Chapter 73:

Regarding the fact that Mu Nan and Qin Huai were not brothers, Jian Chu was quite shocked, to the extent that it overturned his perception that they were not brothers. How could this be possible? One must know the relationship between people In fact, there is an indescribable atmosphere in getting along with each other. The aura between lovers, relatives, and friends is completely different. Even if the relationship is excellent, we get along every day. The big Tieci has a small hair, no matter how close they get along, it is impossible to feel like relatives. After all, the closeness between friends is just like closeness, it is not real, but Qin Huai and Mu Nan are completely family I feel that there is no violation at all.

So even if they didn't have the same surname, he never doubted that they weren't blood brothers. The two looked like a family.

Mu Nan looked at Jian Chu amusedly: "Are you so shocked?"

Jian Chu nodded: "Shocked, you are not biological, I always thought that one of you has the surname of your father and the other has the surname of your mother."

Mu Nan laughed and said, "It's not my own. Don't you know that my brother's house is right across from me?"

Jian Chu: "I thought it was bought by your parents specially for you. The two brothers live in a house close to each other, so they can take care of each other in the future."

Mu Nan shook his head: "My brother is actually my neighbor. My grandma and my brother's grandmother were good friends back then, but my grandma left early, so I haven't seen her before. They have a good relationship, so my house is still under construction. At that time, I chose a house that was close. It is said that I almost chose the house you lived in at the beginning. Because the balcony is close, I thought about opening the balcony directly. Later, I thought it would be better to have a door to door here. , build an anti-theft door outside, you don’t have to close your own door when you sleep at night in summer, you know our floor is very windy and convective, that’s how it used to be in summer when there was no air conditioner at home.”

Jian Chu wowed: "Then you guys are real childhood sweethearts. I haven't met friends with this kind of childhood sweetheart relationship, and your relationship is so good that it's completely impossible to tell that it's not your own."

Mu Nan smiled and said: "Because we have been together since we were young, we ate meals in the same pot and slept in the same bed. When I was young, I even grew up wearing my brother's old clothes. The old man said that worn-out clothes are comfortable to wear, so I wear the clothes my brother wears when he is young, whether it is grandma or my parents, they buy two copies of anything, and whoever has my brother must have mine, except that they are not related by blood, and they are no different from their own."

After Mu Nan finished speaking, he saw Qin Huai coming over with a mat, and said with a smile, "That's right, brother."

Qin Huai hummed: "Get up, lay down the mat and go to sleep."

Mu Nan got up: "Sleeping again, do we have nothing else to do except sleep?"

Qin Huai: "Otherwise it's so hot, what else do you want to do?"

Mu Nan saw that Qin Huai had sprayed the mat with insect repellent water, dried it a bit, and was about to lie down on it again, when Qin Huai stopped him: "I just sat on the mat and put it on the mat, is it dirty?"

Mu Nan let Qin Huai wipe himself with a wet towel: "You can be less particular about fleeing."

Qin Huai: "It's only about escaping. What time is it now? Many diseases are caused by poor sanitation."

Seeing Qin Huai squatting down to wipe the dust off Mu Nan's legs, Jian Chu turned to look at Yu Zibai: "It's no wonder I didn't see that they were not my own." This is how a family gets along.

Yu Zibai smiled and said nothing.

When Qin Huai was wiping the mud on Mu Nan's legs, Niu Niu, who had been sitting next to its owner, suddenly stood up. Not far from them, Gouzi subconsciously took a step back because of Gouzi's sudden standing up, but behind him was Qin Huai, and this retreat directly hit Qin Huai who was bending over, Mu Nan couldn't stand still, Afraid of stepping on Qin Huai again, he instinctively tried to fall to the side.

Qin Huai was afraid that he would fall to the ground, the ground was covered with small broken stones, he would definitely see blood if he fell, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him towards himself.

As a result, the two of them fell on the mat together. Most of Mu Nan's body fell on Qin Huai's body, but his elbow hit the ground all of a sudden, and the pain felt like a bone was about to crack.

As soon as Qin Huai heard Mu Nan's muffled groan, he quickly helped him up: "Where did he fall?" Seeing that he was covering his elbow, he quickly stretched out his hand to check.

Mu Nan covered her elbow: "It hurts, it hurts, don't pinch it, it's broken, it's broken!"

Xu Ming, who was at the side, came over and asked Jian Chu to hold up the lamp: "Let me see."

Xu Ming pulled Mu Nan's arm and moved it, then pinched his bones. Although Mu Nan was crying for pain, the touch of his hands didn't hurt the bones, so he said: "It's okay, it should be a tendon. Give him a rub, and he'll be fine in a while."

Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the bone was fine, and his cold face eased a little: "I rubbed it for you, did you hit your elbow? Did you fall anywhere else?"

