Chapter 97:
When they were shoveling the snow the next day, they deliberately went around to the back. The members of the Huang family probably wanted to gossip. Everyone was taken away and no one was left behind. The Huang family could see clearly from inside the house. The old and the young were carried into the car. The car was a quarantine car, and the soldiers who came to take people away were still wearing protective gear. Clothes.
Probably due to the feud between the two families, the second son of the Huang family gloated a little and said, "I don\'t think there is such a good thing in the world. Meat falls from the sky for you to eat. These people are really brainless. If that pig goes to After exchanging points, at least I can exchange some rice grains, which is good, greedy mouth has greeded myself in."
Mu Nan and the others just listened to the Huang family\'s schadenfreude, mainly wanting to know what happened.
Not two days later, when the body temperature was checked again, every household was issued leaflets. The leaflets mainly educated about diseases caused by eating meat of unknown origin. It is said that the wild boar eaten by the Qi family was sick. Everyone who ate it in my family got intestinal anthrax, which is an acute attack. If it cannot be treated in time, it will die in three to five days. This infectious disease is passed through some sick animals, through feces or food Infecting the human body, there will be a certain degree of transmission between people, but the transmission is relatively small, mainly from animals to humans.
The leaflet lists the consequences of eating wild game. Those wild animals have not been vaccinated, have not been quarantined, and may even carry a variety of viruses. It can be said that there have been many large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases in human history. It is caused by the germs carried by these wild animals, so if people pick up frozen to death, or even hunted wild animals, they must not eat them at will, because there is a fatal risk.
Looking at the flyer, Mu Nan said, "Then shall we go hunting? I thought wild game was pangolin, bats, and wild boar. Those with the word "wild" can be classified as wild game?"
Qin Huai said: "The ones that have not been raised by humans are all wild game. It is indeed risky to eat wild animals, but you can still try hunting. The live animals caught by hunting are always safer than dead meat that freezes to death for unknown reasons. I am afraid that those wild animals are not safe to eat, and you can also use hunted animals to exchange for points. The military should have a method of inspection, and they must have a standard for whether they can eat or not."
Mu Nan sighed, thinking that if they hunted, they would be able to eat meat openly, but their feelings were still not good: "I didn\'t eat the alpacas before, and the soldiers helped to dismember them. Why didn\'t they give us the harm of popular science game at that time?" .”
Qin Huai smiled and said, "Because we don\'t have wild alpacas here. They are raised in zoos or in families, and they will basically be vaccinated."
Several members of the Qi family came back later, and the two with the most serious illnesses disappeared. One was that Qi Kangmin’s mother had underlying diseases, including high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, diarrhea to dehydration and even **** diarrhea, which caused various organs in the body to fail. It was too good, no one was rescued, and the child was relatively young. It is estimated that the adults in the family were reluctant to eat and let the child eat too much, which actually hurt him. The other people are in good health. The treatment was fairly timely, and the person was rescued, but the family, whose composition was already complicated, also completely fell apart.
Qi Kangmin\'s wife and children, father-in-law and mother-in-law, went straight into the greenhouse, threatening to have nothing to do with him in the future, and his younger sister\'s family also had a feud with Qi Kangmin. Although his sister and brother-in-law dragged the wild boar back, they were also worried about the meat What\'s the problem, so even if the child is greedy, he hesitated not to give more, but Qi Kangmin, I don\'t know what kind of mentality it is, maybe he wants to annoy his wife, so he takes revenge by loving his nephew and deliberately ignoring his daughter , and coaxed the children to eat a lot of meat, but their son disappeared. How could Qi Kangmin\'s younger sister and her husband accept this.
If Qi\'s father hadn\'t been around and suppressed this matter, they would have fought each other long ago, but even if they didn\'t, Qi Kangmin would have to pay for his son\'s death in the eyes of his younger sister and her husband. It\'s a big responsibility, so don\'t think about dividing the family, just make up for it by being a cow and a horse.
When the building in the back was busy every day, Qin Huai finished the plumbing in the house, and the heat passed through the stove on the first floor to the second and third floors smoothly. The greenhouse in the house could finally keep the temperature at ten degrees. Around this temperature, the tomatoes and peppers are enough. After the equipment in the house was done, the few people began to discuss going out to hunt, but before that, the treat that Mu Nan had promised them was finally fulfilled.
Wu Zheng is also well-trained and can walk around now, like shoveling snow and staying outside for a long time, there is no way, but it\'s okay to walk around, lest Qin Huai and the others have to move things around, so I just came here .
