Carrying the Bamboo Horse on the Thousand Miles Return from the Doomsday Natural Disaster

Hu Qian was stunned for a moment, but she took Hu Shen home from the hospital without saying anything. Back home, the two of them saw the fire pit built in the living room. After coming to their senses, a boy from the neighbor knocked on the door. Without saying a word, he helped them light the fire in the kang. And tell them how to maintain and keep the fire alive? In this way, the fire kang can be used. From his words, Hu Qian learned that Xu Lingfeng arranged for someone to help them repair the fire pit and connect the chimney. The current firewood was sent by Xu Lingfeng. The boy next door was also arranged by Xu Lingfeng.

Hu Qian felt warm after hearing this and felt that she could do it again. It turns out that Xu Lingfeng is so kind to herself! Unexpectedly, the boy poured a basin of cold water over him immediately: "Hu Qian, don't be too ignorant! Captain Hu Xu came to help you because he was afraid of problems in the base! Everyone in our single dormitory has been arrested. He reprimanded him again and again. Now every household must use the fire kang honestly, so don’t let Captain Hu and the others down!"

Only then did Hu Qian understand that Xu Lingfeng was not just kind to him, but that all the people who couldn't use the fire kang had received this help. She felt uncomfortable, but she had to learn how to use and maintain the fire kang from her neighbor's brother? It was impossible for her to experience the feeling of being sick again. This time I was lucky enough to meet them on patrol. Otherwise, he and his brother might freeze to death.

Qu Hai's carefulness was once again praised by the survivors in the base. After all, not all leaders can be so careful. Unlike the harmony that had stood together through thick and thin, turmoil broke out again in the vegetable base. The areas that had been divided before were changed again this time because of the cold. The rooms with hot pots were redistributed again, and the cold people had no idea not to snatch them!

People in the vegetable base sent another telegram to the northwest base requesting support. However, the northwest base said it had too much to take care of itself and said it would notify the Welfare Base. But the people at the vegetable base knew that the base was even more inaccessible than the northwest base. Thinking that Xu Lingfeng would come to help them was just wishful thinking.

Xu Lingfeng did not take the telegram from the northwest seriously, even though the heavy snow and light rain had stopped now. But the temperature shows no sign of rising. Zhao Da's father and Xu Yuanchao both believed that this was preparing for a bigger storm, and repeatedly emphasized that Xu Lingfeng should be fully prepared.

Xu Lingfeng asked the first and third battalion commanders to take their people out to chop firewood. I also asked Xu Shunyi to count the quantity of all the coal in the base. Fortunately, the coal mine brought back last time had enough coal. Guyu secretly released a lot of them again, and Xu Lingfeng asked Qu Hai to distribute them to the survivors in time. While preparing for a bigger snowstorm, he also told the northwest base and vegetable base about this guess. As for whether they believed it or not, he had no control over it.

Of course the northwest base believed it, and they hurriedly started preparations. People in the vegetable base are busy fighting for land and repairing their own walls. Fire pits are also arranged in every household, but the craftsmanship is not good and there are no materials. All fire pits are made of yellow mud with sand in it, which is not sticky at all. When the fire burns, they often collapse.

The vegetable base asked the northwest base for help, but they sent several tons of cement. Before they could be distributed, they were all snatched up by the survivors. Even if it’s a drop in the bucket, it’s still better than nothing, right?

The Wind and Rain Base also received help. They didn't have cement, so they went directly to the back mountain to dig a few carts of clay and placed it at the door of the vegetable base. No matter how they distributed it, he just hurried home!

Relying on these cement and clay, each fire pit built in the vegetable base can accommodate 278 people. Anyway, it’s very cold outside, but it’s still warm when so many people live together. Mainly because there is no coal, they rely entirely on wood for heating. The trees on the hill behind them were almost all cut down. All the platycodon seeds that were grown were eaten, and they could not be used as firewood.

Before the storm came, the northwest base sent several tons of food. They are all dark pancakes. What are they made of? No one said anything, and no one here asked? Anyway, it won’t kill anyone, but it will still make them full!

We have also made a lot of this stuff at the Welfare Base, which is all made of flour ground from various grains, plus a lot of platycodon from grains. For example, corn is ground directly into flour without threshing. The same goes for rice, and sorghum and other things are directly connected. Grind the powder directly with the pole. The main function is to feed animals. You can feed them directly by soaking them in hot water. It can also be regarded as a quick and convenient food developed for animals. Mainly, all kinds of animals can be eaten, even chickens, ducks and geese can be eaten directly, and they can also be thrown directly into the water to feed fish.

Vegetable bases only eat this when there is a food shortage, and the northwest base is also used to feed animals. But it's not particularly important. After all, this thing has a strong feeling of satiety. Eating this thing will make you full, which is much better than being hungry.

When the wind and snow came again, everyone was asleep as usual. The next morning the heavy snow outside seemed to be falling continuously. Except for those who have to go out, everyone else takes turns sleeping at home. The work in the grain planting park and the breeding farm began to take turns. Except for shoveling snow, all work outside the base stopped.

This time, Xu Lingfeng cleared the snow in the base in time and raised the shelter on the fence again. The heavy snow covered the roof and did not fall at all. The roof was designed with heating pipes installed to melt the snow when it falls. The base as a whole can maintain a temperature about 20 degrees lower than the outside. But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. This time it snowed heavily for half a month, and the temperature dropped to about minus 50 degrees.

Even the desert has turned into snowdrifts, and you will get snow blindness if you look directly at it. There is no snow on the ground at the Rain or Shine base, which ensures an icy-free trip. Plants in the growing area were not affected, nor were the breeding farms. Since there was no need to shovel the snow this time, everyone’s focus became repairing the pipes. The heated kang can only keep one room of a family warm, while central heating can not only keep every room warm, but also save energy.

The vegetable base sent another distress telegram, but this time even the northwest base ignored it. It's snowing heavily outside, and trucks can't drive out. There's no way to get out of the base. If you want to save the vegetable base, you have to fly a helicopter, and the northwest base doesn't have everything. There is really no way to replenish the aircraft's fuel no matter how much it is used.

Xu Lingfeng ignored it even more. Now that the base had central heating, he couldn't even leave the door. How could he let his men risk their lives to save other survivors?
