With so many people suddenly arriving at the house, Big Black made a wary "woof woof woof" sound.
However, Big Black is also very perceptive.
After seeing Qiao An'an's attitude towards everyone, she stopped growling.
At that moment, dozens of zombies on the highway to the east rushed over after hearing the explosion.
Fearing that zombies would discover her courtyard, Qiao An'an quickened her pace while calling to Gu Bei, who was at the back, to close the gate.
Gu Bei struggled to drag the trailer into the small courtyard, and then, before the zombies discovered them, he closed the heavy iron gate. Following Qiao An'an's instructions, he moved the things that had been blocking the gate back to the entrance.
Then he began to look around the courtyard.
There are lush green vegetables, tomatoes already bearing fruit, corn a meter tall, soybeans and potatoes that have already flowered, and even lotus leaves with pointed tips and a pond full of small fish.
The children here are clean from head to toe, and their clothes even smell of laundry detergent.
In contrast, I haven't showered for a month or two. When I rub my body, I get a handful of black ash and a rancid smell.
This place is clearly only separated from their residential area by a road.
But it felt completely different from their neighborhood, as if the apocalypse had never happened in this little courtyard.
Gu Bei was stunned until he heard his grandfather call out to him, "Xiao Bei, is my knife in your pocket?"
"exist."
Gu Bei quickly handed over the knife.
When handing over the knife, Gu Bei pulled out a pack of cigarettes as if presenting a treasure. His grandfather was a heavy smoker, and these days he had been so sick that he was smoking the cigarette butts left in the ashtray at home. He thought his grandfather would definitely like this, so he took it out casually. "I found this in their car."
"It's only my grandson who understands me!"
Grandpa Gu Bei put the cigarette in his pocket, and after taking the knife, he said to Qiao An'an, "Put this girl on the sofa first. I need a candle to disinfect the knife, and I also need disinfectant and hot water to clean the girl's wound."
Qiao An'an placed Chi Xiaoyu on the sofa in the living room, gave candles and disinfectant to Grandpa Gu Bei, and then went to boil water to prepare to clean Chi Xiaoyu's wounds.
After Qiao An'an boiled the water, when Grandpa Gu Bei put the knife on the fire to heat it, Chi Xiaoyu had already fallen into a coma again, and even her breathing was weak.
Qiao An'an was very worried: "Will she be alright?"
"The symptoms of excessive blood loss have not yet reached the level of shock, so there is still hope."
Although Grandpa Gu Bei was old, his skills were still quite good. He used a small knife that had been heated over a fire to gently cut open the muzzle of the gun in Chi Xiaoyu's hand, and then removed the bullet that was stuck in the flesh.
The whole process only takes five or six minutes.
Grandpa Gu Bei then took out a needle from his undergarments and heated it: "The wound is too big; it will be difficult to heal without stitches."
The needle pierced right into her flesh, and Qiao An'an felt pain just watching it. Fortunately, Chi Xiaoyu had fainted; how much pain she would have felt if she had been awake.
It took almost half an hour of suturing, and two or three basins of bloody fluid were brought out before the stitches were finally finished and the bleeding finally stopped.
Grandpa Gu Bei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this: "She shouldn't die."
Qiao An'an was just about to thank Grandpa Gu Bei.
Grandpa Gu Bei suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Qiao An'an was confused and quite frightened. She quickly helped Grandpa Gu Bei up and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Grandpa hasn't eaten anything all day, he must be suffering from low blood sugar."
Gu Bei hurriedly pulled out the chocolate from his pocket. He hadn't eaten any of the chocolates from the three first-aid kits, no matter how hungry he was; he had saved them all for his grandfather. Yesterday, there was only one small piece left, and he broke off half for his grandfather, keeping the other half for emergencies. But when he took the chocolate out of his pocket, he discovered that the small half had melted from running around all day.
He frantically tried to pry off the chocolate wrapper, hoping to get some for his grandfather, but he couldn't get it off no matter how hard he tried, and he cried in frustration.
When Qiao An'an heard that Grandpa Gu Bei had only suffered from hypoglycemia due to hunger, she quickly found the chocolate that Chi Xiaoyu had sent to her by drone, tore it open, and handed it to Gu Bei.
After expressing his gratitude repeatedly, Gu Bei broke off a piece of chocolate and gave it to his grandfather.
After Grandpa regained consciousness, he wrapped up the remaining chocolates and returned them to Qiao An'an, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
Qiao An'an thought the child was very polite and immediately felt a bit of goodwill towards him, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "You keep it for yourself."
Ya Ya said she wanted to eat too.
Qiao An'an had no choice but to give another piece to Ya Ya.
When Gu Bei heard Qiao An'an say she would give him the chocolate, he thanked her again before carefully putting the chocolate into his pocket.
Don't all kids love sweets?
Qiao An'an looked at Ya Ya, who had chocolate all over her mouth, then glanced at Gu Bei and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you eating?"
Gu Bei licked his dry lips: "I'm not hungry."
Grandpa Gu Bei couldn't help but burst into tears upon seeing this: "You haven't eaten all day either, how can you not be hungry? Grandpa knows that you didn't eat a single piece of the chocolate from the three supply packs before, and you left it all for Grandpa. It's all Grandpa's fault for being so weak and making you suffer."
When Qiao An'an overheard the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, she realized that Gu Bei was not only a polite child, but also an extremely filial one.
Because of today's events, Qiao An'an hasn't eaten yet. She patted Gu Bei's head and said, "You've eaten the chocolate, right? Auntie has some more. If Grandpa and Auntie give you more, Auntie will go cook for you now. As the oldest man here, could you help me take care of the elderly, the sick, and the children?"
What child doesn't love chocolate? Gu Bei nodded vigorously, then broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth, putting the rest back in his pocket.
