Song Yin in the last days

Chapter 17 Early Christmas Twilight

After a food distribution, within half a day, Xianyang basically returned to normal.

That afternoon, the government offices resumed operations, and the first thing Xianyang residents noticed was that the sanitation workers began to sweep the streets and remove garbage.The next day, the banks opened, and most businesses reopened, but the prices of all items in the stores increased a lot. Strangely, the increase in food was the smallest.

Still, the changes in the town are undeniable.

First of all, the sky has not been able to open.Before ten o'clock in the morning and after three o'clock in the afternoon, everything is pitch black. Between ten o'clock and three o'clock, it is slightly better than darkness. In the dark, ordinary people can see seven or eight meters away, and with the help of lights, they can see ten meters away. , Ten meters away is a gray area, even with street lights, only the outlines of a few tall buildings can be seen.As a result, street lamps have become permanent lamps, flashlights have become necessary for travel, and headlights have become the coolest and most fashionable equipment on the streets of Xianyang. The working hours have also been changed from ten to three o'clock.Working five hours a day, people with jobs expressed their displeasure: Now that schools are closed and factories are closed, most of the town’s population is idle, and food is distributed for free by the state. How can they be happy if they have to work?

In addition to shops and restaurants, employees of courier companies also have to go to work. All orders placed before the closure of the town are valid, but there is an extra link in the process: all couriers are collected by the disaster relief office, and courier companies need to go to Qilipo to pick up the goods.At the same time, the courier company also placed many government orders, delivering items from the disaster relief office to residents’ homes. For example, Song Yin’s medical glucose water was delivered by the courier company. It is said that the government pays by order, 5 yuan per order. good.

Another notable change is the addition of many uniformed personnel to the town.A well-informed source said that there were two full armed policemen marching into Xianyang, so now although the sky looks like it's not waking up, and there are dead and dark people everywhere, there is not even a petty theft in the town. Law and order couldn't be better.Then there are a lot of young people wearing blue one-piece clothes and yellow fluorescent shirt combination suits on the street. These big boys and girls are in groups of five or six, all wearing headlights and professional masks, and one of them is carrying an emergency light. Lighting, others put slogans on the wall, and sometimes distribute leaflets to passers-by, to cheer up the passing residents and popularize prevention knowledge: "Don't be afraid, everyone, as long as we do a good job of disinfection and prevention, we will definitely defeat the virus"...

The adaptability of human beings is astonishing. In just three days, Xianyang people have adapted to this kind of dark life, leaving behind the unknown virus and the sword of Damocles, eating, sleeping, and jumping. Those who dance in the square also go to the square to dance.The cleaning staff also worked hard, and the street quickly returned to the pre-disaster level, and because of the large increase in idlers, the number of people shopping in the old town even increased sharply.

Song Yin was also among the shopping crowd. He came here to sweep the goods for the sake of his son in his arms. No matter what happened, he didn't dare to place all his hopes on the government. He bought a lot of children's food, clothing, toys, and paper. Diapers, etc., big and small, thick and thin, all kinds, enough to last half a year.

After the mall resumed business, the prices have risen a bit, and there is no rush for goods before the flood. There are not many people who buy so many things at once like him. When paying, the cashier girl sweetly said that the mall can deliver the goods to the door.

Just after paying the payment, a media person popped up out of nowhere. Song Yin was taken aback by the microphone handed in front of him. When he saw the photographer's lens facing his son, he realized that it was probably this little thing who did it for him. causing trouble.

"Hi, hello baby." The female reporter turned to Song Yin after saying hello to the little friend, "I'm a reporter from the Sunshine Terrace. Excuse me, this handsome guy, can I ask you a few questions?"

Song Yin was very polite, but his attitude was very firm: "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, you can find someone else."

He, one, point, all, no, think, go online, TV, TV!

The reporter was dumbfounded. She probably rarely encountered this kind of situation in her limited career. Seeing Song Yin turn and leave, she hurriedly followed two steps: "How do you feel about your current life?"

