Chapter 9 Found a flatbed cart
It was probably after those people in the team came back that they heard their elderly, weak, women and children talking about the Shi family's tarpaulin.
There were several men lingering outside the Shi family's tarpaulin.
Just yesterday they righteously accused Chen Laoer and others, saying that Chen Laoer was doing his job.
But today it seems like no one remembers what they said yesterday.
Shi Yuebai sat behind the tarpaulin.
His eyes, squeezed into two slits by fat, stared coldly at the dirty, calm tarpaulin.
Beside her, Shi Yaoyao and Shi Ersao had already fallen asleep leaning against her.
Because the body is infused with abundant energy.
This energy is pure and contains only the energy needed for body functions.
This makes their bodies feel very comfortable, as if they are soaked in amniotic fluid.
The two people, who had been exposed to radiation in the wasteland for a long time and were in very poor health, were as comfortable as two skinny pigs, one big and one small, sleeping soundly.
Shi Yuebai moved quietly.
But for someone with her base weight, losing ten pounds in two or three days wouldn't have much of an effect.
Shi Yuebai supported himself on the gravel-covered ground with his thick palms and moved a little bit with great difficulty.
The thick fat pressed on the small stone, but Shi Yuebai didn't feel any pain.
She reached out and grabbed the stick that her second sister-in-law was holding.
In the dark night, he was fiddling with the pebbles on the ground one by one.
Then he quietly pressed the stone on the ground into the ground.
In this way, the stones on the ground will not be easily moved.
After fixing the stones around him, Shi Yuebai leaned on the stick with both hands and tried to lift his buttocks to stand up.
Without success.
But Yuebai was not discouraged.
God knows how much effort she used in trying to stand up.
Even though her butt didn't lift even a little bit, she worked hard all night without getting discouraged...
She needs to stand up as soon as possible and be able to move.
Otherwise, this bad start will continue to torment her.
The men outside the tarpaulin did not hear any sound from the Shi family's tarpaulin.
There was no sound that could arouse any imagination.
They found it boring, but were unwilling to be the first to step forward and break the team rules.
Finally left in disappointment.
At dawn, after a good sleep, Yaoyao opened her eyes and looked.
I don't know when my aunt moved, but she finally moved to the top of the gravel depression.
The energetic sister-in-law groped with both hands,
"Yuebai, Yuebai, where have you been?"
Shi Yaoyao under his feet had already moved.
She crawled along a track that her aunt had moved last night, using her little paws.
There were traces of blood on the track that my aunt had moved out.
Those were the gravel along the way that scraped Shi Yuebai's skin and fat, leaving behind bloodstains.
Shi Yaoyao also climbed up to the top of the gravel depression,
"aunt."
The little girl's speech today is a little clearer than yesterday.
But the difference is not significant.
Shi Yuebai looked at the little girl with a smile as she climbed up the rubble, leaving tiny blood marks on her two little hands.
“That’s awesome!”
Not only did Shi Yuebai not feel sorry for Shi Yaoyao, he even patted her head encouragingly.
"Look, Yaoyao, even if we can't walk, as long as we try hard, we can still see different scenery."
She pointed to the back of the gravel depression, where a flatbed truck, once used to transport goods, was parked.
The flatbed cart was in a terrible state of disrepair.
But if you pick it up, you should still be able to use it.
The main thing is that now there is only this badly damaged flatbed cart.
Shi Yuebai couldn't find anything else that could get him and Shi Yaoyao moving.
Shi Ersao groped her way and climbed up the rubble pile while listening to the voices of Shi Yaoyao and Shi Yuebai.
She followed Shi Yuebai's instructions, climbed over the rubble, and picked up the flatbed cart.
"All four wheels are broken."
Shi Ersao touched the flatbed cart with empty eyes.
"We need to find someone to fix it. I know someone who can."
There's a crazy weirdo in the tarpaulin next door.
When other people go out to scavenge, they are looking for food and drink.
Only this weirdo would often come back with scraps of iron wire, coils, and all sorts of broken computers and motherboards that couldn't be used...
He was so hungry that he was skin and bones. He often lost his dignity and ran to various tents to beg for food.
The Shi family gave him food several times.
But because Shi Yuebai is such a bottomless pit, the Shi family themselves can't even get enough to eat.
Not to mention providing long-term support to this weirdo.
Shi Yuebai: "Give him the points card, and he will definitely help us repair this flatbed cart."
A look of distress appeared on Shi Ersao's face.
It was not easy to accumulate those points cards I got from Chen Laoer.
She hasn't even warmed up these points cards yet.
Shi Yuebai made the final decision, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child."
"Second sister-in-law, give him those points cards. If he can fix it, we will definitely be able to use people like him in the future."
"We have to take good care of him."
Shi Ersao had no choice but to carry the broken flatbed cart and the stack of points cards wrapped in a dirty handkerchief.
Found the weirdo under the tarp next door.
The weirdo's tarpaulin was huge, bulging with all sorts of spare parts.
Even those parts, rubber bands, damaged books, blueprints, etc. that I have no idea what they are used for...
It has already piled up from the top of his tarpaulin to the outside of the tarpaulin.
Because he produced so much garbage, it was also unbearable for the people in the team.
So he, like the people of the Shi family, was exiled to an area far away from the team.
Shi Ersao found him and just explained her purpose.
The strange man said in a hoarse voice,
"I don't want a points card. It will bring me trouble."
He knew where the Shi family's points cards came from.
In fact, he lived next to the Shi family's tarpaulin.
But he said nothing.
When the men in the team asked what happened in Shi's family, he didn't say a word.
He did not even mention that he saw with his own eyes that Shi Ersao, a blind woman, dumped the bodies of the eldest and second sons of the Chen family and several others to another place.
Shi Ersao asked anxiously, "What do you want?"
The skinny weirdo laughed.
"I want food from your family, I want food from you family, I want food from you family."
He hadn't eaten in days and all he wanted was food.
Shi Ersao frowned tightly and groped her way back to find Shi Yuebai to discuss the matter.
The pile of small potatoes from the Shi family was still piled in the corner.
Two or three days have passed, but there has been no movement.
If it were in the past, it would have been absolutely impossible.
With Shi Yuebai's appetite, this pile of small potatoes is not enough for her to eat in one meal.
But Shi Yuebai immediately made the decision, "Give him one and say that we don't have enough food at home."
"But if he can help us repair things in the future, and if we have a bite to eat, he will definitely be there for us."
