Chapter 48 Raining
The next morning, he woke up very early, but he listened to the sound of rain outside and it was too warm in bed, so he did not get up.
After a while, the rain did not stop. Instead, it became heavier and heavier, almost becoming a downpour.
He suddenly remembered something, climbed out of bed suddenly, picked up the Earth Hammer and walked out.
Not long after, Wang Qiushui woke up. To be precise, she was woken up. She stretched first and said, "Ah, it feels so comfortable. I don't even want to get up."
Then, she discovered that Li Wending was not in the room. At the same time, there was a loud noise in her ears from time to time, so she quickly changed her clothes and walked out.
When she arrived on the fifth floor, she found Li Wending breaking down the door. She couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you breaking down these doors? Aren't our things enough?"
In order not to waste energy and time, they only broke open the doors of some rooms before, leaving many of the remaining doors unopened. Moreover, they had just raided so many food and convenience stores, and they should have enough food and supplies. There was no need to spend a lot of effort breaking down the doors.
He said without looking back, "It's raining harder and harder now. I'll take this opportunity to hold more water, so I came to break down the door and take out all the buckets and other containers here."
Wang Qiushui asked in confusion, "But didn't the convenience store bring back a lot of pots and buckets?"
He kicked the door open, then turned around and said, "It's finally raining so heavily. Of course we need to collect more. These are likely to be our water resources in the future. As for the next heavy rain, we don't know yet. Until when?”
Wang Qiushui nodded, "Then you can break down the door and I'll be responsible for taking out those buckets."
He thought for a while and finally said, "Be careful. Check the situation before going out. Don't go too far from the gate. By the way, remember to bring an umbrella so you don't get caught in the rain."
It was difficult to control two bodies at the same time, and in that case, there would be no time, so he did not choose to transform.
Wang Qiushui responded, picked up the dripping umbrella and several buckets and basins and walked down.
And he continued to smash the door.
The two of them just divided the work and cooperated. After a while, all the buckets and basins were taken out, and they were full in front of the door.
When everything was completed, the two of them went directly back to Wang Qiushui's room. Anyway, they just had to wait here until the rain stopped before going down to get water. And at this rate, we can probably stock up on a lot of water.
He stood by the window and looked outside.
Wang Qiushui stood next to him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
He sighed, "It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil. People often have to wait until it rains before planting seeds. Now it is useless no matter how expensive it is. There are not many people alive and no one dares to plant seeds."
Wang Qiushui also sighed, "Yes, who would have thought that the end would come so soon?"
He thought for a moment and then asked, "When you were outside just now, did you notice what those people in the apartment were doing?"
Wang Qiushui was stunned, "You don't want to kill them all now, do you?"
After all, it's raining heavily right now, so it's impossible to go out and look for anything. Combined with what he said yesterday, this is a very possible choice.
He shook his head, "Tell me first, did you see anything?"
Wang Qiushui thought for a while, "I looked up accidentally just now and found that they were very happy to take out buckets and basins and put them on the windowsill to fill the water. They even held the cups with their hands and stretched out the window to collect water. Some even While picking it up, I started taking a shower. By the way, do you think we should take a shower together? I haven’t had a shower for a long time. It would be very comfortable if I could shower directly under the rain."
He shook his head, "Aren't you afraid that they will see you taking a shower?"
Wang Qiushui blushed, "Then you can walk to the side, where they can't see you."
He still shook his head, "Forget it."
At this time, Wang Qiushui looked at the several flower pots beside the window sill and said in surprise, "Your potatoes and sweet potatoes have sprouted. Doesn't that mean that we will all have potatoes and sweet potatoes to eat in the future?"
Potatoes are selected and sprouted and planted directly, while sweet potatoes are cut into small pieces and planted. Both of these can be propagated through rhizomes.
He smiled and said, "Not only these two, but also sweet potato leaves."
Wang Qiushui was stunned for a moment, "I never knew sweet potato leaves could be eaten."
He gently fiddled with the tender shoots that had just emerged from the sweet potatoes. "Of course the sweet potato leaves can be eaten, but you have to choose those that are tender, as the old ones will not taste good. Also, you have to peel off the outer skin." To remove it, the best way is to scald it with boiling water first, then it will be much easier to peel it off.”
Wang Qiushui asked curiously, "Can't you just peel it off? It feels so wasteful to use boiling water. It wastes water and gas."
He nodded, "Yes, it's okay, but it just costs my fingernails. I bought a pound of sweet potato leaves and peeled them for two hours, which made my nails hurt. Later, I never bought this thing again until I read online that you can scald the skin off with boiling water.”
Wang Qiushui laughed directly, "I never thought you could be so stupid."
He also smiled, "It's indeed quite silly."
At this time, Wang Qiushui directly picked up the sweet potato and said, "Since spring rain is as expensive as oil, let's let it drink more. I hope it will grow up faster so that we can have sweet potato leaves to eat."
He suddenly stopped Wang Qiushui and said, "No."
Wang Qiushui was stunned, "Why? There is free rain now, isn't it good?"
He shook his head, "This rain is so unusual. Spring rains don't fall so hard. Only summer rainstorms do this. Moreover, this is the first rain after the end of the world. No one knows whether there will be rain inside." With a zombie virus or something.”
Wang Qiushui put the flower pot back to its original place, "So you just told me to hold an umbrella, but you didn't let me go out to take a shower? Wait, what will happen if the people in the apartment drink it directly?"
He sighed, "I don't know either, but now I just let them try it. I guess they saw us filling the water and thought it was drinkable, so they felt relieved."
Wang Qiushui was stunned.
He looked at the two little turtles and said, "Even if they don't drink, they will die of dehydration sooner or later. Besides, they are bound to die. It's a good thing that they can help us test the poison now." Otherwise, we may have to rely on the two of them.”
Wang Qiushui nodded, but she still felt uncomfortable thinking that several lives might disappear in a short while.
He said no more and continued to watch the rain.
