At night, Yang Qing, Lu Lin and Li Shengnan shared a room. In this apocalyptic world, it was not their own home, so it was safer to live together.

Archie stood at the door and kept an eye on what was happening outside.

While Li Shengnan went to the bathroom, Yang Qing took some spiritual spring water from the space and drank it, and applied a foot massage. He felt much better.

It rained heavily again in the evening, and the sound of rain hitting the roof of the farmhouse made a pattering sound.

Everyone was a little sleepless.

"When will this rain stop?"

Li Shengnan sighed in the darkness.

Yang Qing didn't know how to comfort her. This was just the beginning. The extreme cold and heat that would follow would be the most unbearable.

At least the temperature is suitable now and we can go out with speedboats. Once the extreme cold comes, thousands of miles of ice will be frozen, and I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.

When Yang Qing thought of this, he felt that the wood he had brought back last time was far from enough, and he had to transport some more back.

With the sound of rain, everyone gradually fell asleep.

Fortunately, the rain stopped the next day and everyone got up and washed up.

Yang Qing was washing her face outside by the stone trough when she saw Leng Yi and Xiaoxue coming down the mountain from afar. She couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you here so early? What were you doing?"

"It rained so hard last night that I'm a little worried. The water level at the foot of the mountain has risen a lot, and there have been landslides in some areas ahead."

"We need to bake the beef jerky as soon as possible today and leave early. It's not safe here anymore." Leng Yi said.

Yang Qing nodded. Lu Lin had already cooked beef noodles in the kitchen and asked everyone to eat together.

"There's beef noodles?" Li Shengnan was surprised.

"Knowing we were going to stay outside, I brought two packs of noodles with me, and the beef was already prepared."

"Everyone needs to be full to have the energy to work, right?" Lu Lin said with a smile.

"Lu Lin is still virtuous. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed." Gao Yang said with a smile.

"Our Linlin is so capable, I can't bear to marry her off. Anyone who wants to pursue her has to get past me first." Yang Qing said.

Lu Lin smiled and said, "I won't get married. I will cook for you for the rest of my life."

Leng Yi looked over and thought, then I will never have a chance again?

"Is your foot healed? How did you get out?" Leng Yi just noticed that Yang Qing didn't seem to be struggling at all standing there.

"Yeah, it's almost done!" Yang Qing twisted her ankle. "It wasn't serious to begin with. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

In fact, she knew that it was all thanks to Lingquan.

"We still have to be careful..." Leng Yi worried.

"I'm really fine now. You're so nagging." Yang Qing glared at him, nagging.

A few people laughed secretly.

Leng Yi felt a little helpless. Why was this woman so slow?

After breakfast, everyone continued to work.

"Linlin, leave this to them. Let's go find some wild vegetables. We can't eat all the vegetables we grow at home."

"Don't move, I'll go!" Leng Yi said quickly, "Your foot is just getting better, don't move around!"

Li Shengnan smiled and said, "Let me go. You tell me which wild vegetables are edible. Lu Lin and I will go together."

Yang glanced at Leng Yi and took out his mobile phone. Although there was no network, he could still look at the pictures as long as the phone was charged.

"Look at these screenshots. This is dandelion, this is shepherd's purse, this is purslane, and this is amaranth."

"Just pick whatever you see, and you can eat it after blanching it in water."

Jiang Hao said, "Pick more. If I don't eat vegetables, I'll be unable to poop."

Everyone laughed.

"By the way, do you know about Houttuynia cordata? People in our area love to eat it. It can clear away heat and reduce internal heat."

"It's Houttuynia cordata. It should be more abundant near water." Yang Qing added.

"Okay, let's try to pick as much as possible." Lu Lin nodded and took an extra-large plastic bag.

Yang Qing handed her the pistol and said, "Be careful, both of you!"

"Don't worry!" said Li Shengnan.

Three men were making a fire to roast dried meat. Yang Qing looked at the red-hot wood and suddenly thought of making some charcoal.

"Leng Yi, go to the kitchen and see if there are any jars, either for making pickled vegetables or for making wine."

"Okay, I'll go find it!" Leng Yi responded and quickly took out a half-meter-high wine jar from the kitchen.

The belly is big and the mouth is small. The wine inside is gone. It must have been drunk by the previous group of people.

"What do you want this for?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.

"I want to make some charcoal to take back." Yang Qing took out the fire tongs. The farmhouse used a wood stove and had all these things.

Pinch the red-hot wood out and throw it into the jar, then cover the mouth of the jar with a wooden board. Without air in the jar, the wood will quickly go out and turn into a piece of black charcoal.

"I didn't expect you could do this?" Gao Yang was surprised.

Yang Qing smiled, "When I was a kid, I lived in the countryside with my grandparents, and that's what they did."

"Life wasn't very good back then, and they couldn't bear to buy charcoal, so they saved it little by little while cooking. They saved quite a bit over the course of a year, and when they needed it, they had it."

"I really miss my previous life, which was simple but beautiful." Yang Qing said with some emotion.

"Yes, I didn't know how to cherish before, and now it's impossible to live the life I used to live." Gao Yang also sighed.

"It wouldn't be bad if the end of the world was like this." Jiang Hao said.

Yang Qing shook his head. Are you satisfied after just a few days of peace and quiet? Hard times are still ahead.

But Leng Yi was in a daze, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Leng Yi lowered his eyelids. "If you want charcoal, I'll burn more. It's a waste to keep the firewood in the farmhouse. Let's burn it all."

Yang Qing nodded, feeling that Leng Yi seemed to have something on his mind, but was reluctant to ask.

After a day, all the beef was finally roasted. In addition to the hide, bones and internal organs of the more than 1,000 kilograms of beef, there was also 800 kilograms of meat.

Twenty pounds of meat were left for each person, mainly beef brisket which was not suitable for making beef jerky. A few pounds were also left for dinner. From the remaining more than 600 pounds of beef, only more than 200 pounds of beef jerky were made.

More than 200 kilograms of beef jerky filled two large bags. Lu Lin and the others also found a large bag of wild vegetables, and Yang Qing also burned a large bag of charcoal. Everyone returned home with a full load.

Wang Min was very happy to see that they all came back safely and brought so many things.

"You didn't come back yesterday, and I was worried. Fortunately, you are all fine."

"How is things at home? Is anyone here to cause trouble?" Yang Qing asked.

"Only the building manager came here. I ignored him and he left out of boredom," Wang Min replied.

"That's it. Don't pay attention to that kind of person, or he'll just take advantage of you."

Yang Qing curled her lips. That day, she just wanted to see if he would be too embarrassed to refuse her because of his good attitude. As a result, Li Shengnan and the others had to suffer because of him.

Gao Yang handed the points card to Wang Min, "Yang Qing and Leng Yi found another cow, and we exchanged our points. This is yours!"

"Really?" Wang Min was very surprised. This would give her an extra way out in the future.

Lu Lin weighed the beef jerky and found it weighed two hundred and thirty kilograms.

"Thirty kilograms per person, the extra twenty kilograms should be given to Yang Qing. She will provide all the seasonings and vacuum bags."

No one else had any objections.

"I don't need that much, so I'll take ten more kilograms and give the remaining ten kilograms to Leng Yi. Without him, I can't find the cow by myself." Yang Qing said.

Leng Yi looked at her, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily. She was still thinking about herself.

Everyone agreed.
