Chapter 297 – Raising A Child In An Apocalypse (part 6)
There were not many people on the road, but there seemed to be traces of people living in the houses on both sides of the road. When they saw their cars driving on the road, there was some movement.
A few cars drove out and followed a distance away, but more people closed their doors and prepared to wait for the arrival of the ZF rescue team. It was said on the radio that they should not be in a hurry and that they should wait patiently.
Jiang Fang and others also saw the car behind, but they didn’t care.
“Eldest brother, why should we follow them?! Why don’t we just stay where we are and wait for the rescue team? It is dangerous outside!” A small yellow-haired man said angrily as he leaned half of his body out of the window.
“What do you know?! Look at that car!” the man driving said angrily.
“Isn’t it a Land Rover? What’s so amazing about it? Now is not the same as before. If you eldest brother wants it, then it shouldn’t be too hard to get,” little yellow-hair said flatteringly.
“Idiot! Did I say a car? I said…” The man was short on words and didn’t know how to explain. “Look at other people’s cars, and then look at ours. Can you see the difference?”
Little yellow-hair took a serious look and shook his head. “No.”
“Forget it! It’s so hot, but we don’t dare to turn on the air conditioner. Why? It wastes fuel! But the car’s windows are closed, so the air conditioner must be turned on. It’s an apocalypse, and so having the air conditioning on is such a luxury. They must be capable. Maybe there are space ability users in the car. Follow them!” the man said.
Little yellow-hair suddenly realised this point. “Eldest brother is eldest brother. Eldest brother is so powerful. How could I have never thought of that?!”
The man couldn’t help but roll his eyes. If his parents didn’t hold his hand before they died and asked him to take care of this silly little brother, he wouldn’t have bothered to care about him! This man was so stupid. If it weren’t for him for so many years, this stupid younger brother would have been bitten to death.
There were many people who shared the same thoughts as these brothers.
After a while, Jiang Fang looked around. “Would you like to stop and take a break?” Perhaps they should solve their physiological needs?
Li Su first pinched the diaper that Wang Yao was wearing. It was time to change it. Usually, when she was on the road, Li Su would put on a diaper for Wang Yao, just because she was afraid that the child would not be able to control it.
She looked at Jiang Xiaoya again. Jiang Xiaoya nodded. She always felt uncomfortable with her stomach area. It seemed that it was really coming and she needed to find a place to deal with it.
“Okay!”
Jiang Fang parked the car on the side of the road. Jiang Fang and Jiang Xiaoya got out of the car and accompanied Jiang Xiaoya to find a place to deal with matters. Li Su stayed in the car to change Wang Yao’s diapers.
After a while, Jiang Fang and Jiang Xiaoya came back. Jiang Xiaoya covered her stomach. Her face was not very good.
“Do you have that on you? If not, I’ll get it for you. Just change it in the car so you don’t have to run back and forth. Then, put the chair down, close your eyes, and have a good rest. Turn off the air conditioner! I have a warm baby here! Stick her on your stomach. There is hot water in the thermos. Let me make you a cup of brown sugar ginger tea!” Li Su knew what was going on when she saw her.
“Thank you, older sister Li!” Jiang Fang was also a little worried. He knew that Xiaoya’s period would be ahead of schedule, so they should have left later. Xiaoya could also rest well.
Jiang Xiaoya smiled reluctantly. “Don’t turn off the air conditioner. I’m afraid of the heat. I’ll be fine. I’ll just cover my stomach with a towel later.”
Li Su got out of the car with Wang Yao in her arms and stayed at the side of the car with Jiang Fang. Li Su thought for a while and said, “Since Xiaoya is like this, those raw and cold things can’t be eaten anymore. Keep driving and find a place to settle. I will cook some red date porridge or something and put it in a thermos for when she is hungry. She can then just eat a little. If it’s too uncomfortable, then find a place to rest!”
Jiang Fang nodded. “Okay!”
After a while, Jiang Xiaoya opened the car door with a pale face. They quickly got into the car. Jiang Fang then observed the environment on both sides while driving and then found a relatively safe place to stop.
Jiang Xiaoya and Wang Yao stayed in the car. Jiang Fang went to the side of the road to find some firewood, Li Su took the pot and rice from the space. The two of them made rice and porridge. Since she was going to do it, then she would simply do more. In addition to red date porridge, she boiled some eggs and hot water.
A few cars in the back saw that they stopped, so they also stopped. At first, they didn’t know what they were going to do. They just felt that these few people were too much. After waiting for a while, when the people in the car behind saw this scene, their eyes almost popped out. They were blowing hot air in the car, sweating profusely, and eating dry bread and steamed buns. If there was no water-type ability user, even drinking had become a luxury. They were really good. They still had the leisure to cook with a fire?
Were they daring, or were they stupid and naive?
After a while, the smell wafted over.
The people in the car behind ended up smelling the fragrance, and they were almost drooling. How long had it been since the start of the apocalypse and when was the last time they ate normally?
Some people couldn’t help but be tempted and want to ask for something to eat. But no one dared to go.
Finally, a car door opened and a woman wearing suspenders and hot pants with a bulging front and back got out of the car. She looked at the car mirror and was a little dissatisfied with the dirt on her body, but her face was still very beautiful. The woman was very confident in herself, twisting her waist and walking towards Jiang Fang and Li Su.
“Eldest brother, can I ask you for a bowl of porridge? I’m not feeling well!” the woman said tenderly.
Jiang Fang didn’t lift his head, but concentrated on stirring the pot with his spoon.
