Doomsday foresight

Several firewood stacks and two houses in the village were burned. The wind is not strong at this time, but be careful not to burn the sparks to other places.Fortunately, the snow fell heavily, and a lot of snow piled up on the firewood stacks on the roof, which reduced the possibility of fire.But people dare not take it lightly, those who are close will pour water and snow on their houses.

Because there is a lot of snow, the villagers will clear the snow in front of their houses after the heavy snow, and then put it on the edge of the fence, so the fire is much easier. Just throw the snow into the fire with a shovel, and soon several fires are extinguished. up.But the matter is not over yet, although the fire in the house is extinguished.The firewood pile was still smoking, and we couldn’t leave people all night, lest the wind blow again, and there were still stones and soil on the east mountain falling down. Because of the strong shock wave, the top of the mountain burned like a volcanic eruption Suddenly, the trees on the mountain were also burning, but it was much better than the fire shining in the sky behind Dongshan.

"All the men in the village went to Dongshan to dig the isolation zone." The sixth uncle came back from Dongshan and panted to the villagers.

"The entire Dongshan Mountain is burned, and the trees don't know how long it will burn. Our side is still dangerous."

Jinxi went to Dongshan with Jiang Chen. Because the entire mountain top was hit by a fireball, a lot of earth and rocks fell down, and now a new mountain was formed, and many of the original trees fell down.The fire on the mountain was fierce, because it burned from the top down, and the speed was slower, but no matter what they did, the fire would really spread to the village.

At this time, there was no distinction between men and women in the village. The sixth uncle asked the people in the village to gather together. The old people who couldn't move looked at the children under the age of 12 and gathered them in the brigade headquarters, and the rest of them all went to Dongshan.

The mountain slid down and overwhelmed many trees to cover them, which was also beneficial for them to divide the isolation zone. It happened that there was a deep ditch at the foot of the mountain. Although it was buried at this time, it was still a trench. Here is the last isolation zone. People This place was dug up, and a half circle around the foot of the mountain was made. Apart from the digging, some people cut down the trees in the isolation zone to reduce the amount of fuel burned as much as possible.

The fire finally burned down, and the isolation belt worked, and it did not spread to the village.Just looking at the burning Dongshan Mountain and the ancestral cemetery turned into a sea of ​​flames, most people in the village wept bitterly.

Before the sun came out in the morning, heavy snow began to fall in the sky. The snow flakes were like cotton wool, but the lacquer was the color of smoke and dust, and the ground was covered with a layer of gray.

When Jinxi and the others arrived home, grandma had already boiled the water, and everyone was so dirty with soot and dust that they couldn't tell.

The whole family was silent.

Jin Xi was a little tired, he was not particularly strong, and the nightmare at night became a reality, he almost received a double blow, because even the nightmare was so real, he didn't feel it when he rescued him before, but he was so tired now It's hard, and I can't cheer up at all.

Jiang Chen brought a basin of water, took off his dirty clothes, and wiped his face, Jinxi reached for a towel weakly, "I'll do it myself, you're tired too."

"It's okay, I can hold on." Jiang Chen looked at his tired face, feeling distressed.Quickly cleaned him up, hugged the kang directly, and let him lie down.

Jinxi lay on the kang in a state of confusion, and heard his grandfather talking in the waist room, "Jinyang, rest for a while and go to your father-in-law's house by bike."

"Oh, I got it, sir." Jin Yang responded, and Yingzi's sister-in-law's suppressed sobbing sounded in the main room.

Jiang Chen closed the door to cut off the sound from inside and outside the room.

It was already evening when Jin Xi woke up, her head hurt and her throat was uncomfortable.

Someone was talking in the waist room, but Jin Xi couldn't hear who it was, and when he wanted to sit up, he heard the door knock.

"Wake up. Don't get up." Jiang Chen said, helping him and touching his forehead, "It's still burning, drink some water. Are you hungry? There is porridge in the pot for you."

"Who's outside?"

"Uncle Six. Come and talk about relief. Don't worry about it, you have a fever. Take a good rest."

"I won't sleep anymore, my head feels uncomfortable." Jin Xi only felt that he would dream when he was sleeping, it was messy and he couldn't tell the difference.The more you sleep, the more uncomfortable you will be.

"Then get up and sit for a while, I'll get the porridge and you can eat it while it's hot."

