Chapter 16 Deathly Silence
After buying two baskets of eggs and duck eggs, about 500 in total, and selecting 20 chickens and ducks each, Luo Xiaran was satisfied and asked someone to help deliver the things home.
Because every household grows vegetables, fruits and the like, even in less than an hour, Luo Xiaran's harvest is much richer than in the market. After all, when she is in the market, she still needs to be careful of those who follow her arranged by Wu Yanan.
Back at the old house, Chu Xinrui has already made corn cakes with all the cornmeal stored at home, and is now steaming steamed buns and flower rolls. After saying hello to Chu Xinrui, Luo Xiaran took Cui Jiu's fishing rod and bait from the sundries room and walked to the river.
The unpolluted river was clean and clear, and fish occasionally swam happily wherever she looked. After finding a shady place under the trees, she put down her pony and bucket, and began to bait and cast her rod skillfully, quietly waiting for the fish to bite.
Perhaps because she knew that such a leisurely day would only last a few days, Luo Xiaran did not stare at the fishing rod too much, but instead looked at the lush environment around her, her mind was calm.
As early as after traveling to ancient times, Luo Xiaran learned to go with the flow, even though the end of the world was indeed very scary, but now she had her parents' company, and she would no longer be as anxious as she was last time.
The fishing time passed quickly. The sun shifted a little bit. The fishing line was tightened again, and a carp weighing more than one pound went into the bucket smoothly. At this time, there were already six or seven big fish in the bucket. After thinking about it, Luo Xiaran stopped fishing and turned his attention to the surrounding land, thinking of picking some wild vegetables to store.
In ancient times, there were no vegetables such as tomatoes. In addition to potatoes, radishes, and sweet potatoes, the most eaten were wild vegetables in the farmland. Luo Xiaran would eat them occasionally. Although she couldn't say she liked them, they could save her life in the end times.
Motherwort, broom grass, sawgrass, shepherd's purse... Because the water source is abundant and the land is fertile, all kinds of wild vegetables grow not far from the river, and they are very fresh.
"Baby, what are you doing?" Luo Zhaoxian's voice came from not far away. Luo Xiaran turned around and saw Luo Zhaoxian holding the small bucket she brought.
"Dad, I'm picking wild vegetables. How come you're back so soon?" Luo Xiaran walked to Luo Zhaoxian in surprise, took the tissue and wiped her fingers covered with green juice and dirt.
"It just so happened that my friend had a batch of goods, but my dad intercepted them. Okay, go back, and let mom stew fish for you tonight." Luo Zhaoxian took the wild vegetables from Luo Xiaran, and the father and daughter walked towards the old house step by step.
At this time, a small truck was parked in the yard of the old house, and the warehouse door was locked. Cui Jiu stood guard at the gate of the yard with an expressionless face, just like usual.
After delivering the bucket to the kitchen, Luo Zhaoxian and Luo Xiaran entered the study: "The car is loaded with daily necessities, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. Solar energy is already well prepared. Military supplies and fuel have also been delivered to the designated location. I have given holidays to those who followed me. Is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"
Hearing this, Luo Xiaran admired Luo Zhaoxian even more. In just one night, even though Luo Xiaran had not explained in detail what was needed in the end of the world, Luo Zhaoxian had already made all the preparations. He was really a very reassuring existence! But
before Luo Xiaran could speak, the earth was suddenly shrouded in darkness, and the sky seemed to have disappeared, and it was pitch black. The roar was deafening, and the whole earth was shaking. A beam of light descended from the sky, spread out in the darkness, and invaded the earth.
Luo Xiaran wanted to raise her legs and walk towards Luo Zhaoxian, but she ended up falling to the ground in the darkness.
In an instant, the whole world fell into a dead silence...
