Chapter 10 Qin Weibal Meets
When Qin Wei was looking at the house before, he found that there was no dining table, only a large coffee table in the living room. After cooking, he brought the food to the coffee table in the living room, and then prepared to knock on the door to call Ye Xun to get up and eat.
As a result, he happened to see Ye Xun coming out of the bedroom, and the tall vicious dog standing beside him. The look in his eyes revealed a fierce light, waiting for the master's order, and then he would pounce on and tear the stranger who broke into the house into pieces.
Qin Wei, who was about to move forward, stopped and showed the vicious dog that he had no ill intentions. He stood about two meters away and asked Ye Xun to come and eat. "I don't know Mr. Ye's hobbies, so I just made a few dishes. The ingredients were just delivered from the takeout." He was worried that the other party would mind him using the things in the refrigerator, so he explained it in detail.
Ye Xun naturally wouldn't care, as there would be a portion for Qin Wei among the supplies he prepared. He reached out and stroked the dog's head to calm the dog down from its attempt to attack.
"I'm not picky about food. I can use any food in the refrigerator. I can't finish it all by myself." After saying that he didn't mind, he introduced the dog to Qin Wei, "This is Bal. It's quite alert, but it won't attack people. It will get familiar with you after spending some time with you."
"Is it a Central Asian Shepherd Dog? It looks young, but has a great physique and is very strong. You have raised it very well." Few people raise this breed. Qin Wei could recognize it because a friend of his also raised one, but its size was not as big as Ye Xun's. Its teeth were not sharp enough, indicating that it was still in the development stage, but it already had a size comparable to a mature dog. It must be a killer when it grows up.
"Yes, he's about six months old now, still a little boy. Bal, this is Uncle Qin, he's going to live with us in the future, go get to know him."
Ye Xun wanted Bal and Qin Wei to have more contact, so he pointed in the direction of Qin Wei and motioned Bal to come over.
Bal understood the command, retracted his sharp teeth, and walked obediently towards Qin Wei, with his tail hanging to the ground, still remaining alert.
When Bal approached, Qin Wei stretched out his hand so that he could smell the scent.
First, a hot and moist breath sprayed on his hand, and then a slippery touch came from the palm of his hand. It was a tongue. After Bal licked it, he remembered the smell in his mind.
This is the owner's friend and should not be bitten.
The tail, which was originally hanging down, began to shake slightly, which showed that it was in a good mood and the alarm was lifted.
Bal's IQ is like that of a ten-year-old child. The difference is that he is not as naughty as children of this age. His race determines his tameness and loyalty.
In this way, Qin Wei and Bal got to know each other.
The aroma coming from the living room has been tempting Ye Xun. His hungry stomach has shrunk due to hunger, and now he just wants to have a full meal as soon as possible.
The two men and the dog walked into the living room, where they saw four dishes and a soup on the solid wood coffee table, all still steaming.
Ye Xun rushed over in two steps and pressed a switch under the coffee table. The table top began to rise slowly, and in half a minute, it rose to the height of a normal dining table.
Some of human inventions are nonsensical but practical. Ye Xun likes this coffee table very much and has five of them in his space.
He signaled to Qin Wei who was standing beside him with his eyes, telling him to stop standing there like an idiot and to eat.
Ye Xun has always regarded a sip of soup before a meal as the truth. The hot and fresh soup slides down the esophagus into the stomach, which is very appetizing. What's more, there are many chefs who are really skilled, and the door of a restaurant will be trampled upon.
The rice is new northern rice. I don’t know how Qin Wei mastered the ratio of water to rice. The cooked rice is distinct grains and has just the right dryness and wetness.
The dishes on the table were mostly meat dishes, and the only vegetarian dish was stir-fried meat, which clearly revealed the dietary preferences of the cook.
Qin Wei also took a seat and served himself a full bowl of rice. While Ye Xun was picking up some dishes, he secretly watched him eat. He ate very quickly, but his eating manners were not bad.
The two of them were silent, just concentrating on eating. Finally, Ye Xun couldn't eat any more, so he put down his bowl, and the rest was eaten by Qin Wei alone.
After dinner, Qin Wei tacitly took on the task of cleaning up. There was a dishwasher in the kitchen, and he could put the dishes with leftovers in it and it would clean up automatically.
After the shaved beef leg bones were stewed in the pressure cooker for a while, Qin Wei took them out, let them cool down, and then gave them to Bal to eat, which further narrowed the distance between the man and the dog.
It was still dark early in April, and it was already pitch black outside the window. A drizzle began to fall from the sky, and if Ye Xun hadn't had good eyesight, it would have been difficult to see.
After dinner, Ye Xun did not go back to the bedroom immediately, but sat on the sofa bed in the living room, with a disaster movie playing on the TV on the wall.
For some reason, his heartbeat suddenly became frantic, as if something bad was about to happen. This feeling made it difficult for him to calm down, so he could only turn on his computer and keep transferring movies and TV shows to the USB drive to divert his attention.
Just at this moment, the seat next to him tilted downward and Qin Wei sat down.
