The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

Yao Ziqing sent his eldest and second brothers to the train station, and saw that they had entered the station, so he went to buy what he wanted.There is a jewelry store opened by a minority of ethnic groups in the town, which is basically full of silver or hand-woven things.There was no one in the store, and Yao Ziqing could smell a sandalwood fragrance as soon as he entered.A wide variety of products are piled up on the display shelf. Yao Ziqing looked at the shelf and suddenly felt that he should order hundreds of them. Although he didn't need to look for the things in the space, he could take them out with just a thought, but tidy them up. It still feels better.

After looking around, I didn't see what I wanted, but saw a few daggers with strong craftsmanship.It was still a bit heavy to pick it up, and the scabbard was pulled out, and the dagger inside was obviously unopened.

A young girl in her twenties at the side saw a handsome guy coming in, her cheeks became dizzy, she stood aside and didn't bother him to look at things, just sneaked a glance from time to time.

Yao Ziqing actually doesn't like to be introduced by someone chattering around when shopping, so even if he gets a sneak peek, his first impression of this store is quite good.Pointing to a row of daggers hanging on the wall, he asked, "Are these all sterling silver? What's the price?"

The little girl shook her head hastily, as if she was slow to speak because she was afraid that this handsome guy might misunderstand, "Silver is soft and not suitable for making daggers. Generally, there are very few sterling silvers of this kind, unless it is specially made. Except for the handle, the dagger body is made of silver. It's cupronickel, the one you took is 790, the cheaper one is 290, or more than 500, more than 1000"

Yao Ziqing nodded, took out two more hands to look at, and suddenly asked, "Can you kill people?"

"Ah?" The little girl was stunned by Yao Ziqing's sudden question, she blinked her eyes and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing her reaction, Yao Ziqing pursed his lips and laughed.

This smile made the little girl blush again, she lowered her head and dared not look any more.Such a handsome guy with such a high face value, he can't see any flaws so close, and his body still has a faint fragrance, not like perfume, but more like the fragrance emanating from clothes.Now that the weather is hot, whoever walks two steps is covered in sweat.Some people don't know how strong the perfume smell is, it's mixed with the body odor, don't be too sour.But such a high-quality handsome guy must be famous, so he can only take advantage of the opportunity to seduce his eyes.

"Is there a sterling silver bottle? It doesn't need to be too big, a small one is enough, but if you want it to be completely sterling silver, you can also customize it"

The little girl smiled and said, "Yes, it's over there at the counter, I'll show it to you"

Soon the little girl took out several small bottles, all no bigger than a palm.Some bottlenecks are relatively long, and the bottle body is relatively deflated.Some bottles have two ears, and the bottle body is relatively round.After making sure that they were all made of pure silver, Yao Ziqing bought all the silver vases, and also selected several daggers that looked good, spending a total of more than 4000 yuan.Today, I saw a handsome guy with a good eye, and the little girl with a generous turnover commission sent away the 'big client' with a smile.

Yao Ziqing put the things in the back seat of the car, finished the silverware, and went to the antique market again.Although the town is small, it has everything you need.Porcelain vases are relatively simple, and buying a few large and small ones costs more than 100 yuan, which is very cheap.Looking for another shop that looked quite grand, Yao Ziqing took the 'upgraded' jade pendant in and asked someone to take a look at it.

An old man with silver hair, looking seriously with glasses, "The seeds are good, the water is abundant, it's just that the craftsmanship is a bit poor, it's a pity that it's a good material." After that, he took it to the sun for a closer look Look, nodding in satisfaction, "delicate and plump, although the floating green on it is light, but evenly distributed, the ice seed is close to the glass seed, this kind of good material has not been seen for many years, this material is very spiritual, if it is plated again, The price may be doubled”

Yao Ziqing didn't understand, and he didn't know what he meant by pan pan, "Old man, may I ask how much this jade pendant can sell for?"

