The Tight Embrace of the End Times

Chapter 13 The Little Ice Age

The days are repeated day after day, this unbearable heat, there is no traffic, there is no electricity, there is almost no communication, and there is no technology that modern people are proud of. Is it all bad?

No.

Careful people found that in such a harsh environment, almost no one fell down because of illness, but only collapsed because of the fragility of their hearts.

The mature man who persevered, his body was polished day by day, his strength became stronger, he became stronger, and he was more adaptable to the current environment.Moreover, the heart is also more tenacious.There is no other time than this moment, which makes them realize so clearly from the bottom of their hearts that they are the heads of the family and stand upright.

However, all the people still eagerly hope that the scorching heat will pass and usher in a cool autumn.

Food is getting scarcer, and the women and children at home seem to be reaching their limits. When other external forces cannot intervene, people can only hope for prayers.

Therefore, by the big lake, under the eaves, and on the ridges of the fields, people will piously fall on the ground after finishing their work, with solemn and solemn faces, chanting words, and praying to the gods.

The gods seem to have heard people's prayers and were moved by people's piety. At noon one day, the scorching sun quietly receded, and the dark clouds suddenly covered. , Countless bean-sized raindrops came rushing in, people were caught off guard, dizzy from being hit by the rain, after reacting, regardless of the sweet pain from being hit by the rain, they immediately pulled their families to laugh and enjoy themselves in the rain Jumping and jumping, quite a few people opened their mouths wide to face the sky, and the rain met their expectations to moisten their chapped lips and smoky throats, straight down.Take off your clothes quickly in the rain, take a good bath, after the bath, people who calm down a little will call the family again, take out the bottles and cans at home, and fill them with water. I am afraid of water shortage. At this moment, everyone has a feeling of the past. People are good at looking forward to tomorrow, the cool harvest autumn in memory.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao stood side by side by the window sill, looking up at the dense bean-sized transparent raindrops in the sky, making small nests on the ground, full of joy.

Although Gu Leng and his wife are not short of water, they also took a few large buckets of "rootless water" according to the occasion, and both of them took a bath happily. The rain outside was getting bigger and bigger, so Gu Leng proposed to eat with the sound of rain. hot pot.

Gu Leng hadn’t eaten hot pot for a long time, and so did Xiao Qiao. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the enthusiastic one was picking vegetables in the space. The basket was gone, Gu Leng had a headache again, so many dishes had to be sorted and washed, it was annoying, Gu Leng thought about the heavy rain outside the window, rolled his eyes, and thought of a good idea, a dimple appeared on the corner of his mouth I walked out of the space, came to the window, raised the edge of the basket with both hands, "poured" and "shaked", so the vegetables in the basket were washed by the rain.

Xiao Qiao, a carnivore, was naturally catching the chicken. When Xiao Qiao left the space holding the chicken with his left hand and holding three eggs in his right, he saw Gu Leng standing by the window smiling.

Xiao Qiao walked over to have a look, there was a yard full of vegetables.Xiao Qiao didn't bother with the three black lines on his forehead, and just plucked out all the feathers on his own, simply and neatly.

Gu Leng admired his masterpiece, and was satisfied to see that the soil on the root of the vegetable was washed away by the rain, and went to the space to pick a big pumpkin and a basket of sweet potatoes.

Gu Leng’s space is full of things that Gu Leng likes to eat. Gu Leng likes to eat pumpkin cakes. Pumpkin porridge is also delicious. Pumpkin seeds can be eaten as melon seeds after drying. They are really delicious and versatile. As for sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes Bread, sweet potato porridge, roasted sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, delicious, good for the stomach, and high yield, anti-hunger, Gu Leng loves these two ingredients very much, and has a special plot in the space to grow them.

What Gu Leng wants to make today is pumpkin pancakes and sweet potato pancakes, how can we eat hot pot without these cute little snacks.

