In the apocalypse of natural disasters, ordinary people can still live wonderfully
Chapter 249 Too Dark-hearted
There is a saying: Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people.
It’s not that unruly people are only found in the mountains, but that there are too few things that the poor can grasp, and they can only hold on with all their strength.
And in this process, it often becomes difficult to fill the gap.

When the acid rain stopped for several days, the villagers who had been indoors for three months finally dared to show their heads.
But people still dare not go far and only hang around the building.
Since the acid rain, people have returned to their normal routine.
Work during the day and sleep at night.
This is the only benefit acid rain brings to people, the temperature returns to normal again.
However, long-term acid rain has led to serious land desertification.
Although the intermittent rain did not cause flooding, the water on the ground and the streams never stopped, which led to serious soil erosion.
In some higher places, the rock formations have even broken out.
In Fenghuang Village, except for the 100 acres of land circled for growing sweet potatoes, there is no usable arable land.
Since most of Gu Zhai and Gu Jia's yards are covered by glass roofs, the soil has not been contaminated.
But what can be done with a yard that is just used for growing vegetables?
Moreover, the livestock kept in the animal shed on the ground by Gu Zhai couldn't stand the strong smell of sulfur in the air, and they wilted on the first day of the acid rain.
As a last resort, all the big ones were killed, and the smaller ones were moved back to the bunker to be raised again.
But the animals are alive and can move, but those growing in the soil can't.
The sweet potatoes that were urgently collected before the acid rain were immediately planted for the second crop, but as soon as the seedlings sprouted, they were immediately suffocated to death.
Not only animals and plants, but people can't stand it either.
Even if every corner of the house is filled with charcoal, the pungent smell still cannot be filtered out if the air outside is not good.
In three months, more than a thousand people died due to severe air pollution.
One of the most important tasks for workers in protective clothing during acid rain is to carry and bury corpses.
Most of those who died this time were children and the elderly.
During these three months, the Gu family's Longfengwa and Haohao were detained at home for a long time.
Daily activities are in the main room on the ground, and everyone in the Gu family goes down to the bunker to sleep.
The ventilation holes above and below the ground have been closed, and only internal self-circulating oxygen is relied on.
People who go out must wear gas masks, oxygen masks, and full protective clothing.
Later, in order not to cause trouble, except for Gu Yuan, others rarely went out.
Just when everyone was about to lose control, the acid rain stopped.
Some say that the cumulonimbus clouds hovering overhead have moved north, and the acid rain here in Fenghuang Village should have stopped.
However, the Gu family continued to stay at home for a week before going out. Even now, the smell outside was still pungent.
This morning, Gu Mi wore a mask with a filter valve and went out to look for Gu Jia and Gu Li.
The two left early in the morning to deal with the accumulated official business.
But the three of them agreed that they would go to the basement to look at furniture in the morning.
There are 11 villas for the Gu family, one for the Zhang family, one for the Lin family, and one for the Wen family. Each villa requires a lot of furniture.
Although there is no paint, there is plenty of wood.
The craftsmen in the village said that it was nothing to worry about. During the entire acid rain period, more than a dozen carpenters in the village were making furniture for the Gu family.
Yesterday, Gu Yuan said that part of the furniture had been made and it had to be moved before he could continue to make it.
So the three sisters of the Gu family made an appointment. After Gu Jia and Gu Li went to take care of some things in the morning, they would go look at the furniture together. If there was no problem, they would move to the villa.
Gu Mi first went to the Gu family's office villa, where only Gu Li was settling accounts.
"I was busy and forgot! Sister went to deliver sweet potatoes to the points team." Seeing Gu Mi coming over, Gu Li said with a slap on the forehead.
"Are you done? Let's go find Sister Shang, and then go to the basement firewood factory together." Gu Mi asked.
"I'm not done yet. I'm not busy anymore. Let's go now." As soon as Gu Li closed the account book, he stood up and took Gu Mi's arm and walked out.
The two sisters looked around and wandered around as they walked, not in a hurry anyway.
The Gu family's office villa is not far from the small high-rise building of the points team.
This building is in the community next to the one the Gu family bought. You can go from the back door of the community to the front door, and then enter the community through the front door next door.
Along the way, you can always meet people in twos and threes.
There are patrol members of the security team and villagers.
When people see the three Gu sisters, they will stop and stand aside respectfully to say hello, and then wait for the three of them to pass by before leaving.
Gu Li was obviously used to such scenes and could handle them with ease.
Gu Mi didn't care and ignored it with ease.
But after entering the neighborhood next door, the people I met again felt that something was wrong.
I saw many people running towards the points team building in a hurry.
When they saw the customers in the house, some of them hurriedly avoided them, some of them whispered to each other, but some of them did not come up to say hello openly.
Gu Mi glanced at Gu Li, and Gu Li understood. The two immediately quickened their pace and headed towards the building where the points team was.
When we got downstairs, we saw many people gathered around the door of the building. From a distance, we could see that the corridor was packed.
Gu Mi and Gu Li quickened their pace again and ran towards the points team.
People on the periphery heard the sound and looked over. When they saw Gu Mi and Gu Li, they subconsciously moved aside.
The person in front who didn't notice was also grabbed by the person behind him. When he turned around and saw Gu Mi and Gu Li, he grabbed the person in front again.
In this way, a passage was quickly given up.
Gu Mi and Gu Li walked in without hesitation.
The points team is on the bottom floor.
In addition to the corridors and buildings, the house was also crowded with people.
When the people in the room made way for Gu Mi to go in, Gu Mi felt that she had caught sight of an acquaintance. When she turned her head and took a closer look, she saw that it was Wang Lanfang's sister.
It was obvious that she also saw Gu Mi, and she shrank her neck, not daring to look at Gu Mi.
Gu Mi frowned.
But before she could figure out why she was here, she was attracted by the sound in the room.
"Gu Jia, you Gu family are so evil! You feed the villagers this pig food every day! Every day it's either sweet potatoes or rice, and you don't even have vegetables or meat. You are really going to be struck by lightning!"
Gu Mi frowned fiercely.
Gu Mi pushed away the people watching the fun in front of her.
The person who was pushed staggered and was about to curse, but after seeing Gu Mi and Gu Li clearly, he immediately fell silent and quickly stepped aside.
Gu Mi just pushed in and squeezed in, and quickly squeezed into the room.
Lin Li was seen standing behind an old lady, her face looked awkward and reluctant, but she stood firmly.
Gu Mi and Gu Li were standing behind them after they came in. Lin Li heard the movement behind them and turned around with an even more embarrassed expression.
The old lady was getting excited and didn't feel anything unusual.
