After the Earthquake of Rebirth

As time went by, the relocated survivors were no longer confined to the Lake of Tears, but began to spread out little by little.

Ning Qiyan said that there were several waves of people coming under their cave, but after seeing the enclosed area and their four young and strong men, especially those with gangster beards, they all left in the end.

Ning Qiyan and the others only brought half a box of mineral water with them when they came here, and it was used up soon. Their residence is nearly 10 minutes away from the water purification station set up by the government on the edge of Lake of Tears, so from the third day onwards, Every other day, Du Cheng and Hu Zi would carry four large buckets to the water purification station to fetch water, and it took an hour and a half to go back and forth.Counting washing and scrubbing, four buckets of water are enough for four people to use for two days.

This morning, Du Cheng and Hu Zi went down to fetch water, while Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen paved the ground with the gravel they picked up in the fenced yard as usual.There is no cement slab, and it is better to use only a layer of crushed stones than the dry soil layer to be blown by the wind.

Halfway through the shop, voices and footsteps could be heard vaguely. As the voices got closer, Ning Qiyan stood up and straightened his stiff waist, looking towards the mountain road.

After a while, I saw several young people walking up the stone steps.

The young man in the lead raised his head and met Ning Qiyan's gaze, he was stunned for a moment, then saw the wooden fence blocking the mountainside, blinked and stopped.

The other young people saw that he stopped and stopped talking, only to see Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen who also stood up.

The young man in the lead scratched his head, looked around again, turned his head and whispered to the others, and then the others also looked around and nodded to the young man.

Seeing that everyone was in the same opinion, the young man walked up to the fence and smiled at Ning Qiyan and the two of them.

"Brother, we plan to settle down here, won't it affect you?"

Ning Qiyan raised his eyebrows slightly. Before that, many people came here to look around, but this person was the first one to ask.

Calmly looked at the few young people not far away, although everyone's face was tired, but the clothes they carried were a little wrinkled, but they were clean and tidy. Coupled with the look in their eyes, it was no accident that they should be a group of students .

Ning Qiyan nodded, "No one lives here except us for the time being, there are many places below, you can do whatever you want."

The young man grinned, turned his head and made a V sign to his companion behind him.

Those young people immediately swept away their exhaustion, laughed excitedly, and then scattered in all directions energetically, presumably looking for a suitable position.

"Excuse me then. We will be neighbors from now on. My name is Wang Yang. I am a second-year clinical student at the University of Medical Sciences. We are a large number of people. Let us know if we have something to do. We will get along happily in the future." The young man named Wang Yang turned back and said.

Ning Qiyan also smiled, "I'm Ning Qiyan, I'm happy to get along."

Seeing Wang Yang stepping over to his companion after saying goodbye, throwing down the big bag on his back and joining in the search for a foothold, Ning Qiyan sighed inwardly.

With these few students as neighbors, the energy is boundless just by looking at it, and it will be lively in the future.

But from the beginning to the end, these young people did not get too close to their fence. Even Wang Yang, who came over, did not look into the yard too much except for talking. I think there should be no conflicts as neighbors.

"Really energetic." Ning Xiaowen came over, looked at the bouncing young people below, and sighed.

Ning Qiyan nodded in agreement.

Going up the mountain at this time should have come from the city last night.Having not slept all night, and then climbing the mountain road for more than an hour with big bags and small rolls on their backs, and still having the physical strength to fight, the energy is not ordinary, and even the two girls in the middle are not so tired.Compared with them, I was so tired and paralyzed from climbing the mountain, I was really old.

After listening to Ning Qiyan's words, Ning Xiaowen was speechless.

Among the four of them, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng are the youngest. He said that if he is older, what about himself and An Peng?old?

Before Ning Xiaowen could finish being depressed, the voice below suddenly became quieter. Looking down, it turned out that Du Cheng and Hu Zi had returned with buckets.

Du Cheng and Hu Zi glanced at the few people on the hillside, and then went up with the bucket.

It wasn't until watching the two of them walk into the yard and seeing Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen who were standing in the yard stepping forward to take the buckets, that the six students realized that they were their future neighbors, sweeping away the brief silence and noisy The voice came again.

Although the two men who came up later felt a bit unfriendly to strangers, and even the one with the scar on his face looked like a gangster, but after thinking about it, the two men in the yard who looked similar and had a gentle breath always Not like the bad guys, since they're together, there's nothing to worry about.

Du Cheng and Hu Zi never imagined that just because of their first impressions of Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen, they were directly classified by this group of students into the group of good people with "cold faces and warm hearts".

