Chapter 6 Super Large Sapphire Melon
"It smells so smelly-"
Early in the morning, Li Ba was awakened by a scream. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yu'er sitting by the bed, wiping his little hands on his face, as if he was trying to wipe something off.
After twitching a few times, Li Ba smelled a foul stinking, and the stinky smell came from Yu'er and himself, like a smell of feces, which was extremely disgusting.
"It's so fucking smelly!"
He sat up and looked at himself, and found a layer of sticky dirt all over his body, which looked like mud and smelled unheard.
He threw a piece of rag to Yu'er. This was the towel that Li Ba used to wash his face on weekdays. As for himself, he took out a book from under the bed, tore up a few pieces of paper and wiped it.
"Uncle Li, this won't work... it's too smelly!" The voice of Yu'er came with a crying voice.
Li Ba also felt the same way. The dirt on his body cannot be removed by just wiping it, and only taking a bath can clean it. When the end of the world came, the survivors of refugee camps outside the city survived and couldn't even drink water. It was a luxury dream to take a bath.
Xibu settlement provides one liter of water for each refugee outside the city every day. For Li Ba, who works as a coolie, drinking is not enough, so there is no excess water. Under normal circumstances, he will save a little water every few days, wipe his body with a wet towel, and barely maintain personal hygiene. Even so, the smell on his body and the black towel are very bad.
Seeing the little girl crying, Li Ba couldn't bear it. In addition, he could not bear the stench from his body. After thinking about it, he picked up an iron bucket from behind the door and said to the ghost, "Don't run around at home, uncle will get water to take a bath for you!"
Walking out the door, Li Ba looked around, and then his consciousness entered the mysterious space. At this moment, he seemed to be not awake, leaning against his slum, closing his eyes and dozing off. In just a few seconds, after a sensation, Li Ba opened his eyes and his face was full of surprise.
In the mysterious space, after a night, all the fruits produced by the melon vines last night were ripe. More than ten square meters of land had produced more than forty large melons. The normal green jade melon, one net weight is between 600 and 700 grams, which is about one pound, two or three ounces. The green jade melon produced in the mysterious space is more than ten times larger, with a green skin as green as jade, and it looks like a big winter melon. One weighs at least fifteen or sixteen pounds, exuding an attractive sweet fragrance.
Seeing that the melon was very good, the taste was definitely not much different, and the portion was very large, enough for him and the little girl to eat for more than half a month. Li Ba was full of joy and walked towards the gate of the settlement with an iron bucket.
The Xibu settlement has two main gates, one in the south gate and the other in the north gate. The north gate is the main gate, which is for residents in the city to enter and exit. The south gate is facing the refugee camp, which is specially used by survivors outside the city. Under normal circumstances, early in the morning every morning, several water storage trucks will be parked on the south gate to distribute drinking water to refugees. When Li Ba walked over, he saw a large group of refugees surrounding him.
He looked around and found that no one noticed him. Li Ba lowered his left hand into his sleeve, shook it gently, and took out two pieces of bran buns from the mysterious space without any trace. He broke the bran buns in his hand into twenty or thirty small pieces, and then shouted at the crowd: "Change something! Change a bite of bran buns for half a liter of water!"
Water is important, but for survivors outside the city, food is more important. The settlements are distributed for free every day, but the food is not mentioned. Refugees only have two ways to obtain it. One is to be a coolie, and the prerequisite is to pass the physical fitness; the second is to risk their lives and find food away from their settlements.
Xibu settlement is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The only exit is the provincial road. There are wandering zombies everywhere, so it is not easy to find food. If you enter the mountain, it is even more dangerous. When the end of the world comes, unknown viruses spread, not only humans suffer, but other creatures are also infected. The originally docile livestock and poultry have changed drastically and are extremely irritable, and some will turn into human-eating beasts. This is especially true for wild beasts in the mountains. Once someone enters their territory, they will be torn to pieces in an instant, threatening to humans even more than zombies.
These mutated beasts and domestic animals are collectively called mutant beasts by survivors, and have an attack power that exceeds zombies. When ordinary people encounter it, they will be difficult for them to survive. Some powerful mutant beasts cannot even deal with evolutionists.
