There are mainly two cross roads in Kaoshan Town, which intersect in the center of the town, one of which leads to the provincial road of Muyu Town, and the other road is the road Wen Zheng and the others took.

As the distance gets closer to the mountain town, there will be more vehicles and people on the road. You don't need to think about it, they are all here to buy things, and they are all their competitors.

The motorcade had just entered the town, and the road was still a bit slippery. People who were driving or walking were extra careful. Only people like Huang Yian who sat in the co-pilot had time to look around.

However, the weather is too cold and the car windows are closed tightly. I can see the erected signs, see those vehicles and people, but some things are easily overlooked.

The doors of the houses on both sides of the road were closed, and there were tall and large signs on the side of the road, telling those who were big enough to buy things to go to the vegetable market.

Huang Yi'an saw clearly the bold and enlarged instructions on the roadside, and sighed a few words: "The arrangement in the town is too fast this time. All kinds of supplies are concentrated in the vegetable market. It seems that we don't have to compete with others. It’s just a long queue.”

After speaking, Huang Yi'an looked at Wen Zheng, and was taken aback by Wen Zheng's expression, and asked cautiously, "Brother Wen Zheng, what's wrong with you?"

Wen Zheng's eyes were rather sharp, and he noticed some special circumstances from the corner of his eye. He was in a bad mood. He felt that Tuantuan rubbed against his face to comfort him, and sighed, "You only see the instructions on both sides. , didn't you see anything else?"

Huang Yian was taken aback, and simply opened the window to go outside. As soon as the window was opened, cold air entered the car.Huang Yi'an trembled, but insisted on observing carefully with his non-sighted eyes.

"Then...those doors..." Huang Yi'an couldn't even speak, and always felt a chill enter his heart from the outside, and his whole body was shivering.

Even though he couldn't believe it, Huang Yi'an kept lying on the window and looked out, and finally slumped on the seat, murmuring to himself weakly: "Why is this happening, isn't everything in our village all right?"

"The village is always different from the town."

The convoy arrived outside the vegetable market in Kaoshan Town. Under the command of the police, they parked the car at the arranged place.

The vegetable market is a rare open space with a roof in the town. The ground has been cleaned up, and all kinds of materials are placed together in different categories, with tall signs for people to see clearly.

From a distance, you can see the crowds swarming over there, just like the subway entrance during the rush hour, and there are several policemen nearby to maintain order, and you can even see the pistols on the waists of those policemen.

"That's a gun, right? This is the first time I've seen a real gun." Everyone got out of the car one after another, and a villager said.

"The police station in our town was originally short-staffed, but this time they were dispatched." Someone exclaimed.

"My daughter just married and came to the town. I want to go and see my daughter when I finish shopping later. I'll trouble you to wait for me." The villager who spoke had a kind smile on his face.

"Swallow lives on West Street, right? We don't have to wait in line for a long time before we can buy things. You might as well go there first, or you can stay with your daughter at night."

"Wait, don't you think it's wrong?"

The team leader who raised the question this time was also the son of the village chief, Huang Mingchang. He was a few years older than Wen Zheng. He was thirty this year and had a good reputation and prestige in the village.

"What's wrong there?" The rest of the villagers were puzzled.

"Those guns? The police at the police station are generally not equipped with guns. They are usually locked in the warehouse, and they will only be taken out when handling major cases. Aren't they watching us shopping now? Why did they take out the guns. "Huang Mingchang didn't understand.

"Which village are you from? Is this the first time you've come to the town after the snow stopped?" Someone next to him couldn't listen and suddenly interrupted.

"Brother, do you know what's going on?" Huang Mingchang looked at the speaking middle-aged man.

It has been three days since the heavy snow stopped. Although the sun appeared in the sky, the temperature has not risen, and the snow has not melted for a long time. Therefore, no one in Sanlihe Village has left the village. They are really sick this time. There were too many people, so the village head arranged the convoy.

The middle-aged man sighed: "You don't have any relatives in the town, so you didn't want to come and see?"

"Of course I have. My daughter lives in the town. I plan to visit her later." The villager who spoke just now said with a smile.

"I didn't come here when the snow stopped for a few days. Are you afraid that something will happen to your daughter?" The middle-aged man continued to ask, "Is there any shortage of things in your village? No one is sick and wants to come here to buy medicine and see a doctor?"

"We just came here to buy medicine. There is everything in the town. What can my daughter do if she stays in the town..." The villager was stunned suddenly, "What do you mean? What happened in the town..."

The middle-aged people pointed to both sides of the road. Some people saw something wrong, but some people had poor eyesight, so Huang Yian explained it to them.

