Chapter 111: Second Awakening
Ning Yuan's recovery gave the other people some confidence. They all had someone beside them, whispering to them from time to time to divert their attention. Even the lone knight Li Zhuang had Zhuang Aiyi beside him, chattering to him about what had happened to them in the past few days.
Li Zhuang obviously listened well and would ask him a few questions from time to time to cooperate, which made Zhuang Aiyi speak even more excitedly.
Xi Shi put a table in the corner of the living room as a chopping board and was making pancakes with a rolling pin. A row of ready-made pancakes were placed on the side. The generator was connected to an electric pancake maker, which was obviously not enough. When she saw him wake up, she immediately asked him if he had an electric pancake maker.
"We have chickens too. Shall we make chicken soup? We have robbed some hostages, so we have pork and chicken. Can we eat enough tonight?" Ning Yuan looked at Lu Weiyi and asked.
"Okay," Lu Weiyi said, throwing out a whole pig and several chickens.
"This weather is not suitable for slaughtering pigs," said Xiong Jie.
Lu Weiyi replaced it with a large piece of meat that had been killed previously.
"It's such a cold day, it's suitable to eat hotpot. Why don't we have hotpot?" said Gu Qingyue.
"Sure, Weiyi, do you have any ingredients for hot pot?" Ning Yuan had been eating pancakes and buns for several days and was extremely excited at this moment.
Lu Weiyi took out a few packets of hot pot ingredients from the space, along with a few double-pots.
"Let's eat together when they wake up at night. I'll prepare the chicken and make soup first," Xi Shi asked.
"Sure, have a hot pot and have a good sleep."
"I want to take a bath while there is snow and water." As soon as Lu Weiyi said this, he was immediately echoed by others. At this time, no one talked about cooking or eating anymore. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and went out to collect snow and boil water.
The people lying on their sides were taken out and warmed up, and the bathtub and washbasin were used in turn. After the few people who were fine had washed, the few people with special abilities were also fine.
Among the three, Liu Rui's ability upgrade is more obvious. He bears most of the burden by himself, so the effect is naturally better. Li Zhuang and Antonio are not bad either.
Li Zhuang directly sealed the windows that they had sealed with cabinet boards with earth walls, so that not even a bit of wind could get in.
Two tables have been set up in the living room, with plates filled with all kinds of vegetable meatballs. The chicken soup is emitting a warm and fragrant aroma. To suit the occasion, Xu Sa even asked Lu Weiyi for some beer. The lively atmosphere makes people feel like they are celebrating Chinese New Year.
After everyone came out of the shower, feeling refreshed, their dinner officially began.
The hot pot base used is the one commonly sold in supermarkets. It is not very delicious for a few people who have eaten good food, but it is very tempting for people who have been running around in the apocalypse for a month.
Spicy and mushroom soup flavors, plus a few bottles of sesame paste, and Xishi was very particular about cutting various small ingredients for everyone to choose from.
A spoonful of sesame paste with a few clusters of chopped green onions and garlic, a spoonful of oyster sauce and a spoonful of chopped chili, a slice of mutton picked up with chopsticks and rolled it twice in the spicy soup, then rolled it in the chili oil and handed it to Zhuang Mingxu, who loved spicy food. Seeing this person who hadn't tasted spicy food for more than half a month take a bite with satisfaction between his brows, Lu Weiyi felt that this end of the world was not that difficult.
"Is it tasty enough? Do you want me to add another spoonful of chili oil?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Okay?" The supplies were all at Lu Weiyi's place. He had never taken out hot sauce or anything like that during meals before. Zhuang Mingxu always thought he didn't have any. It wasn't until Xu Sa wanted to eat some and asked him for it that Zhuang Mingxu secretly heard him say that he had an injured leg and was afraid of getting an inflammation from eating spicy food, so he asked them to avoid eating it.
Later, even though Zhuang Mingxu felt that the food was not very tasty, he did not say anything more.
"Yeah," Lu Weiyi asked Gu Qingyue after coming back. Gu Qingyue said that the injury on his leg had healed, but he couldn't move because he didn't get good treatment. "We can eat them in the future. I have saved a lot of peppers and seeds. We can grow them ourselves when we return to Qingyuan."
After Lu Weiyi finished speaking, he looked down and saw Zhuang Mingxu's legs folded limply, and whispered, "I'll ask the hospital to get some examination equipment when I get back, and I'll perform surgery on you as soon as possible."
"I'm not in a hurry." Zhuang Mingxu held Lu Weiyi's hand and advised gently, "Don't be in a hurry either. Safety comes first."
"Brother Mingxu, Lu Xiaoyi, don't you two want to eat?" Liu Rui was fine now, and Xu Sa was naturally in high spirits as well. Looking at the two people talking affectionately and in low voices among a table of people standing and grabbing food, he really felt that they were very out of place.
"Why are you reminding them? Wouldn't it be better if you just eat it yourself?" Ning Yuan snatched the piece of meat that Xu Sa had just picked up with his chopsticks, rolled it in the dipping sauce, and put it into his mouth before Xu Sa stretched out his chopsticks to grab it. It was so hot that he sucked it.
"That's right. Wouldn't it be nice to have two less people fighting for the food?" Antonio, who was sitting at another table, came over from a distance, picked up a piece of beef roll that had not yet been put into the pot from the table with chopsticks, and threw it into his own pot.
"Hey, if you want to grab it, then grab it. Why do you grab it across the table? Is that appropriate for you?" Ning Yuan shouted and went to the table over there to see if there was anything he wanted to grab. However, a few burly guys over there threw everything into the pot at once, and all that was left were some uncommon vegetables.
