Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

On the 100th day of extreme cold, everyone had a bowl of hot chicken vermicelli soup early in the morning. The messy firewood in the space needed to be taken out and dealt with. The whole branches needed to be cut into a certain length with an electric saw and then split and stacked to dry in the shade, otherwise there would be too much moisture and too much smoke when burning.

It was done on the second floor of the basement, and the children were able to learn how to chop wood and exercise their arm strength.

Dad Su was sawing wood, while Su Zhangming and Wang Jie watched the four children chopping wood to prevent them from getting hurt.

After a week, when the children became skilled at chopping wood by themselves, Wang Jie stopped watching them so closely.

That day, Su Yun and Wang Jie planned to take the two children to Wangjia Village to visit Xiao Jing, and leave them a few machetes for self-defense. Su Zhangming couldn't stay at home and wanted to go with them.

Just like the last time they went out, everyone carried their own backpack. Su Yun's backpack was especially big because it could serve as a cover in case he needed to take out a machete or a bow and arrow.

Su Zhangming and Wang Jie started the Huolala early and put anti-skid chains on the wheels.

At 8 o'clock, the car drove slowly along the village road. Because the road was icy, Su Zhangming didn't dare to drive too fast.

The only sound of the car wheels rolling over the snow was heard on the road, but some people who got up early to work noticed that the Su family went out again today.

Especially Pan Min's family, who failed to borrow a car last time. They said a few days ago that the car had no battery, but today the Su family drove out, obviously not wanting to lend it to them.

Pan Min's mother stood at the gate of the yard, watching the Su family's car passing by the door and waved to stop the car, but Su Zhangming was "fixedly" driving and "carefully" not "noticing" the people on the side of the road at all.

Seeing the car pass directly past her, Pan Min's mother angrily spat at the rear of the car, wishing that the Su family would encounter robbers or have a flat tire on the road.

Since the extreme cold, only two or three cars can drive out of the village every month. Along the way, there were a few people who wanted to stop a car and take a ride. But when they heard Su Zhangming say that the road only goes to Wangjia Village and they have to walk the rest of the way, one or two of them stopped asking for a ride.

It's not safe outside now. It's easy to be robbed if you walk alone on the street, so they don't want to take the risk.

Su Zhangming drove the car onto the provincial road smoothly. In addition to snowplows, he would occasionally encounter a few off-road vehicles on the road. Well, it seems that there is still no shortage of rich people around here.

A few people planned to go around the town and take a look at the situation.

After arriving at the town without any obstructions, Su Zhangming drove around the town twice and found that 2% of the people in the town had fled back to the countryside. Those who stayed behind were either government workers or outsiders who could not return home.

In many places, the snow was 4 meters deep and no one had cleaned it up. Some shorter houses were directly buried by the snow. The situation was even worse than that in Xinxu Village. A few people walked around the town hospital for a few times and then drove to Wangjia Village.

On the way, Su Yun quietly took out two bags of purple chocolate candies, a can of lard and three pounds of dried bamboo shoots from the trunk of the car. These were to improve Xiao Jing's diet.

Xiaojing is now seven months pregnant and has difficulty moving around. The town’s hospital has long been in a semi-paralyzed state, with only a few doctors on duty. It is unknown whether there will be anyone in the hospital when Xiaojing gives birth.

If there is no one in the hospital, you should look for an aunt who can deliver babies to help in advance. When the time comes, you can provide some food and daily necessities and I believe there will be someone willing to help.

Su Yun felt that Xiao Jing was both unfortunate and lucky. Unfortunately, the child was born during a natural disaster period, and she didn't know whether she could live a good life in the future. Fortunately, the child was born during this period of extreme cold, so at least she didn't have to take the child to avoid earthquakes and floods, and now she has stockpiled a lot of things that the child can use.

It's better than the previous life. I heard that the child died before he was one year old in the previous life. At that time, Su Yun was still looking for his child and family. His condition was very unstable. He only heard about Xiaojing's affairs from hearsay and didn't pay any attention to it anymore.

When Su Yun saw Xiao Jing and Aunt Wang, he told them what he had seen in the town.

