Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 20:

Soon the other party got the medicine, but what was transferred was a red envelope of 200. Mu Nan felt a little embarrassed to accept the 200 directly. I'm afraid I can't buy it for two thousand, but it's not that time yet. After a while, the smog will clear and the outside will return to normal for a while. Taking advantage of that time, he can still replenish it. Check the inventory of medicines, so he feels that he is taking advantage of others if he charges more money at the moment.

"Brother, why don't we give another bottle of that loquat cream. I bought several boxes of loquat cream. You can buy loquat cream online, so I bought a lot of it. Otherwise, I would feel embarrassed to charge so much money."

Qin Huai said: "I'll make the lo mei tomorrow, and I'll give them a little too. Now the doors and windows of every house are closed and there is no ventilation. They are close to us. Our family will definitely have some influence by making some smelly things. No one has ever said anything about it." What, just thank you."

Mu Nan laughed and said, "Is this to make them eat people?"

Qin Huai folded all the clothes that had been dried under the air conditioner and put them neatly into the closet, and said, "It's up to you to conclude, take out all the big ingredients, I'll make the brine first today, and wait for the chicken wings to arrive tomorrow Just put it in the pot, what else do you want to eat besides chicken wings? Do you want stewed beef?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "No beef, the meat of stewed beef is very dry, do you want to add some lotus root and seaweed?"

Qin Huai nodded: "Okay, you can take them out first, you can marinate the vegetarian ones first, and then bring some eggs, marinate some eggs."

Mu Nan said hello, and happily took the ingredients out of the space one by one. As expected, it is good to have a brother, and you can eat whatever you want.

When Jian first saw Yu Zibai came back with the medicine from outside, he guessed that he must have bought it from a neighbor, because if he asked for it from the community, he would be taken away to quarantine at this time. Jian Chu sighed helplessly: "I'll be fine in two days after drinking more hot water. It's so troublesome to buy cold medicine now. How much did it cost?"

Yu Zibai handed him the medicine box, with the price tag still on it: "Look for yourself."

A box of cold medicine only costs more than 20 yuan, which is cheaper than a catty of radishes. He didn't know that Yu Zibai sent a red envelope to express his gratitude, and he couldn't help feeling: "At this time, I'm still willing to sell cold medicine to others. , they are quite nice.”

Yu Zibai picked out two pills and handed them to him: "It says one at a time, three times a day, you have a bad cough, take two pills first."

I bought all the medicines, so of course I should take them. Jian Chu took the medicine and swallowed it with water. Because the cough was uncomfortable, she went to bed without even eating dinner. Until midnight, Yu Zibai didn't hear Jian Chu's cough again, and the heart that had been carrying these two days was finally relieved a little.

It is estimated that he took double the amount of medicine, so the effect was good. The next day, Jian Chu’s spirits improved a lot. When he smelled the smell of stewed meat coming from the next door, his appetite that had disappeared for several days began to brush up. a strong presence. But with this condition at home, he didn't even dare to say casually, because he was afraid that Yu Zibai would take it seriously, and even saw that he was sick, so he wanted to buy something good to make up for him.

Unexpectedly, their cute neighbor gave them a bag of lo mei and a bottle of loquat cream at night.

The gift made Jian Chu a little puzzled, so he looked at Yu Zibai: "Did you take something from home and exchange it with someone else?"

Yu Zibai smiled and said: "What else can I exchange at home with someone else? It can't be the kindness of the neighbors. For the sake of sickness at home, send some homemade lo mei and make contact with others. After all, they are young people. , it’s better to deal with some older people.”

Jian Chu lightly clicked his tongue: "Who are you fooling? Tell me, what's going on? If it's just a lo mei, it may be because the neighbors are kind and enthusiastic. There's also a bottle of loquat cream. I couldn't have given it to you yesterday. Cold medicine, today I found out that there is still loquat paste at home, so I brought it along with the lo mei? Besides, why did they suddenly send food for no reason, let alone enthusiasm, the neighbor has not even said hello for three years."

Yu Zibai replied calmly: "If my younger brother is not enthusiastic, I will not like my brother's enthusiasm."

Although he was wearing a mask when we met, he could feel the aura of a person even if he covered his face. If the neighbor's elder brother is a passionate person, Jian Chu felt that Yu Zibai was underestimating his IQ. Seeing that Yu Zibai didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions. Get well soon, and the most important thing is to find a way to share the pressure of life with Yu Zibai.