After the terrible pain at the beginning, Mu Nan calmed down: "No, TV dramas are indeed deceiving."

Qin Huai rubbed his hands for him, saw that he was still grinning, and smiled: "What's the matter with the TV series?"

Mu Nan: "Those who bumped into each other and fell to the ground softly, and there is also an elongated slow motion of all kinds of beauty, it is really too fake, it really is a flop."

Qin Huai smiled and said, "When a person who weighs a hundred pounds bumps into each other, how can they fall so lightly? A drop of twenty pounds of rice can crush a person." At this moment, Niuniu's master came over, who was at that age The older one, I learned from the conversation between Jian Chu and the others just now, that the older brother is named Wu Zheng, who is 30 years old this year, and the younger one is Song Jia, who is 24 years old this year. Someone caused trouble, so I came here to apologize.

Mu Nan said: "It's okay, I fell it myself, and it has nothing to do with it." The dog just stood up for a while, but didn't rush up or something, it was he who fell down on his own, that's no wonder Dogs.

Wu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was actually not easy to raise a dog in the past, especially in the city. It is really not appropriate to raise a big dog in the city. It is normal for others to be afraid when they see it. Try to be restrained outside, sometimes even if it is not their fault, they have to take the initiative to bear it, and the sarcasm and white eyes they suffer are almost commonplace. It was not easy at that time, and then there was smog and intense heat, water and electricity were cut off and people didn't even have food, and they still had to raise a dog, and they were more and more squeezed out by others, if it wasn't for him and his brother to take good care of him , plus their dogs are also very smart, I'm afraid they have already become someone else's dinner.

Over the past year or so, they wanted to let go of Niuniu more than once and let them make a living by themselves. As long as life or death is not in front of them, they will not be so sad. But for Niuniu, their home is by their side, people can't leave home, and the dog can't leave it, even if it dies, she would rather die by their side, so no matter how difficult it is, she has tried her best to keep her up till now.

After all, most of the people in this team are okay, there are not so many vicious words, and they don't want to hurt people because of Niuniu on the first day. Fortunately, the other party is easy to talk to, but people understand, and they can't say nothing. After all, the fall was indeed because their dog stood up suddenly and scared people, so Wu Zheng took a bag of biscuits: "I'm really sorry, we will take care of Niuniu, this biscuit should not be broken, soda biscuit It’s not the cream-filled one, it’s more resistant to high temperatures.”

Mu Nan quickly waved his hand: "No, it's nothing to do with your dog."

Wu Zheng put the biscuits on their mat and went back, then patted the dog's head. The dog seemed to know that he had done something wrong, lowered his head and drooped his eyes, and whispered aggrievedly.

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai, food is so precious now, he can't even buy a pack of biscuits, and he didn't fall too badly, he tripped and fell himself, so I feel very sorry for just accepting food from others.

Qin Huai rubbed his elbows for him and said: "Accept it, you will be even more disturbed if you don't accept it." It is indeed not easy to bring a dog at this time, and you have to be careful everywhere.

Mu Nan touched the place where he fell and said, "Okay, the pain is gone."

Qin Huai: "Go to the car and get a bottle of medicated oil. If you don't rub this bump, you will definitely be bruised tomorrow."

Of course, they wouldn't keep the medicinal oil in the car, and they didn't expect it to be as complete as they packed things before, so they had to let Mu Nan get it.

Although Mu Nan didn't think it was necessary, the small bottle of medicinal oil was not even as big as a palm, so it didn't seem to be a problem to take it out, so he pretended to rummage through it in the car, then took a bottle from the space and handed it to Qin Huai .

Jian Chu looked at him amusedly: "Have you never had a dog?" Although we can't say that all dog owners, most dog owners would not react so strongly to some movements of dogs, unless they are naturally afraid of dogs Yes, but before Mu Nan was curious about Niu Niu and even wanted to touch her, she doesn't seem to be afraid of dogs.

Mu Nan shook her head: "No, but I really like dogs. Unfortunately, when I was a child, my mother wouldn't let me raise them. It's not easy to raise myself when I grow up. I don't have the energy to raise dogs."

Over there, Song Jia was still teaching Niu Niu a lesson, saying it was a lesson, but she just kept chanting to give it a lesson. As for whether she could understand it, only Gou Zi knew. Jian Chu sat on the edge of the mat, and then looked at the opposite side Niuniu, who was being taught, said, "What did it want to do just now? Is it going to be pulled?"

Song Jia shook her head: "There seems to be some movement over there or something."

Jian Chu immediately became alert: "Any movement? Could it be a group of rats?" Dogs' sense of hearing is much more developed than that of humans. Dogs can hear many sounds that humans cannot hear, so if there is something, dogs can indeed compare it. People have to find out first.

