Chapter 122 The Nearest Human Base
"Five barrels."
"We noticed that you didn't bring much water when you came in, so we guessed that there must be water or ice users among you. We spent a lot of effort to grow these vegetables. If we weren't unable to leave for the time being, we wouldn't be willing to exchange them."
Jiang Rong looked back at Ling Lan when he heard her words. Seeing her nod at him, he replied, "Okay, but you have to provide the bucket or basin yourself."
"Here they are!" A young man with an accent responded, and the group of people outside gave way. Only then did Jiang Rong see what was behind them.
There are five large red bathtubs, stacked together.
Jiang Rong...
Lily of the valley...
Xiao Chu...
"It will take some time. You can come to us tomorrow and we will give you the stuff tomorrow."
"Okay, okay."
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Jiang Rong was quite patient with these normal people.
Like those in the mall before, in Jiang Rong's eyes, they were not normal and lacked human touch. However, she had seen a lot of people like that in her previous life, so she was not surprised.
"We want to ask, is everything the same outside now? Are there so many mutant plants?"
"Um."
Jiang Rong nodded. At least wherever the three of them passed by, everywhere they looked was a paradise of mutant plants.
The old and young people on the opposite side all looked unhappy when they heard this, and their eyes seemed to dim in an instant.
"Thank you. We also want to ask, are there many people out there who can walk in the mutant jungle like you?" The middle-aged man looked a little depressed at the moment. If they couldn't get out, they would probably run out of ammunition and food.
Jiang Rong shook his head.
"Not much. If conditions permit, you should improve your wood-type ability user. This ability can be very useful for those mutant plants outside."
This is all Jiang Rong has to say.
After Jiang Rong said this, those people were not very happy, because they did not have that much time to wait for the two children to grow up. Perhaps before they could lead everyone to escape, they might all have died.
"Thank you. I'll give you these vegetables first. We'll come get water tomorrow morning." The middle-aged man made the decision on his own, but the people around him didn't seem to have any objections. They all seemed to trust him.
After that, the people who were crowded at the door started going upstairs and downstairs one after another. One of them was from the same floor as theirs.
Jiang Rong looked at the middle-aged man walking towards the opposite side, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed.
At this time, the door opposite opened from the inside, and then a head popped out. It was a girl who was younger than her. She whispered something at this time, and then the middle-aged man shook his head.
Jiang Rong looked at the haggard face and finally remembered.
"Third Uncle?" Jiang Rong called tentatively and took off the black mask on his face.
The middle-aged man opposite did not realize at first that Jiang Rong was calling him, until his daughter rushed out excitedly, he turned around in surprise.
Jiang Rong opened his arms slightly and let Jiang Manman hug him tightly. The tension in his heart finally relaxed.
The person opposite was her third uncle Jiang Hua, who had been doing business in other places and seldom went home, but was very filial to her grandmother.
The one holding him was his third uncle's daughter Jiang Manman, who was four years younger than him.
Just graduated from high school before the end of the world.
When they were young, Jiang Manman was very attached to Jiang Rong. Like Jiang Suan, she was a follower and liked to follow Jiang Rong wherever he went.
However, after Jiang Hua divorced his wife, Jiang Manman had less contact with her mother in the following years.
Jiang Rong had been worried before, but now he felt extremely lucky to have met his uncle and the others here.
If she took her third uncle to Beijing, she would find her grandmother when she found her. She would definitely be very happy.
"Cousin, oh my god, it's really my cousin!!!" Jiang Manman pounced like a tiger for a while, jumped off Jiang Rong, and then walked around Jiang Rong in a circle with an incredible look on her face.
"Wow, cousin, I never expected to meet you here. I thought I would never see you and grandma in this life." Jiang Manman said this with tears in her eyes due to excitement.
Jiang Rong took a piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to her.
"Stop crying, little drama queen."
Your child has been smart since he was young, and he is a natural actor. He loves acting and his acting skills are almost as good as those of serious actors. He can control his tears freely and is extremely talented.
"Uncle San, I'm also very happy to see you and Manman here."
Jiang Rong's personality made it so that she wouldn't be as excited as Jiang Manman to rush forward and hug her uncle, but she still expressed her happiness very sincerely.
"I'm happy, Uncle San is happy too." A relieved smile appeared on Jiang Hua's haggard face.
After that, the two families did not reminisce outside. Jiang Rong invited people into the house after obtaining the consent of Linglan and Xiao Chu.
"Have you eaten, Uncle Manman?"
Jiang Rong just asked symbolically, but in fact he had already started preparing to fire again.
Judging from their looks, they must have been hungry for nine meals in three days...
The face frame is sunken and there is no flesh at all.
Fortunately, I am in good spirits.
Jiang Rong rummaged around in the storage room, then took out a handful of noodles, made a simple fire, and boiled the noodles, adding some radishes and mushrooms.
When it comes to cooking skills, Linglan is definitely much better than her, but Jiang Hua is her uncle after all, and she definitely wouldn't want him to do the cooking for her.
We can only let them eat it.
Considering that Uncle San and Manman must not have had a full meal for a long time, Jiang Rongyi cooked half a pack of noodles.
I cooked a full pot and added some dried oysters and meat cut from mutant black-bone chickens to enhance the flavor.
After cooking, it tastes pretty good.
"Uncle San, Manman, you guys eat first. We'll talk after we're full." Jiang Rong poured the noodles into a large basin and took it out.
Linglan and Xiao Chu had already helped to get the dishes and chopsticks.