The Wang family was worried at the moment. Wang Zhihui was the only child in the family, and everyone attached great importance to the baby in the belly. Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for a woman. Zhihui was already weak when she arrived in Beijing, and it was not known whether she could give birth smoothly.

The family felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their hearts. Su Yun took the two children to sit in Xiaojing's house for a while. The two children were very curious about the baby in Xiaojing's belly. They always reached out to touch it. They also took several photos and pulled Xiaojing to ask if it was a brother or a sister.

Uncle Wang used the candies he had saved in the bottom of his box to treat the two boys. The two boys took one symbolically and didn't take any more.

My grandfather said that as long as you are not hungry, you are not allowed to take other people’s things when you are outside, especially food. You can only take a little if your parents are around and allow it.

Su Yun gave Xiao Jing the dried bamboo shoots, purple candy and lard that he had prepared in the car. Wang Zhihui knew that these things could not be bought even if he had money now. All the edible things in the supermarket in the town were sold out, and it was estimated that they would be closed in a few days.

The money is useless now, all the money in the card has turned into a bunch of useless numbers.

Xiao Jing also asked Aunt Wang to pack up the vegetables and pickles given by her parents and give them to Su Yun to take back. Aunt Wang originally thought that the Qin family would give Su Yun a favor by giving him more than ten kilograms of cabbage. After all, vegetables and dried vegetables are very rare nowadays.

I didn't expect to be slapped in the face again this time. The pickles I gave were the dried mustard greens pickled by my in-laws, which were often used as a side dish for braised pork before the extreme cold. There was no moisture around the cabbage and it looked dry.

The lard and dried bamboo shoots given by Su Yun are rare and good things that can be preserved for a long time and eaten slowly.

Aunt Wang and her family felt that they had gotten a good deal, but they didn't have anything good to offer at home, so they gave Su Nian ten kilograms of rice and asked her to take it back, and also secretly gave the child a lot of fruit candies.

Su Yun has seen too many cases of gratitude and resentment. If two families want to maintain a healthy relationship, they must give and take. Maybe the gifts from both sides are not of equal value, but the sentiment is great.

Whether it is Xiaojing, her grandparents' house, or Alan's house, the saying that distance creates beauty has always been true from ancient times to the present.

In this life, Su Yun will never use material things to test people's hearts, he just wants to have a clear conscience.

If one day she finds out that the person she helped turned out to be an ungrateful person, it would be because of her poor vision.

After they drove away, Aunt Wang said to Xiaojing earnestly, "Wife, there are not many people who are truly kind to us nowadays. You should cherish them. Take Zhihui to visit more often in the future. If the Su family has any problems, we should help them if we can. Xiaojie has had a hard life since he was a child. His father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't love him. He is loyal and worthy of being a close friend to us."

Uncle Wang and Wang Zhijie nodded on the side. Xiaojing was happy and touched with her big belly.

There were no cars on the road, and there were two high walls of snow on both sides of the road. The visibility was very poor, and Su Zhangming could only drive at 30 mph at most.

Su Yun's right eyelid kept twitching. People say that if the left eyelid twitches, it means good luck, while if the right eyelid twitches, it means disaster. His palms were sweating for no apparent reason.

Before they could open their mouths to remind Su Zhangming, the car braked suddenly at the bend. They discovered a broken log across the middle of the road. It was clearly not there when they arrived, so it was obvious that someone had deliberately placed it on the road.

Su Yun's heart was filled with alarm, and he immediately pushed his two sons into the back seat and gestured to them to keep quiet. The two children nodded silently.

After Su Zhangming stepped on the emergency brake, he did not dare to open the door and get out of the car immediately, but was ready to reverse at any time. Wang Jie reached into the back seat and signaled Su Yun to take out his weapon.

Su Yun took out two machetes and several bottles of devil pepper spray from the cover of a large backpack, gave each child a bottle of spray and asked them to put on swimming goggles.

Anyone who goes out to rob in this kind of weather must be a gang. The longer Wang Jie and his gang stay in the car, the more torture it will be for the people outside. With the temperature at minus 50 degrees, every breath feels like an ice knife piercing the lungs.

