Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 44

After returning to the house, Chen Zhuxia didn't feel sleepy.She lay on the plank with her hands under her pillow, waiting for the dawn.Yuan Dingfang also lay down with her after washing off the blood on his body.

"That Wang Ke is very abnormal these days. I didn't expect her to be more active than you." Yuan Dingfang said casually.

"It's very abnormal. But it's also normal. She is from Nanjing. In 1937, her entire family was killed by the Japanese. Only her great-grandfather who was studying in Shanghai survived." Chen Zhuxia explained to him calmly.

"I understand." Yuan Dingfang replied with a sigh.

"In the future, what will happen when other people go ashore?"

"I don't know either, but as long as the other party has no ill will towards us and no desire to covet our homeland, everyone can coexist peacefully. Anyway, there are no more human beings left."

"Well, it depends."

Yuan Dingfang moved towards Chen Zhuxia naturally.The two cuddled each other and fell asleep.

In the following time, they lived a life like Robinson Crusoe.Running around on the plateau in ragged clothes, racking their brains every day to improve their survival and living conditions, is no different from a savage.They spend a lot of time every day looking for edible plants, and use simple tools to go to the shallow sea to catch enough fish and shrimp.Chen Zhuxia and Wang Ke Dengyun used the rags they picked up to sew clothes and shoes in their spare time.Among the four, Xiaoyun, who is the youngest, is the best at this.She also taught them how to make cloth shoes with layered soles.

"Yunyun, you are amazing." Wang Ke praised her with a smile.

"Actually, I haven't done it before. I used to watch my mother do it." Xiaoyun smiled shyly, and when she mentioned her mother, her face darkened again.Chen Zhuxia couldn't help feeling sour in her heart.Wang Ke was vaguely aware of these past events, and quickly changed the conversation, jokingly said: "Zhu Xia, don't you want to make a pair of shoes for Fang?"

"Let's talk about it after I've practiced it." Wang Ke is a cheerful and lively person, who likes to joke with everyone, and is the happy fruit of the team.Chen Zhuxia had only seen her violence once.But Deng Yun said that in fact, Wang Ke broke out more than once during their escape.Perhaps, everyone has two sides, and different environments are suitable for different personalities.

Chen Zhuxia suppressed the sadness in her heart, smiled lightly and turned to tease Wang Ke: "Who are those pairs in your hand for? Mingji?" Xiao Yun heard them mention Mingji, and raised her head involuntarily, with a concentrated expression. He looked at the three of them carefully, and listened carefully with his ears open.

Wang Ke sneered lightly, stroked his hair with his hands, and said, "Why did you drag me with him?"

Chen Zhuxia smiled and said, "I think you two are like lovers in a novel."

"It's true that I'm still happy with my enemy." Wang Ke smiled meaninglessly, and then said sternly: "We two have different views. We are destined to be only bad friends."

As soon as Xiaoyun heard what she said, she immediately argued eagerly: "Uncle Ming is very kind, knowledgeable and smart. He knows a lot..." At the end of the talk, she had something to say but was at a loss for words. Head scratching.

Wang Ke patted her on the head and said with a smile: "People like you, Uncle Ming, are more attractive to naive and ignorant girls. We don't care much about it. From now on, you have to guard against people like this." Everyone else laughed.Xiao Yun seemed to think of something to think about, and the sky was filled with red.She hurriedly lowered her head, hiding her embarrassment.However, no one else noticed this detail.

The four of them were talking, and the man who went fishing had already returned.Today's harvest is still not much, only a basket of small fish and shrimp.

Mingji squatted down on the ground with a dejected expression like a farmer whose crops were not harvested and said in a low voice, "It's probably because this is Xinhai, so no fish and shrimps are born. Sigh..."

Deng Yun quickly comforted: "It's okay, the world's oceans are connected together. The fish in those old seas will swim over sooner or later."

Wang Ke put down his work, looked up at the boundless sea and said, "Do you think our huge country should have a lot of food reserves?"

Yuan Dingfang continued; "That must be there. It's just that the location of the hiding place is a state secret, and we have no way of knowing."

Chen Zhuxia was also attracted by their words, and asked, "Then there must be granaries in Xinjiang, right?"

