Doomsday Grain

The first thing He Yangxuan and Lin Qian did every morning was to put on their raincoats and go to the yard to chop up the ice and pour it out along the fence.

The weather was wet and slippery, and the two young men were not afraid of anything, except that their grandpa would lose his balance and fall in the yard. It was difficult to see a doctor at such a time.

The two got up early to work in the yard, and grandpa opened the door and yelled for dinner.

The two were tightly wrapped, with masks on their faces, looked at each other, and poured out all the ice cubes that had just been shaved into the box.

Then tidy up and go into the house.

The sweater I wore under my raincoat made me sweat a lot after working for a while.First wipe off the sweat with a towel and enter the house.

"It doesn't seem right today. I saw people from the health team came to our village again, and the crying outside became louder." Grandpa shared chopsticks with them, a little worried.

Lin Qian turned on his mobile phone, looked at the circle of friends of the villagers, and frowned: "This is to take away all the sick people, saying that they will go to the city for treatment, and if they can't be cured, they will be directly cremated and sent back with ashes. "

"Isn't there a way to find it now? Then if I pull away, I won't be able to see each other?" Grandpa sighed, and he didn't know how many people died.

"It will be fine in the next year." The plague will be completely stopped after the year, and those who survive may not be lucky, because they will have to face endless natural and man-made disasters.

"How do you know?" Grandpa actually asked casually.

Lin Qian's gaze paused, and He Yangxuan had already picked up the words: "I said it."

Grandpa glanced back and forth between the two of them, but didn't continue to ask.

A few days ago, the dead still insisted on funerals with great affection. Even if there was no trumpet player, they had to be sent to the mountain with a small speaker.As the temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days and the number of infected people has continued to increase, the government will collect them for cremation and send them back after they die.After the villagers received the urn, they either hurried to the ancestral grave to bury the person, or offered it at home first, and then made plans after the plague passed.

In fact, Lin Qian himself didn't know how many people died. Suddenly one day he opened the window, and the crying outside became less and more powerless.Looking at the whole village, I suddenly had the illusion of a dead village and an empty village.

The most desperate people may not be those who are in a coma waiting to die, but those who are trembling for fear that they will be infected.Watching others die, not sure if I will be the next one, this kind of desperate fear is the most fatal.

The first snow was sleet. At this time, there was already more than 60 centimeters of deep ice on the ground outside. It was unimaginable that there was only snow at this time.

Lin Qian sat on the sofa in the bedroom on the second floor, watching the snowflakes outside the window, his thoughts began to drift to his previous life.In his previous life, Lin Qian felt dizzy, because he heard some people's stimulation, and in order to prove that he didn't rely on connections to get to the top, he directly cut off all contact with He Yangxuan and went to another first-tier city to start from scratch.

Naturally, it was not so easy to enter the new environment. I worked overtime every day until midnight, and my schedule was extremely irregular. I didn't even recover when the plague broke out.By the time he realized it, the entire city had been banned from entering and leaving. In the city, he relied on the instant noodles hoarded at home in exchange for poor coal to survive the cold winter, and he could not return home for the next two years.

Until his death, Lin Qian had only two beliefs in his mind: one was to eat, anything was good, bark, grass roots, livestock feed, as long as it gave him a little strength to take two more steps, he could stuff it into his mouth.The other is to go home.

Now, he's hoarded enough food and seeds to grow indoors, with the only family and best friends around him.So what more could he ask for?

"What are you thinking about?" There was a voice in his ear suddenly, Lin Qian was startled, and turned his head to see that it was He Yangxuan.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't want to talk to you." He Yangxuan sat next to Lin Qian, holding hot tea in his hand. It's still morning, and this is the only time he can enjoy himself, "What are you thinking? You didn't even notice when I came in."

"I was thinking, what's the point of me all these years?" Lin Qian stood up and looked out the window. The snowflakes fell to the ground and turned into water and ice. Looking around, the familiar village has become a frozen world. "Back then, I I desperately wanted to get out of here, studying and working hard day and night. But in the end, this is my best refuge. I always feel that this disaster has made my past ten years meaningless. "

"Put the cart before the horse." This is He Yangxuan's evaluation, "When you left here, it was not only for the sake of success, but also to broaden your horizons, be sensible, and to change and shape your three views in a more three-dimensional way. Only when you have walked a lot and read more books can you climb high and look far. You think you have returned to the original point, but if you think about it in reverse, if you have never gone out from the beginning, when the end of the world comes, you will What is it like? Can you really sit here and mourn the spring and autumn? Not necessarily, I’m afraid I’m still living in that messy old house, looking at the little grain in the granary and the money in my hand and worrying.”