For safety reasons, Li Ba was willing to work as a hard worker in his residence and survive and never went out to search for supplies. It was too dangerous for him!
However, there are still many people who have sacrificed their lives to go out to find food in the refugee camp outside the city. Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and no one wants to do coolies. If you want to survive, you can only fight for your life. If you are lucky, you will find valuable materials to sell them to your settlements, which will not only bring food, but also have the opportunity to enter the city.
Therefore, a large number of refugees go out to find supplies every day. At night, only half of the people can come back safely. The remaining half are either eaten by zombies or died under the minions of mutant beasts.
There are also some people who are as greedy as Li Ba, and they are not qualified to be coolies, relying on digging wild vegetable trees nearby to maintain their lives. At this moment, hearing Li Ba’s hawking sounds, their eyes turned red, holding various utensils for drinking water, and rushed over.
"Damn!"
The crowd was surging, and hundreds of refugees surrounded him. Li Ba was shocked and quickly cursed: "You damn miscellaneous people, if you want to trade, you will line up one by one. Who dares to get close to me?... I ate all the bran buns and don't change any of them!" He regretted it at this moment, and did not bring the guys who were defending themselves. If these red-eyed guys rushed over, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, Li Ba was strong and 1.82 meters tall, with fat all over his body, and deliberately made a ferocious look, his face was quite fierce, which was quite deterrent. The refugees who came first were afraid and lined up immediately. The people behind him became honest.
"Luckily, I'm domineering enough, otherwise it would be dangerous!"
Li Ba was so scared that he was sweating coldly, and he didn't dare to show any signs of his face. He curled his lips at the first thin man and said, "How much does it change?"
"Swap all!"
The man poured all the iron buckets in front of Li Ba, then picked up two small pieces of bran buns from Li Ba, held them in the palm of his hand like a treasure, and left happily.
"I'll change it all too!"
"I...I'll change halfway!"
Water was poured into the iron bucket. Not long after, Li Ba's hand was covered with all the bran buns, and the iron bucket also contained most of the slightly turbid water.
"The person who has not been replaced is waiting here, I will come here later!"
Li Ba raised the iron barrel and left. After hearing what he had not traded, the refugees who had not been traded, stayed happily in place, waiting in an orderly manner.
The mysterious space cultivated dozens of large melons, enough for Li Ba and Yuer to eat for the first half of the month. Without any worries, the remaining bran buns on hand were exchanged for some water to take a bath. For Li Ba, it was necessary.
Although he is a refugee, he does not want to maintain the most basic personal hygiene like those who are ragged and smelly.
Li Ba carried the iron bucket and jogged home with a light footsteps. The enemy was waiting at the door, and when he saw Li Ba coming back with most of the bucket of water, his little face was full of joy.
"You wash first, uncle will keep the door for you!"
Li Ba handed the iron bucket to Guier. There was a large plastic basin in the room, which he picked up from outside. It was not very useful on weekdays, but it came in handy today.
The ghost seemed to be unable to bear the odor on his body, so he took the iron bucket and carried it in. After a while, the sound of water came from inside. Li Ba leaned against the door, and entered the mysterious space without time. He observed the super-large green jade melons, and laughed out loud from time to time.
He was already a little impatient and wanted to taste the melon grown in a mysterious space. How did it taste?
"Uncle, I want to... change my clothes."
A crack was opened by the wooden door, and a timid voice came from the sound of a timid person.
"Change clothes..." Li Ba frowned and replied, "Uncle has no clothes here. Even if he has them, I'm afraid you can't wear them." Fleeing all the way, life is important, so you have to worry about changing clothes. Besides, with his tall and fat body, even if he has clothes, his beauties are not suitable.
"I don't have it either...but this dress is so smelly!"
"Well... let's do it, Guer, go to bed first and wrap your body with your uncle's coat. Uncle washes your clothes for you and dry them, and it shouldn't smell bad!" Li Ba came up with a way to win. After hearing this, Guer timidly agreed.
Not long after, a tremendous sound came from inside, and then he called out, "Okay." Li Ba pushed open the wooden door and saw a small figure curled up on the bed, wrapped it from head to end in his Armani coat.
