After the fog, I became a birdman

Chapter 13 The Season of Fog

At the same time as the power failure, the water soon stopped. Su Qing put the full water tank in the space, and covered the newly replaced one and put it in the kitchen for reuse tomorrow.

He had never been to the burned place, and Su Qing didn't know where it was burned, but seeing the black smoke coming out of the house, he didn't know what was going on inside.

Su Qing reckoned that the electricity was out tonight, so he opened the curtains to expose the balcony door and windows, and then turned on the flashlight to check supplies in the second bedroom.

The firewood piled up half the room, leaving a passage from the door to the window, with firewood on the left and other supplies on the right.

He bought more cans and piled them all the way outside the door. Su Qing counted them and found that the quantity was much higher, definitely more than 10 yuan.

The rice noodles were finally moved to the kitchen by Qi Jiang, so there were only cans and firewood in the second bedroom. There were some cans, disinfectant, mineral water and other supplies that could not fit in the door. The total count was at least 2 yuan.

He checked again and found that there were still five boxes of peanut oil behind the door?There are still a bunch of things like biscuits, instant noodles, etc. in the cabinet?

Su Qing was sure that Qi Jiang had miscalculated, so he hurried over to knock on the door, and when Qi Jiang opened the door, he hurriedly asked, "Brother Jiang, you gave me too many supplies."

Qi Jiang was puzzled, so he followed him to see, and Su Qing counted for him all: "I didn't buy peanut oil, instant noodles, biscuits, ham sausage, etc. The canned food seems to be one-fifth too much, and the mineral water is too much Ten pieces, more sunscreen..."

Qi Jiang scanned around, but he didn't expect Su Qing to remember it so clearly, but he remained calm, and he explained after Su Qing finished the calculation: "Not much, I didn't bargain for the price except firewood, I cut a lot of others, then There is still a little money left for oil, so I'll just buy it for you."

Su Qing didn't quite believe it: "Is it so cheap? Doesn't it mean that the price will be more expensive?"

Have it?Did he say that?

Qi Jiang thought about it for a few seconds, and vaguely remembered that he was afraid that Su Qing would refuse to add such a sentence, but since everything was brought over, he naturally couldn't take it back.

"I went to buy it with a dozen people. If you buy more, there is a discount. I also introduced a few people, and there are rebates. You know, most of these things were produced before, and the wholesale price is definitely cheaper than the food distribution point. "

Su Qing was dubious. Seeing this, Qi Jiang said again: "The list I gave you is the boss's quotation, not the final price. Don't think too much about it. I'm not stupid. I'm still sending you supplies?"

"I thought you made a mistake." Su Qing finally believed his words.

Qi Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, the substation is on fire. Looking at the power of dark matter now, we estimate that there will be no electricity for a long time. I have a generator over there. I will move it here. You use it."

"You also bought a generator?"

"Backup." Qi Jiang turned around and went back, and quickly brought a small gasoline generator over. It looked like it hadn't been used, and it seemed that Qi Jiang just bought it not long ago.

Afraid that Su Qing would not want it, Qi Jiang rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "I don't know how to cook, can I come over for a meal these two days? If you trust me, give me your ID card, and I'll help you buy it." Vegetables, let’s stock up on some fresh vegetables, which happens to be available in the refrigerator.”

"The generator was given to me, what about your side?"

"I'm too lazy to use it on my side. The weather is neither hot nor cold. It doesn't matter if the heating and air conditioner are turned on or not." Qi Jiang went over and took gasoline to fill it up, and put it in the kitchen to help Su Qing connect the electricity, " Just put it on your side, seeing that dark matter can corrode everything now, I guess this thing won’t last long, and it will last a day.”

That's right, even the substation burned down, so the generator probably won't last long.

"Do you want me to find someone to replace the range hood in your house?" Qi Jiang remembered that the range hood was broken again, "But you need to put away these supplies at the door of your room."

"I'll close it tonight, and I won't change the range hood."

"Let me help you." Qi Jiang was afraid that he would be tired, so he started to move things again, "Where to put them?"

"Let's put it in the living room, there are not many things." Su Qing pointed to the corner of the living room, which is next to the kitchen, so it is easy to use.

Qi Jiang helped him tidy up his things, Su Qing also fixed the wiring of the generator, put the refrigerator back into use, and while Qi Jiang was busy, put some vegetables in it that would not spoil for a while.

Such as pumpkin, sausage and the like.

Qi Jiang tidied things up quickly, and closed the door of the second bedroom by the way. Taking advantage of this time, Su Qing took out a large earthen jar of salted duck eggs from the kitchen: "Brother Jiang, take these salted duck eggs over there. Well, it’s just right to eat at the end of the month.”

"Let it go, I won't do it anyway." Qi Jiang didn't want his stuff.

"Just boil it in water."

Qi Jiang wanted to say that he didn't plan to do it himself because he came here to eat, but he was afraid that Su Qing would think that he was too shameless, so he could only nod: "Okay."

"Then I'll call you after cooking."

"Want to help?" Qi Jiang stopped again.

Su Qing was going to cook, but he had a lot to do, so he didn't intend to let Qi Jiang stay here, so he had to find an excuse that he wanted to take a shower before cooking.

"There's no hot water right now?" Qi Jiang thought he was going to take a bath in cold water, "It's so cold, taking cold water is not good for your health."

"I have prepared a thermos." Su Qing saw the tricks and lied without blinking.

