After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Chapter 20 Government Announcements

In the evening of this day, it was rare for Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen to go downstairs, so Du Cheng and Huzi naturally followed.

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature was still 31 degrees, but it was much better than the high temperature of 37 degrees at noon.

Beard and the others have been here for a week. In the past few days, the four of them have been sleeping during the day and active at night.As the temperature gets higher and higher, the hours of darkness gradually decrease.The sun didn't set until after nine o'clock in the evening, and it dawned at four o'clock in the morning.Even if there is no notice from the government, the citizens know that the situation on the entire planet has changed.

In the first two days, Du Cheng and Hu Zi still picked up supplies with bare hands. On the third night, Hu Zi saw a crane with half of its body overturned into the sewer. It took a whole night to get the car out with Du Cheng .The car still works, and the beard can drive.With the crane, many materials that were pressed down by the large stone slabs were turned out by the two.Afterwards, the two of them gained more, often in one night, the two of them would be able to drive back five or six trips in Ning Qiyan's car.

Huzi also joked that the most tiring thing is not collecting materials, but moving the collected things upstairs.

Even if Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen went downstairs to help, each of them had to climb up to the eleventh floor a dozen times a night with their luggage on their backs.

Naturally, their gains were also followed by people, but I don't know how Du Cheng and Huzi dealt with them. The people who watched them disappeared within three days.

Regarding their handling method, Du Cheng didn't say anything, and Ning Qiyan didn't ask either.

"There are so many people." Ning Qiyan looked at the crowded trading street and sighed.

Hu Zi looked in, then smiled and said, "There are not many shops selling things, almost all of them are shopping or hanging out."

Ning Qiyan shrugged and looked at Ning Xiaowen, "Are you still going in?"

Originally, it was a whim to go out for a walk, the weather was very hot, and seeing so many people, Ning Qiyan felt a little sick to his stomach when he thought of the smell of sweat emanating from the crowd.

Ning Xiaowen looked at Ning Qiyan, then at the crowded street, hesitant.

Looking at his expression, Ning Qiyan knew that he was really interested, shrugged, and took out four masks and a small box of essential oil from his trouser pocket.

Touch the balm under the nose, and then put on the mask, at least the nose will feel better.

"Let's go." Seeing that everyone was getting ready, Hu Zi walked in with Ning Xiaowen in his arms.

Whether intentionally or not, Du Cheng also embraced Ning Qiyan.

Ning Qiyan didn't make a sound, nor did he refuse.

But where Ning Qiyan didn't pay attention, Huzi turned his head and glanced at Du Cheng with a half-smile.

"Little hens that have just laid eggs, the number is limited, first come, first served!"

There was a shout in the distance.

"Hen?" Ning Xiaowen's eyes lit up, and he burrowed in while pulling his beard.

He used to raise chickens and ducks when he was at home, but later Huzi went to prison, and he was not well received in the village, so he stopped raising chickens after he went to work in the city.On the contrary, after coming to D City, he took over the quail from Ning Qiyan and started raising poultry again.

The quails at home were divided into two broods by him, and now they have started to lay eggs. Although there is no guarantee that every female quail will lay eggs every day, there are still seven or eight quail eggs a day.Even if the three little things from Ning Qiyan's family came to visit, it wouldn't matter.

It would be even better to have a few more laying hens.

"How do you sell this hen?" Ning Xiaowen squeezed to the front and took a closer look at the chickens in the cage. It was indeed a young hen that had just grown up. It was uncertain whether it had started laying eggs, but it was sure when it was raised. Can lay eggs.

"Fifty bottles of toilet water, one." The young chicken seller replied casually.

"Color dew?" Ning Xiaowen was taken aback.Didn't it mean that everyone uses food as money now?Why is toilet water still on here?

Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng, who squeezed in last, looked at each other without saying a word.

"Yes, it's toilet water. Now that summer is here, everyone has brought a lot of toilet water home, right?! This toilet water can't be eaten or drank. It's a good idea to exchange it for a hen that can only lay eggs!" The young man said with a smile.

"It's because you can't eat or drink, who would save so much toilet water?!" Someone in the crowd complained.Many people followed suit.It seems that there are quite a few people who want to buy chicken, but no one can afford fifty bottles of toilet water.

Ning Xiaowen stood up, didn't join those people, and got out again.

They found a corner with relatively few people, and the four of them stood still.

"There is a lot of toilet water at home, but should we buy it?" Ning Xiaowen looked at Ning Qiyan.Now the four of them get along very closely, apart from a wall, they are almost like a family.Hu Zi and Du Cheng were outside to collect supplies and get news, and things about family life, he felt that they could be compared with Ning Qiyan.

