Chapter 169 Preparing to Go to Kyoto
Lu Weiyi took out a few sets of clothes and asked several people to change. Then Zhuang Mingxu finally held Zhuang Aiyi in his arms and said, "Big Daddy will feed you porridge, okay?"
Zhuang Aiyi shook his head and lowered his head to play with the zipper of the down jacket that Zhuang Mingxu was wearing.
"If you don't eat, the disease won't be cured. Aiyi will feel uncomfortable later. Can we eat less?" Zhuang Mingxu lowered his voice to coax. Lu Weiyi sat next to him and finally felt at ease.
After Gu Qingyue checked the medicine he took and found that there was nothing wrong with it, he showed it to Xi Shi. After retaking the medicine, he prepared a portion for Zhuang Mingxu as well.
"I don't want to drink porridge," Zhuang Aiyi said in a low voice, being willful rarely.
"Then what do you want to eat? Daddy will ask someone to make it for you." Lu Weiyi felt that as long as Zhuang Aiyi asked for food, he would find it for him.
"...I want to eat eggs, a big cake, hamburgers, French fries and chicken wings." Zhuang Aiyi leaned in Zhuang Mingxu's arms and muttered softly.
As soon as the words fell, the others were still wondering where to find these things, when they saw Lu Weiyi stretch out his hand as if performing magic, and several cakes of different shapes instantly appeared on the makeshift table, as well as packaged hamburgers, French fries, chicken wings, cola, etc., which seemed to be still steaming at first glance. Finally, he held an egg paper tray in his hand, with a dozen eggs neatly placed on it.
As everyone stared in amazement, Lu Weiyi asked gently, "How would you like to eat your eggs, Aiyi? Boiled or steamed?"
In the end, Zhuang Aiyi chose steamed egg custard. Of course, he only looked at the other things and didn’t eat them at all, which made them a bargain for others.
After eating, Zhuang Aiyi fell asleep. Although he was still running a fever, he was obviously in much better spirits. Lu Weiyi was finally relieved.
Zhuang Mingxu held the sleeping Zhuang Aiyi and looked around. Although this was the only house for the team, except for the military personnel, there were people they rescued. There were only three floors and it was full of people and noise. They were grouped in one room, which looked good, but it was not suitable for patients to rest.
"Let's go back to the villa. The environment here is limited and not suitable for rest." Although there are only three floors left in the villa, the area is large enough. If the gym and greenhouse are vacated, it will definitely be better than here.
"Let's go now? It's still raining outside." Lu Weiyi felt that it was not suitable for Zhuang Aiyi to continue to be exposed to the rain.
"There are well-prepared raincoats on the third counter in the second row on the left side of your space. Wrap Aiyi up and I'll hold him. We'll drive the motorboat directly back." The space that passed through Zhuang Mingxu's hand came into play at this time. Zhuang Mingxu knew everything that Lu Weiyi didn't know.
"Ning Yuan and Lu Xi, go downstairs and wait. After they drive the motorboat back, we will drive back first." After Zhuang Mingxu issued the order, he looked at Xi Shi who was sleeping on the bed and asked Xiong Jie who was watching on the side, "Brother Xiong, are you okay?"
"Okay, give me a raincoat too, I'll wrap Xi Shi up," Xiong Jie said, holding Xi Shi's hand.
Lu Weiyi took out several raincoats and distributed them to several people.
Lu Xi and Ning Yuan had just gone downstairs when Lu Xi ran upstairs and said, "The motorboat is out of gas. There are two motorboats parked downstairs. If we have gas, we can go directly."
Lu Weiyi helped Zhuang Mingxu put on his raincoat and leaned over to carry him, but Zhuang Mingxu held his hand and said, "Wu Yue, carry me, you hold Aiyi and protect him."
Lu Weiyi pursed his lips and nodded. Xiong Jie held the tightly wrapped Xi Shi, Wu Yue carried Zhuang Mingxu on his back, Lu Weiyi held Zhuang Aiyi, and behind them followed the Gu Qingji brothers and Li Zhuang, who were the rear guard. The group came and left in a hurry.
From beginning to end, no one remembered Yun Lu and her daughter who went to see the burned girl. When Lin Wan and her daughter came back, they found that the room they had originally stayed in had been replaced by another group. They didn't even know when they left.
**
It was past five in the afternoon and night had fallen. If Ning Yuan, who had served in the army, had not had a good sense of direction, he might not have been able to find his home among this circle of identical villas with collapsed roofs.
"Someone come and help." Ning Yuan parked the motorboat at the window of a bedroom on the third floor where they left and shouted inside.
The dark room didn't look like anyone lived there, but as soon as he finished speaking, someone came over.
"You are finally back." Antonio first carried Zhuang Aiyi over and handed him to Lin Yimu. After helping the others jump up, Lu Weiyi finally put away the motorboat.
"Master, are you okay?" Lin Yimu held Zhuang Aiyi and looked Lu Weiyi up and down.
"I'm fine. Aiyi and Brother Xi both have fever." Lu Weiyi took off his raincoat to drain the water and shook his wet hair.
"Lu, if you don't come back, we will starve to death. I didn't expect you to take away everything in the basement." Antonio waved his hand and took several people to their temporary base - the empty greenhouse.
