Chapter 297
"It's okay, Wanwan, mom and dad are all in the community. Dad and grandma should have gone home by now. Our mom is usually in the vegetable greenhouse, which is surrounded by brick walls, so it should be safe." Qi Mingyu hurriedly comforted.
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Yes, and they always carry backpacks when they go out. Even if there is an emergency, the things in the backpack should be enough to deal with it."
Qi Mingyu nodded and patted Mu Mu's shoulder again: "Mu Mu, don't worry too much. We will go back after the acid rain stops."
Mu Mu nodded vigorously and grinned: "Sister, brother-in-law, my hand hurts."
Just now, he had a small wound on the back of his hand caused by acid rain.
Zhou Shuwan hurriedly took out a tube of medicine, a bottle of iodine and alcohol cotton from his backpack to help Mu Mu treat the wound.
After helping him deal with it, she carefully bandaged it and warned him, "Acid rain is too corrosive. This kind of wound will leave a scar. Mumu, you have to be careful with what you do and let the wound heal on its own."
Mu Mu nodded in response.
Zhou Shuwan turned around and looked at Qi Mingyu: "Show me your hand."
Although Qi Mingyu made no noise while driving, a few drops of acid rain actually leaked from the roof of the car. He was wearing an acid rain-proof suit, but his hands were on the steering wheel, so there was no way to avoid it.
But he can bear it.
Qi Mingyu smiled embarrassedly and stretched out his big hand.
There were three or four small wounds on the back of each of his hands, which had now been corroded very deeply and were bloody and mangled.
Mu Mu bit her lip and hurriedly helped her sister open the bottle of iodine.
Zhou Shuwan carefully helped Qi Mingyu treat his wound. The latter endured the burning pain, and a few drops of sweat oozed from his temples.
His palms have always been Zhou Shuwan's favorite. The joints are distinct, and the big palms are warm and dry. No matter where she goes, with such a pair of hands holding her, she will not feel lonely or afraid at all, but will have a full sense of security.
After bandaging the wound, Zhou Shuwan looked at the other person with a somewhat gloomy look.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt. We are men, so we are not afraid of this little pain, right, Mu Mu?" Qi Mingyu said to Mu Mu with a smile.
Mu Mu nodded immediately and puffed out her chest: "Yes, sister, my brother-in-law and I are not afraid of pain."
Zhou Shuwan couldn't help but smile.
It's over 20 degrees Celsius, and sitting in this drafty room, I feel a bit cold and unsafe.
When they chose the house just now, they deliberately chose a place where there was no one.
Zhou Shuwan thought about it and said, "Why don't we open a small tent?"
The small tent doesn’t take up much space and can be easily placed in a backpack, which is also easy to explain.
She said this to explain it to Mu Mu.
Qi Mingyu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, it's almost night. If the acid rain doesn't stop, we'll probably have to stay here overnight. It's better to open the tent so we can have a good rest."
Mu Mu was a little excited and surprised: "Sister, brother-in-law, you also brought a tent?"
"Yes, how can we go out without making full preparations." She reached for Qi Mingyu's bulging backpack, reached in, and quickly took out a very small folded tent, and the backpack was half empty.
That was Zhou Shuwan putting the other things in the backpack into the space.
Now, only Grandma Pang and Mu Mu don’t know Zhou Shuwan’s space at home.
Zhou Shuwan, her parents, and Qi Mingyu had discussed this issue before. They all agreed that the fewer people knew about the space, the better. Although Grandma Pang and Mu Mu were trustworthy, Mu Mu was still young and her personality had not yet been established. If she let the secret slip, it would be a disaster. Grandma Pang was, after all, a layer away from Zhou Shuwan. If anything happened, Grandma Pang would definitely protect Qi Mingyu's interests first, just like Zhou Jianghai and his wife would definitely protect Zhou Shuwan's interests.
Therefore, Zhou Shuwan has always avoided revealing the flaws in the space in front of the two of them.
The tent she took out was the most common outdoor tent. It could be set up by simply opening it and then slightly fixing the four corners.
She took out something folded into a small square, similar to a picnic blanket, from her backpack. When she opened it, Mu Mu realized that it was an inflatable mat.
Zhou Shuwan took out a small air pump from his backpack like a magic trick.
Mu Mu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Qi Mingyu inflated the air cushion and placed it in the tent. The three of them crawled in and immediately felt less cold.
The sound of rain and screams outside seemed to be farther away.
The three of them felt a little safer and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Zhou Shuwan took out a few warm meat buns from his backpack and said, "Eat it."
Mu Mu was young and didn't think that much. When he saw the delicious meat buns, he happily took them and started eating.
After a while, Zhou Shuwan placed a few cans of eight-treasure porridge, a few boiled eggs, and a few sausages on the inflatable cushion.
That’s how dinner was settled.
This was the first time that Mu Mu had spent the night outside since the end of the world. In order to calm his nervousness, Zhou Shuwan specially brought him a small piece of butter cake with fresh strawberries, yellow peaches, kiwis and other fruits on it.
This kind of sweet food is rare after the apocalypse. Even at home, Mu Mu rarely gets to eat it, so he immediately ate it with relish.
Zhou Shuwan touched his head with satisfaction, then looked at Qi Mingyu inquiringly.
The latter shook his head, stretched out his big palm, and motioned Zhou Shuwan to sit over.
Zhou Shuwan moved towards him.
Qi Mingyu half hugged her: "Wanwan, if we really stay here tonight, we need to keep watch."
"Ah."
There are people outside, especially there are many people taking emergency shelter upstairs and downstairs, so of course they can't sleep soundly.
"I..." Qi Mingyu just started to speak, and suddenly stopped.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside, followed by several noisy voices.
"Uncle, I told you they have a tent, and look, they really do!" This was the voice of a duck whose voice was changing.
There were at least five or six people coming in.
Zhou Shuwan had already grabbed his weapon and quickly rushed out of the tent.
Qi Mingyu followed closely behind.
The people standing in front of me looked like a whole family, including men and women, old and young.
The man called cousin was tall and strong-boned. He was a little thin due to the torture of the end of the world, but he looked like a person who was not to be trifled with.
Standing next to him were two men of similar age, one tall and one short.
There was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen standing next to him, who should be the one with the duck voice.
"Gentlemen, we have an elderly person at home who can't stand the wind and is injured. We need to borrow your tent. How about that?"
The cousin spoke directly.
Behind him stood several women, among whom was indeed an old lady about the same age as Grandma Pang.
