Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 322: Natural Disasters and Doomsday Cannon Fodder (30)
After the meal, the family's emotions were mostly relieved.
Wei Minzhi was fully revived again, and her eloquence was restored. She dragged the three still timid children to play in the tent, leaving Wei's father and mother and Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Let's go back and sleep first. The authorities said we should rest for two days, so we're not in a hurry to leave." They were also in no hurry to leave, as they had plenty of time.
Wei's father interrupted and sent Wei Mingyu back to the tent.
Wei Mingyu didn't hesitate and rubbed his eyes, which couldn't be opened. "Okay, let's talk about the journey after I have a good rest."
No matter how hard it was, they made it through, and there was no need to dwell on the dangerous past now.
Wei Mingyu stood up and returned to the tent, but after a while, he could hear a steady snoring sound.
There were three people left at the table. Wei's mother sent Shen Yao to the car and said, "You've been busy for a long time. Let your father and I take care of this."
The two old people couldn't contribute much, and could only do some trivial things within their ability to make Shen Yao and the others feel more relaxed. For example, after eating, Wei's mother planned to wash and put away the dishes on the table herself.
Shen Yao refused when she heard this. How could she be a hands-off elder? Besides, she was just a daughter-in-law and not a biological daughter.
After a few polite words, Shen Yao took over and worked with Wei's mother. Wei's father brought buckets of water to clean Wei Mingyu's car. After the three of them finished their work, the whole camp became quiet.
Most of the people who came out have some kind of resting equipment. Quite a few of them can come back at this time. They have eaten and drunk enough, and they have just experienced a thrilling life-and-death escape. Everyone needs rest both physically and mentally.
The snoring sounds continue one after another, but people are not affected by them. This shows that humans are really creatures that can adapt to the environment very well.
Shen Yao took a nap in the car, and when she opened her eyes, it was already dark.
Faint lights lit up in the makeshift camp.
Shen Yao shook her head, pushed open the car door, and jumped out to stretch her body.
The dinner was simple. Wei's father and mother simply heated up some instant food. Neither adults nor children complained.
After eating, Wei Minzhi planned to take a shower and wash her oily and tangled hair.
Wei's mother and Shen Yao were a little moved, including Wei Chengning who started to shout. They all had medium-length hair, which looked good when it was flowing and spread out, but now it has become close to the scalp and also emits a strange smell.
"There's a pond in front. Let's go get some water and everyone can wash up at night."
You definitely can't go into the water, no matter how hot it is, and you can't jump into a pond in the wild.
After Shen Yao finished speaking, she and Wei Mingyu carried buckets and went to queue up to fetch water. Wei Minzhi and Wei's mother and father stayed in the camp to collect firewood and cook, trying to heat up the water as soon as possible.
After going back and forth several times, we took out the foldable bath bucket and put it into the tent, starting with the three children and then the adults in the family, who took turns to wash the children.
By the time the hot water in the tent was completely used up, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Unlike before when they had to travel at night or sleep at night, there were now many people around communicating with each other, talking, laughing, joking and having fun. The atmosphere in the camp was relaxed, with no sense of tension at all.
"It's rare to escape death, and there is a smooth road ahead." If you relax your mind, your body will become much more relaxed.
Wei Mingyu leaned against the car window with Shen Yao beside him. They were only a few steps away from the tent.
"It's almost over," Shen Yao tilted her head and looked at Wei Mingyu with a carefree tone.
Wei Mingyu laughed, "Yeah," they went through untold hardships and finally managed to get out of Rimu City.
With his hands gently around Shen Yao's shoulders, Wei Mingyu looked at the moon hanging in the sky and softly told her about the difficulties they had encountered this time. Now that the boat has passed through thousands of mountains, it seems that they can finally say that this is nothing.
Shen Yao laughed out loud, "Be careful not to be overheard by others and blame you for being too high-profile." Just because they can protect themselves doesn't mean others can do the same.
They had a vague idea of how many people had been lost along the way.
As the Swift Monkeys were left behind, the originally vague concept gradually became clear: about 30% of the population died on this journey.
Thirty percent! This is a really shocking statistic.
Shen Yao leaned on Wei Mingyu's shoulder, and the two of them heard voices and the chirping of insects, which soothed their hearts on such a night full of fireworks.
…………
The next morning, the camp, which had been quiet for a long time, began to come alive.
Shen Yao had a rare good night's sleep, and when she woke up in the morning it was still dark.
