The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

Lin Yang glanced outside, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, but the sun was still high in the sky, showing no tendency to go down, so he simply said, "I'm not going, you should rest at home and wait for the temperature to drop."

Perhaps because of the hot weather, Lin Chen was particularly irritable: "Take a break, everyone in our house is staying on the first floor now, and the second floor can still go up for a walk. The third floor, my God, is like an oven, you guys The house is only one floor, isn't it even more tanned?"

Houses built with cement are not as breathable and cool as the mud brick houses of the past, especially the cement conducts heat quickly, and when the sun is strong, the floor can be fried like eggs.

Therefore, in summer, people who have built a new house with several floors will choose to move downstairs to sleep. Of course, if there is an air conditioner, the impact will not be great, but from the description of Lin Chen’s house, you know that the air conditioner upstairs is no longer working. , only the family can squeeze together on the first floor.

Lin Yang didn't want to reveal the strangeness of his house, so he laughed and said: "It's okay, our house is on the mountain, surrounded by trees, it's not as hot as your house, if it's too hot, we can move to The old house, the old house is very cool."

"Oh, you still have the foresight." Lin Chen guessed that he really had nothing to do at home, so he chatted with him on the phone: "Did you not read the group news again?"

"Where are you free? The rice harvested this morning is piled up at home. I have a big head now. If you have something to do, tell me quickly. I'll hang up if it's nothing. It's annoying!"

"Hey, you kid, don't be tempted to go out to dry the millet, don't mess around!" Hearing what he said, Lin Chen became even more anxious: "Just at noon today, when you came home, didn't you post a picture of the fish in the fish pond? Is it a photo of being turned over by the heat? The fish pond belongs to Lin Qun, but you also know that kid is a lazy guy. He wanted to go out to have a look, but he jumped back before taking two steps. He said in the group that he didn't care , If anyone wants to eat fish, he can catch it himself.

Who in the village lacks this kind of fish, not to mention the weather is hot, and the fish has been dead for no one knows how long, so everyone is talking about it, and no one goes there. "

"But Aunt Guoping heard his grandson say at home that the fish in Lin Qun's fishpond are gone, and you know that she is not enough to take advantage of her. No matter how much the family persuades her, she will go out and run away secretly when she is stopped."

Lin Chen's voice became lower and lower: "I only wore a straw hat when I sneaked out, alas! Their family found her on the way, and when they found her, she was already dead."

"Ah! I'm out of breath!"

Both Lin Yang and Wenzhu were taken aback. Regardless of how tragic and serious the situation was on the Internet, but it didn’t happen to him. He always felt that these things had nothing to do with him, but Aunt Guoping was from his village. Love takes advantage, but it is real, the people around you!

"It's not just that," Lin Chen said in a distressed voice, "Aunt Guoping was found by Uncle Guoping. Uncle Guoping lay down when he came back. Although he was dressed in layers when he went out, he was still sunburned. Lin Yuan wanted to drive. Send his father to the hospital, but... Although everyone has not seen what is going on in the hospital, they know it in their hearts."

"Then what's the situation now, has Uncle Guoping been sent to the hospital?" Lin Yang asked, since he was a villager anyway.

"Send it, Lin Yuan and his cousin Lin Hai sent it together, but it is said that they are still blocked at the entrance of the hospital and can't get in. They even took a photo of the hospital and sent it back. Anyway, alas! Don't let yourself get hurt, go now Hospitals are harder than heaven..."

The two talked about some other things in the village before hanging up the phone. Wen Zhu had already swiped out the group photos that Lin Chen talked about with his mobile phone.

The hospital has now become a hell on earth, with wailing wounded lying everywhere, but there are still a steady stream of people being sent to the hospital.

The Internet is also messy, all kinds of pictures are no longer coded, and more similar photos are posted, and the network security management personnel have no time to deal with them.

After reading a few photos, Lin Yang and Wenzhu put down their phones. The news and rumors on the Internet became more scary and confusing, as if overnight, the world turned upside down. They were not familiar with it at all of that world. "No, it will definitely be chaotic." Lin Yang and Wenzhu decided to move all the important things of their house to the basement.

When Lin Yang built the house, he never thought about building a basement, but he couldn't stand the repeated demands of Asparagus, so he dug a room underground, which can go down from the stairwell, about [-] square meters.

There must be disasters after the disaster, but no matter what, food and medicine are absolutely necessary, and they are not short of food. Last year, there were still more than 2000 catties of old grain, and this year, more than 3000 have been pocketed. There are so many There is food, even if there is no harvest in the future, they will not be short of food in two or three years.

Because there is a child in the family, there are basic medicines at home, such as cold medicine, fever medicine, painkiller, alcohol, gauze...they are all available, and the date is still very new, so there will be no problem within half a year.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and clothes are not very urgent. Their family will not be short of them for a while, even if they are missing, where can they get them now?

