Chapter 597 - 597 598 Isnt That Very Dangerous

Chapter 597: Chapter 598: Isn’t That Very Dangerous? Chapter 597: Chapter 598: Isn’t That Very Dangerous? “Xiao’ai, come, help Grandma pull a bit.”

Outside the house, in the yard, an elderly and a young one were tending to the withered grass.

Old Ge pushed the gate open from beyond the fence and saw that they were still busy working.

“Not done yet?”

Fu Shiyin looked up and saw her husband, Ge Tingzhi, had returned, so she stood up and took off her towel to dust herself off.

“You’re back?”

“Yes, I’m back. It’s getting cold. If you stay outside too long, what if you both catch a cold?”

“No worries, we’ve only been out here for a little while.” She then turned her head and asked Xiao’ai, “Right, Xiao’ai dear?”

Xiao’ai nodded, smilingly.

“Such a good child,” Fu Shiyin smiled.

Old Ge couldn’t help but laugh helplessly, turned around to close the yard gate, and went forward to take Xiao’ai’s hand, “Come on, let’s go inside.”

Fu Shiyin looked around and then turned to enter the house.

Her husband’s expression looked as if he was concerned about something, and he went inside and closed the door.

Ge Tingzhi had already placed Xiao’ai beside the dining table. The evening meal was already prepared by Fu Shiyin, just waiting for Ge Tingzhi to return from the Luo family.

A couple of wheat pancakes, vegetable soup, and a small dish of sauce-dried fish.

The meal was very simple, light.

Fu Shiyin placed a few small dried fish into Xiao’ai’s bowl, “Xiao’ai, eat up.”

“Mm,” Xiao’ai responded and started eating.

She had gotten quite used to life at the Ge family these days.

“How was it? How did your talk go with that couple at the Luo’s?”

Ge Tingzhi didn’t rush to eat. He leaned his arms on the table, his expression not very content.

“Nowadays, many people sneak into the mountains. The military personnel want to manage but they can’t handle it. Recently, a lot of people have died. I think it’s going to cause trouble.”

His tone was undoubtedly solemn.

Fu Shiyin was silent for a moment before looking up and asking, “Are the wild animals in the mountains really that fierce?”

“In the areas close to the mountain, there certainly aren’t many wild animals left. On one hand, it’s because people already started capturing some when the safety zone was first established. Also, when the military was settling people, they had already inspected and minimized the dangers. But still, some people boldly head deep into the mountains.”

Old Ge sighed, “The people from City C, before the disaster, they all lived in the city. How many of them know how to hunt? ”

Besides, after so many years of modernization, there are fewer and fewer wild animals in the mountains, but that doesn’t mean there are none at all.

“Going deep into the old forests, no matter how cautious you are, there are always snakes, insects, rodents, and the like.

And if something really happens, they’ll have “no one in heaven or earth to call for help.”

You wouldn’t even know how they died inside there.

“Does the Luo boy also want to go into the mountains?”

“Exactly, seeing that some have actually hunted there and returned successfully, can he not be tempted?”

“But that’s very dangerous.”

“Yes, I hear he’s thinking, along with about a dozen families, to band together. There’s strength in numbers, perhaps worrying that if they really encounter a problem deep inside, they can solve it together.”

“That’s true, but people in this safety zone don’t interact much on regular days. When it comes down to it, who can really help whom?”

This time, Old Ge also said little, just sighed and picked up his chopsticks.

“Let’s just eat. We can’t persuade too much. If Luo Gang has this idea, he must have his own reasons.”

Fu Shiyin thought about it and agreed.

“The Luo family is large and they eat a lot. With the same rations, theirs run out quickly. If they really could find some wild game in the mountains, it would really be quite good. I’ve heard that a few households in the Second District have already caught some wild chickens, and they’ve started laying eggs recently.”
