Chapter 11: Hungry for Five Days
After Ding Yuqin finished speaking, she quickly kneaded the muscles on Wang Tao's arm gently without waiting for Wang Tao to refuse.
As Ding Yuqin approached, a faint scent of shampoo penetrated Wang Tao's nostrils, making him feel inexplicably hot.
Wang Tao originally wanted to refuse. He is a manly man, what does this little injury mean?
But the sister-in-law also has good intentions after all. Seeing her serious look, Wang Tao really couldn't refuse. It was definitely not because the sister-in-law's little hands were so comfortable.
"Oh, by the way! I have a medical kit at home, please wait for me..."
Ding Yuqin stood up and was about to go out, but after reaching the door, she quickly turned back to Wang Tao and showed a somewhat flattering smile.
"Wang Tao, don't forget to open the door for your sister-in-law later!"
She was afraid that Wang Tao would lock the door as soon as she went out.
"OK."
Wang Tao nodded, but he didn't close the door. After all, the two of them were facing each other. Within a few steps, the zombies in the corridor were dead, so it was still safe for the time being.
Not long after, Ding Yuqin came out of her house with a medicine box in her arms. When she saw Wang Tao's door open, her face suddenly lit up and she trotted in on her high heels.
"There are some medicines in here to treat bruises..."
Ding Yuqin opened the medicine box, revealing various medicines, bandages and the like inside.
Wang Tao looked at the medicine box and said nothing.
He searched both houses, but couldn't find any medicine boxes. At most, he found some cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine and the like. Not even in his own home. He has always been in relatively good health and has not been to the hospital for several years. There are no regular medicines.
After all, medicine has an expiration date and is expensive. Except for people with some spare money or people with a certain sense of crisis who will prepare professional medicine kits, most people will not buy this thing.
"These are all bought by your brother Zhao, and they have not been used yet..."
Ding Yuqin said with a little pride.
But after she said it, she felt a little discouraged. If the money to buy this medicine box is used to buy food, she will be able to eat for a long time...
Wang Tao's eyes lit up when Ding Yuqin applied some ointments, potions and the like on Wang Tao's arms.
Because he saw changes in his health bar.

【118/120】
These medicines added 3 drops of blood to Wang Tao!
He could also clearly feel that the pain in his arm had reduced a lot and was a little numb.
When the pain stops, the blood will rise, which is very reasonable.
From this incident, Wang Tao can probably infer that he probably did not hurt any bones, otherwise he would not have recovered so quickly.
"This medicine is very effective!"
Wang Tao praised.
"As long as it's useful!"
Ding Yuqin saw that Wang Tao didn't seem to be polite, and she was immediately happy that she could help Wang Tao. After all, if she wanted to borrow food, she had better do it herself. If you give something, no one is a fool.
After applying the medicine, Ding Yuqin continued to help Wang Tao massage the muscles on his arm, which would help the medicine to be absorbed.
But after pressing it for a while, Ding Yuqin complained secretly.
This is too hard, her hands are sore!
In addition, she was very hungry and had no strength...
Wang Tao felt that Ding Yuqin's hand strength was getting weaker and weaker, and he said directly:
" Sister-in-law, there’s no need to press it. I don’t feel any pain anymore. It’s time for dinner. Why don’t you go back after eating?”
"Okay!"
When Ding Yuqin heard about eating, she agreed before her head could react.
But maybe she felt that she was a little embarrassed like this, so she quickly said:
"Ahem, I have nothing to do at home anyway, I'm here to help you! You grown men I guess I don’t cook very often, I’m pretty good at cooking...”
Wang Tao suddenly discovered that the health bar on Ding Yuqin’s head had actually increased.
[+1]
[+1]
[…] Sure enough, the blood bar on Ding Yuqin’s head was not only due to hunger, but also due to fright and lack of sense of security.
“Okay, then I’ll trouble my sister-in-law.”
Many people contribute more, and Wang Tao did not refuse. And he really doesn't know how to cook. He only cares about cooking well.
I just took some vegetables from 301 that are not in good condition. They have been stored for several days and will go bad if I store them any longer. Just treat Ding Yuqin to a meal. After all, Brother Zhao also asked him to take care of his sister-in-law.
Male and female match, work is not tiring.
It didn’t take long to prepare a fairly sumptuous lunch.
Looking at the four dishes and one soup, Ding Yuqin swallowed again.
Five days, it’s already been five days!
She hasn’t had a decent meal for five days! She didn't know how she survived.
Looking at the food on the table, tears suddenly blurred her vision. Only those who have experienced hunger will realize the value of food.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Tao felt strange when he saw Ding Yuqin suddenly covering her mouth and crying.
Could it be that my sister-in-law misunderstood that this was specially prepared for her? Too touched? Then she might be overthinking it.
"No, I'm fine, I made you laugh..."
Ding Yuqin quickly wiped her tears. Even when she was wiping her eye, her other eye never left the meal. She was afraid that this was a dream and nothing would happen as soon as she closed her eyes.
Seeing Wang Tao washing his hands, she quickly washed the bowl and chopsticks, then placed them on the table, then stood aside and waited for Wang Tao to sit down first.
“Sit down, you’re welcome.”
She didn't sit down until Wang Tao sat down. Holding a small bowl full of rice and feeling the warmth in her hands, she almost cried again.
"Oh, by the way, I suggest you, sister-in-law, not to eat too much at once."
Wang Tao suddenly said.
"Yeah, I understand!"
Ding Yuqin nodded quickly. She also understood that if you are hungry for too long, your body will not be able to bear it if you eat too much at one time.
She carefully picked up some green vegetables and put it in her mouth. She took a bite and was filled with happiness!
Although these dishes had long since wilted, she felt that this was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life!
"Huh? It tastes really good!"
Wang Tao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that his sister-in-law's craftsmanship was really good.
While he was eating, he was observing. I found that as Ding Yuqin moved her chopsticks, her green blood bar began to slowly rise.
【+1】

【+1】
[…]
And it must be said that Ding Yuqin is a person who can restrain Wang Tao could feel that she wanted to eat all the food she wanted. But she still tried to eat as slowly as possible, even though it looked unsightly.
Ding Yuqin ate for a while and felt that her body slowly recovered a lot of strength. Only then did she have time to look at Wang Tao secretly.
No wonder Wang Tao is so big and muscular. It turns out he can really eat! Wang Tao could eat half of this large table of food by himself...
But it was only then that she realized that she looked ugly when eating.
In order to avoid embarrassment, she wiped her mouth slightly and then took the initiative to provoke the topic.
“Oh, Wang Tao, you don’t know how unlucky my sister-in-law is. Fortunately, we are neighbors...”
After Ding Yuqin's explanation, Wang Tao finally understood why she was so hungry.
To put it simply, she and her husband returned to their hometown last month. The original plan was to spend a month in their hometown. So they cleared all the food at home in advance.
As a result, her husband was temporarily troubled and came back.
When the two of them returned home, they had no food, but they didn’t care. They made do at a restaurant outside first, and then went shopping in the supermarket together when her husband was not busy.
The next day she slept in, but when she woke up, the virus broke out.
In other words, no matter how little food other people have, they can at least last a few days.
But as for her, there is really not a grain of rice at home. If she hadn't bought some snacks and a bag of bread from Wang Tao, she might have starved to death...