The old man pondered for a while, "For this material alone, at least 500 million yuan is the starting point, but the craftsmanship is too bad, and this good material has been ruined forever. If someone doesn't mind buying it and re-carving it, it's okay, but the maximum is 400 million yuan. , What, do you want to sell it? Young man, if I’m really short of money, I won’t say much. Otherwise, it’s better to keep this thing well. There are too many adulterated products these days, and most of them on the market are glutinous bean seeds. Yes, those who say they are made of ice and glass can only be regarded as a side effect and coaxing laymen. Your kind is considered superior. If you are willing to spend a few dollars to find a master carver again, turn it over. several times is possible”

Yao Ziqing's hairs were blown when he heard it. Although he didn't know this business, the original value of this jade pendant was probably too expensive at 5 yuan, otherwise he wouldn't have kept it in the space without realizing it.It was mutated by the lotion, and it rose by two zeros, which is a terrible profit.

Yao Ziqing thought for a moment and said, "The old man was introduced by a good teacher? Money is not a problem."

The old man who said this was stunned for a moment. Generally speaking, those who come to hold things with their hands are either short of money and want to sell them cheaply, or they just bought them for appraisal.He usually doesn't appraise it for others. There are special appraisal equipment for this kind of thing, so that the small shop assistants in the store can handle it, and some people believe in those equipment more.But it's really rare to see this head of water, so I used it to help take a look when my hands were itchy.Seeing that the young man wanted to reprocess, the old man thought for a while, found a phone number, talked to it, hung up the phone quickly, and said to Yao Ziqing:

"This master has always carved by hand, and his craftsmanship is good, but he is very picky. He is not far away. Come and have a look later. If you think it is good, then accept it. If you don't like it, don't bother." Angry, that person has that temper"

Yao Ziqing nodded. These days, some craftsmen are not very good-tempered.

Soon, an old man with a big belly who looked about sixty came in, shaking a big fan.Without looking at Yao Ziqing, he sat down on the chair in front of the counter and said, "I'll take a look at the things."

The old man pushed the tray with the jade pendant padded with black flannel in front of the man, "No, it belongs to this little guy, take a look."

The man didn't take it directly, but adjusted the tray several different angles and looked at it carefully, then took the glove next to him, and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, "It's really a waste of things, what is this kind of thing?" Can it be pressed with a machine?" Turning to look at Yao Ziqing, "If this is processed, the head will shrink a lot"

Yao Ziqing knew that this person took the job, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, I want to give it to my grandma, so please sir, if you can, please carve one suitable for the elderly."

This jade pendant was originally a Buddha statue, and it only needed a little processing to remove those flaws.Although the saying of men wearing Guanyin and women wearing Buddhas is a superstition from a scientific point of view, some people believe in this superstition that has been handed down since ancient times.

The final processing fee is 15 yuan, and I will come back to get the finished product after half a month.

Yao Ziqing never planned to sell this jade pendant from the beginning to the end. It was worthless before, but now this jade pendant has been mixed with the lotion of Yuzhu, so how can it be sold casually.

Originally, Yao Ziqing was going to visit the warehouse, but the warehouse that his elder brother rented in the industrial park was not suitable. It was impossible for someone to sit at the gate of the industrial park to collect the parcels for him and put them in the warehouse. It was too strange.Finally, after walking around the town for a while, I didn't see any suitable places. Seeing that the lunch time was approaching, I simply turned the steering wheel and walked back.Passing by a well-known restaurant, Yao Ziqing went in and ordered a few dishes to take away. While the store was cooking, he stopped by the nearby supermarket to buy a lot of things.

The sun is bright at noon, and there are many free air conditioners in the supermarket. It seems that there are many people, but there are not many people shopping.Yao Ziqing bought some snacks. He and the third brother both like to watch movies or anime without doing anything, and then they can kill a lot of them without knowing it.The eldest brother always said that it was the bad habits of the third brother that brought him down. This kind of appearance of gnawing on things while watching cartoons is just like Nini of Uncle Chengji's family.

Nini is a seven-year-old girl.

I bought a cart full of things, nearly seven or eight big bags, and stuffed them all into the cart. The restaurant's dishes were also ready, and Yao Ziqing returned home in more than half an hour.As soon as I entered the house, I could smell the aroma of rice, and I thought it was made by grandma.He entered the kitchen and saw that it was Fang Jinlei.