His eyes lit up. The clean bees had big eyes, beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Although his body was thin, he looked like a beauty.
"Uncle, why are you staring at me?" said Yu'er stammeringly. Although she is young, she is already confused about what men and women are doing. Especially what happened that night, she has cast a shadow on her weak heart. She is particularly sensitive to Li Ba's eyes at this moment, and her face is full of vigilance and fear.
Li Ba slapped his head, cursed himself inwardly, and then said with a smile: "Girl, you look really like my distant niece." In fact, Li Ba has no father or mother and grew up in an orphanage since he was a child. He has no relatives. He said this to relieve the little girl's nervousness.
Then, Li Ba threw the little girl's clothes into the basin, and rubbed the already darkened bath water, and never looked at the little girl again.
Looking at his back shrugging his shoulders and rubbing his clothes, his vigilant eyes gradually relaxed and became softer.
After a while, after the clothes were scrubbed, Li Ba got up and went out. In less than five minutes, he spent two pieces of bran buns and changed to half a bucket of water. He poured out the dirty water and rinsed Yan'er's clothes with clean water several times until he couldn't smell the odor in his nose, and then took it out to dry it.
"Girl, close your eyes, uncle is going to take a shower!"
When he walked into the door, Li Ba said half-jokingly. Yu'er immediately closed her eyes, lay on the bed with her back facing Li Ba.
"Little girl!"
Li Ba shook his head and smiled. He began to take off his clothes and take a shower. The clear water poured on his body was extremely comfortable. He hadn't felt this way for a long time. Li Ba squinted his eyes, humming a small song, and wiped his body with a dirty towel. Pieces of dirt were rubbed off like noodles. The feeling was... amazing.
"Damn, my stomach seems to have become smaller..."
While wiping, Li Ba muttered. Not to mention that after a night, his big belly seemed to shrink and became much smaller. Li Ba was quite dissatisfied with this. The end of the world came, and in such a harsh environment, he had not lost a few pounds of fat on his body... Until today, he found that he had lost weight, and it seemed that he was still not nutritious enough.
Li Ba never criticized his figure. In his opinion, men without a general's belly cannot say the word "domineering". Therefore, for his name, he did not allow himself to lose weight.
After a big meal later, he should be able to support his stomach. Li Ba thought to himself, not long after, seeing that he had almost washed, he stood up, glanced at him, and felt sad again. His clothes were also stained with a lot of dirt, dirty and stinky.
After thinking about it, he first rubbed the boxer shorts, then tweaked them hard and put them on his body. Although the wet pants were a little unhappy, they were better than being naked. Then, he washed the rest of the clothes and took them out to dry them.
"Girl, let's have breakfast now!"
Walking into the house, Li Ba was wearing shorts, bare chest and breasts, and said with a smile on the bed with his belly.
"What are you going to have for breakfast? Otherwise, uncle, please give me two bottles of spring water." Yu'er turned her head and licked her lips, recalling the wonderful taste of the spring water last night, looking like she was still unsatisfied.
"I won't drink water today, I have something good to share with you!"
Li Ba was mysterious and squatted down, touched the bed for a while, and actually brought out a big green melon.
"Winter melon!"
"Wrong! This is melon."
This thing that resembles a big winter melon is naturally a super-large green jade melon planted in a mysterious space. It was moved to the table by Li Ba and emitted a tempting and sweet fragrance. After smelling it, Yu'er's index finger moved and his little head wrapped in Armani's coat came over.
Li Ba took out a dagger from under the bed and wiped it with a cloth. The dagger had slaughtered a few guys the night before yesterday, but the blood on it was not dry.
"Hurry! Uncle Li, hurry up!"
Yan'er couldn't help but urged her. Li Ba smiled and planned to cut the melon with a dagger. After the blade was cut into half an inch, the whole melon exploded and split into two halves. The juice splashed, and Yan'er's mouth was splashed a few drops, and her little tongue stretched out and licked it. Her eyes lit up, so sweet!
As Li Ba cut the melon into petals, the whole room was filled with a tempting and sweet fragrance. Li Ba swallowed and looked at Yan'er. At some point, the two of them started to fight at the same time.
"Tasteful! So delicious!"
A 'huff' voice came from the shed.