All the doors were closed, and there were two big holes in the doors of many houses, which looked like they had been smashed, and the glass on the second floor was smashed.The green trees planted on the side of the road have all been cut down, leaving only stumps.

Wen Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw red marks on the ground under the door of a small supermarket, which looked like blood.

As the middle-aged man spoke, the faces of the villagers in Sanlihe Village became more and more ugly. They did not expect that the situation in the town was completely different from that in the village, and it was so serious.

After the power outage, they lost contact with the outside of the village, so the villagers in Sanlihe Village didn't know what happened in other places. This time, when they heard what happened in the town, they knew how big the gap was between the village and the town.

Everyone did not expect the heavy snowfall, but Sanlihe Village was reminded by Wen Zheng. Under the leadership of the village chief's family and Huang Sanshu's family, although the people in the village were dubious, they still prepared something more. arrive.

Although Wen Zheng did not remind other villages, the countryside is the same, there will be a shortage of everything, but there will be no shortage of food.After the harvest, every household in the village will not sell all the grain, but keep some to eat at home.Vegetables are grown in the field, and a lot of meat is bought for the Chinese New Year.

In the shopping lists made by the villagers of Sanlihe Village this time, Wen Zheng saw that none of them listed food and vegetables, which meant that there was no shortage of food.

But the town is different. Residents in the town buy small bags of rice noodles and keep them at home. If they don’t go out, they buy them soon.As a result, the relentless snowfall and unbearable low temperature made it more difficult for them to go out and buy things.

Also use the problem of low temperature.

Although gas is usually used for cooking in rural areas, almost every house has a ground pot or a coal stove. Especially during Chinese New Year, there are quite a few people who use the ground pot to steam buns. It's okay when it's over, neighbors who have a lot of reserves can borrow.

Most of the residents in the town use air conditioners or electric heating fans for heating, and there is very little coal at home, let alone dry firewood.

There are even some people who are used to air-conditioning at home and don’t even have a few sets of thick quilts at home. The sudden power failure caused a devastating blow.

One or two colds and a fever. I ran out of the medicines prepared at home and had to go out to buy medicines.

Kaoshan Town is not a big town, and there are not many policemen in the police station. At the beginning, they could drive around and patrol around.Later, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, and there was a problem with the electricity, and even the connection was a problem.

Indeed, considering the difficult situation of these residents, under the arrangement of the town leaders, people will come out to resume normal trade when the snow stops during the day.

During that period of time, it was still peaceful, and there was no problem. At most, when shopping, some conflicts would arise when some people scrambled for things.

It’s just that things sell less and less, so some people take the opportunity to raise prices. It’s difficult to walk on the road, and the snow stops for a short time. Some people would rather spend more money than have time to argue with the boss.

But some people are unwilling to buy at a high price, or they may have no money at all, or they may have had a grudge before.

As a result, a small supermarket that secretly raised prices was smashed at night, and the boss and his family who lived in the supermarket died in the store. They were found only in the daytime the next day. The gate was open, and the bodies of the boss and his family were almost frozen ice sculptures.

The police also waited for the snow to stop before rushing over, but the power outage meant that there were no cameras working, and the blizzard meant that after a few hours, the footprints left behind would be covered by snow without leaving any traces.

The crime happened at night, there was no light, and no one could be seen. It was only discovered during the day, and no one could be found at all.

This incident spread throughout the town along with the people who bought things, and the town became chaotic like this. The murder case did not happen again, but some people just took advantage of the night to smash the door and grab things.

The police also tried their best, endured the cold and patrolled everywhere at night, and finally caught one, but they didn't even run away, because they only caught him smashing the door to grab things, and didn't do anything to anyone.

This man was originally a gangster with no income in the town. He had no money to buy things, and his crimes were not serious enough. When he was arrested by the police, the police could never watch him starve to death or freeze to death.

I don't know what was the intention of the first one to kill someone, but the one who was caught behind him had the same motive as this little gangster. Even if there were police patrolling, he still made trouble. Some people even threw stones at him in broad daylight. The door is to enter the police station.

"Later, because of patrolling day and night, a police car got into a car accident. There is no big hospital in the town, only a few clinics. The two policemen in the car tried their best to send them to the big hospital after the snow stopped. I don't know what's going on now. The middle-aged man shook his head, "If the snow hadn't stopped within two days after the car accident, it's hard to say what the town is like now."

"My Yanzi runs a canteen in the town, no, no, I have to go and have a look." Yanzi's father hurriedly turned to get into the car.

Huang Mingchang hurriedly stopped him, let Yanzi's father sit in the co-pilot, and then found another villager who could drive to accompany him.

The rest of the people left looked at each other.

"What should we do now?" Someone asked, with a somewhat dazed tone.

