Chapter 261: Survival in the Last Days (1)
In addition to the extreme cold weather, there is also a constant heavy snowfall, and the world is in chaos.
Not to mention other countries, only one country, the people in the central and southern parts of the country have not experienced this kind of cold weather at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the south is as warm as spring in the normal winter, that is, in the central region, the coldest time in winter, it is only about minus ten degrees Celsius.
The weather cooled suddenly, and under the extreme cold, countless people froze to death and died. Heavy snow blocked the road, traffic was not smooth, goods and materials could not be circulated, and people's lives became chaotic. Coupled with high mortality rates and shortages of goods, the whole society became panicked.
The original owner returned to his hometown before the weather became cold and heavy snow blocked the road, and he had an early holiday on New Year's Day.
Although Yan Qingtong has a house in the city, considering that his hometown is safer, he took his family to live in the countryside. Fortunately, a new rural construction was carried out in my hometown village a few years ago, and the houses are all newly built two-story small western-style buildings. The houses in the whole village were built by Yan Qingtong's construction company, and his own building was built with great care. All materials are made of the best. And it's well equipped. There is even a well in the yard. The balcony also built a sunny house, and the sister-in-law will take the children back to the house in the countryside on holidays, so the family has been cleaned up quite well. When I came back from a temporary stay, I didn't lack anything.
Originally, everyone thought that it would be good to survive this cold snap and snowstorm, and after the New Year, the weather would warm up, and life would finally return to normal. Unexpectedly, the weather is getting colder and colder, and after the New Year, until April and May, the temperature has not risen. At this time, even if there is grain stored in the rural people's homes, it is almost consumed. Not to mention that the days are getting more and more difficult, the evil in human nature is slowly beginning to come to the fore.
They are called Nanshan Village, and the nearest village, Xiaolong Village, is also three or four miles away. Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, although some people in the village also froze to death, they have little contact with the outside world, and it has been quite quiet. I don't want to be short of supplies caused by the severe cold, and there are already people starving to death outside.
Someone started the idea of fighting Nanshan Village and the neighboring Xiaolong Village.
Qing Soul still remembers the scene of that day, and suddenly heard a noise in the middle of the night. The eldest brother Yan Qingtong was awakened, jumped up from the bed, quickly put on a down jacket, put on a hat and gloves, took a knife to cut vegetables, woke up Qingsoul and sister-in-law, and instructed them: "Close the doors and windows of the house, no matter what happens outside, except for me and the cousins of the two families over there, whoever comes to call the door will not open it." Rest assured, the door of our house is sturdy. I'm going out to take a look, I'm afraid something has happened. ”
The sister-in-law and the green soul didn't stop them, and finally called the eldest brother out.
Yan Qingtong went to the two houses next door and called two cousins, and went to the village to check the situation together.
The three of them were in a row at the southernmost end of the village, and there were only three of them in total. The first row in the back row is from here, separated by a peach forest, about a hundred meters away.
Qing Soul and sister-in-law waited at home until dawn, and the second cousin called the door outside, Qing Soul's heartbeat was abrupt, and that ominous feeling made people particularly unbearable. When the second cousin called the door, she ran faster than her sister-in-law, and went downstairs to open the door.
I saw the eldest brother lying on a wooden shelf, and was carried back, and his whole body was covered with blood clots that had been frozen into ice. The complexion is blue, and the person has gone.
On another wooden shelf next to the eldest brother lay her cousin, who was a year younger than her. The blood clots all over his body, like the eldest brother, also went.
The three families went to two adult strong men at once, how can life be spent in such troubled times?
At that time, Qing Soul couldn't think of this. Just looking at the eldest brother, I felt that the sky had fallen. The sister-in-law staggered over and saw the eldest brother lying silently in the snow, and immediately fainted.
The green soul also forgot to cry, but was stunned.
Until the eldest brother was buried under the control of the two cousins and the elders, she did not breathe.
My sister-in-law became seriously ill within a few days because of this blow, where can I find medicine when I lack food and clothing? Don't expect to send to the hospital, the road is not passable, and the nearest town hospital is more than ten miles away. Even if you are carried to the hospital, I am afraid that if you don't die of illness, you can freeze to death.
But the green soul did not give up, begged the two cousins to find someone, found a wooden plank, wrapped the person in a few thick quilts, put the wooden plank on the snow and dragged the person to the hospital. As a result, only halfway through, the person swallowed his breath.
It's just a few days, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are forever separated, and the original owner is just a twenty-three-year-old girl, and she doesn't dare to indulge in sadness anymore. Under this kind of natural disaster, if she also dies, how can the eight-year-old little niece and six-year-old little nephew left behind live?
At that time, her only belief was that she had to live no matter how difficult it was, and she had to raise her little niece and nephew like her brother raised her.
But under natural disasters, it is not easy to live.
By July, there was not much food at home, but the weather did not warm up at all.
On that occasion, people from outside came to grab grain, and although some people died in their own village, not only did they not snatch a grain of grain, but most of them were killed, and only about a dozen escaped. Therefore, the outside knows that the people in Nanshan Village are ruthless people, and they dare not come to rob them easily.
It's just that after such a long time, those people are probably hungry, and some people don't give up and come to grab food.
It's just that this time it's no longer a blatant robbery, but an intention to steal.
Probably because the three of them were at the southernmost end of the village, someone quietly touched them that night and entered the courtyard of the Green Soul's house.
She is the only one left in her own house with two children, so she has been awake, where can she dare to sleep at night? When someone jumped over the courtyard wall, she heard the movement. Quickly locked the two children in the bedroom, guarded the door with a knife, and opened the window, shouting that someone had come to grab food, help.
There were four adult men who came in, and when they heard her scream, they were also anxious, they didn't think about running, they just wanted to tell her to shut up, and they had to get some food to go, otherwise they would run for nothing. Running in vain means starving to death, and it is a death left and right, so it is better to take risks.
Before anyone could save her, the green soul guarded the door, slashing at the people who rushed towards her with a knife.
It's a pity that she is a little girl, even if she has a knife in her hand, where is the opponent of the four gangsters. After slashing a person, he was also stabbed in the stomach with a knife, and his intestines flowed down.
At this point, she didn't fall down.
These people, if they kill her, they will kill her nephews and nieces. She had to guard the door, her nephews and nieces, and not let these people rush into the house.
Fortunately, the two cousins and cousins soon rushed over, and the other families in the village also heard the movement and ran this way, but the four gangsters did not dare to stay longer and began to flee.
It wasn't until he saw his cousin go upstairs that Qing Soul swallowed his breath.
He did not close his eyes until he died.
She didn't worry about her nieces and nephews who were still alive, and she didn't blink an eye.
My only wish is to be able to take my family and live a good life under this natural disaster. (2nd Update)
