Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

After all, it was so late, who would pay attention to a missing snake?

Lu Wei looked at the two pieces of snake corpse at his feet and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that besides the snake in front, there was another snake here?

So Lu Wei said to Jiang Meng with gratitude, "It's really thanks to you, otherwise I would have been bitten."

Then Lu Wei kicked the snake's corpse away and said angrily, "Damn, this thing scared me to death."

Jiang Meng picked up the vegetables that Li Xuan had picked. Because Li Xuan was frightened by the snake, he dropped the vegetables.

Looking at the bulging pockets, Jiang Meng knew that Li Xuan had picked quite a lot of vegetables.

After hearing what Lu Wei said, Jiang Meng said to everyone: "Now that we have the dishes and the fish, I think we should go back."

Li Xuan raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She naturally wanted to go back, so as soon as Jiang Meng spoke, Li Xuan immediately nodded.

Lu Wei was so frightened by the snake that suddenly jumped out that he no longer had the idea of ​​staying any longer. Not to mention the two little kids, Lu Jiang and Lu Hui.

So the only opinion left was Deng Qing's.

Deng Qing, who was receiving everyone's gaze, was indeed a little hesitant. As the owner of the fish pond, he still had nothing to gain. How could he leave here with nothing?

Jiang Meng seemed to see what Deng Qing was thinking.

So Jiang Meng said calmly, "I wonder if there are any snakes in the field.

By the way, I don’t know where the snake that was chasing Aunt Xuan has gone.”

As the person being chased by the snake, Li Xuan felt a chill after hearing Jiang Meng's words.

Li Xuan looked around fearfully, wondering if the snake that was chasing him had left or was still here.

Lu Jiang and Lu Hui were also extremely scared. It was such a long snake and they really didn't want to see it a second time.

Deng Qing no longer hesitated. He was more afraid of this mollusk appearing in front of him than coming up empty-handed.

So after picking up the clothes from the water, he walked towards the direction of the electric tricycle.

After seeing that everyone had gotten on the electric tricycle, Jiang Meng turned his head to look at the fish pond not far away and the weeds next to it.

In fact, Jiang Meng did not lie. There was indeed a snake inside, but it just had not yet appeared in front of everyone.

As the electric tricycle started, it left Huangguoshu and headed towards Shuidu Primary School.

No one noticed that there seemed to be several figures moving in the dark in the shadows.

After returning to Shuidu Primary School, Han Qin and Li Xuan were responsible for cooking.

As Jiang Meng was the great hero of today, no one felt comfortable letting Jiang Meng do the work, so they sat in the car with Lu Jiang and Lu Hui to rest.

Lu Wei and Deng Qing went to the bathroom to wash their clothes.

After all, the clothes are not damaged and can be worn again after washing. And you can't walk around shirtless, right?

Han Qin and the silver carp in Li Xuan's hands also successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Someone swallowed his saliva and asked: "Where did you get this fish?"

Han Qin didn't even turn around and said, "That's how I came."

As soon as these words came out, the man immediately said unhappily: "We are all from the same village, is there any need to be hesitant? It's just a fish, what's there to hide?"

Han Qin simply stopped talking and cleaned the fish in her hands with Li Xuan.

Seeing that Han Qin ignored him, the man couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Han Qin and muttered, "Who is this person?"

However, there were some smart people who guessed, "Isn't there a fish pond in our village? It probably came from there."

Many people thought his guess was reliable, so they agreed with it. At the same time, many villagers whose stomachs were growling with hunger came up with their own ideas.

If Han Qin and the others can go fishing, then naturally they can go fishing too.

The village chief Xu Ke also noticed the commotion here, so he said to the team leader Fan Xinyun next to him, "I remember that the fish pond in the village was contracted by a young man named Deng Qing, right?"

Fan Xinyun nodded immediately and said, "That's right."

After a moment's silence, the village chief Xu Ke said, "We should discuss with Deng Qing how to arrange the fish in this pond."

Fan Xinyun also knew the reason, so he immediately said, "Should we call him over now?"

Xu Ke thought that there was no time to lose and said to Fan Xinyun, "Call Deng Qing over now."

Just as Fan Xinyun was about to turn around and leave, he heard Xu Ke's voice: "Please be polite. After all, it's his things that we want."

Fan Xinyun nodded, indicating that he understood, and went to find Deng Qing.