Lin Qian was stunned, then turned around and smiled, "I'm being hypocritical."

"It's not like that. It's hard not to think too much about this kind of environment. But there are gains and losses, and there will be some gains in any environment. For example, although I lost all sources of income, I gained something like you ...Tie buddy. Your thoughts are matched with my financial resources, so I don’t have to be afraid of any environment in the future. At the same time, I also avoided those nasty intrigues. I don’t need to plan and calculate. I just do some work every day. So relaxing."

"What was your original plan? I remember you went to Beijing and asked Shen Nancheng to come over to take over your class. Why did the mother agree with you to enter the Beijing headquarters? Isn't it like guarding you against thieves?" He Yangxuan said in his previous life Yes, but two years in my last life, and two months in this life, Lin Qian doesn't quite remember.

"In order to increase her son's reputation."

"The branch office is supported by you, so what's the matter with his son?" Lin Qian muttered, then suddenly opened his eyes and understood, "Get credit?"

"If it wasn't for my father's sudden death, Gao Huizhen would not have made such a bad plan. After all, she and my father are both shrewd and calculating people, so we have similar tastes." He Yangxuan smiled happily, "As soon as my father leaves, The company is in chaos, and there are many messes that have not been cleaned up. To that extent, Shen Nancheng is beyond his control. And when I entered the headquarters rashly, Gao Huizhen was afraid that I would steal her son's limelight. So I suggested that Shen Nancheng go to the branch office She agreed without hesitation."

Lin Qian took over the words: "In this case, your achievements in the branch office will fall on Shen Nancheng's shoulders. After all, your father managed it with care during his lifetime, and your reputation at the headquarters is not good. Wait like this After you get the head office up, you can think of a way to make you retire and let Shen Nancheng come back, then both of your efforts will be attributed to Shen Nancheng."

"Don't you know it clearly?" He Yangxuan said with a smile.

"Didn't you just remind me of this? Unfortunately, her calculations have been disrupted by the world." Lin Qian looked at He Yangxuan.

But He Yangxuan said: "Not necessarily, even if there is no end of the world, they still can't get a bargain. I didn't have the same knowledge as them before. It's because I still have a little illusion about the human heart. They never regard me as a human being, so why should I leave them a note?" live."

"Then how do you say they are doing now?" Lin Qian asked with a smile.

"If you haven't been infected with the plague, you should be quite comfortable now. The company won't collapse in such a short period of time. Although it has entered a period of loss, it is not difficult for them to use their shares to make some money. But as you said, this If you persist in this situation, you will not be able to survive in a long time."

What He Yangxuan said was not to curse them, but to analyze the facts.The mother and the son are both people who enjoy the big things, and they are not so easy to accept the deviation after the end of the world, and they are overconfident, and they don't believe that bad things will happen to them.

This can be seen from the fact that they bought He Yangxuan's shares without hesitation. Anyone who is far-sighted must think about the reason why He Yangxuan suddenly sold his shares. Is it possible that the company has really irreparable problems? , that's why it's so straightforward?

But Gao Huizhen's mother and son don't think so, they only think that He Yangxuan's father is secretly protecting their mother and son's wishes.The black heart plan back then was calculated jointly by He Yangxuan's father and Gao Huizhen's father. This Gao Huizhen has always been a little princess who has everything going well.

With such a heart, how can I make adequate preparations after the plague?I only use the money I get to make various investments in order to get back more money as soon as possible. I only think that there are business opportunities everywhere after a major plague, and I will not pave a way for myself.

This is where He Yangxuan's confidence in dealing with the mother and son lies.

"They should also bear their due retribution," Lin Qian said.

He Yangxuan raised his eyebrows: "How do you know it's retribution?"

"You had such a miserable life when you were a child. Without your stepmother blowing the wind in your father's ear, how could you be killed? Where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. It's not unreasonable." Lin Qian said.

"Not necessarily, after all, my father's heart is completely dark. The moment my father made a will and property to me before he died, he hated me. But my mother died suddenly, and she didn't have time to put her Give me the inheritance under my name. According to the legal inheritance, my father and I are half and half, and my half was embezzled by him in the name of guardian. And he still thinks that I have something If I refused to give anything more valuable, he tried every means to make me yield."

The more He Yangxuan talked, the more he wanted to laugh. When he was very young, he had great hopes for his father, but now looking back, every time he saw a greedy and ferocious face.

"Are you... Are you suspecting that your mother's death has something to do with them?" He Yangxuan rarely mentioned his family affairs to Lin Qian. Originally, Lin Qian was a relatively negative person, so He Yangxuan would not take the initiative to add trouble to Lin Qian.
