After finishing speaking, Dazhuang glanced around, confirmed the number of people, and then continued: "There are currently ten people in total. Except for Xiaoyu who needs to rest due to injury, the remaining nine are just right."

"What's good?" Lao Cheng asked curiously as he pulled the bones on the ground into the fire and burned them.

"The vigil lasts one hour for each person until dawn. Let me start first. Then follow the order in which you are seated, starting from the left and so on."

After saying that, Dazhuang stood up and walked under the eaves, intending to move the broken tables and chairs away so that everyone could rest against the wall.

Everyone was tired after a long day, so they each chose a cleaner area, and soon fell asleep. Although it was not as comfortable as sleeping on the bed, at least the surroundings were safe.

In other words, your life is most important now, and you can consider other things later.

In order to prevent everyone from catching a cold, two fires were rekindled under the eaves and surrounded by stones.

Dazhuang sat alone in front of the fire in the courtyard, with bows and arrows beside him. He occasionally added some wood to keep the fire from extinguishing.

......

The ordinary night passed quickly. As soon as it was dawn, everyone woke up one after another. However, they were all a little bit out of spirits. There was nothing they could do. It was too uncomfortable to sleep against the wall.

Since Lin Yi was the last person standing vigil, she also boiled water for everyone.

Nowadays, in the apocalypse, there is no distinction between high and low. At this moment, she is not only a doctor, but also a trustworthy partner.

Lao Cheng pressed his neck and said depressedly: "The last time I had a sore back and neck while sleeping like this was ten years ago when I was riding a train. It was really painful."

Hearing this, Lin Yi raised his head and said with a smile: "After boiling hot water, you can warm your hands a little and cover the back of your neck for a while to relieve the discomfort."

"Forget it, let's boil it and drink some first. The well water should be drinkable, right?" Lao Cheng walked to the fire and sat down, curious.

"Of course, just boil it." Lin Yi replied, then got up and went to get wood.

"Then I'm relieved." Lao Cheng yawned. He looked around, then looked at his watch, and said, "Have Dazhuang and the others set off?"

"Yeah." Lin Yi walked back with the wood in his arms and said softly: "They set off around six o'clock and let us have breakfast by ourselves. They brought dried meat."

"Okay, just wait until I bring someone to tidy up the house and try to live in it tonight."

Afterwards, everyone simply washed their faces. As for brushing their teeth, there was nothing they could do, and they didn't have time to bring much out.

The courtyard where we stayed had a total of four houses, two of them facing the courtyard gate, and the last two on the left and right. However, there were a lot of dried cow dung and the like inside, and the ground was also very dirty.

Throughout the morning, Laocheng took Xiao Kong and Huang Lulin, and the three men were responsible for carrying out the large rotten furniture, while Xiao Ning and Yang Zi carried the half iron pot and sprinkled water everywhere inside to make the dust thicker. Good to clean up.

Then Lao Cheng used the weeds pulled from the cowshed and tied them to wooden sticks to make a simple broom.

A few hours later, the interior of the house looked brand new. Although it was still very dilapidated, at least it had underground floors and walls to block the wind.

"This seems to be a kang, right?" Xiao Ning stood in the room on the left side of the house, looking at the stone bed built in front of her, and shouted curiously.

"I have one here too!" Yang Zi responded loudly with excitement in his voice.

Even Lin Yi couldn't help but ran in to take a look at the thing she found. Then she smiled and said: "In this way, we can have a warm sleep at night in the next few days~"

......

The day passed quickly, and the other three people came back one after another in the evening, returning with a full load and an extraordinary harvest.

There were two bangs and bangs. Dazhuang stood in the yard and dropped a few pheasants and hares on his shoulders. He pulled his neck and shouted: "Old girl, give your brother some water, I'm dying of thirst!"

"Come on, come on." Yang Zi ran out of the house holding a white porcelain bowl.

Dazhuang took it and took a sip. It was a little cold, so he frowned and said, "Can this well water be drunk directly?"

Hearing this, Yang Zi turned around and replied: "This is boiled water. It has been boiled a lot and has been cooled down. Otherwise, what do you think we are doing today?"

After saying that, she curled her lips and continued to walk into the house, preparing to bring a bowl of water to Xiao Jiu and Hong Wu.

The three of them had been out hunting all day. They had no tools to bring water, so they must have been thirsty.

Soon the other two also walked into the yard carrying some prey, mostly birds and squirrels, but Xiao Jiu had something hanging around his neck.

The sky was a little dark, so Yang Zi didn't see clearly. He was shocked when he carried the water over, and the bowl almost broke. Fortunately, Xiao Jiu reacted quickly and reached out to catch it.

"Snake...Why is there a snake around your neck..." She said with a trembling voice and took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu scratched his head in embarrassment, took off the snake and said, "It's dead, non-venomous, don't worry."

Lin Yi, who heard the noise, thought something had happened and ran out of the house quickly: "What's going on?"

Then when she saw clearly, she stepped forward, hugged Yang Zi and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Brother Xiao killed the snake head, it won't change the world."

Yang Zi patted his chest, looked at the empty bowl in Xiao Jiu's hand, and said with a blush, "Sorry, I'll get you another bowl of water."

Then she walked into the house with the empty bowl.

When Dazhuang saw this scene, he came over and explained: "Well, my sister is very afraid of snakes, so her reaction was a bit big. I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu took the snake and walked to the fire and sat down. He smiled bitterly and said, "I forgot about this. Xiaoyin is also afraid of this thing. Sometimes she catches one while hunting and she doesn't even dare to look at it. After it's ready or cooked, you'll still be able to eat it with gusto..."

Upon hearing this, Dazhuang immediately asked curiously: "Where is Xiaoyin, why didn't you see her?"

"Staying with the rats."

Lin Yi came over with a bowl and handed her the water. Then she squatted down and looked at the snake in front of her, and asked, "Isn't it winter now? How can I still catch a snake?"

Xiao Jiu finished drinking the water, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, turned around and said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of this thing? I thought girls were afraid of snakes."

Dazhuang laughed and explained: "Xiao Lin is a surgeon, but she is very powerful. Ordinary animals have no effect on her."

"Oh, no wonder." Xiao Jiu nodded, and then continued: "The hare was running around and happened to find a hole. When I saw it, there happened to be a snake coiled inside, and I caught it."

"Then I have to thank you on behalf of Chen Yu. Now this thing is a timely help." Lin Yi stretched out his finger to poke the snake's body and said softly.
