MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 145
Because I said before I left that it is possible to spend the night with Qinghe, and this is the first time to negotiate and cooperate with them. Many details have to be negotiated, and it is possible that it will take some time, so Mu Nan didn't He hoped that Qin Huai and the others would come back in the morning. After delivering the leather and cloth to Yang Jing, they fertilized and watered the melons and grass in the house, fed the chickens and rabbits, and then Mu Nan started to clean the house.
When they left, the air conditioner in the house was always on, the doors and windows were closed, and they had only left for two or three days, so the dirt would not be too dirty, but Qin Huai was not there, and he didn't want to wait around doing nothing, so he just disinfected the whole house For Mu Nan, he either doesn’t do it, or messes it up. Once he does it, he has to do it thoroughly. He even lay down on the ground and wiped the bedroom on the third floor carefully. Once again, I just want to clean the house, just as my physical energy is also exhausted, I can sleep until it is dark, so as not to worry about falling asleep.
As a result, he had just finished cleaning, took a shower and was about to go to bed, when he received a message from Qin Huai, Mu Nan got up from the bed in surprise, and actually went back the same day.
Jian Chu and Song Jia also received the news immediately, so after replying in the group, they came to find Mu Nan to prepare things. Jian Chu was a little annoyed: "If I knew this would develop a career line, The oil from the day before yesterday will not be sold, and I can keep it for at least a few times.”
Now that the environment is like this, how can there be any conditions to pay attention to, let alone using it repeatedly, even if it uses black, as long as it is not poisonous and will not kill people, some people will not mind. Of course, they will not use it so exaggeratedly. It was sold for a few times.
Song Jia was a little worried when she saw that Mu Nan was carrying the big barrel of oil that he hoarded last time. These oils were hoarded when the online shopping mall first came out in winter, when supplies were not so tight. Although I don’t know what these oils are, the government sells them. They can’t kill people, and the oil looks clear and clean. Yes, although it was filled into the old mineral water vat, it was not a sealed oil barrel, but it was oil anyway.
At that time, a large barrel of oil cost 20 points. At that time, the ID card had not been changed, and the currency of the points had not been converted. Qinhuai and the others had accumulated a lot. At that time, they had a lot of points in their hands, such as hunting deer, found canned food, and even Qinhuai. At that time, their family could exchange points for growing vegetables, so they were not soft on hoarding.
Qin Huai's family stocked up a lot, but his family and Jian Chu's family were afraid that this kind of unsealed oil would be easily spoiled in summer, so they only bought one hundred points, then there would be five barrels, such a big barrel, It is enough to save some food for a year, but now, not to mention the skyrocketing oil price, the restricted purchases can't be bought by rushing to buy, and only Qinhuai's family is richer and can use a little bit of money to do business.
But this is not a long-term solution after all. Although they stockpiled a lot at the beginning, and the oil barrels were preserved in the flood without breaking, there will always be a day when they run out. Song Jia said: "If we want to develop this business line, we must at least We need to find a channel to buy oil, otherwise, even if we use all of our stocks, it won’t last long, and we have to eat for ourselves, so we can’t just sell it abroad, and we can’t fill it up when we make money. .”
Mu Nan said: "Let's use it today first. They should have already thought of what we can think of. When the time comes, we will figure out a solution together."
Looking at the time, a few people walked towards the small square with their things. They had tricycles, stoves, firewood soaked in water and dried, and even some coal that had been moved to the roof and slightly soaked in water. It’s also dried and can be used. Song Jia rode a small tricycle with a lot of things, Jian Chu and Mu Nan followed behind on bicycles, and said hello to a few girls before going out, Niu Niu If you are still at home, let Niuniu go if you have anything to do.
Niuniu can be used for many purposes, it can defend and attack, it can guard the house at home, and it can also go out to send messages.
But when Song Jia said this, Sun Sisi rolled her eyes: "By the time Niuniu runs over to find your spare time, our mobile phone has already called the police 800 times!"
When a few people arrived at the small square, they hadn't come yet, and it took about ten minutes to get here. Jian Chu took out his mobile phone and said: "Let's form a group, just those who buy bamboo insects, those who are interested Add a group, and shout in the group when you open the stall in the future, anyway, it is also a part of a stable source of customers."
Mu Nan said: "Then I'll leave it to you." He didn't want to engage in these things, although it was online, but there were too many people and it would make a fuss.
Song Jia sat at the side and fanned the wind through the gauze net. The gauze net was wearing a vest, which prevents mosquito bites and is not too stuffy, but it is really hot from the hood to the tail, even if it is a layer of net , that is also hot.
"I feel like the temperature is approaching sixty degrees again now."
Jian Chu was covered in sweat and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't die from the heat, anyway, I am more resistant to heat this year than last year, and the human potential is really infinite."