Carrying a bucket, Shen Yao ran to a nearby pond and fetched a few buckets of water for combing and washing. She changed into a clean sports suit and covered her entire body except for her eyes.
Wei Mingyu was sitting in the car sorting out supplies and checking the condition of the two cars, including engine, tires and other problems. He and Wei's father would fix what could be repaired, and find things to fix what could not be fixed temporarily, in case the car broke down or stopped working on the road and they had to abandon the car and leave.
Wei's mother and Wei Minzhi were cooking. They took out a freshly opened bag of rice, mixed it with ham, eggs and dried vegetables, and cooked a big pot of rice.
The taste of rice is nostalgic. It is the type that you feel is enough when you eat it often, but you can’t help but miss it if you don’t eat it.
The side dishes were a few sealed bottles of pickles, and Wei's mother also showed off her cooking skills by mixing a bowl of cold dishes. The family sat together to fill their stomachs and cleared the table full of food.
"Have a good lunch, and then we'll be on the road tomorrow. After a rest, we'll be on the national highway."
The rest of the time, they will most likely simply stop along the way, saving everything to reach their destination.
Wei Mingyu and the official people learned about the situation and discussed it with Shen Yao. They decided that this time they must follow the official convoy closely and not fall behind.
"The closer it gets to the end, the better the situation will be, but the more we cannot relax," some people are targeting this moment to cause trouble. After all, the dead cannot be resurrected, and even if the enemy does not have a good ending in the end, what does it matter since they are no longer around?
Shen Yao asked them to take out the weapons they had put away, not for any other purpose but for self-defense.
Knives, guns, sticks, axes and hammers. Not only Shen Yao's family, but everyone else also had several cold weapons on their waists or behind their backs to intimidate people with impure intentions.
Shen Yao was playing with the dagger in her hand. It was very small, but sharp. It could cut the skin with just a slight cut, causing blood to flow.
She has nothing to do at the moment. The official has organized management personnel to count the number of people who have arrived and will leave at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
They are in the front half of the team, and are mostly surrounded by official or young and strong forces. It is relatively rare to see a family like them.
Nowadays, people don’t talk much when they meet, and at most they nod as a greeting.
Those who are thoughtful will say a few words to test the bottom line of both parties, while those who are not will seize the opportunity to collect supplies around them to prevent themselves from starving on the road due to lack of food and clothing.
Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu had everything they needed, including enough food and water. Plus, they had three children, so it was not convenient for them to leave for too long. Therefore, they just wandered around the camp.
But even so, Wei Mingyu still caught two fat rabbits and a pheasant.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao couldn't understand why pheasants and rabbits appeared at this time. Why didn't they hide in the cave in such hot weather and go out with all the effort?
"Just deal with it and stew it tonight. These things will go bad if left for too long," Wei Mingyu handed it to Shen Yao. The two went to the water bucket and then each of them cleanly killed the rabbit and pheasant with a knife.
"Add some dried vegetables and some seasoning," and we can eat it all in two meals tonight and tomorrow morning.
While the wild became primitive and difficult to survive in, it also gave animals the opportunity to grow. Whether it was pheasants, hares, or larger wild beasts, they were all much larger than before the disaster, and even more aggressive.
Like the pheasants and rabbits in Shen Yao's hands, the meat alone weighs more than ten pounds, and this is only in the summer when they don't gain weight.
In autumn, when there is no shortage of food, hares and pheasants will grow fatter, and a lot of oil can be produced from just a layer of fat.
Shen Yao had eaten a lot of domesticated rabbits and wild boars when she was in Rimu City. The taste was naturally not as good as chicken, duck and pig, but it was still pretty good.
Now look at the meat in my hand. Well, I will braise it and eat it all in the evening.
A large pot of braised pork and spicy fried pork covered the entire table. Mother Wei used her cooking skills to successfully fill the whole family.
Shen Yao touched her round belly and rubbed her swollen waist.
call
Apart from anything else, the satisfaction of having a full stomach made her feel a little ecstatic.
No wonder people say that delicious food can heal people’s hearts. No matter when, eating a delicious meal can make people forget their pain temporarily.
Because we will be setting off tomorrow, there is no one to keep watch tonight, so everyone will sleep tacitly, trying not to fall behind tomorrow and reach the destination in one breath.
The campsite was peaceful late at night until the irresistible chirping of insects began, and this lively campsite came alive.