Qin Wei held two cans of Coca-Cola in his hands. The cans looked like two small toys in his palms. One of the cans was placed in front of Ye Xun and had been opened attentively.
"I just bought two bottles, here you go." Qin Wei said.
Ye Xun did not refuse, he picked up the Coke and took a big gulp, because the fat otaku's happy water is more exciting when you drink it in big gulps!
Perhaps the sweet soda soothed his irritability, and he began to talk to Qin Wei in a random manner.
“You believe the world will end.”
“I believe that the end of the world may come in any form, but it will definitely not be the zombies in the movies.”
Ye Xun was curious, "Why not?"
Qin Wei explained: "Because zombies are something that cannot be explained by science. I am a materialist, just like I don't believe that people will have souls after they die."
Ye Xun thought, maybe, three months ago, he was also so determined to be a materialist, but the emergence of space rebuilt his worldview, including the current rain.
The rain is slowly getting heavier, from barely visible raindrops to short lines that can be seen through the air. These rain lines are very dense and are falling faster than usual.
The expectations deep in my heart may have really become reality, and the end of the world has come early.
Ye Xun stood up from the sofa, walked into the bedroom, and took out the satellite phone from the drawer of the bedside table.
As soon as Ye's father landed, he took a taxi to Chencun. For some reason, the convective activity on this route was particularly active, causing the plane to be bumpy for two-thirds of the journey, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep.
When he arrived at Chen Cun's villa, he no longer had the energy to talk to Ye's mother. He just fell asleep and ate when he woke up.
When the old couple received Ye Xun's call, they had just finished their meal and wanted to go outside for a walk to digest their food.
Before the door opened, the phone rang.
"A Xun, why are you calling at this time?" Ye's father answered the phone and asked in a loud voice.
"I want to confirm whether you have arrived safely," Ye Xun said, and then asked what he wanted to know, "What is the weather like in Chencun now?"
Father Ye opened the curtains and looked outside, and could see the splashes of water caused by raindrops falling on the ground.
"It suddenly started raining. Half an hour ago, the weather forecast said it would be sunny for the next week." Ye's father confirmed that the sky was cloudless and clear today. How could it change so suddenly?
"Dad, listen to me first. Close all the doors and windows of the house, open the anti-theft windows and blackout curtains. The power grid will be connected in a week. The most important thing is that no one dies, so drive it at maximum power. Don't be stingy with the diesel. If anyone asks you for food, or wants to stay at your house, refuse them all."
People in the last days are all evil. Even relatives can become enemies just for food, let alone neighbors.
Although Ye Xun did not say it explicitly, they have been father and son for more than 20 years. He immediately understood what Ye Xun meant and quickly confirmed: "Ah Xun, when you say this, does it mean that the end of the world has already begun?"
"If I'm not mistaken, yes. It happened almost a week earlier than in the dream. I don't know if the disasters in the future will come true. You and mom must protect yourselves."
Although the things at home were enough for them to protect themselves in the countryside, Ye Xun, as a son, couldn't help but worry.
"Don't worry. Your mother told me about the knives and guns you left behind. As for you and Xiaoyu, there are many people in the city, and you two are thinner than each other. You should be more restrained and don't reveal that you have supplies at home."
Ye's father didn't want to think that people were so bad, but during the famine in the last century, people were eating their own children and cannibalism was common. At that time, people were still simple and honest, and they were forced into a corner and had no choice, but people in this era are bad from the root. During the years of doing business, he traveled all over the country and met all kinds of people, and he was even more pessimistic about human nature.
Father Ye was old and would soon retire, but the end of the world came before retirement. Most of his life had passed, and he still had to worry about the younger generation.
To reassure him, Ye Xun told him about Qin Wei, "I definitely can't beat Xiao Yu in a fight, but I found a thug, so I can just keep him."
"Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into your house?"
Who wouldn’t be tempted by the supplies at home?
"Of course I have thought about this. I think people like them should know best how to have enough food every day. Besides, I have a gun. If he really wants to kill people and steal supplies, I can do it when he is least prepared."
His son had his own plans and knew that he couldn't change his decision, so Ye's father didn't argue about it. He just told him to be more careful before hanging up the phone.
After the father and son hung up the phone, Ye Xun left the bedroom and returned to the living room to continue directing film and television resources.
Qin Wei was watching a movie with great interest, while Bal was chewing a cow bone not far from him. The scene was more harmonious than ever before.
"Are you talking to your family?" Qin Wei asked.
The phone call was not a secret, Ye Xun nodded in acknowledgement.
Qin Wei pointed at the flood scene in the movie and asked, "Is this the end of the world you just described?"
Ye Xun: "Maybe, it could be even scarier than this."
His tone seemed to indicate he knew something.
Qin Wei continued, "Is it more terrifying than this? How can humans survive?"
How to survive? Ye Xun didn't know. Humans are weak, and a natural disaster can cause countless casualties. But humans are also strong, overcoming one virus after another, and still survive to this day.
"Nature has its own way of living. Let's take it one step at a time."