"Well, brother Jinyang is back?"

"He didn't go. My sister-in-law's younger brother came over. Their village is fine, and they came from home before dawn."

"That's okay." Jin Xi said as she sat leaning against the wall with a dazed expression, feeling uncomfortable and lethargic.

Not long after Jiang Chen went out, he came into the room with a small kang table with porridge and side dishes on it.The sixth uncle also followed him into the house, "How is Jinxi? Are you exhausted?" The sixth uncle went to the edge of the kang and touched his head, "You are weak, so don't go out for a few days , Take good care of it."

"I'm fine, Uncle Six."

Sixth Uncle said a few words of comfort and left.

Jinxi drank the porridge, and sweated a little. Jiang Chen had given him medicine when he fell asleep, and he felt better when he sweated, but his body was sticky, and he sweated a lot while fighting fires and digging pits. , I feel very uncomfortable now.It's just that there is no way to take a shower at home.

Jiang Chen saw that he was really uncomfortable and fetched water to wipe him.After taking the medicine, I fell asleep again.

The next day I came together, my head didn't hurt so much, although my body was still dull, but it was much better and I didn't have a fever.

After eating breakfast with everyone, Jin Xi knew what happened yesterday after listening to his grandfather and the others.

People from the village went to Dongshan, but everyone in the town died. A fireball hit the middle of the town. The fireball hit like a big bomb. The shock wave collapsed the houses in the town. People were buried under the house, and even if they survived, they were burned to death later.In the past, no one was seen alive, and all of them were gone.

Jinxi said before that he was going to the market, and he was talking about where to go. It was originally a village, because it happened to take the road there when going to the county. Later, when the towns were divided, they took it as the town center on their side, and the market also Where to open, although it is not as prosperous as the towns in other areas, it is a very prosperous area within their ten miles and eight villages.Even if this town doesn't even have a three-story building.But he seems to be much more prosperous than other areas. In the past, there were girls in their village who were willing to marry there. It was close to home, and it was enough to go around Dongshan. The people in that place were still rich, and there was no need to farm the fields to open a small shop in the town.

So many people in the village are related to Dongshan.Who would have thought that the people in a village would disappear like this.

The closest relationship with Mr. Ye is a cousin, who married in the early years, and now the house is full of children and grandchildren, and their lives are very good. In the past, they took care of them when they had a hard time. Who would have thought that they are gone now.

"Did the second boy of Si Ya's family join the army?" The old man felt sad and suddenly thought of someone.

When Mrs. Ye heard Huo De got up from the kang, "No, it's been five years. She seems to be a non-commissioned officer." She had the best relationship with the old girl. When the boss passed away, the old girl helped their family a lot. She was moved to see it every time she went to Jishang.I heard that her whole family was gone before, and I felt uncomfortable. I didn't want to move when I was lying on the kang, and I was sad.This time, I heard that the old girl still has a root, and she will be energetic.

"I don't know where to serve as a soldier. Now it's all messed up, and it's hard to find people."

"It doesn't matter whether you can find it or not, as long as you live." The old lady wiped her tears as she said.

The Dongshan fire has been extinguished due to the heavy snow. I went to see it this morning. A big hole was smashed on the top of Dongshan.The trees in several valleys on the other side of Dongshan Mountain were also almost burned.The col next to Dongshan was also filled.Their ancestral graves are no longer the same, the trees have fallen, and the ground has leveled out. If you want to find the old graves, you will definitely not be able to find them.

The snow outside stopped for a day, and the ground was dirty, but the sky was not clear, or the smoke and dust from other places covered the sky with gray.When people go out and walk around, they will be covered with dirt.

Seven or eight houses in the village were buried, and everyone worked hard for a few days to dig out all the things that could be dug inside. Because of Cao Erxian's warning, everyone was fine, because every family had dug their cellars before, and the grain of two families was dug out. Because the other houses were too close to Dongshan, the soil layer was too thick, the cellar collapsed, and it was difficult to get food.

The situation of these few houses is too miserable, and the sixth uncle came here to talk about it from house to house, to see if everyone can help.

In fact, people nowadays are reluctant to part with food and items. At this time, who doesn't hold things tightly.But Uncle Six has a good saying, if he is in disaster today, he doesn't know whose turn it will be tomorrow, if he helped him today, who knows it will be his turn to help you next time.There are only so many people in our village at this time, and only by helping each other can we tide over the difficulties together.

