Chapter 205 Supplies
The room was enveloped in warm light, and she sniffed. The sound of rain made her anxious, and she couldn't even read the book she was holding in her hand.
The rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier.
Zhao Yeqing put the book on the table, opened the door, walked along the eaves to the original main house, put on a raincoat and a bamboo hat.
The rain showed no signs of abating at all, so the ground could no longer be left alone.
It is necessary to add a water outlet in the fish pond, otherwise the water in the fish pond will overflow and the fish will swim out.
Several planting areas also need to add drainage ditches to prevent water accumulation and root damage.
The raincoat and bamboo hat can block most of the rain from the body and head, but the face is still inevitably wet by the falling raindrops.
Rain fell into his eyes, Zhao Yeqing raised his hand to wipe it, and immediately lowered his head to dig a ditch. The cool rain flowed down his neck and into his collar.
A silent flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the meadow lit up like daylight for a moment and then went out again.
She was caught off guard and was startled. She just calmed down and exhaled.
Suddenly a pair of hands touched her shoulders from behind.
Zhao Yeqing felt as if his soul had left his body for a moment. He turned around with wide eyes, and a white light suddenly appeared on the horizon.
Under the rain curtain, Mu Xi's face looked pale and haggard.
She was so frightened that she subconsciously swore curse words to her lips, and because she was too panicked, she could not make any sound from her throat.
I almost cursed.
Mu Xi took her back home, went out to bring the cow back and locked it up, and then said, "Why are you still going out in such a heavy rain?"
Seeing that he came back safely, Zhao Yeqing was relieved at first, and then he couldn't help but want to curse.
I was almost scared to death by him just now.
But looking at his expression, I couldn't curse him.
"You look so bad. Have you been in the rain for a long time? I boiled water in advance. You take a bath first, and I'll make you some ginger soup."
This complexion is not only bad, if you want to describe it, it can be said that it is not much different from the one who has been dead for three days, pale and green.
Although the temperature is not too cold now, the rain has been hitting my face and body for so long, and it is impossible not to be cold.
The skin of his face and hands were cold to the touch. Zhao Yeqing frowned in worry, but he still smiled and wanted to comfort her.
"It's really okay, everything is..."
Zhao Yeqing interrupted loudly and pushed him outside, "Go take a shower first."
Zhao Yeqing also added ginger to the bath water. When Mu Xi came out of the bath, he could finally see some blood on his face.
In the kitchen, Zhao Yeqing was wiping Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei. The two dogs were covered with simple raincoats made by Mu Xi out of plastic bags. However, after being outside in the rain for so long, they could only be said to be better than nothing.
Pour warm water into the dog's bowl and prepare broth rice.
Seeing Mu Xi come out, he handed him the poured ginger soup.
"It's warm, drink it quickly."
After drinking the ginger soup, Mu Xi felt his hands and feet warmed up. He filled another bowl and handed it to Zhao Yeqing. The two of them sat by the fire, and he slowly talked about the situation he encountered when he went out.
"Half of the house collapsed. Fortunately, the place chosen by the owner was still sheltered. It was backed by a hill. There was still one room in the house that was intact, so I demolished it. It rained heavily on the road and the cows didn't want to go. , so I delayed getting home until now.”
Zhao Yeqing sipped the ginger soup and took the time to ask: "Are you not in danger?"
"I haven't encountered it, but when I went there yesterday, after walking ten kilometers, we were almost near where we rested last time. It was in the forest where I went to get water. There were obvious animal paths in it."
It's like people stepping into the mountains to find a path, except that the protagonist is replaced by a beast.
Mu Xi measured the width with his hand, "It's about one meter."
"So wide? Are there footprints and feces?"
Mu Xi shook his head, "I didn't look carefully. There were frightened birds in the forest at that time, so I came out first."
There were none when they went there last time, which meant that after this winter, the biome on the meadow seemed to have changed somewhat.
After explaining the general situation, both of them were thoughtful.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Xi went back to the room to warm the bed, while Zhao Yeqing took some hot water and put it in the basin to wipe himself.
I went out to dig a drainage ditch just now, and the rainwater seeped into my collar. Although it had dried, it still felt a little uncomfortable.
When she returned to her room and lay on the bed, the rain outside still continued, but the loneliness she had felt in the room dissipated, and the warmth in the quilt made her fall asleep soon.
When I woke up the next day, there was drizzle outside the window, cumulus clouds were moving rapidly in the sky, and the window was swaying in the wind.
Overnight, a lot of moss had crawled around the corner of the wall, mixed with the mud from the rain. The smell was like damp rotten wood that had fallen on the ground in a misty forest deep in the mountains that rarely saw light.
Mu Xi was unloading things from the cart.
There are a lot of things pressed under the wall panels of the mobile house, and there are wall panels on top to protect them from the rain. These things didn't get wet even after being left in the yard all night.
There was no need to put on a raincoat for this little rain. She walked over to pick up the things while wearing a bamboo hat.
Mu Xi handed her a plastic bag, "Put this in the kitchen."
She took it into the kitchen and opened it. Inside were several cans and packaged seasonings such as salt.
Mu Xi walked in shortly after and said,
"When I saw that the rain had not stopped, I knew that I would have to stay overnight. I went to the tourist area early yesterday morning to find some supplies. There was almost no food. I only found a backpack with these cans in it. They have a shelf life of five years. .”
There are not many cans, only five or six, and canned meat is the least needed. Fresh meat can be eaten at home at any time. Two canned fruits are good.
Zhao Yeqing put the cans and seasonings into the cupboard.
Mu Xi also had a bag in his hand, which contained two power banks with half power, a solar flashlight, and some tools such as knives and daggers.
These things were all found near the stable where I saw the body parts last time. I didn't look carefully that time because the visual impact was too great. When I went there this time, only the bones were left.
Mu Xi: "There are not much supplies such as food and daily necessities, but some tools can be brought back for use. We can make another trip next time."
Such as ceramic metal utensils such as pots and pans.
Although there are some villages at the foot of the east and west mountains, the straight-line distance between the villages and home is only a few kilometers, but the mountain roads are steep.
The tourist area is far away from home, but fortunately, we can use oxen and horses to carry things instead of manpower.
Mu Xi turned on the solar flashlight. The long-lost bright light made Zhao Yeqing feel dazed for a moment.
Except for her cell phone that she didn't take out twice a year, she hadn't seen human technological civilization for a long time. In the past two years, she felt like a savage living in the mountains.
I held the flashlight in my hand and played with it, pressing the switch again and again.
"This is a good thing. It's very practical for going to the toilet at night."
In summer, when the sun is strong, it will be full after being left outside for a few hours.
After packing their things, the two went to the fields to check on the crops.
