Natural Disaster Apocalypse

There was no pressure on Mu Nan to let Qin Huai take a bath. When they were young, the two of them washed in the same bathtub. Later, when Qin Huai grew up and reached puberty, he didn't want to take a bath with him. But he was still young at that time. He didn't have the slightest idea about puberty. When Qin Huai didn't want to take a bath with him, he was sad for a while, thinking that Qin Huai didn't like him anymore and didn't want to be his brother.

But the sadness was only short-lived, because although Qin Huai stopped washing with him, he would still help him wash his back and hair as before, but he didn't go into the water himself. Later, when he grew up, he realized that he was embarrassed, so he naturally did his own thing. Even now that he has grown up, when Qin Huai said to help him wash his back, he didn't think it was a big deal. The dirty back was not enough. Well, it would be nice to have someone to help.

But after entering the bathroom, when Mu Nan took off his shirt and began to take off his pants, the shameful feeling of a long reflex arc finally came back, and he was embarrassed to pull down the bottom of his pants, and then looked at Qin Huai dawdly: "You just like this Help me brush it, and I will wash it myself after it is cleaned."

Qin Huai seemed to chuckle softly: "It's grown up, and I'm out of touch? When I was a child, who didn't give me a bath and still looked unhappy, and I took off my clothes before I walked into the bathroom."

Mu Nan's eyes fluttered in all directions: "Then you will also say that I have grown up, how old I am, how can I be like that." He still wants to show some face.

Qin Huai scooped up a spoonful of water from the bucket at the side, and slowly poured it on Mu Nan's body. Watching the water wash against his white back, his voice was slightly low and deep: "There are so many people in the school dormitory. , Didn't you take a shower with other boys? During military training, you should all take a shower in the same bathroom, right?"

Mu Nan saw that Qin Huai had started to help him brush his back, so he breathed two handfuls of water on himself, and when it was all wet, he picked up the soap and began to scrub himself: "No, the conditions of my military training in college are pretty good, In the army I went to, there was a dormitory for four people, with its own bathroom, so you don’t have to wash with others. I didn’t live in the dormitory much in college. I might go to sleep in the dormitory when I don’t have classes at noon. Anyway, it’s not far from home. , there is no need to change buses, so it is convenient to go home.”

As soon as Mu Nan finished speaking, Qin Huai suddenly stretched out his hand and seemed to rub against his shoulder blades. When he touched Qin Huai's fingertips that had become icy from the cold water, Mu Nan trembled instinctively. Of course, he was not shivered. His fingertips were too hot to be cold, but he felt that Qin Huai's fingertips seemed to be electrified, and there seemed to be a weak current rushing through the seat he touched.

Mu Nan subconsciously turned her head to look at Mu Nan: "What, what are you doing?"

Qin Huai blocked his turning around and didn't let him look at him. He lowered his head slightly and said in a normal and calm tone, "It's a little dirty, I'll wipe it off for you."

Mu Nan made a sound, then rinsed the soap stained with plaster with water, and handed it to Qin Huai: "Here, just brush with some soap and it should be clean."

Qin Huai took it with his hand, daubed it gently on his back, and then gently brushed his back with the bath brush, probably too lightly, Mu Nan felt that the brush didn't hit the spot, and said: "Put harder, How can it be cleaned so lightly?"

Qin Huai poked his back: "It's all bones, it hurts when you touch it, I'm afraid you'll fall apart if you use force, you never leave your meals without meat, where does all the meat go?"

Mu Nan was also a little proud: "How many people are envious of not getting fat after eating."

Qin Huai frowned slightly: "It's a good thing that you don't get fat from eating, it's because your body can't absorb it."

If it weren't for the current situation, Qin Huai would definitely find a Chinese medicine doctor to take care of Mu Nan. He would not eat less every day, but he would not gain weight, either because of poor spleen or stomach or absorption problems. Mu Nan was like this when she was a child. She was picky eater and didn't like to eat.

At that time, he was still young, about the time when preschool was entering elementary school. One morning, before Mu Nan woke up, Uncle Mu carried him out of the bed and carried him all the way to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic near their kindergarten. Uncle Mu hugged Mu Nan and took him, the Chinese doctor squeezed his palm, checked him again, told him there was nothing wrong and asked him to stand and wait, then checked Mu Nan, He took a very long needle and picked it **** Mu Nan's small hand, poking blood beads one after another, and squeezed something hard. That Chinese medicine doctor is an old doctor and very experienced. Although he pierced Mu Nan's hand, Mu Nan didn't cry, and woke up on Uncle Mu as if nothing had happened.

