After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng had no idea about what temperature and environment would allow chickens and ducks to hatch their eggs, so naturally it was all up to Ning Xiaowen to decide.

According to Ning Xiaowen's arrangement, the four of them worked together to clear out two clean corners of the West House, spread new hay, and then use shelves to separate the two sides.Chicken nests and duck nests do not interfere with each other, put enough water, and place chickens, ducks and eggs.

"Aren't there too many eggs?" Hu Zi frowned after everything was ready.

There are dozens of eggs and duck eggs. If they all hatch, they won't be able to raise them. They can't kill and eat them when they are cubs, right? !

Ning Xiaowen washed his hands: "It's not too many. It's impossible for them all to hatch. After hatching, they will be raised in the yard. When spring comes, they will be half-grown. Let's keep some for ourselves and take the rest out." Change something."

Huzi took a look at the greenhouse in the yard, and he was not afraid that the vegetable field would be harmed by free-range cultivation.

"Are you really going out to live?" Ning Xiaowen looked at the things on the kang and asked.

Ning Qiyan nodded, before he could speak, Huzi came over and interjected: "Oh, newlyweds, it's time for a honeymoon."

……

Honeymoon in the cave...

"Actually, I prefer to live with Brother Xiaowen. How about we stay in the space and let Du Cheng and Brother Huzi go to live in the cave? Just to experience the comfortable life they didn't have before." Ning Qiyan smiled He took Ning Xiaowen's hand and said.

Ning Xiaowen nodded with a very cooperative smile.

The teasing expression froze on his face, and he looked at Ning Qiyan with a blue beard, and then looked back at Du Cheng, wanting Du Cheng to take care of his family, there is no future for blind dates...

Then he met Du Cheng who was staring at him with a gloomy face.

Beard laughed dryly, and shrank back.

Ning Qiyan glanced at the quail-like beard and rolled his eyes.

"We have no experience in hatching chickens and ducklings, so I will leave it to you and Brother Beard. The cave is not cold for you to clean up. Du Cheng and I will go to relax. Anyway, we will come back for lunch and dinner, and stay in the cave for a few days." The sky is also fine." Ning Qiyan said.

Seeing that he and Du Cheng had already made up their minds, Ning Xiaowen stopped talking, picked up the things on the kang, and helped them get to the cave together.

After replacing the new kang in the cave with his and Du Cheng's bedding, Ning Qiyan sat down and watched Du Cheng pick up the unfinished wood for the beard.

Even with charging lights, the light in the cave is not as bright as the space, but it is enough for daily life. As long as you don't do things that test your eyesight, it won't damage your eyesight.

Ning Qiyan leaned against the wall and looked at the entire cave, he didn't even notice that Du Cheng sat next to him after packing up his things.

"What are you thinking about?" Du Cheng waved his hand in front of Ning Qiyan's eyes.

Ning Qiyan withdrew his gaze, thought for a while, and said, "I wonder if we should tidy up the cave, maybe we will stay here for a few more years in the future, and when the weather warms up, we won't be able to return to the space."

"Will it be long?"

Ning Qiyan nodded, "It will take at least two or three years. Think about it, although there is no news from the outside now, we all know what happened to City D after the earthquake. It is basically a ruin, but So far, no one from other places has come to support the reconstruction, what does that mean?"

Du Cheng fell back on the quilt: "It means that all places are the same, and I can't take care of myself, so I don't care about others."

"Yes, the whole world is the same. Everything needs to be rebuilt. How can the speed of reconstruction be so fast?! The reconstruction of the city is okay, the existing areas are re-laid with pipes, or the ruins are pulled down to build new ones, but what about food? No Sufficient food is the foundation, people can’t get enough to eat, and reconstruction is basically nonsense. So the land is the most important. Even if the city restores water, electricity and heating, our roots must be here to ensure that we will not be hungry. The country The previous reserves... just look at it, it will be good if you can last until next autumn." Ning Qiyan sighed as he said.Before rebirth, it was not until the third year of the earthquake that the survivors were groping and using the research results of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to figure out the rules and experience of planting crops in the new climate environment.Ning Qiyan didn't know much about other places, and it was only in the third year in City D that he could barely guarantee that all the living people could have enough to eat, regardless of whether the food was good or not, at least they could have enough to eat.It was also at that time that there were signs of real rebuilding.It's a pity that he doesn't know what happened after that.

Thinking about Ning Qiyan's words, Du Cheng's heart became heavy.

He thought of the time when he first arrived at the orphanage. Compared with the children who lived in the orphanage as long as he could remember, he once had a complete family and knew what kind of happiness it was to be held in the hands of his parents. Losing everything in time, even wanting to eat some meat needs to be fought for. This gap makes it more difficult for him to adapt than other children.

Think about people who have been living in a comfortable environment, suddenly facing a devastating earthquake, and then starvation that threatens survival, when the time comes...

Du Cheng sat up suddenly and looked around.

"You're right, the cave has to be cleaned up, it's not safe enough."

Ning Qiyan blinked, isn't it safe enough?Including Wang Yang's family, most of the people living in the mountain are directly connected to the gate at the edge of the cave excavation, which is not like their house is built with cement and stones.If they are not safe here, what about the others?

"When there's a real famine, a door can't keep out hungry green-eyed people."

Ning Qiyan laughed and said, "No, we've been staying at home, and the law and order within the area designated by the government is pretty good."

Du Cheng frowned and looked at Ning Qiyan: "Have you forgotten that time before?"

Ning Qiyan shook his head, "When there is a food crisis, the government will assign soldiers to garrison all over the mountains. As long as they are not under the government's jurisdiction, no one will dare to cause trouble in front of the army. At that time, the methods above will not be as gentle as they are now. gone."