There are only over 80 households in their village, less than a thousand people, and only a dozen households with foreign surnames. If they are not united and isolated by themselves, how will they survive disasters in the future.

Thinking of this, the people in the village also stretched out their hands. If your family gives a bag of noodles and his family gives a bag of rice, it is more or less meaningful, so that they can survive.

The Jinxi family gave a bag of corn noodles, a bag of dried vegetables and potatoes, and some cotton-padded quilts. Although they are old, they are clean and usable. They are about the same as those of other families, but they replaced them with new ones and weeded them out. of.

Several families had no place to live, and some families in the village had larger houses, so they took them in. The houses in the countryside were full of big kangs, and the whole family lived in one house, but the ground was so cold that they could only build houses in spring.

"Da Jiang, go and see why Vic and the others are going to eat if they haven't come over yet." Grandpa Ye poured wine and sat on the kang. Today is New Year's Eve. They still have to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner. They can’t be overwhelmed by the disaster. Having a good New Year’s Eve meal and everyone being reunited together is hope.

Jiang Chen responded, put on a padded jacket and went out, but just took two steps when he saw Brother Zhang Cheng in front, followed by Victor Cao Erxian Zheng Yuan.

"Master, they are here." Jiang Chen first told the old man, and then opened the door to welcome a few people in.But their expressions are not very good.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen stopped the smile on his face and asked in surprise.

Vic's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth trembled a little. "Ginger—" said that the circles of his eyes were red.

Cao Erxian next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Well Vic is Chinese New Year today, let's be grateful, at least we are still alive." After Cao Erxian finished speaking, he touched his tears in discomfort.While talking about pulling Vik into the room, Jiang Chen was a little puzzled, but he also knew that something serious had happened.

"What's the matter with you all? Be happy for the new year." The old man looked at the faces of the few people who entered the door and said.

Zhang Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth and squeezed Jin Xi's arm, as if this could give him strength.

Jinxi hurt a little from being pinched by Zhang Cheng.

"Forget it, what's the matter in the end, if you don't say this, you won't be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner." Mr. Ye leaned back on the kang cabinet, looked at several people and asked.

Zhang Zhong saw that everyone didn't want to talk. He coughed and said in a low voice, "Vic's hometown was destroyed by meteorites. And many places in the world were hit by meteorites. The world is really going to perish." Zhang Zhong As Zhong said, he took out a few stacked papers from his pocket, and slowly opened them.

The old man took it over and took a look, "What is this?" He didn't understand.

Jiang Chen took it, his face changed when he saw it, and he put them on the kang one by one, and turned his head to look at Vic, "This is a satellite image? How can I still receive a signal?"

Vic looked dejected, "Because the geomagnetism affected the signal confusion on the ground, I redesigned an anti-jamming device. After a few days, I caught a satellite signal last night, which happened to be a spy satellite. I obtained that The above image data, I got these. This is the last time, the satellite has been scrapped this morning." After Vic finished speaking, he covered his face with his hands, "I saw—" as he said, tears flowed down his mouth, " It's gone, it got knocked out by a satellite."

Jiang Chen got the satellite image of Europe, because the relationship between the smoke and dust is not very clear, but it is obvious that the place that belonged to the city is now a vast ocean.Those were the top cities in the world, and they just disappeared.

Jin Xi also stepped forward to take a look, and suddenly held a photo, "This is—" Jin Xi suddenly didn't dare to say anything.Although the map was pitch black due to the lack of electricity, the coastline was clear due to the snowfall, especially under the illumination of those fireballs.Can't make him fool himself.Meteorites smashed into the ground one after another, sparks illuminated the earth, and meteorites landed almost all over the country.

Jiang Chen suddenly collected all those satellite images, "I don't want to look at them." They saw that there was nothing they could do, they couldn't do anything.After putting away those satellite images, Jiang Chen looked at the people in the room and said, "Now is not the time to be sad. There are disasters everywhere in the world. Instead of being sad here, think about what to do in the future."

Zhang Cheng sat on the stool and his eyes were a little dazed, "I remember the teacher told me about the extinction of dinosaurs when I was in school. Although there is no conclusion yet, but thinking about what happened this year, everything is just the beginning. Maybe We humans are also in the same situation as the dinosaurs."

