Although we had roughly swept the village before to ensure temporary safety, Suotian still ordered everyone to divide into three shifts to guard.

In addition to Zheng Rongrong, several of us were also included in the guard list.

In fact, it is better to say that they are guards than a few people gathered in front of the door, talking and laughing in low voices. There is not a single zombie walking around in the village, and the guards are just in case, and can respond to emergencies.

Now at this time, our eating time is no longer three meals a day. We have to eat one meal at a time in order of breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Except for eating together when the group rests, most of the time we just eat a little when we are hungry, and we don’t eat when we are not hungry. Shen Feng Yangyang’s guard time is at night, so he helps us make a fire together. It seems simple, It was quite difficult to actually do it. The two of them took turns going back and forth to put out the fire. Finally, after hearing the noise and coming to watch the excitement, Suo Tian came out and finally put out the fire. of burning up.

In the afternoon, with the joint efforts of several people, we finally cooked more than half a pot of thick rice porridge. (Those who have lived in rural areas should know that the pots are usually very large.)

It had been so long since I had seen hot food. The aroma of rice porridge rushed into my nose, and my saliva almost dripped into the pot.

When I was serving the rice, I found that there were not enough bowls and they were all very dirty. I searched around and only found some porcelain spoons. I wasted a small bottle of water and simply rinsed them. A group of people simply used three layers inside and three outside. Go around the pot and eat directly with a spoon towards the pot.

A group of us ate so happily that we felt sorry for the people guarding outside. They all stretched their necks to look at us, with expressions like "Eat slowly and save some" in their eyes. I I accidentally looked outside and saw all the old men carrying guns, all showing such pitiful looks, which really made people laugh.

Looking at the people around me who usually had expressionless faces, but at this moment they became very happy because of a pot of simple rice porridge, I felt a little hypocritical, and couldn't help but sigh.

The ancients often said that "food is the first necessity for the people" is indeed true. Considering the past from our current perspective, it is indeed the case. No matter what world we are facing now, no matter how hard life is, no matter how many years we are in, A few hours ago, so many of us just fought a fierce battle with the zombies. At this moment, everyone can at least talk and laugh around a pot of rice porridge. This may be why so many of us are struggling to survive. That's the purpose of going down.

In the past, I have always called for enjoying life. I always had a slightly sarcastic attitude towards this. I always felt that the so-called enjoyment was only reserved for the rich. Ordinary people like us could only enjoy life. And there is no such thing as enjoyment in life.

But now my view has indeed turned 180 degrees. The original call for enjoying life is actually true in the final analysis. It’s just that at that time, we paid too much attention to certain things in life, so that we ignored the life itself. It's fun, so there are so many people shouting all day long about how hard life is, how tiring life is, and how unfair fate and God are to them.

If we trace the source of these sufferings and tiredness, they are nothing more than material insufficiency and psychological greed.

Shaking my head, I retreated from the kitchen and stood in the yard. The snow was still falling heavily. There was already a thick layer in the yard, covering it to the depth of my ankles. I followed the footprints I had made before and headed towards

Walk to the assigned room. After eating and drinking, you should lie down.

The structure of the houses in this yard is quite interesting. Except for the gate, the other three directions are all covered with bungalows, which just surround the yard. I really don’t know how many people there are in this family, so they need to build so many houses.

come out.

As soon as I ran under the eaves and prepared to enter the house, I suddenly thought for some reason that many families in the countryside would dig a cellar not far from the house to store some food, mostly cabbage and sweet potatoes.

This kind of thing. I saw it many times at my grandma's house when I was a child, but my grandma always scared me that there was a ghost catching children in that hole, so I never dared to climb in and take a look.

If we can really find the cellar and there are really things stored in it, then we will be in great luck!

I roughly calculated the time in my mind. When the chaos first broke out, the sky had just cooled down slightly. Did someone store things in the cellar at that time? After doing this calculation, I could not guess whether there was something in the cellar, but suddenly something happened.

I discovered that today is actually New Year’s Eve!

I looked back at the kitchen, which was still noisy, and smiled knowingly. Maybe God thought it was very difficult for us people to survive, so he designed such a coincidence to bring us here. Maybe those rice porridges

This is the New Year gift it gives us.