Among the remaining villagers, although there are no particularly close relatives in the town, there are always people they know, and it is inevitable to be worried when they hear this.

"Now that the police have controlled it, let's buy all these things first, and then think about who lives in the town in our village. After shopping, we can discuss it after checking the time." Huang Mingchang said.

The middle-aged man had already finished shopping, and was waiting for his other companions to come back. Anyway, there was nothing to do, so he watched them speak again: "This kind of thing is not limited to the town, many villages have the scourge of stealing and robbing, you guys Which village? It’s very united.”

"Thank you, brother, for telling us this." Huang Mingchang thanked him while avoiding the question.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath: "It's not a rare news. The news has changed in the past two days. It's not easy for everyone. The elderly and children in our village are all sick, and many of them can't survive the snow."

Some of the villagers wanted to speak, but Huang Mingchang said first: "There are quite a few sick people in our village, and there is only a small clinic in the village. This time, in addition to buying medicine, we also need to buy some things for funerals."

"Be careful when you go back. It's not safe to go back these few days." The middle-aged man reminded again.

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me." Huang Mingchang was startled, and quickly thanked him, "Brother, let's go and line up first, and try to leave as early as possible at night."

Huang Mingchang turned around and gave the villagers winks, preventing them from having a chance to express their questions, and urging them to queue up to buy things.

After getting a little farther away from the middle-aged man, Huang Mingchang first said to Wen Zheng: "Wen Zheng, this time is really thanks to you."

As soon as the thank you sound came out, some villagers reacted a bit, and then Huang Mingchang said a little embarrassedly: "Then what...do you still accept students? I want to learn too."

Wen Zheng smiled, Huang Mingchang's brains turned very quickly, he didn't need to refuse this matter, it was just a matter of teaching a few more people, so he nodded: "Okay, let's wait until the snow melts."

The rest of the villagers looked at Huang Mingchang and then at Wen Zheng, but they were surrounded by people, so they couldn't just say that, they could only think about it in their hearts.

Huang Mingchang divided the villagers into groups to buy supplies, and reminded them to put their money away, regardless of the police watching around, if they really encountered a bold thief, it would be difficult to explain to the village if they lost their money.

Wen Zheng and Huang Yi'an are responsible for buying toilet paper. If you don't have this kind of stuff, you won't die, but your quality of life will gradually decline.

After finally getting to the front of the line and looking at the marked price, Huang Yian took a deep breath and said, "It's money grabbing."

The old man selling toilet paper didn't even raise his eyes, and said directly: "If you don't want to buy it, hurry up, don't get in the way of being bought."

The price of this thing is twice as high as before. Huang Yian originally wanted to bargain, but was blocked by the old man, and his face turned red with anger.

"The young man is not sensible, don't argue with him, just give me two boxes at this price." Wen Zheng said plainly, it is normal for things to increase in price after the snow disaster.

The old man cast a glance at Wen Zheng, took a look twice, took out two boxes from behind, and said, "Everyone knows that the world has changed, and young people should grow up."

After Huang Yi'an handed in the money, he followed Wen Zheng with a candle in his arms, feeling a little more depressed than usual.

Wen Zheng didn't care about him, he needed to adapt to the changes in the world by himself.

The other villagers came back after purchasing the supplies, with expressions of distress for money on their faces, but after seeing Wen Zheng, their eyes stayed on Wen Zheng.

When they met the eyes of Wen Zheng who raised his head, some people looked away uncomfortably, and some smiled at Wen Zheng honestly.

After queuing up for a while, they figured things out.Wen Zheng's usual behavior is unusual, and Wen Zheng reminded them to buy things in advance, so they can survive the snow disaster smoothly.

Thinking about illness again, there are many sick people in their village, but there are not many seriously ill people, all of which are controlled by Lao Zhang, the doctor in the clinic.

Thinking about it carefully, those children who followed Wen Zheng to stretch their arms and legs did not suffer from any serious illness this time. Some people in the village said a few years ago that after children followed Wen Zheng to jump up and down there, they ate a lot and slept soundly Yes, his face turned rosy.

I thought it was due to exercise before, but Wen Zheng is not an ordinary person, so the things he teaches must be unusual, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence.

Wen Zheng's image was different in their eyes.

When everyone has bought good things, most of the day will pass.

Huang Mingchang took the motorcade around the town and visited several Sanlihe families living in the town.Many people were sick, and there were also old people who died of cold.Nothing happened to the girl named Yanzi, so the villager went back with them.

Sanlihe Village is quite far from Kaoshan Town. The nearest village is across the Sanli River, and it is the poorest village in Kaoshan Town. Although I went out to buy things this time, compared with other villages, the purchases are really not that good. many.

