Zhou Quchuan’s injury just improved, and the temperature that night suddenly cooled down. Of course, it was not cold enough, but this kind of coolness dispelled the previous sultry and dry air, and engulfed the night wind suddenly. Blowing, will make people can't help but fight a cold war.
Before going to bed, Zhao Lun took out two thin trousers from his backpack and covered himself and Zhou Quchuan on his stomach, so as not to accidentally catch the cold at night.
However, she was a little worried in her heart, and she didn't know that this cooling was just a burst of cold air, and it would get better in a few days, or it would continue to be so cold.
After all, she just planned to prepare the food that needs to be stored in winter.
It can only be said that fortunately, Achuan has actually awakened a "rapid recovery" type of ability. In his situation, he can help with things in two days.
I waited until the next morning to check Zhou Quchuan's wounds, and found that the wounds on his knees and other parts of his legs had been completely scabbed, new pink flesh had grown, and the wounds on his upper body were completely healed.
Zhou Quchuan stood up and walked around the room, his face still pale and weak, but at least his activities were fine.
Zhao Lian wanted him to rest for another day or two, and waited until the mental aspect was fully recovered, but he insisted on going out with her to share the work, Zhao Lian agreed after thinking about it.
He recovers so quickly, naturally, he doesn’t need to make a stretcher. The wood cut back yesterday can be used as firewood. However, if it snows in winter, it would be inconvenient to go out to chop wood, so taking advantage of the good weather now, Also need to cut more firewood to prepare.
Yesterday, when Zhou Quchuan's injury recovered so quickly, Zhao Lian had thought about whether to set off to the Xinchuan base in advance. According to the distance, they may be able to enter the base before the winter snow comes. In this way, life should be more secure than staying in this uninhabited place.
However, this idea was rejected by Zhou Quchuan, because he knew that the expressway to Xinchuan Base had already been blocked. They could only find a way. Without navigation and no map, could they find the way? Trapped in the wilderness, it will be worse if there is no food or drink.
Moreover, this season is when the bandits and bandits activities are most rampant. The two of them have no preparations. If they go on the road like this, it will be very dangerous. It is better to wait for this winter and go to the nearest base to inquire about the situation. By the way See if you can get a car and enough petrol before heading to the Xinchuan base.
After thinking about it, Zhao Lin felt that he made a lot of sense. She herself had just escaped from another base. After living in this abandoned farm for a few days, she found the long-lost sense of tranquility. There is enough food and there is nothing bad about living here all the time.
The Xinchuan base is her last hope of trying to integrate into the human society. If it still does not work, she plans to return to this abandoned farm and live alone like this.
Now that the decision has been made, the two will begin to prepare food for the winter.
Zhou Quchuan's clothes were a bit thin, and he had to find some warm clothes for him first.
Fortunately, although this farm is not big, many people lived in it before the end of the world. Although the death of death and the mutation of mutation have long been empty, many things in it are still preserved.
Before he settled here, Zhao Lian had already checked the surrounding houses that could be opened. Naturally, he saw a lot of corpses, but because of the long time, they had already rotted into bones.
She took Zhou Quchuan to the bedroom of a family, slammed the two mummy corpses tightly hugging each other on the bed, and then dug out a few thick clothes from the closet.
Most of the clothes are also rotten and damaged, but there are still good quality, well preserved and upper body.
Zhou Quchuan glanced at the mummy on the bed, feeling a little helpless, letting her hold her clothes and gesture on her body.
Then the two were lucky to find two thick military coats in another room, and they had coats for the winter.
After collecting clothes and shoes, Zhao Lun chopped a branch with a thick forearm, trimmed off the branches and bark, and made a simple laundry stick, let Zhou Quchuan go to the river to wash the clothes, wash them and dry them early, and it’s okay if it’s cold. wore.
Seeing that Zhou Quchuan had gone obediently holding his clothes and holding a wooden stick, Zhao Lian took the knife and walked into the nearby woods, preparing to pick some wild vegetables and fruits, cut some firewood, and see if he was lucky enough to catch some game.
Approaching noon, when Zhao Lun cut a bunch of branches, came out of the forest with a bag of wild vegetables and fruits, and prepared things and firewood in batches and moved back to the house to put them away, but he saw how many were erected on the bank of the river. The root of the tree stump is tied with a wire for drying clothes. Washed clothes are hung on the wire, and water is dripping down.
Obviously, this was done by Zhou Quchuan.
Zhao Lian felt a little surprised. Looking around the river bank, he didn't see Zhou Quchuan's figure, but there was a intensive sound of water splashing not far away. She hurriedly threw the thing in her hand to the ground and ran along with the sound.
I saw a low-lying place covered by long grass, Zhou Quchuan was closing the net, and there were a lot of river fish in the net.