Yao Ziqing smiled and said, "From now on, you might as well start firing at my house, anyway, you are alone, and it's only a few steps away."

Fang Jinlei smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."

When I was young, I often ate at Si'er's house. Since my mother passed away, the closest thing in my heart is Si'er's family.He can help cook when he comes over to build a fire, but Si'er doesn't like whole egg yolks, so he can look for recipes and make a few more tricks.

Yao Ziqing put the packed vegetables on the plate, "There are still a lot of things in the car, hurry up and bring them in, I bought a lot of food, let's go to your chicken coop in the afternoon, I haven't seen it yet, oh, I will have it in the afternoon No, I have to go out in the afternoon, I just came back when it was getting late, and there are still a lot of things I haven't bought yet."

"Next, in the afternoon, I have, I am free, what do you want, what do you want to buy, I, accompany, you"

Yao Ziqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, the air conditioner ordered by my elder brother has arrived, and I have to drag it back in the afternoon. I think I need to find a truck and buy a notebook. I will also go to the furniture store to look at the furniture. Some things seem to need to be ordered in advance. Go and see first, aren't you busy with the chicken coop this afternoon? Doesn't it matter if no one cares?"

Fang Jinlei nodded hastily, his chicken coop only has a thousand or so chickens, after he goes down, sprinkle good food and fill it with clean water, it will be fine for an afternoon."

Yao Ziqing chatted with him about other things, he didn't ask how to deal with that dog in the end, it's better not to know some things.After the rice was cooked, Fang Jinlei rewarmed the dishes he brought back

Grandma was eating, and she kept praising Fang Jinlei. After hearing Yao Ziqing say that they would have dinner together in the future, grandma readily agreed.Anyway, Fang Jinlei is alone, but it's just a matter of having more bowls and chopsticks.Not to mention that Fang Jinlei would come to help them do this and that whenever he was free, even Fang Jinlei was helping to take care of the corn fields now.What's more, if there is something to worry about, the eggs that Fang Jinlei brought are completely enough for food expenses.In the countryside, everyone farms their own land, and they don’t need money for vegetables and rice. In any case, their family took advantage of other people’s children.

Fang Jinlei washed the dishes after dinner, and grandma went to Aunt Xiuxiu's house with her 'career'.Their home is air-conditioned, and grandma is picking up shoes, Aunt Xiuxiu is doing embroidery, and other good friends in the village will also bring some snacks over, chatting and eating.It's also because Uncle Gao Ming and Aunt Xiuxiu are more magnanimous. If they changed to another house, the doors and windows would have been closed.Even if the air conditioner is turned on, the electricity bill is still so high, but why should it be enjoyed by others.

Because when the weather gets hot, the main room of their old house is relatively shady.Moreover, Lei Li wanted to wait for the new house to be installed before buying it all together, but he ended up buying it when the weather was unusually hot and there was no air conditioner, and it was out of stock.So Lei Li often sent things to Uncle Gao Ming's house, no matter how kind-hearted he was, he still had to keep in touch to maintain the relationship for a long time.

In the afternoon, Yao Ziqing and Fang Jinlei went to the city. It took about two hours to drive from their village to the city.With Fang Jinlei as a veteran, naturally Yao Ziqing would not be allowed to drive.Yao Ziqing squinted in the car, and arrived as soon as he opened his eyes.Stretched and patted Fang Jinlei on the shoulder

"Sure enough, the master is the master, the car is very stable"

Fang Jinlei just grinned and took out a black sun umbrella from the back seat. Even if the parking lot is not too far away from the shopping mall, it is still good to hold an umbrella if you have one.Girls who love beauty are not the only ones who wear umbrellas on the street. Almost everyone, regardless of gender, age or age, walks on the street with an umbrella.