Mu Nan was also fanning the wind, and saw a black car approaching from afar: "They are here!"
Song Jia and Jian Chu turned their heads to look, then stood up and waved.
Mu Nan ran over and handed the thermos to Qin Huai: "Are you tired? Is it hot? Did this trip go well?"
Qin Huai drank a few sips of ice water: "Not tired, hot, smooth, the time has been agreed, once a week, Cai Wentao will help us collect things over there, if we are lucky, maybe we can get some mushrooms next time .”
Mu Nan was surprised: "Mushrooms? Why didn't we see any mushrooms last time we went?"
Qin Huai: "On the day we left, a comrade-in-arms of Uncle Cai came here looking for relatives, and he brought a lot of bacteria bags with him. That person lives in Cai's house now, and his relatives haven't been found yet, but Qinghe is his hometown, so don't worry about it." I couldn’t find it, but I planned to take root in Qinghe Land, so I found a windowless room in Cai’s house to grow mushrooms.”
Mushroom packs are also available in Mu Nan Space. He bought some online before, and then his brother saw his purchase list and bought more, but he never had a chance to take it out, or he was busy growing melon seeds. For vegetables, I didn't expect mushrooms. Anyway, if you want to eat mushrooms, he has ready-made mushrooms in his space, and growing mushrooms is very tiring, even more tiring than growing vegetables, so they didn't bother so much.
While the two of them were talking, the other side was already busy. Pour the oil into the hot pot and clean the bamboo worms. This time, because I have experience, the bamboo worms have been cleaned there. Just put it into the pot and put it in a plastic bottle. The cumin chili powder in the bag, the whole jar of salt, and the tray for sprinkling are all arranged on the small tricycle.
Jian Chu took a small trumpet and shouted angrily: "I sell bamboo worms, fresh and delicious bamboo worms, deep-fried in oil, cumin pepper, don't miss it when you pass by!"
When they saw them setting up a stall, people had already gathered around them. After they sold bamboo worms last time, many people heard the news and came to see them, but they were gone. Now they saw that they set up a stall again, and those who were close to home hurriedly paid for it. Those who are far away from home have nothing to pack, so they can only buy one for 50 cents to satisfy their hunger. Those who have lunch boxes are relatively wealthy, and they can buy a few yuan at a time. Home fight teeth festival.
This bamboo worm is much tastier than the diced worms sold in online stores. Although they are all deep-fried, the lack of seasoning is not enough for people with heavy tastes.
Qin Huai asked Daniel to fry a pot first, sprinkle with seasonings, put them in two disposable lunch boxes, and handed them to Jian Chu: "Your social skills are better than Nan Nan, you go with Song Jia, and the neighborhood committee will give you a box, The police station sent a box."
This kind of thing is still very necessary. I didn't send it last time because I only wanted to make a profit and finish the job, but now I obviously want to continue to develop, so some relationships around here need to be managed.
Jian Chu handed the loudspeaker and mobile phone to Mu Nan, and Song Jia and Song Jia carried a box to the neighborhood committee and police station opposite the small square.
Although Mu Nan doesn't like to socialize, nor is he a good dancer, but he is not incapable of socializing, so after Jian Chu and the others left, Mu Nan stood on a high place with a loudspeaker in hand to maintain order, and even held a mobile phone to let anyone who wanted to join him. Scan the QR code in the group: "In the future, when there are new products coming out of the stall, I will tell you in the group. Yes, I will tell you in the group if there is news, so as not to make a waste of a trip. It doesn't happen every day. This is just bought from Qinghe. The ones that come back grow naturally on the pure mountain, so there is no fixed source of goods, if you can dig it, you sell it, if you can’t dig it, there is nothing you can do.”
As the bamboo worms were put into the pot, the fragrance began to disperse, and more and more people gathered. Some of them were not bought last time, because they were not eaten, and they were tempted by the fragrance. Never hesitate to sell again.
Some of the ones I bought last time were well accepted after eating. After all, this is considered meat. After two or three years, I suddenly ate something with a heavy taste. I didn’t eat enough, but I missed it even more.
Mu Nan's mouth was dry, Jian Chu and Song Jia came back, and quickly handed them the speaker and mobile phone, and he wanted to drink some water to moisten his throat.
In the distance, a group of workers were dragging carts of bricks, following a rich man who lived in the second district, to the community. Although the sun was so fierce that no green plants could survive, the buildings were neat and orderly. The house looked more comfortable than the chaotic outer city, and one of them wandered around looking around furtively.
Seeing a crowd of people gathered in the small square and the smell of meat coming from here, a man named Ma San with drooping eyebrows and yellow teeth couldn't help cursing: "There are so many starving to death outside, The rich area here really deserves to be a rich area, and you can still eat meat, **** it."
The people listening to his complaints sneered: "What's the matter, the end of the world is just the end of the world for the poor."
