Ran - Unusual Happenings

36

Bear prepped you all go to bed after giving extra apples to the horses and meat to the carnivores, you all clean up the rest of the cooked meat is placed in the caravan for tomorrow, having a quick wash down you climb into the tent and snicker as you cuddle in and drift off.

In the morning you cleared up as you drank coffee and had some more meat, packing away you look into the near distance and see some building like shapes, getting in the seat you flick the reins and head to the ruins, humming as you look around the area as you travel.

The four sat around the table thinking about you and how your first night was, the kitten had moved in with Rindou while the cat left was living with Mikey, they ate breakfast in silence all looking glum when Sanzu laughed "yeah, it's weird with out them now" they all look at him as he grins while eating.

Ran says "I wonder if she had a good night?" the three all grin at him and he looks back down as they snicker, they clean up and finish packing the trucks for their trip tomorrow, Rindou says "it's quite funny that she is more willing to rush into danger than us" Mikey laughs and nods.

It had taken you all day while stopping occasionally to search the fields or the wooded areas, you finally reach the first building and look around for your camping area, seeing an open area you turn in that direction as you reach you grimace, and sigh, turning "let's try further in?" they nod and go in further.

Finally finding an area big enough you set up and allow them to wander the immediate area, then the fence comes out as you feed and water them all, you light the fire and frown as you look around, pulling cart and containers, baskets and bags ready on it, you walk off with the new dog.

He runs in places first as you go in after, finding food stuffs in the first one you grab the baskets and go in looking at the shelves you grab what seems intact, placing in the baskets you go through the entire store, having 16 baskets full, you place them on the cart then move to the next store or house.

Walking into this one as you see it's a chemist, frowning you take a container and fill it with everything here still on the shelves "I need to find a translation dictionary?" taking the boxes, you place the container on the cart, you had been in plenty of places and found a few bits.

Sighing you come to the last one and go in then walk back out with a shiver and check in again, sneering as you see that it is a book shop, taking a breath you send the dog in then follow, they move away and stare as you go past, checking the shelves you find cook books and grab a few, then keep scanning.

A little panicked as you look for what you wanted until you find an area full of English books, you scan them picking up what could be useful or interesting when you finally find it, grabbing all that there was you quickly leave dog leading the way, outside you shiver.

Walking back to camp quickly and washing down, spiders you hated spiders checking the books for condition then placing the best to one side, the others are put in a different area, unloading the food stuffs you check the labels seeing some already had English on, reading them "okay, so this is tinned cabbage rolls".

Placing all that together then you did this for all the things found and grouped them, the ones without English you looked up and place them with what they're defined as, finding the pen you write on them and grin, looking at the packets of tablets you groan and place them all in the storage box.

Looking at the selection of foods you open the cabbage rolls and make bear skewers with a mixed herb and chilli rub, apples are given to the horses and cow, as the food cooked you milk the cow and start the butter making and laugh a little, remembering when you taught them to milk and make butter, food cooked you serve the four of you and smile.

Biting into the rolls you groan "these are really nice" then going into the caravan you look through the seasonings and grab the light soy placing some on one roll you eat it and laugh happily, reading the back of the can you find out what are in them and blink "I can make these? Well similar" smiling as you finish your meal.

The light faded to black placing more wood in the fire you crawl into he tent and drop off to sleep allowing the animals to keep you safe, kind of wishing you had someone to hug but shrugging it off as your final thought. They got up early and left with little fan fair, at the bottom of the mountain they turned to the right, having decided to stay together for now.

They traveled for a few hours then reached what was a town or large village, getting down they surveyed the area and went into different buildings, they all came back with bits and grinned filling one truck first Ran had the truck they had made an animal trailer, they had found some food items in large barrels.

As they keep looking around, they see a small shop that had shelves, going in they check the bits on the shelves and take all that is undamaged, then move the shelves into the truck, the packages and tins go in, checking the back, they see some English and read it with a frown "this seems to be food" they shrug and take it all anyway, going in further they see housing.
