Doomsday foresight

The people who picked up charcoal on the mountain also followed Cao Erxian down the mountain, and when they arrived in the village, everyone else knew and believed in it.

"Don't follow, I'll go in by myself." Cao Erxian smiled and shook his head at everyone.

"I'll go with you." Mr. Ye put the cigarette pouch on his waist as a farewell.

"Brother, don't go." Cao Erxian grabbed Old Man Ye's arm, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." After speaking, he squeezed Old Man Ye's arm, turned and entered the yard.

Previously, Zhang Zhong and the others came back early and brought him into the house.

Jin Xi couldn't enter the house, but he didn't know why these people came here.

Jiang Chen glanced at him, "Go home."

"Ah?" Jin Xi replied in a panic.

"Go back." Jiang Chen said that he would not stay outside and dragged Jin Xi home.When he got home, he made a cup of powdered milk for him and put it in his hand, "Drink it." Jin Xi's face was pale and ugly.

Holding the cup, Jin Xi subconsciously took a sip, and the slightly warm milk entered his stomach, which relieved him a lot. Looking at Jiang Chen, "Grandpa Cao will be fine."

Jiang Chen reached out and touched his head, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Second Master Cao has seen a lot of things in the world over the years, and at this time, the higher-ups won't hold on to this matter. It is estimated that at this time they themselves I can’t fight it. The meteorite landing this time is too big. From the satellite image, seven or eight large cities have disappeared, and there are many small cities. The country is too busy to survive.”

Jinxi felt that Jiang Chen's words made sense, so he drank all the milk in the cup and put it on the edge of the kang, "I haven't told you about it yet. I'm too busy these days to forget it." After speaking, she looked at Jiang Chen, I don't know where to start.

Jiang Chen smiled and held his hand, "No rush."

Jin Xi smiled, and started talking about him being hit by a flowerpot, until he had a foreseeing dream, and even when he was awake, he could see what happened in the next few minutes.

"Grandpa believed my words. He thought that if we were the only ones to store food, our family might be targeted when there was no food in the village in the future. He couldn't bear to watch his relatives go hungry, so he thought of a way. Tell the story through Grandpa Cao's mouth, Grandpa Cao has always talked about it, and people in our village believe it, because every household in our village has food in stock."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned and pulled Jinxi's head, and looked at it, only to see a long scar on the back of his head, which recovered well, leaving only a trace.Holding Jinxi's head, his hands trembled a little, thinking that Jinxi would almost leave him, he was very scared.

Jin Xi felt itchy, tilted her head and smiled and said to Jiang Chen, "It's nothing, it just looks scary, nothing wrong with it."

"Be careful in the future. If something happens to you, we won't survive." Jiang Chen said seriously.

"Look at what you said. Don't worry, my life is in danger." Jin Xi didn't take it seriously, just thought Jiang Chen said it casually.

Just as Jiang Chen opened his mouth to say something, he heard movement at the door of the house, stood up to welcome him out, and saw Mr. Ye enter the courtyard.

"How are you doing?" Jiang Chen asked.Jin Xi also looked anxious.

"Let Erxian fool you." Old Master Ye looked good.

"What did Second Master Cao say?"

"He said that he could only predict things related to our village, and then he was not sure, so he had such a premonition a few minutes in advance. According to Cao Erxian, the higher-ups didn't pay much attention to it, and just sent a company commander to ask Ask. Let him be fooled." It was a false alarm.

Jiang Chen thought for a while and shook his head, "It's not necessarily that he doesn't pay attention to it, but Second Master Cao's prediction can only be made a few minutes in advance, which doesn't help much, and besides, the higher-ups may not be able to take care of us now."

"How do you say it?" Mr. Ye took off his shoes and got on the kang.Jinxi poured him a glass of water.

"When we came back, we passed through several countries, which were already in a state of anarchy and chaos. Although our place is strictly controlled by the government, the impact of the meteorite this time is very huge. As long as it hits the city, it will cause huge losses. , and even several important cities have disappeared, this situation is enough for the top to be busy, and the loss of many management personnel, their control area is getting smaller and smaller." Jiang Chen said that the highlighted satellite image Take it out and spread it on the kang.