Ma San couldn't help but clicked his tongue, looking at this house that was so different from the outer city, his eyes were full of greed and calculation, if he could get a ticket here, he would be able to eat outside for a long time.
When the group of ragged and sweaty porters passed by sideways, Qin Huai raised his head and saw a person he had never seen before. For some reason, his mind was like He was suddenly pricked by a needle, and the pain made him almost unable to stand up. If Yu Zibai who was beside him hadn't pulled him, Qin Huai would have almost touched the frying pan.
Mu Nan was startled, her face turned pale, and she ran over nervously: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Qin Huai rubbed his forehead: "It's okay, I just shook my head."
Seeing that Qin Huai's complexion was not very good, Wu Zheng said: "Go back and rest first, we are here, Qin Huai ran twice in a row, I'm afraid he's too tired."
Qin Huai originally wanted to say no, but seeing Mu Nan's face turned pale with fright, he didn't force it: "Then I will trouble you here."
Da Niu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you can go back and rest quickly, don't get tired and make a mess."
Qin Huai handed the car keys to Yu Zibai, anyway, it doesn't matter whose garage the car is parked in, it is in the same yard, so he and Mu Nan rode back.
As soon as he entered the room, Mu Nan hurriedly changed his slippers for him, and helped him up the stairs, for fear that Qin Huai would faint again. A person who is usually in good health suddenly came here, which really scared people. When I feel uncomfortable, I dare not tell Qin Huai the reason. I take the other party too seriously. A little bit of headache and brain fever is a big deal, especially now that the hospital doesn't even have the most basic medicine, let alone treatment. up.
Qin Huai hooked Mu Nan's neck and said with a smile, "I just shook my head for a while, seeing how scared you are, I'm still in my 70s."
Mu Nan frowned: "You're still laughing, you almost fell into the frying pan just now, I checked to see if you have a fever."
Qin Huai lowered his head and let him touch it to make sure the temperature was normal, then Mu Nan said, "Should I take a bath or not? It's better to just rest, or lie down for a while before we talk about it."
Qin Huai rubbed his hair: "It's really fine, you don't know about my body."
Mu Nan murmured, "It's people who are in good health, it's scary when they get sick."
Those who are not in good health, some minor illnesses and pains are really nothing, but when they are in good health, it is a huge trouble.
Mu Nan put Qin Huai's bath water, but didn't ask him to close the door, so he squatted at the door and waited for him to lie down on the bed after taking a shower, then took his temperature again, and made sure it was normal, so he put a bunch of medicine on it On the cabinet at the side, there are headaches and brain fever, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicines, and they are ready to be released.
Seeing him busy with work, Qin Huai pulled him into his arms: "I'm really fine, I don't have a headache or any discomfort, maybe I'm tired from driving for a long time, sleep with me for a while."
Mu Nan said: "Then are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before going to sleep?"
Qin Huai shook his head: "I ate in the car, it's almost dawn, go to sleep, eat after waking up."
Mu Nan looked at his face and felt that it was more ruddy than her own. After confirming that Qin Huai was really okay and not pretending to be okay to hide herself, she obediently lay down next to him and didn't bother: "Then you woke up If you are hungry, you must call me, just eat ready-made ones, so as not to have to make them yourself."
Qin Huai responded with a smile: "Okay."
Qin Huai was also tired from driving, holding Mu Nan in his arms but for some reason he was so disturbed that he couldn't fall asleep. The face of the porter before couldn't get out of his mind, and when he fell asleep, he kept dreaming again.
Qin Huai knew that he was dreaming. In the dream, he returned to their previous home. The house was empty and there was nothing, but the empty house was completely different from the one he left in his memory.
The house was dirty and messy, the walls were broken, and the windows were hung with rags to block the sun, which looked like ordinary sheets. All the doors were open, as if they had been ransacked, and he returned to his house , His house is also empty, and there is still dust floating in the air. The dust is very thick, as if no one has lived in it for many, many years.
The corridor outside is even more messy, there are even a lot of blood on the walls, there are traces of some people's lives on the ground, torn clothes, broken shoes, a pile of dirty to black I don't know what it is piled up in the corner.
Qin Huai walked down the stairs step by step until he walked out of the building. He saw collapsed ruins all around, and there was no one there. This place has become an empty city swept by disasters and plagues.
He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know how to leave here, but even in his dream, he still remembered that he was looking for Mu Nan, and in a trance he remembered something, he remembered that he took Mu Nan and left, They came to the University City to resettle in a small three-story building. Remembering where Mu Nan was, Qin Huai immediately looked for him.
He walked for a long time, but it seemed that he hadn't walked for a long time. The feeling was very strange. He knew that he should be dreaming, but he felt that he was not dreaming.
When he came to the University City, he saw the eye-catching building, and Qin Huai felt a little strange. The building was obviously destroyed by the flood, so why is it still there.
