The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

God seems to be constantly challenging people to accept new heights. On the fourth day of heavy rain, the entire village was cut off, which is better than the town, which has been without power for at least two days.

Lei Xiao moved out two generators from the cellar. Because the whole village was cut off, the wired broadband was unavailable. Fortunately, Yao Ziqing bought a wireless network card, so his laptop can access the Internet.There is no problem with the two generators for the electrical appliances at home.

Yao Ziqing had bought a lot of DVDs and a TV series with hundreds of episodes of foot wraps, and now he happened to show them to his grandma to pass the time.

Although the sky was dark during the day, it was still a little bright, but the wind and rain were too heavy, and the house with the doors and windows closed was still dark.After the electricity was cut off for those days before, many people in the village bought a lot of candles for spare at home, and now every household is lighting candles.

Yao Ziqing and his family closed the doors and windows, and when the generator turned on, the house was brightly lit.It was like the end of the day outside the house, but the house was peaceful and happy.

In this era full of Internet and electronics, everyone is playing with their mobile phones even if they are sitting face to face, and even talking seems a little impatient.It is really rare to be able to sit together in such a reunion.In the past, Si'er rarely came back once a year at school, and Lei Xiao often went on missions in the army, so he rarely had time at home.Lei Lang came back once a week, so there were only her and the eldest grandson in the house.

The eldest grandson didn't talk too much, so the room inevitably seemed dull.Although it was pouring rain outside, and they all sat and played with their own things, the old man was very happy and satisfied to be able to just sit in the same room.

Lei Lang lost a game again, which caused him to scold several times, "Is the cliff open, please! Si'er, you have good eyesight, come and help me find it."

Yao Ziqing was flipping through recipes with his tablet. He knew that the weather would not get warmer after the rain stopped, and it would be getting colder and colder. Taking advantage of the transition period, he made more food and put it in the space.Last night, he was discussing with his second brother how to disclose the matter of the space, but they hadn't agreed on a consensus yet, so they had to postpone it.

"Third brother, playing this kind of game too much hurts your eyes. If you can't afford it, you still have soaked soybeans at home. Go make soybean milk."

"Forget it, you can't finish drinking after beating, it's a waste, this rain is really useless, the sky is about to break, I read the news in the morning, and a dozen people died in Lane City, there is a family There was no food left, but the downstairs was so full that I wanted to go out with a swimming ring, so I wanted to climb to the balcony on the second floor from the window to see if there was food in other people's houses. I wanted to ask for some, but ended up with a hand. Slipped, lost grip, fell, hit his head, fell into the water and drowned"

Grandma hates this kind of accidental death the most. She died young at such a young age, which is really embarrassing. Otherwise, you will be trapped, and the world will become more and more difficult."

Yao Ziqing put down the tablet and went to grandma, holding the old man's hand and said, "Grandma, don't worry, the food we prepared is definitely enough to last for 100 years. I promise you won't be hungry. When the weather gets cooler, we can make some more durable food." Food, I want to eat grandma's beef jerky and pork shop, when the weather cools down and the rain stops, grandma can make it for me, teach me how to do it, and I will do it later!"

The old man smiled and pinched Yao Ziqing's nose and said, "You, you really turned into a little greedy cat. I haven't seen you grow a little meat. Okay, grandma will make it for you. You make a lot of it!"

"He just eats and doesn't last long"

Yao Ziqing immediately retorted, "Who says I haven't grown! My second brother said I've grown!"

Following Yao Ziqing's words, all the people in the room turned their heads to look at Lei Xiao in a tacit understanding. Lei Xiao just glanced at them calmly and stated in a calm tone.

"Weighed a few pounds"

Lei Lang said casually, "If you grow some more fat, you can sell it for a good price."

Yao Ziqing grabbed a pillow and threw it on him. Lei Lang grabbed the pillow and yelled at Xiao Wu, "Little Wu! Go! Bite him!"

When Xiao Wu heard someone calling his name, he quickly raised his forelegs, flicked his ears left and right, and looked for a while.Yao Ziqing waved at it, and Xiao Wu quickly jumped off its exclusive small sofa, ran over wagging his tail, and licked Yao Ziqing's hand with his tongue.

Yao Lang pointed at it and complained, "You class enemy!"

The two of them were making a fuss, and Lei Li said to Lei Xiao worriedly, "Our village is alright, what should those people in the city do? There will always be a time to finish eating, and judging from this situation, the price may have to rise several times, and I am even more afraid that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy things.”

