Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 12 Daylight
When passers-by heard Lao Biao's words, they all had funny faces, and one of the women who was washing clothes at the door of the house laughed and said, "Old Biao, don't hurry up and go home, be careful that your uncle strips your pants and beats you." I heard several villagers around laugh out loud.

Lao Biao stared at a few people, turned around and ran away. Qiao Mi frowned slightly. If she hadn't been too satisfied with that house, she would definitely not have tolerated people like Lao Biao appearing in her life. I have never dealt with this kind of person who is a bit guilty and a little bit angry. It seems that I have to get along with the village chief in the future, so that this old man named Lao Biao will not affect her life.

Wu Xiaohui also turned around to comfort her, "Don't be afraid of him, don't look at him full of anger, he actually went to school with TV, his brain is not smart, he is the most timid, he will run away when he is scared, and he is most afraid of the village chief, so don't worry Bar."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "Well, I see."

After a while, the bus leading to the county wobbled over. The two got on the bus. Because they had to drive the bus, they didn't have lunch. At this time, Qiao Miwei was also hungry, but it was just dust on the road. It was too big, and Qiao Miwei could only eat some when the road conditions were better and there was no dust. She still felt that she couldn't swallow it, so she had no choice but to put it aside and pretend to sleep with her eyes closed. Fortunately, she was used to going out. In addition to being fully armed, a mask is naturally prepared, and it can slightly block the dust when the window is opened.

Wu Xiaohui seems to have gotten used to it. She ate deliciously with the bag in her arms. Halfway through the journey, she nodded Qiao Miwei with her elbow, "Look, there is a reservoir over there. It has been there for many years. I used to catch it when I was young. Fish, but this year the water is heavy, I heard that a young man fell and drowned during the New Year."

Qiao Mi followed her gaze slightly and saw a large area of ​​water in the distance. She asked, "How did it fall?"

"I went to play. Some people said they were going to catch fish. The guy said he knew how to swim and wanted to go down to catch fish, but he didn't come up." Wu Xiaohui explained.

Qiao Miwei's heart moved, and she continued, "There have been many disasters in the south and north in the past two years."

Wu Xiaohui nodded, "No, last year in the village next to our village, called Tuli Village, there was an old lady who took her four-year-old grandson to the station and hired a car to go there. When the flash flood came down, the whole car overturned, the old lady and the child died at that time, but luckily the driver and the child’s father were fine.”

Qiao Mi sighed slightly, "Now it seems better to go to the countryside like me to live better, and the city is even more difficult, not to mention all kinds of disasters, food security is not guaranteed, the pace of life is too fast, there is no Happiness." After she finished speaking, she took Wu Xiaohui's arm, "If you plant some land in the countryside, raise some chickens and ducks, then raise a dog and a kitten, rest after work, and stay as long as you want on."

Wu Xiaohui knew about rural life, but at that time she had always longed for the prosperity of a big city. Now that she heard Qiao Miwei's description, she couldn't help nodding her head when she compared her daily life in the vegetable market, " When you say that’s the case, life in the countryside is comfortable, you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, and you have to go out to buy every vegetable leaf and garlic in the city.”

Qiao Miwei said, "Oh, that's not true. If there is any disaster in the city in the future, don't be reluctant to live that life. Come back as soon as possible, and we can still be neighbors."

Wu Xiaohui was quite moved after thinking about it, "I'll talk to my family when I go back. If it doesn't work, we'll go back."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, pretending to look at the sun outside, "I didn't mean it, look at how the sun is getting redder every day, it's not normal at all, I feel that the skin is itchy after being exposed to the sun, and sometimes it hurts when I scratch it. It hurts, or you can see that the tree is about to germinate, and I still wear it so thick."

Wu Xiaohui said, "I thought you were cold and caught a cold, so I was afraid of this, hey." After she finished speaking, she looked at the sun with her head, and after a while, she shrank back and hesitated, "Don't tell me I didn't I found out why the sun is redder than before, I remember the sun is golden yellow, why is it so red now.”

"Yeah, I'm just afraid that something's wrong, and it's uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun, so I wear more sunscreen."

An aunt behind them said, "That's not true. In those days when we went to the ground, we felt hot and sore skin after working for a while. Later, we changed into thick clothes to protect ourselves from the sun."

As soon as the aunt's words fell, the whole car started to discuss and everyone agreed that the sun had indeed changed. Qiao Miwei took the opportunity to publicize, "If the skin feels uncomfortable, it must be injured. This means that there are too many ultraviolet rays in the sun. , There are many other things, anyway, it is definitely not good for the body, I am not trying to scare people, if it is serious, you may get skin cancer, everyone should be careful, there are too many disasters in this society, it is always a mistake to be careful."

After speaking, everyone was convinced, and Wu Xiaohui nodded again and again, "It's true. Anyway, it's not too hot to wear thick clothes. There's nothing wrong with being careful."