Qi Jiang didn't expect him to be so witty, and he didn't doubt it, and left with the salted duck eggs in his arms. After he closed the door, Su Qing started cooking.

In the evening, the two had dinner together again, and after dinner, Su Qing asked Qi Jiang to bring a bucket to fetch water: "Brother Jiang, I heated a pot of water, you can use these to take a bath, it's cold, it's better to wash with hot water. "

Qi Jiang went back with a smile, fetched a bucket of hot water and took a shower. He even took the clothes and put them in the washing machine with Su Qing's for washing. It feels good to have no electricity.

No, he is only one step away from entering the hall.

Because there was no electricity, people who went to work nearby came back early. Naturally, they were happy after get off work, but they started to get upset when they came back.

Without electricity, you can’t cook, and you can’t take a bath, but people are iron and rice is steel. If you don’t eat a meal, you’ll be hungry. You can take a cold shower when you take a bath. Going to school, let alone starving.

How do you cook without electricity?It can only be cooked with firewood, and the furniture at home is naturally reluctant, so I can only wear masks and gloves, spray disinfectant, and go out with a flashlight to collect firewood.

The city is not like the countryside, so there is definitely not much firewood, so we can only look for it in the green belt. There is more than one person with foresight, and some people have already come down to bring dead branches home when the power went out for the first time.

Although the green belt is not small, and there is a lot of firewood left, but there are many people in the community, and the hands are fast, and the hands are slow, and those who come slowly can only look at the empty soil and sigh.

The green belt in the community has been uprooted, and there are still trees beside the road, no matter how bad it is.

Now who cares whether you are fined or not, some bold ones directly bought knives to chop trees, wielding long knives and axes, no one dared to stop them.

In just one night, the residents took all the remaining dead branches of the surrounding area and the green belt of the road outside, and only a few dead trees remained.

Burning a fire is the first time for many city people. Some people are satisfied with bringing back enough branches for one night. They think that at most they can buy a generator or something, or buy a gas tank to use when they come back. It is more convenient than burning wood.

Some people cut down trees with tools such as newly bought axes, and the whole family goes into battle, and they are satisfied only by dragging a tree home.

Some people share a tree with several families. In short, let's spend the time when there is no electricity.

It is easy to cut down trees, but for the residents of high floors, it is very difficult to take the trees home. In modern society, most people are in a sub-health state, and they are usually busy with work, and it is impossible to lie down. Sit, never stand if you can sit, usually used to take the elevator, now let them bring such a heavy thing home, it is really fatal.

Those who are diligent drag the firewood back abruptly, preferring to take a few more trips, and those who are lazy simply put it downstairs, or find a place to hide it. When it gets dark, put it under the car, and hide it first, and plan to take it home several times.

Although there is no electricity in the community, important units such as food distribution points and banks are equipped with independent generators. Those who are not equipped have no choice but to close their doors.

Those who line up to buy things buy things, those who withdraw money withdraw money, and those who cut trees cut trees. Everyone is busy, and the surrounding area is like a busy city.

However, no matter how busy they were, everyone remembered when the poisonous death smog came. At ten o'clock, banks, food distribution points and other places were closed on time, and the citizens who felled trees hurried home, cooking and taking a bath in the last two hours.

Because many people don't know how to make a fire, and because they are afraid of fire, everyone cooks on the balcony. When the fire is lit, they realize that they forgot to bring bricks to set up the stove. But where do you get bricks in the urban community?I can only find a way at home.

All of a sudden, every household was bustling with activity, some were going well, while others were running wild.

But no matter what, as soon as twelve o'clock came, every house closed its doors and windows, and everyone was quiet, as if the fog outside was a deadly devil.

Su Qing also did this before, but he opened the doors and windows before going to bed tonight, and soon the house was full of dark matter.

Between Su Qing's breaths, most of the dark matter penetrated into his body, and the small wings on his back flapped slightly, as if he was also breathing.

Shan Shan ate a pile of cat food at noon and was digesting. There was too much dark matter in the house, and he couldn't bear it.

Su Qing woke up with a start, subconsciously picked up the flashlight and ran out.

"Mountain?"

"Meow~!"

Su Qing was a little distressed. Seeing Shanshan's pitiful appearance, she directly opened the lock and hugged Shanshan into her arms, coaxing: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, be good."

After arriving at his side, it seemed that the dark matter became obedient, and Shanshan lay on Su Qing's chest in shock, screaming aggrieved.

Su Qing patted Shan Shan on the back lightly, and brought Shan Shan back to her room.

Shanshan used to be a stray cat. When she was two months old, her mother cat died, and her brothers and sisters were dying of hunger and sick. Su Qing picked them all up, and finally only Shanshan was left.

He raised it hand in hand for a year, during which time Shan Shan fell ill. Su Qing watched it change from a little milk cat who couldn't even eat cat food to a little fat man weighing nine catties. Chong, seeing it so scared, rationally told him that it was not safe to hold the mutating cat, but he was reluctant emotionally.

After keeping his own cat for so long, Su Qing didn't believe that Shanshan would hurt him, and didn't care about any mutations, so he hugged him directly to the bed and slept with Shanshan.

"Meow~" Shanshan called in a low voice, with grievances still in his voice.

"Okay, okay, I won't shut you up in the future." Su Qing stretched out his hand to smooth the hair, and after a while, he calmed down Shanshan, and one person and one cat slept next to each other.