Seeing her coming, Zhou Quchuan greeted, "Come and help me collect the net."
Zhao Lian walked down and helped him drag the net up. There were at least a dozen or twenty fish in it, which was not too small.
"Where did you find the fishnet?" Zhao Lun asked with some surprise.
"In the cellar next to us, I still found a few bottles of unopened white wine in it. If it is too cold in winter, you can drink two to warm up your body." Zhou Quchuan said with a blushing face. In fact, Yuwang said. He found Hejiu in a small town twenty kilometers away from here, and at his speed, it only took ten minutes to find things back and forth.
As for the zombies in the town and mutant beasts along the road? The speed of the zombies couldn't even touch his heels. As for the mutant beasts, no one dared to come forward to find death after feeling his aura.
"Even wine?" Zhao Li couldn't help but stare. She usually doesn't drink alcohol, but as Zhou Quchuan said, if it is too cold in winter and needs to drink alcohol to keep out the cold, she will drink two sips.
Zhao Lian did not doubt Zhou Quchuan's remarks, because many of these houses did have cellars, and she also searched a few. The cellar next door was locked. She hadn't opened the lock to check the situation before, but she did not expect it to be hidden inside. These good things.
It seems to find a time to carefully search all the houses here.
The fish was packed into several buckets in batches, and Zhou Quchuan once again laid out the fish nets in the water.
With so many fish, the two of them will definitely not be able to finish eating at a half-time, and they can just find a way to make dried fish as a winter reserve.
However, neither of them had experience in this area. The way they came up with was to wash the fish belly and air-dry it or use a hot charcoal kang. Now there are too few resources at hand, and they can only do their best.
Just do what they said, and the two immediately began to remove the scales and gills of the fish by the river, cut the fins by cutting the abdomen, and prepare to dry them one by one. It happened to be autumn, the weather was dry, and the wind was very strong.
When the fish is almost air-dried, put it on a charcoal-fired kang to further remove the water, and it can be stored for a longer time.
After the fish was almost processed, the two went back to the house for lunch.
Lunch is a big pot of milky white fish soup made from two fresh fish, rabbit meat and wild vegetables leftover from yesterday.
For the two hares obtained before and after, Zhao Lian tried to peel off the skins of the rabbits as much as possible. After a simple tanning, she decided to see if they could be made into gloves or shoes, which would come in handy in winter.
After living in the wild for a period of time, many things have changed from "I can't do it" to "You can do it too." From this we can see that under the pressure of survival, the potential of human beings is endless.
However, what happened today gave Zhao Lun a sense of admiration for Zhou Quchuan. Judging from what he did, he seemed to be more adaptable to this kind of wild survival than her, and he was more capable.
After lunch, at the suggestion of Zhou Quchuan, the two planned to clean up an "open air kitchen" next to the main house, which was leaky on all sides, and then cook there.
After all, this makes the main house a sleeping place, and there is no exhaust fan. Cooking a fire in it will always affect the air, and they are uncomfortable if they smell too much.
Since I still have to live here for a few months, I naturally try to make myself more comfortable.
The two checked the kitchen next door, which is a typical rural self-built kitchen in this area. The furnishings inside are very simple, except that the stove is a broken water tank, a small table, and two broken small benches. There should be something hanging on the wall, but after too long, only corruption is left. Withered, the original black remains can't be seen.
As for the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other items, even if they didn't look bad, Zhao Lian didn't dare to use them.
The two worked together to clean the kitchen, and all the broken things were thrown out. The bottom of the big iron pan was rusted so badly, and they were also lost. Fortunately, almost every household has such an iron pan, and the two separate. After searching for a while, I quickly found a suitable one.
After tidying up the kitchen, Zhou Quchuan moved all the firewood out of the kitchen and piled it up, and made a new place for hanging things with iron wire under the eaves, and hung the processed fish up to air dry.
Zhao Lian cleaned the main house again, went to a nearby house to find a bedding that was reasonably well-preserved, and re-arranged the bed.
Since she is going to live here for a few months, she and Achuan can't sleep in the same room all the time, so she plans to clean up the next room as her own bedroom.
However, she just went out and saw Zhou Quchuan was tearing down the window of the next room?
"What are you doing?" Zhao Lian hurriedly stepped forward and stopped.
"The windows of our room are broken, I'll change them." Zhou Quchuan said naturally, holding a wrench that he didn't know where he found in his hand.
"I'm going to sleep in this room, don't demolish it, go to demolish other houses."
"You want to sleep here?" Zhou Quchuan was taken aback for a moment. At this moment, several soybean-sized raindrops hit the two of them.
"It's raining, let's go back to the house." Zhou Quchuan said to Zhao Lian, and walked back to the main house first.
