Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

I moved all the power supplies and supplies in the car home, a total of two moves.

After sorting out the daily necessities and snacks, Zhao Yeqing ate two sticks of ice cream without feeling distressed. She was reluctant to use the electricity in the power supply to freeze the ice cream. The refrigerator had limited capacity and she tried to pack as many necessities as possible. The sunshine in the mountains was not long, and the amount of electricity that could be stored every day was It is limited, and you may not be able to store one kilowatt hour of electricity throughout the day.

Her refrigerator is an old-fashioned refrigerator with Level 3 energy consumption, which uses one kilowatt hour of electricity a day.

The small freezer on the minivan has a small capacity, but it also consumes very little energy and can be used less than once every two days.

Zhao Yeqing divided the thawed meat into two halves, smeared one half with salt and marinated it to dry, and divided the other half into small portions according to the amount of each meal, and put it in a small freezer to freeze.

After disconnecting the neutral and live wires, she had already returned the junior high school physics to her teacher. This operation was so frightening that she finally connected the lights at home to the power supply. At least she didn't have to go to the toilet in the dark at night.

The dark blue solar panels are placed on the terrace on the second floor, which is the place where the sun gets the most sunlight every day. Tomorrow, we will leave them under the sun for a day and see how much electricity they can convert.

When she turned on the faucet, the water flow was very small. There had been an earthquake before, which caused all the water sources in a scenic spot with waterfalls to dry up. She guessed that this time the earthquake may have changed the water flow and cut off the water source. It is also possible that the water pipes were broken during the earthquake. .

Either way it's not good news.

After washing herself with water from the reservoir, Zhao Yeqing wrapped herself in a quilt and lay on the wooden bench in the living room with her survival bag at hand. She would be able to rush out immediately if there was an earthquake.

-

It was a quiet night, and I opened my eyes in the morning with the sound of crows.

Zhao Yeqing twisted his stiff neck and walked out of the door, feeding the chickens and geese that stretched their necks as usual.

The chickens and geese that were panicked yesterday had forgotten their memories after one night, and began to fly around her small vegetable garden in high spirits again, trying to fly in to eat something fresh.

Zhao Yeqing also didn't expect that one day he would be inspired by chickens and geese.

Life is always going to be rough.

After washing, Zhao Yeqing cleaned up the broken tiles in the yard. When building a house in the countryside, there will always be a lot of tiles left at home. There will always be times when they are needed, such as now.

Climb up to the roof with a ladder and cover the holes with new tiles.

He drove away a few fluttering things next to the vegetable garden and went in to check the seedling boxes. Most of the seedling boxes had sprouts sprouting. Zhao Yeqing watered both the vegetable garden and the seedlings in the seedling boxes. The seedlings in the seedling boxes It's still too young, and it should be ready for transplanting in another ten days or so.

The small vegetable garden I built before to eat organic vegetables is obviously no longer big enough for survival.

The space in the yard is too small, and a small vegetable garden is already the limit. Zhao Yeqing plans to plant as much vegetables as possible in the remaining space on the homestead outside.

I thought the rice at home was quite a lot when I bought it, but now I don’t know when the supply will be available, so it seems to be less.

Staple foods are indispensable, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the cellar also need to be taken out and planted.

When planning the homestead and fire break zone, it was estimated that there would be two houses with an area of ​​400 square meters and a fence behind them, leaving nearly 200 square meters left outside.

Although it was less than half an acre of land, it was enough to support her alone.

The land outside had to be plowed before planting, and the weeds had to be weeded before plowing. Zhao Yeqing was prepared for a long-term war of resistance.

When I went to the tool room to get a sickle, hoe and rake, I found that the tools were covered with white ash. After a closer look, I discovered that the wall in this area had some cracks during the earthquake.

After carefully checking around the house, there was also a slight crack in the outer wall. The crack in the building next door to Grandpa Mu's house was more serious, but it didn't look like it would collapse and affect this side.

Weeding more than 200 square meters is not something that can be done in one go. Use a sickle to cut off the taller grass first. The edges of the thin and sharp thatch blades have tiny saw teeth. Even if you wear gloves and cut for a long time, there will be some weeding. uncomfortable.

After mowing, we used rakes and hoes to dig out the grass roots from the ground. It was already three days after the entire land was weeded and cultivated.

Zhao Yeqing divided the land into areas: sweet potato area, leafy vegetable area, fruit vegetable area, climbing vegetable area and fruit area.

Stones and tile fragments are paved between various areas to facilitate walking.

Planting still requires a lot of water. There has been no water in the past few days, and the water in the reservoir is less than half. Zhao Yeqing plans to go to the mountains to check the water source.

The water pipe is an open pipe, and the white water pipe is placed on the ground and connected to the spring on the mountain.

At the spring is the observation tower where my grandfather used to go every day to guard the forest.

Firebreaks have also been dug along this route. Although it has been overgrown with weeds over the years, there is no fear of stepping on the ground when you step on it. It is also flat and is much easier to walk than climbing a mountain.

Less than a kilometer up the mountain, I saw the observation tower. It has stood there steadily for so many years. The earthquake did not seem to have caused any damage to it.

As I got closer, I found that the iron observation tower stairs were already covered in rust. It was fairly stable when I tried to step on them, but I guess they wouldn't last a few years.

The observation tower was not affected much, so the water supply should not be cut off.

Zhao Yeqing went to the spring and found that the water pipe had been displaced due to the earthquake, and the spring was blocked by broken branches, so there was no normal water supply.

She moved the branches away and reconnected the water pipe. The clear spring water flowed into the water pipe again. After observing for a while that the water flow was normal, she set her sights on the observation tower.

She wanted to risk going up to have a look. She had been up to this observation tower several times when she was a child. The 30-meter-high observation tower was built near the top of the mountain and could even see the town.

This is the only way she can currently observe information from the outside world.

She tentatively stepped on the stairs of the observation tower, taking every step very carefully. She didn't have to wait for rescue if she fell from such a height, and walked directly and peacefully.

There were two stairs where the edges began to fall off after she stepped on them. She took one more step up and reached the top of the tower in fear. Her clothes were soaked behind her back.

My eyes suddenly opened up, and everything I could see was unobstructed.

She now knows why no rescue has come to her in the past few days. Kong Sisi and Feng Chunyan can't contact her, so they will definitely send someone to rescue her. The official will not leave the surrounding villages alone, but there is no news after so many days. None, and I have never seen a rescue helicopter.

Why do officials use radio to spread information...

No matter how serious the disaster is, they would not take care of it. With the rescue speed of their country, even one citizen in a distant foreign country will be rescued.

Until she saw the scene in front of her, everything had the answer...

It turned out that the bottomless crack was not just one, but branches like spider webs opened into countless cracks. The town was vaguely divided into several pieces by the cracks, and the tallest building had disappeared.

It turns out that the ground as far as the eye can see is covered with black spider webs...
