Xia Lunong and the others arrived at Zhangshu County in the evening.

When we arrived, the sun had already set, the sky was filled with purple clouds, and it was about to turn dark.

Lao Liu and the others drove the car directly to a relatively large open space and shouted for everyone to get out of the car.

When Xia Lunong heard the shouting, she looked outside.

The place where the truck parked was a muddy lawn with many ruts on the ground. I am afraid that besides them, there were many people parking their cars here.

Xia Lu's thick eyes were full of curiosity, and people kept coming down beside her, making her laugh when she saw him like this.

Seeing him like this, his brother patted his shoulder and motioned for him to get out of the car.

Except for two short trips to the toilet, Xia LuNong sat in the carriage for a whole day. When he got off the train, he staggered and felt sore in his back and legs.

His brother grabbed his collar from behind and lifted him up.

Xia Lunong pulled his arm back, stood still, and sniffed the air deeply.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air, which was hard to tell. It was a fishy smell, but it was not a pleasant smell.

His eyes fell on the ruins next to him, which were almost covered by plants. He didn't know what snakes, rats, ants and insects were hiding in them.

Old Liu clapped his hands in front, "While we are here, It's not completely dark yet, let's search the area and come back to rest after it gets dark."

Everyone responded sporadically, Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian were in the crowd, and Xia Lunong followed.

Old Liu led the team, Xia Huo Qu wanted to go ahead to help prevent danger, and said to Xia Lunong: "I'll go ahead, you follow your brother and be careful."

Xia Lunong nodded seriously.

Yan Xinian assured him, "I'll take care of everything."

The group walked into the ruins, everyone looked around and listened carefully, and suddenly something jumped out of the ruins.

Xia Lunong could not feel anything, especially

Yan Xinian said beside him: "It's okay, there's not much odor here, there shouldn't be any rats." Xia

Lunong swallowed nervously and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xinian, I see a lot of wheels nearby, Have many people been here? Do we still need to search?"

Yan Xinian looked at him with admiration, "You have observed very carefully."

Xia Lunong looked around embarrassedly, "Are you blind? Look."

Yan Xinian explained: "There are many wheels nearby. Because the whole Zhangshu County is not very big, if you drive here, you can only park here. This county was previously occupied by snakes and rats, and was only cleared out this spring. Not many people have come here. I will observe the traces later and find a piece of Ruins that have not been turned over much can be cleaned up."

Xia Lunong looked at the overly lush vegetation around her and questioned, "It has rained so much, and the vegetation is so lush, how can we tell whether there are people here? Have you searched before?"

"You can probably tell by how many supplies there are inside." Yan Xinian said, "It doesn't matter if you don't find anything. Tomorrow is the big day. Today we are just out for a walk. We can find something valuable. It’s best to find the things you need, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t find them.”

Yan Xinian explained to Xia Lunong in the back, while Lao Liu and his team had already entered the ruins and were searching with their hands on.

There are a lot of metals in the ruins, and without gloves, it is easy to get infected. In this era of lack of medical care, no one dares to take risks.

Xia Huoqu followed Lao Liu, not bending down to look for supplies, but more cautiously Looking around to prevent any changes,

Yan Xinian led Xia Lunong around a corner and went to another smaller ruin.

The ruins were not big, and everyone could see each other standing on the rubble.

When Xia Huoqu saw them, his expression relaxed a little, and he quickly turned his gaze away and continued to stand guard. Xia Lunong stepped into the ruins with one foot deep and one foot shallow, searching with an iron hook. There was everything under the tiles

.

, rotten wood, broken bowls, various wine bottles, seasoning jars and plastic bags, very few of which can be used.

Xia Lunong looked at it for a long time, and then she spotted a battery whose packaging had not been opened. She turned it over and showed it to Yan Xinian like a treasure, "Brother Xinian, look at this, a battery!" "

Not bad." Yan Xi Nian took it, squeezed it, and after carefully observing the marks, he said, "Take it back, it should be useful."

Xia Lunong nodded and continued to search excitedly.

The tiles were exposed to the sun and rain, and many things inside were moldy.

Xia The hook in Lu Nong's hand hooked a cardboard box.

The patterns on the outside of the cardboard box were all faded, and the cardboard was wrinkled and brittle, and had aged. He scratched the cardboard with a light hook.

It was too dark, so he couldn't see clearly what was inside. After unhooking everything, he found that it was filled with glass bottles, neatly stacked.

It seemed to be... canned food!

"Brother Xi Nian!" Xia Lu Nong suddenly became excited. She pulled the corner of Yan Xinian's clothes to show him, and lowered her voice, "It's canned food!"

"One, two, three... six! Six cans!"

Xia Lu Nong bent down and took out a can. He picked up the can and checked it.

The can was well sealed, and the lid didn't show any signs of bulging. With the last bit of light, he looked at the syrup inside, and it was still clear.

It was not bad at all.

Yan Xinian looked at it carefully and exclaimed, "What good luck!" . ”

Who would have thought that there would be a small box of intact canned food under this piece of ruins?

This is really good luck.

"Two bottles of coconut, two bottles of yellow peach, and two bottles of strawberry." Xia Lunong carefully took out the cans, looked at the fruits inside, and swallowed quietly.

He hadn't eaten such sweet cans for a long time.