Jiang Manman was holding a bottle of ice cola in her hand at the moment, and she looked like she was about to cry with happiness.
While they were eating noodles, Jiang Rong made a simple pot of black chicken and radish soup.
You can drink it after you eat a bowl of noodles.
Jiang Rong and the other two watched the father and daughter wolfing down the food in silence.
But Jiang Manman actually started crying while eating, silently shedding tears as she ate.
"Manman, there's enough noodles, just eat it." Jiang Rong thought she was expressing her feelings about the food.
"I miss my mom, wuwuwu, this noodles tastes like the ones my mom cooked." Jiang Manman was really sad this time.
Jiang Rong didn't know how to comfort her after hearing this.
"Shuhua fell seriously ill when she was cold before, and then she passed away." Jiang Hua sighed as he said this.
Although he and his wife have been divorced for many years, neither of them has reunited. The divorce was only because he focused too much on work and neglected his wife and children at home, and his wife couldn't stand it anymore and filed for divorce.
In fact, the feelings are still there.
A few days before the end of the world, he found his ex-wife and daughter, started stockpiling goods, and refused to leave. Finally, the terrible natural disaster really came.
He stayed here until his ex-wife died of illness.
That period was really hard to endure. I felt so cold every day that my whole body felt like an ice stick.
After we finally got through it and the weather was about to get warmer, my ex-wife suddenly caught a cold. The disease came on like a mountain, and no medicine worked. She passed away soon.
Jiang Rong also fell silent after hearing this.
In her impression, Third Aunt was a woman with a good temper. She always smiled at everyone she met. And like her grandmother, she never participated in the village gossip and always did her own thing gently and quietly.
After being sad for a while, Jiang Manman turned her sadness into appetite and ate noodles faster again.
Not only noodles, but also mushrooms, radishes, and meat!!!
Her eyes lit up as she ate.
By the time the two of them finished their bowl of noodles, half an hour had passed.
By this time, the black chicken and radish soup in the kitchen had already been boiling. Jiang Rong put a lot of wood in the coal stove and used a high fire. In addition, the black chicken meat is easy to cook, so it is almost time to serve it out and eat.
For the sake of convenience, Jiang Rong did not take out the bones, so the casserole was now full of black-meat chicken.
One bite at a time, fresh and tasty.
"Eat these too."
Jiang Rong brought the casserole to the table in the living room and opened the lid. It was filled with mutant black-breasted chicken and mutant white radish, with a little oil and red dried chilies floating on the clear soup.
There are few people in J Province who don’t like spicy food, so Jiang Rong didn’t ask and just added a little bit of spicy sauce.
The father and daughter, who were already a little full, touched their stomachs and started eating again after seeing the pot full of black chicken soup.
Jiang Manman drank three bowls of soup in a row before putting down the bowl reluctantly. The soup was so delicious, fresh and fragrant. If she hadn't been so full, she really wouldn't have wanted to stop.
Jiang Hua had a bigger appetite than her daughter Jiang Manman. She not only drank up the remaining soup, but also finished everything in the pot.
"Rongrong, how is your grandma?" The first thing Jiang Hua asked after he had eaten and drunk his fill was about his old mother.
He should have gone home to celebrate his mother's birthday last year, but was delayed for various reasons, and it became difficult for him to go back later.
Jiang Rong's eyes dimmed a little at this, which made Jiang Hua and Jiang Manman feel worried, thinking that something had happened to the old man.
"I don't know either. There was an accident before, and I was separated from grandma Jiang Suan and the others. If nothing unexpected happened, they should have been listed in Beijing now. I also rushed all the way north." Jiang Rong replied.
"But if you want to go to Jingshi, it's a bit off-track to go through Xianfu City."
"I came here to pick up something. That thing is very important to me." Jiang Rong responded.
If it was really as Lingyu said, then she felt that she was invincible, and then she could pack up all the important people and send them into the space.
Then we can negotiate with those orcs without any worries.
She always felt that those guys had bigger ambitions, far more than just capturing Qin Sang and Xuan Ling.
"Uncle San, Manman, do you want to go to Jingshi with us?"
Jiang Rong privately hopes that Jiang Hua and Jiang Manman will go with him, but he still needs to ask them what they think specifically.
"We want to, but there are still many elderly people and children in this building. If we leave, they will be completely finished."
Jiang Hua said with some embarrassment. After he said this, his face felt hot and he felt that being an uncle was a bit unfair.
But he was also telling the truth.
The few families left in the building, the young people had gone out to collect supplies earlier, and most of them were gone. In addition, some families were empty nesters, and their children were not at home from the beginning...
In fact, there were originally many people living in this building, but some left or died, leaving only these elderly people and children with limited mobility.
Whenever Jiang Hua looked at these people, he would think of his 70-year-old mother. Once he felt compassion for them, he could no longer bear to be cruel.
Jiang Rong was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "I can send them to the nearest human base, but I can't help with more."
It is impossible for Jiang Rong to lead such a group of people north, and her jade talisman is still missing.
The best she could do now was to send them to the nearest human base.
"Really?!" Jiang Hua and Jiang Manman's eyes lit up when they heard this.
They felt that it was already a good thing to be able to send the elderly and children to a relatively safe place under such circumstances.
Jiang Rong nodded and asked: "Do you know where the nearest human base is?"
After hearing this, Jiang Hua thought for a moment and pointed in a direction to Jiang Rong.
After seeing this, Jiang Rong thought to himself, what a coincidence.
The instructions that Yu Fu gave her at this moment were exactly in this direction.