They have built their own houses, so it is not absolutely safe, but staying at home is definitely more at ease than in other places.

When traveling, they have their own cars, but they don’t have much gasoline and diesel at home. It is estimated that there is only one tank of gas at most, but the tricycle can be pedaled. If there is no gas at that time, the tricycle can also be used.

The two summed it up at home, and they felt that there was nothing wrong with it, not just their family, as long as they lived in the mountains or in the countryside, as long as there was no danger from outside, they could stay at home for a year or so, two or two months a month. The moon is really nothing.

But the two had considered everything, and they didn't expect a sudden power outage.

The two looked at each other in blank dismay, and before they could figure out what to do, the twins had already woken up from the heat.

"Dad, it's so hot. Why doesn't the fan turn on?" Cheng Zi came out of the room wearing shorts, shirtless, and rubbing his sleepy eyes. Rolled directly to the mat on the floor.

Youzi was dressed the same as him, but compared to his younger brother who only yelled that it was hot, Yuzi stepped on the small bench to turn the switch. He wanted to turn on the big ceiling fan hanging in the living room, but he didn't expect it to turn on even once.

How is this movement so skillful?

"Father?" Yuzu's small face was full of doubts: Why isn't the fan turning?

Asparagus: "There's no electricity!"

"Then I'm going to turn on the air conditioner." Cheng Zi hurriedly got up to get the remote control, but all the switches were pressed, and no cool breeze came out.

"Don't turn it!" Yuzu pointed to the fan for a while, and the air conditioner for a while.

"It's already said that the battery is out, how do you turn it on." Wen Zhu took Yuzu off the bench and patted his little butt: "I said that the big fan in the living room has been used several times, and I have never turned it on. Why? I will open it by myself, so it was you two little things, didn’t they let you step on the stool, why are you always disobedient.”

"Dad, what is no electricity?" Cheng Zi lied on the mat like a little pug and asked, "When will the fan and air conditioner come back? I miss them, woo woo..."

It is estimated that he did not sleep well, this kid is still a little angry to wake up.

"They also need to rest. You have let them transfer for a whole day today. They are all tired. They will get up and work when they have a rest."

Lin Yang wanted to hug this little fat fish-like son to comfort him, but he put his hands down when he thought that his body was covered with grain hair.

Asparagus also put the grapefruit on the mat. Seeing her two sons sleepy, she was a little anxious but had no choice but to take a bottle of mineral water frozen into ice cubes from the bottom of the refrigerator and put it in a small basin. The small basin was placed near them.

"Wow, it's so cool!" Cheng Zi's eyes lit up, and he reached out to hold the ice cubes of mineral water into his arms.

Wenzhu patted his hand off and warned him: "Don't move, just put it here, if you don't obey, I will take it away."

"Yeah." Cheng Zi answered aggrievedly: "Okay!"

In fact, they were not too hot in the room at all. Lin Yang checked the indoor thermometer, and it was about 31 degrees. Although it was not the best indoor temperature, the two adults felt that they could bear it even without the air conditioner fan turned on.

However, the twins have never suffered from this kind of suffering since they were born. They are rural children, but they have been exposed to basic electrical appliances such as fans, air conditioners, TVs and washing machines since childhood.

Although they are small, Asparagus seldom let them use the air conditioner, but the fan must be turned on all the time. In addition to the big fan at home, they also have a variety of small fans, rechargeable, battery-installed, and hand-cranked. ...is both a toy and a cool breeze

Huh, small fan?Yuzu suddenly opened her eyes, thinking of a small fan that can turn itself without plugging in electricity, and stumbled to the room to find her small schoolbag.

But since I haven't gone to school for a long time, I don't know where the schoolbag was thrown, not to mention, this kid hid it on purpose, and now I can't find it at all.

He looked around in a hurry, but couldn't find his own. He saw Chengzi's schoolbag, and Yuzu took out a small palm-sized fan from Chengzi's schoolbag, and pressed the switch, hey, it was turning.

This kind of fan is rechargeable. Although it looks like a toy, the wind is not bad. Grapefruit holding the small fan feels happy.

"This is my fan." Cheng Zi ran over, fearing that his brother would not give it to him, he turned around and pointed to the two fathers: "Dad, big dad, this is my fan, the yellow one is mine, My brother's fan is blue."

Asparagus asked: "Yuzi, where's your little fan?"

"I do not know!"

"Then you return the fan to your brother."

Hearing Dad's answer, Yuzu's ears drooped.

"You go to find your own fan. If you can't find it, discuss it with your brother and ask him if he would lend it to you. You can't grab it, and you can't fight!"

"I don't!" Ignoring his brother's hopeful expression, Cheng Zi sat in the far corner with a small fan in his arms.