Song Yin glanced at her, and the meaning was very clear: I said I would not accept interviews.

The female reporter still didn't give up: "Then do you have anything to say to the people of the whole country? Our program will be broadcast across the country."

"Like all Xianyang people, thank you very much for your help." Song Yin strode away while holding his son in his arms, leaving the female reporter with a ruthless back.

Isn't this too embarrassing? !

The female reporter stared angrily, the matter ended too quickly, and the people who watched the fun were limited to the customers queuing up next to the checkout, including two well-dressed young women, one of whom said: "Yu Qi, that person seems to be your classmate , the one we met last time?"

Yu Qi nodded.

"We should have gone to say hello just now. At this time, there are many friends and multiple paths."

"Do you think he looks like he knows more than one way?"

Yu Qi's mood faded.

On the other side, Xu Lingfeng looked at Song Yin and smiled. He came over as soon as the reporter showed up. He was planning to wait until the interview was over to show up again, but he didn't expect Song Yin to be so stubborn.Song Yin rarely looked around except when asking for directions or shopping, and he didn't see Xu Lingfeng until the little guy in his arms cried out "Yeah".

Xu Lingfeng stepped forward to pick up the little guy, and kissed his little cheek with a smile: "You little vixen, you're a prostitute at such a young age." He still likes the little guy when he's not crying or fussing.

Song Yin was not surprised to see him: "Has the car been repaired?"

"Not yet, besides changing the glass, I also want to refit and strengthen it, and pick up the car the day after tomorrow. Have you finished shopping?"

"Almost. How about you, do you need some more clothes?"

"For sure, it's only this cold in November, and I don't know how it will be in two months."

Song Yin stretched out her hands to hug the top, not intending to accompany someone to buy clothes at all.

Xu Lingfeng quit, hugging his head and refusing to let go: "Hey, hey, this is my godson, what do you want?"

Song Yin was speechless.

Xu Lingfeng chuckled: "It's boring to go shopping alone. You have Qi Xia at home, so you don't have to rush back. Just do a good deed that day."

Song Yin soon discovered that it is not easy to do good deeds every day. Without it, Xu Lingfeng is really a motherfucker. The color, style, fabric, and workmanship are not as good as you like... Please, this is a supermarket and a small shop. Supermarket in town!

After waiting for more than 40 minutes, he saw that Song Yin's face was getting greener and greener, and he looked like he was about to turn around and leave in the next second. Mr. Xu grabbed a bunch of things like a tornado and threw them into the cart, including two down jackets and three pairs of down pants. A pair of boots and shoes, a blanket, a eiderdown quilt, a lot of daily necessities, and even a small stroller, nicknamed "a gift for my godson", fully loaded with three small strollers. Song Yin felt that there was something wrong with this person.

After paying the bill, Song Yin only thought that he could go home, but Xu Lingfeng said: "Since there are merchants delivering goods, let's go out for a stroll and store more goods."

Song Yin looked at him.

"It's not that I've just withdrawn tens of thousands of dollars, so I don't feel comfortable if I don't spend them all. Alas, it's a pity that I can only withdraw [-] yuan today... Cough cough, I'm not..." Xu Lingfeng felt hairy when Song Yin stared at him, After looking around, he lowered his voice and explained, "I don't think the situation is right, and I want to make more preparations, so I can be prepared."

Song Yin frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xu Lingfeng finally became serious, and said in a low voice: "I always feel that this matter is not simple, especially the government's response."

"Oh?"

"The action is too fast and generous, it doesn't seem like a temporary idea, and those volunteers...it's surprising that so many volunteers have been organized so quickly. It's impossible for them to get the news in advance, right?"

"It's not completely impossible." Song Yin didn't think so, there are so many capable people in this world, didn't someone calculate "the sun and the moon have no light" that day?These people seldom get mixed up with the ZF, but it is not impossible to cooperate with the ZF when it comes to a critical moment.

"What do you mean, it's impossible for someone to pinch..."

