Chapter 6 Little Puzzle
After splitting the legs of the stool, Guo Zhenbei closed the chopped firewood and sighed.
"Alas... I have some food in the basement. Now that I have finished eating, I have no choice but to run out! Uncle, what about the people in this building? Why haven't you seen any of them?
"Alas--!"
A long sigh seemed to be the old man's answer. After taking a breath, the old man continued to speak.
"That day, the broadcast said that only large and medium-sized cities had troops to rescue, but all of them ran away! The people in the building, when the county government retreated, some men killed all the monsters in the building with shovels and knives, and then they all ran away.
My wife is sick and there is no one to help...!"
When the old man said, there was some melancholy and some indignation.
"Those people... I only said that they would take my baby away... I knelt down and begged them, but no one helped me...!"
The old man said, and his throat choked again. The two old eyes were full of tears again. Guo Zhenbei's throat was also sore, but he didn't answer the words. When this devastating disaster comes, who can take care of whom?
It's a pity that I hid in the basement and missed the only chance to escape. I also think that I and this old man are trapped here. It will be a matter of time before I finish eating the food. Under the depression in his heart, he didn't want to say more.
At this time, the old man set up the pot before a few bricks and ignited a small pile of fire with wood fragments. This made the room warm, and the little girl also leaned against the fire with her legs in her arms.
The small but thin-looking little hand reached to the edge of the flame. Due to the cold, her little hand already had some traces of severe cold. The tender skin is wrinkled like soaked cotton paper. The small nail cover is covered with red nail polish.
I don't know why I saw this. Guo Zhenbei just had a little regret in the bottom of his heart because he took out the flour, but it completely disappeared.
A small pot with a transparent glass lid is full of thin batter, which is called "mixed soup" by Shaanxi people. This meal used all the flour, because it was sprinkled with some seasonings. The heat and the smell of food become tempting when everyone is hungry.
While the old man was cooking, Guo Zhenbei went out quietly with his bow. The sound of kicking the door downstairs is still so loud. The difference is that the screams of the zombies are much smaller.
Lying underground and stretching out the reverse mirror, you can see the situation downstairs. There was a large pile of zombies, blocking the door, and it seemed that there would be no possibility of dispersing for a while. The other rooms on the third floor are messy, and the headless corpses and blood stains on the wall have also kept people's appetite to a minimum.
What makes Guo Zhenbei most frustrated is that there is no food here, or anything that can be used as a weapon.
A hopeless search is definitely not a good appetizer. But when he returned to the room and smelled the fragrance, his mouth was involuntarily full of saliva. But what surprised Guo Zhenbei was that the old man took a total of four bowls, which made Guo Zhenbei a little confused. Isn't there only three people here? Who is that bowl for?
"Grandpa, can you put some meat for A Liang... It's what I ate yesterday..."
When he said these words, the old man who was happy because of the food frowned slightly. Not even eye-catching, he quietly glanced at Guo Zhenbei. These actions made Guo Zhenbei regret that he had disappeared and came to his mind again.
The old man smiled at him awkwardly, opened the window and brought something in from the outside.
What fell in Guo Zhenbei's eyes was a piece of meat about half a weight, black and I don't know what kind of meat.
He swallowed his saliva, although he couldn't do such a thing from the mouth of such a cute little girl. However, after taking out all the food, the old man's private hiding aggravated his regret.
"Yes, this is the end of the world, I should..."
The old man roasted the small piece of meat on the ess of the fire, then cut it into pieces with a knife and put it in the little girl's bowl.
At a strange time, when cutting every knife, the old man seems to have spent a lot of strength. Even his expression made people feel that when he cut off those meat, he seemed to be cutting his own body. After putting the little girl in the bowl, stirred it with a spoon.
Little A Liang has probably been hungry for a long time. When the old man finished everything, he could no longer hear her naive child's voice, but buried his little head and quickly put a spoonful of soup mixed with minced meat into his mouth.
"Young man, eat it quickly. It will be cold in a while..."
With a sigh, the old man picked up another small bowl and entered the inner room, and some small voices came from the room.
"My wife..."
This couldn't help but make Guo Zhenbei feel something strange, and even doubted whether the old man had hidden something in the inner room. Especially after such a long time, he didn't see the old man's "companion", which made him more uncertain in his worries.
Soon after, the old man opened the curtain, and the bowl in his hand was gone. There was some abnormal flushing on his face, but his dim old eyes were much brighter at this time.
"Young man, can you come in for a moment? I have something to say to you!"
Guo Zhenbei looked at the old man's strange reaction and slowly entered the inner room with some vigilance.
The window of the inner room shines some light. About the original bed frame has already become fuel, and an old lady on the mattress on the ground is tightly wrapped in the quilt.
The color on her face was gray, as if she had left the world. Only she opened her eyes and looked at Guo Zhenbei with some kind of examination. Seeing such a scene, Guo Zhenbei couldn't help but be a little scared and felt a little nervous.
"My God, it's not that this old lady is about to become a zombie. Is it possible that this old man is going to feed her with me?"
Thinking of such a prospect, his two weak legs are almost unable to support his body. But he didn't notice, and the old man's eyes became more strange.
"You are the kid who can kung fu!"
Although the old lady's voice was like a faint moan. But Guo Zhen was immediately relieved. In any case, this sentence at least proved that she was still a human being. However, under the almost stern examination of the old lady, Guo Zhenbei couldn't help shrinking.
Guo Zhenbei nodded his head. He didn't know how to shoot arrows. Was it kung fu? He just answered vaguely.
"Almost, that's it!"
The old lady's eyes seemed to be tired. She closed her eyes and rested for a while. When she opened it again, she looked at the old man beside her.
"I heard from you that if you meet someone again, I think he is a decent young man! Your method may work!"
The old man looked at the old lady of ** and nodded again, with red eyes but no words. The old lady closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and muttered.
"Show it to him!"
