Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Lunong and the others arrived in Zhangshu County in the evening.

When we arrived, the sun had already set, and the sky was full of purple clouds, and it seemed that the sky was about to get dark.

Lao Liu and the others drove the car directly to a relatively large open space, yelling for everyone to get off the car.

When Xia Lunong heard the shout, she looked out.

The place where the truck was parked was a muddy lawn with many ruts on the ground. I am afraid that besides them, there were many people who parked their cars here.

Xia Lu's thick eyes were full of curiosity, and people around him kept coming down, laughing at him like this.

Seeing him like this, his brother patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to get out of the car.

Apart from getting off the car twice to go to the bathroom briefly, Xia Lunong sat in the carriage for a whole day. When he got off the car, he staggered and felt his waist sore and his legs numb.

His brother lifted his collar from behind and lifted him up firmly.

Xia Lunong stretched her arms, stood firm on the spot, and took a deep breath of the air.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air, I couldn't tell what it was, but it wasn't a pleasant smell.

His eyes fell on the nearby ruins that were almost covered by plants, and he didn't know what snakes, rats and ants were hiding inside.

Old Liu clapped his hands in front, "Before it's completely dark, let's search around and come back to rest when it gets dark."

Everyone responded sparsely, Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian were in the crowd, and Xia Lunong followed.

Old Liu leads the team, Xia Huoqu is going to follow along to prevent danger, and said to Xia Lunong: "I will go to the front, you follow your old brother, be careful in everything."

Xia Lunong nodded seriously.

Yan Xiannian reassured him, "Everything is up to me."

A group of people walked into the ruins, everyone looked around and listened to all directions, and they took pictures of something suddenly popping out of the ruins.

Xia Lunong couldn't feel anything, especially nervous.

Yan Xiannian said next to him: "It's okay, there's not much smell here, there should be no mice infested."

Xia Lunong swallowed nervously, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xi Nian, I see that there are many ruts nearby. Are there many people who have been here? Do we still need to search?"

Yan Xiannian glanced at him appreciatively, "You observed very carefully."

Xia Lunong looked around embarrassingly, "It's all blind."

Yan Xinian explained: "There are many ruts nearby because the entire Zhangshu County is not big. If you drive over, you can only park here. This county was once occupied by snakes and rats, and it was cleared out this spring. People who have been here are not counted. Many. After observing the traces, find a piece of ruins that has not been turned over by people, and then we can start to clean it up."

Xia Lunong looked at the overgrown plants around, and questioned, "It has rained so much, and the vegetation is extraordinarily lush, how can we tell if anyone has searched for it?"

"You can probably judge by looking at the amount of supplies inside." Yan Xinian said, "Even if you can't find anything, it doesn't matter. Tomorrow will be the big one. Today I just go out for a walk. It's best to find something valuable. , it doesn’t matter if you don’t find it.”

Yan Xiannian explained to Xia Lunong at the back, while Old Liu and the others had already entered the ruins, rummaging through them wearing socks.

There is a lot of metal in the ruins, and it is easy to get infected without hand socks. In this era of lack of medical care and medicine, no one dares to take risks.

Xia Huoqu followed Lao Liu, not bending down to look for supplies, but looking around vigilantly to prevent any changes.

Yan Xiannian took Xia Lunong around a corner, past another relatively small ruin.

The ruins are not big, and everyone standing on the rubble can see each other's shadows.

When Xia Huoqu saw the two of them, his expression relaxed slightly, and he quickly shifted his gaze and continued to watch.

Xia Lunong stepped on the ruins with one foot deep and one foot shallow, rummaging through the ruins with an iron hook.

There are everything in the rubble, rotten wood and broken bowls, all kinds of wine bottles, seasoning cans and plastic bags, very few of which can be used.

Xia Lunong checked for a while, and found a battery with sharp eyes that hadn't been opened yet, turned it around and showed it to Yan Xi Nian, "Brother Xi Nian, look at this, the battery!"

"Not bad." Yan Xiannian took it and squeezed it, carefully observed the traces and said, "Take it back, it should be usable."

Xia Lunong nodded, and continued to search excitedly.

The rubble had been exposed to the sun and rain, and many things inside were moldy.

The hook in Xia Lunong's hand caught a cardboard box.

The patterns on the outside of the cardboard box are all faded, and the cardboard is wrinkled and brittle, and has aged.He tore the paper with a light hook.

The sky was too dark, and he didn't see what was inside. After hooking everything up, he realized that it was a glass bottle, or a neatly stacked glass bottle.

It looks like...canned food!

"Brother Xi Nian!" Xia Lunong became excited, pulled the corner of Yan Xi Nian's clothes for him to see, and lowered his voice, "It's canned food!"

"One, two, three...six! Six cans!"

Xia Lunong bent down to pick up the bottles and cans to check.

The can is well sealed, and the lid shows no sign of bulging. Looking at the sugar water inside with the last light, the sugar water is still clear.

Not bad at all.

Yan Xiannian looked at it carefully and praised: "It's really lucky."

Who would have thought that there was a small box of canned food under the ruins?

This luck is not ordinary good.

"Two bottles of coconuts, two bottles of yellow peaches, and two bottles of strawberries." Xia Lunong carefully took out the cans, looked at the fruits inside, and swallowed quietly.

