Chapter 7: Extreme Heat
If the temperature reaches 45 degrees today, it may reach 50 degrees tomorrow.
The leeks in the yard were roasted in an instant.
The motorbike at home is even hotter and scary.
I can't use air conditioning and electric fans, and the doors and windows at home are closed, like a big steamer with a stuffy roof.
The average summer temperature in Longquan Village is only 28 degrees, and at this moment, Jiang Si feels like popcorn about to explode.
Jiang Chengwu and Jiang Linhai wore Jiang Si's special ice cube vests, racing against time to cover the roof with a thick heat insulation board.
Grandma and Mom were killing chickens and ducks in the kitchen, and it was a sin to raise them on such a hot day.
The kitchen is not afraid of being seen, Jiang Si directly covered all the water tanks and buckets at home with ice, and the temperature dropped suddenly, and it was like two worlds outside.
Their house covers an area that is not small, and the installation of the heat shield is very difficult, and the ice cube vests on Jiang Chengwu and Jiang Linhai can't last long.
Jiang Si held an umbrella and specialized in providing cooling services.
She stood on the top of the building, just in time to see the panoramic view of the entire village, Qin Shen, who had just come back next door, didn't know where to get a very big board truck, and was unloading supplies to the house.
There is not much food, and it can only be eaten for a few months.
Jiang Si narrowed his eyes, and he had to guard against him.
The young man who ran back from the city immediately told his family that the city was in chaos, there were no relief materials at all, and the end was really coming!
The villagers were completely panicked, picked up sickles and hoes and went to the fields to collect grain, rushed to the only commissary at the entrance of the village and shouted to open the door.
Luo Qiang is not naΓ―ve, this situation is obviously wrong, how can he sell the materials to everyone in exchange for a few banknotes that cannot be used.
When he didn't open the door, the security door was kicked by the villagers, no different from a group of crazy bandits, forcing him to throw firecrackers from the roof of the building to drive him away.
This is still the beginning of the apocalypse, and every household still has food in stock.
After the insulating board covers the roof, the temperature in the house drops a lot, even if you don't use ice to cool down, it can be kept at about 30 degrees, if you have a layer of insulating paint at home, the temperature can reach a suitable 25 degrees, and when the sun reaches more than 60 degrees, the home will not be hot and breathable.
When Dad and Grandpa were done with their work, they wanted to kill the pigs without stopping.
Everyone has been busy like a spinning top for more than ten hours, and the family is safe at present, Jiang Si persuaded: "Dad, it's too late to kill pigs tomorrow, don't panic." β
Jiang Linhai was flustered and couldn't stay idle, so he said: "It's not dark this day, Dad will go to the vegetable field to take back the cabbage and let your mother make sauerkraut." β
Jiang Si nodded: "Other people's families are rushing to harvest food, if our family doesn't go, it will cause suspicion, grandma, grandpa and mother stay at home, I'll go with you!" β
"Let's go too!"
"Don't, I'm afraid someone will sneak into our house to steal things, you stay at home, take turns to rest, and get into the habit of being on duty first."
Jiang Si was so cautious, it can be seen how dangerous the end is, the big guy listened to her arrangement, and after a while, Jiang Si and Jiang Linhai went to the bud valley with the basket on their backs.
It was obviously their family's bud valley land, but several people sneaked into their field and picked the bud valley recklessly.
Seeing Jiang Linhai and Jiang Si appearing, they also sped up their speed to pick buds.
Jiang Si raised his scythe: "Whoever asks you to move our family's bud valley, whoever dares to move it again, I will hack you to death!" β
Jiang Si is a girl, what tricks can be set off.
They didn't care, Li Cui, who was used to taking advantage, smiled shamelessly: "If you don't pick a few, it's not gold!" β
Jiang Linhai was just about to get angry, and with a swish, the sickle in Jiang Si's hand was thrown out without hesitation, and the coiled hair on the top of Li Cui's head was cut off accurately.
The top of her head was fluttering, Li Cui was cold, and her eyes were about to frighten out.
What if Jiang Si's hand was unsteady just now and cut off her head!
She just wanted to scold, Jiang Si took out two pig-killing knives from the back basket, and her eyes were like light: "Do you want to get out?" β
Jiang Si, this damn girl!
The others ran away in amusement, and Li Cui stayed where he was and shouted: "Jiang Linhai, your daughter wants to kill me, you don't care!" β
Jiang Si's attitude is Jiang Linhai's attitude, and Li Cui is a ball.
Jiang Linhai took the kitchen knife in Jiang Si's hand and said softly: "Don't fight and kill girls. The voice was crazy in vain, "Give it to Dad, see if Dad can't kill her!" β
Li Cui couldn't believe it, and saw Jiang Linhai's hideous face, raised the kitchen knife with a cold light, and rushed towards her.
Li Cui screamed in fright, and scattered the buds in her back.
These two fathers and daughters must be crazy, crazy!
Jiang Si gave Jiang Linhai a thumbs up: "Dad, you are so powerful, see who dares to bully us!" β
They now have an image that they are not easy to mess with, and when the people in the village lack food and clothing, they will not think of them at the first time.
After several days of harvesting grain, the temperature gradually reached 50 degrees, and the balance between day and night was completely unbalanced, and no one knew whether it would be day or night in the next second.
The ground was smoking, and a large number of livestock in the village died, and the people who were reluctant to throw it away were still made into bacon and kept to eat.
Jiang Si basked in the sun for a while, and felt a burning pain in his skin.
She prepared ultra-high sunscreen for the whole family, and also wore breathable sunscreen clothing to prevent the corrosive effect of the temperature from rising.
The temperature rose too fast, and the grain was harvested with high intensity, and several elderly people died suddenly.
Many young people also suffer from heat stroke, dizziness, headaches, breathlessness and other symptoms.
Grandma and grandpa are old, and mom will always have medicine at home, and many people in the village know about it.
Jiang Si told the whole family: "If someone comes to ask for medicine, must not give it to you?" β
"Once you open this opening, there will be a steady stream of people asking for it."
"You must learn to be ruthless in order to survive in the last days."
The whole family agreed, and suddenly, a panicked roar came from the village, "The Longquan River has stopped!" β
There was a total power outage in the village, and the running water was also cut off.
The Longquan River below the village is their only source of drinking water.
If there is no water, you will not survive with food alone.
The fear in the hearts of the big guys reached a new high in an instant, and every family dug a cellar at home.
If there is no water now, who knows if Ming'er will suddenly dry up.
Jiang Linhai picked up the burden and said, "I'm going to carry water too." β
Jiang Si stopped him: "Dad, the weather is too hot, you just wait for the sun to go down and let people see you, our family will not be short of water for the time being, compared to others, the body is the most important." β
Jiang Linhai nodded, "Okay, listen to you." β
As soon as the words fell, the big iron door was knocked on, and Luo Fengjiao shouted loudly: "Baoying, I know that you are at home, can you give me a box of heatstroke medicine, my son is sick." β