Ning Qiyan didn't know what Ning Xiaowen was thinking, but thought about the amount of toilet water that Du Cheng and the others intended to collect under his reminder, and nodded.

"If you want to raise them, you can just buy a few." In this way, they can eat eggs openly.

Ning Xiaowen was still a little hesitant, "The man asked for toilet water to change his name. Why do I think this toilet water is very useful?"

Ning Qiyan smiled and said: "Even if it's useful, it's enough for our house. Just like what the man said, this thing can't be eaten or drunk. There are several boxes at home, so let's leave it alone."

Ning Xiaowen nodded, "I don't know if there are roosters, if there are, they can hatch chicks."

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to squeeze in again.

Hu Zi grabbed him, "Determine the quantity, I'll talk about it." With Ning Xiaowen's small body, he squeezed back and forth and squeezed out again.

Ning Xiaowen pursed her lips: "If there is a rooster, one rooster and two hens, if not, then three hens."

Beard replied, and turned around.

The three of them waited for a few minutes before seeing him walking back.

"Okay, at eight o'clock in the evening, street crossing transaction, one rooster and two hens, 140 bottles of toilet water." Beard wiped his sweat and said.

Afterwards, the four of them continued to wander in, and unexpectedly encountered another family that had to exchange toilet water for things.

But the next four people didn't see anything they wanted to buy. After shopping around, they walked back.

Back home, sitting in Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng's bedroom.

"Pay attention when you go out in the past few days. There should be some news. If it's such a coincidence, the two families in a row need a lot of toilet water." Ning Qiyan took it from the small refrigerator that Du Cheng and Huzi brought back. Take out four bottles of drinks with ice balls and pass them to everyone.

"The function of toilet water is to prevent mosquito bites, so it's not going to be a mosquito disaster, right?!" Ning Xiaowen said uncertainly.

Ning Qiyan's mind was filled with mosquitoes like a plague of locusts, and goose bumps all over his body instantly.

Du Cheng patted him funny, interrupting his imagination.

"Could it be because he's afraid of spreading the plague?" Hu Zi guessed.

City D is now shrouded in a stench of corruption. The corpses buried in the previous earthquake have not been disposed of at all, and the weather is so hot that there may be a plague.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Hu Zi quickly changed his guess, "Didn't you hear that some troops went to Cangyun Mountain? Maybe it's because the temperature is rising, and the government decided to let everyone go to the mountain to escape the summer heat!"

Ning Qiyan sighed, and said slowly: "I think there are two possibilities. It's not yet the hottest month in July and August, and the daytime is 35 degrees, and I can't say how many degrees it will be when it is the hottest. Now the city There is no electricity in most places in the city, and only a few people can use solar generators to turn on air conditioners to cool off the heat. The government cannot just watch everyone die from heat. The easiest way is to go to the mountains to escape the heat. At the same time, it can also avoid the flood of dead bodies in the city caused the plague."

Unlike Huzi and Ning Xiaowen, Du Cheng already knew from Ning Qiyan's "prediction" that the government would lead everyone into the mountains in the near future, but they also felt that Ning Qiyan's statement was very likely.

Sure enough, three days later, on June 23, when Hu Zi and Du Cheng went downstairs to receive relief food, they brought back a notice together.

The first half of the announcement reads a notice issued by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, that the earth's orbit around the sun has deviated by a very small point, but it is this point that is easily overlooked, causing the climate change of the entire earth.

Summers will be hotter, winters will be colder, and the seasons will be longer.There is no way to predict the specific temperature, but the severe weather is doomed.

The second half is the announcement issued by the D city government.

The government has established a temporary settlement on Cangyun Mountain in the northeast of the city, and the settlement radiates outward from Laihu Lake in Cangyun Mountain.

The first batch of relocation began on the night of July [-]st, starting from the resettlement site in University City.Citizens within the specified age can ride the vehicles arranged by the government for free, and those with disabilities or pregnant women and other special groups can also apply for free rides after approval.Others either go there on their own, or pay [-] catties of grain per person for "car fare".

Those who go on their own are not limited to July [-]st, but before leaving, they need to register and receive a new "citizen ID card" of D city, and those who hold the new ID card can pass through the checkpoint outside Cangyun Mountain.

To put it bluntly, this is a disguised start to calm down the chaotic situation in the other three districts.

After the government withdraws from the city, the water supply of free water stations will definitely stop.If you don't want to die of heat and thirst, you will honestly return to the government's control. The previous riots can be ignored, but if you enter the government's territory and dare to make trouble again, I'm afraid it won't be as easy to fool as before.