Du Cheng shrugged and did not argue with him.

"Then how do you plan to clean up the cave? If you want to expand it, you might as well wait until it gets warmer and build a wooden house on the platform. At least it won't be as damp as the cave when it rains. And the smaller the cave, the warmer it is in winter."

Thinking about Du Cheng's words, Ning Qiyan felt that it made sense. It happened that the entrance of the cave on the platform side was a bit higher than the ground, and it was convenient to build a wooden house against the mountain wall and make a staircase to get out.It is really not easy to carry things when climbing the rope ladder that is used now.

The cave is very small, and the usual activities are limited, so there is no need to tidy up the yard in the morning, so Ning Qiyan changed to drawing, planning to design a simple blueprint of the wooden house first.The height of the platform is sufficient. He plans to build the wooden house into upper and lower floors. The back door on the second floor is connected to the entrance of the cave. The stairs are built inside the wooden house. After entering the second floor from the cave, go down to the first floor along the stairs, and the platform is at the door.

After the [-] lamps that have been exchanged are hung up in the spring, they will hang solar generators on the cliff.Considering the power and consumption of so many lights, at least two generators must be hung to support it.Fortunately, before the earthquake, he bought two and put them in the space, and one of them is exactly what the space is using now.There is also a home in the city that was exchanged for grain after the earthquake.Ning Qiyan planned to move the one in the city back, plus the one that was idle in the space.Both are high-power generators, not only for the lighting needed for planting, but also for separating the circuit and connecting it to the wooden house.

In the morning, Du Cheng continued nailing the unfinished frames of the beard. At noon, he and Ning Qiyan went back to the space for dinner. In the afternoon, the two of them sat on the new kang to watch a movie.

Ning Qiyan downloaded a lot of movies and TV series on the tablet before the earthquake. Every afternoon, the two of them would wrap around a quilt and nest on the warm kang. Several times when Ning Qiyan raised his head and stretched his neck between movies, he watched The walls of the cave have a feeling of pre-rebirth in a trance.The cave walls mottled with earth and rocks, the firelight from the earthen stove, the familiar people around... This sense of confusion before and after rebirth makes Ning Qiyan calm down every time, so that he can be sure of the current situation.

The memories that he had slowly forgotten after his rebirth also filled Ning Qiyan's mind again.

This made Du Cheng pleasantly surprised to find that after living in the cave, his lover seemed to be easily teased, and would even take the initiative to come over occasionally.

For a beast that has eaten meat, it will naturally not let go of the fat that flies to its mouth.

So for half a month after moving here, Du Cheng lived happily ever after.The usual paralyzed face has been smiling all this time, and the bearded man couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms several times.

Ning Qiyan couldn't tell whether he wanted to make up for Du Cheng because he regretted the ending, or whether he really fell in love with Du Cheng because of an incredible rebirth.After every night of passion, he always felt a pang of apology.

Du Cheng's heart for him was sincere and pure.

But he himself still doesn't know what kind of feelings he has for Du Cheng.

After being in love again, Ning Qiyan lay half on Du Cheng's muscular chest, panting heavily.

Looking at the sweat beads on the wheat-colored skin in front of him, Ning Qiyan suddenly spoke.

"Du Cheng, I don't know if I love you or not."

Du Cheng didn't speak, but raised his hand to gently caress Ning Qiyan's bare back.

"Maybe I'm only with you because I don't want to lose you." Ning Qiyan said softly.

After a long time, Du Cheng still didn't make a sound, Ning Qiyan turned his head a little apprehensively, and met Du Cheng's smiling eyes.

"What are you laughing at?!" Ning Qiyan glared at Du Cheng angrily.

Du Cheng's arm was strong, and Ning Qiyan was pulled up directly, and the two looked at each other.

"I really don't know why you think so." With a wide smile, Du Cheng raised the corner of his mouth, "Even if you are not with me, do you think I will leave you?"

Ning Qiyan nodded, of course he would leave, or whoever went to work on the construction site back then refused to live with him!

Du Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I will let you face it alone in this world?"

... Well, Du Cheng did come back after the earthquake.

Seeing Ning Qiyan's hesitation, Du Cheng didn't make any detours.

"Let's put it this way, even if you tell me now that you don't want to be with me as a lover, you just want to be a brother again. Then I will still guard you and will not leave. Then you want to be a brother with me, or a lover ?”

Ning Qiyan pursed his lips, "Even if I choose to be your lover, it doesn't mean I love you. It may also be that the lifestyle in the lover's world is more comfortable..."

Du Cheng finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ning Qiyan punched him angrily.

Du Cheng tried his best to hold back his smile, looking at Ning Qiyan who had an expression of "I'll talk to you about business again".

"How can you be so cute! Whether you are my lover or brother, I love you, so my attitude towards you will not be different. The real difference is actually you. If you don't love me, you won't want to be with me Intimate." Du Cheng said, his finger brushed Ning Qiyan's lower abdomen.

Ning Qiyan shrank back, a trace of electric current flashed across his already weak body, and his body, which was getting more and more accustomed to being touched by Du Cheng, couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Du Cheng turned over and fell on Ning Qiyan.

"Touch it and that's it. Tell me whether you love me or not..." The last words ended in Ning Qiyan's lips.

Ning Qiyan was speechless, didn't everyone say that men are animals with lower body thinking?Can the lower body represent love? !

Du Cheng sucked Ning Qiyan's lips, feeling the more and more hot breath of the other party.

Maybe someone else's body can't represent love, but for Ning Qiyan who he understands thoroughly, it can.

He is too aware of the other party's desire for love and family.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Ning Qiyan doesn't love him, he will always tie him up and not allow anyone to get close.Ning Qiyan's love belongs to him, and only to him!