He hasn't eaten this kind of sweet canned food for a long time.

"A bottle weighs three catties. Huh, great harvest. In the past, bro, don't you need to hand in this can?"

"No need." Yan Xiannian assisted him to open the backpack, "We are not members of Lao Liu's team, so we don't need to hand in anything we find."

"Great." After reading the label, Xia Lunong carefully put the cans into their backpacks, with the cans separated by paper, looked down at the cans and said expectantly, "We will go back to the base together eat."

Yan Xiannian took the backpack from his hand, "Beginners are lucky, I have a backpack, you continue to look for it."

"Okay! See if you can find any milk powder, white wine, etc."

Xia Lunong continued to search among the ruins, and soon found a set of kitchen knives that were still in good condition.

This is a good thing, and Xia Lunong took it into his pocket.

The people on Lao Liu's side cheered from time to time, and they seemed to have gained something.

Everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, and when it was completely dark and people could not be seen clearly when facing each other, everyone gathered together and returned to the car together.

The person who harvested the most in the evening found a [-]-kilogram bag of vacuum-packed rice, which looked completely undamaged.

Then there is Xia Lunong, whose six cans of sugar water are more precious than rice of the same weight.

Someone in the team asked him to exchange rice for a can, Xia Lunong looked at his brother.

Xia Huoqu refused, "Not for the time being, we are not short of rice."

"If there is no shortage of rice, what is the shortage? You can make a condition."

Xia Huoqu chased them away, "There is nothing missing, stop staring at my brother's canned food, you can find it yourself tomorrow."

Those who had expected it were instantly disappointed.

Everyone eats their own dry food for dinner.

The three of Xia Lunong ate solid rice, each lunch box contained at least a catty of rice, and the rice was covered with dry-fried sausages and sauerkraut fried from the fat in the sausages.

As soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma of sausage and sauerkraut immediately spread in the truck, which immediately caused the sound of swallowing.

Xiao Tang leaned over and called Xia Huoqu, "Brother Xia, your sausages are delicious, isn't it Xiao Nong's craftsmanship?"

Xia Huoqu picked up a piece for him with a clean spoon, "Just one piece, is there any more?"

"Thank you, Brother Xia, you are such a good man!" Xiao Tang picked it up and put it in his mouth and took a bite, his eyes were about to burst into tears in an instant, "Sweet!"

The others were ready to move, but Xiao Tang was one step late, and they were not as thick-skinned as Xiao Tang. They could only smell the aroma of sausages and sauerkraut and swallow the various sweet potatoes, taro, rice balls, etc. in their hands.

Xia Lunong was always thinking about the canned food in her backpack, and she was a little absent-minded while eating.

He took a bite and glanced at it, even if there was only a candle lit in the middle of the carriage, and he couldn't see clearly, he insisted on looking at it.

"Give it to me." Xia Huoqu said suddenly.

Xia Lunong was puzzled.

Xia Huoqu took half of his meal, and poured most of the rest into his own bowl, "I'll open the can for you after the meal."

Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, "Are you going to open it tonight?"

"Go. Don't memorize something after driving." Xia Huo channeled, "Hurry up and eat."

Xia Lunong didn't need his brother to urge her, she immediately took the lunch box and put the rice into her mouth.

His brother just poured out the rice and didn't share his food. He also specially picked up two extra slices of sausage for his brother.

Then he immediately saw his brother grab a piece of sausage from his lunch box and give it to his former brother.

Xia Lunong moved her butt, and instantly felt that the food in her mouth was slightly sour, like dog food.

Xia Lunong finished eating first.

After eating, he picked out a can of yellow peaches from his backpack and unscrewed the can with one hand without using any tools.

A fresh peach smell wafts out with the smell of sugar water.

Xia Lu swallowed heavily, but didn't pour it into her lunch box.

Xia Huoqu raised his head and asked softly, "What are you waiting for?"

"When you and Old Brother Xienian finish eating, we'll share it together!"

Xia Huoqu rolled his eyes, while Yan Xinian patted him on the shoulder appreciatively.

The place where they sat was relatively far away, but the smell of the cans still wafted out quickly, permeating the interior of the car, sweet and captivating.

Xia Huoqu didn't intend to share the canned food with others, and the others didn't ask too much.

After Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian finished their meal, Xia Lunong picked up the canned food, scooped up the canned food with a clean spoon first, and shared it with each other.

The canned food inside happened to be two yuan more than a multiple of three, and Xia Lunong gave one yuan to each of the two elder brothers.

Xia Huoqu gave him the extra piece, "You eat it yourself."

"No, I don't eat much." Xia Lunong grinned, showing her small white teeth, lowered her head, and poured sugar water into the three lunch boxes with a canning bottle, trying to get the same amount this time.

Soon, the yellowish and viscous sugar was gone, Xia Lunong stuffed the emptied can back into the backpack, and couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, "Brother, Brother Xienian, let's eat quickly."

After speaking, he scooped up a large piece of yellow peach and took a bite slowly.

The yellow peaches are soft, soaked in sugar water for so long, the sour taste is gone, only full of peach fragrance.

After one sip, it was cool, watery and sweet, as if rushing into the swimming pool in the sweltering summer, Xia Lunong felt that every pore of her body was refreshed.

Have a canned yellow peach when you are full, what a treat!