Yao Ziqing, who was arguing with Lei Lang holding a pillow, turned his head and looked at his elder brother, "What can we do, let's make cold salad! When the weather clears, we'll go buy more things. The cellar is so big, and it hasn't been half stored yet, and in the future , and maybe the money is useful or not.”

"Money is useless, so it's possible to go back to the 80s and [-]s, relying on plans and food stamps?" Lei Lang pouted and said, "Isn't this going back and forth?"

Grandma slapped him funny, "Say it as if you came from those days"

"I haven't felt it, I've always heard it, isn't my second uncle the most fond of reminiscing about the past, and I have heard the cocoon for so many years since I was a child, now it's all right, don't rely on reminiscing about the past, just feel it again The difficult years of those years!"

A whole room of people was chatting and chatting with nothing to do, when there was a loud noise outside the house, the thunder seemed to split the sky.Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and bolts of lightning shuttled through the clouds, ready to fall, just looking at it, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.

You never know where the limit of the power of nature is. Looking at the vision in the sky, you always feel that maybe the earth will be split in half in the next second.It is daunting, unpredictable, really unpredictable.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao quickly cut off the power, and asked Lei Lang to turn off all the tablets and notebooks and remove the batteries.The slightest possible risk must be eliminated.

It was the first time Yao Ziqing saw this scene.In his last life, he was still at the school at this time and did not go home. The rain here at most only affected a few heavy rains over there, and did not cause a disaster.

He still remembered that his family called him during this time, knowing that there was no such a heavy rain over there, and he was not unable to go out and buy food, so he didn't say anything and asked him to take good care of himself. They all said it was ok, ok, let him not worry.

Then he really didn't worry about it.

Thinking about it now, their family was still an old house at that time, and they might have been even more frightened in the face of such bad weather.

Lei Xiao stroked Si'er's hair, reached out and closed the wooden window outside, and the room was completely dark.Lei Li lit the candles and put several on the tea table, Lei Lang curled up in a corner of the sofa with his pillow in his arms and sighed

"This day, when will it be a head? It's not as good as the sun. At least you can use your own air conditioner to generate electricity. You can't even use electrical appliances. It's terrible! It's really the end!"

Yao Ziqing also sat on the sofa, and Xiao Wu quickly leaned over, resting his head on Yao Ziqing's lap, and paddling the ground leisurely behind him with his tail.

Lei Xiao and Lei Li inspected everything inside and out, they didn't even miss the fire room at the back, they went back to the living room after seeing that it was closed.In just a few minutes, both of them were soaked through, and went upstairs to change their clothes.

Yao Ziqing bought a lot of summer clothes, including some underwear, which were bought on the basis of 360 and 50 days a year. Even if I lost two pieces a day, it would definitely be enough for [-] years.How precious is the water resource in the future, it will be used to wash clothes, and it will be struck by lightning!

Now the heavy rain is not stopping, and the clothes they hang on the balcony on the third floor are also very difficult to dry.I planned to build a greenhouse before, but after thinking about it, I still built a greenhouse.So no matter how heavy the rain, as long as the house can still live, they don't have to worry about not having vegetables to eat.

The heavy rain caused the house to become humid. Every day, Lei Li would dry grandma's quilt and everything else in the dryer. The elderly cannot sleep on things with heavy moisture, which is not good for their health.

But recently, I don't know what my grandma ate. Before, there was no variegated silver hair on her head, but now there are a few strands of black strands mixed in, and the roots of the hair are also black.

Lei Li guessed that this must be Lei Xiao or Yao Ziqing's secret, because not only grandma, but also him and Lei Lang had not obvious changes.It's just that Lei Lang didn't do farm work before, and now that he was asked to work in the field for a while, he felt that his strength and mental state had improved, which must be the effect of a lot of exercise, so he didn't think much about it.But since the younger brother didn't say anything, he didn't ask, there was no need to make it clear.

After changing clothes and getting off, Lei Xiao naturally sat next to Yao Ziqing.For the two who have been used to being sticky since childhood, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong.Yao Ziqing just glanced at them with a guilty conscience, and seeing that they were not paying attention, he slowly leaned on his second brother.

After Xiao Wu raised his eyelids and took a look, he continued to close his eyes and sweep the tail.

Lei Lang stared at the candle for a long time, his eyes were dazzled, he was bored, and suggested, "Grandma, tell a ghost story, isn't there a lot of supernatural events in the village? I remember which village used to have a ghost story." Psychics, there must be many ghost stories to tell, and the right time, place and people are right now, so I really feel it!"