"A bottle weighs three pounds. Wow, a big harvest. Brother Xinian, you don't have to hand in this can, right?"

"No." Yan Xinian helped him open the backpack. "We are not members of Lao Liu's team. We can find anything. No need to hand it in."

"Great." Xia Lunong carefully put the cans into their backpacks after reading the labels, separating the cans with cardboard, and looked down at the cans expectantly, " Let’s eat together when we get back to the base.”

Yan Xinian took the backpack from his hand, “Newbies have better luck, I’ll carry the backpack, you continue to look.”

“Okay! Let’s see if we can find some milk powder, white wine, or something like that.”

Xia Lunong continued searching in the ruins and soon found a set of intact kitchen knives.

This is a good thing, Xia Lunong put it in his pocket.

The people on Lao Liu's side cheered from time to time, and it seemed that they all gained something.

Everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized. When it was completely dark and people could not see each other clearly, everyone gathered together and went back to the car together.

In the evening, the person with the biggest harvest found a bag of 20 kilograms of vacuum-packed rice, which looked completely intact.

Next was Xia Lunong, whose six cans of sugar water were more valuable than the same weight of rice.

Someone in the team came to him and wanted to exchange rice for a can of food, and Xia Lunong looked at his brother.

Xia Huoqu refused, "Not for the time being, we don't lack rice."

"If we don't lack rice, what do we lack? You make an offer."

Xia Huoqu rushed, "We don't lack anything. Don't stare at my brother's canned food. You can find it yourself tomorrow."

The people who were expecting were instantly disappointed.

For dinner, everyone ate the dry food they brought with them.

Xia Lunong and the other two ate a solid meal. Each lunch box was filled with at least one pound of rice, and on top of the rice was fried dry sausage and pickled cabbage fried with the fat from the sausage.

As soon as the lunch boxes were opened, the aroma of sausage and pickled cabbage spread throughout the car, and immediately caused a sound of swallowing saliva.

Xiao Tang came over and called Xia Huoqu, "Brother Xia, your sausage smells so good. Is it Xiao Nong's craftsmanship?"

Xia Huoqu used a clean spoon to pick up a piece for him, "Just one piece, no more."

"Thank you, Brother Xia, Brother Xia is so kind!" Xiao Tang picked it up and put it in his mouth and took a small bite. Instantly, tears were about to burst out of his eyes, "It smells good!"

Others were eager to try it, but they were a step behind Xiao Tang and did not have Xiao Tang's thick skin. They could only smell the aroma of sausage and stir-fried pickled cabbage while swallowing various sweet potatoes, taro, rice balls, etc. in their hands.

Xia Lunong was always thinking about the canned food in his backpack and was a little absent-minded while eating.

He took a bite and glanced at it. Even though he could not see clearly because there was only a candle lit in the middle of the car fight, he insisted on looking at it.

"Give it to me." Xia Huoqu said suddenly.

Xia Lunong was puzzled.

Xia Huoqu took the half-eaten rice from him and poured most of the rest into his own bowl, "I'll open the can for you after dinner."

Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, "Open it tonight?"

"Open it. Don't carry anything after opening it." Xia Huoqu said, "Hurry up and eat."

Xia Lunong took the lunch box immediately without his brother urging him and shoveled rice into his mouth.

His brother only poured the rice over and didn't share his dishes. He even specially picked up two more slices of sausage for his brother.

Then he immediately saw his brother pick up a slice of sausage from his lunch box and gave it to his old brother.

Xia Lunong moved her butt and instantly felt that the rice in her mouth was a little sour, like dog food.

Xia Lunong finished first.

After finishing the meal, he picked out a can of yellow peach from his backpack and opened the can with one hand without using any tools.

A fresh peach flavor mixed with the smell of sugar water wafted out.

Xia Lunong swallowed her saliva, but did not pour it into her lunch box.

Xia Huoqu raised his head and asked softly, "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until you and Brother Xinian finish eating, then we'll share it together!"

Xia Huoqu's eyes curved, and Yan Xinian patted his shoulder in appreciation.

The place where they sat was a bit off, but the smell of the canned food quickly wafted out, filling the car, sweet and tempting.

Xia Huoqu had no intention of sharing the canned food with others, and the others did not ask much.

After Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian finished their meal, Xia Lunong picked up the canned food and scooped it out with a clean spoon, passing it to each of them.

The canned food inside was exactly a multiple of three, with two more pieces, so Xia Lunong gave each of his two brothers an extra piece.

Xia Huoqu gave him his extra piece, "You eat it yourself."

"No, I don't eat much." Xia Lunong smiled with his little white teeth, lowered his head, and poured sugar water into the three lunch boxes with the can, trying to get the same amount this time.

Soon, the yellowish and sticky sugar water was finished, and Xia Lunong stuffed the empty can back into his backpack, and couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, "Brother, Brother Xinian, let's eat quickly."

After saying that, he scooped a large piece of yellow peach and took a slow bite.

The yellow peach is soft, and after being soaked in sugar water for so long, the sour taste is gone, leaving only the full peach fragrance.

When I took a bite, it was cool, juicy and sweet, just like rushing into a swimming pool on a hot summer day. Xia Lunong felt that she was soaked up and every pore was refreshed.

After eating, I had a can of yellow peach, which was really enjoyable!