Fang Jinlei is about 1.8 meters seven, about the same height as Lei Xiao.And Yao Ziqing rushed a little bit during the Chinese New Year, and finally broke through 1.8 meters, but it was barely [-]... A tall man with a hideous scar on his face, holding an umbrella, was walking on the road. On the big handsome guy next to him.Such a picture of love attracted some passers-by to look sideways.

Yao Ziqing originally wanted to say that he should stop shooting at a short distance, but the heat coming from the car and the relentless scorching sun, forget it, if you have never used a sun umbrella in your life, it is a new taste.

The weather at this time in the previous life was also very hot, but he was always in school, and basically didn't do much outdoor activities when the sun was shining.Their country is not bad. Although there are a large number of heat stroke patients in the hospital every day, the number of deaths probably does not exceed ten.In some tropical countries, the number of deaths due to hot weather is as high as hundreds.

Global warming has been talked about for many years. Even though the temperature rises a little every year, there are really few ordinary citizens who take this kind of thing as a worry.Most of them think that even if the warming is severe, by the time the world loses the balance of the four seasons, they will have been buried in the ground for hundreds of years, so why worry about things so far away.

In some countries, the number of deaths caused by heat is still rising, and the daily news broadcasts are full of research explanations about abnormal weather.That's why people have a sense of crisis and start to hoard more food consciously.The hot weather has led to a decline in grain harvests, further pushing up prices, and even vegetables are more expensive than meat.In some areas where water resources are not abundant, a bottle of mineral water can even be sold for ten yuan.And these are all following the trajectory of the previous life.

Yao Ziqing looked back and realized how stupid he was.I only know that I don't know anything outside the window to study and work.It was obvious that many things had been foreshadowed clearly enough, but he never paid attention to them.Turning to look at the people next to him, he said with emotion

"Going home is the right choice. Fortunately, you have also returned to the village. The weather will get worse and worse in the future. At least there is still a piece of land. It is better than the city people living in high-rise buildings."

Fang Jinlei nodded, "Well, come back, good to go home"

There are a lot of people in the mall, and they are all older people.In such a business place, knowing that they are only coming in to cool off, there is no way to drive them away.Looking at the overcrowded shopping mall, Yao Ziqing subconsciously took a small step back.

Fang Jinlei looked at him quickly, "What, what's wrong?"

“There are so many people”

Fang Jinlei thought for a while, and said, "Order, give me the order, give it to me, I'll go, pick it up"

Yao Ziqing shook his head, he was just shocked by the crowd.There were not many people on the street, not even many private cars except buses.When you come in and see the overcrowded shopping mall, you will inevitably be a little dumbfounded.

There are many people who come to get the air conditioner, and the queue is long.Although the air-conditioning in the shopping mall is not strong due to the large number of people, most people are still sweating profusely from the heat, but now no one complains about the long queue and the slow movements of the salespersons.

If you think it's too slow, just go, if you don't buy it, you will fall down, there are many people looking forward to it!

Fang Jinlei got a fan from somewhere, and fanned Yao Ziqing non-stop beside him.Although it was very hot, the heat was really good for Yao Ziqing, at least he was still dry.

"Should we find the delivery person? I think they paid the fee and took the order to the warehouse to pick up the goods directly?" Their family bought four air conditioners, all of which were cabinets.Fang Jinlei thought for a while, and asked Yao Ziqing to line up first, and he went to find the delivery master.

Yao Ziqing was chatting with the three in the dormitory with his mobile phone, when suddenly a strange woman came over to say hello to him.Seeing Yao Ziqing's blank eyes, Jiang Xinyi smiled indifferently, "I am Jiang Xinyi, and my aunt is Kong Jiaoqian. We met each other years ago."

After saying this, Yao Ziqing remembered who this person was, so he smiled slightly, "Coincidentally, you are also here to buy things?"

Kong Jiaoqian shook her head, "I'm working here, and you're here to get the air conditioner? Let me help you. Give me the deposit slip, and I'll go to the front to get the payment number for you."

"No, there are not many people left, and I have to wait for my friend to find the delivery man. Even if I paid the money first, I didn't send the air conditioner away. Thank you."

