Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Drink Water
Yu Li slowly withdrew his hand.
It was late at night and the room was pitch black. Because our eyes cannot see, our ears are more sensitive and will amplify the slightest sound.
For Yu Li, being able to live again is a gift from God.
Especially when she saw from the original owner's memories that although this world was very backward, there were no ubiquitous pollutants and no rampant alien species. Everything was so beautiful.
This is something that no one living in the end times dares to imagine.
The sky was not covered by haze, the land could grow crops and plants, the water was not polluted but clear, the air had no bad smell, the animals were small, even the largest beasts were so small and cute that they could not fly into the sky to attack humans...
Yu Li was very happy, and this happiness made her temporarily endure the breathing of the other person in the room.
As new humans trained in the research institute, they make a living by clearing pollutants and alien species. They are used to fighting at any time and are always alert to the possibility that their companions and teammates around them may be polluted and mutated and suddenly attack them... Therefore, it is difficult for them to stay in a relatively closed space with others during their rest time. They will not be able to resist the urge to attack each other and drive them out of their territory.
I feel very uncomfortable, with a dizzy head, dry mouth, and nausea.
The original owner had been working under the scorching sun in the hot summer, and he had not eaten well and had not rested well, so his body had long been exhausted, and it was normal for him to get sick.
The current condition should be heat stroke.
Yu Li took a long time to relax, then fumbled to get out of bed.
When my feet touched the ground, my body went limp and I almost fell down.
Yu Li supported herself on the bedpost with both hands. She felt so weak for the first time, and even she was shocked. Even when she was about to die, she could still hold the weapon and kill a few more alien species. When had she ever felt this weak?
After pausing for a moment again, she continued to explore.
The room was too dark, and this body must have night blindness. Everything in front of her was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. She could only grope her way forward.
Fortunately, the room was not big, and she quickly found the door and opened it gently.
As soon as I walked out the door, I looked up and saw the sky full of stars.
Yu Li was stunned.
She raised her head blankly, gazing at the stars in the night sky. This was a scene that could never be seen in the end times. It was so vast, boundless, and so shocking.
After the end of the world, the sky was covered with haze, and people had not seen the sun, moon and stars for a long, long time.
In order to survive, human technology has developed rapidly. Humans have built steel cities as safe fortresses to live in and simulated artificial sun, moon, and starry sky in the cities. But fake is fake, and they can never be replaced. Many older generations feel an unspeakable sadness and regret when they mention the sun, moon, and stars they have seen before the end of the world.
Yu Li didn’t understand before.
It was not until now that she finally understood the sadness and pain of the older generation.
After a long while, Yu Li let out a light sigh and continued to grope his way to the kitchen. He found a water tank in the kitchen and scooped water from the tank with a gourd ladle and drank it into his mouth.
At this point, she no longer cared about the bad effects of drinking raw water. She felt that if she didn't drink any more water, her throat would become so dry that it would burn, and even her body and consciousness would be burned out.
The clear water slid down the throat and into the abdominal cavity, finally temporarily relieving the terrible feeling of thirst and burning.
Yu Li licked the water stains at the corners of his lips and suddenly felt that the water tasted so good. It didn’t have the unpleasant, strange smell of bleach and antidote.
She lowered her head and took a few sips of water.
Her stomach growled with hunger, and when she was sent to the Fu family in the evening, the Yu family threw her directly into the so-called bridal chamber, the room where Fu Wenxiao was. Zhou was kind enough to bring her a bowl of brown rice porridge, but the original owner was not feeling well at the time, and she couldn't hold on after eating a few mouthfuls and lay down.
Now it’s Yu Li, who just feels very hungry.
Yu Li never thought that one day he would be able to fill his stomach by just drinking water.
Although she was born in the end times, she rarely gets hungry. The food she eats is not that good. It is either nutrient solution with a weird taste or compressed dry food with a rough texture. She eats them mainly to fill her stomach and does not care about the texture or taste.
She savored the brown rice porridge the original owner had in the evening and found it very delicious.
At this time, Yu Li heard the sound of the door opening in the right wing.
She didn't move, but continued to drink water from the gourd ladle intermittently.
Soon after, footsteps reached the door of the kitchen, and a voice rang out: "Li, Li Niang, what are you doing?"
Zhou came out holding an oil lamp. She was originally worried about her youngest son who was unconscious in the room. She didn't know if this wedding would be any use. But when she went out, she heard some noise in the kitchen, so she came to check. She didn't expect to see this scene.