Deng Qing and Lu Wei were washing clothes in the bathroom.

At the same time, they were praying in their hearts that the earthquake would not come. Even if it was going to come, it would have to wait until they came out of the toilet.

So Fan tried to find Deng Qing for a long time but couldn't. Finally, after asking around, he found out that Deng Qing was staying with Lu Wei's family.

Fan Xinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief after he found Lu Wei's electric tricycle, but after looking carefully, he did not see Deng Qing.

So Fan Xinyun asked Jiang Meng and the others, "Do you know where Deng Qing went?"

After hearing what Fan Xinyu said, Jiang Meng and Lu Qiu looked at each other. They knew who Fan Xinyu was, but they didn't know why Fan Xinyu came. How could they tell where Deng Qing was?

As a native of Shuidu Village, Lu Qiu really couldn't lie to an official like Fan Xinyu.

So Lu Qiu's face was conflicted for a while, and finally he couldn't help but want to speak to Fan Xinyu.

Jiang Meng asked Fan Xinyun, "What do you want to talk to Deng Qing about?"

Lu Qiu has a natural awe for people like Fan Xinyu, but Jiang Meng doesn't.

So Jiang Meng asked without any hesitation.

After hearing Jiang Meng's question, Fan Xinyun looked at Jiang Meng with some confusion. Who is this little girl? She looks familiar, but he can't remember her name.

Jiang Meng looked at Fan Xinyun's eyes and knew what he was wondering about, so Jiang Meng introduced herself to Fan Xinyun: "My name is Jiang Meng."

Just when Fan Xinyu was still waiting for Jiang Meng's next words, she suddenly stopped. It turned out that she only introduced her name.

But these are not big deals. Our main goal now is to find Deng Qing.

So Fan Xinyun coughed twice and said to Jiang Meng, "I am looking for Deng Qing because I have something to ask. It's not just me who wants to see him, the village chief also wants to see him."

Jiang Meng was a little speechless, but still said: "Then what do you want to see Deng Qing about?"

Fan Xinyu immediately felt that Jiang Meng was a difficult person to talk to, so he turned his attention to Lu Qiu next to him. People of this age tend to speak honestly.

When Lu Qiu felt Fan Xinyun's gaze, he immediately felt uneasy, thinking, why is he looking at me like that? Is he really up to something bad?

So Lu Qiu thought about it, what were he and Deng Qing doing today, wasn't it just catching fish?

Thinking of this, Lu Qiu secretly thought, Oh no, this guy, is he trying to steal my fish?

Then Lu Qiu's eyes started to look strange when he looked at Fan Xinyun.

Fan Xinyun thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, we are looking for Deng Qing for no bad reason, we just have something we need to discuss with him."

After hearing this, Jiang Meng looked at Lu Wei and Deng Qing who were walking back not far away, and said to Fan Xinyun: "Do you want fish?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qiu suddenly became a little nervous, and looked at Fan Xinyu closely, not wanting to miss a single word he said, for fear that Fan Xinyu was really here to ask for the fish.

Even though Jiang Meng had revealed the secret, Fan Xinyun didn't say anything, as this was his original purpose.

So Fan Xinyun immediately nodded and admitted, "Yes, but this is also for everyone's sake."

After hearing what Fan Xinyu said, Lu Qiu immediately got out of the car and wanted to inform Deng Qing and his son.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Qiu got off the car, he saw Deng Qing and Lu Wei returning.

The two were standing not far away, and Deng Qing's facial expression was somewhat puzzling.

Lu Wei's expression was also a little strange.

Because they just heard the conversation between Jiang Meng and Fan Xinyu.

Lu Qiu's actions were immediately noticed by Fan Xinyu, who followed Lu Qiu's gaze.

Naturally, he saw Deng Qing. Fan Xinyun quickly walked over and said to Deng Qing, "So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time. The village chief wants to discuss something with you."

Deng Qing looked a little hesitant. He knew that Fan Xinyu and the village chief would not ask for even a penny if they came to him. They might even want his entire fish pond.

It would be really strange to say that there was no hesitation at all.

Those fish and those construction projects were all bought with real money, that's a lot of money.

But Deng Qing also knew that the current situation was special. To survive, one had to eat.

If you skip one or two meals, it's fine, but what happens after that? That will definitely be a big problem.

So after some hesitation, Deng Qing decided to take this trip.

