Chapter 8 Earthquake
After throwing a bag of bricks, it had no effect except for adding two bloody holes on the top of the opponent's head. The man continued to roar and smash the gate.
Zhao Yeqing's arms felt a little weak, so she climbed down and thought about looking for something else. If that didn't work, she would climb the ladder and smash the wall from the top.
The infected person who was kicking and smashing wildly suddenly kicked the wire mesh that dented the door, revealing a one-centimeter gap under the deformed wire mesh. The infected person seemed to have found a breakthrough and kicked the wire mesh in the door frantically.
Zhao Yeqing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went downstairs and back to the yard with his spear. At this time, half of the barbed wire had been kicked open, and the infected person was lying on the ground with his arms squeezed in.
She raised the spear, took a few deep breaths, and then made up her mind to stab the arm hard!
The infected person with reduced pain perception had no idea that his arm had been pierced. Zhao Yeqing pulled out the spear and blood gushed out. This time she found the tendons in the wrist and stabbed it in fiercely.
The arm that was stretched in had its tendons severed by the puncture and was no longer able to exert any strength. The infected person had lost all reason and was only trying to squeeze his body in. The ground beneath him had been squeezed into a small pit, and he used this small pit to get half of his shoulder stuck in. Now he could neither go in nor out.
Zhao Yeqing's eyes changed slightly, and she kept repeating in her trembling slightly open mouth that she must not hesitate, she must not hesitate. She now had a chance, to open a crack in the door and pierce his heart with a spear, then she would be safe. In addition to the lock, the door also had an anti-theft chain, which was her last line of defense. Even if she didn't hit the door with one strike, the door would not be opened at once, and she still had a glimmer of hope.
At my feet was a crooked wire mesh, with only half of it hanging on the door. I estimated that in a few minutes, the remaining half would be kicked down.
Zhao Yeqing gritted his teeth, confirmed that the security chain was hung, and opened the door. Facing the infected person lying under the gap in the door was the infected person.
He was lying on the ground and didn't notice that the door was open. Zhao Yeqing looked at the infected person who was close at hand, gritted his teeth, raised the spear and stabbed it into his heart.
She could clearly feel the tip of the knife piercing through the skin and entering the flesh. At this moment, she seemed to have been unable to hear the last roar of the infected person. Her ears seemed to be blocked by cotton. A numbness rushed to the top of her head. Her mind was blank. When she pulled out the knife, her eyes were filled with scarlet.
The body on the ground was no longer moving, and she seemed to be fixed in place.
After a while, she poked the corpse on the ground with her spear, making sure there was no movement. She closed and locked the door, threw away the blood-stained spear, and walked back to the door of her house in a daze and sat on the ground.
He took out his cell phone and called Kong Sisi.
"What's wrong my little baby?"
Kong Sisi's sarcastic voice came from the other side, and the noisy background was the sound of a variety show.
Zhao Yeqing's panicked heart was miraculously calmed down, and he smacked his lips and said, "I killed someone."
"...Infected?"
Zhao Yeqing was speechless: "What about that?"
"Oh my gosh! Warrior, sister!"
As expected of her, I knew this would be the reaction.
Zhao Yeqing didn't want to care about the body at the door at all today. He went back to the room to take a shower while talking on the phone. Kong Sisi kept chattering about the news and recent events near her home. Until Zhao Yeqing finished his shower, dried his hair and lay on the bed, she was still talking across from him without stopping for a moment.
Zhao Yeqing lay on the bed listening and replying from time to time until she fell asleep. The call was then slowly lowered and the call was not hung up until the next morning.
It was already past nine when I woke up. It was an unexpectedly dreamless night.
Zhao Yeqing poured a cup of hot water and stood on the terrace, enjoying the mountain breeze to refresh himself.
In the direction of the town, a column of black smoke could be seen rising into the sky from afar.
The news says that the bodies of infected people are now being burned and cleared away all over the world.
After drinking the water, Zhao Yeqing went downstairs, picked up a hoe, opened the door, put on gloves and dragged the body to the road. Apart from the open space that could be burned on her homestead, there was only this road. Burning the body definitely could not be done in front of one's own home.
