Chapter 33
After Nanzhi finished eating the sweet potatoes, Aunt Liu said a few words and left. Her two daughters-in-law didn't get much rest last night, and today they helped bandage the wounded. She went to watch the children so that they could rest more. a while.
The sun began to slowly set towards the west again from high in the sky, and Shen Miaomiao woke up after sleeping for an hour and a half.
Looking at the people resting under the tree, she smacked her lips and then looked at Nanzhi: "Sister Nanzhi, are you hungry?"
Nanzhi changed her position while holding the dog, and freed up her sore right hand before replying: "Hungry."
Shen Miaomiao rubbed her empty stomach and after hearing her stomach growl twice, she said with some embarrassment: "Sister Nanzhi, please, I'm going to find my grandma first."
I originally wanted to come over to help, but ended up staying here sleeping for so long. Thinking about it, I ran away with a blushing face without waiting for Nanzhi to say anything.
Nanzhi didn't say much and just continued to fan the dog with his free hand.
The weather was so hot now that even if she picked up a leaf and fanned the dog, the back of his neck was soaked with sweat.
Gou'er opened his eyes and saw Nanzhi fanning himself. He was stunned for a moment, and then he called out: "Auntie."
Nanzhi smiled at the dog's dazed look and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Auntie, your face is so dark."
"..."
The originally warm atmosphere was suddenly broken. Nanzhi shook his head and handed the sweet potato given by Aunt Liu to the dog.
"Good boy, get up and eat sweet potatoes."
The dog took the sweet potato and nodded obediently.
After the dog finished eating, he seemed to remember something, looked at Nanzhi and said, "Mom, let's go home."
"I don't know if it's safe now, and I don't know if I can go back."
Gou'er looked at Nanzhi a little confused, his two little eyebrows barely twisted into twists.
"I, I want to go home and see big river clams."
Nanzhi was a little surprised when she heard this. She only thought that the dog wanted to go home and stay. She never thought that he wanted to go home and see the river clams. Could it be that the dog regarded the river clams as pets?
She recalled in her mind the news that she had seen in the past about the deep affection between dolls and pets. She only thought of the dog as a pet and the river clam as a pet. Now she was worried about its safety: "Don't worry, dog. I'll be there soon." Mom, go ask Grandpa Lizheng if you can go home and have a look."
She was also worried about whether the food she put in the cellar had been buried.
The dog chuckled as he recalled the dream he had just had about the big river clam growing two legs and running around.
Nanzhi just thought it was a little baby playing by himself and didn't think much about it.
I took the dog and went to find Shen Dashan.
Shen Dashan is also worried about food. There are old and young people in his family, not to mention his young daughter-in-law who is still in confinement. Where can she go hungry?
If word gets out that Shen Dashan made his daughter-in-law starve during confinement, he won't want this face anymore.
After hearing Nanzhi ask if he could go home and have a look, he looked around and no one was paying attention, and then asked in a low voice: "Girl, tell me, how do you know you can turn over like a fool?" .”
Nanzhi was a little hesitant after hearing this. What should I say?
That she and the dog both dreamed about it?
She said that because of a dream, she asked the whole village to sleep on the dam at night?
Shen Dashan saw that Nanzhi was a bit embarrassed and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, if it weren't for Lin Yatou, he would probably be pressed under the beam now.
"I don't know if there will be a second one, but there hasn't been any movement for so long. As long as you go home quickly to get some food or something, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Shen Dashan recalled the time when he rolled over twenty years ago. Although it was not as powerful as this time, he still rolled around intermittently for two days. At that time, Lihua Village had not built this dam, and everyone slept on the road. Nearby, there were also people who did not believe in evil and went home to sleep. As a result, they happened to encounter a local cow turning over and died completely.
If you just go home to get some food, you should be fine if you go in and out quickly.
"If you want to go home to get something, move faster. When we went to rescue people this morning, we saw the Li family's house collapsed. We didn't see much of your house through the courtyard wall, but your house is made of bricks and tiles. There shouldn’t be any big problems with the room. Just take enough for two days. If there is no movement tomorrow, it should be fine.”
After all, the Shen family's house was newly built six years ago, and it must be stronger than other houses that are more than ten or twenty years old.
Nanzhi nodded and said, "Hey, thank you, Uncle Li Zheng."
After thanking her, Nanzhi took the dog and went to find Aunt Liu.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Liu looked at Nanzhi and her mother and wanted to move her position.
Nanzhi waved his hand and pushed the dog forward: "Mom, I want you to help me look after the dog for a while while I go back home to get some food."
Aunt Liu was a little worried after hearing what Nanzhi said and asked, "I don't know if it's safe to go back now..."
"I should be fine if I move faster. Uncle Li Zheng said that everyone should stay on this dam for another day. I'll go back and get some sweet potatoes or something."
After saying that, Nanzhi looked at the clothes on his body again, and said with some embarrassment: "Besides, the clothes I am wearing are not very comfortable now. I will come out when I go back and change."
Aunt Liu looked at Nanzhi's clothes, whose original color had long since disappeared, and then looked at the dirty dog, and nodded: "Okay, Auntie Dog will look at it for you for a while. You move faster." That’s it.”
"Eh."
Nanzhi was relieved when someone watched the dog.
Looking at the ruins along the way, her heart tightened. If her house collapsed, she couldn't take her dog to live in a cave, right?
With things in mind, Nanzhi hurriedly ran towards his home. He didn't slow down until he saw his own courtyard wall.
After looking around the courtyard wall, I found that except for a few bricks falling off, it didn't seem to be much affected.
This was a bit unbelievable. Nanzhi looked at his yard, and then at the Li family next door, which collapsed, and Aunt Liu's house, where half of the house collapsed.
Could it be that the quality of my yard is good?
Suspicious in his heart, Nanzhi still opened the door to the courtyard. His originally worried heart suddenly relaxed the moment he saw his house.
Not to mention the collapse of her yard, not even the broom she had left standing by the door yesterday had been moved.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Nanzhi felt a little incredible, and quickly went into the house again. There was no sign of an earthquake at all.
Nanzhi is not stupid. No matter how good the quality of his house is, it is definitely not normal for him to not even knock down the broom during such a big earthquake.
Thinking carefully, Nanzhi looked at the sky. Could it be that her husband, whom she had never met, was protecting her family?
Thinking about it, Nanzhi bowed to the sky.
"Thank you so much. I will definitely not forget to ask my dog to burn paper for you during the holidays."
After marrying the cheap man, Nanzhi hurried back to the house to change into clean clothes, and packed a small bag of chestnut and sweet potatoes from the kitchen as rations.
Before leaving, I didn’t forget to go under the eaves of the backyard to see if the river mussels were still alive.
I watched the river clam as big as a basin lying quietly in the basin. From time to time, it would open its shell and spit out some white meat. Then I felt relieved. I went to the well to get some water and poured it into the wooden basin before leaving.
The river clam in the wooden basin watched Nanzhi go away, and opened its shell with some pride, exposing the soft clam meat to feel the cold well water.
This home can't live without it, right? Otherwise, the home will collapse. He turned around in the tub proudly, then closed the clam shell and lay quietly.
