After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Opening his eyes with a sore back and sore back, seeing someone humming a song in a turbulent mood, Ning Qiyan felt that he was an idiot.

To his love!Get rid of his guilt!

Du Cheng turned his head with a feeling, just in time to meet Ning Qiyan's opened eyes.

Ning Qiyan felt that his eyes were going to be blinded by the brilliance of Du Cheng's face.

"What time is it?" Ning Qiyan asked hoarsely.

Du Cheng immediately poured a glass of warm water and helped Ning Qiyan up.

"It's less than two o'clock."

...It's less than two o'clock, so it seems to be very early.

Ning Qiyan moistened his throat with the water glass, took out warm clothes from under the blanket, and put them on.He could already think of the teasing eyes of Ning Xiaowen and Hu Zi after entering the space for a while.

Sure enough, after getting dressed, he dragged Du Cheng into the space to have a late lunch, with a bearded face the whole time.

...and Brother Xiaowen, can you put away that "I really didn't guess anything" expression? !

After eating, Ning Qiyan washed the dishes as quickly as possible, and dragged Du Cheng back to the cave.

As soon as we returned to the cave, before we could breathe a sigh of relief, we vaguely heard the sound of the government's announcement horn.Ning Qiyan tightened the hand holding Du Cheng's wrist, and hurried to the door.

"...Xue, please... Xun..."

Across the door, the voice of the announcement was still unclear, Ning Qiyan stretched out his hand to open the door.

Du Cheng grabbed Ning Qiyan.The clothes they are wearing now are fine in the cave and space, but they cannot withstand the low temperature of more than minus 30 degrees outside the door.

He took the cotton coat and trousers hanging by the door, put them on, and then put on a rabbit fur coat. After they were dressed, Du Cheng opened the door.

Only a crack in the door was exposed, and the howling cold wind directly hit the two of them in the face with white snowflakes sandwiched between them.

Du Cheng pushed Ning Qiyan back, and stood at the half-open door against the wind and snow and listened intently.

"...Inspectors! Snow disaster warning! Starting this afternoon, City D will face the biggest snowstorm since the beginning of winter, which is expected to last for three to five days. Please prepare for the cold, and it is forbidden to go out during the snowstorm. The government will arrange inspection personnel Go to the homes of citizens to inspect, and if you need supplies urgently, you can report to the inspectors, again! It is forbidden to go out during the snowstorm! If there is any situation, report to the inspectors in time! Snow disaster warning! Starting this afternoon..."

Making sure he didn't miss anything, Du Cheng squinted against the wind and snow and glanced at the yard. The snow in the yard was almost half a person's height. He remembered that when he came out to look at it this morning, it hadn't even reached his thighs.

"What are you doing! Come in!" After listening to the broadcast, Ning Qiyan saw that Du Cheng was still standing at the door, and hurriedly pulled him into the room.

Not to mention that Du Cheng was standing at the door all the time, even if he was standing in the room, after such a short time, his face would be numb from the cold.

After closing the door, Ning Qiyan took off his fur coat, and helped Du Cheng, whose hands were stiff, take off his coat.

In less than two to three minutes, a thick layer of snowflakes hung on Du Cheng's clothes near the door.

The cotton-padded clothes and trousers on his body were not in a hurry to take off. After such a short time, the temperature in the cave dropped sharply, and the thermometer on the wall dropped from 21 degrees above zero to [-] degrees below zero in an instant.

Du Cheng squatted next to the earthen stove and added firewood to it. After filling it up, he clapped his hands and stood up.

"Go back to the space for a while."

Ning Qiyan nodded, took Du Chenghan's icy hand and returned to the space.

Ning Xiaowen was adding firewood to the earthen stove in the yard when he saw a figure suddenly appearing out of the corner of his eye. When he turned his head, he saw two people wearing thick cotton clothes and trousers with flushed cheeks from the cold.

"What's the matter?" Ning Xiaowen stood up and asked in surprise, while asking, he dragged the two of them into the room.

Ning Qiyan didn't feel warm until he was on the hot kang, and when he touched Du Cheng's hands and face, it also started to warm up.

"It's snowing heavily outside, and the broadcast warning said that this blizzard may last for three to five days, so everyone should take precautions against the cold, and the government will also arrange people to officially start inspections." Ning Qiyan took off his cotton coat and trousers, and took a sip of hot water Water, just say.

"What's wrong with the cave? Why are you freezing like this?" Ning Xiaowen asked worriedly. Obviously, the two of them had just left after eating, and he hadn't had the time to add firewood.

Ning Qiyan smiled wryly: "The cave is fine, I couldn't hear it clearly through the gate, so we opened the door and listened for 2 minutes."

Ning Xiaowen stared, not knowing what to say.

Beard patted Ning Xiaowen, and sat next to Du Cheng: "Wait for you to take a moment, then let's go to the platform to get more coal and firewood."

Du Cheng nodded, and moved his fingers. Just now, he was suddenly frozen, and after alternating cold and hot, his hands are now a little itchy.

"Let me go, put it in the space, save you two going up and down several times. This time we can go out and wear more. Usually it's just that the temperature is low and the wind is not so strong. It feels like the flesh will be scraped off." Ning Qiyan interrupted.

After listening, Ning Xiaowen opened the closet and started looking for clothes.Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng just took a few clothes they usually wear and put them in the cave, and most of the rest were still in the closet here.

Cotton boots and socks, sweater and wool trousers, cotton trousers, cotton hat and cotton gloves, plus down vest and fur coat.

After the four changed their clothes, you looked at me and I looked at you, and couldn't help laughing.

Or how to call it: beautiful and moving.If you want to keep people from freezing, no matter how handsome your face is, no matter how good your body is dressed like a hairball, you will not be handsome.

