I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 31

Ian did everything he could, and after working inside and out for half a day, his stomach was rumbling at this moment.

He took out his pocket watch to check the time, and it was already one o'clock at noon. He turned his head and glanced at Irene who was lying on the bed, and then gently closed the door.

……

He took out pots, pans, and various kitchen utensils from his backpack. Although he had a diesel generator and sufficient fuel, he did not arrange wiring, so he could only choose the original cooking method.

Take out the ready-made firewood from the unlimited extension backpack, light a bonfire, and set up a simple stove.

Considering that the other party hadn't eaten for a few days, he planned to make some liquid food that is light and easy to absorb and digest, wash rice, boil water, cook porridge, wash and chop vegetables...

The smoke from the cooking was faint, and in a short while, a pot of simple but nutritious egg and vegetable porridge was ready, and it was done after a simple sprinkle of salt.

He filled a bowl for himself first, sat on the ground to eat, maybe he was really hungry, and then added another half bowl to be considered full.

He turned around and added some water to the pot to make sure it wouldn't dry out, then he took out a chair from his backpack.

Sitting here alone in a daze, while quietly looking out the window at a small piece of plowed land, while thinking about the unconscious woman lying on the bed.

At this moment, he still blamed himself a little in his heart. If this matter had nothing to do with him, even if this woman died, he would not be too entangled.But it happened to be related to him, so he felt a little bit troubled by his conscience.

……

I don't know how long it has passed, Irene's eyelashes moved a few times, and she opened her eyes. There was no focus in her pupils, and she looked at the white ceiling in a daze.

where is this?

"hiss--"

She just wanted to sit up, but her body felt weak because she hadn't eaten for a long time, so she couldn't lift a bit of strength.

"No, why am I lying here?"

He suddenly seemed to remember something, subconsciously groped for his clothes with both hands, found that they were all intact, and then touched the small-caliber pistol at his waist, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few minutes, she still struggled to sit up.

Seeing the spotless floor, the white and clean bedding, and the surrounding walls, although there is no decoration, but being as clean as a mirror in the last days is the best decoration.

She didn't know how long she hadn't seen such a clean room, even she couldn't remember it.

Since the outbreak of the fungus, the electricity and water have been cut off. When the only remaining water in the city has become a scarce resource, she has never washed her body, let alone cleaned the room extravagantly.

After carefully looking at the environment of the room, she vaguely heard a sound outside the door, and stood up involuntarily.

Since the initial chaotic period, the whole world has been dead silent, and the only thing that can be heard is the occasional wind.

In the past, her favorite thing to sleep was silence, even the slightest sound would make her very irritable.

Now, what she fears most is silence. She must fully wind up that priceless mechanical watch and listen to the faint ticking sound before falling asleep, so that she can feel that she is still alive.

She stood up, tried her best to maintain her balance, and walked towards the door step by step.

Hold the doorknob and forcefully pull the door open, the sound can be heard more clearly, a bit like the sound of a diesel engine.

……

That's right, after eating and resting for a while, Ian felt that it was a waste of time for him to sit like this, so he successfully connected the villa to the power supply and entered the era of electricity.

At this time, she heard another voice, and she walked in the direction of the voice, walked through the corridor, and came to another room.

Ian's keen perception had already discovered her existence, and when he suddenly turned his head and saw Irene standing quietly at the door, his hanging heart was finally relieved.

Waking up and being able to move freely proves that there is nothing serious about the body.

He said angrily, "You're awake, and you work when you're hungry. You really deserve it. I'm not a sweatshop. If you haven't eaten, just tell me."

Considering that the other party had just recovered from a serious illness, Ian changed the subject and said:

"Forget it, you go sit on the chair in the living room first, I'm making porridge, and I can eat soon."

He also ate up the little porridge left before, so he had to make another one.

But this time it was much simpler. After the room was connected to the power, Ian directly took out the brand new induction cooker bought at the mall for zero yuan.

Irene looked at the figure who was cutting things in front of the chopping board, and her eyes were moist.

She has almost forgotten the feeling of being taken care of by others. She remembers that the last time it was the night before the fungus outbreak, because she was working too late and came home from work late at night, her mother, who had already slept and rested, got up again and made her a hearty meal supper.

Thinking of this, the suppressed tears could no longer be stopped, and burst out of my eyes.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ian lowered his head and cut the vegetables without noticing it.

She turned around quickly, wiped away her tears, walked silently to the living room, and said 'thank you' in a voice so small that only she could hear it.

