After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...
After Xi's father finished tidying up, he was pushed out of the bathroom and immediately saw his family's lucky cat ornament on the air vent. A feeling of indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.
This is definitely his own RV; he's not dreaming!
At the same time, Chu Zhiqin's eyes also welled up with tears. The long-awaited reunion made her thoughts wander, and for a moment she felt that everything around her was somewhat unreal.
Xi Xi was intently fiddling with a roll of blue medical bandage.
"Where did this come from?" Chu Zhiqin had worked with Xi Xi on the house organization and knew the house's items like the back of her hand, so she naturally didn't remember having such a roll of bandage.
"Uncle Cheng just gave it to me." Xi Xi said, tearing open the outer packaging of the bandage. The bandage seemed to have been soaked in herbs, emitting a faint medicinal smell. "He said to contact him again when I run out, he has connections."
Xi Xi looked at her father and whispered, "Bear with it," before carefully unfolding the bandage.
Seeing this, Chu Zhiqin quickly stepped forward and rolled up the cuff of Xi Zhongcang's right trouser leg. When the cuff was rolled up, Xi Xi couldn't help but gasp – Xi Zhongcang's right leg was not only frighteningly swollen, but also covered with purplish-blue bruises, looking extremely serious.
Xi Zhongcang was clearly enduring the pain. His left limb was an old injury, so he didn't feel much pain at the moment. However, his healthy right leg was completely immobile.
As the first strip of cloth touched his skin, he gripped the edge of the table tightly. At that point of contact, a chilling cold seemed to rush through him, as if he had suddenly been struck by icicles.
Despite trying his best to hold back, Xi's father couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
As the bandage was wrapped for the third time, the aroma of medicine mixed with the smell of burning filled the room, and Xi Xi could clearly feel the bandage in her hand becoming warm.
"Girl, why is this suddenly so hot?" Xi Zhongcang had never seen such a strange bandage before, and his forehead gradually became covered with sweat.
“I’ve never used it before…” Xi Xi felt the temperature with the back of her hand again, and it was indeed frighteningly hot. “Cheng Xu said that his mother used this special medical tool when she injured her arm before. Although the process was a bit uncomfortable, the effect was quite good.”
“Fine, I’ll endure it.” Xi Zhongcang gritted his teeth and insisted, “My left leg is hopeless, but at least I can hope that my right leg will get better.”
Xi Xi's gaze darkened slightly; in fact, she wasn't sure herself.
After all, according to Cheng Xu, his mother's arm injury did not involve any bones or tendons, so it was hard to predict whether it would be effective in treating his father's severely injured right leg.
However, despite feeling slightly uneasy, she still smiled and comforted her father. To distract him from the pain in his right leg, Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin pushed the RV together and led her father on a tour of the entire interior.
From the spacious and comfortable living room to the fully equipped kitchen, and then to the cozy bedroom and the skylight that can be seen by looking up, every place amazed Xi Zhongcang.
Xi Zhongcang's state of mind gradually changed as the visit progressed, and in the end, his eyes reddened.
Because the shopping cart couldn't climb the steep spiral staircase to the third-floor courtyard and the fourth-floor terrace, Xi Xi was already a little anxious. Now, seeing her father secretly wiping away tears, she tried her best to say a few words to comfort Xi Zhongcang and ease his pain.
But Xi Zhongcang shook his head dismissively. He held his wife and daughter's hands tightly, speechless for a long time.
Late at night, Xi Zhongcang lay on the soft bed in his bedroom, enjoying the long-lost comfort, and gradually closed his eyes. That night, he slept exceptionally well, and for the first time in a long time, he was not bothered by the pain in his right leg and did not have to get up at night.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Xi Xi's bedroom was located on the second floor of the car, and she could see all the road conditions ahead by simply opening the curtains.
Clearly, Cheng Xu and Liu Yunyan's vehicle had vanished without a trace on the road ahead.
That makes sense, since they all drive at high speeds in shifts, while ours uses a constant-speed automatic driving system, so it's natural that we can't keep up over time.
However, it doesn't matter, because they had already made preparations due to the threat from the "island nation's guard" yesterday.
Ultimately, the three companies decided to work together and set off together, each controlling their own speed. As long as they maintained roughly the same daily mileage, they wouldn't be too far apart, and they could help each other in times of crisis.
Xi Xi believes this method is feasible. Compared to milestone rankings, she clearly cares more about the safety of her family. Now that the family of three is reunited, nothing could be better.
Having spent a long time with the Liu sisters and Cheng Xu's family, Xi Xi knew that they were all trustworthy people.
Although Xi Xi still felt the same sense of unease about not being able to open up to others as she did in her previous life, she knew that she couldn't be too guarded. As a result, she never openly revealed that she possessed the "Blessing with a Wise Pen" system and related resources such as the autonomous driving system. However, she generally trusted Cheng Xu and Liu Yunyan's character.
Since Xi Xi didn't bring it up, they didn't ask, and they never showed any covetousness for Xi Xi's supplies. They always maintained the proper boundaries between friends, which was more than enough.
And so began a period of traveling together.
Whenever the car's central control screen alerts that players have appeared at the map's edge, Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin, who were originally engrossed in watching dramas, would quickly return to the driver's seat and then pretend to drive with a serious expression.
Since the Liu sisters and Cheng Xu's family all relied on human power to drive, they naturally needed to take turns resting. Therefore, even though everyone's speed was different, Xi Xi would sometimes meet them at the emergency passage by the bridge when they stopped for a picnic.
Sometimes, Xi Xi would simply stop the car, greet them, and then chat about what she had seen and heard that day, sharing her recent situation.
The families even started exchanging dishes for each meal. This exchange was just like the alleyway life in the 70s and 80s. At mealtimes, every household would sit on the long corridor of their bungalows and share the dishes they had cooked.
You send me half a plate of fried ribbonfish, and I send you half a bowl of braised pork. With this back and forth, our daily meals have become more varied and diverse.
It's great to have a lot of people! In the past, Xi Xi and Chu Zhiqin usually ate two dishes and a soup every day. It had been a long time since they had eaten a table full of luxurious dishes! This time, not only Xi Zhongcang, but even Xi Xi ate two bowls of rice.
Meanwhile, Chu Zhiqin wasn't idle either. She exchanged many knitting tips and experiences with Cheng's mother, and the two had a very pleasant conversation. Cheng's mother praised Chu Zhiqin's knitting skills highly and even gave her a lot of rare knitting materials!
The luminous plants that Chu Zhiqin planted were growing very well, and even occupied a lot of the habitat of the blue fungus!
