Chapter 356 Earthquake and Aftershocks
Chu An raised her eyebrows. She had just played a movie on the way here out of boredom, but she didn't expect to be discovered. However, she never wanted to hide it, but there was no need to say it actively.
"I've bought electronic materials from your online store before."
"Chu Da Diao?".
"Um."
"Oh my god, it's you." Dabao jumped up from his seat, beaming with joy. "What kind of fate is this? At the time, I was wondering who would be so bored and spend money to download so many e-books and TV dramas."
Chu An gave a polite smile.
Dabao quickly changed his words, "I'm not bored, haha, I'm not bored, I just think it's weird."
Chu An, "Wasn't there a post about the end of the world that was popular on the Internet at that time? I always read articles about the end of the world, so I wanted to prepare some."
She didn't expect that the post she made would be such a good excuse. It was the right thing to do. This might be what people often say: a fool has good fortune. If she hadn't made the post out of kindness, she might have been suspected by many people.
At this time, Gu Ye ran to the RV and asked them to go out for dinner. Dabao was still a little bit unbelievable, and asked Chu An for confirmation while walking.
When they arrived at the camp, he was pulled away by Ji Xiaolu.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ye asked softly in Chu An's ear, "The way he looks at you is not right."
Chu An smiled faintly and recounted the story of their relationship.
"He didn't doubt you?"
"No, I used the doomsday posts on the Internet as an excuse."
"That post is really useful. I often use it to educate others now." Gu Ye looked at Chu An in surprise, "That post couldn't be..."
Chu An smiled but said nothing.
Li Qing urged the two to hurry up and start eating, as the meat would be gone soon.
The two of them each took a large teacup. As there were not enough bowls, they did not go back to the car to get some since they could not eat much anyway.
More than 20 people gathered around the two fires, not afraid of the heat. They just filled their bowls and squatted to eat, and Da Piaoliang would occasionally use a spoon to add more food for them.
The lamb with red oil dipped in sesame sauce is so satisfying. Another bite of pork belly wrapped with green onions is so fragrant that it makes your nose bubble. It is worth living.
I don't know who sighed and said, it would be nice to have beer.
Chu An really didn't expect this, mainly because neither she nor Gu Ye drank.
"We have beer, but you can't drink too much. We have to travel tomorrow." Chu An asked Gu Ye to move a box, one bottle per person, and drink in moderation.
Eating hotpot and barbecue is already a luxury, and there is also beer to drink. People who hear it feel like their ears are broken and they are hallucinating.
It wasn't until Gu Ye placed the beer at their feet that they came to their senses. It was ice-cold beer. This was like a god's life.
Everyone who came to get wine would say something auspicious to Chu An, ranging from "Sister An is mighty" and "Sister An is the most beautiful" to "I hope you get married soon and have a baby soon", and the words became more and more outrageous.
The laughter and joyful chatter here sounded like piercing noise to the other two tents. Yue Qianshan had already gone back to his tent to sleep, but now he tossed and turned, wishing he could rush out and fight.
Lucy and Li Fu were sitting outside, their teeth chattering as well.
"What's the big deal? It's just hot pot and beer. I can have it when I get back to the base."
"Don't be sour. You have to be patient." Li Fu rubbed his hands, not showing any emotion on his face, but he was extremely angry in his heart. "Let them have fun for a while. When we get to the sea..."
Xia Yaoyin in the middle was a little greedy, but because of her status, she pretended to be fine, "I really can't get used to this kind of heavy taste. I still prefer Western food. Hey, is their meat fresh? Don't get an upset stomach and delay your trip."
Huang Jue swallowed his saliva continuously, "It looks like dead meat. I don't know where it was obtained from. The hot pot base doesn't taste authentic. I know a master who has inherited his family's spices. His craftsmanship is unparalleled. I will introduce him to President Xia when we return to the base."
Xia Yaoyin stretched lazily and said, "Okay, I'm tired. I'll go back and rest first."
Huang Jue followed him into the tent. The smell was so tempting.