"Grandpa, look, the meteorites that fell in these places are too big, and the scope of the explosion is no less than that of nuclear bombs. Under such a big disaster, the country may also be in chaos. Ambitious people can take advantage of this opportunity to seize power. They are doing their own thing. There is no time for the 'little things' on our side."

"Is it really going to be messed up?" Mr. Ye asked in a daze.

Jiang Chen nodded, "It will definitely be chaotic. Several large grain depots in our province have been affected by meteorites. I don't know how much can be saved, but just looking at the smoke and dust falling from the sky, the fire must have not been extinguished in some places. "

This result was obtained by looking at the satellite image that day. Although the satellite image is not very clear, there are a lot of meteorite fireballs that landed in their province, especially in the south of the province. Just looking at the satellite image, it turned into a sea of ​​flames.He really didn't want to guess how much food was left. If there was no food, it was impossible to predict how the people in the city would survive.

Jinxi felt that his ability to bear was getting stronger and stronger, even after hearing Jiang Chen's analysis, he didn't have much reaction, knowing that Cao Erxian would not be taken away, he relaxed a lot, thinking about what to eat for dinner.

Mr. Ye also listened to it and let it go, he didn't take it seriously, he just felt that even if the lack of food had nothing to do with them, Jiang Chen was very caring. After seeing the situation abroad, he knew very well that when the country can't restrain it At that time, people's ambitions were so great. At that time, food, materials, and everything would become the target of competition. Yejia Village was too rich, and sooner or later it would become the target of ambitious people.

The actual situation was similar to Jiang Chen's analysis. In the evening, they heard the sound of a car and went out to have a look. It turned out that all the soldiers who lived in the brigade headquarters left in cars.There are not many people who can use gasoline at this time.

Seeing them leaving, Jiang Chen told his grandfather and went to Zhang Zhong's place. Just seeing those soldiers leaving, he could already be sure that the city was in chaos.The army's ability to control the city is reduced.They just took advantage of the absence of the army to get back or hide the remaining supplies in Beiyudian.

I didn’t go to Beiyudian before because of the meteorite fire. At that time, if the meteorite smashed the plane, I wouldn’t say anything, and there would be nothing. If I didn’t smash it, no one would find it.

This time they were going to drive, and this time they came back to buy a lot of gasoline. Although the weather was cold, the car should be able to start after warming up.Didn't you see that military cars can run?Jiang Chen was still thinking about whether to drive the car back with him on the plane, but in the end he gave up the idea, it was still too eye-catching.

Jinxi didn’t go this time when I went out. I just got sick and was in poor health. Going there won’t be of much help. The most important thing is that there are already beggars in the village. We can’t leave the old and the young at home, so Jinxi Both Zhang Cheng and Zhang Cheng stayed.

It was unexpected that beggars appeared in the village so soon, and there were quite a few of them.

"What about the sixth one? If these people stay here, our village will be messed up." Jiang Chen and the others left before dawn in the morning, but seven or eight of them came over in the morning.They didn't dare to let people into the house. These people walked around the village, and they didn't want to leave.

Ye Laoliu sighed, "Second brother, every household in our village will send some food, make some dry food for them, let them go to the county, our village must not stay."

In fact, there are relatives in their village who have come to join them year after year. One or two is okay, but if there are too many, it will be a disaster. Their village simply cannot accommodate so many people.It's hard to say what kind of mind these people are in. In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, both families have lost their chickens.

"Hey, I don't know how many there are. What if these people become addicted to it?" Yewu squatted obediently at the door, smoking a cigarette, and said with a sad face.

"Then what do you say, don't send them away, what if they don't leave the village."

"What are you afraid of? It's so cold, they won't be afraid of freezing to death if they sleep there at night." Ye Laosan yelled. "How much food does our family have, who wants to take it out? You see, it's spring, and the temperature hasn't dropped at all. It's still minus [-] or [-] degrees. If spring comes late this year, will we have enough food to last until autumn?" I don’t know when this kind of day will end, and many people in our village have two meals a day.” Zhou Xuewen, a foreign surname in the village, went to Yejia Village when he went to the countryside. Later, when others returned to the city, his family had no one. So he stayed and married a girl from the Ye family in the village. He was regarded as the son-in-law of the Ye family. Back then, because there were few high school students, he was a learned man and was respected by the villagers.

