Chapter 168 Sea Level Drop

Qingtang Village.

According to the soldiers who first inspected the situation, there were 46 houses in the village, each with four to five bedrooms.

The officials arranged for them to share a room.

Zhuo An had greeted them in advance, and the soldier responsible for allocating houses did not allocate a stranger to their seven-person team. However, in order to avoid dissatisfaction among the others, the house arranged for them was located at the end of the village.

The end of the village is slightly remote.

The house they were assigned was located at the foot of a hillside and looked a little shabby compared to the other houses in the village.

Fortunately, the six houses located at the end of the village are not adjacent to each other. They are separated by a certain distance, which is more convenient for them.

"Squeak—"

The dilapidated courtyard door was pushed open.

The front yard covered with weeds and dirt came into their eyes. Chi Yue looked around and focused on the bungalow in front of her.

The bungalow is made of bricks and tiles, with large pieces of peeling wall exposing the yellow-brown bricks, and signs of soaking everywhere.

She walked straight to the door of the bungalow.

The wooden door was pushed open with bare hands, and the sunlight poured into the room, illuminating the filthy and messy living room.

"Yueyue." Wen Qizhou caught a glimpse of the dead mouse lying at the foot of the table and put down the baggage he was carrying: "Let's disinfect it first."

"it is good."

The smell that filled the surroundings was really unpleasant.

It had been too long since anyone had lived here, so there must be bacteria everywhere. Chi Yue took out disinfectant spray, masks and gloves and gave them to them. After wearing them, he went inside to disinfect them again.

The smell of disinfectant masks the odor.

After the smell dissipated, Chi Yue entered the four bedrooms, which were almost the same in size. She put away all the furniture in the bedrooms and put them in the backyard: "Keep these for firewood."

"Where's the living room furniture?"

"Leave it for now." She took out the broom, mop, rag and detergent, and then said, "It's too eye-catching to replace it with a new one."

Yao Chengwei: "Yes."

If someone comes to the door and sees brand new furniture in the living room, it is really difficult to explain.

They pick up cleaning tools and spend a lot of time carefully cleaning their future home from the inside out.

"Brother-in-law, there are two holes in the roof." Chi Yunyan accidentally caught a glimpse of the two holes in the roof of the kitchen and bedroom. He stuck his head out and asked, "Do you have tiles there?"

"Yes, you can get it from Yueyue."

Wen Qizhou took off his mask.

He scooped up a ladle of stream water from the empty space, washed the stains on his fingertips, and then walked to the backyard to watch him and Xie Changxiao climb up to the roof to repair two holes on the folding ladder.

After the cement had covered the gaps between the tiles to ensure that there would be no leakage in rainy days, they walked down the long ladder.

"Okay, let's go inside and take a rest." Zhao Peng and Yao Chengwei carried a pile of furniture cut into pieces and placed it beside the kitchen stove, and then walked into the living room with them to rest for a while.

Chi Yue went into the bedroom to put furniture.

She put double beds, coffee tables, sofas and wardrobes in the four bedrooms. As for the curtains and bedding, they hung and laid them themselves. Anyway, they were all included in the bags they brought.

"Vegetables can be grown in the yard." Chi Yue took out a kettle and seven glasses: "We will clear up the weeds later."

"Row."

Everyone cleared the weeds, carried their luggage and walked into the bedroom to clean it up briefly before going out to familiarize themselves with the environment.

There is a stream in Qingtang Village.

The water in the stream is not clear enough, and not a single fish or shrimp can be seen at the bottom, but it is enough to meet the daily water needs of residents.

"Sigh." Yao Chengwei stared at the gurgling stream in front of him and suddenly sighed: "I still don't feel at ease."

Xie Changxiao: "Same."

There were no disasters on the way to the west, but the uneasiness in their hearts became stronger.

"The altitude of Qingtang Village is high enough." Sun Rui pinched a leaf and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be flooded, right?"

"Who knows." It is not surprising that any phenomenon occurs in the disaster period. No one can accurately predict it, and no one can give a definite answer.

They can only improvise.

*
Not long after a group of residents settled in Yundian County, officials required villages under the jurisdiction of the township to start breeding and farming for all.

The task assigned to Qingtang Village is to plant wheat and vegetables. During the planting period, free supplies will be distributed to every household.

Includes rice noodles, vegetables and meat.

Chi Yue and the other villagers, who were in high spirits, took up hoes to reclaim wasteland, build greenhouses, and sow seeds.

After harvesting the first and second batches of wheat, the west was still calm. Not only were there no devastating natural disasters, but the rain that fell from time to time also brought a rare tenderness.

Being in a quiet and peaceful environment, most of the uneasiness they felt when they first came to Qingtang Village seemed to have dissipated.

"I heard the sea levels are falling again."

Xie Changxiao, who had returned from looking for information from the soldiers, walked into the living room in a few steps, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water.

They have been at home recently.

The third batch of wheat has just been sown, and the vegetables planted last week are not yet mature, so there is no need for them to go to the fields for the time being.

Therefore, as soon as I heard him talk about "the sea level is falling", I took my eyes away from the TV and turned to look at him.

Chi Yue: "How much has it dropped?"

"About five or six meters." He took the cigarette from Wen Qizhou and lit it: "Including the previous one, it's close to 20 meters."

"That's very good."

Fortunately, all the glaciers in Blue Star have not melted, and the rising water level can slowly drop over a certain period of time.

otherwise……

I'm afraid the rest of their lives will be miserable.

"Is the apocalypse coming to an end?" Chi Yunyan looked at the blue sky through the window: "There has been no movement recently."

"possible."

Wen Qizhou followed his line of sight and looked outside.

There has been no disaster in the year and a half since the wheat was sown.

After traveling for so long, it was the first time that they could live peacefully and peacefully in moderately warm weather.

"If the apocalypse ends, will we still stay in Qingtang Village?" Yao Chengwei did not use his crow's mouth. After all, he also hoped to escape from the frightening life.

Chi Yue: "What do you think?"

"I think the life of traveling around like before is not bad." Zhao Peng really enjoyed the time when he visited the magnificent mountains and rivers with them. It was much more interesting than now.

Sun Rui echoed: "Me too."

Having had an extremely free "adventure" experience, they could not be satisfied with the boring status quo.

Still yearning for the beauty of traveling abroad.

"It seems that a peaceful life is no longer suitable for us." Wen Qizhou did not miss the yearning between their eyebrows.

Of course, he also yearns for it.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the catkins in his palm.

He had too many regrets in his past and present lives, and he looked forward to leaving more profound memories with Chi Yue in a world riddled with holes.

Instead of guarding one-third of an acre of land, living a life where you can see the end at a glance and cannot be open and wanton and happy.

"Then we'll set off again after a while."

Chi Yue and him looked at each other and smiled.

To be on the safe side, it would be more convenient to wait until the sea level drops to a certain level before setting off.

"Okay." They began to look forward to it again.
