Except for Huo Yishen, everyone else looked very tired. Doudou had tears in his eyes and his little face was extremely pale. He was obviously frightened.
No one spoke, and the three men moved the water tower in tacit understanding.
Jiang Ning put away the speedboat and went upstairs carrying the firewood.
Zheng Weili was walking in front of her and stumbled and almost fell.
Jiang Ning couldn't free his hands, so he used his body to push.
The two continued to go up. Zheng Weili walked in a strange posture, obviously her foot was injured.
Jiang Ning has a sensitive nose and can faintly smell blood.
Is it possible that there will be a gunfight this time?
There are countless pairs of eyes in the apartment building. Now is not the time to show weakness. Once people find out that the 18th floor is in trouble, many people will pounce on us like mad dogs.
Gritting her teeth, Zheng Weili returned to the 18th floor and placed the firewood in the corridor, her expression full of pain.
Jiang Ning helped her into the house, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Weili's calf was injured and the blood dyed the gauze red.
It was neither a knife wound nor a gunshot wound, but a bloody hole.
Zheng Weili felt great pain and said, "It was a wild boar that hit me."
Jiang Ning frowned, "You guys went into the mountains again?"
"What else can we do if we don't go into the mountains?" Zheng Weili smiled bitterly. "Everything that can keep us alive is soaked in the water, and people are starving to death outside every day. When we went out today, we saw someone throwing corpses from the upstairs, and there were more than one.
We can barely hold out for seven or eight months, but supplies are becoming increasingly difficult to find. What will we do in the future?"
Dismantling the water tower is secondary. Today our main goal is to go to the mountains.
They climbed over several mountains, and Cola lived up to everyone's expectations by finding a litter of wild boars, which numbered as many as five, and all of them were quite large.
After unanimous discussion, they decided to take action to take it down.
Jiang Ning was worried for them. "Wild boars are not like domesticated ones. They are very aggressive."
It is very dangerous, but wild boar meat can save people's lives, so we have to fight even at the huge risk!
Jiang Ning took out gauze and iodine, and searched for surgical instruments and sutures. "The wound is too big to stop the bleeding. Should we send you to the hospital, or should I sew it up for you?"
"It's not a serious wound, just help me sew it up."
Zheng Weili didn't take injuries seriously, as she often got hurt while boxing. Besides, there was no medicine available at the hospital, so she might as well get treated at home.
Jiang Ning had some anesthetics in stock last time. He first disinfected the wound, injected anesthesia to block the pain, and then began to suture.
It was my first time sewing for someone, but I had practiced with pork countless times before, so I was quite steady.
Lu Yu, who was standing next to him, was so scared that his face turned blue. He tightly held his girlfriend's hand and said, "Aning, Weili's life is in your hands."
Zheng Weili pushed him and said, "You hurt my hand."
Zhang Chao rolled his eyes, "Stop showing off your affection."
Not only Zheng Weili was injured, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu were also injured, but they were just scratches and not serious.
Huo Yishen's arm was scratched and bleeding, but he comforted the frightened and crying Doudou as if nothing had happened.
It was raining and the forest was slippery. Zheng Weili killed a wild boar with her bare hands, but was gored by its tusks.
Kele was very brave and cooperated perfectly with Huo Yishen to kill the remaining four.
Zhang Chao and Lu Yu also helped, but they were not on the same level after all. If Huo Yishen hadn't come to the rescue, Zhang Chao would probably have been in danger today.
As a result, Huo Yishen's arm was scratched.
Doudou did not participate. She was tied to a tall tree by Huo Yishen and was completely frightened and cried by the fierce battle under the tree.
After stitching up Zheng Weili's wound, Jiang Ning continued to treat 1801.
There was a cut, which was not particularly deep. After disinfection, I had 10 stitches and took painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Everyone sat down to discuss how to deal with the wild boar.
Without a refrigerator, there is no way to store food at home.
"How about making it into barbecued meat?" Lu Yu suggested, "We brought back a few boxes of charcoal last time."
Jiang Ning rejected the idea. “Roasting meat jerky consumes too much charcoal. Besides, how long will it take to roast five pigs? By then, the whole neighborhood will be filled with the smell of barbecue.”
"Do you still remember the sharp-nosed monkeys?" Zhang Chao was quick-witted. "They not only sell things, but also collect things. We are short of food now, how about exchanging wild boar meat with them?"
Last time we traded five times in a row, the other party was quite trustworthy.
This method is good, maybe you can try it.
A few people stuffed a pig into the water tower and had already slaughtered it into four large pieces.
The wild boar meat was taken out of the water tower. The skin was thick and the meat was dark red with almost no fat.
Jiang Ning disagreed with bringing the whole pig over. "First cut off a few pounds to test the water. Don't tell us how much we have. If we can reach an agreement, we should trade in batches."
Two people were injured, and Zhang Chao and Lu Yu volunteered to go to the department store to look for the sharp-nosed monkey.
In the end of the world, who can always take care of whom? How far you can go depends entirely on yourself.
Jiang Ning did not stop them and told them to be careful.
Doudou was frightened, but fell asleep after being comforted. Huo Yishen carried her back to the room to sleep.
Zheng Weili told Jiang Ning about the situation at the villa halfway up the mountain. This time, six water towers were dismantled, and a lot of pure wooden furniture was collected, as well as two unused gas cylinders.
We must find a way to get these back as soon as possible, otherwise they will soon be sold to others.
"The wild boar is hiding in the mountains. We probably won't be able to find it for the time being."
An hour later, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu came back.
"We have found out that the leader of the sharp-nosed monkeys is surnamed Qin. They are willing to exchange grain for pork, but they are taking advantage of the situation to rob people."
One pound of wild boar meat can be exchanged for two pounds of broken rice, but one pound of new rice can only be exchanged for one pound.
I brought five pounds of meat and exchanged it for five pounds of new rice.
Jiang Ning took a look and saw that it was good quality rice. "You guys weren't followed, were you?"
"No, we drove a speedboat and even went in a circle on purpose."
"They really want this batch of meat. They said they want new rice instead. It's all vacuum packed and has the latest expiration date."
Huo Yishen was called over, and everyone discussed the deal.
Jiang Ning agreed to exchange meat for rice, which seemed like a loss, but Zheng Weili and her team had no means to preserve wild boar meat, and many people couldn't even buy rice, so how many people would buy meat?
Compared to meat, rice is more filling and more delicious.
Five wild boars, if slaughtered, would have an average net weight of 200 kilograms, which could be exchanged for a lot of food.
However, they still wanted to save some meat, so they decided to only exchange four heads.
The wild boar was divided into four parts, two for 1803, one for 1801, and the coke part was given to Jiang Ning.
Wild boar wood is great for barbecue and can also be used to make chili meat sauce, which can be stored for a long time without going bad.
However, whether it is grilling meat or making meat sauce, it is not only time-consuming but also has a strong smell, so it is best not to do it on the 18th floor.
The smell is one thing, but even if you close the door and cover your mouth it’s unbearable.
Huo Yishen suggested, "The villa complex has been vacated, why not finish it there and come back later?"
Jiang Ning just had this idea.
Others had no objection.
So the three men packed the wild boar meat into bags and big backpacks, then got on a speedboat and set out to trade.
Don't forget to bring Coke too.
They met at the department store, avoiding the crowds and doing business in the silent flood...