In addition to the master, the other subordinates also felt bad, and many of them pretended to pass by and take a look.
There was a brave one who, seeing his boss going back to the tent to rest, came over with a bowl, just wanting a bowl of hot pot soup.
"No meat, just soup. I haven't eaten spicy food for more than a year." After saying that, he took out a sweet potato from his arms and said, "Can I exchange it for it? I don't have anything else."
Li Qing looked at him and thought he was Xia Yaoyin's man, but he was the one who did physical work.
Xia Yaoyin brought a total of 30 people, 10 young and strong men in field combat uniforms and 20 coolies doing manual labor. Nine coolies died in the mudslide, leaving 11.
The one who came to ask for the things was one of their leaders, who was probably in his 40s, at least 1.8 meters tall and in good health.
Although Li Qing didn't like Xia Yaoyin, he had no grudge against these subordinates, and this man knew how to exchange things, so he served him a bowl.
The man went back with a smile on his face, regardless of the heat. After it cooled for a while, he gave each of the five people he brought a sip, and everyone drank it.
Another captain saw this and came over with a bowl to exchange. He didn't have sweet potatoes and wanted to use the wedding ring on his hand. Li Qing refused. This kind of thing sometimes represents a person's entire wish.
"My wife ran off with someone a long time ago. I just didn't take it off because I'm used to it. This kind of thing is worthless now. I don't want to take it for nothing. You guys keep it."
Li Qing did not refuse anymore. In the last days, trading materials can last for a long time, while giving them away for free will easily attract people's attention.
Li Fu's people also wanted to come and make the exchange, but their master just sat outside and refused to go back.
Liu Zishuo kicked the person next to him fiercely, "Fuck, your f*cking eyes are about to fall out. If you want to go over there, then tell the boss and leave the team."
The boy who was kicked was a young man in his twenties. He held his waist for a long time and couldn't get up. Others couldn't bear it and helped him up. The boy's face was pale and his legs were shaking a little, but no one dared to say anything.
When the child was helped into the tent by other teammates, he secretly wiped away his tears.
Li Qing saw all this, clenched his fist, and then took a big gulp of beer. There were too many injustices in the end times, and he couldn't handle it all.
He Xun and the others kept making noise until ten o'clock in the evening. In order not to affect their journey the next day, Li Qing urged them to help Aunt Han clean up quickly and go to bed after that.
Da Piaoliang didn't let me throw away the bottom of the pot, so I used it to cook noodles tomorrow morning.
Chu An and Gu Ye did not sleep in the tent prepared by Li Qing, so Li Qing and Jinli slept on the sofa in the living room of the RV. Li Qing refused to go, because as the boss, he had to share the joys and sorrows with his brothers. He asked Da Piaoliang and Da Bao to get in the car, but they refused to go either, so in the end, only Chu An and Gu Ye slept in the RV.
The time is not right here yet, and Chu An cannot give them more help. He will have to wait until he gets to Xiwan.
"Xiao An, I'm very happy today." Gu Ye sighed while lying on the bed, "I was also happy on New Year's Day. When do you think the natural disaster will be over? We will all settle down in one city, and I will hold parties at home every day."
In her previous life, she didn't live to see the end of the world, so she had no way to answer him. But she still had hope, so she casually said, "Ten years, when you're 24, the natural disaster will be over."
"Really?" Big Dog suddenly became excited, "Then I'm still young, I can still go to college."
"Um."
“I can still continue painting.”
"Um."
"I can still..."
"Go to sleep." Chu An turned off the light, "Stop talking."
The big dog shrank back into the bed, and Cheng Liang's eyes slowly turned into crescents, hoping that day would come soon.
Chu An entered the space while asleep, finished his test paper and went to pick strawberries, when he suddenly felt the ground shaking a little and woke up. Gu Ye also sat up suddenly, the car was shaking, and the items in the car fell to the ground one after another.
aftershock.
Someone outside shouted, "Everyone come out, the aftershock is coming."
"Kneel in a safe area, put your hands on your head, and put your elbows on the ground. Don't just lie down."
