The residential area across the street is only a dozen meters away from my small courtyard.
Although the pickup truck killed a lot of zombies and took some away, there are still many zombies on the road, making it dangerous for them to go or for Aunt Fang to come over.
But Grandpa Gu Bei's illness can't be delayed either.
Even appendicitis can be excruciating if left untreated.
As Qiao An'an anxiously watched, she suddenly noticed that the seven or eight-meter-long RV that had crashed into the wall earlier was on the same level as the pickup truck parked in front of their community fence, and there was only a 4-5 meter gap between them.
See here.
Suddenly, a bold idea popped into Qiao An'an's mind. She took the walkie-talkie from Chi Xiaoyu and asked Aunt Fang, "Could we ask Chen Zhou to provide a car?"
Aunt Fang: "You mean, you want him to drive me there?"
Getting out of the residential area and into the car is a very dangerous thing, so whenever people from the residential area go out to find supplies, it is always the young and strong people who go out, and the older people are never allowed to go out.
Now that Qiao An'an is asking Aunt Fang for help, how can we let Aunt Fang take this risk? "No, I want Chen Zhou to drive between the pickup truck and the RV, squeeze the RV to the wall of your community, and squeeze the pickup truck to the wall of our community. Aunt Fang, you can come over along the roof of the vehicle. I will turn off the power grid before you come, but I will only turn off the power grid when you come in."
Qiao An'an's meaning was crystal clear: she did not welcome anyone else.
It's not that she's cold-blooded or heartless.
Rather, it's that she can't trust anyone on the other side.
Aunt Fang expressed her understanding: "I think it's fine."
The pickup truck has been modified to be over 3 meters tall, and the RV and train are both nearly 4 meters tall. If these heights were connected, one could easily walk onto the fence of the small yard.
While Aunt Fang was holding the walkie-talkie, Shen Zhou listened to Qiao An'an talking the whole time. He also thought the idea was feasible, so he immediately climbed into a truck at the outermost edge of the community.
After Shen Zhou set up the bridge, Aunt Fang immediately picked up the medicine box that Nan Qiao had handed her and headed towards the small courtyard.
At this moment, Chi Ming, who had miraculously survived, noticed a familiar figure among the people inside the smashed window of the courtyard—his daughter.
As far as I can remember, my daughter was exceptionally outstanding before she developed depression. When her ex-wife tried to jump off a building with her but failed, she still clung tightly to her ex-wife's hand.
He recalled that when they went to the hospital later, his daughter's hand had already dislocated.
His ex-wife dislocated his shoulder by force.
He felt that if it had been his daughter, she would never have kicked him down. After all, people say that daughters are their fathers' little cotton-padded jackets, and what's more, his daughter was super attached to him. Even though they didn't live together, she would come to his house to share her awards with him as soon as she received one. She was nothing like his debt-collecting son, who only knew how to eat big meals and play games.
As he thought this, he couldn't help but glance at the small courtyard a few more times.
Just then, Chi Xiaoyu also looked towards the residential area.
When their eyes met, Chi Ming excitedly raised his hand, wanting to greet his daughter: "Daughter!!!"
To everyone's surprise, the daughter simply turned her head away and ignored her.
Qi Feng, who was standing to the side, watched all of this and then sneered, "Can't you tell they don't want to acknowledge you?"
Chi Ming glared coldly at the foul-mouthed Qi Feng, then dejectedly lowered his raised hand. Although he was unwilling to admit it, those people on the other side had always been there. If his daughter really wanted to acknowledge him, she should have stood up and acknowledged him the day he arrived.
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and kicked his son, Chi Haoyu, who had been sitting down to play video games since returning to the apartment complex.
Chi Haoyu was kicked for no reason. He tried to resist the pressure, but his father's gaze scared him into silence.
At such a young age, he didn't understand why his father suddenly stopped loving him, simply because he kicked his father.
On the pickup truck in front of the small courtyard.
Aunt Fang had just stepped onto the electric fence and climbed the ladder when Qiao An'an immediately turned the electric fence back on.
Zhou Ya, who lived in the opposite neighborhood, saw all of this and said to Nan Qiao with some indignation, "Our people are trying to save them, why are they putting on airs? Only your mother-in-law is stupid. If I were her, I wouldn't treat you, what can you do about it?"
Nan Qiao retorted, "If it weren't for them, we might have been overrun by the masked men just now. Not only this time, they saved us last time too..."
Zhou Ya, feeling rebuffed, immediately shut her mouth.
Meanwhile, Aunt Fang, who had just entered the courtyard, had already performed a preliminary examination on Grandpa Gu Bei with a stethoscope: "It is basically confirmed to be acute appendicitis, but I am only basically certain because I have no way to perform an ultrasound on him."
Knowing that resources were limited, Qiao An'an nodded: "I trust Auntie's judgment. Please tell me how to treat it."
"Surgery would be best, but I don't have the facilities for it. Let's treat the inflammation first!"
As Aunt Fang spoke, she took a needle from the first-aid kit and started an IV drip for Grandpa Gu Bei. The IV drip contained anti-inflammatory medicine, which could relieve the inflammation, but it was only a temporary solution. Considering that Grandpa Gu Bei was in a lot of pain, she also asked Gu Bei to give Grandpa Gu Bei, who was unconscious, an ibuprofen tablet.
Grandpa Gu Bei only slowly woke up after the water had been poured halfway up.
When Grandpa Gu Bei woke up and saw everyone, he realized that he was still alive. At first, he didn't want to have an IV drip: "Don't waste resources on a dying man like me. Save these for the children."
Fang tried to explain, "Grandpa, you don't have cancer, you just have appendicitis. You're perfectly healthy!"
Gu Bei felt much relieved when Aunt Fang told him that his grandfather was in good health, but he was still worried: "Grandpa's hand is still injured."
Aunt Fang treated Grandpa Gu Bei's hand injury and left some painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicine before leaving.
Although the cooperation today was very pleasant, Qiao An'an did not intend to have any further contact with them. In Qiao An'an's plan, after Aunt Fang left, she would have Shen Zhou drive the car away, so that the two places would remain separate entities.
However, Shen Zhou did not want to move the car, but he also did not intend to park the car next to Qiao An'an's courtyard wall. He used the truck to bump into the pickup truck and pushed the pickup truck to the side of the three-meter-long bluestone wall built by Qiao An'an.
This action displeased Qiao An'an, who questioned Chen Zhou, who was driving, over the walkie-talkie: "What do you mean?"
Shen Zhou explained his idea: "I plan to use vehicles to build a wall around this place, then wipe out all the zombies on the road, and finally remove some iron gates from the shops outside to reinforce the wall. This way, we can provide the children with a larger and safer space to play."
Qiao An'an did not speak.
Although they hadn't met many times, Shen Zhou still guessed her concerns: "You don't need to worry that we won't take your resources. At the same time, I can assure you that without your permission, no one from our side will go over this wall to your side."
Grandpa Gu will also need Aunt Fang's treatment in the future.
But she still couldn't accept the car being parked next to her wall.
Qiao An'an felt it wouldn't be wise to refuse at this time. She pointed to the large pit that the developer had dug earlier and said to Chen Zhou, "I agree to build the wall, but I think that location is more suitable."