Perhaps because of this, although the sky was already dark when we went back, the journey went smoothly without any special circumstances.

All kinds of materials purchased at high prices are piled up in the office of the village committee. The prices of these items are twice the usual price, which seems to be a uniform custom-made standard.

What happened in the town was told to the villagers. Although the villagers are worried about their relatives who live in other places these days, they have no way to contact them, and they are blocked by the snow. They can only comfort themselves that there is nothing wrong.

Now they are all in a hurry, those who are far away can't catch up, and those who are close can still go to see. The village chief didn't organize it, but some people paid attention to those cars.

Upon seeing this, the village chief stepped forward and said: "Everyone, don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it first, the snow has stopped now, and the power maintenance will be completed in the next few days. If you really can't wait, it is best for several people or several vehicles Car, be careful on the road."

After the materials were collected, many people discussed walking over or borrowing a car to have a look. However, in the early morning of the next day, before dawn, cheers suddenly sounded in the village, and soon bright lights came from the houses. Revealed, finally called.

After the power was restored, the communication returned to normal. Some people learned that their relatives and friends were safe, but there was also a lot of bad news.

There are also reports on disasters across the country and even the world. Officials try to release positive and exciting reports.

But there are always people who tell the truth. Even if it is controlled, some people still find real information on the Internet.

The south can still operate normally, sending various supplies to the north. The situation in the central part is not serious, but the northernmost part has almost become a cold hell.Those who left as soon as the snow fell partially survived, and those who never left stayed there forever.

Not only this country, but the whole world has encountered various disasters, and even two small countries declared their extinction.

No matter how much bad news there is, people always have to live on.

The temperature began to rise, and the snow on the road slowly melted. The villagers went out with shovels in their hands to shovel away the snow on the road.

The funeral is extremely simple. Sanlihe Village is still buried. Those who died in the whole village choose to hold it on the same day, and send those who have left to the mountain.

After everything is done, the temperature is still so cold that people wear down jackets. The snow on the road to be cleared has melted, and the snow in other places has not melted.

The parents are no longer so strict, just keep the children away from the Sanli River. The snow melts and the river water increases. Sanlihe Village does not have to worry so much in the upper reaches of the Sanli River, but the downstream villages are all worried.

The children ran out of the house to build a snowman and had a snowball fight. Cheers resounded throughout the village.The children didn't know the consequences of the snow disaster. Their laughter swept away the depression of these days and brought a little smile on the faces of the adults.

In the woods outside the house, Wen Zheng wore a warm Lei Feng hat on his head, and was embellishing the snowman's body with branches in his hand. Sometimes he would grab a handful of snow from the ground and fill it up if he was not satisfied.

Tuantuan was playing beside him with great interest, pecking at the sharp beak and carving shapes with his claws.

Putting two branches on both sides as hands, and wrapping a thick scarf around the snowman's neck, Wen Zheng was looking back and forth when he heard someone walking towards him again.

After a while, I saw those college students and high school students who were studying with Wen Zheng. Behind them were coals loaded in tricycles, and it was obvious at a glance that they went there to buy them.

"Brother Wen Zheng, shall we push these coals into the yard for you?" Huang Yi'an said.

Wen Zheng asked them to pile them into the boiler room, and continued to decorate the snowman.After these students came out, Wen Zheng wanted to give them coal money, but the students didn't want it. The coal they bought was for Wen Zheng's tuition.

"You bought the coal and sent it here so that I don't have to make a trip. This is your tuition fee." Wen Zheng was about to give them the money as he said that, but these people kept avoiding him.

"Come here, you brats, you're hiding so fast, let me see how you've been studying by yourself these days." Wen Zheng was delighted.

The faces of the young people who came over were all in a bad mood, and several of them took two steps back guiltily, regretting why they came here today.

The screams began to resound in the woods, and those who had fought against Wen Zheng were already lying on the snow-covered grass, and it was not their turn yet, just looking at them felt pain all over their bodies, and they didn't have the courage to run.

"Brother Wenzheng, why did you block this snowbird with a scarf? You made it according to Tuantuan's appearance." Huang Yi'an, as the teacher's closest senior brother, was the first to accept the teacher's instruction, sitting Resting on the grass, he couldn't control his hands and untied the scarf on the snowman.

I saw a wonderful ball made of snow resting on the snowman's shoulder.

"I said this strange snowman is definitely not the real strength of the teacher, this snowbird is simply too similar." Huang Yi'an praised.

Tuantuan shouted proudly.

Wen Zheng's face darkened: "Huang Yi'an, come here and do another round."

The rest of the students: Brother, your spirit of sacrificing yourself to save everyone will be remembered by us.
