food crisis [end times]
Chapter 28 Chapter 28
Everyone began to suspect that Xiang Luo was not a prophet, and the words came out.
Xiang Luo blinked and said: "I think everyone has misunderstood something. I didn't know about the fire in advance. I just watched the TV news before. There was a place abroad where a house caught fire and the fire could not be controlled in strong winds. Live, the fire brigade came and couldn’t control it, and the whole street was burnt down. But it was a hot day, and the houses were all thatched houses. Of course it’s different here, but there are so many piles of firewood, so we must be careful on windy days , so I brought it up."
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and people with vision can fully understand this level.
"Then what you said that year..." Someone immediately asked again.
"My grandma gave me the dream." Xiang Luo thought about this a few years ago.
In fact, it is not a lie, the ability of his right eye was told by his grandma in a dream, but it is impossible for him to tell outsiders about this.
Several people in the room peeped at each other, obviously not very convinced by this answer.
Zhou Zhenhua asked: "Did your grandma tell you that there is going to be a famine now and some lunatics are biting you?"
"That's right..." Xiang Luo said in an uncertain tone, "It's been a few years, and I can't remember clearly now. I just remember asking me to stockpile food. I told other people at the time, but everyone said that I I was sick. I thought about it when I looked back, how could such a thing happen in a peaceful and prosperous age, and I gradually forgot about it."
"Then you're not ready?" someone asked.
Xiang Luo sneered: "Prepare, I have the money. A few years ago, I could put a few more bags of rice in my house. But after releasing the live insects, I didn't dare to put more. When it was moldy before, there was almost no rice in my house. , If it wasn’t for my brother who lived in my house and brought food, I would be hungry now.”
Xiang Luo is so tall and burly, he really doesn't look like he is hungry.
Looking at Xiang Luo's expression, Zhou Zhenhua seemed to be distinguishing the truth from what he said.
Someone in the crowd said again: "Then why is your wall so high?"
Xiang Luo glanced over, and the man hid behind the others.
Xiang Luo understood why he was called here, and he came here to question him.
Asking this question means that similar rumors have existed in the village for a long time, but they have never been able to find a reason to ask.
In fact, this is a good thing. It is better for them to ask out in one breath than when conflicts break out in the future.
"That was decided when my parents were around." Xiang Luo's eyes dimmed a little, "Didn't the village install street lights before? That night, the light was shining in the middle of the night, and the whole house was illuminated. My mother couldn't sleep because of the light. I haven't been able to sleep well for a while, and I just built a house, so I thought about building a higher wall after the house was built. Later, people left, and I thought the original wall was not pleasing to the eye, so I demolished it and built a higher wall if I had some money. If it was covered, the other three sides would look ugly, so I replaced them all at once. At that time, the old Uncle Liu who lived on the right side of my house even quarreled with my family, saying that I treated them as thieves to guard against them. If you don’t believe me now Go and ask if this is the case."
The words were prepared a long time ago, and when I said them in one breath, the big stone in my heart was also put down.This can solve a hidden danger.Say good morning.
What Xiang Luo said was reasonable, but it was a little strange to be perfect.But the words have already been said here, and it would be outrageous to ask any more.
Village chief Zhou Zhenhua has been the village chief for several years, so he understands this truth.
He laughed and said, "Look at you, why didn't you say it earlier? You made a big fuss back then, and I misunderstood you. If you had said earlier that your grandma entrusted you with a dream, then why didn't you tell your third uncle?" Are they misunderstanding?"
Xiang Luo didn't change his face and said: "Isn't that just the disadvantage of being young? I was not sensible at the time. When I saw what I said, everyone thought I was sick. They treated me like that. I'm afraid that my grandma said it. Someone dug my grandma's grave. And I thought it was nonsense at the time, because I read too many novels and couldn't tell the difference. Who would have thought that such a thing would really happen now. My grandma is in vain for dreaming about it."
At this time, the topic of the village committee was opened, and everyone was talking about it.Some people felt sorry for Xiang Luo, saying that it would be great if he was more prepared.Or how good it is for other people in the village to listen to such a sentence and prepare in advance.
Only Xiang Luo has this fate, and some compliment Xiang Luo that it will definitely not be easy in the future.
Anyway, Xiang Luo's head is big when you say what you say.
Xiang Luo didn't care about that, he just sorted out what he said back and forth, logically there was no problem, and the rest was to answer their questions carefully.
Outsiders all know that rural people are simple, but they don't know that this kind of scheming hidden under the simplicity is even more murderous.The more contact you have, the more cautious you have to be, every word needs to be considered.Otherwise, if you don't know which sentence, you will be brought into the ditch.
When Xiang Luo's parents were around, they always kept him behind. The villagers he saw were always kind and amiable.
But after his parents were gone, he, a motherless child, had seen a lot of warmth and coldness in the world, and only then did he realize the undercurrent of this harmony.
But he learned it all.
Seeing their lively chat, Xiang Luocai said: "Then I'll go back to the entrance of the village. There are only two old men and two young girls at the entrance of the village. If there are people coming to inspect, carry wooden boards and so on, they can't all come."
After saying hello and going out from the village committee, the cold wind was still there, and Xiang Luo only felt that it was colder than before.
Shivering, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he hurried to the entrance of the village.
This time it's over.With the speed of gossip in the village, the whole village should know it soon.The next step is to deal with third uncle and second aunt's questioning, which is easier to deal with.