When she reached the blind spot at the corner of the room, she looked back at the busy figure in a strange way, not knowing what she was thinking.

After walking slowly to the living room, she found that the space was obviously large, but there were only a few pieces of furniture placed there.

A low walnut round table, three high-backed chairs, and various daily necessities piled up like a hill in the corner.

I didn't know that these few simple pieces of furniture were all Ian had in his backpack.

……

Sitting on the chair, she was just staring at the two spoons on the table in a daze.

After a quarter of an hour or so, Ian soon came out with two plain white ceramic bowls containing freshly cooked egg and vegetable porridge.

"Eat."

Ian put the food on the table and sat across from her.

Irene silently picked up her spoon and ate the food in front of her in small bites. Although she was very hungry, she still maintained the elegance in her bones.

During this period, neither of them spoke, they just ate their own food in silence.

Ian was a man of few words no matter in this life or previous life, but at this moment he was a little curious about the situation on the other side.

The first time we met before, although the other party was nervous like a quail, at least we could still communicate, why did he become silent after fainting once.

In this silent atmosphere, the two quickly finished their food.

Just when Ian thought there would still be endless silence, Irene finally spoke.

"What are your plans for the future?"

After hearing the words, Ian also paused slightly, thought for a while and replied:

"I have collected enough supplies here, as you have seen, I plan to reclaim wasteland for planting. So, even if this world is over, even if I am the only one left, I will live well."

Survive alone?

Erin fell silent again upon hearing this.

Fortunately, it didn't last long this time before Ian broke it.

"So, how long have you not eaten? Your hypoglycemia is really dangerous today."

Without waiting for the other party to reply, Ian said again: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, there may not be too many survivors in this world, so I hope you can be responsible for your own life, not like today."

After thinking about it, he added:

"I can pay you the salary first. As for the work of digging the land, don't worry too much. You just need to finish it in the next two weeks. And as you can see, I have enough supplies here. If you need it, just ask."

This is also what Ian has thought of for a long time.

Whenever I look at the other party's weak and pale face and pitch-black hair, I can always think of those slender hands full of blood bubbles.

Simply, he is a good person to the end, even if he eats and lives for nothing, raising one more person is nothing to him at all.

A trace of confusion flashed in Irene's eyes, and then her voice was a little low: "Don't worry, I will finish my work, and I won't ask for your things for nothing..."

Ian rolled his eyes a little speechlessly, feeling why this silly girl was a little stubborn.

But for Ian, who has been single for 30 years in his previous life, what he dislikes the most is guessing girls' minds.

Since the other party said so, let her go, anyway, try to arrange some easy things for her to do in the future.

Looking at the somewhat dark sky, Ian took the initiative to turn on the small light, thought it over and said:

"Actually, there are still many vacant rooms here. If you need one, you can choose one to move in."

"No, I have my own home."

It was still a deep voice, but the stubborn emotion was more obvious.

But at this moment, Ian felt that it was reasonable. After all, a man and a widow lived in the same room, and it was expected that the other party would disagree.

The reason why Ian still has to mention this is just to tell the other party that he has accepted and recognized her, and hopes that she doesn't have to work so hard in the next life.

……

Probably found that such an atmosphere is really not suitable for chatting, Ian can only find something else for himself to do.

The classification and induction of various daily necessities, the placement of various foods, and the use of magic to fill empty containers with pure water.

Erin just sat quietly, watching him busy like a hamster.

Until the other party brought a box of items, she, who had been watching the whole process, of course knew what was inside.

Inside are toothpaste, toothbrush, towel and other toiletries, as well as two 5-liter bottles of purified water, as well as the previously promised potatoes, salt and other seasonings, onions, eggs and other vegetables that are easy to store, chocolate, toffee and other high-calorie foods.

The half-person-height suitcase was stuffed to the brim.

Ian pointed to this bag of luggage and said, "These are all for you. You can do whatever you want, even if you think it's an advance payment."

After a short pause, he continued:

"Also, I will build a simple reservoir next to the room tomorrow. You can come and get the water for washing and cleaning. I will set up the drinking water in the house, and you can fill it with a bottle at any time when you go back."

"Thank you, I see, I will come to work on time from tomorrow."

Ian looked at the stubborn woman in front of him, and was really too lazy to say anything, so he just waved his hand to signal that he understood.

Irene didn't say anything more, but silently pulled up the suitcase and walked towards the gate.
