A thousand miles in the last days

Chapter 23 The Half Buried City

No matter how you arrange it, you can’t leave two words—keep warm. There are no heated kangs in the two cave dwellings upstairs. If the continuous power supply can be maintained, it is probably okay. If the temperature drops suddenly and the power is cut off, even the cave dwellings cannot guarantee safety.Since the kiln has a direct staircase to the top, the doors and windows of the bedroom must be tightly closed, and it is a race against time. Zhang Hao and Qianzhong started beating.

Xiao Leng dragged Wei Xiuwen to the cave on the far left below, and the two held their cheeks to consider what this room was used for.Half of the space in Zhang Hao and Wei Xiuwen's cave dwelling was converted into a bathroom by the original seller, and they don't plan to move any more, and it's warmer for two of them to sleep, so they don't plan to separate one person to sleep in it, and store it in the kitchen. There is more than enough food and the like, so there is no need to take out so many things and put them in the cave.

Xiao Leng really couldn't think of it, so he gave up and said, "How about leaving it empty?"

Wei Xiuwen shook his head, "An ordinary house will not look deserted if it has furniture, not to mention such a big cave dwelling, you don't want to see this empty look every time you go upstairs, right?" A cold place will even affect several other cave dwellings, so it cannot be empty.

In the end, I decided to arrange it according to the ordinary living room, and fill the whole space first, so that there will be no empty feeling.After spending several hours, the four of them finally stopped to take a breath. Well, their "home" for the next period of time has been arranged, and they can finally have something to eat and watch TV for entertainment.

A simple pot of noodles was cooked, and the four of them sat around the low table and ate happily. The TV on the wall was broadcasting today's news. They listened with pricked ears, and suddenly a piece of news caught their attention. force. "...this sandstorm was the strongest and worst in history. It lasted for nearly half a month. The falling dust flooded some low-rise residences and even low-lying villages...Many people were trapped in high-rise buildings... The death toll has not yet been calculated, and preliminary estimates..."

What unfolded in front of their eyes was a city like a sandy land. All the roads and fields were buried by the yellow sand, and the high-rise buildings were sunken deep in the sand. People could still be vaguely seen trapped by the open glass windows on the high-rise buildings. Only the roofs of the houses were exposed, and people and vehicles could hardly walk on the sandy ground. Rescue operations were very difficult.The damage caused by the sandstorm here is unpredictable, and I don't know how long it will take to restore the original appearance of the city.

Zhang Hao smacked Wei Xiuwen's arm: "Dinner, what do you think? Even if you used to be in the search and rescue team, you felt a sense of mission when looking at this picture, but you are not now! They can arrange for you when you are useful." Work, kick you away when it's useless, you can't lose your temper!" Knowing that he was persuaded to leave after being injured, Zhang Hao was already full of anger.

Xiao Leng nodded in agreement, "Yes, after all, you were injured on duty, how can you not take good care of your legs?"

Wei Xiuwen was still a little bit disappointed at first, but now that they said it warmed his heart, he smiled with relief: "It's not like you don't know how critical the situation was at that time, how many people the ambulance team had to treat in a day, even if I was sent to The hospital in the safe area estimated that my leg was also delayed, so it would be good if I could save my life. The above only mentioned that I was no longer suitable for this job, so I resigned myself, which has nothing to do with anyone. I don't think so much now, the most important thing is to live well with you, well, let's eat." After dying once, he should think more about himself in this doomsday.

Continued to eat, and then Wei Xiuwen went to the nearest family to find an old man, and asked him how to burn the kang. The old man happily explained carefully. I learned a lot with the movements, thanked the old man, gave a bag of soft bread as a thank you gift, and sent the old man out.

The stove is burning, and it cannot be burned in vain. Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Leng took a few big bones specially found by Qianzhong to the kitchen to boil the bone soup. It is the first time that the bones have grown so big. Once, someone was worried about supplementing his body and forced him to take calcium tablets and drink milk every day. He was only happy and moved.

Xue Qianzhong and Zhang Hao were entangled on the kang and were unwilling to move. They squinted their eyes comfortably and ate snacks. Zhang Hao dug out a PSP from the bag he had brought before and played happily. Stretch out your head and look around curiously, "What is that, is it fun?"

Zhang Hao didn't raise his head, and despised him: "You don't know how to play, go watch TV."

Xue Qianzhong narrowed his eyes, and did something under the quilt. Zhang Hao, who was leaning against the wall, tilted his body, hurriedly grabbed the game console that was almost shaken off, and said angrily: "What are you doing, you want to fight, ah?" Not to be outdone, they swept across, and the two of them came and went on the kang, making a mess of the quilt, and scattered snacks everywhere.

