Chapter 81 Ji Yanmo, this is...
Originally, Lu Xingtang planned to have home-cooked meals with rice and steamed buns at their house on New Year's Day, and if that was not enough, they would have noodles. But Su Cheng asked, "Do you have any hot pot base?" Of course there was, so they had hot pot at Lu Xingtang's house on New Year's Day, and everyone found a lot of ingredients for this hot pot.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ji Yanmo had a home-cooked meal at his home. Being wealthy, Ji Yanmo used soup bowls instead of plates for his dishes. He prepared six dishes: two braised fish, braised pork, boiled chicken, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cabbage with vinegar, and beef stew with potatoes. He also steamed two pots of rice and, with Lu Xingtang's help, two steamed buns.
I went to Su Cheng's house on the third day of the New Year. They started preparing on the night of the second day. Su Cheng's cooking skills were very poor, but he was an excellent dumpling-making expert. He prepared sauerkraut pork filling, beef filling, pork and cabbage filling, and even spent time researching potato pork filling and potato beef filling. He made a few himself and tried them, and they tasted pretty good.
The wrapped dumplings were placed on the balcony and they froze hard in half an hour.
Because Lu Xingtang and the other two had big appetites, they made a lot of dumplings.
After the Chinese New Year, Lu Xingtang and the other two once again went out in a group to look for supplies. Because they had almost eaten up all the supplies during the Chinese New Year, they had to hurry to replenish them.
It has been eight months since the extreme cold broke out. Supplies outside are extremely difficult to find. They can only walk far away, and sometimes they cannot return home for several days. They were lucky enough to find a cave that stored food, including rice, flour, noodles, sweet potatoes and potatoes.
It is not known who hid the food in the cave. Lu Xingtang and his friends did not take all of it away. Each person only took a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, and five handfuls of noodles. They did not take any potatoes. The cold-resistant potatoes at home would be ready to eat soon. Some sweet potatoes were taken away, not to be eaten, but to be used for seeds. The potato vines cannot be eaten, but the sweet potato leaves can be eaten.
After sending the supplies back home, they did not slack off and continued to go out to look for supplies, but...
"Brother, two brothers, wait for me." Lu Xingtang turned his head and looked at a topless woman walking towards them. His brows were furrowed. "Hurry up, we're being watched."
They walked quickly, and the woman followed quickly. "Brothers, don't run. I have something to tell you two. Turn around and look at me. I'm still very beautiful. I'll give you five kilograms of food each time. I promise to satisfy you."
Seeing she couldn't catch up with the person, the woman cried out loudly: "Brothers, I have no choice. If I could find supplies, I wouldn't treat myself like this! Please, for my pity, help me! I beg you!"
Su Cheng knew that everyone was having a hard time in this world, but he still couldn't accept that someone was actually exchanging himself for food. It might be because he was living a comfortable life and didn't know the real situation outside.
"If you don't leave, I'll shoot!" Su Cheng took out the gun and fired a shot at the woman's feet, scaring the woman to scream, but she did not run away.
He fixed his eyes on Lu Xingtang and said, "Little sister, you are also a woman. You followed both of them. Otherwise, you can give me one. I am just trying to save my life. I don't really want to snatch theirs from you. As long as you are willing to give it to me, I will give you one kilogram of the five kilograms of food I got. Is that okay?"
Lu Xingtang was speechless. Was this classifying her as one of the same kind?
Even in the previous life, no matter how hard life was or how hungry I was, I never sold myself to obtain supplies to survive!
Besides, the government has been trying to find ways to rescue survivors. If she really has difficulties, she can go to the government!
But she didn't look for him. What does that mean? They're a gang! There must be someone hiding behind them, watching them secretly. If they fall for it, they'll rush out and use moral kidnapping. If moral kidnapping doesn't work, they'll use force and rob them directly!
Lu Xingtang also silently took out his pistol and pulled the trigger: "I sympathize with your situation, but we are victims, not saviors! If you and your accomplices don't leave, I will make sure you never leave here!"
The gun suddenly pointed at the corner of a nearby house and hit the wall with a bang. The people hiding inside the wall screamed in fear and were scared out.
Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo were on full alert, both pulled the trigger and fired.
"Hurry up! They have guns! The most important thing is to stay alive!" Then he ran away.
Lu Xingtang put away her gun and pulled her sled away, followed closely by Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo.
Two days later, they met another woman holding a baby in her arms. The baby was very small and thin, and its face was black and blue from the cold. Although the woman held the child tightly, her eyes lacked maternal love. "Please, for the sake of my newborn, give me some food. My baby has been hungry all day, and I really don't have any milk. Please save my child!"
Lu Xingtang was speechless. It was clearly the end of the world, so why let the child suffer? If you gave birth to the child, you should have figured out how to raise it! Using a child to earn supplies, how hard-hearted could someone be? Aren't you afraid the child will die in the cold?
An enraged Lu Xingtang shot and killed the child's mother and sent the child to a nearby shelter. It was unclear whether the child could survive in the shelter, but it was better than staying with his mother!
For a while, they couldn't find any supplies. Just when they were planning to chop three sleds of firewood to go home, they saw a wild boar in the mountains with hungry eyes. In order to save energy and quickly get rid of the wild boar, Ji Yanmo shot and killed it.
Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng tied the wild boar to the sled, and Lu Xingtang was chopping trees with an axe. At this moment, another pig appeared and attacked Lu Xingtang who was closest to it.
"Lu Xingtang, be careful!" Ji Yanmo noticed it, dropped the rope in his hand and rushed towards Lu Xingtang quickly and neatly. When Lu Xingtang took out the gun to shoot the wild boar, his body suddenly flew into the air, and then was hugged tightly by someone, away from the wild boar's attack.
Because they were going too fast and the ground was covered with ice, Ji Yanmo accidentally fell backwards uncontrollably while holding Lu Xingtang. The mountain was steep and slippery, and the two of them rolled down the mountain on the accumulated snow.
"Lu Xingtang! Ji Yanmo!" Su Cheng was frightened by the sudden scene, but the wild boar was coming towards him, so he took out his gun and shot the wild boar.
Bang, bang, bang! Several shots missed, and only two hit the wild boar. The wild boar's attack weakened instantly, and it rolled down the slope.
Su Cheng immediately put away his gun and followed the traces of Lu Xingtang and the others rolling down the mountain to look for them.
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo rolled down the slope for about ten meters before they were blocked by a thick tree. Lu Xingtang lay on Ji Yanmo's body, and her pupils dilated when she saw Ji Yanmo's face and eyes full of worry.
What is Ji Yanmo doing?