Although it was said that it was Qinhuai\'s family treat, it is impossible to come to the door empty-handed, but if you want to talk about good things, there is nothing good to give at home. Wu Zheng and the others sent a bag of snacks. Yes, after the exchange, Song Jia was not willing to eat. She bought a lot at the time, but Song Jia only ate one bag now. They didn\'t have anything to sell when they came to the door, so they donated the snacks.
They sent two sets of warm clothes to Jian Chu, one set of Qinhuai size and one set of Mu Nan\'s size, both of which can be used directly now, Xu Ming is the easiest, just brought a bag of flour weighing ten catties , he has a lot of work points, and even the hospital\'s internal purchase quota. Not to mention the most in terms of food, at least for the time being, he has no worries about food, but he is too lazy to do it, so he accepts more, like the beans made by Qin Huai and the others before. Both silk and sticky bean buns were given to him a lot. Last time he didn\'t do anything for others and was called over for dinner. He remembered all these. A bag of flour was just coming and going.
With the current conditions, there is no way to make any big meals. The things that can be taken out are all available in the redemption point. Qin Huai made a cured chicken soup, added some vermicelli, and made a pot of tomatoes. The tomatoes are fresh tomatoes , with ham and luncheon meat as the base, mainly for soup, warm and meaty soup, and a sip is also very satisfying.
The staple food is relatively simple, scallion pancakes, scallions naturally don’t have scallions, and Mu Nan doesn’t grow scallions, but Qin Huai chopped green peppers and mixed them in, and sprinkled some chili noodles. It was spicy, and I ordered a large pot of duck blood vermicelli. The duck blood vermicelli was purchased at the point of exchange. It contained duck blood and some duck offal soup dumplings. After the exchange, Mu Nan ate it once, and it was all good. It’s not bad, so I took out two boxes this time, and added a lot of vermicelli, which is a big pot of staple food. There is no dessert after the meal, and it’s enough to eat everything, such as sticky bean buns Qin Huai and the others didn\'t take it out, but the last one gave a tomato.
Holding the tomatoes, Jian Chu\'s eyes were about to burst into tears: "I originally thought about giving it a try, and I didn\'t force it if I couldn\'t grow it, but now, I decided to take good care of those pots, and I must grow tomatoes and peppers. How long has it been since I ate such a fresh thing, and I am reluctant to eat it."
Mu Nan smiled and said, "From now on, you can eat it every day after planting it."
Song Jia collapsed on the chair and hiccupped: "Life is still a little bit of hope. For this period of time, a full meal makes people want to work hard to live."
Wu Zheng on the side held a soup bowl and said to them: "Substitute soup for wine. I haven\'t thanked you for what happened last time. My life was picked up by you. I won\'t say much. I won\'t say much in the future. It was a deadly friendship."
Xu Ming said: "The one who really wants to thank you is your brother. During this period of time, your brother\'s family has worked hard enough. When you encounter problems in the future, don\'t think about it all at once, and think about the people who really care about you."
Wu Zheng said: "No, this time, it\'s enough to break it clean."
Jian Chu said: "Let\'s let the past go, today is a happy day, don\'t mention those disappointing things." Said and looked at Mu Nan with a smile in his eyes: "There is no such condition now, otherwise there will be trouble. Nao, now I can only give some simple blessings, I wish you and Qin Huai a long, safe and peaceful life!"
Mu Nan inexplicably had the illusion that he and Qin Huai were married, Qin Huai accepted the blessing with a smile, Xu Ming said: "After this meal, I\'m already looking forward to the next meal." He said and looked at Jian Chu and Yu Zibai.
If it was when he and Yu Zibai were just together, he might have been shy for a while, but now that he has been with Yu Zibai for so long, the initial shyness period has passed, and he said generously: "Then you have to wait Now, we have to wait until we save up some money, or we won\'t be able to afford such a meal like yours."
Song Jia said: "I hope next time I can eat meat."
Speaking of meat, Yu Zibai looked at Qin Huai: "So you decided to go hunting?" They have been making tools at home for the past few days, but using homemade bows and arrows doesn\'t seem to be very effective. Yu Zibai said: "If the tools we make are rabbits and deer, they might be okay. What if we encounter wild boars and bears?"
Now there is not even a tree that can be climbed outside. If you really want to encounter some ferocious beasts, it is difficult to run in such a thick snow.
Qin Huai said: "You can rent a car, but the points are relatively high. Twenty points will bring fuel to rent for a day, but you have to mortgage something."
Jian Chu: "mortgage things? What? Can\'t you mortgage points?"
Qin Huai shook his head: "Not yet, because the identity has not been updated systematically, you have mortgaged all the points, if you can get a snowmobile, it is also a profit, so you have to mortgage the corresponding items, I asked , just the solar on our roof, the mortgage is not to be removed, the solar is there, if we drive the car and never come back, they can just come and remove everything in the house.”
