Chapter Fifteen Parting Hurts the Most
I knew that this was Tang Si's last time with Dongchen, so I didn't bother him. I just tearfully checked every corner of the work area with others to make sure that no zombies that were half-length but capable of biting would hurt anyone again.
People.
Fortunately, there was only one zombie that could ambush in this bank. After the men came over and dragged all the zombies out of the work area, the work area was completely clean.
Except for the patches of black dirt on the ground, it was the blood of the people who were first eaten. After nearly two years, it has turned black.
The men threw the bodies outside the door into the heavy rain, and then brought in the old people, women and children who were waiting in the car. There was a rack specially placed for umbrellas at the entrance of the lobby for guests to use in case of sudden wind and rain. We will use it this time.
Come on, it's okay for us adults to get wet in the rain, but don't let the elderly and children get cold.
After everyone entered the bank, Tang Xiao asked me if I wanted to go to the truck to bring in the food for the evening. I saw that there was still no small rainstorm and told him to wait. Summer rainstorms are usually showers.
, it comes and goes quickly, it can’t keep raining forever, it’s better to wait for the rain to stop before going out to get something to eat. It will be too early for dinner.
Mo'er was sleeping soundly in her mother's arms, but she was suddenly disturbed and started crying unhappily. Doctor Ke'er pushed Long'er into his father's arms, walked over to Xiyan and stretched out his little finger to touch it.
At the corner of Mo'er's mouth, the child immediately opened his mouth and started looking for it, and he understood: "The child is hungry! Come, come to Ke'er's mother to have some food."
After holding the baby, Dr. Kerr looked around. There was nothing covered in the lobby, and you couldn't take off your clothes to breastfeed in public. I happened to be beside them, and I had an idea and thought that the room with the security door should be a vault.
No matter what it is, when you open the door, it's a single room!
So everyone started to look through the keys, and found several keys. I didn’t know which one they were. They tried them one by one, and finally opened the door to this room!
This room is indeed a bank vault! There are many packages of banknotes in it, piled up into a hill. The doomsday money is useless, but no one cares about it.
I pushed in two leather office chairs with wheels for Dr. Kerr and Xi Yan, and asked them to breastfeed Mo'er here first. I left the door ajar and went to arrange other things.
The first people who came in to clear the place were all wet from the heavy rain. I asked them not to do anything else, but to find the towels in their bags to dry their hair first, and then put on dry clothes. The men simply started in the lobby.
To change, the women were less wet, so they went into the bathroom of the bank to change clothes. The men had checked before going in, and it was safe.
Ai Leer and Yaoyao came to me and said, "Sister Duo, should we cook raw food over a fire tonight, or eat ready-made food?"
I looked at my friends who were shaking their hair with water droplets and said, "Eat something hot. I'm going to make gnocchi soup tonight. It'll be hot to prevent colds."
This is not hypocritical. The most terrifying thing in the last days is zombies, and the second most terrifying thing is disease. Even if we have doctors, traveling such long distances will be quite troublesome once we get sick.
The shower finally subsided, leaving only a drizzle. The men went out to transport the flour bags, pots, spoons and cutlery from the truck into the bank.
Make a delicious hot noodle soup to drive away the cold!
"Xiaoyou, go kill a chicken, Dongchen still has time to have a good meal..." I looked in the direction of Dongchen, and Tang Xiao quickly went out to catch the chicken in the big truck.
Everyone worked together to remove the rows of chairs in the customer area and move them to create an open space, and chopped up a few tables to use as firewood.
Dongchen and Tang Si were sitting next to me. I had been observing Dongchen's face. Although his face was pale, he had not turned gray yet.
The table in this bank is made of very good wood and is not easy to split. I suddenly thought of the pile of banknotes in the vault. I forgot who I heard said that banknotes are the easiest to light on fire.
Dr. Ke'er and Xi Yan had already finished feeding Mo'er and left the vault. Everyone brought the bags and piled them in the customer area, preparing to use them as fuel.
When the first bundle of banknotes burned, everyone looked regretful. In the past, for ordinary people, such a bundle would earn them three or four months. Now, with tens of thousands of banknotes, they can only earn
Can be used to make fire.
The chicken soup was boiled, and the aroma was wafting in the bank. When the chicken was finally cooked, I picked the best meat and filled a large bowl for Dongchen. I brought it to him, holding back my tears and forcing out a smile: "Dongchen
, come, there is something delicious tonight, eat it while it’s hot, it’s delicious!”
Dongchen took the chicken and tears fell into the bowl, "Is this a farewell meal, Sister Duo?"
"You bastard! You got bitten and you think I won't dare to beat you? This is to supplement your nutrition and increase your immunity! Eat it quickly, maybe the injury will be cured after eating it." I made up such a lie out of haste.
Dongchen didn't know what we were thinking, so he picked up a piece of chicken thigh and took a bite: "Smells! It smells so good! I've been craving chicken legs for a long time!"
He picked up another large piece of meat and handed it to Tang Si's mouth, "Fourth uncle, you eat too! In the past, in the cafeteria, every time we complained about the lack of meat, you would bang the big horse spoon and scold us for being greedy. In fact, we
I know, you wish you could cook delicious food for us every day!"
