Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 151 Search
Not only inside the house, but also on the walls outside the villa, the courtyard walls, the walls of the ginkgo orchard, and even the earth walls that surrounded the entire Yunxi Village and the fields, wherever she had placed green ivy before, during the week she slept, not only did they grow thicker and longer, but they also bloomed.

The clusters of flowers that are purple inside and white as snow outside form a sharp contrast with the lush green leaves, giving people a sense of mystery at first glance.

Especially with the temperature now approaching zero degrees, the trees are withering and the flowers are dying, making it even more apparent that the green ivy and white flowers are out of place with this land.

However, if you take a look at the row of colorful peonies placed against the wall next door, this sense of incongruity will be reduced a lot.

A few days ago, under the leadership of Xue Deng, each household in Yunxi Village planted one acre of winter wheat. The wheat seeds were prepared in advance before the weather changed.

As the weather turned cold, Xue Deng discussed it with Bai Xiangtian and decided to plant one acre first to give it a try.

Fertilize, sow, water, then cover the ground with the wheat straw left over to keep it warm, and then cover it after the seedlings sprout and grow.

Of course, it is possible that the seeds may not germinate, and an acre of land may be wasted, but how can you know the result if you don’t try?

What if at least half of them germinate successfully?

Anyway, it’s not a loss to try it. Just consider it as an experience to gain farming experience in the end times.

After the land is planted, in order to have firewood for later use, the villagers of Yunxi Village, under the command of Xue Deng, are divided into ten teams, each with fifteen people, to go out of the village to collect firewood.

Whenever we go out, we can't help but look at the white flowers on the wall, looking at them again and again.

Not only the villagers of Yunxi Village were looking at it, but even Xi Yu and Kang Erbao, who had just arrived, were also curious. It seemed that the sister-in-law's wood style was different from that of others.

Someone tried to pick a flower to take home, but just as he stretched out his hand, before he touched the petals, he saw a circle of sharp thorns suddenly appear on the edge of the flower, which was originally purple inside and white outside. The branches next to it stood up straight, just like people, staring at the other person with a fierce look, as if to say, "If you dare to pick the flower, I will hit you."

It scared the people who wanted to pick the flowers half to death.

Zhang Shaoda and others' eyes lit up when they saw this scene. This green ivy was growing on the outermost wall, and his sister-in-law was in the Bai family villa. What did this mean?
This means that after my sister-in-law’s advancement, the range she can take care of has expanded to the outside. As for how much it has expanded, we have to wait until my sister-in-law wakes up.

Bai Li woke up and walked out of the house, and couldn't help shivering.

She was wearing a pair of coral fleece pajamas placed at the head of the bed. They were very thick and warm. In the past winters when she was at home, this outfit was her reliance.

It’s not cold to run in and out of the yard.

But now Bai Li rubbed her rumbling stomach, looked at the white flowers among the emerald green leaves of the green ivy on the courtyard wall, and fell into deep thought.

Was it she who made this flower?
To be honest, after growing green ivy for so many years, this is the first time she has seen it bloom.

Don't tell me, it's pretty good-looking.

Perhaps they sensed her thoughts, but the white flowers on the wall suddenly turned and swayed gently, as if greeting her.

"Litchi, are you awake?"

Bai Li turned around and saw her second aunt looking at her with surprise. "Girl, you finally woke up. Are you hungry? There is mutton soup and a scroll in the pot. I'll heat it up for you."

mutton soup?
Bai Li was surprised, "Killing a sheep?"

Would Qiqi be willing to give it up?
Although the original intention of raising sheep and chickens was to eat, she knew very well what kind of person her son was. No matter what it was, as long as it was alive, he would raise it like he treated Xiaowu and Fengbao. Even if he was not that close to them, he would definitely not eat it.

Unless the sheep is dying for some reason.

"These are two sheep that Minglang picked up from outside. They were so thin that there were not many of them left. It was difficult to keep them, so he just killed them."

Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't raised by Qiqi.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon after dinner. The sun shone obliquely on my body, but I couldn't feel any warmth.

While eating, Bai Li had already heard from her second aunt that Jiang Minglang was currently leading people to build a wall at the border of Huacheng in the eastern district of Pengcheng.

It was Li Nan who proposed it, and he was the one who led the team to get the bricks and cement. Because zombies frequently crossed the border from Ancheng to Pengcheng, he got angry and led his team to find several brick and cement factories in Ancheng. The three-wheeled trucks made dozens of consecutive trips and finally hauled away all the raw materials for wall construction in Ancheng.

