Chapter 102 Jingyuan and Movies

"Is there anything else you want to use electricity for? I'm going to turn off the generator. If I turn off the electricity, it will probably be seven or eight days before I turn it on again." Jingyuan washed the dishes and rubbed soap on his hands.

Foam and rinse away any oil stains from your hands.

"No more." Tang Xue shook her head and put down the unformed scarf in her hand. The gray scarf was already knitted as long as Jingyuan's forearm.

Jingyuan nodded, took off his apron, wiped his hands with a dry towel, picked up the air conditioner remote control panel, turned off all the air conditioners in the living room and bedroom, and pressed the light switches in sequence.

The bright room suddenly darkened. It was not as dark as the middle of winter. He took off the charged desk lamp and pressed the switch. A beam of white light illuminated his and Tang Xue's faces in the darkness. He placed the desk lamp next to Tang Xue.

He took another small flashlight from the coffee table and went to the basement alone.

He moved the generator to the power distribution room in the basement. The basement can also be connected to the circuits of the entire house. If it is placed here, the rumbling generator will not be too noisy. It is basically inaudible from upstairs.

Yes, it should be said that it is indeed a villa. Even this situation has been anticipated. This small compartment is like a special power generation room.

He used a small flashlight to turn off the generator, and took a look at the oil drums in the storage room.

There were also twelve and a half barrels of diesel. In addition to the few barrels of diesel he found at the Xiuhu Avenue gas station, he also visited several gas stations in the southern suburbs during the past ninety days. Some of the diesel was found at those gas stations.

, some were found in residents’ homes.

These oil drums were sealed blue-painted steel drums. It took him four or five days to put the diesel into the oil drums one after another.

There is a capacity mark on the oil drums. They are all large and uniform oil drums. The standard weight of a full drum is about 158 ​​kilograms.

He has eight small fuel tanks. When he needs oil, he unscrews the fuel tank cap, puts a funnel in the opening, scoops out the diesel with a wooden ladle, and pours it into the small fuel tank along the funnel.

The fuel tank has a small opening and can be poured into the fuel tank of a generator or agricultural tricycle. As long as the motor is not developed for a long time, these twelve and a half barrels, almost two tons of diesel, will be enough for him to use for a long, long time.

He thought about getting an earthen stove when he came back. He had seen cylindrical stoves for burning briquettes in some farmers' mud houses, but at that time he felt that the briquettes reserves were too small and it was better to burn firewood, so he didn't move it back.

Now think about it, find a small, low stove, just for heating. It is actually not bad. When the electricity is not turned on and the air conditioner is not turned on, you can move it to the bedroom to warm up the room a little.

When burning firewood in a brazier, the smoke is still a bit too much. Dry firewood is fine. If some of the firewood is damp, the black smoke will come out and make people uncomfortable. The walls will be covered with a layer of ash, and the open fire will burn in the fire pit.

In the bedroom, you always have to worry about fire.

It would be much better to have a stove. You can put the unburned charcoal into the stove, leaving only some small air inlets and smoke outlets. When you want to sleep, close the air inlets and smoke outlets, and it will

It went out.

But pay attention to ventilation. He remembered that insufficient oxygen and insufficient combustion of charcoal will produce carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas. There are many reports of carbon monoxide poisoning in the news because people in rural areas burn charcoal and firewood for heating in winter.

, and closed the house tightly.

You should just open the small window on the upper wall. Anyway, it is only for heating, and you should turn off the fire when you sleep.

With this thought in mind, he left the basement and came to the hall.

After playing chess with Tang Xue for a while, Jingyuan glanced at the laptop and suddenly said, "Do you want to watch a movie?"

He hasn't shown any movies and TV series to Tang Xue yet. Mainly because he has watched all the TV series and movies in them, some even several times. In his free time these days, he has been minding his own business with Tang Xue.

While chatting with Xue, I never asked her if she wanted to watch TV or read a book for a while.

"Are there any movies to watch?" Tang Xue asked.