First peel and wash the pumpkin and sweet potato, put them into the pot and steam them until they are cooked, then mash them with a spatula, add a certain amount of flour and oil, after mixing them, knead them into balls with your hands, and then put them into the oil pan Deep-fried, freshly fried pumpkin cakes and sweet potato cakes are the most delicious. Xiao Qiao couldn't help running over to eat them. He ate one by himself and blew on the other. When the temperature was about the same, he sandwiched it with Gu Leng. Continuing to fry things, while giving Xiao Qiao a satisfied look, Xiao Qiao took the opportunity to "tweet" and leave an oily kiss on Gu Leng's face.

Gu Leng fried a large basin pancake, and Xiao Qiao beside him ate it very pleasantly. Seeing Xiao Qiao eating so happily, Gu Leng was inexplicably an eyesore, so he kicked him and said, "Xiao Qiao, aren't you pulling out the cake?" Is it hairy? Is the chicken ready? Where is it?"

Xiao Qiao pointed to the direction of the window, and Gu Leng walked over there in a daze to take a look. There was a black line, and by the window, under the heavy rain, a white chicken was hanging there, shaking from time to time when it was hit by the rain. Gu Leng inexplicably saw from this chicken that there is nothing to love in life, four big characters, although this chicken is already dead and can't die anymore.

Gu Leng looked back at Xiao Qiao who was still eating pumpkin pie, walked over and kicked him again: "Okay, I can't eat hot pot any more, so send some to Aunt He's house."

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao went downstairs together, one to deliver the cakes, and the other to pick up vegetables all over the yard.

Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao ate hot pot all afternoon amidst the crackling rain outside, feeling a sense of satisfaction rising from the bottom of their hearts.

When the heavy rain fell, the temperature dropped. The villagers of the Gu family who had lived in the basement for several months moved to live in their own big and bright houses. They also took advantage of the rain to wash and clean, and did a good job of hygiene. Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao could live at home. Hearing voices and laughter from all directions.

This night, countless people had a good sleep mixed with sweet dreams.

The second day was still raining, the third day was still the same, and the fourth day was still the same. The rain flooded the ground and spread to the higher places. People were no longer so happy about the rain. Many people stood under the eaves of their homes and began to pray silently.

On the sixth night of rain, Gu Leng in his sleep was awakened by Xiao Qiao's forceful shaking. When Gu Leng woke up and was about to burst out of getting up, he couldn't help but tremble, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. After the [-]-pound down quilt wrapped Gu Leng, Gu Leng felt a little better. Gu Leng regained his consciousness and meditated for a few seconds to control the heat from his heart to flow through his whole body. With a small achievement in cultivation, even a body that is not afraid of cold and heat can almost pass the Tao without noticing it, let alone an ordinary person.

Xiao Qiao saw that Gu Leng had almost recovered, so she put a few overcoats on Gu Leng, found two pot lids, and pulled Gu Leng out to inform others.

As soon as he opened the door, Gu Leng rushed out and slid a few steps on the ice. When he was about to fall to the ground, he was hugged by Xiao Qiao from behind. The two of them took a closer look, and found that the place where there was rain had already formed. Ice, between heaven and earth, seems to have become icy cold.

Xiao Qiao slammed the lid of the pot vigorously, making a sharp sound of "哐" and "哐". By the time Gu Leng walked to the door of Aunt He's house, some light sleepers in the village had already woken up.

Gu Leng slammed the door of Gu Hai's house hard, Gu Hai, a young man full of vigor and blood, immediately responded. After Gu Leng hastily explained the situation, he followed Xiao Qiao to make a big noise, awakening the sleeping people, and some people woke up. After that, I woke up my family, and then joined Gu Leng and Xiao Qiao in their actions. A group of people, to see whose door was closed and did not make any movement, did not hesitate to "bang", "bang, bang" to smash the door, and some people, seeing or No one responded, and in a panic, he slammed open the door with his body to save the villagers who were about to freeze.

Everyone, at this moment, put aside the tense atmosphere and tense relationship of the previous period, and turned back to being a dear friend who helped each other, and wanted to save the villagers regardless of the return.

Kindness, kindness has always been in people's hearts.