Outside the house, there was a violent storm, lightning and thunder, and there were dense dark clouds rolling in the darkness.The room was pitch black, and the light spread around the coffee table. It just shone on the sofa, and there was darkness behind it.The family gathered around the light source and told ghost stories about Devil May Cry in the dark, which was really full of atmosphere.

"Then, your great-grandmother dragged your grandfather into the house directly, and your grandpa was still shouting, Mom, that man is stealing water from our village, don't you care? Your great-grandmother dragged him to walk faster I hurried home without looking back and closed the doors and windows tightly.”

"And then? That person fell into the well and drowned?" Lei Lang asked impatiently.

Yao Ziqing huddled next to his second brother, squatting next to a deep well on a rainy day, just thinking about it, this scene is creepy, okay?

Lei Xiao looked down at him, saw that he was afraid, and stared at grandma waiting for the next sentence with bright eyes, thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and patted his back.

"Then a gust of evil wind blew down the big Chinese locust tree that had been dead for many years, and hit the top of the well. The surrounding stone platforms were smashed and fell into the well. Naturally, it had to be fished and repaired. Ah, it turned out that the first thing to be picked up from the well was not gravel, but some white bones"

Lei Lang leaned back, goosebumps all over his body, and hugged the pillow even tighter, "So, grandpa saw that the person squatting by the well was not a human being? That's why grandma dragged grandpa home? "

Yao Ziqing continued to shrink towards Lei Xiao, Lei Xiao was already squeezed by him and couldn't move.

At this moment, a thunderstorm fell along the scene.The lightning instantly illuminated the house through the gap of the window, and the white light flashed by, Lei Lang couldn't help but let out a cry.

Yao Ziqing was so frightened by Lei Lang that he also yelled.

Lei Li collapsed on the sofa and couldn't breathe from laughing. He was not scared to death by grandma's ghost story, but by the screams of the two of them.

Yao Ziqing beat Lei Lang violently with a pillow, "What are you screaming! You scared me to death! You are too cowardly! You don't have the guts to listen to ghost stories!"

"Damn it! The thunder and lightning came at the right time! I was so scared! Is grandma still there?"

"Don't want it! What time is it, let's cook!"

"03:30, it's still early, grandma continues"

Yao Ziqing didn't dare to listen to it anymore. He wasn't afraid of ghost stories. What he was afraid of was that it was a real thing. The well still existed, but it was deserted, the inside was dry, and the surrounding area was covered with weeds. This story is even more infiltrating

"Listen to yourself, second brother, let's go up and take a nap, shall we?"

Lei Xiao nodded, got up from the sofa, put one hand on the back of Yao Ziqing's head, and walked towards the room.

Lei Lang yelled from behind, "Just leave like this? Don't! Come and listen to the story, I think I can sleep at night!!"

Yao Ziqing threw himself on the bed and stretched comfortably, "I'm exhausted, second brother, come quickly." He patted the empty space beside him, "I feel that the elemental energy in the air has become very strong, hurry up, I want to absorb it, second brother Come here, let's go together"

It is comfortable and at ease to lie down next to the second brother and settle down.Lei Xiao lay down obediently, and soon Yao Ziqing fell asleep in his arms.

The elemental energy in the air is indeed much richer, and he doesn't even need to use his mental power to sense it deliberately. He can see the white threads wrapped around it just visible to the naked eye, and he can inhale it into his body by stretching out his fingers.

It's a pity that he can see it, but the second brother can't, let alone other people.

Yao Ziqing couldn't see it after he fell into meditation, and the white lines that were originally ethereal and floating poured into his body. Although Lei Xiao, who was sleeping next to him, couldn't see it with the naked eye, he felt very keenly that a wave of energy was slowly condensing around him. , He also closed his eyes to feel this energy quietly.

Yao Ziqing, who insisted on absorbing elemental energy all the time every day, thought that the space was just like this, but the daily elemental energy guaranteed the pickup of ectoplasmic fluid.Because he feels that no matter how much he absorbs, his body has reached a limit point and he cannot absorb more.

But as soon as he got into samadhi, Yao Ziqing discovered that it wasn't that he couldn't absorb more, but that he had already reached a critical point. It was just that the accumulation of elemental energy was not enough to allow him to break through this critical point.Today's sudden strong elemental energy just broke through his last bottleneck, and easily broke through that barrier and reached a new height.

A steady stream of energy was absorbed, circulated back and forth in his body, and then slowly condensed to the dantian three inches below the navel.I have heard of this place a long time ago, but I have never felt it. This is the first time I feel the existence of this place so clearly.

I can also clearly 'see' a white ball of air rolling in the dantian, and the energy that has circulated in the body melts into this ball of air, and then grows slowly.
