Chapter 13 Now we should add the word "stupid"
Shi Ersao is far less optimistic than Shi Yuebai.
He really wanted to tell Shi Yuebai that all the food the three of them had now was the small bag of potatoes on Shi Yaoyao's back.
When thinking about this, the second sister-in-law suddenly realized that from the time she received the bad news that the man of the Shi family had an accident until now.
She, Shi Yaoyao and Shi Yuebai seemed to have never eaten anything.
The sky was already bright, although the sun was hidden in the dark gray clouds.
But visibility is much better than it was a few hours ago.
Many scavengers came to the newly reclaimed land
Some of them are from their own team.
Seeing these sick and disabled people in the Shi family, they were still confused while the second sister-in-law greeted them.
"Daughter-in-law of the Shi Er family, if you need any help, come and find us."
"Come over even if you're hungry."
"You are always welcome if you wish."
After saying this, the men in the distance gave Shi Ersao a smile that could only be understood but not described.
Shi Yuebai's face darkened, and Shi Ersao frowned tightly.
She didn't answer, nor did she dare to answer.
A beautiful woman in the wasteland is dangerous, and a beautiful woman without a man to rely on is even more dangerous.
Shi Ersao had to take Shi Yuebai and Shi Yaoyao back to the bridge pier, and she didn't dare to talk back to those men.
Fortunately, it was broad daylight, and the men who teased her didn't dare to go too far.
The second sister-in-law stood there for a while, calming down the anger and fear in her heart.
"Yuebai, how about we change places?"
"What to change? This place is fine."
Shi Yuebai looked down at the long stick in his hand, and waved to Shi Yaoyao who was placed beside him.
"Do you remember the stone your aunt told you to find?"
Shi Yaoyao nodded obediently.
"From now on, you have a new task, which is to find many stones of that size."
"No matter how many there are, bring them all here."
Shi Yaoyao immediately put away the precious little mirror in her hand and began to search in the rubble for the small stone of the same size that her aunt wanted.
At that time, Second Sister-in-law thought that there was no food to be found in this area.
But she suggested changing the place, Shi Yuebai refused, and Shi Ersao had no other choice.
She could only ask Shi Yuebai,
"Then Yuebai, do you want to eat something?"
Shi Yuebai shook his head, "Not hungry."
Well, Shi Ersao didn’t feel hungry either, so she looked at Shi Yaoyao again.
According to the normal time sequence, Shi Yaoyao should be hungry.
Maybe the second sister-in-law was immersed in the grief of losing her husband these days and didn't care about Shi Yaoyao's belly.
Is Shi Yaoyao too hungry?
"If you're worried, just take out the two moderately radioactive potatoes in your backpack and eat them."
Shi Yuebai turned around, sat on the flatbed cart, and continued to turn over the stones in front of him with a long stick.
I didn't find any food, but I did find a lot of miscellaneous bottles and jars.
Shi Ersao hesitated and struggled for a long time before she took out a potato with moderate radioactive contamination from her pocket.
【Detection: 0% radiation contaminated potatoes. 】
The radiation detector on my wrist suddenly announced.
Shi Ersao lowered her head in surprise, although she could not see anything.
"Moon, white moon, white moon..."
It was clear from testing that the two potatoes in her pocket were moderately contaminated with radiation.
How could potatoes become radiation-free after just one night?
Shi Ersao was so surprised that she couldn't finish her words.
Shi Yuebai turned back impatiently, "What's the big deal?"
"Isn't it common sense that food will settle over time, increasing or decreasing its radiation contamination?"
Everyone in the wasteland knows it.
Shi Ersao opened her mouth and said, "But..."
But all they had seen were foods left out in the sun or exposed to the air, where radiation contamination was gradually increasing.
I have never seen food that can reduce radiation pollution.
Besides, it’s only been a short time.
But Shi Ersao didn't dare to ask any more questions, as Shi Yuebai had clearly shown that he was unwilling to answer.
She was afraid that if she asked too many questions, Shi Yuebai would get angry.
Since the potatoes in my hand have become radiation-free, it is impossible to give them to Shi Yaoyao.
Shi Ersao took out another potato from her pocket for testing, and it was also a potato with zero radiation contamination.
She couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
When the second sister-in-law was thinking, she whispered to Yuebai,
"Why don't we go to the big city tomorrow and sell these two potatoes with zero radiation contamination."
"This way we can exchange it for 200 potatoes with low to medium levels of radioactive contamination."
"Maybe there's more."
Shi Yuebai hummed and pulled out a towel from the ruins.
It was still a towel in its packaging bag, never opened.
"what ever."
After getting Shi Yuebai's consent, Shi Ersao happily put away the two precious potatoes.
She turned around and groped around, putting her hand on Shi Yaoyao's head.
"Yaoyao, eat this."
Shi Ersao suppressed her heartache and took out a highly radioactive potato from Shi Yaoyao's backpack.
As a mother, she knew that feeding her daughter food contaminated with high radiation would cause great harm to Shi Yaoyao's health.
But there is no way, people have to live.
Live until the day you have to die.
When that day comes, perhaps they will all be free.
Shi Yaoyao took it obediently.
In fact, she was not hungry and did not want to eat bitter potatoes.
But when her mother asked her to eat, Shi Yaoyao said nothing and opened her mouth to bite.
Shi Yuebai stretched out his hand and said, "Wipe off the dirt on the outside before eating."
She took the highly radioactive potato from Shi Yaoyao's hand and purified it in her hand.
Then it was handed over to Shi Yaoyao.
Shi Yaoyao was obedient and ate the purified potatoes in her hand bite by bite.
Shi Ersao felt very sad and didn't dare to stay there any longer.
She gritted her teeth, wiped her tears, and continued to grope in the ruins.
Shi Ersao secretly swore in her heart that she must use the two 0-degree radiation-contaminated potatoes in her pocket.
Exchange them for many potatoes with low to medium levels of radiation contamination.
This way, my daughter won't have to eat highly radioactive potatoes for a long time.
But the three women in the family did not bring back any food when they went out to scavenge that day.
Instead, he brought a lot of daily necessities.
From a basin large enough for an adult to squat down in, to a porcelain cup or towel for drinking water.
Yuebai even found a box of brand new, unopened toothbrushes.
The three women worked hard to carry these things back to the team.
The people in the team almost laughed their heads off.
"These three sick and weak should now be described as stupid."
"What's the use of these things that can't be eaten or drunk?"
