There weren't enough seats on the sofa, so Peng Yu brought out a few chairs from the next room and distributed them to everyone.
Xia Feng usually only talks to Zhou Xinran a few words. He doesn't talk to anyone else much. As for Lin Xuan, she's only familiar with Zhou Lerui and Peng Ze.
At this moment, Xia Feng and Lin Xuan were sitting on the large sofa in the middle, and no one dared to sit next to them.
Lin Xuan seemed lost in thought. Xia Feng put his arm around her and pinched her cheek, not saying a word to the others.
After a moment of silence, Cao Zhiyong and Peng Yu broke the deadlock by speaking.
"Ugh, these people are absolutely depraved!" Although Cao Zhiyong was selfish, greedy, and lustful, he was just a law-abiding citizen before the apocalypse, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene in the barn.
Peng Yu nodded: "This is the first time I've ever seen something like this. In this messed-up apocalypse, people have become so wicked."
“Sigh…” Peng Yu sighed deeply.
Yao Yao sat on a single sofa with her arms crossed, "What should we do with the women in those barns? Should we..."
Yao Yao glanced quickly at Lin Xuan. She was about to suggest sending some clothes or food over, but seeing that Lin Xuan was still in a daze, she lowered her voice.
She felt that Lin Xuan must have collected a lot of things in her space, because Zhou Lerui and Peng Ze often ate and drank in her car.
Yao Yao was very envious of this, as she had never benefited from it even once.
However, since the items are in someone else's space, it's not her place to arrange them.
She was also shocked by the scene in the barn. The thought that she might have ended up like those women if she hadn't been with Zhou Xinran and the others sent chills down her spine.
"Huh? What did you say, Yao Yao?" Cao Zhiyong smiled, but Yao Yao was annoyed just looking at his lewd face.
"It's nothing." She turned her face away; she figured she'd better say less.
Peng Yu and Cao Zhiyong chatted for a while longer, exchanging a few words, before Zhou Xinran and the others who had gone upstairs to take a shower came down.
The awkward atmosphere immediately eased.
"Little Bao, do you have a hairdryer? I need to dry my hair!" Zhou Lerui had already changed her clothes, but her long, curly hair was still dripping wet.
Lin Xuan snapped out of her reverie; she was contemplating how to kill Zhang Xiaoqi.
First of all, she definitely can't die too easily; she's not very good at torturing people.
The question is how to make her die a miserable and painful death.
Because they appeared a few days later, she suffered more torment in this life, which is for the best.
When she saw Zhang Xiaoqi lying in a pile of excrement with her face slashed, she felt really relieved.
But that's not enough. How should I torture her?
I took a power bank out of the room, plugged in a hairdryer, and gave it to Zhou Lerui so she could go dry her hair.
Lin Xuan continued to ponder the question of what the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty were.
Zhou Lerui had a feeling that this little girl was about to turn evil, because the expression on her face was getting more and more wicked.
My two puffy eyes are almost turning into an inverted triangle shape...
Zhou Xinran went downstairs and immediately started making arrangements for dinner.
"Yao Yao, hurry up and cook. Xiao Ze, don't we have a self-heating hot pot? Let's eat that today. Also, cook some rice, cook a lot, I'm starving."
Yao Yao and Peng Ze both sprang into action upon Zhou Xinran's command.
Surprisingly, the village chief's kitchen contained a lot of rice, flour, cooking oil, two large bags of slightly sprouted potatoes, and some sweet potatoes.
The cabinet next to the stove was also neatly stacked with many canned goods, biscuits, and dried goods.
Zhou Xinran was laughing all the way to the bank. Before the apocalypse, what good things hadn't this young nobleman seen? Now, he was grinning from ear to ear at a bag of dried seaweed.
Quickly call Lin Xuan and Peng Ze over to collect the things.
Lin Xuan was forced to abandon her torture-themed thoughts and went to the kitchen with a sour face.
"Zhou Lao Er, put in a few more boxes of Zihaiguo (a type of hot pot), I'll return them to you later. We won't cook rice separately anymore."
Xia Feng knew Lin Xuan was in a bad mood, so he allowed her to eat an unhealthy meal once.
"What do you mean by not paying me back? Don't be so polite with me." Zhou Xinran was quite happy that Xia Feng could have dinner with them. He had been taking advantage of him all this time, so it was a rare opportunity for him to pay back.
Upon hearing that they could eat together, Lin Xuan stopped worrying about how to torture people.
She took out a few boxes of hot and sour noodles from her space, intending to have Yao Yao cook them with Zihaiguo (a hot pot brand). She had wanted to eat this for a long time, but her brother wouldn't let her.
Yao Yao and Sun Youmei worked together and quickly finished cooking the meal.
A group of people sat around the village chief's large round wooden table with intricate carvings, each with a large bowl of rice and a whole box of self-heating hot pot.
The self-heating hot pot also includes cooked hot and sour rice noodles and instant noodles.
They usually eat out sitting on folding chairs, so it's rare for them to have such a comfortable meal.
Lin Xuan ate a spoonful of rice and a chopstickful of vermicelli with great relish.
Self-heating hot pot is very spicy, but the more you eat, the more addictive it becomes.
Xia Feng watched her eat, shaking her head and sniffling, and reached out to rub her round, chubby cheeks.
Lin Xuan didn't even look up, shrugged and pushed away her brother's rough hand. She didn't like being disturbed while eating, and neither could her brother.
After finishing their meal, the group went to find rooms to rest. The village chief's house had six rooms upstairs and downstairs.
Xia Feng picked up Lin Xuan and went upstairs, choosing a room near the stairs. He didn't care how the remaining rooms were arranged; he and Xiao Bao were definitely going to have one.
The rest of the people sat in the living room. It was hot, and it would be stuffy to go back to their rooms, so it was cooler in the living room.
"What about the women in the barn? Should we go and lend a hand?" Sun Youmei asked timidly.
“I just saw the aunties at the village entrance have already gone to help. We are all men, so it’s not very convenient for us. If you really want to help, you can go and take a look.”