He still remembered that that day, Mu Nan's appetite was unexpectedly good. Before they had breakfast together, he and Mu Nan always ate a bowl of noodles, because Mu Nan refused to eat any more after eating two or three mouthfuls. The rest was just right for him to eat, but that day Mu Nan ate the bowl of noodles by himself, which stunned him. Later, Uncle Mu said that they were picking up malnutrition just now, specifically treating poor appetite and indigestion, but they didn't expect the effect to be quite fast.

Probably because of some things when he was a child, he actually believed in Chinese medicine more than Western medicine, especially Mu Nan, who might not be able to find anything wrong with an examination, but he just doesn’t gain weight. Chinese medicine is definitely better than Western medicine, but it’s a pity I don't know if there will be a chance to find a Chinese medicine doctor for Mu Nan to see in the future.

Feeling that Qin Huai had been cleaning her for a long time, Mu Nan couldn't help but said, "Have you cleaned it yet? Is it so dirty?"

Qin Huai came back to his senses, scooped water from the bucket and washed him twice, his back, which was not dirty at all, was full of soapy fragrance: "Okay, it's clean."

Mu Nan heaved a sigh of relief, and threw it away when he was done using it, and quickly said, "Then you go out."

Qin Huai raised his eyebrows: "Don't want me to wash your hair for you?"

Mu Nan said: "Such short hair can be washed in a few strokes, you go out quickly, I'll wash it quickly and then I'll wash it for you."

Qin Huai was just teasing him, and if he didn't go out, he felt that he was about to explode. As long as Mu Nan turned around, he would be able to see his ugliness at a glance.

Without Qin Huai in the bathroom, Mu Nan took a shower much faster. He took off his pants and scrubbed the dirty ash on his hands and legs. He didn't buy facial cleanser or anything, so he just rubbed it with soap. I washed my face, washed my ears, and felt that the gravel was gone from my body, and then I felt a little clean.

After washing, I wiped off the water on my body with a disposable face towel, and looked at myself in the half-length mirror. Although the bones were a bit obvious, at least after this period of exercise, I still had abdominal muscles. I squeezed my waist I couldn't help muttering: "Where is the hand, there is so much meat."

After taking a refreshing bath, the whole person seemed to have opened the pores all over his body to breathe comfortably. When he came back from the outside, his depressed mood was relieved a lot. Seeing Qin Huai sitting cross-legged on the ground and blowing the air, Mu Nan said : "Brother, I've finished washing, you go and wash quickly."

Qin Huai said: "You can put away the swimming pool outside and leave a bucket of water in the bathroom. In addition, you can put a few more buckets of water in the locker against the wall, and enlarge the bucket of water for daily use."

Mu Nan asked, "How many barrels are you putting more?"

Qin Huai said: "Put five or six buckets away."

Mu Nan obediently went to put the big bucket of water away first, and seeing that Qin Huai didn't want the water from the swimming pool, she carried the bucket of water into the bathroom, and couldn't help but say: "The bucket of water is not enough to wash, you are dirtier than me, what a mess I'm sweating, I need to brush it properly." During the earthquake, Qin Huai threw himself on his body, he was so dirty, Qin Huai helped him block so much dust, it would only be dirtier than him.

Qin Huai: "No, I'll just wash my face. I'll have to knock on the wall and go out later. There's no need to wash it too clean. You can give me a vest. A black vest will do. Bring me a towel."

Mu Nan really wants to say that they are not short of water, knowing that there will be such a shortage of water now, what he saved most before is water, so there is no need to save it like this: "Why don't you wash it, and you will feel comfortable after washing it- some."

Qin Huai pushed him to blow on the fan: "It's not necessary, I'll wash it and sleep more comfortably when I come back tomorrow morning."

Mu Nan had no choice but to take a set of clean clothes and towels from the space and hand them to him. When Qin Huai was washing, Mu Nan put things in the room, and he put away all the things when he left. When I got up, the whole house was empty, without any breath of life, so I had to put everything away before Jian Chu and the others came over. Fortunately, there were many cabinets in their living room. Even though there was nothing outside, the cabinets were so It is impossible for others to rummage through the cabinet so impolitely, so just put on a show outside.

