Everyone watched the scene unfold in silence.
No one spoke up to stop it.
The elderly man, who was in his seventies, had an unusually strong grip, tightly controlling Yunxi's throat.
He Yunxi didn't speak, but just looked at the old man in front of her with a half-smile, without even struggling.
With so many people around, he can't escape.
Perhaps, this is also a kind of relief.
Let's go!
Leng Yebai subconsciously stood in front of Bai Xizhu, blocking her view.
When those dark, bright eyes became sad, it would pierce his heart.
Bai Xizhu glanced deeply at the old man behind Leng Yebai, who was so angry he was practically going crazy, and slowly left.
You get desensitized to these kinds of things after seeing them so often.
But every time I see it, I am still moved.
Bai Xizhu couldn't bear to watch what happened next; it was Bai Zhengxuan who described it with a sorrowful expression.
Yunxi was ultimately strangled to death.
The old man, still not satisfied, burned Yunxi and his wife, who had turned into a zombie, to the ground as well.
Later, the old man's body was found in the wheat field.
He was holding a bloodstained blue down jacket, his body covered in congealed blood.
The old man cut his wrists.
His granddaughter is his only relative in the world and the driving force that keeps him going.
Without her, the old man would find it difficult to face this apocalypse alone.
Bai Zhengxuan and Grandpa Wang buried the old man and the remains they found in He Yunxi's room. The two new graves, one large and one small, looked somewhat lonely in the endless wheat field.
One week after the apocalypse.
There was no rescue.
The tenth day of the apocalypse.
There has still been no rescue.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve.
At this time of year, every household would prepare a delicious meal, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and welcome the new year.
Now, the cold wind is howling.
More than a hundred cars were parked near the wind power plant, and people were running out of food in their cars.
We have enough rice and flour for a while, so we won't go hungry, but we're mainly craving it.
As it was Lunar New Year's Eve, some people started craving dumplings.
Without vegetables and meat, I can't even make dumplings.
There's no danger these past few days, and when there's no danger, I start to crave food.
People's mindset has also changed; they don't know when the rescue will arrive, or how long the food will last.
People started guarding the car regularly, fearing that people without food would steal it.
It's not unheard of; there was a time when someone pried open the trunk of a car and all the food was stolen!
Without cameras, Captain Zhu and his officers were powerless to do anything.
Bai Xizhu's family is highly skilled and daring, and they never worry about their belongings being stolen.
They were all stunned by the Bai family's incredible supernatural abilities.
Pick the softest persimmons.
Therefore, Bai Xizhu's family has been living a relatively peaceful life these past few days.
Inside the bus, the family sat around a small table.
The pure white dough was transformed into various shapes in Bai Anhai's hands, and then into small dough balls.
Bai Zhengxuan quickly took the rolling pin and rolled out a thin dumpling wrapper.
Leng Yebai looked at the dumpling wrappers in his hand with a serious expression, almost meticulously ensuring that the filling of each dumpling was the same.
This was the first time he had spent the Spring Festival with his family.
He grew up in an orphanage, where every child would receive a bowl of dumplings during the Spring Festival. That was how they celebrated the Spring Festival.
It turns out that having family is truly heartwarming.
Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?
Bai Xizhu looked at the uniformly sized dumplings that Leng Yebai had made and her lips twitched slightly.
The number of pinches on each dumpling is the same.
"...Wasn't it wrapped well?"
Leng Yebai paused for a moment, a slight nervousness creeping across his face.
This was the first time he had ever celebrated the Spring Festival like this, and in his heart, this dinner was very sacred.
I'm afraid that I might spoil everyone's fun.
"You wrapped it very well!" Bai Xizhu affirmed Leng Yebai's efforts, then glanced at the beads of sweat on his forehead and asked, "Aren't you tired?"
The cold wind howled outside the car window.
Sweat beaded on Leng Yebai's forehead.
"Not tired!"
Leng Yebai's lips curled up slightly.
As long as you don't dislike him, that's fine!
Bai Yifan looked at Leng Yebai making dumplings with a look of satisfaction. "This young man has a bright future!"
In the past, it was Bai Yifan who made dumplings.
Now, his title as a dumpling-making master has been inherited!
Bai Xizhu, Wang Yiyun, and their grandmother Liu Jing stood by, acting as supervisors.
"Old man, this wrapper is too thick. Roll it out again!" Liu Jing pointed critically at a dumpling wrapper.
"Okay!"
Bai Zhengxuan quickly picked up the rolling pin again and rolled it out a couple more times.
"Honey, knead this dough a little more, make it more elastic," Wang Yiyun said, pursing her lips.
"Okay!"
Bai Anhai quickly kneaded the dough.
"Leng Yebai, could you please stop using your delicate pinky finger when you're making dumplings?"
Bai Xizhu looked at Leng Yebai, who was making a delicate gesture with his fingers curled into a pinky finger, with a slight toothache.
Her long, slender, and fair fingers were even more beautiful than her delicate, orchid-like fingers; it was simply irresistible!
Leng Yebai: ...
Three ladies, they don't do any work themselves, but they have a lot of demands!
"Sis, brother-in-law just can't change!" Bai Yifan grinned and made a delicate pinky gesture. "He learned his dumpling-making skills from Dad!"
Bai Anhai, a renowned top lawyer, was once upright and indomitable.
In short, he's very manly.
But when it comes to making dumplings, her orchid-like fingers are more charming than anyone else's!
The Bai family's dumpling-making technique is an ancestral tradition, with everyone using the orchid-like finger gesture, passed down only to sons!