"Sorry, I forgot." Lu Weiyi was planning to drive away when the flood came, so he put all the food he could take away into the space. "Have you eaten?" They had eaten together every morning since then.
Xu Sa shrugged his shoulders and said, "We dived in and brought up everyone's backpacks from the room and ate something." Everyone's backpack contained some emergency supplies, including food and drinking water. Some instant foods had not been soaked even in the flood.
"That's good. Let's tidy up the room first and make a place to rest," said Zhuang Mingxu.
Lu Weiyi took out more than a dozen sets of bedding from the space and had someone tidy up the room, barely making a place to rest temporarily. Looking at the beds spread out on the ground, Lu Weiyi felt that it was necessary to put a few beds in the space.
As soon as the generator circuit was connected, the light in the villa room was restored. The gas stove and induction cooker were used together, and a pot of ginger soup was boiled out in a short while. Of course, it was not all ginger like before for the family to drink. Lu Xi generously put a lot of brown sugar in it. The taste was spicy with a hint of sweetness. Everyone drank a big bowl and sweated.
Lu Weiyi took out some mutated fruits from the space and gave them to a few ordinary people. As for the psychics, there was also some mutated meat. He stewed some vegetables for everyone to eat, and there was basically nothing to worry about.
"Are you okay?" Lu Weiyi handed a bunch of mutant grapes to Zhuang Mingxu and touched his forehead. He didn't have a fever.
"It's okay." Zhuang Mingxu leaned on the bed where Lu Xi originally lived, with Zhuang Aiyi sleeping beside him. He smiled and held his hand, but his body was not as good as before. Even with a down jacket, he still didn't feel warm enough after being caught in the rain.
Lu Weiyi brought him a bowl of ginger and sugar water, and took out some cold medicine. He watched him drink it, covered him tightly with the quilt, let him eat grapes, and lay loosely on him through the quilt.
"The Xiangning City base must have been washed away by the flood," Lu Weiyi whispered.
Zhuang Mingxu paused for a moment, then recovered instantly, "... um".
"We can't live here, we have to leave," Lu Weiyi said, "Are we going to Kyoto? There must be people with healing abilities there."
Zhuang Mingxu stroked Lu Weiyi's spine lightly, like stroking a cat, "Have you expected this situation to happen?" Zhuang Mingxu remembered that Lu Weiyi said he might not stay here for too long.
"...Not sure" After all, it is still very different from the previous life.
"Go back to Kyoto..." Zhuang Mingxu thought of the place where he was born. When he was forced to leave, he fantasized about going back countless times. However, after the end of the world, he was too busy to take care of himself and never thought about going there again. He didn't expect that a few months after the end of the world, he would go back as an exiled and disabled person.
Things in the world are unpredictable, that's just how it is.
Zhuang Mingxu chuckled and replied, "Okay!"
Around eight o'clock in the evening, the rain stopped outside.
After eating and drinking, they sat on the big bunk bed on the ground in groups of three or four to chat. Zhuang Aiyi, who felt insecure, fell asleep by clinging to someone. Lu Weiyi was worried about Zhuang Mingxu's legs, so she hugged him herself.
They sat on the floor, wrapped in a quilt. Zhuang Mingxu sat beside him, eating the mutated fruit one by one.
"Even if the Qingyuan base is destroyed now, I have decided to leave here and go to Kyoto. Can you guys consider if there is any place you want to go?" Just when everyone was once again grateful for their rebirth and the hot meal, Lu Weiyi suddenly spoke.
"So sudden..." Wu Yue didn't even know what he was thinking. He immediately looked at Zhuang Mingxu and saw that he looked calm, so he thought he had known about it for a long time. Then he looked at the others, Anthony, Odian, and Li Zhuang, who didn't seem surprised at all. "You all... know?"
Antonio spread his hands and shook his head. It was just that Lu Weiyi had mentioned it a few times before.
The others smiled but didn't say anything. They looked at the person they depended on next to each other, trying to see what the other person meant.
"You... um... isn't it better for us to wait for this place to be rebuilt?" Xu Sa didn't really want to go back to Kyoto, as it carried his not-so-good past and memories.
"The flood can submerge the entire base, which proves that this place must be low-lying. There is a problem with the site selection of the base. The weather in the apocalypse is unstable. No one knows if there will be a next time after we get through this time. We were lucky this time, but we may not be lucky next time." Everyone present were companions who had been through life and death together. Lu Weiyi was rarely patient. After he finished speaking, Zhuang Aiyi in his arms moved, and he immediately patted him gently.
Zhuang Mingxu, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand to take the person over, but was pushed away by Lu Weiyi, who then took out a few mutant peaches and gave them to him, and threw a few to others.
"...Is there no other choice?" Xu Sa lowered his eyes, and his emotion could not be seen.
"Zhuang Mingxu's legs are shrinking. We need to find a healing psychic to treat him as soon as possible. We can only try our luck in Kyoto," Lu Weiyi said, and then he thought of the things Xu Sa didn't want to face, and said, "You can choose where you want to go. If you want to leave, I will give you some supplies and crystal cores to ensure that you will not be troubled by life in the short term."
Zhuang Mingxu was surprised. Lu Weiyi was busy every day and spent most of his time resting after returning to the base. He would spend a small amount of time playing with Zhuang Aiyi. Although they slept in the same bed, they had almost no time to communicate. He didn't expect that he even knew that his legs were shrinking.