They really didn\'t expect that they could still rent a car now. They hadn\'t thought about renting a car at all before. It is estimated that Qin Huai started to make plans when he planned to go hunting, so he would ask about it when he checked his temperature. As for the matter, if we talk about the plan, Qin Huai\'s plan is more comprehensive. According to what Jian Chu thought before, a group of people searched on foot nearby.
Hearing Jian Chu\'s exclamation, Mu Nan couldn\'t help but said: "Behind us is the river embankment, past the river embankment is a flat land, with no end in sight and no obstacles, and the other side is the reconstruction area, where all the people live, really If you have to walk on foot, you can’t even get out of the residential area, so what can you hunt.”
Xu Ming said: "Is the car rented every day, or can it be rented for a few days at a time?" Qin Huai: "It can only be two or three days, and it won\'t work any longer. You can only reserve an extra portion of gasoline. If you do a casual calculation like this, Including the reserved gasoline, you need at least 100 points to go out once, and this time you may not be able to gain anything, and the price is not cheap in general.” The most common type of work only earns thirty or fifty a month, and this trip once It\'s just two months\' salary, but it\'s worth it if you can gain something.
Jane Chu looked at them: "Then shall we go?"
Xu Ming said: "I want to try it. Even if there is no gain, at least we can go to a farther place to see what\'s going on outside now. We live in the frame of this three-acre land. do not know anything."
Qin Huai nodded: "I think so too, you guys should think about it, you don\'t need to make a decision right now, you can\'t go out right away, the wind and snow are relatively heavy recently, at least we have to wait until the weather is a little calmer."
There are not enough seats in the car for all to go out, so for the first time, one family must stay, because Song Jia can bring the dog with her, so Jian Chu decided that they will stay first this time, just in time for them to check the situation, When they go out again, they will have previous experience.
If you want to go out, you need to have a complete set of equipment, at least enough to eat and drink along the way, small milk pot, fuel for the stove, homemade crossbow and mechanical crossbow, protection from the cold and heating, anyway, basically everything you can bring with you, Now Wu Zheng can take care of himself at home, and there is no need for Song Jia to watch over him all the time. It happens that Song Jia can take Niu Niu out to get used to it. Niu Niu is a breed of dog that already has a hunting instinct, and it is a good idea to train more. helper.
Choosing a weather with less wind and snow, Qin Huai went to Building No. 1 with Xu Ming first, because the car was already ready because of the greeting in advance, it was a modified pickup truck, it should be an obsolete military one After getting off, the wheels were replaced with snow wheels, and the loading space at the back was not small, but it was open-air without a roof, and the snow in the compartment had to be cleaned every day.
The soldiers also reminded them that they must not turn off the engine on the road. Once turned off, it will be difficult to start again. In order to ensure the safety of himself and others, Qin Huai gave the soldiers a copy of the route they would walk. If they delay outside for a long time If you don\'t come back, even if you don\'t want to save people, you can just come and look for a car.
Seeing how well prepared they were, the soldier laughed, accepted Qin Huai\'s road map, and said, "You should also be careful, although you are not the first to go hunting like this, but there are not many of them. Remember to look clearly outside, don’t think that something moving in the ice and snow is a beast, it may be a human.”
Qin Huai nodded: "Don\'t worry."
After the handover, Qin Huai drove back to pick up Mu Nan and Song Jia. The two of them had been waiting at the door of their house early. When they heard the sound of the car, they quickly took the things out of the house and sat in the car door as soon as they opened. , Xu Ming sat in the co-pilot, he wanted to read the map and control the route for Qin Huai, Song Jia and Mu Nan sat in the back, the big luggage was placed under the rear seat of the car, the space inside the car was quite large , put the luggage and still have a girl.
It is possible to spend the night outside during this trip. Anyway, they planned three days and two nights. The specific situation will be seen at that time. If the first night is too cold, they will come back during the day.
Mu Nan gave Song Jia that kind of miniature telescope. Although it is a miniature one, it can see very far, but it doesn\'t have as many professional functions. The professional one was given to Xu Ming. He felt that Xu Ming\'s observation ability must be better than that of They are strong, and they may play a greater role in Xu Ming\'s hands.
Niuniu is very good in the car, squatting under the car seat without making noise, Mu Nan couldn\'t help but patted the dog\'s head and forced it to look at her: "Niuniu, you have to behave well, everyone has meat to eat." It\'s up to you, you know?"