"If you want me to say, just drive them away. Don't worry, just cut them out if you want to resist." Ye Cheng's father Ye Shuo said nonchalantly, he is still tough in his 40s.

Ye Laoliu glared at him, "It's not that far yet, don't shout about beating and killing. In this way, each household will give out ten catties of corn noodles, and ask the girls in the village to make pancakes, and each person will give one. Nine, you lead people to seal the roads in the village with fences, so that people don’t enter the village, go directly to Dongtou to get dry food and then let them go to the county on the east road. They will always be accepted there. Several families that were originally affected by the disaster It’s free.” If beggars came to the door in the past, each household would give a few spoonfuls of grain, but now it’s no longer possible, and each family’s ten catties is too much.

"Ten catties is too much. One catty is enough for a family. Our family doesn't have much food." Ye Shuo was very dissatisfied.Their family now has a grandson, and their daughter-in-law is also pregnant, so they can't go hungry.

"Just as I said, ten catties, you don't need to do it all, and save the rest first. You can count it in Xuewen."

"Oh." Zhou Xuewen responded.

Seeing that the village head made such a decision, Ye Shuo didn't say anything.

There were originally four branches in Yejia Village, but one left the family and went to the south in the early years, and the other branch died early, and the children separated early, unlike the other two branches that have been united and now there are only three families in the village. .

There are two relatively large Ye family members in the village, namely, Mr. Ye's family and Ye Shuo's family.Ye Jinxi’s name here has a middle character, while Ye Shuo’s and the others have the same radicals. Grandpa Ye Jinxi has six brothers. Except for the early death of Ye Laosi, the fourth brother Ye passed away in the second half of last year, and there are still four brothers left here. One, there is a large group of grandchildren, grandchildren and daughters below. Many married people have built houses in the village. Ye Shuo has four fathers and brothers. Don’t look at them, they are just four brothers, but the population is not less than Jinxi’s group. .In Ye Shuo's generation, there are only twenty.Jinxi and the others have more in this generation.

Yejia Village is also interesting. Jinxi and the others have caught up with family planning in their generation, but they are remote here, and many people give birth secretly, running for a few months at most, but their village is not running to give birth to sons, Yejia Village Everyone wants to have a daughter.It's a pity that Yejia Village doesn't know if it's a water and soil problem, each family has only boys, Ye Shuo's generation has only three girls, and Jinxi's generation has only seven girls in the village.It is so rare that it is rare for any family to have a girl in the whole village.Moreover, these girls have all married into the village, which is also the origin of the Ye family's surname.Except for the later Zhao Quan, the others are almost all the sons-in-law of the Ye family.

The relationship between Ye Shuo and Ye Jinxi has always been that kind of contradictory relationship. Usually, there will be comparisons and competitions among them, and no one will accept each other. But as long as the outside is unfavorable to the Ye family, the Ye family will unite .

So Ye Shuo seemed to be dissatisfied with Ye Lao Liu's order, but what had to be done was still to be done.

Several entrances and exits of the village were blocked, and people who came over could not get in. The east crossing was originally blocked by rocks, but these days, the villagers dig every day, and now a road has been opened. A table was set up at the crossing, and there were steamed corn noodles on it, and one person only gave about two or two.

At night, the village pitied them that they had no place to live, so they lent them the headquarters of the brigade, but they were not allowed to wander around regardless of food. Before the soldiers lived here, the kangs were ready-made, and the living utensils were also complete.However, they can only stay for one night at most, and they will be on the road the next morning with one piece of bread per person.

In fact, the people who have come out are not reluctant to leave, they really can't live on, some villages are gone, and they can only prepare to go to the county and wait for rescue, these people almost have no place to live.Otherwise, who will come out in the cold weather.People in the village are not polite to those who insist on asking for food. This year, no one in the village has gone out to work. There are many young and middle-aged people in Yejia Village.