Just as he took out the things he could think of from the space and put them outside for preparation, he heard the sound of knocking on the iron door, and Mu Nan hurried to open the door.

-Opening the door, a scent of soap came rushing to her face. Jane had smelled the sour smell at first, so she subconsciously sniffed it a few more times before realizing: "Have you taken a bath? You still have water to take a bath at home?!"

Mu Nan said: "There is still some savings. I bought a lot of water before. Come in first."

Mu Nan opened the door to let them in, but neither of them was ashamed to enter. The main reason was that Mu Nan's house was too clean, and his body was covered in dust. After taking a bath, I feel that even if I touch it, I should pay attention to avoiding it, otherwise it will dirty the bath that I finally cleaned.

There is only one rechargeable lighting at home, but when Qin Huai installs solar panels later, he needs more lighting, so Mu Nan took out the lights that he had prepared in advance from the cabinet, it is the kind that has several lights on one wire Yes, it led straight to the room where the solar panels were placed, and when it was turned on, the whole room was brightened instantly.

Mu Nan couldn't help sighing, "Fortunately, the windows are partitioned and covered tightly, otherwise it would be too conspicuous when the lights are on upstairs."

Jian Chu stood in the living room and glanced curiously. He had never seen a solar generator before. When he saw that there were piles of things on the ground in the room, he couldn't help asking: "How do you generate electricity?"

Mu Nan said: "This is to receive solar energy. It will be installed later. The generator is in another room. It seems to need wiring. I don't know if it is for storing batteries or converting it. Anyway, as long as the sun's energy is enough, it will It can store electricity."

As soon as Mu Nan finished speaking, Qin Huai came out, his body was washed clean, and there was still moisture, but he obviously didn't use soap and body lotion, he probably rubbed it hard with clean water. Seeing them coming, he said, "Have you cleaned up over there?"

Yu Zibo said: "There are only a few things at home, and it will be soon."

Qin Huai said: "If the speed is fast, the tossing can be finished in the first half of the night. When the time comes, will you go down together, or stay alone?"

Yu Zibai looked at Jian Chu and said, "I'll go down with Qin Huai tonight, and you stay at home."

Qin Huai said: "Tomorrow we'll see if the generator can start up during the day, so tonight I'll use the battery to power an air conditioner first."

Jian Chu's eyes widened in an instant, apparently disagreeing, but Yu Zibai had already thought up what to say, so he said to Qin Huai and the others, "Wait." Then he dragged Jian Chu to the door.

Jian Chu frowned and looked at Yu Zibai: "What are you going to do? What do you mean by letting me stay at home? Are you still preventing someone from stealing such a small thing? Or do you think I can't handle the situation outside?"

Yu Zibai said: "The earthquake just happened yesterday, many people didn't realize it, but today they did. Rather than rummaging through the ruins, wouldn't it be more convenient to come directly to our building and search for things from house to house?"

Jian Chu: "Then we don't have anything worth stealing at home." The most valuable things are a few quilts and clothes, and there are not even a few bottles of water, so even thieves will look down on them.

Yu Zibo said: "Qin Huai will definitely not let Mu Nan go down. The main purpose these days is to search and rescue. There must be a lot of people who are seriously injured and dead. Mu Nan is not like you who have been struggling in society for so many years. He— It seems that he just came out of college. You see, he seems to be quite able to adapt now. I feel that he has not really realized what is going on outside. You said that if he is alone at home, someone will be searched on the floor. Really breaking open the door to get in, can he handle it by himself?"

Jian Chu said: "So you want to keep me at home?"

Yu Zibai looked at him with a little helplessness: "Xu Ming has joined the medical team now, that is to say, there are four of us now, we can either act together or help each other in pairs. Do you think it is better for you to stay at home, or I will stay with you?" Is it better at home? And you just got an injection today, so you should take a breather and build up your strength. I’m afraid there will be more difficult days ahead, so don’t worry about it. And I remember that you have worked part-time as an interior decorator , The work of building walls must be more familiar than us, after the solar panels are installed and the wall is knocked down, the follow-up work will have to be done slowly at home by you and Mu Nan, and we will split up to save time."