After moving to the entrance of the village, Xiang Jianguo first asked about the situation.They were afraid of outsiders coming in, so they didn't dare to move the place.
Xiang Luo simply said the matter, and the people at the door also sighed.
Water and fire are ruthless, the house in this cold weather has been ordered, how can there be days left?This is killing people.
"Are you sure who ordered it?" Xiang Jianguo asked.
"Where are you going to catch them? I haven't gone out in this cold weather, and it's time to change shifts." Xiang Luo turned his head and looked at the two little girls. The two girls were whispering something in their ears, which should also be related to the fire. .
Then Xiang Luo went to the tent to warm up for a while, and Xiang Jianguo saw that he didn't want to talk much, so he didn't say much.The atmosphere between the two was still extremely awkward.
Because of the fire in the morning, Xiang Luo missed the meal and had a meal at noon.In fact, it is multigrain rice, a bowl of soup with almost invisible ingredients and a little pickle.
Others are scrambling to eat for fear of missing a bite, Xiang Luo, who has a good meal, loses his appetite when he eats it.
Although almost, there is no limit.Those who come to work basically focus on these two meals for a day, so they are reluctant to put down the bowl.
In the afternoon, when it was time to hand over the shift, Xiang Luo went home, and Zhu Yan was ready.
Xiang Luo told him not to leave in a hurry, and dug out a box of canned luncheon meat from the kitchen cabinet and stuffed it for Zhu Yan. He didn't pay attention yesterday, but today he ate the meal over there. Whatever he said, he had to let Zhu Yan eat two good mouthfuls. .
You can't stop eating, and not eating attracts attention, but it doesn't mean you can't bring some good ones yourself.
Zhu Yan looked at the canned food and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of being dazzling?"
"If I eat it, it will definitely be eye-catching, and if someone asks for it, I won't give it to you. But you are different. Your character is a rich young master from the city, and no one will think it strange even if you bring the food directly. Dig this up and mix it with soup and eat it with rice, eat two more mouthfuls of hot ones so you don't freeze." Xiang Luo tidied his scarf, but Zhu Yan smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing him laughing, Xiang Luo curled his lips to both sides.
"Do you think you look like a little daughter-in-law who sends her husband to work?" Zhu Yan teased.
Xiang Luo was startled, seeing that he didn't speak.Zhu Yan also felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he coughed and left without saying anything.
Anwei hadn't woken up yet, obviously exhausted after a long night's sleep.
Xiang Luo's two meals were not very good. When he got home, he made some instant noodles for himself first, grabbed an extra handful of instant noodles and added a ham sausage to his partner, and then went downstairs to look at the livestock.
The heating and hot water on the ground go underground, just because the ground surface that passes first is a little longer, and the temperature is not so hot when it reaches the ground. The temperature is cooler, and chickens, ducks, and geese lay fewer eggs.It is also thought that it is cold, and their consumption of feed has also increased.
Fortunately, the feed prepared is enough for two years.As for what happened two years later, let's talk about it.
Then in the afternoon, I sorted out the materials before and after, and when An Wei woke up, they prepared dinner together, and asked An Wei to eat first, and Xiang Luo ate together after Zhu Yan came back from shift.
When An Wei left, Xiang Luo also brought him a can of luncheon meat. At first, he didn't want it, but Xiang Luo said that Zhu Yan was also there, so he took it and left.
Xiang Luo specially made ginger tea for him, and added a little more honey. Zhu Yan took off his padded jacket and held the ginger tea without letting go, feeling a little cold.
"It's colder today than yesterday." Zhu Yan blew on the hot ginger tea and looked out the window, "Anwei is going to be boiled tonight."
Xiang Luo said, "You can bring your meal tomorrow. It's an iron lunch box. When you're hungry, put the rice on the stove and heat it up."
What the village gives is miscellaneous grain rice, among which corn is the most.Although it is healthier after careful calculation, people who are used to eating japonica rice will definitely feel spicy throat if they eat that kind of coarse grain mixed rice.
"I'm not so hypocritical." Zhu Yan took a sip of ginger tea, "But I can bring some of this tea, you have a thermos."
Xiang Luo stood up and turned over.
After putting the thermos on the table, Zhu Yan said, "I saw someone today, and I feel suspicious."
Xiang Luo knew he was talking about arson.
"Who?"
Zhu Yan shook his head: "I don't know him, but he must be from the village. I have seen it before. I can recognize it again."
Zhu Yan has a photographic memory, let alone someone who paid special attention to it.
Xiang Luo thought about it carefully, and said with a bit of seriousness: "If you find out who it is, don't tell them, just let me know."
It's rare for Xiang Luo to be thoughtful.Zhu Yan understood better than he thought.
"I'm not stupid."
After all, Zhu Yan is a foreigner, and he doesn't know the villagers well.If he rashly stood up and identified who it was, there would be no evidence, only suspicion.At that time, if someone bites back, it will only be Zhu Yan who will suffer.
The author has something to say:
Even if the evidence is convincing and the family is deeply entrenched in the village, Zhu Yan, a foreigner, will only become the one who gets squeezed out.
Just as Xiang Luo was about to say something, Zhu Naonao suddenly called out without warning.The voice was quite loud. Looking at the back of the yard, he bared his teeth and growled fiercely.
