Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 77 The Frozen World
Father Qiao said disapprovingly, "What are you talking about? You go and stay on the sidelines. Let your mother cry for a while. She feels uncomfortable. It's even worse if you hold back. Cry and cry. It will be fine after crying."

Qiao Mi pursed her lips slightly and nodded, "Okay, dad, take care of my mom."

Father Qiao waved his hand, "Yes, let's go."

Qiao Mi stepped out of the tent and saw Qin Zhiyuan talking to a soldier at the door. She walked over and heard the soldier say, "...the big dog is dead, Xiao Xu and Fengzi have brought them back."

Qiao Miwei didn't hear Qin Zhiyuan's reply for a long time. From the side, Qiao Miwei could only see Qin Zhiyuan's tightly clenched chin. He knew that he must be sad, and wanted to escape softly, when he heard Qin Zhiyuan's hoarse voice Said, "Send him back, the brothers must give him a ride."

Xiao Bing's eyes turned red, he blinked and agreed in a low voice, "Yes!"

Qiao Miwei watched Xiao Bing go away, and then turned her head to see Qin Zhiyuan staring at her. The pain in those eyes was so obvious, and the corners of his mouth were drawn into a line. At this moment, there was another shaking, Qin Zhiyuan He took a step forward to hold Qiao Miwei's arm, the shaking was not too big, and it didn't last for a long time. After a while, it stopped, but Qin Zhiyuan didn't let go. He looked up at Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan rubbed Qiao Miwei's sleeve with his thumb, and then slowly let go.

Qiao Mi felt a little uncomfortable, lowered her head and pulled off the skirt of her shirt, and heard Qin Zhiyuan whisper, "He and his grandma are the only ones left in the Big Dog family..."

After Qiao Miwei heard this, he didn't know how to answer this sentence, so he stood silently with him for a while, but within a few minutes, a soldier came to ask for instructions, and Qin Zhiyuan had to cheer up and continue to work.

The week-long rescue work has finally come to an end, because the village is small, the population is simple, and most of the people have gone to work in the village, the number of casualties is limited, but most of the houses in the village have suffered, after all, they are old Old houses, and Fangcheng is not an earthquake area from the mainland. There has never been an earthquake before, and people don't think of earthquake protection when they build houses.

Not only Wujia Village, but also the nearby villages that the troops went to rescue are in the same situation. In some villages, nine out of ten houses have collapsed, and people have to use things like bed sheets at home to build simple tents to live in. Although A week has passed since the earthquake, but aftershocks still occur from time to time.

It was also at this time that Qiao Miwei realized that those rumbling sounds during the earthquake were the ground collapsing, because half of the mountain behind her house had collapsed, and a gap more than two meters wide was opened beside the village entrance, so deep that the bottom could not be seen. There is also a hilltop that has been turned upside down. The trees on those hills have disappeared, and half of the hilltop has been cut off.

After the rescue work is over, there are two major tasks in front of people. One is to rebuild the houses, and the other is to reclaim the land. If you delay for such a long time and don’t reclaim the land, you will miss the time. Many people choose to collect grain first. She seemed much calmer. Qiao Miwei went home and inspected the house at home. She realized that the house had been reinforced by her, except that a warehouse in the backyard was collapsed by rolling stones from the mountain, and the glass on the roof was basically shattered. The gate collapsed, and the ground in the yard was broken, so there was no major damage.

It was also much easier to repair. Qin Zhiyuan also sent someone to help her build the courtyard wall, but at night, the bright sun in the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and then it rained heavily, but it was the terrible rainstorm in spring. In comparison, people are no longer surprised by such a heavy rain, but even a drizzle is unacceptable because the grain in the fields has not been confiscated!

Catch up with the heavy rain at the time of harvesting the land. This is something that all farmers don't want to see. After all, the crops will be ruined when the rain pours on them!Those who first built houses in the village also regretted it. They threw away their tools and rushed to the mountains to collect food. However, it started to rain the next day, and the temperature changed three times a day. Wearing winter clothes can resist the cold a little bit. When people wake up on the third morning, they find that the outside world has become a world of ice and snow. Ignoring the cold outside, I went up the mountain to collect the remaining food that was devastated by rain and snow. Even if the food that was not harvested quickly was recovered, it was damp because of the freezing, and now there is a layer of ice on the drying yard , It is impossible to dry it in the sun at all, and once the food is damp, it is basically inedible, which is a waste of a year's hard work.

After people rushed to harvest the food, the sleet stopped, but the temperature still did not rise, the ice on the ground did not melt, and the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate. Fortunately, people no longer need to cover their heads and faces against the sun after cloudy days up.