She said, "Li Niang, are you thirsty? There is boiling water on the table."
Zhou's voice was soft and thin, and one could tell from her voice that she was a person with a soft personality.
She came in with an oil lamp, put it on the table, then took a rough ceramic bowl, picked up the ceramic pot filled with water on the table, and poured her a bowl of cooled boiled water.
Although Yu Li had already drunk a bellyful of water, he did not refuse the water she poured.
This is unpolluted water. It has no taste and is really delicious.
Seeing her holding the rough earthenware bowl with both hands and drinking water seriously, Zhou couldn't help but find it a little funny.
She didn't know if it was because the light in the room was bad, but she actually saw a pious expression on Li Niang's face, as if the bowl of water was some kind of nectar that was particularly delicious.
After Yu Li finished drinking the water, Zhou asked again: "Do you want more?"
Yu Li handed over the bowl.
Zhou poured her another bowl and watched her drink it seriously again. When she wanted a third and fourth bowl, she couldn't help but advise her, "Li Niang, don't drink too much water, or your stomach will be bloated."
This rough pottery bowl is not small. One bowl of water will make you half full, let alone three or four bowls of water, which will make your stomach burst.
Zhou looked at Yu Li and found him to be very thin. Wouldn't his thin body feel bloated if he held so much water?
She wondered in her heart, did the Yu family not give this child any food? When the Yu family sent her here in the evening, she felt that the child was very thin, and now she seemed to be even thinner.
Yu Li was a man who listened to advice. Although he still wanted to drink, his body was no longer the body of a new human warrior in his previous life. After drinking so much water, he felt very bloated. Every time he burped, his mouth tasted like water.
Well, it's nice without the smell of bleach and antidote water.
Seeing her hiccup, Zhou wanted to laugh even more and said, "Mother Li, it's not dawn yet, you should go back to sleep."
Tonight is the wedding night, and she hopes Yu Li can stay in the room with Fu Wenxiao. If they spend more time together, maybe Fu Wenxiao will wake up tomorrow.
Yu Li was actually not used to interacting with strangers, but when she thought of Zhou's identity, according to the customs of this world, she was her mother-in-law, and they would be a family from now on, so she responded obediently.
Walking out of the kitchen, Zhou suddenly asked, "Mother Li, how is Xiaoge?"
Yu Li paused and said, "Not awake yet."
Zhou was not surprised. Although it was a wedding to bring good luck, she did not think that her youngest son would wake up immediately after she married him.
She sighed and went back to her room worriedly.
-
Yu Li also groped his way back to his room.
The room was pitch black. There was an oil lamp in the room, but Yu Li had just arrived and didn't know the situation in the room. In addition, in order to save money, the Yu family did not have any oil lamps or candles in the room where the sisters lived. They had no concept of lighting an oil lamp at all.
Yu Li groped his way to the bed and then slowly got on it.
Even after drinking so much water, she still felt uncomfortable, with a heavy head and light feet. She just wanted to lie down and rest quickly, lest she would be so weak that she couldn't even lift a large water tank. This made her very uncomfortable.
There was still a person lying on the bed. Although this person had been unconscious for several days and would not wake up and would not suddenly attack her like those pollutants and alien species, she still found it difficult to adapt and always wanted to drown out the sound of that shallow breathing.
No, you can't do that.
She warned herself that this person was not someone who could become a pollutant at any time, so there was no need to be vigilant all the time or to eliminate him immediately!
After a long while, Yu Li couldn't bear the physical discomfort anymore and finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until dawn.
She was startled by some noise outside.
Yu Li opened her eyes and listened carefully. She could hear whispers outside. It seemed to be the voices of Zhou and the two children. The voices were not loud, but she was very sensitive and could hear them from far away.
After a long while, Yu Li slowly sat up.
After waking up from a nap, her body was finally not so weak anymore, but... she clenched her hands and found that they were still soft and weak.
This made her a little disappointed. It seemed that people here couldn't recover quickly after getting sick and it took some time to recover.
The light in the room was dim. She turned her head to look at the person lying on the inside of the bed and could only vaguely see an outline and some features.
Last night was a simple wedding, which was considered the wedding night, so even though the groom was unconscious, she was still sent here.
It felt like the other person's breathing was still regular, weak and shallow, so he shouldn't have died suddenly, so Yu Li ignored him.
She slowly got out of bed, put on her clothes, opened the door and walked out.