At this time, Mu Nan was quite surprised by the neighbor next door. He put the domestic garbage outside the iron gate, so that it would be convenient for Qin Huai to take it down when he went downstairs to pick up things tomorrow. Braised meat and loquat paste, so they met each other at the two ends, probably worried that they would mind, after all, I have a patient in my family, so when I saw him putting out the garbage, the other party stood at the door and did not come out, and turned to the other side. He said thank you, and when he closed the door, the other party came out to get something.

To Mu Nan's surprise, he had met this neighbor once in his previous life, and to him, it was a very profound relationship.

At that time, the weather was extremely hot, and there was a lack of power and water, but there was no earthquake that almost disrupted the entire order. In addition, just after the epidemic, I had been closed at home for several months. Many people even went bankrupt and owed debts, and people who could not make ends meet There are a lot of them, and when encountering this kind of extreme weather, many people can’t bear the pressure of survival and commit suicide. Because the noise is too big, the government also knows that it is not easy for the masses, so they start to distribute supplies, three bottles of one-liter mineral water plus one bag Five small packets of instant noodles are three-day rations for each person, and they are collected every three days.

Although Mu Nan was not so short of food at that time, the environmental conditions at that time already made people feel flustered, so of course he would not refuse to receive supplies for free, even if he didn't eat now, it would not take up space if he accumulated them in the space. Because the sun is too strong during the day, people who are hot can’t go out at all, so they have to wait for the sun to get supplies at night. The place to get them is the supermarket, not the neighborhood committee in the community. It is at least five minutes away from their community. the distance.

Regardless of the fact that the journey is only five minutes, at night, with food in the bag, and in an environment where the ban has just been lifted and the environment is extremely hot and unable to go out during the day, it may not be safe for him to be alone.

At that time, he noticed that the two people in front of him were both tall and good-looking, which inevitably made people take a second look, but what he really noticed was the interaction between the two, the taller one kept making the slightly shorter one next to him The boy put the water in his bag and asked the short man to carry the two packs of instant noodles. The short man seemed to be in poor health. Heavy objects, and pay attention to the people in line next to him, protecting him with one hand.

Looking at the two of them, he was thinking at that time, if Qin Huai was here, he would also be the one being protected.

Seeing the moment when the two get along, the envy that someone can rely on, accompanied by longing and worry, the confusion of facing the future, and the grievance of being alone, I really couldn't help but burst out all at once. After Qin Huai left, he never cried no matter how difficult his life was, at that moment, he couldn't even hold back his tears.

Later, on the way back, he felt that someone was following him, and when he turned his head to look, two hot people in shorts, dirty and looking like homeless people seemed to be sizing him up. Just when he was hesitating whether to run home, the two people he saw before came up, and the tall man said to him, "You are also from Jinglin Community, let's go together."

Seeing that there were two more people on his side, the two homeless men naturally stopped following him. He thanked them, but he rarely took the initiative to make friends with people these years, and he was not good at talking to strangers. I didn't know what to say, so I went back to the community in silence all the way. After returning to the community, those two people seemed to have other things, so they took different paths with him. After that, he never met them again. He didn't even know that they actually lived next door to him.

Because of the sudden surge of emotions at that time, he was very impressed with them. Even if he was wearing a mask and could only see his eyes, he could still recognize this neighbor as the tall man who helped him in the previous life. In other words, the person who is sick in their family is probably the slightly shorter boy he saw in the last life. It seems that he is not in good health, but he can live until then, which proves that he has not been infected. Well, that's pretty lucky too.

Qin Huai saw that Mu Nan came back from putting out the garbage, and his expression was a bit wrong, so he stopped the blender in his hand: "What's wrong?"

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai who was wearing an apron and holding a mixer to beat the egg liquid, and couldn't help reaching out to him: "Brother, come and give me a hug."

Qin Huai laughed and put down the blender in his hand and walked over, opened his arms and embraced Mu Nan in his arms: "What's wrong? What did you see? Acting like a baby all of a sudden." Facing Mu Nan's sudden closeness, Qin Huai was even a little flattered, of course the closer Mu Nan was to him, the better it would be.

Mu Nan took a deep breath, smiled and sighed, "I just suddenly felt that it's nice to have a brother."

Qin Huai rubbed his hair: "You have such a sweet mouth, you can talk so well."

Mu Nan said: "Then can I have an extra plate of chicken wings later?"

Qin Huai let go of him ruthlessly, and refused indifferently: "No."

Mu Nan immediately looked at him inexplicably, sometimes it's not so good to have an older brother.