He remembered the way home, in that small building, as long as he went back, he could see his Nannan. But the surrounding environment changed again. He was obviously walking in the direction of the second district, but for some reason, he walked to the outer city until he saw Mu Nan, but the Mu Nan he saw was the same as the Mu Nan he remembered. Nan is completely different.
Very thin, pale face, much grayer than he remembered, the clothes seemed to be hanging on his body empty, even if he looked at it from a distance, he could still imagine that the other party was holding him. Take the bone out.
A pain began to spread from the heart to the whole body, Qin Huai hurriedly rushed over, wanted to hold him in his arms, wanted to ask Mu Nan how he made himself like this, if he was sick, if he didn't eat well, but Mu Nan didn't seem to be able to see him, he couldn't hug him, and he couldn't hear him when he spoke.
Qin Huai was very anxious, and vaguely remembered that he should be dreaming now, thinking that it would be good if he woke up from the dream, and he would be able to hug Mu Nan when he woke up.
He followed behind Mu Nan, and saw him standing on the side of the road, staring at a skinny little girl squatting on the ground for a while, watching him hand a piece of rough cornbread to the girl, and then followed He returned to a shed pitched around a corner.
That house is not a house at all, it is just a small house made of building materials, with a small window, because it is the transition from winter to summer, the sun is not very strong, so the window is not blocked, Mu Nan opened the door and left After entering, there are not many things in the house, there is a bed on the floor, some clothes hanging on the wall, and a few cardboard boxes stacked in the corner.
Just as he was looking at the room, a group of people rushed in, a total of four people, one of them stood outside, seeming to watch out for the wind, and three of them entered the room, Qin Huai frowned, and stood in front of Mu Nan . But he forgot that this was a dream, and no one could see him in this dream.
He watched helplessly as the group of people forced Mu Nan into a corner, kicked over several cardboard boxes in the corner, rolled down several bottles of water, and some food packed in lunch boxes.
Mu Nan was so scared that he didn't dare to resist, and let them grab the food and water, but those people's purpose seemed to be more than that, and one of them even used his hands to grab them.
Mu Nan had never experienced such a scene since he was a child, and was obviously terrified. He pushed those people away and wanted to run outside, but those who robbed him of food and water had no intention of letting him go.
Qin Huai's eyes turned red with hatred, but he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes.
In the chaos, because of a smear of blood, the pause button was suddenly pressed. One of the fierce-looking ones slapped a skinny man and roared, "Ma San, what the **** are you doing!"
The face of the man named Ma San turned pale in an instant, his hands were still stained with blood, and he was retreating in a panic.
A group of people came without warning, and then fled out in a hurry.
Inside the house, Mu Nan fell to the ground with a knife stuck in his stomach.
Qin Huai wanted to rush over, to stop Mu Nan's bleeding, and to call for help, but he couldn't do anything.
He watched more and more blood on the ground, watched Mu Nan's clothes being completely stained red, watched the light in Mu Nan's eyes disappear little by little, watched the tears flowed after Mu Nan closed his eyes, and the A brother who can no longer make a sound.
Mu Nan woke up, stretched out his hand to find a space beside him, quickly opened his eyes, saw Qin Huai sitting on the edge of the bed, rubbed his eyes and sat up: "Brother, why didn't you call me when you woke up? You will call me when you wake up, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
Qin Huai turned around, took his hand that was rubbing his eyes, and said softly: "How many times have I told you not to rub your eyes carelessly."
Mu Nan heard that his voice was a bit strange, so he turned around and wanted to turn on the light, but was hugged by Qin Huai, and immediately touched Qin Huai's body worriedly: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable?"
Qin Huai said with a hoarse voice: "I had a terrible nightmare, let me hug you."
Qin Huai hugged him very tightly, so hard that Mu Nan felt a little hurt from being hugged, but probably because he felt Qin Huai's uneasiness, Mu Nan didn't struggle, and stroked Qin Huai's back over and over again: "What dream scares you?" How terrible is that? Come on, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Mengmengfei is gone.”
Qin Huai was not amused by Mu Nan's way of coaxing the child, he couldn't laugh, the image in his dream couldn't get out of his mind no matter what, the horrible blood red all over the place, even now Mu Nan was hugged tightly by him In his arms, he couldn't shake off the fear in his heart.
Mu Nan said: "Turn on the lights, the room is pitch black, turn on the lights and brighten the hall, all nightmares will be gone."
Qin Huai let go of Mu Nan, held his face in one hand, and kissed him from forehead to lips: "Don't turn on the light, Nan Nan, I want you."
Mu Nan didn't think of rejecting Qin Huai's anomaly, and obediently stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around him.
In the darkness, Mu Nan didn't see the scarlet in Qin Huai's eyes.