When I walked to the intersection, I found that the trap had been destroyed. There was a shriveled body of an infected person inside, wearing the same clothes. The two might be colleagues, and the shriveled one must have been infected first.
Fortunately, the highway was a dirt road. Zhao Yeqing dug a hole on the side of the road and threw the two bodies in. He poured oil on it and lit a fire. He stood far away and waited for the bodies to burn before covering them with dirt.
When I got home, I dug out the blood-stained soil at the door and filled it with clean soil. I connected the faucet to a hose and cleaned the gate several times, then sprayed disinfectant inside and out.
She put her hands into the bubbly water and rubbed them vigorously until her hands felt stinging, then she stopped and poured out the water.
After settling down for a whole night, she was a little surprised at her own adaptability. When she saw the pork belly that had been thawed yesterday, she suppressed the sticky feeling in her throat and hesitated to pick it up, but decided to put it in the refrigerator.
Sorry for disturbing you. I’ll eat it tomorrow.
Let’s eat some vegetarian food today.
Take out the leafy vegetables that cannot be stored in the refrigerator and wash them. The water is a bit turbid today. Zhao Yeqing turned on the faucet, but it didn't become clear after a while. He could only use the water from the reservoir to wash the vegetables.
A row of ants were moving their homes neatly along the wall of the house. She carefully avoided them when pouring out the washing water.
A bowl of clear soup noodles with blanched vegetables was quickly finished, accompanied by the cries of swallows flying low outside the window eating insects.
All signs indicated that it was going to rain, so Zhao Yeqing took out the universal plastic sheeting again. The plastic sheeting that had been covering the fence before would easily collapse due to water accumulation when it rained. The seedlings were still too small, and it would be easy to break them if they were spread directly on the fence. She planned to build a simple greenhouse to protect the small vegetable garden.
I rode my bike to the old place and cut some bamboos. This time I chose bamboos that were about three or four years old and had better toughness. I split the bamboo into long strips and then moved out the small coal stove that I used before from the tool shed.
Put some small firewood in the coal stove, put dry leaves in the middle, light an oily paper towel and stuff it in. After a while, the firewood will be ignited, and the bamboo sticks will be slowly heated on the fire. The heated bamboo sticks are easy to bend and plastic, and not easy to break.
Bend the long bamboo strips into an arch shape, with a height that allows her to walk in by slightly lowering her head. Insert the bent bamboo strips into the soil of the small vegetable garden, cover them with plastic film, and secure them with an air nail gun.
There are many rainy seasons in the mountains, so the arched greenhouse will not accumulate water, but it will allow water to flow around. Zhao Yeqing opened a small ditch along the edge of the greenhouse, leading directly to the outside of the fence, trying to make the inside higher and the outside lower for easy drainage.
After checking to make sure everything is safe, you won’t have to worry about heavy rain.
But she waited until after three in the afternoon, and there were few dark clouds in the sky. Two silly geese in the yard stretched their necks and called "yue wu yue wu".
Zhao Yeqing found it a little funny and felt relaxed for the first time in the past few days. She handed the leaves she had picked from washing vegetables today to their mouths, intending to shut them up.
"Whose goose sounds like this? It sounds like it's about to vomit."
The two silly geese looked at the vegetables, wanted to lower their heads to eat them, but they didn't know why they were hesitating. In the end, they chose to raise their heads and continue calling.
Zhao Yeqing simply had no idea what to do with this.
Just when she was about to have a good chat with the two silly geese, the ground suddenly shook violently. Zhao Yeqing felt as if something was squeezing the ground under her feet. Her body shook uncontrollably. An object slipped in front of her eyes, and she stepped back in shock. It was a tile on the roof that fell to the ground and broke into pieces. She looked back and saw that the big tree on the back hill was pushed out of its roots underground and fell to the ground with a loud noise. The soil it brought out rolled outside the courtyard wall. She quickly stood up and was ready to move away from the house. Before she could react...
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
She was so shocked that she fell to the ground, barely able to keep her balance...
