Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 90 Sled Dogs

"Hello, is this Village Chief Fan?"

"It's me, Lao Zhang, what's the matter with you?"

Village head Fan was staring at the heavy snow outside the window in a daze. Huicheng had never experienced such a heavy snowfall. Now it was both novel and frightening.

"Old Fan, it's snowing heavily outside, did you see that?" Zhang Chongxin said straight to the point.

"I see, it's really big enough."

"Our family, Zhang Hao, just told me that the heavy snow may last for half a month. The village had better prepare in advance, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

Zhang Chongxin tried to remind him.

Village head Fan couldn't help being surprised: "Half a month? Didn't the weather report say that?"

Zhang Hao directly took the phone from his father:

"Uncle Fan, our heads are covered with volcanic ash, and the weather satellites are no longer working. It is difficult to predict accurately. I also heard an analysis from an old expert, who said that the probability of continuous heavy snowfall is relatively high."

"Is the news accurate?"

Village head Fan immediately paid attention to it.

"I can't say that it's 100% accurate. I'm still [-]% to [-]% sure. We haven't had heavy snowfall in Huicheng. I'm afraid that if you don't have experience, you might suffer a lot."

"That's right, that's right, you're right, we really don't have any experience at all, and we don't know where to start." Village Chief Fan immediately echoed.

"Village Chief Fan, don't worry too much. As long as we do two things right now, we can basically get through this snow disaster safely."

"Which two points?" Village Chief Fan asked hastily.

"First of all, it is necessary to arrange personnel to regularly clear the snow. This is the most important thing. Especially the roof and trees need special attention, and collapse accidents must be avoided."

"It's simple. I'll organize everyone to help clean up from door to door."

Zhang Hao nodded: "Also, take precautions against the cold in advance, and store as much wood or coal as possible. I guess there will be a major power outage in the urban area in a few days, so don't take chances."

"Big blackout? So serious?"

"Uncle Fan, the scale of this snowstorm is unprecedented. It has caused great damage to infrastructure. Cutting off water and electricity is a routine operation. Maybe even traffic will be cut off. We must prepare for the worst."

Zhang Hao didn't want to scare the other party.

The real situation is ten times worse than what he said.

"I see, is there anything else that needs attention?"

"If conditions permit, we can find a larger place to take care of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the whole village. This is more convenient and safer."

Village head Fan had an idea: "Jingwen Nanhu District has an underground parking lot. Some time ago, the upper management sent people to install a boiler. It is said that it can burn coal for heating."

"With heating, of course it would be better."

Zhang Hao was very pleased.

Here's his suggestion, and it seems to work well.

"Okay, I'll tell everyone to go to the village headquarters for a meeting now, this matter can't be delayed."

"Uncle Fan, let everyone pay attention."

Zhang Hao said earnestly.

"Well, there will be a meeting later, you should come over to see if there is anything missing."

"it is good!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, the entire Shawei Village went into action and started a vigorous snow removal campaign.

Zhang Hao was not idle either, and drove out a brand new snowplow from the garage. The snowplow had been bought before, and three of them were prepared at one go, as they were just needed.

After all, my yard has more than 300 mu, and it is unrealistic to plow snow manually. Only machines can complete such a large workload, but even with a snow plow, it took a full half a day.

After a week of this, the heavy snow still has no sign of stopping.

In addition, everything went as Zhang Hao expected. On the fifth day after the heavy snow started, Shawei Village was completely in the predicament of water and electricity cutoffs.

In fact, not only Shawei Village, but the entire Huicheng City experienced large-scale water and power outages. As for other cities, the situation is also the same.

After breakfast, Zhang Hao arrived at the village on time.

Village head Fan is now focused on disaster relief, and he can only take over the patrol team again. Fortunately, the village is now blocked by heavy snow, and outsiders can't get in, so the work is much easier.

"Old Zhang, you are here!"

It was the group leader Long Jianhua who spoke.

"Did anything happen last night?"

Zhang Hao asked casually.

Long Jianhua shook his head: "It's nothing serious, it's just that someone in the garage has an illness, and the community hospital can't see it. Uncle Fan is about to send him to the city."

"To the city? How to get there? The snow outside is more than one meter deep, and no car can get out."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but wonder.

What's more, it's so dark right now, there isn't even a street light, the risk of going out is too high.

"Tell me to get a dog sled..."

"Who came up with such a bad idea? Dog sledding is not as easy as imagined. If you get stuck halfway, it's really not going to work."

Zhang Hao subconsciously shook his head.

Long Jianhua took off his hat, sat in front of the brazier to warm himself up, and said helplessly:
"Otherwise, what else can we do? After all, they all belong to the folks in the village, so we can't just leave them alone, right?"

"Hey, take a rest first, I'll go to the garage to have a look." Zhang Hao turned around and left after speaking.

Jingwen Nanhu Community is just across from his house, not far from the village head, less than 300 meters away.

Residential gate guards are also under the control of the patrol team.

"Old Zhao, which garage is Uncle Fan in?"

"Captain, Chief Fan is in Building Seven."

Zhang Hao nodded, and threw a pack of cigarettes to the other party. Lao Zhao is not a local, so he did the hardest job. Fortunately, the salary is not bad, and with the subsidy from the village, he can basically achieve a monthly income of [-].

"Thank you Captain."

Old Zhao was overjoyed immediately.

It's still the captain who spends a lot of money, and other people, including Village Chief Fan, are considered good if they can occasionally pass a cigarette.

Zhang Hao waved his hand, and then came to the underground garage of the seventh building. The entrance was temporarily closed, leaving only one door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Old Zhang, it's you!"

The ones who opened the door were also members of the patrol team.

"Is Uncle Fan in there?"

As soon as Zhang Hao entered the door, he heard a dog barking.

"Inside, someone from the old Xu's family is sick, and the situation doesn't look very optimistic..."

"I just heard about it."

"Old Zhang, don't you think that Uncle Fan is acting nonsense? If you go out now, you are going to die. If you try to persuade Uncle Fan, he may be willing to listen to you."

Zhang Hao nodded: "I can persuade you, I will definitely persuade you."

Looking for the sound of the dog, he quickly found Uncle Fan.

"Uncle Fan, what are you doing all the time?"

"Old Zhang, it's just in time for you to come." Seeing Zhang Hao coming, Village Chief Fan immediately pointed to the dozen dogs in front of him and asked, "Which dog do you think is suitable for pulling sleds?"

"Sled dogs, of course."

Zhang Hao joked.

"I know sled dogs, what kind of dogs are they?"

"The Alaskan dog looks very similar to a husky. I can't tell the specifics. It would be great if the Internet is not disconnected. I can check it online."

"Is it okay to use other dogs?"

"Uncle Fan, I know you're always in a hurry, but don't mess around when you're in a hurry! As far as I know, generally sled dogs have to go through special training before they can work, and they can't be used just by pulling them up."

Zhang Hao took the opportunity to persuade.

ps: Let me talk about the update plan here. There will be a World Cup this month, two updates are guaranteed, and more updates will be made if time permits.After the World Cup, there are three shifts.