"Hurry up, I'm starting to sweat." Hu Zi pulled the hat on his head and said to Ning Qi.

Ning Qiyan nodded.

Entering the cave, because the time is too short, the temperature of the cave has just risen to minus [-] degrees.

The rope ladder from the cave entrance to the platform is frozen hard, and you can feel the piercing chill through your gloves.The four climbed down carefully. Du Cheng and Hu Zi took the shovel and shoveled away the frozen coal pile first.Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen first put the bundled firewood on the other side into the space.After loading nearly twenty bundles in one breath, the two stopped, and then went to put the shoveled coal into bags.

The coal pile was too frozen, and the four of them took turns tossing for more than two hours before they felt that it was almost done.

After returning to the cave, they were not in a hurry to enter the space, leaving Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen to pile some coal and firewood into the half of the cave used as the bathroom, while Hu Zi and Du Cheng wore thick clothes and carried Take the broom to the yard to clear the snow from the yard.

According to the time of the broadcast, it is estimated that the inspection should start tomorrow, so when Du Cheng and Hu Zi came back after sweeping the snow after dark, the four of them simply entered the space.

After a warm sleep, the four of them packed up their things and moved into the cave early in the morning.

Until the end of the inspection, no matter where you live at night during this period, at least there must be traces of four people living together in the cave.The new kang was not as big as the one in the space, and it was just right for two big men to sleep. Four people would definitely not be able to sleep, so it was close to the kang. Their spare rice bowls are also placed by the wall for display.

The four of them drank a pot of porridge, and each drank a large bowl of ginger soup. Then they got dressed and opened the cave gate with a broom and shovel.

As soon as the door was opened, the wind and snow blowing on the face made it hard to keep your eyes open.Ning Qiyan pulled the scarf outside the mask, stuffed the place where there was a bit of air leakage near the ears into the hat, and then looked carefully at the yard.

The pure white of the mountains and plains and the snowflakes flying in the sky are such a pure and magnificent scene... It would be great if there was no such strong wind... Ning Qiyan supported Du Cheng's arm and tried to stand still.

The snow is still not thick enough, it only reaches the waist, if it is covered all the way to the neck, it shouldn't be swayed by the wind... Ning Qiyan pulled out Xueli's leg silently, and walked forward with difficulty.

"Are you sure you two swept all the snow in the yard yesterday?" Ning Xiaowen turned his head and shouted to Hu Zi who was locking the door.

The voice was blown to pieces by the wind, and Ning Qiyan, who was only two steps away from him, couldn't hear what he said at all.

Huzi looked down at the snow on his waist and rolled his eyes.With such a strong wind, no matter how clean the yard is, the snow from other places cannot be blown over.But we still have to sweep. If the snow in the yard stays for too long and is frozen solid, it will be impossible to open the door.

Du Cheng took the broom and cleared the doorway enough for four people to stay, then gave the broom to Ning Qiyan, and he and Hu Zi took the shovel and shoveled the snow little by little to form snowdrifts.

The four of them cooperated with two sweepers and two shovels, and it took a whole morning to clear the yard. They didn't have time to eat, and shoveled the improvised snowdrift to the edge of the yard while the snowdrift was not frozen.The fence on the edge has been buried by the snow without even a shadow. The snow that swept over yesterday and today is slapped firmly, and it is almost as tall as a person.

Taking advantage of Huzi and Du Cheng patting the snow, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen swept out along the courtyard door.Although there is no need to clean up somewhere, but when Wang Yang and the others come to visit the house or inspectors come up, it is a little bit to be able to clean up.

After sweeping against the snow for a while, Ning Xiaowen straightened his waist and breathed a sigh of relief, and vaguely saw a red figure jumping in the distance through the wind and snow.

Ning Xiaowen squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to realize that it was Wang Yang's cave, and they should have come out to sweep the snow.

Ning Xiaowen raised the broom and waved it high.

Hong Ying, who was still bouncing around, stopped, and then raised a red...broom?

Because of the heavy wind and snow, Ning Xiaowen really couldn't see what the other party was holding, but it was Wang Yang's ability to wrap the broom into red.

"Go back to eat, I'm going to starve to death." After patting the snowdrift, Beard came over with a shovel in his hand. While talking, he followed Ning Xiaowen's line of sight. When he saw Wang Yang and the others, he also raised his hand and waved. wave.

"Let's go." Seeing that Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng were about to go back, Ning Xiaowen put away the broom and turned back together with Hu Zi.

As soon as the door was closed, the four of them slapped each other's frozen snowflakes and icicles two by two.

Apart from the fact that the exposed skin was red from the cold, his body wasn't very cold, his strength was exhausted, and his body had sufficient heat.

The ice and snow on the clothes and hats were patted clean, and then they were laid flat on the kang to dry. Although the cotton trousers were put on waterproof covers made of disposable raincoats before going out, some places may have frozen and then cracked, and the snow water flowed smoothly. The cotton pants seeped through the cracks, and many places were soaked.

Putting the trousers and boots in front of the clay stove to bake, Ning Qiyan added another handful of firewood to the stove.

"Go back and eat or just make do here?"

Ning Xiaowen leaned the dripping broom against the wall, "Eat here, I don't know when I can come over for inspection."

Ning Qiyan looked back at the pile of grain. It would be best to drink a pot of mutton soup when he went out to freeze, but he definitely couldn't make it in the cave. The taste was strong, and he couldn't explain the source.

"I remember that there is still sweet potato powder, let's make a pot of hot and sour powder, add more spice." Seeing that Ning Qiyan didn't move, Ning Xiaowen suggested.

"Okay." Ning Qiyan replied.Put more spicy, chili can also drive away the cold.