When Shen Xue and Xu Shu returned to the house with Zheng Rongrong who had eaten and drank enough, I was already wrapped in a quilt and somewhat drowsy.

"It's so delicious!" Zheng Rongrong smacked his lips and exclaimed as soon as he came in from outside. Zheng Yiyi seemed to understand her words and barked out "woof, woof" twice.

I shrank my neck under the quilt, opened my eyes and glanced at a few of them.

After Shen Xue took off Zheng Rongrong's little cotton-padded jacket, she patted her butt to signal her to get into my bed. I lifted the quilt a little, and Zheng Rongrong immediately got in like a little loach.

Shen Xue and Xu Shu also lay down on the quilt next to them. We were lying on a long kang connected together, so it was relatively comfortable for four people to sleep.

"Chen Yang, please tell me if we should go look elsewhere tomorrow, maybe we can find some food and come back." Shen Xue's quilt was not warm, and she was trembling a little as she spoke.

"Of course we have to look for them. This village has such natural conditions and there are not many walking corpses. If you don't search for them, wouldn't you be a fool?" Xu Shu continued.

I nodded: "That is to say, it is rare to have such a good opportunity. Suotian and his group are not stupid. Even if we don't tell them, they will order people to find it."

"Oh~ that's good." After Shen Xue sighed happily, she turned to me who was sleeping in the middle and asked: "Chen Yang, tell me, it's actually good for us to live here for a long time, right?

?When the weather gets warmer, you can still plant something in the ground in front of you. It’s remote here and there won’t be any zombies here like before. It’s so cool for us people to live happily in isolation here.

?”

Before I could answer, Xu Shu replied: "It seems quite comfortable now. It seems to us that this place is indeed remote enough, but those walking zombies don't know what remoteness means. There are no walls or other things to block it. Nothing is here."

It can only be called temporary safety."

"But when we came here, weren't there any walking corpses here?"

"They were probably attracted by the group of zombies in front of them. Let's not talk about that group of zombies. Compared with the population of the country, the number is just a drop in the bucket. If there is another group of zombies with a larger number, they will come over and kill them.

Hiding in a village like this can only be said to be waiting for death."

Shen Xue curled her lips and wanted to say something else, but after thinking for a while, she probably felt that what Xu Shu said made sense, so she could only respond with a strong voice: "That's right."

After listening to the conversation between the two of them, I thought this was a real-life version of innocence meeting reality.

Zheng Rongrong was lying in my arms and was already a little confused. I pulled the quilt upwards, covered her more tightly, and then said to Shen Xue: "Suotian and the others have to want to stay, look at their route."

The settings are very orderly. If it weren't for the heavy snow, we would still have to follow them. They must have a destination to go to."

Shen Xue's expression was stunned, and she seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly: "Didn't Suotian tell you where we are going?"

I shook my head: "I never said that."

"Please! Why don't you know how to ask?" Shen Xue looked at me helplessly.

"Didn't I never expect this?" I pretended to be innocent.

In fact, I didn’t expect it? I have always wanted to know where Suotian and the others are going and who they are, but I know what Suotian is like. Whatever he wants to tell you, he will tell you without asking.

You, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to tell you, then don't even think about asking anything out of his mouth.

However... this also involves another question. He has never told us where he is going. Does he have no intention of taking us to the place he wants to go? If this is the case, then what is his plan in mind?

of?

Did you leave some of us behind when you were walking halfway?

It's not impossible. Didn't he tell anyone about it when he left?

"Speaking of this, I took a look at Suotian's map last time. Judging from the traces drawn on it, it seems to be heading towards Yunnan." Xu Shu suddenly spoke at the side.

Shen Xue hurriedly pushed herself up and asked her, "Have you seen it? Do you know where the destination is?"

Xu Shu shook her head and said: "I only saw the words "Yunnan Province" on the album. I don't know the specific location, and it's just a guess. Maybe Suo Tian just happened to turn to that side."

Shen Xue lay back down a little frustrated.

I didn't answer anymore. I looked at Shen Xue who was still muttering after lying back. I suddenly remembered that she seemed to be a different person this morning. I was about to ask a question, but I thought that Xu Shu was still there, so I decided to have a question.

Ask her again when you have a chance.
