Chapter 87: First Snow
The night is slightly cool, the west wind is cold, the sky is dark, and the wheel is on the side, waiting for the general to break Loulan and Le Ma Yanshan.
Lonely dreams, parting tears, lovesickness and sorrow to return home, vaguely high hall gray hair, wanderers return home.
The northwest wind outside the window blew all night, and as soon as it was dawn, Zhang Junbao got up from the bed.
As soon as the door was opened, it was covered in silver, and his eyes were full of snow white.
It was snowing.
The small courtyard is covered with a thick layer of snow, and there is a string of ice hangings on the eaves, long with thorns, which looks quite interesting.
The cold wind blew into the house, and the first person to bear the brunt was Xiaobai, who was guarding the fireside, "Ahh......h Sneeze. "Two sneezes in a row before the little one wakes up from his dream.
"It's so cold!"
The sound of Dafei sounded in the house, and Zhang Junbao turned his head just in time to see him covering the quilt.
"Squad leader, it's all asleep, it's snowing."
"It's okay, I'll sleep again."
A few old birds in their sleep muttered a few words, but no one moved, Zhang Junbao stood at the door and didn't know what was wrong, after all, he hadn't experienced such a thing.
After less than a minute, Lao Geng suddenly woke up from the bed, then looked at the door with wide eyes, and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"I said it's snowing, what should we do?"
"All assembled!"
Lao Geng jumped off the bed with a nervous face, and while putting on his pants, he asked Zhang Junbao to wake up the others.
Zhang Junbao was stunned and didn't know what the situation was, and when the veterans sobered up, they all showed the same nervous looks as Lao Geng.
"Guards, call the company and send reinforcements."
"Yes!"
Brother Xiao Ma ran to the phone and dialed the company's phone, and reported nervously, Zhang Junbao stood there and didn't know what to do.
"Squad leader, what are we doing? Why are you all so nervous? ”
"Junbao, you don't understand how harmful snow is to the herdsmen on the grassland, we must make preparations for rescue and disaster relief."
"Now, everyone immediately clears the snow from the station, quickly opens the road, and waits for the arrival of the rescue team."
"Guards, turn on the communication radio and ensure smooth communication."
"Everyone, act now."
After speaking, Lao Geng took the lead and rushed out of the dormitory, then ran into the warehouse and found tools such as shovels.
The small courtyard of Class 13 was quickly cleared, and Da Fei ran to the roof of the house, pushing the thick snow into the minefield behind the dormitory.
After turning on the radio, Xiao Ma ran out and said, "The company has been contacted, and they are contacting the nearby herdsmen to check on the damage situation." ”
"In addition, according to the report, the reconnaissance plane of the Army Aviation Brigade has taken off and is flying towards us, and we have to clear the tarmac."
"When will the army arrive?" Lao Geng asked with a frown.
"It will be evening at the earliest."
"Junbao, how long can our supplies last?"
"For four days, we still have four days of vegetables and meat, and there is a lot of rice and noodles."
Lao Geng nodded thoughtfully and said, "If you really can't do it, you can nibble on steamed buns, and you must hold on until the big army comes." ”
"Now that the weather is unpredictable, we must be prepared for a long battle."
"Next, I will divide the labor, Junbao, and immediately make dry food for the whole class, prepare three days' rations, and ensure safe drinking water."
"Yes!"
"Guard, you are responsible for liaising with the large army, and at the same time be prepared for power cuts, water cuts and no supplies, prepare for the worst, and set off according to actual combat standards."
"Yes!"
"Yongqiang, Pengfei, the two of you and I will clean up the tarmac together, and we must ensure that the planes of the Army Aviation Brigade can reach the disaster area smoothly."
"Yes!"
"Action!"
With a loud roar from Lao Geng, Zhang Junbao turned around and ran into the kitchen, and Xiao Ma put the radio on his back and began to check all the conditions in the station.
Lao Geng, Da Fei and Brother Qiang rushed into the white wasteland with shovels, bent down and began to do it.
The silvery-white snow was buried by the yellow sand, revealing some yellowish grass leaves, and the grass on the grassland had not completely withered.
In the kitchen, the iron kettle with hot water "purred" sounded, and after a while, a pot of hot water was boiled, Zhang Junbao took all the kettles from the dormitory, and the hot water was poured into the kettle.
The sound of "clanging" iron tools colliding sounded on the grassland, and Zhang Junbao took five kettles full of hot water and handed them to Lao Geng.
"Squad leader, all the front chest and back are hung up, warm."
"Good idea."
The three of them carried five kettles on their backs and continued to work the cold grassland, Zhang Junbao threw off his long legs and ran back to the kitchen, he had more important things to do.
It would be unimaginable to prepare for the worst and survive on the grassland without water, electricity, and fire.
Shake the gas tank in the kitchen a few times, and half a tank of liquefied gas, which can be regarded as a reassuring thing, but it should also be spared.
The bottom of the steaming pot is filled with cold water, and when the water boils and the steamed bread is cooked, the hot water is poured into the thermos pot.
The wooden sticks on the edge of the courtyard were brought back to the house by Xiao Ma, and plastic bags, rags and other things kept flying out of the grass nest full of garbage behind the dormitory, and Zhang Junbao knew that he was preparing torches and preparing for a power outage.
Everything starts from a state of war, and everyone immediately enters a state of war, like a wind-up machine, which enters a working state from the moment it knows that it is snowing.
God also seems to have a little disdain for Class 13, a ghost place where birds don't, so he has to go against the people here.
As soon as the tarmac was cleared, snowflakes fell in the sky again, and Da Fei, who was standing on the grassland, couldn't help but scold his mother.
Lao Geng and the three of them were sweating profusely, looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky for a long time, and finally drank a few sips of hot water that had become warm and ran back to the house.
The plan for the helicopter rescue is likely to fail, and the matter must be reported in a timely manner.
When I dialed the phone again, a busy tone came from the microphone, and I called three times in a row, and it was always the same situation.
"It's broken!"
Lao Geng and Xiao Ma glanced at each other and saw the seriousness of the matter in each other's eyes.
If there is a problem with the telephone line in the direction of the company, then it is likely that the wire will also have a problem.
Da Fei walked to the switch of the electric light and pressed it, but the light in the house did not turn on.
"Guards, immediately report the situation to the superiors through the radio, and at the same time inform the superiors that in order to save electricity, our radio station will be turned on every twelve hours, and the timer will start from the end of the call."
"Understood."
"Junbao, how are our dry food prepared?"
"Three days' worth of rations, mustard and bacon are ready, and they are in the kitchen."
Lao Geng nodded, and his frowning brows finally loosened a little.
For the grassland, the heavy snow is the biggest disaster that nature has given to people, and people call it "white disaster!" ”