At least there is still a chance to negotiate. If this matter is not resolved, the fish pond may have a new owner.

After all, the fish pond is there and you can't take it away.

Lu Wei looked at the backs of Deng Qing and Fan Xinyun as they left, and said with a curled lip, "It seems that we won't be able to eat fish this conveniently in the future."

Jiang Meng thought so too. It seemed that everyone understood the reason.

Lu Qiu also sighed, but what else could they do? They couldn't do anything, so they could only go with the flow.

Lu Jiang and Lu Hui were too young, so they only had a vague understanding of the matter, but that did not stop them, as they watched with great interest.

After a while, Li Xuan and Han Qin came back with the cleaned fish.

There were three in total, two of which were silver carp discovered by Jiang Meng, and the other one was discovered by Deng Qing.

However, when Deng Qing was frightened by the snake and forgot about the fish, the fish was picked up by Jiang Meng.

Due to the current limited conditions, everyone knows that these fish cannot be cooked even if they want to.

So when Jiang Meng saw these fish being skewered on tree branches by Li Xuan and Han Qin, he knew that these fish were going to be roasted and eaten.

Lu Wei and Lu Qiu started to make a fire on the spot. Since they both had lighters, making a fire was the easiest task.

After a while, flames appeared from the collected firewood, making everyone feel warm.

These firewoods are also collected locally.

Due to the earthquake, the teaching building of Shuidu Primary School has obviously cracked.

The firewood being burned was the tables, chairs and benches in the teaching building. Every time we went in, everyone was very careful, for fear that the building would collapse.

As everyone put the fish skewers on the fire to roast, waves of fishy smell came out.

At this moment, Han Qin took out the seasoning that she had prepared long ago.

It can be seen that these seasonings are also extremely simple.

It is a seasoning made by simply pinching some leek leaves, ginger, and chili peppers with your fingers.

Obviously, it was Li Xuan who picked those from the ground.

Jiang Meng didn't care about these things. It was already very difficult to eat a bite of clean food on days like this.

Li Xuan looked at the fish meat that was about to be cooked and asked, "The meat is almost cooked, where is Deng Qing?"

Han Qin was also a little confused.

Lu Wei sighed and said, "He was called away by Fan Xinyun."

Li Xuan hadn't reacted yet, and asked in confusion: "What do you want to see him about?"

Lu Wei shook the fish skewers in his hand and said to Li Xuan, "Because of the fish."

Li Xuan immediately exclaimed "Ah", as if he was very surprised.

Then Li Xuan fell silent. This was none of their business and there was nothing they could do.

Han Qin couldn't help but say, "If our breakfast shop hadn't collapsed, we might have been called away too."

No one wanted to refute, and it was obvious that what Han Qin said was right.

At this time, the fish was also grilled, and everyone was already hungry, so they started to feast on it immediately.

Jiang Meng also took a bite of the fish and thought to himself, the fish is pretty good with its original flavor.

But after the second bite, Jiang Meng could smell the obvious fishy smell, but it was still tolerable.

It was not until the third bite that Jiang Meng said she wanted to take it back if she could still bear it.

It can be seen that Lu Wei, Li Xuan and others' expressions are not very good either.

But they were reluctant to throw away the fish in their hands, as it was food. Lu Wei and Li Xuan had no choice but to endure the fishy smell and continue eating.

Lu Jiang and Lu Hui, two little kids, don't have the same patience as adults.

Lu Jiang and Lu Hui would rather not eat it. They didn't want to eat such disgusting food. They both handed the fish skewers in their hands to Lu Wei, obviously not wanting to eat any more.

Li Xuan looked at Lu Jiang and Lu Hui's actions and said disapprovingly: "If you don't eat, you will be hungry tonight."

Lu Hui immediately said, "You can be hungry if you want. I don't want to eat anyway."

Lu Jiang, who was standing by, had the same idea and nodded quickly.

Li Xuan was still trying to persuade her.

Han Qin, who was standing next to him, said, "Let's go to the store tomorrow to see if we can find a pot. This really doesn't taste good."

After hearing Han Qin's words, Jiang Meng immediately put the fish skewers in his hand into a clean pocket. Jiang Meng didn't want to endure eating it and then vomit it out.

The same goes for Lu Jiang and Lu Hui. Although the fish skewers are not tasty, they will not throw them away randomly.