They hurriedly prepared breakfast, ate and drank their fill, then got into the car and followed. Until the scenery on both sides changed, they suddenly realized what was going on and really got out.
Wei Minzhi was sitting in the passenger seat, with Shen Yao driving next to her. In the back seat were Wei Chengning and Wei's mother. As for Wei's father, he was in Wei Mingyu's car, and he and Wei Mingyu took turns driving.
The car was driving on the road, occasionally bumping up and down due to the unevenness of the road, but most of the time it was very smooth and there was not even a single dangerous creature.
Sure enough, just as the official said, as long as we get out of the group of wind monkeys, the danger level of the surrounding area will decrease rapidly. The next step is to take the national highway to Hope City, which is as difficult as an ordinary child playing house.
Wei Minzhi called out "sister-in-law" and then took out her backpack to get some snacks.
Shen Yao took a few bites of food from Wei Minzhi's hand, and said that there was also food in her backpack that she could take out and share with other people in the car.
"You should eat less. Your sister-in-law is busy driving. Please help and check the situation."
Wei's mother despised her daughter for her lack of tact. She was incompetent at anything and was never satisfied with anything she ate. It would be worrying if she was still like this in Hope City.
Wei Minzhi smiled and handed the things in her hands to Wei's mother, and gave the biggest and most delicious one to Wei Chengning.
"It's very safe outside, and there's an official convoy leading the way ahead." Even if something could still happen, it can only be said that they are unlucky and not suitable to go out.
Wei Minzhi's careless behavior made her mother angry. The mother and daughter bickered with each other in the car, giving Shen Yao the opportunity to listen to crosstalk.
Shen Yao:......
Not to mention, it was quite refreshing, especially when these two people spoke in a magical way, their voices kept drilling into her head, and she couldn't stop them.
After driving for a day and stopping to set up camp at night, the convoy was still safe and sound.
Maybe it really was a blessing in disguise, for from that day until they reached the national highway, which took about five or six days, they did not encounter any trouble.
Not only that, they can occasionally hunt on the road to satisfy their cravings and eat some fresh meat to supplement their nutrition.
Shen Yao: ...It's amazing
Shen Yao, who felt amazed, shook her head. She was sitting in the passenger seat at this time, watching Wei Minzhi holding the steering wheel motionlessly.
"The highway is flat, relax," Don't be afraid, it's not a bomb, why is your body so tense.
Wei Minzhi looked embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm just scared." She was deeply impressed by the group of Swift Wind Monkeys when she was driving before, so Wei Minzhi would be nervous every time she drove afterwards.
This was an involuntary reaction of the body. Wei Minzhi didn't want it to be like this, but she couldn't control it.
Whenever Wei Minzhi thought of that bloody night, she would shiver inevitably. Now the shivering problem has been slowly brought under control, but the fear has not improved.
Shen Yao also wanted Wei Minzhi to be able to adapt, so she let her drive after the car got on the national highway.
"You'll get used to it. We'll be at Hope City soon," Shen Yao tilted her head, thinking that with Wei Minzhi's personality, it would be more suitable for her to do some small business.
At that time, I will cooperate with Wei's father and mother to open a small livestock farm and raise some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, which can not only make money but also improve daily life.
However, this matter still needs careful consideration. Currently, they all come here under the name of support, and they will be able to enter the unit to work once they are settled.
This is a job that guarantees a stable income. It will be difficult to find another one if you quit. You must make sure that the way out you find is sound, otherwise you cannot quit easily.
Shen Yao was thinking about the arrangements after entering Hope City, especially since they had both old and young in their family and they were not like other people who had nothing to worry about.
That evening, the convoy stopped again, and as the management staff gave notice, the atmosphere in the team became particularly lively.
Who could not be happy? They were about to arrive in Hope City, which meant they had said goodbye to a month of traveling and finally had a good result.
Every household took out the treasures from the bottom of the box, and some people especially ate their treasured food and bacon to celebrate the difficulties of the journey.
Shen Yao's family was no exception. Mother Wei used her skills to cook a full table. Although there were more vegetables and less meat, it tasted no worse than pure meat.
Wei's mother even promised that they would have a good meal when they entered the city tomorrow.
Hope City is an emerging city. The buildings inside are more upscale than those in Rimu City. You can buy everything, including food, clothing and other daily necessities, as long as you spend money.
As it happened, their family had no shortage of material things, and the suggestion of going into the city for a good meal was agreed upon by everyone in the family.