He thought about taking it from the pot, but seeing how they were guarding against it, he realized that it was impossible for him to do so. He had no choice but to come back and complain to Lu Weiyi, "Mingxu doesn't seem to have had the meat yet, Weiyi, look..."
"Then you should eat less," Lu Weiyi said, and generously took out ten boxes to share, and joined the team of people grabbing food.
Hotpot is something that tastes better when there are more than a dozen people. The ingredients were refilled several times among the dozen or so people, and various vegetables were added several times. In the end, everyone who had eaten lay down on the sofa, holding their stomachs and no one wanted to move. Even Zhuang Aiyi, who had been fed by Lu Xi, took two digestive tablets uncomfortably.
After eating and drinking, the group went to bed early.
There was no shortage of supplies, so Li Zhuang sealed all the windows of the three rooms connected to where they lived, including the living room.
Each room has a small sun to warm it up, two beds are placed in it, and covered with thick quilts, it feels like lying on clouds, and the beautiful people are smiling when they sleep.
The people who were on night watch were divided into two groups. The first half of the night was made up of Xiong Jie and Xu Sa, and the second half was made up of Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingji.
Several people with special powers each occupied a room and fell into a daze as they lay down. Compared to those who had been waiting here, they had been running around all day, and their bodies were competing for energy. Their special powers were full but their bodies were limited, and they could hardly open their eyes after eating and drinking.
Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu took Lu Xi and Zhuang Aiyi to choose a small side-bedroom, which was just big enough to fit two beds, one large and one small, so the two half-grown children were not crowded.
"No, no...let me go...let me go..."
In the middle of the night, Lu Xi's whispering woke Lu Weiyi up. As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhuang Mingxu's voice rang in his ears, "Maybe you had a nightmare?"
"Hmm" Lu Weiyi rubbed his eyes and responded, "You go to sleep, I'll take a look at him."
"Xiaoxi? Xiaoxi?" He stood up and walked to the crib, stretched out his hand to shake Lu Xi, but there was no response after shaking him twice. Lu Weiyi felt something was wrong, so he took a closer look in the light of the sun. Lu Xi's face was red, and when he touched his forehead, he found that he had a fever.
"What's wrong?" Zhuang Mingxu sat up and turned on the flashlight.
"I have a fever." Most people who have a fever after a heavy snow are about to awaken their special powers. "You go to sleep, I'll go check on the others."
Only the light in the living room was on, but no one was there. I guess he was out patrolling the yard.
Lu Weiyi went to the master bedroom. As soon as he entered, Li Zhuang sat up and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Lu Xi has a fever. Does anyone here have a fever?" While Lu Weiyi was speaking, Lin Yimu, Ning Yuan and Antonio also woke up.
Several people shook their heads. Lu Weiyi went to lie on the other side. Living inside were the brothers Xi Shi, Liu Rui and Gu Qingyue. Their alertness was obviously not as good as the people next to them. Liu Rui only noticed Lu Weiyi after he walked in. When he heard Lu Weiyi's questions, he was still confused. Lu Weiyi was also drunk.
"Brother Xi?" Lu Weiyi called out to Xi Shi who was standing next to him.
"Hmm?" Xi Shi squinted and looked over, "Wei Yi, what's wrong?"
"Do you have a fever? Look at Gu Qingji and Gu Qingyue again?"
"Me?" Xi Shi touched himself, shook his head, turned around and touched Gu Qingyue. Liu Rui on the other side also reacted, and while he was taking action, he reached out to touch Gu Qingji's forehead.
"No"
"burn……"
Before Xi Shi could finish his words, Liu Rui's stuttering voice was already heard. It was not until Lu Weiyi walked closer and touched Gu Qingji's forehead that he said the word "了".
"Weiyi, what's wrong? What happened?" Gu Qingyue, who had just woken up, sat up immediately when he saw Lu Weiyi, his eyes instantly clear.
"It's okay, he has a fever," Lu Weiyi said, "Carry him to the living room."
"Qingji? Qingji?" Gu Qingyue became anxious upon hearing that. He shook Gu Qingji but there was no response, so he immediately got up from the bed. Liu Rui, who was sleeping outside, had already put on his shoes. He turned around and said, "I... I'll carry you on my back."
One side of the sofa in the living room had been removed and a bed was placed in its place. Liu Rui put the person down, and Lu Xi was also carried out by Li Zhuang.
Xiong Jie and Xu Sa, who were out on patrol, came in wrapped in snow and snow. When they saw the scene, they asked, "What happened?"
"They both have a fever," Li Zhuang replied.
Lu Weiyi poured two cups of hot water and handed one to Gu Qingyue, "Feed him something."
"Your fever is so high. Do you need to take some antipyretics?" Gu Qingyue helped Gu Qingji up and touched his forehead, feeling very anxious.
Lu Weiyi yawned, shook his head, helped Lu Xi up and fed him some water, then said to the others, "You guys go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
"It's time for the handover. Brother Xiong, you two should go to sleep. Wei Yi and I will be on guard for the rest of the night. We'll call you if anything happens," Gu Qingyue said, glancing at Li Zhuang.
Li Zhuang nodded and went back to his room. Xu Sa and Xiong Jie did not exchange pleasantries either.
Compared to other people who were on night watch, Lu Weiyi was more convenient. He simply pushed the little green branch into the yard, and shook it around from time to time. The whole scene was reflected in his mind, so there was no need to go out.
Lu Weiyi hadn't slept well and was actually a little tired. However, Gu Qingyue fed them some water from time to time and applied a cold towel to them. He couldn't fall asleep despite the rustling sound.
At dawn, Lu Weiyi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly sat up and said, "Someone is coming."
