Surviving the end of the world

Chen Jin told the people in the village about the safety base that she had inquired about, and also expressed her guess. If a safety base is established, it is better to be far away from here. .This news made everyone feel irritable.

The older people present all remembered the so-called People’s Commune. Presumably, the situation of this safe base was similar to that of the People’s Commune. At that time, everyone worked hard, but they couldn’t get a full meal. At that time, there were no natural disasters. Now, If the original family's land is requisitioned and becomes shared, can the family still have enough food?The more he thought about it, the uglier the villagers' faces became.

Soon someone became impatient: "Isn't this playing us like monkeys? Before we had no water, no electricity, and no one came here. When the earthquake happened, we didn't even have a person's shadow. As a result, we just talked nonsense and wanted to Let's hand over the land, how can that be done!"

"But we can't deal with the country. Some people have guns. What can we do?"

"You can't be unreasonable if you have a gun!"

"What is reason, the barrel of a gun is reason!"

……

Seeing that the villagers were about to quarrel, the old captain coughed hard: "Okay, I don't know if we will be included, but we have to prepare for the worst, and I don't know What is the regulation of that safe base, can we still stay in the village, if we are brought into the base and broken up, then we will be in big trouble!"

"It shouldn't be like this!" Those who listened to what he said were a little terrified. If it was true, wouldn't life and death be held in the hands of others? Also, wouldn't it be possible to keep the food stored by oneself?

Chen Jin said on the side: "Let's also think about the good. Nowadays, communication is not convenient, and the scale of the security base should not be too large. Maybe we won't be included!"

But Uncle Li said on the side: "That's not sure, what if the security base is actually not one, but divided into several districts, if one or two towns become one district, for the convenience of management, we may really have to I was arranged to live in the place they allocated! This, this is really..."

The villagers sighed when they heard this, and some of them cursed violently. The old team leader lowered his head and pondered for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh: "Forget it, we don't know whether this will be possible or not, let's do it well first." Prepare with both hands, but no matter what, it can't be because of this, the days are over!"

The uncertainty and sense of urgency about the future make everyone feel a bit contradictory. They don’t want their hard work to end up being cheaper for others, but they also can’t waste the work in the field because of this, so that they can’t support their own families in the end. people.

Fortunately, they went out in time, the temperature rose again, and, compared to last year, the sun at this time was already unbearably hot. As soon as the sun came out in the morning, a little exposure could peel off a layer of skin. Weather, I could see a few sparrows jumping and looking for something to eat before, but now I can't even see the sparrows during the day.

In winter, the bedroom and kitchen can be put together to keep warm. Once the temperature rises, it will be a pure suffering.Although everyone reversed the biological clock again and came out at night, the temperature did not drop at night, there was no wind at all, and the leaves on the trees were hanging dry, almost like a still life painting, with no movement at all.This made everyone worry about the drought again. The first thing people do when they get up every day is to look at the well water. Whether it is psychological factors or the actual situation, they feel that the water level has been dropping. People have to start thinking of ways to store water. Every day If I don't fill up the big basins and buckets that can hold water at home before going to bed, I dare not close my eyes.

However, within half a month, the storm suddenly struck, making people feel caught off guard.

"It should be a typhoon!" People in the coastal areas are not uncommon for typhoons. Every year, two or three tropical cyclones land from the south and pass by here. Generally, the duration will not be long.Sitting inside the door, Chen Jin couldn't help frowning as she watched a tree being broken by the strong wind not far away.

There are no weather satellites nowadays. If you look at satellite cloud images, anyone who knows a little will notice that one tropical cyclone after another is forming in the Pacific Ocean, and they are almost continuously heading north. Unfortunately, no one has Know.

Bai Jing twitched his nose, with a serious expression on his face: "A Jin, I'm afraid the rain will hardly stop!"

Chen Jin was taken aback, but he had no doubts about Bai Jing's ability. As a spirit beast, his premonition was rather keen. Since Bai Jing said that, he immediately thought of the flood. Bai Jing even used the word "difficult" , indicating that the amount of rainfall this time is definitely a terrifying number. The series of natural disasters before made Chen Jin have little trust in the original fire prevention measures. You must know that they are less than two towns to the south, which is the Yangtze River. It is conceivable that if the flood breaks out, their place will definitely be a disaster area.

Thinking of this, Chen Jin couldn't help feeling a toothache. I really don't know if these houses made of yellow mud can withstand the impact of the flood!