Seeing that he refused, Jiang Xinyi didn't say much. Seeing that he was not interested in talking, Jiang Xinyi chatted casually, excused that she still had work to do, and left first.After Jiang Xinyi left, the uncle who had been listening to their chatting sighed, "Young man, that girl is obviously interested in you, what a pretty girl, you are also handsome, you are so good at matching men and women, no I just rejected it after considering it, how sad the girl is."

Yao Ziqing was really speechless about this enthusiastic uncle. Someone used his privilege to let him jump in the queue.

Uncle Enthusiastic was obviously stunned, and looked at the young man for a long time, seeing that he didn't wear a ring on his hand, he shrugged and stopped talking.

Yao Ziqing had just handed over the money, and after taking the pick-up slip, Fang Jinlei came over with two young men. "I, former, same, colleague, today, rest, rest, come to help, help"

Yao Ziqing greeted them with a smile, "Thank you so much, it's such a hot day"

"It's okay, Lei Zi has helped us a lot in the past, isn't it just to move goods and deliver a car, it's simple, where are the things, is it settled? When are we leaving?"

I took them to the warehouse, and it was delayed for a while to pick up the goods. Fortunately, I finally moved the four air conditioners onto the truck smoothly.Fang Jinlei still remembered that Si'er said he wanted to buy a computer and look at furniture, so he gave them the address of the village.Yao Ziqing felt that it was not good for no one to follow him, not because he was afraid of losing his things, so he planned to go back with the car.

Fang Jinlei said it's okay, they often go to town, and the route is very familiar.Yao Ziqing didn't say anything more, just called the third brother to make sure that he could arrive home before the air conditioner was delivered, and then followed Fang Jinlei into the car to the computer city.

In order to shop online, he must buy a computer that is easy to operate.Originally planned to buy a desktop computer, Lei Lang said that the desktop computer is durable and more convenient for playing games.But Yao Ziqing knew that the computer could be used for at most two years, so there was no need to consider the issue of durability.The notebook can use a wireless network card, but their home has not yet connected the network cable, and it will not be able to be used temporarily after buying it.

The notebook was bought quickly, and I got it from a big brand, and I didn't bother to care about the price/performance ratio. In the end, I bought two DVD players in the computer city.There is diesel in the space, and we will get a diesel generator at that time, but I don’t know if these things can still be used even if there is electricity.But be prepared anyway, maybe it can be used.

On their way home, the originally smooth road suddenly became congested.Fang Jinlei didn't rush directly to the carriageway. Seeing the traffic jam on the road, he looked at the time, thought for a while and said, "Detour, detour, the time is, maybe, it will be a bit, late, late"

Yao Ziqing nodded, "Then let's take a detour. It suddenly becomes so congested. Something must have happened up ahead. Let's be late. I'll call third brother to see if he's home."

Knowing that the third brother has arrived home, I talked to him for a while and told him what I bought, and then I hung up the phone because the road was blocked and I had to take a detour or get home late.Fang Jinlei turned on the air conditioner at a moderate temperature and let Yao Zi sleep for a while.It takes at least three or even four hours to get home by detour, which is a bit long, so it's better to take a nap and get home when you wake up.

Yao Ziqing didn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply took out the computer, plugged in the network card and started tidying up the new computer.I casually chatted with Fang Jinlei about online shopping and wanting to rent a warehouse that is convenient for receiving goods. I didn't expect Fang Jinlei to have a good place.

"Aren't the towns full of small western-style buildings or high-rise buildings? I don't think the town is any different from the city now. The houses with front and back yards you mentioned shouldn't be in the suburbs, right? I need to find a courier to facilitate delivery "

"No, it's not the suburbs, the suburbs, very, square, convenient"

Seeing Fang Jinlei's promise, Yao Ziqing decided to ask Fang Jinlei to take him to see the place tomorrow. If there is no problem, he will rent it first and then go to the gatekeeper.I almost downloaded all the things that should be downloaded in the notebook, and went shopping on the online shopping website.When he got home, Yao Ziqing's shopping cart was already full of things, all kinds of food and things, and he just waited for the venue to be in place, and he made a one-time payment.Suddenly I understand the feeling of being unable to stop shopping online, it is really addictive!

