A Huang, the mutant dog, was lying on the ground at this time, with his tongue drooping, his stomach falling together, panting.
Under the gloomy sky, faint green eyes fixed on Dong Qing.
If it weren't for the bright red blood and deep bone trauma that attracted Dong Qing's attention, he would flee if he couldn't pull his leg.
"Injured?" Dong Qing moved towards the stairs slowly against the wall. It was an injured mutant beast, which he could not deal with now.
Ahuang just looked at Dong Qing, his injuries were a little heavier than expected, not to mention violent wounds, now it is hard to stand up.
No one knows why Ah Huang came to this yard. When Dong Qing "dangdangdeng" stepped on the iron stairs to the third floor, he quickly knocked on the door and was picked up by the second daughter of Xiaoya.
"What's going on?" After entering the house, Xiaoya intimately changed Dong Qing's clean clothes, while the little girl Zhao Zhenzhen curiously flipped the big bag of things Dong Qing brought back.
"I don't know, it came back from the outside with injuries two hours ago." Xiaoya shook her head.
Ahuang, the god-junior, mostly left Maicheng today, and she had scattered yellow hairs on her body. She was bitten by other mutant beasts, and white stubble bones could be seen on her belly.
The trauma of this degree is not dead, and I insisted on running back, and had to sigh the strength of the mutant beast's vitality.
While Dong Qing was still thinking about the mutant dog Ahuang, the cheers of the little girl beside Zhao Zhenzhen came, "Yeah! There is ham!"
Hearing this, Dong Qing smiled relieved.
Xiaoya also looked over excitedly, with a grunt in her throat.
Forget about mutant beast Ahuang, "Let's have a good meal tonight." Dong Qing said to the second girl.
Tonight is Dong Qing’s best meal in more than a month.
The kitchen has been vacated long ago, and now it’s cooking with fire. Some of the firewood is furniture and some are inedible bark. I live directly in the kitchen. There is a circle of simple brackets stacked with tiles around the fire and a black pot on the bracket. Is boiling.
I ate noodles made by Xiaoya herself.
Simple noodles, plus two ham sausages for one person, three people lay on the sofa after a meal, unwilling to move for a long time.
Drinking water is limited. With the two bottles of water brought back by Dong Qing, there are only five bottles of water at home. This pot of noodles cost three of them.
Such an extravagant decision, of course, was made by Dong Qing. It was not a prodigal, but he felt it necessary to eat a good meal to give a few people hope of survival.
Water is indeed very scarce, but Dong Qing has the possessions of the bags of noodles. As long as he goes a few more times in the past two days, slowly transports the bags of noodles back, and takes out some of them to trade with other survivors, he is not afraid No water to drink.
Dong Qing took a look at the three bags of noodles, and if they brought them all back, the three of them would save a little bit of food, which would be fine for four months.
It's just that this process will be very long. With the method of holding two plastic bags at a time, he only needs to talk about half a month after carrying the three bags of flour.
In fact, will Goddess of Luck take care of him for another half month? How is this possible?
Take one step, look one step, this is Dong Qing's helpless choice now.
Dong Qing, who was full, remembered something, stood up and took his Kanbao over again.
After searching for it for a long time, Dong Qing handed Xiaoya a roll of toilet paper and a bag of biscuits to the little girl.
Xiaoya knew what Dong Qing meant, her face turned red, and she hurriedly took the toilet paper and put it away. When the little girl saw the biscuits, she jumped up happily and gave Dong Qing a kiss.
"Woo, bear biscuit, I didn't expect I could still eat it." The little girl couldn't bear to open the biscuit packaging bag now, she wants to keep it, and share it with Dong Qing and Xiaoya when she is hungry tomorrow.
"Eat, I'll find you some other delicious food next time." Dong Qing smiled.
Of course, he wouldn't tell the second woman that this box of biscuits was discovered by him from the body of a dead survivor. This was to create an embarrassing atmosphere for nothing.
After resting for a while, Dong Qing and Xiaoya discussed the mutant dog Ahuang in the yard.
Ahuang is a mutant animal after all. Now that it is an enemy or a friend, Dong Qing doesn't want to put the lives of himself and others in the hands of an animal.
Not to mention, they still have food, which is the cost of living.
"Would you like to help it, I think it hurts quite badly." Xiaoya said with a frown.
"Can you guarantee that it won't bite us back?" Dong Qing asked.
When Ahuang, the mutant dog, looked at him just now, his eyes were green and faint, more terrifying than a wolf, and Dong Qing still had lingering fears.
"It hasn't moved us for two months. When you went upstairs just now, it didn't bite you either." Xiaoya didn't give up.
Do you think she is good or silly?
"That's because it hurts too badly and doesn't have the strength to bite me." Dong Qing shook his head and disagreed.
"Will you leave it alone?" Xiaoya has always listened to Dong Qing. Although she wanted to help A Huang this time, Dong Qing had to make up his mind in the end.