"It stands to reason that there are."

The light of hope flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Perhaps, we should think about finding these secret granaries." Chen Zhuxia concluded.

"Yes, but how to find it? I have no clue at all. We can't dig the ground like laying a carpet. We only have a few people, so how can we have the energy to do this kind of thing?" Gu Gong has a more pragmatic personality. question.

"The method is thought up by people. Let's allocate part of our energy to find one and try it."

While discussing, everyone prepared dinner, each took a few mouthfuls at random, and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Before leaving, Wang Ke blinked his eyes like black grapes, and joked: "There are too few entertainments now, all of you who are rich and famous, hurry up and make people. Pay attention to the impact, the sound insulation effect of the room is not good." Said After that, she slipped away like a gust of wind.Deng Yun went back to the room with a low laugh and cursing in a low voice.Chen Zhuxia glanced at the others calmly, then turned and went back.On the contrary, Yuan Dingfang looked a little embarrassed.

Chen Zhuxia returned to the hut, lit a pine torch as a lamp, and began to seriously study how to fit the soles.

Yuan Dingfang also leaned over curiously, watching the movements of her hands intently.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but said: "I'll do it, I'm not afraid of getting stuck." Chen Zhuxia shook his head and said seriously: "Kung fu is not afraid of those who have a heart. I don't believe that I can't do it well." While she was speaking I didn't notice, the needle stuck in my finger.Bright red blood beads rolled out from the skin.She dropped her shoes with a hiss.Yuan Dingfang took her hand and put it in his mouth, sucking her finger gently with his wet tongue.A strange touch flowed from the fingertips to the whole body like an electric current, Chen Zhuxia couldn't help but tremble slightly, her mind was a little dazed, she quickly retracted her hand.Yuan Dingfang opened his mouth slightly, smiled awkwardly, and explained: "I used to see my mother prick her hand and put it in her mouth to suck it. Since you don't like it, I won't do it in the future."

Chen Zhuxia looked down at the injured finger.Taking a deep breath, he said slowly, "I've never been sucked by others before, and I think it's a bit strange." Hearing these words, Yuan Dingfang let go of a small stone in his heart.The expression on his face was also much calmer, he looked at her and smiled, feeling a little silly.

Chen Zhuxia felt a little sorry, she graciously stuffed three fingers into Yuan Dingfang's mouth together, and said graciously, "Since you like biting your fingers, I'll give you all."

"Well, uh..."

Yuan Dingfang's mouth was so full that he couldn't speak.Chen Zhuxia stretched out her hand with a smile, and asked, "Have you had enough?" Yuan Dingfang tried to calm down his breathing, but without speaking, he quickly snatched the soles of her shoes, which she only put on at the beginning, and looked at them in front of the firelight. He said to himself: "Isn't it just to use a needle to make a hole? What's the difficulty?" After speaking, he clumsily pinched the needle with his fingers and stabbed it hard. As a result, the needle broke with a snap.

Chen Zhuxia gave him a blank look.Yuan Dingfang felt that he was in the wrong, and then laughed foolishly.

Chen Zhuxia lowered his head and rummaged in the sewing basket for a while, then threw him a thick needle: "Keep practicing. I suddenly feel that our roles need to be changed."

"what……"

"do you have any opinion?"

"No, no. But what—"

"You must not tell others, I did this." Yuan Dingfang made this request.

"..."

While struggling with the primitive natural conditions, everyone will discuss from time to time, where is the country's grain reserves hidden?How much is the reserve, will it go bad, and a series of questions.Although, they are also actively acting, but every time it is in vain.Everyone is still enjoying it.Finding food reserves has become one of their spiritual pillars.

Half a month later, another group of survivors ushered in on the plateau.From a distance, I saw ships approaching on the sea.As usual, Wang Ke and Gao Qiang checked with binoculars first.

"Look, it's from China. The five-star red flag is flying on the ship!" The two shouted excitedly together, and everyone looked at the flag fluttering in the wind excitedly. They had seen this flag countless times before. But never had they been so excited.

Everyone stood on the shore, looking at the fleet.The people on the boat were also looking at them. The other party was even more excited than them, and they waved their hands desperately.