"There are some in the hard drive, as well as TV series. The laptop has just been charged, and it can almost last through a whole movie. Let's watch a movie tonight. Is there anything you want to watch?"

"I have watched very few movies and almost no TV series. As for the subject matter, I don't want to watch disaster movies or horror movies. Anything else is fine."

"Have you seen "The Way to Redemption"?"

"I've heard of it, it seems quite famous, but I haven't seen it."

"Then let's watch this."

"Go and lie down on the bed and read. I have a foldable bed desk. Just put the computer on the desk and that's it."

"But Mr. Jingyuan, can you see clearly? Isn't your eyesight not very good?"

"I've seen it all, it's okay."

As he spoke, Jingyuan pushed the wheelchair to the stairs upstairs. Just when he was about to carry Tang Xue up with the wheelchair as usual, Tang Xue suddenly said that she wanted to try going up the stairs with her own feet.

Jingyuan thought that she could stand up today and it was time for some rehabilitation training, so he helped her stand up.

She walked up the stairs very slowly, holding on to the handrail and stopping step by step.

Jingyuan followed her, holding her shoulders to prevent her from accidentally falling.

Halfway through, her forehead was already sweating a lot. At the corner of the stairs, she patted her chest, blushed slightly, and took a breather.

"Sorry, I can't seem to make it upstairs by myself."

"It's okay, I'll carry you up."

"Can you carry me up?"

"It's okay. Does it hurt somewhere?"

"I just want you to hold me."

"." Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds, and then picked her up, holding her knees and back, a very standard princess hug.

Tang Xue put her hands around Jingyuan's neck, looking at Jingyuan's face intently, smiling vaguely.

Jingyuan laid her flat on the bed and took out the folding bed desk and laptop.

The small desk is about half a meter long and wide. It can be placed very close to a person lying on the bed. The gap at the bottom of the table can be placed just at the waist. He has used this small desk to watch movies and TV series before because his eyesight is too poor.

Sorry, I have to bring the computer closer to see the subtitles clearly.

If two people were watching, he would put the table at his feet.

With a crisp electronic beep, the computer turned on, and the screen's fluorescent light shone on their faces. Jingyuan plugged in the mouse, found the folder, amplified the sound, and clicked on the movie.

Tang Xue had already warmed the bed. She put up the pillows and reserved a place for Jingyuan.

Anyway, they had been sleeping together for seven or eight days, and Jingyuan didn't feel shy at all, so he just lay beside her.

When the movie's opening animation and music started playing, Tang Xue couldn't help laughing, and suddenly she covered her mouth and laughed.

"What's wrong?" Jingyuan didn't know what she was laughing at. The characters hadn't appeared yet, not even a scene.

"Mr. Jingyuan, look up there." Tang Xue pointed to the top of the screen.

Jingyuan understood immediately. This was a pirated movie. When it was played, advertising banners would scroll on it. At this moment, a line of large characters had scrolled across the top. He could vaguely make out it, which was "XXX Casino, XXX Beautiful Dealer, Website

XXX"

He didn't pay attention when he looked at it before, but now Tang Xue pointed it out and he realized it.

He couldn't help but laugh. There are no casinos and beautiful dealers these days.

The movie started, and the city's vista opened up, showing the bright sunshine and the bustling British-style city. Big Ben struck and the bells rang. Tang Xue's silvery laughter gradually stopped and she stared at the screen.

Her black pupils reflected the faces of those foreigners, those tall buildings, row after row, and then it started to rain, the sun disappeared, the thunder roared, the day turned into night, and the metropolis turned into a court and a narrow and cramped place.

prison.

Under the quilt, she hugged one of Jingyuan's hands.

Jingyuan touched her head with his other hand, and she rested naturally in Jingyuan's arms, her head pressed against Jingyuan's chest, and the sound of her heartbeat was transmitted to her.

"If I die at this moment, I will definitely feel very happy." She said softly.

Jingyuan didn't say anything, he just pinched her earlobe and pulled the quilt up a little.

He thought that if he continued to live like this

Seems pretty good