After so many disasters, people have vaguely realized that the weather will not get better, it will only get worse, so even if the weather is not suitable for building houses, people try every means to overcome the cold air and repair the house Come to think of it, the Qiao family's house was already solid, and there were not many places that needed to be repaired, so after half a month, everything was repaired, and they moved back from the army.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature, Qiao's family had been busy repairing the house before, and no one could be distracted from looking after other places, so after the house was repaired, they found that the vegetables in their home were frozen badly as soon as they moved back. Qiao Mi was slightly afraid of going straight into winter after freezing, so they didn't mind even if the vegetables were damaged by the freeze, and stored them carefully.

The corn harvested before was taken back and neatly placed in the warehouse, and the potatoes were piled up in the cellar, and all the unripe persimmons were picked off and put in the warehouse to wait for them to slowly turn red. It was also a good harvest and picked two bags. Mother Qiao cut half of them into strips and put them in the peach garden to dry at night, dried beans in half, cut Chinese cabbage and piled them in the backyard, and those parsley and spinach The dehydration should be dehydrated, and the pickled ones should be pickled. After the vegetables in the field are scoured, the sleet stops, and the sky officially falls with heavy snow.

Fortunately, the people in the village have become more crisis-conscious, and each of them tried their best to repair the houses when the heavy snow fell. Those who failed to repair the houses were also returned to the army camp by Qin Zhiyuan. Just because the people in the village were taken in, the pressure on the troops increased, and Qin Zhiyuan had no choice but to report to the higher authorities, asking for more supplies.

Sun Ying and Sun Ying also returned the house to the army and moved back to Qiao's house. Qin Zhiyuan helped to set up another house with a heating kang. Woke up, but the child who is usually not very talkative, this time he stopped talking at all, just sat in a daze every day, eating what he was given to eat, and playing with what he was given to play with, completely unaware that his grandma was gone, Qiao's mother couldn't help wiping away her tears a few times, saying that the child might be stupid.

Yu Yawen thought of her own child when she saw this child, so she told Qiao's father and mother that she would take the child over, and she would treat this child as her own child. Qiao's mother was very willing for her to think so. It would be happier to rely on it, and this poor child is also hurt by someone. Yu Yawen renamed the child Sun Tianyou, and hoped that God would bless him to grow up safely and healthily.

When sleeping at night, Qiao Miwei took his father and mother into Taoyuan to harvest the fields. The wheat in the field was ripe and golden, and the breeze blew through and made a rustling sound, forming waves of wheat waves, which looked very strange. The joy of harvest.

Although Qiao's father and mother also planted the land when they were young, they didn't know how to harvest the wheat. After thinking about it, the three of them simply cut off the ears of wheat, so each of them had a basket on their arm and a bag in the other hand. With scissors or a sickle, the heads of the ears of wheat will be cut off as soon as they walk through a piece. This job is relatively easy, and the three of them can also chat while working, and when a basket is full, the ears of wheat are poured into a big bag. , and then go back to continue cutting.

After working for four nights in a row, the ears of wheat were finally cut off. Mother Qiao and Qiao Miwei arranged a drying field next to the ground, and spread the ears of wheat on it to dry.

Father Qiao brought in the stone mill he picked up earlier and worked on it for several days, and finally repaired it. After the wheat is dried, it can be hulled and ground.

After being busy for several days, the wheat was finally harvested. The three of them took a good bath in the river and strolled around. It was cold outside, which formed a huge contrast with the temperature in Taoyuan. The whole family wanted to stay in the Here, Mother Qiao hasn't seen Dahei and Xiaohei for a long time. After spending a lot of time in the past, Father Qiao wandered to the edge of the fish pond, looked at the big fat fish inside, touched his belly, and called Qiao Miwei, "Wei Wei." Ah, let's catch a fish to-morrow and see how fat it is."

After hearing this, Mother Qiao followed, looked at the fish, and said twice, "It's really fat, but how do you take it out? Daying and the others can't doubt it?"

"This..." Father Qiao was stunned for a moment, yes, it's freezing outside at this time, where can I get fish.

Qiao Miwei thought for a while and said, "Mom and Dad, why don't you just take it out, brother, if they ask, just say that it was sent by Qin Zhiyuan. In fact, I think we will live together in the future. If you keep hiding it like this It’s really too troublesome, why don’t you test them and see if you can let them know about Taoyuan?”

Qiao's mother shook her head again and again, "Don't even think about it, don't you know how miraculous and memorable this kind of thing is, I'm not guilty of committing crimes! You still have to be careful."

Father Qiao also nodded, "Yes, Wei Wei, let's talk about this later, just like you said, the fish caught tomorrow will be given by Xiao Qin."

　After finishing the decoration of the unit and the decoration of the home, I walked the building materials market all day today, and my whole body hurts from exhaustion.