Hearing what Yu Zibai said, Jian Chu reluctantly accepted it, and—I think so, as for Mu Nan—personally, it would be really unlucky to be searched by someone to pry the iron door, and a solar generator alone would cause heavy losses. I was injured in the middle of the day, thinking about it more seriously, the knife and the iron rod were greeted to the body, Mu Nan's small body was afraid that it would be cold in an instant. Thinking about it this way, I still feel that it is better for multiple people to stay at home and take care of each other. He and Mu Nan take care of each other at home, and Yu Zibai and Qin Huai can act with confidence outside.

The two reached a consensus temporarily. After returning to the house, Yu Zibai asked Jian Chu and Mu Nan to sit together and blow fans in the living room, while he and Qin Huai went into the room to install solar panels, which he had never touched before. , but after all, he is a science student, and he quickly has a direction with the blueprint.

Mu Nan knew that Qin Huai was planning to let Jian Chu stay with him today, maybe it wasn't because he wanted to keep his money, so he only took out a battery, maybe he was planning to have someone by his side Well, safety may not be the first consideration now, after all, the earthquake just happened, and it hasn't completely disrupted the order yet. I'm more afraid that he hopes that someone will accompany him to distract some attention, so that he may not be too cranky when he is alone. Anyway, Mu Nan probably figured out what Qin Huai was thinking. In order to make Qin Huai feel more at ease, he didn't mind following Qin Huai's arrangement.

Seeing that Qin Huai and Yu Zibai were both engaged, Mu Nan looked at Jian Chu: "How do I knock on this wall? I even made a cabinet."

Jane has done these things before, and she is quite proficient, so she asked: "Do you have any tools, such as hammer heads, electric drills, it would be better."

Mu Nan dragged the entire toolbox over, and Jian Chu-looked at it with a smile: "The tools are quite complete. We only need to tear down this wall and knock the cabinet first. The cabinet is made of wood, so it is easy to knock, and the back is built." The wall panels are probably also thin bricks, which is very easy."

Jian Chu directly found the tools and started to work. As for Mu Nan, let him help him get something to connect—a wooden plank. Facts have proved that, just as Jian Chu expected, the sealing wall of their balcony is just a thin slab of bricks, and they can’t use an electric drill, and they can be knocked out with a little effort, because there are only bricks and no steel bars, so it’s even worse. It's easy, the solar panels in the room haven't been installed yet, they have already opened up the balcony.

After getting through the connection, I stepped out and went from Mu Nan's house to their balcony. It was pitch black outside, with only sporadic lights, and busy figures below, but it was too dark to see clearly, but The tall buildings that I could see from the balcony in the past are all gone now. Looking at it from above, it is far more intuitive than below, and Jian Chu couldn't help trembling slightly when he saw it.

Seeing him staring outside in a daze, Mu Nan drew his attention back: "Jian Chu, is this size okay? Do you want to measure the size of the door?"

Jane returned to her senses at the beginning, let out a breath slowly, hummed, turned and entered the room. The balcony door Qin Huai mentioned was also a security door, but it was custom-made according to the width of the corner of the balcony, so it was a bit big. Jian Chu and Mu Nan measured the size together, and then started to make cement. Although Mu Nan had been a supervisor once before, he still couldn't get him to do it. Seeing Jian Chu's proficiency, he couldn't help but ask, "You know how to do this?"

Jian Chu—while smoothing the edges of the knocked-off bricks—said: "Yes, I used to work as a part-time job, and worked with those masons outside to do decorations for others, such as laying tiles, making suspended ceilings, and installing doors. , although not as steady as those old masters, but if you don’t pay attention, it’s okay to be so-so.”

Mu Nan said: "Smooth it first today, can you install the door tomorrow?"

Jian Chu said: "You don't need to wait for tomorrow. With the temperature now, the door can be installed before dawn, and it will be firm after drying in the daytime. Then use that glue to seal the gap and you're done."

The speed of installing the door was faster than they thought, but the door was too heavy, it was difficult for Guang Jianchu and Mu Nan to drag it in, it was Qin Huai and Yu Zibai who came to help install it, in order to prevent the high temperature from drying out the door Bad, several people covered the outside with two layers of membrane cloth removed from the room to make sure that the door lock can enter and exit smoothly, and this is the end of the job: "I left a hole here, and the wires can be routed from here If you go out, you don’t even need to open the door, if something happens, this is equivalent to a back door for you to escape.”