The men in the room were all silent, Grandma Ye came in from outside with a pot of stewed chicken, and put the small pot on the Kang table, "You guys, what do you think about so much, people are living anyway, living for a day One day, God refused to accept us, so we gritted our teeth and walked forward. You see, we still have chicken to eat now. It’s much better than when I was a child. I remember I was engaged to your grandfather when I was 16 years old. At that time, I didn’t know what meat tasted like. One must be content. God still treats us kindly.” After speaking, the old lady smiled and took Jinxi’s hand.There is a tolerant look in his eyes that can accommodate everything and is extremely satisfied.

Old Man Ye turned his head to look at Jinxi, and smiled after a while, "Yes, we should be content."

I don’t know if it’s the calm expression of the old man and the old lady who comforted them, or if everyone really took it easy. The New Year’s Eve dinner will continue as usual. Although there are only four dishes on the table and everyone is not in a good mood, this time The New Year's Eve dinner also represents a reunion, at least they are still alive.

Jinxi looked at the people on and off the kang in a room, and prayed in his heart, hoping that next year these people could still have New Year's Eve dinner together, and that they would be able to gather together for New Year's Eve dinner every year in the future.

I don't know if he knew Jinxi's wish, Jiang Chen held Jinxi's hand under the table, and showed him a warm smile, it seemed that he was always by his side just like when he was a child, no matter what time, he felt at ease filled the heart.

On the first day of junior high school, even though there have been too many hardships this year, people still put on a smile and greeted each other when they saw each other.

On the second day of junior high school, Jinyang took Yingzi and his sister-in-law back to her natal home, but Huzi didn't go. He was too young and it was too cold outside, and the road was not easy to walk, so he didn't take him with him.

Until the fifth day of the new year, Jinxi and the others stayed at home and rested for a few days. In the morning of the sixth day, the whole family except grandma and the tiger, and even Dabao followed up the mountain. They were going to collect some firewood on the mountain. There were many trees on the mountain. They were all burned into charcoal. Last year there were no corn stalks, and there was not enough fire. It happened that the mountain was burned and there was a lot of charcoal.

Looking at the dark forest, Jinxi suddenly thought of the dense forest in his dream, wondering if such a scene would appear.

These days, many people in the village went up the mountain one after another, all of them went to chop firewood and pick up charcoal. Although Jinxi recovered from an illness a few years ago, he lost a lot of weight. His family didn't let him go up the mountain, but just pulled the donkey cart back and forth. To transport home, Dabao is more sensible than before, not as playful as before, helping Jinxi unload the car at home, earnestly and never making trouble, afraid that the charcoal will be too close to the house, Jinxi unloads the charcoal and firewood outside the woods .

After the third trip, Jinxi was walking back when he saw several people riding horses to Cao Erxian's house, and stopped at their door to knock.

Jinxi thought for a while, got into the donkey cart and drove up the mountain.

"What is Jinxi in a hurry? He was sweating from running, Jinqi's father was holding a pile of firewood, saw Jinxi and said with a smile.

"Third Uncle." Jin Xi just said hello, and walked towards Grandpa, "Grandpa Cao's family has some soldiers."

"Who's a soldier? What are you doing?" Before Cao Erxian could say anything, the villagers who were collecting firewood nearby started shouting.

"Yeah, what are they here for?" Someone next to him reflected.

Jin Qi's father even followed him, "Second Uncle Cao, why don't you go hide in another village, and they don't come here to arrest you."

"It's okay, they will come as soon as they come." Cao Erxian had a desperate expression on his face.

"Second Master, we'll go back with you." Zhang Zhong put down the hatchet and followed Zheng Yuan.

"Don't be afraid, they can't do anything to me." Cao Erxian said with a smile.

"Second Immortal, let's go back together. We can't let them take you away." Mr. Ye also came over.

In fact, the matter about Cao Erxian has been discussed in their village. In the past, when he predicted earthquakes in the village, he was a member of the village. Even if it spread, it would not have any impact if it was spread in the nearby villages. This time it is different. , because there are soldiers stationed in the village, the matter must be reported, and then the consequences will not be known. Cao Erxian's ability is really too powerful, and everyone in their village escaped because of Cao Erxian. Not to mention, the collapsed families in the east would have been crushed to death if Cao Erxian hadn't reminded them.

If the higher ups really took Cao Erxian away, what would they do?