It is worth mentioning that when Li Nan went to Ancheng, he did not ask for anyone to send help.

Bai Li thought, has he gathered more capable people?
However, this thought only flashed through her mind. It had nothing to do with her anyway, so why did she care whether there was someone there or not?

After sleeping for a week and eating and drinking her fill, Bai Li changed into fleece pants and a down jacket and walked out leisurely.

When we were almost at the gate of Yunxi Village, we met a beautiful girl pushing a bicycle with a large bundle of firewood on the back seat, who was walking in through the gate.

Huh?
Who is this?
"Sister, are you awake?"

The one guarding the door today was Bai Yang. When he saw Bai Li, he immediately rushed out of the security room and was in front of her in the blink of an eye. He leaned on her face and asked, "Sister, you can really sleep a lot. A week? You actually slept for a whole week. How was it? How did it feel?"

Bai Li stretched out a finger and poked his face away in disgust. She then looked curiously at the pretty girl who was pushing a bicycle and looking at her awkwardly. She whispered to Bai Yang, "Who is this?"

"Xi Shuang, Xi Yu's sister. Do you know Xi Yu?"

Of course Bai Li knew Xi Yu. She knew almost all of Jiang Minglang's subordinates who had been with him for a long time.

"Did Xi Yu come here these two days?"

"The day after you fell asleep, Kang Erbao and Shi Jiashu came with him. They both went out with my brother-in-law."

The brother and sister had just said a few words when Xi Shuang came over pushing her bicycle.

As soon as she heard Bai Yang calling her "sister", she knew that the person opposite her was Bai Li, Captain Jiang's wife and the owner of the Baiguo Garden where she and her brother came to seek refuge.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

Xi Shuang's cheeks turned slightly red. She glanced at Bai Li, then quickly lowered her head and greeted her in a low voice.

Bai Li raised her eyebrows. This girl seems to be very introverted. Could she be socially anxious?
Bai Lixian replied with a "Hello" in the same way, then turned to look at her brother, asking him with her eyes.

Bai Yang blinked and said with a smile, "Xi Shuang, you have already picked up the fifth bundle of firewood today, right? Are you still going?"

Xi Shuang nodded and replied in a low voice, "I have to go once more."

"Then you should take this bundle home quickly."

Hearing Bai Yang say this, Xi Shuang seemed to be slightly relieved, then hurriedly pushed her bicycle away.

After she walked away, Bai Yang said, "You can see that this girl is socially anxious. Originally, Xi Yu could handle the task of preparing the wood by himself, but in order to train his sister, he gave it all to her."

In fact, Bai Li doesn’t think that social phobia is a problem. She herself is not an extrovert and is unwilling to interact with people she is not familiar with.

When Qiqi was in the first grade, her class teacher asked her if she wanted to join the parent committee. She was so scared that she quickly refused. She usually lurked in the parent group and had no sense of existence at all.

Although she is not socially anxious, she doesn't talk much.

Bai Li turned her head to look at the direction Xi Shuang left, and said with emotion, "Xi Yu is very handsome, and his sister is so beautiful too. By the way, what kind of fruit does Xi Shuang like to eat? If you don't know, just ask her and send her a bag in the evening."

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment. He looked bewildered, not understanding how his sister jumped from the topic of Xi Shuang's social phobia to her appearance, and then to giving people fruit.

Is there any connection between them?

"I'm going to go out for a while, keep an eye on the door."

When Bai Yang came to her senses, her sister had disappeared.

After a while, Xi Shuang rode her bicycle back to the gate.

Bai Yang looked at her and asked, "Xi Shuang, what kind of fruit do you like to eat?" Hearing Bai Yang talking to her, Xi Shuang subconsciously stepped on the brakes. When she turned her head to look at him, she had a confused look on her face, as if she didn't hear clearly what he said.

Bai Yang had no choice but to repeat, "My sister asked me to ask you, what kind of fruit do you like to eat?"

".durian, durian"

"."

Bai Yang was silent for a moment, then waved his hand expressionlessly and said, "Go collect firewood quickly, the sun will set soon if you are late."

Xi Shuang blinked her beautiful almond eyes, said "hmm" in a daze, got on her bicycle and walked out the door.

"Lizhi, are you awake? Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Hey Litchi, you're finally awake. Can you tell me how you made the green radish bloom while you were asleep?"

"."

"Wake up Litchi, have you eaten yet?"

".have eaten."

After leaving Yunxi Village, Bai Li walked eastward with his hands together, and along the way he met many indigenous people who were carrying firewood back to the village.

Everyone's eyes sparkled when they saw her and they greeted her enthusiastically.

