Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world

At ten o'clock in the evening, Maomao was already asleep. Lin Qian quietly opened the door and went out. Gao Xiao'an looked a little worried.

Holding a stick in her hand, Lin Qian walked around to the back of the house, opened the backyard door, determined the direction, and walked toward the cowshed.

The new moon is like a hook, and the village is quiet. Lin Qian holds the long stick in her hand tightly with her heart in her heart, and explores the road ahead before walking. The road these days is uneven, and it is very dangerous to miss it.

It wasn't until she saw a tall birch tree that she breathed a sigh of relief.

The birch tree was a signpost she set, and reaching this point meant that she had walked half the distance.

There was no road from the house to the cowshed, but luckily it was all flat land, with no steep slopes, just overgrown weeds, almost knee-high in some places.

After walking to the edge of the birch tree, Lin Qian entered the space.

Although this space cannot be used as a safe house, it is also very practical in that people around it cannot enter or exit.

I wrapped ten black-faced steamed buns and six meat buns in oil paper and put them on the top of the backpack. I opened the medicine box and took out a box of painkillers and put them in my pocket.

Lin Qian then turned on two warmers and put them on her back. She turned out her leather hat and leather gloves and put them on. It was really cold here at night. No wonder everyone didn't go out after dark.

Seeing the tea on the table, I took a bag and took it with me, then left the space and went straight to the bullpen.

Although the village helped build a kang, this simple thatched house was leaky.

Lin Tianyou and Ye Shihua leaned together, not daring to take off their shabby clothes.

The quilt was made of knotted cotton balls, and the previous owner had stuffed a lot of thatch into it, which didn't keep me warm at all.

Seeing the fire that was almost burning to the end, Lin Tianyou didn't dare to be careless. He endured the pain in his knees and got down from the kang to add firewood.

The fire cannot be extinguished, otherwise the temperature will be too low and the water in the house will be covered with thin ice the next morning.

As people get older, they sleep less. Lin Tianyou sat on the stone, looked at the light of the fire, and unconsciously became dazed.

"Let's bake a sweet potato and eat it." Seeing him sitting there motionless, Ye Shihua stopped sleeping.

Get up from the kang, take out two finger-thin sweet potatoes from the bag, and put them next to the fire to simmer.

This old man comforts people in a variety of ways, but after being married to him for so many years, why don't he understand the arrogance in his heart.

Back then, he chose to go out on his own because he didn't want to rely on his brother's appearance. Now that he's in this situation, it really blows away the breath in his heart.

"We have to collect more firewood tomorrow. Secretary Wang said it will be very cold this winter."

"I know, you should take it easy while you work, Sissi and Maomao are still waiting for us to go back!"

"Yes, there are still people at home waiting for us to go back!" I don't know if there will be a day when we go back.

Before Lin Qian reached the thatched house, she smelled an unpleasant smell, the smell of livestock.

Just like when I went to a farmhouse in the past, no matter how clean it was, as long as chickens and ducks were raised, the smell would remain.

The door was ajar, and Lin Qian's hand on the door shook a little when she heard the voices coming from inside.

"Who?!" Lin Tianyou shouted loudly when he heard the noise outside the door.

Ye Shihua stood up and held the knife for chopping pork and vegetables. Lin Tianyou shook his head and slowly stood up with her support.

I don’t know who came over at this point, but since the person didn’t kick the door directly, it probably wasn’t those red armbands.

The door creaked and swayed open. For a moment, Lin Tianyou and Ye Shihua couldn't remember whether they were dreaming or not!

Their Sissi was standing at the door. She must be dreaming, otherwise she would be crying and laughing at the same time, and her tangled expression would be really ugly.

"Grandpa, grandma, I..." Lin Qian called someone, and her hand was held by Ye Shihua.

"It's hot! Sissi is here!"

Lin Tianyou was obviously thinking more, and asked in a somewhat anxious tone: "Did something happen at home?"

"Everything is fine at home. It was my mother and I who brought Maomao here to go to the countryside to become educated youths!" Lin Qian held Ye Shihua's cold hand and saw several small cracks on it through the weak firelight. .

"Okay, okay!" Lin Tianyou couldn't help but look at Lin Qian, as if he still couldn't believe it.

"Grandpa and grandma, our family can be together again from now on!"

"Sissi, come in and warm yourself by the fire. It's too cold outside!" Ye Shihua took her hand and led her to the fire.

"There's no stool, so I'm sorry you're sitting on a rock. There are roasted sweet potatoes here, eat one quickly!" Ye Shihua stared at Lin Qian, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"Old man, Sissi is here, why are you standing at the door? Why don't you close the door quickly!"

"The door can't be closed." Lin Tianyou sat down at the door, "Sissi, if someone comes later, you can go through the back door. There is a path after going around the pig pen. Follow the path to the end and you can go back to the main road. .”

Lin Qian nodded, "Grandpa, don't worry, I was very careful when I came here, and the place where the three of us live now is at the end of the village, very close to here!"

After looking around, I saw that there wasn't even a stove in the house. The water and rice were boiled directly on the fire.

The kang was very small, and the quilt was not very warm at all, and the cotton was exposed in several places.

After briefly talking about how they got here, Lin Qian quickly took off the basket and said, "In the future, when my mother becomes a barefoot doctor, she will have a reason to go to the mountains to collect herbs, so that she can quietly bring Maomao over to see you. !”

"Grandpa and grandma, are you okay now?" Lin Qian asked a little uneasily. To be honest, she couldn't change much in this environment.

"It's not bad." Lin Tianyou said with a smile: "Those red armbands came over and asked us to reflect, so we reflected deeply and wrote the materials when we were asked. My grandparents have lived for most of their lives and have never seen any big storms or waves."

At this point, Lin Tianyou sighed, "There was a young man who came with us who didn't think about it and killed himself. Since then, someone from the top of the county has asked the brigade secretaries of each village to educate us. The secretary is a good person, he doesn’t make things difficult for us, and even built a small kang for us so that we can survive this winter.”

"So when you come here, you can live your own lives. We don't need to contact you if nothing happens. The current situation is sensitive, so don't involve you anymore."

"Yes, you are too bold for a girl to walk at night!" Ye Shihua's face looked a little sad, but also proud.

"My mother is treating people recently. I have been walking around the village and the mountains with a friend all day long. I know how to get here and have been there before!" Lin Qian said as she took out something.

"These are steamed buns and meat buns. Grandpa and grandma, please eat one quickly!" Lin Qian took out the top oil paper bun and handed it to Ye Shihua like a treasure.

Ye Shihua and Lin Tianyou both looked at her lovingly, "Don't worry, it's not good to eat too much at night. It won't go bad if you leave it out in this weather. You can wait until tomorrow to eat."

"Grandpa's knee hurts again. I brought a plaster made by my mother and an oral painkiller, one pill at a time. But remember, this medicine cannot be taken with alcohol!"

Lin Qian then took out two sets of black sweaters and pants, "This is warm to wear. I'll put it on quickly after I leave."

After taking out all the things in the small backpack, "Grandma, where have you put all your things?"

She looked around and saw only an earthen pot and two small notched bowls, "Are these the only ones in the house?!"
