Natural disasters descended abruptly, and the world underwent massive changes. First came extreme heat, then extreme cold, followed by earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain, all arri...
"Why didn't you call me when you saw me? I would be very sad if you did that."
"What is sadness?" Xixi asked with a confused look on her face.
"Sadness means..." Wu Yue was a little stumped by the question. After thinking for a while, she gave a more reasonable answer, "Sadness means crying."
After hearing Wu Yue's explanation, Xixi's eyes opened wider than before, "Auntie, don't cry. Xixi will blow it."
Jing Chuxue at the side helped explain, "Sometimes she accidentally fell down and cried because of the pain. I told her to blow on it and she would stop crying, and she learned it."
Children always do this, they put what they learn into practice.
After understanding Xixi's meaning, Wu Yue became happy. "Since Xixi is so good to me, give Xixi something delicious to drink."
As Wu Yue spoke, she took out a thumb-sized bottle from the big pocket on her clothes.
The bottle contains a clear liquid.
After opening the bottle cap, no smell came out.
Wu Yue held the bottle close to Xixi's mouth, "Xixi, open your mouth and drink it all in one breath, okay?"
Xixi and Wu Yue were very familiar with each other. She would eat anything Wu Yue gave her without any hesitation.
The same is true now.
Xixi opened her mouth and Wu Yue poured all the liquid in the bottle into her mouth.
The bottle itself is not big, and minus the volume of the bottle, there is even less liquid inside.
Even though Xixi is small and has a small mouth, she can drink the liquid in one breath.
Jing Chuxue and Shen Cheng looked at this scene, looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Although they didn't know what Wu Yue gave Xixi to drink, they did believe in Wu Yue's character.
No matter what, Wu Yue would definitely not harm Xixi.
Xixi was sick and in a bad mood. Not long after drinking the liquid, she became drowsy.
His eyes could no longer be opened, and his little head was still moving noisily.
Seeing how sleepy she was, Jing Chuxue put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
"Thank you very much." Jing Chuxue looked at Su Nian and Wu Yue and thanked them sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."
Jing Chuxue said with a bitter smile, "Xixi has basically never been sick in the two years since she was born. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the lack of medical care and medicine before, but now... there is no sun, and now it's suddenly cold and snowing. The child's body is not as good as ours, and he couldn't handle it all of a sudden, so he fell ill."
Jing Chuxue was only talking about Xixi, but Su Nian thought of some other issues because of her words.
The number of newborns in recent years is of course much less than before the end of the world.
But it’s not completely absent.
As the years go by, some people who were not too old originally have gradually grown older and their physical fitness can no longer keep up.
First of all, with such a sudden drop in temperature, it is estimated that Xixi is not the only one who cannot bear it.
Xixi was lucky enough to know them and get the medicine.
But what about those people?
Su Nian is not a virtuous person, but under the current circumstances, the sharp drop in the number of people is indeed not a good thing.
Thinking of this, Su Nian gradually had some ideas in his mind.
However, how to do it specifically still requires some careful study.
While Su Nian was thinking, Wu Yue was talking to Jing Chuxue, "She will get better soon. We don't know when the snow will stop. Even if she gets better, don't let her go out casually, lest she catch a cold again."
Jing Chuxue nodded heavily, "I know!"
They had said almost everything that needed to be said, and Xixi fell asleep again, so Su Nian and Wu Yue did not stay any longer and said goodbye and left.
It took almost an hour in total, and when they got home, Su Nian and Wu Yue were already starving.
After taking off his coat and washing his hands and face, Su Nian directly took out the dining table, put a stove on it, and put a steaming snail noodle soup base on it.
The soup in the pot was already hot, and it began to boil and bubble soon after being placed on the fire.
Various hot pot dishes are also prepared, just pour them in and cook them.
After the two of them ate in silence for a while, Su Nian asked, "What do you think of growing some medicinal herbs?"
Wu Yue took a big bite of mutton first, then glanced at Su Nian, "Are you soft-hearted again? You have a cold face all day long, but you are the softest one."
Su Nian didn't even look at Wu Yue and continued, "I have a lot of Chinese medicinal seeds. You can make some suitable nutrients and sell them to a few bases, and let them grow them themselves.
As for what to buy, food, clothes, daily necessities, or weapons, it's all fine, what do you think?"
Wu Yue took a sip of the happy water and said, "If you think it's okay, then it's okay."
Su Nian had planned everything, and asked her what she thought and what to do.
Although, she also thought it was a good idea.
It was not enough for the two of them to discuss it. After Jing Mo came back in the evening, he talked to Jing Mo again.
Jing Mo's brows were filled with fatigue. After hearing Su Nian's words, he immediately nodded and agreed, "We are thinking the same thing again. Even if you don't mention this, I still want to discuss it with you."
Hearing Jing Mo's words, Su Nian was somewhat surprised, "What's wrong? Did Captain Kong or someone else say something in front of you?"
Otherwise, why would Jing Mo suddenly talk about this?
"Neither. There are many sick people in the First Base. People with fever and cough can be seen everywhere. Even in the research institute, many people are coughing. The sound of coughing has been lingering in my ears all day long."
The sound of coughing is disturbing enough. If there are many people coughing in your ears all day long, anyone would be upset.
Su Nian looked at Jing Mo sympathetically, "Thank you for your hard work."
Jing Mo shook his head, "I don't think anything of it, but I just think this is not a solution.
Without medicine, they can only endure it, and as time goes on, more and more people will be infected.”
Hearing this, Wu Yue also spoke up, "But it's too late to start growing herbs now!"
"It's okay. Captain Kong has already obtained a batch of expired medicines. The herbs are just for future use."
As soon as the words "expired medicine" were uttered, all three of them fell silent.
If there is any way, no one would let others take expired medicine.
But the current situation is here. If you don’t take expired medicine, you can only endure it.
It is not certain whether you will be poisoned by expired medicine, but it is certain that you may be dragged to death by the disease if you continue to bear it.
Kong Jianming also said that the matter of expired medicines would be made clear to everyone, and it would be up to them to decide whether to take the medicines or not.