Qiao Miwei did not dare to publicize the end of the world, for fear of being sent to a mental hospital, but she felt very comforted to be able to help some people in this way, and hoped that these people would remember her words, avoid the sun, and try to Live longer.

Back in Fang County, Qiao Mi’s stomach was growling with hunger. She held Wu Xiaohui back and refused to let her go home. She insisted on treating her to dinner. Wu Xiaohui had helped her a lot, otherwise the house would not have been available for purchase superior.

Wu Xiaohui didn't want to go, so she refused for a long time, but couldn't hold back Qiao Miwei's request, so she could only follow her to a higher-end restaurant on their side. Wu Xiaohui didn't want to go in when she saw the front of that restaurant, she took Qiao Miwei's arm and said , "Change to another family. This one is extremely expensive. In fact, it's not those things. There's no need to waste money. Besides, just the two of us can eat as much."

Wu Xiaohui is a good girl, and Qiao Miwei knew it a long time ago, but this meal was just to thank her, it wasn't Qiao Miwei's deliberate bias, if she missed this time, before the end of the world, she might not have the chance to appreciate such a restaurant It's delicious, wouldn't that be a pity, so she ignored Wu Xiaohui's tugging and led people in.

This restaurant has a very good business, even if it is not for meals, it is often full, so Qiao Miwei didn't deliberately ask for a private room, the two of them picked a seat in the lobby and sat down, Qiao Miwei took the menu and handed it to Wu Xiaohui One serving, "Order what you like, and order whatever you like."

Wu Xiaohui opened the menu and glanced at the prices, and she became timid. She didn't look at the photos, but only looked at the inexpensive dishes. She looked through the menu from beginning to end, and ordered a home-cooked cold dish, a shiitake mushroom choy sum.

Knowing that she was reluctant to part with the money, Qiao Miwei took up the conversation, pointed to a picture and said, "One steamed pork ribs with chopped peppers, and one baked shrimp with creamy garlic."

Wu Xiaohui saw these two dishes and knew that they were very expensive, so she raised her hand to stop them, "Don't order, the two of us can't eat that much."

Qiao Miwei had already unpacked the tableware, and said without looking up, "Waste on the tip of the tongue? Don't worry, if you can't eat it, let's pack it up and take it home."

Wu Xiaohui stopped talking. She knew that Qiao Miwei was thanking herself, but she felt that she and she had known each other since childhood and were classmates, so there was no need to be so polite, but she would not forcefully stop her from inviting guests if the classmates wanted to treat them. Everyone is ugly.

Although she helped Qiao Miwei buy a house, she actually didn't do anything after this trip, so she didn't feel that she should thank him much.

The two of them had a good relationship when they were in school, and after staying for a day, the strangeness has long since disappeared, and now they started talking affectionately again.

When the food was ready, Qiao Miwei didn't order wine, and the two of them filled their stomachs with drinks.

It was past six o'clock when I went back, Qiao Miwei took a taxi home, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother had already had dinner, seeing her coming back, Qiao's mother nagged, "Why are you only here now, staying too long is annoying , don’t do this next time, there’s something going on at home.”

Qiao Miwei agreed with a guilty conscience. She was a little tired after driving for a day and then walked so far. She got into the bathroom, took a shower, and went back to her room to rest.

Qiao's mother stared at Qiao Miwei's door and asked Qiao's father, "You don't think that Weiwei's actions today are a little cautious, just like...a guilty conscience." So it is very unfortunate to have parents who are teachers, and they are very willing. Taking my own children as experimental subjects, I often guessed the essence of the matter after guessing.

Father Qiao changed the channel to watch, "There are so many things going on, I think she is tired from playing, just rest early, don't be suspicious." So there is a distinction between men and women in this thing, Mother Qiao listened to Father Qiao's words, He looked down at the book in his hand again.

Qiao Miwei was lying on the bed, digging out the photos taken during the day, and looking back and forth, the more she looked, the more she was satisfied. The decoration of rural houses is irrelevant, and the practicality is the first. She shares two bedrooms with her parents. There are everything in the kitchen and living room, but there is still a big warehouse missing, otherwise there is no place to store many things, so the warehouse is built next to the mountain, which is strong and safe. In fact, Qiao Miwei knows a lot about various disasters after the end of the world. Many, after all, she still stayed in Fangcheng in her previous life. After the disaster started, she was lucky to buy a lot of food first. The rice was bought in big bags, so she kept hiding at home and didn’t know enough about everything outside. The book also told her the reality that she only survived for half a year in the apocalypse. After half a year, her rations ran out, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't come to deliver food to her in those days. She had to go out to find food by herself. Hunger made her become He was very weak, so he couldn't escape from those hooligans, and finally ended up being split up and eaten for meat.

Therefore, Qiao Miwei urgently needs a large warehouse to store a lot of supplies, and also needs a very safe place to ensure the safety of himself and his family.
