Qingtang Village.

According to the soldiers who were the first to check the situation, there are 46 houses in the village, each with four to five bedrooms.

Officials arranged for two of them to be in a room.

Zhuo An had greeted them in advance, and the soldiers in charge of allocating the houses did not assign a single strange resident to their seven-member team, but in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of the rest of the people, the house arranged for them was located at the end of the village.

The end of the village is a little remote.

The one they were assigned was located at the bottom of the hillside and looked slightly more dilapidated than the rest of the houses in the village.

Fortunately, the six houses at the end of the village are not adjacent to each other, and they are separated by some distance from each other, which is more convenient for them.

"Squeak—"

The dilapidated courtyard gate was pushed open.

The front yard, which was covered with weeds and dirty, came into their eyes, and Chi Yue looked around and set his eyes on the bungalow in front of him.

The bungalow is made of bricks, and large swaths of peeling walls reveal yellow-brown bricks, and there are traces of immersion everywhere.

She walked straight to the door of the bungalow.

Pushing open the wooden door with his bare hands, the sunlight pours into the room, illuminating the filthy and cluttered living room.

"Yueyue." Wen Qizhou caught a glimpse of the dead mouse lying at the foot of the table, and put down the burden he was carrying: "Let's disinfect it first." ”

"Okay."

The smell that pervades the surroundings is really unpleasant.

I haven't lived there for too long, and there must be bacteria everywhere, so Chi Yue took out the disinfectant spray, mask and gloves and handed them out, and then went into the room to disinfect the virus after wearing them.

The smell of disinfectant water masks the odor.

When the smell dissipated, Chi Yue entered the four bedrooms with similar sizes, put away all the furniture in the bedrooms, and then put them in the backyard: "Keep these as firewood." ”

"Where's the furniture in the living room?"

"Let's put it first." She took out a broom, a mop, a rag and a detergent, and said, "It's too eye-catching." ”

Yao Chengwei: "Yes. ”

If someone comes to the door and sees the living room all the new furniture, it is really difficult to explain.

They picked up cleaning tools and spent a lot of time carefully cleaning their future home, inside and out.

"Brother-in-law, there are two holes in the roof." Chi Yunyan accidentally caught a glimpse of the roof of the kitchen and bedroom, there were two holes, and he poked his head out and asked, "Do you have tiles there?" ”

"Yes, you look for Yueyue to get it."

Wen Qizhou took off his mask.

He scooped a scoop of stream water taken out of the space, cleaned the stains on his fingertips, and then walked to the backyard to see him and Xie Changxiao stepping on the folding ladder and climbing up the roof to repair two holes.

After the cement had closed the gaps between the tiles and made sure that there would be no leaks on rainy days, they walked down the long ladder.

"Alright, let's go inside and rest for a while." Zhao Peng and Yao Chengwei hugged a pile of chopped furniture, put it on the kitchen stove, and then walked into the living room with them to rest for a while.

Chi Yue went into the bedroom to put furniture.

She put a double bed, coffee table, sofa and wardrobe in the four bedrooms, and as for the curtains and bedding, they hung and laid them themselves, and they carried the baggage anyway.

"You can grow vegetables in the yard." Chi Yue took out the kettle and seven glasses: "We'll clean up the weeds later." ”

"Okay."

Everyone cleaned up the weeds, carried their luggage into the bedroom to clean up briefly, and then went out to familiarize themselves with the environment.

There is a stream in Qingtang Village.

The water between the streams is not clear enough, and there is not a single fish or shrimp at the bottom of the water, but it is enough to meet the residents' usual water needs.

"Ugh." Yao Chengwei stared at the gurgling stream in front of him, and suddenly sighed: "I still don't feel very steady." ”

Xie Changxiao: "It's the same. ”

On the way to the west, there were no disasters, but the uneasiness in their hearts became more and more intense.

"The altitude of Qingtang Village is high enough." Sun Rui pinched a leaf and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be flooded, right?" ”

"Who knows."

It is not surprising that there is any phenomenon in the world of disasters, and no one can accurately predict it, let alone give a definite answer.

They can only improvise.

*

Soon after the residents settled in Yundian County, the government asked the villages under the jurisdiction of the township to start breeding and farming for the whole people.

The task distributed to Qingtang Village is to grow wheat and vegetables, and free supplies will be distributed to households during the planting period.

This includes rice noodles, vegetables, and meat.

Chi Yue and the villagers who were in high spirits took up hoes to reclaim wasteland, build greenhouses, and sow seeds.

The first and second batches of wheat were harvested, and the west was still calm, not only was there no devastating natural disasters, but even the rain that fell from time to time was wrapped in rare gentleness.

In a quiet and peaceful environment, most of their anxiety when they first came to Qingtang Village seemed to have dissipated.

"I've heard that the sea level is falling again."

Xie Changxiao, who came back from looking for news from the soldiers, walked into the living room in three or two steps, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water.

They have been idle at home lately.

The third batch of wheat had just been planted, and the vegetables planted last week were not yet ripe, so they didn't need to run into the fields for the time being.

So, when I heard him say that "the sea level was falling", I withdrew my gaze from the television and turned my head to look at him.

Chi Yue: "How much has it dropped?" ”

"About five or six meters." He took the cigarette handed by Wen Qizhou and lit it: "Plus the previous one is close to twenty meters." ”

"That's good."

Fortunately, the glacier in Blue Star has not completely melted, and the rising water level can still slowly decline for a certain period of time.

Otherwise......

I'm afraid that the second half of their lives will be miserable.

"Is the end of the last days coming to an end?" Chi Yunyan looked at the blue sky through the window: "There hasn't been any movement recently. ”

"Possibly."

Wen Qizhou followed his line of sight and looked out.

Since the wheat seeds were planted, there has been no disaster for a year and a half.

It's the first time they've been out for so long, and they've been able to live in the right weather.

"If the end of the world ends, will we still stay in Qingtang Village?" Yao Chengwei didn't play his crow's mouth, after all, he also expected to be able to get out of his frightened life.

Chi Yue: "What do you think?" ”

"I think it's not bad to be around like that." Zhao Peng really likes to visit the magnificent mountains and rivers with them, which is much more interesting than now.

Sun Rui echoed: "Me too." ”

Having had an extremely unbridled and free "adventure" experience, none of them could be satisfied with the boring status quo.

I still yearn for the beauty of traveling abroad.

"It seems that a peaceful life is no longer for us." Wen Qizhou did not miss the yearning between their eyebrows.

Of course, he also yearns for it.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the soft grass held in his palm.

There are too many regrets in the past and present lives, and he is looking forward to leaving deeper memories with Chi Yue in a world full of holes.

Instead of guarding an acre and three points of land, living a life where you can see the end at a glance and can't be unassumingly happy.

"Then we'll set off later."

Chi Yue looked at him and smiled.

To be on the safe side, it would be more convenient to wait for the sea level to drop to a certain extent before setting off.

"Okay." They're looking forward to it again.