"Play for me!" Xue Qianzhong stretched out his hand to grab it.

"No! Unless you call me big brother!" Zhang Hao pushed forward.

Xue Qianzhong paused, looked at Zhang Hao's triumphant appearance, and slowly grinned, "Say it again." Zhang Hao felt that he was crazy about not being able to grab something, and was about to repeat his words when suddenly He stared wide-eyed to see a crystal vase appear out of thin air in Xue Qianzhong's hand. It has an elegant curvature and a bottle body that seems to be shining with bright colors... This is one of his favorite collections, but because of its large size, he feels heartbroken. stay home!

"Big brother! I mean, please let me call you big brother! Such a fun thing is naturally to be filial to big brother. Come on, brother, I will teach you how to play." Zhang Hao changed the original words very quickly, and told his brother The two good friends embraced Qianzhong's shoulders, staring at the beautiful vase, "Brother, this thing... don't tell me you have all my collection..." His collection was not buried in the ground, but it was still in good condition. By my side!Zhang Hao suddenly burst into tears.

Xue Qianzhong was complacent, "You're smart, my brother will keep your things for you, be obedient in the future! Give this to me, how can I play with it?" Snatching the PSP from Zhang Hao's hand, Qian Zhong swished the things Taking back the space again, he grabbed Zhang Hao who looked disappointed and asked him to explain the gameplay.

Forget it, knowing that they are still good enough!Zhang Hao thought with relief like a father who learned that his children were intact.

On the top of the cave where they are, Xiao Leng and Wei Xiuwen are sitting and looking at the distant scenery. It is very quiet here, there is no hustle and bustle that is unique to the city, except for a little more coldness in the air, Xiao Leng tightens his clothes tightly, Blinking and blinking, "It's very cold, I always keep walking, I even forget what month it is."

Wei Xiuwen also woke up suddenly, shook his head and sighed: "Yeah, my mind is full of these disasters and disasters, and how to survive... Speaking of which, it is already winter, right? The whole autumn really answered that word— — It’s been an eventful year, now I just hope this winter is not too difficult.”

The next period of time seems to be calm again, and the cities that have suffered various disasters are urgently rebuilding and tidying up, so that people must have a place to live before the first snow.

The Bureau of Meteorology has never issued a heavy snow and temperature forecast, so everyone thinks that this winter will be warm as usual. The victims of the disaster still live in simple houses in their homes.

One day, when Xiao Leng was stretching his arms and legs in the open space in front of the cave, a group of people came up from below. The unusually fashionable young man at the head had a warm smile and introduced himself: "Hello, we are students of XX University , Those who come to visit and travel are very interested in these cave dwellings, can you let us visit, we think your cave dwellings are very special."

Visiting a cave?College Students?Xiao Leng is not very good at dealing with people, he shook his head, he didn't think his family's grain storage piled up like a hill could be seen by others.

The young man wanted to say something, but a pretty girl behind him said impatiently: "Hey, we just go in and take a few photos, but we can't do anything to you, maybe we can even publish it in a magazine or on the website Show your face! No one else wants this opportunity yet!"

Xiao Leng still shook his head, "I'm sorry, you can visit other places." What's the point of being in a magazine?

"Hey you..." "Yuan Sihan, can you be more polite, you think this is your father's unit!" A weak voice in the crowd stopped the girl from speaking, Yuan Sihan turned her head to look They went to the back, and after a while, there was the sound of arguing.The young man from before had an apologetic expression on his face, and he put his hands together and begged, "I'm sorry, she's not very good at talking, so don't take it to heart, really, can't you accommodate me a bit?"

Putting a hand on Xiao Leng's shoulder, a cold voice sounded: "What's wrong? Who are they?"

Immediately there was a burst of screaming from the crowd, and a girl whispered into their ears: "... so handsome, a handsome guy with long hair... he has a great figure and temperament..." "Hurry up and take a photo... ..."

Xiao Leng turned his head and smiled, "It's okay Qianzhong, it's just that they want to come to our house to take pictures, and I have already refused."

Xue Qianzhong rubbed his head, with a soft smile on his face, and when he faced the group of people, he turned expressionless again, "There are hundreds if not thousands of cave dwellings here, most of them are the same, everyone It's the same anywhere else, it's nothing special here, really."

Now that the host has said so, it’s not good to pester him with shamelessness. The complex expression on the young man’s face flashed past, calling his classmates and friends to go elsewhere. The sound of someone complaining.Xue Qianzhong let go of Xiao Leng's shoulders and stretched his arms, "Okay, people are gone, let's exercise~"

What they didn't know was that this group of students had settled down in a family with a relatively large area not far from them, and they didn't even know that an extremely cold undercurrent was about to invade this land in such a calm winter day...