At this time, the two came to the exit of the shopping mall and looked at the street outside. Xu Lingfeng opened his mouth wide in surprise and forgot what he said later.

It's snowing, the snow is still quite heavy, large flakes of snow are falling, snow has begun to appear on the roofs and street trees on both sides of the street, and the lights are particularly eye-catching.

This is a pedestrian street in the center of the town. The street is brightly lit. Pedestrians wearing thick winter clothes are laughing and talking in the light. There are even children cheering and rushing to the middle of the street to chase snowflakes. I don’t know which store is playing Christmas music...

A beautiful and peaceful street scene, a beautiful and peaceful Christmas evening, if one ignores the fact that this is a sunny day where it rarely snows once in three or five years, and now it is 12:30 noon on November [-]th... .

-

When returning home, Song Yin's car had two extra charcoal-burning stoves and half a car of charcoal. Xu Lingfeng sat in the passenger seat with his head in his arms to watch the snow scene. In just one hour, there was already a layer of snow on the road, because he was afraid of skidding , the cars were driving very slowly, and Ting Ding was not afraid of the cold. The noise didn't stop until Xu Lingfeng put down the window, and then he stared intently at the side of the road.

When the car drove into the new area, it had to pass through the villa area before arriving at their residential area. There was still a distance of five to sixty meters from the gate of the villa area. Xu Lingfeng suddenly asked, "Did you hear the sound? It seems that someone is shouting."

Song Yin nodded and frowned in surprise. Of course he heard it. The question is why Xu Lingfeng also heard it?

Two or three minutes later, when the car arrived outside the gate of the villa area, Xu Lingfeng yelled again: "Hurry up, hurry up, stop, there is a police car ahead."

Song Yin also saw the police car and quickly pulled over. No matter what the police car in front was doing, it would be very stupid to rush over at this time.

The police car is still 30 meters away. In today's Xianyang, with the help of car lights and street lights, the visibility in broad daylight is no more than ten meters. Even Song Yin can't see that far. He was able to spot the police car in time because of the police. The light keeps blinking.The cars behind were not as good-eyed as he was, and thought he slowed down suddenly, so they kept honking their horns.

Before their car stopped, they saw an ambulance slowly appearing at the gate of the villa area surrounded by a group of people. There were ten or twenty people in this group, all of whom were yelling and yelling. There were still people pushing hard, trying to prevent the ambulance from leaving, and seven or eight middle-aged and elderly women followed the car and grabbed two police officers...

No one honked their horns anymore, and all five cars in a row pulled over to the side of the road to watch the excitement.

At this time, crying and cursing were clearly audible.

"Don't take my son away..."

"My little grandson, he's only 5 years old, you don't let go of 5-year-old babies, it's unreasonable..."

"My old man is the pillar of our family, you arrested him, let our family drink the northwest wind..."

"I'm just such a daughter, why don't you let people live..."

"One catch is four, the elderly and children will not be spared, when our Zhou family is a bully..."

"Pity my daughter and son-in-law, please let our family go..."

……

It turned out that there were four infected people in one family, no wonder there was such a big battle.

This group of people was making a fuss, when I saw seven or eight people rushing to the street, this time they were all young and middle-aged, everyone was brandishing sticks, each one was full of murderous intent.The strong man in the lead had broad shoulders and a round waist, shouting while running, the standard gangster line: "You son of a bitch, you dare to move the Zhou family, see if I don't abandon you..."

then……

Then, there was no more, the sound stopped abruptly, the strong man staggered and fell to the ground, lying motionless in the middle of the road, the big stick in his hand fell off, rolled several times, landed on the side of the road, and did not move.

In an instant, the surrounding sounds disappeared, and only the howling of the cold wind was left in the world. Everyone, including Song Yin and Xu Lingfeng, were staring at this scene in a daze, their minds in chaos.I can't tell how long it took, 1 minute, a few seconds, or just a moment, and there was another "snap". This time everyone heard it clearly, a very clear gunshot.