“Can you add more brown sugar?” Li Su asked with a bag of brown sugar.
“Okay, add less. If it’s too sweet, she won’t like it.” Jiang Fang said.
Li Su added some brown sugar in and then put away the rest of the brown sugar.
From beginning to end, the two of them ignored the woman.
The woman was not discouraged. During apocalyptic times, in order to survive, she didn’t need face or dignity. “Eldest brother…” She squeezed over to Jiang Fang’s side, trying to impress Jiang Fang with her plump upper body.
“It’s almost done, first take a bowl out and bring it to Xiaoya, and I’ll put the rest in a heat preservation bucket.” Seeing this scene, Li Su hurried over and pushed the woman away from Jiang Fang!
Jiang Fang nodded, filled a bowl of porridge, and got into the car. Li Su poured the remaining porridge into the thermos, put away the boiled eggs, and poured the boiled hot water into the warm water bottle.
Jiang Fang came out with an empty bowl. “Older sister Li, get in the car first. I’ll clean up here.”
Li Su nodded and got into the car with something.
Jiang Fang washed the pots and pans with water, put out the fire, and was about to get into the car. When the woman saw this, she quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed Jiang Fang. “Eldest brother, I’m begging you. If I don’t bring anything back, they will…”
Saying that, the woman lowered her head and wiped away tears.
Jiang Fang frowned slightly, broke away from the woman’s hand, turned around and took a can of eight-treasure porridge from the car. He threw it into the woman’s hand, got in the car, and drove away.
The woman’s eyes widened. A car stopped in front of her and a bald man leaned out halfway. “Get in the car!”
The woman quickly got into the car sullenly.
As soon as she got in the car, the eight-treasure porridge in his hand was taken away by the bald head. He shoved it in his mouth. The woman didn’t dare to say a word and shrank aside!
In front, Jiang Xiaoya was lying weakly in the passenger seat. She suddenly sat up, uneasy.
As a fellow woman, Li Su immediately understood what was going on. “Jiang Fang, this is not good. Hurry up and find a place.”
Jiang Fang glanced at Jiang Xiaoya. He knew that every time Xiaoya had her period, she would be very uncomfortable. “Okay, that’s it! You guys stay in the car first, and I’ll see if there are any zombies.”
Jiang Fang parked his car in front of a two-story building on the side of the road, got out of the car first, and walked in.
The people behind saw that they planned to stay here, but it was neither late nor early. Was it necessary to rest? It wasn’t until Jiang Fang came out of the building and the people in the car got out that they smelled blood in the air.
“Women are trouble!” The bald head scolded, but he stopped the car and did the same. He found a house nearby and stopped.
Although there were many women in the car, they were cleanly dressed and looked good. They were not like other women in the apocalypse at all. They were probably also ability users. They may also have a space ability, so they should not be underestimated. After all, it was a good idea to follow them!
Some of the other cars also stopped. Some weighed their options and left.
“There used to be a family of five living here, but they were all killed by zombies. Don’t stay upstairs or in the west houses. You can stay in this house at night. I’ll keep watch.” Jiang Fang helped Jiang Xiaoya into the house.
“You keep watch for the first half of the night. I will keep watch in the second half of the night. You have to drive tomorrow. Xiaoya, you go to the toilet first. This is for you.” Li Su took out a bag of night pants and a set of clothes from the space and handed them to Jiang Xiaoya.
Jiang Xiaoya was moved to tears. “Older sister! If it wasn’t for you, I’d be screwed!”
Jiang Fang was a little sad. He also had these in his space. He had various brands, various models, various styles, mesh, cotton, 420mm, 250mm, and night pants! Why didn’t Xiaoya ask him for it!
Seeing Jiang Fang’s sad expression, Li Su couldn’t help but laugh. She turned around and carried Wang Yao into the bedroom, took off the diaper on her body, washed her little butt, and took out the tablet. “Okay, if you want to go to the bathroom, go by yourself. If you need mum’s help, just call mum. Mum will make you something to eat now.”
“Older sister, there is hot water here. You can take Yaoyao to take a bath later!” Jiang Xiaoya said softly.
Jiang Fang was just outside the bathroom door. “Xiaoya, don’t wash for too long or you may faint. Have you washed your hair? I’ll get you a hairdryer. There’s a Dyson hairdryer in my space. Come out and I’ll give it to you so you can dry your hair!”
Li Su held back a smile, turned around, and went into the kitchen. There was still gas. Now, it was time to start a fire. “Should we have something hot for dinner tonight?”
Jiang Fang nodded. “Older sister Li, do you know how to kill chickens? There are chickens in my space. Kill a chicken to make something for Xiaoya!”
Li Su felt envy, jealousy, and hatred in her heart. There were also a few chickens in her space, but they were dead and had shrunk. They were not like chickens in other people’s spaces, which were still alive!
“Okay, let’s have chicken soup tonight!”
“I’ll catch some more shrimp so we can have a good meal tonight,” Jiang Fang said with a smile. There were many living creatures in his space, but unfortunately his cooking skills were not very good. At least older sister Li’s cooking skills were good.
Jiang Xiaoya also came out of the bathroom. Jiang Fang immediately sent the chicken and shrimp to the kitchen and greeted her with a hairdryer.
Li Su was busy in the kitchen. Jiang Xiaoya carried Wang Yao to the bed and the two watched the Wang Wang on the tablet. With a pile of snacks piled up beside him, Jiang Fang sat beside her. He served the two beauties, one big and one small.
