Chapter 346 Earthquake. Another New Year's Day
Chu An's mind moved, and the four men fell to the ground, but the giant horse was not put down.
Gu Ye didn't slow down, but pushed the giant horse away and galloped all the way until the shadow of the town became blurred, then he slowly slowed down.
Chu An touched his shattered butt and sighed that the Hummer was really durable.
The two drove about five kilometers and found a relatively flat place to stop. From here, they could see a river a hundred meters away and a mountain further away, a mixture of yellow and green, half withered and half alive.
Chu An didn't want to live in a tent, so he just took out the RV. It would be comfortable to live in, and he could drive away quickly if there was any danger.
Gu Ye sprinkled insect repellent powder around the car, set four animal traps, checked three times, and made sure there was no danger around before getting in the car.
Chu An was studying the map to see if there were any other routes that bypassed Tianchi Town.
Gu Ye didn't disturb her. He just used the rice to make porridge and fried an egg and persimmon.
When Chu An was eating, he asked how he knew there was an ambush?
Chu An blinked and asked him if he was hungry and needed to eat.
"I'm not hungry, what's wrong? Does the pit have anything to do with whether I'm hungry or not?"
Chu An cleared his throat and put down his chopsticks. "There are at least hundreds of corpses in that deep pit, two wild dogs, many rats, cockroaches and... white maggots."
Gu Ye pursed his lips and suddenly felt a little disgusted when looking at the porridge in the bowl.
"They didn't all die from extreme heat and earthquake. Some were killed by others. Their hands and feet were tied and daggers were stuck in their chests." Chu An picked up the chopsticks again and scooped a big mouthful of porridge into his mouth.
"Some of them still have breath left."
Gu Ye took a deep breath. Such a person would not survive even if he was saved.
"So I suspect that the town has been occupied by someone. They are in need of supplies right now, so there is no way they will let us go."
Gu Ye was silent for a while, then went to quietly pack up the things he had taken off the Hummer.
Chu An smiled, the big dog was so cute.
"I want to invite Grandma Xia and the others to come out for dinner tonight. Let's cook a few more dishes."
The big dog's eyes lit up instantly, and he ran over happily, "Really?"
"Um."
"Then will Brother Shen and the others come out too?"
"They all shouted."
"good."
Gu Ye was a person who liked to be lively. He was so happy to see Grandpa Gao and Grandma Xia that his eyes sparkled with stars.
Chu An was happy to see him happy, and she was also very happy. After her mental strength was improved, the time Shen Xun and the others could come out increased to 22 minutes, which was still enough for a simple meal.
In fact, it is not just to make Big Dog happy. Today is New Year's Day, January 1, 2052, and it has been exactly one and a half years since the natural disaster.
"Xiao An, for seven people, we must cook at least ten dishes."
"Let me get some ready-made ones. You can cook for seven people and stir-fry two dishes."
It is inconvenient to cook in the car and it is not easy to clean up.
She used her mental power to connect the space and told this matter, and immediately got a response. Shen Xun even said he wanted to show off his skills, and then brought out a fully automatic cooking pot.
I made two dishes, a farmhouse pot stew and steamed silver cod, which completely broke the machine.
"Other people mainly cook, but you are stewing in this big pot..." Wang Ce explained helplessly while repairing the pot.
"Are you blaming me?" Shen Xun was also unhappy, "That's not what the instructions say. It says that it can cook all kinds of food."
Wang Ce smiled and coaxed: "I mean, how can this pot only be used for cooking? Isn't this deceiving consumers?"
Shen Xun curled his lips, threw down the spatula, and stopped doing it.
Grandma Xia was grinning from ear to ear, and Grandpa Gao gave Wang Ce a thumbs up. The young man's brain was quick, but not as fast as when he was young. He had never made his wife angry.
"Be good, go sit over there and leave the rest of the dishes to me."
"You can cook, but you can have stomach problems?" Shen Xun frowned.
