After taking a shower, Lu Qingran glanced at the third floor, found a room at random and walked in.
The room was very clean, with the scent of jasmine that was incompatible with the outside.
Lu Qingran was lying on such a soft bed for the first time in a year since his last days.
Every day I think about how to make myself stronger and how to survive in this world full of zombies!
Not to mention a soft bed, having a peaceful place to sleep is a luxury! Lu Qingran put the Tang Dao on the bedside table where his hands could easily reach it, lay down, touched the pendant around his neck, and closed his eyes.
【Host! Host! Wake up! Wake up! 】
Lu Qingran suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up as quickly as a hare!
He picked up the Tang Dao and held it across his chest, looking around cautiously. It was pitch black all around and nothing could be seen clearly.
"who?"
"come out!!"
"Ouch!"
Lu Qingran responded with the faint roar of zombies in the distance!
Lu Qingran came to her senses, it was this voice again! Why did this voice always appear in her ears inexplicably and then disappear suddenly?
There was also the ice blue long sword and swordsmanship during the day. It felt so familiar, but she had never touched a sword, let alone someone like her who grew up in an orphanage and barely had enough food and clothing. How could she have the chance to learn swordsmanship.
Lu Qingran, who couldn't sleep, got up and wanted to check the situation outside, only to find that the window was nailed from the outside.
Looking at his wrist, it was five in the morning. Lu Qingran was slightly stunned. He hadn't slept for so long in a long time!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Qingran! What's wrong? What happened?"
Outside the door, Yan Xiu's anxious voice sounded.
"It's okay! Sorry, I disturbed your sleep!" Lu Qingran opened the door and said apologetically.
"It's okay. It's just a shallow sleep. It has nothing to do with you! It's still early, so you can continue to sleep!"
After Yan Xiu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Lu Qingran sat back on the bed, thinking about what to do next. It didn't matter to her whether she returned to the base or not. There were no people or things she cared about there.
But where can we go if we don’t go to the base? She has no ability to live independently outside!
"Boom! Boom!"
"Qingran~ It's time to have breakfast!"
Lu Qingran came out and saw two bowls of rice, a small bowl of pickled vegetables, and a plate of fried yuba and bacon on the table!
Lu Qingran couldn't help but swallowed a sip of water. She almost forgot what meat and rice tasted like!
"Why are you standing there! Sit down and eat! Old people are used to storing rice at home, and this bacon is the same! Don't worry, eat it!"
"Thanks!"
Hearing this, Lu Qingran sat down and started eating without any courtesy!
After eating, Yan Xiu went downstairs to use the toilet, and Lu Qingran followed curiously.
"There is an old well in the yard, and the water is still edible! Before the end of the world, a water pump was used to pump it into the water tank on the roof for home use. Now that the power is out, we can only use it by hand!"
Yan Xiu stood in the yard and pointed to the large silver-white water tank on the roof.
Lu Qingran curiously poked her head into the well! There is not a lot of water in it, but it is very clear. This kind of water can only be consumed by senior leaders in the base! Not to mention using it for washing.
Lu Qingran finally understood why Yan Xiu would rather live here alone!
The houses are built together around the yard. Inside the glass windows on the first floor, there are rows of small iron bars spaced ten centimeters apart! Same goes for second floor windows! As long as it's not flying, it's safer here than at the base!
What's more, there are rice grains and clear water saved by the old man! This is still his hometown!
If Lu Qingran were Yan Xiu, Lu Qingran would not leave! It’s safe to go out to Mali again!
Even if you die, your family will still be here, right? Thinking of this, Lu Qingran, who originally wanted to persuade Yan Xiu to leave, didn't want to mention it anymore!
"Do you have a change of clothes? Just wash them there! There are clothes in my cousin's room on the second floor of that building. If you don't mind, you can use them to wear!"
Yan Xiu saw Lu Qingran wearing yesterday's coat and thought that Lu Qingran was only carrying a backpack, so he probably didn't have a change of clothes.
"I don't mind it! I don't mind it! Thank you!"
Lu Qingran immediately ran to put on something he could wear and wash the dirty clothes! Drying in the yard.
For several days, Lu Qingran followed Yan Xiu, doing what he could.
Today, I just finished lunch! Yan Xiu was chopping firewood in the yard, while Lu Qingran was sitting aside!
"I~ have to leave tomorrow!"
In fact, Lu Qingran doesn't want to leave at all. It's a fairy-like life here, but it's not good for her to eat and drink here all the time! Staying shamelessly for a few days is already too much!
"What did you say? The sound of chopping wood was too loud! I didn't hear it!" Yan Xiu stopped chopping wood and turned around to ask.
Lu Qingran: "I mean it's time for me to go!"
Yan Xiu's heart suddenly tightened, his expression gradually became stiff, and his knuckles holding the ax turned white with force.
"Do you have to go?"
Yan Xiu paused and said again.
"I mean ~ is there something wrong here? Or am I treating you badly?"
After Yan Xiu finished speaking, he was very nervous, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his brows! The hand holding the ax loosened and tightened again.
Lu Qingran: "No! No! It's very good here, and you are very good to me! It's just that it's not easy for anyone in the last days. I~I can't eat and drink here for free!"
"I don't mind! Don't feel any psychological pressure, really! I'm not afraid to tell you that the food here is enough for both of us to live for several years!"
"In my hometown, there is a habit of saving food every year. Every household saves enough food for the next year. My grandma said it was because she was afraid of being hungry before!"
"So don't feel any psychological pressure! My family's grain reserves have been used up, and there are still grain stores from my second grandfather's and third grandfather's homes!"
Yan Xiu was afraid that Lu Qingran wouldn't believe it, so he personally led Lu Qingran to several granaries!
Lu Qingran looked at each granary full of rice, corn, and some millet, sweet potatoes, cassava and the like!
In the small house next to each granary, there are also various kinds of dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, bacon, and sausages! There were also some sealed jars, and Yan Xiu said that they contained some sour fish and sour pork!
Lu Qingran was dumbfounded. These families together must be richer than the base!
Yan Xiu: "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"You really don't mind if I stay?"
"I don't mind! It's an honor for you to stay!"
Lu Qingran's face turned slightly red when he heard this: "Then please give me more advice in the future!"
"Please give me some advice! Lu Qingran!"
Yan Xiu pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Lu Qingran's hand tightly. A person's life is dull and boring. When Lu Qingran didn't come, he lived in numbness!
After Lu Qingran came, his life became colorful! He likes this kind of life! I also want to continue living like this...
