"Take them all."
"That's too much."
Wang Sansan looked a little embarrassed.
"It's alright. You've helped me a lot too. I can't just watch you freeze to death." At this moment, Wang San San and the others were all wearing tattered cotton-padded coats. They were shivering when they weren't working.
Having known them for so long, Feng Ran also felt sorry for the others.
There are still women and elderly people in the family.
Besides, if she really freezes to death, who will she hire next time?
The three men thanked them profusely and put all the items into the tattered black plastic bags, which were then loaded into the car, with some dry branches on top.
These things need to be hidden well. Otherwise, if someone sees them when I go out, they'll definitely be stolen!
They were robbed on their way home yesterday. Luckily, they were all carrying guns, so they escaped unharmed.
That evening, Feng Ran stored most of the firewood in her spatial storage. It's good to stock up.
It's too cold, so a small stove is burning in the living room. The two of them have already brought the bed down to the living room; Feng Ran sleeps on the bed, and Bai Lian sleeps on the sofa.
Two stoves need to be lit together for a peaceful night.
Even in the middle of the night, he would silently get up to add firewood.
It's too cold, so I put some beef bones and beef on the stove and simmered them. I'm planning to have beef soup tonight. The big bones are for Jinbao.
Watching Jinbao happily gnawing on a bone, Feng Ran thought of the news she received from Feng Nangui a couple of days ago: Zhaocai was dead…
He was beaten to death with clubs while protecting Feng Yingying from being robbed. His body was also stolen.
When Feng Nangui found it again, it had already been stewed and eaten, leaving only bones!
This incident made Feng Ran so angry that she couldn't sleep all night. She should have just kept them all for herself.
Feng Yingying, that scourge!
The next day, the two began their official "warming up" routine. Early in the morning, their phones had no signal. Feng Ran guessed the internet was down. Luckily, she had downloaded many mobile games, novels, and comics that didn't require internet access.
It's freezing cold. Nobody wants to move.
Bai Lian was making breakfast while she was sleeping.
Bai Lian was making lunch while she was sleeping.
Bai Lian was making dinner while she was sleeping.
It wasn't that I was really sleepy, I was just lying in bed with the hot water in the plastic bucket on my face, and I couldn't get out of bed.
After all, the world outside the bed is a foreign land.
The living room is always filled with smoke, and everyone's gotten used to it. It's better to die filthy than to freeze to death.
...
"Grandpa! Brother, sister! Come quickly!" At this moment, Old Man Wang, who had endured more than a year of the apocalypse, finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"grandfather!"
"grandfather--"
"..."
"Alright, cough cough, stop crying. Grandpa's time has come. ...You...you all need to stick together from now on."
"Grandpa, don't say that! You'll be alright."
"Grandpa, I have nothing to worry about anymore. You... are all good children. After Grandpa is gone, you must help each other through the difficult times."
...
Old Wang passed away at night. He was cremated and buried the next day.
Everyone was very saddened to suddenly lose their pillar of support.
Especially since there are four siblings. But life must go on.
The temperature has plummeted, and they don't plan to move back home. Although the government can provide water, it's not very convenient. Besides, the water level in the cave has recently increased.
The family decided to continue hiding in the cave.
It's convenient to get and use firewood.
The large fire burning at night kept the cave warm enough to live in. On the two stoves nearby, some taro porridge was cooking, along with a piece of green vegetable.
The family was very satisfied with the meal.
These past couple of days, some bean sprouts have also appeared, adding a touch of green. Eating them makes people feel more energetic.
...
"White-faced guy, where's Jinbao?"
"Huh? Weren't we watching TV together in the living room?"
"No! Wasn't it following you for a walk in the yard?"
"without."
"Jinbao? Jinbao?"
"Jinbao?"
The two searched the entire house from top to bottom, but couldn't find the dog.
"Let's search outside." Feng Ran made the decision immediately, and the two quickly went out to search.
"Jinbao? Jinbao, where are you?"
"Jinbao?"
The two of them called for Gouzi everywhere outside, but couldn't get Jinbao to come back. Fengran was almost in tears.
It's gone now. If it gets caught, the consequences are obvious!
"Jinbao? Where are you? Mommy's here. Jinbao?"
...
They searched until dark, their throats were hoarse, but they still couldn't find the dog.
I can only go home and check on things first.
There's still none at home.
"...Let's rest for a while."
"Where could Jinbao have gone? How could he have suddenly disappeared! The gate hasn't even been opened!"
"When I was looking for Jinbao, I found a small hole under the backyard wall."
"What!"
Feng Ran quickly turned on her flashlight and headed towards the backyard.
There really is a hole, and there are some treasure-like hairs at the entrance of the hole.
"It's gone...everything's gone...it definitely won't survive!"
Feng Ran collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless.
If Jinbao had simply gone out to play, he wouldn't have stayed away forever. It's already dark... and he still hasn't returned. The consequences are definitely not good!
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."
Bai Lian saw Feng Ran slumped on the ground, crying her heart out. He took a few steps forward and helped her up.
"Don't cry, it's cold outside, you'll go blind from the cold. Let's go inside quickly."
I was dragged back to the living room. Finally, the temperature had risen.
I was originally going upstairs to my room to get a change of clothes. As I walked past the second-floor window, I was suddenly drawn to the light from the house behind me.