Song Jia said, "I don't know."

Wu Zheng said: "It should be that there is something to eat over there. When I took Niu Niu to dig through the ruins, it seems to have developed a habit of looking for things."

As soon as Jian Chu heard about the food, Jian Chu suddenly became energetic: "The dog's sense of smell is also very sensitive, let it lead the way, let's go and have a look. If there is really food, it would be a waste to bury it under the ruins and destroy it."

Yu Zibai patted Jian Chu's head: "What are you messing with, lie down and rest for a while."

Jian Chu: "I slept for a long time just now, and I still have a whole day to sleep later, so why worry about it now."

Song Jia was also a little ready to move, looked at his brother, Wu Zheng said: "Then you go, don't turn over some unrealistic places, although this hotel only has a few floors, if you are not careful, it might collapse once."

Yu Zibai was worried, anyway, there were Qin Huai and the others guarding things here, so he simply took the flashlight and went with them.

Seeing them sneaking away, Mu Nan said, "If I hadn't wiped my body already, I would also want to look through it." The feeling of picking up treasures anywhere has nothing to do with how many things are hoarded in the space , It's pure joy for nothing.

Qin Huai kept rubbing his elbows to warm them up, and the whole medicinal oil was absorbed before he stopped: "Okay, sleep for a while."

Mu Nan shook her head: "I can't sleep."

Qin Huai handed him the phone: "Then play a game."

Mu Nan originally planned to lie down and play, but was forced to sit up by Qin Huai: "You don't want your eyes anymore? There will be no optical shop to make glasses for you in the future."

Mu Nan had no choice but to sit up and lean on Qin Huai's body: "My eyesight is good, and it doesn't drop a little when I look at the computer every day, which proves that my eyesight is good."

After playing a few times, he finally cleared a level that he had tried several times but failed to pass. Then Mu Nan put down his phone and pulled Qin Huai: "Brother, I want to go to the bathroom."

It would be too embarrassing to be bumped into by other people if no one is guarding them not far away, so every time they go to the bathroom, they always go together in pairs. As for Xu Ming, they don't mind accompanying Xu Ming. They went together, but it was a pity that Xu Ming didn't mind and insisted on being alone.

Qin Huai took a moxibustion stick from the car. At the beginning, he specially bought the thick smoke type. The smoke was very heavy and the smell was very pungent. When he bought this before, he planned to smoke the mosquitoes at home. Unfortunately, the doors and windows were closed later. It is impossible to use something with a lot of smoke when it is closed. At the moment, in the wild, this kind of moxibustion stick is much more effective than mosquito coils. Smoke it in the toilet before going to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.

Qin Huai found a hidden place for him, smoked it with moxibustion sticks, found a place to fix it, and then let Mu Nan pass. Mu Nan squatted there, looking at Qin Huai who was not far away, she felt relieved, only through hard times would she know that life is good, but after a while of happiness, Mu Nan couldn't laugh anymore.

After squatting for a long time, Mu Nan walked over with numb feet and took the unburned moxibustion sticks. If he had dog ears, he would be wincing right now: "Brother."

Qin Huai extinguished the moxibustion bar, and then said: "What's wrong?"

Mu Nan: "I seem to have a bit of diarrhea."

Qin Huai understood instantly: "Did you eat a lot of ice cubes?"

Mu Nan nodded, and Qin Huai poked his forehead: "Does your stomach hurt?"

Mu Nan shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

Qin Huai said: "If it doesn't hurt, it's fine. I'll run two more times, and if I have diarrhea more often, I'll take antidiarrheal medicine."

Mu Nan sighed, life is not easy.

Before Jian Chu and the others came back, Mu Nan ran to pull it a second time, and then was pressed by Qin Huai on the mat and lay down for a while, afraid that he was not eating ice, so he specially turned on the light to check his body carefully. He was not bitten by mosquitoes. Fortunately, he was very careful to protect himself, so he was not bitten, so he couldn't help scolding him again.

Mu Nan couldn't help but said, "It's very hot."

Qin Huai: "Is it comfortable to have diarrhea?"

Mu Nan turned over and turned his back to Qin Huai, his whole body collapsed into a cake on the mat.

After a while, there was a rustling sound from the ruins Mu Nan and the others were leaning against, and then a dog's head came out, and Song Jia and Jian Chu also came back from behind.

They chose the place to sleep because the hotel lobby was in such a mess that they couldn’t tell where it used to be, but behind it was a fallen building that looked like a marble counter, so it was speculated that this might be the front desk where they used to check in, and behind the marble counter was also It's not a wall, but some collapsed and piled up ruins. When they came here before, they saw that the back of the counter was covered by a pile of construction slag, and thought there was a pile of solid things behind it. After a bit of digging, I found a pothole. The hole should be formed naturally. The buildings overlapped and piled up to just get a hole that can allow ordinary people to pass through, but they don't know what's going on inside, but check it out. After a while, the top pile was very solid, so I tried to drill into it.