Song Jia stroked Niu Niu\'s back hair and said with a smile: "Niu Niu said, I have shouldered too much for this family hahahahahaha."
The two were teasing the dog in the back, while Xu Ming in the front carefully looked at the map: "The chance of encountering animals in the direction of Qiyang Avenue is indeed relatively high. It is surrounded by mountains, and the zoo was built around the mountains before. Let\'s not meet wolves."
Mu Nan poked his head out from behind: "Can we outrun the pack of wolves with a car?"
Xu Ming said: "It\'s hard to say. Wolves are legendary animals. Their spiritual intelligence is no less than that of human beings. They can persist in one thing until they die. If it is a pack of hungry wolves, they will not give up on what is in front of them." Food, so if you see wolves outside, even in the car, you have to leave as soon as possible, you can’t provoke them, they are united, and they are more difficult to provoke than tigers and leopards.”
Mu Nan snorted, "Then I hope we don\'t encounter wolves."
After a while, Mu Nan said again: "Wolf meat is game, right?"
Xu Ming said with a smile: "Of course, if you really hunt it, the wolf skin is actually more valuable than the wolf meat. For the sake of safety, it is best to send the animals hunted outside to the military department. If they can pass the quality inspection, we will You can change it back to eat, and now there are still conditions for quality inspection, so don’t eat indiscriminately if you can, the people of the Qi family are a lesson from the past.”
Song Jia said: "Then I also hope that we can hunt it down. Make a wish, this trip will have a good harvest!" They had exchanged a lot of points through canned food before, and they also accumulated a little bit after going out to work. The points are small compared to others Family background, but for this trip, each family spent about 30 to 40 points after sharing it. Although I was mentally prepared to get nothing, it would be better if I could hunt some animals.
It was easy to drive in the residential area. The soldiers patrol here every day, and a road has been carved out. When it slowly drives towards the no-man\'s land, the road will be difficult, and the more untouched it is. , the deeper the snow cover, fortunately, besides them, there are also some people renting cars like this during this period, so they can still drive along the traces of the past, otherwise after the earthquake, once the snow is covered, it is easy to fall into the pit.
When the traces on the snow became shallower and shallower, Qin Huai drove more carefully and at a very slow speed. The main purpose was to cover the snow and prevent stepping on the pit. Xu Ming said to the two people behind: "Look carefully. Snow, if you look at it from a distance, if there are traces of beasts walking by not long ago, you can see some traces on the snow."
Mu Nan and Song Jia leaned on one car window and looked out. Fortunately, both of them have good eyesight, and they can see clearly when holding a small telescope, but there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, except for snow or snow. ,Nothing at all.
After driving for several hours, they finally drove to Qiyang Avenue. Qiyang Avenue is a road leading to the zoo. The surrounding area is very deserted. The snow covered half of it, but I could still tell the direction a little bit. When I got on the avenue, Qin Huai and Xu Ming changed each other. Walking this kind of snowy road requires a high degree of concentration, which is too energy-consuming, so I have to change after a few hours. Give your hands a break.
Mu Nan hurriedly brought food and drink to Qin Huai, and said to Xu Ming, "If you\'re tired, I will drive instead. My driving skills are also pretty good. If you don\'t believe me, you can ask my brother."
Qin Huai smiled: "Your eyesight is better than mine, we have to count on you whether we can gain anything."
Mu Nan, who was rejected in a disguised form, snorted. When the sky became dark, everyone still found nothing, let alone animals along the way, not even a single bird flew in the sky. That excited little heart, after this day\'s wear and tear, has become a little cool now.
Seeing that Song Jia was a little silent, thinking that it would not be easy for him and his brother to accumulate some points, it might be a bit painful for this to be a waste of time, Mu Nan couldn\'t help comforting him: "Just come out to let the wind go, all day long It\'s boring to stay at home."
Qin Huai in front said: "We need to find a place to stay, the snow is falling heavily."
Xu Ming glanced out the window: "The endless white snow doesn\'t even have a single building."
Mu Nan held the binoculars and said, "Brother, I seem to see the light."
Qin Huai turned around: "Where?"
Mu Nan pointed in a direction, and Qin Huai looked over with a binoculars: "It seems to be a resident over there?"
Song Jia also looked over with the binoculars, and could vaguely see a warm yellow spot: "Are we going there?"
Qin Huai shook his head: "I don\'t recommend going there. Where there are people, it may not be safe."
Xu Ming said: "But if we don\'t go there, where are we going to rest today, it\'s impossible to sleep in the car, and it\'s impossible to drive all night."
Song Jia and Mu Nan sat in the back without saying a word. Let the two \'parents\' in front discuss matters that need to be decided. They only have to be obedient.