"Oh, that's because I'm busy. Doctors are on call at any time."
Wang Ce had almost forgotten the days when he got drunk with his photo in hand.
"Okay." Shen Xun rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help him.
Wang Ce stopped repairing cooking pots and became a chef. However, he only knows how to fry steak, roast turkey, make a pasta dish, and at most mix a salad.
He didn't dare to say it, and directly ordered a roast turkey. Shen Xun said that he would not eat chicken on New Year's Day, but roasted suckling pig instead, using fruit wood.
Wang Ce received the order and immediately executed it. He knew a little bit about roasting suckling pig. He picked the smallest one, cleaned it clean, split it from the inner cavity, cut off the third and fourth ribs, took out all the ribs and the fan bones on both sides of this part, and inserted the steel fork.
Shen Xun helped to apply the spices, but Wang Ce said that he didn't apply it evenly, which pissed him off again.
"I'll teach you."
He walked behind Shen Xun, held him against his chest, and used his hand to repaint.
“You have to take your time and evenly rub the inner cavity so that the marinade can absorb the flavor.
"Yeah." Shen Xun let him hold his hand, and his frizzy hair was smoothed down by someone's face, and then pressed against his.
It took the two of them three hours just to do the preliminary preparations.
In order to show that he can cook, Wang Ce secretly followed the video and made a black truffle ham salad, lobster omelette, and emerald abalone slices.
Grandma Xia and the others were not idle either. She said that they couldn't just eat Western food, so she made a dish of stir-fried rape with mushrooms. Grandpa Gao made a sea cucumber soup, and Guo Changren was not to be outdone and made a four-happiness meatball.
With the eight dishes in the space, Gu Ye felt much more relaxed. He steamed a sea bass and fried eggplant boxes.
Seeing that everyone was already eating, Chu An could only mix a bitter melon and asparagus for his own good intentions. As a result, Wang Ce laughed at him. Who eats bitter melon during the Chinese New Year?
She picked out all the bitter gourds and replaced them with cabbage, which can nourish wealth and also detoxify.
Shen Xun’s big pot of stew and cod were not wasted either, as long as they were cooked, it was fine, and in the end there were twelve dishes in total.
There are all kinds of drinks and beverages, please help yourself.
Wang Ce and Guo Changren accompanied Grandpa Gao to drink Maotai, Shen Xun and Grandma Xia drank red wine, and Chu An and Gu Ye were required to drink only fruit juice.
Although it was only twenty-two minutes, everyone was very happy.
At seven o'clock, when it was time for dinner, Chen Xun looked at the scenery outside the window in the sunset. Half of the mountain was green, and half of the stream was clear. There were broken shadows of mountains and rivers, as well as abundant vitality.
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Ce put his arm around his shoulders, but this time his hand was not quickly slapped away.
"I think about so many things that my brain goes blank and I can only see mountains as mountains and water as water."
"Very good. I like the real things, green mountains and white water. I don't need any fancy words. Blessings from the heart are enough."
Grandma Xia smiled and said, "Yes, words are always pale, and feelings are the most important."
Mr. Guo and Mr. Gao looked out the window at the same time. This familiar yet strange world brought them laughter and pain, but no matter what, they longed for it and missed it.
Chu An had been suffering for ten days and had started to eat more. Seeing that her bowl was empty, Gu Ye gave her the serving chopsticks to pick up food.
The people in this space can survive without eating, so they are not very obsessed with food. The five of them spend more time chatting and watching the outside world.
In the last few minutes, they walked out of the RV and walked along the stream in twos and threes.
Chu An and Gu Ye were also full and were leaning against the window watching them.
Gu Ye sighed, "They seem to like this world more, even though it is already in ruins."
Chu An nodded, "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse."
Gu Ye, "......"
The two of them didn't clean up the dishes until the figures outside disappeared. They had a very satisfying New Year's Day and slept until dawn.
