Chapter 36: Family members don’t talk in different languages
But now they have separated, and it will probably be difficult for them to see each other again.
Chen Qingqing lowered her head and pinched her daughter’s face: “Don’t drink anymore, wait three hours before drinking, okay?”
Xiaohuan smiled: “If my sister could speak, she would definitely say ‘no’.”
Chen Qingqing walked to her husband: “Let’s go eat.”
Lin Bo was about to stand up, but suddenly stopped and looked down at the person lying on the ground.
“…So thirsty.”
Shang Li slowly opened his eyes, looking very tired. He tried hard to see the person in front of him clearly, but could only see a vague shadow.
“Uncle is awake!” Xiaohuan shouted, jumped out of the car happily and rushed over, turned back halfway, and hurriedly took a bottle of mineral water from the trunk.
Lin Bo immediately untied the rope on Shang Li and helped Shang Li sit up.
Chen Qingqing opened the lid of the mineral water bottle and squatted beside Shang Li: "Come, drink some water."
Shang Li heard the voice, slowly turned his head, squinted his eyes to see the family clearly, and grinned.
"I, I'm still alive... You didn't give up on me?"
After enduring a night of torture, Shang Li was exhausted, but realizing that he was still alive, he inexplicably generated a force, supported himself to hold the bottle, raised his head and took a big gulp.
The slightly cool water flowed down his throat into his stomach, and Shang Li suddenly felt much more sober.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Xiao Huan stood in front of Shang Li, staring at him with worry.
"You slept for a long time, I put the little bear in your arms... Did he protect you in your dreams?"
Shang Li's nose was sour.
"Yes. I'm much better now, thank you and the little bear for protecting me!" Shang Li responded to Xiao Huan firmly, and forced a big smile.
Xiao Huan ran back to the car, grabbed a walnut bag from the table, ran to Shang Li and handed it to him.
Shang Li looked at Chen Qingqing, then at Lin Bo, took the walnut bag, and tears burst out the moment he bit it.
He really thought he was going to die, with such a big wound scratched by the zombie.
Anyone who saw this situation would worry about their life being threatened. They would not even have time to run away, so how could they risk their own life to save him?
Shang Li chewed the soft walnut bun, tears running down his cheeks and mixed with the food in his hands, which was chewed in his mouth and swallowed.
How could he meet such a good family?
"Don't cry." Chen Qingqing handed him a tissue.
Shang Li took the tissue and wiped his tears, then chewed and ate a small walnut bun carefully.
He was about to open his mouth when his stomach rumbled at an inopportune time.
Shang Li had just calmed down and his face turned red.
Who gets hungry right after eating?
But to be honest, this small walnut bun is really nothing for an adult man, and he just survived a life-and-death situation, which consumed a lot of energy.
"Come." Lin Bo stretched out his hand to him.
Shang Li held his hand and stood up with the help of his strength.
Lin Bo took him to the car, pressed his shoulders to let him sit down, and took out a bottle of electrolyte water from the backpack behind the car and handed it to him.
"Eat first."
A pair of chopsticks was stuffed into Shang Li's hand, and he looked at Chen Qingqing at a loss.
Chen Qingqing smiled at him: "Eat."
"From now on, we are family, don't be polite."
... A family?
Shang Li was stunned, repeating this word in his mind.
After struggling on the brink of death all night, Shang Li's mind was a little dull, until Xiao Huan sat beside him, peeled an egg, and used his little hands to brush off the eggshell stuck on the egg white before handing it to him.
"Here, uncle, this is yours. Mom said that if you eat well, you will grow fast."
Shang Li suddenly understood what they meant.
He found it hard to believe that he was accepted by this family.
... How could he deserve this!
Shang Li lowered his head to look at the bandage on his arm, pursed his lips, and held back his tears.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo seriously: "Sister, brother-in-law, although one of my arms is injured, I can still use the other arm."
"I can collect supplies, kill zombies, and protect Xiaohuan and Shenshen!"
Shang Li wisely did not say that he could protect the couple, after all, the couple was much stronger than him.
Chen Qingqing smiled: "The most important thing is that you are eloquent, which is something that none of us can learn."
"No matter what happens on the road in the future, you will have to deal with it."
Shang Li smiled and his expression became much more natural.
Not only did he not feel sad because Chen Qingqing used him, but he was very happy.
What Chen Qingqing said showed that he was useful to the family.
This way, he doesn't have to worry that his joining them will be a very tiring thing. He has
always earned his living by his own ability. If Chen Qingqing really doesn't need him to do anything, then he will be uneasy.
After talking, Shang Li was very happy and ate up the eggs in no time.
He smacked his lips and said with an unsatisfied look: "I didn't like eating eggs before, but I didn't expect that eggs have become a rare thing now."
Thinking of this, he felt that he had eaten too fast just now.
Now an egg should be able to exchange for many things.
Lin Bo is the best at observing people. He saw Shang Li swallow his saliva and look away from the egg.
When Shang Li was about to get off the car to divert his attention, Lin Bo stopped him and handed him the last egg.
"You eat it, I don't want to eat eggs today."
The softer Lin Bo's voice was, the more Shang Li blushed.
"Brother-in-law, I..."
"It's okay," Chen Qingqing interrupted him, "How can you find supplies if you don't have enough to eat? Besides, you need a lot of nutrition to recover quickly. You eat first, we still have plenty of eggs."
Shang Li knew that it would be inappropriate to refuse any further, so he took the egg, knocked it on the table twice, and when he was peeling it, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the empty back of the car.
"...Where are He Chuan and the others? Are they all okay?"
Lin Bo and his wife looked at each other and briefly recounted what happened yesterday.
Shang Li beat his chest and stamped his feet when he heard it.
"If only I were here! Zhou Weiyue is not very smart, you can see that, right, sister and brother-in-law?"
The two of them played together, proving that they must have something in common.
Zhou Weiyue and He Chuan have been friends for so many years, so naturally they have common personality traits.
To put it nicely, it's insisting on being yourself, to put it bluntly, it's being stubborn, stubborn, and inflexible.
He Chuan is smarter and knows how to assess the situation. He also knows that in the end times, people who have lived together for many years cannot be trusted, let alone strangers.
But Zhou Weiyue is really stupid and naive.
To say that she is stupid, you can see it from the fact that she spoke rudely to Zhang Mingqi within the control of Zhang Mingqi.
It is also true that she is kind, but her kindness appears at the wrong time.
Shang Li can understand Zhou Weiyue's thoughts. In her concept, good and evil are too clear, but in the real world, good and evil often do not have such a clear dividing line.
And Chen Qingqing would never bring potential danger to her family.
And Zhou Weiyue just couldn't turn around, which led to the development of things like this.
Shang Li sighed and murmured, "I don't know if they can survive..."
If he were there, he would definitely be able to convince that idiot Zhou Weiyue.
"Qingqing, in which bag is the alcohol?"
Lin Bo wanted to change the medicine for Shang Li, but the alcohol was put there by Chen Qingqing.
After calling out twice without getting a response, he walked to his wife and patted her shoulders twice: "What's wrong?"
Chen Qingqing suddenly came back to her senses and pursed her lips.
"It's okay, I... will go around and check the situation."
Lin Bo looked at his wife's figure walking away, thoughtfully.
After a moment, he looked at Shang Li with determination: "Let's discuss something."
