Chapter 19 Jingyuan and Yuye

The heavy rain didn't stop all day long.

When the hands of the watch reached six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky became completely dark.

As if the world will end on this day, the violent thunder dragon is roaring in the dark clouds, and in the darkness, the thick blue electric arc can be clearly seen.

The sound of rain was falling continuously, and water columns as thick as fingers connected the sky and the earth. Even the balcony was covered with seven or eight centimeters of water.

Rainwater penetrated the gaps in the doors and windows and flowed into the hall, accumulating a thin layer of water mist on the tiles.

Jingyuan thought to himself that it was probably God who wanted to destroy this sad world.

But he felt that based on what he had done in his life, he should be qualified to board the mythical Noah's Ark.

Although he has never accomplished any great feats in his life, he still followed the standard route planned by the state, completed elementary school, junior high school and high school, was admitted to a decent undergraduate university, and became one of the thousands of ordinary people. He has never done this before.

Bad things will not end in drowning in the flood.

The air was cold and humid, and the rainwater was very dirty, as if it had been soaked in rust, with a faint blood-red color and an unpleasant pungent smell.

In order to prevent Xiaobai from being contaminated by the rainwater, he carried Xiaobai to the sofa early. The temperature dropped sharply. Compared with the warm and comfortable temperature yesterday, the temperature at this time seemed to have suddenly entered the cold winter.

Jingyuan wrapped Xiaobai in a quilt, but even so, it was shivering.

He couldn't use his body temperature to keep the puppy warm, because his body temperature was not that of a normal human being at all, only about a dozen degrees, or even lower.

He didn't feel cold, but still lit up the fire.

Remove the bed board from the bedroom, chop it with a kitchen knife and bricks, and put it in the brazier. The brazier is a stainless steel wok found in the kitchen. It is placed on the coffee table. Use a lighter to light the toilet paper as a primer. The wood board will burn and the warmth will be emitted.

of fire.

He wrapped himself in a quilt and warmed up over the fire with Xiaobai, so that at least some of the moisture and pungent smell in the air could be dried out, making him feel better.

He put all the food on the coffee table where he could see it at any time.

You can count cans on one hand, four bottles of drinking water, self-heating individual soldier rations that are enough for an adult for a day, a bottle of high-altitude white wine, a pack of bacon, a pack of sausages, and a pack of coffee beans.

, two boxes of expired Shuhua milk, this is all he has.

Xiaobai's condition doesn't look good. He curled up in Jingyuan's arms, closed his eyes, and purred. It seems to be his old problem. It was mentioned in the diary that when it rains, this poor dog will

A lame dog will be like an elderly person suffering from arthritis, finding a place to lie down quietly and no longer running around lively.

The muscles near its broken right hind leg had been twitching uncontrollably.

Jingyuan brought the brazier closer so that it could shine with more warm firelight.

He put Xiaobai on the sofa, put on his shoes and went to the bedroom, looking at the wooden wardrobe from top to bottom.

The wooden strips were nailed to the sliding board one by one. After finding the weak connection, he picked up the blue brick on the bed and smashed it hard.

Bang, bang, bang, the wooden bar broke. He grabbed the broken part and broke it with all his strength. Holding the firewood that had not yet become damp, he returned to the sofa and added two dry firewood to the brazier.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Xiaobai was already asleep. The firelight reflected in Jingyuan's eyes. He silently poked the red-hot coals in the brazier with a wooden stick and looked out of the balcony from time to time.

The heavy rain fell from morning to night with no intention of stopping.

As a child who grew up inland, he had never seen such violent heavy rains since he was a child. Even the big trees in the community were uprooted by the strong wind.

No wonder those coastal areas have to close businesses and schools when encountering typhoons. With a storm of this magnitude, it is really dangerous to go out.

He felt a little hungry, so after thinking about it, he put two bricks on both sides of the brazier without opening the can, and went to the kitchen to get a stew pot.

Pour a quarter of a bottle of water into the pot, place the pot on top of the bricks, and let the flames burn the bottom of the pot. Small bubbles and white steam slowly emerge from the water in the pot.

He wants to boil a cup of hot water for coffee.

After lightly wiping the handle of the kitchen knife with toilet paper, he used the wooden stick as a pestle to grind coffee beans in a porcelain bowl.

When the water in the pot boiled, he poured the hot water into the porcelain bowl and stirred the powdered coffee grounds with chopsticks.

A rich and delicious coffee aroma wafted out, diluting the pungent smell around him.

He blew in the hot air and took a sip of the handmade coffee with a rough frosted texture. Although he couldn't taste it, it smelled delicious. Holding the steaming coffee in his hands, it felt as if he was still in his own small rental house, warm and comfortable.

Peace of mind.

He thought, wait two more days, save some food, it can last at least more than a week, and maintain the minimum water requirement, the limit is three days.

There was too little water, with less than 2000ml of clean water left. Although he couldn't feel thirsty, not feeling thirsty didn't mean he didn't need it.

Just like him, he can't feel pain, but if he cuts his skin with a knife, he will still be injured and bleed.

There is blood, which should mean that he needs to drink water. However, he probably won't die if he doesn't drink water for a short period of time, but the skin will definitely dry up, and the muscles may atrophy and become weak, just like he was stabbed to death with a gun today.

Like those zombies, even walking is a problem.

You must know that most of the body tissues of the human body are composed of water. If a person is completely dried out, his weight will be reduced by three-quarters. For an adult who weighs 120 pounds, his whole body will be 90 pounds of water.

That's why he was eager to replenish water. He didn't know if his skin and muscles would be able to recover if they atrophied.

Normal people need to supplement 2000ml of water a day, which can be obtained from food and drinking water.

Yesterday he ate a big mango, so he had enough water, but today it was impossible to drink all the pure water in one breath, and he had to leave some for Xiaobai to drink.

Water resources are already seriously insufficient.

Damn it!

It was clearly raining heavily and flooding outside, but he was worrying about the water, as if he was deliberately teasing him.

He held the coffee cup, sighed, and took another sip.

At this time, Xiaobai suddenly woke up and bumped his leg with his head.

"Are you hungry?"

Jingyuan thought it hadn't had dinner today, so he took a porcelain bowl, poured some dog food for it, and poured some cold water for it on a small plate.

Xiaobai lowered his head and stuck out his tongue to lick the bowl and plate clean, then limped to the sofa to pick up the Frisbee and handed it to Jingyuan's hand.

Its legs are still shaking, so it stands to reason that it wouldn't want to play Frisbee.

Maybe it wants to run and jump, or maybe it senses that its owner is in a bad mood and wants to make him happy.

Who can know what a puppy is thinking?

In short, Jingyuan didn't throw the Frisbee out, he just touched its head to comfort it.

As its breathing gradually calmed down, its body slowly crawled down. After a few minutes, it curled up and fell asleep again.

Jingyuan added another handful of firewood to the brazier, listened to the increasingly louder rain, and waited in silence for the end of the day.