"What's going on with those below?" Carrying the bucket into the cave and walking back to the yard, Hu Zi took the towel from Ning Xiaowen's hand and wiped off his sweat, and asked.

"Medical students are our future neighbors." Ning Qiyan explained simply and clearly.

The hands that wiped the sweat paused, Beard put down the towel, walked to the fence and looked down, just in time to be seen by two young people who were talking. The two saw the four people by the fence, stretched their arms with a smile, and waved vigorously. wave.

Beard twitched the corners of his mouth. This was the first time he was greeted so enthusiastically by a stranger since he was released from prison.

Ning Xiaowen's impression of these young people is getting better and better.After all, it's really not easy to meet a few people who won't shy away because of the scars on their lover's face.

Although Du Cheng and Hu Zi didn't talk anymore, Ning Qiyan knew that they had initially recognized the young people below.

Students with high energy are better than neighbors who are prone to haggling or poking around.

It doesn't matter even if it's a little noisy, in this kind of world, it's okay to see them laughing and joking, and the mood will be good.

After lunch, the four of them sat in the yard for a short rest. Wang Yang, who had talked to Ning Qiyan before, came up with a young man wearing glasses.

Ning Qiyan saw the two standing by the fence a little awkwardly, and walked over with a smile.

"come in."

He took the two of them into the yard and sat on the flat stones specially reserved for stools.

"That..." Wang Yang scratched his head, looked at the four people who were staring at him and Ke Chengwei with interest, and grinned embarrassedly, "Do you have any tools? We found a good location and wanted to dig a cave, but we didn't." Tools, digging with bare hands is a bit difficult, so we want to borrow tools from you in exchange, and we will help you fetch water in the future."

Ning Qiyan twitched the corners of his mouth.

What is "digging with bare hands is a bit difficult"?Could it be that they really thought about digging with bare hands?

Seeing the different expressions of the four people, Wang Yang was even more embarrassed. He looked around and fixed his eyes on Du Cheng whose expression didn't change.

There is nothing wrong with borrowing tools.

Du Cheng nodded, "There are not many tools. We have to use them ourselves during the day, and we can only borrow them at night."

Wang Yang nodded quickly, and there is no problem at night, they have two solar flashlights, and they can start working at night.

Ning Qiyan and their cave are big enough for four people to live in. Now all they have to do is to go deeper and try to dig through the platform Ning Qiyan mentioned before. It was agreed to lend them two shovels every day at five o'clock in the afternoon.As for the saw blade for sawing wood, there was a spare one without a handle, so Ning Qiyan got up and found it, and gave it directly to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang and Ke Chengwei took the saw blade to thank and left.

After sitting for a while, Beard suddenly spoke.

"When I was fetching water today, I heard that half of the people in the city hadn't moved here. I'm afraid there will be more and more people here in a few days. Since we have nothing to do now, let's go down the mountain. It's best to give The cave has a gate."

Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng looked at each other and nodded.

They will live here for a long time. When there are too many people, with the empty entrance of the cave, if someone breaks in, there is nothing to stop them, so it is really not safe.

"Qiyan and I went down the mountain." Du Cheng said.

The three had no objection.

In terms of strength, Du Cheng and Huzi were better among the four, while Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen were negligible.If they act separately, one of Hu Zi and Du Cheng must stay on the mountain just in case.Moreover, Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan were familiar with D City, so it was most suitable for them to go down the mountain.

Whether it's early or late, after deciding, the four of them will start to figure out what they need to bring back.

Mainly the gate of the cave, if there is no ready-made one, iron railings will do.If there is no suitable tool, the fence of the viewing platform above can be removed.

Then there is to see if you can find some woodworking tools.There are many dead trees on the mountain, and they have accumulated a lot. If they have tools, they can build some shelves, tables and chairs by themselves, no matter how they look, as long as they can be used.

Ning Xiaowen wanted the two of them to see if they could go home and bring some beans.

When I came here before, I brought a lot of vegetables, but when I first moved here, there was a lot of miscellaneous work, and there was no land to grow vegetables. The four of us couldn't bear to eat only pickled vegetables for more than ten days.

There are no fresh vegetables at the redemption point. I originally wanted to wait for the Lake of Tears to settle down. There will always be a trading place similar to the trading street.When I moved here, I had too many things, so I didn't think about bringing some beans for emergency.But since I can go back to the city, it is more convenient to get some from home.

After roughly making the list, Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan went down the mountain with the gasoline they had used before when the hottest time passed.
