Chapter 269: The Last Passerby
Shen Dalong pondered for a long time, but still felt that he should talk to the village chief.
He went out again in a thick down jacket.
Shen Linxian sent him out of the door, and glanced back at the thermometer, which showed that it was almost minus thirty degrees.
Rao is Shen Linxian has an extraordinary heart, and he can't help but feel trembling because of such a low temperature.
The temperature dropped too fast, just in a day or two, it dropped from minus 20 to 30 degrees below zero, and if it dropped again, it would be so cold that no one would want to go out.
While thinking, Shen Linxian entered the house.
Bai Jing called Shen Wei to make dumplings again.
The dumplings are very fragrant, with mutton, radish and chopped green onion and ginger, and a lot of seasonings, and you can smell the fragrant fragrance from afar.
Bai Jing rolled out the slices, and Shen Wei made dumplings, but after a while, she had already wrapped dozens of dumplings like white and chubby ingots.
Shen Linxian washed his hands and went over to help.
The dumplings were wrapped, and Shen Dalong hadn't come back yet, so Bai Jing warmed the water on the stove, and waited for Shen Dalong to come back to cook the dumplings while guarding the stove.
Shen Linxian and Shen Wei were fine, the two of them sat on the side with melon seeds and chatted.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Shen Dalong came back.
He froze so hard that he shivered when he entered the door.
Shen Linxian hurriedly served him hot tea and let him drink two large jars of hot tea, which eased his strength.
Bai Jing was busy cooking dumplings, and Shen Linxian asked Shen Dalong what the village chief said over there.
Shen Dalong sighed: "The village chief is good, and he believes what I said, but the big guys don't believe it, they all say that on such a cold day, who will run to our village to grab things, but they don't want to think about it, no matter how cold the day is, people can't live anymore, who cares if it's cold or hot when they are about to starve to death." ”
"What then?" Bai Jing was anxious when she heard it.
Shen Dalong sat down: "The village chief said that he had finally moved the big guy, just in case, every family sent a laborer to build the wall, and now the weather is too cold, and the bricks and stones can't build the wall, so they can only take ice and snow." ”
Han Yang got up and said, "I'll go tomorrow, I'm young and strong." ”
Shen Linxian handed dumplings to Bai Jing: "I'll go the day after tomorrow, let's take turns to work." ”
Shen Wei smiled: "Then I'll go the day after tomorrow." ”
Shen Dalong and Bai Jing didn't say anything.
Although they felt sorry for Shen Linxian and Shen Wei, the two girls, still had to do this kind of hard work, but the world was like this, and keeping the two girls at home would only harm them.
Bai Jing cooked the dumplings, Shen Linxian took the bowl and went over, Bai Jing fished it out, and she served it on the table.
Shen Wei scooped out some vinegar-pickled cabbage and garlic and put them on a plate and served them on the table, Bai Jing mixed the boiled peanuts and brought them over, took two wine cups over, and poured a glass of wine for Han Yang and Shen Dalong: "You two drink some bars, warm and warm." ”
Han Yang thanked him and clinked glasses with Shen Dalong with his wine cup.
Shen Dalong drank wine and ate two dumplings, and praised while eating: "Dumplings are wine, the more you drink, the more you have, these dumplings are really delicious." ”
Shen Linxian also said: "Mom's dumplings are delicious." ”
Bai Jing was praised happily, and kept sandwiching dumplings for a few people.
After eating the dumplings, Shen Linxian felt warm, she went back to the house and took a book, came over to watch the stove to read, and read the book for about two hours, and then went back to the house with Han Yang to sleep.
The next day, Han Yang got up early in the morning.
Shen Linxian didn't alarm others, he got up early and made him breakfast, and waited for Han Yang to send him out when he was full.
It was surprisingly cold in the morning, and Han Yang met several people along the way, all of whom were wearing thick down jackets, hats to protect ears, and masks and scarves, and the whole person was tightly wrapped.
These people all walked quietly in the snow, and when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they began to assemble, and then the village chief assigned tasks, which people did what in a group.
Han Yang, Wang Yong and Wang Ping's son Wang Zhi were divided into a group, and they were responsible for the section of the wall at the entrance of the village, which was about ten meters in total, and it was necessary to build a thick base and a high base.
Everyone came with tools, and Han Yang was no exception.
He shoveled the snow with a shovel, shoveled the snow and put it in the place where the village chief had specially found someone to measure it, and then carefully photographed it, and worked so hard that by noon, the three of them had already built several meters long.
At noon, everyone went home for dinner, and after eating, they hurried to build a section before dark, and finally completed the task before dark.
Then Shen Linxian and Shen Wei went out to work separately.
Although they are women, they don't admit defeat, and they are no worse than men in their work, which makes the villagers who wanted to say anything shut up.
After working hard for half a month, the entire village was finally surrounded by a snow wall.
Of course, it is the villagers' settlements that are fenced off, and the land in the village is not included.
In fact, it is useless to fence the ground at this time, the ground is covered with snow, and there is nothing at all, and even if others come, they will not find anything useful.
The walls of the village were put up, and the temperature dropped to more than minus 40 degrees.
Shangzhuang Village is not a bitter cold village, according to the older generation, it seems that the lowest temperature in a hundred years is only about minus ten degrees, and the temperature suddenly drops to more than minus 40 degrees, which is really unbearable.
Unless necessary, people usually stay in the house and don't go out.
Of course, there are also people who have coal or something to burn coal, although the house is not as warm as the heating in previous years, but it is always frozen to death.
A few days later, on this day, Shen Linxian and Bai Jing were discussing making beef hot pot when they heard the horn in the village sound.
The family quickly put on their padded jackets and ran out.
When I ran out, I saw that the whole village was running towards the entrance of the village as if they were dying.
Shen Linxian also followed, and ran out for a while to find out what was going on.
It turned out that the gangsters who had been released last time had returned, and this time, they had brought a lot of people, hundreds of crows, and so many of them gathered at the entrance of the village in Shangzhuang, clamoring for the villagers to send food.
"." Shen Dalong scolded and pulled out a gun from his waist: "Lao Tzu wants to see which of the eight lambs is dying." ”
The family ran to the entrance of the village, Shen Linxian stepped on the steps of the snow barrier and glanced at the wall, and saw a group of people outside, these people were scolding, and some were knocking on these snow walls with sticks.
"Can't let them destroy the wall......"
Only then did the people in the village know that they were afraid.
Others began to complain about the soft-hearted people at the beginning, and that they should not have proposed to release the gangsters and bring such a big disaster to the village.
Others looked at Shen Dalong gratefully.
If Shen Dalong hadn't proposed to build a snow wall, I was afraid that the people in the village would have suffered by this time.
When the wall was built, everyone still complained that Shen Dalong was troubled and made everyone suffer and freeze work, but now they feel very happy.