Mu Nan applauded quickly: "Awesome!" His neighbor is simply a god.

Seeing that Jian Chu's body was still covered with dust, Mu Nan said: "Do you still have clean clothes? If not, I still have a vest here. I can keep the clothes I picked up randomly before going out and wear them when I go out. It's better to wear them cooler at home. We still have a little bit in our house, you should take a shower first, there is only one air-conditioning fan, the bed is too hot at this temperature, I will spread a mat on the floor later, let's sleep on the mat."

Jian Chu hurriedly said: "No need, we still have some water, I'll wipe it off later."

Mu Nan carried a large bucket of water and walked to the bathroom: "Just wash it casually, rub it with a towel, there is a basin here, you use the basin to hold the water, and the dirty water can flush the toilet."

Jian Chu feels that bathing with water is too extravagant now, but everyone else washes it, and I feel that I will be disgusted if I am too careless, so I can only use the least amount of water to wash my body. However, after washing, the whole person is really relaxed, and the body feels much looser. When he came out, Mu Nan had already spread the mat on the floor, and he was lying on the floor looking at his mobile phone. All the things that had been dismantled in the house had been cleaned up and piled up in the corridor outside, because a layer had been laid on the floor before. Snakeskin bag, bag-roll, the ground is fairly clean.

Qin Huai and Yu Zibai are wiring in the room. They are not professionals, and they are still not very good at getting started. Fortunately, Qin Huai has watched a lot of videos in advance, and later asked professional personnel when buying solar panels. It's not too bad.

Jian Chu stood at the door and looked at the two of them: "Do you want to help?"

Yu Zibai said: "No, we are almost finished here, you go out and blow on the air-conditioning fan." They also put a fan at the door, but it was just an ordinary electric fan. Toss a sweat.

Seeing that they didn't need help, and Jian Chu didn't understand these things, so as not to be a hindrance to help, he didn't have much to do, so he went back to the living room, sat on the mat, and the cool wind from the air-conditioning fan blew on his body to relieve a lot of the dryness and heat. Under such a hot temperature, it can make people go to heaven in a second: "Can this ice crystal still be used? It can even blow out cold wind."

Mu Nan said: "It's okay, although it's melted a little bit, but before our house iced a lot of ice in the freezing layer. When I saw it just now, the ice crystal was still a block of ice. After tonight, it will be fine tomorrow."

Jian Chu casually asked with emotion: "Why do you prepare solar generators? It's so life-saving."

Mu Nan and Qin Huai have already discussed the words: "Didn't the power go out during the epidemic? Later, the temperature became higher and higher. My brother was afraid that the electricity would not be able to bear it, so he bought a set and kept it at home. In fact, this thing can be installed after moving to a new house, I didn’t expect it to be used in such a situation.”

Looking at the boxes of food neatly stacked on the ground, Jian Chu said: "Tell me, can our country recover this time? I don't know when the rescue will arrive."

Mu Nan: "It's possible. As long as human beings don't all become extinct overnight, they can always recover."

Jian Chu smiled: "I used to feel that my life was very hard. Seeing that others only need to focus on their studies and don't have to worry about anything, unlike me, I have to earn money by myself for food and drink. Now But I feel really happy at that time, every day at least I have a goal to go to, and now, I don’t know what tomorrow will look like.”

Mu Nan said: "What else can it be like, just live like this day by day, as long as the people around you are still there, and shouldn't you be grateful for the hardships you have suffered in the past, without the skills you were forced to learn by life before, How can the door be installed so smoothly today, relying on those of us who don’t know how to figure it out, maybe it will take tomorrow to get the door right.”

Jian Chu glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's true, if you lose, you will gain."

Mu Nan asked curiously: "Are you really a couple with Yu Zibai?" If they were just friends and roommates, they would be too close. I feel that even if they are not a couple now, it's just that they didn't pierce the last layer of paper windows, anyway. Very playful.

Jian Chu subconsciously glanced at the people in the room, but their voices were quite low, and the two people in the room were focused on the installation of the solar panels, apparently did not hear, so Jian Chu asked back: "Why do you Think we're a couple?"

Mu Nan said: "Let's have an aura, look at each other's eyes, there is light."

Jian Chu laughed and said: "Such Qiong Yao's words? Then I said, you and your brother look at each other with light in their eyes."