Seeing that no one had gotten off the car, Wang Er could not help but make a gesture to his companions. Then he saw a dozen young men slowly gathered on both sides of the snow wall, holding weapons such as iron rods or kitchen knives in their hands.

It was the first time for Su Zhangming and Wang Jie to see such a scene. They couldn't help but feel nervous, and their hearts were beating in their throats.

Moreover, there were many of them and they had children in the car, so they were really at a disadvantage.

Su Yun, on the contrary, was not that nervous. In the early days of the natural disaster, everyone's fighting skills and cruelty were generally not high, and most of them were just pretenders. Before his rebirth, he had fought with others for food. Although he looked skinny, he had actually summed up some experience after many life-and-death struggles. In addition, he had not been idle in the past few months. Not only did he eat well, but he also followed his husband to do physical training. His physical condition was much better than before his rebirth.

Su Yun pretended to take out a medium-sized devil pepper spray from the back seat of the car and handed it to Wang Jie. Wang Jie understood and used the pepper spray to attack the group first, and then used the machete to see the effect.

Su Zhangming looked at Wang Er and others who were getting closer and closer, and saw his brother-in-law preparing the spray. He didn't understand what the two were up to.

Wang Er was knocking on the hood of the car with a steel pipe in his hand. "Everyone in the car, get off quickly. If you don't, I'll smash the car." Wang Er raised one foot and placed it on the hood of the car. He looked arrogant and seemed not to be messed with.

"When they get close to you in large numbers, reverse the car quickly." Wang Jie had already prepared the spray and instructed his brother-in-law.

Although Su Zhangming is a rough guy, he seldom fights. In the past, he relied on his many brothers to talk big most of the time. He nodded to show that he understood.

Seven or eight people surrounded the car, and two of them kept knocking on the glass door, trying to scare the people in the car.

Su Zhangming started the car and backed up, breaking the leg of the person at the rear of the car. Even Su Yun in the car could hear the man's screams clearly.

Wang Er and his men saw that Su Zhangming dared to hurt their people, and immediately started smashing the car windows with his men. Wang Jie had already opened the car window as big as his palm, and stretched out the sprayer to spray at the people approaching. Three people were sprayed directly in the eyes. Suddenly, the attack power of the devil pepper was higher than that of the person with a broken leg. Screams rang out one after another, and Su Zhangming also hurriedly put on his swimming goggles and sprayed the people approaching outside the car with the handheld spray.

Wang Er was far away at the front of the car, but he could also smell the spicy smell in the air. He immediately covered his mouth and nose and stepped back. Several people were already squatting on the ground and couldn't help coughing. Visible red pepper mist was spreading in the air.

Wang Jie and Su Zhangming got out of the car immediately with machetes and started hacking at anyone they saw. For a moment, the two of them were much more powerful. Wang Er rushed over with a sickle in hand, but before he got close, Wang Jie broke his arm with a one-meter-long machete. Wang Jie and Su Zhangming stood back to back, and seeing the two men holding one-meter-long machetes and the pepper spray on Wang Jie's back, few people dared to step forward.

Su Yun protected the two children in the car and locked the doors. The two children held pepper spray and stared at the situation outside the window.

There was one person outside the car with a broken leg, four people were burned by peppers, and three people were chopped by machetes. Now there were five people left surrounding Su Zhangming and his group. The weapons in their hands were not as powerful as the machetes of Su Zhangming and Wang Jie, so for a while they only dared to surround Su Zhangming and his group from a distance.

Wang Jie stepped forward and sprayed the men's heads with the nozzle. Seeing this, the five men quickly raised their arms to cover their mouths and noses. Su Zhangming swung the machete directly at the man. Due to his lack of experience and confidence, he gritted his teeth and injured the arms of two men.

Wang Er was also sprayed in the eyes by the pepper, and suddenly a burning pain spread throughout his brain. He waved the sickle on his body with his eyes closed like a mad dog. Although his movements were messy and disorganized, his momentum was quite intimidating.

Wang Jie was accidentally scratched on the thigh by his chaotic and indiscriminate attack. Although he was wearing thick pants, his skin was still scratched and blood kept oozing out.