After two or three days of torrential rain, the river almost overflowed the river bank, and there was already quite a lot of water in the slightly lower terrain, and it still couldn't drain out.Seeing that the rain hadn’t stopped yet, everyone knew something was wrong, and one by one began to think of ways to build earth dams in front of their houses, that is, to block the door with sacks filled with sand, gravel and soil, and add a few more layers to the top. It can prevent water from overflowing into the house, and if there is water in the house, it can also find a way to dump it in time.The adults are so busy that they have no time to take care of the children, so they can only sit in the wooden tub wearing raincoats, so that even if there is stagnant water, they cannot be submerged.

This is only part of the trouble, because of the continuous rain, the haystacks have been drenched with rain, and even if they are barely lit, the smoke can choke people to death. Cooking has become a torture every day, and the kitchen is always smoky. Yes, it's breathless.There is also the problem of sanitation. Generally, pigs and sheep are kept indoors. Now it is raining heavily, and chickens and ducks are also kept in the house. In the past, flushing with water every day can solve the problem of excrement. Now there is no shortage of water. However, the latrines were flooded, and some families with unreasonable latrines had foul-smelling feces poured into their homes along the previously reserved drainpipes. How could they survive this day.

On the face of it, Chen Jinming just raised a few chickens. Now that the feathers of those chickens haven't fully grown, Chen Jin simply threw them into the space, and said to the public that he didn't pay attention for a while, and the chickens died in the rain.But the latrine is also a problem. The latrine of Chen Jin’s house is behind the house, and the terrain is not high. The back of the house has been submerged by water, and the latrine is no exception. Chen Jin simply built a one-meter-high building at the back door. As long as the rain does not come in, even the back door will not be opened.

The rain doesn't mean to stop at all. It's raining heavily outside, and it's raining lightly in the house. There is no quicklime for disinfection, and no anti-inflammatory drugs for sterilization. Many people are sick. People with a little strength are trying to find a way. On the plains, there are not even places with a slightly higher terrain, let alone a dry place to put food or something.

The wind has gradually subsided, but the rain is still falling. Fortunately, it can barely support it by relying on the dam, but it is already impossible to go out.

Chen Jin wore a raincoat and climbed up to the roof with a ladder. The house has been leaking more and more recently. After all, Chen Jin is not a professional mason, so it is difficult to solve this problem, so he can only hold a plastic sheet to cover it. The rain in the house should not be too intensive.

Chen Jin is not the only one who does this. Many people on the roof are using various methods to prevent rainwater from dripping into the house. A thick layer can also alleviate the situation of rain leakage.

Li Lin stood on the roof of their house and greeted Chen Jin. Chen Jin's five senses are now sharp, and he can clearly see the worried look on Li Lin's face. Li Lin wiped the rainwater off his face with his hand and raised his voice Asked: "Cousin, do you still have old ginger at home?"

Chen Jin nodded: "Yes, what's the matter at home?"

Li Lin sighed: "Then cousin, can I go to your place to get two yuan later? Xinxin has caught a cold and is running a fever right now!" He said with a worried look on his face.

Chen Jin responded simply: "Okay, you can get it later!"

Li Lin forced a little smile: "Well, thank you cousin first!" Children's problems are the most troublesome. Nowadays, there are no doctors and no conventional medicines. I have my own immunity to resist.

Li Lin quickly came over with a bathtub. Chen Jin had already taken two pieces of old ginger. After thinking about it, he took a small half bag of brown sugar and wrapped it in a plastic bag, and handed it over: "Take it back and boil some ginger for Xinxin Brown sugar tea, the child is urgent!"

Li Lin thanked him repeatedly. These days, there is nowhere to buy brown sugar and the like. Even if it is just such a small amount, it is also a great kindness.

Xinxin is not the only one who has a fever, many people have suffered from the cold in the continuous rainstorm, and many older people, they worked hard when they were young and didn't know how to take care of it, so most of them have some physical problems, such as arthritis Yes, in this rainy weather, those who are in poor health have joint pains that make them almost unable to get out of bed.Coupled with the poor sanitary conditions, some mosquitoes and flies have also multiplied, and it is a blessing that there is no plague.

There are all kinds of messy things floating in the big water, broken wood pieces, branches and grass leaves, and some animals and even human corpses. The most distressing thing is the corn seedlings and sweet potato vines floating in the water. .

It rained for half a month, and it took another seven or eight days before the water receded completely. Several people looked at the washed-out farmland and the rotting crops, knelt down on the ground and cried bitterly. The sound of crying is also contagious. Yes, crying soon came out of the village. The old captain walked out with a bamboo pole, swung the bamboo pole and hit the backs of a few people who were kneeling on the ground crying, and cursed in a hoarse voice: "Why are you crying? Aren't people dead? What's the use of crying? Get rid of the things that need to be cleaned up quickly. It's impossible for people to die of plague before they starve to death!"