Bai Li responded perfunctorily while glancing at a few unfamiliar faces, examining them closely before looking away without making a sound.

So, Yunxi Village has now made up for the population loss it suffered last time?

That's fine, as long as everyone behaves themselves and works hard on the farm, they don't mind protecting them a little more.

When almost reaching the main road, Bai Li met Bai Wei, who was riding a tricycle with a carriage full of firewood.

He was wearing an old black cotton coat. Bai Li recognized that it belonged to his father. Bai Xiangyuan often wore it when he worked.

Of course, it is only worn when working. At other times, there are naturally more decent clothes.

Bai Li's gaze paused on the old cotton coat for a moment, then moved to look at Bai Wei who was wearing an old man's hat.

"litchi."

Bai Wei stopped the car and greeted her. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, "Are you going to look for Ming Lang? Why didn't you drive? It's quite far from here."

"If I don't look for him, I'll just walk around."

She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Uncle and the others?"

"It has been buried in the ancestral tomb. Second Grandfather agreed."

"That's good," Bai Li sighed, "He can rest in peace. Besides, my great grandfather is there too."

Bai Wei laughed at himself after hearing this, "Yeah, when my grandfather is waiting for me to die, I will definitely not be able to face being buried in the ancestral tomb. Otherwise, what will I say to my grandfather when I see him? Say that I was the one who killed my father?"

Bai Li did not try to comfort him, saying that it was not his fault and that his uncle just wanted him to live well. It was meaningless and there was no right or wrong between them as father and son.

The two separated and Bai Li continued to walk east.

But not long after, she unexpectedly ran into Qiao Fei. What surprised Bai Li even more was that Qiqi and Jiji were in the car.

She glanced at Qiao Fei, thoughtfully.

Well, it seems that a lot of people came to their place during the week she was sleeping.

"Mom, mom, you're awake."

Seeing his own mother, Jiang Qi clearly goes to his parents' bedroom to take a look before going to bed every day, and even sleeps next to his mother when they are clingy, but at this moment, he still acts as if he hasn't seen her for a long time.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Qiqi jumped out of the car and threw herself into Bai Li's arms. Seeing this, Jiji, who was sitting behind, showed a hint of envy in her eyes.

Bai Li touched his son's head and asked with a smile, "Where did you two go with Uncle Qiao?"

"We went on an adventure."

Qiqi pointed to the trunk with pride and said crisply, "We went to a deserted village and found three chickens, a duck, and a basket of eggs."

After Jiang Minglang accidentally got two sheep, Qiqi and Jiji seemed to have found a new way. After class every day, they took Xiaowu out to hunt for treasure.

Meat is so precious nowadays that it is no exaggeration to call it a "treasure".

The search work was done by the two children alone. Jiang Minglang and his team only made sure that there was no one in the village at the beginning, and then they left it alone. The two children took whatever they found as exercise.

Of course, they wouldn't be too far away from them, as both little guys had whistles hanging around their necks, which they could blow in case of emergency.

"You are so capable, how about mommy go with you guys tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay. I like looking for things with my mom the most. This way, Uncle Qiao and Dad don't have to go out of their way to pick us up."

Jiji suggested, "Auntie, we can go to the north tomorrow. We have almost found all the villages in this area."

"So fast?"

Bai Li was quite surprised. After all, there were many villages in the East District, and when the zombie virus broke out at the beginning, many villages became dead villages.

"Now they are not the only ones searching the abandoned village. Mu Song and Ning An are also looking."

Qiao Fei added, "And the people in our village."

After all, who doesn't want to eat meat?

Bai Li understood, and after breakfast the next day, she drove straight north with her two children and a dog.

"Mom, why did you bring apples and pears?"

Before leaving, Qiqi saw his mother put two bags of apples and two bags of pears in the trunk. It didn't seem like they were prepared for them. After all, they had gotten tired of eating apples and pears recently.

Bai Li explained in a gentle voice, "If we meet someone who raises poultry, we might be able to exchange them for fruit."

The last change in the weather brought great harm, and there are very few humans living alone. But nothing is absolute. What if there are still one or two families hiding in some village?

If they have poultry and are willing to exchange, why not?
Unfortunately, they searched two villages in a row but did not find any survivors or live chickens or ducks.

This trip seems to be in vain.

"Why don't we stop looking? I'll drive north and see how many empty villages there are."

The two children nodded in agreement. After all, they were tired too.

The car sped along and finally stopped at the entrance of a village in the northwest of Pengcheng. Then Bai Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the people fighting not far away.
good night!
