid the topics between their men.
Gu Yu nodded and reached out to catch the ball. He liked to hold the ball very much, and his eyes would soften every time he hugged him.
I left the village committee's yard and wandered around the gate. At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun penetrated the dark clouds, passing through the layers of colors below. The snow had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy, and the lead-gray clouds were as low as if they were about to stick to the top of their heads.