Dong Qing lowered his head and pondered. If the mutant dog Ahuang dies, they will not be safe in this area. There will definitely be living dead who will migrate here. After living here for two months, Dong Qing knows that there is enough space for the three of them. There are too few places, and he does not want to change places.
The group of survivors in the west coal mine are also ready to move. Without the deterrence of mutant dogs, they may come to bully them one day.
At the end of the thought, Dong Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Save! But not now, wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will be too weak to save."
Dong Qing is leaving a way for himself and others. If the mutant dog, who is seriously injured and dying, wants to disadvantage them, his weak body will not be able to support it.
Dong Qing is sure to avoid Ahuang before he reveals the intention to bite.
Two days passed in a blink.
Dong Qing did not go out in the past two days, but he went to the yard next door.
Since the mutant dog Ahuang came to them, the yard next door must be empty.
Not to mention that there was still some food and water in his original home. The materials left in a few households alone were enough to attract Dong Qing to enter.
Dong Qing did not go to pick up the tattered Old Man Liu's house, including the decayed body of Old Man Liu in the corner of the yard. Dong Qing did not touch either.
Just like Xiaoya is Dong Qing’s vein, Old Man Liu is all the mutant dog Ahuang. I wonder if the dog’s loyalty has broken through the mutant’s bloodthirsty character, or Ahuang is a unique individual. Old man Liu, his previous master, has never abandoned him.
"It may be because Old Man Liu rescued Ah Huang when he was dying, so he remembered to repay him." This is Xiaoya's explanation.
"Then we are saving it now? Will it repay it?" Dong Qing asked.
The two of them are in the yard now, their hands are blood-red, all from the mutant dog Ahuang.
The wound in Ah Huang's lower abdomen has begun to ulcerate after two days. Dong Qing is responsible for cutting off the necrotic flesh of Ah Huang, while Xiaoya, who is ingenious, uses needles and threads to patch up Ah Huang's wound.
They didn't have much orthodox medical knowledge, so they could only rely on this method to try to pull Ah Huang back from the ghost gate.
"I don't know, but it has protected our residence for so long, we should help it." Xiaoya shook her head.
"Well, I hope that when it gets better, Don't take revenge." Dong Qing patted Ah Huang on the head.
Two days ago, he never dared to do this kind of action, but two days later, Ah Huang had become dying, with more air out and less air in, making it difficult to turn his eyelids.
To be honest, their ‘pseudo-surgery’ is not as good as a regular veterinarian. They didn’t even consider the simplest disinfection. They were really crazy.
This is also a condition. Otherwise, where would Dong Qing go for alcohol disinfection?
Here, the last piece of rotten flesh was cut off, while Xiaoya also mended Ah Huang's abdomen completely.
This Nizi used to mend Dong Qing's socks, underwear and so on before. This technique is now used for surgery. From the outside, it looks like that.
"We can only help him do this, and he has to carry the rest by himself." Dong Qing patted Ahuang's head and said to Xiaoya.
"I want to feed it some food, can I?" Xiaoya asked Dong Qing for advice.
Now their food, in addition to the flour and ham brought back by Dong Qing, there are also some miscellaneous food from the original yard, instant noodles, and Chinese cabbage frozen in winter.
The food is a little richer.
Dong Qing thought for a while and said, "Okay, dogs are not picky eaters. Didn't I find out the box of expired canned sardines yesterday, and feed them all."
The collapse of the medical and health system made Dong Qing know that now he can't get even a small illness, and that he can stop eating expired things.
If the food is bad and causes illness, where can I get medicine?
If a few days ago, when they were worried about things, they wouldn’t even care if it expired or not, and they would end up starving, but the conditions are not good now.
In addition to food, there is water. Aunt Zhang's house downstairs in their house stores a large water tank all the year round. Dong Qing went to see it yesterday. There was half of the water in the tank. This coke broke Dong Qing.
They are all readily available materials, but unfortunately those who were deterred by Ah Huang did not dare to go there before. Dong Qing patted Ah Huang on the head with emotion.
Before the end of the world, he always patted Ah Huang's head. After the end of the world, he dare not to experience it again today.
Well, it's fluffy, and his head is wider than before, and he can't touch it with one hand.
After the operation, Ah Huang was very weak. In the afternoon, he passed out without saying a word. Looking at A Huang, a mutant dog the size of a calf lying on the ground, Dong Qing secretly said that it is your own good fortune.
It was also Ah Huang's coma that made Dong Qing take the opportunity to enter Old Man Liu's house boldly.
In the past, Dong Qing was the least willing to go to Old Han Liu's house. It was small and shabby, and there was no place to go.
He came here today mainly in line with the habit of ‘scavengers’ thief not going empty, to see if there is anything that can be used.
It's a pity that there is nothing. There is a lump of dough in the closet, but it is already rotten, and it grows green hair close to two centimeters high and can't eat it at all.
It's not nothing. On the top of the closet, the only piece of furniture in the room, Dong Qing found a pocket radio.