Tang Si gently pushed Dongchen's chopsticks away, "Silly boy, my fourth uncle doesn't like chicken, he only likes beef. You forgot, eat it quickly, you are growing up, and a bowl like this is not enough for you to quell your calamity.
"
Just as Dongchen was about to say something, he paused again, stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it and said, "Fourth uncle, then I won't be polite to you, I ate it all..."
Many people didn't want to deliberately surround the two of them and add pressure to Dongchen's heart, so they were doing whatever they were supposed to do, but they all looked at this side inadvertently, and some quietly wiped away tears.
After experiencing too many scenes like this, everyone already knows how to make the partner who is about to leave feel more comfortable. We all cry and wipe our tears around one person, who will want to die even if he is not dead.
Dongchen ate up a large bowl of chicken, and I served him another bowl of soup. He drank it all in one gulp and wiped his mouth: "It's so enjoyable! It's worth dying! Sister Duo, thank you!"
A smart boy actually understands everything!
Dongchen turned to several classmates and warned carefully: "Yang Xiaoxi, you are a girl and careful. You should remind your fourth uncle to pay more attention to his health. He is about to suffer from the old headache. You can help him massage his head! Li
Tie, Qiu Xingyao, A Zhai, Liu Jialiang, the four of you, please don’t do this to me in the future.
I have the habit of being reckless. Sister Duo reminded me when I came in just now that I am still not convinced. If I can be more cautious, I won’t lose the foothold. We are too weak in combat. In the past, I relied on my fourth uncle. In the future, you have to live up to your expectations. Do a good job.
Training, when the fourth uncle gets older, you have to protect the fourth uncle!"
Yang Xiaoxi's little face was already crying, and the other four boys were also sobbing. These five children could only nod.
Tang Si's face turned livid and his big hands clenched into fists. Until now, he had not shed a single tear.
"I seem to have a fever. I'm so sleepy. Fourth uncle, I want to sleep for a while. Don't leave..." Dongchen's face finally turned blue and gray. We looked at him sadly. He was about to mutate.
Tang Si hugged Dongchen, let him lean on his broad chest, and patted him gently, as if he were a little baby.
"Fourth Uncle, please wait a minute, don't make a move." Dongchen's voice was as small as a mosquito buzzing, but we all heard it.
Tang Si took out the watermelon knife from his waist and put it next to him, "Don't worry, kid, my fourth uncle won't let you become a zombie, that's for sure!"
I really couldn't bear the last scene. When Da Ningzi left, I was heartbroken. I couldn't bear to witness another child's head being shot!
I believed Tang Si would handle it well and left silently.
Twenty minutes later, I heard my classmates crying loudly, and then I saw Tang Si carrying Dongchen's body out of the big bronze door, but he didn't come back. I followed him out uneasily, and just walked into the door.
, I heard the heartbreaking cry of a man outside the big bronze door. Brother Tang, squatting outside the door in the pouring rain, was crying like a child!
Across the big bronze door, I burst into tears inside the door, even though I repeatedly warned myself that this is the end of the world, the end of the world! Death can happen every day, and maybe I will be the next one, but when I really face the death of my friends,
Even if you leave, I will still be heartbroken!
Several of Dongchen's classmates wanted to go out, but I stopped them. Let Tang Si cry happily outside! I understand his mood of swallowing his tears in front of the children. He regards himself as a strong father and doesn't want other people to go out.
The kids had an emotional breakdown.
I don’t know how Tang Si recovered from the pain of losing all his family members when the apocalypse occurred. These children may have become the sustenance of all his emotions!
This is a very sad night and a very difficult night.
Dad used chicken soup as the base soup. He cooked a pot full of gnocchi and stirred it in circles with a long-handled iron spoon. He looked at the faces around him that were swallowing saliva. He felt very distressed and said, "Children, let's find some."
At the right time, Uncle Zhang will make dumplings for you to eat! Pork dumplings!"
"Uncle Zhang, you have to kill the pig!" Zhang Xiaomei glanced at me.
"Just kill the pig!" Dad made the decision directly.
"Sister Duo won't let me go, she treasures those cows and pigs~" Tang Xiao started to look at me again.
"It's okay, Duoduo is my daughter, she has to listen to me." Dad replied confidently.
"Uncle Zhang's dumplings are the most delicious!" The young people struck while the iron was hot.
I was still immersed in sadness and listless, but when I heard about the pig killing, I sat up straight.
Well, at the beginning of the Long March, before leaving Bincheng, a little pig was about to become dumpling stuffing.
"Pure meat dumplings are so greasy. I have to find a vegetable field and get some cabbage, leeks, celery, whatever, right? Dad? Vegetable and meat dumplings are the most delicious!" I tried every means to protect the five little pigs.
Dad is a gourmet. He thought about it carefully and it made sense! So he agreed to my suggestion.
I secretly glared at those greedy guys, but they could only look pitiful.
In fact, I also hope that everyone can eat meat every meal, but the journey to Hainan is far away, and I don’t know how long it will take to reach the destination. I bring live pigs, cows and chickens with me in the car, so I always feel confident that I will eat them all in a few days.