Lei Lang, who was at home, received the air conditioner and gave the two drivers thick red envelopes, even if they are good acquaintances, they still have to give what should be given.Being able to come out to help on such a hot day is friendship, let alone being treated badly.Called two construction workers, first installed four air conditioners in the old house.The three sleeping rooms and the main room are all installed, and they will be dismantled and installed after moving to a new house.

After finally finishing the steaming of the rice, I took Si’er’s tablet and went online. As a result, there were constantly dialog messages popping up from the shopping website, and I silently watched a bunch of extra things pop up when I refreshed the shopping cart.

Fang Jinlei and Yao Ziqing didn't get home until around nine o'clock in the evening, so they called ahead of time, so Lei Lang cooked the food for them as soon as they arrived.Seeing the delicious food of the two, Lei Lang said with some fear, "Do you know what would happen if you didn't make a detour?"

Yao Ziqing glanced at Fang Jinlei and shook his head at Third Brother.He was shopping, he didn't pay attention to the current news, if anyone called him, he didn't know anything.

Lei Lang showed him the Weibo. There were pictures on the page of panicked crowds, damaged vehicles, blood all over the ground, and red and white banners.It turned out that the traffic jam on the road at that time was not caused by too many vehicles, but was blocked by demonstrations and refused to let go.Faced with the unusually hot weather and rising prices due to the weather, some radicals finally revolted violently.This is the first protest against the government in China in recent years.

They believe that the biggest cause of global warming and urban smog is industrial pollution, among which automobile exhaust is the most important.That's why there was a move to block the road and demonstrate.Later, before the armed police came to suppress, they had disputes with some car owners, so the incident escalated.From a demonstration to a gang fight until Yao Ziqing and the others returned home, the tragic event that caused serious injuries to more than 40 people and killed nine people has already made headlines on Weibo.

Yao Ziqing swiped and looked at Weibo, feeling really terrified.Before, he thought that there was a traffic accident ahead that caused the congestion. Hai thought to wait a while, and then go shopping in a nearby shopping mall. Maybe the road will be cleared again.I really didn't expect it to be such a serious matter.Moreover, such a serious matter has never happened in his previous life, or it may have happened, but he didn't pay much attention to the Internet, so he didn't know?

But this kind of demonstrations also caused casualties, which can be said to be quite a major event. Even if he doesn't hear anything outside the window, it is impossible for him to know nothing about it. Then what caused the change in this life?

Lei Lang was still sighing, "I thought this kind of demonstration was just a foreign patent. The demonstration in our country seems to have happened in the period of the Republic of China, or it happened in this city. Fortunately, you are smart and know that you are not stupid to wait when you come back from a long way. , otherwise I don’t know what will happen, I didn’t dare to let grandma know, if you hadn’t called back earlier and said that you would take a detour later, I would have been scared to death by you too.”

Fang Jinlei was also scared when he saw it. He just had a psychological shadow when he was stranded on the road in the heavy snow during the Chinese New Year.I would rather take a detour than passively wait for the road to recover. Unexpectedly, it was because of this that I escaped a catastrophe.

Lei Xiao only found out about it before he went to bed, thinking that Si'er was going to the city to get the air conditioner today, he was a little worried and called back.Yao Ziqing was surfing the Internet in a cool air-conditioned room after taking a shower.The third brother went to watch a movie on the tablet, and continued shopping with the notebook in his arms.

I told my second brother what happened in the afternoon, and I was still feeling, "Fortunately, I went with Fang Jinlei today, otherwise I would never have thought of a detour, and I would not take other roads except the main road. I just called my brother, brother It means that you will be delayed at school for a day tomorrow, and you will be back the day after tomorrow.”

After thinking about it, I couldn't help asking, "Second Brother, when are you coming back?"

I only sent my second brother to the train station tomorrow morning, but now in the empty room, I suddenly think about it

After Lei Xiao was silent for a moment, there was an imperceptible tenderness and firmness in his cold tone, "I'll be back soon, soon."