As a result, there is really a hole in the inside of this drill, and the space inside is not too small, it is just dark, with collapsed things everywhere, and it is impossible to see what is behind it. Fortunately, there is Niuniu leading the way. When they smelled the food, they drilled wherever they could, and they really found something.

There are a lot of things in it, and they can't finish it all at once, and it's too dark, they only took a flashlight, so they just brought out a box of canned things first, and planned to bring Mu Nan's rechargeable light inside , Of course you can’t say anything about finding food. If there is too much food to take out, then they will report it to the soldiers.

The place where they are is itself a corner on the inside. As long as they keep their voices down and cover them a little, they will not be noticed by outsiders. When Jian Chu and the others pushed a canned box out covered in dust, Mu Nan Shocked, he lowered his voice and said, "There is still canned food in it? Is this still edible? Will it be damaged by the high temperature?" After all, it has been a while since the earthquake. I don't know if the hotel was open before the earthquake, but I didn't see any corpses when I checked before, so it is very likely that the hotel was closed before the earthquake, so the canned food may have been stored for a long time.

Jian Chu said: "You will know if you open a can and try it."

Mu Nan checked carefully with a small flashlight: "Canned corn, why don't you open one and try this? But I've never eaten this. If it's not so bad that it stinks, I don't know what it smells like."

Jian Chu said: "You open it, my hands are dirty, I'll try it, I bought it before, but it's not this brand, but the taste should not be much different." Mu Nan opened the can carefully, because the sound of opening the can I was a little sensitive, afraid of being heard by others, so I deliberately pressed the can to open it. As soon as the can was opened, a sweet smell of corn came out. You don’t need to taste it to know it’s not bad, but Jian Chu still ate a spoonful. Sweet and waxy, his eyes lit up instantly: "It's good! This is sweet, and the sweetness of the corn is still there. Quickly check if this box is full of canned corn." If so, then So happy, he likes to eat corn the most!

Mu Nan turned it over, nodded: "It seems to be all of them."

Jian Chu couldn't help but ate two spoonfuls again, she hadn't eaten corn for a long time, happiness came so suddenly, it was so touching that she wanted to cry.

Xu Ming also came over and took Mu Nan's rechargeable light. The light was so bright that it could illuminate the whole circle after turning it on. However, they didn't intend to writhe outside, they were going to take the light in. Check it out, lest there is too much noise for others to find out, and they all rushed to rush inside, fearing that the place would collapse: "Go in together, I'll go and have a look too."

Jian Chu nodded again and again, but Yu Zibai pressed him down: "You wait outside, we will go in and have a look, and we will replace you later, the inside is very closed and airtight, we take turns to come."

At this moment, Jian Chu was full of excitement of finding the food, and didn't feel that it was stuffy inside at all, but she still waited obediently outside, just reminding them to be careful, and I don't know if there are rats or cockroaches inside, so don't worry about it because of a little If the food is bitten, the loss outweighs the gain.

Song Jia also switched with his brother. It was indeed stuffy and hot inside. The closed environment felt like a membrane was separating his breathing, so he had to come out slowly.

So Wu Zheng, Yu Zibai and Xu Ming went in together. Qin Huai and Mu Nan still stayed outside. Niu Niu's dog brought its owner in again, and Mu Nan said to Song Jia, "Your dog is really worth raising, and it can help you find food. If it wasn't for the dog, who would have known there would be so much food inside."

Song Jia fanned the wind with a piece of cardboard: "Niu Niu is very smart, my brother and I were saved by Niu Niu."

Jian Chu was curious: "How did it save it?"

Song Jia: "On the day of the earthquake, we were at home. Niu Niu was very restless that day and wanted to go out. She is usually very obedient. If you don't take her out, she can stay at home for a whole day. When we went out, we thought it had eaten a bad stomach and we had to go out to pull it, so we had to take it out, but the earthquake happened just downstairs, if Niu Niu hadn't led us to run, we might have been crushed under the rubble."

Mu Nan said: "It's no wonder you are still carrying it, such a dog, no matter how difficult the environment is, I'm afraid there is no way to give it up."

Song Jia sighed: "Niu Niu is only five years old this year. I had always hoped that Niu Niu would live to be at least fifteen years old, but now, I don't know whether to live longer or..."

Mu Nan didn't speak anymore. He never had a pet, but he could probably understand that kind of feeling. At this time, he really didn't know whether it was better to live longer, or to end this painful world early.
